Show Junior Class Officers Irene Scoville Leland Brewer Clarence Anderson In our track meet, our boys always excel. The result of the meet was 56 1/2 to 45. Nixon was the star of the track meet, winning four first places, two second places and one third place. Sterling Telford won first in the mile, and second in the half mile. Victor Critchlow proved himself a high flyer by winning in the pole vault. Cornelius Sander attained to some high flights by winning second in the high jump and third in the pole vault. President Brewer showed his ability at handing out the goods by winning second in throwing the disc. Abe Stevens went at some swift rate when he took third place in both the 220 and 440 yard dash. Wilkinson beat all but two in the hundred yard dash and in throwing the hammer. The scholastic attainment of the Juniors is a source of pride to the Principal and faculty. Not only have we been successful mentally and physically, but we have also been successful socially. The boys have no longer found it to their advantage to search in other classes for fair maids, but have been loyal cavaliers to our own damsels. While Nixon has been somewhat a traitor in this respect, we could not help admire his grit when he escorted one of our own girls to our class parties. Another reason for saying that we have been successful in the strong tie of friendship and mutual dependence that has developed between the Junior Class as a whole and Brother Barker. We have had some difficulty in getting acquainted, but our respect for each other strengthens, because a friendship that develops out of difficulties proves to be a truer and more lasting attachment as the bigger elements of character are brought to light. Mere words are almost inadequate to express our appreciation for our friend the Principal. A great deal of our success is due to Brother Dixon, our class advisor. A lucky star must have presided over our class when we chose him. He has attended class meetings and has been a Junior in every respect. We wish to express our love and appreciation for the rest of the Faculty members. Our thanks is due to Brother Wilson, Sister Shurtliff, and Brother Watson for the aid given our several contestants. We finally wish to extend the hand of fellowship to the Seniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. While we have contested earnestly, we have felt a great deal of pride when they have put forth their efforts in the same manner and direction in which we have worked. We wish to compliment the Freshmen on their activity and encourage the Sophomores in their work and wish them success. It is with pride that we see the Seniors go from Weber. While we shall miss them and their enthusiasm, we are glad that they have remained true to Weber. Our President, Mr. Brewer, and Vice President, Miss Scoville, in connection with the other class officers, are deserving of our confidence and thanks for their untiring efforts. Junior Class |
