Junior Class History
 
N the autumn of 1909 the famous class of 1913 entered the halls of the A. H. S. as freshmen. It was but a short time until we had become used to our new surroundings and made the upper classmen sit up and take notice that we were capable of doing great things, for at the end of the first six weeks Mr. Roark announced that our grades were the highest in the High School.

During the first week of school we elected the following officers: President, Hubert Fife: Vice President, Charles Tyler: Secretary and Treasurer, Bessie Chipman. For our colors we chose Lavender and Old Gold. We held our first class party in October at the home of Ruth Lowe. During the winter we had two bob-parties and in the spring a class party at the home of Beatrice Bruce, and one at Berniece Fegans’s. While we were thus advancing in a social way we were also advancing mentally and in athletics, one of our members being placed on the first basketball team. The girls, too, were taking part in athletics, winning a game from the Sophomores by a great score. As a reward for our diligence in all things while in the Freshman class the following September found most of us advanced to a position of Sophomores. After becoming adapted to our new studies and requirements, our school life ran as smoothly as could be expected of Sophomores. Charles Tyler succeeded Hubert Fife as president. We had our class party during the winter at the home of Lavena Walker, which was enjoyed by everyone
