Junior Class History

Should you ask me, whence these stories?
Whence these parties and these socials,
With the echoes of the schoolroom,
With the laugh and cry of children,
With the ringing of the school-bell,
With the kicking of the football,
With the throwing of the baseball,
And their wild excited yelling,
If a game is won for Pittsford
I should answer, I should tell you,
As the herald of the Juniors,
Why we came here
Why we linger;
Why we try to learn our lessons;
Why we study with such diligence,
Striving always to be foremost.

In the year of nineteen-twenty,
We were scarcely ever noticed;
We were merely country school kids.
We were ever looking forward,
We were thinking of the future,
When our time should come to enter,
With the many lads and lassies,
That great building up at Pittsford,
That would be our Alma Mater.

When at last came mild September,
And the day that we should enter
Pittsford High School as green Freshmen,
We were joyous and excited,
Eager for those gladsome school days,
That should make our life worth living,
And our knowledge worth the striving.
It was there we learned our lessons,
Learned our History and our Science,
We endured the Sophomores' jeering,
Tried to keep peace with the Seniors,
And became friends of the Juniors;
Entered into all the good times,
And improved our time in general.

And thus sped our class of nineteen,
Down the difficult road to Knowledge;
Sped through all the hours of study;
Sped through all the jolly good times;
In and out its daily routine,
Made its passage safe and certain
To the year of twenty-three,
To the class called "Jolly Juniors,"
Thus it was we journeyed onward,
Thus it was the "Jolly Juniors,"
To the school at good old Pittsford,
Brought the joy of happy school days;
Brought the socials and the parties;
Sold ice cream and chocolate candies;
Gave a banquet highly honored.
Thus we reached the third great milestone,
And the course that still led onward,
To the year of twenty-five,
To the class of "Silent Seniors.'
Rose Larrabee, '25
