JUNIORS
JUNIOR CLASS POEM
"Tis time for the Juniors to think of next year,
When our rings and pins we'll get to wear,
It is then we'll be Seniors and be so proud
To live up to our promises that we have vowed.
But as Seniors say, and they should know,
"If you get through your last year you'll have to row".
By rowing they eman we'll have to work,
and none of our responsibilities must we shirk,
But we Juniors don't mind that, you know
So when we become Seniors, just watch us go.
----Cecil Martin
JUNIOR CLASS
Taking the school as a whole, which is the outstanding class in Black Star School? This is a very simple question and can be answered in one simple word. The word is JUNIOR. We (the Junior Class) are not boasting but we think the '36-'37 Juniors are the most intelligent group of students ever assembled in one class at Black Star. Black Star was very successful in all activities in which the school took part this year, and statistics show the Juniors have contributed largely to this success. Henry Carter was selected as the best baritone soloist in the Music Festival at Pineville, and competed in the state contest at Lexington. Mr. Keleman organized an up-an-coming band of which Gladys Ellwood is Drum Major. Black Star was runners=up in the District Basketball tournament held at Loyall. Three Juniors, Helton, Reynolds, and Kelley, were given all-tournament honors. The school edited its first annual this year. Five of a staff of eight were juniors. The school paper showed great improvement, and the Juniors are due much credit for this. The Honarary Press Club, eight students who were outstanding in gathering news and writing stories, named Juniors, including the Editor-in-chief, Associate Editor, Business Manager, and the Feature Story Writer. Each year the best scholars are picked to enter the Scholastic Tests. We are proud of the fact that six of the eleven students who entered this year, were Juniors. A new activity, debate opened to the students this year, requires open-minded persons who are fast thinkers and good speakers. Of five students actually four were Juniors. Upon the shoulders of boys and girls such as these will soon fall the burdens of this nation.
