Junior Class History
In the year '13 the largest class of B's entered N. S. N. that had ever before been enrolled in that institution. During their first year they got the school spirit and bore bravely the burden of embarrassment which every B feels, and looked forward to the time when they could look down instead of being looked down upon.

In the year '14 the class that were now A's found new members in addition to the old members of the B class of '13. Every one was ready to start in for a successful year's work. Although the members of this class were as yet, inexperienced, they furnished good material for student activities.

The class of '18, in their Freshman year, began its real career in making school history. They were well represented in all school activities, having six men on the varsity football squad; one member of the varsity basketball squad; four of the varsity Rangerette basketball girls; one member of the varsity track team, who won the mile run at state meets for three consecutive years; one inter-collegiate debater. With these leaders in school activities and the entire class behind them they achieved many things that were noteworthy.

In the following year the class of '18 enrolled as Sophomores with an enrollment of over fifty members and every one full of "pep." This class furnished three players on the Ranger quintette, which won such a great reputation in the season '15-'16, and, as usual, were equally represented in all other athletic activities. The class also had on its roll members of every organization in school.

When the Junior year of the class of '18 opened the same enthusiasm was there but few of the members that had started with the class as B's. Two weeks after the fall term opened the class officers were elected. After due consideration the Ranger Staff was elected, who were determined to put out a better annual than had been published heretofore.

As in previous years this class was well represented in all student activities, and the Junior boys proved to be champions in inter-class basketball. Judging from the past history of the class of '18, a very successful future would be the prophecy of every one. Although the joys of college life will be greatly missed and it will be hard to break away from "Old Northwestern," all Juniors look forward to the time when they shall receive their diplomas and begin their life's work, of making the world better for their having lived in it.
