FEN GEL GREEN MURPHY CASAN OVA Freshman Class History By JOHN GRAFF E, Tl IE FRESHMEN-the little brothers and sisters of Abilene High --entered our classes September 2, 1929, and although we had been on the shelf before as visitors from -lunior High, we could scarcely real- ize that this was our new home school. The upper classmen really treated us as if we were human or might become such if we remained here long enough. We soon outgrew our feeling of strangeness. Class officers were elected at our first Freshman meeting. They were: President, William Green, vice-president, Lucile Murphy, secretary, Ruth Fengelg and treasurer, Robert Casanova, Elizabeth jane Keel and Max Beamer, representatives for student council. Ella Walker, representative for the Booster, was elected later. The sponsors were Miss Esther Crowe, Miss Averill Jeffcoat, Miss Ethel Giles, Mrs. Genevieve Andrews, and Mr. Fred Allison. The Freshman week was a hilarious one. VVe were rather over worked the first day, but it was fun. We enjoyed our greenery on St. Patrick's day and we took the jokes and teasing from the upperclassmen without a word or a tear, at least, openly. All in all, we consider ourselves initiated into Abi- lene High life. We have tried to do our part in all school activities, we are represented in basketball, football. band, orchestra, glee clubs, and track. We hope, as we go on, to distinguish ourselves in these as well as in other fields. We are holding up a high standard for scholarship which we challenge the coming freshies to beat. In March 1930, we gave our Freshman chapel. An acrobatic dance was given by Nadine Holms, a playlet, Eether or Eyetherfl and a tap dance by -lean Rogers and Iona May Morrison. The play was presented by Alden Carney, Ella Walker, W. Fuller, john Graff, Lennice jean Baer, Lois Welsh, and Georgia Medley. The cast was frightened, but the girls kept a grip on their memories. The boys, wits fled utterly, but every one was there to laugh at and with us, so it was really a huge success and gave the Freshies a chance to show that maybe they could act and to give a yell for themselves at the conclusion. A clever stunt in which several members of our talented QFD troupe par- ticipated was presented class night. A few days longer were given for practice and the parts were known better than those in the class play-there surely coulldnit have been over a dozen mistakes. You all once were Freshmen, so were we, all of us, but remember as you snicker, that mighty oaks come from little nuts and anyhow we are on our way-we can be called sophs now.
