Freshman Class HEN THE DOORS OF A. H. S. were swung open in September, one hundred and fifty- two freshmen entered the portals of the school, to become one of the outstanding classes. A large per cent of this group weathered their initiatory year and proudly received the title of sophomore. These pilgrims were led by a group which in- cluded: Junior Duckwall, president, Arlene Bevan, vice-president, and Charles Horner, secretary- treasurer. Jean Murphy and Douglas Brown rep- resented the class in the student council. Members of the faculty are divided among the four classes to act as sponsors. The four leaders chosen to guide this class were: Miss Evelyn Bloome, head sponsor, who was assisted by Miss Ethel Giles, Mr. l Floyd Currier, and Mr. Fred Allison. The various home football and basketball games are given over to the classes and clubs for the sell- ing of candy and pop. This year the freshmen sold at the Abilene-Ellsworth football game and at the Abilene-Chapman basketball game. The proceeds from these two class projects went toward buying this page. The annual sales campaign, in which all classes take part, was held differently this year. Each class selected their candidate for annual queen and the group selling the most annuals won. The freshmen chose Jean Murphy and at the close of the campaign, found themselves in second place. The activities of these freshmen for the year 1933-34 ended with their stunt on class night.

There is a crash, a flash of light, a whirr of grinding wheels, as the professor turns the dials and Starts the machine in operation, and upon the magic screen we see the former graduates of Abilene High School busily engaged in their future occupations.

After many years, Rutz finally succeeded in capturing the two most famous bootleggers of all times, Bill Owens and Ozz Simmons.
