Thunderin Horde One Hundred Thirtyjive Freshmen Assisted by Conran Hake Enter Gateway to Higher Education-- Presents Uncle Dumlfs Cabin OOKING INTO THE distance at the first of the school year, one could see many prairie schooners advancing across the plains toward the open por- tals of Abilene High school. Ypon a closer observation. one could distinguish in the early autumn sunlight many shades of green which proved to be the 135 freshmen, who were eager to prove their worth. The schooner halted at the gate, while the main driver, Conrad Hake, and his assistant. Dale Savage. helped the rest to descend from the high schooners. Bob Knox with his record book, called the roll. held tightly under his i1I'1l1 a small safe. Two of the trav- elers, Myra Hurd and Bob Van Doren, were chosen to represent the group. All were ushered into the open portals. and the chaperons, Miss Evelyn Bloomc, Miss Ethel Giles ,Mr. Henry lVise. and Mr. Fred Allison, closed the gate. They began their career quite indus- triously, each choosing the course in which he was lnost interested. Those boys who were interested in athletics. organized a basketball teain. lt was a very successful season for thein and they XVOII the majority of their games. The girls also had their volley ball. hockey, and basketball tournaments. Several from the freshman ranks showed their ability in music. Beth Trude had a leading part in the operetta. and Von- rad llake was in the saxophone quartet which won first place in an ainateur contest over radio station KFBI. The various classes and clubs sold candy bars. hot-dogs, and chewing gum at the home football and basketball games. This year the fl'0Sl11ll0ll sold at the Chapman-Abilene football game and at the Lindsborg-Abilene basketball game. The freshmen were high i11 their scholastic standing. and they showe-al tl1is by remaining at the top of the hou- or roll throughout thc entire year. Many showed great ability as actors and actresses i11 their performance of Uncle Dumb's Cabin. which was the play given by the freshmen class night. This ended their class activities for the yea . l!l35-316. Next year. these freshmen will raise their flag higher and travel farther on across the plains as they go through their sophomore year. The first years are always the hardest. or so the saying goes, but the upper classmen feel sure that the sophomores of next year will find their green hues have all faded and vanished. The freshmen felt that it was hard to start out on the long journey across the plains in the prairie schoon- ers of knowledge, and the end of the journey seemed a long distance away, but their hearts will grow lighter as they near their goal after four years of hard work and difficulty. As sophomores, they will carry 011 practically the same routine as they did as freshmen. The boys will organize their basketball team and the girls will have their volley ball, hockey, and bas- plete the year with a class night per- ketball tournaments. Some will step forinance. And so as sophoniores, we higher on the ladder of fame toward mu- know they will succeed as well as they sic, lf they do as well next year as they did as freshmen. have this year, they will also remain at The Thundering Horde of freshmen the top of the honor roll. Then the ac- will become the honored graduates of tors and actresses of the class will com- 1939 and the business men of the future, 4TH ROW+B. Herchcnrocder, R. Downs, l.. Ak:-r, D. Holmes, H.
