The Spirit Annual Page 27 EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY OF THE ( LASS OF 1919 FRESHMAN Well hero we are PREPS they call us, (I’ll admit it ain’t a very dignified name for such swell folks) My diary is sort of mixed np so I ' ll go through it and tell yon some of the most important events that has happened this year. We come into high school with the motto, “Green but Growing.” Why the seniors treated ns perfectly awful, especially doe Wilkinson and Dorothy Proc¬ tor. That first morning will never be forgotten (now don’t that sound literary?) The first morning all the kids that lived at the college came down on the 7 o’clock car so as to not to be late and also avoid the rush. How those horrid seniors would stroll down the hall and we j)oor excited freshmen frantically hunting room 20. Those awful .senior boys actually made our prep boys get down on their knees and dig dandelions. So it went for two weeks and finallv Mr. Caldwell comes to one of us and .savs, “Why don ' t you freshmen get some pep behind you and .start out the year right by having a cla.ss meeting?” Goodness we ' d nevei thought of that. So he up and says in assembly, “The freshmen will have a class meeting” and everybody looked at us and sort of smiled. (Just wait ’till I’m a senior.) So we had our ela.ss meeting and elected the following officers: President. Gifford Terry Vice President.Warren Rinehart Secretary and Treasurer.Priscilla Dodds Class Reporter... Eleanor Murray We also decided to have a swell picnic the next Saturday. The boys promised that they would furnish the ice cream and hayracks. So we all got ready to go and here it went and rained and we never went. Later in the year we finally did succeed in having a masquerade party. Say there were some swell co.stumes there. There were grand prizes given too, only I didn’t get one. The boys all sat on one side of the room and the girls on the other. The boys are such manly looking fellows, Bernard Moreland and Waldo Mc¬ Dowell are the only boys that wear long trousers. This is about all that has happened this year. You know children are better seen and not heard. Just wait ’till next year, then we’ll make the prejjs step around. SOPHCJMORE Ah! we’re sophomores at last and didn’t we make the preps dig dandelions? My, I don’t believe 1 ever was (juite as green as .some of the freshmen this j ar. Some of the upper cla.ssmeii look on us as if to .say, “Poor Sophs, don’t they think they’re ju.st it?” Well, I gue.ss we are the best class in school. No one tells us .so but we voted on it at our first class meeting this year. Gh yes we also elected some class officers: Waldo McDowell . President Lydia Tilden. Vice President Robert Potter.Secretary and Treasurer Florence Godard . CMass Reporter Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you about our St. Patrick’s Day party. We had it in the high school gym. Um, we had a swell time. We |)layed everything from
