, rl1qgSEQUOIAs19293 Senior History In September, 1924, there appeared at the portals of A. T. H. S. straggling groups of very green Freshie-sf' In a short time they knew the school, but not the upper classmen. About October they heard of a game. The upper classmen called it Initia- tion. They were immediately terrified, and wondered what it was all about! The fatal day soon arrived, and the majority were scared out of their wits. And what a day it was! They were fed on green pop, tripped over chairs, deprived of their shoes, and 1 dozen other foolish things. When this ordeal had passed, better conditions befell them, but were far from ideal. The upper classmen still hazed the green freshies. As the year drew to a close, the upper classmen knew the ufreshiesn could, in the future, care for themselves through every trial and under any conditions. Many good times will remain in our minds of those who were Freshmen in 1924. No great social events were participated in by the freshmen, due to their strange surroundings. The following year, this same tribe of green Freshies came back to A. T. H. S., as eager sophomores. They had decreased somewhat in number, but made up for this by added boldness. They did not feel quite free, however, as there were still two classes above them. Due to their better knowledge of the school, they indulged in social activities to some extent. The next year these eager Sophomores returned as full-fledged juniors. This year was the most profitable of all, and the Juniors gained renown in all class activities. The first great event Was the Junior-Freshmen party. Here the Juniors were given the responsibility of making the Freshmen acquainted with the customs of the school. And what a party it was! The Freshmen were thoroughly frightened, but not enough to harm them. A grand time was had by allf' The next great event was the junior County Fair. The purpose of this was to raise money for the Junior-Senior banquet. Pastry goods, candy, flowers, fancy work, and many garden products were exhibited and judged. A program was arranged for the entertainment of the evening. The fair was a great success, much of which was due to the excellent manner in which Miss Smith directed it. The Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was held in March, 1928. Here the Juniors honored the Seniors, who in a short time, were to leave A. T. H. S. and go out into the wide, wide world. In September, 1928, there came back to school, a troupe of highly dignified voung men and women. They had every reason to be dignihed, because they were now PAGE SEVENTEEN
