I he rreshman L la ss AT the opening of Colton Union High School last September there were enrolled about 130 freshmen, new and bewildered by the strange procedures and sur- roundings of the school. Earl Hough was elected president of the class, Bill Hcndrickson vice-president, Maxme Olsen secretary, and Petrina Lacorte treasurer. With the help of their class adviser, A. C. McDonald, the freshmen became an organized group, ready for the year ' s business. Into all the activities of the school the freshmen plunged, and showed true school spirit. ■ The interclass debates, sponsored every year by Coach Gillaspie and Miss Olive E. Clark, were held during the week February 26-March 1, and were won by the freshman class. Those who were on the winning team were Lois Snyder, Maude Alexander, Eleanor Maguire, Oma Belle Pixley, Andy Sargent, and Jack Rairdon. The question debated was Resolved: That modern advertising is more detrimental than beneficial to society. In athletics, the freshmen showed up well. The girls who made their class team were Roberta Templeton, Frances McKenney, Lela Steward, Petrina Lacorte, Edith Crowdcr, Vida McElyea, Leona Chestnut, Juanita Gray, Loraine McCoy, Mary MuHins, Jaunita Taylor, and Delia Olson. Petrina Lacorte made the All Colton team. The frosh girls also had a class track team. Ruth Weiser was chosen captain. The members of this team were Petnna Lacorte, Eleanor Jones, Marie Black, Catherine White, Maude Alexander. Charla Gray, Jaunita Gray, Jaunita Taylor, Leona Simonds, Mary Mullins, Helen McKinsey, Barbara Hicks, Dorothy Doty, and Delia Olson. Not only the girls but also the boys showed up well in athletics. Those who made the pee-wee football team were Earl Hough, Gordon Maltzberger, Burton Clinc, Everett Merryfield, and Don Diess. Those on the lightweight team were Ivan Castle and Raymond Cocking. Many of the frosh boys were on the pee-wee basketball team. They were Bob and Bill Hendrickson, Bud Roach, Don Diess, Earl Hough, Jack Dacre, Burton CHne, Vincent Alexander, and Clarence Bell. Ivan Castle and Johnny Seinturier were on the varsity team. Vincent Alexander, AUard Anderson, Earl Hough, Paul Leeton, Gordon Maltz- berger. Bob Hendrickson, Bud Roach, and Tommy Nines entered in the Class C section of the Tri-County track meet. January 14, 1929, the freshmen had a class party. They held it m the study hall, which was decorated in the class colors, orchid and white. Thirty freshmen attended this event and had a merry time. Those present were divided into three groups, one group called Sap ' s Semi- nary, another Boob ' s College and the third Mutt ' s Academy. In the games that followed the group that scored the most was Sap ' s Seminary. After the games and dances were over, refreshments of cake and ice-cream were served. Many of the mothers were present and had an enjoyable time. The frosh were also represented in the Scholarship Society. While there were only three in it this year, Maude Alexander, Robert Clarke, and Oma Bell Pixley, there are a number of others v ' ho have made such high grades that they were eligible for the coming year. As can be seen, this class has done well, and when next year comes they will truly be full-fledged sophomores. — Ruth Weiser, ' . 2. riiKC Tneiily-livo
