Tom Pugh Class Colors-Blue and Gold The Freshman Class entered school with an enrollment of fifty-six but since then the number has been diminished. The Freshmen were heartily welcomed to the school by a reception given to them in October by the upper classes. After a short and amusing program we went to the gymnasium where we found a delightful surprise awaiting us. In athletics the luck was all on our side. Out of three basket ball games the boys played with Los Molinos they won two. The girls played two games and won both. G. S., '19. 28

the home of Miss Florence Kettles. The lawn and house were prettily decorated with the- Closs Colors. The program com- mittee was greatly congratulated for successfully entertain- ing the class with games and music. The Class was also suc- cessful in retaining their delicious refreshments as several attempts were made to snipe them. February 4, 1914:- A Japanese Operetta, Princess Chrysanthemum was given in the Maywood Opera House by the Sophomore Glee Club. As it proved to be favorably received the club intends to give another next year. They are also very fortunate in having such a patient, loving guide as their organizer, Miss Brown. February 8, 1916:- . The Class received their long, coveted pins. February 26, 1916:- Under the magic hand of Miss Brown the Sophomores became darkies and gave a minstrel show in the Carnival. March 3, 1916:- The Darkies were entertained at the home of Miss Brown and were caught in the web she had spun for them. They found many things there which amused them during the evening. The damp weather outside had no effect on their spirits and after partaking of the lovely repast at the Oasis which she had had prepared for them, they departed, all de- claring her the best hostess. -F.

ibut Irrzhman Ullman The Freshman is the wisest class, In all our Corning High. We beat the Sophomores so bad, They cannot help but cry. The Juniors say, How sweet they are! They must have studied hardg For we tried very long to be, The wisest among the bards. The Seniors look among our ranks, And think-what girls and boys Can be so very, very, wiseg They call us but their 'toys. And people wonder how it is That our small heads can hold, All the knowledge of one long yearg Because we are not old. And so the future year doth bring Knowledge, if we but tryg That shall make us the wisest class, Of our good Corning High. MARY HOFFMAN, '19 29
