FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE A few weeks after school started last fall the Sophomores held a class meeting to consider the matter of giving the Freshmen a party to welcome them into the High School. It was decided in favor of the Freshies, and on the evening of October 4, 1913, the party was given at the home of Lillian Geith. The rooms were prettily decked with flowers and greenery. The class colors were used to form a crimson and black “1 7,” and a red and white “16.” The evening was spent playing games, while the Sophomores at- tempted to make the Freshmen feel their extreme youth, by giving them toys and other childish things with which to amuse themselves. While the Fresh- men were enjoying themselves the much wiser Sophomores cast remarks as to their behavior. Late in the evening pineapple ice and cake was served. Both classes enjoyed the evening immensely, and after this the Freshmen were treated as respectable members of the Student Body. Two weeks later the Freshmen invited the Sophomores to join them on a hay ride to the Santa Ana River. Accordingly a large crowd started out in high spirits for a frolic, and as soon as they reached the river everyone went in search of driftwood for a camp fire. Everyone was hungry, and very soon all were supplied with a bun and long stick and gathered around the fire to roast wienies. After supper games were played for a while. Then they toasted marshmallows and told stories till time to start home. The Sophomores voted the Freshmen royal entertainers, for all had a jolly time. One the evening of A pril 5, 1914, the Freshmen and Sophomores en- joyed a hay ride to Cold Water Canyon. The Sophomores had agreed to fur- nish the eats if the Freshmen would supply a conveyance. As soon as this merry bunch reached the canyon they jumped off the wagon and soon many were enjoying a swim in the plunge. At about nine o’clock the Sophomores announced that supper was ready. Everybody was hungry, and it was not long before all the sandwiches were gone. Then came the ice cream. It was rather a warm night, and all enjoyed this part of it. There was plenty for everyone and a little left over, which was donated to the kind Juniors, who went to the trouble of bringing the freezer home for them. The F reshmen and Sophomores are always very grateful for any kind- nesses and take this opportunity of thanking the Juniors for their thought- fulness. Page Twen ty-six
