' i During the year Willie Chan, Jane Chan, Masa Ito, and Leland Owyang dropped out of school, but they were replaced by Sally Acompanado, Ping Lee, On Lee, and Dorothy Sakata. The hilarity with which we were initiated as Fresh- men last year has rankled in our minds for a whole year, so it was with pleasure that we helped initiate this year's Freshmen Class. They were good sports and didn't mind affording amusement for the large audience crowding the Gym for the annual Reception. The sophomore girls and boys, especially the latter, have been very active in athletics. Albert Serpa, Fred Kuhagen, and William Mah were awarded football sweaters for helping win the championship. Some of our Sophomore girls were dressed as nurses in the Armistice Day Program presented by the Glee Club and others sang solos at that program and at the Christmas Program. The sophomores sold candy and other eatables at the basketball and football games and this helped to swell our treasury. Erma Ostman '36 Q g W: , I

As time went by the number decreased to, 44 for Dan Ayoma, Cedro Casado, Veronica Gomes, Joe ' Espegares, Frances Furtado, Evans Jang, Chester King, Fenjamin Eegas, Jitsuo Horimoto, Ida Whitman, and Q Lillian Thomas dropped out. The class acquired one new member, Melvin Fratesf We were initiated with a Reception given by the upper classes. Games, stunts, and other amusements were greatly enjoyed by us all, but probably the aud- ience enjoyed it more than we did. The boys did their part in a contest in which they rolled onions with their noses fmany tears were shed in this racel, and played HCaseyW, a game in which they were blindfolded and then attempted to break the cracker on their part- ner's head by hitting him with a folded newspaper. There was also an imaginary sparring match. The girls had relay races which occasioned much laughter. The upper classes gave a short program in between the Freshmen uOrdealsH. However, after the initiation was over we were accepted as true members of the Courtland Union High School. The Freshmen boys were well represented in foot- ball, Dan Aoyama and Chester King were two of the Mem- bers who received sweaters for helping win the Foot- ball Championship. Grace Fujii brought honor to the class by being on the first honor roll during the first semester. Glee Club nrograms contained many Freshmen girls. Elena Cortopassi '57
