As usual, the school year commenced with the chattering of some 280 light-hearted Fresh- men. Their dim outlook was brightened by the friendliness and cooperation of their teachers and the upperclassmen. The Big Little Sister, G.A.A., athletic activ- ities, and Hi-Y, drew them into the current of school life, such as: joining clubs, going to parties, participating in the All School Play and the Carnival, the Operetta, and trying for the honor roll. The Freshman Party was, of course, the favorite. Everyone became ac- quainted and had a hilarious time. Many new things are learned by the Fresh- men all through their high school careers. Not only facts relating to knowledge, but also in social etiquette. In home rooms, teachers guided them along the right paths, while officers were elected to conduct discussions on ways to improve their manners and study habits. Though they were the subject for the famous freshmen jibes, the lowly green things took everything in their stride and some made the honor roll. These students who were, but a short time ago nothing but sputtering sparks are by now dynamic thunderbolts. The first and hardest year of school life is over, and they have three glorious years ahead of them. 17
