Freshmen History On September 14 was born the youngest member of the High School family which, after much deliberation, was named the Freshman Class of 1926-27. The infant appeared to be perfectly normal until its first toy was received from Miss Watson, and algebra, general science, manual training, domestic science, spelling, rhetoric and cooking were soon presented to it. These were gratefully received by the youngster and the rest of the family expected to have a small time to itself. In this they were mistaken, for at the last of the first month loud wails were heard which they knew were caused by his being tired of his new attractions. The class' first laugh was heard in the study' hall when it learned of its marvelous advancements during the first month. After this, loud peals of laughter, caused by successes, and many sobs, caused by failures, were heard from the different rooms of the high,-school's home. 'N The youngster gained in knowledge and behavior so well that it was soon envied by its sister and brothers, who were Sophie, Jr. and Sr. At the end of the first term the baby was promised a visit by the present- givers, who brought as offerings, exams. These presents were received and, while the class broke up some of them real soon, others were kept for over two days. After the departure of the present-givers, the baby class found a new amusement. These things he played with Lturned out to be toys that were harder to break than the first ones. This baby, at the end of the first year seemed to have been capable of filling one of the most important positions in High School, which is being the Freshman Class. Page thirty-two

Freshmen We, the freshmen of D. H. S., assembled at Central High School Sept. 14, 1927, with a determination to make a banner freshmen class of the years 1926 and 1927. ' One of our first achievements was the election of Howell Summers, as class president. With the co-operation of his classmates, he is achieving remarkable success, despite his handicap of daily reducing. Vivian Lee, one of our good looking girls, signed a contract to use a large amount of paint, powder, and lipstick, and her signature was O. K. Miss Rankley, the study hall teacher, referees the eraser battles and what she says goes. We get so rough sometimes in the study hall that Coach Mor- gan comes and referees us. We feel that we are steadily overcoming the difficulties that are lined be- fore us, and with continued perseverance to conquer present tasks, will be enabled to carry on that part of our education, derived from the 10th grade.
