Freshman Class The first day of school this year found 106 little Freshmen eager to go to work but just a bit backward in our attitude. The upper-classmen, however, treated us as though we were their equals, therefore, it did not take long for us to begin to feel as if we were really a part of the school. We did not know anything about high school when we started in, and there is probably much for us to learn about it yet, but we are learning fast, though we can still be distin- guished as Freshmen. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers for the year: Robert Smith, President Charles Mclivers, Vice- President Virginia Awbrey, Secretary-'Ilreasurer ,joe Edwards, Class Representative Marguerite XVatson, Yell Leader Miss Ferguson, Class Adviser iiii As is usually the case, the Sophomores won the Brawl, but we are proud of the way the Freshies took part and showed their enthusiasm. iii! .Nt the first Student Body Party, the Freshman Class was well represented, but during the dance a number of the boys left unintentionally. lt is thought that the upper-classnien took them out for an airing. By the end of the first semester, the Freshman boys were well broken in, due to their frequent long walks home. iiii Our class took a great part in athletics, both the boys and the girls. The girls stood up fairly well for Freshmen in the inter-class games, and the boys were not a bit backward in going out for the various sports.

Sophomore Class ln the inter-class athletices, we won second place in basketball. and in base- ball we took first place defeating the mighty Seniors. 1111 ln mentioning athletics we do not wish to leave out the good work of the Sophomores in class basketball. Robert Doffiemyer and Ysmael Vasquez played exceptionally well, and this is one of the reasons why the class was undefeated. 1111 . Owing to the superior qualities of the Sophomores, two of our members won society parts in the school play, Skinner's Dress Suit . lidith llunt had the part of Mrs. McLaughlin and Wlinifred Nichols was the society matron. Mrs. Colby. The operetta also had two of our members in the cast. lidith Hunt was Mrs. McSpaddin and John Shorey was an lrish motor cop, Dan Flannigau. They all did their parts exceptionally well. ohn Shore was in the llovs' 'Duartet and san f at several different affairs. Y . 5, + +111 l-ast vear as Freshies we had as our class colors ffreen and white. This 1 h year we felt we were no longer green, therefore after nmch discussion, we selected the colors maroon and white, which we hope to carry through our re- maining years in the lixeter l'niou High School. XYe have also made another change in our class this year. XYe discarded our last year's motto Green but Growing . Although we have not yet selected a new motto, we hope to do so before we become upper classmen. 1111 liven though we had the reputation of being devilish Sophomores, as juniors we hope to sprout wings. XYe leave the duty of custodian of the incoming Class of '38 to the present Freshies.

Freshman Class Not only in athletics but also in dramatics was our class outstanding. Stan- ley Rupert represented the class in the annual school play, having the part of a comedian. ln the operetta Stanley Rupert and Dorothy Sahroian played two important parts exceptionally well. XVe are very proud of the unusual ability of our classmates. iiii The Scholarship Society seemed to be about half Freshmen. Virginia Aw- brey, Robert Smith, and Charles Mclivers were three from our class out of the seven Scholarship members. We have hopes of seeing more of our classmates receiving that honor in the years ahead of us. iiii 1 V We selected as our class colors, orange and white. Our motto is Up the ladder step by step. Our class yell as written by a member of our class is 1-9-3-7 Xlere a class fit for heaven lYith renown XYe're goin' to town lireshies '37! Iiii lYe are very grateful to Miss Ferguson for the kind efforts she has made to help and encourage us. We hope we can depend upon her to stick bv us in the future just as she has done this year.
