FRESHMAN NOTES It certainly requires a great deal of presumption to attempt to write a history which will do anythin}; like justice to so unique and unparalleled a collection of students as the Class of 1921. When in the fall of 1917 we. seventy-five strong, entered the Falls City High School as Freshmen, the entire school stood aghast. Never before had they seen a class of its excellence. From the beginning by the absence of the proverbial mistakes, the Freshmen convinced the upper classmen of their superiority. Occasionally a Freshman visited the wrong classroom, but speedily departed as he viewed the stem countenances of the members of other classes. Our verdancy was but temporary, our knowledge increased until now we are scholars unequaled in the intricate arts of Algebra, Latin and English. During the first week a class meeting was held. The officers elected were: Marie Scott, president; Carl Hoffman, vice-president: Lois Eells, secretary-treasurer; Dean Alexander and Mildred Lichty, representatives for the Athletic Board of Control. Miss Fuller was elected as our class sponsor. Her enthusiasm has infused a great deal of spirit into the class; we wish to take this opportunity of thanking her for the help which she has rendered during the year. We also wish to thank our class officers for the faithful work they have done and the ‘‘pep” they have created in our class. The program committee selected were: John Humbarger, Ruth Mettz. Grace Keim, and Robert Coatney. The Freshman programs that were given were not numerous, but were thoroughly enjoyed by the entire high school. These programs have shown quite well the real talent of the class. The Sophomores, being aware of our greatness, gave us a reception in the “gym.” Many of the members of our class and also the new members of the faculty displayed unusual brilliance in the initiatory “stunts” in which they performed. After we had been well initiated, excellent refreshments were served. In school activities we have taken an important position. The Freshmen's great zeal was apparent in all athletics, although none of the members made the first teams. The Freshmen have been well rep- Page Thirty

resented in the Glee Clubs. Next year will see us as well represented, and we 'ill beat even our own record. Several of our members have moved away, and while we were sorry to see them go, we know that they will fulfill their duties by instituting an enthusiastic spirit in their new localities. We also were, glad to welcome our new members. The Freshmen have speedily contributed to the spirit of the school. They are in evidence at all athletic contests, and their contributions to the Junior Red Cross and the fifty-dollar Liberty Bond which they gave to the school is indeed noteworthy. We take this opportunity of thanking the faculty for the interest they have displayed in our class. We ask that we be pardoned for whatever trouble we may have caused them, and we assure them it was merely the exuberance of a healthful class loyalty. Perhaps they will graciously remem- Page Thirtv-one her when they were Freshmen in high school and were inclined to various and sundry misdemeanors. To the Seniors and departing members of the faculty, we extend our best wishes and hope that they may be successful in whatever phase of activity they take up. We are sure that since they depart from such an illustrious institution as the Falls City High School they will be successful. Thus has our first year in high school passed. As we look forward to the three remaining years of our course it is with the hope that it may lie as profitable as our first has been pleasant. We hope to attain this ideal and aspire by this advice of the poet— “Press on! surmount the rocky steep, Climb boldly o’er the torrent’s arch; He fails alone who feebly creeps, He wins who dares the hero’s march.” G. K.. ’21.
