Freshman Class Notes OR.WOE A l) HEACK. 1D1H1U20 The Class of 1923 needs no one to explain what a bright and promising group of Freshmen we are. We speak for ourselves. We have the distinction of being the largest class that has ever entered Falls City High School to date. Our number is eighty-one. When we entered high school last fall, we got along very well with the exception of visiting the wrong class room occasionally. We soon proved, however, by the absence of many mistakes, that we were “Freshmen Unusual. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: Margaret Frazier. President; John Lichty. Vice President; Charles Uhlig. Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Rankin was chosen class sponsor, and much of our success has been due to her enthusiasm and careful guidance. She helped our class to overcome our difficulties as they presented themselves. The night of our initiation by the Sophomores was looked forward to by all of us. some with joy and others with dreaded thoughts. Nevertheless, a large crowd was present, and we took our medicine as Freshmen should. Another of the interesting events during the school year was the party given by the Freshmen in honor of the Sophomores on January Ninth. The gymnasium was artistically decorated in the Sophomore colors. Games of various nature were played and refreshments served, and a good time was enjoyed by all. When the idea of a Student Council was approved by the Student Body, we elected as our representatives Martha Cameron and Elmer Massey. In athletics, not much can be expected of Freshies. None of our number succeeded in making the first football team, but our spirit was right. Elmer Massey. Donald Baxter. and Berlyn Shields played with the Scrubs and helped to make the first team what it was. A number of our class were out for basketball and track, and these fellows will be heard from in later high school years. The program given by the Freshmen for the entertainment of the school. wTas counted a decided success. Also our part in the school carnival was not to be ignored. We. as a class, can truthfully say that we have done our best at all times, and w’e hope and trust that it has been appreciated. We know that for ourselves, it has been worth while. We are anxious for our second year of high school to begin. We pledge ourselves to loyalty and fidelity. Look for us next fall. T vonty-thr«‘«
