Lett to right Spencer Murray Ioe McLain Gilbert Smith, Brll Miller, and Bob Streander r 1- S Il m 0 n A freshman, as a rule, in the opinion of the freshman, is Gods happy-ga lucky gift ot the poor suffering heathen on the earth. As he enters the fresh' man class he realizes that he has now become one of the fellows . But con- trary to the ordinary, this year our fledglings are a meek and gentle lot, Though small in number, the class speaks well for itself in the school events. McLain swims a nice 220 and plays on the golf team. Smith played on the basketball and baseball teams and did some swimming. Murray holds up his end of the scholastic duties along with the other two. Bob Streander went East at mid year and was doing well to that point, So, even though the fresh- man class is notoriously beaten by the upper classes, ours was able to muster sufficient strength to hold its own in school activities. 32

Amongst this contingent we at Flintridge believe we have one ol the oldest assortments ol humanity that was ever gathered together at one place, Brewster tsixty-nine Russians-barehandedl Benedict, as every one in second lunch will swear, is undoubtedly one ol the most gifted story tellers that ever graced lair Flintridges oak-studded hills. We lind D. Mark- ham, Frazier, and Iorgensen most excellent company, that is, during their periodic migrations from the depths of jolly Bud Lyndon's swimming hole. Sailors, world travelers, painters -A you narne a few, you will lirid one in the sophomore class. 31

Lusty growing athletes and scholars have rather amazed the staid members of the senior school. Coopera- tion yes, but subjugation never has been the cry of this personality plus group, headed by Tom Winter with the aid ot lim Stearns and Iohn Baldwin. However, the upper classes have come to admire the irrepressables tor their quick wits, budding athletic prowess and good scholarship. Even the Seniors depend on these Colts, hardly realizing it, for services as ushers, as ball boys, and as enthusiastic rooters. For the best of Plintridge rooters in volume oi voice and spirit are these members of the younger set. 33
