I 106 I 9 3 3-3 4 CALENDAR Way back in 1896, Freeport High School issued its first annual, called The Stella, which contained a two-page calendar of the year's principal events. Another annual was not published until 1906, which was the birth date of the first annual Polaris. This year book also contained two pages of important happenings. The primary purpose of this section of any annual is statistical, yet its author should attempt to relieve dry facts with lighter matter. This year's calendar is one of the longest calendars in the history of Freeport Senior High School. SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT SEPT. OcT. OcT. OcT. OCT.

Today, several tardy undergraduates straggled back to gain more knowl- edge. just as the last bell rang this morning, a wee, terrified freshman bravely yanked open Miss Shunk's door, advanced into the room, gazed, bewild- ered, at the dignified seniors, meekly stammered, UI must have got the wrong floor, and beat a hasty retreat. Ofhcers were elected to the Latin Club at the first club meeting of the semester. Mr. Kubitz promises the largest band in the history of the school. 86 are enrolled for try-outs.
