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. Bill Healy led several yells at the Pep Assembly previous to the Rochelle game. A successful tea was given by the G. A. A. for first year girls. Rochelle met us on our own field for the first game of the year. Freeport took both of these mght games to the tune of 13-0 and 7.6-0, heavies and lights respectively. Betty Shaefer, newly elected president of the Philos, led the interesting program concerning Galsworthy's works which the club enjoyed this evening. The Girls Club has launched a magazine drive in hopes of aiding thirty needy girls. Today, the G. A. A. had its first regular meeting. Again Freeport conquers on the home field, the heavies throwing Polo to a loss of 37-0 and the lights winning by 12.-0 against Mt. Carroll. At the initiation to the Latin Club, Rachel Green got three toy balloons for singing. Joliet beat the heavies on the home gridiron 14-6, while the home team lights won 19-0. Freeport went to Rockford to be trounced 7.6-0, however, the second team came through with 7.0-0 victory. Eighteen new members were initiated into Mask and Wig at seven o'clock this evening. Teachers institute gives us a short vacation starting after school tonight and ending next Monday morning at 8:30.
