Christabelle Anderson Jean Hardie Harry Cramer Carol Mensenkamp Adviser President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Home Economics Freshman Marks in the Sands of Time We were l:reshies. As if the thought in itself weren't depressing enough, we were continually being reminded of our humble status by the superior upper-classmen. We are not forgetting how they sent us to Mr. Fulwider's office instead of algebra, and how, as a result of their sinister misguidance, we sauntered into the biology room for our coole- ing lesson. But, being a good-natured lot, we toolc it gamely, plotting all the while to malce the Freshman Class one to be respected rather than scorned. Our first step in this direction was to equip ourselves with a set of class oificers. We promptly held an election, and when the final votes were counted, the equipment consisted of Miss Anderson, adviser, Jean Hardie, president, Harry Cramer, vice president, and Carol Mens- enlcamp, secretary and treasurer. Having thus acquired a sizeable portion of prestige, we were no longer referred to as the Useptember scourgefi We had proven our ability to stand on our own feet, and we loolced eagerly to the future. Came the Foo Pete. Came too the problem of selecting a king and queen to represent us. We finally entrusted Harry Cramer and Carol Mensenlcamp with that responsibility and car- ried on a spirited campaign in their behalf. Of course, we don't want to boast of our originality, but our class was the first to hold a Freshman oratorical contest. The entrants were: lris Fierheller, Frances Kurz, Dorothy Hillman, Annabel Landreth, Jean Hardie, Marguerite Teare, Andrew Dennis, Alice Samadeen, Anna Belle Koenig, Seferina Calderon, and Charles Anderson. Qur accomplishments, however, are by no means limited to inside jobs. Several of our boys, namely: Jaclc Schimpi, Orin Perkins, Herbert Enzler, and Merle Reed, were among those active on the gridiron during the football season, and these same lads, distinguished themselves on the baslcetball court as well. And so, painful as our debut may have been, we Find that we really enjoyed being Fresh- men, and we're proud of our achievements as such. But now we're graduating-to second floor, and it's ,USO long, 5205. Loolc out, 'lO4. Here we come! J. Wahler, D. Manthei.
