l 'UPU nfffnl 4 Thirty-one timid, but ambitious little freshmen entered Galt High School in the fall of 1922 and by the beginning of the next year were looking forward to the time when they were to be called sophomores. llfluch to our disappointment, the class had dwindled down considerably during the summer vacation. ln spite of this, the remainder plunged in with renewed effort to accomplish the work set aside for them. Each member sent forth a rallying shout when lVl rs. Raab was appointed sophomore class advisor. A meeting was called in the early part of the term for the purpose of electing officers. After a number of short meetings, the following were elected: liennie Dresser ....... ......,..........,.....,......

Members of Class After a short preparation, it was presented before assembly on the Friday preceding the Christmas vacation. lmmediately after vacation we put a great deal of concentration and energy into studying in hopes of being successful with our semester examinations. Supposedly, we all were. Our class has always taken a great interest in athletics. Several of our members have played in league basket ball games and some are now playing on the baseball team. During the basket ball season the girls decided to have inter-class games. Each class chose its team and went forth to win the cham- pionship. At first it seemed as though the 'ffreshiesf' sophs and juniors were very evenly matched but the juniors appeared to have lost energy when the season came to a close, The outcome of the games resulted in a tie between the freshies and HSUIll1!4H which was played olT on March 11. The sophomores now hold the championship, having won over the freshmen by a score of 12 to 8.

Freshmen August 27, 1923, thirty-eight frightened freshmen abandoned their rattles, their dolls, their tinker-toys and assembled at the high school to meet their fate. About a week after school had started the girls received word that they were wanted in the girls' dressing room. That noon when they walked single tile into assembly with faces painted, and dressed in ridiculous costumes, the boys laughed heartily. ln a day or so it was the girls' turn to laugh, for the boys were being initiated. On September 21, 1923, came the freshman reception, an evening spent in dancing, eating and playing pranks on the freshies. Now they felt that they were really a part of the high school. 'l'he faculty, thinking that they were much in need of careful watching, appointed Mr. Maxwell their advisor. Prompted by his suggestions and under his guidance and that of the class oflicers, llelen Bolton, presidentg Eddy Ambrogio, vice presidentg Grace Dixon, treasurer: George l-lauskin, secretary, they have taken a part in school activities which the other classes with difficulty could equal or excel. , .fks a class they have stood highest in scholarship. More freshman names have been on the honor roll than of any other class. Anna Louise Koontz alone in school has several months attained the honor of having a card on which all the grades were honor grades. 'Ilhey have been active in athleticsg although the girls didn't win the cup in the girls' inter-class basket ball contest, they came within an ace of doing so. 'llhey have resolved to win that cup with honors next year. Aside from playing on the inter-class team I-lilda lioessow and Helen Gerling have played on the lirst team. 'l'he freshman class started something new in a book pound this year. The only dillierence between this and a dog pound is that books are arrested in- stead of dogs. 'llhe price is two cents a day for each book. The assembly given by the freshmen has been said to be the best one. 'l'hey were more successful than the other classes in having the assistance of Mr. Oertel, Mr. Maxwell, and Miss Dickinson. On December 14th the freshman frolic or return reception was given. After a musical program and a dance by Anna Louise Koontz, three freshies, Miss Sorem, Mr. Miller and Mr. Oertel, who had escaped initiation at the freshman reception, were initiated. 'l'heir number attorded much amusement. Refreshments and a program dance added to the enjoyment of the evening. '.l'he freshman class was well represented in both schooliplays. Helen Bolton had a leading role in both Stop Thief and A Pair ot Sixesf' Page Nineteen
