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
