1 Freshman History (By Alice Kennison.) The history of the Class of 1914. though as yet a brief one, is an unbroken chain of brilliant victories—victories won by sheer pluck and against overwhelming odds —voetories won fairly, as all must admit. It was on August 28th, 1911, when l'orty-lwo Freshmen, valiant and true, assembled in this great building of “M. H. S.” to form the class of 1914. Though we have been together only eight months, yet in this short time we have made a record unexcelled by any other Freshman clas3 in the history of McClellandtown High School. Shortly after the opening of school the Sophomore class tendered us a Moonlight Picnic. A delightful evening was spent and we were given the first opportunity of meeting the charming Seniors and Sophomores. Still another of the social affairs was the picnic given by the Freshman Class in honor of the Seniors and Sophomores in Derr's Grove near Masontowm. In athletics we have made an enviable record. It was in the baseball games, however, that we showed the Sophs that they had better keep their hands off so formidable a class. The Safety Society of the Freshman Class certainly showed the Sophs and Seniors how to initiate. The Freshman Class of 1914 has never been excelled in Literary work. With its debaters, reciters and singers it has made the Literary Societies greater than ever. Though we never neglected our studies we managed to play a few pranks on the Profs. As this year and the other years roll by, we shall keep adding fresh laurels and triumphs to our enviable record. Though the record of our achievements must nowr come to an end for this year in this narrative, yet it will keep going on to greater glory in the passing years.
