Jfresljinan (Class I;tstorp On a beautiful morn in early September of the year nineteen hundred and eleven, could have been seen from Finnigan's Rock, groups of boys and girls wending their way for the first time towards the Central School Building, commonly called The High School.” A second glance would have disclosed to the observer that a goodly number of the early arrivals seemed nervous and ill at ease. To be exact there were just seventy-nine awe-stricken boys and girls. They all seemed strangers in a strange place. Few if any familiar faces greeted them with a kindly smile, yet they were soon to know some whom they would love most dearly and count among their most valued friends. Shall I tell you who these boys and girls are? Well listen! They are known as The Freshman Class, and indeed their looks do not belie their name. But Lincoln, you know, was an ungainly lad when a youth, and few have done more or have said wiser things. So judging from the most excellent work done by these fresh ones in the year just closing you may well count upon the class of nineteen-fifteen eclipsing all former classes whose great deeds have been recorded in Vox Discipuli. —Historian.
