At the first class meeting offi- cers elected to serve the semester were Frank Bettenceurt, presidentg Jack Faddis, vice-presidentg Dorothy Thiessen, secretary-treasurer. True to Hilmar traditions, the sophomores supervised the initiation of the freshmen. This ceremony was held in October, when the Wfreshiesn received a fine working-out and soon learned who was boss.
