Extracts From the Freshman Bible CHAPTER ONE He that knoweth not and knoweth not that he knoweth not is a freshie. And verily we verify that saying. And verily we are freshmen now, verdant as the trees in which the sparrows build their nests. And lo, on the second day of the week. even at the ninth hour, the freshmen :lid assemble themselves at the seat of learning, yea, as many as seven and sixty. And seeing the multitude, Principal Moore did speak and did command them say- ing4 Sit ye down in one's and two's. Therefore we did do that which he commanded and list to what he spake, Hear diligently my speech: Behold ye see before you the seniors of the '32 class. Do ye also strive to become even as they are. So the freshies grew and waxed wise even so much as to play hookey from the eagle eye of the pedagogue. Wherefore, brethren seeing that we did have Professor Steeples in our midst, he, who doeth all things well. did Coach the football ts-am. And in the days of Homer Hedee we did fear exceedingly. While he yet reiened. behold, he did eeach the basket ball team and we did win many games. 1 9 2 Pi-GE ll -c' 4 Zi f t I J l -El Lu. ffl! X X

Un the Good Ship Spatium Af'ter eight years of construction and much supervision, the exclusive rocket-ship, Spatium. was at last completed and ready for its exciting four-year journey to Mars. On September 7, 1930, forty-six capable young boys and girls with four instructors assembled for all the necessary final arrangements. Subjects were determined, books were bought, and all last minute details were completed. Of the instructors, Miss Edith Lyon was chosen as leader for a quarter of the journey, and of the forty-six, two cap- tains, Aleene Bidwell and Ina Bocttcher, were chosen. each having charge of piloting the ship one-half of its quarter. Soon after this special meeting the Spatium left the earth with fifty expectant passengers aboard. Several of the party already accustomed to radio apparatus were keeping in direct communication with Mars, others were quick in adapting themselves to this apparatus through the study of science, while still others were busy learning that foreign language, 1Latinr, which would be so necessary when they reached Mars. After the first few weeks, they settled down to real work, each having his part to fulfill. In such a way an entire year quickly passed. Although the first quarter of the journey was over, four of their party had been lost and gloom had settled over the whole ship. To disperse this gloom, they added a cheer leader in their new election of officers. For a short half year, Marjorie Tudor was pilot, Sam Ward. co-pilot, Lillian Durr, record-keeper, and June Rings their student council representative. For the second half the respective offices were held by Laurence Hay, Jennie Pool, Marjorie Tudor, and Knoll Hersh. Miss Mildred Lee was chosen as sponsor for this second year to lead their ship farther to Mars. If they reach Mars. it means success: if they do not, it means failure, Successuni sibi velmus lLet us wish them success J. . . Ni. ..,, W, , L . .

Extracts From the Freshman Bible tCONTINUEDl And it came to pass that a basket ball team was organized of maidens, and they were deleated not on their own ground, no, not once and surely they were a goodly sight. Behold, we did study science at the feet ot Hedge and we learned much. Verily, verily, I say unto you, a glee club was organized in which the voices of our gentle maids rang sweet with melody. Bthtld. we did hold a class meeting and elected Cocherell to be our leader, one of good courage and strong. Now in the days of scholarship tests, we did murmur and prophesy vain things, grieving much lest the tests be too hard. Now as the track season grew nigh, we did speak much concerning it, hoping in all things, believing that we should win all events. And they that taught did give us exams. And many did pass-out. Verily il is written. except the Ireshies study even as the seventh graders do, we shall think. Nevertheless as the winter waned and spring entered. we. trusting in the teachers tor grades, did take the linals and lo, many failed, bitt some passed, Nevertheless, watch diligently tor the time when we shall sit before you, clothed in IllllllLl raiment and shall reeeiye :ine reward as sophomores.
