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.

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

Their main object in life was to make merry. There were numerous ways of achieving this desirable status, but the most popular was the chasing of small creatures named Yo-Yo's up and down the hills and vales of their country. Because of his efficiency in this Olympical occupation, Colonel Billy Whitty was chcsen as Grand Worthy Potentate of the Bedpost when they had reached their seventh year of public life, Scon however. a mere feminine apostle of sweet maidenly virtue, modesty, coyness, and all those effervescent qualities that go to make up an executive was chosen to ill this worthy position, and so Mary Adelaide Deck was placed in office. These personages came to their village of Oh, Yeah in the country of Sez You way back in prehistoric days of the first grade and gradually advanced in learning until they were intelligent enough to become worthy members of Holton High School. In those days they lived in a part of the village of Oh, Yeah known as HI don't knowf' but when they changed their name to seventh graders, they departed from this precinct and entered the third ward of Beginning to know. This gifted class of people had been almost exterminated when Miss Vera Clothier began teaching them how to make beds and wash dishes and presto! changol They were transformed so irredeemably that five of their politicians could not be restrained from entering the dreadful Sea of Eighth Grad: Scholarship tests. They were. however, rescued by their sponsor, Miss Vera Clothier. This worthy heroine threw in one of her own doughnuts as a life saver. The aforementioned doughnut caused an explosion and these gastronomically-inclined pedantics found themselves safe in their little beds dreaming of Santa Claus and the Easter Rabbit. These august personages were Professor John Robert Pomeroy, author of the new sensation Women and Their Idicsyncrusiesgn Cora Dierking, president of the Ladies' Aidg Mary Deck, the modern maiden: Donald Bradley, head life saver at the ol' swimmin' hole: and Berla Beems, the home wrecker, 1 9 3 2 fETif?L77TUl':?'
