ofzciilda Rowing, not drifting September 5, 1937 was an exciting day for 45 fresh- men as it was the beginning of our high school career. W'e wondered if ever before in our short lives we had felt quite so insignificant as now. Under the helpful guidance of our sponsor, Miss Payne, we were taught the rules and regula- tions of H. H. S. Just one week after we had embarked upon our jour- ney, we were initiated by our enthusiastic superiors, the sophomores. The freshman officers were: Richard Young, President, Mary Myers, Vice President: Helen McGreW. Secretary- Treasurerg Menzenita Houser and Jack Blizard, Cheer Leaders: and Waldo Gray, Sargeant-of-A1-ms. Our Stu- dent Council Representative was Frankie Squier. On School Day of the Howard Fall Festival, each high school class entered a float. We were very elated when We received first prize, which enlarged our bank account some ten dollars. One of our classmates. Virgil Jay, broke his leg while playing football and was forced to quit school for the re- mainder of the term. We chose as our class flower, the red carnation, and as our colors, blue and silver. ln the fall of 1938 there were forty members of our old freshmen class to begin as sophomores with a few new faces in the midst. My! we certainly feel much better than we did at this same time a year ago, and We can certainly sympathize with the freshmen of today. We know what lies before them. ln due time we initiated the freshmen and were quite easy on them in comparison to our treatment last year. During the year we have enjoyed several social func- tions, one of the best being the all school Christmas party. We are very proud that five members of our class re- ceived football letters this year. We now feel that we are quite ready to enter into our third year of high school and fill that position quite Well. Helen McGrew. 25

QZMAQMZWW jtizitdltf On September 5, 1938, forty-one freshmen started to Howard High School. After initiation and the general con- fusion of getting started, school got under way for them, and they finally learned when and where their classes were. There seems to be nothing slow about this group, for almost immediately a picnic was being planned- On Sep- tember 21, after school, we all hiked to the river south of town. Various games provided the entertainment until everyone gathered about the fire and enjoyed a fine picnic lunch of weiners, marshmallows, pickles, buns, and apples. Just about dark the party disbanded and everyone went home, full and happy. On September 30, each class in the high school enter- ed a float in the All School Day parade. The freshmen prepared for the event by working industriously on a float that carried out the idea of our winning the Moline-Howard football game which was to be played that night. The re- sults-we lost the football game, but the freshmen Won first prize and ten dollars on their float, although Moline failed to carry out their predicted fate. The second party of the season was the all high school Christmas party held in the grade gym. The freshmen helped out in :he program and also in the serving of de- licious refreshments of punch and wafers. The first semester was completed and the second semester about half over before another party was planned. This one on March 16 took place at night in the Agriculture room in the high school. Prizes were given in Ringo and other games. A ping pong tournament was held, and at a late hour refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. The first year of high school for the freshmen is draw- ing to a close. During the course of the two semesters, four members left us and threetnew members were added, leaving a total at the end of the school year of forty mem- bers. Next year When we are one of the upper classes. we plan to do even greater things than have been accom- plished this past year. Phylii s May, Dorothy Degarimore. 27
