24 TRUE BLUE 7. Feminine freshmen, whose hair requires a ten minutes preparation in the cloak-room, should come provided with their own mirrors; the monopoly of the cloak-room mirror should be left exclusively to upper classmen.

TRUE BLUE 23 now getting along in fine shape. The Freshmen especially are to be recom- mended for their good showing at the practices, and although the upper- classmen can advise the “poor Freshies” in about anything they might prifit by their example in this matter, and make a better showing at the next practice. It is a peculiar thing that many girls who come to practice once, never appear again. Why is it? Even if you are lame and stiff or bruised, don’t let such little things as that keep you from enjoying one of the best games there is for girls,—but come out to practice next week, try to make some class teams, and work for a High School team that can win the Champion ship for 1915. —I, u. ’15. EXCHANGES Since this is the first issue of the True Blue, and the staff has been organized for only a short time we have been unable to get exchanges from other schools. When the True Blue gets under way in earnest, however, we mean to make this department what it is supposed to be. We wish others to show us where we can make improvements and criticize us as we will criticize them. Remember, fellow Exchange Editors, “our best friends are they who tell us of our faults.” RULES FOR FRESHMEN The following rules, although borrowed, should be obeyed by the Freshman of Hudson High School: 1. Freshmen should take advantage of their study periods, and spend their time in study, not in trying to urge the Assembly room clock to make more speed. 2. On approaching upper classmen, male Freshmen should remove their hats and remain holding them while addressing the upper classmen. 3. Freshmen should handle the books given them with care, and turn the pages with the reverence they deserve. 4. When receiving your monthly copy of the True Blue, don’t immediate- ly try to point out to your classmates how much better you could fulfill such and such a position. Remember that the staff of said paper is com- posed of grave and experienced upper classmen, and as such, honor their efforts. 5. Freshmen should be especially careful in using the stairs, not until one has attained the honorable position of Sophomore may one go down stairs with a history in one band and a note book in the other, preparing the next lesson. 6. Freshmen should carry two pencils, a pen, an eraser and a ruler. Such articles should always be at the demand of upper classmen who are thus spared the necessity of providing tor themelves.

Till! E BLUE 25 Wise Sophomore:—“I guess I know a few things.” Proud Freshman (not to be outdone)—‘‘Well, I guess I know as few things as anybody.” —Ex. We love the little Freshies They try so hard to learn. They never will get roasted. For they are too green to burn. —Ex. Think you not,” said the Senior to the maiden fair, “my mustache is becoming.” The maiden answered as his eyes she met, “It may be coming, but its not here yet.” —Ex. Once he was a starving Freshman, Daring not to smile or speak. Next he was a stupid Sophomore Planning new things every week. Then he was a good old Junior, Helped along the Freshman class. Now he is a dignified Senior Praying only, that he’ll pass. —Ex. Speaking of Ford automobiles, a sparrow was sitting in the street. A Ford ran over it. The sparrow looked up and said, “Cheap! Cheap!” Teacher, trying to make a showing before the superintendent, “There are five children in the family and the mother has only four potatoes to divide. What is she to do?” “Mash ’em!” cried Tommy. —Ex. “Keep pushing ever upward, With a smile and not a frown, It takes a live fish to go up-stream Any dead one can come down.” —Ex. “Why is a Senior like a music box?” Because he is full of airs.” —Ex.
