34 LA COPA DE ORO Freshman Class History The Freshman Class came into being on the 13th day of August, 1923. We were forty-four in number, green as the grass is out in the wide, open spaces, and about as self-confident as calves at round, up time. Although we received two new members during the year, our number gradually dwindled to thirty-three by spring. Life in High School for the first few weeks was one continual round of don'ts and do's. High School customs were new to us, differing widely in many respects from the customs of the gram- mar school, and traditions were unknown to us. Early in October, however, We were royally entertained by the upper classes at a Fresh- man Reception which consisted of a program, games, dancing, and -eats. The Freshman class presented for its stunt, a trained ani- mal act, with Dorothy Baker as trainer. Twelve of our members reported for duty on the football squad. and nearly all of them practiced all season, showing their willingness and determination to do something for the team, even though they knew that they would get no chance to play in a game. Three of the boys, however, Cassin, Soberanes and Walker, made first squad. Sober- anes played regularly throughout the season. Cassin played in most of the games, and injuries alone prevented Walker from doing like- wise. In basketball the class team defeated the regular light-weight team in practice game. This augurs well for the future of King City High's Basketball teams, for this zealous light-weight team lost only one game during the season. In the intramural track meet, the Freshman-Junior team easily defeated the Sophomore-Senior team, while in the varsity track, Leslie t Abe J Hables looks like a sure-fire winner. He won both the 880 yard and mile run at Santa Cruz, and ran his 220 in the relay with credit. Barring unforeseen developments, Abe will some day make a really great runner. In baseball, scholastic requirements kept two of our class off the squad, leaving Henry the only Freshman on the team. Next year we hope to see those grades up so that we can put forth our full athletic Strength.
