7!ze afaedfzmen llndaunted by its size, the freshman class has had a most exciting year, one which will never be forgotten by any of its members. The first activity of the year was the election of officers. Marvin t'aldwell was chosen presi- dentg Mary Ellen Langan, vice-presidentg Cath- erine Harmsen, secretary, Marjorie Schlots, treasurer: and Mrs. C. A. Balof, adviser. As soon as classes began, the sophomores ordered the freslnnen to buy and to wear green caps. Following a great deal of healthy rivalry, the frosh finally decided to be good sports, and they wore their freshman caps until their initia- tion on Doggy Day. On this day they paid pen- alties for their misdeeds and were baptized with a mixture of vinegar and flour to become full- fledged students of Lincoln College. In a competitive sports night event, the freshmen lost to the sophomores and set out to provide a party for the upper olassmen. Early in the evening the freshies secured the prize sophomore fruit cake and attained the honor of being the first freslnnan class in history to eat the fruit cake before it was buried. On Hag and Jeep Day, the frosh came to school looking, literally, like hags and jeeps, but they gathered up their talent to provide a varied program to the sophomores during the assembly period. One member of the freslnnan class, Bill llowell attained the honor of being crowned 7 . King of the Gold Diggers' Fling. 1. Six girls were initiated i11to Flikosi Korai, and two others became pledges of this sorority. Three freshman boys left their studies when 'Uncle Sam called-Dean Rademaker to the Coast Guard, Donald Awe to the Army, and Bill Busch to the Naval Air Corps. Mary Nell Hawes departed shortly after the beginning of the second semester to be mar- ried, and Dorothy Goff, liavera Hohlfs, and Uatherine Harmsen left school before the see- ond semester began. In all school activities the freshmen have co-operated splendidlyg and as they leave L. C. this year, they look forward to the coming year, determined to make it as successful as was the one just concluded. -RY VPFIFFI' T 1 1 A Left to Right-First row seated: Bill Howell, Florence Hardin, Doris Gehlbach, Geno Keltner, Mary Ellen Langan.
