c cmp THE SCARLET AND QRAY FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS Dorothy Howells .....Paul Rasey ... Harold Taylor .... Edith Jepson President..... Vice President Secretary..... Treasurer..... The first day of school, last September, found forty-four scared young people welcomed to the Freshman Class. To get acquainted with the upper classes a Mixer was held. After several weeks of school, during which the Freshmen became accustomed to school regulations, the Corn-Mentor Campaign opened. With their usual enthusiasm, the Freshies got busy and at the end, it was found that they were one of the two winners. The next memorable break in the regular school life was Christmas, Santa Claus visited the gym, giving presents and toys to all. Following vacation, exams loomed up ahead. Horrible tales of flunking, told by the upper classmen, were found to be myths. A bob ride was held to celebrate the overcoming of this obstacle. An assembly scheme had been worked out in which each class was to have charge of one assembly program. The Freshmen gave a play, “The Teeth of the Gift Horse,” to do their part. The Class contained much talent, later seen in the Oratorical and Reading Contest. It was in the Interclass contest that Dorothy Howells, orator, and Effie Peck, reader, represented the Freshmen. Spring found the Freshmen anxious for vacation. Surplus energy was left out at the Interclass Track Meet where the class took third place. The close of the year showed material for football, basketball, and track when the Freshmen class would return to school in the fall as dignified Sophomores. twenty-nine

c cm p THE SCARLET AND GRAY EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERS Douglas Young Robei't Merkel. Marian Cole... Billy Hughes... Francis Luther. .....President Vice President .....Secretary .....Treasurer .Cheer Leader As our school year nears its close, we feel quite sophisticated indeed, for we are about to merge into that very superior Senior High atmosphere! Since we have been able to keep both scholarship and citizenship banners most of the time, it is ample proof of our having “knuckled down” to our studies. At the beginning of the year we elected our class officers and under their direction have carried on the work of the year. Regular class meetings have been held every other Tuesday. In the Corn-Mentor Campaign we won and we enjoyed the banquet which the seventh grade gave us, Um! Um! All the good eats! Our luck didn’t hold for we lost out in the Annual campaign. We thought we had won and were about to open the box of candy which had been given us when we were told that a mistake had been made and the box of candy went to the seventh grade. Oh, well, it was April 1st, so it must have been all right. Our class has had representatives in the various school organizations, the Student Council, Corn-Mentor Staff, Orchestra and under the leadership of Mr. Gutridge we have had an interesting Junior High Glee Club. We have participated in athletics, especially basketball. The Junior High basketball teams played several games. And the parties. Oh, yes! we had some and they were fun, too. thirty-one
