THE BEROHBOK-1948 Freshman Class History On September 2, 1947, sixty-eight bewilder- ed freshmen climbed the steps of M.H.H.S. to begin the first of their four years in these imposing halls of knowledge. As most freshmen do on the first day of school, we made the usual errors of attending the wrong classes and in general, being in the wrong places at the wrong times. But the climax of our troubles this first year in this well known institution of learning came on November 19, Initiation Day, when we got a full years exercising course in Phy. Ed. on one day. We were told to kneel to the sophisticated seniors and utter in our humbl- est voice, ttPardon me for living. The girls certainly had ttthe new look. This particular ttnew lookh being a flour or burlap sack over a pair of shorts, long black stock- ings, a pair of rubbers, a hair style consisting of numerous pin curls scattered about on their heads, and wearing no make-up. The boys may very well have had next year,s new look, for they had make-up, a girls blouse on backwards, gym shorts, long black stockings, and high-buckle overshoes. On the evening of the same day we were ttentertainedt by the seniors, the entertain- ment consisting of us doing everything from rolling peanuts with our noses, eating raw eggs, eating what we were told were angle- worms, and transporting water by the latest modern convenienceean eyedropper. Later, during the second semester, 3. return party was given by us in honor of the seniors. The fresmen class was well represented in extra-curricular activities this year: we had seven members in Senior band and twenty- one in chorus. Nineteen of our boys were out for football, and several tried their luck at basketball. Vivian Ayen and Marlene Kalsch- eur made their debuts as cheerleaders. Others participated in forensics. The class was well represented in various clubs. During the next three years, we wonder if: Ed Chancellor will make up his mind-A's 0r Fls. Which one will get the most meneVivian Ayen or Joyce Lewis. Duane Conant will break his freshman record for getting detentions. Elizabeth Schlapback will still prove so great an attraction for the upper classmen. And so we leave you until next year when we hope to return as sophmores. OFFICERS President Vice President ......
