18 ORANGE AND BLACK FRESHMAN I. President—Katherine Faison. Vice-President—Harris Alderman. Secretary and Treasurer—Helena Weil. Editor—John Wells. Colors—Red and Black. This being our first year in the High School we had a rather hard time getting used to the ways. But after we got settled we liked it so much better than the schools from which we came that we were satisfied in spite of the fact that we did not feel like going to work after such a pleas¬ ant vacation. Just after school started, we went to work in earnest to make the feeling towards one another pleasant by form¬ ing the class into an organization, electing Katherine Fai¬ son, President; Harris Alderman, Vice-President, and Helena Weil, Secretary and Treasurer. The association was most effective and the feeling in the class has been of the pleasantest nature. To add to the good feeling there have been several love affairs, in which every one has shared in the fun. When it was decided to get out a school magazine John Wells was elected to represent our room on the edi- toral staff. The first quarter our class had a noted reputa¬ tion among the teachers as to our deportment; but in the last two quarters we have shifted the burden to some other room. The work by the class has been very good, and we all show the effect of our good teachers’ thorough training.

On entering the High School we found the new work hard, but remembering our class song, ‘ ' Onward, Forever Onward,” we have overcome many obstacles in the road to knowledge. At Christmas our teacher of Latin and History who was also our room teacher, Miss Herr, left us; and, while regretting to lose her, we were glad to wel¬ come Mrs. Creasy in her place. We were pleased at the end of the first term to have some of our friends from Freshman II join us. The picture of General Lee offered by Col. Van Metts for an essay on the calendar picture, “His last farewell,” was won for our class by a member. A large per cent of our class have made the honor roll during the year. Jeannette Buck has led the class, while Joseph Lewis holds first honor among the boys.
