All were a bit awed and some fearful at our entry into a domain we had for years hoped to realize. lt is amusing to recall the various thoughts which passed through our minds in those early days of school. VVe began first of all to consider our privileges and some even came to the conclusion that classes were only to be attended if nothing of importance presented itself. But it was within a short period of time that our ideas were rather radically changed and we viewed things from a different angle. All in all, it was not long until, with a true spirit of acclimation, we fell in whole-heartedly with the school routine and shared the responsibility of supporting an Alma Mater-our Alma lllater and for some the only one. It is much less difficult to recall our many social and athletic activities of that first year than to remember the subject matter we derived from our text books. In athletics our enthusiasm knew no bounds, but socially we were very ill at ease. This was fullv proved bv a Jarty held at Dives' Hun alow chaperoned bv bliss Un er Y .- 1 . - . 3 . - g. and lvflr.

We can hardly classify it as a success. by sponsoring a Pirate Party for our Later on the Junior Class came to our aid benefit. As we emerged from the elevator that night and walked the plank in true pirate fashion we were just a little awed as who had lent realism to their brave attempt activity. Their efforts were not in vain! we gazed on the robbers of the seas to scare us into some kind of social our athletic standing from the start. We, the Class of '30, have been proud of Trux Williams was our first candidate for Varsity Football and has continued through four years of school to remain the pride of the class as he moved from the scrub team to the Captain of the Varsity. It required a year to become thoroughly accustomed to high school life, and with the completion of our final examinations which marked the close of our Freshman year we uttered a sigh of relief. We had eliminated one milestone which we dedicated to the past and looked forward to three more school terms of hard study and faithful striving towards worthwhile goals. The streani widened and we found ourselves returning to Patterson Building for another year's adventure. Here and there were new faces and then again we were aware of the absence of some. We were really Sophomores! How well that sounded and how happily we gazed on the poor bewildered Freshmen-in fact it was with a feeling of conscious aloofness that we viewed all our surroundings and with difhculty that we submitted ourselves to class room instruction. Strangely enough, those individuals known as Faculty did not consider us in the same light and we were promptly presented with textbooks and a complete schedule of assignments. Our active part in class football placed us among the leaders with second highest honors. We were especially proud of the girls who displayed their spirit by organizing a Hockey Team and who closed their season without a defeat.
