Freshman History In the fall of 1931, two of our Freshmen, Mark Griggs and Betty Ball, entered the first grade here in Riddle. The first year was as hard as it could be for the young ones, but they managed to struggle through it, to the relief of their teachers. Years of school work passed and different teachers took us over to teach. School came and went. These two were in the fourth grade and were joined by Beatrice Rigsby. She came from West Virginia like a regular pioneer! The fifth grade was enlarged by Lyle and Raymond Walker. They were former Riddle residents who had been at Glendale for a few years. In the seventh grade we began to take an interest in the school work. We were joined by Liles Lousignont, Leota Clark and Pearl Boyd. They were former students of District 20. The eighth grade was joined by Alvis Hendrick, also of District 20. Before that he also came from West Virginia. Last fall we entered the high school Freshman Class, Betty Smith, from Glendale and Milly Fogus of Myrtle Creek, joined us. We were welcomed into the school with grand honors. We were the main feature of Freshman Day, in our short dresse and queer shoes. We were rushed into sports and studies which made us feel very important. We were lucky to have some of our boys “subs” on the basket-ball team and a girl on the volley-ball team, and several as “sub.” One of our main events of the year was the lovely Freshman Party which the school gave us. We were run through several antics, shocks, and songs. The refreshments made us much happier though and games which followed were most entertaining. We gave a party for the Sophomore Class on the evening of Sneak Day. We are looking forward to next year when we will see the long suffering new freshmen initiated. It will be most enjoyable. We will be the sophomores then, we hope! —(23)— ®

The School Orchestra The school orchestra was under the direction of Mr. King again this year. Since most of the players have now had some experience in playing before an audience they have overcome their original nervousness and present a better program. The orchestra functioned at the plays and other similar performances given in the school gymnasium. On Friday, April 25, they played for the Annual Fourth Douglas County Music Festival which was again held at Riddle. All schools in the section were well represented. There were several special numbers played. It was enjoyed by the audience who took part in singing the group numbers.
