FRESHMAN INITIATION The Senior Class of '48 played host to a group of strange looking Freshies, on September l9, 1947. The Freshmen came to school dressed as comic strip characters and were so affectionate towards the Seniors, that they greeted them with Hello Beautiful and Hello Handsome while sitting prone on the floor. Mustaches and goatees adorned their faces and lipstick was added to the more forceful types. At noon the bedraggled Freshies pulled the Seniors uptown in play wagons and wheelbarrows. What a ridel The Freshmen almost broke a record getting up there so quickly. After eating their lunches they pulled the Seniors back to school . . . Slow, now, as they were growing a little rebellious. Mrs. Burgess, however, decided Mr. Baehrend wasn't such a good chauffeur at pushing her in a wheelbarrow, so she consented to ride back to school in the car. So did Mr. Baehrendl That night, the curtain went up on a group of black-faced minstrels. David Griffin acted as master of ceremonies. First came Iessie Owens Mary Ann Iohnson and Buddy Young Roberta Crockett, attired in track suits, racing madly around the gym. Everyone de- cided it was a tie. We had a great celebrity with us. Al Iolson Donna Schuetts favored us with one of his famous songs-actions and all. Ioe Louis Marilyn Mowrey gave an exhibition of shadow-boxing while Bochester Glenna Hopkins retired with a stomach-ache from his gal's cooking. l17l
