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

The Four lnk Spots appeared in the persons of Teddy Ioann Vander Meersch, Rastus Betty Ann 'Cathelyn, Sambo Dorothy Bills, and Hiram Robert Schoffstall. They o'bliged us with their version of ln the Gloaming, and to hear them sing it, you Wouldn't have recognized the old song. Miranda Iones Raymond Lootens and Iennie Washington Raymond Lynch appeared with scrub pails and proceeded to wipe up the milk that White Chile lim Sprague spilled from his bottle while supposedly resting in the arms of Mammy Billy Griffin. All the children in the audience were delighted to see Uncle Remus Mil- dred Mott appear on the stage to tell them a story. lt was quite a story, too! Aunt Iemirna Richard Madsen had a proposal from George Washington Carver Carrie Ellen Hasbrook. She wouldn't give him her answer at the time. She likes to keep 'em guessing! We had a pianist of radio and movie fame with us. Hazel Scott lim De- Bates played his own rendition of Symphone in thirty-two flats! Duke Ellington Baehrend came straight from the Edgewater Beach Motel to be with us. He and his band played the traditional Ulingle Bells. His band was the entire minstrel cast. Sugar Robinson Shirley Buckman says, Fairies sit on Fairy Tales! Quite an understatement, don't you think? Iimmy lennifer Iones Laurel Keelan tried to top this by telling a yarn about elephants and daisies. Lena Horne 'Tommy Nelsen was bashful about appearing, but he finally favored us with a song. Sadie Simpson Brian Rodgers, Sophine Snooker Bobby Miller, and Lena joined in a fast jitterbug for us. lt was quite the dance! Duke Ellington led his band in the grand finale and the curtain came down on a group of exhausted but happy Freshmen. The Senior dance followed with music furnished by Iulian Heene's orchestra. The gym was decorated in true southern style. A small log cabin was the center of interest, and fences and flowers completed the scene. The following freshmen were initiated: Marilyn Mowrey, Laurel Keelen, Donna Schuetts, Carrie Ellen Hasbrook, loanne Vander Meersch, Dorothy Bill, Roberta Crockett, Betty Cathelyn, Bill Griffin, Richard Madsen, Raymond Lynch, Robert Schoffstall, Robert Miller, Glenna Hopkins, Mary Ann Iohnson, Raymond Lootens, Tommy Nelsen, lim Sprague, lim DeBates, Brian Rodgers.
