FRESHMAN INITIATION September 18 was a day for sights at school. That was the day of the Freshman Initiation. The boys wore short dresses with one corner pinned up showing the corset and hose they wore. One leg had a hose on, while the other was bare. The bare foot had a high heel shoe and the stocking foot had on a tennis shoe. The girls wore tights and halter on top of long underwear worn backwards. Their hair was pinned up with pinch clothespins. The new teachers were also dressed for the occasion. Mrs. Shull wore her bright colored bathrobe over overalls, with bed- room slippers. Her hair was half pinned up with the other half not pinned. Mr. Radunzel was a shepherd with a long cape and wore an old straw hat. He carried a staff. Miss Hopkins wore a skirt and a man's shirt with an old straw hat. Everytime the freshmen saw a Senior they all bowed down and touched their toes three time while saying, I bow down to thee, most honorable Senior. If you were around in the evening, you may have thought Arthur Godfrey had moved his radio station here. If you took another look you would have seen it was only the seniors initiating the freshmen. Marvin Van Meir did a good imitation of Arthur Godfrey although you'll have to admit there's quite a difference in looks- in favor of Pete, of course! The seniors acted as the Talent Scouts. Each introduced his talent, who was a freshman, and told the audience where they found this person and what he would do. Many freshmen were surprised to find out just what they could do. Before we got the show rolling we had the Cardetts singing Shine on Harvest Moon. The Cardetts we found out were Helen Cathelyn, Martha Nutter, and Mari- lyn Stonewall. First to discover his talent was VVayne Smith. It seems he had just come back from Honolulu and had brought with him a grass skirt so he was very anxious to show us what Jeanette Davis had taught him about doing the Hula Hula. Then Marilyn Stonewall and Helen Cath- elyn, both from Dingly, showed us how to Charleston. They did very well considering their long tight skirts. It seems that Bobby Ted Johnson skipped showers one day. But don't worry, he made up for it by having Sharon Thomas give him a bath right on the stage. CNever fear! Never fear! His clothes stayed onlj VV e had all kinds of people with us that night. Yes, even a famous manicurist, Rus- sell Chasteen. He gave a demonstration for us, but due to some delay, his utensils did not arrive on time. He was forced to bor- row some. It seems that nobody could find
