A tiny Picture, if you can, a bitter cold day in February, the first of February d f eo le standing in front of a large building, individual malces his way through a crow o p p ' ' ' ' h ld' his own in the large crowd, d t t As the tiny individual wall4s along, o ing H , on a si e s ree . he suddenly swells with pride as he approaches the front door to the building. e eager y ' d lon corridor when several large, opens the door, ascends the staircase, and starts own a g , huslcy, long-legged boys turn toward him, point, and shout so everybody else in the corridor easily hears them, Hi ya Freshien, ending with a long, loud laugh. The tiny ' ' ' ' ' ' f ' b . His only regret at that individual immediately shrinks in spirit, to the size o a micro e h to do the same thing He then gathers together time is that his body doesn't have t e power . ' ' ' d h orner with the feeling only a fresh- what little spirit he has, and slowly creeps aroun t e c , man can lcnow, to a large hall, where other individuals lilce himself are entering. These two to four hundred people are none other than freshmen, the class of january, 1940. For one whole semester, this Freshman class sat in the background and were lcidded about being fres hmen. Then came February, and we were 10 s. Right away we lost no time in getting started toward being one of the most active classes to graduate from Tech High. iiow- A nominating committee composed of one person from each room was piclced. Fo ing this came the elections of the class officers. The returns showed that we had elected: President, Bob Keefe, Vice-President, Connie Bray, Secretary, Eleanor Hoffbauer, Treas- urer, Wilbert Eddy. Again one person from each 10A home room was chosen to serve on the class con- stitution committee, upon which the class as a whole voted. Our class officers chosen, our class constitution drawn up, our class now toolc over the responsibilities of our first class dance. This dance was given the name Spanish Swirl and was held in the afternoon of December 8, 1937, in the boys' gym. Music was furnished by Dale Lewis and his orchestra. The Spanish theme was carried out by the decorations of colorfully painted pine cones strung around the gym. The orchestra was seated in a small garden surrounded by a small white fence on which more pine cones were strung. This was but a beginning of a series of colorful and successful class dances, which this class was to put on. -
