Beatrice Sharon Treasurer .... . . . . . .r Claude Mills The -Freshmen did quite a bit this year to uphold the honor of the school, especially in athletics. During the football season our number of players was two: John Reyn- olds and Alfred Pennington, and last but not least, the manager, Joe Gianera. They shone especially in the basketball season. The Fleaweight team contained the following Freshmen: Orville Hudson, Howard Hudson, La Dorn Hall, Joe Townsend, John Kolesar and Charles Ruppel. In the Mid- gets they gave the school Peary Quigley, Claude Mills, Joe Gianera, Bob Torrey, Alfred Pennington and Harold Cook: Robert Williams managing them all. In baseball we have Bob Torrey, in track, Joe Gianera and Alfred Pen- nington. The Freshman party happened to be a wienie-bake, held at Clifton by the Sea. The class met in front of the school, and was taken over by the school bus. Some time was spent in playing games, while several of the boys built a huge bonfire. Then they baked wienies and marshmallows, of which there was plenty for all. Of course, everyone had a wonderful time! Twenty-seven

We have had trouble fconcerning the initiation both before and afterl, but we have weathered through them and are still here, wiser for the experience. Sopliomores furnished several amateur actors for Pickles and Am I Intruding T The Class of '28 has been interested in every movement that goes to make a better school. X Twenty-sin:

In the Constitutional Contest for the Junior High, John Young took first place and Margaret MacDonald tied for second, both from AS. A8 section 2 has an active English Club with Beulah Cooper as presi- dent, Paul Lessing, vice-president, and Mary McLean, secretary. Programs are made out by the members and given twice a month.
