“Class of ’28” We, the Freshman class of the West Point high school, have launched our ship on the sea of Knowledge. When we come to our journey’s end we aim to have with us all who started on this trip. The colors we fly are green and white, (and woe be unto him who dares to say they are not altogether fitting and proper.) The admiral of our good ship, Miss Aimee Cumming. is very worthy of her position. The captain, Doiothy Elliott, first and second mates, Otto Lammers and Faylone Faltys, and the spoils collector, L.oyd Pospishil, are all hearty seamen. Class History—There are at the present time, forty-seven members of the Freshman Class. Fifteen of the original class remain. The others joined either in the grades or at the entrance to high school. Initiation—The Freshman initiation took place at the beginning of the school year. It happened at a wiener roast given at the park by the upper classmen to which all the Freshmen were invited. We had been expecting the initiation and when we were invited to the wiener roast we knew it was to take place there. We decided to have a wiener roast of our own and in this way evade it. The upper classmen did not find us until we had eaten. We were driven down to the park where they were holding the initiation. Some of us escaped it; others were pretty sore; but all’s well that ends well. Athletics— We are proud of the standing made in the inter-class basket ball tournament, by the girls and also the boys. The girls were runners-up, defeating the mighty seniors and the flighty sophomores. The boys were defeated but they did their best and we are proud of them for it. The boys played several preliminary games and often came out ahead. The Freshmen were represented in the track meet by Harlan Petz who took first place in the high hurdles and tied for first place in the low-hurdles. We may be green, but we’re not so dumb as some of the Sophomores who think a track meet is a railroad switch. —Some of us.
