f 1,1 XX September of 1918 twenty-two Freshmen entered the Westwood High School. At first we were a little timid but soon learned not to fear boisterous upper classmen. Our number decreased to fifteen during the year and most of us made our desired credits. Six of this large number entered and made up the Sopho- more class of 1920, at the beginning of the term. Since that time one of our members, Julia Mitchell, has left us on account of sickness. Four new students have joined us, namely, Clifford Hemler from Susanville, Lee Norah Roberts from Joplin, Mo., Ulmont Bell from Paonia, Colo., and Mona Severns from Red Bluff. The Sophomore class met and organized on March 1, 1920. The following officers were elected: Fletcher L. Walker, Jr., President. Louis Dixon, Vice-President. Margaret Jacobsen, Secretary. Arthur Jensen, Treasurer. The members of the Sophomore class are sure a lively bunch, always prominent in all the High School doings. We certainly knew how to take the freshness out of the Freshmen the night of the initiation and taught them to respect the upper classmen, especially the Sophomores. The Sophomores are also prominent in athletics, Art Jensen being a member of the basket ball team and C Tiff Hemler and Ulmont Bell the baseball team. Also all the boys are members of the High School Fire Department. The members of the Sophomore class are as follows: Louis Dixon, Fletcher Walker, Arthur Jensen, Ulmont Bell, Annie Willet, Clifford Hemler, Lee Xorah Roberts, and Margaret Jacobsen. Next September we all hope to enter the Westwood High School as Juniors, with every thought for the betterment of our school. M. J.—’22 [21]

(’lass Colors—Green Emblem—Chert;b Motto—“One More Year’’ The Freshmen class met at the first of the term and elected the following officers: Ada Conklin, President. Kenneth Walker, Vice-President. Hattie Countryman, Secretary. Edith Williford, Treasurer. Our class started off about twenty strong but during the school term four of our members left school. James Noland, Geneva Butner, and Ernest Inwood left for other parts of the state while Alice Hershey went to work. Reenforcements arrived in the shape of Lucile Slocum from San Jose and Guinevere Ray from Sacramento who were gladly welcomed into our class. We have been very active along a social line and have staged several parties and dances in the last two semesters. Sad to relate none of our boys made any of the first teams but several of our girls have. Although the Freshmen this year are smaller than those who usually enter High School they have been able to get along fairly well with the upper classmen. The initiation given us was not nearly as hard as we had expected but we must say it was very complete and thorough in all lines. We have tried to live up to all things laid down by the high and mighty Seniors but in some cases it has caused us a great deal of trouble. The Freshmen entered High School as green as only “Frosh” can be, but they are sure they have gotten a great deal of knowledge throughout the year. This will apply to more things than their school work. Here’s hoping that all of this year’s “Frosh” will be back next season as wise Sophomores. q 23 12 3)
