FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Early in September the freshman class enrolled with five members. They were Raymond Wilson, Danny Sawyer, Morris Rod- velt, Frances Bindle, and Ruth Ann Jacobson. Raymond and Danny were graduated from Willis Grade School, Morris from Maple Grove, Ruth from Temple Rural Grade School, and Frances from Hickory Grove. We elected our class officers early in October. Our president was Ruth Ann, vice-president, Frances, secretary, Danny, and treasurer Raymond. On September 19, we were initiated by the seniors. During the day the boys had to wear shorts and green bows in their hair. The girls wore boys trousers backward. We were supposed to carry raw eggs in our pockets too, but instead we carried hard-boiled eggs. We wore our hair in pig-tails tied with green ribbons. Later that night, we went to the Horton Lake for a picnic. The freshmen were the first to have a class party and for this we went to the show HCluny Brown in Horton, and afterwards had re- freshments at the cafe. We gave an assembly play on Wednesday October 16, entitled, '6Greek Meets Greekn. This was followed by songs and jokes on indivi- dual members of the student body. The representative selected for the student council from our class was Frances. The freshman class was the only class that contributed lOO95 to the March of Dimes. We paid 159 monthly class dues. The freshmen took active part in music and sports in the school. The girls were re- quired to take English, citizenship, home economics, and typingg the boys, agriculture, health, English and citizenship. At the beginning of the second semester Mary Gamble from Kansas City joined our group of five.
