A dviser CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR September, 1943 Here I am, a freshman at last. Never thought I'd make it. We had our annual FreshmanfSophomore Scrap. Our guys did a good job, but gosh-those sophomores are strong. Saw Hasty Wertenberger. He looked a little wet, so I asked him if it wasn't a little late to go in swimming, Wonder why he looked at me so funny? Football season got off to a big start. All the freshman girls are in love with Rod Swinehart. We didn't think that one of us would get him in the end. VVe're mighty proud of Don Harris and Bob junkin, who are on the team, too. October, 1943 I got my Hrst six weeks grades. I didn't believe Miss King when she told me I was so dumb, Well, we can't all be as smart as Sid Amster. November, 1943 Amo, Amas, Amat, Amamus, Ama - Ama -- Ch, heck! I never will under' stand Latin. The Freshman Latin Club held a box social today. Margie Silver brought a befutiful box all done up in pink and blue ribbons. Pat Wilson's was pretty, too. Richard Arnold didn't know which one to bid for, but he finally decided on Margie's. I told Joe Anfang which one was mine, but he didn't bid for it at all. Ch, well, I really don't mind eating alone. February, 1944 I just hung my lasso back in the closet after using it for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. What a blowout! Dot Weimer brought that smooth Gene Buehler while Nancy Bachtell and Sally Bethke managed to capture Stan Welty and Walt Grosjean. Bob Davies was led in by Isie Schie. The General played host and everyone had a wonderful time. fContinued on Page 1041 fPage Eighteenj
