Freshman Class In September, 1931, the upper classmen were much surprised to see seventy-three students, as green as a well-kept lawn, come from Junior High and the country to take their long-awaited trip across the school yard to start a new world of studies and activities. Not alarmed by all the suggested pranks from the upper classmen, they found themselves at the all-school party where they were initiated by the use of electric shocks and the old reliable paddle. Two of the girls of the class were chosen on the basketball squad, the boys proved to be good athletes, as some of them became members of the varsity football squad and some were on the reserve basketball squad. Two boys received their letters in varsity football. At the Freshman-Sophomore banquet, the theme It Pays to Adver- tisen was successfully carried out and most of the class members attended. Conquering the battles of studies has been no easy task, but it has been successful as well as has been the major battle examinations. Many trials and tribulations have been met in the path as Freshmen, but there are many more happy memories of this first high school year to be carried into the future. Page Twenty-six

These valuahle trees, rolled on a great pile and touched hy fire, were soon consumed. Even so the flame of time passes each class on, 'mak- ing way for the new. C L A S S E S
