Jfrzsbman Qtass iiaisturp 'Twas on the eighth of September, in the year of Nineteen Hundred and Eight, when the Fresman Class, composed of thir- ty happy members, enrolled in the Albion State Normal School. Each face glowed with the thought of five years of life, that were to be enriched by all the woes, experiences, and tragedies which life at school alone can bring, while in eacl1 bright eye burned the desire to out-do in the race any previous Freshman Class in the annals of history. Early in the year the Freshies met and adopted as their class motto, Honesta Quam Splendida' '-Colors: Crimson and white, their flower the beautiful carnation. They unanimously elected as President Arthur Haight, Secretary, Vera Pierson, Treasurer, Price Sears. In athletics the Freshies have done themselves proud. Hav- ing two members on the first Girls' Basket Ball team, and a well organized team in Boys' Basket Ball. They won the championship over the Preps, by a score of sixteen to nine. And the Sophs cancelled a game with them, showing they feared their dander. ' The Freshmen have in their midst a Milton, who promises to tread in greater paths of fame than Milton, the poet ever dreamed of. There is not one among this thrifty band of workers who, in the years to come, will not look back with fond pride upon his class of Nineteen Eight.
