Q-gs T' .5E5v .,:-' 1' --V V. . v- Y-7---Y---Y----1. HHSHMA HISHIRY P x 7 September, l9h8, eight eager eyed, shy freshmen entered Andover High school: four boys -- Jack Wolf, Bland Fortney, Leland Borg, and Bobby Berry, four girls -- Laura Brown, Ruby Holloway, Dorothy Donaldson, and Vonna Scott. Bobby Berry left to join the Navy, and later, Virginia ROb6PtS and Kenneth Mills joined the class. Our class officers are: President-- Jack wolf, Vice President--Leland Borg, Secretary-Treasurer--Vonna Scott, Reporter--Dorothy Donaldson. ' shortly after they galloped upstairs, the upper classmen initiated them, in order to make them feel at home in the high school. The girls were pretty in ten beribboned pigtails, shorts and long shirts. The boys wore their hair parted in the middle, and they also wore shorts and shirts. The Freshmen had to bow to all seniors and carry their books to class. That evening, there was a big all-school party in the Augusta park honoring the Freshman. They had to not only hunt the weiner sticks, but after the roast they had to extinguish the fire by crawling on their hands and knees from the pump to the fire, carrying water in their mouth. The meal was over: we all then enjoyed a nice time at the skating rink. In the all-school carnival, in which everyone participated, the freshmen ran a novelty booth. The girls did most of the work, while the boys were running around helping everyone else. The Freshmen netted a good income for the night. Five girls and four boys are near the finishing line. They have striven, played, and heckled the teachers for nine monthsgare now .about to take a step to the next grade, envying perhaps the seniors, who are graduating this year. While the seniors will probably look back to the freshman and say, 'I wish I could live that life over again.' I7
