1926 THE SEQUOIA 1926 Qllama nf 'EE An extraordinary tribe of very green Freshies appeared at A. T. H. S. in September 1922. There were forty-two of them and the upper classmen were soon convinced that the Freshies would forever possess the ability to look out for themselves, and to stand up for their rights wherever they might be. The members of this unusual class were collected from a number of dif- ferent grade schools, but it was not long before they were firmly bound into a united class and were all ready to support it loyally. During that first memorable year, there were many good times which will forever remain in the minds of those little Freshies but no great social events were indulged in because they believed their time to be too fully taken up by study. When a year had passed, the tribe of Freshies had changed into a much smaller group of eager Sophomores. Although they were much smaller in number, they were now more able to make a more lasting impression on the school. Even though they had lost a great number a few new members were added from other schools. It ws not long before the Sophs had emerged into flighty Juniors. They accepted this year as the crowning height of their glory. They were respon- sible for making the new class of Freshies acquainted fully with the cus- toms of the school. At the Junior-Freshman party the thoroughly scared the little green Freshies but not to such an extent that they were unable to re- sume their studies. Their next step was to acquire some wealth with which to make a good impression on the Seniors at the annual banquet. It need not be said that this event went over with a bang and that it was a remarkable success. Once more they returned to A. T. H. S., this time as dignified Seniors, although some people believed them to lack dignity. The Senior family had dropped away until they were only nineteen in number. It was not long before talk of the Senior play was in the wind. This talk culminated into the pro- duction of The Whole Town's Talking in which all of the nineteen par- ticipated. Everyone knows what a great success it was as the whole town talked about it for some time afterward. Although they had made quite a sum of mone they might leave an extraordinary class gift to the school. To acquire this needed money they sponsored a Lect C sandwiches and served cafeteria. y, they needed more so that ure ourse and a show, and also Sold Vim, vigor, and vitality. Page T-1:6117
