Being Freshmen. we were overjoyed hy the thought or' Christmas holidays. MARCH Bastball was shoving basket- ball out of the spotlight. but our basketball teams were wag- ing some hard battles in the county tourney. Finally the boys' team emerged victorious. winning the trophy plus all the honors. SEPTEMBER The bell rang to begin the school year ot' 15u:55l-1940. Une hundred and thirty-eight so- phistii-ated Sophiesn marched through the portals of Asheboro High School - - Sixty-four boys and seventy-four girls. At last! We had moved up from that lower rung of the ladder! No longer were we frightened t'reshies. DECEMBER Those days before Christmas ho.idays were breathless with excitement. Around Devember toe twentieth we poured out of the school building with only one thought in mind. we were going to have a grand Christ- mas. mhspile impending exams. MARCH .Ks Mart-h winds bowled, we bowled too. After all. a fellow gets tired of studying and for- Lfets his resolutions. VVe were straining like horses at the bit for Easter holidays. .e.lQQBjQ3QDCe OCTOBER line morning the Freshmen were called into ehapel. There was an aura ut' mystery about everything. XVe trud,-:ed in. sat down. and awaited our fate. Several of the seniors ordered us to go up on the stage. Here began the Freshman initiation. What fun we had! The onion neeklaees hanging about the neeks of the frightened freshie females were hardly fragrant. but they tried to be good sports! NOVEMBER We had made most of the necessary adjustments by this time. Many of our classmates entered enthusiastically into the extra-eurrieula activities. JANUARY With our return to school rame worries of approaching exalus. We were paralyzed with fear. Vtlhat were high school exams like? They were not so bad.

Spring fever spread like a swamp tire among the Fresh- ies. ET939iQQQEEf OCTOBER VVe were really in the groove --the teaehers knew that we were no longer innocent new- comers.
