FRESHMEN HISTORY NR beautiful September morning. ns Mr. Nelson. the Janitor, was sweeping out tho tow or hall, ho hoard a quror sound in hla dual-pan, n sound that resembled tho braying of infant donkeys. With cautious footstep ho approached tho dtis'.-pan. lifted It up. and wonderful to relate, saw the oddest looking creatures scurrying to and fro over the dust pan that he had over before set eye on. At length, a piping little voice cried out: Please. Mister. »e canto to to the High School from the eighth grade, we were looking after Mr Dietrich when you swept us Into your dust-pan. Whereupon, the Janitor carried his sweepings Into the oflic - and deposited them on Mr Dietrich desk Mr Dietrich at once recognized them as members of the Fresh-men class, and with the aid of Miss Case's microscope soon sopsrated the tired little beings front the particle of dust This task having teen completed, the creatures were placed in U»lr respective colls, t amely. Rooms II and 1.1 Many were the trials which these people endured during the first few weeks of their high school life. The Janitor was obliged to rift the- -lust which he swept up. for fear that some of the Freshmen might be- unintentionally destroyed. The Sophomores took great delight In tramping on these children, but the Seniors. (tc-nder-hc-nrt -d souls : i picked their way carefully thru the halls and not ono Freshman did they trample under foot. Finally, afier the half year exam , the Frcables' head grew so large ihat their todies expanded In proportion, until at the present writing they are fait grown, and hots' some day to fill the.r vacuum skulls with that dope which tho faculty calls learning.''

ATHLETICS iTHLETICS in A. H. S. are fast reaching a point at which they may be looked upon with pride, not alone because of the victories which our team has brought to us. but also because of the standard held up for clean athletics. The seasons of 08 and 09 have, indeed, been a success. May the seasons which follow be as prosperous with their wider range of athletics. The Athletic Association has done much to encourage athletics in the way of improvements and also of giving letters' to participants in contests. Many other things point our way. and some have already made their appearance; for example, new athletic grounds, dressing room, shower bath, hurdles and jumping standards, the last two having been turned out by the Manual Training Department. May we show our appreciation of these things by working in the interests of A. H. S. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS STUDENT COUNCIL l'r l ! nt ..................................................
