The first freshmen meeting was held October 13, 1909, in order that the officers for the coming year might be elected. There was a splendid assembly of Freshman present, and a rousing good meet¬ ing was held. The following officers were elected: President, Henry Jeldness; Vice President, Wallace Eakin; Secretary, Minnie Noe; Treasurer, Tong Sing; Sergeanh at Arms, Carl Sanders; Artist, Rudolph Kinkella; and Class Editor, Emma Wootton. A second meeting was held October 27, 1909. The meeting was called for the purpose of selecting class colours. The Freshmen again turned out in great numbers. The famous colours “green and white” were elected by the majority. The boys of the class formed an exellent football team, choosing Leroy Jones for Captain. The largest class that the Astoria High School has known, has great hopes that it may be the best. We mean to make it so. The Sophomores of spirits light, Higgle away from morn till night. But for sober lad and quiet lass, See the dignified Freshman class.

Laugh and the class laughs with you; Laugh and you laugh alone. The first when the joke is your teachers; The last when the joke is your own. Pa heard him give the High School veil.
