Freshman Year. A sight to behold! Into the High School on the 20th of September, 1909, marched over seventy fresmen. Frightened? Yes. But under the watchful care of the alumni and of the sympathizing juniors we succeeded in getting started and well established in our work. A class organization was perfected and the following officers chosen : President, Henry Jeldness; Vice President, Wallace Eakin ; Secretry, Minnie Xoe; Treasurer, Tong Sing; Sergeant-at-Arms, Carl Sanders; Editor, Emma Wootton. The colors chosen for the class were green and white. Second Term: President, Hugh Pendergast; Vice President, Emily Sanders; Secre¬ tary, Emma Wootton : Treasurer, Seth Hall; Sergeant-at-Arms, Sitton Lin- ville; Editor, Constance Fulton; Artist, Stella Fisher. During the second term two large green and white pennants were made, one for Mr. Blake ' s room and one for Mr. Williams ' . The one in Mr. Blake ' s room suddenly disappeared, to the freshmens ' regret, but the other was zealously guarded, being put up every morning and taken down in the evening, but dispite our efforts, through some mishap it too disappeared. On May 28th came the crowning event of the year, the Freshman picnic. Although it rained, the Freshmen with spirits never dampened, set out with lunches to enjoy the day. Some one suggested that they go to Flavel Hall. So there we went and had an enjoyable time. Sophmore Year.

' It was on Friday, February 10th, we bade farewell to the old High School building, and on the Monday morning following took up our abode in the splendid new one, resuming our studies without a hitch in the regular program. During this term the Adelphian society was organized, the Soph- mores constituting its charter members. At that time we were at a dis¬ advantage to the other socieies which were composed of all the classes, but by earnest efforts we soon reached their plane and have since maintained that position. The last event of the term was the annual picnic. Starting early one
