At our first meeting we elected the following officers: president, Loren Barr; vice president, Marion Jones; secretary, Harry Lee Perkins; treasurer, Irene Engel; reporter. Daniel Seligman; and Student Counicl Member, James Austin. At our initiation we were paired off in couples and marched up to the stage where we had ribbons tied on us and then we were marched back. After that a watermelon festival was held. A few weeks later the freshmen had a weiner roast at Indian Point which was enjoyed by everyone. In October we held a Hallowe’en party and invited the sophomores. There are fifty-two students left this year and we all hope to finish our journey together. Twelve
