Versa Watt, Frank Weddington, Adrian Williams, Dorothy History of the Freshman Class Hats off! The Freshmen come this way! Eager, joyous, grave and gay, Replete with learning—and with gum— Full thirty strong—the Freshmen come! Heads up! With ease their shoulders square, The weighty brains above them hear! And see! from every glistening eye The sparks of wisdom fairly fly! Oh Hall of Fame—fling wide thy door— For in, pell-mell—the Freshmen pour! On the opening day of school, September 5. 1922, we came—we saw—we conquered. Some of the dignified upper classmen tried to roast us, hut soon learned that we were different from anv breshman class that had gone before; we were capable of giving as good as was sent, so the roasting was soon discontinued. Aftei much debating as to which subjects required the most study, we settled down to. work, each Freshman without one exception choosing the most difficult subjects. 1 lie first class event of importance was the organization. 1 he officers elected were: I Iarry Gipson--------------------------------------President Marjorie Crandali----------------------------1 ice-President Colene Hoose Secretary and Treasurer Mr. Schf.ER Class Adviser 'I'he wiener roast held at Morphus Hill in the latter part of October, and a coasting party at the same place in January were two class events much enjoyed. In athletics the only stars on the basketball teams were Freshmen. Watch them in the next three years. With Mr. Scheer as our captain and guide, To the rest of the world we now confide That after four years of strife and training. With a little loss and a little gaining, We’ll leave behind the famous story Of how we came through under banner of glory. Shirley Colene Hoose, ’26. Page 25

Time with his merciless sickle, reaps his just rewards. In a lew short hours the high school days of the class of ’23 will lie but a memory. And what a memory! 1 voice the opinion of each individual member of the class when 1 say. “My days in the classrooms of old A. C. 11. S. have been some of the happiest of my life.” First, as is befitting, we wish to thank the faculty for their much-tried patience in correcting our many faults and piloting us through our manifold mistakes. I lad it not been for their unceasing interest in our activities, our high school days would have without doubt ended in failure. We are indebted to them for our school pleasures, for our athletic pastimes, for our roused ambitions and for the knowledge which has succeeded in remaining with us. It has been said that Preparation is but the keyword to Success.” If that be true, think, friends, for how much we are indebted to our teachers who have so tried to prepare us for our success in tnc world. Perhaps none of us will ever he truly great as greatness goes, hut “Order is Heaven's first law; and this confessed, Sonic are, and must be, greater than the rest. Our hope is that whenever our faculty recalls the Class of 23. their memories of us will he as pleasant as our memories of them. Page 27
