We were not the usual dumb crowd that they call “Freshies,” but, to the surprise of the school, we were a very brilliant class. When the first few days had passed, and we bad had time to collect our wits, we held our first class meeting, and elected the following officers: Vaudrene Hoose, president; Florence Church, vice-president ; and Marjorie Satterfield, secretary-treasurer. After some deliberation. we chose Mrs. Kollman as guardian angel for our first year. In that period the climax of our social prestige was reached in entertaining the entire high school with a masquerade party. There we carried out an interesting program by having various talented members of our class broadcast from our own private station. Congratulations were received from President Coolidge and many other notables dwelling in all parts of the world. Now three hundred and sixty-five days have passed and we are not the awkward class that we were at first. The class officers for this year are: Marian Watt, president; Eldon Houghton, vice-president; Edna Irish, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Coe, class advisor. As usual we gave the annual initiation for the Freshmen, to their great delight. Of course, we had to invite the lest of the high school and we showed everyone a good time at a wiener roast held near the historic Moore’s Mill. Although not of the same intellectual and cultured type as the Seniors, we, the Sophomores of A. C. H. S., for the years of 26 and 27. believe we are the most brilliant class in the school, surpassing everyone else in writing notes and giggling. Colors: Orchid and maize. F- M. C., ’29.

S. on the air again, broadcasting the history of the illustrious Freshman class. On a bright September morn Our Freshman class was born; With our knees a-shakin’ And our hearts a-quakin’. We were a bunch forlorn. After wandering around for sometime, we frightened little Freshies. whom everyone called green, gathered in the assembly hall and found our seats without the aid of even one Senior. Amid much confusion and excitement we settled down and elected our class officers. R. A. Scheer was chosen as advisor: Welby Frantz, president; Velma Foote, vice-president; and Pearle Gipson, secretary-treasurer. Near the end of September, we Freshies were subjected to an initiation by the high school. We were taken to Moore’s Mill, where we were served with sandwiches and marshmallows, and also given reducing exercises a-la-foot. A very jolly time was enjoyed by all who attended. The Freshman part in activities is to entertain the high school with a party in February. Our efforts at money-making have been rewarded through candy and sandwich sales. They have proven quite successful. Our class colors are red and gold and our class flower is the red rose. We little Freshies will remember. That when our departure is taken, We will meet in next September With again our knees a-shakin’. ANNOUNCER—VELMA FOOTE. ’30. Page twenty-five
