Jfreslmtau (Class Histnnj On the very warm and pellucid morning of September 5th, 35 bewildered but gallant pupils entered their first glamorous year of high school. We marched bashfully with chins up, feet sounding like a thundering herd, into the unfamiliar and honorable assembly to the monotonous uproar of constant booing. The upperclassmens’ theme song, it seemed, was “Yes. We Have Some Razzberries”, of which they intended to give us plenty. After m a n y weeks of watch ful-ness, blundering a n d embarrassing moments, we collected our scattered but not forgotten smart wits and elected Billy Thompson, small but brainy, president; Clara Duffield. vice-president ; Jeanne Knecht, secretary and treasurer; and Mr. Price, most sympathetic, class advisor. For a most novel and stupendous float in the Homecoming parade, we received second prize. The' lloat represented a crib, cradle, or what have you, decorated in green and white, full of babies. The babies were our own cute Freshmen, drinking from bottles, wearing small bonnets and shrieking with full lung power. What a picture for the judges! Sunlight streaming into our sticky little faces and those adorable bonnets perked upon our heads. Did we look angelic! We have indeed surpassed any class of the |iast or future. We are represented in basketball, baseball, track, girls’ glee club, boys’ glee club, public speaking, band, orchestra and ninth hour. The ninth hour honor was achieved only after days and days of imitating the upperclassmen a n d their “cunning little tricks”. We rate 100 per cent in chewing gum. fighting, arguing and booing the upperclassmen. We found out after much speculation. concentration and observation that the teachers respect studious and small-mouthed pupils but which they never get. If anyone wishes to boo the Freshman class, let him do it now or else remain silent forever! (so give us peace). J. K.. ’37.
