The girls have contributed a number of good Voices to the Girls' Chorus and the Boys' Glee Club which is very small is composed wholly of Freshmen with the exception of one. ' The A-Freshmen entertained the Freshmen at a Colonial Party on the night of February 11th, in the Domestic Science building. This affair has proven the ability of the A-Freshmen in entertaining. The ofiicers elected for the second semester were: ' A President-David Moore. Vice-President-Alfred Johnson. Sec1'etary and Treasurer-Alice Graham. The party given by the Freshman class to the now B-Sophomores, was a great success. This affair was held in the High School Auditorium, on the night of April 15th. After a few brainless exhibitions in every class, the Freshmen are dis- playing some real brainy work. All are expecting to occupy the seats to be vacated by the Sophomores.

Excuse us for our rude speech, humble ways and butt-in attitudes. P. S.-You having absorbed most everything pertaining to knowledge, do not stop to consider the Freshies in the least. Some day you may repent for treating the poor, down-trodden little Freshies in such a sophisticated manner. DAVID MOORE, '19, l63l
