Frosh Get Messy Reception Do you remember the Freshmen on Initiation Day? What a sight! The boys, wearing pedal pushers, blouses, nylons, women's hats and shoes; and the girls, wearing huge overalls, men's shoes and shirts with a long tie, provided the en- tire student body with heaps of laughter. As slaves of the Senior Class the Freshmen did any errand asked of them by a Senior. The appearance of a Senior anywhere, anytime com- pelled the Freshies to kneel and recite a poem honoring that Senior. In an assembly held that afternoon approxi- mately ten Seniors and their assigned Freshmen performed stunts on the stage. The commissioner of Complaints. Joseph Ruiz, read complaints sub- mitted by the Seniors regarding misconduct of their slaves. B. H. S. students enjoyed hilarious moments as the Freshmen underwent their pen- alties. A dance, sponsored by the Senior Class, con- cluded the day's activities as the doors of Berna- lillo High opened to some 104 deserving Fresh- men.
