FRESHMAN COLLEGE CLASS

Page 30 text:

28 SILVER AND BLUE H :story It must be admitted that on Sep- tember 1927, when eight-five of us congregated around the lobby of the Administration building we were a motley looking crowd. The only point of similarity was our look oi green- ness . However, it took us but a few days to redeem our sophisticated air. The Sophomores bothered us but little, as we outnumbered them. You could usually find us mixed up in any excitement that was ever started- and we started most of it ourselves. Still we have survived exams, and various other pitfalls that the Profs. have persisted in digging for us. At our first meeting as an organ- ized class we elected Earl Taylor, Presidentg Anna Maude Smith, Vice Presidentg Ruby Blackwelder, Secre- tary and Treasurer. Early in November the college stu- dents had their first party. It was a general college party. The Freshman class was a whiz in athletics, winning second place in the basketball tournament, and loosing only one in a series of basketball games played with other class team. Glynn Driver and Ralph Manly re- presented the Freshmen on the scho-ol basketball team. The Freshman co-ed basketball team defeated the Sopho- more co-ed team. Elmer Harris and Glynn Driver represented the Fresh- man on the school baseball team. Mr. O, C. Skinner' taught a Sunday School class of twenty one Freshman. Mr. Skinner's class won the banner six. times. Each time that they wcn the banner Mr. Skinner entertznneu them in his home. The Freshman :Lass had SCi'U18.l musicians in its ranks. Tney were represented in the school orchestra by Charlotte Reynolds, pianog Agatha Hatchett, Isabel McCutcheon, V ir- ginia Kelly, Lucy Field and Amilee Chastain, violinsg Anna Maude Smith cellog and Gerald Kiem, cornet. They were represented in the school band by Gerald Kiem, cornetg and Chelcie Barker, saxophone. By the twenty-first of January the class had begun to appreciate itself so much, that it was decided to do something that no other class had ever attempted-to give a Leap- year prom party which proved a suc- cess. The McAdoo prize debate was held March the seventeenth. The Fresh- man won almost all the honorsg Hilda McLendon winning iirst place among the girls, and Lula Cook second place. Conley Ingram first place among the boys. A sophomore boy won second place. The Freshman class had their class picnic the thirtieth of March. They hiked to the Mount Berry School for Boys where they spent the day. They had several other parties and enter- tainments during the year. We have won our share of atten- tion from everyone. We also have observed the rules of the game and if the class continues as it has begun. there are wonderful prospects for us.
