680 4 10 FRESHMAN INITIATION Redhots, icewater, cat brains, pepper, pipes, and gobs of lip- stick all added together make up Freshman Initiation Day, l9L9. By a quarter of nine the halls of old B.H.S. were filled with--well, they called themselves Freshmeng however, all agreed they were freaks of some type. T The boys, decked out in dresses and lavishly madeug,had evidently tried to imitate the female members of their families, however, the effect in most instances was far from pleasing. The fair lasses of the Freshman Class seemed to have lost some of their daintiness as they clomped around in their father's shoes. On closer observation, I noticed they had their overalls and shirts on backwards. They carried pipes that reeked of musty tobacco. ' During that hectic day, they were busy carrying books, saluting and feeding the Sophomores redhots--made several degrees hotter by the addition of red pepper, Qgood idea, don't you think?l Im edlately after four o'clock, the Freshmen were shooed from the building, while the Sophomores readied the gymnasium for the nights activities, About 7 p.m. sixteen very frightened Freshmen werq allowed to enter the halls of old B.H.S. They were shoved into than English room. After waiting for what seemed an eternity, they were led one by one into the hall. Here their eyes were blindfolded, and their shoes removed. They were then led over a desert, fcindersl, and forced to jump from a cliff into the Arctic Ocean, Ctub of ice waterl. The torture finally ended after a generous feeding of castor oil and cat brains. Later games were played and refreshmentsserved. By ten p.m. happy memories and full stomachs were about all that remained of this eventful day. Sixteen Freshmen left the party now full members of the nCat Tribe of Bethel High School.n 63--It-iE'4i--II-it ,. ..,.. .-- V n 5 3 A, awk: rs Ini t 1 a t i on .:.,, ,xr N W if V nngon mm Na G-yrlsq 4? bbs.
