They were all eligible to fill the respective rows of hopeful Freshmen. The rooms were so small, they were so big, and every eye was set upon them as it has upon those who had preceded them for years. Having their ambitions so closely watched somewhat ruffled them, but they soon became accustomed to the mad rush and settled down like old timers. With Miss Orvick as their sponsor the organized class, aided by the fac- ulty, has gained an enviable reputation. The Freshmen boys won two foot- ball games from the Junior High boys, and therefore the class was enjoy- ably entertained by the losers on November 13. The class has also been well represented in basketball for both the boys and girls won over the Junior High, meaning that they deserve a party. They are looking forward with anticipation to a royal, well earned reception as a result of their superiority. In another way they did not differ from former Freshmen. They too, were subject to initiation. This memorable event took place Oct. 23, when the N. B. Club celebrated their annual initiation of new members and the recep- tion committee would not allow them to enter the place of entertainment unless with something green. Though unexpected, they survived the ordeal, and from then on considered the upper classmen very tame. The class demonstrated their dramatic ability in the High School Carnival held November 25. Their part in the side shows was a pantomime, “Gertrude the Governess”, a dialogue “Romeo and Juliet,” and a Goop Act. In another side show “Those Husbands of Ours” the Freshmen netted more than any other class did in side shows. Their income was over twenty-five dollars on that show alone, which is indeed worthy of mention. The Freshman class matched their mental capacity with other picked members of the high school and the district, at Havre Saturday, April 3. They found they rated no lower than the upper classmen. Helen Mills went as a representative, from the class in English I and General Science, while Emma Pokorny was sent for Algebra and General Science. Helen Mills scored second in English I in the district with a grade far above the contestant who

THE CENTENNIAL scholarship race. The new officers, who were elected for the entire term were: President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Sponsor Emma Ruhe Wesley Kimble Ruth Ensley Eleanor Hetland Miss Weston Our knowledge along the line of social activities had greatly expanded so we entertained the high school at a party, which was a roaring success; to say nothing of the enjoyable evening spent around the camp fire with the frosh as oufr guests. Various members of our class took part in Athletics, glee club, declamation, and some have partaken of the pleasures of exemp- tion. We, as sophomores, do not say farewell to our classmates, but—“Till we meet again”, as juniors.

THE CENTENNIAL placed third, and took second in General Science. Adella Ophus took Algebra and English I and took first in English I. Many of the boys of the class have taken the agricultural course. Of these Nick Haburchak and Glenn Hansen were sent to Bozeman on the stock judging team and helped the school place tenth in that line. John Moe epresented the Agricultural Club at Bozeman. Some of the pupils of the Frosh class have developed their voices by taking Glee Club. The Boys' Glee Club has the following Freshman members: Alex Dorchak, Nick Haburchak, Rolland Tesh, Henry Bitz, Frank Pokorny, and Leon Watson. Emma Pokorny, Mary Haburchak and Helen Tingley take Girl’s Glee Club. John Moe, Albie Larson, Glenn Hansen, Raymond Mack, Harold Jenkins, John Schacker, Frank Pokorny, Nick Haburchak and Rolland Tesh took part in basketball. The Freshman girls’ team consisted of Phoebe Black, Genevieve Bierly, Helen Mills, Emma Pokorny, Margaret Miner and Adella Ophus. Emma Pokorny, Myme Hanson, and Adella Ohpus are attempting dec- lamation. The above instances go to prove that their class can boast of both men- tal and physical talent. For various reasons Gordon Tyler, Gottliek Schacker, Harry Henderson and Anna Boehmer withdrew during the year.
