FRESHMAN CLASS On August 28, 1944, there were twenty freshmen, some scared, some shy, and all green, but not for long. Initiation day was a great event. There were some awfully pretty girls Cpalnted boys? but the girls felt com- fortable because most of them liked to wear overalls anyway. The party in the evening was a real treat for everyone ex- cept Nedra Day and Marcia Downes who d1dn't like milk. At the first meeting, the freshman class elected the following officers: Pres., Lee Maxwell, Vice-Pres., Ada Shaferg Sec. and Treas., Carlta Martin, Student Council, Arthur Olson, Faculty Adviser, Mr. Henry. Class dues were set at twenty cents. The first party was held in the gymnasium with a pot- luck supper. Everyone enjoyed himself immensely. Three of the freshmen, Ada Shafer, Lavon Vestal and Eddie Llpes have moved. We surely hated to see them go, be- cause only seventeen are left. There are two boys in chorus and all of the seven girls seem to be musical. At least they show up for chorus prac- tice. There are three freshman students in band. Pep is not lacking in this year's class for at the be- ginning of the year there were two boys out for baseball, five out for basketball and five interested in track. In one game of basketball Pete Boyd made seventeen baskets,-all that were scored but two. The class is going full speed ahead to next year and thinking of 1948 especially.
