THE FRESHNIEN On September 2, 1946. twenty-two pupils entered the little house of learning, and irxunediately acquired the title of Green Freshmen. They all looked frightened and very queer to us at first, but after a couple of weeks they be- came acquainted with everyone and it seemed as though they had always been in Black Earth ?oh School. On Friday the 13th of September, the little green Fresh- men were initiated by the Sophomores. They came into the assembly on their knees. The boys came as girls wearing their mothers dresses and stockings. They wore overshoes, had a scarf tied around their heads and wore make -up. Everyone seemed to think that they made better girls than boys. The girls wore gunny sacks a'nd straw hats, and wore no make-up. This gave everyone a chance to see how the girls look when they get up in the morning. Wow: .' This sure is a small world. That night the sophomores gave the freshmen a party. Almost everyone attended. One member of the class, Florian Handel, dropped out of school. leaving a total of twenty-one students, seventeen of the twenty-one boys and girls are in the chorus. One member is in the beginners band. Three boys took part in football , six went out for basketball, and four members participater' in forensics.
