FRESHMEN ri! 52? I i i P5 -E --A Y- Class History What is the bid for this strong freshie? Guaranteed to be the most unwilling slave on the market! What? Only five cigarettes? Gentlemen! You belittle your intelligence when you bid only five paltry cigarettes. lVIake it ten! Going, Going- Gone! Sold for twelve cigarettes and one cigar butt. Oh boy! What a Welcome those Freshies got. After being an exalted Senior in a High School or Prep, to be forced to wear green ties which looked as though the manufacturer was short of material, to use the back door fthe only time the front steps were used was to push Abraham Lincoln on a penny with their noses across the front of them just to see which Freshie had the most pushing abilityj, to run the gauntlet, be given close shaves by the Sophs, to always keep a respectful attitude towards the Sophs and Juniors, all this was part of our welcome just to show that we knew some fellows had joined us for the first time. BUT, believe us fthe Sophsj, we knew something had happened when on the Fresh-Soph Field Day the banner was forcibly extracted from our capable CPD possession and we suddenly and not quite willingly were invited to partake in the cold, muddy water of the Fenway at the end of a non- descript rope. - Such is the history of the friendly welcome of our Freshies, who before a very long time showed us that they were a coming factor at C.B.A. In the Endowment Fund Drive the Freshmen, although not having been at B.U. as long as the upper classmen, had already acquired the much-desired University spirit and helped mate- rially to make the fine showing of 9Q.8Wp subscribed. If this is an example of what their spirit is to be in future years, C.B.A. cannot help but make progress during the time these Freshmen are in the college. During the week of February 20 the Freshmen held their first election of officers. This late date of election was the result of an agreement at the first of the year to put off the election until all Freshmen had become better acquainted with each other and would therefore be more liable to elect more efficient leaders. The results were as follows: STERLING GREEN, Pravizlent FRED HANNON, Vice-Presidrnf PAULINE SAWYER, Secretary DONALD H. WHITE, Treasurer Executive Committee CHESTER HACKER ALBERT RICHARDS STANLEY H1R'm,E ELEANOR SYMONDS ' GEORGE FELDMAN 87
