The Freshman Class has a membership of forty-one, which mekos twenty romances ana one left. over. To Whom It May Concern; We, the Freshmen, speak out for the last time as the Freshman Class. We have been a pretty swell Freshman Class, if we do say it ourselves, apd we serve notice that we are going to keep on sticking to¬ gether. For instance, the Freshman Class stands up for Harvey Pointer. If he wants to sit at the same table with Frances Muse every study hall, he does it for reasons of his own. It’s not because he is a Freshman. It ' s his own idea, but we stand up for him. We stand up for Hughie Dis- chinger, too. If he has changed so suddenly from one girl to another, he thinks that s his own idea too. But we know the new girl had the idea first. Also we stand behind Herbert Farinholt. Maybe he is as crazy about Carey Lawson as he makes cut. But maybe he ' s trying to get somebody else’s goat, too. Billy Nuttall is not as bashful as he used to be. The Freshman class says, So What?” He has a right not to be bash¬ ful. Besides, what can anybody do when the love bug bites them? And the Freshman Class stands up for Eugene Nuttall. We intend to tease him outselves, but to all others we defend his right to get sentimental. -The Freshmen.
