FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The opening of the school yeer 1937-36 will linger forever »n the Binds of the forty-seven Freshmen who entered Breckenridge High School for the first time. Precticelly two-thirds ofthe stu- dents ceme in from different rurel districts. In less than two weeks most of them had become adapted to their new environments. New friendships were made and all were becoming interested in the activities of the school. The first class election was held October 10th in the home room under the supervision of Mr. Wood, the class advisor. Rich- ard Hook was elected president; Melba Oakes, vice-president; Mar- jorie OiIlia.secretary; Thomas Roth,treasurer; and Fannie Stewart student council representative. It has been customary in the past years to initiate the Freshmen by having a flag rush, but this year it wo changed to a tug of war. This event was held September 29th in honor of the Breckonridge Homecoming. The Freshmen succeeded in pulling the Sophomores through the stream of water and therefore gave them a good shower bath. Two students, Betty Amon and Allen Lewis left our ranks dur- ing the first semester and at the beginning of the second sem- ester Robert Vine Joined us. llsny of the Freshmen pertioipeted in the F.F.A. Fair by put- ting ur exhibits of which several proved to be prize winners. With such a good beginning we look forward to a successful ending three years from now in good old B.H.S. -—Marjorie 01111s IN ARCADY This year the Glee Club revived the custom of presenting an operetta in the spring of the year to display the talents of the music deportment and to provide the only musical entertainment on the school calendar. In Arcady was selected for presentation and it proved to be e delightful comedy of a scientific farmer. Leading roles were sung by Louise Kuse and Richard Hook,supported by Kenneth Barton, Dorotha Darling,Malcolm Hilliard, Lois Lockhart, Richard Stewart, Carleton Kline, Lee Halstead, and Gerald Allen. The chorus was composed of Boys and Girls Glee Club members. Adding to the effectiveness of the story ws a complete set of scenery developed under the direction of Miss Ross and Mr. Swank. Our new amplification system was purchased Just in time to have its initial trial at this entertainment, and a vast im- provement was noted. B 16
