FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY XVe started the year under full sail with the lucky number of Twenty-two. Nineteen still re- main-quite good for a first year record. life missed the pleasure of hazing this year fnot saying that we felt badj aside from being accused of and tried for such dangerous maladies as greenness, dippiness, etc., etc., etc. But we are willing to match our Working order against theirs. Did it bother us? Oh no! Green pas- tures are a relief beside the dull salt chalk atmos- phere that smothers their senses. The officers this year were: Russell E. Flaish- ans, president: Mary E. Alter, vice president: Elsie M. Bardo, secretary: Leonard H. Dagger- Maude Herrold, treasurerg Hon. Arnold Cong- don, deputy. Wie were unfortunate in losing one of our olii- cers before the year was Hnished. NVe have secured our pennant in the Freshman year-somewhat a progressive event. As to being the best class in the ring we are tired of comparing virtues and faults. just calcu- late upon a few big points, like a wise man. For instance we are veryt?j studious-anyway we demolished a few books-and naturally we know how to have as much fun as anyone, and-there is no room for any more. The upper class men have an angelic manner of smiling at pranks fthey never played anyj but who ever saw a hopeless bachelor who would not smile at a married man just because he could not be married too? Seriously, however, on the whole we have had a good, enjoyable year for both fun and study. But of course next year will be better, because- ' If sheep will bleat, If grand aunts will scowl. lf jilted prancl dads will fume: If pigs will eat. lf pups vrill howl, XfVl1y won't B. H. S. boom? THE F RESHMAN CLASS FRESHMAN RECEPTION. The third annual reception given to the Fresh- man class was held Sept. 18. 1914, by the three senior classes of Bristol High School. This reception was the first annual entertainment given by the Bristol High School which seemed to prove very satisfactory in gaining the acquaint- anceship of all the classes. The time was especially exciting to see some of those Fresh- men rush over on the Senior side of the room to hunt their partners, while others were too bash- ful and remained in their seats. After this ex- citementnwas overcome, refreshments were served which seemed to be greatly enjoyed by all. a RESPONSE A return reception was given by the Freslnnani Class on March 31, 1915, in response to the one given them on Sept. 18, 1914. Ice cream and cookies were indulged in and greatly enjoyed by the pupils who found their partners by the use of slips of paper given them by the Freshman boys. This reception was a decided compliment to the talent and judgment of the Freshies who have shown themselves to be a prospective class in supporting the different high school functions. This reception was no exception to the other good entertainments that have been given by this class. l l V- l l - k l
