W e found our way to the assembly, and took seats, stretching our necks, admiring the upper classmen as they passed. The Freshman initiation took place about a month after school began, when we were obliged to gather wood for the football rally bonfire and the burning of the dummy representing Morgan. After the rally, we Freshmen, were lined up west of the high school and there were forced to eat noodles in castor oil, which was not flavored with peppermint either. A chemical, concocted by the learned Seniors, that smelled like a decomposed egg. also aided in the entertainment, until Mr. Luhr, who was initiated with the Freshmen, broke the container. W'e took all this without a murmur, and those who survived the ordeal went to the show afterwards. The upper classmen soon began to notice us because of our achievements as well as our blunders, for the Seniors gave a party in our honor, where the hoys of our class distinguished themselves by cracker-eating contests, and rolling peanuts across the floor with their noses. The most memorable party in the spring was a delightful time on a hayrack ride to the river. W'e put up our pennant, hut it was no sooner up than it disappeared, per- manently. The greenness soon wore entirely off. and we felt ourselves capable of undertaking a minstrel show at the theater. W'e are gradually climbing to the world of fame, and it can he said truly that “Every day in every way we are getting better and better.
