HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS OF '38 by John A. Ritter , 4 When registration day rolled around last fall, 'fifty- six freshmen showed up with lard on their hair and clean ears. After hearing a lot of sarcastic talk from silly sophomores abcut ngreen freshmen, still wet behind the ears' we settled down to work, and we worked. We lost several members but those left made up for them. The first feather in the 'freshies'N nap was when they 1 1 1 all got together and got one of their number, Mary Barnard, elected queen of the scLool carnival. Also mentionable is the fact that a lot of the' school band and glee clhbbare freshmen. Most famous of freshmen is George Gee, a speck of laughing powder, who has us all tied up in knots with his intellectual piece. CGeorge and Delores Hancock are our cheer leaders.l ' We have lost several members, but we have gained a few also and, although we miss those that are gone, we are so busy winning new honors that we have no time for mourning. So three cheers for the Freshman class of nineteen thirty-eight, and may the next class of ngreen freshies' carry on as we have done.
