i V t t £ Lloyd Carroll Jane Hunter Ross Cat on Veldon Dillon Rex Harpster Pulton Castleberry Lester Kalstrom THE FRESHMEN New schedules, locker numbers and instructions on what not ft) do greeted the Freshmen on our first day at Carter High. After giving us time to get organized the sophomores turned our cozy little world upside down with initiation in September. We were beginning to wonder if even high school was worth the long-legged underwear, the bathing suits and the overshoes, slippers, hats, etc. That night at the dance the sophs gave in our honor we decided it was. Norman Lambert Jack Lovec By now we had organized our class with Miss Scheid as sponsor, Pat Townsend, president; Georgia Riley, vice- president; and Fulton Castleberry, secretary-treasurer. As the football season drew to a close, we found that Danny Parrish had lettered. Fulton Castleberry brought us honor later in the year by winning the all-school ping-pong tourna ment. On October 22, the annual homecoming took place. To represent the Freshman class at homecoming we chose Lorene Anderson as queen candidate. This was the day we won the footfall game with Baker. Perhaps this was what convinced Bakerite Jack Lovec to join us. Then, on the cold, blustery night of January 10, we took our lives in our hands and ventured forth to Chapman’s dam for an ice-skating party. We divided our time about evenly between the ice and the rubber tire fire we built to offset the chill gales. All too soon, however, came the Soph’s chance to crack the whip again. This time we were “old master painters” with buckets and brushes. Whitewashing the “C” was fun though and there was always the consolation that soon we would be putting next year’s Freshmen through their paces. -----21
