This year, the Freshman Class entering 1954, 9 graduating 1958, has been among the most success- ful in the history of the school. The class was com- posed for the most part of new entrants, with some of the jimmy Class of 1954, carrying over, as Cord, COE, Clan P erfdenz G. Spencer, Raymond, Smith, Burke and Coe. Athletically, the class showed the rest of the student body a fine example of spirit as well as athletic ability. Smith, who played on the Varsity soccer eleven, and Granger, who was the second football squad's scatback, and on the basketball court as a BH guard, were typical of the athletic material of the class. Among the ranks were Morse, who played football and basketball, Moulin who starred on the cage court, and Cord who filled a B guard spot in basketball. This year the Freshmen were housed in the School House under the monitorship of George Ellis, Marc de Tristan and Pete Rohrs, where they were all together in one group. Academically, Terbell, Coe, Spencer, Koepfli, led the class, while .in general, a good scholastic average was maintained by the complete group throughout the year. In the several school activities of extracurricular nature, the class was well represented. Several of the Freshmen san in the Glee Club and Choir, artici atin in the divers 8 P P 8 performances which that group gave during the year. The Dramatics Club saw some Freshman enthusiasm, notably in the person of Smith, who played the role of Cassius in the Winter Term production of Julius Caeser. Along with this contribution, was the participation of several of the ninth graders in the mak- ing of the school paper, El Batidor. Coe was the principal member of the Batidor staff, as a cartoonist. Coe was also the class president, the first Freshman to participate under the new plan of school government. Generally, the class was very successful in its first year in the upper school, and on the basis of the performance of the past year, will be looked to as the leading class in the near future.

Left down: Blair, Bigelow, Poulson, Pauls. Right down: Jaeger, Colefax, Bushnell, Hanna. The Jimmie Class entering in 1954 follows in the well-worn footsteps of many preceding classes in bearing the brunt of the hum-drum daily tasks that enter into the daily school routine. The thousand and one odd jobs that go into running the school fall, to a large extent, to this group of nine plus one day student. A Jimmie does have some- what of a hard life, but life is not always so dull, and one need do more than stick his head inside the dormitory and hear the miscellaneous noises proceeding from there to know that this is true. Though oppressed in many respects, the eighth grade has equal class representation in the school government, and Peter Poulson is its representative. Others in the class, such as Clyde Blair, Alan Buhnell and others could be seen doing their share on the soccer field in the fall, and Judd Hanna showed possibilities on the basketball court during the winter term. One of the jobs that invariably falls to the jimmies is the setting up of the chairs in the McIntosh Room for the various activities that take place there. Neither is it un- usal to pass one of this notorious group staggering up from the barns laden with fire wood, brought in punishment for some one of a hundred offenses. The eighth grade, because of its limited size cannot be expected to show full development in one year. This year's class will form the nucleus for a much larger Freshman Class next year, and it is good to see a group with school spirit and initiative on the way up after its first and most difficult step in its life here at school. Next year, with new additions, a strong class will be on its way to the future. POULSON, C lan Pferidenl 'ur If
