Freshman Notes Helen Nordstrom, President; Merle McKendry, Vice President; Donald Kerr, Seeretm'y-Treasurer a n d Mr. Findley, Sponsor. The Freshman class of 1914 began their high school career last September with forty members. Although this is not as large as enrolled in previous years, yet we believe that the quality compensates the lack of quantity. Of course the class met with many dis- couragements at hrst but they were deter- mined to conquer, and with courageous hearts met all the assults made upon them by those higher up in the scale of learning. From the beginning of their career as a high school class by their wonderful achievements and mod est, unassuming de- meanor, they have commanded the respect and admiration of the whole school. At the first class meeting Helen Nord- strom was elected President, Merle Mc- Kendry, Vice President and Donald Kerr, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Findley was tehosen sponsor.

We have had three roller skating parties, a picnic on the Platte. and u Hallo- we,en party at Mildred Burke,s home. Our class has a number of noted mem- bers, Clark GrieVe, the captain of the basket ball team, and Arthur Noelte, th basket ball star, are in our class. Harold Wilder, who was chosen as abll-state guard, is also a distinguished memberof our class. The Sophomore girls basket ball team came out second in the inter-eiass meet this year. They would have been first but they had ailittle bad hick and lost by a small margin. The Sophomore boys have a ver good chance to win out in the inter-elass base hall meet this year and we think they will. These and the rest of the Class of nine- teen-sixteen cannot attain a higher degree of success than is predicted for them. F .2 i ; L..Hw.w.;4mw.wwW5-... ; a ----:-T-a Pmmw.
