cfimbera on the bottom of the ladder of .4ucce.4.4 Through the portals of High Point School in September, 1948, passed a group of unfa- miliar faces. And High Point High School was unfamiliar to them, for these were the freshmen 177 in number. lt was the beginning ofa new life, new friends, new activities, and more advanced learningg it was the beginning of four years of high school days, which will long remain in the memories of each student. It didn't take these newcomers long to learn their way around, and the small size of their class didn't prevent them from entering into school activities wholeheartedly. First of all, a peppy campaign was staged to elect class ollicers. As in the other classes, skits and speeches were presented before actual voting was held. Those coming out on top were Frances Motsinger, president, Barry Ruth vice-presidentg Betty Lee Cox, secretary, and Norman Zimmerman, treasurer. Barbara Dil- lon and Colon llarlow were elected repre- sentatives to the upper house. Each home room contributed a member to the lower house- x -if Betty Lee Cox, secretary of the freshman class, and Norman Zimmerman, treasurer, agree that things are shaping up well. it Freshman ofiicers, Barry Ruth, vice-president, and Frances Nfotsinger, president, with the help of Mr. Lowder, adviser, have led their class through their first happy year in High Point High School. YVith a capable slate of ollicers and adviser, Mr. Jack Lowder, the freshmen got to work on their Hrst project, the magazine campaign. Turning into salesmen for two weeks, they went from door to door soliciting subscriptions tor the Curtis Publishing Company. At the end of the campaign, a radio was awarded to Nancy Cook for being the high salesman. Profits made by the class paid for their pictures in the PIQMICAN and also helped cover expenses for the annual Freshman-Sophomore prom. FI'CSllIIlt'H had an integral part in preparing for this traditional prom. Steering committees and working committees were appointed early in the second semester to formulate plans for the event. Students spent many hours gather- ing and making necessary .articles to complete the gala decorations. After being at H.P.II.S. for nine months, the freshmen felt they were a definite part of the school. XVith such a successful start, they looked to the coming years with anticipation.
