Treasurer The Freshmen The Freshmen class of 275, referred to earlier in the year as the most reserved group since pre- war days, were initiated into the ways of college life with as busy week of orientation activities cluring the first week of the new school year. They went through the usual routine-mixer, picnic, free movie Cwith upperclassmen excluded this timej, pep rally, and other numerous get-acquainted affairs. I J ln a class meeting held Friday of that first hectic 'week, and after some brilliant- examples of campaign oratory for favored candidates, George Hanna, Boonville, was elected president with a close margin over Ellen Galatas of Fay- ette, who was given the reins of'vice-president by acclamation. Joan Bushmeyer, another local Freshman, was chosen as secretary, and Howard Poole, Benton, lll., was handed the job of han- dling the purse strings as class treasurer. At a later meeting, Dorothy Storer, Brunswick, and Don Deely, St. Louis, were elected to the important posts of Student Council and Student Body social committe representatives, respectively. Not to be outdone, or even overdone, by experienced upperclassmen in the Homecoming Eugene Adam parade, the Freshmen devised a cooking scene, or panorama, showing a caldron containing a Jewell football player and displaying such apt placards as Cardinal Fricassee, Jewell Burger and C-:oulash a la Cardinal. Class attendants to the Homecoming queen and king were Dot Storer and Jim McCredie, University City. This year's Freshman class' came to Central from several states, Illinois being represented with eleven students, New York with five, and Ten- nessee, California, Ohio, Nebraska, Michigan, and New Jersey each having one representative. The Freshmen were not long in getting acquainted with campus activities and organizations and by year's end a maiority of the class was engaged in the great task of bringing about bigger and better and more enioyable campus events. They might not have been the biggest, or the brainiest, or the brawniest, or even the noisiest Freshman class at Central, but they did contribute to making the year of T948-49 one of the best in Central's history. Most of, them looked forward to making their Sophomore year even more eventful. Patricia 'Ann Sprott I St. Louis Sdveffon ' ' Herbert Duncan Dexler Slcgle Ferguson Fayelle Page V26
