Hammer President Secretary-Treasurer At least we can say for the Freshmen that they are game losers, fgaspl, and even if they frequently do come out second-best, it usually isn't their fault. They have won no debates, yet there are no more enthusiastic debaters than they, they don't shine athletically either, fWhich one of the gentlemen present said, Trackmeet, in a still small voice?D, but that doesn't seem to affect the gym attendance. ln fact the Freshman Class appears to be almost entirely composed of the durable sort of personality that doesn't know when it's beaten, and consequently never is. No inferiority complexes, Cwitness the class motto, Leaders of Tomorrow, and the pride they take in it! They really believe in it and it may be truel, and no pessi- mism. Odds have absolutely no effect on freshmeng they eat odds every morning with coffee and rolls to give them that pleasant feeling. Perhaps they're absorbing determination from Mr. Seney. He has plenty to spare. lt makes them about as apprehensive and diflident as the honorable Wilhelm before the war. The freshman banquet was something to be proud of. It was held in the Y cafeteria, fno casualtiesl. Everyone had a chance to talk about some- thing, fanythingl, and a pleasant time was had by all, as the historian Suetonius phrases it in his dramatic portrayal of the death of Nero. Mr. Seney and our principal, Mr. Wing, were present, and a speaker from the University of Chicago addressed the members. Songs were chosen and duly executed, fuexecutedn is good. No offensej, and the class spirit figuratively danced a jig on the graves of former reverses. The freshman colors are officially maroon and white. To get the best effect when wearing them a textbook in some suitable shade should be tucked under the left arm. The effect is quite fascinating, especially to the faculty. Speaking of fashions, trousers are growing so voluminous that there is really no need to sweep the floor any more. We are hoping against hope that no one happens to think of hoop-trousers.

Irving Goux 1, President Secretary if fl Sweeping before us all records of previous freshman classes, we the Fresh- fi man Class of '28, envious of the former classes, have set a precedent for jg X future freshmen to surpass. f' . . . . . . . . . .. Our participation in class activities and our determination that the Fresh- X man Spirit should not be thwarted was particularly noticed by our attendance iQ at the lnter Class Mixer. The stamp of a good mixer was placed on every Freshman who attended, although the affair was a new thing to us. The junior Prom, also, was well attended by us and it has been stated that ' the rollicking Freshmen helped add zest and color to the unforgetable prom. l If all other activities had not come up to standard, our defeating the Seniors in the inter-class basketball series and taking the championship of the School, ,X would alone have made the Freshmen an indispensable class in every sense of the word. The Lincoln Club also has shared in our activities. Debating seemed to hold the class in its grasp all through the year and Freshmen were sprinkled among 43 the winners of the numerous debates. QQ We, the Freshmen of '28, are out and going strong, sweeping all before us, conquering, making new records, and setting precedents. Therefore, let us live long in the minds of all the students, instructors, and future members ,' of the Central Preparatory School. 1! Keep us at your finger tips, watch us, when in need call on us and WE WILL BE THERE! I2 DANIEL A. N. PATTARSON lg President First Semester.
