Class of Freshmen. Freshmen! They seemed to be everywhere the + first day of school; they cluttered up the halls; got in the way of the upperclassmen, and were in general unnecessary. However, when the final check was made, the class was found to be less than half the usual number. Deciding they needed some assistance, they chose Miss Bur-meister and Mr. Rebbe to guide them in the way that all Freshmen should go. Charles Kirk, Betty Conner, and Mabel Mc-Nelly ably assisted the sponsors, and before long they succeeded in dispelling that timorous feeling in the presence of the upperclassmen and Faculty. They worked and strove until they could manage very well to keep out of the way of the upperclassmen, who were planning to initiate them. Some of the boys whe were not so clever suffered. but not the usual torture that goes with the entering of high school. The poor Green Caps” proved they had enough spunk and soon were able to master the Latin language, with little difficulty. In the kitchen you are sure to find some of the Future Housewives of America who were trained in old Chester High School. Incessant labor is slowly bringing success to the members of the class. In the near future we are sure to hear of some members of this loyal crowd shining in the field of athletics. They will win fame and glory that will bring renown to all Chester High. The Freshmen were not spending all their time in study. During tne first semester they went to Brown’s Pond for a weiner roast. The next semester on Washington's birthday a grand party was given in the high school assembly. Some of the Freshmen were honored by being asked to join the Dramatic Club. Others joined the Home Economics Clubs, and some of the future Opera Stars joined the Glee Club. inis year’s Freshman Class is the first ' fV e school’s history to take Physical Education. The boys go in for heavy sports as 4. ’35 Basket Ball. Foot Ball. Boxing and Wresling, while the girls are doing calisthenics and dancing, and with it becoming more graceful. Very recently a Girl’s Athletic Association has been formed to which everyone. Freshmen and upperclassmen, wanted to belong. It will have a tendency to make them a little more active. The walls resound with the lusty cheer for the Freshmen, the “Green Caps. Next year the Freshmen will be welcomed with a cheer and a shout, let’s hope, and not with a disdainful look. So three cheers for the future heroes and heroines of. Chester High School. The Freshmen of 1931. Upper Picture First Row—Arcell Depew. Mable McNelly. Doris June Mounts. Maud Manwaring.
