 C. L.. H. S. ECHO FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY. The September of 1915 found a number of stray bees flying around in all directions with no destination in view. They swarmed at the Clear Lake School and formed a class of green Freshmen. The first few days at school were days that we will all remember—getting acquainted with our neighbors and distinguishing one from another, not necessarily by names, but by appearance such as length and thickness. We were a class of twenty-six at first, and we are now diminished to eighteen, althoueh we are still the largest class and have both quantity and quality. Initiation was something we green Freshies knew nothing about, but it is surely something to be remembered by now. We voted for our class colors and at last decided upon the Orange and Black. The other classes did not like our colors very well, but what they signify to us means more than their appearance to others. We elected our class officers bv acclamation, some saving: “I’m in favor of that,” “I’m not,” “No, sir,” “Ya,” and “No, sir ree.” Soon plans were made for a party to be held at the school house. Evidently a little bird told the other classes, because we could tell by the groups in the hallway and by whisperings overheard that they knew something of it. This changed our plans and by a kind invitation our party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Cronk. An enjoyable evening was spent playing games after which supper was served. Thus fall changed to winter with its pleasures of skating, sleighride parties and basket ball. Each week brought something new for us all, and all too soon had the first semester passed away. The second semester with a change of weather as well as studies, and now we are looking forward to vacation. This year has passed all too soon for us. We know we were green but we are glad to say that we are now somewhat polished and not such an attraction as we were at first, and still we would rather be green and growing than mere driftwood. We have stepped over one of the four stepping stones and are one year nearer Commencement Day; the day that means so much to every one. So ends our career as Freshmen. Next year we intend to be Sophomores, but in memories green Freshmen. E. G 1916. Freshman Class Roll.
