After two months ot much discussion, a constitution was drawn up and the class was finally organized. A merry battle ensued for the positions of officers of the class. The following were the successful candidates: XfVilliam Herbstritt, presidentg Corinne Forrest, vice-presidentg Grace Iversen, treasurerg Thelma Don, secretaryg Rudolph Pope, sergeant-at-armsg and George Tracy, representative to the Student Body. 1 During the first term that this class attended Cogswell, the Associated Girl Students royally entertained the girls at a reception in their honor. This was a time never to be forgotten in the Freshman life of this class. The '17 class is proud of the fact that some of the Freshmen were able to join the orchestra-a tact which is still highly appreciated. There are also many other musical students of this class who are not in the orchestra but who help at other times. At the first regular meeting, class captains were elected for basketball, football, swimming and track. The boys showed their class spirit by entering into all the interclass con- tests and many tried to make the school team. Guido Pera distinguished himself by winning his block C during the first six months of his stay at Cogswell. Several boys won their class numerals in swimming and track events At the beginning of the new term, a meeting was held and the following 6 officers were elected: VValter 1-Ioll, president: Cade Sparks, vice-presidentg Rudolph Pope, treasurerg Opal Dalbey, secretary: Jacob Cordsen, sergeant-at armsg Hazel Sweeney, 'representative to the Student Body. The girls of the class have not, as yet, taken much interest in the girls' tll ' 3 1 etlcs of the 5Cl'1001, but they are gradually beginning to do so.

THE COGSWELL 41 The class basketball team is a eontencler for hrst place honors in the annual interclass series. They cleleatecl the '15 class team by a score of 53 to 32. They are now reacly to play the '1-1 class for the championship. The team consists of Arthur lfurclerer, Spiro Manclieh, Carl Olsen, Thomas Fowler, john Torre and S. Soroeeo. Swimming was well supported this term by the '16 class, and by the efforts of our representatives we managed to secure seeoncl place. As yet baseball has not eommeneecl, but we are proucl to say that five out of the nine men to play will be from the 'lti class. lfrom all appearances the '16 class boys are bouncl to come out gnocl ancl strong for football practice and a number have great hope ot being' seleetecl for the school team for the coming term. 1Vho says our boys are lacking in school anrl elass spirit? At the class meetings ol late there has been a great rleal of interest aroused at the prospect of having' our class pins. .X committee has been appointed ancl is doing its best to get a pin that will rival all others of the school.

THE COGSWELL 43 During the second term, the class basketball team had to acknowledge the superiority of the mighty Seniors, but put up a better game than was expected. A special meeting was called by the president on March 12, l9l-l, for the purpose of planning a picnic at Muir X'Voods. The picnic was held later. Much fun was had and, as Mr. lfiliss said, Much was learned in Physics. Five months ago we. a baud of would-be Cogswellites, came to the Cogswell Polytechnical College, each holding in his left hand a diploma, and in his right the mighty pen, an emblem of future learning. After being assigned to our respective classrooms we were ready to start on the hi-st lap of our high school career as the December class of nineteen hundred and seventeen. The following month tlfebruaryl the class constitution was drawn up and the oliicers were elected to take charge of the aHiairs of the class until June. They were: President, -lohn Nordstant: Yice-l'resident. Wiilliam Irvine: Sec- retary, XVilliard Sullivan: Treasurer, -loel Marston: Sergeant-at-.-Xrms, lrlarold Andersong Representative, lrlerbert Daly. Then followed a period of great complexities which tested our reasoning abilities to the uttermost. XVe were initiated into the mysteries of algebra, physics, English and ancient history. Besides these subjects, the girls were taught sewing, and at the beginning of the second quarter several were ready to start on their applied sewing. The girls also studied freehand drawing, while the boys took up mechanical drawing. Among the girls basket ball seems to be the favorite game. In several instances the boys have made a good showing in athletics. ln the interclass swimming meet held at the Lurline Baths in February, Elmer Hansen succeeded in winning his numerals by swimming second in the 50 and 75 yard dashes. He also took the twelfth place in the recent cross-country run. Herbert Daly, the 100 pound sprinter, took second places in the 50 and 220 yard dashes and in the broad jump. thereby winning his numerals, The boys' basket-ball team has contested some good games with the High Freshmen and have shown them that they could play better than the High Freshmen realized. In baseball the boys have not organized a team. although they have some good niaterial, and it is thought that they will do so in the near future. The class went for an outing on April 18th to Muir Wfoods and enjoyed a pleasant day. With the term drawing to a close, most of us expect to find ourselves High Freshmen next term, in spite of the difficulties we encountered in our first term.
