The BREIDLIN History of the Freshman Class EPTEMBER 21, 1925, was a milestone upon the road of education of nearly five hundred students. On this day they entered the portals of high school and took their places as the class of IQZQ. Entering high school the freshman was at a lossg he longed for the old association and fa- miliar surroundings which he had known and loved in his grammar school days. Traditions dear to the heart of a senior were unknown to him, and- the desire to add just a little to the glory and honor of the school was not yet born in him. In a few weeks a change took place, however. New friendships were formed and his class he- gan to mean something to him. No longer could a sophomore fool him on trivial matters. Pride in the school, her traditions and her lead- ers took hold of him. The desire to defeat the hated sophomore led to the formation of a fresh- man football team, the first freshman activity. This year the incoming class was the smallest in the recent history of the school. The opening of the G. A. R. Memorial high school divided the grammar school graduates in two sections. ln spite of this handicap, when Coach Pender- gast called for candidates, enough freshmen turned out to form three teams. The freshmen seemed to realize that in a few years the respon- sibility of upholding the athletic standards of the school would rest upon their shoulders and they practised faithfully. Though no Red Grange or johnny U tz was produced, such determination is bound to overcome the handicap caused by the decrease in the number of students. Then came basketball. The new students felt more at home at this sport as they had played it in the grammar school league. Members of the freshmen class who felt confident of their ability tried out for the scrub team. Though no one considered promlising squad. Several strong starred, several were enough to keep on the 'freshman teams appeared in the Intramural basketball league and made their presence known by their excellent playing. The girls of the class of IQZQ, under the di- rection of Miss Van Loon, formed basketball and volley ball teams. 'In the games with girls of other classes they have shown that with more experience they will be able to furnish strong material for the Girls' Varsity basketball team. A department in which the freshmen have ex- celled is that of banking. The upper classes may well envy the freshmen the record they have made in school savings. VVe earnestly hope that the class as a whole will continue its good work in this line next year, and help the school reach the goal IOOWV banking. The Freshmen llallowe'en l'arty this year was up to the standard set by formfer classes. The many colored costumes and decorations lent a charm to the scene. VVe of the Freshman Class, as the end of this our Hrst year approaches, feel that we have laid the foundation upon which a successful high school career may be built. We are proud that we have successfully completed the first year, and await confidently the broadened pleasures and responsi'bi'lities which shall be ours as mem- bers of the Sophomore Class. Wie?

The BREIDLIN History of the Sophomore Class HEY started as indefinable somethings. They passed through the embryo stage sub- servient to all the abuse due them, and then, they emerged, free, happy and dominant, into the re- mote realms of Sophomorehood. They laughed, they played and they jibed, but they knew the quintessence of hard work and thus they suc- ceeded. Sophomores, fools and sages, passing the critical stage, sliding into lands unknown but prepared to overcome all barriers, uphold the prestige of the upper classes, and to set examples for their followers. Juniors now, ripe and frolic of their full grown age, but, are they equal to the task ahead? Yes, far more than equal, Neither spirit nor intellect has been lacking and the oak wreath has rested on their brow in many trials. Ably rep- resented in every field of school activity, support- ing when support is needed, they stand for some- thing more than students, they stand for Cough- lin High. Indeed praise in justly due to those who have carried the ball to thrilling victory on the grid- iron, battled furiously for the winning point in basketball and succeeded in placing several mem- bers of their class in varsity athletics. And this is not all. Surely school sentiment may not set down in the annals as inactive those who have been represented in the varsity orchestra. the band and the literary societies. But aside from their virtues they have many faults. They are Past Commlandersu in the art olf luring dogs to chapel, and recently have displayed much cour- age in downing enormous hot dogs. They al- most rival Seniors in cutting periods, and are far superior to juniors in the manly art of com- ing late. But why not? These are privileges reserved for Sophomores only and whosoever has partaken of their forbidden rights has im- posed upon the sacred liberties of their class. But alas l That day of liberty is over. No longer children to harry the freshman, no longer agents to turn the tricks of Satan, but students, with a grave responsibility resting on their shoulders. Oh, Senior, thy day is done! Lucky Junior, thy day is begun. But oh, thou happy sopho- more, exulting in thy spirit of freedom, selfish in the treasure which ye hold, thy day is yet to come. gone before you, F-orget not those who have suffer not the ties of memory to be severed, but hold on and on, uphold the banner of your school, stamp down false sentiments, and syml- bolize all goodness which your, our school, Coughlin High, stands for. . fa tr, Jo , , xv, A, -,Ulf we ! n' 1 N7 Wi f16l
