Freshmen The absence of the incoming mid-year class of previous years reduced this term's crop of freshmen to 62 students. The total fell to tht number on sec- ond semester enrollment, when the lA's became 2B's and there were no new IBS to replenish the ranks. The decrease is caused by the decision of the school board eight years ago to eliminate mid-year classes. Bob Pruitt was the only class president to be re-elected for the second se- mester by his class. At another meeting, the freshman class voted to appropriate S15 to the Ne- sika Wawa fund. Although the under classes do not produce plays as do the juniors and sen- iors, Earline Moxley, lA. was given the part of Alice in the annual Christ- mas play, A Silver Lining. ENTERTAINMENT For the first time in two years the freshman and sophomore classes collabor- ated in an entertainment. A dance held on December ll. in the gymnasium, proved highly entertaining and more favorable with the students than the cus- tomary party. The gymnasium was gayly hung with ballons of varied shapes and colors. The three hours from 8 to ll o'clock were occupied with dancing to music by Merideth's Rhythm Makers.
