Freshman Class Report N September 18,1916, a great monster climbed the stair- way ofthe Decatur High School. He was about 250 feet high, was nearly 650 years old and weighed 3,850 pounds. The cells of this gigantic monster were forty-five short, tall, bright Freshmen. Termed by the Seniors as insignificant little Freshies. In a few days we were comfortably arranged in our new quarters and a meeting was called to organize. Rex Adams was elected President, Helen Cfrilhn, Vice President: Malieta Goble, Secretary and Nina Taylor, Treasurer. Class Colors, Maroon and Cream. Banner Night, we gathered under a new banner of the class colors and were soon showing the Sophs that we had found the salt barrel, etc. Four of our members, Kenneth Robinson, Ethel Osborne, Margaret Baker and Fred Gwilt. left us. but Malcolm Carney, Gladys Harvell and XYalter Brown nearly brought our number back again. Pat soon decided that the Freshies were too fast a set for him and so the Sophs adopted him.
