We chose Mr. Smith for our class sponsor and we elected the following officers: Donald Strong, president; Bill Smith, vice-president; Tony Kelly, treas¬ urer; Jay Gould, secretary.

The boys, as well as the girls, had to wear their clothes inside out. What a sight! there was more. The girls were expected to wear two different colored socks, and shoes with no shoe strings. Every time we approached the school block we found any number of freshman boys running around it. Of course, there were some senior boys around too! We will all agree there is nothing like freshman initiation. Our first activity of the year was a get-together dance, called “Fresh¬ man Frolic,” which was held on January 16, 1953, in the Music Room. Next we sponsored a dance called, “Springtime Swing,” in which the dec¬ orations were very bright and gay. Both dances were successful. In the following years we hope for many interesting and successful happenings. 21
