ard, james Angel, Stuart Brooks and Charlotte Allicks. lt seems that only one freshman boy re- ceived a minor letter in football, and that boy was LaVere Keeney. The boys on the basketball team were Loren Munson, LaVere Keeney, and lim Landis. No basketball letters were given to fresh- men this year. The girls have been equally sports-minded with basketball, ice skating, bowling, and tennis being just a few of the many sports in which they have partici- pated. The freshmen have joined many of the various clubs open to them. Some of these are G.A.A., Latin Club, Freshman-Sopho- more Literary Society, Home Ec. Club, and the F.F.A. No freshman was elected to an office in these clubs. On March ninth, the annual party of the freshmen and sophomores was given in the gymnasium from eight o'clock to eleven. Danc- ing and games were the main activities car- ried on throughout the evening. While re- freshments were served, an entertaining floor show was put on with several talented freshmen participating in it. At the opening of the year the Crowell- Collier magazine campaign was held. Sev- eral freshmen held one of the five high places in salesmanship. Again the freshman class outdid all the other classes! Throughout the first semester the English l classes under the supervision of the Misses Dorothy Armington, Alice Rich- ardson, and Marjorie Tully, wrote their autobiographies as weekly themes. Then at the beginning of the second semester they compiled these themes into book form. Many of the autobiographies had attractive covers, and some had snapshots scattered throughout the pages. Some of the books were exhibited at one of the P.T.A. meet- ings, and received a good deal of favorable comment. These are just a few of the many school activities in which the freshmen have been leaders. lf this interest continues, it looks as if there will be an enterprising sopho- more class next year.
