Jfrestymen The medieval page had to pass through long years of train- ing before he could become a knight. This training began when he was a small child. Among the many things that a page had to learn before he was fourteen or fifteen were: proper manners, respect for the church and the religion, and the proper battle techniques. If his lord ivent into the field of bat- tle, the page went with him to help in every way he could. He had to learn how to use a sword, lanae, and bow, and how to swim, box, and fence. During the seven or eight years that he was a page, the boy was always looking forword to the time that he would become a squire, the next step toward knight- hood. Thus it is with the Thomas Downey High School knight. As a Freshman, working closely with the student leaders of his class, the student helps to further his class relationship. As a highlight of the year the Freshman class sponsors a dance. The class officers help the students integrate into the pattern of school life and the class as a whole contributes greatly to the school spirit and the further development of the school.
