FRESHMEN This year’s freshman class, although not as large as last year’s, is just as efficient and active. An outstanding accomplishment of the class was the organizing of the first freshman pep club in the history of El Reno High School. Officers of this organization were Ralph Macy, president; Ruth Brown, secre- tary; Evelyn Sherwood and Bob Dozier, yell leaders; and Miss Frances Gossett, sponsor. The class sponsored a freshman assembly, which was held late in April. Walter Blair presided over the assembly, with the enter- tainment as follows: Vocal solo, Elsie House; piano solo, Leon Smith ; numbers by the fresh- man girls’ quartet, which is composed of Louise Leonard, Martha Alice Marsh, Evelyn Sherwood, and Constance Poor; a humorous version of part of Shakespeare’s “A Midsum- mer Night’s Dream,” given by Ronald Cox, Charles Seamands, Lawrence Carl, and Wil- bur Stine, with the introduction by Henry Ireland. The concluding number was an ex- hibition of trick roping by Earlene West. HOME ROOM 9-A HOME. ROOM 9-r, t, i i i t r i i i i i i i i i ' i
