The Freshmen are well represented in school activities. The contestants in the reading contest were all Freshmen with the exception of one. The cup was awarded to a member of our class, Vola Anchor. Nelmes Smith is on the school debating team. The Freshman boys form an important factor in bas- ketball and baseball. There are just as many Freshman girls on the girls' basketball team. The curtain of the future is still heavy, but lifting a corner, we will peer dimly into the days to come. VVe see the Freshmen of next year cowering, quailing, in terror before the stern and awe-inspiring countenances of us, the Sophomores, as we fashion instruments of torture for the initiation. We will have Revenge! -Evelyn Lasfelt, 'Z3.

'O -Qwbrrvocf FRES HMAN CLASS HISTORY Fifty Freshman were enrolled this year, a sight dazzling as well as terrify- ing to the so-called exalted Sophomores! This is proved by the fact that two whole weelis passed away before any definite plans for initiation were decided upon. To prepare us for the great event, the girls were decorated with numer- ous braids, curls, and delicate grass green mosquito bar, which, though cheap, has a beautifying effect. The boys were set to the no doubt beneficial, but also extremely distasteful, task of carrying wood. The grand finale was a tor- turing trial to the participants and a ludicrous spectacle to the onlookers. Of what crime were we guilty to receive such heartless treatment from the Sophomores? Shortly afterwards our class officers were duly elected: President, Henry The Freshman Class Thirty-ll'ree

The high school lawn is the haunt of those who sigh like furnaces and beat their breasts and are consumed with a love that passeth understanding. There it is that Elwood and Mildred, Velma and Clarence, Beatrice and Cecil, Elmer and Mildred, Howard and Agnes, have their whispered conndences and honest confessions. 'Haill the conquering hero comesf cry all the damsels when Harold Schulze, late the pride of the navy, approaches, for his ways are so winning, his conversation so charming and his manners so delightful that they all suc- cumb. Especially to be noted among his victories are the Junior and Senior girls. This school can boast of three colonial beauties in Lillian Sehlmeyer, Louise Elliot. and Celestine Richards, who, to the great delight of big bad boys that tease, and little had boys that pull, wear long and tempting curls over their shoulders. At the debating contest Nelmes Smith reminded one of a goat among sheep, as he was a poor lone little Freshman among three grave and reverend Seniors, sitting in all their might and glory on the platform. However, he seemed not a whit abashed and held his own with honor.
