iFrrsbmett (Class iStstory It was a bright, sunny morning, the first day of school and a group of Freshmen, girls and boys, marched quietly into the Farrell High School Building. While passing in the hall they noticed two statues, which they later found out to be Mr. McCullough and Mr. Eddy. The Freshmen entered their rooms and quietly took their seats and folded their hands upon their desks. The teachers remarked about how obedient and quiet they were. These Freshmen were now in a very serious state of mind and they knew what they were up against and determined to make good. Sing Sing Prison is like our High School in two respects: First, when you leave there, if you ever do, you are supposed to be reformed. Second, wherever the prisoners go they drag a ball and chain along with them and wherever a Freshie goes his looks are sure to go also. The Freshmen held a Hallowe’en party. It was the grandest affair ever held in the High School and it will always be remembered by all, especially the Freshmen of ‘21 and ’22. Winter came and snow with it. The Freshmen were going to have a sleigh load but every time things were ready and the time set, to the Freshmen’s great disappointment there was never any snow. One great habit of the Freshmen was never to leave school without a book, (to study). The Freshmen have wonderful voices. This was proved at cheer practice and also at basketball games. The Freshmen of ’21 and ’22 were very ambitious and took a great interest in everything they did and in all High School affairs. They had many honors bestowed upon them, in fact, too many to mention. The greatest ambition of these students is to hold true to these honors with the many honors they are likely to receive before they finish their next three years of High School. A. H., ’24

Freshmen (Curtain Rises) A great number of students are assembled at the corner of Fruit and Haywood street, and everything seems to be in a turmoil. But, what is the cause of this apparent riot? Oh, yes! The upper classmen have begun their annual task of running the clippers over the cranium of their unwilling victims. What a pity! Their pompadours, which they have cultivated with so much care, are practically ruined. On the other hand, they have been saved the expense of getting a haircut, so perhaps our worthy upper classmen deserve thanks. About a month of school has elapsed, let us now turn our eyes to another scene, that of our Hallowe’en party. The gymnasium is lit up and decorated very becomingly. The colors which are present in the various costumes rovals that of the coat of Shakespeare’s “Touchstone.” The evening is spent in playing games. About 11:00 p. m. the crowd is beginning to disperse. We all think that the teachers and committee in charge of this affair deserve great credit for their efforts in making it a success. We have returned to our studies on Monday and everything goes on as usual. Examinations come and go, and we have finally become accustomed to our positions as High School students. This scene now shifts to that of the last day of school. We celebrate it by holding our annual Freshmen-Sophomore picnic at Buhl Park. This marks the end of our first act as members of the Freshmen Class of Farrell High School. (Curtain falls). Act II Time of play.............................September 7, 1921-June, 1922 Setting . ...i...................................Farrell High School Characters.................................................Sophomores (Curtain Rises). We have come back again to say hello to you, not as Freshmen, but as Sophomores. Today we found revenge and are inflicting the torture on the Freshmen, which we received at the hands of our upper class-men in the first act. We are so accustomed to our position hat we seem to be on a higher plane than the Freshmen. The first month of school has passed and our class is busy making preparations for a Hallowe’en party. This party proves to be equally as successful as that held in our Freshmen year. After this social event we again resume our studies and the time passes very rapidly. The end of the term is fast approaching, bringing with it the Freshmen-Sophomore picnic. This event helps to crown the blissfulness of our Sophomore year in Farrell High School. Now that we have given you a true play of our Freshmen and Sophomore career, we beg to bid you adieu, and will appear before you in a short time, not as Sophomores but as the Junior Class of Farrell High School. (Curtain falls). Hilda Horovitz
