rr , f . S F 9 Z 1 Q ef . C: 3 9 History of the Freshman Class Un September 3rd, 1923 forty pupils were entered in the Freshman Class of Ferguson High School. A few weeks after school started we elected the following ofticers of the class: VVil1iam llemminghaus, President: Elsie Schultz, Vice-Presidentg Leonard Aubuchon, Secretary and Treasurerg and Marion Gibson and XVeston Clay, the Council members. During the year James Tullock entered the class and Selma Mapel, Russell Kirby and Carlton Norris left. About the middle of October the girls of the Freshman Class organized a cheering society called The Freshmen Razzersf' The Razzers elected as their otticers: Marion Gibson, Presidentg Elsie Schultz, Vice-Presidentg and Louise llauber, Secretary and Treasurer. The latter part of February Student Government was decided upon. A chairman was elected out of each classroom and study hall to take charge of the class during the absence of the teacher. This plan worked out well. On February 29, 1924, Mrs. Dyer and Mrs. Gibson gave a party at the home of Mrs. Gibson for the Freshman Class. The games played were: a memory contest, a candy sucking contest, and a contest to see who could walk on a cord without stepping oft it. john Dyer won the memory testg Lowell Morris, the candy sucking contest, and Jeanette Godfroy, the contest for walking the chalk line. The prizes were half pound boxes of candy. Everyone had a good time. Although we are now looked down upon by upper classmen, we hope in the coming years to show our true worth and establish a record for the Class of '.Z7. If Page Twenty
