Freshman Initiation It was on September il, that the Freshman Class of 1954 was welcomed Ha into the Femald High School. The Sophomore Class took over the reins of the green freshies and eagerly led them through their day of reckening . As usual each member of the new class wore his own delight- ful costume to school. During the day the Greenies carried out the Sophomores every wish. That evening the Freshmen, still in uniform, assembled on the lawn in front of the school- house to leam clearly what Initiation truly is. The first course served them was the tantiliz- ing paddle line. Second course found the Freshmen walking by a table on which several differ- ent dishes were placed and each in tum felt the ingredients in each one. The third course consisted of a Truth or Consequences program with the record Dragnet being played during the proceedings. After each Freshman Knot very green now, had been officially welcomed into high school the sophomores furnished the entire high school lunch which brought the curtain down on a very hilarious evening. 34
