Un the lirst day ul school verdant fresh- ness was emispieuwus, heeause ut' its almsenee. N0 halting steps or fearful tremors were present unless perhaps. it were found in llyrun Vrirhees, whu, in spite of his wonderful gift of uratfvry, is more fir less shy aml timid. The wpnderful deinfweratie spirit in nur class was shown frnm the very tirst. The year started ntl' with a hike and a wiener roast. when almut seventy memlmers of the class had the time of their lives at the Slaughterheck woods two miles east of tuwtl, ln Nuveinher two Literary Societies were or- ganized. the l'hilrwphr0nean and Cvleiorhetean. 'llhese sueieties furnished programs every three weeks during the selnml year. 'l'0 these sfveieties Dun U'Cm1imr owes his wonderful uratorieal ability: Dorothy Redman her unusual skill in directing ehuruses, and in addition to this Ralph liagey has lfvund his true ealling as a writer of detective stivries. ln patriutism we've taken nn lwaek seat. l'pnn hearing that the Main lligh Sehuol had sult- serihed fin' a lilly--dollar l.ilzerty l,.fian, we de- cided tu gn une hetter and sulwserihe fur a huns dred-dollar loan. ln the ervntest which fivllowed, in the attempt tu raise the amount. with the twn Literary Sucieties lined np in friendly rivalry. the uuteome was su nearly a tie that lnith sos eieties claimed the vietiwry, .Xt any rate we river- shut the mark and une hundred and flirty-eig'lit dollars were raised. and the remarkable part iff it was that it was raised almnst entirely hy ins dividual suhseription. ln the junior Red Cross drive we have the limmr of lieing the first llltl per Cent sclifml in the eity and furthermure we niade our 100 per cent the tirst day uf the drive. just now we are in the 'l'hrit't Stamp drive and the fame nf nur four-minute men is spreading' all over the city. Uur student gwverninent is an organization nf which we are justly proud, XYe have modeled it after nur own municipal government and have oliieials from the Mayiir im down who take care of our selmul. XYe have all kinds uf students, frtnn Nellie .Xmsler, who has more knowledge tu the square ineh than most of us have tu the square font. iw Porter Gillespie, whose nnly kmwwledge uf l.atin is venit, vidit, thinkit, 'l'here is an earnestness and eharaeter to the work in the class ruoms that proves that the Freshmen mean husiness. lt is our aim to maintain our high standard thrriugh the remaining three years of our High School course.
