THIE SYLLABUS 41 HISTORY AOF THE FRESHMAN CLASS. This class, in the beginning of the school year consisted of eleven members, the same number as the Freshman class last year. But about the second month of school one of the class left us. The class now consists of eight girls and two boys. The following are the members and their history: Lucille Agnes Ryan, the joke of the class, came to us from Chicago. She has always taken a prominent part in the school pranks, but outside of this, one of her favorite pastimes is working Algebra. l.eta Crumrine has spent the fourteen years of her life in Flanagan. She is the smallest in the class, but not the youngest. Leta is a very studious girl. Mona Gertrude Meils, a true Flanaganite. has lived here all her life. She has a taste for art and has shown her ability by contributing appropriate drawings for the Annual. Ruth Elizabeth Rich is one of us, but she lives in the country about tive miles southeast of here. She loves to work and is always busy. Altho she frowns, she has a smile for everybody. Ivan Obenshain has been with us for three years. Ile has an inclination for talking, especially in History, and he is adventurous. lvan is little but mighty. Alfred Klalkwarf has made this his home a number of years. He is a mem- ber of the F. H. S. Athletic Association. He is the star Algebra student of the Freshman class and is very talkative. Amelia Tarmann, a very quiet girl, is spending her first high school year in Flanagan. She dislikes most of her studies, but never gets discouraged. Ruth Gladys Rupp came from the Buckeye state and settled about three miles southeast of town. She lived there until this school year, when she moved to town and beca.me a member of the Freshie class. She delights in running an automobile on a moonlight night. lfVilda Augusta Ulrich lives about two and one-half miles southwest of town. She came to us at the first of the year and from the first acquired a liking for Dutch. We imagine she would like Latin, being named for a Caesar. Juanita Lueile lVilcoX has spent all of her hapless life in Flanagan. She has a peculiar hatred for Algebra, but Dutch comes naturally. Juanita lYilcox, Alfred Kalkwarf.

THE SYLLABUS FRESH M AN POEM. I. When in the course of human events, We Freshies take our standg VVe' re going to show you Seniors how To take great things in hand. II. You say you want a proof of this? W'ell, please just wait a whileg For we Freshies never miss To do things in grand style. III. You see we have the personages, To make our class go roundg Take for instance Amelia and Lucile, Such geniuses ne'er were found. IV. Vlhy even Juanita is a Xapoleon shark, She is right there like a larkg For she is a regular mystery IVhen it comes to anything like history. V. Ive have seven other wonders, Like the great Wonders of this Worlmlg But on account of lack of space, Their banners must. remain furled. VI. But some day you will hear of them, Proud Seniors who are gayg And as for you clear Juniors, VVe' ll meet you on our way. VII. Herels but a word for our sifle-pal Sophs, Vlho give us naught- but knocks and scoffsg IVhen We take one more step in life, We'll help our followers in their strife. VIII. Alas, tho at the time of writing We're only Freshies bold, We'll continue onward ever fighting Till we're taken into the fold. 7 By R. R. and M. M
