Freshmen The opening of the fall term, 1939, found forty-seven eager students, not quite sure of their way around, but looking for it anyway. Of course there was the traditional nervousness before the initiation by the sophomores, but we did not have to wait long. After answering to roll call the appointed night, we were roughly stood in line and blindfolded. The upperclassmen administered a very fragrant smelling powder to our hair (which lasted for about two weeks), and we were ready for our journey. After walking miles and miles — so it seemed — over railroads, gravel roads, and mud puddles, and after taking our dose of alum, which made our mouths feel like dried prunes look, we finally arrived at our destination. Re- penting of their cruelness, the sophomores gave us a wiener and marshmallow roast. We walked home singing Oh Johnny, Roll Out the Barrel, and our newly learned Close Beside Chehalem Mountain. The freshmen soon found their places in the school life and even held many prominent offices of the school. L ' Ami editor and Crescent editor were held by freshmen and debate teams, Trefian, Y. W. C. A., football, volleyball, basketball, and baseball teams had a large percentage of freshmen. The freshman class became known as the pep class of the school as most of them belong to the Pep Club which has a freshman president. Our own class officers were: David Michener, president; James Kyle, vice- president; Mary Lou Hoskins, secretary; and Corinne Rickert, social chairman. As the big event of the year for all rookies, the class play, Dover Road, was presented March 21, with an enthusiastic backing from the entire class.
