T. H. S. when about thirty freshmen stumbled over one another as they tried to walk quietly across the assembly and slip into a seat from the wrong side without any of the upper classmen seeing them. We managed to live through the first embarrassing weeks and finally felt seasoned enough to hold our first class meeting. Leo Snapp was elected president; Joe Mahoney, vice-president; Elizabeth Baum, secretary; and Otis Edmonds, treasurer. We all enjoyed our first party in the gym given by the sophomores. Later we attempted to repay them with a camp supper, which proved a great success with the exception of the supper. There was much enthusiasm among the freshmen in athletics. A number of our boys went out for football and showed great promise for the future. There was much interest shown among the girls in basketball. During January, new freshmen entered high school and made us feel that we were beginning to be those awe inspiring upper classmen. We have great hopes for the future and will try to live up to the high standard of the school throughout our high school life. —Catharine Myers, ’28. Page Twenty-three

As the years went by we passed from grade to grade, losing some of our members and gaining others. By the time we had reached the eighth grade, outclass numbered twenty-five. In the fall of 1924 the eighth grade girls formed a glee club, directed by Miss Evelyn Lange. Before we left the eighth grade, a party was given for us in the grade school auditorium. Our greatest achievement as eighth graders was the operetta, which we gave under the direction of Miss Lange. Of course, the seventh and the other eighth grades helped, but our members had the most important parts. On January the nineteenth, 1925, seventeen of us entered high school. As we are freshmen we are considered ignorant and insignificant, but we think we are just as intelligent as the upper classmen. After we entered, we took part in the regular freshmen class meeting. Ray Davenport, one of our members, was elected assistant secretary and treasurer. Because we entered in the second semester, we didn’t get our pictures taken with the rest of the class, but had the honor of having them taken separately. Some of our boys went out for basketball, and spring football practice. The girls in our class expect to have a good basketball team next year as some have had experience. As we haven’t been in high school very long, we have not had much chance to show our talent. We have great hopes for the future and when we are dignified seniors our history will be the best ever. —Susie Wilson, ’29. Page Twenty-five
