History of fhe Class of 1930 .Y Georgetown, in the year 1918, the present sophomore class began its career along educational lines. Many have been lost by the wayside and an even greater number added until only a few of the original group remain. In 192b. when our class entered high school, there were eighty-one members. At that time we were necessarily quite fresh and everything including the assembly and the upper classmen assumed vast importance. Since then we have learned that upper classmen are mere human beings and the assembly has shrunk to normal size. This year llomer Morris was elected president for the first semester. Dannie Mahoney taking his place at the beginning of the second semester. Though our class basketball teams have made little showing, several of our members have made the varsity team and on the gridiron have made themselves famous. Two of our girls and several boys were asked to join the F.L.H. club. Those who succeeded in reaching the required level in their grades attained membership in the Science club. Of our number about one-fifth have joined the Glee clubs, taking part in the operettas both years. A few girls made the semi-chorus. Quite a few entered the speaking contest last spring. We hope to add to this record in the next two years to such an extent that our teachers will feel repaid for their efforts and we may graduate happilv. a credit to old G.H.S. Mary Powici.i,, ’30

History) of {he Class of 1931 CM HR) ROD)' says the freshmen are green and I guess vi? they were at first, but the freshman year is just as important as any year because it is the year in w hich you get tlte foundation for your high school life, the year in which you have to readjust yourself to the new and sometimes perplexing situations of a new school. 1 he freshman girls weren't used to mice playing under the desks and radiators in the assembly. However, these mice seemed to fascinate the boys. The class made some grievous mistakes at first. Somebody sat down on the wrong side of his seat, somebody spelled science wrong, and somebody said his parents were “Papa” and “Mama.” Some even forgot to come to class and ever so many other calamities happened. The boys have done well in sports, especially in the inter-class basketball games, where they won the cup from all the other classes. The girls weren’t so good but they tried very hard. Putting two and two together, it’s not as bad as many people say it is, to be a “freshy.” Did you ever think about it r 1 he faculty and all the rest of them were “freshies” once. They came out all right, so why won’t we? I'd like to know. Jean Ai.my, ’31 Pnf c Twnity-six
