26 THE SENIOR FLICKER THE HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS OF 1926 October, 1922, marked the beginning of the freshman class of 1926. This class entered with the unusual record of having 293 members. During a meeting of the class, which occurred soon after the opening of school, Principal W. H. Ringer gave a splendid talk to its members. This talk mainly concerned the work expected of students, the general program, and class loyalty. Judging from the work that has been done by this class throughout the year, this talk impressed the class greatly. Armistice Day was observed by special exercises at the high school. One of the notable features of this event was the singing of “Recessional” by the freshman chorus. This was greatly appreciated by all present. The Thanksgiving Day program consisted mainly of contributions by the freshman class. Fletcher Wonson recited, “Give Thanks”. Ernest MacClellan took the part of a six-year-old boy, and Ernestine Viator, the part of a very small girl in a dialogue entitled, “What Each Is Thankful For”. These performers did credit to their class. The Freshman Girls’ Field Hockey Team won the game between the Juniors and the Freshmen, but unfortunately in a later game they lost to the Seniors. The Freshman Team is composed of Allison Vibert, Esther Gaff- ney, Katherine Meuse, Ellen MacEachern, Eleanor Porper, Iola Monroe, Edith Maddix, Margaret Swett, Margaret Gibbs, Muriel Moore, and Mar- garet Quigley. The method of competition decided upon for the winning of the Roose- velt Trophy for this year was an interesting talk on any subject. Four dele- gates were chosen to represent the four classes. The one awarded the prize was to be given it on account of the interest and delivery of his talk. The representative of the freshman class was Miss Beatrice Madsen, whose talk was on “The Origin of Man.” Miss Madsen’s talk was splendid and she de- serves hearty praise. She lost, however, to Miss Morong, the Junior dele- gate. In the Freshman Boys’ Football games the Freshmen won from the Juniors 12-6, but they lost to the Sophomores 21-6. The Freshman lineup was as follows: Ross, Kramer, Witham, Smith, Hanson, Scammon, Souza, Griffin, Capillo, Lane, Oliver, Erskine, Scammon and McDonald. The only member of the Freshman Class in the Christmas program was Ernest MacClellan. He gave a splendid characterization of the New Year. The Freshman Girls who have made the High School Basketball Team are Mary Sonia, Edith Maddix, and Ellen MacEachern. As the winners of the Sawyer Medals for this year have not as yet been announced, it is impossible to try and name them. The Freshman members of the Beacon Staff are Evelyn Kane, Paula Patch, Fletcher Wonson, and Helen Polisson. This ends the important happenings of the class of 1926. Don’t you think this class has made good its boast of being a splendid class? Of course you do! So come on now give a hearty cheer for 1926! Hurrah for the class of 1926. — Evelyn Kane, ’26
