THE SENIOR FLICKER 25 THE HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS Gardner Porter, having been inaugurated President of the United States in 1957, employed me as his secretary. President Porter was about to have an autobiography of himself published, and there on my desk lay a pile of neatly folded papers ready to be typed. While glancing over a few of the pages, my attention was immediately attracted by a brief account of his entire Freshman class of 1924. (Seniors, notice! Even the President of the United States had been a Freshman once.) The account read somewhat as follows: In September it w T as a bashful crowd of Freshmen that entered upon the beginning of their High School career. But they were soon welcomed by their brother Seniors who acknowledged them at a Halloween Party given in October. The affair proved to be a successful one and all enjoyed the evening. Not long after the opening of school, Principal Ringer informed us, as students of the High School, of the work expected. I am sure that we all obeyed his instructions. The Thanksgiving Club Program was presented by Freshmen under the directorship of Miss Bailey. Mildred Shute took the part of a small girl, while Alice Whittemore proved to be a charming mother, and Elliott Anderson, a splendid dad. The fairies who appeared in the play were both clever and graceful. The moral of this drama was, “Be thankful for all things” (even if you should be unfortunate enough to have hash on Thanks- giving). These performers acted their parts almost professionally and a bril- liant future was predicted for them. During Good English Week a contest was held to decide the winner of the Roosevelt Trophy. Alice Whittemore and Helen Handran were the Freshman representatives. The two girls gave splendid speeches and made a fine showing for their classmates. The orchestra included three Freshman boys: Kline, Thomas, and Steele. These boys were faithful members of our orchestra and added much to the violin and flute sections. During the year, Alderman Brooks gave us an interesting speech con- cerning her trip to Washington. Her remarks were instructive and greatly appreciated. At the Presentation, Company C’s prize squad — Robert Callahan, Rus- sel Spinney, Wilfred Brown, Owen Steele, Arthur Goodwin, Philip Doyle, Harry Christenson, and Frank Welsh — carried off the medals on their manly chests. Outside of the prize squad, the Freshman boys provided background by acting as wallflowers. The Freshman girls, however, were well represented in the Grand March. The entire Freshman class was thus initiated into the social life of the school and the afore-mentioned chests of the prize squad members have continued to grow more manly day by day, because of this honor.
