ij THE ISLANDER -i BH Freshmen Class The class of 1931 entered Grand Island College as Freshmen with the hope of making their four years of college a successful preparation for their life activities. We look upon the Freshman year as' an excellent be- ginning of this preparation. We had a little fear of college at first, but we lost that when we found a welcome from the students who had been here before. We want those students to know that we appreciated their en- couragement, for it was a great help when we met disappointments in the starting of our college careers. We began our year of activities by defeating the Sophomores in the annual class scrap. After this and the excitement of hazing, we thought of the more serious, and selected the activities in which we would partici- pate. We have taken a prominent part in sports. Nearly half the football squad were Freshmen. In basket ball and track we have played our part. Although the Sophomores won the inter-class basket ball tournament the Freshmen led them to a fast game. In other activities also we have been represented. The literary socie- ties welcomed us into membership. The musical abilities of the class are seen by the representation in the glee club, the orchestra and the band. Several members of the debate teams are Freshmen. Our literary talents have been shown in many issues of the Volante. We thought our Fresh- man issue was a masterpiece. Many members and officers of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are Freshmen. In scholarship our class stands high. In the hurry of college life we have had time for few social activities, but on November 11, we held our Freshman party, and enjoyed a relief from diligent study. On April 2, the Sophomores entertained us as the winners of the contest in September. Among our members will be found the future leaders of the college, for already we have begun to assume such responsibilities. We thank those who have made it possible for us to attend Grand Island College, and look forward to 1931 hoping that we may graduate with the best of training and the highest of ideals. 1928
