FRES HMEN - - Bewildered, unassuming individuals Asking nothing, daisy-shy. Awed at Life, not knowing That 'tis but a game. Their earnestness, A boon to teachers, nerve wracked lives, Will disappear in time, And they will be The Roisterers. wg I 4' by. . X J' ' . ' fi, I, p. S .

THE CLASS UF 1943 The spotlight focuses on a group of upperclassmen gossiping in the hall. Surreptitously eavesdropping, we hear that they are telling of freshman misdemeanors. Was her face red when she barged into the boys' dressing roomly' Did you hear about the one who asked, 'How much is water with ice in it?' 'i The prize was the babe that said, 'If germs have no eyes or noses, how can they get into the food? ' Now the spotlight is centered on a group of fresh- man boys. One of them, noticing a pretty girl-this phase of interest has developed early-offers glibly, Say, she's some babe! Shouts of Bob loves Shirley! Bob loves Shirley! are mingled with the unfortunate boy's protests. These are the freshmen. Each crop, though of greater quantity, seems a little smaller, a little greener, and a little more dumbfounded than the last, though this year's crop eventually grows up to harrass those of years to come. Still freshman is a name to inspire pride. What great man has not thrilled to it? Through the centuries a great march of freshmen has made our presidents, authors, motion pic- ture stars, and philosophers. - -' Nor have they been lacking in initiative. The glee club, band, orchestra, student council, G. A. A., G Club, athletic teams, journalism, and other organizations have been improved by many of their number. , We shall long remember the initiation of the current year class. Gur sympathy went out to Jimmy, whose voice suddenly failed in the midst of his S0l1g.

Without them to taunt and deride what a dreary place our halls would become.
