V. S. Grant MEMOIRS Page lfr Second Term Class THE FOUR ROOMS in the northeast part of the first floor are overflowing with second termers—one hundred and seventy of us in all. While the school knows nothing of us as an organization, we are making ourselves known individually in many classrooms. Yes, we believe in athletics. Caldwell, Pagre, Rummell and Ivison represent us on the first football team; several others of our number were on the second team. Some of us are on the freshman basketball team, too. We are going yet. Just watch us go. Evans Hamilton. First Term Class AT LAST! We’re high school students. Three hundred and six of us enrolled in Grant High School. Maybe were green freshies, but nevertheless we are ambitious, entering Grant with the right spirit. We are here, striving to absorb all that this institution offers, and in return to give our very best to Grant. Notwithstanding the opinions of the upper classmen, we feel that upon us, not upon them, depends the establishing of the ideals for our school. We shall be the first class to have taken our entire course at Grant; our graduation will mark the fourth year of its existence. A great responsibility rests upon us freshmen; we are the builders, the ones to form, as well as to live up to the traditions of Grant. Our class has entered enthusiastically into the spirit of the school. Freshmen predominate in many of the school activities; over half of the Girls’ Glee Club is composed of first termers. There are thirteen Freshmen belonging to the Boys’ Glee Club. We are very proud that one of our girls is secretary of the Student Body Council. A freshman boy was made tackle and guard on the football team. No first term basketball team was organized, although many of us turned out for practice. The freshmen class is represented in the Radio Club by five boys. We found that out of the enrollment of three hundred and six, one hundred are planning already to go to college. A large number are planning their courses in accordance with the entrance examinations required of all the leading Eastern as well as the Western colleges. Sixty-six freshies are wholly or partially self-supporting; the names of these students head the honor roll in many instances. Taking it all around, this is as fine a freshmen class as was ever assembled—loyal, enthusiastic, full of pep, and ready to back old Grant until the end of time. —Clarice Van Wagner.
