Freshman Class This fall the class of 1940 entered the high school with 237 members—the largest of the four classes. The “greenness characteristic of freshmen soon disappeared as the older students helped them to become accustomed to new schedules. After the initiation, in which the girls had to wear long dresses and carry bottles and the boys had to wear short pants, the class settled down to the business of becoming active members of the student body. Clare Bud Pruess was elected class president; Richard Espey, vice-president; Aldine Ownbey. secretary; Warren Thomas, treasurer; and Earl Hall, student council representative. T. H. Coke and Miss Helen Schepman were chosen class advisers, and after Mr. Coke’s death. Mrs. Ray Me Duffee was selected to fill his place. At the beginning of the year the class was entertained by the seniors at the Senior Reception and later were entertained by the sophomores at the Sophomore-Freshman party. On April 9, the freshmen relumed the hospitality of the sophomores at the Freshman-Sophomore party.
