Bow to all sophomores and treat them with candy. Financially, the Freshman Reception brought the Sophomore class the sum of ten dollars, received from admission tickets and sale of refreshments. The money has at the present date not been spent and lies in the treasury of the classg in other words, is held by the class treasurer, Clayton Chadbourne, until the Sophomores wish its use. PEANUT HUNT Closely associated with freshman razzing, is the annual peanut hunt , which is an occasion when the freshmen try to elude the watchful sophomores in order to steal away in a group and consume a quantity of pea- nuts before the sophomores find them. An evening of fun is always in st01'e. Last fall the freshmen came out the better of the sophomores and duly presented them with the empty peanut shells after the fun was all over. STUDENT COUNCIL ENTERTAINMENT On May 7th, the Student Council presented an evening of varied entertainment at Har- mony Grange Hall, for the purpose of rais- ing money for athletics.

UFERG USONU During the winter term the English classes of the school have devoted part of their time to the writing of literary material for the Ferguson. Stud-ent interest and response has been most encouraging and each student has gained from his efforts regardless of whether or not his work has been printed. Neither space nor expense would allow all that is submitted to reach the printer's office, and many contributions had to be omitted which were fully as good as those printed, but all were appreciated equally. We especially thank our advertisers and our business manager, George Chadbourne, '37, FRESHMAN RECEPTION The first event of the present school year was the annual Freshman Reception, held on September 24th, which came as the climax of two weeks' effort on the task of razzing the entering class. A capacity crowd gathered at the school building on that third Thursday evening- of the school year, to witness the stunts exacted of the Freshmen and to en- joy the social and refreshments which fol- lowed. For two weeks previously the mis- treated Freshies had been inflicted with a number of stern Commandments, forced up- on them by the strong arm of the Sopho- more class, in line with the ancient tradition of Harmony High School. QWhat think you, reader? Would'st help us change that an- cient tradition to something a bit more sen- sible? Yet well do we know that we tramp our heavy feet upon delicate ground in the mere mention of such a suggestion. How mankind seems always to bow to the dic- tates of ancient traditionlj But, to continue, these were the Commandments: 1. Girls wear boys' caps and neckties. 2. Wear mismated shoes and stockings. 3. Each Freshman to wear a sign in- scribed, Freshmen are greeng -sock' em 'til they're ripe. 4. Boys to wear make-up. 5. No Freshman to enter school build- ing by front door.
