FRESHMAN INITIATION Among the various traditions and practices connected with our high school, the annual tradition of initiating the freshmen is probably the most outstanding. Of the memories that graduates take with them of high school days, one of the most important is freshman initiation. Each year at the beginning of the term a day is selected by the seniors to give the freshmen their opening course in high school education. It is only after this initiation that the freshmen actually become a part of the high school student body. The freshmen of 1944-45 were given their introduction to high school life on the first Friday of the school year. The male members of the class attended each class wearing dresses and other accessories. These glamorous boys went to classes with very giggly girls wearing overalls and large sized overshoes. All through the day and evening the freshmen were subject to the ridicule of the remainder of the school, and they furnished good entertainment for all. The freshmen took everything fn good spirits and probably had more fun than anyone else. As is also an annual tradition, the conclusion of the day's initiation is an all school party at which the freshmen are honored and accepted officially as high school students. ' 6
