Mr- erv-tA. z fV{ yr m UJijj£ -=—-V jt A-is . Thc freshmen began their first vc ar in high school amid the usual cries of “freshie” and “greenie”. They quickly adapted themselves to their new surroundings and elected Raymond Kenyon as their first president. Roger Bennett vice president. Mary Ketcham secretary, and Pauline Chandler treasurer. After settling their politics and losing most of their shyness, they entertained the rest of the school at a gay mixer. The surprisingly intellectual baby in their “Man on the Street” act for the Spotlight greatly amused everyone. Throughout the year the fourth hour freshman Fnglish class ran competition to the Fortnight with the Observer, which contained mostly news of the freshman activities. This freshman class was the luckiest class in years, as the declamations were not compulsory this year. A large number of freslqjieu entered the coatest anyway, with one of their number, Claude Cutler, einerg-

The sophomore's showed up the upper-classmen with their entirely successful election for the second semester. They elected William Donovan president, Evelyn Townsend vice president. Retail Hummel secretary, and Sally Johnson treasurer. Doris Strimback won the declamation contest and gave to the sophomores the honor of having one of their number represent Hastings in the sub-district contest. Every sophomore had to toil through the required library course which Miss Barm's gives to each new crop of sophomores. They were happy little song birds at the Spring Swing, with “Somewhere Over a Rainbow” winning them the singing contest and the prize.

The trouble really began for the freshmen when they held their second semester elections. Election day rolled around, but there was no candidate for president or treasurer. The only officers elected were Betty Ketchum, vice president, and Elizabeth French, secretary. What to do! The freshmen were wandering aimlessly around without a leader or a financier. The Faculty Student Council finally decided to give them another chance to make good. It was successful! Raymond Kenyon was re-elected president and Mary Ketcham became treasurer. The freshmen showed more interest in the Spring Sw ing than most of the other classes. There they entered the singing contest, singing “Playmates”, a very appropriate song for the babies of the school, ight now they are all working hard to pass exams and become sophomores. $ t .
