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 .

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.

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-

Orchids to the Underclassmen A pretentious counselor like Abraham Lincoln is most proper and fitting to declare by what means we shall choose titles to fit our seniors. But for the under-classmen and the juniors he is far too famous. We could not bring our humble selves to ask such a noted person to tell us how to add a line after some of our noted freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. So we just made them up by ourselves from our ow n inspiration. You know w ho we are. You under- stand we can’t 1m taken too seriously. So with all due thanks to the gracious seniors, who so kindly allowed us to take up a page in their annual to bestow orchids upon the under-classmen and juniors, we give a few honors to some luture seniors. May they be as kind and generous in their treatment of future under-classmen as the class of 1940 has been to them. And so we give our flowers: To Barbara Babbitt Beatrice Ball Joseph Beck Joan Erway Bichard Kinglet on Carol Fuller Fravne Gross Marjorie Hill Maxine Jarman Donald Johnson Donald Keeler Mary ketcham William Lord.
