We were not like most Freshmen, we were greener! Fortified with the knowledge obtained through eight years of Grade School, and by the crowning glory of a “Diploma'’ and “graduation” speeches, we had decided that we were no less that geniuses. So, imagine our feelings when the high and mighty “upperclassmen” calmly informed us that we were nothing but brainless worms, too inferior for words. It was a great downfall, but we were ambitious. We fearlessly faced the insurmountable barriers of Algebra, History, and English. Some fell by the wayside. Our class dwindled. But the majority survived the test, and became Sophomores! Upper- classmen !! Our one aim was to make life miserable for the Freshmen, even as life had been made miserable for us. Our efforts met with such as- tounding success that there was a move to abolish Freshman initia- tions! Alas! And then, in an incredibly short time we were Juniors, our am- bition to feed the Seniors. As usual, we were successful. And now! The graduating class of nineteen hundred and thirty, once the lowly Freshmen, now the illustrious Seniors, Pub- lishers of the first Annual in eleven years. Twenty-eight of us, our schooldays almost over. Almost ready to fare forth into the world to find our ways alone. Wish us luck.
