THEILANTERN 59 814155 Qfislory of the HQSZH-vers of 07wem'y'QSe7Jef2 ' ' The 4B Class XVe Were the Freshies. . In February of the year nineteen hundred twenty-three, we, about a hundred in number, assembled in the Auditorium of the Hibbard High School to receive our start on the difficult road to an education more extensive and more advanced than that Wh1Ch we had previously gained. To assist us in our new mode of learning we were put under the super- vision of four capable division-room teachers, Miss Bannister, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Craig, and Mr. Brauns. By them, we were introduced to our High School life and to our new studies. We were deprived of Social Affairs this first year, but we thought that since we could not have a jolly good time ourselves, we would make someone else happy. So, at Thanksgiving and at Christmas times, we made up and delivered great baskets of food to those who needed it. .Thus passed the first year of our probationary term, and we meek and in- significant Freshies approached our second year the unconscious possessors of a dignity which befitted our new standing in the Hibbard High School. XV e Were the Sophomores. Though some of our fellow-students had been transferred to other schools, and others, with more ability for learning than we possessed, had been sent to higher classes, the majority remained together. With our new dignity, only three instructors were necessary to oversee us in our division-rooms. These included Mrs. Stillman, Mrs. Shepherd, and Mr. Brauns. With the advent of Student Government into the Hibbard High School, one group, meeting in the Assembly Hall, was allowed to start self-government. Others received training in the History classes., Naturally, because of the di- vision period lasting only ten minutes, and because our division-rooms were all in the Assembly Hall, it was very hard for the class to get together, and so no very strong school spirit developed. Also, under these conditions, our hard- working division-room teachers had all they could do in trying to teach us to obey the students in charge. Many a time, the teachers exasperated at our disorder, were on the verge of justly depriving' us of Student Government. Then, we would almost beg to be allowed to continue it and would promise to behave ever after. It is perhaps sad to note that this little difficulty arose many times. Again, at Thanksgiving and at Christmas time, we did our little bit to help the poor and needy. We were not mature enough to indulge in any social events, but we managed to have good times whenever we were together. In the meantime, while we were attending the basketball and baseball games of our scliool, many of the boys and girls in our own class were preparing to participate in future athletic events. The close of our Sophomore year saw us delving more seriously into the search for further knowledge and into the activities of the school,
