FRESHMEN The Grease Monkeys Officers President...... Robert Ramsey Vice-President............Donna Boyd Secretary............ Carmen Whisler Treasurer .... Harriet Livingston This class falls under the name of grease monkeys. When translated in the vernacular of the day, this implies the underdog—the hireling—the one who does the dirty work”. Too, the grease monkey is usually the beginner who has high hopes of advancing from this lowly station in life. However, this corps of individuals is very necessary in order to have a smoothrunning plane which is to be desired above all things. Following co-operation and co-ordination of the machine, comes success and the position of Ace. These grease monkeys have had an auspicious beginning. This last semester on the honor roll they had the greatest percentage of any class. In athletics they have displayed no little skill for novices and showed up surprisingly well as recruits. Too, they have not lacked representation in the music section. In general, they have showed varied talent with three years in which to develop it. This is, indeed, a bright start on the road to success. 17
