FRtSHMEK CLASS HISTORY On the morning of September 8 not knowing just what was in store for us we walked into the School House with long grim faces. At the end of a few weeks the Sophomores called a class meeting to express the sad news of our initiation. This consisted of very crude attire, but we enjoyed it just the same. Vfith much grief to the boys the Tug of V ar was soon announced. On one breezy afternoon we all made a mad scramble for the lower mill where the event was to take place. The F'reshraen boys pulled the Sophomores through the water twice and then to be good sports waded through themselves. The Sophomores later gave us a reception. T e danced and refreshments were served. The FYeshmen girls with the help of our Home Economics advisor were the first to organize a Hot Lunch Club in Homer High School, which we feel has been a success. On December the Freshmen and Junior Classes sponsored the All School Party of the first semester, which was held at the Community House. The Seniors may have accomplished much, but wait ’til VYE are Seniors in '1 0. 12
