At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President Bean Chapman Vice President Joy Moor Secretary and Treasurer Elizabeth Whetstone Class Advisor Mr. Davis The tug-of-war was held at the lower mill September 15. We won by pulling the Sophomores through twice. The Sophomores initiated us on September 13. The boys dressed as girls, carrying dolls and pillows and the girls dressed as pirates, carrying mops and pails. Both boys and girls wore considerable made-up, can rubber ear-rings and were compelled to bow to each Sophomore they met. The initiation was carried into the reception, which the Sophomores gave in our honor, each Freshman contributing to the program. The evening of N0vember 9, our class journeyed to Albion for a roller skating party. w Although many spills w re taken, the evening was enjoyed by all. We sponsored the last All-School Party, held at the Community House
