Friday the 13th, the Freshmen were guests at a delightful reception given by the Sophomores. Persons who were superstitious did not attend, as the Community House was decorated with old superstitions. On the night of April 18th, The Freshmen sponsored the last all-school party of the year. For the program they put on a short one act play entitled, Hist, She s a Man. Freshmen Student Council representatives were as follows: Barbara Mills, Melvin Hakes and Mildred Hyde.

Here the green freshies took a ducking. On September 21, we were initiated by the Sophomores, and on the evening of Septan-ber 22, they gave us an unforgettable reception. During the month of March, we gave our first all-school party, which turned out to be a big success. The Community House was decorated in green and white, representing St. Patrick s Day. On September 4th, 1940 we started our second year of High School, and elected the following officers: President----------------Robert Feorilla Vice President-----------Donna Vincent Secretary Treasurer----Jeanne Bowersox We also elected Mr. Davis as our class advisor. To our chagrin we were again pulled through the Lower Mill, but this was soon forgotten, as the next day we Initiated the Freshies. On the lucky day of Friday the thirteenth, we gave the Freshmen their reception, to which they responded very well. This year our all-school party came on February 28th, and in spite of much illness it was qjuite well attended.
