?! H.C.H.S. WINNADA 1025“j? «■' K FRESHMAN HISTORY ON the morn’ng of September 2, a group of fifteen green and rather shy Freshmen knocked at the doors of H. C. H. S. We were admitted but seemed ill at ease, always being on the alert for the unusual roughness of the upper classmen, who pretended to be very friendly with us, but “Actions Speak Louder Than Words,” as we found in the suc- ceeding days of torture. Our first day was spent wandering listlessly around the halls of the bu'lding, but this was soon put to a stop by the tyrannical upper classmen, who gave us our orders and forced us to carry them out. This seemed to give us a new lease on life, as we now knew what we were supposed to do. We were told to come to the H. C. H. S. on the evening of Septem- ber 6, for the initiation and to be prepaied for anyfch’ng that might hap- pen, even death. However, none of us were unfortunate enough to meet Mr. Death, although many of us remarked that we would have welcomed him as many of us had witnessed what we considered worse. It is the custom for the Freshmen to give the first party of the •year so we gave the said party, on Hallowe’en. The hall was decorated in very orig'nal Halowe’en des’gns. A Gypsy fortune teller was stationed at one end of the hail to entertain those who did not wish to dance. Light refreshments were served about eleven. There were eight more Frosh joined our ranks on January 12, and with the help of “us older Frosh,” they were initiated into the ways of H. C. H. S. We are glad that we have completed our year of wearing the “green spots” so successfully, and are now looking forward with eager- ness and confiedence to our Sophomore year. 3Z.
