Although there were no merry-go-rounds, ferris wheels, whips, and the surroundings for the carnivals that come to our town in the summer time, you could walk into our gym and find any number of amusements for everyone. There was a small admission charge at each booth not exceeding five cents. There was a refreshment stand open during the evening also, which was kept busy feeding hungry mouths. All the dance lovers came running when nine-thirty rolled around and the orchestra began to play. Indications showed that everyone had a splendid time, as all Sophomores hoped they would. 12

THE FRESHMAN PARTY The 1937-38 Freshman will, no doubt, remember Saturday night, October 30th, as an evening of fright, embarrassment, laughter, and a pang of pain, which was furnished by the villians of the day, the Sophomores. After being initiated into Chilli Hi, the Freshmen were sent off the stage with a bang which was swung by some members of the Sophomore class. To ease the feelings of the Freshmen, towards us, refreshments were served to the Freshmen, the rest of the school, and their guests. Nearly everyone took their part in the evening’s entertainment, when the music, furnished by a popular dance orchestra began, and everyone got into the spirit of rhythm. The Freshmen have one consolation—they will be able to take their spite out on next year’s Freshmen. 11

The Sophs really did a job of pouring it on on Freshman Day, October 30, and then summed up on the following Saturday night. Octo- ber 31, with the Freshman party. The Freshies built their treasury by selling subscriptions for maga- zines. A roll was taken by the Freshmen the first of the year to see who the class officers should be, which proved Miss Morrison as class advisor; Wayne Sager, president; Robert Stephenson, vice-president; Muriel Underwood, secretary, and treasurer, and Mary Ellen Mattice and Robert Rose as delegates for thq Student Council. A return party for the Sophomores was not thought advisable be- cause the money should be used for the Freshman party next year. 13
