Freshmen The Freshman class of 1945-46 started out determined to set new records. The initiation was held with good spirit. On that day, cowhands, a painter, some beautiful girls, and a football hero appeared. Also one boy was ratherin a hurry that morning and had only time to get into his long drawers! With initiation behind us, we went energetically forward to the activities of the year as full-fledged members of Irrigon High. The Freshman return party, our first undertaking, was a great success. It was given on Halloween. Several games were played, one or two at the expense of the upper classmen. Refreshments consisting of cider and doughnuts were served, and a good time was had by all. The Freshmen have also helped in the other activities of the year. Each member stayed at least one hour in a booth at the car- nival. We also participated in the program given in connection with the carnival. Our candidate for queen was Dolores Browning. One of our members, Esther Warner, was in the all-school play. Of our twelve members, nine are in the band. They represent seven different instrument sections. Our class officers are: President, Herbert Rand 5 vice-president, Esther Warner, secretary-treasurer, Alfred Holden. Our class is justly proud of its achievements. However, we real- ize that there are greater things ahead, and we are pressing toward higher goals.
