THE ,IUNCO-ED 1927 Mw FRESHMAN HISTORY In the fall of 1926 a class of twenty-two green but curious Freshmen- marched proudly up the High school steps. We wandered around like lost sheep and tried in vain to translate the uppermen's cam-mands of do's and don't's into words found in the Freshman vocabulary. Green as we were, it soon wore off so that after the dreaded ordeal of of being initiated and the embarrassing two weeks after, we not only felt capable of being members of the J. C. H. S. student body but also able to take an active part in the various school activities. At the first class meeting Lyle Goodell was elected president, Nina Goode, vice-president, Edythe Evans, secretary-treasurer. At mid-year two of our 'class members dropped out. Others wished that they might drop out too when they found out what the mid-year exams would be like- Several Freshman boys went out for football in the fall and when the baseball season rolled around not only the boys turned out but the girls also. Half of the girls' ball team is made up of Freshmen. No one knows the real joy of being a Freshman until they have been one. I. CLASS OFFICERS Secretary-Treasurer-Edythe Evans.

THE JUNCO-ED 1927 FRESHMAN INITIATION After we 'had been in school a couple of weeks we were told we must come to the high school a certain 5 nite and get initiated. The 'upper classmen tried their best to scare us out. Oh! of all the terrible things we were going to have to do! They were badly mistaken I when they thought they could scare we Frosh-we aren't that kind. ' e F ' PF The nite came at last and most of us were there but for all our bravery we were kind of scared and when we arrivedswe were ushered into a room where we had beautiful green designs painted on our faces. Then up stairs to the torture room where some of the victims had to eat Worms, drink milk out of a bottle with a nipple on it, eat limburger cheese sandwiches and dip their faces in molasses and flour. We had to get on our knees and the girls had to take an oath that they would wear stockings of different colors, part their hair in the middle and Wear a green ribbon and the boys that they would roll their trousers above their knees and not use any kind of grease on their hair for two weeks- The evening ended by the upperclassmen serving us animal crackers and water while they ate pie and ice cream. .LO FRESHMAN RETURN RECEPTION Then came our turn. We .must give a return reception. An evening was set and a great many students were present. The room was decorated with maroon and gold paper. Many different games were played and the affair was concluded with refreshments of punch and wafers- .LQ CANDY SALES Nearly every organization put on a candy sale sometime during the school year. The returns from these sales were spent in various ways. The Fresh- men needed theirs to get out of d.ebt, the Seniors from going into debt. The Hypathian club used their money to revamp the Powder magazine. 15
