THE OMNANNUS Page 30 The Freshman Class, ’16. The Freshman Class was organized finally after a special meeting called for the purpose of arousing class interest. Another meeting was immediately called overseen by Miss Koch, and officers were chosen. Strenuous election- eering was necessary to elect Walter Bean treasurer, because of the antici- pated overwhelming amount of coin, which did not come, however. In athletics the Freshman girls showed much skill in the interclass basket- ball games but were finally defeated in the championship game by the Sopho- mores. In the interclass debate that followed the Freshmen were defeated by the Sophomores. The debaters of the Freshman team were Clarence Lambert, Mattie Schofield and Isabelle Miller. A banquet was given after the debate by the Freshmen to the Sophomores in honor of the winning team. And good fellow- ship was thereafter assured. This was the first year that there has been a Freshman debating team. In track the Freshmen, combined with the Seniors, inflicted a crushing defeat on the Sophomores, thru the efforts of Glenn Conkey who is now recognized as the coming champion school athlete. The Freshmen were also combined with the Seniors in Literary and in this their performance was again creditable according to many visitors.

Our class has ever been guided by that talisman, hence our suc- cess in accomplishing everything we have set out to do. To be sure, our greatness is not of the spec- tacular kind recognized by the world at large, but ever since we were Fresh- men we have been a credit to our talisman. There is not a class in the High School but has felt the effect of our studious habits and altruistic spirit and has profited thereby. In the autumn of 1909 we entered the High School, sixteen strong. Early in that same year we organized. Olive Massee was chosen president and Milton Stoddard, vice-president. Besides electing officers we chose green and white as our class colors, and the white carnation as our class flower. For nine long months we struggled in the dark recesses of our Dooks. The monotony of our daily existence, however, was occasionally broken by the jokes of our history teacher and the interviews at the office which he forced upon us. In our Sophomore year our ranks were augmented by two new mem-
