' XVho are these seampering like frightened mice through the halls in the heginning ol the school year, humping into seniors and looking timidly at the teachers? XVhy. none other than the new freshmen fresh from iunior high. With much speed and alaerity, the largest freshman class in the history of Lansdowne descends upon us with enthusiasm and willingness to work and cooperate. Many freshmen have already ex- pressed their line talents in poetry, sports, and music. Faith Adams has had one ol? her poems accepted hy the National .Xnthology of High School Poetry. Iohn Salmon, another popular freshman, is also our versa- tile trumpeter who is a memher of Iohnny Clover's Orchestra, the school orchestra. and hand. Also. Bruce McCain is so keenly interested in sports that he partici- pates in everything from lioothall and hasketluall to liiffrru llouie room 5X,f1r.ff mfr: li. Navitt. I. Slit-perd, la. Shell, A.

S. hy attending the Father and Son party given hy the Honor Society, and hy the Freshman Tea. given hy the Girls' Hi-Y. Most of their class are memhers of the Victory Corps classes. During the memhership drive for the Iunior Red Cross, almost all the freshmen immediately enrolled, with Mr. l'ipley's and Mr. lileck- ner's rooms having a hundred per cent memhership. Thus the largest freshman class has heen initiated into the first year of high school lite. The freshmen and the upper classmen, too. all agree that they owe a great deal of their sueeess to Mr. Drake, their class adviser. Cood luck, Class ol' 1947, and tuay you con- tinue your fine reeordl

IS ESSENTIAL ' The freshman curricula introduce many new subiects totally strange to these unsettled newcomers. Foreign lan- guages intrigue them: commercial subjects puzzle them: math and history seem, at First, to floor them. The English course, although it includes some grammar, is comprised mainly of literature. Book worms revel in it, while comics' fans find it hard going in this classical Field. The mathe- maticians taking Algebra I and General Math I find both courses require a great deal of work and study. However, their motto is Never Say Die. In Iunior Business Training, afIectionately called I. B. T., Mr. Kraber explains the prin- ciples of interest and investment to future stenographers and ofhce clerks. In the language department, Latin students pore over long vocabularies and complex grammar. Trans- lations introduce such characters as Marcus and Iulia, typical Roman children. The beliefs and superstitions of the ancient Romans also comprise part of the first year Latin course. French I linguists often reply with blank looks to Miss Hoopes' questions or commands in French. It's not at all unusual to see someone opening a window, when he has been told distinctly, in French of course, to go to the black- board. Mrs. McConkey's Spanish I students will fit in per- fectly with the Good Neighbor Policy. When they conquer Spanish, they will be able to get jobs in Rio and commute from Lansdowne by helicopter. While fellow comrades struggle with their languages, others delve into the puzzling and mysterious class of General Science. Here they prove statements with experiments: then record their findings. Last, but not least, come the two half-year courses, Civics and Ancient History. In Civics, Mr. Coronway helps to make better citizens by teaching the students the fundamentals of our governmental system. Ancient History traces the develop- ment of man from his beginning until present day. It's fas- cinating to discover how many similarities there are between the past and the present. After a year in a course, such as any freshman takes, he is considered as a real Lanny or Lana Downes. Now he eagerly awaits the next batch of new arrivals, so he can chuckle over trials and tribulations he once knew.
