soohw wmowvug vw an The morning of September 5, 1939, found fifty-one big-eyed, wonder- ing freshmen rxlighting from the 'buses in front of Lemesters High School. Either 'by esking meekly where to go, 'by following the crowd hoping they were going our wey, or 'by looking so forlorn someone took pity on us end directed us to our destination, we finally lnnded in our home-room. How relieved we felt--until Mr. Hege gave us our schedules. Every class met in rv different room. The rooms were plninly marked on the schedules, 'but how were we to know where was ilhere '7 Mr. Hege was some help, but then he wos ne' too. Consequently we did plenty of blundering the first several weeks. By that time we had begun to learn the routine of high school life, so Mr- I-lege suggested we now elect officers to lead us in matters where group action was necessary. Thereupon we elected: Thomas Fries, President: Mary Feilor, vice president: Lorme Molbucas, secretary: Clair Brant, treasurer: and Richard McCullough, historian. On October 6 the sophomores threw a party for us. Its purpose, they said, Cpropagendalj was to welcome us into high school. We never before had heard of hosts WG1C0m1h'rL honor guests with blind- folds, 'bed-testing stuff, perechuteless jumps, hot pokers, and other quite shocking apparatus. To top it out we couldn't eat until we walked out to the center of the gym floor to accept e partner. We were so beshful that it took some persuading, 'but we finally did it 'because we were getting hungry. When the party was ell over. we rather mervelled that we hed come througx in one piece. 'Ve might have been introduced to high school ways and somewhat toughoned by the process, 'but it hr-d not improved our love for the sophomores, end it hed not squelchod us. Dick McCullough, who had received on oxtre dose of everything but the refreshments, was still e prodigy --CThat's his word for him.j Looking beck over our freshmen record, we realize we were out- standing in extra-curricular activities for our eges. We gave the school two pianists lest year--Helen Gift and Lorna Mc'Lucns. Also, we hended over the school's tnllest boy, Dick McFadden, for n. center on Coach He'ge's versitv 'brwsketboll terun. Tom Fries and Don Miller made Jeyvee moteriel. Pug -and Thelma Miller were subs on the girls' squad. In soccer Conch Hemil found varsity materiel in McFadden end Fries, end second team materiel in Miller. These three with Clair Brent constituted our contribution to the bnsebell squad. Few freshmen classes hed ever furnished helf so much first-string versity materiel.
