Freshman History SINCE this is our first ear in cullcgL-, our histciry is very sluirt; althdugh a few of lis entered as Preps, last year, and being successful, entered as P ' reshmen this year. On account of the lack of pluck in the Soph, boys, and the Fresh, boys having so much grit, the Fresh, boys were not visitefl l)y the Sophs. In September we held our first class meeting, organizing our class, and electing the following officers: F. J. Eller, president; Rena lluitt, vice-president, and Lola Henderson, secretary. Other officers were elected later. The Freshman bo ' s were well represented in Athletics, many of them taking an active part, and Freshmen were seen on both ' Varsity football and baseball teams. The Freshman girls are active in their work, being ]irominent in the Music, Art, and Expression departments. The girls outnumber the boys two lo one. there being twenty girls and nine boys; but when call night comes, the Juniors and Seniors are on hand and the poor Freshman boys are compelled to stand back. We shall be back on hand next year ready to fulfill our duties, and make a record in the Soph. year. . Historian.

Fresh man r oem We are only jolly Freshmen Jus ' got in this year ; An. ' of course, you can ' t expect Soniethin ' great from us to hear. But next year we ' ll be Sophs., The wise old owls they say: An ' the next year we ' ll be Jrs. An ' that ' s gettin ' a right fur way. The next year we ' ll be through — Oh, you jus ' wait an ' see; Lenoir she ' ll be proud of us, Like she oughter be. Folks ain ' t noticed us much yet. Do they think we keer? We throw our heads and pass on by Watchin ' our rnvn welfare. You can yell for all your classes. For your ' lebens, tens, and nines ; But you wait till we be Srs., You ' ll see a class that ' s tine. There are lots of other things We just won ' t try to tell ; We just ain ' t got no use for praise, We don ' t believe it ' s well. Now in tliis here little rliyme, We ain ' t half done our best; ' Cause it ' ud make the Srs. mad To be below the rest. Nothing gaudy will we have. Ours must be a modest fight ; Even in getting class colors. We took plain Red and White. But all along these bright school years. We shall remember only this : Sure the Reward of the Faithful, Theirs is a heaven of bliss. — M.- RY NUSSMAN, Poci.
