Eiztnrg nf Gilman nf 1913 Look at us now! You would never drea in that 'we were 'onee just plain fresh- inen. But ot' eourse we were and -there are those who have iheen heard to say that we were ever green freshies, too. That was away 'haeli in 1909. On the fifth dav ot' August ot' that year we entered lligh Seliool an eager elasis ot' thirteen students. Were .we superstitious over the double thirteen, the enrolhnent and year? Not a shit. YYe were undaunted hy sneh trit'les and ,bravely 'began to study even the hated Latin and German. Marsh Vreelc gave our elass a goodly nuinher ot' fine looking girls-Annie. Win- nie. .Vlnm and Edith t'aliehreaid and Eiinilie Gl'llllllfL'Pl'. But eonditions niade it iin- fpossilhle t'oi' thein all to stay very long' with us. Annie.

And the oldest was married in Septenrher, 1910 to Mir. -liav Jones, and is now residing in ,Slot-lqton. llowever, we have our one 't'a.keln'eaid with uis yetgoui' dark-eyed lidilh.

Brentwood sent seven students for our elassflllstlier Muivphey. Ruth Pemberton. Harold t'ol'lis, Yan Prinee. Frank Helm, ltiehard and Elaine lvallaee. 'Of these only one 'has dropped out of sehool.

Frank is working in an offiee in Oaililanid and Van is very ihusy in Brent- wood. Poor health t'oreed Esther Murphey to leave us for 21 year and it is xvfth re- gret that we give her 'brains to191-l. The others are strug'g'liiig' on with the 'help ot' Everett Lernoine who joined in our seeond year. and ot' Manta l'utr-amp and YYill Mac-gnrn who east their lot with us th-is year.

creased and at last eqnaled. The body organized at the tbeginning of the Second semester. Misses Mary Parenti a11d -Sula Putcaimp were elected to the offices of president and secretary respectively. The '14 class was well represented in t-he tSenior Farce -by Miss 'Putt-amp and Mr. Hoffman. Our class is also athletic, participat- ing in tennis, basket ball and baseball. They were represented in the track meet hy Ma cf' a rt y. 1Ve gave a reception and dance in honor of the Seniors in March and we feel that we are capital entertainers. The Seniors tried to ridicule our glorious class but we got the laugh on them. S. D. '14. Lfiiatnrg nf the Zlirezhmm On the seventh of August. 1911 there entered into the Liberty Vnion High School a class of fifteen Freshmen. There were Freshies of every description. tall Fresthies and slinn ones, fat Freshies and short ones. As we entered we were greeted witl1 cries of Oh you Freshiesf' What a sweet little Freshie and similar gieetings, some of which we returned as saulcily as they were given. At first we had a rather unpleasant time. Everything' was strange and we made many blunders such as wandering into the wrong- claiss room. speaking' when we shouldn't. etc. The upper elassmen treated us like we were balbies until they discovered that we real'ly did have brains. Our respect and fear for them gradually decreased as we know them better. The Seniors showed their gootl will bv 1-'ivine' us a reception in our 'honor at which we consumed untold quantities of ca.ke and sherbert. Now we know better and behave as 'well as anyone. The fSenior girls were very desirous of initiating IIS until one day the oppor- tunity presented itself. lt was the day of the watermelon feed in the basement. Suddenly some one shwuted Now's our chance and they rushed towards us. brandishing' their melon rinds and yelling madly. When they had finished. 'there was melon in our mouths, eyes, noses and in our hair. Hur dresses were utterly demolished. As a climax the Seniors were going' 'to tie us up but one of the teachers interfered and we escaped. All this for the girls. Meanwhile the boys were suffering. especially the smaller ones. Not a day passed Without someone being ducked in the trough or tied in the tank hou-se until some one rescued him. 'Finally all the students -ceased both- ering' us and we were allowed To exist in peace. XVe were however blamed for everything' that happened. however much we raised our hands in horror and our voices in protest. The Liberty Strike was the onfly thing' for which we weren't blamed. This occurred on the twelfth of February. All decided to play t1'uant. To celebrate the day. There were a few mur- murs about the Freshmen being' left at home. but we promised to be :trod so they relented. 1Yhat a glorious time 'we had! Never before had we done such a naughty tliingx How our little conscience did prick at times. As 1 remarked ,before we were not blamed for this escapade. After suffering' a week's punishment we decided not to attempt anything' similar again. 1-'rom that day we have been as good as possible and from all indications we will make as conceited hophomores as the lnost conceited of the t'1:lss of 1511-1. li' l-I '13
