On a certain Monday morn- ing of the month of August l92l, there came up the steps of Liber- ty Union High School, thirty- eight of the greenest and most innocent Freshmen that that school has ever known. With just one look at us Mr. Nash could tell that we were of very high intelligencea' As soon as the bell rang we were told to go to the English room. How in the world could we mind our teacher when we didn't know where that room was? Some of the upper classmen came to our aid and herded us into the right place. The teacher in charge told us that her name was Miss Holder, and that she was to be our Major Room teacher for the rest of the year. Of course we all knew what a Major Room was! Mr. Nash came and told us what our duties to the school wereg and that he hoped we wouldn't throw chalk, etc. After his talk he told us that when the bell rang we were to go to our classes, the periods were to be l5 minutesj then we would all adjourn to the auditorium. It was a terrible struggle to find our right class room. We stuck our heads in every door and a stern voice would say, H0utsidej Freshmanln Finally each of us got into the right place. , As time passed we became more accustomed to our surroundings. Then one day came the glad tiding nThe freshmen are going to be in- .itiated.H Chl for home and lMother. Rouge was put on our our hair in tight little pig tails, Then we vvc'1'c marched down the hallway where we mat the boys. They looked worse than we did, if possible. We had to go to class looking as we did, and so we promptly were ut P out with the firm command, NDC . ever again come in here looking like that.U We hoped that we wouldn't. The next thing on our pro- gram was election of class of- ficers. Kathryn Jacoby was el- ected President, Willma Dainty and Ray Houston to Student Af- fairs, and Angelo Bailey Vice President. We were very proud of ourselves to think that we now were an organized body. A The next great event of our lives was the Freshmen Recepti We certainly entertained the T audience that night. We ate A pie, and crackers, we proposed A to girls or boys, we had boxing matchesg we really did every- thing. After that we were stu- dent body members fair and A square. A We had no more social events l of our very own that year for the Freshmen are Freshmen. At the end of the year we alll had grades of ones and twos on A our cards and Mr. Nash knew that. his first impression of us was correct. We aged greatly in this one short year. August l922 was the beginning of the next great step in our H educational career. We thought we were really scmeonc,since we were Sophomores. The upper cl men took this conceit out of us 3 by saying that a Sophomore was- j Ona ass ilE'?.?4Y?QiF5e, g ...ict ,ea

- A few days aft of school we held Willma Dainty was dent, Floyd Ruehl Geraldine'Sherman T' r the opening class election. elected Erasi- vice prcsilentg Secretary and Treasurer, Marie Heidorn ard Pay Houston as representatives to Student Affairs. After the election we settled down in earnest so that we might walk away with any Scholarships that good old L.U.H.S. might of- fer., And we did do just that. We really were a wonderful class. Whenever an inspector of any kind or denomination came to school Mr. Nash always brought them to the Sophomore Major Room. In Major period you could hear a pin drop. Yes, two of them. Our Sophomore Hop was the greatest ever known. The decor- ations were.gorgeousg the light- ing effect marvelousg the floor gloriousg the orchestra heavenly. One cannot find adjectives to describe randeur of the enter- G S tainment of the evening. Oh! the write-up we received in the New York papers and in the Society columns of the London apers, We received letters from reat society leaders from all o- er the world asking us for sug- estions for parties, etc. For the rest of the year we ibernated on our fame but never ecame conceited, No, never. Now comes our Junior year. Wonderful were we indeed, for eren't we Juniors. Of course, uniors nowadays don't amount to uch. At least we don't think so Four our officers we had Pres- dent, Angelo Baileyg vice, pres- dent, Frank Nixon, Secy. and reasurer, Oscar Wilfertg Sergeant at Arms, Aubrey Lawrence. And ' 'or Student Affairs, Willma Dain- .y and Henry Karrer. This was a year of activities. 'veryone looked up to us. They ever did anything without asking ,ur permission or advice. And rtill we weren't conceited. At east, I wasn't. .-We gave food sales. They were ight and left, people could not ecm to get enough of our lunches i, 1 Sadgnftl 1gn5w'buJQ itttlgdegewwg are A good cooks. Finally Mr. Nash said that we were working too hard and if our class needed money at any time the Trustees were more than willing to give us plenty. Of course we refused i I s P I for we wouldn't do anything like' that, And also we got joy out of working. Very wonderful, in- deed. Then comes our Junior Prom. I simply cannot describe it for I have used up all possible ad- jectives on the Sophomore Hop. The only thing I have to say for it is that we received a call for Gilda Gray asking if she might copy our decorations when she put on her next act. Glor- ious was our fame. Still we were not conceited. Ah, now comes the most wonder ful year of all. Dignified Seniors--very dignified. The Courses were scheduled any 1 way we wanted them, so that we might get in all the subjects that we wanted to take. Mr. Nas told us that we need come to school only when we wanted to. We came every day. As the trustees were still supplying us with money we did not need to corrupt our dignity by giving sales, but began right on our play, that had elected Geral- as president, Mor- as viceg and Vivie- away to work is, after we dine Sherman gan O'Conner nnc Lavere Secretary and , Treasurer. Mr. Spindt was our coach for the play Hseventeenu by Booth Tarkington. As a coach he rival the worlds greatest, and if he cared to go on with this as a career, there is no doubt that he would become the greatest. He actually received an offer from Zcigfield. HSeventeenH was put on by a marvelous cast. It takes intel- ligence to put on a play like that, so I guess that is the reason. Really there is no doub but that is true. After the last curtain of the play a man came behind stage and J: l4r 7 4 1, r, g l ' I , ! h S t frnrgilf J u-:L ,, 11 ll ,
