w?an; F reshman Class History Many years ugtieten to he exactetwo of our present number frolickcd through guy Kindergarten days. Archy Acciacca and Eleanor Koss were cute little youngsters, and built their blocks so nicely and played their games so well that soon they were pro- moted into the ranks of the first grade. There they were joined by Marie Truvinakar and together the three learned their A B Us. The next year Margaret Dzienis made it a happy quartet, and each succeeding year added others. third grade; Cornelia DuPon, M a r t h :1 James Avery entered in the Dzienis and Clarence Lewis came into the group in the fourth grade; then they wel- comed Herbert Jacksonj Blossom Dickinson, Lloyd hIcLatcher and Bernice VanMeter. Grace Anderson joined them the next year; Virginia Oak, Howard Kopp, John Shea, tVarrcn Little, Lewis Austin and DeForest Payne entered in the seventh grade; the eighth year brought Henry Lawson and Ber- nadette Doyle into their midst. Then came the beginning of High School days and Stella Othen, Richard Doyle, Wyellington Barr, Dorothy Inson and Morris Cook were given places in the High School session room in the ninth grade section. We thought we had reached maturity and dignity at last. But evidently others had different opinions, for to our surprise we were called Freshios and bright green ones at that, Somewhat ohagrined that made us and not quite so sure of ourselves, but finally we resolved to show those superior upper-Classmen just what we could do. ACv cordiugly, we organized our class for busi- ness, selected officers and committees and set about to prove our worth. Every enter- tainment and school activityebuskethall, baseball, glee club and othersVehas found some of the tiFreshiesh taking part, and the rest vigorously supporting it. Our studies, H Hi J! TIMHSF; :4 too, have not suffered, and the honor roll claims a good percentage of our group. Just as we are about to emerge from that state of greenuess as iiFreshies, the upper classes have acknowledged our ability and earnest- ness. But we are not loathe to go on, for we know greater oltiportunities await.
