They were the humble, low Freshmen, although not lacking spunk, afraid of their upper-classmen. It was a strange sight to see them meekly ask a teacher or a student where a certain locker could be found. In spite of these incidents they started out with vim and vigor, determined to show these upper-classmen what they could do to make their four years successful. The scholastic and athletic activities showed the Freshmen doing their part. They had charge of the Christmas program, rendered an enjoyable fashion show, and the Girls' Chorus sang a can- tata for Easter. These programs were enjoyed by all and showed the entertaining side of these students. Already two young boys, Ralph Wagner and Victor Dembrowski, have shown their athletic ability by playing on the Jay Vee team in basket- ball, and many others are following. Although the girls did not excel in athletics this year, there are a few prospects for future years. English Clubs and History Clubs have been organized in various sections. They have been active in their work, and also a few parties have been held with the money from the treasury. The determination to rank high has found its goal with a large percentage of the class. In the midst of a successful year, this class experienced a great sorrow by losing one of its members, Ernest Oniffery, who died of pneu- monia. The end of the school term brings to the close a happy and eventful year for the Fresh- men. This successful year will be their guide throughout the remainder of their High School career. The faculty of the High School will feel proud of the Class of ,39 for the spirit to make good, shown in entering, and the hope that this spirit will be carried through the remaining three years to a successful conclusion. -MILDRED OBERSON. fPage 761
