M. H. S. Tar: BI7'1'1'E 21 Freshman Class Clnxss FI.owi-:R--Pin-k Rose CLASS Cotons-Salmon Pink and Gold CLASS Mofirro--4 us 2 B2 is Z B natural NOTES HE industrious Class of Twenty-seven started to Melba High last fall with great enthusiasm. In a series of meetings we elected Raymond May, President, Ernest Eberhard, Vice President, Raymond Herman, Secretary-Treasurer, Mabel Palmer, Student Council representative and news reporter, VVendell Morse, Staff representa- tive and yell leader, and Glenn Hall, Sergeant at Arms. Our first initiation into society was given us by the Sophomore Class. We were much amazed to find that instead of leaving us in the corner of neglect they did their best to entertain us. During the party we sometimes felt ill at ease because of the so-called table manners and other new and clever methods of entertainment. But we did our best to be good sports and to become acquainted with these new ways. During the first part of the evening each class gave a stunt. We were told later that our stunt was best, proving that we were not behind in all things. We gave a return party November second . It did not turn out as we had planned but everyone seemed to enjoy himself. At this party we had the Melba High school assembly room decorated with pumpkins, corn stalks and yellow and black paper. Much of the success of our party was due to the clever fortune tellers from Nampa . Refreshments of cake, doughnuts, and lemonade were served . The Freshman boys are very good at playing basketball, football and baseball. During November they challenged the High School board to a game of basketball. The game came out thirteen to fourteen in favor of the Freshmen. They boys said, It was nothing to boast about, but actions speak louder than words. We have really done very little for our honor and glory this year. But we are planning many things for the coming years. Watch us grow in knowledge and fame. -M. A. Palmer. Freshman Wisdom VVe ain't been along the road as fur as some But she's kep a-gittin' better as we've come 'Twill be better still next year sure as we're a sittin' here Lookin' back we'll see some mountains we have clumb. The sight of them will encourage us to press on with renewed vigor and absorb more know- ledge and wisdom. Next year we will no longer be ignorant Freshmen, but Sophomores, not that they are praiseworthy of course, but when we get there it will be different. They say that ignorance is bliss, but that depends greatly upon who the ignorant one is, you or the other fellow. We will achieve happiness in a nobler way. The conquering of stubborn unscrupulous studies is far more pleasant than decaying in ignorance. Though oppressed as we are, and have been, by the cruel and domineering Sopho- moresg we, being the most forgiving and generous class in the school, will overlook their glaring faults and wait patiently till next year. Then we will vindicate ourselves on the coming Freshmen. In the meantime we must overcome the languidness and restlessness of spring fever, that ravishing plague to the struggling student. We must also complete our studies so that we may accomplish this praiseworthy end. Are we ignorant? No man knows so much that he can not learn. The wise Seniors go to college, and lol They are ignorant Freshmen again. The college graduates go out into the world and find that in the hard school of experience they have many things to learn. Are we green? The best fruit is green before it ripens. Are we uneducated? Onlv fools com- plete their education. No man knows everything! He may know a few things quite well, but there are others of which he is ignorant. Even we Freshman know things the Seniors do not. But be that as it may the Freshmen Class is the best in the school this year. -W. .lin-rse.
