We began our exploration in the “Land of Knowledge” as freshmen, and now that we have come to the second stage of our journey, we rightly feel that we have discovered something of worth to us. Our class has twenty-nine members, all willing to go on. We feel proud of every one of them. Five boys and one girl have made the basket- ball squads and our class teams have made a record to be proud of. Our girls’ team tied with the freshmen girls for the championship. Another game was played in order to determine the winner. We won this game and a trophy was presented to our team by Mrs. Lemmel. During the course of the school year we presented a class program which was a success. It consisted of a five-act play with much humor; two songs which were sung and acted out by six girls ; and a short dia- logue, which showed the hardships of a foreigner learning the English language. We also have had our annual class parties. Our first party was given by the girls, somewhat in the form of a box social which was enjoyed by everyone. Toward the close of the school year the boys gave the girls of the class a party which also was enjoyed. Page twenty-two

THE MIRROR smsm m FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY OFFICERS Milton Shults President Ellen Boyd Anna Clara Sowards Mr. Houchin Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Sponsor Flower — Rose Colors — Blue and Gold Motto — Forward ever; backward never. We, who have just begun our life as high school students, have before us the task of proving ourselves worthy of mastering that which lies before us. At the beginning of the term we were initiated thoroughly into the ranks of freshmen by the sophomore class. At this time the high school was present. Our class began with an enrollment of thirty-eight members. Since then one has left the ranks of being a freshman, and two have moved out of this school district. We have one boy and three girls on the basketball squads and they are to be given credit for what they have accomplished in their first year of high school athletics. Two members of our class w r ere chosen to enter the sectional mathematics contest at Gary. During the year we had several parties, one at the beginning of the school year and one later. We also gave a class program, which w ' as made up of acrobatic stunts, negro dialogue, kitchen orchestra, piano and violin solos, vocal selection, and also a few other selections. It was a success and provided sufficient entertainment which pleased everyone. Page twenty-four
