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

The class started with twenty mem- bers. We now have twenty-one, one having entered not long after the beginning of the school year. We enjoyed several class parties and did our part in putting on a class variety program. Having finished our eighth year in school, we hope soon to take up the role of freshmen. Page twenty-six
