These 81 wide-eyed Freshmen looked around this year and found themselves to be full fledged members of the Merrillville High School. They are now enjoying the privileges of such, even though they were the ' ' underdogs. The Seniors put them through the paces the night of the initiation and they are just waiting for their chance for revenge. This year for the first time, a Freshmen basketball team was organized. The cheerleaders chosen were: Joanne Powers, Barbara Keaton and Rosalie Sharp. A new method of collecting dues was installed; whereas, if the class dues are not paid, a twenty five cent fine a month is collected. The Freshmen gave a dance after the Freshmen Tourney which was a great success.
