At first we were busy learning the way to our classes and the regulations we were expect- ed to follow. Our first activity as a class was to elect our officerse Billy Daley for presidentg Harold O'Connor for vice-president: Victor Nottingham for secree taryp and Carl Wilson for treasurer. Miss Outzs was chosen for sponsor. Then came initiation, happily for only one day, with costumes, bowing, and carrying books and especially cushions for the seniors. Kangaroo court was the climax of this with the seniors commending us for our sportsmanship and making us display our talents for singing and dancing. Later they entertained us with a dance and refreshments and then we felt we were full-fledged Oilers By several sales we raised money for our treasury and in April gave a party in honor of the seniors. All the school was invited and we served them ice cream and cake. Several of the boys in the class won letters in football and Victor Nottingham was manager for the tootball team. The class was prompt to buy its share of War bonds and stamps. So with still more plans tor the next year, we ended our year as freshmen.
