FROM A FRESHMAN'S DIARY DEAR DIARY: Sept. 5, 1939 was the turning point in my life. I enrolled in the class of '43 os a Freshmon. After answering about a million questions and signing my name to so many cards and papers that I hove no doubt as to my ability to write it backwards, upsidedown, and with my eyes shut, without omitting a single syllable, I was called a student of Montello High School. The building simply fascinated me during that first week of school. The enormous number of class rooms was overwhelming and every hour I was subjected to embarrassment by appearing at the wrong class at the right time. One doy I presented myself in Sophomore history for instruction in Freshman science. When Miss Scobie informed me of my blunder my face turned a dark reddish hue, and ever since that time, when I am embarrassed, I always have those outward symptoms. After that incident, I always followed the crowd. Some people think, and others say, that Freshies are pretty green. I ogree with both, because when it was announced in the Main Room that the Freshman Class would hold a meeting after school I received a severe attack of palsy which always strikes me at a time like this. After school I played follow the leader with seme of the Fresher of the Freshman and landed in the room where the meeting was alreody in order. Most of the Freshies didn't know a thing about holding a legal meeting or electing closs officers and we would probably still have been there voting if advisers Scobie and Hanson hadn't lent a hand. After much dickering the girls carried the elections with the following results: Marjorie Metcalf Marion Ransom Arlene Sommerfeldt Normo Metcalf President Vice President Secretary Treasurer

FROM A SOPHOMORE'S DIARY DEAR DIARY: Well, if the Freshies don't feel at home after that Welcome Party, it won't be any fault of ours. Lost night from four to six-thirty, we threw a party for them down on the Athletic Field. As a start- er offer the Sophs trimmed the Freshies in o baseball game by a margin of four points. Such hospi- tality! you say. The party was continued with a combined wiener and marshmallow roast. When the excitement wos over and the smoke had cleared away, all of the Freshmen drew a sigh of relief to know the crisis wos past and that they would not be given a hazing. Last week we held a meeting and it was decided that the class dues would be two-bits a throw for each semester. We consented to Advisers Petschel and Owen's suggestion of killing two birds with one stone, and elected the class officers. After about fifteen minutes of debating and election- eering we cast enough ballots to heat the Hilltop boilers for the next five years. From this the fol- lowing line-up emerged: Arlene Esselmen ------ President Desmond Cotter ------ Vice President Milton Schwartz ----- Secretary-Treasurer When the papers had been swept up and the noise had abated to a whisper; it was announced that we must appear at certain classes each day. Strange, isn't it, we hadn't thought of that. Let's see, now, what classes did I sign up for? Ummm! history, biology, algebra, English, and typing. That left out ag., home ec., and manual arts which some of my classmates preferred. After making my selections I noticed that I had a few periods left over, so to fill out my schedule I included phy. ed. press club, and band. Ho, hum! Such is the life of a Sophomore! ■0 Page Eleven tK
