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

Everytime I go to a Girls' Chorus party, I come home feeling like a stuffed toad, having stowed away enough food to feed an army. There were loads of sand- wiches, baked beans, pickles, jello, and cake; with pop to wash it down. With all of the talk about food, I nearly forgot to mention the purpose of this great splurge. It was the initiation party for the new members at which we gave them a welcome into the Chorus such as they won't forget for a while. I'll always remember the way some of those new members dramatized their assigned songs. Under the leadership of our director, Miss Neperud, we made our debut to society on November 1 1, at the all-city Armistice program in the City Hall. We also contributed to the festivity of the Christmas holidays both ot the Community Tree, and also at the assembly progrom in school. As long as there were officers for every other Hilltop group, we thought it no more than right that we also elect a few. And it happened that the Leaders of the Warblers for this year became Presi- dent, Betty Ann Cartwright; Vice President, Marie Collins; Secretary, Desire Hardell; and Treas- urer, Meryl Ritchie. While most of our efforts were along the line of three-port octaves, for the last few Tuesdays (we meet every Tuesday), we have been yodeling on some popular pieces. Of course, none of us com- plained about that becouse we always hove been a little inclined toward that sort of thing. 3 Poge Fourteen |
