Dear Friends: As we have a few minutes we will tell you about the Freshmen. We are a large family (49) in all, but very well mannered. This is the best class I have struck yet. Yc get laughed at but we don’t care. We are used to it, and had the joy of revenge with our breeze. ()n 1 lallowe'en we were given an initiation party where every one of the upper classmen had a whack at us. They locked us in the basement, forced us to climb over wire, boards, fences, etc., set us in water, forced raw oysters and salt and pepper soup down our throats with other equally delicious things. And 1 hope everyone didn’t have as good a time as we did. We had a class meeting and elected Robert Olson, Ira Peterson, and Walter Iverson, as our officers, and selected Maroon and Gold as our colors, and the tulip as our flower. Three of the Freshmen boys should receive credit for their work on the basketball and football teams. On the evening of February twentieth the Freshmen decided to give a party, which was well attended, in spite of the stormy weather. The lunchroom and tables were decorated in Red, White and Blue, games were played and lunch was served, and everyone reported a good time. One day, not long ago, the photographer came to take our pictures. (Everyone was so nervous.) Regardless of the fact that we were excited, we didn’t have our pictures taken over again like some of our friends. A rule was made that everyone who receives an “A” for a subject will not have to take a test in that subject, and I think we are all working harder. Under the direction of Miss VanCampen, our class advisor, we expect to lie a better class, so you will hear more of us next year. Yours truly, Freshmen of ’23-’24. Women may be a puzzle, but fetu men arc willing to give them up. -29-
