Yes, plain green, you may say, every one very green. But listen! As you know, it is the sparkling, brilliant green leaves which bloom in early spring and remain in prom- inence until the frost comes. So with the Freshies, only they remain in prominence forever. School began in September, just when the leaves of summer were beginning to fade. What would furnish that necessa-ry green to the surrounding landscape? The Freshies, of course! They are the ones who make things glow and blossom with life in a very short time. As soon as school began they selected their leaders and began organizing the class. They took definite steps towards planning parties, dances and little socials to be given during the school year. I The first party was a glorious success. Games were played in which all took part and refreshments, the best ever, were served. Then came a few socials at the students' homes, and dances given by the school. But the hit of the season was the Freshies' candy pull. It was a record- breakerf' Even the boys made candy! Along about that time came the basketball games. Three of the school players were Freshies and for a time the. class gave up parties and began following up the basketball games. Never did boys play harder than the three Freshie boys. - As the basketball season drew toward an end, the Freshies wanted another party. Talk about popular! Why, they were all so busy trying to fill out their invitations to other places that they had to wait until Easter before an opportunity for a party presented itself. That one was the crowning triumph. Such a picnic, and such a crowd! Several took their cameras and many curious snapshots were taken during the excur7 sion, for such it was. They roamed over several foothills and clambered over some almost impenetrable cliffs. But the best part was the ball game. The girls played against the boys, and gained an indisputable victory. That night they returned home, tired and hungry, but happy and ready for any other excitement that might turn up. A CINCH. How does Lola manage to preserve her complexion so well? Easily.
