Several members of our class went out for basketball. Also Raymond Gibson received a football letter. As we lost in the contest of buying student body tickets, we owed the upper classes two parties, which we decided to give as one and make it twice as entertaining. We now have thirty-one days perfect attendance ar.d we are planning many good times for the spring. When we get to be sophomores next year the coming freshmen are to be pitied. Althoueh our class h-'d some trouble getting started it is one of wh:ch we are very proud. Page Twenty-five

Poem We hear a noise on the upstairs floor Where some poor freshman has been shown the door It makes no difference whether we stand or sit, For the seniors will say something or else they’ll split. We hear a voice on the ball ground say, “Here comes a freshie, get out of the way!” And don’t you know every doggone time We turn our back, we’re hit from behind. They always tell us we ought to wear green. Don’t you think that is awfully mean? 1 guess they’ll always play jokes on the frosh. So you just wait till we’re seniors, by gosh! --------®---------- History One sunny day last September we found ourselves inside the high school building, wondering what to do next. We were given a room down stairs for our assembly. At first we had some difficulty in finding our classes, hut we soon learned where to go. At our first class meeting we elected the following ollicers: president, Harold Carver; vice-president, John Dickson; secretary and treasurer, Donald Adams; sergeant-at-arms, Glenn Gibbs, who was later succeeded by Earl Fite; counci representative, Isabelle Bryant. We became quite curious when we heard the sophomores making plans for our initiation party, wh:ch was to be in tin form of a masquerade. We wrere slightly initiated, after which games were played and refreshments served. The party broke up at a late hour and a good time was enjoyed by all. We went home, feeling that ’nitiation parties were not so bad after all. At a later meeting we decided or. a return party for th'» entire student body; but as late hours are not in keeping with football rules, the party was rostnoned. At midyear we were joined by eight grammar school students. This brought the total number in our class up to forty-five. The bovs among thnse beg’nnirg freshmen were quite roughly treated by some of the upper classmen. Page Twenty-four

— Freshman Party Shortly after school began the sophomores, with the assistance of the upper classmen, gave the freshmen an initiation party, in the form of a masquerade, which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. The freshmen, following the custom, planned a return party. Due to so many games and other events it was put off from time to time. When the sale of second-semester student body tickets began there was a race between the different classes to see which could first have a one hundred per cent membership in the student body. The freshmen lost and therefore were obliged to entertain the rest of the school. They wisely decided to give the two parties in one and make it doublv enjovable. This was ejven Wednesday night. February 13, for the entire high school. Every one reported a good time. --------®--------- The Football Banquet On Friday evening, November 24, the junior and senior girls gave the football team, subs, coach, and faculty, a banquet at the Woodman Hall. The room was prettily decorated in red and blue. There was a football at each end of the long table and the place cards were made to resemble one. Miss Helen Deyoe was toast mistress. Several talks were given by the coach, subs, and members of the team. Many of the students remained after the banquet to dance. ---------@-------- Basketball Girls' Entertainment At the beginning of the basketball season, Mr. Bruer, a prominent merchant of our town, promised the girls a “feed” if they should win the Coos Countv Championship. So after the season was over and the girls had been successful in winning the Page Twenty-six
