History of the Freshman Class One beautiful day last autumn, we found ourselves in a large room, the recipients of many curious glances from students who wished to view the new “Frosh.” After a short assembly we were ushered to our new home, the Freshmen assembly. At our first business meeting we elected the following officers: president, Shirley Carter; vice-president, Elda Laird; secretary and treasurer, lone Murphy; sergeant-at-arms, William Baker; Council representative, Francis Keltner; class advisor, Miss Coe. The class colors chosen were light blue and gold. We were getting along nicely until some of the upper class-men began to tell us of our initiation which we were to receive in the future. After the initiation we were greatly relieved, for the treatment which we recieved was not as severe as it might have been. The refreshments that were served helped bring back the broken spirits of most of the freshmen. As is the custom we gave the student body a return party for the initiation program. The freshmen decided on a masquerade party which was greatly enjoyed by all who attended. At the close of the first semester we were joined by twenty pupils from the Grammar school, this making the number in our class forty-one. The freshmen class was not far behind in athletics. In football we were represented by Francis Keltner, a very able tackle. We also hope to make a good showing in track. In order to give other members of the class a chance, we elected officers again the second semester, this resulted in the following: Elda Laird, president; Francis Keltner, vice president; William Baker, secretary-treasurer; Golan Dietz and Chester Hosman, sergeant-at-arms; and Shirley Carter, council representative. Although we are freshmen, we have the pep and enthusiasm that spells success, and we are going to let the other classes know it. Although our goal is set high, we aim to achieve our end, and we will.
