How many times we were hailed as f'Scrubs,' on that September afternoon, few would have been able to ascer- tain, but, once inside that awesome building, we were left to our own devices, all, all, alone. VVith what pride we marched. from one to another of the rooms that had been vacated only a short time before by our Upper Classmen. 'We soon heard of the Athletic Association and of various clubs in the school, but when the announcement of the dance was made, which was to be given by the Alpha Alpha Sorority and the Alpha Delta Sigma Fraternity, to help pay the large debt incurred by the Boys' Athletic Association, it was only as a dream to us, as t'Scrubs were not supposed to go., but must wait until they were old enough to join the ranks of Sophomores. Before long, how- ever, the girls of the three societies gave afternoon teas, and the Freshmen girls were only excluded from the B. T. - tea, but later in the year, one was given especially for them.
