We're a heterogeneous conglomeration of students pursuing the Freshman course of study at the New Haven Hillhouse High School. And yet they' call us scrubs ! Henry Rapuano, looking for Room 21, loses himself in the wilds of the Science Lecture Hall, and is about to turn on the gas, when joe Nichols appears and teaches him manners. Rap is not the only one who gets lost. Everyone does it. It's the popular Freshman fad. Still everybody finds the Lunch Room easily enough-especially Jerry,' Sagalg and Dorothy Morris, and Fred Beck. The football team gets started. Johnny Johnson and Gardner Crabb are two good reasons for the team's victories. jim Birney buys six car-tickets for five cents. Fare exchange, says Jim. Debating Society organized. Thousands of Fresh- men join-well, at least twenty-five or thirty. Spencer Hoyt is elected President. CAll the voters were scared by his long pantsj Vtfeekly debates begin-not always weakly. Irving Goldbaum gets oratorical. He wonders why his side loses the debate. Saul Gamer starts the Herzl Society. He doesn't realize what he is starting. Report cards are issued. Some get all A's. Others do not. Motto Club is formed. Ellwood Travis is made Presidentg Edna Lane, Secretary. Freshman Class marches through halls in straight lines. Freshman Class turns corners at right angles. Sophomores wonder. Juniors wonder. V Seniors wonder. That Motto Club sure is a wonder. A great act of heroism takes place. Fred Beck runs all around the Gym without stopping even once! Fred will do anything on a dare.

Motto Club has party in Gym. Roman Mercer leads the Grand March. Susie Pardoll is the belle of the occasion. Dec. 17, 1919! An historic occasion. First issue of The Sentinel. Every Freshman buys a copy. Feels proud of N. H. H. S. All resolve to win Sen-M1101 Charms. Resolutions soon forgotten. Announcement made! No re- . 4 , ports until january. All are sorry-except Fifteen hundred Freshmen. Motto Club presents Christmas Carol for entertainment Cno sarcasmj of assembly. Sam Zetumer portrays Tiny Tim to perfection, while Spencer Hoyt haunts Ellwood Travis. Pierce Maher and Roman Mercer are official stage managers. Best actors on the cast. Freshmen applaud loud and long when play is over. Christmas vacation. tGood opportunity to make up back work.j XVI N TER TERM Milton Irwin Newman sends New Year cards to all his teachers.
