Why do they call us Freshmen? And why do they tease us so? Even grave Seniors were Freshmen once As the scornful Sophomores know. And what do they say we’re green? It’s not from lack of work! Heaven knows they give us enough, But Freshies never shirk. Then here’s to the patient Freshie! A Senior in three long years. We’ll look back on our Freshmen days With all their joys and tears.

1919 1919 TRANSCENDENTALIST THE FRESHMEN CLASS. The present Freshmen class entered the welcoming portals of the N. T. H. S. on Sept. 9, 1918, with forty-six members. Two more soon entered, making our number forty-eight. We were initated into the mysteries of the H. S., our blunders being corrected by the eager and watchful Sophomores. In our first meeting the following officers were elected:— Pres. Clifford Wyatt, Vice Pies. Stanley Willis ,Secretary-Treas. Evelyn Fender. Before the winter had begun, six of our little class had dropped out and, the class lost another member through the death of Mabel Kershaw, who died in a Chicago hospital. We were the first class in the school to reach the 100 per cent Red Cross membership, and we won most of the holidays offered for good attendance and punctuality. Our athletic teams were full of pep but they did not greatly distinguish themselves. In all things the Freshmen class is loyal to the H. S. and the class is an admirable follower, if not a leader in all the work of the school. C. F. FRESHMEN POEM. We, the Freshmen of our school Are clinging to the Golden Rule, As each day dawns with hoping light, We, the Freshmen, show our might. Famous fellows are in our class, Climbing upward to the mast. Now hopeless cases, have we, too, Such awkward ones as me and you. But still, as we climb up the mast The Famous, help the hopeless pass, And when we climb our fill, you’ll see Grave seniors we w'ill proudly be. We’ll wave our flag and shout afar, “We’ve hitched our wagon to a star.” —CARL LIVINGSTON. THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.
