What the Freshmen Think of the Freshmen On September the first there could be seen many bewildered looking boys and girls in the corridors of old Nokomis High. After teaching Miss Gibson more addition and subtraction, one hundred four students were enrolled as new freshmen. We immediately organized into a class and chose Mr. Myers, sponsor; Larry Smith, president; Billy Pepas, vice-president; and Mildred Wattjes, secretary-treasurer, to help us solve the question, What ore we to do? We had a wiener-roast and became fast friends with our new acquaintances. On December 19, the sophomores invited us to a Christmas dance—we were now standbys for N.T. H.S. We added to the football squad such members as William Pepas, Lean Ryan, Robert Hunter, Floyd Bevill and Walter Middleton. Also, we contributed our share of members to the basketball team: William Pepas, Lean Ryan, Clifford Kapilla, Robert Hunter, Billy Jenkins, Harry and Larry Smith, Floyd Bevill, Merle Kottwitz, and Clayton Zepp. The orchestra was indebted to our class for two members: Harry Smith and Vanda Compagni, and the chorus for four members: Claralena Opperman, Merwyn Pieper, Betty Pyle, and Goldie Stanley. In the all-school play we were represented by Joe Seeburger and Jane Lee Carr. Although the seniors think us infants; the juniors, horrid little pests; the sophomores, just green-freshies, we freshmen know we shall be Adders to dear old N.T. H.S. J. L. C. and I. M. Sponsor: Mr Myers. Motto: The elevator to success is not running; take the stairs. Colors: Purple and Gold. Flower: Orchid.
