And-to further employ the vernacular of the Cinder artists, -the yearling cubs, offspring of O.H.S.'s black bear, Old Pepper, ffreshmen to the general publicj warmed up to the task of taking a lap around a school year crammed with activities and social affairs to the tunes of the latest hit-numbers at the soph-frosh mixer held in the gym in the early part of the year. At one of the first assemblies the youngsters literally jumped the gun and certainly shook a little school spirit into the students as a whole by a spontaneous session of yells directed and supervised by their spunky, diminutive yell leader, Dale Hume. They ran an outstanding race throughout the year. Some of their classmates won considerable attention because of their special musical talents, some even made themselves felt in the stiff competition of major sports, and some ex- celled scholastically, And to round the year out, they finished the first lap of their four-year journey with a surprising sprint that came in the form of a well-balanced, well- directed class assembly. Yes sir. The peppy, clear-eyed shelf dwellers sailed neat- ly over the hurdle of first year problems and terrors, cleared the Lack of Spirit puddle, refused to be cowed by the fact that freshmen are always the butt of the school's fun- niest jokes-and when the race was over they were right up with the leaders.

Lucie Jean Morris was general chairman. The script was written by Dolores Andresen, Bette Pritchard and Elmore Buringrud. A Mid corn stalks and grinning pumpkins, the sophs welcomed the frosh into school activities at a mixer in the autumn, under the guidance of Shirley Moore, general chairman.
