in Ugczlzficfsst Speaking of the carnival, we have the Freshmen to thank for stir- ring up much of the student enthusiasm that advertised the event. Their posters and the public crowning of their candidates started the other classes to boosting their Kings and Queens. This class also takes the lead in the matter of class parties. The Seniors wait till commencement season to start doing things g the Juniors frugally save their pennies to put on the nicest banquet in ban- quet historyg the Sophomores let the movie stars entertain themg but the Freshmen hop into their own planes for a flight to Partyland. Such a night as they chose for their flight--the temperature hovering near thirty below, and a furious wind drifting the blinding snow. In spite of the protests of their elders, more than half of the class turned out. All is snug and warm in the auditorium, the ceiling is bright with balloons and planesg crepe paper helmets lend atmosphere, progressive games and program numbers keep hands and minds occupied. t'What matter how the night wind raves? The Freshmen are last, but not least in the matter of Class Day con- vocations. A huge book opens on the stage and as the pages are turned the outstanding events of the Freshman year are entertainingly review- ed. What does the future hold for this class? What honors will it bring to its school? What names will the individuals win for themselves? Per- haps a future governor of Nebraska noav sits in algebra class trying to figure out what X equals, or a second Babe Ruth rolls spit-balls in the study hall.

It has the distinction of being the biggest class in the history of Ord High School. It started with a registration of ninety- seven, but after the usual losses and gains of a term, approaches the close of school with an enrollment of ninety-four. Perhaps these figures an- swer the questions as to Why one invariably bumps into a Freshman, no matter which way he turns. There's so many of them you see, and they do make their presence felt as well as seen. Because of their large numbers and unusual talents this Freshman class has not been looked down upon by the upper classmen in the con- descending manner in which Freshies are sometimes viewed. Not many high school boys letter in football by the end of their first year, but Dick did-and the many Freshman huskies who turned out for football prac- tice promise to furnish the school with a championship team for the next three years to come. A Freshman Won three of the sub-district declam- atory contest sweep-stake points for Ord with her humorous reading. Vera and Mildred contributed much to the success of the Christmas play, Why the Chimes Ring . Look over the band, orchestra, and glee clubs and count the Freshmen you'll find there. Who forced Mr. Cass to fight for the ping-pong championship but a Freshie, and who won the honor of being Carnival King, but another Freshie?

The Eighth Graders try to appear quite nonchalant the first day to impress the newcomers, but in spite of outward appear- ances are really very proud to think that only one short nine-month term stands between them d Senior High School. Yes, they really are al- ready in high school, l A the students often forget that ours is a six-year high school and the feeling persists that there is a great gulf fixed be- tween the eighth and ninth grades. However, the Junior High folks go quietly about showing the Senior High people how useful they are in the scheme of things as they are, as well as necessary to the scheme of things as they will be. Consider what they contribute to the music of the school. Fifteen of them are found in the Senior Band and six in the Senior Orchestra, thirteen in the Junior Band and six in Junior Orchestra. They also provide a pianist to accompany the soloists in contest work. As to their part in public performances-don't you remember the pyramid building and tumbling stunts the gymnasium classes demon- strated at the basketball games? Surely you remember their contri- bution to the Christmas program, the play, The Lost Merry Christmas, and their convocation program, a variety show in which they featured a band, a skit, and several musical numbers. And don't forget the trim, white-clad messengers who went about the halls crying above the carni- val din, Te1egram! Paging Paul Blessing! They were Junior High
