 The Freshmen class opened tlie year oi‘ 1912 and ’13 with the membership of thirty-two, but for various reasons the following have had to quit school: Mamie Lovell, Susie Farris, James Farris, Louis Odgen, Yerner Roberts, Edna Kidder and Edison Kidder. The class organized the second week of school, electing the following officers: Harry Pike, president; Marjorie Snider, secretary and treasurer. In the fall the girls and boys formed a basket-ball team, the boys winning the Championship of the High School. The team was as follows: Perry Miller and John Deland, forwards; Albert Timm center and Roy Horst and Russel v‘-guards. When we first entered High School, wo thought that High School life was a long sweet dream. We soon changed our minds when the lessons were assigned. I believe algebra was the most puzzling thing we “Freshies” ever came in contact with, and Latin proved almost as hard. We all vowed never to forgive the man who wrote the Latin book. Physiography was interesting, especially the “field trips.” English wras changeable but most of the time “dry.” Although during our Freshman year we may, have done many foolish things, we are sure the older students will overlook them. All Freshmen are “green” when entering High School, as you all know by experience. We were constantly annoyed by the older students of the school, but we soon came to the conclusion that they knew no better, and we heartly forgive them. We all sympathize with the Seniors who leave the “Dear Old High” and we are certainly glad we can stay a few more years and make the class of 191(5 a class not to he forgotten. RUSSELL M. CIARK, ’16.

But alas, he awoke, and the son now shone down i And was toasting his nose to a nice red and brown. The next day the skin all peeled from his nose, And we now call him Peeler as everyone knows. Now classmates you see I hold you dear. Right up in my brain in my memory here. With a word of Good-bye I shall now have to close, For something tells me, I must blow my nose. —LAWRENCE SHAW, ’15. £t»tycx‘iutcnfc cut’a (Office
