I,vSagc reshmzn ups It was in the month of September in the year 1929 that a set of charming young boys came dashing into Lourdes High, and were promoted to the room now occupied by the Freshmen. In the first five minutes of our high school career, we were taught that the Freshman motto is Study must come firstu. Immediately a battle took place between the Freshmen, commanded by Lieutenant Ray Blasky, and the hard studies, commanded by Major Latin. Sister told us that if we were brave and not afraid of the enemy, we would conquer them in about a month. We started out and fought with all our might, and in a short time we overcame them completely by surpise. They immediately surrendered because they knew they were conquered. About four months after this battle the enemy came back, led by a new and intelligent commander called General Exam, who decided to completely defeat us. He had four troops named Algebra, English, Latin, and History. There were about one thousand men in each troop. We fought and fought and captured the Algebra, English. and History troops. The other escaped by the skill of the general. We all sailed to Rome the following week and captured it without any trouble. We are all glad the war is over and we are looking forward to a successful campaign against the troops in the Sophomore year. Rom-:ar Meri-ins, '33, EL1moN NEMMETZ, '33, Page twenty seven

Joyce reshmen iris Did you notice the difference in Lourdes High this year? Surely no one will deny that we Freshmen made school days brighter. Although at first very shy and really green as a well-kept lawn, we took the places assigned. During the first few weeks we sincerely wished that the upper classes would have made a firm resolution not to annoy the Freshies. The opening act of the play High School Life was well begun. Soon we became ac- customed to the new schedule and new studies. It will be a long time before we forget the thrill of that first Assembly and Class meeting. We passed through so many new experiences in a short time that our poor heads were left almost in a whirl. Then clubs were organized. More excitement! Just before Christmas several classes entertained us with delightful programs. After a pleasant vacation we experienced the calm that usually precedes a storm. lt was the time for the Revival of Learning for EXAMS. We were afraid that the Climax of the drama had been reached and that now would come the Falling Action. Crash! We deceived ourselves. The storm passed over without harm. Now we are looking forward to the next examinations with delight, for after that won't we be full-fledged Sophomores? The trials of Freshies are over. However, the trials are completely overshadowed by beautiful memories. We look forward to next year with the hope that it will be as happy and as successful as our Freshman Year.
