THE FRE HMA CLASS ELL, here we are. As you gaze at the pictures on the opposite page, you see one of the best, the most intelligent and the most progressive Freshman Classes in the history of the Owego Free Academy. We may not look it, but you know it's the brains that count. Last September when we entered the school, we were skeered of them thar furriners, the Seniors. They were kind to us and for the first time in a number of years we were not initiated. Some of us had some difliculty getting around, at first, for we were unfamiliar with the school. When we were supposed to be walking into the Biology Lab. we walked brazenly into the Chemistry Lab. Now, however, we are so familiar with the building we could walk it in the clark. We showed our super wisdom when we held our first class meeting at which we elected Harold Arnold, President, Louis Bradley, Vice-President, Jennie Lou Ziemer, Secretary, Mary Ellen Donnelly, Treasurer: and Miss Sandford and Mr. Peabody as our class advisers. ' The Freshman girls organized a basketball team which played after school many nights against the Sophomores. Our boys didn't have so much to do in regard to basketball because they had too much competition from the older boys. Many, however, were on the football squad in the fall. The Freshman Class was well represented in the choir, and if they keep on they will be ahead of the high and mighty Seniors. There were many girls such as: Patricia hlallory, Eleanor Brown, Laura Foster, and Lucille Hoskins who were drum majorettes. They were so good they were asked to take part in the haughty Junior Floor Show held this spring. We did our best to make a good impression on the teachers. Even Mr. Hetherington will have to admit we did our best and Miss Sandford knows we know so much about short stories, dramas, and lyric poetry that we could probably teach a class ourselves. For something diH'erent we gathered together our nickels and dimes and gave the school a surprise by showing the Film, The Lady of the Lake. You see we didn't want to be the only ones not to do something for our school. We had a number of super intelligent students who were on the high honor roll all year. Most of us, however, were on honor roll, which is another feather in our cap. Well, now it is about time to close for, you see on account of the war, we are not supposed to use too much paper. However, next year be sure to look at the Sophomore picture in the Tom Tom and see how much we have improved in looks and read underneath how much more we have gained in intelli- gence.
