THE MOUNTAIN EAR 15 Freshmen Histor The Freshmen started out to live up to their motto- On to Success. Some time during the first of school the fifty-two members as- sembled in Mr, Vincent's room and elected the following officers: President-Alex Corra. Vice President-Junior Hogue. Treasurer-Genta Wilson. Secretary-Mary Welch. Class Critic-Mrs. Vincent. The Freshmen have taken a great interest in all school activities. Most of them are members of one of the literary societies, tak- ing important parts in the programs, and five were on the joint program given at the gym- nasium. They showed unusual talent for Freshmen and gave the upper classmen a sur- prise when they entertained at chapel on three different occasions. One of the plays given at chapel, The Family Album, was acted later before a Parent-Teachers Meeting. Several Freshmen went out for athletics. They made a splendid showing and much is expected from them In their future high school years. On a test given to all the classes on- current events, the Freshmen class made the highest average, thus proving their ability to work and win success. But the Freshmen did-not work all the time. Some enjoyment must be had. Early in the fall a Weiner roast was much enjoyed and on the eleventh of May a party was held at the high school. The Freshmen do not have much history now but they expect to have some in the future that will make the high school proud of them. GENTA WILSON, '2fi.

Tun RIOUNTAIN EAR 17 Glee Club Among the various organizations of the high school are the two glee clubs-a girls' glee club and a boys' glee club-conducted by Miss Ruff. These organizations have done very creditable work. 'Phey have found the singing of songs arranged for more than one voice a difficult task, but they are gradually learning the art of listening to, as well as of thinking, musical tones. Besides, they are becoming acquainted with selections of character such that no boy or girl should leave public school without being familiar with. In other words, the study of music along with the other academic subjects is preparing them for a fuller and better living. A discussion of the glee clubs would not be complete without mentioning the assistance given by Mr. Ramsey in his efforts to adapt the schedule to their needs, Miss Mercer in singing with the club, Miss Henning for her splendid accompanying, and Miss Strickland for acting as dramatic director of the operetta. These organizations have sung at the Parent- Teachers' meetings, for the Woman's Club dur- ing their district convention, and will furnish the music for commencement. They also gave the operetta Miss Cherryblossomn which has been very highly commended and classed as one of the best productions that has ever been put on in the town,
