34 THE PETONIAN FRESHMEN INITIATION The Freshmen were initiated into higher ranks September 19, 1923. They took the affair in a very cheerful manner although they had been looking forward to this eventful day with terrible dread of what might happen. They realized that they were in the hands of the most prominent members in that large institution of P. T. H. S. and that the severity of their initiation was due to their resistance to the command of these people. You are familiar enough with our customs to know that the boys received more severe treatment than the girls. Nevertheless the upper classmen all agreed that the Freshies were real sports. They were convinced of this by the prompt response of the frightened Freshmen to the commands of the upper-elassmen. The Freshmen were initiated. As thorough as never before, With shoes and stockings tied in knots, And feet all over the floor. Their faces were gently streaked with soot Proeured in the school house basement, And then they were forced to slowly march, Up the winding High School Casement. Their coats and caps were inside out, Shirt tails flew in the breeze, In the midst of the fight a Freshie yelled: Do you want my B. V. D.'s? Then,- when the fracas was over, They had their pictures took. I think they'l1 have a couple or so, Put in the Annual Book.
