FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Hurrah! for the Freshmen! They say we are green. We admit that, and rather pride ourselves on the fact of being green, for everybody knows that it is only the green things that grow. So then, three cheers for the green but growing crowd. One has only to look at us to be convinced that in this crowd there are possibilities of world leadership, in the sciences, arts, indus- tries and political and religious movements. There have been 190 Freshmen enrolled this year: 107 girls and 83 boys. Twenty-six of these have left us for various reaso ns. Orpha Syck couldn ' t wait until she graduated to get a ring. Hoffman Kilburn thought that school was too easy. Hattie Young decided to go back to Hollywood to play the lead- ing lady with Richard Dix. Nannie Lee Compton resolved to take a vacation. Wendell Damron decided that his car was suffering from want of exercise. Ray Dempsey thought that he would rather visit Blanche every evening than to learn poems and write themes. We don ' t know why the rest left us but it is certain they had some good reasons. The Freshman Class has had several parties and picnics this year. Miss Marshall ' s room had a picnic last October. The class went to Lovers Leap, where everyone had a nice time, despite the fact that some had a terrible time getting there. The Freshmen of Messrs. Flege and Replogle had a party Christmas. Everyone had an enjoyable time but we feared that some would be ill from eating candy. Miss Marshall ' s room had a St. Patrick ' s Party. The students assembled in Miss Scott ' s room. Due to the wonderful decorating committee, the room looked lovely. We found that Lois Sowards and Ruby Ratliff were talented in sculpturing for they carved the best shamrock from an Irish Potato. At the close of the party refreshments were enjoyed by all. Fleischmann ' s yeast makes the bread rise, Freshmen ' s work makes the school rise. We hope our class will continue to grow and show our school that we can do something. Although we are green now, we hope by May, 1933, when we march solemnly up to get our diplomas, we will have made such pro- gress that the green will be turned to the reds and golds and browns of wisdom, rich experience and virtues that make for the well-rounded life.
