The class had so many mmbers (forty-six’ that the class rooms overflowed with them. Early the Freshmen earned the reputation of being the “greenest class that ever entered High Schoolbut we do not agree with that impression. We were honored by the usual Frshman Reception but they tell us we acted with becoming humility. At the Hallowe’en party we won the meet and since then our prowess in all athletics has been undisputed. We won first place in the basket ball series and that fact probably accounts for the “sore” feeling the others cherish toward us, nad for the flings they throw at us because we are Freshmen. We feel confident, however, that we have a great future in store for us and that the years will add much to our honors and dignity. Freshman, Freshman, don’t you cry. You’ll be a Sophomore by and by.” (Mr. Linden’s advice) Miss K. (In Ancient History,)— “Explain the meaning of die in the expression, “The die is cast.” Frances S.—“Die is a color.” Miss Kershner (In Ancient History) “Name a man in Greek History who resembles Regulus in true statesmanship.” Hilding Larson—“Socrates.” Miss K.—“Why?” Hilding—“Because he drank the poisoned cup.” The professor had asked in an examination the following question, “What is transparent translucent, and opaque.” Bright Freshman:—“I cannot pre cisely define these terms, but 1 can indicate their meaning in this way:—“The windows of this class room were once transparent, they are now translucent, and if not cleaned very soon will be opaque.” —Ex. “When rain falls does it ever rise again?” Beatrice—“Yes sir.” Mr. F.—“When?” Beatrice—“Why in due time.”

Randall Laymon iLnlure Navy Blue and White ijlatory When our class came to High School, there were about thirty-five of us. They tell us that we were pretty green: that it was so evident that they sent us green invitations bidding us to a party at the Gymnasium in our honor. At that time they deemed it their duty to deliver to us many instructions as to how we should behave. But with our Sophomore year we lest some of this greenness; we also lost some of our members so that at the present time our class numbers only sixteen. This year we joined our school mates in giving a reception and instructions to our successors, class of 1917. With the passing of the year we (UlatfH Beatrice Buckley Mary Beckwith Margaret Funcheon Arlene Holden Randall Laymon Ruth Meacham Gertrude Mulcahy Hattie McKinney have grown in wisdom and dignity. The other classes envy us these qualities so they try to retaliate by calling us “slow.” It did take us longer to decide to have our picture taken; that was due, however, to no lack of inclination but to the fact that we feared the pictures of the others would suffer by comparison with ours. In athletics we stand in second place, a position of which we are very proud. We hope to raise it during tne track meet as all our five boys are athletes and jealous for the honor of 1916. The coming years will hear more of us for we are bound to rise lull Joseph McCarney Floyd Ostrander Raymond Reznor Bertha Rushka Esther Seyler Edmund Sullivan Elsie Wallace Gertrude Wallace Ruth Wicks
