Early in the month we elected class officers--Earl Bull, President, Donald Frits, Vice-president, Wilma Hayes, Secretary, Barbara Lewis, Treasurer, Robert Carlson, Student Council repre- sentative, Coach Munson, Class Sponsor.A Came the l4th--the day dreaded by all Freshmen everywhere-- initiationi The day before, we had been given written instruc- tions as to dress and behavior--on the morning of the l4th, we found doors barred by Sophs who looked us over critically to see if we had obeyed all commands--WE HAD! Boys wore rouge and lip- stick, penciled eyebrows, mothers' hats, blouses and skirts, high-heeled shoes, girls wore sweaters over sweaters, one high heel shoe, one low, no make up, kinky hair, all carried sacks full of-books, all knelt before Upper Classmen and in a shaky voice and with trembling knees Cfearing the riverj declared themselves little green crawling things called worms beneath honorable feet Cthe sophs'Jl More initiation in the afternoon in the auditorium--then in the evening a party which the Sophs gave us to show us they liked us after all, and were only carry- ing on an old tradition which gives Upper Classmen the right to give green Freshmen the right start on the road to knowledge-- an all school party with everybody dancing--Tr. Christensen, Nas- ter of Ceremonies, calling lustily from the stage, HEvcrybody out on the dance floorlu --did the rhumba, the snake dance, etc. Qctgbgr--Rollerskating class-party at Moline Rink on the 16th--Freshmen piled in six cars--refreshments on the way home, here and there--home late but lots of fun.
