FRESHMAN CLASS The record ol the Class of 1939 stands out as an example of achievement, ser- vice, and enthusiasm. An enviable scholastic standing, coupled with excellent ex- tra-curricular prowess, has given the class a lead start. That this class performed inestmable service in the shaping ol' the 1935 Blue Bulldogs is attested by the tact that over thirty Freslnnan boys answered the Fall summons to the gridiron. Most outstanding was Tony Peverada, the only Freshman to gain a permanent post on the varsity. Track season found many of these 'ggers in togs, and Edmund Mrowka and Edward Montgomery won their varsity letters. The girls, also. have distinguished themselves in athletics. Over fifteen lassies reported for basketball, two of them winning places on the varsity sextette. Nine Freshman girls reported lor practice on the newly-lor med girls, tennis team, and the ever-popular pastime ol lfeld hockey uncovered many bright prospects. Along scholastic lines, this class has taken no back seat. Each quarter has found a large number ol' Freshman on the Honor Roll. The Classical Forum's membership was swelled by fifty-two. Margaret Crozier, Dorothy Moran, John Iaques, and Robert Hay represented their class on the Junior Red Cross Council. Anne Folsom and Edith Palmer were members ol' the debating team. .
