N the sixth of September, ISII4, seven gay I reshmen entered the Iialeign lligh School. It seemed strange wI1en we tirst came in contact with our larger friends. How- ever, wc were determined that we would do our best to make the school proud of us. Although we were Freshies we advanced very nicely in our lessons the Iirst semester and nearly all escaped taking the examination. Roy Ilox, one of our number, moved to Illi- nois. Soon after his departure Robert, think- ing high school lit'e none too pleasant, decided to work on the farm. About March our num- ber was again increased to seven bv the addi- tion oi' Davis Nelson, formerly ot' liushville, and Lilly Keith. of Lewisville. Soon after their joining us, Blanche was forced to lose four weeks of school on account of her health. 'I'he remaining ones have progressed rapidly, study' ing sometimes both night and day. Now as the last day of school dawns upon us we feel that we have fulfilled our duties as I'1l'0SIlIl'lPIl. We have made many friends dur- ing our Freshman year and feel that the school would be deserted without us. However, we are going to strive to the end so that when our school days are over we will have been a credit to the Raleigh High School. l -Agin- YOORIIIESE THOMAS IIAZIZL RIDER , LOA CALIJWICLL FRESHMAN CLASS POEM.

We did not Want to come incontact with the jolly Juniors and Seniors at first. We progressed very Well and in about one Week after school commenced a Sophomore joined us. Great progress was made in the algebra class under Mr. Fox and in the Latin Work under Mr. Marlatt. Most of the class were exempt in Latin and Algebra the first semester. At the beginning of the second semester we lost one of our class in Latin. Page twenty-eight At the beginning of our Sophomore year one was added to our class, Edgar Dean McMath. We pro- gressed very nicely until Christmas, at which time one of class deserted us. Though few in number We Went at our Work with a zest that Won for us an in- terest in our subjects that has been both an inspira- tion to ourselves and to our teachers, no doubt. Mabel Hamilton was forced to leave school on ac- count of ill health. Though few in number We are still looking forward to our Junior year with a great deal of enthusiasm.
