FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY ATHER TIME has waved his wand once more, and another school year is almost at an end. It happens to be a Freshman year at that. full of trials and everything else that accompanies Freshies. Let us go back to the beginning of the school year at Regina High to the very first real day of school, and this is the picture we see. Coming up the Quatman Avenue Hill is a group of gay girls. On closer observation, we perceive that they are beginning their new year as Seniors. On and on they come, and in their rank and iile are inter- mingled some Juniors and Sophomores. all preserving the dignity of their titles. Some distance away, we see another group of girls who seem to be very much absorbed in conversation This is the group in which our interest is centered. and the one which we will scrutinize more closely. They appear to be very happy and carefree, swelling with pride at the honor of having such a title as HFreshie. Little do they know of the teasing which that name will bring forth from older brothers and others. Soon they reach the entrance through which they will pass so often, the entrance of our beloved Regina High. After greeting many old and new friends. they are at last assembled in the Study Hall, trying to whisper above the roar of the hammer. chisel, and what not that are putting the finishing touches to our school. The Sister trying to talk in all this clamor. at last succeeds in makinz the Freshies understand where to go. But when those little creatures get out in all the traffic and hubbub. they are so confused and awed by the immensity of the hall, that all they can do is to stand still with mouths open. until some kind Sister picks them up With her pro- tecting arm, and drops them in the right rooms Well, that suches for the first day. The program for many days afterward was about the same except that lessons were permanently adopted and studying began in earnest, Then came the dedication program, appropriate only for the dedi- cation of such a beautiful school as ours. That was one day in which all the students tevelled. for they were free to trespass any part of the building. Again we settled down for a month When once more the monotony of study was broken by a Christmas party given by the Seniors. It was a big success and acquainted us not only with Santa Claus, but also with some of the mighty Seniors. After the longedafor Christmas vacation was over, we once more passed through the entrance. to Regina but this time we looked dif- ferent, not nearly as green as that first day. Since old Santa had left us a large supply of erasers and pencils, we were ready once more to tackle Latin and Math. One great worry, however. blighted our happiness, the dreaded mid-year exams. The greater number of us came through, though, with flying colors, and the result was not a nervous breakdown, as we had anticipated, even a few students did get the flu. It is with pride and happiness that we leave behind us those mid- year exams. but looming in the distance we see two far greater and heavier problems. One is that terrible deciding fate, June exams, and the other the incomparable sorrow of leaving behind us the name we have learned to love so well, llFreshie. A FRESHMAN. oamwaw
