Wie Were seated by Mr. 'l'wineham in the southeast assembly room together with the Sophomores who, although very superior, condescended to enumerate for our benefit some of the rules and regulations. After a little of the green had worn off and the upper classes had held their regular class meetings, the Freshmen proceeded to organize. Robert Little was chosen president: Charley Johnston, vice-president: Doris lflicks. secretary and treasurer, and our colors, lavender and white. Immediately the class scraps began, but after about a week died down 3 and as soon as our first wienie roast was over we settled down to hard work on Latin, Algebra, Botany and English with a little Domestic Science. Manual Training, Music and Drawing thrown in as extras. XVhen we had been going to school about two months, we came to school one morning to find our books all moved and Mr. Twineliani waiting for us in the hall. The new assembly room had just been completed and we were to begin our work in it that morning. For once the Freshmen were not the only ones who gazed about them wondering where to go. Freshmen, Sopho- mores, Juniors. and Seniors all wandered about together with one common obiect in view-to End their respective places. llowever, soon all was reor- ganized and the work went on smoothly. Before the term was over we had lost tive of our members, one leaving town and four concluding they did not like Freshman life. . When we came back to school again it was with the privileges of Sopho- niores. XYe, of course, had the green spectacles we had received from the last year's Senior class and if we had thought we were very bright, when the Freshman class began to arrive we found them a much brighter green. This year we had two new teachers who, to all appearances, considered us as a hopeless case, for they both left before the term was over. We now studied Caesar, Algebra, Geometry, linglish and History. XVe changed our colors to red and white and selected the American Beauty rose as our class tlower. By this time we had lost live more members. Three of these seemingly prefered Freshman life to Sophomore for they had stayed behind at the be- ginning of the term. This year closed for us with nothing more exciting than the final exams. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillll1lllllllllllllllllliiilllllilillllilllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!l'1VlUll!ilfll!IlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllil

NYC had four new teachers to get acquainted with, which, however, proved not such a difficult task as we had expected. XX'ith the new teachers came a new subject-Spanish. The .luniors had the privilege of taking this along with their other subjects, lieometry, History, and English. The girls also took Domestic Science and although the class was small in numbers, did some quite effective work along the line of cooking. This year four of our members took part in the High School Play. In addition to our other work the second semester we began planning a way to raise the money for the junior-Senior banquet. About three weeks before school was out we began active work on a Carnival. XYithin two weeks, with the aid of the other classes, we had pre- pared what was to be the most successful Carnival ever put on by Remington. On Saturday evening, May l7, 1919, at the time set for the beginning of per- formances, the old school building was swarming with people all very anxious to spend their money. XX'hen the money was counted it was found that we had taken in about 3133. The final exams were given the last week of school and Commencement and everything that goes with it were held the following week. Almost the entire week was spent by the juniors in decorating. as each function was held at a different place and it fell to our lot to decorate each place in its turn. :Xt last, however, everything was over and we had three months to rest before starting in at books again. .-Xt last we are Seniorsl How different the assembly room looked when we came back to it the fourth year. XYe had the privilege of sitting in the seats nearest the windows and of course many times yielded to the temptation of looking out of them and dreaming dreams, not of such common things as Physics, Spanish, English and History. This year there are only eight of us left out of the twenty-one Freshmen. About the middle of the first term we started plans to put out an Annual and from those plans materialized The Mirror. Wie expect to continue our work together until Commencement time, then go each of us our own way to-it's hard to tell where.
