yea rccsn: On September the fifth, one hundred and eleven Freshmen enrolled. This is the largest class that has ever entered Rensselaer High School. By the end of the first semester about five students had dropped by the wayside, some because of illness, others because they knew more than the teachers. The Freshman class was represented on the Rensselaerien Staff, the Debating team and in the Dramatic Club, G. A. A. and Dolly Madison Home Economics Club. The class met with their sponsors, Greenham and Strole, on Septem- ber the seventh for a class election. Edward Kurtz was elected president and Elbert Malone vice president. The Freshman Class received many honors on the Honor Roll. Ten or more names appeared on the Honor Roll each time it was posted. Many honors were received in athletics. Several of the class receiv- ed R’s either in football or basketball. On March sixteenth, the Freshmen won the class basketball tournament. In the first game the Sophomores were conquered and the Juniors were beaten in the second game. The Freshmen were tormented continually and called “green” by the upper classmen, but they took this bravely, for were not those upper classmen Freshmen at one time? A wonderful change came over the class during the latter part of the year, for those children who had enter- ed in September were no longer green but were transformed into intelli- gent and industrious (?) students. Three more years to go! Such is true for the Freshmen who have been trying to adapt themselves to the Rensselaer High School. Our de- sire is that we can carry out the rest of our high school career as well as we have at the present time. The upper classmen have smiled at our em- barrassment in trying to find seats in study halls but we feel we have lived through it all admirably. Our sponsors are conscientious and patient. Under their leadership we have quickly learned to like the school and to look forward to the next three years with pleasure. Page twenty-four
