RODEO — 1929 15 Tjhe Sophomores Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State! Sail on, O Sophomores, Strong and Great! Humanity with all its fears, With all the hope of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate! We know what teachers laid thy keel What students wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each thing they call a rule, In what a town and what a school Were shaped the anchors of thy hope! Fear not each sudden test and shock, It’s only the teachers you should sock; ’Tis but the flapping of a skirt, And not a rent made in your shirt! In spite of the things that to-day Bring sorrow, Be happy and gay to-morrow, Sail on. nor fear to open life’s door! Our hearts, our hopes forevermore, Are all with thee,— Great Sophomore! —Grace Hoagland.

RODEO — 1925 17 Freshman Events QN September 5, at the General Assem- bly, ninety-one new faces were pres- ent, and from their bewildered and perplexed glances it was evident that these were to make up the personnel of the Freshman Class of 1928-1929. One of the leading events of their school year was when the ninety-one scared Freshmen were initiated by the Seniors. The upperclassmen instructed the girls to come in dresses to their ankles and no cosmetics or curls. The boys had their hair parted in the mid- dle and combed down the sides of their faces, and their trousers were to be roll- ed up to their knees. The initiation began sharply at one o’clock. The shampoo for their hair was made of eggs, salt, vaseline and mange cure. For the cosmetics there were mecurichrome iodine and shoe-blackening. At the close of the eighth period they were brought before the other classes for the remain- der of their initiation. They formed a line, marching across the platform bowing to each noble Senior from whom they received a blow from a hairbrush. After this the Senior class declared the Freshmen duly initiated and lauded them for their good sportsmanship. The Athletic Association campaign went over one hundred per cent. This was the first time in several years that the Freshman class was able to do this. The Freshman class this year again showed their good sportsmanship by agreeing to paint the “R” without any suggestions from the Seniors. On Fri- day afternoon, September 28, the entire male membership of the Freshman class, under the supervision of a committee of Senior boys, climbed up the long steep hill south of town and gave the “R” a fresh coat of whitewash. The feminine members of the class remained at the foot of the hill and prepared a picnic lunch for the boys as a reward for their labors. The night of February 1 was reserved for the Freshman dance. The commit- tee selected a snappy three-piece orches- tra and at eight o’clock the fun began. Several bashful Freshman boys got the courage to step out upon the floor, which was the first time they could ever be persuaded to make the attempt. At 11:30, as the orchestra played “Home, Sweet Home,” the party was dismissed, everyone declaring they had had a royal good time. The Freshmen presented two very clever programs during the year. One was in January, when the Harmonica band, composed solely of Freshmen boys, gave their program. The entire band played the opening selections. After this followed a solo, duet, and jnany short but clever dialogues. The pro- gram as a whole proved very interesting and amusing. The second program was presented on February 15, and was put on by the Freshmen girls. This consist- ed of a two-act play entitled “Two Little Rebels,” with “The Parade of the Wood- en Soldiers” and a vocal solo as features between acts. Altogether the class has had a very successful year, and we only hope that it will meet with just as much success dur- ing the remaining three years of its high school career. --------o------ CHARACTER INDEX TEST Think of your initials, fit them to the proper list below.
