RODEO — 1932 17 Tlie Freshmen August 30—Just came from the coun- 1111$ try. Gee, but this big city is gonna get me. I went up to see the school house. Gosh, I’ll bet it’s even bigger than a skyscroper. September 18—We got our initiation to- day. Boy, more fun! They sure treated us keen. We had a dance after school. I am not such a good dancer. I would be, I guess, but I hate to ask the girls. October 5—Activities started. Some of the freshmen joined the Art Club, the Forensic Club (I joined that), the Girls’ Glee Club, the Girl Reserves; I was on the freshman team in inter-class football and basketball. In basketball did we beat the seniors? Oh boy! Organized our class officers, too: President .................. Roland Ortmayor Vice-President .................. Willie Byrd Secretary and Treasurer ...... Eddie DeFriez Cabinet Representative .. Veneitah Havlik Sponsor ............................... Miss Mathison How’s that for officers? Pretty snazzy, huh ? November 18—High school play. Had two freshmen in the cast: Veneitah Havlik and Dorothy Mae Bunker. Huge success. Also Thanksgiving vacation. Loads of turkey and oh, the stomach aches! December 18—Christmas vacation. Lots of fun. Gee, I hate to go back to the old farm, the folks out there sure ain’t citified. January 8—Freshmen—that’s us—gave their party. Boy! What an affair. It was a leap year party. First one I ever was at. Pretty soft for the boys. I’m awful popular. I got asked for two dances the whole even- ing. February 21—Just got back from the sub- district. We walked away with the tourna- ment. I didn’t know if they caught us or not. February 29—Was at the district tourna- ment at Lewistown. We won that, too. On the way home we had four flat tires in the back seat. More fun! March 18—Went to the state tournament. We didn’t win, but we did good. I didn’t go, because the old bus wouldn’t work. March 20—Spring vacation. Did we go out in the wide open spaces? Didn’t go out to the farm on account of they’re so coun- trified out there. The old bus goes better in the summer than in winter. No city ginks! March 30—Preliminaries of the declama- tory contest. Some of the freshmen got in the finals: Cres Pigot, Melba Mitchell, Billy Mc- Lean. Had to stay after school so I couldn’t go. Boy, am I a cut-up? April 1—Boys’ Glee Club operetta. It was sure good. All about aeroplanes. “Up in the Air,” was the name of it. I gotta new girl, so I’m up in the air most of the time, too. I be- lieve I’m in love. No puppy love either! April 4—Finals of the declamatory con- test. Betty Eiselein won. She sure did good. She had a piece that had a little kid in it. That appealed to me. April 29—Girls’ Glee Club put on “Once in a Blue Moon.” Gee, it was good! Lots of things this month, wasn’t there? That re- minds me, the Blue Moon burned down. That was a dance hall on Main Street. May 6—The pageant and Patron’s Day. Also our “big parade” of the high school came today, too. Gee, they had me King of May. Everyone laffed, but it couldn’t have been at me, could it? I sure was flattered! And how! May 13—Seniors gave the “Hop” to pay the Juniors back for the Prom. It was a swell affair, too. Took my girl, but we didn’t dance much. After the dance we had a big fight. Now we don’t go together any more. My heart is broken. But gosh! Am I a lady killer? That’s the fifth girl I’ve had this year. But I’m thru with women. I’m going back to the farm. I guess I wasn’t in love at all. May 29—Am out home in the country again. This has been a great school year, but I’m glad to be on the ranch again. Dad and mom are pretty nice people, even if they don’t have all the city ways.
