11-In IW AKYON- QI Freshmen A Class History Ninety-four freshmen entered S. H. S. on the opening day, September 10, 1923. We had enrolled and been given our programs and assigned our class rooms during the week previous to the open- ing of school, and felt that we knew just a little more to start with than freshmen of other years. This is the first year that Freshies have been giv- en the opportunity to enroll and receive a few instructions before the opening of school, and it surely is a good plan. We n1ay have been just as green to all outward appearances as the average freshmen, but we had much more self- confidence. A meeting of the class was called on Septem'ber 19. We selected'Mr. Brooks for class sponsor. The offlcens were al- so elected as follows: President, James Browng Vice-President, Margaret Kel- leyg Secretary, Marietta Houston and Treasurer, Robert Peden. Russel Doane was chosen B. B. Captain for the class team. Our second class meeting was called in October for the purpose of electing a member from our class for the Student Council. Maurice Colglazier was chos- en for this place. Committees were ap- pointed and arrangements made for a weiner roast which was held at Mr. Brooks' home, Mrs. Phillips and Miss Lewis serving as chaperone-s. Later in October we selected our class colo1's and flower. Silver and green are our colors, and the carnation, our flower. We held an enjoyable Hallowe'en par- ty at James Brownhs home. Miss Troth and Mr. and Mrs. Shively attended. Early in November a class motto was chosen. It is: Look forward and not backward. During the first semester our basket ball team played two games with the grade school team, but was defeated both times. We were also defeated by the Sophomores and Juniors the second semester. Early in 1924, we had an old-fash- ioned party in Lyon Hall. Miss Troth chaperoned. We all dressed in old-fash- ioned costumes, as queer as possible. The second tsemester, having become a real part of S. H. S., we were allowed to vote with the rest of the student body for the Student Council members. We chose James Brown. We have spent but one year in S. H. S. and so we still have three years to prove more fully that we are worthy of being called students of Salem High School. Freshmen B Class History The Freshgnen B Class is the young- est class in the Salem High School. It has the distinction of being the first to be promoted from the Grade to the High School at the middle of the school-year. The eight years' work of the Grade School was completed in 'seven and a half years, the Seventh Grade work and half of the work of the Eighth Grade, being finished in one year. Owing to the crowded condition at the Illgh School this class had to remain at the Grade Building. A special teach- er, Miss Helen Holtzman, was provided. She teaches Latin, English and Com- munity Civics. Superintendent, N. F. Hutchinson teaches Algebra. There are thirty mem'bers in the class, seven boys and the rest girls. lPage forty-sevenl
