I ' Cistorr of tl)e diass of ' IS! r AS ill the tliirtl week of Septenilicr, in tlie year of our Lord one thousand nine hir.ulred and fourteen, that a queer, unfa- miUar s roup of lieinj s was (Hscovered wandering ' aiinlcssl} ' about witiiin the boundaries of the Santa Ana Polytechnic High School. The common wonderment was how they ever got inside those halls. After considerable research work, the general belief was that they walked u]i the steps and entered through the doors. Thus tliere assembled together, in a place where they all did loathe to go, small beings, commonly known to the world as b ' reshmen. Thev were derived from the Intermediate, and arious other eslablisbiiients. for the s -stematic in- struction of young America, round about both far and near. . t first, thev wan- dered aiiout with much (|uaking in their boots and ijuivering in their voices.

But the frosh ' did not back down. They would not allow the yellow and white to be trampled in the dust. The}- proudly accejited. and in the light of the roaring bonfire, considerablv out- numliered by the Sophomires, they won a decisive victory in the mightv sack- rush battle which raged for twenty minutes. Then the munificent Sophomores gave a reception in honor of the ounger members of the school, who had shown then elves to be a real, live class. -After one year of experience, they returned, having been promoted one step higher toward their goal of success. The first thing they did was to show their superiority over the Freshmen at the time of the welcome tendered them. .Again, in the light of the roaring I ' age Twenty-four
