FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Early in the morning of Monday, September 8th, 1919, forty-two eager, Anxious, wondering boys and girls wended their various ways towards the South Whitley High School building, and there took their places in the As- semhly room and were enrolled as Freshmen. We were eager and anxious, because this was a great day in our lives. It was the day when our high school career began and we were no longer just graders. Many of us wondered because this was our first day in the South Whitley Schools. We had come from the little Red School House in the country and we knew little of the way things were done in this high school where there were so many students, and so many teachers. The second day of school we began to feel quite proud of ourselves as a class, when we were informed that we were the largest Freshman class ever enrolled in the local schools. This record we have maintained thruout the year altho we have lost t hree of our original number. The middle of the sec- ond semester Helen Plattner, formerly of the Columbia City Schools, joined our forces, keeping our total number at forty. In the beginning the upperclassmen looked down upon us as mere chil- dren unlearned in the mighty ways of high school affairs and the weighty problems of higher education. The first two weeks of school we did not ac- complish much except getting acquainted with one another, with text books, and our new teachers. In the course of time we held a class meeting and ef- fected a class organization. We chose Miss Elfers, class advisor ; Robert Clapp, President ; Conway Geist, Vice President ; and Annette Weiner, Secretary- Treasurer. Our social activities were limited to two class parties during the first se- mester. The first one was held at the home of Marguerite Hauptmeyer at Col- lamer ; the second one at the home of Lewis Beard. Naturally we had a jolly good time, which is characteristic of all Freshman parties. As a class we are well represented in all High School activities. One of our members, Robert Clapp, played center on the varsity basket ball team, while in the inter-class games our team made a good record. We are also represented in the Glee Club, Track Team, and the Annual Staff organizations. We come now to the close of the year, the majority of our class having passed the first landmark of our High School career. With great pride and pleasure we will look upon this as being one of our very best years in school, feeling that we are more enabled to press on towards our goal. Keith Chadwick 2:-i.
