FRESHMAN CLASS ross My Heart I wil be true . . . to aint Francis As the new maroon and silver curtain inched its way apart and revealed the sixty-two fresh- men on the seage of high school, the first move- ment of the symphony began. Oh, kids, I'm scared! This was whispered sibilantly by per- formers at the beginning of the year about the initiation Dance. Everyone had fun, though and no casualties were reported. The first party given by the freshmen occurred on the last day of school for 1950. It was a Christmas party and the guests of honor were Louella Parsons, alias James Shaw, and Santa Claus, who is sometimes called Ned Colangelo. The entertainment consisted mostly of singing and antics by Santa. A solo was given by Barbara Lyon for which she won twenty-five dollars. The Pure Oil Company was the appreciative sponsor. Sallie Wright and Pat Ratchen brought renown to the ninth grade when their essays were entered in the American Legion Contest. The king and queen of the Kris Kringle Korn Ball included nominees Theresa Nutter and Frank Murphy. Though loyally supported by the sixty-two they weren't crowned. Another dance number given by the new members of the symphony had a ? for its motif. This was successful and gave the class confi- dence in each other. They had a great deal of spirit and cooperated with Sister Boniface and the student body in everything the school un- dertook. Loyalty has been the keynote of their performance, and as the first movement comes to an end, they will remain true to St. Francis through the symphonies of the years ahead. First row-Elizabeth Sandman, Nellie Miller, Ronald Rodamer, Clarence Winters, Bill Winters, Charles Schimpf, Carol Stasel, and Sallie Wright.
