FRESHMAN CLASS I am sure you need no introduction to the Freshman Cless. Its members may be identified anywhere from Bruno's and Battery E armory to the Gym by their brightly smiling faces. They smile under all conditions and circumstances, trying to live up to their unwritten motto of Laugh and the World Laughs With You. This class, as you all know, has been condescendingly and scornfully dubbed, The Comedy of Er- rors, by the upper classes. But this is only one of the many trials we have cheerfully borne in our brief sojourn on this heavenly realm called High School,-or at least so it appeared to our awed eyes when vie ertered last September. We were glad to have the novelty of routine work after our weeks' of idleness during the summer. As school progressed, the novelty wore off but the routine remained. This was broken at last by the advent of our first class meeting. When we assem- bled we saw our cliss for the first time as a whcle or as an organization. Robert Scott, as presidentg Merril Pearl, as vice-presidentg Margaret Huey, as sec- retary. and Nolan Walker as treasurer, were elected as our officers. Mr. Francis vias chosen class sponsor and advisor, or rather, he himself informed us that he would act in this capacity. In fact, he said he had particular reasons of his own for wanting to keep his eagle eye upon us during our first year. On December 22, 1921. our class enjoyed a party at the Knights of Pythias hall. The evening went swiftly with games and dancing, and for once the repeated efforts of the older fellows to gain entrance to the Freshie party were in vain. After our return to the scene of action following Christmas, we were imbued with a new spirit and fervor, and decided to give an assembly. The committee consisted of Lester Bond, Robert Scott, Nolan Walker, and Isargaret Huey, assisted by Miss Bailey. Recitations by Robert Scott and a one-act playlet entitled, A Trip to Mauerj' were the main features and the program was concluded with music. We are proud of the part we played in Athletics this year. Our representatives on the different teams have wcn credit, both fcr themselves and the class. Taking us as a whole, we Freshmen wish to continue as we have started.-live- ly and full-of-fun, but always striving ahead toward that distant goal:- Graduation, NVe are confident that we have and in the months to come VVILL profit by our mistakes so that when we become full-fledged Scphomores our emerald tint will have entirely disappeared. What we are is good evidence of what we have been, and, in the Words of Byron, The best of prophets of the future is the past. -MARGARET E. HYEY. n......1.-........,..,, ,-Y,...m,,, .
