THE FRESHMEN If Father Leonard. prefect of the freshmen, has that exhausted look at the end of the year, it will be because he has spent the year keeping one jump ahead of the forty active members of the yearling class. Initiation, sports, studies, all were taken in stride. After some experience in league play, the freshmen organized a football team of their own. Games with Visitation of Tacoma and Washington Junior High School of Olympia were played late in the season. Team members were De Luca, Roy, Gamache, Philip Eckroth, Denton, McGill, Fortney, Chartrand, Norris, Bidwell and Bouson. The frosh basketeers got an early start, with McGill, Eckroth, Denton, Fortney, Chartrand. Brenner, Roy and Mueller making up a scrappy squad. Competition ranged from the boys of Briscoe school at Kent, Visitation, Holy Rosary and the Boys' Club of Tacoma, and local teams from Lacey, South Bay and Tumwater. Outstanding athlete of the freshman class was Otto Fink, a regular on the varsity football and basketball teams. Fink showed considerable ability as a boxer. Other yearling boxers were Roy, Akers, Grasser and Bosserman. Freshmen are not all brawn and no brain. Bosserman led the Honor Roll all year, having a perfect rating of 4.00 at the semester. Denton, Philip Eckroth, Bouson, Savio and Koreski were also honor students. The Ranger Flight Club was made up predominantly of freshmenfbest model plane builders being White, Koreski, Bidwell and Gamache. Radio code class fascinated many of the lads, and not a few took to stamp collecting. Journalism class attracted some future editors. Class officers were Otto Fink, president: Gerald McGill, vice president: Charles Bosserman, secretary treasurer, Bill Gamache, sergeant at arms. A great number of the freshmen plan to return-and the prospect of a lively three years ahead returns with them.
