We have launched our little boat And want to catch 'fthe drift afloat. Every one, We must apply So as to learn the where and why. Our goal seems so far away With nothing but toil for many a day. Hand in hand our boat we'll row Helping each other as we go. So Captain, pilot, steward and mate All aboard-lets keep her straight. They call us Freshies and say we're green But we're not discouraged as you've seen, We're working hard to win the race And give a new class the Freshies' place. Then calmly we will reach the shore Not a Freshie class, but the Sophomore. -Marian Uhrhane, '28. 39

Won't you ever grow up to the studying age And never your footsteps turn? The years seem longer than ever before With queries and studies and themes, But throughout them all we know you'll find Nothing is as bad as it seems. -Mary Morris, '28. Ziaahing Qrriheh Freshman! The name we have looked forward to for eight long years, waiting until we could gain admission to that place of dignity- High School. But at last the seemingly impossible has happened and after traveling year by year, on the Elementary Special, we finally received a transfer to an improved train called The High School Special, which we hope will be speedier than the former. But still, where are we? We have gone higher but have not reached the top. We can still be looked down upon by our upperclassmen, as first class greens, and according to them we, with a red ribbon around our necks, would make a good Christmas decoration. But after thinking it over we admit that the Freshman Class can boast of nothing great, and must bow down to the Seniors, who deserve to be revered. Our time is coming, and three more years will show what former green Freshies will make as dignified Seniors. The Seniors of to-day were Freshmen of yesterday and when we assume that name maybe you think we won't act dignified, but just wait and see! S -John Bauer, '29. 38
