The history of the Freshman class dates back to September 13, 1926. On that glorious day, some one-hundred and fifty youths and maidens, representing different parishes of the Eastern Hills left their homes, buoyant in heart and mind at the thought that they were to begin their career as high school students at St. Maryis High School. What a memorable day for us! Through the kind direction of those in charge We wended our way to a spacioushall, called the study-hall. Here we heard our fate for the coming year. X- To each Freshman it seemed as though a strange wonderous land were to be explored. Indeed, we are inclined to think ourselves the outstanding figures within and Without the sphere of St. Mary's School. Something like this Was running through the mind of each: What a prodigy am I! What a wonderful specimen of humanity! llfiy knowledge far surpasses that of my fellows. Theswift flight of time has now brought us near the end of our career as Fresh- men, and after ten months of study, we have gradually become-aware that we are not so great after all, and that our popularity will not help us to pass with a high grade. We have sailed the tempest-tossed sea of learning, but with the untiring efforts of our teachers, we hope to anchor safely as second year students. Our life is not all sorrow. Despite the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Soph- mores, we have discovered that they are very, very human like ourselves, and even though their sense of humor prompts them to direct one to the fourth floor for Freshman Study Hall, there is a good spirit behind it all, which we do not fail to appreciate. As all explorers gather relics from new lands, so the Freshmen, too, have gath- ered relics-not of bronze, stone or marble, but of the precious gems of knowledge. YVe have gained a great deal of experience too, and for the benefit of those who follow in our worthy footsteps, we will here set down a few admonitions to next year's Freshman class. I. Don't think the school gives credits for attendance. II. Don't let anyone convince you that a high school education isn't a good thing. III. Don't forget to do something that will cause you to be sent to the oHice . Its a thrill that comes once in a life time. IV. Don't-and this is the most important thing of all-don't fail to register in September 1927 at St. 1XIary's High School, Hyde Park. Go forward. Have a goal. Be earnest.
