Men QM german As the class teams were about to line up on the field, the Freshmen, coached by Anne Louise Fritsche, leannette Stenson, Margaret Ann Keith, and Margie Lou Goodrich, were given their last-minute instructions: Now remember, the first trick play of your rivals is bound to be the initiation, when you'll plunge into such interference as orders to peel like a banana or hang like paper on the wall. Prepare your best defense-a sense of humor. Following the kick-off, the first-year team heeded to the letter all signals and blocked its opponents' play for a no-gain. The rapid Latin forward passes, instead of the algebra short-line bucks they had expected, stopped the Freshmen on their forty-yard line, until they put in their best man, Study. Regular hockey workouts helped to keep this star player in trim for the many scrimmages demanding his energy. Due to the effective punting of the upperclassmen in the tunnel at the Hallowe'en party, such extraordinary characters as ghosts, murderers, skeletons, and goblins terrified the Frosh into a fumble, and they lost possession of the ball. Dazed by several swift downs, the players per- mitted the Seniors to score a field goal on them in the next play, Stooge Day. Though warned to expect the worst, their line seemed powerless against such tricky strategies as being compelled to walk upstairs back- wards on one foot,Vpush pennies across the cafeteria floor with their noses, and read French poems in pig-Latin. Time was called as the quarter came to a close. Bevived in spirit by the fact that they had made a generous gift of old gold to the Alamosa Mission Party, the Frosh started the second quarter with encouraging gains made through their one-act play, Pollyanna, and their charitable drop kick, the preparation of Christmas baskets. The half was called, and the players ran off the field eager for the twenty- minute intermission, the Christmas holidays. Despite the vigorous opposition they met upon their return to the gridiron, the team brought the ball down to their opponents' goal by their generous donation to the Red Cross Flood Relief Fund. The points following this touchdown were made by the loyal support given to the Seniors' patron drive and their one hundred per cent attendance at the Mission Committees clock party. By unanimous request time was again called while the Sophs staged their elaborate Mardi-Gras party. Refreshed from the third-quarter intermission, their reteat, the team made a spectacular gain when they sang the spring fantasies at the Iunior High- School play, Peter Pan. Going into a huddle at their class picnic they planned their final touchdown of the year, a banquet in honor of the Sophomores, at which the star players employed their trickiest passes and most artful devices. Their first season in the big league completed, the Freshmen ran off the field, planning even better plays for the games of 1938. sgvfefh amid 19.9
