75044 Qfwwalff-4 YM! u . Yes, that is what we were called that fateful and all-important day in September when we entered the awe-inspiring portals of Strawn High. Some of the other choice terms were nwormsn, Nscumu, Hnumbskullsu, and some not fit for publication. All the dirty jobs were ours, and what those upper classmen could think up to do! And, we'll admit that we did wander around in a daze for awhile, a little bit uncertain just what the study hall was for fJim Brothers and Bill Hinkson told us it was to throw paperwads in, and Robert Craddock said it was to sail paper airplanes in, but sad experience has taught us otherwisej. Also we got lost on the way to Math. class and couldn't find the science lab., but other than that, we got along fine. We elected class officers, with C. A. Wilkerson, President, and Sara Jones, Secretary-Treasurer. Also we elected faculty sponsor, and while we didn't realize it then, we were lucky to choose Miss Georgia Stephen for that job. She is a wonderful sponsor and while we had to get acquainted, she has proved to be all for us and we are all for her. 1 V ..,...-... , . . . , . .

As a result, several of the Freshmen got what looked like a real G.I. haircut, and it was a good thing for some of us that the weather was still warm! And I don't think a single Freshman boy excaped being tossed into the fish pond - we all wonder if that is what the thing was built for? But we've had our good moments, too. We have taken part in several assembly programs, and proved to everyone present that we have excep- tional talent and ability, especially Wayne Woods and his courting acts, and Ada Parker's singing. C. A. and Henry Sharp were managers land general flunkeysj for the championship team that won B1-district in football, and a number of the Freshmen girls were in the Pepzsquad. Since the Eighth Grade has come over to the high school building, our lot has been easier, for they received all those pet names and became the babies of the campus. Also since mid-term we no longer are as green, and are actually looking forward to next year when we will be intelligent and influential Sophomores - and brother, maybe you think we won't have our tummatthis fish pond throwing and this pants-swiping! Green little fish this year, yes. But wait till next year!
