FRESHMEN On September 2 the prairie schooner belonging to the seniors '44 started on its long Journey across the four years of high school i S H S We chose Earl Booten as our leader for the first quarter of our tr1p To aid him we enl1sted the serv1ces of Betty Bowen as second teamster and Frances Jones as buyer of new equipment. As Indian Scout and general gu1de across the arid desert we chose Miss Manangh We started with twenty four 1n our wagons though some of us thought we were ngonersu when blindfolded and led through a long and winding path the n1ght of Freshman Initiation the latter part of September. We were sure that the day of our great trial would be fatal During the day a mock wedding was performed in front of the entire student body The bride Emmy Lou Scharf, was dressed in a white gown worn in reverse She carried a bouquet of marigolds Koh, the smell, The groom was Robert Bjork, better known as UBobbyU to the girls and HB1 Jerk' to the boys He, too wore h1s clothes in reverse. The preacher was Paul Schroeder, who performed the officlal duties w1th due ceremony Perhaps the most strenuous of the evenlng 1nit1at1on was performed by Sarah Taylor who was made to run 50 Wlapsu around the gymnasium After a Nshockingn good time we green trall r1ders were refreshed by dough nuts and czder Follow1ng the initiat1on we started on w1th no one m1SS1ng We were asked to honored at a Jamboree king and queen of the Flnally came the tered for two weeks. choose the two most popular of our number to be called the UPenny Carnivnl.' our candldates for pra1rie were Betty Bowen and Paul Hartman long awa1ted Christmas vacat1on andwm were scat We banded together again on January 6, and started the new year with lots of hard work. When the time came to take our trail tests five of our number escaped them. They were Betty Bowen, Alice Anne- gers, Miriam Sanderson, Frances Jones, and Sarah Taylor. The more experienced trail riders were honored at a picnic given by the green trailsmen, at Bogus Hollow, May 23. After the picnic we returned to the nfort' to attend a movie. We have almost come to the end of the first quarter of our jour- ney and then we will disband for three months. Two of our members, Robert Waddell and Betty Sly, have already been lost by the wayside,but we hope that our numbers will notdecrease further before the end of our trip, either by scalping or merely leav- ing the wagon train.
