FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY About seven months ago, Sultan High received a val- uable asset of twenty-seven rather nervous but determined Freshmen. This group included the tallest and shortest boys in High School, the champion male heartbreaker of the school, and a poet. Every ready to show the rest of the school that they were wide awake, they held a class meeting on the first of September. Mrs. Nottingham was chosen class advisor, Ruth Not- tingham was elected class president, Esther Schirmann secretary and Imo Turner treasurer. The class colors were green and white, signifying ig- norance and innocence. The class flower chosen was the lily because of the verse in the Bible which reads: They toil not neither do they spin, and the class motto was, Impossible is Un-American. During the first part of the year the Freshmen re- ceived many dire threats from formidable looking Sopho- mores, but knowing as they did, that a Soph's bark is us- ually worse than his bite, the threats failed to arouse the feeling of awe, which might naturally have been expected, and if there were any doubts or fears concerning the initi- ation they were immediately dispelled upon the arrival of that momentous event, for although the menu did include angle-worms, a Frenchman seldom fails to do justice to re- freshments of any kind, and the worms were swallowed as eagerly as the cake. The class couldn't seem to join for the purpose of giv- ing a party during the first semester. There were always too many students who could not be present on the ap- pointed date. However, they got up a party on the six- teenth of March, which was a decided successful event. The time flew quickly by with games and contests, the most notable of which was the race for the domestic science room after refreshments were announcedg and in spite of the fact that all of the guests arrived on time, the ice cream was stone cold. From present indications the Freshmen outlook seems very promising, most of the students are doing good work, and the remainder capable of nothing less . ROBERT LAMSON, '26.

' BAZAAR We all worked hard to make our bazaar a reality. The cooking class fretted, stewed and baked cookies, pies, cakes, candy and other delicacies. The sewing class with the aid. of the Glee Club girls employed tongues and needles in the manufacture of little novelties. Two quilts were patched, stuffed, and tied by some of the girls of the upper classes, from various odds and ends which had accumulated in the sewing room for years. A The boys in the Manual Training shop were as indus- trious as the girls, jawing, sawing and planing nifty arti- cles such as piano benches, library tables, cedar chests and mechanical toys. All in all we had an excellent assortment by the time the twenty-first of December arrived and were excused early to add the finishing touches. The Bazaar attracted a large crowd, who proved its delight and interest in our progress and efficiency in a manner which substantially increased the library fund. The three booths, manual training, sewing and cook- ing, disposed of all their articles before the evening was over. The patience candy was consumed to such a su- perlative degree by impatient customers that it puzzles us still that some of them didn't become patients on the spot. A game between the Monroe and Sultan basket ball teams was scheduled for the evening and the crowd assem- bled in the gymnasium where it reaped bushels of enjoy- ment from a sharp contest. Our girls came out victorious, but our boys were not so fortunate. The Bazaar proved a stimulus to school life in general, especially along the lines of work displayed there. Interest was quickened and greater efficiency resulted, thus prov- ing the complete success of such an activity. NORMA BABCOCK, '24.
