Secretary and Treasurer Sponsor, With one last look at the more or less level land over which they had traveled for the past eight years, the Freshmen began their ascent of the Trail of Higher Education. At first this seemed very strange to them, but, after a week of climbing, they became accustomed to it. They discovered small paths, leading from the main trail, over which they took many short hikes. Some of these paths were called the Adelphian Literary Society, the Evangeline Literary Society, Glee Club, Orchestra, Girls' Athletic Association, Sy- cohi Club, and Science Club. One trail, called Athletics, became especially inter- esting to the Freshmen. It was while on these hikes that the Freshmen became ac- Miss John Ovtiz Gene Harney Reinhart quainted with other climbers, who were nearer the goal, namelyg the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. Some Freshmen won honors while on these hikes, others were more proficient in following the main trail. On September 1, 1928, the Freshmen selected students to lead them on the first part of their journey. The officers elected were Sam Mabel, leader, John Ovitz, as- sistant leaderg and Gene Harney, manager of equipment. The Freshmen are much indebted to their chief guide and adviser, Miss Reinhart, who has patiently labored with the Freshmen in their climb, and to Whom is due much of the credit for the happiness and success of the students' first year. fPagc twenty

The night of October 26, 1928, the Fresh- men party was held to celebrate the dis- tance already gained upon the trail, The guides, or teachers, joined with the Fresh- men in their celebration, and an enjoy- able time was had by all. Their guides rendered the Freshmen aid in their climb, but required that they give their utmost strength to the task of over- coming all obstacles encounteredg not only because the pace of the Freshmen would then be swifterg but because this require- ment would instill in them a determinat- ion to overpower the difficulties which are bound to be present to some extent in later life. At the end of half of the first part of their journey, the Freshmen took a vacation, when for a short ,time they camped by the side of the trail. Upon again pursuing their climb, they encoun- tered hugh boulders, over which many Freshmen had to pass in order to fully complete the first part of the expedition. These boulders were called finals, and were successfully scaled by most of the Fresh- men. The Freshmen feel that they have ac- quired knowledge of many subjects, as well as beginning that which may be life- long friendship with their fellow climbers, in this first year of travel. They are anxiously awaiting the second year, an- other lap on the journey to success, and hope to cover even more ground than that gained in their first attempt at climbing to high altitudes.
