FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY President — Ronald Moore Vice President — Bert Delong Secretary — Mary Baker Treasurer — Ila Marie Williams On the morning of September 6 not knowing just what was in store for us, we walked into the school 'house with long, grim faces. At the beg’nirng of the Freshman year there were thirty students in the class. At the present time there are twenty five. During the first class meeting the above officers, with the exception of Ila Marie Williams, were elected. Bert Hall was the first treasurer to be elected. Due to the fact that he quit school Ila Marie was elected to fill the vacancy. The Sophomores enfertained t'he Freshmen at a reception. Each Freshman was presented with a cap with a nursery rhyme printed on it. They acted out the rhyme. Other games were also played. A buffet luncheon was served in the music room with Velma Dean presiding at the table. We hope we can keep as many in our class as there now are all through high school and hope to accomplish much during our four years here. 17

As we looked over the group, we found two new faces added to our population since last year. In the afternoon we elected our officers. Our firs gro t und ’ tak;ng was the problem of initiating the thirty one “green freshies.” We brought them to trial on October 14, 1938, after which they were considered onest members of our high school. In January George Rogers loft school, but our number was ago n attained when Eva Sherman, Homer High School, waa added to our closs rolh Howeve in March, Mary Thurston left school and once more we are but twenty three in number. Many of our group are interested in extra curricular activities and make quite an add’tion to our sports. Two of our members are officers of t:.e Student Council. All in all we are rather an important factor in the high school. 16
