ENTERTAINMENT Our entertainment year started with the initiation party which the sophomores gave the freshmen. On the morning of September 24, a day which the freshmen shall never forget, the girls came dressed in bib-top overalls, knee boots, woolen shirts, a bow for each leg, a man’s felt hat, a necktie, a suitcase, and a mouthful of paraffin. The boys came clad in a girl’s robe with a pillow pinned in back to resemble a bustle,one bare leg and one stock- inged, one high-heeled shoe, a bow on each leg,a corsage of beautiful vegetables, a clothespin necklace, and last but not least, a suitcase and a paraffin-filled mouth. All day long we were subject to sophomore hazing. IXiring the noon hour the sophomores paraded us about town. Then they gave us whisk brooms and toothbrushes with which we had to sweep and scrub the sidewalks. As we were troop- ing back to school, Constable Lawrence Steger arrested the whole freshman class for disturbing the peace. Later we found he was only joking. In the evening we were given a horror-provoking trip through the torture chamber. The evening was concluded with a wonderful lunch. We invited the last year’s soph- omores back for our Hallowe’en party. We enjoyed our- selves by playing games and finishing off the evening with an appetizing lunch. We spent the first two hours of our Christmas party go- ing caroling. Then we came back to school for games, lunch, and our gifts. Ted and Quentin T. H. S.
