: Thg Melngif 1 Freshman Class Poem Bernard Anderson, you know, Is quiet where'er he may go. Edwin Anderson is a fine little man, He studies some days as hard as he can. Anita is our Freshman blonde, Of whom, we admit, we are all very fond. Archie Andrews, light complexioned? Yes! But mischievous? Well I guess! To his mother, I am told, John Bane is worth his weight in gold. Then we have Beecher, whose other name's Ray, He has his lessons every day. Dimples , you know, was the queen from the start, Of a. very good looking Sophomo1e's heart. Viola's home is far away, near the Ridge we are told, She never minds the weather, but comes though warm or cold. Next comes Harper, otherwise called Earl, Who says he's fond of an Andrews girl. Carl D.eWeerth, a farmer lad, Who at noise making isn't half so bad. Evelyn Glasford has dark curly hair, And she and Archie make a real pair. Who is this? Why, Gerald Higgs, He helps his father feed the pigs. Paul Higgs is our Freshman basketball star, At shooting baskets he's not below par. Huffy will beat every boy' we fear, In the number of girls' rings he'll wear this year. Donald McCann comes next on our list, He's one' of whom we know will do his best. Ruby's a brunette with black eyes and hair, Not very much of her, but she's all there. Last, but not least, comes Goldie Weeks, It's rumored that she's fond of a Texan sheik. E. G. and W.

The Memoir rf 521-fyfaf' Freshmen Class History 'tSchool days, school days, Dear old golden rule days, That old song comes ringing through my mind as I think of the happy, free- hearted children who first boarded the ship, t'Education, on that bright September morning just nine years agcsrosy checked lasses and sturdy lads trodding along with uncertain steps. Six or seven ran eagerly for the shore, anxious to board the ship. The water was still at first, and the good old ship drifted slowly for several terms, but through the guidance of our pilot we gained such an enormous Q73 amount of knowledge that it seemed as though our little minds could hardly contain it all. How quickly time flies! Before we realized it, we had passed several ports. How eagerly we rushed up the gang plank. After looking around, we found, to our great sorrow and disappointment, that many of our schoolmates had fallen overboard, but we were glad when we had looked around and saw that several more youngsters were ready to join us. One happy day we arrived at the port of Graduation. and when we walked out to receive our passports into that great port called The Community High School, we were almost overwhelmed by our feeling of great importance. That vacation was a long one-from the trip between that t'Eighth Grade Islandt' to this great port. Again we counted the survivors and found that we were two of a group of eighteen bright, happy children. On the first morning we Wended our way up to the wonderful Assembly Hall and intermingled with the great and wise people. We were often called 'tGreenies, but we didn't mind that as We were wise enough to know that as long as We were green we would keep growing. During the first month our crew, which was composed of Bernard Anderson, Edwin Anderson, Anita Andrews, Archie Andrews, John Bane, Ray Beecher, Wilda Baggs, Viola Bontz, Carl DeWeerth, Evelyn Glasford, Earl Harper, Gerald G. Higgs, Paul Higgs, Gerald Hufman, Donald McCann, Ruby Ramshaw, Goldie Weeks and Les- ter Willms, was organized with Evelyn as President, Paul as Vice-President, Ray as Sec- retary and Goldie as Treasurer. We were sorry to have Lester leave us the first month. We thought our crew was being distinguished when Paul was placed on the basketball team, but when the school organized a Pep Society, Gerald Huffman was called forth to be its yell leader. We were victorious when we won our basketball game with the Senior Class during the Inter-Class Tournament, but when we played the Juniors, we- Oh, We can't tell! Our school could hardly have had a Glee Club if our girls hadn't gone forward with their melodious voices. Our crew was highly entertained at a Christmas party at Edwin's country home during December. Yes, there was a Christmas treat with a present on it for each good boy and girl there. We realize we have three more ports to enter before our voyage on the t'Educa. tion is ended, but we feel that after we have completed this voyage, we will be ready to embark on the ship of 'tLife,', each to go his own way. .
