JfreSfjman Class piston' One bright morning in September, twenty of us entered the new High School of Troy Township to enroll as Freshmen. We were all very happy to think we had at last reached our present situation. Before long Frederick Medley entered, making us twenty-one in number, but because of the great distance they had to walk, he and Sinsel Wheaton soon left us. Wade Ritenour then entered, but stayed with us only about a week, and then he and Hubert Lester withdrew, leaving only eighteen innocent Freshmen. The second semester Helen Bond enrolled in our class, bringing our number to within one of what it originally was. At our class organization meeting early in the year, we chose the following officers: President ........................................... Joseph Chase Vice President ............------------------------ George Gilbert Secretary-Treasurer ............................................
