As is the custom, the Sophomores gave the rooks a good old initiation at the first of the year, but the Freshmen took it goodnaturedly and agreed that it helped a lot in the way of getting acquainted. They entered, Mother Goes on a Strike” in the inter-class play contest and came in third. Maurice Irons and Gloria Lay took the honors for the outstanding actor and actress.
