field, and began learning, under the tutelage of their coach, Mr. Edson, the rudiments of foot- ball. The goal toward which they were striving was developing a team which could defeat the juniors in the annual football classic, the freshman-junior football game. This they suc- ceeded in doing, on November 7, to the tune of 14-0. The team was piloted by its captain, Harold Drever, who called the signals, and who, with many of his team-mates, will undoubted- ly furnish good material for future Aggie football teams. At the close of the football season, the freshmen athletes turned their attention to basket- ball. A large number have reported for this sport as well. From this group the team which will represent the class in the class tournament will be selected. One freshman, Harold Drever, has been chosen to play on the squad. Not all of the efforts of the freshmen have been expanded in athletics. During the months of October and November four freshmen made an average sufficiently high to place their Back Row—H. Olson, M.

TRE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class is made up of a group of students who have taken an active part in the activities of the school. It is made up of approximately thirty girls and seventy boys, which makes it one of the largest groups enrolled as freshmen in the history of the school. Very soon after school began in the fall the freshmen called a meeting for the purpose of electing officers and the representatives on the various standing committees of the school. On the Social Committee the class is represented by Orin Toso and Beatrice Beninga; on the Religious Welfare Committee by Pearl Bosshardt and Harold Drever; and on the Athletic Committee by Mabel Monson and Hero Maertens. The freshmen lost no time in showing their determination to launch a successful career at West Central. An unusually large number of boys reported for practice on the football Berdeen Hagen, Treasurer; Kathryn Kay, Secretary; Almer Kruse, Vice President; Miss Pedersen, Mr. Edson, Class Advisers; Richard Engstrom, President. Back Row—M. Jorgensen, G. Moe, A. Peterson, L. Lainen, H. Olson, G. Jacobs, B. Sundgaard, H. Nicholson, L. Schmidt. Front Row—D. Leuty, A. Davenport, L. Brown, V. Schuster, B. Roberts, F. Wille, L. Nordin, B. Roberts, S. Asplund. Wh aor aR ; ¥ ne one et J fr 2 i } ; { hg need nid ae | ; a i ATED Re Ree ne HIE

Several freshmen have responded to the call for debaters. Although they will very likely fail to make the team this year, they will gain some valuable experience. Many others are taking an active part in the musical organizations in school. Others are members of the Rifle Club. Hero Maertens and Kathryn Kay represent the class on the Student Council. On December 16 the freshmen held a hard-time party in the Dining Hall, at which they demonstrated their ability as square dancers. Another social event of a similar nature is planned for the winter term. The Class of 1941 promises to be an active group who will make a decided contribution to the progress of the school within the next few years.
