X FRESHMAN CLASS PAUL D. ELLIS, President. HELEN H. STUART, Sec'y and Treas. CLASS COLORS Red and Green. HISTORY s I , ONSIDERING that We are only Freshmen, a class history is something out of the ordinary for us, but as nothing succeeds likepsuccess, I will endeavor to tell you something of our class. During the first Week of school we received the usual initiations, and also since then We have received the Worst of the jokes and knocks. While still retaining a tinge of green, 'We Will soon be through our first yearvand on a smoother road to our distination. D While not claiming to be in the front rank in the mat- 4 l I K, l ter of brains and Wit, We hope in the course of two or three years to attain much knowledge, and perhaps more of it than those Who have gone before us. We have representatives on the base ball and foot ball teams, and during our High School course hope to turn our many athletes Who Will succeed in establishing the prestige of the Red and White to a point never attained before. Remembering that this is our first production for our interested readers, We will not trouble you with any more remarks, but ask that We be not judged too harshly. ' - HISTORIAN.

Item V-As the memorable battles of Troy, Marathon. Thermopylae, Bunker Hill, Gettysburg, and Manila, and also the campaigns of Napoleon, caused enough sleepless nights to the perpetrators of these atrocious deeds, and caused briny tears to 'flow in rivers from the eyes of their innocent Wives and children, We hereby request Mr. I. M. Martin to permit the Seniors, Hfuturus esse, to sleep in peace and save their tears for more noble purposes than en- gaging anew in these combats.
