THE EXCALIBUR Q3 unior' add ,Mdforg One eventful day in September, 1938-Freshmen trooped into Van Wert High School, blissfully unaware of what was ahead and of the fame they were to attain. The first few days Freshmen were scurrying everywhere trying to find out which classes were where, and how to get there. . Soon after everyone had finally settled down the class elections were held. The results: David McCandlisl1 as president, Dawes Holmes as vice-president, Dean Miller as secretaryg and Dick Morgan as treasurer. Shortly after class elections were held the Student Council representatives were chosen. Those Freshmen chosen to represent the Class of '42 were Frank Corathers, Joan Eggerss, Jim Lamy and Clark Pollock. The football season was a success and the Freshmen Class helped to make it so. On the 1938 football squad were Charles Albright, Nathan Bailey, John Coon, and Bill Tindall. One of these boys, Nathan Bailey, also won a berth on the reserve basketball squad. Many boys went out for intramural basketball, touchball, and softball. No cham- pionships were taken but good support and participation gave rise to a hope of better things. Freshmen girls supported intramural basketball and the B team made a good record. Girl Reserves, and G. A. A. also made up a part of the Freshmen girls' schedule. Winners in the American Legion Essay Contest were Constance Soldner and Jim Lamy. :NWA XX -4,-:Q Q First Row: Kenneth Conn, James Fraylick, Wilson Duprey, Richard Feigert, Oscar Hoffman, james Manship, james Perry, Fred Schlatter, Bob Richy, Bob Guinn.
