 -—THE CARDINAL' FRESHMEN We have just finished taking the first step on our journey on the Great Highway. In grade school we learned the fundamentals upon which we may base all our future learning. We tried to learn these well. Now we are beginning something new and different. The methods of studying and learning are much the same, but now we are studying more in detail the things we have already learned. Our fellow classmates are few in number but we do not consider this a handicap as we are all working together for our mutual benefit and towards the same goal. There are many others here who are striving to reach this goal. Although we were unaccustomed to this new life we will soon be able to fit in with the activities in this school. With such an advantage we are confident that in the future years our tasks and studies will not be difficult. Each day new and easier ways of performing these tasks are discovered. Those who know the way better than we do have helped us very much. They know our hardships and have been very considerate in aiding us as much as they can. We hope that next year and in the years to come we may be able to help those who are following in our footsteps. Being a small class in the beginning we regretted losing two or three of our members very much. For this reason there will be a sincere welcome for anyone who wishes to join us in traveling this Highway of Success. F—stands for “Freshies” of which we have twenty, R—stands for “rowdies”, we have quite a few, E—stands for energy, we Freshmen have plenty, S—stands for studies, which we have to do; H—means the heartaches when all “A’s” we can’t get, M—just for mischief, which always is there: E—is for everyone, friends we’ll ne’er forget; N—is for noise, which all classes share.

On the first lap of their journey they seem to be having a gay time for they are all singing and laughing together. They come into the valley and ate camping there fot the night. Just as the huge yellow moon is rising over the slope of the distant hills, they can be seen sitting around a large campfire; they are electing their officers for the coming year. They have Edith Buckley for their president, Dorothy Major, vice-president, and Elinor McGrath, secretary. They choose as advisor for helping them through the hardships of the year (and also Latin 1), Miss Moretz. Since that time they have lost a few but have gained one. On the second year of their journey, they elect for president. Willard Butt, vice-president, Victo-Winters, secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Schroeder, and as advisor, Mr. Serkes. Now the last covered wagon goes from our sight; another year is coming and bringing with it—who knows what? [24 1
