Freshmen We are the class of '48, At all the parties we congreqate. As this is our first year we are quite shy. But give us another and, My! My! We watch the upper classmen with pride. Hoping and praying to follow in stride. We've met many new friends from farm and city, And take it from us, we think it no pity. By now we know the faculty quite well, We hope they'll like us, and time will tell. We cannot elect officers when the rest of them do, We wait 'til the second semester to prevent taboo. As usual, we dreaded but one situation, That was, as you know, our initiation. But after it was over, we all did agree, That the sophs threw for us a fine party. We returned the party with the greatest of ease, Even with quavering voice and shaky knees. But we think it's fun and really great To belong to the class of '48. Page thirteen

ORGANIZATIONS The secretary preserves our club activities in her minute book Almost I feel the pulse-beat of the ages. Now swift, now slow, beneath my fingertips. The heart throbs of the prophets and the sages Beat through these bindings, and my guick hand slips Old books from dusty shelves in eager seeking For truths that flaming tongues of ancients tell; For the words of wisdom that they still are speaking As clearly as an echoing silver bell.
