CLASS HISTORY I The beginning of September, 1911 started a new epoch, in the lives of two hundred and twenty-five girls and boys of Saginaw and in the history of tne Arthur Hiil High School. One could easily be- lieve that some great event was taking place by the extremely up- roarious condition of the school in general, and by the an unpin i- ant color ot green pervading the Freshman room. For the first few days we did nothing but stare and look stupid. We were the object ot several public demonstrations in whicli Hie Court House watering trough and the Freshman class figured too closely lor personal comfort. Gradually, however, we accepted the role of respectable Arthur Hill students, and incidentally tor our own welfare, prospered accordingly. At the time all attempts to mold the great variety of pupils in the 1911 Freshman class into some definite form, seemed futile. But by persevering efforts we at last hit upon a class organization which proved effective beyond all hopes. The officers elected for the first year were : The class started its work by choosing its present class colors, dark green and white. The colors were selected to a view of com- ing years and certainly have proven very tasteful and proper. Be- sides choosing the class colors no other definite work was under- taken; but the class did more — it laid an extremely sound founda- tion for future work. The. following September witnessed the great falling off in numbers which usually accompanies the transition of Freshman to Sophomores. But the one hundred and twenty that remained did not forget the good start made in the Freshman year. The class began where it had left off in June and immediately started its work. Officers were soon elected, the following being chosen: Walter Stark — President. Harriet Geer — Vice-President. Herr Brady — Secretary. Earl Ganschow — Treasurer. ' ' Where, Oh where are the verdant Freshman ? Where, Oh where, are verdant Freshman ? Where, Oh where, are the verdant Freshman? Safe, safe in the Sophomore class. Jay Orr — President. Doris Anschutz — Vice-President. Walter Stark — Secretary. Earl Ganschow — Treasurer.
