Such tiny Freshmen! Hut luckily (perhaps unluckily for them) they made enough noise to be heard, and were immediately pounced upon. In brief, they were lassoed and tamed. However, lassoed or not, they made themselves known around school. Adele Guntor proved to be a poetess at heart. Several of her poems were considered good enough for publication. Dorothy Smith, following in her sister’s footsteps, entertains at many programs with her singing. Dorothy Watson, as a dancer, helps to prove the versatility of the class. And have you heard James Coffey play the piano? These are only a few of the talented ones of the class! I’m sure that more will make their appearance soon. They soon settled down to hard work; and, as was shown by the number of names which appeared on the honor roll, they seemed eager to succeed in their work. A fair percentage tried out for the various clubs and activities and I’m sure that this year’s Freshmen will make names for themselves in the records of the school. There are always some students who do not know exactly to what class they belong—these are the Mid-years. In spite of their shortcomings, the Freshmen make up a lively class, and we hope a successful one. STAGES OF ANCIENT HISTORY Once there was a Freshman. As tiny as could be. He became a Sophomore. A rough, tough boy was he; Next he was a Junior, Quite gay and flip to see; Now he is a Senior, Sedate and manly he. Pape Twenty-one

FRESHMEN At an early meeting and with the help of their adviser, Miss Glodkowskis, the following Freshman officers were elected: President.............................Adelk Gun tor ITice-President.....................Dorothy Smith Student Council Member.............Franklyn Dugas This year’s Freshies, like all other first year students, acted unaccustomed to their surroundings. Some stumbled up the steps, some fell, and others crawled about. “Where did all these rooms come from?” “Stick close to me; these people look kinda tough.” “I’m going home; we don’t have so much room to get lost in there.” Such and various other remarks were heard by the upper classmen (who, of course, weren’t too far away).

» » » Organizations SELF-GOVERNMENT PROVES HELP IN STUDENT MANAGEMENT In the present-day school system the trend is for democracy. Our school was a leader in this movement and in 1924-1925 a student council was organized to aid the administrators in forming school policies. The members consist of two representatives of each class. The president of each class is automatically a member and one other member is elected from each class, excepting the Senior class, which has the right to select two members. If the student body feels that anything about school needs adjustment, they can bring it up before the Student Council; and, if action is thought necessary, the matter will be attended to. Since the Student Council represents the voice of the student body and is elected by the students themselves, the laws enforced by them are more strictly adhered to by the student body. The Student Council really means the self-government of the students, and this fact tends to keep cooperation uppermost in the mind of the student body. Enforcement of laws, therefore, is an easy matter. The Council meets twice a month to discuss school affairs with the principal, who represents the faculty. So far their work has been very commendable and they have made many valuable suggestions and have successfully carried them out. School spirit is the thing they strive for and the very nature of the organization is reason enough for its success. STUDENT COUNCIL Back Row—DuRas, Anderson, Slykas, Crew.
