We tried to follow the older ones and to fiy where they fiew, but we soon found that our wings were not strong enough to fly as high, and even when they were, we were not -allowed the same privileges. It seemed that the teachers had it in for us and took our precious E'sg sometimes for not looking pleasant, and sometimes for looking too pleasant. How was a poor freshie to know? The first' thing in the way of organization was a class meeting in which we elected our officers, William Pierce, president, Doris Mode, vice-president, John Brown, secretary and treasurer. We have those people to thank for our pins and rings. We had two snappy parties-the Sophs snapped most of the eats-but through all of this we finally passed the danger zone and somehow or other-we don't know how-we managed to pass our first year. In September of 1921 we thought we were very cocky as we came in as sopho- mores, but we changed our minds when we saw this year's freshmen. Were we ever like that? We came back with a very .different feeling. We knew we had had our time of being the goats of the school and we could begin to enjoy the fun of watching our kid brothers and sisters who called themselves the class of '25. At our first class meeting Don Guild was made president, Violet Duner, vice- president, Newell Lumsden, secretary and treasurerg Vic. Gustafson is our athletic representative, thus putting us on the map in athletics. We have had two parties so far. The first was held at Trinity guild hall in October, and it was great fun. Several of our star athletes enjoyed the party with usg this shows our good nature because no one invited them. The second was a skating party, and we surely had some wonderful skaters with us that night. We are waiting for the final exams, to see whether we shall become Juniors.
