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.

The first thing we did was to look around for some suitable victim upon whose shoulders to place the responsibility of managing our many affairs. We held a meet- ing and the general choice was Lowrie Wheaton the finest possible class resid t. , p en The vice-presidency went to Henry Llosch, while Meribah McCall was elected secre- tary and treasurer. When we entered high school we thought ourselves fairly wise, but the upper classmen had to take us boys down a peg or two by means of a gentle initiation before we decided that we didn't know quite everything worth learning. After we had our class pins, the girls began to talk about having a class party. As the boys soon became convinced that this would be the proper thing to do, we held a fine party at Central Hall. As for athletics, we may not be as well represented as the seniors, or as ex- perienced as the juniors, but time will prove our mettle. Harold Larson and Ray Lederman are good material that will be developed in time to represent the school. All we ask of you is to watch and wait. We shall learn. HENRY C. LOSCH.
