:S Irvhlil' Pzinf' Cnunfy lligl Srfmvl iiaisturp nf the lass uf 1920 CTEORGE IQIEDER ltlight years ago, the students, who now form the l reshman Class of White Pine High, were started off to school by their mothers, with many precautions against bad associates and the evils of a public school, together with instructions as to how they should act, and to learn all they could. Last September, this same group of boys and girls, now mostly in their teens, entered lVhite Pine High School. livery since they had first attended school, they had longed and striven to become students in some high school. They had heard stories of the fine times, basketball and other athletic games to be enjoyed at High School, and now their dreams were to be realized. Still they had heard of the terrible things done to freshmen by the other classmen, so that when they entered the door for the first time and saw the Sophomores, across the room, all of whom seemed to say, Here's some more of them. Wait 'til school lets out. XYe'll fix them, the freshmen shivered in their boots. Since then they have become more.used to the wild ravings of the upperclass- men, and have even started to threaten the pupils who will next year begin high school life as freshmen. The Class party, the first one to be given by the Freshmen as a class, was a great success, as has been every other undertaking of the freshman class. The Sophomores in their usual role of roughnecks tried to break it up, but met with poor success. The grand event however, the one to which the freshmen can always point is the annual Rush, between the sophomores and freshmen, which the freshmen won so easilynfrom the tough sophomores, that it seemed like eating, some of that cake that mother used to make, and although the sophomores have tried to cover it up, Cas usual when they get defeatedl the fact still remains. XYith all the bullying of the sophomores f?l and the other things which fall on freshmen, they like their school life and intend to make the class of IQZC, the greatest the school will ever know. The Freshman officers elected at the first meeting of the class are: R,xyMoND FIRMAND, l'r.erfdmzf IQENT B.-XIRD, lrliff-lJI'L',f'iClTfllf lfnwix RD PURsE1,L, Secrefary l'fx11xiE'rT Ctr 1.13143 RT, 7'l'l'H.YI!l'L'I' l 1 f
