....... WHITONIAN ...... FRESHMAN CLASS On September ll, 1934, twenty-five Freshies Cas green as they make 'emb entered Whitehouse High School. Mr. Raymond Daniels became our class advisor and was burdened with the task of gently guiding us through our first year of higher learning. we were pleasantly surprised to find that we now had Dorothy and Alfred Meyer in our midst, in ad- dition to the twenty-three members who had survived the final examin- ations of the eighth grade. Later in the year we gained another member, and lost two following that: so we finished the year with a membership of twenty-four. Soon after the beginning of school, we held our first class meeting and elected the following officers for the year: President Phyllis Montrie Vice President Horace Allion SecretaryeTreasurer Willard Weber Later in the year, we chose cherry red and white for our class colors, and the red and white oarnation as our class flower. In order that we all become acquainted with our new members, and renew our acquaintance with the remaining members of our class, we held a weiner roast at the Waterville picnic grounds on the evening of Sep- tember 26. By bribing Mr. Daniel's sister we found that his birthday was on December third, so we planned a surprise party for him at the school. He surely was surprised. we presented him with a pair of gloves so that he would have warm hands as well as a warm heart. In looking ahead toward the end of the year, we foresaw the need of funds for indoor balls, bats, and other articles we might need. About this time along came Mr. Neil Huntzinger, a representative of the Crow- ell Publishing Company. It didn't take us long to accept his propo- sition, giving us fifty per cent of all the money we collected in a mag- azine subscription campaign. In all we sold enough to earn for the class a net profit of 3l7.l8. This was regarded as a service to the people of Whitehouse and vicinity by encouraging the buying and reading of good magazines, in addition to proving the fact that we, the Fresh- men, could earn money for ourselves in this manner. At the end of the contest, the losing side gave a party in honor of the winning side, who furnished the entertainment. It was evident at this party that many of us had made changes for the better during the year. On April ll, seven Freshmen, along with scholars from other grades in high school, journeyed to Waterville on the school bus to compete in a scholarship contest. With many qualms we are now looking forward to those nerve-wrecking final examinations which are fatal to so many, but we have hope that at least a few of us will weather the storm. In glancing back over the past year we feel that it has been a suc- cessful one for the Freshman Class, for we have been well represented in the Glee Club, Hi-Light staff, Annual staff, and various other school activities. So, as this year comes to a close, I am sure that the maj- ority of the Freshmen are better and wiser members of society than they were last September. Jeanne Bradley .............31-----.
