There was not an enormous number of us but there was enough, and of course we possessed the essential attributes so we were given the appropriate name of Fresh- ies by our upper classmen. As we sat in that assembly fwhich then seemed so large and stately but now holds our fondest memories, we felt that we were the most conspicuous and the greenest group in the whole world and without a doubt we were. Our worthy superin- tendent, Mr. Collins, took the floor and introduced our teachers to us. Mr. Wetzel was our Senior principal: Mrs. Dellinger, our junior principal: Mr. Long, Manual Training and Mathe- matics: Miss Smart, Latin: Miss Fleisch- mann, Commercial: Mrs. Nichols, Bot- any and English: Miss Williams, Voca- tional: and Mr. Shultz, Music. We soon learned to love and appreciate our teachers and by our study and their as- sistance we were able to overcome our Freshman difficulties. Although the Freshmen were repre- sented in most of the school activities we devoted most of our time to study rather than to social affairs. However, in January the annual Freshman party was held and even the teachers joined us in our games of folly and made us feel quite at ease in spite of our Fresh- man tendencies. The following fall this same group, more experienced and self-confident returned as Sophomores. We gave our nick-name of Freshies to our in- feriors and also gave the boys of that class their initiating hair-cut. Again Mr. Collins was our superintendent but we .found a few new faces in our facul- ty. Mr. Bond replaced Mr. Wetzel as our Senior principal: Miss Long suc- ceeded Miss Smart as our Latin teacher: Mr. White succeeded Mr. Long as our Science and Manual Training teacher: and Mr. Small came as Music instructor in place of Mr. Shultz. Miss Williams resigned at the end of the first semester to talce a position in the Logansport High School and Miss Oberholtzer came as our new Vocational teacher. We became acquainted with our teachers more easily than we had in our Freshman year and work progressed thoroughlyiand rapidly. We had sev- eral parties during our Sophomore year and at each everyone reported a splen- did time. We completed our Sopho- more year and were proud of both our scholastic and social improvement. Again in l923 we turned our foot- steps toward the school building and found that there were only two changes in the faculty. Mr. Verran succeeded Mr. Small as our Music instructor and Mr. Shortz came as our new Commercial teacher in place of Miss Fleischmann. Early in the fall the class was organ- ized. electing the following officers: President, Charles Doyle: Vice Presi- dent, Marjorie Lower: and Secretary and Treasurer, Evea Rinebarger. We also selected Old Rose and Silver as our class colors and the American Beauty Rose as our Class Flower. The
