MICHAELS Freslnman Class History 1l928s29 One fine day in the beautiful autuinnal month of September, in the year of 1928, sixty-seven boys and girls elaimed the distinction of being the Freshman Class of the W. 0.11. S. Three of the pupils heeame diseouraged and quitg Dean Rozene became seriously ill and was compelled to relinquish his studies, and Margaret llennigh, due to the removal of her place of residenee, was also forced to leave. This left a total of only sixty-two of the original sixty-seven. The first several days were filled with intiniidations and confusion for theni, hut the master intelleets of the members of the faculty quickly wrought tran- quility out of this chaos. Soon came the night of the initiation. lip until this time the Sophomores had remained indifferent and aloof to us. On this night, liowever, they welcomed us to their bosoms, and showed sueh aspirations for our friendship that we were nearly overwhelmed with joy. After getting better acquainted with our various teaehers, we found that instead of being heartless automatons Qwhieh had been our first terrifying impres- sionj they had hearts of purest gold, and had more interest in us and our work than perhaps even we ourselves.

Alg'ehraie and historieal difficulties, whieh heretofore lad seemed lIlSlll'lll0llllitllllv, now heeaine mere infinitesimal stepping stones in our path to faine. NVe have a line, etlieient eorps of teaehers, a fine Freshman f'lass which was well represented in the orehestra, and we are proud of them. Perhaps the two things of whieh we are the proudest may he said to he the taets that we helped to eoiupose the good old VV. U. ll. S., and that we have several promising' basket- hall players. The liatin class is a eredit to the sehool and proved its worthiness hy pleasantly entertaining the pupils with plays and readings at Uhristmas. Hur elass also furnished one of the eheer leade1's. lVe feel that we can honorably say that we are as good a. Freshman Flass as eau he desired. This in part is due to the interest which our class advisors, llliss liirkett and Mr. Miehael, took in our work. Our sueeess is largely due to their eitorts and we are very grateful to them. They divided the l+'reshinen into two seetions and we then eleeted Russel flurry as president, Harold Haldridge as viee president, and lloreue lienuet as seeretary-treasurer. These two divi- sions held elass meetings onee eaeh month. At these interviews the scholars learned the art ot' pulilie speaking' and debating. After finishing' the term as Freshmen we' hope to become Sophoinores and try to uphold to the hest of our ability their eonilnendalile reputation. After ln-ing: Sophoinores we aspire to take upon our shoulders the duties of the Juniors. From here it is hut a step to the honor of heing called Seniors. To have aeeom- plished this purpose is to have ascended to the loftiest peak of our high sehool ainhitions. -Eugene U.
