Freshman 'Class History Erra,re humanumf' To err fis Human As the little, fresh, green buds swell and burst forth on the trees in the spring, so we Freshmen rivaling the buds in freshness and greatness, swelling with pride, burst into Windsor Community High School, September 4, 1929. But just as the little, green buds later blossom into full blown flowers and then later bear fruit, so have We blossomed into full blooming roses, and are now the prize flowers of this High School. When we Freshmen entered school we did so with the feeling that we would be ignored by the upperclassmen and we decided that we would stay to our- selves, but We could not stay long in seclusion, for when the other classes per- ceived our intelligence, they sought us for advice and counsel. They now regard it as an honor to be accosted by a Freshman and instead of looking down upon us as we expected, they look up to us as models of exeellency in both behavior and intelligence. With much modesty we mention our chief' characteristics: generosity, honesty, superiority, bravery, compassion, sympathy, fearlessness, activity, loyalty, etc., etc. F With the aid of our class advisors, Miss Birkett and Miss Rixmann, we held our first meeting early in October. The following officers were chosen: President ............,.,..., ............. D ean Rozene Vice President ......... .,.......,... R obin Gregory Secy. and Treas ...,..,...... .................... N ellie Andrews Our real strength is exemplified in the rare ability to write English com- positions and translate knotty Latin constructions. We have contributed largely to the wonderful school spirit that pervades our High School. We shine, too, in the social whirl of the high fliers. In all this growth and development we have had our part: clearer ideas and broader ideals have come to us. We have felt the magic touch of Athena 's wand and though the knowledge that most of us absorbed does not burden us any, we have nevertheless profited much by the rich and varied experiences of this, our Freshman year. -MERL KULL.

l r IF fW'ith apologies to Kiplingj If you can keep your books when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you g If you can work although your fellows flout you, And make allowance for their languor, too, If you can do the square thing by your teacher, Nor ever keep your eye upon the prize, And, when you 're praised, not call yourself a preacher, Nor ever talk too smooth, nor look too wise, If you can learn, and not make facts your master, If you can shine--nor make success your aim: If, when your castle falls in grim disaster, You build it up, and plod on just the same 3 If you can see the fellow who has cheated Stand well above you when the term is done, And never hint you have been mistreated, But let the Future say which of you won, If you say no, when others may invite you To help them at exam-time on the sly, Nor ever let their threatened anger fright you, If you can look your teacher in the eye, If you can leave your game when study calls you, If you can leave your lessons for your play, If nothing new, nor hard, nor long, appall you, If you can sleep by night and work by day, If you refuse to win by merely blufling, Or wrangle out of honest work or such 5 If you deprive a hard job of its stuffing, If playtime counts with you, but not too much, If you can fill each urgent, eager minute With sixty seconds worth of work or fun- Yours is the school and everything that 's in it, And+which is more-you'll make the grade, my son.
