The Freshman Reception was held on September 26, 1930, at the gymnasium. The purpose was to get the Freshmen acquainted with the teachers and upper classmen. The president of the Sopho- more class gave the Freshmen a very hearty welcome, after which they marched to their places and were con- gratulated .by the teachers and friends. Then games were enjoyed. The boys were soon given their official welcome, while the girls were made to do various stunts. The boys and girls, both, were taken for a ride and walked home. A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by all, especially the Freshmen. The following officers were elected by the Freshman class: President, Helen Foster. Secretary, Rose Abelli. Treasurer, Mary Jones. Socials have not been held this year as regularly as in other years. One was held, however, at the end of the contest which was sponsored by the Crowell Publishing Company. Reds and Blacks were the two teams, and the losing team gave the other a pirate party. A day was set for the W. H. S. hike, but somehow or other the kids', did not show up, so, consequently, there has not been a hike thus far. During the Crowell contest, many magazines were sold. Part of the profit was turned over to the athletic associa- tion and part to the library. Prizes were given to those who sold a certain number of papers. The Senior play, which was presented March 19, was directed by Mr. C. F. Marble. The cast is as follows: Professor Pepp, a nervous wreck .......... John Stinchfield Mr. C. B.
