The ones we lost are Edwin Thistlethwaite, Betty Burbach, and .Nona Bushnick. The new pupils are .lean Colb, Margaret Rehling, Gordon Marlow, Robert Sheldon, Rob- ert Johnson, XYilma Morris, and Ruth Chesemore. In the middle of the year the Student Council decided to have school rings and pins, but left the seventh and eighth grades out. The class didn't like this and had a debate about why we should have rings. The affirmative won, and the Student Council representa- tive, taking it to the Student Council, got the rings and pins. 1 Last year we had Mr. Skewes, and this year we have Mr. Davis for Science. In March we gave an exhibit on electricity for Science. It was a very good ex- hibit attended by one hundred people and was highly commended. There was some talk about having parties for the seventh and eighth graders. XVhen Mr. Ryan was asked, he said that we could have them if we arranged our plans. However, no plans were made, so the parties did not materialize. XYe hope our class will be just as good next year as it has been this.

They came from all parts of the City and adjoining suburbs. In the eyes of upper classmen the Freshmen are of very little importance, but to those of the lower grades they rate high. Coming to High School from the grades is an experience not soon forgotten. The confusion of getting started in a strange school, new teachers, assignments in unfamiliar studies, new activities and clubs, mingling with older students, all add to the bewilderment. This is overcome in time and we battle on and keep our courage up for we know that we'll be Sophomores soon and other Freshmen will have to follow the same rough path. No matter what the old timers say, this class has a few accomplishments to its credit. Many members of the class have musical talent. Eleven are mem- bers of the orchestra which accompanies plays and programs given by the school. Freshmen belong to the dramatic, the service, and the debating clubs. Several took part in one of the first acts of the Christmas play and in plays given in the assembly. In the operetta given by the school, a Freshman took the leading femin- ine role. Many are members of prominent school clubs which took part in the various Vodvil acts. There are also a large number of the class interested in athletics. As a class we have made good grades and many are on the honor roll. Now that we have a good start, just watch us as Sophomores.

We in turn, are a definite part of Wisconsin High School. At every marking period we have been represented on the honor roll by at least one and sometimes as many as four of our number. We have done many other things in addition to studying. The boys had a basketball team, and the girls had speed ball teams. Mary Jane Marks and Patty Slidell belong to the girls swimming club and quite a few of the others belong to the Girl Scouts. In our remaining years at Wisconsin High we expect to play an important part in extra curricular activities. At Christmas Time our class took two baskets of f-ood and toys to a poor family. The committee that took them consisted of Guinevere Pekel, Tim Har- rington and Mary Belle VVilkie. They went with Mr. Skewes in his car. At the beginning of the second semester, two new people entered, Roland Lando and Cornelia Rogers. On March 16th, Mr. Skewes took our class on a hike to Sunset Point. 011 the way out, the class tried to identify birds as a means of recreation. When we arrived there, we roasted wieners and marshmallows over a camp fire. We played games and had a good time generally. At least one more outing of the class will be held before the end of the year.
