The Sophomoers rendered a re-
ception to the Freshmen last Fri
day evening at the High School
building. The new teachers were
also included in the initiation
ceremonies and the ordeals the
candidates were put thru were
sometimes startling. But all took
the jokes goodnaturedly and all
went well until the refreshments
were disturbed by outsiders. This
was a joke of another color and
came near ending seriously. But
all passed over and the Sopho-
mores proved what excellent en-
tertainers they were.
