 Three short years ago happy ex- cited band of Freshmen entered the Senior High school as the Mid year Glass of 1928. We were a brave little group. for We stood the taunts of the Seniors. followed the direc- tions of the misleading Juniors thereby landing in the Biology room where we were looking for the gym nasium. Indeed We were as green as the class color that the departing Senior Glass had willed LIS!
 Tt did not take HIS long to get acquainted. or to obtain a vel, or. ganized class. We elected our class officers. making Donald Horton. president: Audrey Pagan. vice-pres- ident: Marguerite Downham, secre- tary. and Alden Hevett. treasurer.
 The greatest event in onr Fresh man year was Class Day. Green could be seen throughout the school, The majority of the boys displayed their colors from the sdelines, the girls made green background up- stairs in the track. but some of the braver spirits ventured to dance.

James Scully and Fred Zehrer lent their running ability to the track team. Erickson represented Us on the base ball nine. and scully and Zehrer on the basketball squad.
