Show Freshman Notes We have been working hard this year to gain favor with Weber. In the extemporaneous speaking contest we have won all second honors by presenting such members as Wallace Walker, Derrah Van Dyke, Maroni Allan, Delbert Wright, James Leishman. and Merle- King. On April 12 the Sophomores and Freshmen tied in the contest, but after a second decision the honor was given to the other class. Our social affairs have been foremost in rank. The class parties have been enthusiastically enjoyed by the student body, especially the Leap Year party given for the new students is one that will be remembered. Of course we claim to have the prettiest girls in school and we are proud to mention that the queen of one of the student body dances was chosen from our midst. Throughout the year we have entertained the faculty and students by rendering programs for devotional. We owe a great deal to our class advisor, Mr. Pardoe, for honors we received and for the interest taken by the class. We have been very successful in athletics, having won the school championship in baseball. The boys have been working hard to gain the honor and they expect to be able to do the same the next three years. Senior Day On Friday, April 28, the Seniors were given full sway and they had a chance to show the student body that they were live wires. In devotional they gave a program which was one of the best given this year. At 11 :30 A. M. they departed for Hot Springs where the fun continued. After climbing the hills, they returned to a shady grove near the resort where lunch was served. In the afternoon they took a plunge in the briny deep. Lunch was served at 7:00 P. M., after which dancing formed the chief amusement of the evening.
