The annual freshman initia
tion was held all clay Monday
Sept. 20. lhe freshman repre
sr nted different characters. They
afforded to the rest of the school
a great deal of amusement dur
ing the day with their foolish
and silly acts. During a short
assembly they sang the school
song, gave the preamble to the
Constitution of the United States
and did stunts to carry out the
meaning of their characters that
they represented. In the evening

gym after which a party was
held in their honor and they were
guests of the student body. The
school policy on initiation is for
one day only and no instruments
