When told they would have to be known as Freshmen a look of utter dismay came into their e yes, and they wondered what such words could mean. But in a short time there was not a member in the class who did not know the meaning of the word and who did not think it cleverly applied. We worked hard, but the same old things happened ; only about two thirds of the number were able to survive; these with the few new ones composed the Sophomore Class of 1921, which proved itself a star class. Everybody was congenial but the weather man ; it seemed to rain every time we planned a hike but forgetting such small botherations we had many happy times together as Sophomores and went home for vacation enter- taining happy thoughts of, how shall we feel as Juniors next year? JUNIORS! That ' s exactly what we are. Twenty-two in number but work with double strength. The most of us are the same old Freshmen of 1919. But just a word for all the new members. They quickly fell in line with us and are happily carrying their share of the load without even a groan. Our class is well represented this year in all musical organiza- tions. Union College Juniors have the pleasure of writing the College Notes for the Mountain Advocate and we also feel that we are doing some- thing worthwhile by publishing the Orange and Black. The one thing that we try hard to do is to be agreeable with our beloved faculty advisor. We realize that we are still far from the top, but we are still striving for the time when we shall don our dignity as Seniors and say, Yonder lies the port : we must not stop here.

THESTESPEAN 37 CLASS HISTORY In the year 1920 a number of scared little boys and girls enrolled at Union College as the A ' cademy Class of ' 24. They were, as is the custom, dubbed Freshies before they had been there a week. But this class was soon to show its spirit, and ever since, we have made ourselves known to the whole school for our ambitions, courage and vim. We have had many wonderful times at our socials and picnics. We put on the English Drive Contest in which the Seniors and Freshmen lost and they gave a lively social for the Juniors and Sophomores. We gave a play, It Pays After All, which was written and staged by members of our own class for the English Drive. This was the first class in Union to have an Honor System and we are proud of the fact that it has worked successfully for two years. Everything this class has undertaken has been a great success and we owe many thanks to our beloved Mrs. Franklin. We even have crackerjack basketball teams and also a debating team boh of which have won high honors for this ambitious class. We have worked hard these two short years but with many new additions we hope to return as Juniors next year and with the ambition and vitality we have alwavs shown, we shall make a huge success of The Orange and Black.
