SILVER AND BLUE nv History When I begin thinking on the theme of the history of the Sophomore class I can look back over two years of the most engrossing college life and see a history that is quite credible. We Sophs came to college on a bright September day of 1930 with high hopes and aspirations that touched the ethe- real blue of the heavens, plenty of courage, freshness, and, in fact, not a little greenness as was shown by our first motto Green but growing. Those days of going to college that we had all dreamed about, and pictured mentally so many times in high school were now immediately before us. We got off with a good start at our first class meeting, our roll numbered one hundred and forty-five, the follow- ing ofiicers were elected: Harvey Rodgers, presidentg Doris Purcell, vice president, Glenn Jolley, secretary- treasurerg and Miss Alta Sproull and Kankakee Anderson, faculty advisers, As the year rolled before us there were days of joyous accomplishment, and, we must add-some days of dark- ness when we realized that there was so much more in this old world to learn than we had ever dreamed of in the Cock-sureness of our senior high school days. Our class was well rep- resented in school activities, in sports we were extremely well represented, as also in music, debating, public speaking, and other extra curricular activities. When registration day for the fall of '31 came we found some of our members no longer with us, several had gone to school elsewhere, others stopped to work, and death had claim- ed our beloved Ruby Smith. How- ever, at our first class meeting a splendid class spirit was shown. Jesse Ray Gunn was elected president, Mar- garet Coleman, vice president, Frank Moore, treasurer, Elena Stephens, secretaryg Miss Alta Sproull and Mr. Tracy Byers, faculty advisers. This year our class has piled up an even more enviable record in basket- ball, baseball, track, and we are well represented in the orchestra, band, choir, melody club, debating, Syrreb and Georgian Literary Societies, and other clubs of the campus. We hope as we come to the end of this year, that the coming year may find every class member in college fill- ed with determination to make an even greater standing as Juniors and so prove to our beloved Founder and to our friends that we will live up to our! motto, To thine own self be -trife. 3 How beautiful is youth! how bright it gleams With its illusions, aspirations, dreams! Book of beginnings, Story without end, Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend! There's something good, even noble, about anyone who does his job well. JUST SMILE A cheerful word, a sunny smile To those we meet each day, Are things that make our life worth while, The little things that pay. For those that own a smile and song The skies are always bright, And the world can never seem all wrong When we ourselves are right. Page Twenty-three
