SCPUCHCPC CLAIi MSTCPy Once upon a time there was a cruel, wicked old ogre. He got all the hoys and girls when they were about fourteen years old and kept them in prison for four years. Yes sir! and he made them study, too. Two years ago he got hold of about one-hundred and fifty hoys and girls and he said, “Now you study. If you don't. I'm going to keep you more than four years.” We all shivered ’cause we were frightened. After awhile the funniest thing happened—the old ogre stopped being mean, and we didn't mind him one bit. During the first month of our “term. we elected leaders (to speak for us in case we aroused the ogre’s anger). They were Charles Anderson, Bob Johnson, John Caldwell, Guinevere Reed, and Marian Wood. Dorothea Williams was chosen by the faculty to serve on the Margol Staff. Marian Wood was Freshman snap-shot editor for the Clintonia. Then our prison became a prison no longer and the ogre kindly allowed us to have two parties—one in December and another in March. One eventful day late in May we were brought before a tribunal (consisting of teachers) and tried (by being asked sundry questions). Having passed this test of our knowledge successfully, we were allowed to call ourselves Sophomores. In September we returned to prison and the ogre, to find that they had completely changed. The prison was now an enchanted castle and the ogre, a fairy prince. We were surprised and ashamed at our ignorance and cowardice of the preceding year. This year we (wisely?) chose a girl as our leader. Guinevere Reed acted as chairman of the council and Lawrence Jones, Marian Wood, John Caldwell, and Merle Edmiston were council members. Jane Kolp was honored with the position of Sophomore snap-shot editor for the annual. The first social event of the year was staged by the Sophomores. It was in the form of a Hallowe'en party. During our first year we were sponsored by Miss Wynd, but the responsibilities of caring for such an irresponsible bunch were taken over by Miss Marshall in the fall of '29. Owing to our new dignity as Sophomores we were allowed to have two Margol representatives. They were Raymond Brown and Fred Lewis. Again at the end of our “term” we were brought before a tribunal. The questions were more difficult than the ones before and showed more curiosity on the part of the judges. However, after a most harassing two days, the majority of us passed and were allowed to enter into that fairyland coveted by all Sophomores—the East Building. Fourteen Marian Wood.
