S0llll0Ill0lf0S Someone, back in antiquity, said, lully oblivious to the tact that he was giving man a poor alibi in the case ot any and almost every irregularity, variety is the spice ol lite , As for variety, this years sophomore class has an abundant share, but as to the merits of this quality we will not attempt to comment. Amongst this contingent we at Flintridge believe we have one ol the oldest assortments ol humanity that was ever gathered together at one place, Brewster tsixty-nine Russians-barehandedl Benedict, as every one in second lunch will swear, is undoubtedly one ol the most gifted story tellers that ever graced lair Flintridges oak-studded hills. We lind D. Mark- ham, Frazier, and Iorgensen most excellent company, that is, during their periodic migrations from the depths of jolly Bud Lyndon's swimming hole.

He is Comparable to the mouse who has almost reached rathood, The junior is an unruly, jealous individual, slowly breaking away from the servitude that accompanies lower classmanship and grasping greedily at the position of dominance that is soon to be his as a senior. This metamorphose is usually accompanied by an uncontrollable rest- lessness and many ot the juniors are often seen gawking around the campus performing strange antics. But besides trying to master the change oi position. the juniors tind time to consistently nag the seniors and to make bold acclaims of what is to happen come senior ditch day, Disregarding these unwarranted quirks, the juniors are tairly normal and will tEd.---we hopell be prepared lor the grave responsibilities that will contront them next year. 30

Lett to right Spencer Murray Ioe McLain Gilbert Smith, Brll Miller, and Bob Streander r 1- S Il m 0 n A freshman, as a rule, in the opinion of the freshman, is Gods happy-ga lucky gift ot the poor suffering heathen on the earth. As he enters the fresh' man class he realizes that he has now become one of the fellows . But con- trary to the ordinary, this year our fledglings are a meek and gentle lot, Though small in number, the class speaks well for itself in the school events. McLain swims a nice 220 and plays on the golf team. Smith played on the basketball and baseball teams and did some swimming. Murray holds up his end of the scholastic duties along with the other two. Bob Streander went East at mid year and was doing well to that point, So, even though the fresh- man class is notoriously beaten by the upper classes, ours was able to muster sufficient strength to hold its own in school activities. 32
