The Sophomores have been prominent in many activities on the Flintridge campus this year, so that it would seem that the prospects for next year's junior class are bright. In consideration of such amphibians as Spence McCartney, Chuck Little, and many more promising swimmers like Bob Adams, jon Mathews, Graydon Oliver, and Bob Smith, it is evident that the Sophomores will not meet their Waterloo in the water. This class also seems equally agile in other fields with Ken Norris and jack Hecht playing A basketball, and Keith Nicol, Mansfield Smith, Fred Kresser, and Francis Cobb playing B , while on the baseball diamond Ken Norris, Fred Kresser, and jack Hecht were noticed.

Oliver Wendell Holmes once wrote, The best part of our knowledge is that which teaches us where knowledge leaves off and ignorance begins. Unlike preceding Junior classes, the members of the class of '47 at least admit that they know little if anything. This attitude really is a pleasant change from that unbounded knowledge held by the juniors of the past. Nonetheless the junior class has other criterions by which it has gained glittering dis- tinction. The athletic field is inundated by outstanding juniors, crowding all other classes into ignoble submission. Apart from the juniors' alleged romantic achievements, it can be said without fear of contradiction that by far the brightest star in the yearly social firmament was the Christmas dance, put on by the ever-industrious juniors. In the years to come, the gap left by the junior class of '46 will not easily be filled. In contrast to this is the ease with which the juniors slipped into the gap left by the Junior class of '45.

Perhaps one of the best ways to find out about the life of a Freshman is to be one. That is what 18 boys are experiencing this year. During this eventful year of fun, the Fresh- man class is doing its part in upholding the school standards in the academic and sport worlds. An event of which the Freshman are proud is the winning of the high-school spelling bee. This year, as in previous years, the Freshmen have been greatly aided in their academic achievements by the efforts of our ever-helping faculty. There are several good swimmers in the Freshman class who will help the school swimming team during its long, thrill-packed season.
