SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY ap m A cool breeze was gently blowing as the II. S. caravan prepared for Its nine months journey, September 1, 1918, across the great Desert of Knowledge. The caravan with Emir-el-hadschs, or leaders. Sherman and Savage, was divided into four groups, each under supervision of a minor Emlr-el-hadsch. The first group bore a gay purple and gold pennant, upon which was the name “Senior, the second one. a green and white pennant with the name “Junior, the third, a blue pennant which bore in white letters the name “Sophomore, while the fourth carried a pennant of purple and white, with the nanxe Freshmen” in bold letters. It was a commemorable sight as an eager crowd of studious young persons found their respective places in th.- caravan. With wondering eyes and open mouths a group of forty-one cameleers climbed to their places on their favorite dromedaries of the Freshman group, some choosing the Latin, others History, and still others Biology. With Hmir-el-hadsch Congleton as lender of the last group they started on their long desert Journey. The Caravan mov.cd slowly but steadily for the work was hard each camel must be kept in straight line. This was the task of each rider, to keep his animal on the straight path. But the journey was not all work. With as great success as their old r companions the Freshmen cameleers gave a much enjoyed oasis party, winning praise from the more experienced. As bravely as did the Senior cameleers, the Freshmen withstood the scorching sun of discouragement, passed terrific sand storms of difficulties, and evaded any drought of A's until covering the last few miles with success they reached the large and beautiful oasis of promotion. The journey was over. Here the caravan rested for three short months and prepared for its second trip. September 1, 1920. Emir-el-hadschs Blanchard and Spitlcr took command of the procession while Emlr-el-hadsch McCauley, the little crowd of Sophomores. now reduced to thirty-six. onto their ships of the desert. Sonv? preferred to ride and drive the Goometery dromedaries, while others chose the Caesar, still others the Geography, the remaining according to their Individual tastes. The Sophomore banner was changed to the color of this group, purple and white, and the caravan started its second journey. With the experience of learning of the previous year most of the Sophmores overcame the difficulties of the desert. The casls patties relieved the monotony of the trip and, when semi-completed, a terrific sand-storm began to blow. The camels by instinct kn dt to the ground and Kmir-el-hadsch commanded all to hide their faces In the long hair of their animals. Tho sandstorm of demerits was upon them. Few escaped them. The following day the Journey was rerum d. Arriving at the second casis of the promotion, the caravan halted for another three months rest. The Sophomores, by diligence and patience w«re new Juniors. Here they are resting for the third journey, when they enter the Junior group and Journey on to the third and fourth cases of promotion. D. P. D. Page twenty-six
