' Sophomore Class History It was in the year of 1925, during the month of September, that sixty guileless, unsophis- ticated, trusting babes in the guises of fresh- men entered the portals of that temple of higher learning, the Independence Junior College, to begin ,an unequal struggle with advanced education. The swaggering stride of the blase upperclassmen Csophomores who had served their apprenticeships as dupes in real collegesb caused a deep envy to grow in the hearts of these freshmen, and immed- iatcfly, there arose within them a desire to accept the mannerisms of the soph elite. As proof of their rapid absorbtion of higher ed- ucation, these freshmen became accustomed to the new life, and fell to work with a gring and the thing that couldnit be done, they did it. By this time, they were under the im- pression that they were a class, so they organ- ized and elected Harold Bullock to the high dignity of president, Katharyn Potts vice president, and Alice Featherngill secretary- treasurer. Thy pretended to love the work, and did enjoy the fun, and so passed as the first class of freshmen in the Independence junior college. With his gleaming scythe, Father Time mowed down another year, and the good Page 6 year of 1927 found the guiless babes trans- formed into dignified sophomores. But there still burned in their mighty intellects that thirst for knowledge which had brought them iirst to college. Again they organized, and elected James Gilmore president, Jack San- ders vice president, and Charlotte Ellsworth secretary-treasurer. The first true graduating class from the Independence Junior College has been a vic- torious one. With the class wagon hitched securely to a star, and with Prof. Francis C. Myers as the faculty sponsor to guide them, they have passed hours as minutes, and months as weeks, with Heeting time prompt- ing them to leave behind gems of greater bril- liancy in the light of school traditions, stan- dards, and achievements for the oncoming babes in the realm of knowledge here at I. J. C. So have passed two worthwhile years of work and play, learning and fun, leading the class of 1927 to the final victory of gradua- tion, that ultimate goal in student life that is a greater joy in anticipation than in dis- tinct realization. -Geneva F. Lanning.
