• . sophomores A sophomore emerges from the freshman mass- es as a lower upperclassman. He is now proud of being an old I.U. student and shows it. If he was a pledge, he is particularly exultant to realize he is now an active with his pledge duties far in the past. If he lives in a dorm, he shows his superiority by explaining the facts of life to the newcomers. A pink and white Ford, a red convertible, or maybe a ' 49 Ply- mouth also gives the sophomore a feeling of superiority. (Cars are simply forbidden fruit to freshmen. ) His cloud is jarred a little when he learns the Freshmen enroll before him. Many girls now have the distinction of living in sorority houses. A sophomore, through previous freshman experiences, qualifies for leadership positions in extra-curricular activ- ities. Another honor bestowed only on a sophomore is a term paper for English W-103. Many hours are spent digging into aged ma- terial in the library the day before the paper is due . Oh, the sophomore leads a sad life, but just wait ' til next yearl A little more sophistication, but we still enjoy the common touch. The glory of having a car anil not lioint; a freshman are two of tlie advantages of being a vophomore. 22
