• . 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

Junior girls spend many hours in activities. Newspaper clippings are saved in scrapbooks for later reminiscing. • • juniors Sauntering about campus in worn slickers and dirty gray saddles, the Juniors represent the lower segment of the elite upperclassmen. They return to school with assorted collections of dance programs, ticket stubs, and other souvenirs. Also uniquely characteristic of this class are crib-notes for third-year language courses and an im- munity to No Doz pills. Through concentrated efforts at daily lessons in the Commons, they become proficient at bridge. Juniors are a rare group. They can even remember when I.U. won the Big Ten! One of the bright events in any junior girl ' s life is getting pinned. Here, she tells the secret of her success.
