THE FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshman Class arrived on the campus more than fifty strong last September and far outnumbered all other classes. Its members are, of necessity, affected by this perilous era during which they begin their college careers, and many do not expect to coipplete training without interruption. It takes courage, indeed, to begin one's college training under these extenuating war circumstances; for orientation is made exceed- ingly difficult by the shadow’s of friends and neighbors, comprising the local draft board, which promenade the halls of Cresson. The hats of upperclassmen go off to these wearers of the green who know not what tomorrow may bring. Tomorrow's Lincoln belongs to them. May they be preserved to watch the sun rise on their Com- mencement Day. OFFICERS President......... Vice-President.... Secretary......... Treasurer.........

The Sophomore replies, But I can dream, can't I? The tale of the Sophomore, widely reputed to be wise in his own conceits, has become legendary. The Sophomore does not think he knows everything. He only knows how much he doesn't know, which is usually equal to the capacity of a match-box advertisement. That’s what makes him smart. It is only human that the phenomenal rise from slave to master with dictatorial powers should be accompanied by a feeling of im- portance. I am a sovereign entity ... I am Homo Sapiens Superieur . . . I am a Sophomore. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS 28
