LaFollette, Prof. Conk Freshmen All Freshmen are brought to the campus for Freshman Week and, without the disturbing discords of the upperclassmen, are taught to sing. They sing a song some- thing like this, I am William Whittington from Chicago, Illinois, and who are you? It is sung in rather a monotone without much punctuation but it gains them notoriety and the acquaintance of many people so by the time the upperclassmen come back they can tell them how to improve the school. If they are not noticed, they attract attention by hoisting a Freshman Rag on the chime tower. For this they are soundly humiliated by being showered with confetti on initiation day. Later in the year they are given the opportunity to publish the Bark, a weekly news sheet which publishes as news what the Oak Leaves calls gossip and vice-versa. The principal difference between a Freshman and an upperclassman is that the latter has been doing the same things longer. To direct the activities of the Freshmen this year Fred Livingston was elected president. Marcea Friend, vice-president, Helen Barnhart, secretary-treasurer, and Jacob Meyer, Jr. and Galen Stinebaugh members of the executive committee. Ellen Jane LaFollette was council representative.

. Jackson, B. Brubaker, K. Dils, W. Snider, M. Barnhart, Dr. Morris, D. Blickenstai Sophomores Hello, George. Moved in yet? ' ' Yeah. I got my trunk unpacked. Same old place it was last year, isn t it? Having been elevated from the Freshman class to the dignity of being a Sopho- more, and having had a whole summer to reflect on the marvelous changes thay have undergone, the yearlings are suprised to find the school unchanged. There is the fountain, as refreshing on a hot afternoon as before, as romantic on a moonlight night — the same, only not so ominous. There are the same professors, except the one or two new ones where the colle ge has decided to expand, with whom the Sophomore can now exchange a familar smile of greeting, and there abide yet the same Wednesday nights, with the choice between an interesting Y program and the monkeys in the ten-cent show down town. All this he recognizes and claims as his own. Heading the Sophomores in their familiar rounds about the college were David Blickenstaff, president, Waveland Snider, vice-president, Marjorie Barnhart, sec- retary-treasurer, and Kathryn Dils, council representative.
