OIPHOMORiE CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Last year ' s Freshman class of fifty husky lads and iimid lassies has dwindled down to a Sophomore class of twenty- four. To moke up for the decrease in numbers, the class has put forth twice as much effort as it might have ex- hibited in normal times. With their own successful picnic of last year, the hair- cuts, and the night rides in mind, the group initiated this year ' s greenies in proper style. The majority of the members of the class participate in the organizations and the out-side activities of the campus. Many of its members hold executive positions in the literary societies, the Y ' s, and on the staff of the Re- view. Sophomores are well-represented in sports, too. Just this year some of the boys hove been called into the armed services; others have enlisted in the reserves. Take notice of this class! You can tell the serious Senior By his grave and lordly airs You can always tell a Freshman By the colors which he weors You can tell the ardent Junior By his academic touch And you can tell o Sophomore But — you can not tell him much. Officers: Northdurft, Kean, Cooper — President. Trebling with the trio. Nice shot, Sammy. Dorm doings.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Last fall we, the Class of ' 46, enrolled as mem- bers of McKendree, just as our predecessors have done for the last one hundred and fifteen years. Like any other Freshman class, we were green about college life. We did not know what to ex- pect, or how we would fit into the college scene, but it was not long until we caught the spirit from our upperclass friends, and became a happy port of the college family. As we fell into step, McKendree traditions be- came our standards. Memories handed down through the years became our memories. Among them lies our initiation week durmg which many of us became personally acquainted with Lake Beau- tiful and the chapel belfry. Just as inspiring were our moonlight hikes. In our serious moods we selected our officers, and settled down to be worthwhile Freshmen. We were proud to take on active port in celebratmg the annual hHomecoming and in sponsoring an All- School play night. Our country has called a few of us to its de- fense, but we who remain hope, as our first year draws to a close, that McKendree has benefited by our having lived within her walls. To those who will soon take our places, we give our welcome as we pass on as upperclassmen to do greater service for the school we love, our Alma Mater. McK.
