Jhe junior L iadd We, the junior class of nineteen hundred and forty-eight, feel obliged to extend our sincerest apologies to the unfortunate remainder of the student body, to the faculty, and to the parents. We realize that you, placed in competition with such a superior group, have not been given a fair chance. How could you have expected to outshine us in the Vaudeville, in looks, in sports, in prodigious intel- lectual achievements, and, last but not least . . . well ... in everything? In view of this fact we have felt it our charitable duty to allow a few members of the other classes to join A Cappella, Ensemble, and the various basketball, baseball, hockey, and football teams. In the Vaudeville our acts surpassed your unsuccessful, though earnest, endeavors. We are aware that you have struggled under these severe handicaps, and we wish to express not only our very sincere admiration for the herculean efforts you have nobly made to overcome these formidable obstacles, but also to extend our deepsst sympathy for your hopeless situation. Any more words would be superfluous . . . superfluous . . . superfluous . . . superfluous . . . superfluous. 28

He is approximately fifteen feet tall and weighs well over 500 pounds, because, don ' t forget, he is the whole class. He has faults, as does most everyone, but also he has many good points. Mr. Soph eagerly participates in school athletics and does quite well for himself. He is of average strength and is better coordinated physically than he is mentally. By that 1 mean he finds it hard to pull himself together and think things over with himself. Sometimes his mind wanders so much that he cannot even finish what he originally started out to do. Ahhhh! Don ' t think for a minute that this does not disturb Mr. Soph, because it does. By talking things over with himself he sees his faults, and then, because he is slightly ashamed, he takes steps toward correction of his shortcomings. Mr. Soph sometimes over-exercises his right to freedom of speech and is often bluntly reminded of it by his teachers and the upper classmen. Howsver, many times what he has to say is intelligent and worth listening to. It would not be exaggerating to say that Mr. Soph really gets around and holds his own with other classes. He also makes friends quite easily and adds his two cents to school activities. Last but not least, he has a twinkling open eye for the opposite sex, although you will seldom find him showing or admitting it because of his shyness. 30
