7 OPERATION SOPHOMORES N 'Tenshun! All right, you guys and gals, you're no longer brash tenderfeet. Having graduated from the ranks of lowly Fresh- men I'll expect you to act like there are some brains in your heads Companies 206 and 207 are your assignments. Courses will be taken fn biblogy, religion, geometry, and English. OH! by the way, you might welcome Private Dwayne Illes who transferred from Camp St. Joseph's High in South Bend, Indiana. See that he gets acquainted with everything. That's an order. Dismiss! H HHow do you do, I'm the court recorder. Who's on trial, you ask? The Sophomores. HTheir crime?n Failure to understand geometry. The prosecution has just taken the stand. First witness Pfc. Bob Schramm.H His it true that during the month of October you were so busy getting magazine subscriptions that you had no time whatsoever to study geometry?N UIt's true that I did get a lot of subscriptions-eighty-seven dollars worth to be exact, but as for not studying geometry, well, it soon became apparent that after a month of it I, and everyone else in class were tunning into mixed-up squares trying to figure it out. All we did was go around in circles.N NAnd so it goes....Alas, the Sophomores are sentenced to a mouth of concentrated study on geometry during which time all out- side activities are forbidden.H nMy name is Sergeant 0'Rougke. I'm here to brief you on your basketball team-the puppies. It ought to be a good team, a real good team with such capable men as Jerry Munda, Jerry Cassidy, Jim Walz, Ronny Sharp, leading the field. I want you to attend all of their games and cheer them up on to victory. That's an order.n The Christmas formal is the social highllghg of the year. Karen Trunk escorted by Andy Hutmacher, and Brian Donahue squiring Carol Medley are among those attending the yuletide dance.
