Class of T93 3 FRESHMAN 'YEAR AREERS have begun in strange places, but few college careers have commenced in jail! There, however, originated the professions of at least the masculine element of the freshman class of nineteen twenty-nine. Little did the antagonistic sophomores realize the disastrous effect of such treatment on the morale of young innocents. But the New Student's Reception soon erased the degraded expressions occasioned by a night spent in jail from the faces of the recipients. Revenge of a jail bird is great - if given an opportunity. On our first class day the sophomores were royally defeated, the freshman flag remaining on high. Crganization of even miscreants being most necessary, the first to hold the presidential ofiice of the class of '33 was Wayne Gilman. To assist him Rachel Bishop was elected vice-president, Virginia Cass, secretary, and Owen Stephens, treasurer, for the first semester. The second semester new officers were elected to the positions of vicefpresident and secretary in the persons of Agnes Plain and Mildred Heath. Professor Adams was the faculty advisor for the full year. The first real advance made by the group was in the dramatic production of She Stoops to Conquer by Cliver Goldsmith, in which Claralouise Lavis and Wilbur Lay had the leading parts, and in athletics, in which Ned and Bill Shaw, Zeke Raines, Bill Wood, Everett Fleming, Paul Streit and Ruth Shaw were participants. Thus a year begun amidst the sordid was terminated with acclaim. A SOPHOMORE YEAR ITH THE return of the class of '33 it was seen to have diminished considerably -in Q fact, from the goodly number of thirty to only fifteen members. Some of the missing had gone into business, into other schools, and one into matrimony. Mr. Adams, too, had left and Mrs. Singleterry was elected to fill the vacancy. Though weaker in support, the '33 flag was kept flying on Class Day, much to theldisgust of the numerous freshmen who had had their fill of subordination previous to Class Day. But such was the inspiration of revenge, or perhaps it was merely a distaste for jail! As for leadership during the sophomore year, the Shaws had it - Ned Shaw, president, Ruth Shaw, secretary, and Bill Shaw, treasurer. For variety and to further democracy, Agnes Plain was elected vice-president. Hurry, Hurry, Hurry by LeRoy Arnold, the sophomore class play, more than typified the pervading spirit of the class-the pervading spirit of the school. After cavorting through the comedy with Esther Mitchler and Zeke Raines in the leads, we cavorted through the accrediting campaign, the first Homecoming celebration -- selling nextto the highest number of tickets - and through athletics with eight representatives. Thus the half-way mark was' attained, and all eyes were focused ahead to the duties of upperclassmen. . j Page twenty-three
