THE N AVILLUS pressed 1n one way or another However It must be remembered that a freshman should always laugh at any Joke expounded by the Wlt of a senior who IS so much wlser than the former that the freshman takes par tlcular P31118 to agree and laugh with the latter for 1f he does not he finds himself declining on the social ladder rather than cllmblng Yes It IS sad to relate but the freshman finds himself being trampled upon most extenslvely but most Justly by all seniors at all times except when gum erasers or paper is needed or some piece of work has to be done and some errand run On becoming a sophomore an individual IS looked upon with a llttle less contempt than us ial by a senior This is only true however 1f the 1nd1v1dual proved while still a freshman that he was wllling to become a slave to all upperclassmen but more especially to the senlors Sopho mores also are expected to serve as walkin gift shops but I am sorry to say that their supplies are a b1t less easily accessible than those of the freshmen Maybe it is because they become stin ner as they grow with experience or perhaps it is because they are trying to prove to themselves that they aren t really af1 aid of senior demands but whichever is actually the case It may be stated that by applylng a little friendly pressure most demands are fulfilled by these 1nd1v1duals However the sophomore him self becomes a wee bit elevated at this stage for he too now has the fresh men to order around but the latter may be fortunate enough to be as big as the sophomore and thus put an end to any sophomore bullxmg Such physical inequalities hate been known to exist between seniors and fresh men also but they constitute no drawback because the senior has learned to use his head to get things from the wi orld by th1s time and thus no dras A senior is more llkelx to deplore and r1d1cule the IUHIOFQ than anv other of the underclassmen Howex er this degradatlon may be for the most part justified in n lmerous respects and since it has never been un1 xersally proven as to which class should be most treated as the underdog all concluslons must be left to the 1nd1x1dual himself It IS also quite ev1 dent that compared to the other classmen the 1un1or IS certainly usually without exception the most insolent and overbearing particle of humanity The fact that he may be haxmg 1llus1ons at this stage of the game of be coming a senior may account for a part of th1s msolence Whatever IS the cause of ihese so called stralned relations with our immediate successors there IS one time when most of us find It convenient to forget all difference with them and even partially acfept them as being among, our numb 1 That tlme-and please note that that IS the only time is during our chem istry perlod which because of a lack of time money and prayer not to mention courage we are compelled to share with the 1un1ors Howevel thls does not prove too much of a drawback for It seems that this year especlally there is much brain matter among them and this proves to be qulte a help to the seniors who it is sad to say are lacking IU chemistry geniuses It is lmposslble to describe exactly how one feels upon becomlng a but there IS an aloofness about the whole thing that even Webster 1n h1S glory would not be able to find words to express On behalf of the senior class I wish to express the hope that due to our shining example .usausersusavsavsduser-s4vs4vs4vs.4rs.4vsAvx4rsnvs.rs4vs-vsus4us-rs-nx4vxns4vsnvs-vsarsns , ' 7 . 7 1 , . ., 1 1 ' Y !
