SENIORS -(Q -l-lhtati o ' TL (2U5i o 1938 September Ibch, 1934 . . . how long ago it seems, and yet again it might have been only yesterday! Who can forget the feelings we had as we dro ' e into Bethany that cold, rainy Sunday almost four ' ears ago For five short days we were the center of attraction, and then . poof ' . , came the sophomores ' It wasn ' t long before we learned that wc were only Frosh , and we had better watch our step. We had hardly recovered from rushing week w hen we were notified by the sophomores that we would ha e to purchase dinks and handbooks . . . price — 50c each. Result — meeting of the F reshman class in Commencement Hall under cover of darkness, and a de- cision to pay only 55c for both Outnumbered almost three to one, our tormenters gave way- Remember the snake dance all over town that followed our foot- ball victory over Fairmont . , the only one of the season How im- portant and grown-tip we felt when we went home for Christmas vacation ' How young and inexperienced those high school kids seemed ' Hardly had we settled down to sttidying again w hen c.xams were upon us, and being only breshmen, most of us burned the pro- erbial midnight oil ho w ill forget the row that followed the stealing of that notorious look from the Phillips Hall cloor Remember how the young males surged up the hill in protest when dates were prohibited ' ' And how skillfully Prexie Cramblet broke up the famous pajama party that followed The Prom, Arbor Day, and exams followed in swift succession and we found ourselves no longer Freshmen Stich a grand ' n ' glorious feelin . What a difference a few months made! We w,ere now Sophomores with all the rights and privileges thereof. We showed the incoming class our power in a tug-o-war across the Buffalo that ended in a free-for-all in mid-stream, after the rope broke the third time. Plenty of excitement for all when the Buffalo thawed out and covered the surrounding countryside with ice and excitement. It wasn ' t very long after this that the beatitiful Ohio went on a ram- page, and everyone cut classes to walk into Wellsburg to see the flood . . . yes, even the faculty! 24
