Music was provided by a small orchestra and refreshments were served during the latter part of the affair. As the admission was low and the idea of the dance quite novel, the whole affair proved extremely successful. Others like it were held throughout the year. The architects of the Sophomore Class of Fine Arts challenged the freshmen architects to a football game. Despite the fact that the field was quite muddy, the sophomores succeeded in severely trouncing the freshmen. The annual Soph Hop held the fifteenth of January proved to be one of the most successful affairs of the year, due to the effective cooperation displayed bv all three sections of the Sophomore class, the Engineers, the Margaret Morrison women, and the Fine Art students.

The members of the Sophomore class in Margaret Morrison had a number of successful affairs during the year. In keeping with the holiday spirit they held a Christmas party in Recreation Hall and invited all the freshmen. A large majority of both the classes attended, first to have tea and then to receive gifts around the Christmas tree. The freshmen extended their hospitality to the Sophomores by giving a Peppy-Puppy party which was held in Panther Hollow. It was very successful and helped to further extend the friendly feeling existing between the two classes. They then ended their social year with a box luncheon in Recreation Hall. The Sophomores in the College of Engineering began their season of activities bv challenging all the freshmen to a Numerals Rush which was held in the Bowl the Saturday before Thanksgiving. However, unfortunately, the on-slaught of the freshmen proved too much for the Sophomores and they failed to uphold their class numerals.

The freshman class of '40 of Carnegie Tech was first introduced into college life by a series of social events. Regardless of the school the freshman entered, he was given the opportunity to meet others at orientation talks, steak frys and weiner roasts, and at the Welcome Freshman dance. Plebe regulations for the Margaret Morrison freshman were immediately enforced following the Freshman week. Evidence of the fact was seen bv the prcdomincncc of yellow armbands on campus.

Miss Florence Craighead, president of the Freshman class, received the words of recognition and welcome from the president of the Senate. After a hectic week of technical tests, the Freshman Arts
