(Cotton blossom SOPHOMORE POEM JX 1916 we were forty-three Freshmen gay, Thinking only of ourselves and the present day, We were scoffed at but took our part For v e knew they didn’t really mean it at heart. 1917 found us Sophomores of number twenty-five, Ready to leap and make the dive Into the great river of knowledge and educetion, And to try as as we could to make no lamentation. W e struggle hard and try to set an example, For the little Freshies, upon whom we trample. W e Sophomores boast of a strong foundation, Which started with Adam and the world’s creation.. We are a very jolly band, The winter we’ll never mind, For with a bountiful supply of “cole” on hand. We’ll surely keep warm all the time. Our class has been doing double duty this year, While some have been conquering Kaiser Rill; The rest have been fighting Caeser’s battles anew, With surprising vigor and skill. Our hopes are many, our aims are high, Our chances are few and slim; But with our co-operation and the faculty’s, too, Wre’ll fight our fight and win. —F. V. M. —30—
