Sophomore Class History September —Back again—thirty-seven full-fledged Sophomores, ready to mark off another turn of the wheel on our road to knowledge. Marjorie Park, acting as chief of our expedition, with Shirley Knapp following close at her heels, in case the task become too exhausting. Our finances fall into the willing and outstretched hands of Mary Williamson, and Harold Gibbs acts as our secretary. Cheery greetings—exciting summer reviews—and a host of new freshmen stumbling under our feet. Get¬ ting acquainted in Senny’s room with her guitar and dancing. Big Sistei responsibilities taken over in a sympathetic manner. No spinning of tales and mis¬ informing these innocent inferiors—experience had taught us! Picnics with a cheerful cozy fire and singing. Philip ' s House lucky to have a Helen with a guitar, The Vermont Symphony Orchestra entertains—and the Sophomore Class transfers to Rutland for the evening. Ice and snow—our athletes come into the spotlight. Generous Dudy, our all-round sportsman, willingly spending afternoons with beginners in skiing, while A1 and Mary Eleanor give valuable time teaching the would-be-Sonjas how to skate. The ping-pong tournaments end, Senny proclaimed “college champion.” C. N. S. now celebrates the Christmas season by gay festivals. The annual banquet followed by the traditional Yule log ceremony. The Sophomore Dramatic Art class pro¬ duces an original nativity play; also a production for the kiddies, “Toy Shop Window, ’ when Christmas dolls awake and live. A Christmas tree—Santa Claus—and gifts in merry groups on campus and off. Christmas vacation—realization that our year is already half gone. The annual Sophomore Hop and that popular hero of fiction, “Ferdinand The Bull,” in all his glory, smelling the flowers. Barb Slack—cool, gracious, capable, shouldering all the responsibilities. Winter—sport’s season brought to a close as Rudy is heralded “King of the Carnival.” A Birthday banquet, with skyrockets and capsules in a world five thousand years hence. Then, first hand experiences out in the field. Enthusiasm—laughter—unrealized abilities brought to light. Honors to Mary Williamson, Marjorie Dix, Jeanne Corcoran, and Doris Woods— newly elected members to Alpha Lambda. Spring flowers—sunshine. June creeps upon us and much too soon we find the time for goodbyes is here— promises, and yes, tears. Graduation! Our one desire has been and still is that as a Sophomore class we contribute this to the advancing professional standards of our Castleton: the highest percentage in the history of the college of those returning for further study. It is with this hope that we say, “Until next September.” and a Shirley to harmonize. thirty-seven
