lllllht-S pp ,lg tgg nfnuga , ' if L .5 375' aff S 'V 5-Ei A' ' 50 I, gat HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS It was on September the fifth, nineteen hundred twenty- one, that Central VVisconsin College opened wide her doors to receive that wonderful class of nineteen twenty-five. She saw in us a promise of unestimable success. She could see by the deep expression in our eyes that we came to build a class history that perhaps shall never be forgotten in the history of Central Wiscoiisin College. And she was not dissappointed, because we as sophomores have proven through our many activities our sterling worth. ' ldfe enrolled as Freshmen simply to please the Sopho- mores, who were suffering from an acute attack of Caput Magnus. Wfe were all looking forward for a bright sunny day but Thursday the fifth came and to our great disappoint- ment it rained rain, but fortunately it poured freshmen. On that day as we entered the presidentls office to register I admit that there were many shaky knees, but when we were greeted 'by the merry profs this shaky feeling soon left us tempvgrarily only to manifest itself again when the first recita- tions were given. We had indeed some grassy head-pieces, as we showed in our class work. Nevertheless, we were perhaps one of the most enliving classes that has entered at Central Wfisconsin College. The members of our cl-ass came from North, South, East, and Wfest. We were a very cheerful crowd and had no time to waste in those usual tears of homesickness. VVe were not afraid of those sassy sophomores as we had them out num- bered, and could easily handle them at our will. But there were some unlucky freshies, who were relieved of some of lawn occasionally. It surely was discouraging to note that the uppcr-class- men looked at us as a group of midgets in comparison with them. But wait! we will soon step into their ranks and then, we will indeed have the same opportunity that they were en- joying. Let us take a peep at some of the achievemeU'CS of the class of twenty-tive. Soon after school began, the Student Body held a meeting in the chapel for the purpose of dividing the students into three literary societies. It was decided that all the freshmen and the sophomore should belong to the UAmicitia society, and all the juniors should belong to the 'Z-Xdelphian Athenian. The Seniors and collegiates for the Ta Ta Pochonf'

rf Fw 5 J- TS' mi lf? - ..---1-Twfw , ' .fwwf'iL-.fw.DQe. c-i 23 '45 Q-- E l p if X ff ' ' ', fn We as members of the 'L-Xmicitia immediately elected our president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. We gave some very interesting programs which I am sure con- firmed the opinion or view of our being very active students. All through the year we continued our society work, and I dare say that we gave as good programs as some of the upper- societies. Both Sophomores and Freshmen had been practising for the nnal clash in basket-ball, and when this came the Green Bugsl' met the Sassy Sophs and the score tied showing that we were equally as good as they in basket-ball. Spring came and the feeling of superiority gradually left the upper-classmen and we became a student body of Hone. It was then that we as freshmen first realized that we were to build up our future and the future of our school, Cen- tral Wfisconsin College. lfVhen school closed, commencement came and we were forced to leave one another for a few months' vacation. Again' on September sixth, nineteen 'hundred twenty?-two, we found ourselves standing on 'the threshold of the Sopho- more year which we knew had many problems and possibili- ties in store for us. As we resumed our class-work we found that all the freshmen of twenty-one had returned to bear the name of sassy sophomores. Gur ranks had been increased by a number of new recruits. These have proven to be a valuable addition to our class. -Now we can look back upon our past year at Central Wisconisin College with an honest pride and look forward to the future with an earnest hope -and faith. Now that we have the privilege of looking at the freshmen of twenty-twro, we can imagine what a verdant looking sight we were. Shy and timid as they are, time will remedy those defects, as it has with the freshmen of twenty-one. Wfe note that great improvements have been made in debating and society work, and especially in class-work. As we have passed half of our College life, we cannot help regretting that we must leave behind the pleasures and ac- complishments which have been ours. But with so bright a past we can look forward to an even more promising future. On the whole we have an industrious and progressive class. lVe have learned that there is uno royal road to learning. Wfe realize that it is only by diligence in study and persever- ing effort that we can become scholars. XVe know, too, that if we want knowledge we must toil for it for as Ruskin says 6
