Hi, ‘ The Class of SO... Peals of laughter and the sound of happy voices rever- berated through the halls! Yes, it was school time again and “moving in day” for all new students at Coker. Smil- ing girls dressed in red and white checked pinafores were busy struggling with suitcases, boxes, lamps, and teddy bears—getting their “little sisters’ all settled in their new homes at Coker. These happy, energetic girls were Fresh- man Commissioners—only a few, yet a vital part of their Sophomore Class. They had arrived a few days before the rest of their classmates and, as representatives from the sophomore class, had “started the ball rolling.” A familiar face, a squeal, a dash, and a bear hug— the sophomores were arriving! One by one the class be- gan to grow and pretty soon the whole lot of them was here. Their second year was underway! With Billie Jewell Kissane as president, Barbara Dib- ble as secretary and treasurer, Laurens McMaster repre- senting the sophomores on Student Council, and Dr. Fahrner as their sponsor, how could they have anything but a successful year? With classes and homework to keep them busy the days began to fly. Soon September was gone and here was October with two exciting events in store for them. The first was the Fall Dance and what a time was had! Every trace of tiredness vanished and they were ready to tackle those classes again with a renewed energy. The second event, namely, the Song Contest, made them the happiest and most excited bunch of sophomores Coker College has ever known! They dood it again!!! With Laurens McMaster as director and Anne Davis as accom- panist, they won the trophy for the best pep song! That night at supper when the “we want the sophomores to sing their pep song’ rang out, they stood together and proudly sang—“ . . . Coker College, hooray!” Most of the sophomores were living in South this year. Faye Gurley scored high as she was elected House President of South Dorm. Her roomie, Bonnie Cone, was chosen to represent them on Joint Council about this time, tool November came in and along with it, invitations to a number of sophomores to join such clubs as IRC, Sigma Tau Delta, Biology Club and Athletic Council. Naturally the invitations were accepted and now the sophomores were well represented in most all of the clubs! Hockey games were in progress and they were really proud of their team. With cheerleaders out there lead- ing classmates in yells, the sophomore team was spurred on to victory in every game, except for a 0-0 tie with the seniors. The Hockey Banquet climaxed the hockey sea- son. The sophomores had other reasons to be proud as several members of their team made the Honor Team and tied the seniors for a double victory in the Hockey ‘Tournament. The same night as the Hockey Banquet, they took off for the College Club to have a Slumber Party. That name didn’t fit the party too well. They had a wonder- ful time, even tho’ the aftereffects were pretty bad. (Couldn’t stay awake the next day!) Thanksgiving holidays at last! From Wednesday ’til Sunday at home with families. Why couldn’t Thanksgiv- ing come more than just once a year?! Red and white were their class colors now and for the first project they sold mugs and jackets with the Coker College seal. They were popular with the girls and they made a little money, too! The first two and a half weeks in December they didn’t mind so much. It was almost Christmas and they’d soon be going home for holidays! The Christmas Dance was a highlight of the month—the Beauty-Cutie Contest win- ners were announced! Christmas drew nearer and all went Christmas carol- ing. Great fun, but so was decorating South! The Christ- mas tree was beautiful and the Mistletoe ball (kissing ring) was an old favorite. It was brought all the way from Richardson! Christmas holidays and then Christmas! They had one more thing to look forward to—Exams! Exams are not a pleasant subject so I will go on to the SOPHOMORE SKIT!!! They elected Barbara Roney, director, and Billie Kissane, co-director. They soon had a title for the skit, “And Away We Go.” And they went, too,—to South of the Border, to New Orleans, to Paris and to the Near East! It was very nice, if I may say so! Spring holidays came in April and they all went home again. But not for long for classes were right around the corner. It was about that time again—Class Day. Were they feeling pangs of sorrow? Why those lumps in their throats? Weren’t they happy to be singing, “Safe, now in the junior class’? Yes, they were happy—the happiest group of sophomores ever, Happy because they had just nae ed one of the most wonderful years of their ives
