INTRODUCING THE PH Hi Yes, autumn found us back again for another successful year at the College of St. Scholastica. Some of our former classmates had left us, but new girls had taken their places in our mighty Sophomore family. It felt good to be called sophomores and not to be considered the youngest in school. We entered into our school work, our social activities, and our religious duties with an enthusiasm difficult to equal. The bonds of friend- ship, understanding, and cooperation were much closer this year. Winter was late in coming and with it came the always dreaded mid- semester examinations. The traditional sophomore Harvest Moon dance followed closely and was considered a great success. Three days of spiritual reiuvenation, our annual retreat, ended on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception leaving us content and at peace with the world and ourselves. The formal banquet in honor of the Most Reverend Thomas A. Welch, on the Thursday night before Christmas vacation, was the climax of social events for 1948. Vacation passed all too soon and semester exams were upon us before we realized it. Yes, it was a long hard pull but we made it. A month later we were confronted with an even more dreaded examination in the form of sopho- more comprehensives. However, with Easter vacation to look forward to we managed to survive. After vacation the biggest social event of the year was the annual Prom held in Rockhurst Auditorium. Yes, another profitable school year had ended but we are eagerly looking forward to a happier and more successful year as iuniors. OFFICERS-Left to right: M. A. Ryndc, Treasurer; R.

LEARNING THE WHY OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Busy writing various formulas and reactions on the board is this group of Organic students. Performing the experiments in the laboratory is important, but learning exactly what happens during these experiments is essential also.

This picture carries a group of girls being led into an appreciation of the great master- pieces of art by Madame Marie Bertha. Visual presentation seems to clear up terms and create interest.
