Fresh Fres i men?— Yes, fresh as a maiden ' s summer Irock. Ever since the very first vveel when we rlietorically sang, Are we down- hearted? , we have been shouting our deter- mined No, No, No! We wanted to show everyone just what makes us run. Sure, everybody is bound to get Iiomesick at one time or other, even at Bible College. The able encouraged the disheartened, amid sighs for Vermont, California, Chile, and other such furrin and distant places. At last we decided where we were headed and began the trek, some rushing right along, and others acting as self-appointed rear guards. New Year s resolutions in September can t exist for long, not at that pace! Charting and mapping the four-year route (some taking a rougher two-year shortcut), we adjusted the pace and settled down to it. Our nrst rush was not checked, however, until we had gathered up a group of Juniors and pushed right through the annual Thanksgiving football classic for the nrst Freshmen-Junior victory in the history of the school. After such a wonderful occasion we stood around for a couple of toots on the horn to show the folks our first impressions of the school, a nd were off again. Such chatter and discussion as ve had as we passed prayer days, classes, and assign- ments leading toward the turn of the year! We were going along at a nice clip when con- 28

SOPHOMORES The Sopnomore class has sometimes been considered as neither here nor there. That is. hen they attain tliese ranks, they have ceased to be newcomers, watched out for, helped along, and gen- erally excused lor boners. On the other hand, they are not ex- pected to have the promise of Juniors, nor the dignity and wisdom of those who are about to pass through the portals of their Alma Mater -the finished product. Yet tliere are advantages in holding this position -the Freshmen look up to them, there is the prestige of being sister class to the above mentioned dignitaries (even reflected glory is better than none), getting used to unanswerable question sheets and pop quizzes is a matter of the past, they need not shake in their boots for fear the Juniors will catch them on the Sneak, nor waste away to a shadow agonizing through slee|)less nights for fear the Seniors will get away. Not only that, they might do something to merit notice. For in- stance, upperclassmen are passed, and a precedent is broken when a sophomore becomes editor of the CeBeCean; or they might have the hrst class taffy pull (to the envy of all others), the best ol breakfast hikes and stunts, and a never-to-be-forgotten Sophomore- Two year senior banquet. They might— and these did! First Row: Marjorie Almand, Mary Jane Barrows. Warren Belford, Jocelyn Gordon (Secretary), Howell Gerow (President).

fronted by a sign declaring that the road was closed temporarily. Piling out, we dispersed in every direction to find occupation for those Christmas holidays. When ve returned we found the road open once more, hut were only started when the danger signal, e.xams, was seen just ahead. Applying study we slowed down for the curve but crashed through the se- mester on the other side, an accident vhich cost us several members of the party but al- lowed several others, who were trying to catch up with us, to join the group. Journeying up mountain sides and through valleys, over dusty roads, and under shady arches. e at last ere rolling along the final stretch of our first lap. In reviewing the map to see the territory covered, we rejoiced to see how the Lord had brought us through the blessings in Student Conference, and Spring Confer- ence, socials, devotional times together, and fello vship of kindred minds. How much we look ahead to the trip through Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, after the rest and oc- cupation of short summer months. FRESHMEN 29
