And how lorded it all over college, taking unto ourselves that which was ours and also as much of others rights and properties as We dared! Sophomore Rock was ours now and We guarded it jealouslyg it seemed to belong to us so much more since vve had had our numerals on it the year before. We e tried to impress on the Freshmen the dangers of sitting on Sophomore Rockg our rules for the Green Ones were thought to be most drastic and explicit. One evening however, Helen Bish- op our class president entered Sopho- more Song Practice with the news that the Freshmen Were gathering on Sophomore Rock! With one accord We filed out, determined upon being - . Y impressive and dignified, and in tones icily regular, splendidly nulln demanded the Whyfore of such behavior. Then in succulent voices did these Frosh tell us that the rules read, Freshmen shall not sit on Sophomore Rock. They Were standing on it! Laughter broke up the meeting and We returned to Whittier rejoicing that our foe was worthy of our steel. Incentive to outwit them Whet our future dealings. Early in the Fall term the class of 1917 recognized us as their sister class. Each Senior adopted a Sophomore, and in an impressive little ceremony Welded together bonds that were of deeper relationship than mere college friends-that were tinged with the more sacred intimacy of sisterhood. 59

1919 CLASS BOOK TEACHERS COLLEGE One of the most looked forward to events of our Fall term was the Dean's reception to the undergraduates. This year, alas! The class of '19 was barred out as a punishment for having painted our numerals on the Rock the Spring before. Resolving that these numerals be graven deep on the hearts of all at T. C. we played fair and stayed away. Some of us were rewarded though by our sisters who, in the protected recesses of their gowns, hid a portion of the goodies and with clever machinations brought the party tous! fgvbkr Q1 , 7tf mFi:l2s3,gWe fir- x fu 'W 'Y' Wfiw fmgh Eiga f as it 5 Qeivs?u 1 'WW 1 -M ft 2 WM 15:89 gg aff ,, S in N its Wsfsaws ' ' 1' 1 , ., - ,i - ' 4-551 , ' Q -' ff' '. .., lf, . - H: ,V Ar ., ?.f,q,,.45a -4-if . ,X - .5 UQ ,gn . q .

' The usual events of college life occurred, we followed the traditions of having Freshmen Walk,', then came the Sophomore play, Mice and Menii given in Brinkerhoff Theater. After Christmas we held our Hrst big party with real men -our Sophomore Hop in the Thompson Gym. We tried to adhere strictly to the path of gloryg we won the Hungarian Festival, a contest between the Fresh- man and Sophomore classesg our sports Cexcept our swimmingij were creditable. The final joy of our Sophomore year culminated in winning that Grand Event, Field Day! With hearts beating high, we looked forward to our next year, when We should be Juniors-upper classmen! ! and the joys of these we wotted not of! iiuniur 3Knutn5 ann knutns nut that sbs knutnsmbunur bn President . .
