The BREIDLIN vw - WV Sophomore History , T0 ma A Sophomore now that june is here ! is the chorus of the Seniors' lament. The Freshmen echo it but with a happier expression. Their turn is yet to come. In some junes this desire is less heightened than in others. If the Sophomores are conclud- ing but an uneventful school year the Seniors see nothing in it to mirror their own hectic past. If, on the other hand, they have stepped to the foremost in the social and intellectual life of the school, their would-be superiors look back wist- fully to their own good old days. Lately the refrain has burst forth with inten- sified longing., For the Sophomores have reached the acme of admiration by reason of their re- markable accomplishments during the past year. It is true that in their studies they have won no fame. It has seemed to be a period for ab- sonption, for laying in of new ideas and philo- sophies. It will be for the succeeding years to prove the value of this one's accumulation. But in all else they have received applause. On the football field, amid hoarse cheers, a Sofphxomlore has carried the ball to make the cherished touch- down. In the cage, their quick strategy has brought many a doubtful issue to a favorable conclusion, They have contributed markedly to every other brand of athletics also, and have won laurels with conspicuous ease. Nor has it been a desire for selfish aggrandise- ment that has prompted such valor. Only by the inspiration of lofty ideals -can anyone reach the heights. So it was because they were ready to lay all their honors humbly at the feet of their Alma Mater that they Won such unstinted praise from the other classes of the school. For they have excelled not only in sports. Each morning, from the orchestra pit, we have been reminded that the varsity is largely composed from their number, and on occasions when they have deigned to give us special selections, we have received them as a melodious testimony of their musical ability. Yet if one is adept in studying the fine shades of admiration, that per- son will find it deepest for their activity in the societies of the school. Perhaps this is because it is a well known fact that While they have been prepared for athletics by their Freshman teams and for their musical harmony by the Reserve Orchestra, this year has been their first in the social life of the school. Narrowly they were watched for any sign of gaucherie. None was evident. With truly remarkable sang-froid this year's Sophomaores, especially the girls, acquired the social graces. These young ladies seemed to find their sphere in the various societies to which- they have been admitted and immediately began to take active part with easy adaptability. It was soon plain that they were taking their place as leaders of the school. Such success might easily have turned the heads of wiser people than they, had they no such element as the Freshmen to keep in their place. It has sadly been hinted that Freshmen have unflagging memory Where wrongs committed against them 'by the Sophomores are concerned. Perhaps it was they, as each practical joke or snub has been recalled, who have cast slurs and innuendos on their illustrious schoolmates. And could it be that these same children, to crown their mischief, have proclaimed that the so'phs have an unwritten creed which is: To be a Sophomore is to be the cleverest, most important. and most exalted person in the worldf' Such egotism can be assimilated by none, It could not help but bring slightly amused glances from their advanced school-mates and murmurs of dumb- conceit. But the Sophomfores with sturdy spirit proved by their actions the slander of such a re- mark and before the end of the year compelled those same little Freshmen grudgingly to admit that there were some Sophomores who were a pretty good sort. What higher comtpliment than such a one can possibly be paid them. Nl ' Mr'-1 l l 18
