Colvert Phoenix Representative Class History THIS history is written only for the benefit of those unacquainted with Cumberland. Those knowing Cumberland University have unavoidably learned of the enviable record of the Sophomore Class. Eighteen out of twenty-four members entered the University last year as Freshmen and successfully met and solved all problems confrontmg the Freshman. The Sophomore Class of this year is the best enjoyed by Cumberland for many years. We have successful represent- atives in every organization in the University. Some of the best players on the basketball, football and baseball teams are Sophomores. Our team won the interclass basketball championship, and we also won the interclass debates — almost. With such a record behind us, we may safely prophesy a great future for our class. Page trven ' y-three

f theDMOEINII ■1 (Jur-gSjl iBl UNIVERSITV The Grand Finale (As It was told by ihe author to a Freshman). T last! Freshman, the whole world was seated at my feet; a look of happy anticipation on millions of faces, each countenance wearing a look of eager expectation. It seemed to me moments before Sousa ' s Symphony Orchestra rounded out the last strains of The Bridal March, Lohengrin, that thousands of arms were out- stretched before me, impatiently beckoning me to the speaker ' s stand. There I sat behind a barricade of lilies and ferns ; overhead blue and white flowers and evergreens seemed to wave in the morning sun. As I arose and stepped to the rostrum I reached my hand toward my trousers ' pocket, pretending to clear my long black gown out of my way, I found that I had lost my manuscript in the preliminaries. A swoon came over me, and a dizziness almost made me collapse, and I felt that four cars as an Academ had come to naught. Suddenly I felt the muscles in my arm contract; then my whole body got tense, and then as 1 felt my heart sink back to its normal beat, I knew that my will power had overcome the apparent weakness. I stepped to the edge of the platform and began my discourse in a calm, but steady, tone. After each sentence I noticed that the faces which in the beginning seemed so eager to hear my oration appeared to relax slightly. As I neared the middle of my oration there was a din of confusion thruout the audience, which after another moment turned into panic. People were running to the edge of the audience; others were breaking through the middle tier of the crowd. Without any warning to me, a deafening clap of thunder almost shook me off my bearings, and, at that, the audience seemed to scatter in every direction. The barricade of flowers in front had faded, and the firmament overhead had changed into a blackening cloud. The storm raged. The wind in its terrific gusts almost hurled me off my feet. The platform seemed to be rocking to and fro, while the screams from the audience that followed each peal of thunder staggered me. I did not have nerve enough to look down toward my hearers, for fear that I should fall headlong from the rostrum. The thunder continued, louder and louder, and as the vWnd blew swifter I knew I must be falling. CRASH ! CRASH!! The second charge of lightning struck the platform and When I awoke I was temporarily paralyzed on one side, I could not speak for several minutes. I glanced around to take my bearings, first looking up to see if the platform remained. I only saw on my bedroom wall, hung high toward the ceiling, a large block C on a background of maroon. I felt my head to be sure I was myself. I could not locate my right eye for a large lump on my forehead. (Continued on Page 150). Page Iweniy-five
