Sophomore Class History From the dying embers of a successful but not forgotten Freshman year emerged this year ' s Sopho¬ more class. Fired with ambition for whatever might come, we initiated our year ' s activities with the tradi¬ tionally hearty welcome for our esteemed Freshmen — a whaling good time was had by all. Distinctive and most original talent was unearthed during the daily courts. Judge Pressler a la moustache presided with proper cognizance of the old adage of spare the rod and spoil the child to the evident discomfort of some unfortunates. Our solo flight into the realm of social events was made on October 6, when we com¬ bined the final and most terrific of court sessions with an informal dance, held at the dorm. The battered guests of honor rallied their forces to present two most diverting skits con¬ cerning Little Nell, Bishop and Pressler — most ably impersonated. Highlight of the eve¬ ning was the brilliant and successful debut of pie-eating contests for the season ' 39- ' 40. Our eminent baritone, Mac Morgan, a senior on paper but a freshman at heart, pinch-hit for a bashful frosh, who even then failed to defeat the sophs. As well as possessing superior intellect, the sophomore class excells in the field of sports, having captured the basketball championship of E.S.M. Interclass Sport Competi¬ tion. So, having proof of possession of both brains and brawn, we the Sophomore class, have only to acquire that most desirable virtue, persistence in study and practice makes perfect. If that seems a bit incoherent, it ' s because we are rejoicing greatly about advanc¬ ing into the sacred realms of upper-classmanship next year, after suffering two endless years of virtual ostracism. Just watch our smoke! RUTH BISHOP, Sec ' y Class of ' 42
