mum H z A t: ,q emmnmr u m .Wmv I :z Freshmen Girls What a frightened mob of Freshmen crowded the gym- nasium on Registration Day! With What timidity and trepida- tion did they enter the portals of Elder! With what Wide- opened eyes did they search for their assigned rooms! The poor Freshmen! How every one pities them! How ignorant and dense they are thought to be! All the other students deprecate the idea that they were once Freshmen. However, the Fteshies must put through a hard year. They must become accustomed to a new life; their studies are dihicult; and each Freshie, way down.in the bottom of her heart, is haunted by a fear of being lost in the corridors. There are four classes of Freshmen Girls at Elder. Some of these follow the general course, while others grapple With the commercial. The fundamentals of Spanish and Latin are the most difficult for the Freshies to grasp, as these are so dif- ferent from what they have ever before studied. I Notwithstanding their many hardships, the Freshmen Girls entered into whatever activities they were permitted. They turned out in large numbers to root at the various athletic games. Entertainments and dances were also well attended by the girls of the First Year. Cheer up. Freshies, your trials are nearly over. You can now look forward to the time, when you will be upper-classv men. Next year you Will be quite at home at Elder. New duties will be imposed upon you. If you fulfill them obediently, and with pep and school spirit, I am positive that Elder Will be proud of you. MARGARET NABERHAUS. : y nb- Cfg.

Sophomores Isn't that some sophisticated sound? No, not sophisticated. that's not the right word. Then let me say there is something high-sounding in the magical word of Sophomore . Of course there is. I myself, clearly remember the remarkable senw sation I felt When referred to as a Sophomore . Didn't I feel 'ibig though? See! Didn't I tell you so , is just ring- ing in my ears. Someone is saying: HIsn't she the most ego- tistical piece you ever came across? That will never do. So I must start on the assigned subject Every Freshman looks forward, oh, so eagerly, to her Sophomore Year, the time when she will no longer be looked upon as ignorant. Nevertheless, they do not receive as much attention as the Freshmen. They are merely insignifmant Sophs; still they can and do exert their superiority over the Freshmen. There are at Elder two Sophomore classes of girls. These classes struggle With geometry. Spanish or Caesar; they become acquainted with Shakespeare, Gray, Milton, and other famous authors; history holds no terrors for them; and they tackle biology with vim; perhaps some have mastered the difficult art of stenography, and as for bookkeeping, why they could keep : books for a king. Who says the Sophs have a snap? E The Sophomore girls turn out in full regalia at all the ath- mmmmmm munummm'nm u mum letic contests. The A Division even traveled to Milford to attend a football game. They surely have school spititl Do the Sophs miss any dances or receptions? Just try to tell any one of them that they do. It would be beyond their E comprehension Here is at fitting opportunity to say Farewell to those students who have completed the Commercial Course and who will not enter the portals of Elder next semester. So. Sophomores, keep at it. Make your class one hundred per cent in studies, in athletics, and in social affairs. It sounds difficult. but try it anyway. Oh. I almost forgot to say that the Sophomores possess the gift of indefatigable humor, which . helps them over the tough road of a high school career. I am E sure that this class will measure up to all that Seniors are ex- E j pected to be. MARGARET NABERHAUSl Twentyenine
