VVell, after no hindrance from these vicious animals, as 1 say, we went upstairs and found ourselves in the midst of a crowd of boys and girls, some of whom sympathized with us and some did not, as we could tell by the looks on their faces. After a while we were shown to our temporary seats, and given some books from which to study until we could buy some. About a week later the cloud burst and the deluge descendedg we were invited to a reception which was so kindly prepared for us by the upper class- 111611. However, none of us were killed, and we rather enjoyed it. During the next week the class ofhcers were elected: from then on till the end of the term we were only waiting until we could have a chance to initiate the Freshmen the following year. September 30, 1918 found thirty-five Sophomores looking forward eagerly for the time to come when we could frighten the Freshmen, but we were sadly disappointed for the lordly juniors took that wished-for privilege unto themselves. Most of the boys were ducked in the horse trough and the girls had to wear green mosquito-bar as hair-ribbons for a whole day. The class officers were elected in due time and the year flew along as though it had wings. The last day of school the student body gave a picnic, which closed the season of 1918. September 15, 1919 found only eleven juniors of the late Sophomore class of thirty-five. lt took about a week to settle down before we could do good work for our teachers. This time we helped incidentally to initiate the Fresh- men and receive them into the student body. On Friday night, April 30th, we gave four short plays, which were very much of a success, financially as well as otherwise. Twenty nine
