Glory! We greet and commend ourselves on the successful completion of our first year at Fordham. Without wishing to appear too egotistical, we thinlc justification is ours in feeling proud ol our past achievements and in recommending to the present Freshmen the only safe course: follow in our footsteps. We are newly possessed ol ahilities and practices hy virtue ol the lact that we have applied ourselves vigorously to the pursuit of learning for more than a lull year. We are now conversant with a good many ol the great English literary highlights, and consequently consider ourselves significant litterateurs. Vve have learned to recognize sophistry and to refute it with our much improved vocahulary. Vvith pride we gaze in retrospect. To the future we loolc with hope. lVlany will leave alter this year for Law School while others will stay. Regardless, however, of future possihilities, we will always loolc haclc at these two years as monuments to ellort well repaid and lriends new- made.

We can still recall the ter-- rihle naivete, with which we passed the trial of Freshman. The irrespon- sihility of new-found college manhood was lull upon us. Now we have sensed the steps of intellectual development through which we are to pass in the remainder of our university days. No longer did we have the tremendous desire to act lilce children hecause we now lcnew full well that we were grown up. VV e are hecome more thinlcing men. It seems that our contact with philosophy has had a special effect upon us spiritually. We are conscious of the meanings and lorces hehind what hefore seemed the automatic material operations ol the universe. Seriousness of purpose is hecoming more and more proper to our lives. Vve lcnow we have a struggle on our hands and wesre thanlcful for the eye-opening experience of Sophomore year and are loolcing for- ward to new worlds to conquer in the future .lunior and Senior years. For many this year writes Hlinisn to college lite. To others it means the passing of the hall-way marlc. Vvhether we go to Law School or on through college. these first two years have heen a vital experience. ml a y. , . rnllllll rv iw' 70 ,, ig, W 59 W if

' ?3i' 1 ll 77 Sophomore D President: JOHN MCARDLE Vicevpresident: ANDREW LANG Secretary: JAMES BOLAND Treasurer: JOHN D. O,CoNNELL AS we talce leave ot our Sophomore year, our tendency is to lootc tor- ward to the lorclly position of upperclassmen. We came to Sophomore year with an assurance that made us anxious to challenge the hest offered us. But polish and assurance never made a Junior out ot a Sophomore. Vve soon discovered how much was needed to meet this most tormidahle of college years. Philosophy, government, rhetoricp-'how we have struggled to lceep our heads aloove this tidal wave of tacts and theories. The lahor to the successtul conclusion ot our taslc was a tascinating process, and a terrihle one. All, however, was not without its pleasant reliet. 0,Connell,s ad- lilohing hrolce many a tension. Shea,s missing English text and Noonan,s many ditlziculties were a diversion to professors and students alilce. lVlarli Smiths detense ot his political opinions was well delivered and well re- ceived and we still haven,t discovered the wherefore ot Carr,s homing flights on Tuesday nights. Between tall and summer it was an enjoyahly instructive year. f g 72 I I w 'I ' f :fre f Q 5 7
