Sophomores- Yes We Are Collegiatett We had survived a year and three exam periods, but it was not until we saw the frosh struggling with those English I papers that we realized the significance of being Sophomores. Behind us was our first Sing-Song in which we had tied with the seniors for second place. Dr. Cunningham took his place as one Of our mem- bers for the Erst time, and the Parasols of ,50 had shown the rest of the school that we were going OfEcers: B. McClavc, Sgt.-at-arms; B. Wright, Treasurer; J. White, Vice-Presideiit; F. Grant, Secretary; F. Eggcrsted, Sgt. atiarms; M. Fishcrkellcr, President; Not pictured: M. Ruark, RecorderaofaPoints. to be iitough competition. Unusual talent among our group was spotted. Frannie Grants original radio script was produced on a local radio station with an all-Coucher cast. We had achieved the reputation of being a talented group of freshmen and it was up to us to preserve the reputation. The 1947-48 school year was heralded in by a Class picnic at Mary Fisher that proved 3 held Gimle sophomores hnd occasional diversion at Ashburtons.

Jolly, Carefree Freshmen as that of the sophomore sitting next to us and the color combinations wc dreamed up could hold their own anywhere. We were busy organ- izing our Class too and in our second term 6160 tions we voted Joan Clouser to be our president. Shortly after this we received our Class banner at Sing-Song and presented our class advisor, Dr. Moment. We felt very business-like when we voted to have Class dues tthe only'class to have themt and we used part of the money to buy OPECial Class stationery. We took part in school activi- ties, subscribed to Weekly and some of us found ourselves in important oHices after the spring elections. Now Winter Cotillion, and May Day are be- hind us. But we are COHEdCHt that we have al- ready made our presence felt at Coucher. We accepted fashionis decree on the new look and while many of the upper Classnien retained the old look for Class wear we impressively swept the steps of Coucher Hall and Mary Fisher. From all indications this is only the beginning of a successful headline making career for the Class 0f,51.

Under Mary Fishcrkellcr wc served at Freshman Reception, marveling at the adeptness with which the freshmen juggled their punch and cookies and shook hands, all at one time. Thurs- day chapel services found us in academic gowns ushering students and faculty. Spring revealed us roaming the meadows in search of daisies for the traditional daisy chain. Sophomore Generals caught up with us after we Spent weeks develop- ing a nonehalant attitude, and we found that they werenlt as odious as pictured. We learned to knit and study 011 the Coucher busses, and found that our stadium boots are necessary for daily hikes between Mary Fisher and the Science Building. In our lighter moments we became acquainted with the Baltimore sights neglected during our Freshman year. Just ask us where the Peabody Bookshop is! We found our supply of midnight oil inex- haustible, our little grey cells at Robinson cozy, our appetites insatiable, our enjoyment of living unlimited. The first to take OH for a quick movie and the last to forget those ever present eight objectives, weVe managed to reach the halfway mark with hardly a scratch. The mysteries of upper division hold 110 terrors for us. We are Sophomores. The Cunninghams, Sophomore Class advisors.
