day for science majors. Potato chips, pickles, grasshoppers, antsethatk what all picnics are made of. 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.

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.

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.

Wetre Juniors And Wetve Lots Of Stylett we who ElfC 111111.013 remember many CXe perienees and incidents reminiscent of our Erst three years at college. VVeKre outgrown our freshman shyness, the boisterous sophomore stage and Enally have settled down to the uPm a stu- dent junior phase. W elve Changed quite a lot since Freshman W eek 1945, VVe7ve made new friends, come in contact with a world of books and we think we have gained savoir faite and a cosmopolitan outlook. We attend I.R.C. meet- ings and discuss the impending elections; we read T. S. Eliot and Plato and know the merits of the Marshall Plan. With all this intelligent activity we never ignore the possibilities for fun and we look back on these three years and our participation in class and school activities with the knowledge that it has been ilreal. Freshman year with Esther Murray as Presi- dent of our Class is now just a memory ocea- Sionally brought to mind as we watch our sister Class pass through the trials we knew. Sopho- more Cenerals are no longer a bogus and we look back triumphantly 011 the past year which saw us capture the honors at Sing-Song with our hit song, Up and Atom Sophomores. Nancy Bot- tomley was our president and we were gay young sophomores who doubted that there was much left for us to learn. Our Junior year found us outEtting ourselves with the dignity and the earnestness becoming the upper division. Our acquisition of the Class of ,51 as little Sisters convinced us that two years were behind us. With our majors came the headaches and backaches we heard joked about so often. We became well acquainted with the library and four days a week found us slaving away over reserve books. We hope that compre- hensives will prove our efforts worthy. How- ever, we pass 011 the knowledge that there is no find upper division not too formidable. Left: Pat Caffee and Barbara Daily, relaxing in their room, Below: N. Goldman, VieeiPresident; A.
