Sophomore Class Of course we Sophomores think ours the best class. I am sure you could find no more loyalty or co-operation in any class. When our class started out it was unusually large in number. A large percentage of its membership was made up of Grand Island boys and girls. This is especial- ly significant as it showed the increasing interest in Grand Island College. Our first president was Earl Hayter, and a very good one he was. We began the year well by defeating the Sophomores on class day. How could such a start help but make us successful. I believe it is safe to say that no Sophomore party has been a failure. Every Sophomore feels responsi- ble for every one's having a good time. As Freshmen we had numerous hikes and parties of every description. This year our class is somewhat smaller, as is so often the case. We began the year badly by letting the Freshmen class defeat us on class day, but we have remedied the start by our many successful activities. The Sophomores are well represented in both literary societies. By only a casual observation I should say that more were Amphictyons than Athenians but of course we didn't allow that to enter into our good fellowship. Earl Hayter, one of our members has been president of the Amphictyon society during the last year. In debate the Sophomores have been very capably represented by Ruth Bryan and Earl Hayter. This year we have had many enjoyable social times. The argument might be that too many activities detract from class work, but our parties have helped us to become better acquainted and to form better friendships. Our first party was a hike which took place after class day. About the middle of the first semester we were invited to a re- ception at the home of President Wells. A little later we were invited to the Tilley home north of the city. It was planned as a Wiener roast, but it turned out to be a very chilly evening, so it was a house party in spite of knickers and laments. Sometime during February there was a Fresh- man-Sophomore party held in the Liederkranz Annex. We presumed that it was a Valentine party. Everyone was most enthusiastic about the good time that they had. As everyone knows, the college built a new barn this year. Not so very long ago our class decided to initiate it with a little party. With the permission of the date committee we had a theatre party and afterwards a good time in the loft of the barn. We hope our class will go through the next two years of college with as much enthusiasm and good-will as they have so far shown. We have made mistakes, as well as other classes, but we have also accomplished many things. We are ready to serve our college and show our loyalty to it.
