Sophomore Solzloozzy Soliloquizerz the Sophomore Se1f. This year I have been a Second Academic. I have thought as a second, talked as a secondg in --in-1 all things have I consistently been a second. I have acted like a Second Prep., and occasionally even like a Second Prime. Often I wonder if I shall ever be a Second-in College! And if so, shall I ultimately attain my second childhood? During the year I have been joined by eleven new girls. fOne and one make two.j In basket-ball my team has been second, never third, it is true, while on several memorable occasions it has been first, but then, again, one and one make two. fThey have always told me it was not polite or respect- ful to ever win from upper classes, but-J For many known, and unknowln reasons 2'l 2 girls have left me. I I have chosen a second class tie, of two colors. Of the office of Secretary- Treasurer I have made two separate ones. Once Miss Blake left school, and remained away entirely too long. It wars too bad too , because she was too ill. I won the Picture Contest, and received two compensations, any picture on the list and my own choice of one. The Laughing Cavalier looks well on the wall in the hall. Speaking of contests-I had two Marys and tw'o K's on the Music Memory Contest Team. For the Bazaar I assisted in two enterprises, including the annoying Check Room, and I lent a few touches to the dense atmosphere, of anticipated holidays, with the annual Christmas play. During the month of February I was present at two class parties. At Isabelle Woodford's I could have played either bridge or Mah jongg. I was not permitted to entertain myself, at the delightful soiree of Dorothy Broz, however, as I was provided with the cinema version of The Count of Monte C1'iQS1:0. The Sophomore number of the Review was the second in the series of class numbers, and for it the second picture of nineteen twenty five was taken. For the second term at the end of the second period I took a shower with my fellow shiverers, and dressed in two second-s, more or less. In May Day I had two dances, which I executed with almost too much grace. I did very well in two events Field Day, and, upon consideration, perhaps two others did not come out so badly for me. Commencement has not commenced to be sad for me, yet, however. When I was a Sophomore I thought as a Sophomore, spoke as a Sophomore, under- 29

grow clean and healthy! You get such a reaction that you're hotter after than before! S Yes, yes, go on. You would forever with just a little encouragement now and then, but you won't get it from me. i Is that the way an H. B. S. girl should talk? Why, we haven't men- tioned our memorable trip to see 'Hamlet' in our thrill calendar. Will you ever forget it? Sooner than I will the morning after when Miss Raymond asked us. how to behave in a theatre. V ' You and me too. We didn't get all we deserved at that. Well it's over now, and we are wiser. ' We've forgotten to mention Field day! . Better keep it a dark secret, I think, and please don't bring up the sub- ject of basket-ball. -f Don't worry. It see-ms to me that we did beat the Freshmen, though twice, and the Seniors once when they hadabout three off their team. Yes, we did, but that's about all. ' ' I i ' Well, we're going to win next year. ' I There's a catch in this. I suppose'you're going to be on the team. You guessed it. Not really? Yep. A line-keeper. Don't laugh, I know it's humble position, but many great men 'started as oflice boys. They were born to be great, my dear. I Certainly, certainly, but don't you think we 'ought to get in line for Com- mencement?
