Sophomores of 1930 OFFICERS: Aubrey Burress (Pres.). Elmer Wilbanks (Secy.-Treas.) MOTTO: “Not to the top, but climbing.” COLORS: Red and White FLOWER: American Beauty Rose HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS In September of 1919, a half afraid yet peppy group of young- sters went up to the airport, or Grade School, to take their first long aeroplane ride. They all climbed into the plane of knowledge, and worked hard to keep it up in the air. Of course, there were trials and hardships to be overcome, and a few of the passengers failed to pass over these, and had to be left behind, but most of them worked on and kept the plane going. This ‘‘ride” lasted about eight years, with short stops for refueling during the summer months of each year. Then the plane was forced to land, with only thirty-six passengers remain- ing. There followed a short period of three months in which to pre- pare for another trip in the plane of knowledge, a shorter trip this time, but reaching to higher altitudes, and more dangerous. The plane did not have such good luck this tune, being almost forced to land on the first lap of the journey, when it met with the hurricane of Algebra, the tornado of General Science, and the blizzard of Eng- lish all at the same time. Some of the passengers did fall out, but the plane soon righted itself and continued on the journey. At this time we find the plane still sailing on, with about the same number of passengers. A few of them are having trouble fight- ing the headwind of Latin, a danger that has been overcome by most of the rest. Of course we are expecting most of the passengers to come out in perfect condition. The plane is now passing over the cloud known as ‘‘Sophomore,” and is doing fine. It will soon be ready to sail over the Junior and Senior clouds, then the journey will be ended, and we will all have our Pilot s License, and be ready to begin the biggest and longest flight of all. We sincerely hope that the difficulty will be few, with a total absence of crack-ups and forced landings.
