SOPHOIHORE CLIISS As Sophomores, we have lost much of the wide-eyed wonder that characterized us as Freshmen. Our external citervescence has disappeared, but our love for everything lmmaculatan deepens with each passing day. VVe have learned to value the personal independence of college 'life and to budget our time in such a way as to take advantage of the many opportunities ahtorded us for full-fledged development. We are eager to possess our share of the rich cultural treasure that our beloved lmmvaculata olifers, and to become really the woman of our dreams. Our first venture in responsibility centered around Freshman initiationg that was a prelude to the much greater responsibility of carrying through our very successful Sophomore Cotillion at the WVarwiclc, which re- sulted in our gift of a one-thousand-dollar Bond to the Building F und. 72

lUI'll0R CLRSS .-Pf f' AY ' ij- Although the Class of 1946 is outnumbered three to one by its Little Sisters, the Freshmen, size has not limited the scope of its activities. The versatility of its members has been impressively ex- pressed in musical talent, dramatic presentation, radio broadcast- ing, war bond drives, and on the Sports page, as well as in intel- lectual pursuits. The unpreceden,ted success of our Sophomore Cotillion was a fine example of the great achievements possible when the class functions as a unit. Once the goal has been sighted. each member is inclefatigable in the effort exerted to attain it. It is in such a spirit that we now plan our long-awaited JUNIOR VVEEK festivities, looking forward to the possession of our Class Rings and Blazers-outward indications of upperclassman pres- tige. 71

Nliith that introduction, let ns add that Freshman days are ex- citing, to say the least. liven the process of heing orientated through psychological examinations, placement tests, and what- not, could not dampen the spirits of the one hundred twenty-seven eager aspirants for the baccalaureate degree. lnvestiture, Charter Day Banquet, Carol Night and Christmas festivities gave us a taste of the bright side and made us more anxious than ever to ex- perience more of lmmaculata's delightful traditions.
