SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Goodell, president: Thomas, vice-president: Beal, treasurer, Gause, secretary. Sophomore Class History On the morning of September 5, 1933, after the usual amount of blunder- ing and asking of questions, the largest group of freshmen in the history of Independence junior college were enrolled. Except for the fact that an unusually large percentage of the students were from out of town, it appeared to be just another frosh ' class. However, as the school work settled down to its definite routine, a close observer could have noticed a pleasing decrease in the number of unintelligible questions and an unexpected number of sagacious responses from these supposedly green frosh.

In the beginning of the 1934-35 school year the following class officers were ch-osen to lead this indomitable class: Elson Goodell, president, Ralph Thomas, vice-president, Pauline Gause, secretaryg and Grace Roberta Beal, treasurer. As already hinted, the sophomores of this year have been outstanding scholastically. The honor roll always includes many of their names and the various student organizations, such as Pep Club, Zeta, Sock and Buskin, Engineering Club, Y. M. C. A., Phi Theta Kappa, and Phi Rho Pi have had many sophomore members. In athletics the class has been especially outstand- ing. Several state records in track events are held by members of this class, While the other athletic teams were also composed largely of sophomores. This class breaks all records in the number of candidates eligible for graduation--sixty-five students having reached that much longed for position.
