Threshold Crossers Again, Are We Another chapter is added to the history of the Independence Junior College as the sophomore class of 1940 stands to testify, for, or against the maxim: 'K .... not that you won or lost, but how you played the game. This class can give a testimony as lasting and genuine as a thumbprintvon the pages of Time in answer to the question How have you played the game? On the various athletic teams, we had members who always gave sportsman-like participation whether they won or lost. This class contributed nearly one-half of the main squad which afforded many interesting foot- ball games throughout the season. The splen- did basketball squad and the track team were well supported by sophomores, who with outstanding skill did much to bring honor in these athletic events. Scholastic honors were not overlooked by our class members many of whom habit- ually won places on the honor roll. Of the twenty-six members of the Phi Theta Kappa, seventeen were sophomores. The various de- partments have helped to make the various complete. The Dramatics club presented the play of the year while the forensic squad was made up almost entirely from our class. During our junior college career we have helped to support the music organizations, the Pep club, and all the other school act- ivities. Altogether this sophomore class of 1940 leaves this institution with the knowledge that it has played the game well. Someone has said that character is higher than in- tellect, but here we have been striving for a blending of the two. Here we have learned to realize the worth of Carl Schurz's words when he saysg Ideals are like the stars.. . We never reach them but like the mariners on the sea, we chart our course by them.
