at ix' ...J 'fu ., ' fu Q N ,., I . ls it possible that now at the end of two years our Sophomores have gained sufficient prestige to attain the title of upperclass- men? Survey the pastl ln retrospection we find: . . . here and there around the Social Room groups pondering over questions written on small cards while Miss Serl smiles knowingly as she thinks of her classes in Con- temporary Fiction . . . a Psychology book occasionally attracts the Sophies, anyhow at least once a week about eight-fifteen on armer's in the dell, the farmer's Saturday morning . . . 'lOh, the f in the dell, heigh ho the dairy oh, the farmer's in the dell holds a fascination for this class as it attempts the once simple, now difficult games in the methods of Physical Education course . . . the school garden never before has been so devoid of weeds, old papers, and stray sticks, could it be the result of the bi-weekly hoeings . . . after such inartistic dabblings in paint and colored chalk as are in evidence as we pass by the art room, it is beyond our comprehension that so many truly ingenious bits of work may be produced by the members of this renowned class . . . the principles of geography set forth by this original group would shock any principal who chanced ,upon the scene . . . government classes under the Doctor found themselves more often lamenting the problems of the government of the Social Room than those of the United States. ln predicting the future we find the class of l94U showing great ability to lead on to finer attainments. You proved yourselves quite competent in your choice of officers: Mary Virginia Stoltz is a very charming president, Rose Evelyn Kurs with her originality is just the person for vice-president, Georgia Sawyer will prove a winner even though there are no minutes for her to keep, and because you must be ajuieted so very often there is no one more capable than Christine Williams. CBut what happened to your boys, did you drop them on that last hayride you had?D l 22 l

'Tis almost over, there remains but forty weeks Cone year to youl. Then you too will be presented the sheepskin tied with purple and gold. Ah, but that is the tomorrow, what of the yesterday and its many contributions? After all there can be I 0 RS no tomorrow in your college memoirs if the remain- ing half dozen of you Iuniors become endowed with solitaires for the third finger of the left hand. You have at last embarked upon the truly professional side of your .college career. Little did it matter how hard you tried to conceal such volumes as The Little Engine That Could and Angus and the Ducks 5 people only smiled as if to say, The young lady does look so intelligent but one never knows-l The change that has come over the world during the past year is remarkable. Few authorities would recognize the old map since your revision made in the World Geography course. Methodsl Methodsl Methodsl You know the methods but do you use them? After all these years it is nice to know how you have been tested and measured throughout your school life. Lessons aren't sufficient, term papers are inadequate, today unit plans are the voguel And practice teaching-how some of you survive is indeed a miracle. 'Fess up, what is your honest opinion of the profession by this time? Are you keeping that little book of Incidents and Accidents in the Life of a Student Tea.cher ? As for eXtra-curricu- lar activities, it is obvious to all that the Iuniors have shown incredible ability to lead in any field, but then you will be seniors next year and will fade from view for ten long weeks. You do not have to take a course in speech to deliberate at length on Kay Tupper, your charming president, who left to become a Christmas present for a young man in New York, George Birkenhauer who knows lots and lots even if he is your vice-president, Brunner, the true Ioy, and secretary of the class, and Dorothea Meyn, capable, efficient and dependable in everything as well as the office' of treasurer. f21l
