THE FRESHMEN These are the Freshmen--yes, those newcomers that entered the Teachers College whirl in September. They did not long remain new- comers, for they were soon talking to those sophisticated upper classmen. Nor did they long remain strangers from each other, for they joined together to help make the Fall Fiesta a grand success. The Freshies joined the social swing with parties which were grand successes. lust ask any of them if they had fun at lane Sincox's or at Iessie Richards' or at Albert Woods' or at Kay Young's, and you will receive only one answer: We never had so much fun at a party before. The Freshman l's will tell you that the highlight of their social career was the party given by that genial host, Mr. Bond. The Freshman ll's claim that their Christmas party in the social room was an A number l success with nearly all present, and exchanging presents. Oh, we must not forget that party at C. A. Brown's-for no social whirl for 1940 would be complete without a Leap Year party. I understand there were some proposals, but T. C. will not lose any budding genius to Dan Cupid-at least not just now. Though they still did not know each other very well when they elected their officers, they could not have chosen better leaders for their initial year. To Leland Bonar, as President, we offer our heartiest congratulations for his excellent leadership. The credit for interesting and unusual parties goes to Bobbie McNeal. No one could have kept those records as well as your Secretary, Iames Hutton: nor could any Treasurer be more accurate -or attractive-than the efficient Lois Biggerstaff.

THE SOPll0M0ltES Are these those scared, green Preshies who entered our halls a year ago and who now have finished two years of higher education? ft can't be-but it must be, for I see some very familiar faces. They are so viva- cious and full of pep that we upper classmen find it hard to keep our eyes on them. lust think-they will soon acquire the dignity of being called- upper classmen. Let's hope that with this new- dignity they will not lose their ability to have a good time. The Sophies' parties reflect the originality of the members of the class. A Taffy Pull started them on their social activities: there was taffy all over the Bohner's kitchen, but everyone had such a good time that it was fun cleaning up the mess. The Ghosts were out in full swing at Helen 'Rouse's on Hallowe'en Eve. But the party at which the most fun was had--especially by the girls-was that Leap Year party at Darby's. Yes-I believe the girls even went after their dates and the boys admit that it was a new and fascinating arrangement. The Bunco Party at Virginia Richardson's house was tops in Bunco Parties. But these are just a few of the parties held by this energetic class. They had many Pot Lucks, and any holiday that came along was duly cele- brated. Ah--we know the secret of all your fun and success-your wise selection of officers. Betty Lou Richards is an. ideal President. That dif- ferent quality found in your parties is due to your Vice-President, Mary Ann Berry. We know that the class records have been kept well, for Louise Lawson makes a perfect secretary. And last, but not' least, Laverne Ashby, as your treasurer, has added to the success of your class by keeping the money matters straight.
