I Z; 'iipi-uu't u, To every undergraduate there comes a day When he feels that he is one of that group than Which there is no which- er. Generally, this spring-feverish atti- tude prevails throughout his sophomore year. Taking everything into considera- tion, we find that this attitude may be partly accounted for by the fact that Tuesdays and Thursdays find every se- cond year man and woman in a par- uar'.

Add to this the relief of the escape from the stigma of freshman- hood, and the knowledge that they are not yet caught in the toils of upperclass dignity and world-weariness, and you Will agree that the sophomores are in- dubitably the happiest lot in school.

Hal Fuchs became the new treasurer. In this, their junior year, 42 really came through. Not only did members of the class shine on the football field, the basketball court, and the baseball dia- mond, but led by Mary Maneri, they were instrumental in bringing about the greatest junior prom in the history of the school. That attair was held at the Astor Hotel on March 14, and it is to the credit of the whole Class that it eclipsed the success of the junior prom the previous year. The Class came through again when they started the movement to present Bill King with a trophy at the close of the football season, and With another when he concluded his collegiate bas- ketball career at Madison Square Gar- den against Butler University. Another gift of the junior class hangs on the wall of the BC? home basketball court. On it is written: llLong Island University e- National Basketball Cham- pions . 1938-39. Presented by the class of 1942. But back to the athletic conquests, it was Hank Beenders again, now a junior, who was one of the two LlU men to be selected on the Madison Square Garden All-Metropolitan quintet, together with Ossie Shechtman. Beenders also set the individual scoring record for the season at the Garden when he hit the cords for 23 points against Canisius. h their service for their ent out and helped the Varsity Dance committee make this an- nual all-university affair, held this year at Manhattan Beach, the success it was.

As as presi his associates for the year, Kozonis was blessed with Marcia Bosniak, serving her second year as Vice-president of the class, Ann Cappie, a new secretary, and Honest Bob Spielberg, as treasurer. A versatile quartet indeed. So-the new sophomores went to work with a vengeance, prepared to leave their mark in the history of Long island University. HLet's break a precedent, quoth they, Hand Win the rush as sophs. Well, they left their marke-all over the University field, and the only thing they broke was their aspirations, as the trosh won the annual mass murder. MForget about it, quoth they, Hit can land doesl happen to any sophomore class. And to show that they forgave their tormenters, the second-year-men tendered a peace offering dance to the irosh, and did their utmost to establish unity among the classes. What was a pair of pants or a little bit of hauteur When there was fun to be had. And, anyway, we would've licked 'em if . . . That was only the beginning, folks, of a sophomore social season that saw the Class toss its collective head and spirit into work for the annual Varsity Dance, and culminated in the first Frosh-Soph prOm in the history of the Blue, at the Coconut Grove, May 28. Combined class meetings, under the joint leadership of presidents George Syby and Mike Ko- zonis, laid foundations for this show of initiative. Buddy Clark's band put the finishing touches on any sore spots caused by rush rivaer- - . M 9 Visiix'ffu- Jar..- u a 571-? 333' 53,-: ::hn::3 i. . . . u . . h a a u... L But this was only the social facet of a multi-sided sophomore class. Athletical- ly, it did more than its share. The foot- ball team was graced by the playing of Joe Zucconi, Johnny Gitsas, Lou Cap- pola, Vic Rosenblum, Rush Metling, Alex Fleishman, Dizzy Dean! Bill Byrnes, Tom Kretz, Randy Iohnson, and Irving Price. Long Island's national championship bas- ketball five also used material from the versatile sophs. First string Saul Cohen, and Frank Fucarino, Dick Holub, Artie Gurfein, Chico Perez, Bob Kane, and Dean all added to the glory of the uni- versity and to the prestige of the class. Dean, who toted number 13 on the grid- iron, is the university's only three major- letter-rnan. You'll find them everywhere, these sophs. At frat and sorority affairs, Student Council meetings, the Men's Lounge, on the Deans List, in the Dutchman's at LlU. And listen! that ain't hay. t'-.. 7W..-- 1- .. 'lh... 'e M-zr u--..;'1 -' it .
