BuT whaT was ThaT discordanT noTe? Who was iT ThaT dared To disTurb The smooThness ThaT so TypiTied The even Tenor oT exisTence oT The class oT '322 lT was The Sophomore! BuT why should we complain?

Our green caps and greener Ties were emblemaTic oT TuTure iniTiaTion inTo a greaT socieTy, The lVlanhaTTan College Alumni. l3urThermore, The Sophomore had unwarily given a weapon. ln numbers There is sTrengTh, and one green cap in Trouble called oTher green caps To his aid To Turn inglorious deTeaT inTo vicTory. We were made To Trudge our weary way in The guTTer. We were noT allowed To use The EasT Arch. We were Torced To carry a liTTle green book oT rules called The Koran.

And hnow imporTanT we TelT. Sophomoresl Our TirsT Tew days were .spenT rn recounTrng advenTures oT The summer recess and Then There were The Treshres.To be dealT wrTh. Well did we remember whaT we had gone Through and well drd we gloaT over whaT we were going To puT Them Through. Mercy? Did we look Tor any? NO. OUFS was The duTy To make oT The class oT '33 loyal sons oT ManhaTTan The same as our- selves: To Teach Them To love Their Alma lvlaTer as we had learned To love her and To insrill in Them The spiriT oT Tun and Tair play. The summer had seen a silenT change in Alma lVlaTer, a.change Tor The beTTer. ChrysosTom l-lall had been added To her group oT Colonial buildings and The resrdenT sTudenTs oT our class were The TirsT To enjoy iTs spacious rooms and regal comTorT. Things were soon well under way and our vigilance commiTTee ouTdrd rTselT. The Tug-o'-war saw us Through To vicTory as did The TooTball and baskeTball games. This year saw several members oT our class in The uniTorms oT varsrTy warriors, Turning in crediTable perTormances. lvlanhaTTan was making rapid sTrides, due To The sprrrT oT The class oT '32. 1 BeTore our year had gone iTs Tull lengTh a sTranger came inTo our midsT. We neiTher saw nor heard him because he came so quieTly. l-le had a message Trom his lvlasTer, a message which Tell on ears happy aT iTs recepTion. The sTranger delivered The message To BroTher Jerome and TogeTher They deparTed. You have leTT us, BroTher Jerome, and gone where The love you had Tor us here on earTh has increased a hundredfold. The weeks sped rapidly onward. Scarcely had The apaThy oT early spring leTT us when classes seemed magically To have been disconTinued and once again came The exodus To The Tour poinTs oT The compass. ek Pk Pk Pk Ik Pk Our reTurn in The Junior year was a sad one. We learned wiTh deep regreT oT The deaTh oT George Kopp oT our class during The summer vacaTion. To us This was a greaT personal blow. BuT on The enTire sTudenT body, and on The enTire scienTiTic world Tell The greaTesT blow in The deaTh oT BroTher Azarias Michael, Dean oT The School oT Engineering. The loss oT BroTher Azarias was a greaT one, buT one ThaT could be accepTed wiTh relaTive resignaTion. l-le was a man advanced in years, who had given his all To his God in The cause oT ChrisTian EducaTion, and had now been summoned by his l-leavenly FaTher To possess The Kingdom prepared Tor him. BuT liTTle did iT occur To us when we sTarTed ouT, ThaT one oT our own classmaTes would be snaTched Trom among us. BeTore our Junior year, anoTher oT our number, Thopmas Ilfennedy, closed his eyes in eTernal resT. l:iaT VolunTas Tua eT RequiescanT rn ace. Now we were upper classmen. No longer would The peTTy grievance, The Tradi- Tional rivalry beTween Freshmen and Sophomores boTher us. We TelT above all ThaT sorT oT Thing. We had graduaTion Tairly wiThin our grasp and iT became our loT To devoTe more Time Than ever To our sTudies. l-lowever, This did noT mean ThaT exTra- curricular acTiviTies were To be ThrusT aside enTirely. The more rugged oT us could be seen on The Green and WhiTe Teams, giving our all To enable Alma lvlaTer To Tind her place in The sun. ln The world oT TooTlighTs and grease-painT could be Tound The same men who had reincarnaTed dramaTics aT lvlanhaTTan, as well as oThers oT our number. The Torensic arT saw The brunT oT work being shouldered by The men oT '32, STudy we would, buT once again came The ThoughT ThaT had enTered our minds during our TirsT year as sTudenTs: l:irsT Tor Alma lvlaTer, Then Tor Class. , ,, W- .. --,-.-c- ...
