agoflgomoze Cling defiato'zy . . You can always tell a sophomore. But you cannot tell her much. SO runs the song that the Class of 1940 has borne uncom- plainingly this year. 'Tis not timidity that is the cause for our reticence but a slightly egotistical feeling that the song rings true; for are we not the largest sophomore class to register in our Alma Mater? And are we not the survivors of a freshman class who was the instigator of those inspired phrases such as Hquaffin around, Hsatchel, yeah stuff, and Woo-woo! Back up! ? Looking back down the long stretch of a year between the simple title of frosh and the exalted one of sophs, we note With justifiable pride that we are still holding our own in club memberships, sports, and positively shining when it comes to dates. Sometimes, since all of us are a little bit sentimental down in under over last year, we find time to ramble and reminisce about the days when we were the Rushees and daydreamed of the far-off time when we, in our glory, could be the Rushers. Ah, idle dreams! Now that our dreams have come true, we are inclined to admit that they were more of a BETSY EWRY President. MADELINE MAY Vice-President.

Just as our second year was fuller than the first, so it followed that the third was better than the second. We had charge of the llCollegian, college paper under the direction of Payne as its capable editor and Betty Grier, its fiery little business manager. We're proud too, to have Bessy on the Social Committee. We notice that all of the Juniors are not in the picture. Those missing are: Petie Schmidt, lanet Thomas, Maxine Weil, and Dorothy Zellers. Again in February we attended the Senior Prom and were more than taken by the glamor of it all. All through the year we sold practically everything that would appeal and bring profit, for we had to make good with the Junior Prom. Remember how we hoped it would be clear, and all the fun we had? Each year finds the members of our class adding other honors to their lists, just like the proverbial feather in the cap. This would include Zeta Phi, Thalia, and Alpha Psi Omega. Well, next year we will be Seniors and I know it is the hope of every one that it will be the most glorious year of our lives. First Row:-D. Comfort, M. Clark, D. Townley, E. Grier, D. Freed, C.

nightmare than those we experienced as we trembled in our beds and heard the footsteps of approaching doom. Dinty's ever popular Christmas Party was as exciting and hilarious as last year's except that we knew what was coming and could appreciate more the thrill of others seeing it for the first time. Then came the cap and gown ceremony, shocking us into wide awake knowledge that time does march on and in less than two years we will be feeling the first nostalgic pangs for how much the last four years have meant to us. Prom, and all its attending troubles and perplexities, joys and gaiety, and us, feeling at last a real part of things. Dreary winter turned into a typical Maryland Spring and things began to look up. Entertainment of the Senior Class was entertain- ment for us too, and the sight of the Freshman Garden Party left us with a pleasant feeling as this year we looked on while someone else did the acting. And so we turn to our lunior year, with our sails set and trimmed for those elusive and now expanded privileges, new and novel classes, and a general consciousness of bigger and better things to come.
