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.

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.

With nervous apprehension we arrived with tightly crammed trunks and suitcasesethe class of 1941 was here. By night time we were fairly acquainted with our class. In fact there seemed to be a concentrated attack to acquaint us with everyone through our Hbig sisters, the old girlenew girl dance, and tiRush which settled the problem of meeting the upper classmen quite thoroughly. It was too soon upon us and seemed interminable as we sadly went around pulling up shapeless white cotton stockings. Virginia Jones piloted us through this stormy time as class president, while Bernice Parks acted as vice-president, and Phyllis Foss as secretary-treasurer. . The Freshmen were enthusiastic supporters of the hockey team, the basketball team, and the bowling team, partici- pating as only Freshmen can with true zest caused by no fear of losing their dignity. But dignity was a different matter when it came to the social life which was a great part of our idea of what college should hold for Freshmen, as we stepped out haughtily in our bib and tucker at the first formal, the Barn Dance, and the alumnae dance at the Hotel Commodore. It wasn't long before a nice, new array of fraternity pins ap- ROSITA MARTINEZ President. BERNICE PARKS - Vice-President. PHYLLIS FOSS Secretary-Treasurer. forty-eight
