The ITlirror PICTURE OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS I hesitated when I was asked to prepare the Picture of the Sophomore Class for your inspection. I was not an artist and everybody knew it. Any of my teachers could tell you that I was never especially proficient in draw- ing anything except attention and could never paint anything successfully — not even ray own face. Besides, the Sophomore Class is a very lively sub ject for even an expert to attempt to sketch. None of them is ever twice alike or apt to he found twice in the same place or position. Even a snap- shot could never catch them in anything except a blur. But as it seems my fate to be expected to hold the mirror up before my classmates 1 can only paint them in such words as appear to me to express them as I see them. 1 his then, dear friends, is the Sophotnor class as I see it today. (I am sure you will pardon the exact measurements as 1 would make a better architect than I would an artist.) 1 he Sophomore class is made up of twenty members, thirteen girls and seven boys; we range in age from fifteen to eighteen. We range in height from Evelyn Mae Cole’s five feet, one inch, high heels and all, to 1 Herman He Lau s six foot, with or without his silk socks. e range in weight from era Schnabel’s one hundred and two pounds to Roy Wallin’s one hundred and forty-eight. Taken altogether as the one in body that we are supposed to be in spirit, we make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he is ever going to begin to learn, for he would be 310 years old. surely an age of wis- dom and power and dignity. Our height is 112 feet and 10 inches, which certainly raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above our enemies and look down on the lower classmen. You can see, too, what a heavy proposition we are, by the fact that taken together we tip the scales at exactly 2,294 pounds. Our hand is surely large enough to get a good firm grasp upon the affairs of the world, as well as upon our own individual concerns, for we wear a 143J4 glove. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowl- edge we have been cramming into it for the past ten years, fof we require a hat whose number is 135%. Page thirty
