CLASS Qt 'CMH AND WMO 1 i t RAY MURPHY FRESHMAN CLASS PRESIDENT . . . The Sophomore is the magnificent man of the campus-He's had a Whole year at college! His big accomplish- ment is bullying the Freshman, pitying him for his ignorance. ln fact this might be what is called the Childrens Hour of college. Not all, however, is self- aclmiration, as from the Sophomore class come the service organizations, Fangs and Spurs. . . . Our collegiate play is divided into four acts, each to be approached from a different level-so the actors think: The Freshman is naive, and young enough to be afraid to admit his youth: he expects a thrill but hates to confess when he finds one. He--and she-ea- gerly turns out for the annual fall clean- ing of the M, and he overruns the Sophornores, usually, in the fall games which determine how long green caps must be Worn. This is the busiest, and by far the happiest, of the four acts, for there is all the joy of participation without the worry of responsibility. E uwllll' WH. JOHN MCCARTHY SOPHOMORE CLASS PRESIDENT

CLASS Ot l939 AND l938 . . . The lunior is the lost man of the play. He is in the in-between stage where he doesn't quite know what to do with himself. He's too smart now to feel he knows everything, but he doesn't know how to find out what he doesn't know. He is bewildered by the seeming superiority of the Senior, tolerantly help- ful toward the Freshman and Sopho- more. Along about spring he decides maybe he could do, something after all and sponsors the lunior Prom in honor of his Senior brethren. AL SCHENCK SENIOR CLASS Pnssrnenw SAM SHOEMAKER JUNIOR CLASS PRESIDENT . . . The Senior is just a tired old man, Worn with the weight of responsibility incident to running the extra-curricular college and going to school at the same time. From this group are usually chosen the responsible heads for the activities. He enjoys a feeling of ac- complishment, but at the same time one of questioning doubt-what's to become of him, now that it's all over? In back of him are days of fun and work: ahead . . . ?
