PaggTl1i1-fjv jresbmen w l l l The Freshmen class is again the largest in the school. It also num- bers among the largest ever enrolled. Its numbers alone do not altogether account for its greatness, for they have a devotion for Old Wesleyan that is unexcelled by any other class. Many of its class are prominent because they occupy various places of honor. One is a member of the leading debate teamsg one has excelled all others in holding the top of the monthly honor rollg another has been chosen second in the oratorical contestg pvvhile still others have made places on the base ball team. If the Freshmen of next year exceed the number of this year, Wesleyan will have a fine enrollment.

T hx 6 P If C R Z P 6 T Pgfe Tmgyzfj'-lving Qnpbumorw We are the class known as the Sophomores , a word whose literal meaning seems to be wise fools and we accept it as a very appropriate one for us, for we know that we are ignorant, and in that we are wise. While we are frank to confess our lack of knowledge, we are by no means averse to acquiring it, indeed we are liungering and thirsting for it, and we are getting it too. Witness the major proportion of names of Sophomores that have appeared on the Roll of Honor this year. We are a class that does things, not only in the matter of scholar- ship, but in every line of school activity. In athletics we easily won a series of basket ball games over the Freshmen, despite the fact that they had twice as many men to choose their players from as had we. And our class is composed of individuals who do things. When a student is wanted to fill a difficult place in Athletics, Literary or Christian Association work, to furnish music, or oratory, or to preside at a public function, the powers that be, always turn to a Sophomore. Ours is the important responsibility and the high privilege, as we go through school, of pushing the giddy College Class, the inanimate Seniors, and the bumptious Juniors, ahead of us, and of pulling the ver- dent Freshmen in our wake, while we must also have a care to train up the dear little Sub Preppies in the way they should go, that when they become Sophomores they will not depart therefrom. Loyalty is our watchword. Loyalty to our class, to Wesleyan , and to the eternal principals of God's truth, and thereby we strive to accomplish the huge task that is ours.
