Sophomore Class History T is no small task to relate even the more important facts concerning the present Soi)lioniore Class. In attaining our present high standing as a college class we have struggled continuously in the many lines of college activities. We first saw this small jjortion of the stage of world activities on September 2nd. 1920. After being properly examined, we took our places in our respective departments and entered profound work. It is needless to relate that every man goes to college with a grim determination to make good, with ideals looming to the stars to back this determination up. However, many of these ideals lived only to be thwarted as we began to learn how small we were as compared with our superiors. Our number was very large the first year, being by far the largest class in college. Everyone was a worthwhile student and did those things he thought most beneficial to himself and his classmates. When our Freshman year ended three pleasant months brought us again to our work. During this time we suffered the loss of a few very capable students, but these spaces were partly filled by new material that have shown the brightest of prospects. In the field of athletics we have been able to even lead all the other classes combined. This year our class furnished about one-half of the varsity football team. Many more from the Sophomore Class made an excellent record. We also claim several varsity baseball players, to say nothing of the basketball team, which is practically all from our class. In fact, we have been well represented in all college athletics, and this is only one outcome of the Sophomore spirit. Let us say a word concerning the academic work of our class. Many of the best students in college are among those on our roll, and they seem able to hold their own in spite of the fact that many very able students continue to come to this institution. Oratorical ability is plentiful, and we claim even more than our share. Four of the medals offered by the college to the best student in the difl ' erent dejiart- ments were taken by the Soiihomore Class. As our Soi)homore year reaches its zenith and our .Junior year approaches, we begin to feel the necessity of additional dignity in our college associations. And as we learn the characteristics ))eculiar to each of our respective members our bonds of friendship grow closer. When we look at the many things already accomplished and hear the ringing of kind words in our ears from members of the faculty, let it not be a moment to halt but an inspiration to plod onward and accomplish even more and greater things in the future. Let our one wish be that the valued and respected friendships founded here may continue and go with us through life. E. T. Morris, Historian.
