Now, we are rash and impulsive by nature, but have been exceedingly wary about definitions ever since the ill-starred occasion ,when we unfortunately blurted out that a hamlet was a small ham, so asuming a. grave and meditative expression, we told him that we would think it over and report on the following day. Accordinfflv th-it eveninv' after collecting Noah Webster's Dietionarv the an . f ' sv r- V 1 Hieyclopedia. Bright-Ann-l-Can, and other periodicals of a like nature, we flung our weary carcass down. upon the cushions of an over-stuffed what-clo-you-call-it, and prepared to concentrate. As we delicately nibblcd at a inorsel of iishfood with one hand, and agitated our cerebral regions with the other, negligently pursuing from time to time an errant Ueootiet' lost in the dense tropical foliage covering our top- pieee,-We linally evolved the following: A Sophomore is a biped of the genus High School Student, in xvhorse nature are combined the most characteristic traits of thefthree other speciesmof this-gmius: namely t-he indubitalsle insoueianee of the Fresliinen, the illimitable crust of the Junior, and the celestial conceit of the Senior. Whereupon, looking at the family time-piece and perceiving that it was eight- thirty, according to our time-honored oustuni, we hit the hay. N ...Ql-

He has good points as well as his had points. His main good point is that he Wfllljt always be a freshmaii. His 111ai11 bad point is that he is a freshman. Freshmen can he divided into two classes: tl1e first elass that knows 1l0iZl1ll'lg, and the second class that knows it all. The last class is the worse because 1116111- bers of it aet as if they were sophoiuores, an uiipardonahle crime. They strut around, and put on airs, and give tl1e 11pper elass111e11 a. pain, be- cause when the upper i'l21SS1HCl1 were froshies. they k11ew that ill time they would not be bossed, but bosses. When they find the freshies XVOIl,t1 he lmossed, but act like sophs they lose tl1e pleasure they looked forward to. XVl1611 the preseint sophs were fl'GSllll1Cll, tll6y had to liek the sophs hefore they ceased to be oppressed. But now, though the freshies l1ave licked 110 0110, they act as if they had lieked all three of tl1e upper classes. But though fresl1111e11 are lllllS?l1lCCS and ClOl'1,t eve11 know the 1'igl1t stairway to go down, Werrshould tolerate them, l7Cl'2i1'lSl?tlHf:fJ6'li-JEll6rO'UlY thing we ea11 do. Wk should also re111e111ber tl1at we were freshies once, and hope the present freshies will grow up and become sophs. But worst of all, we will probably he fl'GSl11T1C1l again ourselves so with that ill mind, we should not he too severe with the verdant freshmeii, eve11 if they are both- ersome. -291
