LONG LIFE totheclass of ’25 bearer of torment and anguish into the lives of countless teachers. Anyone in the Sophomore class looking into the school world with its higher and lower classes and classmen is well able to appreciate theworkof theclass which is doing so much to make attentiveness, reasonableness, tolerance and a good respect for the teachers. The results of the class’efforts are not to be reckoned in cold statistics but rather for the good imparted to the lower classmen. The Sophomores make a splendid use of their time, especially of their stolen minutes. The lower classes cast envious glances at us as well as glances of respect. The class has always taken partin the school affairs both in the social life and in athletics.

 The ALPHA iq 3 Lo Sophomores The sun sinks low, the lingering shadows fall, As through a fog I hear the chem prof’s steady drawl. My thoughts are drawn to halls beyond And first I see the greatest- one of four- “The wonder class”-the Lordly Sophomores. They study hard - by this they gain much fame; They honors win, this class of brawn and brain; They shine for sure in basketball and track, Quite true, there’s very little that the soph’mores lack. They’re proud of Bud, and Harold, too Who starred in basketball, ’tis true They showed their ginger, stuff and pep, We know they’ll reach the tip-top yet. Examinations hold no fear for them “Exceptional” the teachers all exclaim. They, you know, of the four were best In the thing they call the “intelligence test.” In the spring they shouted “give her the gas,” These members of the able class, And headforemost they dove Into dramatics - those they love. Young budding movie stars they proved to be, Georges two, and Bruce and Mae, Ida, Belva-and Cecilia, too- Axel, Marcus-quite a cast, you see. Where e’re they strive in future realms In spite of storms they’ll seize the helm The teachers get no chance to rant about their failing work For, as you know, the Soph’mores never shirk. The chem prof’s drawl increases to a roar Issuing words of fire, more and more I feel a raging tug-tug at my hair, “Wake up - you lazy boy - yes - you there!” Page Twenty-Five
