The south wall quietly whispered not to be too alarmed, as the year cer- tainly would not be a case Of all work and no play. It pictured to us Our various Sophomore activities. reminding us of the Turkey Dinner and the victorious Stamp and Tinfoil Drivel Presently the side walls joined in with the ceiling, viewing our various social activities and prophesying that we would enjoy life to the fullest. They cited the Iunior-Sophomore Dance and the C. S. 31. C. Dance as examples. The amazing wonder of it all is that these walls have proved themselves golden-voiced orators. Everything they prophesied came true. Now, in the face of the facts. the walls and ceiling unite in foretelling future Senior events The Class of '41 will have an abundance Of luck and prosperity in the years to come.

Here are some of the highlights of the game: In the first quarter, the opponent made a spectacular pass-caused Sopho- more C to Change classrooms several timeS-and it looked as though he would gain ground. Sophomore C offered some interference, however. They pIaced a very clever b1ock, resigned themselves to the Change, and. as a result, scored six points. In the second and third quarters, they gained many yards, due to their splendid returns on the Skating Party, and the C. S. 31. C. Dance Tickets. Now for the fourth quarter: 1n the very Last minute to play, every member of the team united to complete a forward pass.
