26 SOPHOMORES Strife in the Outside World and Proddings from the Professors Produce Ambition By ROBERT PARSON While Italians trampled Ethiopians, while America was deluged by floods and politics, while the Japs and famine moved into China, Russia and Japs into Mongolia and the English sorrowfully and joyfully reiterated “The King is dead, long live the King,’’ while the whole world reeked with the stench of policy and piffle; Sophomores, wise men according to the Greek, looked out upon that world, diagnosed its troubles in plagiarized words, thoughts, and phrases of books, profs, politicians, poets, and philos¬ ophers; wrote reams of causes and cures of where-from’s and where-to’s, went to church on Sundays and week days, attended classes or cut them according to their mood and that of their instructor, broke and abided by rule and misrule of underclass majority and up- perclass seniority, dated, lectured and lis¬ tened, worked some, ate some, and slept some. Meanwhile President (Art in everyday life) McAuley avoided incumbering the Sophomores’ crowded time and meager means with parties, politics, and meetings; minded his book exchange and books, and joyfully allowed them to forget their officers, to lose their feeble identity as a group—an identity whose only foundation lay in the Dean’s office statistics. Treasurer Anderson kept his debits vs. credits balanced to a scoreless tie throughout the year, and Ysobel Scott whipped a cast of threatening mediocrity into the acme of some¬ thing or other to share first honors with the freshmen in the Theta Alpha Phi play con¬ test. Dwight Newell led the field in the annual cross country race to the joy of his sopho¬ more friends and the honor of his Parchie brothers. Leo Phillips graced two student publications with his time and talent without benefit of reward. Harold Hohwieler grasped the reins of a tottering Y. M. C. A. and pro¬ ceeded to guide it on the road of strenuous activity. Anna Louise Loevenguth by virtue of her ability enthroned herself in the Narva office, shooed editor, business manager, secre¬ taries, and salesmen out of the cramped quar¬ ters and ruled the roost. Marvin White headed the first semester honor role and made it difficult for struggling feature writers who had the audacity to use the name of White in vain. Jack Sproull garnered honors in the field of education be¬ yond the hills of Parkville, and the Mills brothers, Stone, Decker, Hill, Howes and Timmons sang, played, tooted, and talked over station W9XBY. Marian Wightman condescended to flash her electric smile often, while Frank McDowell and Cecil (bring ’em back alive) Eberle starred as official and un¬ official masters of ceremonies on various occasions. Consider all this and add to it the grinning and the scowling faces that peer at you from the black panels on the ensuing pages, and you have considered the sophomores who. born in a world of chaos and having ridden the crest of that world of chaos, have gone round and round, round and round, and come out here.
