SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The past is gone, never to be recalled, but it is only through the annals o( that past that we are enabled to understand the present. The fall of 1937 saw some sixty-eight freshmen entering the portals ol Pfeiffer Junior College. Most phases of college life were ol course new to us. but we learned rapidly. In our first class meeting John Lilly was selected as our leader for the year, while Diana Biondi. Carmen Vernon, and Charles Penninger were selected as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Miss Edgerton and Miss Rylander were the class sponsors. Shortly after election of officers, there came the inevitable initiation week, that bane of all freshmen. Rouge and lipstick were noticeably absent lrom the faces of the girls, while present in conspicuous spots on the boys’ faces. Books were carried to school in laundry bags, mismated shoes were worn, freshmen walked backward to classes, while sophomore books were carried and shoes shined upon request. A picnic at Bolton Springs completed the week and we smilingly decided that maybe the sophomores were pretty good fellows alter all. At any rate, there would always be next year! Such routine matters disposed of. the class as a whole settled down to work, with the result that when the honor roll was posted at the end of the semester, a fair percentage of freshman names was to be found there. Many changes occurred at Pfeiffer during the year. Our class was the first to use the new library and class-rooms in Jane Freeman Hall. Also, we were the first to use the two partially completed athletic fields. The year ended as all years have, and in September the class, now sopho- mores. returned to school. From our slightly depleted ranks we chose Frank Plyler as president; Preston Matthews, vice-president; Jesse Thomas, secretary; and Lucile Owen, treasurer. For sponsors to guide us through this all-important year. Mr. Conboy and Miss Masters were selected. Under such able leadership, the class progressed. Many meetings were held and in all ot these the spirit of co-operation was evident. Frank Plyler. the president, was selected as the person most capable of writing the class prophecy. Charles Penninger was chosen as testator; Ray Crook, historian; and Leola Bame. giftorian. Pearl Bost and Jack Blalock were co-authors ot the class song. The sweet pea was selected as the class flower, while blue and gold were deemed the most suitable class colors. The motto I rue nobility lies in becoming superior to your previous self was thought to express the spirit and aim of the class. During the year there were many memorable events. Having had. as fresh- men. some small part in the publishing of the first annual, we felt it our duty to continue the tradition. Preston Matthews was selected as editor of the second PaJaCa, and under his guiding hands and those of his co-workers the annual became a reality. There were other events of importance; the Alumni Banquet where we renewed acquaintance with the graduates. Sophomore Day. the Class Play, the All-School Banquet, Class Night, and the Baccalaureate Sermon. With mingled pleasure and regret, forty-odd graduates filed across the stage. Our days at Pfeiffer are over, but as we go our varied ways through life we hope that the elements of character which we have developed here will so guide our lives that Pfeiffer will never have cause to be less proud of the class of 1939 than the class of 1 939 is of Pfeiffer.
