The 1940 P a J a C a ★ SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The Moving Finger writes, and having writ moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit Shall lure it hack to cancel half a line Nor all your tears wash out a word of it. As I look back to the fall of 1938. I see in my mind’s eye a hundred and twenty freshmen entering college. We possessed the usual proud and confident spirit of the high school senior. In such a spirit we began our first college year with the organization of our class and by choosing those we deemed best fitted as class leaders. For President. Stephen Saunders was chosen; Betty McCracken, Vice-President; and Audrey Hawkins, as Secretary-Treasurer. The class spon- sors were Mr. Tolle and Miss Aull. Yes, “Pride goeth before a fall.” Our dauntless spirits were doomed to undergo humiliation: however, we passed through the usual trials and tribu- lations of the Freshmen with smiles. Initiation Week came with its pale-faced girls and bright-cheeked boys, “Rat Court” with punishment for those who dared insult the dignity of the Sophomores, and a picnic at Bolton’s Springs to seal the bonds of friendship and good will between the “plaintiff and defendant.” Although our pride was deeply wounded, the dauntless spirit remained. Consequently, there was no scantiness about the accomplishments of this class. Many Freshman names were found on the Dean's honor roll. In the field of athletics the Freshmen excelled also. Our President left school at the end of four months. Betty McCracken then assumed the duties of President, and Olin Adams was selected as the new Vice-President. Thus, progressing in work and play the hours rolled into days, the days into the few, fleeting months of our first college year. Here we bade good-bye to the Sophomore Class, knowing that in a very short time we should take the places left vacant for us. When we returned, lordly Sophomores, to begin our second year's venture, only seventy-seven reassembled. Before long, we realized that the envied posi- tion as Sophomore embodied much hard and earnest work. I o guide us through this all-important year the following officers were elected: President, Carlton Mock; Vice-President, Dorus Ballard; Secretary- Treasurer, Bertha Frinks. Sponsors were Mr. Winkler and Miss Chapman. Betty McCracken was chosen as the one capable of editing the PaJaCa. the student year book. For the equally important task of editing the school paper, the Torch. John D. MacLeod was selected. As Sophomores, with the change from the lowliness of the Freshman to the dignity of the Sophomore completed, our pride received a boost. This elevation was not all unfounded for laurels in athletics and scholarship were for the Sophomores. In the closing months of our life at Pfeiffer there were many events that will be pleasant to remember the class play, May Day, All-School Banquet. Alumni Banquet All these events and then the last and best of all. Commencement Week. Our days at Pfeiffer are over, and as we leave you who have meant so much to us. we extend to you our devotion and gratitude. Our hope is that we may live up to the principles and ideals you have instilled in us and that we may strive to maintain the standard “Knowledge joined with Morals.” Alice Stokes. Class Fhstonan.
