TO UPHOLD TRADITION, WE INITIATED THE SOPHOMORES SEPTEMBER 17. THIS GAVE US A CHANCE TO FLAUNT SOME OF OUR NEW ACQUIRED AUTHORITY AS SENIORS. However a controversy arose out of this ordeal. Some thinking individuals thought this initiation to be a silly kind of bar- barity. They maintained that upper-class- men could learn to know Sophomores at a dance or party. They said that a well- planned initiation might be good, but they also said that initiations usually weren't wcll-planned. Red-faced, we admitted that our initiation was not too orderly and accepted the just criticism. The Sophomores wore burlap bags, colored themselves with lipstick, and scented themselves with garlic. They rolled nuts, received several cracks with a bludgeon, and ate vaseline sandwiches. Af- ter this, we concluded that the Sophs had taken their ini- tiation in great style, and we accepted them as full-fledged members of PAHS. nine
