a JUNIORS ARD knocks have formed the most conspicuous feature of the juniors. Born in the stormy days Of the war, the class has in time since traversed n0 paved highway. As Uncle Sarnis war babies, the juniors worked hard as soldiers and nurses, only to have their work all go for naught with the signing of the Armistice. In the days that followed, they twice felt the chilly slime of Crystal Springs Lake due to the superior pulling power of the classes before and after. As infants, they were forced to seek their beds on the lawn one night; and it was only with the most stubborn resistance that the ordeal of green caps was averted. This year, the class returned to find its membership shattered from 86 to 38, and from the largest Sophomore Class in the history of the college, it became the smallest 0n the campus. Last March, the juniors were doomed to further disappointment with the loss by a few inches of the Oregon City Relay, which they had conquered without difficulty as Freshmen and Sophomores. But the juniors place much emphasis on the proverb: HHard knocks make the man.H In the success of Reed Day, which they inaugurated to replace Junior Week End, they feel justly proud. Their Victory in the inter-class track meet proved their superior speed and agility. The athletic, social, and literary activities of the class are indicated by the fact that it lists among its members the captains of this years and next years football teams, captain of the track squad, editor, news-editor, and business manager of the Quest, president of the A. R. A., director of the chorus, four all-star football men, a debater, and the business-manager of The Griffin. Robert Chamberlain and james Hamilton headed the class during its Freshman and Sophomore years, while William Stone was prexy during the present year until his election to the editorship of the Quest, when he resigned. The present officers are : J ames Gantenbein, President; Elizabeth Gore, Vice-President; Sibyl Lindell, Secretary- Treasurer; and Harold Robinson, Sergeant-at-Arms.

0PHOMORE8 at college, have occasion to rejoice over the arrival of Dr. Scholz. The greater part of their two years spent at Reed g has been during the long interim between presidents. The CW members were privileged to know Dr. Foster for only a few months in their early Freshman days. The class of 1923 started after the close of the war with their interests and enthusiasms for the things of peace. It is interesting to note that a large proportion of this group are politics, history, economics and sociology majors, while the premedics and science majors include more than a fourth of the class. When it comes to opinions on student government, and partici- pation in campus activities, the Sophomores are simply irrepressible. i Rumor has it that the next constitutional amendment will place a i y time limit for discussion by classes in student body meetings, because l there is such a superabundance of budding and full blown orators in the Sophomore class. T THE SOPHOMORES, perhaps- more than any other group With the greatest number of members of any Class the Sophomores have contributed their ilpepH and accepted responsibility in every phase of college life. They have also made a sincere effort to know all the members of their own class by holding extra class gatherings, among which was a very successful hike and roller skating party. The reception to the Freshmen at the beginning of the year, where an attempt was made to furnish amusements that all might enjoy, typifies the democratic spirit of the Sophomore class. The Class officers are: Lewis jones, President; Frances Kling, Vice-President; Florence Craven, Secretary; William Miller, Treas- urer; Anton Lindstrom, Sergeantaat-arms. 28
