SOPHO ORE CLASS HISTORY September, l950, brought together for the first time a group of people whose lives were to be closely united during four years at R.l.C.li. ln the earliest days of its activities as freshmen, the class showed that bond of closeness which was to be welded through- out its first, and now its second year. In December, after a great deal of hard work and effort, the freshmen were the happy victors of the Stunt Night contest. Urged on by chairman, Dick Donnelly, they presented their version of Romeo and Juliet, hill-billy style. After midyear examinations, the freshmen began their practice for Song Contest. Co- chairman Allison Hiorns and Ronnie Leonard wrote words and music to the songs which made the freshman contribution. The freshmen were represented in the court at the All-College Ball by Jeanne Carroll and Pauline Mahon. In June the Class of 1954 took their second important step together as they became sophomores. September, 1951, brought a flurry of ac- tivity to the Sophomore Class, as Social Com- mittee Chairman, Barbara Motte, helped the class to plan the Sophomore-Freshman party where food and entertainment were abundant. The Sea-Foam Swirl was one of the most successful of Ricean social events. Again, Bar- bara Motte and her committee worked dili- gently. Fish nets, mermaids, and various species of fish transformed the gymnasium into an aquatic wonderland. December brought Stunt Night around once more, and the sophomores, under the direction of Allison 1-liorns, practiced dili- gently for their musical production Fan- tasia. Witli the new year, the sophomores found themselves leading in the race for Anchor Points. They cheered at basketball games and faithfully attended plays and dances. The birds were not the only ones warbling in Spring as the sophomores prepared for Song Contest. The judges appreciated their efforts by awarding them second place, first going to their sister class-the seniors. The year 1951-52 served to strengthen the strong tie of class loyalty and friendship which the sophomores formed as freshmen. In june, the Class of 1954 was awarded the Anchor and the right to bear the title Anchor Class for the following year. It is certain that the two remaining years at R.I.C.E. will be part of a beautiful ex- perience for the Class of 1954. CLASS OFFICERS lst Row: M. Fontaine, E. Carey, H. Watlgh, J. Ryan, N.
