A junior class is a building class, building within and without in the college world in preparation for the bigger world: forming perfect mind-windows and eye-windows for observing life. But weathering muddies windows and cracks them, sometimes shattering them. Heat buckles windows, cmd often their own weight twists them into distorted shapes. The task then is first to build strong windows, reinforced with tough sub- stance to withstand heat and sharp blows. Second is to protect the windows with strong screening in order to sift well what passes both in and out. Last is to scrub and polish, more carefully inside, for plain dust gathers thick on an exposed surface. But if the shattering, melting, twisting comes? We must meet the final task: the rebuilding, not on the old formula, but with a new blending enriched by the products of experience and experiment. We are living for the experience and groping for the method. Richard of Bordeaux Where's your ermine robe? x XV A Scr11y's got the Christmas spirit! 19 Sophomore-5 LEFT TO RIGHT, BACK ROW: Trulen, H.

We greeted old friends and smiled sympathetically at the bewildered newcomers. Things were surveyed from the exalted position held by sophomores! We learned a new kind of joy during our second year. The traditions became more beloved because we anticipated them and enjoyed them in the light of last year's remembrances. We became leaders in our college community and, best of all, knew the fun and responsibility too that comes with being a big sister. 20 But the sophomore year brought another change. We felt ourselves growing academically and socially into the adult world of RC. The conversations in the Linden and Lathrop smokers centered on the fact that the sophomore year is undoubtedly the best. The crowning event of our year was Sophomore Day. We knew then that our golden reign was nearly over, but we knew also that there will always be a sophomore class, and we believed wholeheartedly as we saw the last dying ember of our bonfire in the court that sophomore spirit never dies! The train's always late. Nancy QHIW W W 'fhvwwm Ruth Milkereit It's Wassail Season! Fresh men BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Schmidt, Norton, Kitzmiller, Iohnson, Walker, Roscoe.
