■ THE PIONEER OF SACRAMENTO JUNIOR COLLEGE Sophomore Will To the Freshmen: As the time draws near when we must bid farewell to the college, we, the Class of 1925, deem it necessary to make a will to the class who will take our place. At this time we will turn over our sacred rights and traditions to the Freshmen, who by their persistent efforts and studious endeavor, have attained the position of Sophomores at the Sacramento Junior College. 1. The Sophomore Cap: Worn only by those men, who, by their merits, have been admitted to the Sophomore class. May you wear it with a dignified air, and confine its sacred brim to the noble head of Sophomores only. 2. Rights and Traditions: In passing we give you the right to all privi¬ leges of a Sophomore, and to those traditions which you see fit to dedicate to your class. Consider it your sacred duty to take the lowly Frosh under your wing, and to instruct them in the traditions which every Sophomore class must lay down. Let them not adorn their bodies in the Sophomore Cords; let no form of headdress be seen upon their green skulls except the traditional hat, which hat shall not be worn in the building; consider it your sacred duty to keep the upper lip of all male Frosh free from foreign matter. As a Sophomore it is your duty to set a standard in class work far superior to that of under-classmen. Take your new place in life seriously; uphold the honor that the upper-classmen have established. Co-operate with your fellow classmates, and instill in the incoming Frosh the spirit of love and respect for their college. Strive to make S. J. C. stand out as foremost among the Junior Colleges in California. —CLASS OF 1925. 18

THE PIONEER OF SACRAMENTO JUNIOR COLLEGE We came back last fall as Sophomores only to find ourselves in the minority, as the preceding Sophomores had been and as every class of Sopho¬ mores will be if the Freshmen class continues to grow as it has the past two years. We were not long in showing that the minority was no handicap when it came to putting things over. The first thing we did was to elect class officers. Those elected were: Fred Sommers, president; Mildred McFall, vice-president; and Laurie Riggs, secretary-treasurer. The next thing we did was to plan a welcome suitable for the “lowly Frosh.” One of the main social functions of the year was the “Soph Hop,” which proved an entire success. When the February Frosh entered we again gave a reception in their honor and welcomed them with open arms (much to their passing discomfort). When there is a picnic, there always is a real good time. That was exactly the case when we invited the student body to journey over to Smith’s Mound on the Natomas Boulevard for our annual picnic late in March. From our class were elected the main student body officers and under their administration the college has been led through a successful year. Student body representatives from the Sophomore class for the fall semester were: Oscar Blumberg, president; Mildred McFall, vice-president, and Richard Link, treasurer. For the spring term: Merle Shreck, president; Mildred McFall, vice-president, and Richard Link, treasurer. There were six Sophomores on this year’s football team who received letters. The success of the team was largely due to the efficient leadership of Captain Albert Mullnix. The real credit for the publishing of the Pioneer rests with the Sopho¬ more class. The class wanted an annual but felt that they were too small to shoulder the entire responsibility of its publication. They were determined to have an annual and succeeded in interesting the student body to such an extent that the publication was made possible. After two successful years here in Junior College, we come to the time when we reluctantly have to leave. As we go out into the world or continue our college work in some higher institution, we will strive to carry with us the same spirit which has brought us thus far. —RICHARD G. BATTE. 17
