Aa UPHU UH The world has laughed at the expense of sophomores long enough. The energetic and high-minded class of '45 is tired of the ridicule and wishes to clarify a few points. No other class has received the slurring remarks that sophomores have suffered. Tho' freshmen are called green and rat g and are put through the tortures of initiation, they are the pets of the campus. Profs, understanding that they have to adjust themselves to college, give frosh just enough work to make them complain. juniors are branded by no particular trait. And seniors-oh, well, everybody knows how respectable, how industrious, how careworn seniors are. But the sophomores! All too long cruel jokes have ac- cused them of assuming .1 blase attitude and misinforming wide-eyed freshmen. They plead innocent to this charge. But even if one did occasionally inform an amazingly ignorant freshman of some vital-well, useful-facts, his spirit of helpfulness is not too hard to understand. It is only human to try to help a homesick babe over a few rough places. And there is the other charge of assuming all-wisdom while displaying all-ignorance. In any class there is admit- tedly a minority of those who are not all they think themselves, but sophomores seem to be the butt of all of the unjcst jusns. Besides the ordinary peacetime hardships to which sopho- more classes are subjected, the class of '45 has had an added burden. Memories of losses linger. Among the first and foremost losses sustained was that of our class presi- dent. Tom Collins, who decided he wanted to fly with the Navy. His going suggested to the Uncle that I-Iowardls sophomore class had men in it, so month by month he took steps to alleviate the situation. The class is not only scattered over the city of Birmingham but is rather sparsely represented over the entire globe. However, Uncle Samuel left diamonds for some and unwavering hope for others. In fact, there is hope for the entire class. For just as .i class changes from naive babes to world weary sophists. so the latter undergo the natural metamorphosis to sturdy juniors.
