I was once just a sophomore boy, Peaceful and ordinary, When all at once it happened, boom! They made a knight out of me. Open the doors, carry the books, To fair damsels’ needs I comply; Never a quibble, never a smirk, Just a couple of thousand deep sighs. Chivalry day for the girls in the soph class is just fine but the same can’t be said for the boys who must play the part of a Sir Galahad. But it happens for only a day and after com- pleting the Idylls of the King. At school every day and on time during sophomore year were Bruce Beaudoin, Raymond Bedard, Roberta Bensuk, James Boucher, Jo- anne Boutotte, Nancy Burke, Frank Catalfamo, Janice Couture, Armand Dion, Justine Gag- non, Joan Gallagher, Carmelita Giambrocco.
