SOPH SCRAMBLE Show me the way [ “I’ve never been more confused in my whole life. I’m too big to play with the Freshmen and not big enough to play with the Juniors and Seniors. I really “eat up” going to dances, but there are two big things which are holding me back—I don't know any girls, and I’m not old enough to get the “wheels.” Imagine what the fellows would say if they saw me taking the bus. I'd be the laughing stock of the entire city. The rest of my life couldn’t be this com- plex. Could it? My mom says that I'm going through a stage. Is this bad? At any rate, wait until next year when I get the family car; no more hesitating to ask a girl for a date. I'll just say, ‘Come on, chick, I got Dad’s bomb.’ I’ll really live it up. Man, I get an itchy accelerator foot just thinking about it. S.I.? Yes, I guess it’s great. A few things happened this year, like getting our Junior jackets and beating the Seniors for the intramural footballl cham- pionship; but I know that these are nothing compared with what is in store for me. In fact, I like it here. But why is it so tough?” SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS SEATED (I. to r.): Mike Chase, Secretary; Larry Alioto, Sophomore Class President; Walt O’Dwyer, Vice-President.

I think I'm lost. There are so many strange faces peering at me from every direction. “Remember in grammar school when I was getting straight “A and was first string in every sport? High school is sure a lot different from grammar school. “Now I’m just the lowest of the lower classmen. Yet here the teachers treat you just like a man— not like grammar school, with the nuns patting you on the head and wishing you well. We sure used to get away with murder. Not any more. Thousand word comps and Fr. Carlin's jug soon put an end to such antics. Look at those Block-Club guys! They must be about seven foot, five. And some of them look about twenty-five years old. When I become a senior I want to be All-City in every sport and student body president. But that seems too far away. I’ll be an old man before that happens. Those religion tests of Fr. Robidoux—I haven't passed one of them yet. I really like this school, though. No, I wouldn’t trade places with anyone in the whole wide world. I'm a freshman at Saint Ignatius High School—the best school in the city!!’’ “I’m just the FROSH FANDANGO lowest of the lower classmen 30 Shussssh! Here come Fr. Henry with the tape recorder!
