T H E S O P H O M O R E S In music the class is behind no one. It is with pride that she hails her octet. Furthermore, the Class is well represented in the college orchestra, furnishing the pianist, three first, and one second violin, two flutes, an al- to, the cello. and the bass-violin. Her members punt forth every effort to make the music at St. John's the best possible. V In literary work she is leader. Her debators and orators have held their own against all opponents. Her members frequently perform in open meetings of the Literary Societies, and no one can deny that the Sophomores are not easily surpassed in their literary work. The class has lost only a few of its original members. Among these is our beloved Big Boy' CKarl Schaafj who is now continuing his work in Springfield. Schaaf was the star twirler of the St. John's nine in '15. The Class '19 can rightfully feel proud of her existence. May she complete the work she has undertaken. If her plans materialize, she will send twenty strong men to work in the vineyard of the Almighty. Therefore, let it be the wish of all that the Class '19 may have the blessings of all in its earnest efforts to send out able edu- cated men and women to shoulder the responsibilities that await them in the journey of life.

N., A Sophomore is that part of a real live college that never wholly sinks into a state of oblivion. Although on- ly a human being of little less importance than a Prof,, and despite the fact that he is always exceeding the speed lirnits of the college rules and regulations, we must give him credit for his faithfulness in piloting the storm-tossed ship that carries the Freshmen safely across the billowy sea of Freshman life. St. John's, indeed, has her' Sophomores. Is not their presence felt in the very atmosphere of all college ac- tivities? Are they not ever at hand to put their shoulders to the wheel that slowly but surely revolves year after year carrying the burdens of Dear Old Alma Mater? The opening day of school in the year 1912 brought together several small green things commonly known as sextaners, for the sole purpose of education. However, we must remember that from small acorns tall oaks grow. Likewise, as these Sextaners were exceptionally good seedlings, there has grown during the three years, the largest class in the history of the college. having twenty members to sally forth under the brilliant banners of Cerese and Green, beautined with the motto, Sine labore, nulla corona. The Class '18 is well represented in college athletics. During its brief years of existence it has furnished men to uphold the well-known reputation of St. John's on the diamond. In basket-ball she has contributed her just share, having given to the quintet such able men as Meierdirks, Gerecke, Mappes. Schaaf and Summers to up- hold the records of the Orange and Black. In track she has been a worthy contender, carrying off the medal for the high jump at the height of five feet and three inches. and winning nineteen points in the meet of '15. X 1 All

AQN. 91 Q F TER A STUDENT has passed through the two pre- paratory, or academic years, he becomes a Freshmen. Oh, how eagerly this position is looked forward to by the 'imagined' mistreated Second Preps, who have somehow or other gathered the impression that as Freshmen they will be 'something important' An impression once thoroughly ac- cepted by the mind remains. This is true of the Freshman. Fitted out with a suit of the latest 'Pall Mall' cut. characterized with a countenance which flourishes unexcelled wisdom, he passes through the corridors and streets imagining himself to be the quintessence of importance. The Freshman of our Al- ma Mater is mistreated by no one save himself, and the more he mistreats himself the better he seems to enjoy it. But once gone through a series of Kaegi Greek Lessons-and that not Very successfully-this important air takes on a more humble and serious mien. But the Freshmen '16 have somethings to be proud of. 5?-e Q25
