AND HIGHER Sophomores! Now the more interesting work is begun. We are introduced to new helds of attainment-for example, foreign languages, and modern science. Acquiring these new habits of study is by no means easy. Neither is the task of the builders as they progress in their work. Skill, ambition, and technique are qualities required for the laborer to accomplish his goal. When working outside, the builders are often hindered by the elements.

The other members of the Junior English class seem deeply engrossed in following with their text the Columbia recordings. The final stages of our building project are begun in junior year. The remaining time is spent in adding brilliancy, color, and finesse. These final touches bring about a perfect product.
