SOPHOMORE . 3 : y ■■ ft « y V y SOPHOMORE CLASS 'I he world, yea even the smallest part thereof, has its ideals. Though we constitute an infinitesimal portion of this great cosmos, we are proud to say that, in keeping with the march of progress, we have striven to give our best for the gladdening of our parents’ hearts, for our school’s greater glory, for our own advancement, and for those who may come after us. Whatever time may hold in store for us, the memory of our class as a unit will ever serve to cheer the weary heart to its final goal. Our class of ‘25 dates from the fall of 17. but only in 1921 as Freshmen was the real impetus given to united effort on our part. The largest class in the history of St. Mary’s, we began our college course with high ideals and aspirations. Wt ambitioned great things and our hopes were not disappointed. In literature, athletics, music, and dramatics our representatives bore a part greater than had been previously shouldered by any one class. We were only lowly Freshmen, but in every way possible to Freshmen, we merited respect—and commanded it. At the beginning of the present year when first we felt that our former lowly station was a thing of the past, the determination came afresh to surpass our deeds of old. Under the able leadership of Frank Morris our class activities were supervised with the care and skill of a veteran campaigner. In the field of athletics, as a glance at that section in the Dial Annual will show, many of our number starred. In the inter-class contests, we made our mark, tucking the basketball championship under our arms as a well earned prize. Our place in other college activities has also been prominent. The literary productions of our class men have been prolific and wc have no hesitation in claiming an enviable record of scholastic attainments. The Harbaugh Debate was won through industry and untiring perseverance by a Sophomore, Francis Motherway. Maurice Bates was awarded first place in the Costello Catechetical Essay Contest; and the Alumni English Medal was won by Charles Bland ford, to all of whom we point with pride as members of our class. Joseph Loftus, ’25, represented us in the Intercollegiate Debates and merited unstinted commendation from many sources. For the first time in some years a place in the Intercollegiate English Essay Contest was awarded to a St. Mary’s man, Wilfrid Hayden, of the Sophomore class, who also merited eighth place in the Intercollegiate Latin Contest. The tale is told, the excitement over, and pleasant memories alone remain. Soon we must part, some of us never to meet again. All of us may not attain the privileged rank of Seniors in the world of college, but wherever our paths may lead, none of us will surrender the title our class has won—to rise to ever greater heights and win.
