M. class, having been corralled, branded, trained and imbued with genuine college spirit, were assembled on the third day of June, 1921, in the presence of the graduating class. On this occasion they received all the privileges and en¬ titlements pertaining to Sophomore rank, and fell heir to a scholarly name, worthy traditions, noble ideals, and the guardianship of the sacred Branding Iron. One morning last September, six of the original V. I. M. class, the “second best, ” who had become “the best,” struggled up Normal Hill. They were lonely, for fourteen of their original number had been lost somewhere on the vast plains of Texas. Noting their distressed faces, President Marquis sent out an S. O. S. Ten responded: some from Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee; others from Agricultural and Mechanical College, Texas University, Southwest Texas Normal, Simmons, North Texas State Normal College, and Baylor. On the second day of matriculation, the class roll had swelled to sixteen loyal Sophomores, whose chief ambition was, under all circumstances and at all times, to uphold the dignity of the Sophomore Class. This ambition they have realized, though often the circumstances have been trying. The contests have ranged from all-night hunts and all-day labors to occasional feasts and merry-making. Various members have borne trials and hardships for the class: one member is known to have received an injured knee¬ cap in the struggle for the Freshman flag; another lost several nights of peaceful slumber while the Freshmen were in mad chase of him. Many novel and in¬ teresting events have occurred; but the pride of the class has been upheld, and, best of all, the class dignity has been preserved. The carnation was selected as the official flower. Because of the flawless perfection of the emerald, and because the rose is an ancient symbol of con¬ fidence, we chose the color combination, emerald and rose. Realizing the dexterity of the artist, the class selected the artist’s smock as its ceremonial robe. The motto, already exemplified in the class activities, is the pithy “Deeds, not words.” © © d Great accomplishments are destined to be performed by the class, as a whole and as individuals. In the group, great wisdom gained from marr ed life, experience gained in years of teaching, temperance taught through experience in pharmacy, sturdy self-reliance attained from life on the ranches, are combined with the happy buoyancy of the Irish, the sureness of the English, the sturdiness of the Scotch, the determination of the German, the adaptability of the French, and the big spirit of the American. With the calm guidance of Miss Elliott and President Marquis, this class will—well, we shall see what we shall sec. Mildred Thomson Louisa Montgomery ”
