SOPHCJMCDRES Now that the terrifying ordeal of freshman year is over, the sophomore class is finding out that this year people expect more of them. Teach- ers are beginning to look at them with an evil gleam in their eyes and say, You must start thinking about college now! When they recover from this initial shock, it also develops that they are going to have to join in the activities and take over some of the jobs of running the school. But this year's class has managed to adjust itself pretty well. lt has supplied the student government with a secretary, it has supported the drama de- partment by joining the club and acting in the two joint plays and crewing for the Steadfast Tin Soldier. Another area of endeavor of which the sophomores are immensely proud is that of sports. They won both the field hockey and basket- ball tournaments ia feat for sophomoresl. You won't find any other class with as much vociferous spirit as they have. lf you ever hear a raucous Who are we for? , it is usually the sophomores being for themselves. The first thing that most senior high girls think of about the sophomore class is they know how to play bridge. Every girl down at that end of the hall has tripped over some sophomore on the study hall floor just in the act of trumping someone's ace. And the second thing that they think of is that the sophomores have their own language. The preponderance of howdas and skills with which they color their conversation baffles the average onlooker, but they seem to get their mean- ing across to each other anyway. In the last analysis, the sophomores have a lot of spirit and will make a fine senior class two years hence.

FRESHMEN When the question was put to them to say what they thought of their own class, two freshmen said, The inhabitants of the freshman class are defi- nitely not destined to be ladies. These two went on to intimate that their class was an almost worthless one, that they were dumb, silly, and boy crazy. This is, of course, an example of modesty in the extreme. Actually, although they are gay and spirited and socially minded, at the end of the first semester they had more people on the honor roll than any other class. lt seems obvious that no one in the high school agrees with the freshmen about their inherent worthlessness, because, as we all remember, they breezed through the G.A.A. elections, walking off with three of the four major offices. The honor was well deserved, as G.A.A. activities seem to be one place where they center their fathomless energy. Almost everyday, one sees an upperclass- man cringing around study hall, trying to avoid the freshman who is approaching to inform her of her noontime duties. With the freshmen, sports are a rather serious thing and, therefore, anything directly connected is very important. One of the nicest things about this class is that they know how to have fun, and they have fun togetherl The highest compliment that we, their seniors, can pay the freshmen is that they are very like our seniors, the class of l95O. 4
