THE SENIOR ELASS The freshman knows and knows that he knows. A little green perhaps, a little eager to fall into the ever-ready traps set by the traditional upper- classmen — the class of 1942 was, however, no dif- ferent in their reactions from most. The necessary adjustmenis and hard-learned lessons came no harder to them than most. But this was a class of reactionaries. Their spirit soon manifested itself when the girls revolted against the obnoxious hair nets and challenged thsir sophomore oppressors to a tug-of-war in which they were successful. The outcome of the boys ' more traditional combat was less favorable and a broken rope plunged the class into Crum ' s waters. After Christmas vacation their spirits were revived, and they plunged enthusiasti- cally into plans for a Freshman Show which in- cluded a gay melodrama. The sophomore knows but knows not that he knows. The Sophs of 1942 took precious little time to find out. Scarcely were they accustomed to the luxury of eight o ' clock breakfast and the supremacy of be- ing upper-class when they introduced the DODO to a dazed Sworihmore. A queer hybrid, this creation of ' 42 immediately evinced considerable literary talent in the matter of stories, poems and cartoons. A further evidence of initiative was to be found in the class Christmas party. This successful function turned into an annual affair. Class spirit also re- sulted in a spring picnic. It was a farewell gesture to carefree youth when the proximity of honors studies and necessity for settling down to staid maturity impressed on them the realization that time was growing short, as time inevitably does.
