SOPHOMORE COURT While the student body waited in expectant silence and dread, this digni- fied finger of the law filed to their respective places in the court room of injustice. With the cry of “Order in the court!’’ Judge Gimmi opened the most recent session of the famous Sophomore Court. Realizing the serious obligation of their office, the court proceeded at once to hear the cases of the several offenders. By some strange coincidence, they were all Freshmen. These dangerous criminals (most of them caught in the act!) were naturally found guilty and the court meted out punishment worthy of their reputation. One of the ‘milder’ sentences was the order for Rosalie Grossman to take a “‘pet’’ skunk to classes with her for a day. After a gruelling session in the courtroom, with press cameras clicking, attorneys sweating it out, and Freshman literally melting with fear, the Sophomore Court adjourned, feeling that it had helped the Freshman class to realize that “Crime Doesn't Pay—whether you did it or not!” 69
