They were the ones who knew so many people and always looked like they were having fun. And of course, we put on the “Freshman 10” (excess pounds). As sophomores, we had matured a bit. Now we had a class under us. We could be semigods, because we had a circle of friends and knew at least one person in each of our classes. In sophomore-level classes, the professor frequently asked the class out for beer right before finals, provided that the class paid. And after winter finals we boasted that we were halfway to being upperclassmen. Sophomores were frequently asked about their similarity to the word sophomoric, meaning wise fool. Junior year could be defined as the “fun year. No fear of upperclassmen anymore, and no fear of resumes and interviews with big business; just fun and extensive amounts of frivolous time-wasting.

And we had % finally declared a major and were taking upper level classes. NVe were actually learning something useful. As seniors we had finally hit the big time. We were the Big Men On Campus. As BMOC’s we readied ourselves for interviews with IBM and General £ Dynamics. The black “power suit” hung in our closet, just aching to be used and we had at v- least 15 copies of our resume n sitting in our leather portfolios. This year we really were stu dents.
