class activity Bumps, bruises, and hot tempers were the order of the day for the traditional Frosh-Soph Brawl held in the Fall. Only the members of the two classes were allowed to participate in the battle for supremacy, but all students came to cheer for their favorites. Preceding the Brawl, spirit was high as hostilities were intensified by the burying of the spirit of the sophomore class. In retaliation, the sophomores hanged a typical freshman in effigy at Sather Gate. Following the event, the freshman class staged an informal dance, The Brawl Crawl. In addition to the Brawl, each class participates in its own activities. High on the freshmen ' s list of favorites is the exchange with Stanford in the Spring and of course, the Sunday Suppers and Sings held by both classes proved fun and good food for everyone. The sophomores declare one week in the year, Soph Week reigned over by the Soph Doll and culminated by the Soph Hop. All in all, whether it be a brawl or enjoyment of a more refined sort, both classes find that these activities are fun and provide an excellent way of meeting new students. 15
