In fact we've never enjoyed anything quite as much as just being Sophomores, But of course if we had never been Freshmen, We could never feel the way we do now, because last year did give us a lot of new things to think about. On September 20, 1934, we came to college, meek and anxious and excited. VVC were all scared to death, and a little shocked when we found centipedes in our showers and red ants in our closets, but after we got over the horrors of Freshman VVeek, we began to be really attached to our Alma Mater. Of course it did irk us not to be able to walk on the grass, and to have to stand for hours holding doors open for thousands of awe-inspiring upperclassmen, but we soon got used to it, and even when horrible green aprons were put on us, We submitted quite meekly. They made us look like meal sacks tied in the middle, and they clashed with all our clothes, but welve forgotten about that now and our aprons hang on our walls, one of our dearest possessions. Vllhen we Hnally got acclimated, we elected Libby NfacFarland our President, and she was such a good one that she still retains this high position. Eleanor Samuel was our excellent Vice-President, and led the Freshmen Formal as it had never been led before and will never be led again. Incidentally, that was the best dance of the year, and We certainly did feel exclusive. Uur big sisters were pretty important to us last year, and we only hope that if We ever reach the stage where we may be called Juniors, we will do as Well as they. They took us to see mfhree Cornerecl lVIoon , which we all enjoyed very, very much, and later in the year they gave a dance for us over in Kent Hall. This was a new idea, so we felt very fortunate in being the first class to enjoy it. Then our two classes had a picnic together out at 'Welsh Tract, and never were hot-dogs and marshmallows so good. In fact we had such good times together that we didn't even mind when they won first place in the competitive plays. Kay Castle was our director, and we are sure that most of the credit goes to her for winning our prized second place. VVe had a lot of outstanding girls in our class and do still, or at least so We Setferrzfy-1zi1ze

think.. hflary Hayes was not only our Athletic Council representative, but was also a member of the Student Board. Esther Rayne was a most efficient treasurer and always managed to keep us out of debt, while Ginny Pepper did the secretarial honors for us. But don,t think that brains were our only virtue, for on May Day no one looked lovelier than our blond Duchess, Dotty Hanby, and her two brunette attendants, Sally Malcolm and Evelyn VVallace. VVe'll admit that the rest of us looked pretty sad in those yellow cheese-cloth rags, but then, we were really only a background and it didnlt make much difference when we all fell to the ground with mighty thuds as we did our hflodern Dance. But all that is over now, and in spite of some unhappy moments, we still cherish many fond memories of last year. It makes us sort of sad to realize that September Z0 will never again fill us with such dread, such excitement, and such delight. WE can't help feeling a slight pang, when we remember that we can no longer be the foolish ones at Stunt Night. But it is not on the teary part that we would dwell. For we are Sophomores, and many changes have taken place. Betty Jean Hammond has become our Vice-President, jean Barnes our Secretary, and Elizabeth Taylor our Treasurer. Skeet Davis and Eleanor Samuel are now members of the Student Board. Oh, we're an illustrious classg theregs no doubt about it. And we are Sophornoresl Glorious, carefree, happy Sophomores, who have doors held open for them, who tread heavily on the grass, and who never, never wear green. Eighty
