,hx SOPHOMORE HISTORY uf Qi- URING the two years in which we have been a class in this institution we have made a lot of history much of which space and the natural modesty Fl p i ff which is our strongest characteristic forbid our setting forth here. We P have struggled through that slouth of despond, the Freshman year, and up the hill difficulty of the Sophomore. We have met bravely, and most of us have conquered the Latin chemical, and psychological giants, and M, Wg, even Apollyon now known as Literature Two. Our burdens, composed if of library references laboratory experiments, model schoolhouses, and Latin sentences have at last fallen off. Here we cannot but pause and look back over the way we have come, before setting forward again upon our journey to the land of knowledge. Our meetings have always been peculiarly interesting. Every member of the class has always had a very decided opinion-all different-on every subject, and has boldly demanded his right of expressing and maintaining it. Our originality has been shown in the way ordi- nary parliamentary rules and precedents have been disregarded. If we have found difficulty at times in reaching decisions, it was for no lack of convictions, but rather because of an em- barrassment of them. And if at any time a part of our number have seen fit to reconsider a matter already decided by the whole, we did not hesitate to do so. At the beginning of last session we elected officers in haste-and repented at leisure. This session we selected new officers, and were confident they would be good ones-if they ever came to the meetings. The class has always manifested a strong interest in athletics, both at mass meetings and on the field. Somehow our class teams have been unfortunate, but whenever they met defeat the boys had not practiced, or had some other excuse which was equally satisfactory. One of our number fLassiterD succeeded in making the first foot-ball team, and distinguished himself, among others, in the great game with Sewanee. flt is said his name was in the newspapers, but we don't give this as historical fact.J Floyd also did excellent work on this team. joe King did fine playing on the 'Varsity basket-ball team, and the class president fBullD is on the College baseball team. Nor have we failed to win distinction along other lines. The class can boast of the prettiest, most graceful, brightest, most dignified, most sarcastic, wittiest, silliest, best talker, and most conceited girl in college. Among the boys, we claim the handsomest, brightest, stingiest, laziest, and the biggest loafer. One of us suc- ceeded last summer in persuading a last year's co-ed. to double his happiness and divide his cares, and another recently had the small pox. 4Nor must we fail to mention Mr. Robert Porter, who has been, during both sessions, very prominent in politics, having been defeated for every office in his class and society. Recently he was elected manager of the Sophomore Class track team, and since then he has retired from the political arena. Among the other honors won by members of the class are the following: Mr. L. ,A. Mitchell, of Alabama, will represent the Adelphi Literary Society in the spring oratorical contest, Mr. E. C. Hall will debate for the Agatheridans against the Erosophians, besides being L.I. class representativeg and Misses Susie Warner and Susie McCarthy are to repre- sent the Girls' Chapter in the oratorical and declamatory contests respectively. As we said before, it is not our nature to boast, but we would be more-or less-than human if we did not feel a thrill of satisfaction on looking back over a record so filled with honest endeavor and creditable achievement. ,rx r .'
