9 SbuckSe ram srl Qlllass ilaisturp The Class of '19 met October 13, 1916, to reorganize and elect officers for the ensuing year. Baker, the secretary and treasurer, took the chair in the absence of both the president and the vice-president. The meeting was called to order and nomination and election of officers followed. The class agreed on the following: President, Ray Baker: vice-president, Louis Carpenterg secretary, Amanda Sandstromg treasurer, John Pearse: sergeant-at-arms, Reuben Larseng Shucks reporters, Louis' Carpenter and Amanda Sandstromg Tattler reporters, ,Dorothea Boulter and Myron Osborng athletic representative, Louis Carpenter. Miss G. Denny consented to continue to sponsor the class. The class is not as strong in numbers this year as last, but the quality of the class counterbalances the deficiency in numbers. To the school the class has presented a slow, calm exterior. The Niagara River below the Canadian Falls presents a comparatively smooth surface which conceals a tremendously powerful under-current-no human power can resist that mighty stream-rising to the surface far below. Oh, ye Aggies! Watch the Class of 1919. We might start don'ting, we suppose, But still we guess we won'tg For everywhere a fellow goes, He runs against a don't. It's don't do that and don't do this, The way with dont's is fraught: But hardly one worth notice is, Excepting, Don't- Get Caught. As barriers the dont's are set To hinder me and youg We never saw a don'ter yet Who got there on the do. At all the dont's its best to smile, The whole pestiferous gang Just keep on doing all the while, And let the dont's go hang. The Sophomores have a quiet way, Altho at times they're blithe and gay 3 Their every move is most entrancing, There's mischief in their silent glancing Even tho they're garbed in Quaker gray.

Sbuck5 1 ' ' ISAI SOPHOMORE CHRISTMAS PARTY A rousing Christmas party was held December 16 in rooms 305 and 306. At the door each person was given a slip of paper on which was written the name of one member of the Santa Claus family. After some difliculty each member of the family found his relatives and began planning some way in which each member Cof the family foundj might show his wisdom, wit, or humor. After the program, which was very clever, a few games were played. We then adjourned to room 305 to see what new mystery was there awaiting us. In the middle of the floor was a large Christmas tree, decorated with snowballs and many other bright ornaments: beside the tree stood jolly old Santa. Last, but not least, each one received a Christmas gift and two full stockings of the goodiest homemade candy and popcorn. After romping a while we were contented to say, Good night, and we did. ATHLETICS In football we, the Sophomores, certainly did shine. Three of our men made the team and won sweaters. Troxel, a burly right guard, was the terror of the opposing team. Dick Cornell, swift left end, beat them all at catching forward passes, and was a hard and sure tackler. Harry Johnson, the speedy left halfback, was one of the best on the team. At the Olympics we did not make much in the races or tug-of-war, but when it came to the big ring fight, we simply swept the other classes off the field, coming out second place with a score of seventy-five to the Juniors ninety, showing the Seniors who's who. During basketball season we had another chance to win glory and we surely did, for three of our men again made A's. Leslie Johnson, altho not quite eflicient for first team, was a speedy man and could hold his own with any of the others. Linn, a new member of the class of whom we are very proud, was a shark at throwing field goals. , Harry Johnson sure has pep. He was the swiftest of any man on the floor. ' Of course we will have to admit we made a poor showing at the inter-class games, but there's a reason.
