Ihe third class to enter our university joined the group of loyal, enthusiastic boosters in the Sophomore and Junior classes in Sep- tember, 1911. The original members of the class Avere Ole Bennett, A.ndrew Dow, Mildred Foster, Jennie Grogan, David Larson, Charles Marshall, Beulah McGaw, Grace Murph , Agnes Nielsen, Oldham Pais- ley, Ray Keel, Dorothy Scott, Almet Solomon. Paul Selby, Peter Strehlow, Helen Taylor, Byrdie Trebilcock, Ethel Whitely, Katherine Nielsen, Neal Parsons and Agnes Stitt. Before we came, the Univer- sity had not had a football team, but with such good material on hand a team was organized, with Andrew Dow of our class as captain. To boost football, the first issue of the Yellow Sheet was bought out on November 9 by Oldham Paisley, who for four years has given his time to editing this interesting paper, which has done so much to boost all University of Omaha activities. Early in October the class was called together and organized by the Junior class President, with Neal Parsons as President ; Katherine Nielsen, Vice President : Jennie Grogan, Secretary, and Almet Solo- mon, Treasurer. The boys first showed their class loyalty by stealth- ily and carefully climbing the tower, tearing down the Sophomore colors, and then victoriously burning them. Again the Sophomores were ingloriously conquered when their refreshments were mysteri- ously taken from the back porch. To take revenge, they visited us when we were having our class party at the home of Ethel Rathkey. However, they were immediately forcibly ejected and entertained with songs of hunger until deluged with water from the porch above. Even the Juniors, who were supposed to be our friends, turned the lights out three blocks to the car. In February we entertained the school with a Good Times Party, and again we thought that the Sophomores were trying to take re- venge, when we couldn ' t find the spoons. Finally, we acquitted them of all guilt when the spoons were found at the bottom of the furnace.
