The first year deprived the class of some of its best members through military conditions, but this only served as an in- centive to the rest of the class. When the class took upon itself the high and mighty honor of Sophomores, the other classes had to acknowledge the gre atness of the class of ' 21. To start the social life of the year, the class carried out the old custom of Sophomores, by giving the annual Hallowe ' en party. The telegrams from noted people made this party one long remembered. The second year was one not easily forgotten. This year the class has acquired more dignity, perhaps because of the knowledge accumulated in the three years of University life, or possibly because of the more serious future seen just ahead — the height of University life— that of being Seniors. However, good times had their place. The class gave several parties. A deed, long to be remembered, was the presentation of the new drop curtain for the stage. As the class finishes its Junior year, many glances are cast backward at the good times of the three years of University life, but even more are sent forward toward the coming year, when this class will do its best to uphold the best traditions of Seniors in the University.

An enviable record was made in all branches of school activities. The members of the class are all modest in nature, but nevertheless they consider their class as the leading one in University life. The class was represented this year in all branches of athletics and school activities. It held a monopoly on the captaincies of athletic teams. Sophomores were captains of the football, the basketball, the track and the tennis teams. There were three Sophomores in the annual play, one of whom held the feminine lead. On Gala Day, the Sophomores gave a sketch called A Modern Version of a Day on the Nile. This number was one of the hits of the program. Mem- bers of the class held important positions on the Gateway Staff, those of busi- ness manager, assistant business manager and assistant editor. The majority of the class also kept a high standing in scholastic honors. On the evening of February, the thirteenth, the class entertained the entire school at a party in Joslyn Hall. Some of the superstitious ones of the class protested against holding a party on the thirteenth. In spite of the opposition, the party was held, proving a great success. Honor guests were members of the Trinity basketball team, whom our boys had defeated earlier in the evening.
