Sophomore Class In the early part of last fall the members of the class of 1939 registered at the University and at once began to manifest the traditional sophomore enthusiasm. There was a definite cleavage between the experience and culture of this group and the naivete of the freshman class. There never has been a sophomore who slid not think that he was a real college man and that all freshmen were just high school youngsters who ought to lx: educated. This was the theme of second year activity for the first few weeks of the semester. The fall of 1936 witnessed many pitched battles between these two hostile elements, which were carried on all in the spirit of fun and enjoyable nonsense, for the erudition of the incoming students. The hostilities gradually died out due to the organization of the freshmen and their superiority in numbers, if not in spirit and learning; or perhaps the)1 learned much too c|uickly from the tactics of their masterful instructors. The climax of the hazing came on September fourth when the forces of the two classes opposed one another in the Brawl.” It was. indeed, a very hard fought contest which was not decided until the last event. At the start of the hat rush the yearlings led the sophomores by a score of 3 to 2. The freshman class emerged victorious after one of the most colorful fruit and vegetable battles seen on the campus. On the evening of the day of the brawl the class of '39 was the unofficial host to its erstwhile enemies at a dance in the school auditorium. The Freshman Reception was the official welcome of the Associated Students extended to the class of 19-fO. 126)
