Owing to different duties some have left school, the vacancies being filled by class election. Belle Allsworth is now teaching school in VVyOl1llI1g'. XVoodrow I-Vilson left to enlist, Frank McEniry is Sergeant in the Quartermaster Department at jacksonville, Florida, and Owen Geer resigned to carry on Y. M. C. A. work. The Sophomore Class scarcely needs an introduction now, nor does our 'very capable President. The class owes much to him and to the Vice-Presi- dent, who has acted in his absence so successfully. Perhaps our first public appearance was at the Montana game, when, between halves, the Annual Freshman-Sophomore sack-rush was staged. The twenty Freshmen put the twenty sacks in the middle CU of the field. The Freshmen were lined up at one goal line, and the Sophomores at the other. Then the shot was fired, and there was a rush. After the dust had settled we could see that the sacks were mostly at the Freshman goal. The light then consisted in getting the sacks to the Sophomore goal, and several pairs of handcuffs on the Fresh- men. Those who know the regulations and rules f?j -of a sack-rush know that that is customary. But the unusual thing about this particular rush was that when the shot brought an end to hostilities, the F-ophomores were win- ners, having thirteen of the twenty sacks on their goal.

I KYNEMSBOIC19 The Freshmen were soon challenged to a tug'-of-war, the repo1't of which has never been published. Shortly afterwards, the class policy was outlined by' our ohicers in letters written to each member of the class. This policy follows : 1. To elect an Executive Committee which would be responsible for all class stunts. 2. To elect a Kynewisbolc Committee which would be responsible for our space in the Kynewisbolc. 3 lhese tu o committees together with the class ofhcers and the . . ' i C , fi. V 1 . . . Clarion correspondent, were to fO1'lN the Sophomore Commission. CThis commission met regularly every Thursday noonj 4. To present the University with the Championship Banner. 5. To give a class play. 6. To give at least two class social 'functions each semester. On Friday evening, November 23, the class, following the policy which had been outlined and adopted. presented Our Boys at the XVoman's Club. The proceeds were donated to the Y. M. C. A.

As a result the class was rewarded with a full house, and was able to turn over 5586.00 to the Y. M. C. A. Triangle W7ar Fund. Thanks for the success of the play are due to Miss Ipsell of South Denver High School, who helped coach the play, and to Otto Moore, our President, who not only tool: pa1't in the cast, but bore the brunt of the coaching as well. Along towards the First of the football season. before there was any cer- tainty of the championship, except in the minds of the students out here at school, some Sophomore conceived the idea of presenting the school with a banner which would stand for the victories, defeats fiof which there were nonej, and everything' which the football team had fought for during the season. This banner was to have on it the words 'fRocky Mountain Football Championshipf' because we all firmly believed that we had the greatest team in the history of the school. and being' such a team, it could not be beaten. The Sophomore Class had so much conhdence in this team that long be- fore the season ended. in fact,Vat the beginning of the season, we elected to Page TIU1'?1f1N
