Frank Daniels Neuman Degler Richard Farnum George Fidel would always save our cuts until March ZISt. Green as we were, we cut indiscrimi- nately and were faced with two alternatives -eeither attending class or suspension. Now that we were Sophomores having run the gamut of finals successfully, we were no longer undignified hFroshh and be- gan to assume an air of importance. As Sophs we had a swell time watching Fresh- men squirm. But we, too, squirmed in the hotly contested greased pole fight in which we were decisively defeatedebut that is the usual thing trationalizationeGeneral Psy- chology m. Down came the white flag, and the Freshmen boys were automatically re- leased from rules. Newt Masson was elected as our President. Routine matters claimed our attention; classes, clubs, social functions, lectures, and athletic cbntests. As our au- thority to sponsor activities of size was lim- ited, it was impossible for us to gain much Sixtyeigbt Alphonse DeLuca Ray Forsberg Constance Donate Armand Francart recognition in any field of endeavor. How- ever, individual class members made their presence felt on the gridiron, baseball fxeld, basketball court, and in non-athletic extra- curricular activities; Newt Masson, Art Frie- berg, Dick Roberts, Ellen Mae Carlson, and Ruth Kupferer, to name a few. We, as Soph- omores, had the distinction of being very musically-minded. Besides having quite a few talented soloists, we had a number of good singers who formed a nucleus for the newly-founded A Cappella Choir. Again springtime rolled around; love was in the air; marks were getting lower and lower; iinally examination week saved us tfor a whiley But directly following that week was the week of weeks, Spring Week. All of us had a wonderful time for four full days, and thus formally ended our Sophomore year at the Meadowbrook to the tune of Gene Krupa and his marvelous band. Eilleen Downs Arthur Frieberg

It swung into midstream with a gala Halloween party, a really auspicious beginning to three years of activity. Every- one can recall the treasure hunt; we searched through three towns for a set of uborrow- able,, false teeth, and when Victory was finally achieved were rewarded by, of all things, a whole pound of stale, black and orange jelly beans. Our Freshman initiation was something we all remember. The girls went through the usual routine of long skirts, no cosmetics, green nail polish, straight hair, and large signs on their backs. But the boys initiation -that was something! It seems that a few of our members had brothers in the upper classes, and they thought everything would Lloyd Bell Andrew Christenson Waeeau Joyce Bodain Edward Cohen WMK Hog? be made easy for them. 50 hey flam bo;-m antly disobeyed every rule. Their rewardWk was the most skillful tonsorial job ever seen on our campus. One bright Monday morn- ing they appeared looking like escaped con- victs, shaved within a quartervinch of their scalps. This created a sensation which took six months to overcome. In fact, Newt Mas- son is still minus a few hairs from his curly top. No sooner was this frightful ordeal of Freshman Rules over, than most of us ex- perienced an even worse oneuFraternity initiations! But these, too, proved to be fun, especially the tales we brought home, stretched or otherwise, of our mysterious missions. Then came our first college spring, and we should have learned our lesson well, so that henceforth as upperclassmen we Sixty-sevelz Doris Bodineg JW Warren Collins Maw va Wm ?kw Co wsowli W WW
