,4 Day with a Saplzwmfrf A yawn, a stretch, a wild clutch at a kimona, and a Sophomoreis day has begun. The lights go on. The nun patiently waits until each sleepy head has emerged from a warm bed. This particular Sophomore strips her bed and turns her mattress, then exhausted with the effort, sinks down on her chair, but a thought of wasted time pulls her to her feet and she proceeds to put her bed together with amazing alacrity. The bed, when finished, looks like a table and, well satisfied, Sophie grabs her clothes and tears into the washroom to get dressed, washed and combed. Sophie says her morning prayers and then assists devoutly at Mass. After Mass comes breakfast which she devours ravenously and then skips off to do her charge. fThis Soph has the High Schooll . At 9:00 A. M. the bell rings and she wrings her hands in vain as she watches feet scuff up her immaculately polished floor. Four periods in the morning during which the teachers hurriedly question the g'Wise', of Wise Foolsf, Such barbaric ignorance! but Sophieis doing her best. Now half of the day is gone and, lunch being hastily finished, our Soph dashes out to a fast game of basketball or baseball. Athletic, that Soph! Then three more periods at the end of which even the teachers bless the last bell and hurry out to preserve the last remnants of their patience. An hour of play fol- lowswthree-thirty to four-'thirty- and then study hall. As the nun tries to persuade Sophie that she is not the brightest girl in the class and that she really ought to study, Soph is busy thinking of that trick play she learned or the man she put out on third base. Finally she settles down -just in time for the dinner bell. Dinner has the nun wondering if Soph is man, mouse or elephant! 'The food she stores away! Another hour of recreation during which the girls play dodge-ball, QSoph,s always the first one outl , or dance to the music of their own radio or records. Seven-thirty finally rolls around and with a groan, Soph realizes that she must make use of this study period or that translation in Latin or that problem in Geometry just won't get done. fOh, woelj At quarter of nine our Soph says her night prayers, staggers to the dorm, nearly drowns in the tub, and with her last effort, collapses into bed, wondering where she ever got the strength to play such strenuous games. And, so we say farewell to A-Day-With-A-Sophomore. 44'
