Our sophomore class showed the same degree of disdain for the Hrst year students that the upper class showed for us. NVQ' hcgan to get known about school for our faults and virtuesg we recognized classmates from our previous year and in turn were greeted hy them. Activities began to occupy more ol' our attention and time, we had in other words reached the happy state of feel- ing ourselves real Vest Nightersv. The year passed only too quickly. The weight of a tremendous mental hurden of knowledge acquired during the year seemed too burdensome. our activities too preoeeupying, our friendships too plentiful and sincere. hut we have survived. Pride and mingled sense oi' humiliation filled our hearts when we realized the year was ended and we had advanced one rung up the ladder of education. i l Pauli- Tw:-:ily-Ili 1-1-

Me- lfmiord E Page Twenty-two As pre-juniors we have, for the most part, passed three years of our aeaclemie eareers at this institution of learning. During that period many ehanges have taken plaee - in faet, we ourselves are the best examples of that metamorlmhosis. First of all, as Freshmen our ranks were more numerous: our attitude far more eallow with awe for these elassie hallsg our purpose less determined: ourselves just youths, Our Sophomore year, in gradually ehanging degree. swiftly slipped hy while we were moulded into a more compact, self-assured. and more inspired group. We now stand at the threshold of a magnifieent state -f upper elass men and women. The goal of graduation is far more lucid than ever could be imagined. And vet, that prospeet though glorious, eauses a slight aehe in our hearts, heeause we realize that before long our trip through West Night will have been Completed. For the present we are not only striving to keep up the traditions and high standards of our alma mater, hut also to add our part to the heritage of those who have preeeded us.

And to enter these stately halls so elassie with statues and so fllled with tradition. Seeing all around the lofty noses of seniors we didn't mind lmeeause when we would be here that long we would he just as uppity . It took some time to get aeeustomed to eonditions and people attending the sehool. But it was not very long before other students as uninitiated as we reeog- nized us as fellow Wfest Nighters. Activities, too, began to elaim our attention. Therefore, we were praetieally seniors in our minds before many months had elapsed. Being a freshman had its advantages. The faeulty and other students did not expeet mueh of us and we did not disappoint them. Through time we absorbed appreeiation for the neeessary requirements of sehool life, made our friends and did our part to measure up to the expeetations of the upper elassmen. Row 2-fhfariou llurlin.
