The 1940 Willamizzou SOPHOMORE CLASS Helen Ruth Farrar Ralph Swecker Wayne Spence President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Cne bright September morning in 1928, a group of bright faced, excited boys and girls began their first schooling under the patient supervision of Miss Lottie Slusser. These girls and boys climbed, until once more eager and impatient they began their high school career. During these two years, these silly Sophs have been a class of superior quality and quantity and the future Sophomores must work diligently to tear down the standard built by us. We are looking forward to next year, jolly Juniors, a year of many opportunities gained only through hard work anJ renpcnsibility.

The 1940 Willamizzou FRESHMAN CLASS Gwendolyn Wilbanks Johnie Cecil Stone President i Vice-President Freda Mae Corn Darrell Stringer Secretary Treasurer To Miss Lottie Slusser our beloved first grade teacher goes the credit of giving many of the present year Freshmen their start in education. On the opening day of school, the year 1931 our mothers cleaned us up spick and span and sent us off to school to begin our first year of learning. We progressed steadily through our primary year learning the fundamentals of Readini Ritini and Rithmetic'. Ready and eager for second grade With the close of school in May. Miss Martin taught and guided us throu'rh the second grade and Mrs. ?u- lauf through the third. At the close of our fourth year under Miss Miers we could hardly wait for school to start the next September because of the privileges of going upstairs with the big kids . When we had climbed as far as Junior high school we had begun to feel proud of our accomplishments and learning, and to look down on the lower grades as inferior, but as we left the eighth grade and entered high school we began to feel as if we were not so bip,r after all. Our first day in high school found us nervous and perhaps wobbly at the knees, but this feeling was thrown aside as we found our way about. Now, as our freshman year draws near to end we watch the seniors prepare to leave us, we are eager for that time of glory when we will have completed our high school years.
