I-IISTGRY men squirm in Hack stoclcingsg we frowned grimly when they left their name cards Ioehinclg we assured them with a knowing air that they would live through their exams. Sometimes the freshmen have jarred us out of this super- ficial patronizing attitude of ours hy their en- ergy. their sophistication, or their keen under- standing. Gradually we have learned to know more and more of the seniors and juniors hy name, and we have made more friends among them. Even the most serious faculty memloer, we have discovered, has a sense of humor lurking some- where. We have gained a fuller understand- ing of people whom we knew before. There is one privilege peculiar to sophomores not only in Wilson but in other colleges also. Sophomores may he as serious as they please, anct, at the same time, as silly as they please. Of course there must he a mixture of foolish- ness ancl sense: some of us have learned hy experience that it is not jucticious to overdo either one. A year in college has given us responsibility, but not to the extent of sup- pressing our high spirits.

Besides these two privileges which are the personal property of our class, we have the privileges of every sophomore class of Wilson. We came hack from summer vacation, eager to see our friends: and college, with its assur- ing famiiiarity, was almost like a second home. During Vacation we had wondered intermit- tently about the incoming freshmen, Intangible and a hit mysterious they had seemed theng hut here they were hefore our eyes, quite con- crete, and very interesting. We had an im- pulse to show them around, whether they need- ed our help or not. The juniors and seniors, less remote and awful than last year,s juniors and seniors, we greeted as friends on nearly our own level. And we were sophomores and had the right to tyrannize over the freshmen for a whole week! At first it felt queer not to he freshmen. We found ourselves connecting hiacic gym suits with seniors, and we automatically held doors, even for freshmen. But we were not so slow to realize our rights. We watched the fresh-
