nwA uta SLf i ! i i i I ( i w Class History 1930-1931 Freshmen: Green And knowing it. Yet constantly Having it rubbed in By superior beings Of whom we stand In awe apart— Strange voices. Strange people Order us Here, there, yonder In rapid succession. And we—follow blindly Here, there, anywhere, Because we are ships Without apparent sails— Ships lost in a vast sea And surrounded by terrors Of gigantic proportions. Sophomores: We are getting used to the place; The horrors are gradually Disappearing. We look about us Finding pleasant things. Perhaps even— We have acquired A faintly condescending air Toward those infinitely Inferior beings— Freshmen. Juniors: How is it We have advanced Thus far So rapidly? The place is changing. Somehow The Seniors have lost Much of their awe And that glory In which we have clothed them Heretofore. We are successful; We speak proudly Of picnics, banquets, plays. Our boys, too, Have flashed in glory More than once Upon the football field. We are quite familiar now With a certain abstract But essential thing. We have heard it Many times; They call it School spirit. Page 28 I I I I 10 3 1
