On Being a Sophomore
Have you ever been a Sophomore?
Yes? Well then, can you ever forget the,
first day of your Sophomore year whon
you arrived at school, eager and alert
to fill your young adolescent mind with
a higher education, You walked in with
your nose in the air, stumbling over a
pair of feet which strangely resembled
your ovm, Then you are very much bewild-
ered to find that if you opened your
mouth to say something, some senior
promptly put you in your place and
squelched you for good.
First came the Senior High Re-
ception which broke the ico a little,es-
pecially when a couple of seniors turned
around to look at you. You wore vory
flattered until one of them said,"Hoy,
you don't belong here, only Senior High
kids alowed," Thon the stag lino look-
ed the Sophomore girls over, and prompt-
ly overlooked them, Next, ten of tho
lucky Soph boys were invited to join
the socicties, Of course the remainder
of the class could look at them from a
distance. The Theta-Nu-Adelphoi camo
next, to which a few fortunate tres
bolles were invited. Noxt in the line
of events, the ea were rushed and
then asked to join Sain and Sigma; Wow
they wait with grim faces and that "we
can take it" look for the day of
iniation to arrive.
. Oh, for the lifo of a Sophomore!

Prolude to a Stomp
It was a cool, crisp winter
evening and the moon hung low casting
silvery shodovs over the campus,
Youthful cowles shouted gay greetings
to each otter as they arrived in small
sports roa.isters, The lighted windows
of the large brick building sent out
friendly invitations to enter and be
merry. Inside there were many young
people gliding gracefully to the
rhythm of the world-famous orchestra.
The decorations blended in perfect har-
mony with the soft blue lighting--the
Sweater Stomp!
A sharp, northerly wind played
havoc with the campus and caused more
than one girl to clutch frantically at
her wind~blown coiffure, Wet,
bedraggled, couples shouted noisily at
each other as they piled out of their
small 1931 sports roadsters, The tall
brick buildings cast long eerie
shadows across the campus and there
was much pushing and shoving before
everyone was safely indoors, Inside,
@ mob was swinging and shuffling to the
blaring noisa of a hot jazz band from
a cheap nickelodeon, The decorations
were hardly noticeable because of the
heavy, blue, smoke-laden room--the
Sweater Stomp!
