HE CLASS OF '30 returned to the Hill this year determined to keep up the fine record it had set during its freshman year. As soon as teams initiated. were to partici- ~ i~1 ~ the ",Rat Rul~s" tournaments. The class soph?more were girls organized a splendid pate In, athletic made ~ record In every sport. The honors of wmrung the inter-class basket- ball match and of ranking second in both field ball and volley ball were added to the coed's list of achievements. The sophomore men had the pleasure of bringing down the undefeated junior basketball team. The class contributed just as many to the varsity football squad this year as it did last year. Although the sophomores have taken great interest in the athletic activities. they have displayed an even greater desire to excel in things intellectual. Main- taining a high scholastic standard and participating in extra-curricular activities of a literary nature are among the class' prime interests Sophomores entirely composed the Webster debting team and two men represented the class on the Irving team. One of the Philomathean essayists for this year comes from among our group. The sophomores have been called upon several times to help the upper- classmen in their dramatic productions. If the success that some of our actors have achieved this year continues. they may become famous. The colorful "Rose Chain" procession in the May Day celebration was formed entirely by sophomore girls. In every phase of the entertainment our members were found. Our class has tried to adhere to Western Maryland's traditions by having the "Lantern Chain," by making the "rats" know their place, by participating in class color fights, and by entertaining the school at Hallowe'en time. Now, we are all looking forward to next year when we shall be "Jolly Juniors" and are hoping to continue the good spirit and friendship which we have cherished during our first two years on College Hill.
