".ml a/-A.,," STRONG. brave, and resclute-+we, the class of 1938, on September 25, 1934, enrolled as students of Western Maryland College. We were freshmen, and we were romantic. College would be a glorious adventure, and each of us would be a hero or a heroine We felt during those first few days of orientation that we were the most important part of the college. Everybody looked at us, and everybody gave us advice. The faculty advised us to study. The heads of student organizations advised us to participate in exue-curricular activities. The sophomores advised us to buy our books second-bend The sober work began. Automatically, we then became oriented. The boys. some of them, went OUt for football and the girls well, some of them went out for boys. The weaker sex watched the strongt':f being "ratted" and felt secretly that they were getting oR" easy, In our dreams we were haunted by yellow paper or even more disturbing elements, The sophomores gave us a Hallowe'en party, We thought that the sophomores weren't so bad after all. The juniors gave us a Christmas party, We liked the juniors. We went home for the Chrinmas holidays with a conscious swagger. We were (olle,e boys and girls. We came tack to winter sportS and winter work, Spring came. We got spring (ever. We longed for June At last we had our Lantern Chain. We saw the seniors' graduation exercises. We went home with a year of college behind us. In 1'135 we returned as sephcmcres. We were no longer outwardly conscious of being strong. brave and resolute. Responsibility is nor to be spoken o( by sophomores. We paid off old scores. The freshmen suffered We secretly sympathized with them, but said nothing, Sophomores are hard-boiled. 76
