THE SOPHOMORE CLASS

tea-spoon. Others of the officers
were real men. But the spirit of the
school then was not the A. and M.
spirit. It was not until after Chirst-
mas, when the S. A. T. C. men were
discharged, that the college life took
up its usual course. Even then the
disruption caused by the war was so
far-reaching in its influence that, for
a time, it seemed as if the old pep
would never come back. What every
the fish considered a very unwise ac
tion was carried out by quartering the
Sophomores in Goodwin and Bizzell.
We knew then, as we know now, that
the Sophomore class has more to do
with the building up of the charac
teristic A. and M. spirit than any
other class. However, the Junior
Banquet came and, breaking all the
restrictions, both Sophomores and
Fish cut loose with the old pep. The
Fish were especially annoying with
their flags and slides at the picture
show and terrible were the threats
hurled at us. But it proved to be the
awakening of A. and M., and from
then on the old spirit gradually came
back.
Last fall we entered as Sophomores
and within a month had gathered a
reputation of the hardest hitting
class in years. But we were deter
mined to make our part go—and we
did. The wonderful year we have
had in athletics has found its sequence
in the best college spirit that has been
here in years. The fish have enough
pep to made working on them inter
esting. The whole atmosphere of the
place is progressive. And we claim
a large part in making it so. As a
class this year we have shown, we
believe, remarkable unity of purpose
and action. The men who directed
the fight against the Juniors know
that the energy and loyalty and de
pendability of the Sophomores as in
dividuals wer the best in the world.
We do not take to ourselves pride,
but we feel that the spirit and ability
and power of the Sophomore class, as
a whole and individually, can not be
beaten. It is for us to hold it and
increase it in the two years before
us, when we shall assumed places of
responsibility in the College.
