19 Sophomore Scribbles 1916-17 17 0 CTOBER—School today as usual. Evening came apace and "Old Sol" crawled under the covers of his woolly western bed, as if to say,"Now the day is done." He oughta stuck around,for he sure missed the fun,Junior- Senior spread was noised abroad. Having located the place of the spread ata Xenia avenue mansion,some of usclimbed through a rear window and interrupt- ed largish Senior and two elderly damsels cooking wieners. They slammed the dining room door in their retreat. Guess they thought it was the Kaiser! We then withdrew to the front yard. Received a hot and cold water bath; also soft tomato for eye-brow shampoo. Auto raid concluded the episode, and so to bed. Successfully flunked in studies next day, much to the surprise of the Profs.

Nothing but hard grinding from this on, to make up for what we didn't do before the holidays. As exams approach the Profs. wear a fierce aspect and the students a more worried look. Hope for the best! If we all pull through we'll celebrate with an- other spread. FEBRUARY—We have all received our grades and have made out our schedules for another semester's work.

Why caret they follow in our foot-steps and keep out of trouble? MARCH—Who said our class has lost its pep? Just because we are so industrious and always have our lessons so well prepared is no sign that we don't like a l ittle fun. We had another spread the other night. Some more eats! Say if you don't think our Sophomore girls can cook, you ought to come and see (that is, provi ding you were invited, for it wouldn't be healthy for you otherwise.) What do you think? The editor said we had to cut this thing short, butI can scarcely quit until I present to you a poem selected from the Sophomore scrap- book entitled, 36
