WILY SOPHS WOULD
ENSNARE FRESHIES
Second Year Men Collect Clues
and Concoct Schemes to Check
Fresh Banqueters.
Followinsg their usual custom, the sopi-
osuore class claisss to lave the fresh-
sn baasquet at its mercy. Te sophs
eo snt deny' that the freshsmasn baqupet
will take place as ussta butt it is their
firm convictions that o freshmesn of
impotacee-bie he toassmaster er cott-
mitteemn, will participate is the fes-
tisities util he has stffered te to-
ments that experiesce has taught te
secontd year mten. If such is the case,
this year's crop of sopis will prove a
notahle exceptioss to the geseral rule,
Geseraly, quasstity and tet quality has
hers she result of their efforts.
Monday afternoons saw the first step
towards organised actiont y te sophs,
swhest every seutht of that class attesd-
ed a meeintg. Several memsers of the
class whets asked what had eest dote
at their smeeing were exceedingly re-
ticent concerning any actiosstat mightt
have heess takess. No ose cared to ad-
suit that he knew' the date of the la-
quet, though several admitted that sev-
eral memhers of the weaker sex had so
far forgot themselves as to reveal the
desired informatiotn.
There seems to le a difference of
opisiosn regardisng the idestity of thee
freshmuan toastmaster. On this poist
the class "dope artists" seens to e
divided. Massy caism that "Bo" Scottest
is the mast to le watched while others
are equally sure that "eel" Dougherty
is tse chosen ose. Who the geseral
chairsuan is, has also aroused muds dis-
cussioss amosag secosd year sme. A
soph seuh in a mosment of forgetful-
nss staled that either Ed Hasscock or
"Shorty" MacMillasa hed tis appoist-
muent.
"We're sot sure right ow," said he
"hut we'll find out efore the asquet.
If we dosst, why we'll take oths of them
just to he sure."
Asother soph when interviewed dis-
played tse true spirit of his class.
"Why we have it cold," he said. "Just
wait and you'll see. We have the nasmes
uf every toast and comtmitteematn. The
ashy osse we won't get will e the Delta
Gammna girl We know who she is."
Further questioning hrought out te
fact that the sophs have aout decided
that Monday, March 14, is the date of
the asnquet.
"Sure, that's the date. Four out of
towns girls haee given the whole thisg
away."
