EXTKA!! KXTRAI! EXTKAI!
The above oxtrna arc put in order
that it won’t escape your attention
that this is an expedition seeking
to establish a new trudition. It is
also for the prevention of the ex
termination of that deterniinutiou
by which the Jfowish are, with pro
hibition und deliberation on the
purt3 of the Sophs, led to an elinii-
nafion of all that which i.>i un-
becoming in Freshmen, and u c;on-
•ervHtion of all that which is. ’Tcn-
shun!! After premeditation, we
make u presentation to yon of the
first Sophomore edition of The
Twiu. And now, with our best
bow, wo retire from these pages,
and give the rest of the space, with
our best wishes, to the class of ’2S.
FUO.n THK SOPHS
Junior—Well, little sister, how did
you find the Initiation?
Kreslimjin—Didn't have to And it. I
jusl sioopr;d over and there it was.
There was a i''re.sh lu ColleKe ones'
Who was so very bright
She coulfln’t get it darlf enough
To go to sleep at night.
But when “Soph night” cume
She changed her mind
.\nd cried, “Turn on all the llKhts.”
The Literary Department of this
publication suggests that you read “My
Trip Through the Subterranean
Channel," from the memories of a
"Trnveling Freshman."
J’lrst Soph—What’s the end of a
Perfect Day?
Second Soph—A Perfect Night.
Great Kvent the sage ''Soph Night."
.Vlaggie Arnette doing the Charles
ton.
Junior—Why the bandage around
your head?
Freshman—Sophomore poster caught
my eye.
'Tls said “The evil that men do lives
after them, the good Is often interred
with their bones.”
“I wonder that some Sophomores
are Btiil alive.”
SOPHOMORE SONGS
TO >RESHSIEN
I TUNE OF FIVE FOOT TWO)
Lots of |>ep,
Watcb us step.
We’re the girls you can’t I'orget;
We’re the Sophomores of '28.
We will work,
Like a Turk,
.\'ever let the frcshles shirk.
For this Is ‘28’s own day.
Rls(' up now, ’2S),
Anti always keep in mind.
We will win, what we begin
Let the freshies know the worst.
We'll ilo our best, you tlie rest,
On this day to stand your test.
We’re the Sophomores of '28.
— ’28 —
Oh, Freshmen, here you are.
In all your greenery.
Just untied from your mother’s apron
strings.
And we, the Sophomores, in all our
glory,
Are just now ready to begin our fun.
— ’28 —
(TUNE OF FRESHIE)
There’s a girl who doesn’t know just
who she is or wiiy.
She’s a dumb one, thinks she's some
one,
But to us she's pie.
Site’s the Freshman, the lowly, llrst
year Freshman,
But we pity little she.
For she could never see—
Ciiouus
Why do we all pick on Preshie?
She’s u nut. nothing but
The Juniors hang around her.
Why lo we all pick on Freshle,
At every meal she’s a course,
Site’s just the apple sauce,
We'll 'raae her, and daze her,
No matter what she does. It will not
phase her,
So, why do we all call her Pre.slile?
Becau.se she ain't what she is.
And ian'l icTm/ she was!
— ’28 —
(TUNE OF OH MABEL)
'N'ealh your window we are waiting.
Oh. you Fresh ie! oh, you Fresh ie.
Come otit and greet us.
’Tls time by now you knew your
rating.
Oh, you Freshle, oh you newish green.
You’re scared so bad you'vo lost
your sense.
And all you’ve ever had.
Your sisters true of course have been
so very nice to you,
The Sophomores they are coming for
you,
1 Look out Freshle, look out Frcshie
now!
— '28 —
(TUNE OF O SOLE MIO)
Nobody loves you, not a single bit,
But that don't matter and we won’t
quit.
W(' love ourselves, and that’s enough.
You bet your life, girls.
We know our stuff.
— ’28 —
(TUNE OF TURKEY IN THE
STRAW.)
Oh. you greenish Freshmen, Junior’s
pets.
We, the Sophs, are right here yet;
F'or we need some fun.
College does a Freshman good,
A Sophomore does her better.
Once upon a time Freshmen
thought they were educated. (Note—
They still are if they meet the right
girl.)
To a Freshman every question has
Just two sides. Her first opinion and
the one when she changed her mind.
And we’ll make you run,
HI, ho, ho, for the rough tough Sophs.
Cotne on. Sophomores, give us u call.
Junior’s pets are bound to fall.
With u rah—rah. loo and a toot,
tout, too,
’28, 2t>. yes we’re for you.
~’2S —
(TUNE OF MY JvlD)
We call her .\la’s kUl,
Just hufatise .she wants to leave here,
Th;it'b all she thinks about.
We’ll tell the world she's iMa’s kid.
And when the Sophs are not around
her,
She’s just as gay as can be.
Bui when we come a-roamlng in the
gloanting.
We meet her with a grin,
“Hello, newish, hello, greenish,"
That's when our fun begins.
Aitd when old ’28 gels tlTrough.
Young '29 won’t be the same.
Oh, yes rontetnber, bear iu mind
That she won’t be just Ma’s kid.
