WHAT IS A SOPHOMORE? The first requirement of the typical sophomore is that he be a sap. This, the first three letters in his name, by changing the “o” to “a” shows. The second requirement that he must meet is that he must have a sense of humor, shown by the “ho,” a laughing expres sion in the middle of his name. All girl sophs must sew, which is shown by the “so,” in the front of their name; while all boys must learn to mow the lawn and sing, shown, respectively, by the “mo” and “re,” a note of the scale, which appears in their name. Finally, there is,—but no, there are no more re quirements, as the last four letters of the sophomore show that that is the end. ' : : ; ■ ' : \ \ |:l |u; 11 h'l
