Sophomores Become "Ladies for o Day" on March 3 in Observance of the
Traditional "Soph Day Off"
The sophomores were “Ladles for a
Day” on the Meredith campus March
third, when they observed the tradi
tional Hoiih Day Off. According to cus
tom green stockings were very much
in evidence when every sophomore
appeared Saturday morning In a white
dress and green stockings. Activities
for the day began before the rising bell
when the sophomores bombarded the
[reshnmu dormitory in a successful
attempt to rout their charges from
beil. Through various means the fresh
men were given to understand what
things were expected from them during
the day and one of the first reciulre-
ments was that they were to bow at the
sight of green stockings. Also, they
were not to appear on the campus dur
ing the morning without a hat. they
were to carry their books to class In a
pollow case, and were to carry books
for sophomores whenever so requested,
A visitor on the campus would have
probably stood still and wondered had
she witnessed a group of fifteen or
twenty freshmen strolling across the
court toward the class buildings, wear
ing hats, and carrying their books
slung across their backs in pillow
cases. Suddenly, a pair of green stock
ings appeared on the landscape and
without hesitancy, the entire group
dropped on their knees,
Perhaps amused would not exactly
describe the feeling one would have
experienced had she peeped In on a
freshman class during the morning
and seen the submissive maids seated
on class, still wearing their hats and
holding on their laps pillow cases of
books.
The hats were not dotfed even for
meals and there was quite a bit of
amusement In the dining hall when all
the sophomores at one table rose from
their places, walked the length of the
Iiall, and calmly requested one of the
freshmen to put on a hat that had
been removed.
And tlien there Is the story of the
So)>homore who carried a dictionary
and an out-of-date history book to class
all day for the sole purpose of fur
nishing books for freshmen to carry.
The sophomores cliose this day lo
sing for tlie first time their class song
wlilch was recently written by mem
bers of the ch\ss,
Tlie crowning event of Die activities
was tlie Meredith-State-Wake Forest
party in the evening, and the sopho
mores ended Ihelr day's program by
serenading their class president about
midnight Saturday night.
