Smith vice-president, Miss En-gleman treasurer, Miss Crowder secretary, Mr. Smith artist, Mr. Lahr editor, and Miss Mc-Cammel chairman of the program committee. At the meeting in the spring term much interest was shown and the class represented by about six hundred members, elected Mr. FredClements president, Miss Engleman vice-president, Miss Kruger secretary, Mr. Stoltz treasurer, Mr. French Clements athletic captain, Mr. Cunningham artist, and Mr. Martin editor.Two meetings have been held and a large number present. Mr. Bacon gave a very interesting talk on the subject of The Mountaineers of the Blue Ridge. It was also agreed tohave a banquet the last Friday of the term. So the Sophomore class will close the yearwith a general good time, and hope that the class next year can slip in and fill its place.College Course JgotesfT N the June number of the Advance of 1912, the College Course promised it would■*■ improve its athletic standing in the school for the next year. This is not to be anathletic write-up, but we cannot refrain from mentioning some of the things that we havedone this year. In the first Annual Cider Meet of the State Normal during the fallterm, the College Course came second with 31 points to the Seniors 33, and in the inter-classbasketball, the College Course was the only class with a percentage of 1,000. When weconsider that the year before we were last in everything, we think we have duly kept ourpromise.However, athletics has not been our only pursuit. In class meetings and in social functions, the College Course has kept the lead of the whole school. When it comes to novel andinteresting entertainments we have not only kept the lead, but have kept the other classesguessing as to what we would have next. There has been no meeting of the CollegeCourse during the entire year, but what eats have been served. This is a record that noother class in school can equal. We are also the only class that has had a class picnic.This was held at Forest Park in early spring, and, although rather lonesome on accountof all the trees leaving (leafing), it was a very enjoyable affair. The most remarkablefeature was that Lee Brinton was able to fatten up after a years teaching.The College Course is steadily growing in numbers. The time was, when the majority of the College Course students were Normal course graduates. Although this is trueto a large extent yet, there are also many more high school graduates entering the CollegeCourse now than formerly.Our prophecy for the future of the College Course is that they will not only steadilygrow, but will, indeed, become the largest course in the school, and as such will have to bedivided into the four classes, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors, and the NormalCourse will be thrown together as one body.
