SCRAP DAY

FROSH VS. SOPH

On next Wednesday, Freshmen and Sophomores will decide for all time the supremacy of the two classes. The reg· ular program of Scrap Day activities as arranged and supervised by those in charge gives each class a fair chance to reveal its ability to demonstra te its superiority.

Scrap Day is an innovation that de· serves to become a tradition about Otterbein. It should , as intended , supplant the petty contentions and unpleasant hostilities that have sometimes marked class rivalry throughout the entire year. With this recognized and regulated means of expression of class spirit, there is no longer any excuse for the type of "high-brow" antics that have been staged under th e gu ise of class loyalty. Let it be said that Otter-· bein has out grown such tactics and has come to respect the dignity of class functions.

Then let's all unite in observing Scrap Dav Let's put all the interest and enthusiasm of our class sp irit into t he contests of this day, and t ight with a will for the glory of our class But when it is ove r let's abide by the verdict of the day and show ourselves true "sports" whether winners m losers.
