History of the Class of l9l 2 The time is fast approaching when the class of 1912 will be but a memorvg a memory which we shall never forget and one which we will always think of with pride. It has often been said that 'history repeats itself, but we doubt if any other class will leave the record that we are leaving. VVhen, on the morning of September 5, 1909, the Juniors assembled in the Chapel, if the word green', can be justly applied to Junior classes, we must have been one of the greenest that ever entered the Normal School. However, we are justly proud of this factg for it only shows our ability to improve. Those were happy days. Every one of them was filled with new experiences, and each small event held a wealth of pleas- ure for us. We were many in number but one when there was any question as to class action. Together we Stood along the sidelines while our football team won glory for us, and together we cheered our basket ball and baseball teams on to victory. Then, in the fall of 1910, we took upon ourselves the responsibilities of the Middle Year. Mingled with the work of hard schedules were the various pleasures, like milestones, marking the way. VVe remember with pleasu1'e our jolly Hallowelen party and Thanksgiving feast. Then, in February came the Middle-Senior banquet which will be long remembered by the members of both classes. The next' event of importance, which was near the close of the school year, was the play A Dollls Housev given by the Bryant Literary Society. The remainder of the school year was spent in hard study and much reviewing in preparation for that dreaded day when State Board would be with us. Our labors were not in vain and happy were we, when, near the sol- emn midnight hour, it was announced that the class of 1912 would not need to mourn the loss of any of its members. U Now we are Seniors. VV e have enjoyed the reception to which only those who bare the title, Senior, were admitted, the banquet at which we were the guests of the Middlersg but most of our activities have been con- fined to the imbibing of knowledge. And now as we look forward, since there are but a few weeks till the time when our days as students of Slippery Rock, will end, a feeling of sadness fills our hearts. Just one more sten and we shall start out into the great field of life, where each must struggle for himself with the problems of his chosen line of work. As we lay down our tasks within the halls of Slippery Rock to grapple with those of a larger and sterner world, it is our hope that each one of us may do his best that hc may be worthy of membership in thc class of 1912.
