Chapter IX History of the Class of 1912 1. Introduction-This book treats of the history of the Class of 1912, a well-known and very famous tribe of people, belonging to that mul- titudinous race called Students. As there are no extant records of this wonderful race prior to the year 1908, this history cannot, of necessity, date back farther than that year. Since that time they have passed through four stages of advancement, known as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. 2. Period of Pr0greSS-As one of the above mentioned tribe,I will state that wonderful things have been accomplished under the great difficulties which have been encountered. The main achievement of the first stage of development, the Freshman year, was the acquiring of a slight idea of what Latin, English and Algebra were like. The faculty predicted a bright future for us all. Latin was devoured with great zeal, which greatly pleased our instructor, Miss Wiggin. And we shall never forget that first year of English. Oh, the compositions We had to write! It seemed as if the whole race depended on us for expression. 3. One Great Scholar-Among all the great men of this age Sir Forrester Anderson stood preeminent. He will always be remembered for his accomplishments in the field of Latin. He won his wide-spread fame by the conjugation of the verb amo. 4. First Election of the Tribe-One rainy day in the early fall, a typical election day, this tribe had their first election. The results were as follows: President, Lelia Moss, Secretary, Pearl Andreg Treasurer, Nellie Barry. 5. Rapid Advancement-By June in the year 1908, great progress had been made and the class was looking forward to the coming year as a very prosperous one. 6. The Second Era-On September 7, 1909, according to the reg- ulations of the schools, the class assembled to begin its second stage of development, that of Sophomores. But it was rather a sad gathering for, upon calling the roll, many of our honored chiefs had left, never to re- turn. However, there were several new members, so we all felt happier. New Member-Later in the year a small member, but one who proved to be important, entered this noteworthy class. She said her name was Mary LaMonte, but people called her Mae LaMonte, She was always a great help in the time of need. 24
