HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1912 Four years have past-long and laborious ones they have seemed when in the Fall of 1908 our class entered the portals of good, old Albright. But, now as we ap- proach the day of Commencement and gaze out upon the large vista of life in the future, we feel that these college years have been all too short. The Seniors have had their joys and their sorrows during these four years and now as we are about to finish our school life it is with a sigh of regret that we record the last history of the class of 1912. And what a history this class has had. From the time we reached Albright until now we have been busy doing deeds which will mark 1912 as a memorable class in college history. When we were Freshmen we valiantly contended with the Sophs and bravely held our own at the Flag Scrap and the Banquet. When we were Sopho- mores we gave the Freshmen strenuous exercise throughout the year and added their grand rag to our collection of trophies. After our Sophomore year we no longer participated in class scraps, but turned our attention to the cultivation of such dignity and stateliness as is'beHtting upper-classmen. Occasionally, however, our old love of mischief would betray itself and we would engage in some merry pranks and then become again the dignified Juniors. So our Junior year passed away and we entered upon the last term of our college life. Senior orations and theses loomed dark upon our horizon and we set to work in dead earnest.. We became serious-eyed and thought- ful and devoted ourselves to those tasks which must be accomplished before we could win the coveted sheep-skin. Now the end is soon at hand-a few more weeks and we can don cap and go-wn and receive the diplomas we have striven so long to secure. As we View the past we believe that in spite of the many failures we have made, we have brought lustre to the name of Albright and honor to our class. bday the year of 1912 be a bright spot in Albright's history, and may the class be ever true to her Alma lblater and herself. Though far away we will never cease to honor and revere the college we so love. To others we consign the task of upholding her fair name as we have endeavored to do, during our course. And, though we as a class will separate and allow others to occupy the place we now enjoy Still will our hearts in memory cling To those college days of long agof' ALFRED lX'lILLARD KUDER, Historian.
