OFFICERS OF THE CLASS OF 1912 THOMAS W. JOHNSTON President WILLIAINI P. VON LEVERN Vice-President MABLE MOORE Secretary- Treasurer In a few short months, the curtain will have fallen upon the glorious Class of 1912. We have spent our six years here in somewhat the same way as other classes, but in many respects we have been unique. It is said that in the autumn of 'Oo the most promising class entered. VVe were fully aware of our importance, though the upper classmen failed to recognize us. CW'e could appreciate the fact that the reason they saw through and past us, was that they could not distinguish us from the verdure of the campus.l The arrogant Sophomores were jealous of our superior qualities and in vain sought to humble us through frequent visits to the cactus and shoeless parades in Chapel. The next fall we were truly important. Think of our responsibilities! The horde of savages in the Freshman class must be subdued and schooled in Bradley etiquette. Our men, with trousers rolled a notch higher, soon affected the proper Sophomore swagger and donned contrasty clothes. Our girls acquired the latest fads without the slightest effort.
