Is Jones coming for commencement week? Yes, he ' ll be here tomorrow for the ' 12s exercises. He was here at school three years ago, and entered with the ' 12s. I ' m gojng to show him around and introduce him to all his old friends. Don ' t suppose he ' ll know them all after being away for three years. You know, students do change here from the time they enter school till they graduate. I ' ve seen some of the biggest rubes come up here and by the time they graduate their own mother wouldn ' t know them, if she hadn ' t seen them for four years. Why, there ' s — oh, gee! there ' s the bell, and I ' ll have to go. I ' ll see you at the exercises tomorrow. College hall was filled when Clark and his friend Jones came in. All the ' 12s H. S. were seated on the rostrum. The Pres- ident arose and began his flowery address. Say, Clark, who ' s that? Well, Jones, I thought you ' d remember Briant Stringham. He ' s the President of the class and one of the classy fellows of the school. Come, now, you don ' t mean that that ' s Bri Stringham. Why, I used to know him when he first came to school. He had a big baby face and couldn ' t talk about anything but sheep. His 5 5 arms used to swing a foot out of his coat sleeves, and his trou- sers were high water style. Oh, say, and he used to wear a big red tie and a blue shirt. He certainly has straightened out to graduate President of his class. Who did you say the Vice-President was? Lottie Gibson. Um, her — Well — a form more fair, a face more sweet, never hath it been my lot to meet. Since I saw her before. The first day she came to school, I won ' t forget soon. She had a big flat bow of pink ribbon that covered the back of her head, and a bright red dress, just below her knees, and you know that innocent look in her baby blue eyes and her loving smile. She had a catalogue in her hand and an entrance card in the other, hunting for the Dean of the College. Is that a Prep among the Fourth Years? Fred Taylor? Well, he hasn ' t improved the race much in size. He used to be the mascot for the First Years. Suppose he is as enthusiastic about yellow headed girls as ever. Had to have a contrast, he said. Say, that ' s a swell girl at the piano. She must have entered since I left. Merline Roylance ! Well, that ' s not so hard to believe as the rest. We all said she would make a musician when she used to dance the barn dance on the pavement on the way to school and be late for English. That ' s Erma Fletcher over there, and Elfie Bean. They had to get some one to write jokes about them and get them printed in the White and Blue, so they would become popular with the basket ball boys. You know all the girls are foolish over the basket ball boys. I guess it ' s their uniforms. I was at a picture show the other night and heard a ' 12 girl say: ' Oh, those dear soldiers; I don ' t blame a girl for falling in love with them ; they have such cute uniforms. Who ' s that rosy cheeked boy? Well, that doesn ' t look like Clarence Woods to me. He was a mate for Bri Stringham when he entered school. Clarence didn ' t need shortening and he had a pair of socks his mother knit striped with red and green. He always liked the girls and thought he would make a good domestic science teacher. He used to carry the dishes for them, fix tables, wash dishes, until Miss Ward thought he was about the handiest boy in school. If we ever had any punch at the parties he had to dip. From the bunch of girls he ' s sitting among, I should judge he was still dippy. I guess you remember Hazel Macdonald? Well, I guess yes; she will never be whiter when she is dead than she was the day she entered this school. You know she was just a little seedy country kid — never had been away from her mother before. After registering for one and a half units, told President Brimhall she did not care to take devotional be- cause she had such a heavy course already. After paying her tuition she went up to Janitor Higgs, showed him her admit card and asked where in the building she would find the number of her room — 560. Who ' s that fellow on the end of the first row? I should think you would remember that Chancy Baird. I thought I would, too, but wonders will happen. Chancy and I entered school the same day. I run on to him in the hall with his hat held fast in both hands. We were both frightened to death, and decided to hunt the President ' s office together. I grabbed hold of his hand and we went in. President Brim- hall looked us over from under his spectacles and said, ' Well, young men, what do you want to take? ' ' Theology, please, ' said Chance. President Brimhall has con- sidered him a good boy ever since. Klgbt fi etrosipeaion in 1916 The Twelve !■ a man who worked for years to get hours, and then «elt weak (or days and was In a daze for weeks. He represented a new species in natural history. In as much as he was a goat w lth a sheep ' s skin. And unhappily, In Jast such proportion as he failed to qualify for the sheepskin, the more certain he was to qualify for the Koat. The Twelve worked for what he grot, but he didn ' t always get what he worked for. It depended on what the Faculty thought, and heaven knows what they depended on for their thinking:. The 12 w ent out Into the cruel world, and he left behind him his grlrl and his creditors. The former promised to write often, and the latter kept the promise. Somebody else usually kept the grlrl. He found that the unappreclative world turned its back on him, and he was left to shift for himself. His treasured acacomplishments of student days, ranging; from the basket ball squad to the dancing club or the debating team, seemed scarcely to supply him with those credentials which are sought by grrouchy employers of labor. Before the 12 graduated, he was worried as to whether to accept the position of a bank cashier or a district attorney, but no such problems ever disturb him after he departed from his Alma Mater. His chief worry then was that he couldr ' t get a good job shoveling snow in July or August. And yet, after all, it was a grreat four years. The 12 can afford to be retrospec- tive. A crusade against slang has been Instituted In the University. This Is a plons Idea, as studes too easily slip into the habit of handing out a punk line of gruff, and If the profs would put the roughnecks wise they would cut it out in no time. Take any bunch of college yaps — they are sent to college to get a little horse sense in their beans. But when they bunch up, the langruage they use is enough to make whiskers grow on the bald head of intellectual progress. tesJ Cl)ronolosj The 12 ' s High School class organized. Harry Phillips, President, and Elfie Bean, Vice-President, supported by an enthusiastic staff and ZbO members. The ll ' s challenged the 12 ' s for a tug of war across the mill race. They acknowledged their ducking by entertaining their victors at a grand ball, in the evening. The first number of that series of parties which have caused the school life of every 12 to be filled with joy, held in the old social hall. Ve c nd e°i ion of the 12 ' s H. S. gave the following results: President, Ray Fitzgerald; First Vice, Elfie Bean; Second Vice, Bernard Nash. ' ' Th? 2 ' i ??iTied the day in field and track.

BRIMALL President Brimhall has indeed been a FRIEND and FATHER to us during the few brief but happy years that he has been our guide and inspiration thru High School. As we have endeav- ored to cUmb a Httle higher up the scale of intelligence and culture he has always freely given us counsel that we could not have received from any other source. We feel that we shall always be deeply indebted to him for the spiritual and intel- lectual gems that he has strewn in our lives. It is our sincere prayer that thru his coming years he may have that greatest of all joys which comes from realizing that he has been a BENEFACTOR to his fellowmen. ©i)os;e Wo Wf om Wt (©be iWucf) To our teachers who have helped and encouraged us to make the best use of our opportunities while at school. Your influence, dear teachers, has made us realize the necessity of an aim in life. We have been made to feel with the poet, Live for something, have a purpose. And that purpose keep in view. Sailing like a helmless vessel, Thou canst ne ' er to self be true, Half the wrecks that strew life ' s ocean. If a star had been their guide Might have now been rowing safely. But they drifted with the tide. May we as members of the class of 1912 H. S. show our sincere gratitude and appreciation to you our worthy teachers for your earnest, untiring efforts, by endeavoring to bless humanity as we go through life with that which you have so nobly helped us to gain. ©i) i rabuate The gentle rays of springtime ' s sun Fall on his tired but happy brow. He knows at last the goal is won — Hard was the fight; what cares he now, The weary years of toil are o ' er, And labor done, if sacrifice Of days that shall return no more. While comrades followed mid-night joys, He has tiresome texts prepared; Not tempted he to join the boys; No passing gain his heart ensnared — But now, his credits all complete, He holds that document so rare; With blissful heart he waits to greet The friends whose kindness placed him there- The coming of those friends he waits Whom God and Nature make most dear; And he their joy anticipates On hearing of their son ' s career. This is the springtime of his life! This is his Commencement Day! The years of never ceasing strife Have, like the winter, passed away. He stands beneath a sky most blue, The songs of birds fall en his ears, And meditations deep review The histories of bygone years. He dreams of papers oft returned With B ' s where he expected A ' s; Remembers how his proud heart yearned For just one kindly word of praise; For he is not a genius who, Like lightning through the stormy skies, Glitters once a brilliant hue And, with that flash, forever dies — In his early life surpassed His classmates and reached marvelous fame Of short duration that did last Scarce longer than the drummer ' s game Of love, which ends the day begun: No, he is like that light which breaks With patience the dark clouds, the sun — That great celestial fire which makes The whole earth glow with wondrous light: Through opposition he has fought, By constant labor day and night. Until at last his pains have brought The long contended prize — success; While they, who brighter far than he, Have been through their own carelessness Lost in that great and unknown sea Of failure, where the whitened bones Of many a gallant sailor lay Who lacked the courage to go on. Thus passed the months of school away. And summer came when they were gone Sweet summer that vacation brings To weary students, days of rest. In woodlands green where the wild bird sings They seek the life they love the best. Did he, dismissing all his care, Enjcy these pleasures with his friends? Did he the useless pastimes share To which our folly ever tends? Ah, no! indulgence in those joys. For which his heart no doubt did long. He did refrain, and left the boys To glory in their happy song. And on the lonely deserts drear. Where coyotes give their mid-night yell. And serpents vile are ever near. And life seems little more than hell — He watched the sheep both night and morn,- And listened to their mocking call. Until it seemed those baas forlorn Were echoed from the mountains all; Or, in the tunnels of mines dark, Where soft daylight is never known; By flickering candle he did work To dig out riches not his own; Else perchance his better fate The duties of a clerk him gave, To smile, and with false patience wait While ladies planned a cent to save; He may have had a farmer ' s hire. And through the hot day drove the team — No matter what he did, ' tis sure He worked, that when the autumn came. He might return to school once more — He worked to gain a worthy name — He worked to please his parents poor. Thus he stands and meditates On this the day of his success. While for those loved ones he waits — Waits for a mother ' s fond caress. Well earned, this pleasure, my brave youth! Enjoy the bliss thy toil has made. ' Tis ever, when we fight for truth, That fate will see us well re-paid. These are the hardships memory brings In grand procession ' fore his eyes; But are there not some happy things? Did not his school bring else, but sighs? Why, yes, of course, most joyous hours Were spent within the dear old walls — He dreams of dances, shows, and showers, Theaters grand, and basket balls. Athletics, how his class excelled. Of trips, and parties by the score. Of sweethearts fair whose eyes compelled His heart to love — all these, and more, Have filled his college days with fun: And now, he comes to say good-by, He fain would wish them just begun. And leaves his class-room with a sigh. — Flossia. Leon Billings, Salt Lake City Hattie Walker. ProTO Briant H. Stringham, Vernal At last the time has eoine for saying- go d-I)je to tlie dear old B. Y. U. High School and to tlie many friends tliat ve lia e learned to love. W e are loath to leave the happy home vhere four of the happiest years of our lives have heen spent, still we are moving on to higher things and making room for those v ' ho are to follow. True, there is a sense of sorro v in the reflection that many of us have come to the parting of the ways to meet no more until in that Great Beyond, yet joy fills our hearts for having known these many stalwart souls, and even though we may never meet again our friendships will live on forever, and will always be a source of inspiration to our lives. As class president I have found my duties a pleasure. Never was there such a class of real supporters. I have learned to love the many big souls that it has been my good fortune to come in contact with, and I only regret that we can- not continue to live the same united family we now are. Now, fellow classmates, we are going out to represent world wide our dear old Alma Mater, which has won international fame as a character builder. We MUST hold up the family name of the school by doing carefully and faithfully our whole life ' s work. Let every act be fathered by a righteous purpose. Our greatness will lie in our goodness. We MUST value our chsiractiTs. We MUST have a keen sense of honor. We MUST be honest, upright, and straight for- ward. We MUST be mindful of duty, not allured by show. Show paints the hypocrate ' s face and wags the liar ' s tongue. Graduates from God ' s school, pre- sided over by God ' s servants, must do all these things and more to represent aright our Church, the Board of Education, the Faculty, and the Presidency In their true light. ' TVliat must I do to be forever known? ' Thy duty ever. B. H. S. Seventeen y dHe. ws Nineteen Hiram Clark, Provo II i jl ' , ' i I Twenty Twenty.one I Twenty-two M I T i ' W T ? W W ' ; Wm. D.

(June is called Ellen.) On her arrival she discovers that Mrs. Ford is the sister of her old sweetheart, Robert Shephard, who promises to keep the secret. Dorothy Marck, a guest of Mrs. Ford, is engaged to Max Ten Eych, a chum of Robert ' s, the result of an inducement of a rich aunt. June and Max had also previously known each other. After some association and misunderstanding between the two couples, it finally resulted in the elopement of Ellen. (June and Rob.) CAST OF CHARACTERS. Richard Ford (a devoted husband) Joseph Wootten (Jay) Molly (his wife) Valentine Larson ( Val) Robert Shepard (Molly ' s brother) Samuel Bleak (Sam) Dorothy Marck (guest) Elfie Bean (Dot) June Haverhill (Wellesley ' 06, investigating for economic course) Stella Olson (Tillie) John Hume (Rector of St. Agnes) DeVere Child (Shortie) These noble characters have put forth their best efforts to make our little play a success, and it certainly has proven such. They have been under the direction of Mrs. Freda B. Cluff, a well qualified trainer, and their enthusiastic manager, Clarence J. Woods. How could it help being a success? Those who were fortunate enough and who thoroughly enjoyed this production from the ' 12s H. S. class were the people of Benjamin, Alpine, Heber, Provo Third Ward and the B. Y. University. Seventy-six oasfts! to tfie Clasig hy de Clasis! Here ' s to the class of 1912; ' Tis one of firm foundation. May other classes learn to delve, To gain such a reputation.

Here ' s to the class that plans things Builds things— makes things; That prates not of classes of old. Nor of achievements bold; But puts down its books and takes hold And does things. Brlant Stringham. Normal and High School. Here ' s to our colors so noble, The dear and true Blue and White; Which we students have cherished and honored, Which has guided us on through the fight. Bri Here ' s to our head, the President, The Worker, the Winner— all three. As successful as in his school work May his life ' s path always be.

Second in order, but not in degree. Comes a lady of noted renown. Though the town, the state, or the world be searched, Better vice president could never be found. Then here ' s to Miss Gibson, a lady of fame. In the future hats doffed, boys, when you hear her name. It may be said of Miss Gibson that she has a smile for every joy, a tear for every sorrow, a consolation for every grief, an excuse for every fault, a prayer for every misfortune, and an encouragement for every (boy) hope. Chance Chauncey Baird. Of bad things past he never heeds, Nor ills that are a century old. He puts his wits to present needs (sidestepping ' 13s) And what the future shall unfold. Rummy Hyrum Clark.

Joseph Woot- ten and Le Grande Hardy met in the hall and were dreamily discussing their success in winning favors from the fairer sex. Finally Jay spoke up with an air of self-appreciation : Fellows, I ' m tired of chasing around all night and feeling tough all next day! Now you ' re talking, boys! Now you have said something! put in Higgs, who was standing near. Coming nearer, he con- tinued: How old are you kids, an5rway? You ' re not old enough to quit wearing short pants yet, and talking of getting married. We ' re as old as half the fellows who get married. I know a dozen fellows who were married at twenty, rejoined Jay. The big janitor smiled witily; then, turning serious, as if he were going to give some good advice for nothing, he began : Wootten, did you ever live on a farm? Yes, I guess I have. Did you have a big herd of hogs? Yes; I should say we did. Do you remember of ever feeding them hot swill? Yes. Why? Well, you know how they act. They all go crazy as soon as they hear you pour the swill in the trough. The first one sticks his nose in clean up to his eyes, but isn ' t long getting it out, and goes rooting in the dirt. The next one does the same, and every damned pig will stick his nose in that hot stuff and go off squealing. Do you know that is just exactly the way with you young bucks about getting married? Every one of you must get your nose burned before you will know enough to leave it alone, and then you know it ' s an awful long wedding that hasn ' t got a Reno. Eighty-seven c a u r.

One Hundred On€ jj mong the important developments of the present school year is the enthusiastic development of inter-class debates. For which we feel a deep indebtedness to our intrepid debating man- ager, Geo. Worthen. Having been early imbued with Bulwer Lytton ' s fiery sentiment, In the lexicon of youth there is no such word as fail, Mr. Worthen took up the responsibility of his office with energy and good cheer. He immediately set about to interest some of Provo ' s prominent business men, who cheerfully responded and furnished an elegant silver trophy cup ; which remains the property of the school debating society, but the class and the class debaters of the winning team to be engraved upon the cup. It is with pleasure that we here record the fact that our 1912 High School Class and their debating team, James A. Bullock and Irvin R. Tippetts, have the place of honor on the coveted trophy. Among the events of vital importance in our class his- tory was the announcement handed down by the judges on the tenth day of March, 1912, in favor of the affirmative at the close of the most important debate in our class life, that the vexed and perplexing question which for decades had been puzzling the Solons and Websters of the United States Congress — Re- solved, that the U. S. Federal Government should establish a parcels post — had been settled once and for all time by the matchless oratory and profound arguments of our James Demosthenes Bullock and our Benj. Franklin Tippetts. Pres. E. S. Hinckley. One Hundred Two One Hundred Three Ctie Poofe of Ctuelijesf Being a record of the first battle of the tribe of Stringham, in the ninth year of the reign of Judge Brimhall. 1. Now behold, it came to pass in the ninth year of the reign of the righteous Judge Brimhall of the B. Y. U., there arose a mighty class of ' 12s, of the tribe of Stringham. 2. And it came to pass that they walked in the ways of their ruler, and because of their righteousness, they gained much fa- vor in the sight of their Judge. 3. Lo, and behold, because of their righteousness, it came to pass that they gathered together for a time of rejoicing. 4. And it came to pass, while they were thus gathered to- gether, the mighty hosts of the College, of the tribe of Beeley, rebelled against the ' 12s, in so much that they refused to let the ' 12s take instructions on their land, which is to the north- ward, on a narrow neck of land called Temple Hill. 5. Now it came to pass that on the 28th day of the tenth month, of the ninth year of the reign of Judge Brimhall, all of the tribes of the B. Y. U. gained favor in the sight of the judge in so much that they again gathered themselves together, yea, even for a time of great feasting and rejoicing. 6. But lo, and behold it came to pass that the sons of Beeley hardened their hearts against the sons of Stringham, in so much that there arose a great rebellion, and they gathered together their armies to destroy the sons of the tribe of Stringham. 7. Nevertheless, the sons of the tribe of Stringham assembled their forces together to cause vengeance to come upon the sons of the tribe of Beeley, and they sent a proclamation unto the sons of the tribe of Beeley, that they would fight for the right to receive instructions on whatsoever land was necessary they should. One Hundred Four 8. And it came to pass that the daughters of the tribe of Stringham did assemble themselves together, and did take the top of the Maeser Memorial, burning all bridges behind them. 9. And it came to pass that they did gather together for a time of rejoicing to bring remorse upon the daughters of the tribe of Beeley, in so much that there was a continual war of tongues between them. 10. And lo, and behold, it came to pass that the sons of String- ham and the sons of Beeley, did meet together in mighty battle. 11. And now it came to pass, after the close of twenty min- utes, after much bloodshed and many side shows, the sons of the tribe of Beeley were crushed, and retreated to the grand- stand in sore remorse. 12. Now it came to pass that the sons and daughters of the tribe of Stringham did meet together for a time of great rejoic- ing and feasting. 13. And it came to pass that they did carry the laurels down town, yea even to the Bank Comer, and did dance and rejoice exceedingly. 14. Now lo, and behold it came to pass that the sons and daughters of the tribe of Beeley became exceeding meek and humbled, and the tribe of Stringham did continue to receive instructions on the land to the northward until the end of their days. 15. And this ends the record of the first battle of the sons of the tribe of Stringham and the sons of the tribe of Beeley, in the ninth year of the reign of Judge Brimhall, in the year Nine- teen Hundred and Eleven. One Hundred Five ALD-REPUBLICAN 12 STDDENTS TO BUILD GATEWAY TO BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY The 12 ' s High School Class Will Spend a Large Sum on a HagDiflcent Entrance to the School. (Special to the Herald-Republican) The 1912 High School class of the Brigham Young University, numbering 150 high school gradu- ates, will leave a monument at the B. Y. U. that will be a lasting trib- ute to the memory of that organ- ization. The students some time ago decided they would build a gateway to the high school and Normal buildings, so immediately set to work surveying the south- west corner of the high school campus. After carefully figuring out the cost of building a gateway that would be a credit to the insti- tution, the students found that it would cost them $1,000 to do the work, but voted una nimously to put in the gateway. P. C. Peterson, the present editor of the White and Blue, and one of the directors of the Sanpete Stone Company, offered the class $150.00 worth of white stone of the finest quality. Architect J. E. Allen drew up the plans. The base will be built of granite and cement, while the capping will be of white stone. It will be one of the finest gateways ever erected in front of a college. Work will commence the first of next week, and the students hope to have it completed by the first of May.

My dear Students : Even at this late hour I hope you will accept my apppeciation of the invitation to attend your festivities Saturday evening. May 6 It is needless for me to say that through school affairs and other circum- stances, over which I have no control, I was not able to be present. I appreciate the invitation very much and shall place it away and cherish it as one of my school treasures. If the party was as unique as the program is it certainly must have been an enjoyable affair. Very truly yours.

CHORUS A qualitative student vith his tongrue took a lick; The unknown looked mild, but contained arsenic. He was seized irlth a longing to join the band, And started on his journey to the promised land. A stnde made a test with cyanide.

And then ' e can ' t forget Prof. Wm. J. Snow He never speaks of his classes as slo v. His weight Is nothing, as he Is six feet tall; And he vron ' t even flunk you If you do not work at all. William J. — he likes to tell us stories; AVilliam J. — he ' s quite a preacher, too; William J. — when he doesn ' t know the lesson; He tells us of the things he used to do. —PENOBSCOT.

Now, why should we have pennies? complained DeVere. I don ' t know, answered Clarence J., unless it is to en- able the Faculty to be charitable.

One Hundred Eighten Q)ftat tfje Panpon arijinks; of ©g A stalwart race by harmony thus bound Who laid opposing barriers to the ground; We, in derision, scorn despairing throes, Pluck diadems of victory from our foes. This is the way in which the ' 12s H. S. see themselves. And in looking back over their class history one will see that they have some grounds for this rather egotistic attitude. Immediately upon entering school, they showed their aggres- siveness by dragging the ' lis H. S. through the mill-race. Ever since then they have been up to their tricks (especially with those unfortunate foes) by taking the first inter-class baseball series in which they competed, the Founder ' s Day track meet of last fall, and inter-class wrestling championships this year. Ever since entering school, they have proved themselves to be as they say: the stalwart class who pluck diadems of vic- tory from their foes. They are the kind who, with enough time and patient training will make good college guys. In looking back over our high school career many pleasing and encouraging reminiscences come to mind. Our class con- tests have been a source of joy and profit, and though we have often been downed, we have won more than our share of vic- tories. Cft IV €onit ion Perhaps our strongest rivals have been the ' 12s H. S., and we confess that they are a commendable aggregation. Although we have often become a little stern in times of strong rivalry, we vacate our place for the ' 12s with the best of feelings and the assurance of worthy successors. We wish to acknowledge our appreciation of their banquet and ball given in our honor. It was not only a creditable entertainment, but in many respects a model. We admire your initiative and push, ' 12s, and wish you as much success in your future undertakings as attended your efforts in entertaining the ' lis. ' llsH. S.— D. J. W.

Go thou thy way and I go mine ; Apart, yet not afar ; Only a thin veil hangs between The Pathways where we are ; And God keep watch ' tween thee and me, This is my prayer ; He looks thy way. He looketh mine, And keeps us near. I know not where thy road may lie. Or which way mine may be ; If mine will lead through parching sands. And thine beside the sea; Yet God keeps watch ' tween thee and me. So never fear; He holds thy hand, He claspeth mine, And keeps us near. Should wealth and fame perchance be thine, And my lot lowly be. Or you be sad or sorrowful. And glory be for me : Yet God keeps watch ' tween thee and me, Both be His care, One arm ' round thee and one ' round me Will keep us near. I ' ll sigh sometimes to see thy face, But since this cannot be, I ' ll leave thee to the care of Him Who cares for thee and me. I ' ll keep thee both beneath my wings, This comfort dear, One wing o ' er thee and one o ' er me. So we are near. And though our paths be separate, And thy way is not mine. Yet, coming to the mercy seat, My soul will meet with thine; And God keep watch ' tween thee and me, I ' ll whisper there. He blesseth thee. He blesseth me. And we are near. — J. A.
