Class Poem, 1911 —040— HOU, Alma Mater, must stay us no longer; Days of our prenticeship Time lias swept past. Older, we leave thee, and braver, and stronger ; Better for love of tkee — love tkat will last. Golden tke years tkat too swiftly slipped ky us ; Golden tke mem ries our kearts bear away. Fain we would linger, but fortune dotk cry us Turn. Tke world waits us; we dare not delay. Hear st tkou not rolling great Industry s tkunder? Feel st tkou not tkrokking tke pulses of Power ? Strongly tkey call to us, thrilling with wonder. We would forsake even tkee in this hour. Eager we go to tke tasks tkat arc waiting. Tkou bast prepared us—we fear not tke test. Be it but serving, or be it creating. Of all tkou gavest us, give we tke best. Mid tke travail tkat tke future is bringing. While tke steel rings, and tke forge leaps with flame. Voices of Power to us will be singing. Ok Alma Mater, a hymn to tky name. 38

aHQQ SENIORS We must admit that the activities of the Class of 1911 during the last year were confined chiefly to knowledge seeking along lines which would strengthen their foundations for their worldly career. When we were “rounded up in October for our last year ’neath the walls of dear old Tech, we elected officers for the first semester and then turned our attention to the promising but untried Class of 1913. To decide their fate we held many secret meetings. Some were sent down the path that had for its destination the “Tub of Fame ;—while others seemed to have the ability to become circus riders, tight rope walkers and peanut rollers. While the Freshmen did not succeed in unfurling many '13 banners, we give them direct credit for having the right idea and plenty of class spirit. With the organization of a football and basketball team we closed the first semester. The second and last semester marks chiefly the epoch of “Making Good. At the first class meeting for the election of officers, it was moved that Wm. E. Deets should be unanimously re-elected president, for the loyalty and interest lie had shown for the class. We marched through the exams with colors flying and celebrated our victory over “Job’s Hoodoo at the Fort Pitt Hotel on the night of the 7th of January. Late in the month of February we endeavored to explain to the president and vice-president of the first year class that they were not to be present at their banquet that evening. To this they sorely objected, and in order to pacify them we assembled at Point View Hotel where we held a very enjoyable smoker. Mr. Keitz, sheriff of Allegheny 20
