C ROYAL PURPLE 1912 X -ess J c v , :zz A g filbw Ia, i ,- F Q Q 'F .ini , . 1 li X JUNIOR OFFICERS Ziaisturp uf the lass nf '12 Most things in their beginning are small, this howeve1' could not be rightly saidofthe class of IQI2, which began its career with a membership ofnearly 200. They were no less green and awkward than the ordinary Freshmen, but full of life, enthusiastic over their new experiences and ready to enjoy all that college had in store for them. They possessed a quality talked of hy their predecessors and envied by their successors, a genuine class spirit. Scarcely had two weeks passed by when they began holding class meetings, often, it is true, interrupted by the upper classmen, who wished to show their authority. But this did not discourage them. Finally a day came when no Freshmen could be found on the campus. They had suddenly departed. In vain did the Sophomores search and, at last, desperate, they boarded the Cedar Rapids train. The culprits were dis- covered but outwitted their college mates hy refusing them admittance to the banqueting hall. The members of this class have always proven themselves most diligent students. .Their mental abilities have been so recognized by the faculty that they have been given, not only the privilege, but the requirement of three hours more of college work than was ever demanded of any other class ever grad- uated from Cornell. In athletics this class has ever been prominent. For three successive years the basketball girls have won the cup. The football boys were champions for two years. The basketball boys won the 'first series of class games ever played in Cornell. In their Sophomore year the boys of the class dragged the Freshmen through Ink's pond. Other classes may well be envious of the record made by the ,I2lS. It will long be remembered and honored in years to come for its diligent students and famous athletes.
