r pjVERY year it becomes more difficult to write the history of the Senior Class, for L“j J all the pleasant things which might be said have already been said about PRgSjffif previous years. We do not boast that we are the best class that has ever gone out from the old school. We only ask that you judge of our merit not by what vve have done when the curtain falls behind us in 1912, but by what Old Father Time will indite about us in his record in 1950. Our college years have been but years of preparation for the future that is to come You will behold the fruition of our labors, when some of us, not excluding the fair coeds, shall be members of the international arbitration board, compute the income tax and the minimum wage scale and operate the trans-Atlantic air steamers. As for a few details of our history, we started m bouyant and conceited as most Freshmen On the night of our first class meeting, however, the upper classmen saw that we were reduced to the proper state of humility. Together, we toiled through the diffi- culties of Horace and Levy and were initiated into the perplexities of college mathe- matics, We took a peep into the mysteries of the Middle Ages and began to learn to appreciate the beauties of literature. We were also taught the art of expressing our newly-awakened souls through the medium of language. Our Sophomore and Junior years were very uneventful During this period many of our number fell by the wayside, and the rest of us took such entirely different courses that we lost that close feeling of kinship. At last our Senior year has come, though its two most important events, the graduation exercises and the class banquet, are stiff to be We know that both of these will be brilliant affairs. At our banquet we hope to renew old ties and form many new ones, so that we can depart with courage high and spirits joyful as the Class of 191 2 . 2 !
