The Class of 1912 A CERTAIN college paper, in giving an account of events connected with the opening term of their school year, said : ' ' The Freshmen are still rolling in, and that expression may aptly be applied to the class which entered Hanover as Freshmen in the autumn of 1908. We simply rolled in from all parts of Indiana, from Ken- tucky, Illinois, and even Texas sent her delegation, until we were the largest class that had ever entered Hanover. From the first we gave every one the impression of being all that good Freshmen ought to be. Prof. Boyd was so impressed the day of his first Freshman Math class that he confided to his wife when he went home that these Freshmen were about the finest he had ever seen. We held our first party in Happy Valley one night so dark you could not see your hands before your face. The Sophomores got together all the upper-classmen in College, for they had not the courage to undertake to venture alone, and came too, luckily after all eatables had been disposed of. Thus assisted, they tied up our boys and led them back to town captives. It was a sad little procession which filed up the river road that night, the girls in the rear carrying all paraphernalia such as coats and hats that had been left on the battlefield. The next morning, however, the Freshmen got their revenge. In the class-scrap they amply repaid, with black eyes and bruised noses, the Sophomores for the defeat of the night before. We have shown ourselves just as able in the classroom to conquer as in fighting with impudent Sophomores. Holy and Eloise led the College the first term and have held their place ever since. We pored for hours over im- possible Greek ; we drew Graphs and worked long problems in Logarithms ; we scoured the hills far and wide for Botany specimens ; we mixed up evil- smelling compounds in Chemistry, investigated solutions and were careful not to vitiate experiments; we wrote French and German conjugations for Prof. Wolfe and always closed the door after us and never turned the erasers face down, thereby gaining his favor; we have repeated Mary had a little lamb while we multiplied numbers of four figures each, and discussed with Dr. Minis the Mob ] lind and how to govern the Crowd, in Psychology; and in the field of Philosophy delved into Evolution and the questions of Space and Time and the Soul. Our class has been prominent in all student activities, in Y. W and Y. I I. C. A., in the Glee Club, the Press Club, and what would the Dramatic Club liave done witliout us? and in all kinds of Athletics. We have filled our part as best we could and now give up our places to those who come after. They ina - do better than we, ])ut in one thing they cannot excel, and that is in fidelity to Old Hanover. 22
