the building red, or organizing a strike, etc., we have taken part in the activities of the school. In athletics we can boast of our prowess, for, look you, several of our star basket-ball players are '11 men. We have an officer in the Athletic Association, who must also be given his due share of prominence. In musical talent we have been quite up to the mark-Contemplate the names of the Orchestra members-Juniors galore! We did our share of work for the Bazaar, and also derived our share of amusement from it. We all agreed that it was a great success. And Oh, Juniors! Do you remember our very first informal, the social birthday of our class? Do you remember the beautiful gold and green decorations? And did you see those dignified Seniors trip the light fantastic? It was certainly a memorable event. The organization of our class met with the approval and satisfaction of all concerned. We trust that the spirit of loyalty to our class, and the bonds of friendship, which, through our organization, have already become more perfected, will continue throughout the entire existence of our class. It is not irrelevant to state here and now, nor is it mere adulation of our class, that our launching forth in 1911 will accelerate that perfect time, when there shall be capable business men and women. For, with the good material we have, we hope to convince the business men of 1912. that our class, and ours alone, can satisfy their demands. CLARA PFISTER, 1911. Armstrong, Anna Margaret.

The Qlllass nf 1912 ISTORY pre-supposes a past and some degree of development. Now the babe and tribe have but scant chroniclesg still as times change the babe becomes a man, the tribe becomes a nation, and new events are being constantly recorded in their histories. Thus it is with the High School of Commerce and the Class of 1912. We may picture the school as the tribe and our class as the babe. The history of the school we will pass by, and look into the history of the class, which, summed up, consists of an uneventful past, a busy and happy present, and a hopeful and promising future. A memorable date in the Class History is the fourth of October, year nineteen hundred nine, for on that day we entered the High School of Com- merce as its first Sophomore Class. When the thirty-eight girls and thirty- Eve boys which form our Class met for the first time, we were greeted by our principal, who delivered a short talk, describing the aim of our school, its courses of work, the school colors, and the honors for which we should strive. In the course of a few weeks after the beginning of the school year, we had become settled and had pledged our honor to the White and Gold, which, as you know, are the school's colors. As the year went along we mastered our work and enjoyed the good times, but we own that we have had our sor- rows. One of these is the disappointment that comes in many cases after the Mathematical Examinations. So much for the sadnessg now let us look toward something brighter than an examination. In athletics we put for- ward severnl strong men, one of whom was the captain of the basket ball team. This stands to show what we shall do when we are seniors. We have had a few debates among ourselves during the year, and Hatter ourselves that we are pretty fair at the business for beginners. At the Bazaar we had a booth, where candy and novelties were sold, and we did our part in making the affair a success. This proves that we are ready to take part in any of the school activities. Let us hope that in the future we shall strive as hard as in the past in aiding Father Time to bring about the object of our ambition-graduation from the High School of Commerce. THOMAS MURPHY. 68
