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
