Mentor Class! tstorp Sweetest in life are the memories of college days—that period in which we enter upon our young manhood with plans, hopes, and aspirations for the future; that period in which, perhaps above all others, we make our closest friendships. This stage in our career is now nearing its close. Those four years now lie behind us, and we face the life-work for which we have been preparing. We trust that we shall go forth manfully and willingly into life's battle. Yet we cannot do so without a mingling of sincerest sorrow with our enthusiasm. In our four years’ residence at dear old Hobart, we have become deeply attached to her. We never, perhaps, so fully realized what Hobart has been to us as we do now when we are called upon to leave her. We entered our college as one of the largest classes in her history; we graduate one of the smallest. Many of our former members have left us to enter business life; others, whose intention it was to take only a partial course here, are now pursuing work at technical schools. Still others are on the list of the “good men that Hobart has turned out” in the past. However, as we look back over our record, we find many things of which to feel proud. From the Banner Scrap and Flour Rush in our Freshman Year we came forth victorious, to enter our second Banner Scrap with redoubled courage and enthusiastic determination to “go in and win.” And win we did!—for the first time in the history of the college. After passing through a successful Junior Year we now find ourselves in the midst of the activities of our last term. The time is drawing near when we must part from our “chums.” With deep regret, also, we leave our dear “Prexie” and the members of the Faculty—those friends, who have been so kind, considerate, and helpful to us. May “Prexie’s boys” of the Class of 1912 depart from Hobart with brave hearts, worthy aims, and spirits loyal to their Alma Mater! -7 Historian.
