Class History 1912. In the history of the schools of Manitowoc, we find the records of many classes. Not the least conspicuous among them is the class of 1912. The fall of 1908, marks am epoch in the history of the schools of the city. For was not that the yvearin which the members ot the class of 1912 began their careers as freshmen? A’ happier union could not have been made than the one found be- tween the South, the West, and the North, 1911. There were sixteen pupils from the South, thirteen from the Vest and twenty- seven from the North, who constituted this happy class. Reams could be written about each member so great and varied are their experiences, thots, and hopes; but time and space are limited, therefore only the experiences of the class, asa whole, can be recorded. As aclass, we were and are independent; our teachers tell us “‘too much so,” but we would not exchange any member of our class, for any member of any other class, in the history of the schools of Manitowoc. Brown is the prevailing color of our hair, but we must not fail to mention our famous auburn haired girls, and the members of both sexes, who are adorned with black and blonde. We havean extensive variety in the color of eyes; true blue predominates; brown and steel gray are next in popularity. Our average height is about five feet four inches, altho our tallest member measures six feet, and ourshortest representative is five feet in height. Varying sizes are found, however. If weighed on one immense balance, we should scale about three tons. (Our brains are the heaviest part.) We have Irish wit, Scandinavian sagacity, Bohemian joyous- ness, and German philosophy in our ranks. Our common sense is one of our greatest features. Asan evidence of this, we have dis- pensed with rats, puffs, and !oud colored ties, and have confined ourselves to barrettes, hairpins and modest ribbon bands. We are very particular about the method of procedure in all our meetings, as we alwas refer to Parliamentary Rules, especially Robert’s Rules of Order, as expounded by one of our mighty debators. Light heartedness is one of our good features; in fact, we love a joke immensely, and like to play them, as well as have them played on us. But the one joke we failed to appreciate was Physics. We dove deep into the mysteries of that study, but to no avail, for whenthe final came, asa class, we failed! But with renewed courage we tackled the difficulty again, and have succeeded in sur- mounting that obstacle.
