Junior I Class History We’re a band of “Jolly Juniors ’ We’ve passed the Freshman year: We spurn the haughty Sophomore: Our Senior time draws near. Six fine mechanics, five brainy bookkeepers, one illus¬ trious son of the rural districts and fifteen sweet, gentle and excellent housekeepers, compose this “Jolly Junior I. Band.”. Now, Gibbon has said that history is little else than a catalogue of crimes, mistakes and misfortunes of men, and if this be the case, the class of 1912 has but little history. She has no crimes, unless the most pleasant habit of “cutting,” “shorting” and “bathing” be unchar¬ itably called criminal acts. Her mistakes are few; never¬ theless we must acknowledge that sometimes her mechan¬ ical sons will mistake their fingers for the nail. As for her misfortunes, there are none, except the fact that she has not enough high and honorable positions in which to place her noble sons and daughters. The accomplishments of the past year greatly out¬ weigh these petty faults, and we are sure that with another year’s practice our mechanics will always “hit the nail on the head.” Nor are we lacking in athletes, for Messrs. Giddens, Braunigs, May and Miss Hamilton reflect honor upon the class in this line. We doubt not that we have had our share of the pleas¬ ures and difficulties due to Junior I’s, but in spite of the difficulties we hope to live up to our motto, “Labor on to Success,” and come out victors in the end.
