THE CLASS OF 1911 Now that we are through our high school course. do we ever look back on our other years at the school? Do we ever think of how we appeared and acted. what we did and how we spent our days during our school life? Do we ever think how we must have looked to the students who stood waiting to receive us on the morn- ing of our memorable Erst day? that an assortment we must have been! Lean and fat. short and tall, with future brilliants mingled with the rest. lVe were certainly proud when we were admitted that first day to Tech and called ourselves Tech stu- dents. lVe received a shock when, on the second day, we found we were not. How we felt when, for two whole weeks, we did not know what or who we were! It was only through the very strenuous efforts of Dr. Myers during those two weeks that we were saved from a terrible fateethat of being divided among the other high schools of the city regardless of the distance, of our likes and dislikes, and we owe him a debt of gratitude that we are able to call ourselves graduates of Tech. When, finally, room had been made for us and we were really Tech students, what green ones we were! Could one believe that such a class could develop into the present Senior Class of which we are all proud to call our- selves members? Surely Dr. Myers made no mistake in working to retain us as Tech students. Had we been sifted out among the other high schools, as was first intended, naturally there would have been no Senior Class this year. there would the undergraduates have been with no model class to laid them and to set for them a good example? We hope that Dr. Myers feels repaid for all his efforts in our behalf. Our class was the class which necessitated the first addition to our school. When we came, and came in such unexpected numbers, it was found that there would not be room for us; but the authorities must have seen udiamonds in l he: A'intlttn
