All that is needed in 55 with a few statistics and the history is complete. But it is different with the class upon whom Providence has lavished such a wealth of gifts as to raise it above all others. The principal events of its career may be easily narrated, but when these have been presented in the fullest measure, how inadequate and unsatisfactory it still remains! That, which distinguishes it from all others and exalts it high above them, is felt to be untouched. Strange and beautiful flowers may burst forth under our very gaze: but the marvelous energy that produces them remains invisible and mysterious. Therefore, it would be useless to endeavor to give an accurate and finished history of the class of I9l l. The fall of I907 marks a new era in the history of the Mishawaka High School. From that time it has made wonderful advancement. and ranks high among the best schools in the state. When the class of 'll entered the school as Freshmen, everything assumed a new aspect. Athletics received a strong impetus that has placed the Maroon and White in the front ranks, especially in Basket-ball. The literary programs became more interesting, school music was mater- ially benefited, an art class was formed as were numerous other organizations. which tended to promote greater activity and interest among the students. The class of 'll was the stimulating element that brought about this remarkable change. The first two years were uneventful. New friendships were made, which in a few instances developed into something more serious, but for the most part, they have proven warm and fast during the tempestuous voyage thru the mysterious realms of knowledge. Knowing full well the meaning of the old adage, 'Time and tide wait for no man: the class declined to waste their time in petty 'pennant fights and flashy social eventsg' but seized the golden opportunity offered them for mental advancement, and laid the foundations on which to build a life of usefulness and accomplishment. The other classes in the school were not long in perceiving that this class was far above the ordinary, and prompted by a spirit of inferiority. they humbled themselves in the presence of its members and sought their advice and council on all matters of importance and weight.
