Nineteen Twelve 'We have now spent three years at the college which we hope will soon be our Alma Mater. The time spent here has seemed very short indeed for it is ua conceded fact that when peo- ple are busy the time passes rapidly. ' Two years ago last September, we entered the glorious old Mount as freshmen, but it did not take long for us to acclimate ourselves. I suppose we were about as verdant as any freshman class, but we soon outgrew our swaddling clothes and put away childish things. We were very different in our Sop'homore year from the present Sophomore Class. VV hen they were fresh-men, they were about the greenest bunch that ever entered college class rooms, and what is sadder still, they have not changed their ways much yet. The etymology of the word Sophomore is cer- tainly applicable to the present second year cl-ass. We hope that there will be a revulsion before they become juniors, so that the high standing of the junior class will be retained. Our class is very small, about the smallest that has been in college for some time. But this is not much of a draw-back when we consider the quality of the members. As able indi- vidual members, I say not with a boastful spirit, that our class is unexcelled. In any line whatever, you will iind the Juniors in the lead. As students especially the girls of the class are par excellence. A few examples will show the excellency and versa- tility of the class. We have Mary Henry Whose sweet, melliiluent, voice is commended by all who have had the pleasure of listening to the beautiful strains that have escaped her lips. Then there is Mgiss Inman, a every accomplished young lady, with a charming voice and pleasing manners, who is recognized by all as the best actress who has been in Mount Union in many a year. In athletics, we have the two Gibsons, both of whom have been foot-ball captains and are now star players. Jones, captain of the base-ball team, is the best pitcher Mt. Union ever had. Little Brownie is about the most versatile man in the col- lege. I-Ie is a very good student, a star foot-ball player, basket- ball player, base-ball player, a member of the college debating team, and adept in so-cial affairs. v If space would permit, I could go on and on enumerating the virtues and accomplishments of the class, bu't actions speak louder than words so we shall show to the college next year what a perspicacious, vivacious, and ambi'tious senior class can accomplish in a growing college. page thirty-four
