“Ah! those were good old days’, said Mr. Martin, as he leaned back in his office chair and surveyed his young visitor calmly with his keen blue eyes. “You say you have often heard of the class of 1912. Well I am not surprised at all that its fame should still be fresh even though ten classes have since departed from the same doors and have looked back with the very same lingering look of farewell at the dear old campus. ““We began our career in college with unusual zeal. Why! our first class meeting was so lively and business was so extensive it took two meetings to bring things to a definite close. You have surely heard of the famous ride to Joel. But don’t you dare mention ‘Sophomores’ and ‘Bolts’ to me. I have never liked either since. Later in this year came the St. Patrick's Day fight. There are no fights like that nowadays. Why, you could actually see chuaks of hair blowing around the campus, pulled out by the feminine participants. You ask how it came out? We won of course. You could have bought every Sophomore for three cents apiece. Our Freshman year closed with the big Freshman Glee, which was the most glorious event of the year. “As Sophomores we began to feel the weight of college cares and entered more deeply into the art of intensive study. Every 1912 man did himself honor, nevertheless, in the cane-rush, and the victory for the Freshies was due only to their majority in numbers. The greatest social event was the Sophomore Frolic, which did credit to the supporters of Maroon and Gray. “As Juniors the glorious class displayed even greater activity. Our members took part in debates, were on various athletic teams, and excelled on the stage in amateur theatricals. Several were on the Argonaut staff and helped to make the Argonaut see one of its best years. It was during the latter part of this year that we presented ‘Christopher Junior’, which met with so much approbation. Our class pations, Lieutenant and Mrs. Smith, entertained us at a party. It’s too bad, Jim, that you don’t have parties like that nowadays. We all felt pretty badly when Lifty’ and his wife went away, and you can bet that every one of the old class will swear by them. We were, however, fortunate to secure in their places Dean and Mrs. Eldridge, who proved all a class could wish. The Junior Prom of this year far outshone any preceding one and will be remembered for many a year. “As Seniors we conducted ourselves with all due dignity. The first social event was the Senior girls’ picnic at Dingley Dell. Then followed an exclusive party of the Senior boys and later a party given to the Senior girls by the Senior boys. I tell you we were entertained and banqueted that last year, my boy—lI'll never forget it. “Our class was and is one to be proud of and commencement will long be remembered by all of us. The memories of those old college days are worth a great deal to me now. I wouldn't give them up for anything you could offer me.” NINETEEN
