Show Senior DignityNOW that the fourth year of our college life is drawing to a close, the class of 1912 looks back over the various activities of the past years and gives an approving nod.The first thing which comes most vividly before us is the winning of the flag rush, followed by the pole rush which proved that the Freshmen had class spirit not to be held down. Then we look at the Dramatic Club cast and find 1912 written after a majority of the names. On the Chronicle staff we notice that our class is well represented. All of which proves that even as Freshmen we were alive.Next comes our Sophomore year in which we did many things, not all approved by the Faculty. We put our numerals on the chimney, and then we took them off. In athletics and debating we were at the front. And then recall the shower of flour to prevent our antagonists having the yearly picture. Also how 1912 conceived a new idea for a picture setting and plodded toward the "U" on the hill.Then opens our busy Junior year. Work parties, indeed, when the boys took lessons in domestic art and the girls proved patient teachers. These led to the "Prom.,' which was an unrivaled success, an entirely new scheme being carried out. Difficulties arose in regard to the Utonian, but 1912 overcame the obstacle and published one of the best Year Books ever given out at the University. Oh, yes, don't overlook the "Rube" Band and the U. of U. Suffragettes with their mannish coats and would-be mannish strides, that attracted so much attention when the Legislators visited the University. That year was closed with the tearful Senior Funeral.We began our Senior year with thoughts a trifle more serious. In spite of that fact, the class was still awake, which was proven by the Senior Hop, at which everyone had a good time. So with our Senior Assembly, with its excellent program and delicious orange sherbert served afterwards. As a last impression we trust that the class of 1912 will not be forgotten. Its members will hold dear the memory of their Alma Mater, and, with parting breath we'll sing "A Utah Man Am I."22 |
