SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1912 The Class The college days of of 1912. the class of 1912 have drawn to an end. Duty now sounds its call in their ears from new fields, with which we are unfamiliar. The ways part here. After next Wednesday 1912 will be a memory at Penn State, a glorious memory however for those who re main to think about. During the four years this class has been form ing valued friendships and collect ing cherished remembrances which will be carried through life as re minders of time spent within the shadows “Old Main”. To us these friendships mean more than anything else, but to those who follow the splendid athletes, the exceptionally strong positive per sonalities of the leading men of the class, the wise customs and regula tions instigated and established by the class,and the new Wireless Tow er presented by them will go with our athletic victories of the year over Cornell, Princeton, Pennsyl vania, Yale and Pitt toward making 1912 a banner' year at Penn State. Immediately after graduation, the majority of the men will take up their new duties. All connecting with Penn State, and most earnestly the Penn State Collegian, wish un limited success to the members of 1912. The Retiring The Penn State Board. Collegian records with regret the'loss to the paper of five retiring men by graduation this spring. All have been connected with the paper for three years and have put their best efforts in the work. The 1913 The yearly book pub is Vie. lished by the Junior Class of the Pennsylva nia State College, the La Vie, Has been distributed, ‘the last week. The edition compares very favorably with other La Vies and is a credit to the La Vie board and to the class. This is the twenty-fourth edition of the book. Two import ant changes in the style of the publication are noticed. The in dividual write-ups are brief and well chosen, and the junior class is divided into schools, the latter change bringing out more and more the distinction between different units of the college. W. S. Kriebel, Jr, Mr. W. S. Kriebel, Jr., editor-in chief of the paper has performed his editorial duties in a most credi table manner. The difficulties of presenting to those interested in the college a paper that will please the majority and at the same time take a definite stand for the right thing have been largely overcome by the retiring editor. By untiring effort and the use of much tact fullness the"Collegian"has been well edited during the last year and takes a rather high rank among similar weekly periodicals. E. A. James. Mr. James has filled the position of business manager of the paper with unusual ability. His task, a hard one from all view points, did not cause the many problems in financing such a proposition as the “Collegian” to be neglected. The re tiring business manager is to be congratulated upon his successful manipulation of the business de partment. The Three Assistants. Mr. W. P. Little, assistant editor, and Messers H. S. Coughlin and T. Lenchner, assistant business mana gers, have been of invaluable aid in the success of the weekly. Mr. Little, in the editorial department, has taken an active part in handling details and has secured many valu able articles for the paper- Mess ers Coughlin and Lenchner, assistant business managers, have made it only possible to run the paper through their efforts in securing subscriptions. That part of the constitution of the Athletic Association providing for the awarding of the prescribed tennis insignia was voted on and passed May 29.
