New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1912-05-15
Com mencenaent Days.

DR.. Martin Luther College 10 astil
With the hum of preparation for th,
/ graduation of its Senior class 90 /,
the High School. Everywhere art
seen busy boys and girls in conference
With teachers, friends, and fellow
classmates over the details Of the
coming event. Commencement Day is
the first really big day in girls OF
boys life and no other days that
come after it to add their eventful
share OF life's experiences can quite
match Graduation Day in Innocent,
care.free happiness. The Graduate
stands on the threshold of life looking
forward along the road he is to travel
and SO far as his sight can tell him the
way is smooth, the sun shines and the
long, straight path climbs the hill OF
ambition steadily and surely. A
nearer vision will show the young
traveller the hard bits of the road that
must be passed by earnest effort but
Just now in the May days he does not
see these things and he is happy in
the excitement OF preparing for the
change from school life to real life
and the best wishes of parents and
friends cluster about the young people
soon to take their places among us as
workers of the world.
Friends of the pupils in the College
and the High School may like to
make some comparisons between the
classes of this year and those of
former years. i

class of 1912 had membership OF 16.

number remained and4 new members

being the largest to graduate from the
College, the largest previous class,
that of 1898, having had IA members.
However, 3 pupils discontinued their
studies and 4 others dropped out for
time to vicariate. One new member

who will complete the work this
spring. The class of 1912 still ties the
second largest class, that of 1899, and
is the largest class since that time.
