ANNUAL, 1925 Page 17 everyone, of the school life of 1923-1924. Our basketball team was tested and proved its fine mettle. As Seniors we have reached our years of strength and might and if we haven't excelled in all activities it isn't because we haven't tried, nor been responsive in our fleeting four years. C. H. S. has grown dearer to us and we appreciate to the utmost her influence always for the good and her priceless blessings, bestowed on us groping for knowledge. Our class officers, wisely chosen and proudly submitted, are: Robert Secrest, president: Vlfilliam Wiley, vice- presidentg Elizabeth Hanna, secretaryg Wilma Devore, treasurer. VVe had one of the finest parties the world has ever seen at the home of Elizabeth Neilley, celebrating with games and favors old St. Valentine. A Wiener roast was held at Turnbauglfs Farm-an outdoor occasion greatly enjoyed by all lovers of Mother Nature and Wieners. Our Senior year has seen a great extension in the Girl Reserve Club, to which most -of C. H. S. girls belong, and are proud of it. One sad oceurence cast a shadow of sadness over the entire C. H. S. and all her devotees when Mr. 'Carmen died early in the school year. This year, as in all others, we have been well represented in the band, glee club, and orchestra, cheer and song leaders from our class have aided in boosting our athletics. We have always participated in football and basketball, and had a goodly number of Seniors in both teams. Class Night and Commencement will be in a short time, occasions to which our minds and hearts are looking forward with just a tinge of regret overshadowing all with the thought of leaving the revered halls of C. H. S. The world will little note nor long remember what I say here, but it can never forget what the class of '25 did here. It is for us, the graduates, rather to dedicate our appreciation here to the work which they who taught here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us,--that from these honored teachers we take increased devotion to that cause for which they have given the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that this class shall not have graduated in vain,- that this class of '25, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,- and that learning of the people, shall not perish from the earth. -IVIARGARET MAE VVISHART, 1925.

Page 16 THE C. H. S. HISTORY OF CLASS OF '25 Four score less seventy-six years ago, the year, 1921 brought forth into Cmbridge High School a new class conceived in liberty, and dedi- cated to the proposition that all men are created equal. About two hundred twenty ambitious and energetic souls entered the welcoming doors of Brown High, grown dearer as the years have advanced. And now we are engaged in preparing for our commencement, testing whether this class, or any class so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. Our numbers have been gradually diminishing, some overcome by school trials and tribulations, and others have been summoned to follow other ways. But we are proud and glad to know that about one hundred and sixty hard-working and ambitious students are going to be sweet girl and boy graduates in June. We are 11161: for a great summary of this class. I have come to dedicate a portion of this Annual as a final resume of the class for those who here willingly did their best that C. H. S. might continue to flourish. It is altogether Fitting and proper that we should do this. A loyal spirited group, eager for knowledge, composed the Fresh- men class of 1921. Unhonored and unsung we strived to make impres- sions in our humble way: we also attended the high school party and that of the Y. VV. C. A. We presented in a very artistic manner Hia- watha and A Freshman's Dream. Our class basketball team was full of vigor and vim but Old Dame Luck eluded our grasp. Williain and Sarah Amos were our representatives on the Student Council. As Sophomores we organized and became recognized. Our officers Were: Edgell Shafer, presidentg Ernest Rambar, vice-presidentg Carlotta Frame, secretaryg and Mildred Schramm, treasurer. Our class colors are blue and gold, a beautiful combination that we have endeavored to make widely and well known. Our girls enjoyed playing basketball under the supervision of Miss johnson and Miss Carnes. We had our First class party, one to be long remembered, at our favorite resort, the McMahon gym, and had the most fun. We attended the high school party and vivified the occasion with a most clever stunt. We very wisely chose Miss Johnson for our class advisor, a choice that we've never regretted. She has always been willing and ready with suggestions to boost our class that we might make C. H. S. proud of us. At the beginning of our Junior Year the following officers were elected to pilot the ship of state: George Atkinson, presidentg Ernest Rambar, vice-presiclentg Sarah Amos, secretaryg Leona Glenn, treasurer. Our class pins have been and always will be objects to delight the eye and gladden the heart. Our first social function was in the nature of a Hallowe'en party held at the gym where the old witches and sprites never viewed gayer festive sights. We gave a reception in honor of the Seniors at the home of Catherine Craig. Our class play, Clarence, a fine exhibition of dramatic talent, given in a superb manner. Our Annual was published with earnest efforts to make a good souvenir for
