Actual construction work, however was not begun until in the spring of 1922 by Contractors Gordon and Reid? of Liberty Center, under the direction of Ar- chitect Everett l. Brown of Bluffton. Labor troub- les hindered the work considerably during the first season, but by the time winter set in, the building had been enclosed and rooted. XYork was resumed early in the spring of 1925, and the.build- ing was completed and occupied for school pur- poses on September 2-l, l923. The building is one of the largest and most com- pletely equipped in the county, and one of which the good people of the township are justly proud. The grounds have not yet been completed, but plans are under way for improving and beauti- fying them during the coming summer. 4. -..---.----- it-..-...... ..---- 4. w THE 1925 MEMENTO 4. ---..- ...-.......-..-...-n.-..-u.-..-..-..-.. -.... 4. 1' 9 4 X I X x 5 -A-- ,, X 52 X5 f X imc UU YL , lvl xg 1. .- V Q- - ff gx ' M ' ,V !?

E IOR CLASS HI TORY On September 7, 1923, several sailors gathered at the port of Chester, desirous of embarking on a voyage through the Sea of Knowledge on the I-Iigh School Ship. Having had two years' experience in sailing, we we1'e eager for our voyage. Yvhen the entire crew was assembled, we found that we had the unlucky number of thirteen, but since we were all very courf ageous sailors we were not daunted. NYC elected for our officers, Ruth Ann XX'orster, Captain, Yerne Daniels, First mate, and Ethel Ladd, Second mate. while Mrs. Casey was chosen as our admiral lsponsoril. After several days of smooth sailing, we suddenly found we were in a sea of storms, the first of which was the inter-class tournament, in which we were defeated. However, the biggest storm we weathered took place during the selection of our class play, All on .Xccount of Pollyw, which fin- ally proved to be a great success. Hut our good ship was strong and braved every storm, so we finally sailed into Sunny Sea, where we gave a class party, in the form of a weiner roast and marshmallow toast, at the home of Yolanda Perry, one of the crew. On the ninth of May we were all very glad to have the honor of giv- ing our first reception for the sailors of 'Z-l. Then we landed for our vaca- tion on Summer Island. By the next fall all the crew with the exception of three who were too sea sick, were brave enough to sign up and come aboard again. Wfith the addition of one new member, our crew now numbered eleven. For the re- mainder of our voyage we elected as officers, Carrie Kimmel, Captain, Har- old Clark, First mate. Frederick Park. Second mate, while Mr. Mounsey was selected as Admiral. XVhen the last part of our voyage was half completed, another sailor was added to our crew, making our number twelve. In the storm of the interclass basketball tournament the girls' team was victorious and the boys' team also won. XVe carried as cargo on this voyage a Lecture Course given by the Brown Lyceum Bureau, which was well liked, and although we were not very successful financially, we were proud to know that we had given the public four high class entertainments. Another part of the cargo was a carnival and athletic show, given to help pay for the Lyceum Course, which was a great success. The play we presented, I-Iis Best Investment , was unusually good and very successful. Then we again sailed into Sunny Sea where a class party was held, in the form ofa St. Patricks Day Party, at the home of Catherine Starr. a mem- ber of the crew. After a voyage of smooth sailing we arrived safely on the shore of graduation, having been neither torpedoed nor sunk by F's. XYe leave the port of Chester with happy remembrances of our voyage and hope that all the future crews sailing in the High School Ship are as successful and have as many good times as we have had. -VERA PINNEY. 4...-...- .-....-..- - ...i.-...- N.. .- - i-ii-...-.......-,,-..- -.. ...u-n..-... - -......-...-...-iq. 18 THE 1925 MEMENTO q..-... ----- ---- . .-..-..-......i.....-...-..-.,-..-.. ----.-.- ..-141 LA TWILLA DTE TAME T XVe, the Senior Class of 1925, being hereby conscious that our stay as students of C.

I traveled into the XVest and was taken by an amiable chauffeur who was to be my guide, into a great city and I could see a large crowd, so I asked my chauffeur to stop so that I might see what was going on. A young lady holding a. small boy by the hand, was standing close by a door at the Court House. She said that the attraction was the new -Iudge. a woman, who was being sworn in, and as this was the First woman judge in the state every one was there to see the ceremony. Imagine my surprise when upon pushing forward, I discovered that Mrs. Catherine tStarrj Carnes was the center of interest. After greeting Catherine, I saw Eldon. I-Ie came forward to meet me with the same old smile and told me that he was the chief Court Bailiff, and that as a side line he was bobbing hair in the corridors of the court house. I thought the lady who volunteered this information was someone I ought to know and upon close scrutiny, I recognized her as 11137 old friend and classmate, Elizabeth Burns. She said that she was married and was living in the city where her husband was teaching science in the high school. I asked her if she knew anything about the rest of the class of '25, and she said that Ruth Ann Vtlorster was also married. Her husband owned the largest clothing store in the city and was very prosperous. Ruth Ann was a great help in his business as she demonstrated the new styles just received from Paris. I told my chaunfeur that I had seen one of my old friends from C. I-I. S. and heard of another one, and would like to go someplace where I might be able to see more of them. We sped along a smooth country road until I asked my driver to slow down as the man in the field we were passing looked very much like Harold Clark. We stopped and he said that he had been farming ever since he had graduated from high school. I-Ie added that he had been keeping Bachelors Hall and was not as fortunate as Frederick Park. who had married a rich girl and was now cashier in the First National Bank in a prosperous western town.. VV'hen we arrived in the next town I went into the Public Library and while there I noticed that the librarian kept watching me as if she thought she recognized me. I finally asked her if her name was Ethel Ladd and she replied in the affirmative. She said that library work had always appealed to her and she had taken it up and found it very interesting. Another lady came into the library just then and I recognized her as another member of the class of twenty-five. Ruby Grove. She said that She was teaching the sixth grade in the public schools.

She said that the child was a very sweet girl and was the very image of her mother. Ethel said that Yolanda Perry had become an astronomer and was very successful. She was working hard and had discovered a new star which she frequently sat up all night and watched. She always referred to it as E. P. Ethel also said that Stanley Terman was a noted criminal lawyer and was extending his efforts to bring about the release of Loeb and Leopold. I went out of the library and met a news boy who tried very hard to sell me a paper, and thinking he was a very industrious little boy, I bought one. As soon as I opened the paper I noticed in large headlines, Principal of High School Makes big Advancement. The article stated that Mr. Moun- sey had been elected to a chair in 'l'eacher's College, Columbia University. where he could spend all his time and energy in giving intelligence and achievement tests. A In another section I saw in large letters, john Terman, greatest scient- ist in the world, makes a new discovery . By steady experiments he had discovered a tonic, designed especially to make hair grow on bald heads. The patent could not be bought at any price as he expected to need some of it himself, sometime. I looked in the educational department and saw a comment which read like this, 'Mr. Ralph Huddlestun, a noted history teacher tells how to have an all A class in United States History . His method followed: Require each pupil to keep a notebook attaining the thickness of two or three inches in a year. Each pupil should read a week at least twenty-five pages of his- tory from another book besides the text book. A term paper of from ten to twenty pages should be written and handed in. Mr. Huddlesun was able to think of such a program after his marriage and said he recommended mar- riage to anyone who thought that history gets monotonous. In the society department I noticed a paragraph saying that Mr, and Mrs. G. D. Kriegbaum had announced the marriage of their daughter, Bertha Annette, to a teacher in Purdue University. In the comic section of the paper a new cartoon had appeared called Blinky IVinky. C. V. lXIillikan's name was signed to it. I was aroused from the contents of the paper by a rustling noise made by a lady coming down the street. It was Miss Modlin. She said she was married and was living on Fifth Avenue in New York City. She asked me if I knew that Miss Cassell was head matron in a rest room, built for the use of the towns of Parker, Pennville, and Farmland. She said that the troubles of the seventh grade still weighed heavily upon her and there was fear that this worry would shorten Madgels life. My head suddenly hit the edge of the chair and I awoke to find myself still just a Senior in Chester High School, with the future before me to be Worked out by the hand of fate.

XYe first came to Chester in twenty-three. And Chester's the best school, we all agree. 'l'here's Josephine Markley, a basket ball lass, jolly, and always at the foot of the class. lna Riggs plays side center on the team, Shes small but mighty, as l s'pose you'x'e seen. Claude Dolby, girl hater, is a history shark, He'll be a Huddlestun with a Burdette to spark. Bob Burns is our red-headed lawyer-to-be, He's not wild about girls, either, Oh, no, not he. Then there's Harry Mann, a plain looking lad, XYho is not very good, nor yet Very bad. Carl Daniels, a lazy and conseienceless gent, Is always upon some mischief bent. Kenneth Shively's a fine fellow, kind and good, He attends to his lessons, as a good boy should. Our quietest boy is industrious XYin- XYendell XYilliam-you surely know him. Ruth Retz, I'll say Rastus if you don't mind it, Is quiet, but witty, if you know how to find it. Mildred Carnes is a studious lass, And the only long-haired girl in the class. Tub Huffman makes us laugh at the droll things he says He keeps Io begging him to S'plain that, plez'l, Mark Athan, we lovingly call him Mau Is good for nothing but basket ball. Bob Gilbert, the love-talker in our play, Is handsome and cute, so I've heard several say. Nat Arnold and Bob are both subs for the team, Nat's almost forgotten Florence it seems. e ' -MARY COCI-IRAN -1- ----- -L ----- -- ------- ---- -1- THE 1925 MEMENTO 4, --1--- n-----.---m-------n--n--.I-vi.-I.-n - n -1---- UI' UNIOR CLASS HI TORY The members of the Junior class came to Chester, at the beginning of their Sophomore year, from six high schools: Liberty Center, Montpelier, Petroleum, Bluffton, XVarren, and Swayzee. During the Sophomore and junior years, six members quit school, two were retained in the Sophomore class, and four new ones were added, making sixteen members in the class at the close of the Junior year. The class officers during the Sophomore year were, Robert Burns, president, Mary Cochran, vice-president, and Ina Riggs, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Huddlestun, the his- tory teacher, was class sponsor. During that year, XYilbur Pond won second place in the county stock-judging contest, and Robert Burns won fourth place. Mary Cochran won first prize on her short story in the county literary contest, and tied with Robert Burns for second place in the county scholarship contest. The class ranked high in athletics. The Soplioinore boys' basket-ball team was never defeated, and the class was also well represented on both the boys' and girls' first teams. ' The olficers during the Junior year were, Mary Coch- ran, president, -losephine Markley, yice-president, and Ina Riggs, secretary and treasurer. Miss Kreigbaum, the home economics teacher. was class sponsor. In the XYells County Street Fair at Bluffton, in the 'lunior year, Robert Burns won first prize in stock-judging, Mildred Carnes first on her cookies, and Mary Cochran first in junior Peninanship and second on her short story.

THE 1925 MEMENTO OPHQ ORE CLASS HI TGRY The Freshman class which entered Chester Center for the year 1923-24 was the first Freshman class in the history of the school. It was made up of thirty-seven boys and girls who were eager to start the four years of their high school career and who put all their life and enthusiasm into the new school. Twylo lrvin was elected president of the class, Stella Burklo, vice-president, and Paul Burns, secretary and treas- urer. Miss Mary Hlhite was chosen class sponsor. The class had just one party during the year, a weiner roast at the home of Stella Burklo. During the summer Vacation and the second year, the Sophomore class of 1925 lost twelve members and gained four, leaving twenty-nine in the class at the end of thc year. Notwithstanding the loss of a number of the members, the Class maintained its standard of school spirit through- out the year. Three of the girls played on the girl's basket ball team, and four of the boys on the boy's team. At the Bluffton Street Fair in the fall of 1924, Evelyn Perry won the first prize on her friendly letter, and Flor- ence Kimmel won second in the Sophomore writing contest The officers for the second year were, Hugh Barner, president, Paul Burns. vice-president, and XYalter Smith, Secretary and treasurer. Miss Hazel Modlin was the class sponsor. The biggest event in the Sophomore social calendar was a masquerade party on the night of October 23, at the home of Marguerite Bailey. -1- -------------- -- --------- -1- 1 1 il..-n-.n:innlnn-nn-anim.,.mi,,.1,u1.,.1.n1....1,.1,.u1.,.

Each individual communicated news to his neighbor and he in turn to those who were his neighbors, This method was very crude and the rural communities, isolated at they were. were the last to receive the news. Necessity, however, is the mother of invention, and with the rapid growth in the life and interests of the country, came the realization that a better means of communication was needed. The first step toward this end was the messenger. This method proved very inadequate, since practically the only method of travel was by horse- back. However, this was a great improvement, and led to greater ones which have followed each other in rapid succession. The steam engine was invented, railroads were built, and trains were used as a means of traveling and also of carrying mail. This was a better means of communication, making it possible for news to be carried a great distance in a comparatively short time. A-Xs a further improvement, Robert Morse. an American, developed the telegraph in 184-l, and later put it into practical use. Une great benefit de- rived from the telegraph was its use in operating the railroad lines safely and successfully. Other inventions followed quickly, such as the invention of the tele- phone by llell in 1376, which was of special benefit to merchants and in- dustry at first, but later was extended to all parts of the rural communities. Then in 1335 Marconi, an Italian, discovered that the very air could be harnessed and made a means of communication, So wireless telegraphy came into usc. Wie then considered means of communication perfect, but there is practically no limit to the developing powers of man, and a few years later, through further experimental work, the radio, with its great possibilities, was given to the world. Rural communities may now be placed instantly in touch with all great happenings and events through the use of this instrument. Through it new ideas are daily introduced, and the progress of the community is furthered accordingly. XYith a common interest, a feeling of co-operation is introduced and both civic and private conditions are improved. Of no less importance is the incstiinable value of the radio to the bus- iness of the rural district. Financial conditions and weather reports are broadcasted and are taken advantage of by up-to-date and progressive farm- er. The market reports, including thc quotation of prices in the grain and stock markets give the farmer information which enables him to dispose of his produce to the best advantage. The numerous lectures which are .g.i-n.... ..- ..-a-....- .-M- i- N- ..- ..- n-...........- - .-M... - .. -..-..-..-..... -. ....-..-...l. l THE 1925 MEMENTO 37 .g..-. -.. ---- . -..- -.........-..-W-,..-.,.......-..,-,.,,-,,.-,,.- ..,. .., .....- ...-.,.g. broadcasted by the agricultural colleges if taken advantage of by the farm- er, furnish him many new ideas and aid much in his progress. For the student of theology very inspiring sermons are broadcasted weekly, which can not but have their influence on even the most ignorant and narrow-minded person. Since every human being has a deep and in- born respect for and faith in a Supreme Being, whom we term God, these sermons are an inspiration to everyone. .-Xlthough the radio may keep some people from the church, many more are reached through it than could ever be reached through the work of the church alone. Thus the work of the church is augmented and the ministers of the Gospel reach thousands who otherwise would not hear their message. The educational value of the radio can not be over estimated. liduca- tion does not end with a diploma and much can be gained by hearing as well as seeing. Lectures by the most intelligent, best educated, broad-minded people are being sent to people who formerly have been isolated. The world of these people is made much larger and they gain a new interest in life through their close connection with other people. The radio also increases the effective radius of an individual. For example, persons having great talent, especially in music, may entertain thousands of people in one program, while formerly they could reach only a small number. Music has a great effect on the emotions of people. lt in- stills a milder, gentler, more moral and more reasonable feeling than any of the cheap pleasurers indulged in today. and it creates an elevated level of thought which can not be easily degraded by the coarser things life. XYho has not experienced the joy and happiness created by a simple little melody which carries him into the land of pleasant memories, or perhaps a grand solemn melody which fills him with a feeling of joy which he cannot explain or even comprehend, yet feels with his entire being? Perhaps the greatest value of the radio is the kind of amusement that it offers. Recreation of the right kind is needed by every one. It revives the spirit, sharpens the mind, and is a factor without which individuals are greatly handicapped in the great race of life. Today the young people es- pecially are demanding amusement and recreation, and if it cannot be found in the home or community, it will necessarily be found elsewhere, sometimes in very questionable places. In the homes of today where loud complaints arise because children show a lack of interest in the home life, in nine cases out of ten, it will be found that good wholesome entertainment is entirely lacking. The home problem, which is one of the greatest in our country today, could to a cer- tain extent be solved by the radio-because it offers wholesome and enter- taining amusement and creates a desire to stay at home and entertain in the home. Then gain, the fact that the atmosphere and characteristics of the home are probably the greatest factors in the formation of character, comes forci- bly to view. Children always reflect their environment in their characters, so, great is the influence of the refined and cultured home. 4......-.-..-.-. ------- ..-..... .. - .-.i... .---. .- -i..- - -i.-..g. 38 THE 1925 MEMENTO .pn-..-.. -------- ......-..-..--..-..-..-..-..-..-.. -------- ..-.q. So it seems that of all the discoveries and improvements of Ways of communication that have developed in all the annals of the past, that of all the science and arts, discoveries and inventions, the radio is the most wonderful and beneficial: and while it seems that the present manner of communication is perfect, the possibilities of future improvements are as great as they were in the past.

THE OLD TR ILS T VER I drove around a curve. crossed a bridge, spanning a winding mountain Stream, with weeping willows and dense undergrowth along its banks, and then squeezed between the overhanging branches of the trees on each side of the road. I stopped the car, but left the engine running, and Peg and l looked about us. Straight ahead of us a high cliff towered, and the road curved to the right around it. Farther to the right were several antique buildings-a store, a post office with the name Mineola in front, a long barn with a sign in front dubbing it a garage, and on down the hill a pic- turesque, unpainted little cabin perched on a cliff. Peg and I happened to look to the left of exactly the same moment and each of us uttered an exclamation of delight and admiration. XYe were both charmed with the lovely picture that greeted our eyes. Nestled against the hillside was a quaint old tavern, with the verdant mass of trees and bushes for a background. :X broad veranda ran around three sides of the white struc- ture, which faced the cliff. A quaint sign, hanging out in front, showed that the inn had been appropriately named. It read, Old Trails Tavern . Beyond the house was a winding lane, with grass growing between the tracks which led to a big white house high up on the hill, among big oak trees, The tavern was right on the edge of the stream, and was three stories high on that side, while on the east side, next to the hill, only two stories rose above the veranda. Oh, Mary Elizabeth! said Peg, let's stop here for the night. This is such a lovely, romantic old place, and I'd love to sit in one of those porch swings after dinner, when the moon comes out. 4........--.---- ---- ------ - ----------...-ug. 40 THE 1925 MEMENTO -x-H--I ---- ---- - --I---1-----H--H---1--H------I--I--- - - - - - - -----+ XNell, we'll see if they have room for us, I answered as I turned drove up in front of the Old Trails Tavern, and stopped. I turned the switch key and leaped to the ground. I had been spokesman through out our west- f ern trip, so I ran up the steps and into the lobby. It was nicely furnished in browns and tans, and leather upholstery. A Yictrola stood in one corner, and while I talked to the proprietor a young man put a record on it, and several couples danced. I noticed a dignified, handsome, elderly lady with beautiful snowy hair and a sad, sweet face, sitting in a secluded corner. She looked like one who had suffered much. The proprietor of the tavern said we could put our coupe in the barn- like garage across the way. I went out and told Peg, and she took the car over to the garage while I carried our luggage up to our room. XYhen she returned we changed from our knickers to light summer dresses. Then we went down and sat on the cool veranda until dinner. The dining room was in the basement. Cn the west side of the room were broad low windows, over-looking the infant river, while on the east there were a few tiny, narrow windows, high up in the wall. The large, light, pleasant room contained only small tables. The white-haired, sad-faced woman sat at the table next to ours, and I sat facing her. Several times I caught her looking intently, although not rudely, at me. After dinner Peg and I sat in a porch swing in a secluded part of the veranda, and listened to the dreamy Yictrola music, to which a dozen couples danced on the veranda. The romantic atmosphere and the couples strolling in the moonlight made Peggy long for Jim, back in Indiana, and she soon announced her intention of retiring. I accompanied her to the foot of the stairs. As I started back to my swing Mr. Stovall, the proprietor, stopped me and introduced mc to the sad-faced lady, Mrs. Grant, who begged me to talk to her. XYe went out to the swing and she began. XYhat is your first name, my dear? she asked. I 'told her, and she continued. You look very much like one who was very dear to me. I have never felt more like confiding in anyone, I suppose it is because of the re- semblance. I have livcd a sad life, my dear. I'll begin at the beginning. My parents were wealthy society people. and lived in Philadelphia. I was pampered and petted when I was a child, and I was taught to believe myself superior to any other child, I became very vain and incorrigible. My parents would not allow me to associate with young people, especially boys, even after I was seventeen, so I be- gan to slip away from home, after night, and go to cabarets and cheap dance halls with other spoiled rich children, who were run down in mind and body because of rich food, cigarettes, and wrong environment. I had a darling sister who wassweet and innocent. She was three years yonger than I, but she was so small and doll-like that she seemed much younger. I had never had a deep love except that for my beautiful sister Edith. I could not love my parents. I did not know them well enough. 'lOne night I became angry with Edith for she had dared to ask me 4..-.l --------------.- -- ..-....... ,.-..l.

I was nineteen then, and she was sixteen, but as innocent and ignorant as a babe, I decided to initiate her into the gay night life I was used to. I tricked her. I got her into the sunken gardens of our home, and then two of my boy friends slipped np and gagged her and carried her away. XYhen next I saw her, she came on the dance floor with Roderick, the meanest crook in our gay throng. The rest of the evening was a nightmare to me. I saw Roderick whisper flattery into her ear as they danced, and I saw that she was believing all he said, and that she was becoming enamored with his charms. She listened to him with a pleased, rapt expression. When they stopped dancing. I saw them go to a table where wine and cigaretts were to be had. I was terror-stricken for a moment as I saw Roderick offer Edith a glass of heady wine. She hesitated, and then smiling into his eyes, she gulped it down. :X few moments later I saw her gleefully attempting to smoke. I resolved that I would never go to another dance hall or cabaret, and that I would never touch an intoxicating drink or a cigarette again, but it was too late. The next night I stayed at home and Iidith slipped away to meet Roderick. I shall tell the rest briefly, Mary. Edith finally eloped with him. They left town that night with the police hot on their trail. Roderick was wanted for a ten thousand dollar robbery. Two days later they found them in an empty farm house. Roderick had a revolver clutched in his dead hand, and Editlfs dress above her heart was dyed with blood. Troubles never come singly. I married a poor man, whom I did not love, and who knew nothing of my past. Two years later our baby died, and our common sorrow helped us discover that we loved each other. But just as I was becoming to be happy for the first time in my life I lost all I had left to live for. My husband was killed by a train, and I was heart broken. I traveled in Europe for several years, but I eraved solitude, and on the advice of Mr. Stovall I came here to these quiet foothills, and built that white house on the hill yonder. I have lived in comparative content- ment, for I have made my peace with God, and am ready to die. I look for- ward with longing to the day when I can leave this world and join my three loved ones on the other shore. That night it stormed. It was the worst storm I had ever seen. Thunder fumbled and lightning flashed continuously. I could hear trees crashing to the ground. I thought of Mrs. Grant, alone in her big white house. -lust before daybreak I fell asleep. XYhen I awoke the sun was high in the heavens. I looked through a window and was shocked to see nothing but chaos everywhere. The stream was swollen, and the hill strewn with broken or up-rooted trees. Peg had been down stairs and just then she ran in. Uh, Mary! she exclaimed. Do you remember that sweet, old, white' haired lady that was here last night? You know she lives in that iwhite house on the hill. They found her a moment ago under the big tree out there, crushed to death by a huge branch which had fallen on her. 4...-... ---------- I -- ------.-----.--- i.-iq. mmmqwEm13uvqmWWiQmQnQ1uaan 1 w f win 1 N , 9 5 THE 1925 MEMENTO -1- ------- --------------------------------U ------ - 4- IS THERE ANOTHER IN SCHOOL WHO CAN: Argue like ......,.,,. ......,..........

B lary Cochran SYNOPSIS Bill Haily objects to the efforts of his wealthy and youthful Uncle -lim- mie to mate him with Mab, a sweet but quiet girl whom Uncle Jimmie has selected for a niece-in-law. The uncle has promised to leave part of his fortune to Bill if he will marry as instructed and part of it to a prize-fighter. Battling Bennie Bozo, if Bennie remains unmarried. Bill's sister, Lil, seeks to have her brother marry Mab and plots to make him tired of his romantic desire for a motion picture bride. So Lil gets her school friend, Patricia, to visit their home in the guise of a motion picture star, and Patricia loses little time in ensnaring the hearts of all the boys. Bill so completely loses his head over her that he takes money from Uncle limmics trunk to make an impression on the movie queen . The theft is discovered, and Mab, knowing who took the money, pleads guilty to save Bill. Patricia adroitly saves the situation, but by this time Bill is not so enamored with the dashing visitor and in remorse fully begins to appreciate Mab. It develops that while flirting with the others, Patricia has confessed her identity to Uncle Jimmie, and she brings a sudden end to her flirtation by announcing the marriage of the two, while the other romances are settled in equally satisfactory fashion. SENIOR CLASS GR MBLER Every one thinks that it is a wonderful achievement to become a Sen- ior. VVel1, we will acknowledge that it is a great time when we receive our -1-1---i ---------------- -- -----... - -...-iq. 46 THE .l......-..-..- - .- .-...-..- -..-....... diplomas, but we certainly earn to do. We have to set an example on we are not allowed to chew 1925 MEMENTO -........-..-..-..-.......-...-..-........-..-..-. -..-..-.q. them by the amount of work that we have for all the underclassmen and for this reas- gum or eat candy in school, or we are not allowed to stand and gossip in the halls. Neither are we allowed to mark on the desks or whisper in class. The Juniors surely think they are the one and only class in school. They deem it their duty to order the Seniors around. Almost every day they chase them out of one room or another so they may make plans for the re- ception. But we're Seniors so we don't dare complain. The Freshies are also a very unruly class because they are always ask- ing advice of thc Sophomores instead of us, when we are supposed to be the real examples. They never pay us the respect that is due Seniors. They never rise when we enter the room, and the boys never doff their caps to us. Ch, well, we are Seniors and we can stand it. Mr. Mounsey excuses us from class with a written excuse which we receive only after a long consultation and cross-examination. Mr. Millikan certainly takes the prize when it comes to law and order. He is always putting up little slips of white paper on which are written a lot of new rules for us to obey. Oh, what a life! Mr. Huddlestun is the most sympathic of all the teachers. He springs those surprise tests on us in Civics when we are not expecting them-and the grades we make are remarkable. Miss Modlin pities the Seniors because we have to work so hard and tries to make things easy for us. She never assigns more than three chap- ters in English and American Literature , and she never makes us memor- ize more than three poems a week. But of course since we're Seniors, we have the ability to do a lot of work. Miss Kriegbaum is very generous with her Home Economics tests. When we ask if there is a choice of questions she says, Yes, you may chose all of them. But this doesn't add much to our overworked brain. XVe've been given a work out since Mr. Terman resigned. Mr. Castell in his vain effort to teach us something firmly believes that we are too dumb to learn to even keep both eyes open when we look through a microscope. Miss Cassell's favorite resort is the deportment book, 5'?? off for an extra touch of rouge, lO'!? for lip stick, ZOW for even looking in the rest room. In order to make matters more complicated, Mrs. Bangs comes every Tuesday and Thursday and tries to teach us to sing. But she has found that we are past that stage. But we should Worry! So you can see that Seniors cause we have to take the good the As But anyway we receive a few honors as we name of Dignified Seniors . do not have such a snap of it after all, be- along with the bad, and the F's along with go along and go by the v!u:nu- 1 -uni 1 1.11 -u -nn1vm1nn1nn-:n-:u.--qu-un-lu-lu-In1nu1ln-nn1uu1uu-uu1un1uu1uf.

LOQL FRESHMAN WEINER ROAST Early in October, the Freshies enjoyed a party at the home of Miss Della McCullick, a member of the class. After playing several games at the house. the party proceeded to the woods and roasted weiners. SOPI-lONlORE MASQUE RADE PARTY The Sophomore class was delightfully entertained by Miss Marguerite Bailey, a member of the class. at her home, October 27. The house was very appropriately decorated for the occasion. The evening was spent in playing games. contests. and music. Refreshments were served to the fol- lowing: Miss Hazel Modlin, class sponsor, Rosamond XValter, Florence Kimmel, Mae Smith, Marguerite Twibel. Hazel Mowrey, Juanita Swartz, Evelyn Perry, Naoma XValter, Tess and Marguerite Bailey, XValter Smith. Hugh Barner, Arnet Meade, Roland Clark, Paul Burns, Clyde Carnes. Secil Biggs, Lawrence Buckley, and XYaldo Hailey. COMMUNITY l-IALLOWE 'EN PARTY On the twenty-ninth of October, 1924, one of the largest parties that ever celebrated All Hallow's Eye in this community was enjoyed by over three hundred guests. old and young, in the gymnasium. The gymnasium was decorated with colors in keeping with the season. Yellow and black streamers which extended from the center of the ceiling to the sides of the walls, the black cats and witches against the white back- ground of the walls, and the hideously grinning pumpkin faces, partly con- cealed by shocks of fodder in the large dimlv lighted room, created an at- mosphere of ghostliness and make a fascinating background for the masked figures who moved silently in and out escorted by white-robed ghosts. At nine o'clock a grand march was formed, led by Miss Ruth Ann XVor- ster, dressed in a white duck suit and making a yery charming boy, accom- panied by Robert Gibert. the fond mother of a very small baby which he carried in his arms. A prize was awarded to Miss Helen Lewis who was chosen as the prettiest of the masqueraders and to Mr. Norman Cecil who was chosen as the ugliest. Weird, fascinating music peryaded the rooms and halls throughout the the evening. Games and contests, in which some of the guests participated. were also enjoyed by those who were spectators. either from choice or be- cause they could not find room to perform. Later in the evening lunch was served which was also symbolic of the occasion. It consisted of sandwiches, pickles, pumpkin pie, and coffee. alq1nn1nn 11111-111 1111 ' 1 1 -- ::111111 lu:-Il-OI-Quin - ' I IK-118'-MQWJ'--L 'v W P , , ' , Q 1155, , I., ' . ., A -I , 'f Kg' '-'4 If I ' f - ji ' L 31 . 4. 1 ., . 1, 'G' ,, I A 5 I kg. 59 :G ' I v 5 ff . if 3 I' J'-I6 4' , - ' - , ., ,. , . , . 4 -. ,' WH- a ,n, .. , . - f 1 IW 0.

The bob sled, which was furnished and engineered by Nelson Huffman, made several stops and each time received one or two more passengers, fin- ally there were eleven in all. XYhen they arrived in Montpelier, Miss Krieg- baum, the class sponsor, took the party to the show. The entire class was not permitted to be present, some were ill and some had to practice basket ball. Those who enjoyed the evening were, Miss Modlin, Miss Kriegbaum, Mary Cochran, Ruth Kennedy. Ruth Retz, lna Riggs, Claude Dolby, Nelson Huffman, Carl Daniels, Harry Mann, and Wilbur Pond. SENIOR CLASS PARTY One of the closing events of the school year of 1924-'25 was a party at the home of Miss Catherine Starr. The Seniors and Faculty were entertained on the evening of St. Patricks Day. The house was decorated with green crepe paper and shamrock leaves A small flag of Ireland was pinned on each guest upon his arrival. The entertainment consisted of games contests and music. The first was a culinary contest which tested the ability of the sense of smell. Prizes of green sticks of candy were awarded to the winners, Ruth Ann XYorster and Ethel Ladd. In the Flat Head contest each of the boys placed a small potatoe on his head and marched around the room until it fell off. One by one the racers dropped out leaving Mr. Mounsey and Mr. Huddlestun in the finals. Then Mr. Mounsey's treachery in trying to rest on the job gave the prize to Mr. Huddlestun. It was a green stiff hat. For the next contest, the girls were blindfolded and each tried her luck in dropping po- tatoes into a quart jar which was placed on the floor. Miss Bertha Krieg- baum was the winner of this contest and received a green candle. Menu booklets made of the class colors, green and silver, were given each guest. Fictitious names of eatables were written in these menus, and each one had a choice of ten out of twenty things for the first course. The second course consisted of green and white ice creaim and white cake. A vote was taken to determine who had acted the greenest during the evening, and Carrie Kimmel! received the highest number of votes. She was awarded a green horn. Several Irish songs were sung, with Mrs. Bangs presiding at the piano. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Mounsey, Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Millikan, Mr. Ralph Huddletun, Miss Hazel Modlin, Miss Bertha Kriegbaum Miss Madge Cassell, Burdette Cole, Carrie Kimmel, Ruth Ann XYorster, Elizabeth Burns, Yolanda Perry, Ethel Ladd, Yera Pinney, Ruby Grove.
