eff Lily! Ilforo' From the Sefziors It is customary for the Seniors to speak a word of farewell. and perhaps give a little advice to those who stay behind. Four years we have labored together, sharing our work, our pleasures and a few sorrows. Most of us can look back over our high school days with pride and have the thought that we have done our best. Our class, as a whole, is one which will not soon be for- gotten. NYe have entered into activities of our school zeal, doing all that was possible to keep alive file needed pep and spirit. WVe have been represented in oratory, music and athletics. And what is more important. we have a large number of honor students to prove that we have not forgotten the purpose of school. These lines from the Psalm of Life to express our sentiments: And departing, leaves behind us. Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints, that perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main: A forlorn and footsore brother. Seeing shall take heart again. To those who are left to follow in our footsteps we wish the best of luck. May they strive to attain the high places, and may they succeed. Let them try to keep dear old C H. S. from sinking into the ranks of a common place school: keep her sailing proudly. triumphantly. ahead of the rest-a school to be envied and honored for her talent, her sportsman- ship, and her high ideals. 53 4 , ,,4c'f1'f ' W SY' it ,,.... 1 X ..., 5 fzafzge 1.11 Our Hzgh School in the Tas! Years No doubt the greatest change in our High School has come through the change of appearance. Recall the number of girls, when our Senior class started our career. with bobbed hair. Or just for another diversion think of the boys in long trousers. NYell. we all agree that it doesn't take much of our time. , Again, there has been a great change in our faculty. Some of the faculty that the class of '26 were first directed under. have entered into the matrimonial sea. others 'are still starting Freshmen out on their gay career. Another change we can all be proud of is the change in our school building. If only our wonderful gym had been added we would have a right to feel proud, but several new and spacious class rooms have been added, and also a hall. not so dark as the otherg for no doubt all Freshmen had the same feeling of terror as we. when we passed through its gloomv recesses. Our curriculum has also been enlarged during our high school career. Convoy has a course in its school that anv school its size can well be proud off Perhaps the best of these and the ones of most interest to the boys and girls is the manual training and home ec courses. Also there has been a change in the recreational life of the school. Four years have shown a marked increase manifested in basketball. The interest shown toward baseball and football is also increasing. The success of our teams has partially been on account of added athletics equip- ment. This year the picture shows. being introduced. have presented a new form of wholesome entertainment. Not only the intellectual side of the pupil's life is cared for. but with the introduction of Bible training in the school the spiritual side has been increased. W'ith our large gym and start toward playground equipment and our numerous' sports we have a good chance toward physical development. If the name of Convoy High School is carried on with the zeal experienced during the past four years. every graduate can well be proud of his Alma Hater. . 24

Hifiory of 615155 of 426 In September, 1922. a group of light, aspiring and eager youngsters, not lacking the greenness characteristic of such classes, registered as Freshmen in C. H. S. We were not long, however, in acquainting ourselves with the strange surroundings and in a few weeks began school life in earnest. It was with much pride and dignity that we announced the result of our first class meeting, which was as follows: Presi- dent, Martha Stogdill: vice-president, Ezra Klinger: secretary-treasurer, Lela Reid- enbach. The first social event in which we participated was the banquet given us by the Sophomores. Vifhile Freshmen, we gave two delightful parties. one a Halloween. the other a bob-sled party. Our battle with Latin, English and Algebra was not so difficult as we had expected, and after the Iinal exams, victory reigned, we proclaimed ourselves Sophomores. Entering the Sophomore class somewhat decreased in number but still possessed with the same loyalty and enthusiasm we elected Ernest Harper, president: Evelyn Reidenbach, vice-president: Catherine Dauler, secretary: Otis Bricker, treasurer. In order to make the acquaintance of our new teachers and classmates a weiner roast was held four miles east of Convoy in a grove. On November 9th we initiated the Freshies at the annual Freshman-Sophomore banquet. The literary societies gave us the opportunity to display our various talents. XYe were also represented in the County Eisteddfod and Spelling Contest. Sadly, we realized that just half our High School days were over, after completing a most successful year as Sophomores. YVith renewed hopes and high ambitions we began our third year under the lead- ership of the following officers: President, VVayne Helms: vice-president, Inas Gard- ner: secretary, Hazel jones: treasurer, Evelyn Reidenbach. On Halloween we were entertained at an old-fashioned barn party given at the home of Inas Gardner. From parties we turned toward more serious things. In March. we gave, with. the help of the faculty and other classes, the most successful event of the season-the minstrel show. XfVho can forget the darkies of this occasion. This tinanced us in giving one of the most elaborate Junior-Senior banquets ever witnessed in C. H. S. As graduation drew near we were saddened by the fact that the class of '25 would no longer occupy the favored seats in the assembly or be seen talking in the halls. Our duty, then, was to take their place and accomplish our tasks with the same zeal and willingness which characterized them. Our Junior year was ended by taking a never- to-be-forgotten trip to Hamilton Lake. Once more we stepped into C. H. S.. but this time under the dignified title of Seniors. VVe came determined to make things go and set a standard which the other classes might follow. The otiicers elected were: VVilbur Pancake. president: Lela Reidenbach, vice-president: Inas Gardner, secretary: lfrances Mowry. treasurer. VVe were represented on the varsity team by three letter men and on the girls' team by three members of the Senior class. Everyone remembers the many banquets given in honor of our athletes. Being a very busy class with work on the Bellerophon. class play and other activities we had little time for parties. Vnder the direction of the Senior class a series of moving pictures were shown which enabled us to put out a bigger and better annual. Our success, in all that we tried to do, we partly attribute to the help and splendid advice of the faculty, especially Mr. Davis, our sponsor, since we were Sophomores. At last came the hardest thing of all-graduation. It was in the Baccalaureate sermon and commencement that we realized our motto, Not Eve- ning-but Dawn, and inspired us to use to a greater extent the knowledge acquired at dear old C. H. S. 2 .3
