Class Poem HEN the summer time was ending, In the year of twenty-four, Many footsteps then were wending Towards the open High School door. Gone the light days of vacation, Gone the idle, foolish fun, Then we all were on probation. Earnest work time had begun. Three long years we’d toiled together From beginning to the end. Whether dark or sunny weather, Each to other was a friend. I, Then we gathered in September For the fourth one and the best. Determined always to remember That our class should lead the rest. Every dream has proved a vision; We’ve pressed forward, on and on; We fought our battles with precision ’Til we saw commencement dawn. Paused at last upon the threshold We were saddened then to find There was alloy in our bright gold, Rue was mingled with our wine. i From our teachers and our schoolmates, Whom we honor and adore, We must go when duty dictates, Go away, to come no more. But our dear old Alma Mater From a distance we’ll recall. In our memory we can see her, Every classroom, every hall. Now the outside world has called us, We are glad to be alive— Work and victory still awaits us— The Senior Class of ’25. —TERA BYRD, Class Poet. L

farm. As I turned one of the dials slightly, another broadcasting station broke in” and I heard the announcer say, “—and we will now be favored with a talk on “The Recent Developments in Football” by Mr. Harvie Jack- son, now coaching at Harvard.” This last station was located on the Har- vard College Grounds. I was surprised to hear that Joanna Rawls was starring in basketball at Harvard. Garie Smith had just been elected Assistant Teacher of Psychology and Director of Girls’ Athletics. At this time I was beginning to think I would hear nothing of Lamar Edwards, Mavis Caldwell and Marguerite Hildreth, but upon tuning in on a station in Nebraska, I learned that Lamar was becoming famous in his research work in unearthing history about the first settlers of the West. Mar- guerite, having becoming rich by virtue of marriage, had established a big institute for girls and gave a splendid talk on her work and her accom- plishments. Mavis Caldwell, the society favorite and club promoter, dis- cussed plans for better clubs for women throughout America. So ends my prophecy of the Class of ’25. Let us hope that nothing contained in the above will happen, for should we all rise to fame and for- tune, things would not revolve in their natural state. However, we do hope that each member of the Class who leaves the dear old school will bring credit and honor to the C. C. H. S. even though his deeds are small and may seem worthless in the sight of others. —BERTA SAGER, Class Prophet. Class Song (Tune: Chorus of “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi”) H! Alma Mater High School dear, We hate to say good-bye. We’ve pledged to you our loyalty. Abroad your colors we’ll fly. We’ll ever love you when we’re gone And strive to do the right, The school of our youth Standing for highest truth, C. C. H. S., the blue and white. We’ll love our class of ’25 For all we’ve ever done, For the spirit, love, and loyalty Shown by everyone. We’ve worked to give the best we've had; Toward higher goals we’ll strive With hearts light and gay We honor today The Class of ’25! ♦

Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1925 THE STATE OF ALABAMA, COFFEE COUNTY. j We, the Graduating Class, of the Coffee County High School, of 1925, being of sound mind and generous nature, realizing the uncertainty of life, and the certainty of death, and that we are subject at any moment to be called from our earthly habitation to that Celestial Home above, do hereby make and publish this, our last Will and Testament, revoking all former wills heretofore made by us. Item I We do will and bequeath to our most beloved Faculty: The right to give to future classes the zeros which they have lavished on us, and the right of supreme rule over the Study Hall, thereby extract- ing all chewing gum and other causes of disturbance, from wayward pu- pils. To our beloved Principal, Mr. Snuggs, a man of great character and much ability, we leave our love, honor, respect, and best wishes. To Coach Johnson, a man of great ability in playing and coaching football, we'leave all hard-won honors in football. To our consecrated English teacher, Miss Smith, we leave the right to use all ideas, received from us concerning Lit- erature, in her future English work. To Miss Burdette, our painstaking Chemistry teacher, all knowledge and startling facts obtained through the performance of experiments, trusting that in the future, Science may profit by them. To Miss Griffin, our brilliant and beloved Latin teacher, we leave all prose compositions that we have produced, hoping that she may find rare entertainment concealed in same. To Miss Lewis, our His- tory teacher, we will our Library, consisting of nine “Review of Reviews,” one “American History,” and one “Government in State and Nations.” To Mrs. Johnson, we will a whole book of Cartoons. Item II We do hereby will and bequeath to the Class of ’26, our “best.” This includes our propensities for solving hard problems, accomplishing praise- worthy results in all our classes, co-operating heartily with our beloved faculty, and making Coffee County High the school it is today. We trust Shakespeare did not have us in mind when he said, “The evil that men do. lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Item III We do hereby give and bequeath to the Sophomores, deservedly named “wise fools,” part of our dignity and the right to occupy the important place of our proud, conceited Junior Class.
