 T H F. 19 2 3 ORANGE AND BLACK r5 (Commencement I. Dear school, farewell! Classmates, we depart. Feeling all our battles won; And yet deep down in our heart. We know that they just have begun. For many of us, school days end; But wherever we choose to go. C. H. S. will be our friend. That, we will always know. II. Tis difficult to think we’re on the brink. Of life's great surging mass; But if sorrow we drink, and down we sink. We'll think of our good old class. Then fear and gloom we'll banish. Unhappiness and woe; As we think of a class in Spanish, Or maybe Cicero. III And when on a dim future day. We chance an old classmate to meet; We’ll discuss some high school play. Or perhaps an athletic feat. And before we part and turn to go. Each on his separate way; Both must needs his ring to show. And cheer for Maroon and Grey. IV And now, as we’re going to leave. There’s much that we’d like to say; About all that we want to achieve And all that we wish to repay, To the school that has guided us far. Toward the goal we hope to attain; May its memory be a beckoning star. As in the field of life we train. — Marietta Elizabeth Bode. [ 2(1 i

H E ,.ra --- 5 ORANGE AND BLACK Senior Qlass History in the year 1921 we entered F. C. H. S. eighty strong now, in 1925, we are leaving it only fifty in number but a wiser and older class. In our Freshman year we did as all Freshmen do, worked a little, played a little and suffered a great deal under the attacks of upper classmen. As Sophomores we shouldered our responsibilities and loyally supported our school, one proof of this being that we sold more football tickets than any other class in an inter-class campaign. Uhlig was our only representative this year in athletics. And then we were Juniors. Uhlig and Bunch represented us on the football squad and Uhlig in basketball. Marian Camblin and Opal Mullens were from our class in girls' basketball. Our “Evnin’ of Plum was just what its name suggests and enabled us to speed the parting Seniors on their way with one of the best banquets ever given in Falls City High School. This year, too, we bought our rings and pins which we all think the best ever. And then we attained that highest pinnacle of distinction we were Seniors the most wise and learned of all worldly beings. We had Bunch, Uhlig. Hilgenfeldt, Hoppe, Gwinn and Margrave on the football team and Uhlig. Bunch, Keller, Mulligan and Gwinn on the basketball team, furnishing captains for both. In girls' basketball Marian Camblin, Helen Brown, Gladys Morris and Frances Preusse made their letters with Marian as captain. We had active members in all the school undertakings, the characters in the Glee Club Operetta were from our class. We chose “Come Out of the Kitchen ’ for our play and it was successfully given May 20, the proceeds from it being dedicated as a memorial gift to the Orange and Black staff. We were represented on the stall' by Mary Morgan, editor-in-chief, Joseph Miles, business manager, William Margrave, humor editor, and Faye Woods, Senior representative. —F. W„ ’25. Two of I as I
