They lost ll 1 only two games during the entire season. This year the enrollment reached ,W ,N i 1592 pupils. The Golf Club was organized and made a good record. The ,, debating and declamation teams did splendidly. Mr. Parker went to Cincin- 3,1 l nati to represent Forest at the National Fducational Association, which met to ,N discuss educational problems in the high schools. The baseball team won the l ' city championship, and the track and relay, and basketball teams did fine work. lg, 1 No school could have begun a year more gloriously than did Forest in 1925. ,N 3 l 1, For the first time in the history of the school the football team won the city I lf championship and the district championship, and lost only the final game for the W 1 State championship. The Journalism Classes won the Journal Jr. Cup at the li l X 1 State Fair, and the R. O. T. C. Band, under the leadership of Walter Ewell, , il l won the Sousa Cup. The basketball team was delayed in starting practice, due to i' Y 1 ,N the prolonged football season, but showed up unusually well. ,N 1 ,l, During the years of Forest Avenue High Schoolls existence the school has , , ' li stood for the highest ideals in every Held of activity, from athletics to scholar- ll' 3,, ship. VVhether winning or losing, the students have proved loyal on every tl, xl occasion, and never has the Green and VVhite gone down in the dust in the hearts X ' of the students. By this spirit Forest has Won a great name for itself, not only in il , Dallas but in this and other states. We hope that in the future the school will '12, l 1 keep up the good work that has been started and carried out for the past years. , 9 ix 1 it . 2 , l ig l 1 s Il , l 33 A-J.
