HISTORY OF THE YEAR History repeats itself, it is said. That is true, but it does not repeat itself to the same generation. Those experiences which occurred to the classes last year, the year before, and back unto the beginning have been entirely new to us and are our dearest and sweetest memories. On September 8, the school entered upon one of its most auspicious years. The classes elected officers at once and prepared for the many coming activities. Booster Week beginning October 5, instituted for the purpose of stimulat- ing pride in Kokomo, was observed. Several students spoke in the local theatres during the week, and at Booster convocation lVlr. George Freeman, Mr. Caylor, our new music instructor, Wayne Tolle, Harriet Gross, and Lowell Fawcett aroused enthusiasm by their talks. On October 2 the class of '25 presented the high school with a valuable oil painting by an lndiana artist, Edward R. Sitzman. The Hi-Y gave a play, A'Snappy Arrives. on October Zl, and on October 31 they gave their celebrated annual Mystery Ramble. Our second Homecoming came on November 7: and after a victorious game which ended a brilliant football season, we honored the football team and the alumni with a banquet at the Masonic Temple. On November 25 all joyfully dispersed for the two days Thanksgiving vacation. The Hi-Y boys attended the State Y. M. C. A. Conference at Anderson November 27, and out of more than a thousand delegates Wayne Tolle was elected state secretary. During the fall we enjoyed many interesting convocations. On October 7 the Little Symphony Orchestra of Chicago gave a concert: November 10 the Dramatic Club gave a play entitled Sauce for the Goslingsn which depicted the ridiculous usage of slang: on December 3, Charles Brandon Booth addressed the students: and on December 7, the Reverend Murray S. Kenworthy spoke, telling of conditions in Russia. The last day before Christmas vacation, in order to inspire us with the true holiday spirit, we had a varied program which included a film, The Christmas Carol, and a play presented by the Dramatic Club, 'fWhy the Chimes Rang. In the evening the girls' gym classes gave a play in keeping with the season. lt was a wonderful vacation and we were loath to see it pass, but we soon settled down to hard work once more. Our annual Hello Week, sponsored by the Student Council, began February 7 and many were the acquaintances made with the aid of various contests. A special event was arranged for each day. The week began and ended with a convocation. On Lincoln's birthday we were honored by having several of the few remaining Civil War Veterans with us, who gave patriotic talks. Pg!
