, El... CLASS POEM continued Elizabeth Baird and Catharine Crager Are our Commercial sharks, And if you don't believe it, Look at their report-card marks. Fleet of foot, and light as a fairy Is Dorothy Campbell, so gay and merry. Theo Sheerer and Catherine McKeeban Come from up the line, If the whole citv is like these two, We think McVeytown is fine. Pauline Sigler is a lover of time, She loves the years, the months, the days, But we believe that of them all She really does prefer the Mayes, Lavinia hails from old Bucknell, She's been with us but two short years, But since first we heard her merry laugh We've had no time for idle tears. Helen Harding has a failing For a certain place called State And we know that Mary Peters For the same place has no hate. Sara Shotzbarger and Mildred Shimp Believe in having their share of fun, And quite frequently they do not wait Until teachers say their work is done. We'll drink to our Valedictorian To Rose Simon we'll take our next sip, Tho' she spent most of her time in studying For her class she did more than her bit. Elizabeth Reed and Eleanor Bell Are maidens so shy and demure, But once you learn to know them You'll love them, I'm quite sure. B,ossy Glaser once hailed from Tech, And a jolly good fellow is he, As jolly, in fact, as a Tech athlete Is always bound to be. Bud played on the Senior Team With their six moral victories, And at selling candy he's a shark, As polite and nice as you please. Edna Fetterolf and Kathryn Dagnell Are the shyest of all shy girls If you'd hear them and not see them You'd surely expect dimples and curls. Charlie Stumpfl' is our all-round athlete A man of fame and renown. One whose name has met honor and prise In many a city, village and town. Nelson, Everett, Buzz and Milo Are all Commercial men, Who aim some day to earn a living With a typewriter and a pen. Get thee behind me, Satan, Stoutly says little Joe For he's bound to be trapped by a lady No matter where he may go. Little Red and Big Red Howe Come from a sleepy little town But if they ever do wake up We believe they'll turn things upside down Gladys, Dorothy, Gertrude and Eleanor, Are all society misses, But desipte the fact they are so sedate f?J They are not averse to kisses! J. I. Thomas and Melvin Smith, Jr., Aim to be men some day, And tho' not much progress has been made They are headed in that way. Pauline Forsythe and Edith Gerhart Have well their class and school And we will ne'er forget them For they lived by the Golden Rule. Mary Beasley proved a wonder In our money making schemes, For the cash which she turned in Made our faces fairly beam. Thelma Gates is a good little girl, But then, why shouldn't she be? If we had a minister's son for guardian Perhaps now so should we. Walter is a regular man Strong as he can be! And he is handsome, Ladies? Well, I guess, yes sirree! Mary Dippery and Charlotte Forsythe Are tiny, we know 'tis true, But with the push they've got They're bound to go right through. Thelma, Helen Bryant and Anita Are studious HJ as can be But don't be surprised, dear friends, If a powder puff you see. Joe Stumff works for a druggist, Of cosmetics he would know But why YOU'D care about them We just can't fathom, Joe. Now this is the end of my toast, friends, Raise up your glasses so bright, Drink to them one and all, so gay, We're seventy-eight tonight. U57

.,. .... .11 2 i 1 CLASS POEM 5 Come, drink a toast to my classmates, Drink to the large and the small, Drink to the members of '25, The class that's loved by all. Of our President, Lynn, I can say nothing That might be deemed too good, For he has led our class on As only Lynn Freed could. I know our Vice President, Stella, Won't take it as an intended slam If I tell you in strictest confidence That she's mighty fond of Sam, So we'll drink to them both, my friends, We'll drink to them both together, And we'll Wish them the best of luck In fairest and foulest weather. To Soup who was trusted with our cash And bravely stood the test, We're going to donate, with our best wishes, A pension and a much-needed rest. To find another girl like our Mary, We'd have to look everywhere, For as Secretary we've had her best, In fact, we've had more than our share. O, yonder sits a young man, Chem Cressman Who's always so quiet and shy, So to make him feel quite at home We'll not raise our glasses so high. Bob Cupples, a nice shy chap, Although he is very well known, We wonder why he always has Such a love for the telephone? O, dainty Happer, looking so sweet, You do not look in vain, For once one looks at Cargie, One is bound to look again. Thomas Ulsh, my friends, is here! A man of brains as Well as brawng Happy be the lucky lady Thomas ever smiles upon. VVhen the Gods were in a genial mood, Showering gifts on us below They sent to us our Dottie Stutts With her voice so soft and low. Light as the breeze on a summer day, There is one here tonight, To Helen Riden, the best of friends, Our friendship now we plight. O, Winnie, we know a secret 'bout you, A secret to you sweet and dear, We know your name won't be McBride When you've seen another year. The voice of a Harper enchants my ear, So I'll list to my Harper boy, Whom have we heard saying that? Of course, it's Addie McCoy. The fashion plate of old L. H. S.! 55 Stand back 'till my lady goes by! We'll always know the latest from Paris, At least, 'till Rose Hayman must die. Helen Price and Esther Montgomery Live on the same old street And as for a pair of fast friends They simply can't be beat. Thelma and Izzy are studious girls. They wouldn't look at the boys! They're just as quiet as they can be- 'Cept when they're making a noise. Jeanne loves to drive a Cadillac And, believe me, she does it too, But you'd better mind your P's and Q's Or she might run over you! A firm little girl if there ever was, When he's mine I say he's mine. And I'm telling you she means it, too, Her name is Miss Mary Nein. The talent that is in our class We will include in our toast, For the fact that we've Puss and Joey Is enough to make anyone boast. Catherine and Lois are friends tried and true. If e're we need help, we'll call on these two. A jolly good friend is Hucky, our athlete, In our sports, very few with her can com- pete. John Geiger and Merrill Fisher Have served well on our Lore staff, But despite their business ability They are always ready to laugh. To Leon Ford, the worthy Captain Of our Champion Basket Ball team, He has found a corner in our hearts And ranks high in our esteem. Dorothy Miller took a leading role In our most successful class play: And to tell vou she's a talented actress Is the very least we can say. Anita Knepp and Helen Bowersox Say they don't care for men, But every time a boy comes 'round- Well, you just watch them then. Malcolm is our Council President, Order is his middle name, If he were only Irish As a policeman he'd win fame. Lettie Naylor comes from Mount Rock Walks every step of the whole way, But she says the eH'ort's worth it, 'Cause she's learning every day.

E History of the Graduating Class of 1925 we , OUR years have passed and gone since the class of 1925 first iii entered the portals of Old L. H. S. These years have been gg- crowded with important events. Joy,sorrow, victory, defeat, all 7-'-X11 pdayed an nnportant partin deternnning our present success August 29th, 1921, we began our career as students of Fa Lewistown High School. On that date there were two hun- ' dred and twenty boys and girls enrolled as Freshmen, the largest Freshmen class known in the history of our High School. In our Freshman year, of course, we were green, but not as green as some others whose entrance we have witnessed since that time. At the first class meeting we affected an organization to be proud of, for, through these trying days, our officers led us triumphantly onward. Also, at this meeting we chose Blue and White as our class colors, and, as yet, have not seen fit to change them. Our only social gathering was a New Years' party, which proved to be a success. In sports We were represented on the Foot Ball squad by boys who were preparing for future activities. In Basket Ball our boys won the championship of the school-CELLAR CHAMPIONSHIP. Our girls' team had better success, for, when all games were played, they were tied with the Senior Girls for the championship. Our failures this year, however, proved to be but stepping stones to fu- ture greatness,as tnne and.events have proven. ' In the early fall of 1922, one hundred and eighty students enrolled as Sophomores. This year we were more successful than in our Freshman year, having lost our greenness. In Basket Ball the inter-class Trophy Cup was won by our Sophomore boys. Our cellar championship of the year previous had been merely practice for our present champions. We won all six games played, no other team equaling this record for the sea- son. The inter-class track championship was won by the Sophomore Class. We met with stiff opposition, but succeeded in defeating all other teams. This is the first time in the history of inter-class track meets that the meet was won by a team representing the Sophomore Class. We, also, had one letter man on the Varsity Foot Ball Team. At the annual Cham- ber of Commerce Essay Contest, which was held in the High School, May 24th, 1923, Miss Rupp, a Sophomore, won first place out of seven con- testants. The wheel of Time revolves once more, and we are Juniors, climb- ing rung by rung the ladder of our ambitions. In Foot Ball we were highly honored, having in our class the captain of the team, and six letter men. These men proved their worth to their Alma Mater by the splendid work they did. In Varsity Basket Ball we were represented by three men, one of them being the highest scorer on the team. In class Basket Ball our record was remarkable. Our boys' team was tied with the class of 1924 4175
