I ,lx , History of the Graduating Class of 1925 continued for champions, but in the final play-off at the Y. M. C. A. we were defeated. Our girls, also were tied for first place, but the tie was not played off. In the preliminary Oratorical Contest, Miss Rupp again won first place .The Lore banner was won twice by members of the Junior Class. In the Cham- ber of Commerce Essay Contest, three of the five contetsants were Juniors. Two of these won prizes, one first and the other third. Last but greatest in our estimation was the Prom. Everyone who was present at that memorable occasion will agree that it was the biggest, best, and most successful Prom ever held in the history of the Lewistown High School. They will never forget the splendid entertainment afforded them at that time. This event closed the Junior year of the class of 1925. Vacation is over and we enter High School for the last time, for we are Seniors. We number approximately eighty students, having dwindled to that number from the original two hundred and twenty Freshmen. The cream is left and great things are expected of us. After organizing we de- cided to start immediately to raise funds for our Washington trip. Bake sales were held and candy sold to increase this fund. Our Class Play, BIMBO, as you all know, proved to be a great success. Through the su- pervision of Mr. Rowland, the director, we cleared more than twice as much money as any other previous class. This was one of the greatest aids in our money campaign. The Class of 1925 was the first class to have enough money in its treasury to pay all expenses forthe trip. However, We hope future classes will have the ability to do likewise. The captain of this year's Foot Ball team came from the Senior Class, as did also, many stars on that same team. It was mostly through the ability of these men that we had such a successful season. Likewise in Basket Ball the cap- tain of the victorious team was a Senior, and it is to him and to those playing with him we attribute our victories. This class is highly honored having in its personnel, two members of the All Mountain League Team. In class Basket Ball we were not so fortunate, having won only one game in the season, again holding the cellar championship, but in track a differ- ent result Was obtained, the Seniors having won for the third consecu- tive time the inter-class track trophy cup. This cup is now the permanent possession of the Class of 1925. The Track Meet was a fitting close for our athletic success as a class. Many of our friends here tonight, may think these events unim- portant, but to us they mean much- For they are as beacons in the night, Shedding forth their radiance To light our pathway through life. And now we say- Farewell ye halls where oft' we trod, Farewell ye rooms where oft' we met, Farewell ye teachers, good and kind, Farewell ye students left behind. C135

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
