Bruce McDonald COLORS White and Gold” FLOWERS Shasta Daisy MOTTO Not Better than the Rest but Better than the Best” Sevent et u THE SRI iaCJ President’s Address Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with the greatest of pleasure that we bid all of you a hearts welcome to our graduating exercises: I assure you it is gratifying indeed to see so many of you present to aid and assist us in celebrating this, our initial victory in life. This class is not a it started four years ago. but let us hope that those who have dmppedfrom our ranks have some definite goal in view, and are using their best efforts to attain it. Judging by the many parents and friends assembled here this morning wc have come to the conclusion that you recognize in us n potential strength, that you glory in our first achievement; that you by this manifest interest, welcome us into the world of men'and affairs. We are carrying with us memories of many pleasant experiences, some of which will never be duplicated, of many friendships which will never be forgot, and of a place which will always lx dear to our hearts. For four years we have trod these corridors, carrying in our hearts a desire to do our best, and to show our true worth to those who are interested in us. Although our every tep and move had a purpose, and our efforts were sincere, often this powerful machine, the Faculty, had to guide and help us over the weak and rough places. To them belongs the praise. It is the happy gift of the True American, ever to turn his eves upward and place his steps forward: each generation strives for something that the other did not have: the son seeks to equal his father or to excel him for the pride it would give his name. Ladies and gentlemen, we are‘True Americans. It is but proper that we should mention our gratitude for the many forces working harmoniously together that we might be permitted to reach this goal. First: we would declare cur gratitude to our God. He has blessed us beyond our conception. with self-sacrificing devotion, and with n country recognizing the fact that all powers come from God. we praise Him and in unison say. Thy will be done. Second: we want to express our gratitude to our parents. Your tenderness and devotion, your interest and self sacrifice, your toleration of our childish follies, has shown us that love is paramount: that love is life itself. Third: we would mention our gratitude to our teachers. Your council has been wise and unselfish: you have been ever indulgent: and always an inspiration to us. Our love for each one of you will exist in our hearts as long as life. Fourth: we would show our gratitude to our country. To her we raise our voices in praise and thanksgiving, and upon Her altar we place our lives that we may uphold her ideals, that “all men are created free and equal and entitled to the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Fellow classmates we are assembled here as a class for the last time. We are this moment students of Minor High School, but in a little while we will be alumni. The transformation is sudden, we change quickly from boys and girls, students of dear old Minor High School, to young men and women facing a new world. Let us face it with good cheer, courage, and with lofty aspirations. Let none of us forget the four happy years spent together in preparing for the great things of life. Let us remember the teachings of our elders, and never forget the fact that as the present is linked with the past, so the future is linked with the present. John But tram. President ‘25. Eight ern THE 1R IS Class History At last our dreams are about to lx- realized. Our aircastles have not proved imaginary oiul tumbled down on our heads. With a thrill of joy and a sense of importance we face the approaching day when this class will part and each go his own wn in life. This feeling is mingled with one of sorrow, for the time is near when we must bid adieu to the place where we have spent our happiest days. The memory uf these days will go with us thru life. [•'our short years ago we all assembled at Minor High. Everything was new—building, place, and companions. It seemed as if the four corners of the earth had sent out her raw material for Minor to finish and send out to the world as useful citizens, for they were students from every grammar school and junior high school lor miles around. These welded together made an ideal class. Those were the nits. ' and ‘'rats” we were, but we were not without honor in our own country. As this was the schools first year we were on more equal footing with the upper class-men than any “rats ' have ever been since. It is queer what sophisticated ideas can lx- crammed into a supposedly ignorant freshman's head. Well. Freshmen have dignity and pride its well as Seniors, and we were an up-to-date class so we had our share. We all kept our dignity and were comforted with the idea that seniors are made of “rats” that pass. Before anyone realized it we were elevated to the plane of Sophomore. Now it was our turn to yell, “rats ' rats. and now we are near our goal. The same crowd was back with new ones, from different places, to cast their lots with ours. Every oik made splendid records and felt better acquainted with high school fashions. We each carried the motto. “Don't give up the ship” and became known proverbially. Know it all. Sophs.” The first of our Junior year found us headstrong and ready to plunge into all unsolved problems and seeking a reputation even in the cannon's mouth. We all enjoyed a position that was next to best. Seniors! Doesn't the very word give one a thrill?' Only the ones that have been Seniors can understand. We thought we had pride and were dignified when we were rats. but we see how mistaken we were. We have almost readied the goal we have striven and worked for the last four vears. Our supreme moment will be reached when we don our caps and gowns and feel the bit of'paper that says we have finished with honor at dear old Minor High. Classes have come anil classes have gone but may the memory of the class of '25 live forever. Ciipitola Smith. Historian Nineteen Statistics 1 S 2 S Friends. Teachers and Classmates: That I. Wilfred Snyder. Statistician of the Senior Class of l 25. after daysof dreaming, years of sleeping, two hours of swearing, no meals, and very little thinking, do hereby set down the statistics oil said Senior Class. Four years ago. a large group of ambitious Freshmen, loaded with books and seeking the pathway of knowledge entered this school, but Father Time. assisted by the Teachers, has greatly diminished our ranks until only a few remain. In this class there are forty-six varieties of humanity, also. I find there will lx six lawyers. twenty-eight teachers, fourteen housekeepers, twenty-three old inaids and young bachelors, and the rest will lx known to the world as loafers. To the best of my knowledge, the infant of the class is Josephine Walls, with Carl Posey and Otis Salter running her a tight race. 'I he total ages cf the girls are 5S‘ years and the total ages of the boys are 212 years, proving boys have more brains than girls. The combined ages would date back to the year 112- A.D. when our forefathers were under the feudal system and the father of Frederich I. was elected Emperor of Germany. The eyes of the class are all colors of the rainbow, pink eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, grey eyes, black eyes, to say nothing of those romantic brown eyes of Anne Brown and Thelma Thompson, they are the eyes that no man can forget. If all the classes should chew their chewing gum like Hannah Brown, the noise would have awakened King Tut. many years ago. If all the lipstick and powder used by this class was put in a pile it would make the Pyramids look like ant hills. If the directors of the movie could see some of the beauties of this class. Hollywood would move its site near Minor High, and I know Venus would turn green with envy if she could cast her eyes on some of the figures of this class. If all the leather used in shoes of this class was put together, it would make a tent large enough to cover the state of Texas and then have enough to cover Pratt City and part of Wylam. If all the manufacturers of wearing apparel for ladies slxxild depend on the modern flapixf of our class for their trade, they would be forced to close down nine-tenths of their factories. In order to give the gentle readers some idea of the modernity of our fair sex. we must say that the hosiery mills would start making ready rolled ho e only.” If the cloth used in making the balloon trousers worn by the Beau Brurnmels. Lawson Van Sant. Everette Jones. Girl Posey. Clyde Starnes, to say nothing of the insignificant author, was sewed together, it would be enough to swing a hammock from Los Angeles to Shanghai. With this small account gotten from two lawyers, with the help of Judge Ab. with many ideas suggested by Jim. our Janitor, and with the help of our renowned class of ’25. I present to you as accurate and concisely as posable, the weights, intelligence, manners,.etc., of said Senior Class. Wilfred Snyder, '25 Statistician. Twenty Senior Class Poem Our dear old school is Minor High. The school we love so well But when we leave there will lx a cry. We bid you all Farewell. Farewell to Minor's girls and boys. And Facility we all say. We hope the future will bring you joys. And happiness every day. We hate to leave dear Minor High. And leave our friends behind We are leaving with a sigh, Because they were so kind. But now as we are going to part. And these few words we tell. We love Minor, with all our heart And bid the school FAREWELL. Mary Garrison. 25 Twenty-o c T H E IR I S -s- Prophecy Ok cold night as I was sitting in the library before the tire thinking what I would write for the class prophecy. I noticed rny brother’s radio outfit. I had been warned to let the radio alone. I like to meddle. Temptation beckoned. My brother had gloried in the fact that he was able to get the etui of the world. Could I do better? Why not try? I turned the pointer and did something to the amplifier, that nasty looking thing that looks like the combination on the deposit vault. After some unearthly shrieking, I heard a voice announcing. This is the Future.” I thought lorn was able to get the work! but here's something beyond the world. I'll broadcast a reply and see if Old Father Time” can tell me something of the future. Then I was reminded of my purpose that evening to write my class prophecy. If I can talk to the future there's no reason in the world why the future cannot help me. and thus keep me from nicking my brains to invent something. So I broadcasted. Listen. Father Time, can you tell me anything of the boys and girls of my graduating class? Promptly came the answer. Most assuredly, out with the question, for we have a card index here of the future of every living creature. I asked to know of the Senior Class of '25. Dear me. I know all about them. Some of them are married, some of them are in Asia, Africa, and other countries. I asked about Ida Hogan. I was told that she was in Hollywood in the movies. And no doubt vou will be interested in knowing that Lticile Buckelew. Mary Lee Parker. Mary Garrison. and Agnes Thompson are now playing in an all-star cast. I tuned in with Africa, and who should I find there hut Lawson Van Sant and Bruce McDonald. Lawson is ambassador to Africa, and Bruce Is trying to civilize the negro. He is giving his life to that work and will make his home there. Father Time told me that Howard Fleming and Ethel Shellor were married and living In New York. . I learned that James McKeever was representative in congress, and .John But tram was congressman from Alabama. Wilfred was president and Thelma Thompson was first lady of the land. _ , I heard an orchestra playing at the Temple in West Virginia. I was told that Carl Posey was playing the saxophone. Virginia Shiflett the flute, and Ozie and Grovie Burnett the piano. The next number announced was a solo by Rosa Tilson. She learned to sing at a singing school taught by Mr. Ganus. I asked Father Time if he could tell me anything about Pearl Black. As I expected, she had married a preacher and they were living in Baltimore. Imagine Agnes Bonds. Nevada Vines, l.orene Varnan and Hannah Brown as missionaries to Japan. Oil! what do I hear? Extra! Extra! screamed a small newsboy. All about the sensational law case. Jewell Mars. Estelle Aycock. Minnie Bell Aycock. who teach the art of the cultivation of the Vamp Curl at the Barbers Club on Fifth Avenue are sueing Vivian Justice. President of the Man Haters club, for the alienation of Willie Godfrey’s affections. I heard a judge, whom I recognized as Oris Salter, in the Supreme Court trying a case. Anne Brown vs. Everett Jones. She is sueing for divorce. How sweet the music sounds! Jane Tombrello. is playing the piano at the Lyric in Phfladefphia. _ _ What is a synonym for Love? I heard someone asked from station X.Y. . Tuscaloosa. It was Capitofn Smith and Josephine Walls working a crossword Puzzle. To my surprise I heard the roll call in an Old Maid's College. Essie Godfrey. Geneva Howton. Fannie Harris, are among those present. Then. Get your partners for a square dance. I recognized Raimon Huggins calling the dance, for he is an old time farmer. I recognized Bernice Scogin’s voice telling her kids” to get out of the way. and Vera Sayers trying to keep her husband from dancing with Odessa May. Just announced, a double wedding in a New York church. Sara Feeney and Clyde Starnes. Marguerite Hooper ami Walter Kirkwood. So. dear classmates, that was all Father Time knew of the boys and girls. So I present this prophecy given to me by the spirit of the future. Goodby and may this assurance help you to press on to the noble heights which are to he yours. Doris Estelle Lollar. Class Prophet.

Herbert 7 tirty out THE SHI Good Citizenship ’A good citizen is a person bom or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.'” We are all citizens, but are we good citizens? We must first have the ambition to be loyal to our state, community and school. Mr. Pizitz realized the importance of this when he offered a hundred dollars to the class that would prove it had the best citizens m school. To prove this, one must have pep. lx on time at school and classes, avoid getting into mischief, and be a good sport. A good citizen is loyal to hi class and school, has good conduct, and respects his teachers and fellow students. Good citizenship does not mean a slacker and a drawback but it means having the energy and spirit to show how proud one is of America and his school. A worthy citizen is square in his dealings with everyone. He is a Ixxister. He lets everyone know that he appreciates his school and what it is doing for him. He knows that if it were not for him the school would not be as good as it is. He studies hard and tries to make his school and his grades better than they have ever been before. I am sure that we all like Minor. Mr. Petty has showed his confidence in ns by introducing Student Cooperative Government. We have our constitution and should let him know that we appreciate his trust in us. If we are good citizens now we will continue to Lx in later life. The future of our country depends on the boy and girls of today. It should lx the aim of every boy and girl in the United States to become a good citizen. Our country deserves the best! While young the student should be looking to a higher ideal of good citizenship. The foundation is made in his youth. Our school offers a good chance to begin. The person who goes into his wx rk with the right attitude and abides by' the constitution is sure to develop into a citizen the country will be proud of. We should all strive to obey the constitution to the best of our ability. It is something that will lend a worthy influence to our later life and help us to understand and care more for our country's constitution. I would not lx- afraid to say that the Sophomore Class as a whole has the best citizens in Minor High School.

R. -Coach Coach deserves much credit for coaching the Minor boys to the most successful season we have ever had. He is the flashy little 'hack who saved the day for ‘Southern with his toe. We want him hack next year for wv fed sure that under his training he will make Minor a real winning aggregation. Shedd. Cecil Cap’I Halfback “Yank our captain, who led his team to a very successful season, was one of the most brilliant 'hacks in the state. He was a triple threat man who could run. pass, and punt almost equalh ;i$ wdl. When Yank got the hall for an end run the opponents could only stand and groan, for he was fast and hard to catch. McDonald. Bruce -Manager—Guard To Bruce we give the honor of the management of our team. Although not on the regular line-up. he stowed his spirit by going out every day and taking charge of the team and playing enough to win a letter as a playing Manager. Kirkland, Alfred- Halfback When the signals were called for Alfred to carry the hall, he picked his hole and hit it with a force that counted for many gains. He was very good on running interference and picking up fumbles. Crump. I lerhert - - Tackle Several touch-downs were made possible by Snub's” ability to open holes in the opponents’ line. If Snub would give as much interest to his classes ns he does to football, he would win a scholarship to Oxford. Forty-eight 1S2I -s- TH E I RIS Qilf. .J x —hull tack Oh Boy!! When Joe. our former Captain, got the bail for a line plunge, if there was no hole for him to go through lie usually took the whole line with him. When we were on the ten yard line, second down—Give Joe the ball and “Presto a touchdown. Joe is one of our three year men and has one more year to Strut his Stuff.” Buttram. John—£nd This place left vacant by Neason. could not have been tilled better than by John. He was noted for Ins ability to stop end runs and catch punts and passes. No better sport has been seen on Minor’s field than Aida. whose spirit had a great effect on the team. Grimes. Richard—CnarJ This is big hoy’s war to make a letter on Minor’s eleven, and he proved to lv very valuable on the line. He has another year in high school and we want him out again next year to help make that line hold against all attacks. Keith. George Tackle George is another one year man and if an opponent wanted to get through George’s position he had to go way around, for it was impossible to go over him. Call around again next football season, George, for we need you. Snyder. Wilfred—Tuarlcrtack Just to hear Skmney call the signals gave the team strength, for he called the signals in an easy manner which showed that he was not the least excited. Skinnoy was the smallest man on the team and one f the best safety men we have ever had. Ferty nlne THE IRIS ISIS KtrkWood. Walter— Center ••Pork Chops played his first year ns alternate guard and tackle, but was this year shifted to center. When Walter got his second wind and a little mad it showed that he wanted a touchdown from the backfield. Walter w.is a retd sport in his classes as well as on the field and stands in line for Auburn's rat team next year. Dollar. Thurman— Halfback Foots started out in every game this year ami stands a go xl chance for a halfback position next year if he can get up enough speed with his big feet” to hit the line like a cyclone from Missouri. Foots made a very good showing in the first game with Oak Grove by his ability to hit the line. Higgins. Leon—Guard Pig Iron” was for two years a center and was this year shifted to guard. His touchdown made by the fumble of the Oak Grove team shows that all linesmen don't sleep. He has another year to make a letter. Van Sant. Lawson Halfback Shorty is one of the cleanest little sports who has ever worn a Minor uniform. His weight was a severe handicap against his making the team, but when he got in the game he played with the pep and punch of a man who weighed one-hundred and sixty pounds. Posey, Carl—Guard If we had had a Midget team at Minor we would have had plenty of boys to qualify, and “Posey would undoubtedly have got the Quarterback position. He made a very threatening effort for Skinny's place on the regular team, and deserves something for trying very hard. i'Uty ir ns Boys Basketball J. R. Thompson.

COMING EVENTS MARCH 12 Senior Chapel Program. 12 Council Meeting. 13 Junior vs. Senior Baseball. 18 Societies Meet. JUNIORS VS. THE SENIORS BASEBALL GAME This will occupy headline interest in all school activities this week. This will be a hard fought game. Whoever wins will not have a walk away. There arc only eleven hoys in the Senior class, hut we expect to win the day with the nep of the Sophomore class hacking us. Both sides will have to depend upon their hatting to win out. tor neither side has a great pitcher to boast of. The Seniors arc stated to win because they have so many hoys out expecting to occupy regular positions on the team. Pitchers have not been selected for either side, but I ouis Posey will probably toss the hall for the Juniors, while E. Jones or C. Posey will take t'ic mound for the Seniors. STUDENT CO-OPERATIVE GOVERN-MENT The Student Co-operative Government is now in full blast. Changes can already lie noticed in the attituu'c oi the entire student IkmIv toward the Council. This organisation lia already done so much that we are sure that Minor will continue under its government. Through an association of this kind we are able to secure the co-o| cr-ation of the entire student body. The students now stand one hundred per cent for Co-operative Government. We can't help rememlieriug the many times we have heard predictions that Minor would go under with this system of government. We don’t believe there is a school anywhere that is more successful than ours. The marble season has opened and i going at full swing. Must we remind the juniors that they arc expected to win honors in that held and by doing so add glory to their class. THE FENCE FUND The material for the fence around the school ground has finally arrived. Thanks to tlic committee that has worked so long and faithfully on this project. This is one of the things that Minor has needed all the time. Now we can have flowers and shrubbery and not have it all destroyed by the cattle. The manual training loy will soon l c on the job putting it up. BASEBALL SEASON OPENS The 1925 baseball season swung under way last Thursday. March 5. and lias continued every afternoon since. I.ight hatting practice was held Thursday afternoon. Hard practice started Monday, with infield ami hitting. According to Coach Thompson it will get harder every day. With the number out for the team, a good race is expected for the different jiositions and it now looks like every position will he well filled.. We’ will open the season with Dostcr-Xorthington Druggist and further games will he played with Warrior, Leeds, Shades-Caliaha. M or diner-Jordan, and Corner. Two games will be played with each team— one at home ami mc away. With Coach Thompson’s interest in the team, a team equal to his football line-up of 24 is very certain. We expect to stay up around the top of the league for the whole year. The following men have received notice that they have made letters in Itaakcthall this year: Everett Jones.
