iiiiiMiiiinniM History of Class of ’25 Is it any wonder as you gaze at the noble group of infant prodigies depicted on the opposite page that you are moved with admiration and awe? This is the class of 11125. But altho we look innocent here, the teachers do not think so. For instance. Miss Happel’s favorite saying to the Freshies is “Leave the room.” In the beginning of the year we had enrolled 21 infants who were members of the cradle roll. Later in February, we received one more member, Ernest Stump, otherwise known as the “Son of a butcher.” But unfortunately six infants were lost from us and so there were only 10 members left on the roll. Among the infants department, there are a few raving ravens who express themselves with a growl that resembles “B r-r-r-r-.” After a few weeks of nursery life, we decided to elect officers, which resulted as follows: Walter Mason, President; Henry Brown, Vice-President; Dorothy Seitz. Secretary ; Grace Ellis, Treasurer. After election of officers, we decided on the infants colors, which are orange and black. After a month’s enrollment we were honored by a party from the Juniors in honor of our entrance into High School. We are very fortunate in having a ladies’ man in our class who never forgets them on St. Valentine’s Day. Hearing that infants are allowed to play basketball, we quickly decided to show what material was in our class. We are very proud to say there is a member in our class who is a substitute on the varsity basketball team this year, and we all hope that he will be a member next year. ■MMfluiHHHmmM iiisiiif i m m i m m m HIHlIIIIUlillllllllW Twenty-nine

Penn High School has reason to be proud of the basketball teams which have won a name for it. It is the first time in the history of Berks County that two champion teams have come from the same High School in the same year. Throughout the whole year the very best spirit of good sportsmar:- hip prevailed, and this was one of the things which was bound to bring success. There was co-operation — a working together among the athletes, and with the aid of the coach, Mr. Yeich, and assistant coach, Mr. Morrow, two real basketball teams were turned out. which showed all of us what they could do. YVe, the members of the M. P. H. S., extend our heartiest congratulations to them, and hope for their future success. THE TEAMS Boys Girls J. E. Huvett. f.(Capt.)S. A. Ibach, f. j. B. Leinbach, f. A.
