W . - - , ... .-...,., .., . ...... . . . , - - -.H+ History of the Junior Class VVhen two years ago last September, we, as the class of '26, entered A, T. H. S., we were conspicuous in our verdancy. However at the combined initiation and reception given us by the upperclassmen, a great deal of the greenness was worn off. An excellent standard was set early in our career, both in class work and in athletics. Our boys established a reputation for the class by the ability which they displayed on the football field, four of them obtaining first team letters through their valliant efforts. The high school chorus could not possibly have been a success without us. even though our voices were instrumental in the production of more tone than tune. The orchestra, likewise. received a goodly percent of its players from the Fresh- man class. Although we were unable to win the interclass contest, the reading from our class placed first and represented our school in the county oratorical contest. However we carried off the honors at the interclass track meet, and many from the Freshman class participated in the annual Field Day at Findlay. Then came the last day of school and we were no longer Freshmen, but Sophomores. Our Sophomore year had in store for us even greater honors than the previous one had held. On the gridiron our boys surpassed all past records. Five members of the girls basketball team came from the Sophomore class. lvloreover, five of our boys were awarded first team basketball letters. XVe ran the Seniors a close race for the interclass contest cup, but finally decided to be content with second place. Again our class was well represented at the Field Meet. The termination of our second year found us with still greater ambitions for the year that was to come. At the close of our much deserved vacation, we gathered again in the glorious halls of our dear old A. T. H. S. In addition to living up to the reputation we had created for ourselves in athletics, we have shown our remarkable dramatic ability in the presentation of the class play entitled l'Am I lntruding?y' which was given February 12, 1925. TVith careful preparation we were able this year to win the interclass contest, three of our participants placing Hrst and two second. Plans are now being made for the banquet which we intend to give soon in honor of the Seniors. Although our achievements have been many, and our successes have been marked, still what we have done is as nothing compared with what we hope to do, so look out for us next year. --MARTHA REED 4...-f Y . 71, .,:.,.,.,..-----. - 1 -r s , , a , ,irq Seventeen

ALLEN TOWNSHIP CENTRALIZED SCHOOL-1925 .g.,,,, -1--- V. ,W 7 , .aa- The Sophomore Classil-listory The class of '27 has been asked to reveal its High School history which is very brief. for only two short years have been spent with the higher classmen. ln this time many things happened, some great-some small. Since we were duly initiated into high school, we have taken part in different school activities. A number of our boys have given the best of their ability in helping the football team win the county championshipg several entered basketball, baseball and track. Few of the girls played basketball and only one proved efficient. But basketball was not the end of our sporting career, for twice as many practiced track. Many of our members have taken advantage of the opportunities offered in elocution and music during the Freshman and Sophomore years. As a result, our class is well represented in the school orchestra of which every one is proud. VVe all looked forward to the Interclass Contest in the hope of winning. No, we did not win. although the Contestants did their best. Gershom Poole won first place on his oration and represented our school in the county oratorical contest. Our class has greatly decreased in number, but has increased in knowledge. Some day we will be Seniors. Time is rapidly Flying. Watch our class Hy too! Nut to destruction, but to the seats by the window that we may take our turn looking into the outdoor world. All of us have a desire to complete our High School educationg and we willl --MARGA RET S'I'I'I'T ..,, : , ,,,, r - .gyms :gf 'Pe' - -1- Nineteen . A e --4.
