One of the “sweetest” and most profitable affairs of the year was held at the candy booth at the Juvenile Fair, and so great was the demand for home made candy, that all our sweets were gone in half an hour. In this term the following members brought honors to the class on the football team: Timon Toikleson, Arthur Fertig, Louis Malagamba and Carl Sanders. To the High School basket ball team we furnished excellent men. The class, wishing to leave a memento to the High School, donated frames for the pictures of “Cicero ' s Oration Against Cataline, “The Dance of the Nymphs,” and a “Portrait of Lincoln., ' The class also has decided to purchase pins as reminders in later years of life of their High School days. Now after four years, filled with many happy memories and tasks accomplished, we are about to sever the ties that bind us and enter upon a new and broader field of labor. As we go forth let us ever remember with affection and gratitude the days spent in the A. Id. S. 25
