Upon the side we stand Ready to dash into the Game of Life, Armed with diplomas and our school ideals, Eager to give ourselves into the strife. NVe've learned the game, its laws and all its rules, In twelve long years of mingled praise and blame, How best to play, in order We may Win, Noviees-we have learned to play the game. Now we are Seniors-the first round is done, We're ready for the second-for the sting Of harsh defeat, the thrill when we have won, For all the joy and pain that it shall bring. We're going to be sportsmen when we lose, And generous and kindly when we win, 1 lVe'll play the game the best that we know how, And try to make a record free from sin. Failure-or triumph? YVhat will our lives bring? Disgrace-or fame and honor in the strife? Each one must find the answer for himself, How well he'll battle in the Game of Life. ine een Q1 X mnwm fix, 41 e , '-fi ' ,lk K! .11 !i i'i'X.'5 hh AN' lg 'gl l

Ollaaa Zliiatnrg In the spring of 1912, eleven little children took their first steps along the rough and rocky path of learning. They constituted a kindergarten read- ing-class taught by Miss Ella Hill. In the course of thirteen years, two of those children have moved away from Blair. The other nine are all graduat- ing members of the class of 1925. These eleven children, together with many other little contemporaries re- turned to school-work in earnest in the autumn. The first eight years of their school life passed quite uneventfully. Perhaps many students will remember the rather remarkable debate which six members of the, then eighth grade, gave before the High School. The question was: Resolved: That lVashington was a greater man than Lincoln. The next year t.hey entered high school, proud of the title, Freshmen. Then, as Sophomores, they advanced to the dignity of class officers and a sponsor. Miss Ethel Evans was their sponsor, Catherine Beekmann, president, Kirby Cook, vice-president, and Ruth Cheely, secretary and treasurer. The good times at the class party at James Maher's, a11d the skating party at Grimm's will be remembered by the class. In their Junior year Miss Una Crook was class sponsor, James Maher, pres- ide11t, Jeanette Robertson, vice-president, Pauline Lippincott, secretary, and NVilliam Powell, treasurer. The party given by the Juniors to the Seniors, and the Junior-Senior banquet, were proof of the pep and enthusiasm of the Juniors. This year, covered with the customary dignity, the class returned as Sen- iors. They have the distinction of being the largest class ever known in Blair High School, having sixty-three graduating members. The officers of the Senior class are: Kirby Cook, president, Audrey Beales, vice-president, alld James Maher, secretary and treasurer. The class sponsor is Mr. Moore. Every Senior will remember the exciting class meetings they have held, and the jolly party held in the commercial room. The class of 1925 will be remembered for its athletes, debaters, musicians, and scholars. Its most prominent athletes are: Kirby Cook, Clarence Vig, George Nelson, Everett Tyson, Earl Jacobs, and Milford Mehrens. These are the fellows who played a large part in winning the conference championship for the school. Its debaters-oh, golden eloquence !-are Margaret Struve, Kirby Cook, and Milford Mehrens. Its musicians, who have enlivened the l1Vednesday programs and special entertainments are: Ruth Bross, Ruth Chee- ly, Catherine Beekmann, Hilton Rhoades, Elton Bissel, and Austin Haller. And last, but by no means least, are its best scholars: Audrey Beales, Kirby Cook, Jeanette Robertson, and Margaret Struve. It has been a good year for the Seniors--their last in B. II. S. They have worked and played hard in the school which is dear to them all. Now they are leaving it, as so many other classes have left it-hoping that they will not be entirely forgotten by the students who come after them. J. R. ine een Qs 7e'knym ,.
