HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS 1Nhen the Senior Class entered the Upper School, there was no doubt in the minds of the rest of the student body that the class of 1925 would be one of the best, if not the best in the history of the school. In looking back it is safe to say that the Class of 1925 has fulfilled its sacred trust of upholding school spirit and furthering school interests. The proof of these words may be seen by closer observation. In 1922 several of the class were in dramatics, while one made the varsity football team. This now does not seem much, but the close observer would have noticed in the whole group a burning eagerness and enthusiasm to outdo all other graduating classes. During the Sophomore year the class overcame the mighty Juniors in a free for all fight and thus gained the undisputed championship of the school in this great field. All school activities were earnestly taken up, including public speaking and other indoor sports. Coming back in 1924, the class became even more close in relationship, due to the hostile action of the Senior Class, action which was purely superficial. During this year every school activity and team was practically dependent on the support of the Juniors. There were Juniors on the dance committees, council, publications and in the speaking contests. At last in 1925 the class was able to call itself Senior-a part which it had been playing for two years. The performance of outstanding note during this year was the manner in which the class used the new Senior Room. This manner surprised even the Faculty who were dubious at first as to the advisa- bility of such a donation. This one fact shows the great strength of character prevalent in the class,-a force which did the impossible by making the Senior club room a success. In departing from Blake the Class of 1925 sincerely feels that its niche in the wall of school fame has been cleft so high as to make it an impossibility for any succeeding class to surpass it. In the course of such boasting it would be well to remember that it was due to Mr. Foss and his faithful devotion that the greater part of the success of the class was made possible. For his sincere eHorts during our four years of importance we wish to thank him.
