MEMORIES ’25 carried off first honors in the district and state contests. Anne Groziak was acclaimed State Champion Typist of’24 and represented Illinois in an Inter-state Contest at Des Moines, Iowa, where she won fifth place. One of the best social events of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet which we initiated in the school after giving a “Mock Commencement” to finance the occasion. It was well received and executed with great success. The Senior year found a class of twenty-five including a recruited force of five students. When we organized our Class Club, we chose Robert Cox, President; Olga Homyk, Vice-President; and Mary Flaherty, Secretary-Treasurer. At this time necessity warranted the publishing of a year book to keep abreast with the leading schools in the state. Our class realized this fact and sought to advance with the best, hence this publica- tion. Never before was our class better represented on the athletic fields or to better advantage, and a decided showing was made when we took second place in the first Inter-class Basketball Tournament. Two of our members, Adolph Toigo and Steve Gricewich were named on the All- Central-State Football teams, on the first and second teams respectively. To manage the financial part of our “Annual”, a series of entertainments were given which proved quite profitable and successful especially our class play “A Rustic Romeo”. So in lieu of the above accomplishments and particularly referring to Page Twenty-Jour
