This volume of the annual tells the story most com- pletely. At the end of this year they found that Senior Isle was the stepping off place into the vast territory of the Promised Land. The stepping off place was called Grad- uation, and a great concourse of people met to watch them take this short Journey. And now the four long years have passed; the Freshmen of 1921 are the Sen- iors of 1925. They have had many exper- iences during their voyage, of which the enjoyable ones far outweigh the unpleas- ant ones. As the Seniors scan the horizon from the stepping-stone of Graduation, they see many conquests to be made, and in the future, as In the past, they will show themselves ready for any test that may be put them. 7 7. they believe that

Isle they felt their heads begin to swall selves very wise indeed. Upon landing they found that they were no longer Freshmen, hut Sophomores, much like those they had met the year before , hut much wiser. Everything was quite dif- ferent from Freshman Isle, Part of their food was changed; they now had ge ometry in place of algebra, heside many other rearrangements of the menu, and though most of their number relished the change exceedingly, a few were heard to lament for the more easily di- gested fare of Freshman Isle. took their departure As they neared this , and thought them- It was upon this Isle that they found Caesar's bridge, of which they had heard so much, but sad to relate, they found glued to it several poor belated strangers, remnants of the preceeding Sophomore class, gazing longingly into the Sea of Knowledge, des- perately desiring to throw themselves head long into its enveloping shoals and he im- mersed therin. However, this fear proved to he impossible for these poor wretches as each time they would try to sink themselves in Knowledge, they discovered they could go no further than their own depth. Before leaving the Isle, these kind and bril- liant Sophomores rescued the poor prisoners from the bridge, and took them within their own ship to travel with them to the next port. On the Isle of Wise Fools, into the limelight came forth three silver tongued orators—Theodore Hardy, Madge Coppock Laura Belle Cordon. Hazel Avery, the best scrapper in the class was put on the debat- ing team and in the name of the Sophomore class, she met enemies from the Isle of the Owls and Junior Isle. After a most happy year on the Isle of Wise Fools the voyage was resumed, and on a lovely September mom, the voyagers 14

SL S Z) In spite of the easy access of statistics, there are many items of interest about this class that have never been brought to light. Therefore, by a system of our own, we have succeeded, in collecting these items to put on record for future reference. A class so illustrious as this class of 1925 cannot fail to be an p-xample of intelligence, industry and general good behavior fo those following. A list of questions was given to each member of the class to answer and this report was prepared from the answers. Therefore, I am not responsible for any facts disclosed here. The report is as follows: Class enrollment----5(4 girls and one boy) Average age--------18 Average height-----5' 5'1 Average weight-----150 lbs. (E.C. responsible) ANCESTRY In order to understand the unusual brilliancy of this class, mention must be made of our ancestors. As a class, we recognize Adam and Eve among our first. Other noted ances- tors are Napoleon, Lincoln, Jesse James, St. Patrick, Vir- ginia Dare, and the Emperor of Germany, George Spurgeon claims Caesar as one of his remote grandfathers, which no doubt accounts for his skill in translating his Latin, Some trace their ancestry to Ireland, some to the Teutonia Inva- sion and others to the bug house at Miles City, Marie Wernli having lost track of her family tree oan trace her ancestry only as far as Judith Gap. All realize, however, that if the missing links were supplied, our ancestry could he traced back to the Ionian Race of the Jungles. SOCIETIES AND CLUBS The highbrow organizations in this institution are: Hot Dawg Dozen, Karolina Koon Kluh, Live Wires, Cyclones, and the T.N.T. Madge Coppock, Marie Wernli, and George Spurgeon are members of the Hot Dawg Dozen; Hazel Avery and Esther Cromer belong to the Karolina Koon Kluh; Esther, George, Madge and Hazel are Cyclones and Marie is a Live Wire; all are charter members of the secret society, T.N.T. George also belongs to the United Brotherhood of Loafers.” This organization, how- ever, is not quite as ritzy as our others. 18
