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

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

EDUCATION (1) Reasons for attending H.S, namely; to get out of work at home; to have a good time; to study geometry; parental per- suasion; and for the benefit of the school. Sad to say; there is one boy in the class who donTt know yet why he attended B,H. S. (2) Our hardest studies are: Latin, English, Sociology, typewriting and shorthand. We re- commend that the Board of Education do away with all these branches and put in thoir place, Grecian dancing, rules of etiqutte, cross word puzzles and modern drama, and Philosophy (of love by Eleanor Giynn)
