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)

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

MUSIC AND LITERATURE Someone made a wise crack once upon a time that a persons character may be determined by one’s taste in literature and music. We do not believe this to be true for in gathering our statistics we’ve picked up the following: Name Favorite piece of lit erature Favorite Song Esther Cromer So Big Take, Oh, Take Those Lips Away. George Spurgeon Peter Rabbit Stories Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam. Madge Coppock Flaming Youth Yankee Doodle. Hazel Avery Whiz Bang Last Night On The Back Porch. Marie Wernli Smart Set The'Bulldog On The Bank. FUTURE OCCUPATIONS Everyone must plan for the future and I find that each one of the class has thotfully chosen his future course. Marie expects to startle the world as a ballot dancer; Hazel Avery hopes to be an old Maid school teacher; Esther Cromer thinks she will join the movies and star as a niggsr mammy; Madge expects to be a genius along some lino--doesn’t make much difference which; George hopes to run a little peanut stand all of his own some day. Limited time and space prevents me from giving you any more facts in regard to this class. Considering our many ster- ling qualities, our success is quite assured, and each one bids fair to carve for himself a splendid future. And when our history has become a milestone in the history of Buffalo High School may the future classes follow our example and leave behind as good a record. 20
