THE 1925 ECHO We have ehosen FARDINAL RED and FB EN! fH B LITE as our eolors, beeause they are symbolie of all we eonsider best and greatest in the world. CYABDINAL BED is the eolor of blood, the life-giving fluid. As blood maintains and supports life in the animal kinclgom, even so does the elass of 1925 maintain and sup- port life in the C'hambersburg High Sehool. FRENCH BLITE is the eolor of the sky and the sea. Our minds are as broad as the sea. and our hearts are as open as the sky. hese two eolors, CARDINAL RED and FRENCH BLUE, whieh are emblematie of all that is mightiest and grandest in all the universe and in all eternity are embodied in the pennant of that noble elass, the elass of '25, whieh shall always holil nearest to her heart those eherished ideals whieh were first ar-quired in the clllLtllllJ0l'SlJlll',LI High Sr-hool. Ho! Strike her flagstaff deep, Sir Knight, ' Ho! Scatter flowers, Fair Maids, Ho! Gunners, tire a loud salute, Ho! Gallants, draw your blades. T Thou sun, shine on her joyously, Ye breezes, waft her wide. Our glorious Semper Eadem. The banner of our pride. 'tWh0 Else Thinks So? I attempt no vain exeuses, We are weak beyond a doubt, But what else can one expeet, With all we see about? Girls are growing ever Wilder, Showing everything they please-- I suppose they roll their hose To show their dirnpled knees. I ean't say that we should blame them For the endless way they flirt, For my wits are torn to bits, By the swishing ol' a skirt. Had I lived long years ago, I would have loved them just the same, For its girls that put the whirls Ol' giddy pleasures in the game, HEIiBER'l' '12 1u.,xeK oxen

THE l925 ECHO tt'ontinued from page 75,7 This the speech given hy .lanies Strite as part ol' the eerenionies on '25's pennant day. Mr. Prineipal, Honoralmle Members of the lfaeulty, Worthy Fellow Vlassniates, Yi- tuperative and Hupereilious Seniors, Ladies and tlentleinen: It is the privilege of every organization to choose an einlileni whieh will be repreeen- tative of it, and whieh will lie at all tinies a reininder ol' its power and prestige. It is eu-'- toniary in the C'liainlmersliurg High Sehool for eaeh elass, when it reaehes its .lunior year, to adopt a pennant as its einlilein. We eoine liefore you today to dazzle your eyes and please your esthetic' sensibilities with a fleeting glimpse of our glorious pennant of tlardinal Red and l reneh Blue. It is a fleeting glimpse, lor no human eye eould he satisfied with even eternal t'011t0l11IJl21ilUIl ol' the beauties of this pennant. lt is fitting that these. the niost lieautiful colors iinaginalile, should he the ehoiee ol' the greatest elass that ever entered the broad po 'tals of our lieloved clll2L1llllt'l'SlJlll'Qf High Sc-hool. When we first eanie into this building as Freslnnen, we were the largest elass that had ever been enrolled. Although we were then young and inexperieneed, we agreed that through our seholastie eareer, we would plaee the serviee of our sehool aliove the serviee ot our elass and ourselves. And now, having attained inaturity of thought, we onee again pledge our hearts and our hands to whatever we shall deein lmest for the C'liainlwerslnirg High Sehool. VVe have lieen here alniost three years, and no nieinher of the faeulty, the under- elasses, or the Seniors eould say, il' he searehed his eonseienee, that he has not been posi- tivelv astounded at the marvelous athletic' ability, the amazing intelligenee and the prot'oun'l e'udition of the elass ot' 1925. Our seholastie aehieveinents have ealled forth the i.n e- strained admiration of the faculty. Our unpreeedented feats of strength, speed, and skill on grid-iron, gyin floor, and diamond have eaused the people ol' this eonnnunity to reg Lrd ue? as veritable athletic prodigies. Were any one so lmold as to admit that perfeetion eould he attained, then weswould proudly say that our class and its works are the only things ol' their kind whieh have at- tained perfeetion. Ill order that the Sophoinores and Freslnnen. and all other elasses whieh shall enter Clll2HIllJ0l'SlJl1l'fI High Sehool in the future, shall not have the saine handicaps and diffieulties to faee as we did in our long elinilm up the steep hill ealled Sueeess , we have st riven inueh ro better the High Sehool. Standing at the sunnnit ol' that hill. we look haek on our High Sehool lite with the feeling that if any niore eould have heen done it was not in the power of this elass or any other elass to do it. When we graduate from High Sehool we shall leave to future elasses a nuinlmer ot' rieh legacies. The elass ol' '25 has given to the High Sehool that most important aeeessory to the gaining of an edueation, I12lIll0ly' a lilirary. Sinee the first Lili1.00tJ for whieh we all lalworezl so zealously, the library has grown unlielievalily. but renieinlmering that the elass ol' '25 was ehiefly responsible for this growth it is not at all astonishing. The elass ol' '25 has given the High Sehool a newspaper, HThe l5l'tJ2ltlt'8Hl,f'l'.li The Broadeaster has already done inueh for the aeeoniplislnnent ol' its initial aiin, that ol' promoting the interests ol' the Clll2llIllJQl'Sl'll1l'Q High Sehool and every student and teaeher in it. The Radio Fluli. the new sports ol' tennis and volley hall, and niany other things are ehietly indehted to the elass of '25 for their existenee in tho High Sehool, and are silent ineinorials to the interest the elass ol' '25 has always shown in the welfare of the High Sc-hool.
