We took as our motto “Never late, always on time. Halloween party was held at Gertrude Molter’s. The teachers and members of the eighth grade hiked out about 7:80. Games were played, fortunes and ghost stories were enjoyed, and refreshments served. We all enjoyed the Football banquet in honor of the football players. Toasts were given and different grades hollered veils which well expressed many feelings and opinions. Last but not least, Floyd Powers was surprised on his birthday by the class and teachers.

The Freshman Class We began our bard school tasks on a hot sunshiny Monday morning, August 31, 1925, and were greeted by our new Professor, Mr. Winn. We succeeded in gaining our Freshmen subjects, by having class parties every month to forget our needless, but many worries. On the eighth day of September we called our first class meeting: to elect our new class officers. Klsie Parnall, President; Millicent Stephens, Yice-President; Agnes Walter, Secretary; Donald Bleakley, Treasurer; and Mrs. Winn, Class Sponsor. To do away with so many sales to raise our mon y for the Oracle, we decided on raising our dues to five cents a week, which proved to be better than sales. Our first party was the “Freshmen Initiation”, given by the Sophomores at the Voor-hees home, September 18, 1925. We all lived through it. Other parties have been planned for. but other business has made it necessary to postpone them. In our Sophomore year we are hoping we will be able to enjoy our work as much as we did this yea. . 17

At tirst we were very green to the high school ways hut by watching and imitating our “elders” we have managed to learn the ways of high school. We had a class meeting and elected the following officers: Mildred Corvell President; Seneca T raver, Vice-President; Doreen Douglas, Secretary; Ila Finzel, Treasurer; for class Sponsor we chose Miss Jessie Howes. In March, Doreen Douglas left us to enter school in Detroit. Now Marian Stephens will take her place as Secretary. On February 13th we held a Valentine party at the home of Mildred Coryell. We went coasting after which lunch was served. When we reach our last years in high school we hope that other Junior classes will take the pleasure of imitating us. Although our class is small we will strive to make it the best. s If)
