And its sweet Golden Rule. ‘Do good as you pass on your way.” From our teachers and classmates we’ll 'part. But down in the depths of each heart. Fond memories will stay, As we go on our way, And out in the world do our part. Chorus. Then here’s to the class twenty-five. For its glory and honor we’ll strive, Tho’ far we may roam.

10 I1LVK ANU GOLD William Ewing's dignified manner and expressive reading, especially in the audi- torium, we assign to William Giles. Abbie Carter’s musical ability we be- queath to Oglena Kriebel so the same will not be missed when Abbie graduates. Carl Faust’s dainty selection of bow- ties we will to Theodore Weideman. We won't be able to see Ted nearly so well. To Rose Kauffman we leave Duncan’s intense love of Stenography. To John Prizer we bequeath Herman Finkelstein’s talkative nature. Perhaps this gift will keep John awake. Ella Johnson’s “golden locks” we will to “Chuck” Thomas. Ella won’t notice the loss and Chuck can easily stand the addition. To Florence Campbell we bequeath Clyde Hill's perpetual drawl. Flos won’t be able to express herself nearly so well. Kathryn Kirkpatrick's sentimental characteristics we leave to Olive Robin- son. Elvira Shupert’s shy and retiring ways we assign to Kit” Hessley. To Robert Ramsey we bequeath Roy Holden’s blond marcelle wave. Elizabeth Leedom's punctuality we as- sign to Emma Harrison (to Mr. Huns- berger's despair.) William Jones’ oratorical ability and bashful ways to leave to Thomas Celli. These surely ought to make a big change in Thomas. To Vernon Scott we give Isabelle MacRae’s wicked orbs. What a lady- killer he ought to be! Charles Kindregan, who is noted for his witticisms, has graciously consented to leave same to Alan Shcllenberger. Margaret Moore’s lanquishing looks to a member of the Junior Class we will to Clara Myers. Someone must assume Margaret's duties. To Raymond Freas wc give Joseph Bate's customary beard. Raymond will think he is a man now. Regina Pagnacco’s studious nature we leave to Margaret Sampson. To Louis Sponar we bequeath Emerson Webster’s prowess in Athletics. May you have success, Louis. Ruth Philip’s regular attendance we will to Viola Vercoe. Samuel Brett, altho he mourns the loss, has finally consented to leave his unique laugh to Si Adair. Si surely will step out now. To Florence Crawford we will Helen Moser’s devotion to the male sex. It won’t he a difficult art for Florence to cultivate. Herbert Bowman’s beautiful pompadour we give to Ottie Wood. To Nathan Graubard we bequeath Vir- ginia Ramsey’s raven cudles. Gina will no longer have to suffer the torture of curlers. Richard Mostellar’s semi-collegiate trousers we will to Solomon Auerbach. I am sure Solomon will treasure this gift. To Rosella Gravinese we leave Grace Jones’ rosy cheeks. Maybe Rosella may some day become as adept as Grace in blending colors. Frank Dennis' beloved nickname “Tar- zan we assign to George Middleton altho we give George due warning not to be- come too wild. To Helen Jamison we bequeath Frances Rowan’s advoirdupois. Dorothy Walter's high marks we will to Ruth Wood and Anne Griffith. Mr. Hottenstein surely will appreciate this bestowal. To some poor benighted Freshman we leave Nelson StuhlmulleVs interesting talks on school spirit —a word in ex- planation—Nelson does not always prac- tice what he preaches. Alice William’s voluability we assign to Anna Hissuer. To Charles Beuler we leave “Porky” Robert’s Royles Ruff with the hope that his troubles be fewer than Porky's were. Catherine Reiger's fondness for comb- ing her tresses wc will to Josephine Young. To any who are willing to accept this burden we leave Harold Koch’s cease- less line of chatter. It can safely be souldeied by several. Franklin Goshaw's air of timidity we bequeath to Donald Jones. We hope this

12 BU R AND GOLD Class History LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: A small boy, fond of ’’playing con- ductor,” arranged the dining room chairs in line and called on his one passenger, a lady of serious mind, to know at what place she wished to stop. “The station nearest Heaven, my dear,” she answered. “Oh, you’re on ee wrong t'ain, lady, you're on ee wrong t’ain.” The majority of the class is undecided whether it is on the wrong train or not, but most of the teachers believe that there is not much hope unless Harold Koch is able to reform us, either before or after he becomes a minister. When we entered High School in 1921, our first desire was to graduate. Al- though many have left us, we graduate with one of the largest classes in the history of the Conshohocken High School, forty-three in number. Now that we have reached the fulfill- ment of our desire it is pleasant to look back over our four years of high school life. Of these the Junior and Senior years stand formost in the accomplish- ments of our class. Our class is proud of its athletes and what they have done. We have Captain Joe Bate, of the football team, Sam Brett, football and track; Herb. Bow- man, baseball; Towy Holden, football, basketball and field; Herman Finklestein, Bill Jones, basketball; Charles Kindregan, football and track; Nelson Stuhlmuller, football; Emerson Webster, football and basketball. Captain Lorraine Bell, and Isabelle MacRae, Frances Rowan, May Starke have been members of the basket- ball team. The class of 1925 is noted for its students, Alice Williams and Dorothy Walters being the most brilliant. In the commercial departments Lor- raine Bell and Marion Robinson win the honors, while the science department has no outstanding pe;rs. Our most famous musicians are William Ewing, Helen Moser, Alice Williams and Abbie Carter. Our first student leader of the or- chestra was Bill Ewing who also played hero in the Gypsy Rover with Helen Moser as heroine. This play also in- cluded in its cast Nelson Stuhlmuller, Stewart MacKenzie, Isabel Mac Rae, Virginia Ramsay, Roy Holden, Clyde Hill. Paul Roberts and Harold Koch. Every play given by the High School has included members of our class. The class is also good in debating, both formal and informal. It must be ad- mitted that the boys are slightly better, despite the girls’ natural proficiency in talking. The members of the senior de- bating team included Helen Moser, Alice Williams, May Starke, Abbie Carter Harold Koch, Clyde Hill, William Bennett, Stewart MacKenzie. Harold Koch also won out in the school Or- atorial Contest, though Alica Williams came a very close second. In Student Government Association this- year Frances Rowan has been our leader, and Abbie Carter and William Jones our two class representatives. The Association, though still in its infancy, has had a fairly successful year. And so we might go on. This brief review alone is impressing. And when we leave, we leave with the hope and earnest wish that the Class of 1925 may do, in the days to come, so large a share of world services that its Alma Mater, Conshohocken High School may be worthily proud.
