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.
