Jake burdens the postman very heavily, getting many letters from Hanover, and other parts. Jake has shown his calibre, starring on the gridiron, and the baseball field. We expect him to be an All-American some day. He hath a stern look, but gentle heart. PAULINE KATHRYN WEIKERT upollyn Freedom Township .

When she begins saying place jigger A B C on iigger X Y Z everyone stops to listen. One ot her highest ambitions is to dle an old maid school teacher, but as long as there is a certain D. K. S. by the name of Joseph there are no hopes for that. To know her is to love her.

G.H.s. 1925 Class HISIOIY In the fall of the year 1921 we entered Gettysburg High School as an class of some seventy scared, doubtful, bewildered and nerve- racked Freshmen. We had formed, each of us, an idea as to how High School was and ought to be run, but, well, we found out dif- ferently as most Freshmen have. Our class was strong in num- ber but weak in mind in the eyes of the upperclassmen, who would continually remind usof the fact. But nevertheless in the ranks of our class there are Athletes, Musicians, Poets, Actors, Orators and Students, who needed only a few years in G. H. S. to claim some talent in their respective professions. The Sophomore year helped to make us closer friends as class- mates, it also brought out our athletes, and positions on the scrub teams were efiiciently filled by the boys of '25. At the end of the year we were glad when the finals were finished, but we hated the idea of not meeting in the assembly room again until the summer vacation was ended. The Junior year saw not a few of our classmates shine in ath- letics, music, and all the schools' activities. During the year the Hi-Y was enriched with many new members from our class, who should during the next year lead that organization. The musical comedy Miss Cherry Blossom, and the athletic play On the Hiring Line, were put across by the aid of members of our class, who filled their parts exceedingly well. Near the end of this year we were looking forward to being Seniors and to come back in the fall with the sincere purposes of making our Senior year's studies the best ever. It is now September, in the fall of 1924, and our class begins the last lap of the four-mile relay. It is said by runners that the last mile in a race is always the best, for the last mile determines victory and the winning of the race. The Class of '25 is the one contestant, the other is Work and Study. In this race our class must overcome to win. In this race our class attempted something never attempted before in the history of' G. H. S. That something was to publish the news of the High School in a paper issued every two weeks. Now this attempt could only be carried out successfully by the direction of a capable, hard-work- ing editor and staff, who would receive the co-operation of the entire class. Our Maroon and White was a huge success from
