Class History Plainly can I remember the past four years. They have been four which 1 will always remember. The Class of '25 ventured into high school in the year of 1921. We were called Freshies. That first year was a continuous struggle with our books and teachers. They wanted us to mind, thinking if we did we always would. At the end of that year some of us were all tired out and couldn't go on. The next year we came into the class called Sophs. We knew our P's and Q's” a little better. We had more social times and we no longer had that dread and fear of our teachers. In 1924 we were called the Juniors. We thought that it was an honor to be as high towards the goal of graduation. That year some of us began to think about our credits, some needed more, others did not. At commencement time we were marched down towards the front of the church to see how the Seniors acted. We knew we would be there next year. We sat there and sweated as much as the Seniors themselves. They all seemed glad to get their diplomas. We have no fear because we know that each is entitled to one. The year ended with all of us eager for the next to come, knowing that it would be the end. This glorious year of 1925 sees us at our close in Homer High. The students, some of them, will miss us, others will be glad that we are gone. We will be equally glad. To look back on the past four years, they seem to be ones of study and hard work. Some of us will be doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers and hold other positions of higher learning. That is what we have been striving for since we entered high school. We all look toward the future and have no fear of it. Why? Because we are prepared for it. We hope that the classes to come will have as many good times and learn as much as we have. 23
