Prominent Citizen Dies At His Home School's Favorite Son Passes On As Result of Overwork Whole School In Mourning Hutchinson, Kansas. May 22.-C. Lass Twenty-five. born September 10, 1913, passed from this life May 22. 1925. An an infant, Twenty-five was a lusty, mischievious urchin. characterized by a great capacity to fall into and get out of scrapes. .Xs a youth, we can all remember his awkward stage. when he put on long trousers and his voice trembled between treble and bass, his extreme bashfulness, and the budding dignity that gradually developed. His natural father was that genial martinet, George F. Brooks, who pre- ceded him in May, 1924. He was not long left an orphan for his Alma Mater chose another partner, and Step-dad F. Gilliland must be held partly respons- ible for his raising. Jolly Grandpa Gowans also had a big part in bringing up Twenty-five. lie was always an unusual child, showing an originality and a quality of gray-matter that has never been surpassed and will probably never be duplicated by another child of his Alma Mater. ln fact. as we look at the younger ones. we wonder how children of the same parents could be so dissimilar. Twenty-five was always active in football, basketball, track and other activities. During his High School years he took part in many of the plays and operettas. lie was a loyal citizen and a Boy Scout. 'He leaves, besides his Alma Mater and Father Gilliland, three brothers, Twenty-six, Twenty-seven and Baby Twenty-eight. A host of loving friends, including the janitors and the engineer, mourn his going. May he rest in peace! CFrom H. S. Ziszj Page I3

l Senior Chronolog NVe bore the jeers and jests unprotestingly, joined the Seniors in their frivolityg NYith High School we were not content, liut made plans for definite settlement. Chose our colors cerese and blueg Chose our officers loyal and trueg Formed the Sophie class during '23, Made a successful class indeed, And then-alas, that day was done, VVe became the junior class of fun. Other officers were soon elected. Four prominent students were selectedg XVho made the class a great success. Proved to be a class of happiness, And when the exams were taken and o'er, Said 'fGood-byel' to the class of '24. By constant effort and faithfulnessg By careful study and sturdinessg XNe became the Seniors of 25. And again our votes were cast For beneficial leaders of our class, T o uphold the traditions of our school. But now the end of our journey is nearg VVe realize it closes our High School career. Then We'll Wish for a chance to commence again- And oh! The honors We Would attain. And during our latter High School days XYe recall the enjoyment of banquets and playsg :Xnd the old school songs and the Allagaroo, The old school colors, The gold and blue,', Shall remain in our hearts forever true. X'Vhen the yells are heard and the victory Wong VVe'll stand just the same in the years to come. And as we walked across the stage, NVith shaky knees and a Hpitty patu heart, To obtain the diplomas weld earned from the start, VVe hoped that inspiration from our school life, Might stay with us for years to come. -RUBY DAUBER, '25 Page I2
