Here is what is known as the chief jester of King Hart- 1'anft's Court. If you've ever heard, in a class room, some one talking, using words about ten inches long, that was Reindeer This long-legged, long-winded kangaroo can talk more and say less than any human being that ever trod these fair corridors of learning. When Mr. Herr said Girls make Appels fall he hit the proverbial nail on its beezer. Bob, with his Maxwell and Coal-breaker Wood make quite a trio. Bob expects to be a lawyer. He'll make a good one too, for with that line of his, he could swing a jury, judge, audience and even the opposing Witnesses themselves. Whew! Leave us up. He is always busy but he never does much because he is a good boss. His one weakness was calling meetings of the Vidette staff when none of the boys could be present but himself. Au Revoire! Give the rest of the world a chance. ' ROLAND ARTHUR Art General Course Scientific Society 141g Senior Play Committee 141. Here he is! Behold! Our strong man. Art bids fair to be the world's champion heavyweight wrestler. We un- derstand that he spends quite a bit of time at the Y train- ing. Now we know why he's not afraid to talk to the teachers, they're scared. 1So're we.1 We have been for a 20 VIDETTE ANNUAL long time, trying to get something on him as far as women are concerned but so far we have had to check out in minus qualities. Well, good-bye Art, come to see us when you are Nabisco's only rival.

Sh! Gaze upon that noble countenance surmounted with that shock of vasolined hair. Harry had his picture taken recently and the only thing he liked about it was the frame. Can he dance? He says so. At least he tries to dance. He is a Walking cafeteria and supplies our whole physics class with lunch. He is going to be a millionaire-he told us so. For pastime he buys two tickets to the Fulton and then puts his hat on one seat.

Who doesn't know this girl? They always say Good goods come in small packages, and we know it is true in this case. If you don't believe it, ask Charley H.g he can tell you. Dot is the most popular girl in our class. Wher- ever there is a crowd of boys, you may be sure Dot will be in the center, for they all like our little sport. And in gym class she sure is some squad leader. No matter what you may do Dot, We wish you luck. MARGARET BAIR Peg Commercial Course Glee Club 11-2-3-455 Commercial Club 145. Alas! Everyone knows Galloping Ann, the renowned heart breaker. She is extremely fond of the opposite sex, especially the older ones. Peg is a never failing source of mirth and jollity. She is never bothered with Worrying over her school Work and believes that work is injurious to the mind and bodyg so she is very conservative in that line. The class of '25 Wishes you happiness if you decide to settle down as a housewife. VIDETTE ANNUAL 21 KATHRYN E. BECHTOLD Kit, Kay General Course Glee Club 1459 Modern Authors Club 145. ' God bless the man who iirst invented sleep. So Sancho Panza said and so say I. It's the same old cry with Kit every day- Gee, how I hate to get up in the morning. We wonder who the tall sheik is that Kit is often seen with-never mind, Kit, we don't blame you, we would too. If you Want to find Kit any night after school, you can find her at Smithgalls. Our wishes for the best of luck go with him when she leaves S. H. S. ANNA BERGAN Anne Classical Course Science Club 145. Anne certainly is our spelling champion. She almost won the championship, but fortune turned against her at the last minute. Never mind that, though, Anne, it wasn't your fault. Anne is very studious and earned some very high marks during her two-year stay with us. She doesn't talk much, but when she gets started, she sure can give you a line. She will either join the group marching toward Millersville next fall, or enter a business college. Whatever your ambitions may be, Anne. they are destined to be crowned with the richest rewards.

A low and gentle voice, woman's greatest charm. The mention of this name calls to mind a little blue-eyed maiden, always busy and sunny tempered. She is one of the most active members in the class and received second prize in a recent essay contest. Mini has always been Very much concerned about her lessons and she loves the tap tap of her typewriter keys. We have seldom heard her speak of boys, which would lead us to think that they have a favorite place in her thoughts. Never mind, Mini, here's success to you and the good Wishes of the Whole class.

N VIDETTE ANNUAL 23 GLADYS BINKLEY Binh Classical Course Mythology Club 141. We welcomed Gladys to our ranks in her Junior year, and what a splendid scholar and loyal classmate she has proved to be. She is very studious and toils away at her lessons with an ever willing and persevering zeal-especially the period preceding Physics class. Her pleasant and cheerful smile has won her many friends. The best wish we can give her is that her life may run as smoothly as her two years' sojourn at S. H. S. BARBIE L. BRACKBILL Bobby,' I Commercial Course Modern Authors Club 1415 Commercial Club 141. Her modest looks the cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. Barbie is a rather timid-looking young lassie, but looks are deceiving. Barbie always has her lessons done, although she is too timid to recite. To look upon this beautiful and innocent face, you would think she isn't in the romantic world, but we know differently. Barbie has one weakness- blushing. Bobby certainly has the most beautiful red cheeks anyone ever saw. Her ambition is to work in an ofiice, sincerely yours, Bobbie. RICHARD K. CHAMBERS Whity, Dick, Woggin Track 1115 Baseball 1115 Orchestra 1215 Glee Club 1215 Orchestra 1315 Baseball 131. Woggy Chambers-here he is-there he goes- Too tired. He is a frequent caller on St. Peter at the gates of Heaven but he always admitted at Paradise-He's fond of dancing, sleeping and hooking school-indeed if he spent as much time on his tennis as he does hooking school he would be able to knock off- Sleepy King. His main ambi- tion is to become a Pool Shark. MILTON BRYNER Milt General Course Orchestra 12-3-415 Flower Committee 1415 Junior Varsity Tennis 13-415 Class Track 11-21. This lucky young man only comes to school in the morn- ings. The rest of the time he works. He is quite a tennis player, but he says they make the rackets too small. He thinks a post-graduate is one who has graduated from a correspondence school. Well, good luck, to you. 24 VIDETTE ANNUAL VIRGINIA BRALLIER Gi1mey Commercial Course Glee Club Q3-455 Music Club 145. Music hath charms. So says Virginia. Virginia is quite an accomplished pianist and some day we hope to see her name in blazoned letters among the world's greatest musicians. Yes, you can do it, Virginia. Gin also sings in the Organized Chorus and her rich alto voice is quite a valuable addition. She doesn't talk much, so we can't find out her plans for the future. Whatever ambitions she has, we are sure they are of the loftiest type. Nevertheless, we hope she follows her musical talent. Good luck from all the class, Virginia. HARRY MARTIN BINKLE Wcw'py General Course Varsity Football 1455 Class Baseball and Basketball C2-359 Haw- thorne Literary Society C35. VVhenever you hear M-in-m-m-in-ahha you know Warpy is near.

It is not a crime to be short, In fact it is becoming. Dotty may be short in stature, but this deficiency, if it is a deficiency, is more than balanced by her quiet and pleasing manner. She is very quiet, but when she speaks, she has something to say. It is her intent to enter Normal School in the Fall and to eventually teach. However, her greatest ambition is to go abroad and to see the wonders of Europe. Remember, Dor- othy that no matter where your adventures may lead you, the good Wishes of '25 go with you. May success attend you, Dotty. VIDETTE ANNUAL 25 ANNA BUCKWALTER Anne Classical Course Tennis Club 141g Debating Club 1315 Science Club 1413 Class Cheer Leader 1415 Social Committee 141. To look at this lassie one would not believe that her greatest weakness is eating. But so it is. Ann's cry, got anything to eat, can be heard morning, afternoon and night. She has another feature which makes her different from the rest of the girls. That is her deep, well-trained voice, which she can control much better than the shrilling giggles that burst forth from the vocal organs of other girls. Whatever the future holds in store for you, the class of '25 wishes you success. RUTH BROWN Teddy General Course Glee Club 1415 Scientific Club 1415 Invitation Committee 141. Ruth seems to be one of our quiet girls but when she- starts, she is a very good rival for Chatter, Ruth might be Pearl's twin, since one is very seldom seen without the other. By the way, she seems very fond of church plays. We wonder-shi. She aspires to become a teacher af'ter finishing at Normal. It will be a very musical school judging from the active part she has taken in the Glee Club. Well, good luck! We know With your sunny disposition you will become a success! HILDA BRUBAKER HfildCL,,' JCl.Ck t Commercial Course 1 Commercial Club 141g Jingle 141. This is the clock of Stevens High. The teachers know it is time for the last bell to ring when Hilda comes drifting in. But she hates to leave home till the last minute, and then she runs to school. Do the boys know her? Sure. When she is at dance, her program is always full, but there is one person especially she likes to dance with. Who? Johnny, of course. You don't know his last name. Why, Murray is quite a popular name. Even though she is the last to arrive at school she will be one of the first to win success.

ANNA MARY CHARLES Jack General Course Historian 147 g President Dramatic Club 145 3 Social Committee 1335 Chairman, Ring and Pin Committee, 145 Chairman, Class Day Program 1453 Senior Play 142. - In the right pew, but the wrong church. This quiet, unassuming, attentive 1'???J young lady is the life of the class and one of its most popular members. She is known as a jolly good sport, who is always Willing to help someone and to laugh at ajoke. Jack is not positive as to her work after leaving school, but may enter M. S. N. S. in September. If we may take a peek into the future, we may visualize our Jack in a one- room schoolhouse teaching the village children the three R's.

A Wise man never blows his 'knows'. Kit came to us in our Senior year and has proven herself invaluable to the class. She takes great interest in music elocution, F. Kz lVI. and the Loaf-a-Lot Club, helping to live up to its name. Her favorite movie star is Larry Semon. We Wonder Why??'? She exhibited great ability in the Senior play. Kit expects to take up elocution, but we think it most likely will be Domestic Science. We Wish her the greatest success in Whatever she undertakes. EDNA DELLET DeZ ' Commercial Course Modern Authors C45 5 Commercial Club 145 3 Decoration Com- mittee 145. Here is our champion talker and laughte1'. If an uproar is raised in any class, you may be sure you will hear Del's ' voice above all others. Not that we don't like to hear it, for We sure do. And jokes! Dell sure can tell about the night before and also springs off some original ones. This girl likes to go machine-riding. We don't know what the attrac- tion is, but there must be one.

And her modest manner and graceful air, Show her as good as she is fair. Kit or Dyse as she is sometimes called is of a very' pleasant disposition with a smile for everyone. She has taken the commercial course and plans to be a stenographer.. She is a member of the Honor Society and is very active in school Work, being one of the representatives sent to Har-A risburg in the typing contest.

VIDETTE ANNUAL 29 PAULINE DAUM NDCl.'ZL'I7Z'i6,'U Paul General Course Secretary, Nature Study Club 145g Athletic Association 11-21. Faithful to her trust, . And constant to the end. Pauline's a quiet and good-natured girl and never gets into any serious trouble. She is the only one in S. H. S. who can sharpen pencils for the teachers and she is also a favorite in biology class. Paul' 'is also very fond of chem- istry. Pauline's ambition is to be a nurse and we are sure she will be successful in a sick room with her quiet and soothing ways. All the best wishes of the class of 1925 go with you. MARY COSNER Pol General Course Cooking Club 145. - Mary is our little lassie from the country. She looks quite innocent, doesn't she? Well, looks are deceiving, for one day Mary almost swore in English class! There, weren't you shocked? Of course, it was purely accidental, wasn't it, Mary? This child's greatest fault is quarreling with Dot. However, We suppose she'll outgrow that before she becomes a country schoolma'm. Or is it housekeeper? Whatever she undertakes, We know she'1l succeed in if she sticks to it as she has a Trig for the last hve months. Best luck, Mary! WILLIAM K.

He has a common name but he does un- common things such as running for trolley cars, etc. He goes with a girl whose name-first one-is common also, but she must be a magnet the way Peanut flies to her.

Incidentally if a fellow asks him for the best sweets store in town he will undoubt- edly direct him to the Cinderella Inn. In the afternoon when the school is closed 1to him5 he takes up golf at Long's Park under the supervision of Stella. Rod take a hint and stay oif of the main highways after the golf lesson is finished. Rod's favorite pastime is hunting Fish at Hoeltzel's Academy of Fine Arts.

And now let us introduce the most foretful, the most absentminded, the most original, the most stupid, the most brilliant member of the class of 1925. Virgil says that woman is a creature of various moods and changes, and having known Jane for four years, we are forced to agree with him. Jane keeps us ever in suspense. We never know what she will do nextg in fact she herself doesn't know. However, Jane, we like you remember, There are things to remember, And things to forget. But the thing to remember Is not to forgetl-us. 32 VIDETTE ANNUAL EMMA M.

I-Iere's one of the clever dancers of our class g Emma just loves to dance. And heart? She certainly is tender-hearted -always ready to share anyone elses troubles. Em was .always willing to help the teachers, especially if she could get out of shorthand class. When Emma was absent every- body was pale-no rouge could be found. Alas! this poor child is in love. Her thoughts wander far from lessons. She dreams of Ivan all day. long. We send you and-our best wishes. MILDRED FALK Mil Commercial Course Commercial Club 1415 Basketball 13-41. Lo and behold!

She not only was a great help to our team, but ask the girls on -other teams what they think about her. They will tell you she is a stcvr. When Mil doesn't play basketball, she puts some pep into every person else by her cheering. This is about the only way we hear about Mil.

She is always smiling, no matter What's up. Keep it up, Luella, and you will be bound to succeed. Luella is one of our Honor Society girls, which fact tells you a lot about her. She expects to go to Millersville, and we are sure if she accomplishes as much in the next four years as she has in her four at S. H. S. we will hear great things of her in the future. So here's best Wishes from the class of '25, Luella. VIDETTE ANNUAL 33 LAURA GERHART J e1'fry General Course Tennis Club 145, Glee Club 11-2-3-455 Music Club 1455 Basket- ball 125. Be not the first by whom the new art tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. Laura sincerely believes in this theory in more ways than one. First, she believes in it very literally especially in Trig. Everyday we hear something like this, Do you have your Trig? How do you do the sixth question? Then soon we see her writing' mysterious words over her Trig paper. But strange to say the same two words are repeated again and again. Here is Where the second belief comes in. She thinks the oldest of old institutions is just grand. Need we tell you what it is? Those two words. 1S-m. S.--5 have given it away. Well good luck!

Ask Bee to do something for you and if it is possible in any way she sure will be right there to help you. If you were to see a write-up in the paper about a young lady winning a wonderful prize for shorthand, you may be sure it will be Bee.

All who know her like her but some more than others. And does she like Buds? I should say she does, not only candy buds either. They are all right at times but she prefers human Buds. There is one thing Bert hates to do and that is type. How could she be expected to concentrate on typewriting when so many things occupy her mind-especially Pequea.

All her vacations are spent in Philadelphia, and We believe she will make her future home there either as a competent business Woman or somebody's better half.

A friend to all, through thick and thin. Sarah is one of the kindest and most sympathetic girls in the class. She seems just like from Pandora's box. Sarah is one of a large family and probably that is what makes her so unselfish. If so, we wish there were just lots of large families. Her great ambition is to do kindergarten work. We know your pupils will love you. Success! KATHRYN RODMAN Kate General Course Old Testament Narrative Club 1413 Modern Authors Club 1415 Athletic Association 121.

Incidentally, she is very fond of birds. especially Robins, and Bob -whites. Her favorite study is Englishg she just shines in quotations and authors. She is a very amiable girl, of whom we think a great deal. She expects to complete her course at Millersville and become a teacher. We wish you success. HELEN ROHRER Teddy General Course Modern Authors Clubg Basketball 1315 Athletic Association 141. A still tongue makes a wise head, believes and prac- tises Helen.

The Fates have blessed this gentle creature with infinite patience which will be a great asset to her in her career as a teacher, for she, too, Will spend several years in the oft heard of insti- tution at Millersville. Remember, Helen, Patience is a Virtue. VIDETTE ANNUAL 53 MAURINE ROHRERBACK Mceuri'ne General Course Dramatic Club 141. This lass hails from the sunny South. Silence seems to be her rule of life. Maurine has a very vivid imagination and a keen sense of humor, both of which she has displayed in English class, to the entertainment of everyone. She, also, will go to Millersville next year. Maurine prefers thoroughness to speed, and has earned the good-will of all who know her. We are sure you will make a name for your- self, Maurine, if you follow your literary genius. May your later efforts along this line be as interesting to your class- mates as your English themes. FORREST B.

Bob likes the opposite sex very much. Not saying who. MIRIAM ROTH Mmm General Course Glee Club 11-2-313 First Aid Clubg Social Committee 131. My own thoughts are my own companions. This modest, mild, good-natured girl is the most quiet girl we have ever known, her motto being the one about being seen and not heard.

This young lassie is the noisiest girl in the class when you consider her size. But Shenny is a real sport, always on hand with a kind and energetic spirit. She never gets cross at anyone-1except her typewriter once in awhile when it persists in making mistake-:s1. School work never bothered her much and she never Worried over it, although she went sailing through her eventful four years. She took the commercial course and plans to be a stenographer. Her belief seems to be Never cross the bridge until you come to it. Nevertheless, Shenny, We all see a great future ahead of you.

We are afraid she is inclined to dreaming. Much as may be said against the habit, it has been stated that it is to dreamers that the world owes its great men and women. Melba comes from the wild and woolly West. Last Summer she returned to her native state, and we all know that there are the most handsome cowboys to be found there. Ask Melba, she can tell you. DEBORA SMITH Deb Commercial Course Glee Clubg Modern Authors Club 1413 Commercial Club 1415 Ath- letic Association 121. There is a law in electricity that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. This must be true in human nature also. For Debora, is a very good friend of Ethel Nixdorf. Debora is very quiet and the most noise We hear from her is when she runs the typewriter. Husbands usually complain that their wives talk so much they can't get a Word in edgewise. As this would not be true of Debora, we recommend her to prospective bride- grooms. VIDETTE ANNUAL 57 GRACE A.

She has a lovable disposition and, in addition to being our esteemed president, is a member of the Honor Society. During her four years at S. H. S. she has been very active in all school affairs. Shunkie has a host of friends among all pupils of the school as well as her own class, and there is none more faithful. If all that is contained in local gossip is true, we shall all expect to hear of Grace's trip to Alaska after graduation.

There's a little bit of bad in every good little girl. Alcesta is an earnest worker, doing her allotted tasks conscientiously and as a true student, finding great pleasure therein. She appears to the outside world as a quiet unas- suming and man-shy little miss-but-you can't judge a book by its cover.

OUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS Our high school days-What do they mean to us? They should mean days of profit. We should have gained from our years at high school many lessons as to how to get the most benefit out of any future education which We may receive. Those of us who have realized their true purpose in coming here have gained this. To those who have not clearly seen the benefit of their years here, I want to say that you have at least had good company and their influence upon you will be noticed later on. Not many of us see our big chance to learn something which Will help us greatly. If all students saw this the problem of teaching Would be much simpler. No matter where you go or what position you hold in life, you Will never forget your best days-days at Lan- caster High School. ROBERT MCCAA. VIDETTE ANNUAL 73 DON'T FORGET THE BEST There is an old fable which goes something like this,- Once upon a time there was a boy playing on a mountain- side. Suddenly he saw a beautiful flower with petals of pure white and a heart of gold. As was natural, he plucked the flower, and, upon doing so, saw a door open in the mountain. He looked inside and saw, sitting in the corner of a dimly lighted hall, a goblin. The latter invited him to take some diamonds which Were'in gold caskets in another part of the hall. He eagerly filled his pockets With the precious stones and turned to go away. But the goblin interrupted him saying, 'Don't forget the best.' Upon looking around, he saw a door, which led to another room. He entered and found caskets filled with rubies as large as quarters, and filled his other pockets. Again he turned to go, and again the goblin repeated, 'Don't forget the best! The boy looked to the other side of the hall and saw another door. On entering, -he saw a room in which there were caskets nlled with emeralds as large as half-dollars. As all his pockets were full, he put some emeralds in his cap. He saw no more doors and thinking that he had surely found the best, approached the exit, exceedingly happy in his newly found riches. But the goblin again interrupted him with, 'Don't forget the best! He could not understand what the little man was trying to tell him, so he Went out. Immediately the door closed and he again found himself on the mountain side. But alas! he felt in his pockets and found leaves, he looked in his cap and saw dry leaves. He had forgotten the best, the key, the flower with which he had started. Let us apply this little story to our own lives. The hall in the mountain is our school, in which we acquire priceless wealth. But after graduation has closed its doors, do we find only dry leaves in our possession? Have we, too, al- lowed the warnings of our superiors to pass unheeded in our eagerness to get an education? Do we find our educa- tion useless because it lacks the primary essential, charac- ter? Let each one answer these questions for himself. Allow me again to repeat, Don't forget the best. A. SLICHTER. SOMETIMES FATAL He- Do you think kissing is as dangerous as the doc- tors say? She- Well, it has put an end to a good many bachelors. 74 v1DETTE ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT, THE BEGINNING At last we come to the climax of our High School career, -Commencement. We think of the glorious day as the end of our High School days, and so it is, but did you ever stop to think that it is, also, just what the name implies, the Commencement of something bigger and more im- portant than even that time in our lives. ' It is the beginning of the life in which we are more inde- pendent. Although many of us are going to continue our school days in various halls of learning, many also are going into the business world to make a name for themselves. We have for four years been preparing for this time, and now are ready to face life for the first time. However, whatever comes we must not and will not forget our dear High School, the wonderful opportunities which we had there, and also the good times. We are now leaving our Alma Mater hoping to have helped in the uplifting and improvement of it and leave the place of honor to the on- coming class. May they uphold the standards as well as, or even better than we have. A. SWIFT. TO THE CLASS OF '25 Four years have passed and here we stand To say good-bye, dear Alma Mater, Father Time has led us by his hand And now we face an unknown future. - Four years we've spent within these walls, Four years we've dwelt that me might gain, Four years we've answered to the calls Of duty-but yet they're not in vain. We've walked beneath our floating colors The white, an emblem of peace and right Maroon, a symbol of love and valor 'Till we'd die to shield them with our might. Our flower-it, too, must play a part In our journey onward through this life, The rose, perfect love and noble heart. Our deeds, let it guide them, through the strife. VIDETTE ANNUAL 75 Here our last words we have written On the scroll of High School days. The vague future to us is hidden To it We look for guiding rays. Let Deeds not Words be e'er our guide Our teachers dear have taught us. To them we turn with greatest pride, To them we owe the greatest price. The rugged paths we've climbed with them Now shall be our lot to climb alone, And the many thanks we owe them, Can ne'er be repaid When We are gone. And last of all-to us most dear Right is might -let it prevail! In life's great struggle to achieve, Remembering-there's no such word as fail. Let us then be on our way with gladness Ever onward--ever doing right Having no regrets or sadness, For from today our school is Life. MIRIAM I. BINKLE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1925 As I have learned, a history is a systematic record of past events. With this in mind I shall try to tell the History of the Class of 1925. On September 1, 1921, we as Freshmen entered the doors -of Stevens High School, little realizing that we at once became an important part of this institution. As can be expected, we were timid and shyg spoke seldom except when spoken to, and were very grateful when an upper classman ,spoke kindly to us or answered our questions as to where our various classes were held. However, this year passed quickly and we soon found when we left in June, We were no longer Freshmen but-Sophomores. In our Sophomore year a few very important happen- ings occurred. We very easily filled our positions as Sopho- mores and eagerly answered Freshmen's questions, remem- bering how we had honored upper classmen when we were Freshmen. This year a committee was appointed to select '76 VIDETTE ANNUAL ourclass colors. They very a1'tfully selected-Maroon and White. Then our pennants were designed and We felt that this committee did its very best in the choice' of them. Then, on June twentieth, at Long's Park, We held a Class. Picnic. It was the first social affair in our career, and do you Wonder Why We feel so proud of it? It may be a sur- prise to.hear of this, because as We Weren't supposed to hold social affairs, We kept it a secret. Thus our Sopho- more year drew to a close. Every year We grew more and more important, and With-- out a doubt felt our importance. This year we organized our class. The ofiicers elected Were: President, Dorothy Adams, vice-president, Kathryn Dysingerg secretary, Grace Schaumg treasurer, Kathryn Miller. These girls imme- diately co-operated with our very able and Worthy advisor, Miss Mumma, and the necessary committees were ap-- pointed. Probably the most important event was that of getting' our class sweaters. They were in the class colors andi pleased the girls greatly. In this year we also held a num- ber of social functions, including a doggie roast, which was held at Williamson's Park and was enjoyed immensely. We followed the custom of the previous classes and enter- tained the High Junior Class. This Was in the form of a. I-IalloWe'en Party in our gymnasium. It is not in our place' to pronounce this affair a success, although we sincerely hope it Was. Then in March We held a St. Patrick's Party' With the boys. This Was also held in our gymnasium. It was a great success, and it was there that our class really began to know one another. The time then passed rapidly' and so ended our third year. Before realizing it, We were upon the beginning of our' most important stay in Stevens High School. We were at last Seniors-hoping to be looked up to and honored as We- had honored the Seniors before us. The following officers. were soon elected: President, Grace Schaumg vice-president, Jane Freeman, secretary, Ardath Lengelg treasurer, Kath-- ryn Miller. These officers Worked hard for us all year and We now Wish to thank them for their untiring efforts to' make our class successful and worthy to be remembered.. In the early part of the year we received our rings.. We couldn't agree with the boys on a design, and so We designed one for ourselves, much to our satisfaction. We held a' doggie roast at Williamson's Park in the early part of the semester. It Was well attended and enjoyed by every- body. On December fifth We held our first and never to be: VIDETTE' ANNUAL 77 forgotten dance,-The Reception. It was held in the boys' gymnasium and was a huge success. These are the im- portant events of our first semester as Seniors. On Feb- ruary second we found ourselves occupying the place of honor on the platform in Chapel. How we had looked for- ward to this privilege and how happy we were to have achieved this honor! This semester has passed so quickly that we scarcely realize it is time to leave our Alma Mater. No social functions were held in the early part of this semester but none of us will forget our final dance. This was the last time we gathered socially as Seniors and every- body enjoyed themselves thoroughly. And now we are about to end our career in Stevens High School. Some will go on, in other institutions of learning. Others will immediately step over the threshold and out into lifeg but whatever may be our station we will never forget our days here. Let us hope that others remember it as we shall, and above all that we have left something here, even though it be invisible, that will be everlasting and will keep alive the memory of the Class of 1925. ANNA MARY CHARLES. CLASS SONG Tune: The Szmshine of Your Smile. Farewell to the school that was so dear to me, We'll n'er forget no matter Where We'11 be, The golden days we've spent within its halls, Were from the Autumn till the Summer called.. Chorus: Come let us bid our teachers all adieu, The principal and school-mates, friends so true, And as we go to finish life's career, We'11 hold in memory our High School days so dear. As the busy days go very quickly by For this aim we as a class shall strive: As the pleasant memories through our minds will fly To always remember the class of twenty-five. a JOSEPHINE HAVERSTICK. Father- I never smoked when I was your age. Will you be able to say that to your son when you grow up? Willie- Not with such a straight face as you do, father. You beat me there. - 78 VIDETTE ANNUAL CLASS POEM : GRADUATION Our school days now are at an end, And friends, though dear, may part, Now into life at last we go, With joy, though sick at heart. The longed-for time has come at last, Our graduation day, And though we pass from out our school, Our hearts will always stay. When out in life's great battle, And friends both live and thrive, I hope you'l1 ne'er forget, Your dear old class of twenty-five. Recall the joyous times we had, VVithin these four short years, This tragedy of parting, Right well deserves our tears. Truth is might, it shall prevail In every walk of life, In college, office, everywhere, You'll find it's always right. Let's try and live our motto, Just this I beg you do, So that sometime your school and class, May well be proud of you. JOSEPH PARKS. CLASS HISTORY As the class of 1925 has now reached the highest possible pinnacle of success in high school life, the dignity of Seniors about to graduate from their Alma Mater, let us turn and review the past events which occurred on the steep and rocky path leading to the goal of graduation. Unlike other Freshmen classes, we were not subjected to the taunts and jeering of the upper classmen. We became organized in a remarkably short time under efficient officers. Although we were green and untried, we soon discarded our grade school manners and participated in the various school activities. We placed two out of three members on the de- VIDETTE ANNUAL 79 bating team, something unusual for a freshman class and by so doing We Won the admiration of the upper classmen. , Having graduated from our first year, We were cloaked in the dignity of added years and attacked with new zeal those- obstacles which confronted us. We selected our class colors, Maroon and White, and received our pennants which are unrivaled in beauty. This year our class, which no others have done, furnished three men for varsity football, two for varsity basketball and three for varsity track. Each and every one performed brilliantly on their respective teams. This year We gave three men to the debating team. The outstanding social functions of the year were our doggie roast and class picnic held at 'Long's Park. They will be recalled with the fondest memories by all who attended. We entered upon our Junior year with new vigor and courage. To steer the course of our class We elected: Presi- dent, Park Yarnallg vice-president, Edgar Wallickg secre- tary, Clarence McCue, and treasurer, William Davis. The members of our class entered heartily into various school activities fulfilling the promise which they originally gave as being one of the best classes of the school. One of the conspicuous events of the year, and above all, the most en- tertaining, was our class party held in the gymnasium of the Girl's High School. The main features of the evening Were the old fashioned kissing games Cplayed outsideb, which were enjoyed very much, especially by the boys. Last, but not least was the appearance of Sleepy King introducing collegiates. This year We came into the lime- light in athletics by the superior playing of our varsity ath- letes. The class athletes showed good form by ending second in the class basketball league, Winning the baseball championship and Winning both the indoor and outdoor track meets. Passing the third year made us Seniors. We at last reach the height of our ambition to be dignified and authoritative Seniors. In February the Mid-Twenty-five class KM-'25J graduated, leaving us the leaders of the school. To guide us safely through a long and hazardous year, a most capable leader, Roberts Appel, for presidentg vice-president, William Ruttg secretary, Harry Banzhof, and treasurer, Parke Yar- nall, were chosen. We were allowed to have two social functions, reception and prom, in our Senior year. They were the most successful affairs ever held by any class grad- uating from this school both socially and financially. Our class rings and pins were received with much admiration. 80 VIDETTE ANNUAL The flower committee selected a very beautiful flower-red and White rose. Our motto, Magna est Veritas et Prevale- bit was the guiding light of the 1925 class through our High School days, and shall continue to be in after life. In the athletic World we easily distinguished ourselves as in other years. VVe furnished men for the respective varsity teams as it Was the custom of our class to do. In class ath- letics We Were very successful. We can at least boast of a Jyarsity captain, Richard Silvius, captain of the football eam. New distinction came upon our class when honors were Won by William Davis in the Essay Contest. In the ora- torical contest six of thirteen contestants were members of our class. The Winner being Robert Appel, our class president, second being a member of our class. While in the commercial World, Paul Erisman and Clarence McCue brought laurels for the annals of the school. These inciu dents show the superior ability of the members of the 1925 class. Let the flourishing conditions of our school societies Cachieved only under our leadershipj be taken into consid- eration. Let innumerable other Ways in which our class has developed the school in general be taken into account. These things all show that this, the Class of 1925, has been a success from all viewpoints. Our failings and mistakes Were many but they have been helpful. This we believe is the best legacy We can leave to the undergraduates and We trust they Will profit as We have by these experiences and cause Lancaster High to stand foremost in all that is true and best. RONALD SCOTT '25. APPROPRIATE A minister preached a strong sermon on temperance one Sunday morning, telling his congregation that if he had the authority, he Would pour all strong drink into the river. I And the closing hymn was, Shall We Gather at the River? Didn't I see the grocer's boy kiss you this morning Mary. Yes'mg but he ain't to blame. 'Twas the iceman set him the bad example. K 1 Mari 82 VLDETTE ANNUAL . BOYS' SPORT HISTORY We' will not boast of our achievements, which at first glance, may not appear as commendable as those of former classes. However, we Wish to show how our athletes cov- ered all fields of sport in both varsity and class teams. In our first days as Freshmen we entered the basketball league under the leadership of Levy. Although we had a green team. which showed a lot of pep, we showed up better than the traditional last place by finishing third. By the time our second year rolled around we placed one athlete in the varsity ranks in the person of Dick Silvius. Before we were prepared for it, the basketball season was here, and We again finished in third place. The team was led by Capt. Loeb. Our track team regained us some pres- tige by capturing second place that year. VIDETTE ANNUAL 83 Our third year found more of our class represented in major sports. Appel placed in tennis and Silvius in foot- ball and basketball. Three men placed on the school track team-Sullivan, Parks and Scott. During our senior year we were better represented on the varsity teams as ten men received letters. This being our last year we made the best possible showing in basket- ball by capturing the championship by virtue of Simon's excellent coaching. When it came to baseball, our disor- ganized team, although composed of excellent players, was forced to recognize the superiority of the lower classes. Under the new coaching staff junior varsity teams were formed but due to class rank only one was able to gain a place in basketball. In tennis we were represented by two players, Appel and Steinford. The team was managed by Ergood and had a very successful season. The golf club depreciated in interest this year. We were fortunate in having Dick Silvius as captain of the football team. His team went through a very suc- cessful season and his former experience aided him in pilot- ing the team so well. It is the sincere wish of the class of 1925 that the spirit and standard of sportmanship will not be stemmed and that the classes to follow will take a keen interest in athletics. We did our best to raise the standards but now We leave the problem to the lower classes and We hope they will suc- cessfully solve it. Following is a list of the various fellows in our class who vsigri glilvegi letters in recognition of their services to good o . . . . . Basketball ...... ..........

The Senior B's met the Senior A's and the game resulted in a tie. In the following game the score was tie at the end of the third quarter, but the Senior B's forged ahead in the last quarter, and our girls were defeated.

These two girls showed great teamwork in the class games, and played to the best of their ability to uphold the stand- ard of the class of '25. Those who played in the guard positions were Myrtle Witmer and Margaret Herr, captain. Myrt has the mak- ing of a great athlete, as anyone who saw her play can testify. These two guards did their best against the fast Senior B forwards and acquitted themselves nobly. Kit Hershey was our tall and able center, accompanied by diminutive Delia Myer as side center. Both of these girls displayed great ability and enthusiasm, and in the course of the games won the admiration of the whole class. Next comes Jane Freeman, sub-guard and a loyal and staunch supporter of the team when she was not playing. Vtfe owe Jane many thanks for her activity and good-will while a member of the squad. Tennis season having arrived, it was decided to open the Stevens High School Tennis Tournament under the able direction of the gymnasium instructor, Miss Pearson. The Senior girls who entered the tournament are: Dor- othy Adams, Sarah Lowry. Laura Gerhart, Elizabeth Ham- mond, Aline Swift, Jane Freeman, Ivy Smith, Anna Buck- walter and several others. It is our hope that these girls will show the spirit of '25 and eventually bring home the bacon. MARGARET HERR. l V l W 1 J VIDETTE ANNUAL 87 THE WHOLE TOWN'S TALKING ' ABOUT THE SENIOR PLAY That was given May first in the Boys' High School audi- torium. It was without a doubt the best Senior play that any Lancaster audience has ever witnessed. It was snappy, full of pep, and was supported by an excellently picked cast. William Rutt, '25, as Chester Benney, the shrewd but socially stupid business partner of Mr. Simmons, acted his part to perfection, keeping the house in a continual uproar. He deserves great merit for his fine work. The part of the sophisticated Ethel Simmons was very cleverly taken by Elsie Stauffer, '25. Her acting showed much talent and ability and she will go far. Mr. Henry Simmons, a prosperous paint manufacturer in the small town of Sandusky, Ohio, was extremely well por- trayed by Benjamin Knowles, M-'26. Kathryn Cooper, '25, as Mrs. Simmons, made an excel- lent matron, carrying off her part with perfect poise and dignity. Ethel Swain, M-.26, scored quite a hit as the actress, Miss Letty Lythe, and was indeed very striking. The Frenchman, Roger Shields, better known to us all as Jack Marshall, M-'26, cut quite a dashing figure with his polished manners and flowery speeches. Donald Swift, the ex-prize fighter and motion picture director, was well played by Herbert Poole '25. Herbie was just the type that was needed for the part. Petite Anna Mary Charles, as Annie the maid, pleased everyone by her' saucy manner and dainty appearance. Iva Smith, as Lila Wilson was the scream of the play. Her excited lisped comments on everything threw the audience into spasms of laughter. Mary Hippie as Sally Otis, her girl friend, was charming. Oh! and we must not forget the taxi-cab driver. Nobody could have taken the part better than Soc Steinford. But the credit of most of it all belongs to one who worked hard and faithfully to make the play the huge success that it was-Mr. William Lester Atcheley. The committee contributed to the play by their hard work and good will. Kunzler as carpenter, Herr as a sky hawk, and Hoffman as Secretary and Business Manager, made the play better by their work and good will, Hoffman being particularly in evidence by his executive ability. 88 NIDETTE ANNUAL WOULD THE '25 CLASS BE FAMOUS IF: Ruth Linville would not be cooped up?

DISILLUSIONED Irate Parent- Sir, why did you kiss my daughter last night in that dark corner? . I Flaming Youth- Now that I've seen her in the light, I sort of wonder myself. 'y 1' VIDETTE ANNUAL 89 GIRLS OF '25 IN 1935 Having been informed that I was to reveal the future of the class of 1925 I decided that it was impossible for my feeble mind to penetrate the future of so wonderful a class. Hence, I decided to visit the chamber of the Magic Magi. Upon entering his chamber these words fell on my ear, Chl daughter of the Class of 1925, your mission to my humble cell is to learn the mysteries of your illustrous class, is it not so? With astonishment I replied it was so. Then he led me through a candle-lit hall and into a spacious room, with a large cauldren in the center, from which circles of smoke ascended and an odor of heavy incense filled the room and I felt myself drifting, drifting, as if down an Italian stream in a gondola while sweet strains of music fell softly on my ears. I grew fainter and fainter until I scarce could hear it. When I awoke I found myself roaming in a beautiful garden in a fashionable Long Island home. Suddenly I heard a voice behind me, and I turned to greet my old classmate Aline Swift. She was delighted to see me and informed me that she was the Wife of the mayor of New York and that I had come at the most appropriate time, for she was entertaining a number of my old classmates, Whom she had gone to special pains to invite. As we walked toward the veranda we were met by Sarah Lowry, now a famous authoress, and Edna Dellet, who was known as a world famous artist, having made use of her talent. On the veranda I met Ethel Stauffer and Kathryn Cooper. Kathryn was about to make her debut in the Metropolitan Opera House in a month and Ethel was on the verge of a great event-namely, her marriage to a youthful acquaint- ance of hers and who is known as Jay to most of us. At the banguet which was given in honor of my un- expected arrival, I met Anna Bergan, Dorothy Caulfield, Rachael McBeth, Dorothy I-Ioffecker, Mary Cosner and Laura Gerhart. Anna was a physics professor, Dotty Caulfield was still the same sweet little thing she always was at Stevens High, and was now an important figure in Y. W. work. Rael McBeth was famous for her many mrrriages and if I re- member correctly she was about to attempt a Hfth union. Dotty I-Ioifecker and Mary Cosner were still the same old chums and had bachelor apartments where they entertained 90 VIDETTE ANNUAL extensively, and I don't suppose their visitors were always of the fair sex. Laura was roaming around it seemed, as I understood, on some money received at the decease of some wealthy relative. As my time was limited I left the next morning and sailed on the liner Stevens for Liverpool. Not feeling very well the first day out at sea I kept to my rooms. The second morning as I stepped from my stateroom I heard a voice calling Mimi and I turned to find Elva Hengst. She was on a trip to Europe for her health. She informed me that on her return she was going to be married to a chap from State As was most natural I asked about Marie Phillips and Katherine Dysinger, because they were always good friends. Katherine had become Tangora's rival and conqueror, while Marie was traveling with Katherine as her companion. Have you heard of any of the others? I asked. She had been back to Lancaster and dear old Stevens High just a month ago and she told me that Caroline Hoar and Charles Hastings were married right after graduation and now Caroline was busy taking care of her five children. She had been at the new Cosmopolitan Opera House in Lan- caster, which was under the direction of Ethel Nixdorf and her husband and she had found to her astonishment that the stock company was made up entirely of members of our class. Peg Herr was leading lady for the plays, and Bertha Hershey, Pauline Daum, Bibby Hammond, Erma Moser and Bertha Rice were other members of the company. It had been rumored for several weeks, Elva told me, that they anticipated a trip around the world. It seems good to hear about my class mates, and I too, have seen and heard about some of them, and I told her of my experiences. I told her about the old store that was owned by Mr. Klugh when we Went to school now belonging to Mrs. Ivan Schreiner, who with her husband had made a grand success of it. In matrimonial ventures our class was not lacking. Hilda Brubaker, as I had heard, was married about three months after graduation to Johnny, and just now I don't remember if it was Murray or Erisman. She was kept so busy at home with her little ones that she hadn't time to go to Maple Grove on Chisler's Night anymore. Ruth Linville was precisely in the same depths when it came to selecting the groom, at any 1'ate it wasn't long after graduation that she took the fatal step and I leave it for you to decide, class- mate, Whether it was Walter or Coop ?

On the rest of the matrimonial projects of our dear class- mates I am not so Well versed, so I shall just state them as follows: Dot Adams married her Charlie, My Boy g ,Kitty Becktold changed her name to Smithg Ruth Leachey moved to Landis Valley with a Landis, ask Kathryn Rod- man What's Become of Bobby g since Charlies are so com- mon, Sampy thought she would like to have one toog Elsie changed her name to Dellys g and of course, last but not lease, every one knows that our dear president could not resist Sammy's charms, so they became Sammy 8z Co. My journey with Elva had come to an end at this point and I left her in London while I journeyed on to France. In Paris I met Jane Freeman who was very successfully -carrying on a beauty shop and was specializing in new styles of Boy's Bob. While in her little shop one day I picked up a newspaper and it happened to be the Intell. The headlines read as follows: Charles Elected Mayore Carried by Men's Votes. Upon perusing further, I found it to be Anna Mary Charles, our old classmate who evidently had not lost her power over the opposite sex as was shown by this election. Gladys Binkley and Barbie Brackbill were ,also elected to minor oiiices. The first arrest under this new administration was that of Margaret Bair for having three Husbands at once. My sojourn in Paris was limited, and now the time was .at an end, so I embarked for Africa and arrived in the jungles of South Africa about a week later. My mission was to visit a little station in the south, where I found Anna Buckwalter at the head of it, and Catherine Swain in charge -of a little hospital there. Virginia Brallier and Sara Reese were also stationed. there and were doing a fine work for the natives. I inquired of Sara as to Anna's whereabouts and was told that she had gone to China where she had become a well known China painter for she had painted all the China in China. Sara's old chum, Helen Rohrer, had married a missionary and was living in Japan. Taking a southern air route I landed in Panama in twenty-four hours, where I was met by our old classmate Ardath Lengel. She had become private secretary to the -governor of the Isthmus. Ardath told be that Bee Lefever had just sent her word of her discovery of a gold mine in Alaska where she was living at her ease. As I was growing very homesick, I decided to return to my bachelor apartments in New York, and on my way back I would stop at Lancaster and see the remainder of my classmates. I traveled back by air, arriving in Lancaster in 92 VIDETTE ANNUAL a very short time, and of course, the very first place I went the next day was to Stevens High. In the office I found Luella Fryberger, who was dean of the school, and Alcesta Slichter, who was principal and a very capable one, too. At the opening exercises in Chapel I found that the student body had entire charge of the school, as student government was practiced to the highest degree. I inquired as to the rest of my classmates, and found that Myrt Witmer was gym instructor, Pearl Nystrom and Kit Oster were teaching Mathematics, Dorothy Stirling was Physics teacher, and Beryl Keller was teaching Trig, which as we all know was her favorite study when she attended Stevens High as a pupil. These were the girls who were so devoted to our dear Alma Mater that they just couldn't leave it, so they spent the remainder of their lives there. At a meeting of the Stevens High Alumni I procured the- last of my information. I learned Kate Miller had opened a kindergarten of her own and Ruth Krieder was assisting her. Melba Schlotzhauer had taken over Ella G. Ball's studio and was very successful. Kathryn Schoenberger, Debora Smith, Bee Marron, Tessa Leapman, Mildred Falk, and Helen Huebner were working in the business world and had succeeded admirably. Bee Gilgore had succeeded Schumann-Heink in singing for records. The wedding of Jo Haverstick and Dick Beckley had just taken place after the engagement had been broken three times. The news of Kathryn Hershey's marriage to a titled nobleman was caus- ing so much gossip. that the president, Dil Myers, had to call the meeting to order, and announced that they had two- famous members at their meeting, who would render an original program. The program was rendered by Ruth Brown and Elizabeth Myers, both of whom had gained fame in the literary world. As I left the meeting I heard soft strains of music draw- ing-near me. It grew louder and louder until it sounded' as if I were in the midst of Sousa's band. When I awoke I found myself facing the gray embers beneath the magic cauldron and the Magic Magi was look- ing into my eyes with satisfaction. The peculiar odor still filled the room. Suddenly I came to my senses and sprang to my feet, exclaiming: Where have I been? What have you done to me? You have been in the land of 1935, my child. But this can't possibly be true, why my classmates are scattered all over the world. VIDETTE ANNUAL 93 Yes, yes, that is the future of your class, did I not tell you that your class should be known all over the world ? Feeling quite satisfied at the outcome of my mission, I took leave of him. My work was finished, and all I can say is that I hope all these prophecies may be fulfilled. IVIIRIAM I. BINKLE. A DREAM OF THE FUTURE The other night I had a dream in which I saw the mem- bers of the class of 1925 as they will be in about twenty years. Of course the things which I dreamt were only sug- gested by my dream-mind and other people might have other dreams. However, I shall try to tell you the different things I saw and heard. I was back in Lancaster after many years of hard work as a conductor on an ocean liner-that is, I called out the stations between N ew York and London. I had come home to rest my voice and I had no sooner stepped off the train than Bob Appel asked me to buy some stock in his com- pany which was organizing to sell soft pretzels to the Es- kimos. I took some stock and then, stepping into a trolley, I saw Mr. Elsen who told me that he had a very good posi- tion as caretaker in a home for friendless cats. Just then we passed Banzhof's enormous cheese factory and Mr. Elsen told me that Harry had just issued a book on How Women Should Dress. Stepping off the car I met Mr. Binkle who told me that he had a job as janitor at the Boy's High School. I asked him what was going on in Lancaster that night and he told me that Prof. Custer was going to lecture on Why a Worm Has Two Ends g that Joe Parks was appearing at the Colonial as a trick bicycle rider and that the greatest attrac- tion was the big circus. I decided to go to the circus and there I saw many of my old friends. Reeser was the bearded lady, Arthur was the world's strongest man, and Edwards was the best clown under the big tents. I learned While at the circus that Mr. Pfautz the oil magnate just made an- other billion and that Wood was a prohibition enforcement oflicial out at Bozeman, Mont., being appointed by Mayor Yarnall. I also heard that Silvius was still playing basket- biallltand that Stienford was running a big taxi-cab out in 1 1 z. The next day I saw Sample slinging pancakes in Olkes' Quick Lunch Room. I went in and there I learned that Davis had just left for his annual elephant hunt in Africa. 94 VIDETTE ANNUAL He had taken along two mouse traps and expected to bring back a wife. VVhile I was eating Wallick came in and told me that he was a traveling salesman, selling 14K. holeproof toothbrushes. He must have been some kind of an alumni oiiicer for he knew where nearly all our classmates were. He told me that Laird was a literary critic and that his latest work was Shakspere as a Pup. He said that Smith was tickling the ivories in a museum where he was janitor, that Long was a tax collector at Neffsville, that Erisman who was Pres. of the Perforated Spaghetti Association, was ill from eating French friend jelly beans without the proper seasoning, that Dunlevy was a truant officer and that McCue was the sheriff of Dry Creek, Me. That night while on the way to hear Prof. Scott debate with Senator Gundaker on the question Should a Repub- lican be a Democrat ? I looked into King's Pool Room where Nicklaus was the bartender and saw Detective Hoff- man grab Herr by the neck and take him to the peniten- tiary where it was rumored he would make a long visit. I am sorry to see that he escaped shortly after and also that Detective Hoffman was seen smoking cubebs, which is strictly against city ordinance No. 41.27. I nearly forgot to say that Dietrich was the warden at the above penitentiary. I had to leave town that night but before I went I met Mr. or rather Prof. Rutt, who was the physical director at Prof. Leibley's Conservatory of Music for Girls. While we were Waiting for the train he told me that Leaman was a Greek teacher in the New Monia H. S.g that Mumma recently had his annual hair cut at Bryner's Tonsorial Parlorsg that Poole was on the stage carrying a coal shovel and broomg that both Shenk and Stauier were employed by the Dropem Airplane Co., Shenk as pilot and Stauffer as insurance mang and that Rohrer was the fifth vice-president of the Lieu- tenant General Electric Co. On the train I met Chambers who was the President of the Anti-Movie Association who told me that Ranck was selling fish at the market houseg and that Minnich was back on the farm trying to raise feathers on a bull dogs legs. Then while I was thinking what a fine president our country had in President Adams, I woke up, probably because the shock was too great. The next time I have such a dream I hope it will be a more pleasant one.

This society received a big boost this year as did all the others because of the influence of the class of 1925. From an average attendance of forty the society has grown to an average attendance of seventy-five. At the last meeting, which was the anniversary meeting, there were nearly three hundred people present. At this anniversary meeting many of the past members and officers of the society were present and made speeches. Those present who were past presidents were: Richard Taylor, '22, Edward Price, 'M-233 Charles Bair, 'M-24g Donald Charles, '24, and VVarren Rehm, 'M-25. As an- other feature on the program, Mr. Herr was presented with a handsome leather billfold in recognition of his past serv- ices to the society. The presentation was made by the presi- dent. Then Dr. McCaa, Lancaster's foremost radio expert, gave a very fine talk on certain points of Radio and fol- lowed with a demonstration of his anti-static set. The dem- onstration, while not entirely successful, because of fluc- tuating signals, was an accomplishment, for it was the first time that radio was ever successfully received at the school. The meeting was a big success and it is the hope of the present oiiicers that such a meeting will be held every year. It is also hoped that the new officers will keep up the inter- est in the society and make a further success of it. HONOR SOCIETY The Stevens Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized on January 21, 1925, with the following girls as charter members: Esther Bare, Jeanne Bennawit, Rhoda Bender, Bertha Brubaker, Ada Cauler, Mary Edwards, Myrtle LeFevre, Edith Grimm, Helen Sawyer, Nesta Stevens and Ruth Sprout, of the high Senior class, who be- came honorary members after graduationg Luella Fryber- ger, Ardath Lengel, Kathrine Miller, Grace Schaum and Alcesta Slichter, of the low Senior class, and Helen Staford of the high Junior class. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Jeanne Bennawit, vice-president. Esther Bare, secretary, Kathrine Miller, and historian, Helen Stafford. 98 VIDETTE ANNUAL These members were installed on January-before the school assembled in the Auditorium. A meeting was held on March 10, at which time the following new members were inducted into the societyg Kathryn Dysinger, Beatrice LeFevre, Sarah Lowry, Beatrice Marron and Aline Swift, of the Senior A class, Mildred Huss, Helen Moore, Mag- dalena Mosemann, Esther Myers, Ethel Swain and Mar- garet Villee, of the Senior B class, and Pauline Benedict Elizabeth Harbold and Irene Royer, of the Junior A class. At this meeting new officers were elected, namely, Ardath Lengel, president, and Magdalena Mosemann, vice-presi- dent. A program was also rendered at the meeting. Pins have been presented to each member of the society, and it is hoped that the girls of Stevens High School will try to live up to the standards of the organization. The first standard is character. If a person lacks character, all his knowledge is practically useless. The second is scholar- ship. A girl must be in the first quarter of her class scholas- tically before she is eligible to be a candidate for election to the society. Leadership is the third requisite. This should be encouraged in our schools, as we need people who will start things and see that they are accomplished. The last is service. In this respect the school is trying to reward those who have rendered service to it. The class of 1925 wishes to pay its respects to Miss Anna Carter, teacher of Mathematics at Stevens High School, who is retiring from active work. Miss Carter has taught in the City Schools for forty-three years, and we hope all happiness will be hers as she goes out from our midst. May she feel rewarded for her years of service through the lives of those whom she has taught. We also want to thank Miss Edith Mumma, our advisor, for her interest and co-operation in all our class activities. We are deeply indebted to her for our success. GLEE CLUB . BY HAROLD MARTIN The High School Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. Gehman, passed one of its most successful careers durmg this semester. Its practices on every Tuesday and Friday morning were full of pep and a desire for work prevailed in them. ' . It participated in the National Music Weeli by rendering part of the program given Monday evening, May 4th, ? VIDETTE ANNUAL 99 before a large audience in the High auditorium. Two of the four special numbers which were sung are Mar- jory, Wake Up, by Christiani, and Listen to My Tale of Woe, by Smith. Later in the program it sang, The Gypsy Trail, by Galloway, and The Bells of St. Mary's, by Adams. The Organized Chorus fin costume of Indian braves and squawsb, under the direction of Miss Margaret Humphre- ville, presented an impressive cantata called the Mound Builders, by Bliss. The dramatization was directed by Miss Sara Bitner. The success of this Glee Club is wholly due to Mr. Geh- man's efforts in trying to make the work interesting and lively. The pictures of the working members -were taken at' Miesse's studio on South Prince street and all those who were active supporters are going to receive credit because under the new systm of marking this 1S classifid as extra curricular work. CLASS WILL Faculty, Friends and Classmates: Twenty-five about to die, salutes you! You have all been called together at the bequest of twenty-five to hear her will, and to receive her gifts, before she passes from our sight forever. On a certain day in May it was decreed and made known that on June twenty-fifth, twenty-five must die. Now on the eve of that solemn event you shall hear the last will and testament of the one about to depart and Twenty-five hopes that you may not believe that it is only because she cannot retain her worldly possessions that she is generous. THE WILL ' We, the Class of Twenty-five being about to depart from this terrestial hall, in full possession of a sound mind, mem- ory, and understanding, do draw up and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all Wills made at any time heretofore. First and foremost we do direct that the funeral shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty with all the pomp and dignity our station in the school world deserves. Regarding the worldly goods it has pleased the fates to shower upon us, we do dispose of it in the following man-- ner, viz: 100 VIDETTE ANNUAL ITEM: We give and bequeath to the faculty the memory of Twenty-five and the liberty to point out our noble ex- ample to posterity. ITEM: We give and bequeath the song books which we purchased in September and from which the Seniors burst forth in music, to the Student Body. ITEMQ We give and bequeath to our sister class, Mid '26 the Senior seats in chapel. Let every Senior B show her appreciation of the gift by being present in chapel every morning promptly at eight forty-five. ITEM: We give to the Freshmen the following advice, which if they observe, will surely lead them on to the goal, success. Copy Twenty-five, learn to persevere and although it may seem hard, steadily climb and be of good courage. ITEM: And now we give and bequeath the things hardest to part with. To our successors we do present our Trigg and Economic textbooks. If they gain half the profit and inspiration we have found between the covers of these books it will be their most precious possession as it has been ours. ITEM: W'e do give and bequeath all senior privileges to the envious Freshman and in addition this warning, handle with care. Besides these enforced gifts we leave, not of necessity but from generosity, our blessing and a pledge of friendship with all whom we have come in contact during our High School days. In addition to these gifts of the following individuals wish to bestow some of their possessions their fellow school mates. Myrtle leaves her basketball ability to Gene Urey. Kit Cooper leaves her singing voice to Kit Stauffer. Harry Banzhof bequeaths his rosy cheeks to Hen Flam- mond. 'Bob Appel leaves his height to Abram Herr. Jo I-Iaverstick leaves her popularity to Dotty Sen- senich. Emma Drybread wills her vampy eyes to I-lil Pilgram. Dot Adams leaves her dancing ability to Mary Kreider. Bill Rutt leaves his Wit to Samuel Rohrer. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the advisor, Miss Mumma, sole executor of this our last will and testa- ment. In Witness Whereof, We the Class of Twenty-five, the testators, have to this our will, set our hand and seal, this twenty-fourth day of June, Anno Domino one thousand nine hundred twenty-five. MARGARET HERE, VIDETTE ANNUAL 101 FAREWELL As we pass beyond the threshold Of our dear respected school, May we evermore be grateful For her benefiting rule. Onward, onward, o'er life's highway, Do we turn our hearts at last, Always keeping in our mem'ries Fondness for our school days past. If the road we tread is rugged, We should smile and banish frowns, He who struggles, always trying Is the one who gains the crowns. We must brave all sorts of weather, Mingle sorrows with our joys, Every sunlight has its shadow, Life is not composed of toys. Then if thus the road is traveled Faithfully with honest care, We will find contentment, schoolmates, Always biding with us there. So farewell, we leave these portals, Turning to the roads of life, May each one be steadfast ever, Victor over every strife. Q MELBA SCHLOTZHAUER 102 VIDETTE ANNUAL HER TURN IS COMING J ane-I heard you had a new beau. How are you getting on With him? Lou-Oh, very Well. The first time he called he took Tootsie, my poodle, in his lap. Next time he took Baby Sis, so I s'pose it will be my turn next. SHE NEEDED IT MOST Doctor-Your husband needs a perfect rest. I Will pre- scribe a sleeping powder. Patient's Wife-And how often am I to give it to him, doctor? Doctor-But it is not for him. You are to take it. Poor old Smith has gone to see a doctor. Why What's the matter With him ? He's got Water on the knee. Then the best thing he can do is to Wear pumps. REAL KINDNESS A tramp Wishing to play upon the sympathy of a seem- ingly benevolent Woman, fell to the ground, and began to eat the grass. The lady asked: My poor man, are you so hungry that you Would eat grass ? The tramp replied: Yes, mum. Well, then, go around to the back of the house, the grass is deeper there. ANOTHER SAL For a certain reason Sam could not take his girl Sally to church one evening but promised to escort her home after the meeting. Arriving a little before the close of the service, the min- ister Was giving an urgent invitation to lost souls. i Just then Sam peered in at the doorway, looking for his irl. g Are you looking for salvation? asked the minister earnestly. i No, sir, I'm looking for Sal J ones, replied Sam calmly. 'VIDETTE ANNUAL 103 FROM HEADQUARTERS A devout Christian Scientist found his young son Writh- ing with pain as a result of eating too many green apples. What's the matter, Bobby?', he asked. I guess I ate too many apples, said Bobby. And, oh, my stomach hurts awful! Your stomach doesn't ache, said his father. You only believe it does. Well, you may only believe it, replied Bobby, but I know. I've got the inside information. I-IE SURE IS Is your husband much of a provider, lVIelindy? asked her employer. He jes' ain't nothin' else, ma'am, replied Melindy. He gwine to get some new furniture providin' he gits de moneyg he gwine to get de money providin' he go to workg he go to work providin' de job suits him. I never see such a pro- vidin' man in all mah days. SHOT IN THE BACK - That woman is the most awful actress I ever saw, said the mild-mannered man to his neighbor. That woman is my Wife, replied the neighbor. I am wrong, said the mild-mannered mang she is a good actress struggling with a rotten play. I wonder what fool wrote it? Unfortunately, I am the author, said the neighbor simply. ONE WORD WAS PLENTY A young lady had written a single word on a telegram blank, gave it to the clerk, who charged her 75 cents for the message. Isn't that rather high ? asked the young lady, for just a one-word message ? That is the minimum rate, miss, answered the clerk, but you can add nine more words. No, that wouldn't help matters. One 'yes' is enough. Ten would look as though I was too anxious. 1 04 VIDETTE ANNUAL MIXED MEAT Why, dad, this is roast beef ! explained Willie at dinner one evening, when a guest of honor was present. Of course, said his father. What of that? Why, you told mother this morning that you were going to bring an old mutton-head home for dinner this evening! -Tit-Bits. SHE HAD MUCH TO LEARN A lady, having trouble keeping her motor running, finally stopped a passerby and asked for assistance. He lifted the hood, and after a close examination, told her the engine was missing. Why, that can't be possible! she exclaimed. It was in there when I left home. RIGHT BACK AT HIM A rather portly Negro mammy was puffing and exerting herself as she tried to rise from her seat in a street car. Better eat some yeast Aunty, and you'll rise better, a fresh young collegian advised her. Like a Hash came the answer. Youall try it you'se'f, young man, an' maybe you'll be better bred. HE WAS HALF SHOT The charge against the prisoner was intoxication. What's your name? Gunn, your honor. Gunn, I understand you were loaded. It won't happen again, your honor. Suspended sentence. You're discharged, Gunn. And the next day the report was in the papers. ONE ON THE CONDUCTOR An aged lady was traveling alone, and asked the conduc- tor to let her know when they reached a town named Retta. The busy man forgot until he came through again. Apolo- gizing profusely, he said they were sixteen miles beyond Retta, and pulling the bell cord had the engineer back up. Here you are, madamf' said he, as they reached the little station. Oh, I did not Want to get off at Retta. My daughter told me to be sure and take one of my pills when we reached there. 1 VIDETTE ANNUAL Franklin and Marshall College LANCASTER, PENNA.
