Class History '25 Four long years ago our fathers brought into this school a new generation, believing in education, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great war of life, testing whether we can long endure. Seventy-six of us met on the battlefield under the able guidance of Miss Barnett and various class officers. Three Student Council Members were elected, and three of our men won letter in athletics. The second stage of this war found our courage undinnned. NVe were steadily pushing onward. although our little band had dwindled to sixty-tive. Our Adviser. Miss Barnett, had left us. XVe again strengthened our forces by adding Miss Fickes, as class adviser, to our number. Our wonderful athletes put added vigor into us and we were determined to go over the top. The third year of the seige saw our army now numbering only forty-nine. Many of our gallant pals had fallen by the wayside. Still we struggled on- ward, always finding hope and encouragement in our leader, Miss Fickes. Our athletes, with the assistance of our little band of patriots, hellped us to win new victories to the astonishment of the other classes. At the commencement of the fourth year, the one that marked victory for us even though our number had decreased to forty-five, we had increased in value. In the distance loomed the great prize for which we had been struggling. Spurred onward by the illustrious victories of our athletes and by Miss Fickes, we went over the top with a bang! Our goal was attained! The world will little note nor long remember what we say hereg but it can never forget what we did here. It is for us, the class of 725, rather to be dedi- cated here to the work which we have thus far so nobly advanced. We here highly resolve that this class shall retain their vim and enthusiasm, and that memories of the best class in the township, in the country, in the state, shall not perish from the minds of the succeeding classes. --Elener F.
