TI-IE 1925 ODRANOEL iliiatnrg nf 0112155 1925 N LOOKING over the cpmmentaries of the Class ofl1925 of Middle- .jgsfsr town Township High School, one is iorced to admit that we are a class worthy of more than ordinary consideration. It is true that when we first gathered, one hundred and four strong, we were 915' ' ' looked upon as children, almost. This did not lessen our feeling of importance. however, for were we not Freshmen, and therefore, a very necessary part of the school and community? During our first year the class did not participate in m.any outside activities as it worked to gain a reputation for scholarship, which has never been lost. g In the fall of 1922 the class, then Sophomores, started to work once more. In November the new addition to our building was completed and we moved into our new room. During the year the girls of the class gave a party to the boys. Our class was the hrst to hold afternoon dances. Thus the class burst into social life. At the beginning of our Junior Year, 1923, the class decreased consider- ably in size so that the boys and girls were together for the first time, under the supervision of Miss Johnson. In the class elections Ralph Pixley, Richard Lucas, Norman De Grote and Phyllis Smith were chosen as President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary. A meeting was held to choose the class colors and Hower. After a long dispute carried over from the previous year, the class chose maroon and gold for its colors and the tea rose for its flower. The class started its activities by giving two very successful dances. The proceeds from these dances started the fund for our VVashington trip. In May we gave our Junior Revue. VVho will ever forget the tragedy of The Fatal Necklace, or the comedy of The Colored Wedding, to say nothing of the Parade of the Faculty, and numerous other things? These events were followed by the reception which the class gave to the Seniors. The chief entertainment of the evening was dancing which everyone enjoyed. The big event of the year was Class Day, the day, long to be remem- bared, when the Juniors wore their clothes backwards and sang backwards in chapel. A At the beginning of the fourth and last year of their stay at M. T. H. S., these same students became known as Seniors. In the election in September, 1924, Ralph Pixley was re-elected,President, Kathleen Kemble was chosen Vice-President, Norman De Grote was re-elected Treasurer, and Louise Beyer was made Secretary. During the year, the class sold candy as previous classes had done but was much more successful than previous classes had been in this undertaking. In order to add to the treasury, six dances were given at different intervals, which proved successful in every way. The class tried out a lunch counter which they ran for several days. This work was done by the girls. The annual fair given by the Senior Class and the Athletic Association was a tremendous success in every way. There were booths of all kinds, besides shows and dancing. On Arbor Day the Class, according to custom, planted its tree, with the hope of holding a reunion under it some day. Then, realizing the need of making itself known to others outside of the school, a banner was made. It was designed and made by members of the class. This was used for the first time on the night of the Senior Play. The Class Play, Mr, Bob, the crowning event of the year, was held on April 24.
