1927 MILTONIAN 1927 Class of '25 --Vernrm F. Caswell '26 CLASS Morro-4 us b 2 is 2 b A CLASS FLOWER-Violets CLASS COLORS-Y7lOlQt and Silver CLASS HISTORY The famous Class of '25 entered the High School of Milton Township Centralized School, September 9, 1921. We became a slave of that tyrant Last Bell . Most everything was new and strange. We lost the careless freedom of our former day. Another September dawned and soon we were lost in the past. We entered old M. T. H. S. as Sophomores. At this eventful time in our lives we had a chance to initiate the Freshies . During our Sophomore year, both girls and boys, engaged in athletics. Death entered and robbed us of one of our best members, Lake Pugh, who died March 10th. At the year's close we lost Paul Hathaway, William Martens, Bessie Poland, John Schwab, Rose Neiling, Chalmer Sautters, and Stanley Martin. As Juniors, we were held in higher esteem by our fellow students. The Junior- Senior Banquet was pronounced to be one of the best parties any Junior Class had given. Cherry Blossom , an operetta, was successfully given. Alice Trumbull withdrew to our regret, and Charles Mahnen was brought in as a new member. In September 1924, we assembled in those halls of learning to reap the fields of knowledge. We believe we have set an enviable standard not only in scholarship but, also, in literary, oratory and athletics. As Freshmen, we had twenty-eight members, but there were only fourteen to start our Senior year. We regreted to see Clarence Haas, Charles Mahnen, and Florence Metzger withdraw in our Senior year. Four of our girls were on the basket ball team, and our two boys held their posi- tions in baseball and basket ball. In literary work our class had great talents. As we left M. T. H. S. our aims were high and we hoped and prayed that we would be able to go out into the world to make a success. There are gains for all our losses, There are balms for all our pains, But when youth the dream departs, It takes something from our hearts, And it never comes again. We are stronger and are better, Under manhoods sterner reign, Still we feel that something sweet Followed youth with flying feet, And will never come again. Something beautiful is vanished, And we sigh for it in vaing We behold it everywhere On the earth, and in the air, But it never comes again. U

1927 MILTONIAN 1927 The Class of '26 MOTTO-itself Confidence is the Keynote to Success CLASS COLORS-Old Rose and Silver CLASS FLOWER-American Beauty Rose J. C. Cooley, Supt. Faye Baumgardner, Principal CLASS HISTORY In the spring of 1922 there graduated from the eighth grade a timely class of twelve. Of these twelve all returned in the fall to resume their journey on the road to knowledge. To accompany us on our way nine others came from the school of Custar. This made us a total of twenty- one. Thus was the beginning of the class, the remainder of which have at- tained their goal and are now before you. I shall not give you all the de- tails of that first year in high school. We were as a matter of course sub- jected to the continuous razzing of our upper classmen, the most un- sympathetic of whom were the Sophomores. This we learned at our in- itiation into the higher school of learning. We soon realized however that it was just a custom and that class was not super-natural or over- hostile in their relations toward our Freshman class. Their antagonism soon wore off and we became very good friends for the remainder of the term. The members of our class were active in all sorts of school activities. Our representatives were found in all branches of athletics and fared equally as well in literary lines. The fact is, we were often superior to our upperclassmen in Athletics. We won third place in the inter-class track meet, which ranked us above our Sophomore rivals and was worth a great deal to us in winning their respect. Our second year was almost as eventful as our first. Some of our members had become weary of the journey and had dropped by the way- side. But we were here joined by several new members and nineteen were enrolled as Sophomores. We had the pleasure in this term of put- ting the new Freshman class through the mill as we had been the previous year. We took even more interest in Athletics and other scholastic affairs. It needs little memory work to recall the work done by the Sophomores in the inter-class track meet. And was it not a Sophomore who won the Gold medal in Latin? We now journey on to our Junior year with seventeen members. As we lost another, sixteen were left to toil onward to our goal. We found great rivalry in the High-Headed Seniors of that year. But soon showed them, in the classroom and on the athletic field as well that they were not the only pebbles on the beach. They soon became very friendly as they were begininng to look forward to the banquet which we gave them at the close of the term. At the close of our Junior year we could look back with pleasure and feel that the inter-class basket ball championshipg first place in vocal solo workg first place in quartetteg the nucleus of the near championship base- ball teamg besides members of the debating team-all belonged to the class of '26. But need we point out to you all our prowess. You who are here are our friends and have watched with loving eyes our progress from year to year.
