Class History ' 25 ON SoptciiilM ' r 19, 1921, there eaiiie to tlie S. A. II. S. eampus a band of the fjreeiiest Freshmen tliat Fate could i)rovide. One in ])articular, Joe Sti ' iekland, was the most ty{)ieal Fresliman, and was liked to siieh an ex- tent by liis feHow elassmates that he was chosen as their president to guide them through tlie first year of the adventure. The work and surroundings were strange to these new arrivals, but with four months ' association, the new class of ' 25 became acquainted with every phase of the school life. Too, at first, the new rules and customs were hard to follow. However, it was not long before they became accustomed to them, and when they did, the beginners entered into their work with a whole-hearted will and determination. iMany things were ac- complished by this new-born cla.ss — some great, some small. Class organization counted most. Under the cajjable leadership of the president the class was guided as a single unit safelj ' through all the trials of the Freshman year. When the second year of training and study began some of the members had dropped out. Nevertheless the size of the class was not diminished, for to make up for this loss a number of students who had spent their Freshman year in some other institution were added to the roll. These additions soon became used to S. A. H. S., learning to co-operate with their president, who had been re- elected by his fellow classmates to carry them through another year. The So- phomore year was marked by a more earnest and determined desire to learn on the part of the members of the class. Then came ihc Junior year. Manj ' of the original class had survived the Fresh- man and Sophomore years and were by now filled with the determinaticm to climb higher upon the ladder of learning. Some new members gained admis- sion to the class, and as is nearly always the case, some of the old members wei ' e lost, some of them for good and part for only a short time. The Junior year was most successful, and wall always have a ])lace in the annals of the S. A. II. S. It was during tliis year that the school paper, Sunflower Sunshine, was edited, and the Juniors played an imjiortant i)art in its edition. Oh, the fourth and la.st year of the Class of ' 25 in the S. A. IT. S. will always be remembered. The class that had entered S. A. H. S. three years bcfoi-e had changed in many respects. As Freshmen they were green, timid, unlearned, and partly unorganized. As Seniors they were quiet, dignified, scholarly, and under the guidance of the president they had re-elected three times, were thor- oughly organized. The work accomplished by the class during the first, second, and third years was indeed something to be proud of, but the members of the class w ' ill always hold in mind the memory of that last year — the crisis of the high school course. Only those with a strong will persevered. On May 23, 1925, there stood at the door of the Sunflower Agricultural High School forty-.six grave and solenui graduates. The door was the gateway to the many paths of life, and now the once unlearned Freshmen were contemplating which ])ath would be their choice. 16

Class Poem Today we Seniors stand, Thinking what to do ; The gate of life is open wide, We ' ll soon l)e passing through. We ' ve worked so very hard To hold the best ' ' ' our aim; And we are truly gratified With how we ' ve ])lMyed the game. For oft the patli was drear; We thought of giving up, But Dut.y beckoned ever To the to}). though rough. Now on our way we ' ll go, And do our very best. And never once look back ' Till we have gained the crest. When we ' ve reached our goal, And have met success. We ' ll turn and give most heartv thanks, To old S. A. II. S. 17
