SENIOR ANNUAL 1925 CLASS HISTORY llhgtljmif il l A Journey to the Four Corners of the Earth. Long, long ago in the fall of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-one, a band of young innocents numbering 140 prepared to embark upon a hazard- ous journey to the four corners of the earth in the good ship McKinley with Mr. Zeller as captain and the teachers as mates. The future lay be- fore them, dark and misty and they knew not what great dangers were lurking in that wilderness, to pounce upon them, or what foes were anx- ious to devour them. They were sure of only one thing-that if they wished to obtain that great glistening ball called Knowledge, they must sur- mount all barr-iers and visit each cor- ner. As a reward for their labors at each corner they received four jewels. But if they did not do their work well, they were not given the jewels, and the ball of Knowledge rolled for- ther away from them. At the end of the voyage they must present the sixteen jewels to the keeper of Knowl- edge who would in return give them the shiny ball so coveted by all, which was to guide them along life's path. At the first corner these travelers were called Freshmen. 'Because this li.fe was new to them and tiresome they formed clubs and played games for diversion. They had many op- ponents who were older and more ex- perienced than they. But nevertheless they entered everything with high hopes. They formed literary societies, and entered various clubs. The boys won the class basketball championship with Henry Hanna as captain and Campfield, Hulmes, Williams and Kidd under him. Because of his good playing, Henry Hanna was given a place on the varsity. The girls also made a good showing, they played nine games and won all but eight. Their team consisted of Pierce, Perry, Koch, Ohl, Helwig, Sacconaghi, Grove, Er- way, Walters, Woodford, Wick and Stein as their captain. During their stay at the first cor- ner some of the girls showed a mark- ed talent for dancing so the instructor gave an open lesson which was very successful. The girls taking part in special numbers were, Dorothy Camp- bell, Lucille Davis, Adeline Stein, Bes- Sie Erway, Marguerite Helwig, Mar- jorie Westenfield, Ethel Thompson, Dorothy Perry and Louise Cavanagh. Many of the members of this band took part in a Cantata called The Three Springs, and others in a style show which showed their comrades what they had accomplished along that line. Almost everyone did his work well enough to merit the four jewels and was prepared to journey to the second corner. They reached this point, the great ball appearing larger and bright- er to many, but to some it was still the same. When they arrived there they found that a few of their num- ber hid been attracted by the pleas- ures of the world and had deserted them. 'l hey were now Sophomores, and al- though the diversions were about the same, their work was more difficult. During the time passed at this corner the operetta, Wind Mills of Holland was given and many members of this band took part. The play, Mrs. Tubbs Does Her Bit was presented by Helen Monahan, Catherine Hose, Edith Hanks, Velma Grove, Donald Rader, Charles McDermott. After the play everyone went to the gym where they enjoyed a party with dancing and music.
