T H E .I U N l O R E C H 0 Page Twenty-seven Junior Class History Emestine Fuller, '26 F. organized in the fall of 1922 as Freshmen with a W class of thirty-nine. Carolyn Fuller was elected Presi- dent: Frank Hill, Vice-Presidentg James W. Whitbourne, secretaryg Dorothea McCarthy, Treasurer. Miss Ken- nedy was chosen the class advisor. The aim of our class is Through Trials to Triumph, so it became our motto. Blue and gold were chosen as our class colors. Several class functions took place during our Freshman year which were much enjoyed by all. When we met as Sophomores our number became greatly diminished, there being only fifteen members. Late in the year when we organized, Marjorie Hallauer became our Presidentg Elizabeth Waterman our Vice-Presidentg Dorothea McCarty, Secre- tary and Treasurer. Our colors were changed to emerald and gold, and Miss I-ledden was chosen class advisor. During our Sophomore year we held a class party at Marjorie Hallauer's home and also a debate was given in connection with our English work. We met this year with fourteen members, and re-elected the officers of the previous year. Miss Smith was chosen class advisor and has greatly aided us, especially in our Junior play. ln the late fall we bought our class rings, which we liked very well. On l'lallowe'en we joined with the Seniors in giving a social at the school house. Soon after Regents we began work on our class play, Sun- shine, This proved to be a great success through the much appre- ciated help of Mrs. Griflis and her husband, Mr. Griflis. Next year we all hope to meet as Seniors and work harder and better for the good of our school and class. - ...... I .....- -,-- -,---- ---- A -

THE JUNIOR ECHO Page Twenty-six Junior Response Hubert Keeley Members of the Class of l925:- Today we are here to take part in your last exercises in Ontario High School, an event which will everlastingly linger in your memory. This Key of Knowledge, which you now have consigned to our keeping, is received by us with a realization of its deep significance. To the best of our ability, we shall endeavor to discharge the duties which fall to us as its custodians. The possession of the Key of Knowledge impresses upon our minds its great symbolic meaning. lt opens to us the garden of thought and learning, leaving us free to follow its course or to stand idly by, once we have entered. Success in acquiring knowledge means patient and constant effort. Failure awaits him who fails to strive for the goal. But knowledge is not all we seek in life. True education means a development of all our faculties, or in other words, our character. We may not all be famous but we can all be persons of character. We congratulate you upon your graduation, which is proof that you have done well, and we hope you will succeed as well in the future as you have in the past. ' Now it remains for us to bid farewell to the class of l925. Life is before you. lts results will be success or failure. To suc- ceed you must put forth your best efforts, you must display courage under difficulties and you must observe the laws of God and man. That the class of l925 may attain to this success is our sincere wish. We wish to express our gratitude to you, the class of l925, for keeping this Key of Knowledge for us and we shall use it diligently, hoping to discover that it will open up to us richer stores than you have found, thus enabling us to advise, even more wisely, our successors. We have been friends together, Together broken rules, But bless me, who could help it, Attending public schools? ::::::::1o4:::::l::::1::::::roo4:::::pQooo4::
