Alpha 1925 Senior Class History) (v Eta Holley Yesterday we. the class of “25 . entered the Oroville Union High School as the greenest of green Freshmen-----today, as reverend Seniors, we are ready to launch our boats on the Sea of Life. The records of this class cannot be given worthy mention on paper: only those who have followed our activities in school affairs, on the athletic field, and in social events can best judge our merits. On the football field with Theodore Beckett. Roy Stram. Rae Baggarly Arvid Pauly. Henry Patton. Forrest Wixom. Paine Dunlap. Wallace Mace Rudolph Ghianda. Russell Turner, and Ralph Knox, we made an enviable record in aiding to win the championship of the N.C.H.S.A.L. twice.

Rae Baggarly. and Henry Patton: whi’e Eva Holley. Bertha Crum and Lila Sayre represented us in girls' basketball and vol'cy ball. The participants in school ath’etics brought home the laurals Iron, almost every contest in which they took part and received insignia relative to their merits. When you look back on the social side of our high school days, you will find that we Seniors have done much for the school in that line. We have taken an active part in all social affairs staged at our school, besides those out side of it. Mo;t every senior had an active part in the Spr;no Festival given by the Student Body at the Exposition Building this year. Following in the footsteps of our ancestors, we had a much enjoyed Senior Cut Day. Everyone looks forward to this from the time be is a Freshman, as this is a privilege taken only by Seniors. Ncver has th'-’rc been a Student Body meeting at which we were nor a well represented, and we have tried to put our best into all that we have under taken. The officers of the Student Body, most of whom are from the Senior Class, have all served their terms well. This class also contains many who are real students who will make fame for us sometime in the near future. So. let it be resolved that this class of 1925. as it has in its High School days, put forth the best that is in it. now that we have taken our place in the enormous world. Hoping that we may not be forgotten by those we leave behind us we now sav---farewe!l! n
