Onward and Upward At 9 o'clock on the morning of September l, l920, in the year of our Lord, a large number of freshmen entered the new Rantoul Township High School to take up their career there. We succeeded very well for freshmen, with the help of Mr. Stevens, Miss Bowen, Miss Lamb, Miss Cole, Miss Leonard, and Mr. jones. At the end of the year when we each received our report cards, we breathed a sigh of relief because we knew we were no longer green freshiesf' The next year saw some of our members drop out, while others joined us. Mildred came from Thomasboro to join our happy band and we believe that she has never regretted it. Flossie from Penfield, came to join us. Miss Fuller came to show us the proper steps in English and l am sure that each and every one of us has found' a true friend in her. ln our Junior year Cleo from Thomasboro and Maston from Gifford join- ecl our class. Charles Sears also became one of us. This was the year when we thought ourselves very important. And why not, with that junior-Senior banquet to give? The Senior year has proved to be the most well-spent year of all. Still others came to join our class-Harold from Ludlow, and Virgil from Gifford. ln this year Mr. Condit came to fill the place vacated by Mr. Stevens, and is admired and respected by all. The Senior class has been made famous by doing its bit for our school. The members have entered whole-heartedly into the work done by the differ- ent school clubs and societies. They have taken active part in the plays, liter- ary programs, and other entertainments. The class of 1925 has reason to be proud of their achievements in athletics. A large percentage of the boys have played on the football, basketball, and track teams. Of the large number that will receive diplomas this year, only William, Marion, and Gladys started out in the first grade together. And now, at the end of our four years of hard work, may we each re- ceive our diplomas and go out into the world and fulfill our destiny. We, of the Senior Class, thank each teacher for the help they have given us in attaining our goal. As we each go our separate ways in life there will al- ways be a warm spot in our hearts for our teachers, classmates, and for clear old R. T. H. S. - -lna Beck. --PAGE NINETEEN-- D15 I l 1 1 1 A
