H x History of the Class of '25 History, my friends, is a story of the past. Fate sitting at the spinning wheel of life spins a story that can not be changed. Now, hear ye the story that fate has spun of the Class of '25. ln the year of our Lord l922 there came to the halls of Rising Sun High School a certain element which did call themselves Freshmen, whose motto seemed to be, When ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise. Of this element who called themselves Freshmen, there were 38 in number, The school authorities told us that in this organized world every thing must be organized to succeed, no matter how small and unimportant it may he. Acting upon this advice we organized the Freshmen Class of '22, Wil- liam Burns was elected president and Miss Mary Stevenson was appointed sponsor. a position equal in importance to that of a prime minister. After a few months some of our number began to think of getting married, others of their health: thus, did our class decrease in number until at the beginning of the second year, the class numbered 26. As Sophomores we organized by electing Floyd Truitt president. Mr. Wertz was our sponsor this year and under his guidance we took our place in the front ranks of the school life. ln the year i924 we came back as Juniors. Practically all our teachers were new, but we soon adapted ourselves to the changed conditions. Fifteen of the twenty-six classmates enrolled this year together with a new one, Ruth Gates. It so happened that Elberta and Sadie left us, leaving but fourteen. 'We organized as Juniors, electing Clyde Birdzell as president. Mr. Rigot was our sponsor this year and by his assistance we were able to accomplish some things of which we are proud, the most important of which was the junior- Senior Reception, This same year we also made our debut in the field of dram- atics. Our junior Class play. A Corner of the Campus, was a decided success This. the fourth year in the history of the Class of '25, has been one of much hard labor, however, the anticipation of graduation cheered us on. This fourth year we organized by electing Floyd Truitt president. We lost Ruth Gates from our number but Elberta returned. We decided to again enter the dramatic arena. We chose Clarence, written by Booth Tarkington, as our Senior Class play. The production was a success. With Mr. Turner as our sponsor, we feel that our Senior year has been a year of accomplishment. We regret that we have not had access to the new building during our High School career, but we are glad that future classes may be benefited by it. We h0PC that the Rising Sun High School of future years may continue to grow and be of greater service to the community.
