Fond memories greet us when we recall the time that has passed so swiftly. As Freshmen we were dreaded, and not without cause, for who would not have dreaded such a barbarous host. that had left behind it, all through the grades, a trail of nerve racked teachers? In a few weeks a class meeting was called for the purpose of organizing. We elected the following las officers: Marie Gorman, President, Irvin Beer, Vice-President, Andrew Zimmerman. Secretary and Treasurer, and Miss Struhbar CMrs. Raymond Yeckj, Class Adviser. We were soon in the midst of numerous social affairs. The most import- ant of these was the initiation party. The chamber of horrors which we went through, will never be forgotten. We were also hosts and hostesses for two parties this year: one a farewell party for Eunice Schertz, who left us for Viiashington, the other, a party to entertain the upper classmen. During the remainder of the year we contended with examinations too numerous to men- tion and other knocks which all Freshmen must endure. Thus ended the first year of our high school life. When school opened the next fall, only thirty-one of our class resumed their work as Sophornores. Our officers for this year were: Marie Gorman, President, Andrew Zimmerman, Secretary and Treasurer, and Mr. Painter, Class Adviser. This season we were well represented in athletic as well as in literary affairs. The social events of the year began early in the season. Bob sled rides, weiner roasts, and indoor affairs furnished much amusement. Two farewell parties were given: one, for Esther and Emma Binkele, who left us for Peoria, another, for Paul Fahnestock, who left for Chillicothe. Thus we finished our Sophomore year with an enrollment of twenty-eight. The fall of 1923 brought back twenty-one pupils as Juniors in Victory High, including two new pupils, Henrietta Seggerman, and Ralph Arnett, who enrolled from other schools. VVe choose these officers: Clarence Herbst, Presi- dent, Ralph Arnett, Vice President, Pansy Mullins, Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Nicholson, Class Adviser. The scholarship for this year was very high and our social, athletic, and literary events were also successes. The Junior Play, The Little Clodhopper, ' ' the first play staged by our cllass, was a marked success. We were also very proud of the fact that Elsie Herbst, a Junior, won first place in declamation at the county meet for 1924. In the spring we entertained the Seniors at a classy banquet, and with a picnic a few weeks later. VVe ended this year looking forward to the fact that next year we would be Seniors. This year nineteen strong, we came back to fill the places of dignified Seniors. We elected as our officers: Clarence Herbst, President, Marie Gor- man, Vice President, Carl Teuscher, Secretary, Edward Sand, Treasurer, and Miss Moore, Class Adviser. R. V. H. S. 25 We opened the year with a big drive, for the sponsoring of the Lecture course, which proved to be a decided success. Now our thoughts are turned toward the Senior Play to be given in the spring. The Echo staff have worked hard to make this year's annual the best ever. The time for parting is drawing near. One would hardly recognize these polished, dignified young ladies and gentlemen as the verdant Freshmen of four years ago. Father Time has been very good to us, may the future he has in store for us be just as bright. By Leona Hohl Class Poem 'Tis natural for every class of old R. V. H. S. To feel superiority and scorn for all the rest. I suppose we also feel that way, And time will prove us right someday. Now probably you think 'twould be a very great surprise, If for the presidential' chair, they'd choose a lad of '25, But I can't say how that may be, 'Twill be interesting to watch and see. Perhaps some member of this class will make a wonderful invention, Which no one else can quite surpass, and that is our intention. Just watch us as we mount the hill, And you'll see we're not jesting still. There is some duty for each one, not to be shirked or slighted, Perhaps some problem to be solved, or some wrong to be righted. But the good old days we spent together, Will they be forgotten? No, never! So we as a class will always be true To our grand old colors, Orange and Blue. Now hoping you'll not think this a joke, I'll end with three cheers for old Roanoke. ' By Mary Beer. f 26 E C H O Class Song Four years ago, we entered high school as a freshman class, Here we are at last in a Senior class. We have won great fame in plays as well as basketball. Now we say to all, we shall never fall. Chorus For we're the Seniors of Roanoke High, We're the class of 25. We have been loyal and faithful to you, Roanoke Hi, we sure will miss you. Yes, we're the Seniors of Roanoke Hi, We're the class of 25. We all have learned the golden rule to be good in school. Yes, we're the Seniors of 25. Pansy Mullins. Class Prophecy No, it wasn't a dream! I pinched myself three or four times to make certain of this fact. There was a letter telling me that I was rich. A small investment in an oil deal had proved successful beyond my fondest hopes, so now I could travel. The first thing to do was to employ a lawyer to take care of my affairs, so I called up a prominent firm and they sent me a noted lawyer, no other than Andrew Zimmerman. I never thought Andrew would ever be a lawyer but he has surely proved a wizard at his profession. Within a week all my plans were made, and on Monday morning I started out due west from Philadelphia in a brand new Packard car. By night I reached Pittsburg and parked my car in a large garage. While walking up to the office to inquire the way to the best hotel in town, I' met Lewis Legel and found that he was the proprietor of the garage. I had always thought Lewis would be a farmer, but one can never tell. I asked him about other members of the class of '25 and he told me that Carl Sand owned the best hotel in town. He directed me to the hotel and there I met Carl. I knew that I would be comfortable in his hotel, because I remember how particular he was in school as to temperature and ventilation. There was a radio in my room, and about nine o'clock I tuned in, and just in time too, for this is what I heard: l Radio Station KYVV broadcasting and the next number will be the famous Elf Trio: Elsie Herbst, contraltog Lava Fauber, sopranog and Freda Imhoff, pianist. VVasn't I in luck to meet or hear so many of my classmates, fifteen years after we had graduated? I enjoyed the selection by the Elf Trio im- mensely, as did thousands of other people. Now that night I prayed that I might meet more of my classmates. The ways of the Almighty are strange. for I hadn't traveled more than forty miles A R. V. H. S. 27 the next morning when, Crash! Boom! I had collided with another car. The crash rendered me unconscious and the next thing I knew I was in the hospital. VVhen I first opened my eyes I noticed something real bright bending over me. What could it be? When more fully awake I found that it was the red head of my nurse. It was Henrietta Seggerman. We talked for a long time and she told me that George Hunsinger was the driver of the car that had run into me. He wasn't hurt though, and being in a hurry, couldn't stop to see if I was hurt. You see he was a detective and had to hurry to a certain place where a murder had been committed. He surely leads an exciting life! Ilen- rietta also told me that Mary Beer was teaching school in that town. I wasu't hurt badly, so in a few days I went to see Mary. She was delighted to see me and persuaded me to stay with her a few days. The first night I was there the house caught on fire. VVe hadn't gone to bed yet, so we ran outside and turned in the alarm. Within a few moments the fire department was there, with no other as its chief, than Carl Teuscher. It wasn't long before he fire was out, and Mary and I went up to Carl and thanked him for his excellent Work. Three days after this, my car was in shape, so I left Mary and started toward Chicago. Trying to make up for lost time, I am afraid I broke the speed limits. Before I realized it, I was arrested by a speed cop and was taken before a judge. The judge was George Blunier. I was so astonished I had to sit down. Its being my iirst offense, I got off with a small fine. I ar- rived in Chicago on a Tuesday, and after getting settled in a hotel, I went down town to have my hair marcelled. I stopped in a quaint little beauty parlor, and to my amazement I was greeted by Juanita Fisher. She told me she owned the place and did a thriving business. She talked all the while she curled my hair. From her I learned that Marie was running a home for cats out in the country, and that Lois, at the present time was visiting her. Two hours 'later I left the shop and took a taxi to Marie 's institution. When Marie saw me she actually became excited. Marie never became excited in the old days so I wondered what had happened to her. Lois was the same as always, and her hair was still curly. She was travelling, too, and I begged her to goin me. Two days later we left Chicago, but not before we had stopped in Marshall Field's to visit the new manager, Clarence Herbst. Clarence always had a business head. VVe reached Roanoke Thursday night. The town had changed quite a bit. It really had become a city. Friday morning Lois and I visited high school. Here we met Leona Hohl. She was teaching Latin, and really enjoyed her work. I told her how I had heard or met all of our classmates now, except Eddie and Pansy. Leona said that Pansy was the bookkeeper at the Roanoke Tile Co. and that Eddie was in Oregon, a civil engineer, and was known far and wide. The museum that our class had started had grown into one of state fame, and our class memorial was a treasure of the high school. l 28 r ECHO our We, lst-- A week later Lois and I resumed our journey westward knowing that class of '25 was still the best ever.

S. to enter upon, what seemed to us, a higher career in life. We then numbered twenty-six and were considered a large class. At the beginning of the year we called a meeting and elected the follow- ing officers: President, Verna Pfister, Secretary, Earl Sorg: Treasurer, Eugene Zimmerman, Class Adviser, Miss Laws. VVe did not take part in many social activities the first year, as it took quite a While to get acquainted with the upper classmen and teachers. The year passed on, and after Vacation we again entered R. V. H. S., but this time as Sophomores. We soon called a meeting and the following of- ficers were elected: President, Ida Mae Gassnerg Vice President, Arwilla Bloomg Secretary, Verna Pfister, Treasurer, Ethel Oyerg Class Adviser, Mr. Smith. We were given the trophy for Winning the inter-class tournament this year. Our number was diminished by iive this year. Last September We again assembled with an enrollment of seventeen. Those who are not with us this year are: Lucille Martin, Mabel Aeschleman, Lucy Degiovannie, and Rosa Johnson. Now we are not Freshmen just starting in, Or Sophomores either you seeg We have not as yet reached our Senior year, But are just as contented as Juniors can be. Can You Think of? Marie as a Movie Star? Kathryn as a Public Speaker? Verna as a Mathematics teacher? Ada as not being brilliant? Anna as a minister's Wife? Annabel as the tallest girl in U. S.? Sam as an English teacher? Nettie as a toe dancer? Victor as not trying to act funny? Frank as a big man? Eugene as being little? Ethel as a fortune teller? Ella as a Grand Opera Singer? Viola as a nurse? Arwilla as not being the owner of a Beauty Parlor? Earl as a College Instructor?

S. 37 The High School as a Freshman Sees It The last year that we attended grade school. we thought we knew quite a lot of things, so we would not act foolish when we reached high school. We had heard a lot of criticism about the Freshman cl'ass of the year before, and we were determined to act differently, so that we would not be criticized so much. We soon changed our minds, for we did as many foolish things as the previous class had done, if not many more. There were forty of us that enrolled the first day, and our class was the largest one there. We had no classes the first day as the faculty were trying to prepare a program for the whole school. It seemed quite a treat to us to be required to take only four subjects, as we had to take eight the year before. By the end of the first six weeks we found out that the four subjects we were taking were much harder than the eight we had taken before. The second day we began our work and the greatest trouble we had was finding the different class rooms. Most of us were late for the first class. The room was too small to hol'd all of the freshmen so we were divided into two sections. In the first few recitations some of us were very stupid, and wouldn't answer questions when asked by the teacher. Some of the country people would speak right out loud and wouldn't think much of it, but it seemed to the town people as though they were trying to show off, while it seemed to the country people that the town people didn't know anything. We had formed our opinions of the faculty before school started. We were already acquainted with some of them as they had taught here before. The new members were very friendly to us, but we took a liking to some quicker than to others. Since the Seniors were in the highest class we felt that they had quite a lot of authority over us. We thought that they would criticize us when ever we did something out of the ordinary, so we behaved better when they were around. The Juniors seem to us a very jolly bunch. They treated us as well as could be expected, tried to help us in every way and made us feel as if We were of some importance. The Sophomores were more like our own classmates, for they had not been in high school long, and were not far ahead of us. At the first baseball game we felt very proud to think that we were a part of the high school. There was a great deal of yelling done. At one time we must have yelled too much, or at the wrong time, for we were told by the upper classrnen to be still. This angered us, so we woufd not yell any more at that game. The morning after the second game a member of the faculty spoke of some of the pupils not yelling. We knew he meant us, so at the next game we yelled as much as possible. We haven't been told to stop yelling since. At one of our pep meetings we were told that we made the most noise of any 38 ECHO class in high school, after they had all had a chance. We helped a great deal in the rooting at both baseball and basketball games and are said to possess good lungs. Our party, which was given on the 14th of February, was enjoyed by every one who attend it. It was the first class party we had ever had. We have been at school nearly a year, and have become acquainted with the customs of high school. We have also changed our minds about many things and have found out that the faculty and upper classmen have been a great help to us in many Ways. We believe that there isn't a better faculty, or a better bunch of classmates anywhere around. We are trying to be loyal to our school, and help in every Way so that it may keep its good reputation. We are very proud to belong to Roanoke High School. Violet Teuscher fdlgleiinz I i 2 Q Z I 1 1 1 li. N. H. S. 39 R. V. ll. S. BASEBALL TEAM Back row, left to right: C. A.

The team started with two letter men from last year, Zimmerman and Herbst, with the addition of Carl Sand, Eddie Sand, Legel, Sorg, and Monge. The team was not able to make a very good showing at the first of the season, because not one had played on ,this team before.

ANDREW ZIMMERMAN After his experience of last year Butch showed real form. He played guard most of the time, but he also made a good showing as center. He also made Second All Star Team at Eureka District Tournament. EDDIE SAND Eddie played great basket ball for his first year on the team. He was always ready to show his Sand against his opponents. LEWIS LEGEL Louie played his first season on R. V. H. S. squad, proving he had good floorwork and a good eye for the basket. CARL SAND Freckles also played his first year as regular. Being quick on his feet, he was a great aid to the team. PETE MICCA Pete played a very good game at center. He started late in the season because he was ineligible until second semster. He was a great addition to the team. He was placed on the Woodford County All Star First Team. EARL SORG Making his debut as a regular on the team this year, Sorg played the position of running guard and center. He played a fast game, doing his share of the work in every game.

She was always ready to give up her own work to help us. We are very grateful for her assistance and are very proud of the cast she choose. Elsie was all one could expect of a mother. Her eyes have caused ma.ny of the boys of R. V. H. S. to suffer from heart trouble, but just the same, she could close the mischief makers and take the part of the blind lady to per- fection. This was Loisis first? attempt in a play. She played the part of a dutiful daughter. Lois never seemed to care much for the opposite sex, but no doubt she kept it a secret, because no amateur could have done it with so much ease. Who thought Pansy could be so saucy? We doubt if any one did, at least we didn't. She furnished a great deal of amusement, even if she did hurt Danny 's feelings once in a while. Eddie was all we expected and a little more. He made a very good farmer boy, if he keeps on finding out secrets, he will make a good detective. We proved in this play that Eddie is capable of taking almost any part. We always knew we had a wonderful class, but we didn 't know we had a lawyer in our midst. Carl played his part to the letter and we think he is O. K. Casey made an attractive millionaire. When it came to the witty parts he was right at home. To tell the truth, we place Casey with the rest of the professionals. , We really can 't blame Carl CValD for falling in love with Lava CAllieD. The part fit her to a T , because she is usually very cheerful and has a pleas- ing personality. . Q! iii P . 3 x i W lu . ST' , K5 ,.: . ., L., 1 .Q V : Q ' 1 - A 3, A an L ,. . ,.

The part of the villain is not easy to play and Lewis, proved that he must say more than most of us know. Assembly Speakers e Oct. 6, 1924. Prof. Skinner, a teacher of an Hawaiian Grammar School, gave an interesting talk on the facilities for teaching the different races of boys and girls, that make up the population of the Hawaiian Islands. Oct. 20, 1924. Mr. Hawkins, of the Peoria School of Nursing, gave an interesting talk on Education. He spoke of the kind of work he was doing along educational lines. Oct. 27, 1924. T. P. Pettigrew gave us a talk about the cement mills at LaSalle. He also mentioned the way he went into the factory the first time, and the way he was thrown out of the factory. Nov. 3, 1924. Austin A. Rogers, the Methodist minister, gave an interest- ing talk about the ways of life, comparing them to Bacon's Essays, making mention of the following quotation, Read not to contradict and confute, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. Nov. 17, 1924. Mr. J. J. O7O0nnor of the Baron Brick Co. spoke about the use of tile. He stressed the fact that the supply of lluvnber is becoming exhausted, and that the use of tile serves the purpose of building materials. Nov. 19, 1924. Dr. R. T. Rodaway gave us a talk about Bacteriology. He made the subject very interesting, telling of the different kinds of bacteria, and the life of each. On March 4, 1925, the High School student body and Faculty had the opportunity of hearing the Inaugural Address, by Radio. Many thanks to the Roanoke Hdwe. Co. for the use of the Radio equipment. U Sophomore Party Friday night, March 14, we Sophs indulged in a very enjoyable party in the Gym. The evening was spent in singing, playing games, and hypnotizing. ln this we all had the pleasure of seeing Miss Kneale dance. We also heard our Vocal soloist, Melvin, sing, t'There's No Place Like Home. Dainty refreshments were served and then we departed for home. Every one reported a good time. Freshman Valentine Party The Freshmen had a Valentine Party in the gymnasium, February 14. The evening was spent in playing games, and giving a one act play, coached by Mr. Emrich. A dainty lap supper was served, after which all departed in the best of spirits. I 52 ECHO Junior Trip to Metamora On October 28, we, the Junior Class, accompanied by Miss Moore, took a trip to Metamora to see the Lincoln Museum and Memorials. As we were study- ing about Lincoln in English, Miss Moore thought it would make our study much more interesting if we could see some of the memorials. First we visited the old court house in which Lincoln practiced law. The people of Metamora plan to make this into a museum. The most interesting things which we saw there were two portraits of Lincoln. One of these was especially good. In front of the court house stands a memorial dedicated to Lincoln, saying that he had passed that way on one of his trips through the country. Across the street is another marker, showing the spot where one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates was held. About a mile south of Metamora a large boulder stands in a field. This also marks the place of a Lincoln-Douglas debate. At the road dividing Wood- ford and Tazewell Counties, another memorial is placed. A It gave all of us a thrill to know that we were standing on the very spots where Lincoln himself had stood. We came home feeling that we had been well rewarded for the time spent. We were all more eager to study about this great man who had done so much for our nation. Sophomore Hallowe'en Party The Sophomores entertained the faculty October 31, at a masquerade party. The evening was spent in playing games. Hypnotizing afforded a great deal of fun. Later in the evening a lunch was served, consisting of sandwiches, lemonade, cakes, apples and pears. Basketball Banquet On February 10, the faculty and the Senior girls gave a banquet in honor of the basket ball boys who had recently won the tournament at Washburn. The banquet was held in the high school banquet hall. Toasts were given by members of the team, faculty and student body. The following menu was served: Fruit Cocktail Escalloped Potatoes Baked Ham Creamed Peas Olives Rolls Pickles Waldorf Salad Saltines Ice Cream Nabiscoes Coffee Freshman Sophomore Picnic The Freshmen and Sophomores had a Wiener roast on September 11, in order to become better acquainted with each other and with the faculty. We R. V. H. S. 53 went to the woods about a mile and a half east of town. After a picnic supper, we played games till dark and were all sorry when we had to depart for home. Senior Picnic The Seniors entertained the faculty on September 16, 1924 at a picnic. After we reached the picnic grounds we made coffee and had a picnic supper. Then stories and jokes were told, and at a late hour we adjourned, and started for home. The Junior Picnic On Thursday, September 25, we the Junior Class, decided to have a picnic in the woods. NVe immediately ordered a picnic supper, invited the faculty, and at about 4:30, we were all at the post-office waiting for cars. We finally .solved the car problem, and then although few of us knew where we were going to have our picnic, we found a very suitable place, Dammon's grove. The first, and one of the most interesting events of the evening, was getting Earl 's car out of a mud hole. This. although it was quite a muddy task for some of the boys, afforded much fun and excitement and also served to increase our appetites. We then had our supper, and after telling stories and singing songs, we all started for home in the best of spirits. Granville Trip October 15, the Seniors, Miss Moore, and Mr. Blue took a trip to Granville, Illinois to visit the high school. We reached there about 10:30 and were shown about the building by the superintendent, Mr. Ingram. The things of most interest to us were their memorials, museum, art gallery, and library. Granville has developed an unusual community interest in this school, and many of their memorials have be given by the community. One of the most interesting features of the school is their combined High- School and Community Library. Among the pictures, we were especially inter- ested in the Sir Galahad groups. Among the statuary groups are three life sized statues of Lincoln, Washington, and Roosevelt. During the noon hour we went to the park to eat our lunch which we had taken with us. Then we went back to the high school until about 2:00 o'clock when we started for home. Not being far from Starved Rock we decided to stop there. We reached the park' just in time to take the boat for Horse Shoe Canyon. When we came back we climbed the rock and took some pictures. When we had again resumed our homeward journey, we were as happy a group of seniors as one could wish to find, for we had not only had a good time, but had learned a great deal that we could use in our school. Father and Son Banquet The first father and son banquet was given March 27, at 5:45 P. M. The tables were arranged in the shape of the letter I through the center of the 54 ECHO gymnasium and were decorated in orange and blue, the high sehool colors. About all the members of the agricultural classes were there, but their fathers were not so mueh in evidenee. Mueh credit is due to Mr. Einrieh and Miss Danahay and her eooking elass for their work and nianagenient. Following the banquet the program ol' after dinner speeches and music was given. Mr. Castelo aeted as toastnlaster. introdueing eaeh speaker with a few witty remarks. The address of weleorne, which everyone enjoyed, was given by Mr. Enirieh. Mr. Wilson. seeretary of the sehool board. was to give the response, but as he was unable to attend Mr. Pettigrew eonsented to take his plaee. A group oif songs were sung by the Agricultural boys with Miss Dorsey aeeompanying at the piano. Lloyd Studer gave a brief aeeount of his soy bean projeet, including his aetual work and reeords in detail. Miss Lava lflauber and Samuel Designe sang a series of songs, which were enjoyed very inueh. Prof. L. li. Seranton of the llniversity of Illinois spoke brieliy about the Smith-llughes work, also of the father and sonsl banquets held in various plaees throughout the state. Mr. l'has. lil. Snyder, Editor ot the Vhieago Daily Drovers Journal, appeared as the final speaker of the evening. His opening remarks were very humorous and he referred to Mr. Vastello in their former sehool days. He also spoke of the eonditions of the farmer, that he was not reeeiving a square deal, but he thought that things were beeoining adjusted . id now the business would be more prontable.

M. It was called to order by Raymond Herbst, who acted at president pro-tem. The election of officers constituted the opening business. Raymond Herbst was elected President, Henry Sand, Vice President and Sam Zimmerman, Secre- tary-Treasurer. The term of office was fixed at one year, new officers to be elected every year. The further business resulted in the following resolutions: to give an Alumni banquet sometime during the Christmas holidays, to hold a bakery sale for the purpose of raising immediate funds, and to stage a play to help finance the cost of the banquet. Committees were appointed to take charge of carrying out these proposals. Alumni Bakery Sale The Alumni Bakery Sale was held Saturday, December 6, in the Zimmer7 man butcher shop. Cakes, pies, candy, etc. were donated by Alumni members. The sale proved financially successful. Alumni Banquet The Alumni Banquet was held Friday evening, December 26, 1924, at the High School Gymnasium. The place was tastefully decorated, with the tables set in the shape 'of a horseshoe. After the banquet, the following program was given, after which all gathered around the piano and sang the old school songs.

Nick and Shrad Herbst also played a pleasing saxaphone duet for the other intermimion. Alumni Basketball Section, 1924-1925 The Roanoke Alumni Basket Ball Team, all of whom were Roanoke Boys, comprised one of the best teams that Roanoke has ever had. We have every reason to be proud of them for their' fast and clean playing. While they did not win such a large percent of their games, we must remember that they played the fastest teams in this and other sections. They lost several heart- breaking games by just a few points, in fact, they lost three games by just one point, two games by just two points, and two games by just three points. The team was composed of Captain Henry Sand, Eugene Audi and Leslie Brown, forwards, Gaylord Woltzen, Center, and Sam Zimmerman, Omer Greuter and Fred Gudeman, guards.

If you should gain but one bushel per acre by changing seed it would pay you. The highest number pounds per acre of dry, shelled, marketable corn is the true test of high yield. Try out a row of other corn along side a row of your corn. Next fall husk about 25 consecutive hills from each row, dry it out, shell and have local agriculture teacher give it a test for moisture, then compute the yield per acre and you'll stop the guess Work about your corn.
