HISTORY UF CLASS OF' '25 Four short years ago We entered high school. We were not at all bashful but we earnestly hope that we did not give our teachers quite so inuch trouble as some freshmen since. About the first thing we did was to hold a class meeting. show- ing our good judgment by electing Edward Decker for presi- dent, Marjorie Fink for vice-president, Charlotte Corbin for secretary and Hildred McIlwain for treasurer. Soon after our arrival we were tendered a reception by the class of '21 Wife enjoyed an evening made pleasant by num- bers rendered by different nieinbers of high school. tWe shall always reineinber and marvel at Mr. Kelsey 's inagicl. Shortly after this we held our iirst hot dog roast at Mt, lltsayantha Lake with Miss U'Hara and Mr. Van llfie as chap- erones. Nothing out of the ordinary happened during that year. VVe took a little something out of everything going and had a good tiine in general. Just before school closed for the sunnner vacation, we had our picnic at Sherman Lake with Mrs. Corbin for chaperon. Thus the events of our lirst year came to a close and we went on to our second year, glad that We were no longer to be called babies lVe began our sophoinore year early in the year by call- ing a class ineeting. This year we chose Charlotte Corbin for president, Glenn Hayner for vice-president and Ruth Hall for secretary and treasurer. The first event of our sophomore year was the annual hot d-og , roast. Accompanied by Mr. Van Wie as chaperon, we Went one evening to Odell Lake. Like most dog roasts, this Was a huge success. i . That year started us upon our career as editors. VVe were to be the tirstthat year to publish the Reveille. Nile elected William Atchinson as editor and Glenn Hayner as assistant editor with the rest of us as associate editors. This, the one and only Reveille which we published, was quite a success.

The next thing of importance was to determine our class motto, flower and colors. After a little argument we decided upon the following: Class motto-Accipere quam facere iniuriam praestat. tlt is better to suffer wrong than to do it.l Class flower-Lily of the valley. Class colors-Blue and gold. Our annual picnic was held at Cooperstown Lake on Sat- urday, June sixteenth, with Misses Helen and Elizabeth Bruce as chzlpcrons. Cn the first of September, the class held a meeting to de- cide on the officers. Hildred McIlwain as president, Charlotte Corbin as vice-president, Herbert Hedges as secretary, and Ruth Hall as treasurer were the oliicers selected. However, due to the new count system, in October, it was necessary to select new ollicers. From the five Juniors that were left Marjorie Fink was chosen as president, Charlotte Corbin as vice-presi- dent and Ruth Hall as secretary and treasurer. Cn becoming Juniors we had the privilege of' selecting class pins. The big event of our Junior year was held on May six- teenth. This was our Junior Prom given at the Country Club. It was an invitation dance. We had a good orchestra a11d held the dance from eight until two. NVe realized about eighty-eight dollars. This was very good for Juniors. In the first part of June we held our picnic at Coopers- town Lake with Miss Cowles and Miss McPhee as chaperons. Our Senior year has been, by far, the most fun, and the one in which We have worked the hardest. Vlle organized at once, choosing for president Harry Mor- row, for vice-president Charlotte Corbin, and Ruth Hall for secretary and treasurer. VVe at once welcomed the new members to high school with a reception. Several numbers were rendered, after which re- freshments were served. Everyone seemed to have a good time.
