hpgph, - T H E O W L HISTORY OF CLASS 1925 We the Class of '25 have not as yet much history to relate, but all hope to have their names enrolled before our four years. of high school life have passed. We entered the High School on Sept. 5, 1921, greeted by the happy cheers and j ibes of the upper classmen and our friends-to-be. All started out to have at good time, thinking it a joke to drop from nine subjects to four. It did not take long however, for most of us to realize our mistake and start to work with the resolve to make good. After three weeks of hard study the Sophomores gave an initiation party in our honor. It was held in the basement of the School Building and every one turned out to have a good time, also to enjoy the refreshments. Every one was then properly and some painfully initiated. Then we were really and truly Freshmen and Oh, what a grand and glorious feeling it Was. As we were then Freshmen proper a meeting was held to organize the class and elect oifixcers, and choose our class colors. Ralph. Piper was elected Presidentg Bunice Vermillion, Vice-President, Helen Morris, Secretary, and Kenneth Roof, Treasurer, with Raymond Jennings, Sergeant-at-Arms. A vote was then taken on the class colors and purple and gold wlere chosen. Gold the conquering hue of the sun and purple to represent royalty. What a grand thing it would be if the forty that started in as Freshmen and chose those colors to represent them through their high school course, could graduate under them in the Spring of '25 and know that they had Won a great victory. They would then enter upon the broad plain of life with those inspiring colors ever before their eyes as a guide, and a new resolution to win the greater battle before them, even as they had won that other battle which hald started in the Assembly Room of the Sunbury High School on Sept. 5t , 1921. MILDRED LAMON, '25 FRESHMAN CLASS POEM 'Twas in the Fall of 'twenty-one, As a Freshman class they had just begun, They came to old S. H. S. and they Will be remembered for many a day. They entered school some forty strong, And showed the Sophomores that they were wrong In thinking Freshmen were all green And never should be heard nor seen. And in the classroom it was found, As well as on the athletic ground, That Freshmen were the ones to shine, And take the honors every time. Though Freshmen come and Freshmen go, The time will never come, I know, When you will find a class more alive Than the famous class of 'twenty-five. FRANK VAN AUKEN, '25

We have endeavored to extend its contents to our present school year eliminating all that was possible concerning activities previous to that time. As we are all human we are subject to mistakes. But by the efficient labor of the Staff, we strove to free our Annual from all mistakes. We feel that our school is giving you an edition equal to that of much larger schools and one which you cannot call cheap. We hope that in future years many Editions will be added to the present ones and that each one will find itself farther advanced than the latter. ATHLETICS Athletics in Sunbury High, the year of 1922, show a marked .success over those of the past few years. We had one of the best basketball quintettes ever produced by our school, and one which deserves much credit. One of its members received the gold medal at the O. W. U. State Tournament for the highest scoring guard from villages with a population from 500 to 1500. We are also able to place a real baseball team on the field, one which will bring honor in future years, as it is composed of seven first year men. Our girls were able to participate in the County Championship basket- ball game. They also brought home the honors from the track meet last spring. One member of the squad won three events which was suflicient to obtain a gold medal. Athletics have been and will be beneficial to our school. It has taken the place of Physical Training. It has aroused our spirit to the highest point and has helped to bring honor to Sunbury and Community. MUSIC A High School Glee Club and a High School Orchestra were organized. Mr. Neilson acted as director of both organizations.
