TI'E!l.VllI'UP' HISTORY Ulf THF CLASS OF 1925 The good old Class of 1925 was the first preparatory -class to enter the Academy with tlIe new Faculty. No doubt we were very timid and frightened little preps but we soon outgrew our shyness. lVe were very proud of having a member of our class on tlIe Academy baseball teaml Qf course, it was no other than Dick Ketchum, our president. Dick and many other boys in the class have continued to distinguish themselves and us in athletics, -for they won the basketball championship for two successive years. The girls, too, have slIown their merit in basketball, field hockey. and volley-ball. During our Junior year we elected oflicers. Each of the two divisions of the class had its own officers, but we realized that we could not have true class spirit with- out unity. Accordingly, we elected officers to represent tlIe whole class. The next year, our Junior hliddle year, found some of us in Room 3. There We were a source of constant annoyance to hlr. Hetherston, who declared we were the noisiest class tlIat had ever been in that room. That year was tlIe Golden Age of our class. ive certainly lengthened the Honor Roll considerably. This year we gave our reception. ive are sure that everyone who was at the Cochato Club that night will agree that the dance was a brilliant success. A few of the members of our class contributed to the success of the French plays. If any- one is ever in need of a street urchin, we heartily recommend Steve Balkam. lVe had the pleasure and privilege last fall of welcoming lNIiss Gemmel as our English teacher, and we hope to show her that the East is quite as attractive as the VVest. Altogether, our school life has been a happy one, and we sincerely hope that we may leave a record of scholarship and usefulness that will be an inspiration and a guide to those who come after us.

TI'Ed.illICI' HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1926 livery Class Five at Thayer up to our time has had to go through a year of being the youngest class, but not so with the Class of '26. VVhen, in the fall of 1921, we arrived at Thayer, we found to our joy that there was a class even younger than We were. During that first year We showed that we had something to be proud of when Sammy Long shone on the gridiron, and Phyllis Abell and Alice Cole received prizes for Latin at the end of the year. Other classmates showed that, though 'kprepsu then, they would eventually come to something better. VVe showed good judgment in our election of class oflicers by selecting Sam Long as president and John Palmer, Virginia Barham, and Phyllis Abell as vice- president, treasurer, and secretary, respectively. The school year of 1922-23 brought forth many of our athletes in football. basketball, hockey, and baseball. In this, our present year, most of our boys can be found on some team or other. Our girls, in the meantime, have not stood back and looked on always. Any- one who has seen the exhibitions of the last two years, or the meets, realizes that the athletic ability of our class is not to be scoffed at. lVe think that by the time we are Seniors that we shall be able to look back on our school years without being disappointed at what we have accomplished.
