Our experi- ences have been many and varied. The past four years have been, without a doubt. the most enjoyable and profitable that we can hope to experience. Classmates. it is my hope that each will use his high school career as a stepping stone to greater achievements. Friends. it is my prophecy that each Senior of this class will go forth. into the world. better e- quiped to meet the fortunes which life shall have in store for him. as a result of your combined efforts. After we have finished the required four years of work it is imperative that we graduate. It is with reluctance that we relinguish the duties which we now have. Wie hope that the future graduates will observe the traditions of the school as faithfully as we have. In the opinion of the Seniors we have been fortunate in having a faculty. both this as well as former years. endowed with wisdom both in regard to teaching and good sportsman- ship. VVe, the class of '25, wish to take this opportunity to thank the Board of liducation which has cooperated in so many ways. The keen interest which they have taken in the school activities has done much to broaden the school spirit. Although the high school has not enjoyed a very success- ful year in Basket Ball, it is the belief of the Seniors that the past year has brought out the good sportsmanship in ath- letics. ln spite of hardships the athletic organization of the school has carried itself forward with an effort which is com- mendable. . X'Ve have chosen as our class motto, Out of school life in- to l,ife's school. VVe realize that we are about to enter a school that is more difficult. one of which requires more study and which takes in a larger scope of humanity. Perhaps we have not accomplished certain desires in our high school course. but our failure was not because of lack of ambition or earnestness but because the goal for which we have striven was too perfect. And now in behalf of the Seniors. l wish to thank each person who has helped, by word or deed, to make our high school career one of success. GIMXIJYS SCHOON. SALUTATORY ARENTS, Friends. and Patrons, 1 take great pleasure as Salutatorian of the Class of 1925 in welcoming you to this. our Class Day Program.

VVe wish to express our sincere appreciation to you to-night, because as tax-payers, you have made it possible for us to finish our High School work in this new building, of which each and everyone of us is proud. lt has given us many ad- vantages and we are duly grateful. We wish to thank the faculty for their untiring efforts in bringing our High School career successfully to a close. We do not forget the teachers of the other three years who did

We have spent four happy, industrious years of High School study and as the time arrives to embark on Life's sea, it is with a feeling of rejoicing mingled with a pang of regret that we say good-bye. We appreciate the efforts of those who stood by the orga- nization and made it possible for us to reach the goal. and now that that organization is firmly established we trust that the parents of the children of the grammar school will encourage them to grasp the advantages which are offered here and in- still in them the ideal of ncarrying on. GLENN L. CLINEBELL. SENIOR CHARGE UNIORS and Underclassmen: I wish to speak to the Juniors who, in the following term, will be Seniors in the high school. I do not wish to ridicule you in any way or discourage you from your school work, but to point out your mistakes and show where you must improve before you can become as successful as the Class of 'Z5. To become a successful class will require the combined efforts of each student, as has been displayed by the pres- ent Seniors. We are leaving a record that has never been surpassed by any from Timber Township High School. We have all worked together in an effort to gain something that will not be forgotten. There has not been a task or lesson that the Seniors would not undertake. First I wish to call your attention to the high standing of the Seniorsin scho- lastic affairs. When the Honor Roll was introduced this last year two Seniors were on the list the first month. Jun- iors, only one of your number gained this distinction. Before it will be possible to uphold the dignified position as Seniors, it will be necessary to consider the conduct of certain members of your class. lN'e were willing to overlook many acts upon your first appearance as Freshmen in high school. But, by the time a pupil is a Junior he should have advanced to the point where he considers school an impor- tant matter. Juniors, what explanation can you make for that member of your class who takes responsibility so lightly that he stays out of school on examination day to hunt wild ducks? Also what is wrong with a third year student who must take a Friday off to gather nuts? I charge you to check such conduct if you are to become worthy of the name Seniors. The faculty will have a dihficult problem next year when they select the characters for the annual play. The reason for this is plainly seen, because the notable actors and ac- tresses will not be in the high school. As Freshmen in high the Senior Class played a very important part in the plays. In many of the plays the Class of '25 was called upon to take the important parts because of its ability. Further recogni- tion of our talent along this line was shown, from the fact that when you gave your class play you called upon one of our allstar actors to take an important part. The basketball team will be disabled from the loss of the Senior boys. The Captain has been chosen from the Class of T25 for the last two years. Although there are only five boys in our class. four of them play regular on the team. VVhat will the team be when two forwards, a center and a guard are taken from it? You no doubt will say that you will not miss us but where will you get the scoring machine?
