Also our thirst for knowledge and the brilliant ways in which we work our minds. Second. to the Sophomores we give the beauty and extraordinary good looks of our class. But we advise you not to get the big head. Third, to the Juniors, the duty of keeping Timber Township High School on the map, and our devotion to our teachers. These we bequeath as a class, and to the individuals, as follows: You will need our note-books all through the year, so a- gain we show our kind thoughtfulness for your welfare and leave for your personal use and guide our Physics note- books. Poor Juniors, they need them. A gentleman true, faithful and studious, is Dale of the Junior class. VVe exalt him as worthy to follow in our foot- steps and also carry the honor of the Class of 1926. This we will him because we bequeath him all the high grades from the Seniors. To Pat we leave an extra seat beside the one which he shall occupy, so that his ever ready-steady may be always by his side. To one of the fair ones of the junior Class, Miss Baty, with complexion and hair of strawberries and cream. we leave as our parting gift the unbashfulness of the Senior girls. Mildred Schoon, the coquette and flirt and the heart-break- er of the Junior Class, has all that her heart desires except Robert, so to her care and keeping we intrust him. To Jack, the handsome man of the junior Class of 1925, We leave our energy and our vim, so that he need not exert himself nor spoil his complexion in getting his studies. To Golda and Fay we bequeath the two first seats, so that their sisterly love may be carried on into their Senior year. To Robert we bequeath the gallantry of the Senior boys for the fair sex, and the basket ball ability of Jesse Nuhn. To Helen Tindall. we bequeath the goat of the Class of 1925, so that she may have a means of conveyance in her homeward journey without bothering anyone. Bernice Tindall leaves her rights as yell leader to Violet Tindall, and her over-weight to Amelia. To Mildred Northrup we leave a pair of four-buckle over- shoes to be used in bad weather when Dale's Ford canlt go. To Gladys Fuller we give all stray wads of chewing gum and one box of face powder and a looking glassfthe mirror as an aid to her in distinguishing powder from chalk dust. Now comes our Bill, the singer and the affectionate member of the Junior Class of 1925. His affection for all the girls in general and none in particular makes us supply his needs by willing to him all the girls of the Freshman andiSophomore Classes. Cfordon's bashfulness is almost pathetic. so we bequeath him an armor of steel to ward off any of Cupid's darts that are liable to fly about the members of the Senior Class. Last but not least. comes the unsophisticated Dawne- the sweet and unpretentious Dawnefto her we do hereby will the care, the guidance and the good name of the Class of 1925. May she keep the boys and girls from late hours and superfluous moonlight rambles. This is our last will and testament, and we hereby nominate and appoint Prof. Dickey as executor, and require him to give a bond of hve moral lectures a week for the faithful discharge of his duties as such executor. Tn testimony thereof. we have set our hands this 28th day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-Hve. CLASS OF 1925. li. R. B. 1

CLASS WILL E, Tl-IE Class of 1925, do hereby wish good luck, God speed, peace and prosperity to the prospective Senior Class of 1926. Therefore we do hereby will to them our hon- ored seats in the Assembly room fnotj because they can ever grace them as did the Class of 1925, but because they are next in line to occupy them. NVe also leave to the Class of 1926 our powerful and in- tellectual facial expression which we have gained during this, our last year of High School experience. This is a great leg- acy and none but those of experience along these lines can ever appreciate the magnitude of our generosity. For you, the Class of 1926, we save you excruciating laborg we also save for you what we fear you will never gain-intellectual facial expression. To the Faculty we will our appreciation for the help they have given us, that we might reach the goal toward which we have been struggling for four long years.

We know how a young man who enters the army is first known as a Private. In this rank his duties are many but his responsibilities are few. He advances to Lieutenant and not only are his duties increased but his responsibilities are doubled. If he labors and improves himself he will perhaps at last be promoted to the high rank of General. It is at this stage that he realizes not only his daily duties but the great work which is before him, that of learning to mingle with and direct those about him. So it was in our school life. NVe started as Freshmen with few duties. VVe worried little and lived a happy care free routine. VVe advanced to Sophomores and a few more duties were placed upon us. As we entered the Junior year we realized that we were far from the Gates of Knowledge, that our responsibilities were increased and that we were a little superior to our lower classmates. This year we have realized how little we know. XYe have experi- enced one of our hardest but happiest years. It has been a lesson to us in realizing the meaning of responsibilities. VVe, like the General, now realize that we must learn to mingle with society and not only please ourselves. but others. This school life has not all been a ray of sunshine. Many have fallen along the wayside and it has taken courage. hope. faith and toil for us to be able to finish our course. There have been many dreary days. It is not all play, but if taken in the right way hard labor and sacrifices must be given, but the gold that is refined in the hottest furnace comes out the purest, and we feel tonight that we have been fully paid for the hardships we have undergone. ln high school we have not only been taught facts. princi- ples and laws but factors that are beneficial to one regard- less of his vocation. W'e have been taught to appreciate bet- ter music, better literature and better amusements. VVe have been taught the meaning of true citizenship and how to live with society. This year we have had two valuable organiza- tions created. The Literary Society, which is as yet in its infancy but its value. we hope. in years to come to be incap- able of measurement. The Girls Athletic Association has struggled to teach the girls to have high aims and ideals. Tonight we pause in a moment of sadness, wondering when we shall meet again. This parting is different from any we have thus far witnessed. VVe are happy that we have this opportunity but yet we cannot cast aside this melancholy feeling. VVe realize the benefits that we have received from our facutly, not only this year but also of the years before. XYhen we traveled through the crisis of many great problems it was their noble minds and thoughtfulness that advanced us to this stage of life and now I take the opportunity of thank- ing them for their endeavor to help us in our work. YVe desire also to thank you juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. for your help throughout our high school career, for your willingness to cooperate and for the honor you have given us. Wie wish to thank the entire community for its efforts in making possible this education at home and for the support it has given us in our social activities of the past. 'We cannot express our appreciation to you, our parents, for your untiring help in this course and the sacrifices you have given. As a token of appreciation we have dedicated our annual to you and we will struggle to fulfill your ideals
