Senior Glass Officers Page Gardner President Henry Duke Vice-President Minnie Hill . Secretary Fred Bull - Treasurer Joseph Burger Rep. to Ex. Council Walter Bromley Sergeant-at-Arms G. Page Gardner, President History T was back in the good old days of September, 1921, that the campus surrounding the University of Maryland was brilliantly illuminated by rays of emerald hue. Even old Sol looked perplexed and a dark shadow of awe crossed his brow — wait a minute folks, don ' t be alarmed! These glaring rays of green were merely the members of the Class of ' 25. As the days rolled by, the high and mighty Sophomores diligently and tirelessly plied their trade, and within a few weeks they successfully accomplished their desire — that of subduing the Freshmen of ' 21. We, the innocent victims of circumstance, dutifully obeyed the will of these superior beings and walked submissively to classes with the Sophomore trademarks of Rat and Rabbit stamped plainly on our once smiling visages. The month of June came and woe to the Sophs for the impossible became possible and we gained our revenge by an overwhelming landslide; we easily pulled our superiors into the muddy waters of the famous old Paint Branch. By the end of our first year at Maryland, it became noticeable that the Class of ' 25 had some very promising budding athletes, orators, and social leaders. And so it came to pass that we were full-fledged Sophomores. A few of our ' 21 classmates had fallen by the wayside but, nevertheless, we still held a goodly number of students.

Several members from the Class of ' 25 were among the leaders in the various sports. Girls ' basket-ball was inaugurated this year. Four coeds from our class were among those who brought this sport to a success at Maryland. Five of our coeds also held places on the Girls ' Rifle Team. All five of these feminine sharpshooters received letters and they are the first women students who ha e become members of the M Club. Four collegiate years have been stored away in the pleasant corners of our memories. Our little journey is over, and we have arrived at the crossroads on which we begin our lifetime journeys; may happiness and prosperity accompany every member. We wish to express our strongest appreciation to the members of the faculty for their sincere efforts in helping us to reach professional goals. To the students who follow us, we extend our heartiest congratulations and trust that their days at the grand old Alma Mater shall be as pleasant and beneficial as our college days have been.
