History of the Class of '25 In the early part of September of the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, an assemblage of some two hundred and sixty of Americas youths, entered the Washington County High School. Yes, we were gree , but it takes green things to grow. The goal seemed far distant and hazy t first. Then as the days went by, we began to possess a bit of knowledge ani self confidence, which are the first requisite to great undertakings. Since the most successful enterprises must be organized, a class meeting was called. The following officers were elected, and well did they serve, President, C. L. Stoufferg Vice-President, Josephine Spielmang Secretary, Ida Rowland, Treasurer, Thomas Gordong Assistant Treasurer, Virginia Shenk. Autumn came. Again we were back at our studies with a grim determina- tion to succeed. Like preceding classes. ours also decreased in number. Son'e fell by the wayside while others usteamecl ahead. The biggest event of the year was out first class party which was held in February. It was a joyous meeting of our classmates, a delightful affair in- deed. At a class meeting we selected our class flower, class colors, our motto, and designs for our rings, pins and pennants. We became active in athletics. In the Inter-Class basketball tourn' - ment we came out victorious. We were not only represented well in athleti but we also had a fine representation in music and art. Then came the third mile-stone. The class divided itself into Commerciil and Academic sections in accordance with the vocational tendencies of its in- dividual members. During the year a debate was held between the boys and girls, in which the girls won. Due to the withdrawal of our President, whose absence was felt by all, A. Jay Schaff was elected to the office. We gave a farewell to the Seniors at the Country Club. It was consid r- ed one oi the most elaborate farewells ever held in the history of our Hi h School. Now has come the last mile-stone of our High School course. To crown our class with more glory, our football team won the Cumberland Valley Championship. Preparations are now being made for our final windup. Only too soon will our classmates be separated, and each will take up his duties and start out on lifeys great highway to strive for success. 7 Fifty
