ANVIL First of all of major importance was the election of the class officers for the year. Again they were judicious, having elected james Matthews, presi- dent, john Benich, vice-presidentg Marjorie Spencer, treasurer, and Alice Sambrook as secretary. Soon the time came when the Senior class for the last time would be responsible for the weekly assemblies. The first assembly was indeed a suc- cess. Another successful event was the Senior Hallowe'en party, at which all were dressed in keeping with the festivity. . As time goes on we entered the second semester. Social functions still predominated for on April 16 the Seniors gave their second party of the year. On April 17 the Seniors again took part in school activities many taking part in the two-day meets held in our new Auditorium and swimming pools. It may be truthfully said that in athletic, debating, and oratory they re- tained the fundamentals which they had established in their Freshman year. Finally with the end rapidly nearing, came about the event of the Senior Prom which proved to be greater than ever before, and was one party that will forever be the most outstanding in the minds of the Class of '25 as a reminder of their happy days in old E. C. H. S. Now, the night of all nights has arrived-Commencement-and Mr. Williams realizes that these years will fade away and become part of the past, and in their place appear new success, new surroundings, disclosing the different pathways to be traversed in the future by our class, the Seniors of '25 - . JU JU J' LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1925 of the East Chicago High School, having survived four years, more or less, of agony and bliss in this institution, and being of a sound and disposing memory at the present, with the exception of a few, and a sound body, as much as can be expected after four years of toil and labor under the clutches of those cruel beings called teachers, we do make public and declare this to be our last W'ill and Testament, thereby revoking any and all Wills heretofore made by us. Article I-We do give and bequeath to our noble and intelligent faculty and to our dear Principal, Mr. Williams, our thanks and appreciation for the earnest and mis-spent efforts by which they so earnestly and maliciously en- deavored to instill a little of their knowledge into our impenetrable heads. Article II-We leave to our eldest heirs, our beloved brethren of the Junior class, our cleverness, our wit, and our high ambitions which at the present time they seem very much to lack, we also give to them the task of carrying on the important affairs of the school, social and otherwise, with- out the valuable aid of this great class.
