Historu of tlje (!lkss of 2 In the fall of 1921 a frightened and timid little group of boys and girls enrolled as Freshmen. The first few days were spent in trying to find our class rooms, and also trying ' to keep away from upper classmen. In a few weeks we had become accustomed to high school life, and took active part in all amusements and in school work. Labor Day was the day of days for Freshmen. The girls were decorated to look like Indians with all sorts of colors on their faces. The boys had to make a few ora¬ tions and sing some selections. We were hosts at two parties during this year. They were enjoyed by all who attended. During our Sophomore year we did not lack in social spirit. The fancy dress ball which took place at the Club House is still spoken of as being one of the most enjoyable functions of the year. Mr. Edwards, who was our class teacher, did a great deal toward making our class what it is today. When he had charge of the class we saluted the flag every morning and were considered patriotic. As Juniors our most important affair was the Junior-Senior Dinner. There were two long rows of tables arranged one on each side of the room in the Club House. Chinese Lanterns were hung above the tables to repre¬ sent archways. These lanterns did catch on fire once in a while, but it gave some of the boys an opportunity to be heroic and it made the dinner a unique affair. Taking it all together it was considered quite a success. The Class of ’25 has taken an active part in athletics. Throughout our four years we have had some fine athletics. In interclass games we have usually made a good showing. When participating in outside games we have always been well represented. Three years passed very rapidly and before we knew it we were Seniors. We were the first class to graduate from the new high school. We have tried to set a good example to the rest of the school, especially the Freshmen. The carnival given by the school was made a success partly by the dance given by the Seniors. Julia Ruschin won the Lincoln Essay Medal, given by the Illinois Watch Company. Taking the class as a whole, we have been promising and dignified. Page Sixteen
