The KICK-OFF 1926 CLASS HISTORY Wo, the Seniors of ’25, would not think the “Kick-Off” complete without a brief history of our class, which now seems like four of the shortest years of life. Our class of ’25 entered its High School career in the fall of 1921. We, as Freshmen, were, as most Freshmen are,—green. We had much to learn. A number of us were stars in the High School theatrical, “All Aboard,” and helped to make it a great success. During our Sophomore year several parties and dances were held at the school building. At these social events many close friendships were formed. We were loyal helpers to our sister class, the Seniors, in keeping fresh paint on the cupola. There was not much activity during our Junior year. Miss Rush, our class advisor, gave the class a party at the school, which everyone enjoyed. A play, “Patty Makes Things Hum,” was presented by the class at Wavland. This was a great success in every way. The play, followed by a dance, was also given at Scottsburg. The last, but not least, social event for the year, 1924, was the Junior-Senior banquet. The Senior Class of ’25 organized temporarily in October, 1924, and re-organized in January, 1925, electing Kenneth Smalt, President; Vesta Rauber, Vice-President; Dorothy Folts, Secretary and Treasurer. Orange and Black were chosen for class colors and a yellow rose for class flower. Shortly after we came back in the fall of ’24 the school had a get- together party. The next event of any importance was the Hallowe’en masquerade party. While this was not for the Seniors alone, they wore there and helped in the good time. A big event for the Seniors in ’24 was the Senior Frolic featuring a one-act farce, “Jla’s New Boarders.” This was a decided success. During Faster week the Seniors undertook to arrange a High School alumni social function which was held at the Casino. Besides furnishing a “get-together” for every one connected with Wavland High School, the proceeds were added to the Senior class treasury. The final big achievement of our Senior year was the play, “Mr Bob,” staged by the Senior Class under the direction of Miss Rush. This play was presented at Wavland and also at Livonia where dancing followed the play. The proceeds of both of these affairs were added to the class fund.
