the weenies, to make them taste good, we had the additional joy of seeing our joe hopping around in a three inch skirt, while being chased by a boy with a harmless water snake. Of course it was not the boy she ran from! In spite of many resolutions to walk to Dunlaps afterwards, we were glad enough to hop a wagon back to old Elkhart and were finally deposited safely at the Family Theatre. Next the class was delightfully entertained at the home of Miss Kantz in Bristol. This was followed by a sudden burst of friendship between the H A's of that time, and ourselves. This was manifested by several joint parties at the homes of Lora Ziesel, Catherine Jane Reed and Beatrice Brumbaugh. Then one day a cherished plan came to pass and Mr. Snyder be- came an honorary member of the class. He shows his opinion of our pins and our class in general by wearing our emblem on his coat. Qlf you have not noticed this look at oncej. However, the promised party in his honor still remains a dream of the future. Strange to tell, we began to realize our lack of funds in the treas- ury and then we conceived the very original plan, of which we are so proud, that of selling candy at the basketball games. As expected, this little business undertaking filled our coffers with gold. Since becoming II A's, the entertainment committee' has decided that we should no longer indulge in such childish pleasures as parties and so we have contented ourselves with occasional meetings in Miss Grimes' room. The parties are scarcely missed for we are now occu- pied with more serious things, among them rhetoricals, term reports and graduation essays. And now the great days are drawing near. We do not like to boast but we firmly believe that the class play, Polly Primrosef' is going to be the best ever. Graduation day shines ahead and the boys are beginning to consider the color of their suits, socks and neckties, and girls, the style of their frocks. Thus closes the last chapter of our class history, and we hope the future maj' deal as kindly with us as has E. H. S. H. L. Twenty-eight WWW'

On December 4, the girls treated the fellows to a progressive supper. Although a splendid menu was prepared, it could have been better appreciated, by a larger attendance of the male sex. This was the final social affair of our first term junior Session. The only other affair of importance during this term was the free-for-alll, fight in front of the Library, one fall day, between the Juniors and Seniors. The cause of this little disagreement was a ban- ner of the june, ,15 Class hung on the cables between Lexington and High, on Second street. The Seniors thought it ought to come down, the Juniors vowed it would stay up. Finally, it ended in Stuart Coch- ran being escorted to jail, followed by nearly the entire school. During the second term of our juniorshy, we devoted more of the steadily growing more precious, time to Junior rhetoricals and had fewer parties. On March 17, we again assembled at Red Men's Hall, for fear our social learning should grow rusty. The refreshments, which are always welcome, were served in a novel way. Miss Thayer and Miss Scherling were the chaperons. The concluding party of our jolly Junior year was held at Mc- Naughton Park. It was a picnic supper, and the chief features of the evening was the playing of Ante-ante-hi-over -over the pavilion, by the rejuvenated juniors and the dignified chaperon, Mr. Vieth. On the last day of our third year in High School we sprung our class pins, the cutest and best looking ones ever worn by E. H. S. students. 1. M.. ,15.

Everything possible was an- nounced on the bulletin board in order to call the attention of the lower classmen, that it was now our honored privilege to use this. VVe soon decided to get something stirring and accordingly, one night we set out on a 'weenie roast to that time honored place- Yellow Creek.
