- The Beaver-- Class History I remember, I remember Our good old Freshmen days And Miss Janike who started us, In High School’s pleasant ways. We entered High School fifty strong in the fall of 1923. We may have been green but we were bubbling over with pep and good spirits. They tried to initiate us but ail they did was scare us a little. We were ahead for two days in the Maroon contest and although we didn’t win it encouraged us to bigger and better things. Besides we won a quarter holiday by the contest and we made the most of it, even if it did rain that day. We placed several members in the Declamatory contest that year and also did our part in the High School carnival. Our officers were Violette Nelson, president; Morris Shaffer, vice-president and Donald O’Bryan, secretary-treasurer. W : chose scarlet and cream as our class colors and proud we were on the day we presented our pennant. The second year in S. E. H. S. we elected the following officers: Pansy Fonda, president; Frank Fonda, vice-president; and Kenneth Carter, secretary-treasurer. This was the year we had to struggle through plane geometry and thus first got acquainted with Miss Mitchell. However she wasn’t our sponsor. Miss Newcomb filled this position the first part of the year but which she resigned in favor of Mr. Gray and well do we remember him, especially the the time we went to the skating rink at Genoa. We didn’t seem to have much use for sponsors that year, in fact we ran off to Columbus one day and Mr. Gray had to borrow a car to follow us. The year we were Juniors we put ourselves on the map by the presentation of “Home Ties,” one of the most successful plays ever given in S. E. H. S. We also entered several contestants in declamatory and several of our boys began to shine as basketball stars. Our banquet, given in an “old fashioned garden” was a huge success, and likewise everything we undertook. We received several new members this year and they were W’armly received. Our officers were: Frank Fonda, president; Kenneth Carter, vice-president; Morris Shaffer, secretary-treasurer. Senior year is always the gladdest and the saddest of any in school. We won the Beaver and Maroon contest both this year. Many of our members were in declamatory. Our Senior play was “Adam and Eva”. Three new ideas were introduced in high school this year. One was the double-seats and I am sure we all benefited by this. This was the first year St. Ed. had a student manager and one of our members, Frank Fonda, was chosen for this position. The class of ’27 was the first to have a mascot and our little mascot was with us everywhere and certainly beloved by all. Our Senior officers were: Frank Fonda, president; Donald O’Bryan, vice-president; and Nina Anderson, secretary-treasurer. And now as we go “from school life into life’s school” and we look back over the years of happiness spent together there we’ll always have a warm spot in our hearts for dear old S. E. H. S. and the class of ’27, the largest class ever graduating from here. ft- 1927
