' A The Echo ' SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Uhrichsville, Ohio, March 30, 1924. Doris Dear: I promised you that I'd tell you all that's happened to the class of '24 since you left school. Of course it's impossible to tell everything, so I'1l leave out all small de- tails. When we entered High School as Freshman there were one hundred and three of us. Like all Freshman we were rather timid and hesitating, but after the royal welcome, in the form of a party, which the Seniors gave us in December, we gathered courage. We elected Honey Free as our president, and Dot Anderson as secretary- treasurer. The death of Pearl Wardell in December came as a shock to the class: she was well liked by her classmates because of her sunny disposition. Most of the boys went out for athletics-Johnny Green, Butch McClelland and Dutch Bowser were the bright lights on the football field. And we had two Freshman in the E Club. The next year there were only ninety Sophomores. Blame the thirteen casualties on semesters. Having a little more common sense-or at least supposed to have-we were allowed to have our own party. It was a brilliant Hallowe'en affair. We chose Butch McClelland as our class president and Edna McCollam, secretary-treasurer. Again our men proved their worth in sports: Butch McClelland was chosen as basketball captain for the coming year, and Dutch Bowser and Johnny 'Green were gridiron heroes. At the beginning of the next year, seventy-seven Juniors registered. We elected Dutch Bowser-or William E., whichever you prefer-as presidentg Clyde Cramer, vice president, and Claire Moody, secretary-treasurer. During Hallowe'en we gave a costume party for the Football Squad, which was a howling success. Fat Dempster, Greenie, Dutch and Butch were important football men again. McClelland and Lefty Morris were on the basketball varsity, and Pauline Evans and Pat Pat- terson shone on the girls' basketball team. In the spring, the annual Junior-Senior prom was given, which left us broke for the summerg though, of course, we will- ingly accepted this martyrdom, so that we might pay due respect to the outgoing Seniors. And then the last, glorious year! It's worth all the trials and tribulations- namely, semesters, and detention periods-of other years, just to be a Senior, and to have the lower classmen look at you, with awe in their voice and manner: Seventy of us came for the final year. We re-elected Dutch Bowser president, and Claire Moody, secretary-treasurer. Wes Page, Eddie Bender, Fat Dempster, Dutch Bowser, Butch McClelland and Johnny Green represented the Senior class on the football team. We entertained the Football Squad twice--at a wiener roast and a Hallowelen party. Cibo Cramer, Butch and Lefty Morris helped our basket- ball team to win many victories. The Girls' Basketball Team, with Captain Evans,
