as X e no CLASS HISTORY Herbert Hard, Class Historian HE FUTURE is full of bright prospeets for this, the best, if not the largest , elass of High Sehool History, but my duty is to reeord the past, so she , if who prophecies may tell the future. v.i'tj,.f Baek over the short span of four years, this group before you this even- 'lt ing, together with many fallen by the wayside, gathered together for the first time. We found our tear-hers eagerly awaiting to indulge in our ignorance, and they were not long finding out, as they have so often told us, This is the brightest class l have ever had. ' Miss Davis worked uneeasingly and untiringly trying to teach us as Freshies, the deelensions and eonjugations. Some went to the other three corners of the building before they finally went to the VVest for Algebra. All classes were soon 'tHook -ed on Commercial Geography and Arithmetic. As the year sped on, the Great Reaper called two of our prominent class- mates, Charlotte Jefferson and Ruth Deen. When our Freshman year ended, we had one hundred and twelve in our class. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, our class began to make history for Washington High Sehool. Our candidates were making good on the football field. On the basketball eourt they were right there, both boys and girls. In the orches- tra and Glee' Clubs we were amply represented. As our second year started, one of our most popular classmates, William Baker, was called to the Great Beyond. He was taken from our midst, but his memory will always be eherished in the hearts and minds of his classmates. lt was also in our second year that Cupid made his debut. VVe were unable to have the usual Sophomore Carnival, but we did have a pienie at Monroe Falls that will never be forgotten. VVith the ineoming number, at the end of our Sophomore year, we had one hundred and seventeen enrolled. In our Junior year our class had diminished to ninety-four. In Miss .Iester's elass of Matrimony, Cupid's darts fell fast, thus further deereasing the number in our 4-lass. . Coach Vannorsdall resigned his position to take up coaching at East High of Akron. His plaee was amply filled by Coaoh Miller who immediately met with success by turning out a South Central Ohio League Championship football team. Our class furnished some splendid material without which they could never have aeeomplished this feat. The basketball team was not as fortunate although it did win a majority of the games played. The glrl's team did not win a majority of games, although it fought hard every game and deserves a great deal of eredit. lt was at this point that Mr. Rees who had guided us thus far, resigned to take up other work. His plaee was filled by Mr. Bruner who still holds the posi- tion of superintendent. The rest of our year was an eventful one. The Junior-Senior banquet, in whiz-h we entertained the Seniors, was one of the best ever put on in the history of Washington Hlgh School. The Junior plays were greatly enjoyed by everyone who saw them. The class used four well known one-act plays: The VVeasel,'l The Ghost Story, The 24
