Senior Class History ByHe1enBaker N THE MORNING of September 8, 1911, the freshman assembled in the two rooms that were then occupied by the High School. A few weeks later the class was organized and under the leadership of Harry Dawson, as president, a new class was formed. The freshman year passed uneventfully, merely serving as a period of getting us to our work, and as a time in which acquaintances were made and friendships formed. After the class of 1915 became sophomores good fortune began to smile on this de- serving class. We had one basket ball star, Mike, a player on the team of Flying Merkles, with Mr. Fasig as coach, which was organized the year he was a freshman. Later, when Mike became asopho- more, he was transferred to the high school team. When we became juniors, we gained the reputation of being the most alive, the most active, the most independent, the most jolly, the most brilliant and the most original of any class yet enrolled in the Wayne High. When the nineteen fifteens became seniors, the class was increased by Wardner and Beryl Swartz, making it number fourteen. In coming back to school, we were sorry not to see Mr. Lusk, who had become a teacher in the Wapakoneta High, present, but were glad to get back our old freshman teacher, Mr. Fasig. Sorry to say we have only four boys in the class, but these boys have the wisdom of Solomon. f'Heck Dawson was as yet its acknowledged head and leader and whose judgement and influence covered such topics as sports, morals, good behavior and girls. Hover Taylor still hopes to be a preacher, but some think he would make a better farmer. Wardner Swartz is the class artist. Mike Butcher is the business manager and sorry to say, has won the affection' of one of the class. Irma Douglas has also been struck with Cupid's arrow and from all appearances, it has proved fatal. Edna Rapp is the poet laureate of the class of '15, Mabel Gilmer and Abigail Taylor, the long and short of the class, will be remembered by their motherly advice to the other members of the class. Beryl, although she has been with us only one year, has distinguished herself by the beautiful love stories of Aeneas and Dido. Beck, not the brightest in her classes, although she has made fairly good grades, shines when the teachers are not looking, causing much merriment for the rest of the pupils. Marg is usually successful in humbugging the teachers and is assistant Latin teacher. Lurene Horn is quite fond of ponies-being a Latin student-and interested in the normal department, especially one. Last and shall we say least, Erma Dale? Yes, for we fear she is not very energetic. Through this year we have gone flying but well represented in every branch of school life and we hope to be intensely something and a class of which the old Wayne High need never be ashamed. page seventee
