CTALISLMAN C1055 History ,Q OUR years ago we began our high school days at York as Freshmen. We were the first freshmen class to enter this high school. We choose Mr. Reese as our sponsor, Pearl Galloway, president, Rubye Galloway, vice- Q ' president, Hazel Lloyd, secretary and treasurer. When we started we were 1 a class of twenty-five members, but during the year we lost one of our mem- bers, Flora Roller, on account of sickness. The next year we entered school as sophomores and found that seven of our class- mates were absent, Gerald Harp, Nelson Hirsh, Mildred Davis, Glydon Davis, Orren Welker, Abner Breese and Lester Hughes, and that five new members had been added ,: Oressa Stetler, Thurma Davis, Kenneth Davis, Marian Williams and Dilys Jones. We were glad to welcome these new members into our class. This year we had Mr. Hansen for our sponsor, Hazel Lloyd, president, Kenneth Davis- vice- presidentg Dilys jones, secretary, Gomer Breese, treasurer. During the year we lost three more members who went to other schools, Gladys Eller, who is graduating from Ridge this year, Lavern Jones, who is graduating from Columbus,-'and Mildred Dibert, who is graduating from Van Wert. This year the girls' basketball team that played Van Wert was composed altogether of girls from our sophomore class. The next year we were promoted to Juniors. When we started we noticed that our classmate, Pauline Remagin, was absent. She spent that year in Lima. This year greater tasks were put before us and we were able to accomplish themnthrough' the aid of our sponsor, Mr, Adam, who gave much of his time and talent freely. The leaders of our class were Oressa Stetler, president, Kenneth Davis, vice-presi- dent 5 Edmond Davis, secretary, Emmett jones, treasurer. We were able to give our first class play, It's Turrible to Be Popular. successfully. As honors for bas- ketball, eight letters and nine stripes were given to players in our junior Class. The Van Wert county boys' solo was won by Kenneth Davis for two years. 'The leaders of the chorus for the last two years were Edna jones and Dilys Jones, both members of our class. This year when we began our work as Seniors three more of' our classmates were absent, Marcile Couts, Owen Evans and Oressa Stetler, but Pauline Remagen came back to finish her high school days at York. This year we chose Mr. Hickman as our sponsor. We sincerely appreciate the interest he has shown in the work of the class. We had as president, Kenneth Davis, vice-president, Dilys Jonesgfsecretary, Hazel Lloyd, treasurer, Edna jones: In our senior year we staged the play, Aaron Boggs. One event not to be forgotten soon was the theatre party at Lima, given to the Seniors by' Mrs. Turner, our English teacher. We saw Robert Mantell in As You Like It. The girls of our class were the 'winners of the inter-class bas- ketball tournament. Hazel Lloyd has been the pianist for the high school chorus for four years and all members of the class are included in the high school chorus. Now as we leave York, we, as a class, sincerely thank the teachers who have so kindly assisted us in our four years of high school. We are sure that in the years to come We will think of them often and recall the many happy days spent at York. M. E. 14

TAILISMAN 47726 Yet to fe Did you ever hear of the Yet-to-Be, The wonderful country of Yet-to-Be, VVhere is the country? How do you go? Listen dear ones and you shall know. You go on a road that is winding and long, And as you go you must conquer the wrong. For whatever you are and whatever you'1l be Will depend on the way that you hear and see. In that beautiful garden of Yet-to-Be, Many are the things that you hear and see. First we see in a room that is snowy white Rubye, a nurse, like an angel of light. Then there is Ken, in an artist's pose VVith his paints and his easel and beside him a rose As we look more closely, we are glad to know It is Pearl, our Pearl of long ago. But to proceed, on a diamond of fame Two sportsmen we see, Dave and Emmett by name Emmett has just pitched a ball sure and sound While David as usual is hurrying around. Our scene now shifts to the white house so grand, In a chair is Gomer, a stenographer at hand She proves to be Hazel, who to his delight Is an excellent secretary. and always just right. Our vision now changes to an opera of state Behold Pauline Remagen and Edna. her mate. Pauline is charming her hearers as of old And Edna is singing with a voice as of gold. And now do I see. in a small seat of learning Two maidens, who slowly the pages are turning They are Helen and Myrtle. so dear and so kind In the love of their pupils a joy do they find. Way off in a collegeg Vassar by name Dilys and Thurma are gaining much fame They are teaching the girls to play fair and right And win in life's battle by honor, not might. Last but not least comes the coach of old Yale Johnnie L., whose motto was. Never say fail For no one can beat him, his team is the best With Johnnie and Vale, there's no chance for the rest. Yes we've traveled that land of Yet-to-Be And many nice things did we hear and see We hope they'll come true in fact, and in mind, Be life to us sweet. and fate to us kind. DILvs JONES 15
