HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS, ’08 When this famous Class first entered the doors of Ashtabula High School, a new era began for that institution. It would take volumes to write the illustrious history of these “Forty Immortals. Space only allows us to relate their achievements in a most summarizing manner. Altho the Class had no sjiecial wonders in the athletic line, they certainly did show them when it came to intellect. In tlieir second year, they originated the Sophomore Annual Dance, which has since been considered one of the social events of the year. In the beginning of the Junior year a holiday was obtained, which the Class spent in the woods. Their oratorical contestant. Guilford Kingsbury, was elected by a large majority, and well he might Ik , for he carried off the first prize and gained the laurels for A. II. S. In the same year the dramatic ability of the Class was exhibited in the Washington Birthday entertainment, the proceeds of which liought several lK autiful pictures to adorn the school-room walls. They again showed entertaining powers in the Junior-Senior reception, which surpassed all previous ones. Their Senior year has lieen one succession of triumphs and successes. About the first thing they did was to substitute an artistic A. H. S. pin for the old and time-worn one. Their candidate, Walter Beck, defeated the Junior nominee for the oratorical contest, and if he fails to win it will not be his fault. This Class again displayed their histrionic talents by the remarkable presentation of the play “All on Account of Professor.” Many of the best critics pronounced it far sujjcrior to any college theatricals. But perhaps the most remarkable stunt accomplished by this most remarkable Class was to found an “Annual, the need of which had long liecn felt in A. 11. S. May the Class of ’08 ever Ik remembered with honor, as inaugurating this publication, and may this volume Ik but the first of many to be issued in the following years. CLASS ROLL Mary Barnes—“What will Mrs. Grundy say? Clayton Berry—“I love to wind my mouth up; I love to hear it go. Leslie Lockwood—“A life on the ocean wave, A home on the rolling deep.” Tracy Wright—“ Tis said he once was tall. Clarence Wejsell—“He has a solid base of temperament. Ploomif. Rogers—“There’s allays two ’pinions. There’s the 'pinion a man has on hissen, and there’s the 'pinion other folks has on him.” 14
