SENIOR CLASS HISTORY liy EDNA SCOVILLE. 09 The year of 1909 ! Ho» Ions w© have waited for this year of year At la t It hag arrived, and wo. oven prouder than we expected to be. are ready to leave thin aeon© of many IriumpIiH Our history. beginning with the year 15 05 and ending with l?09. la a very good and Interesting one We all can remember that June inorninK when accompanied by Mr. Crate, wo marched from the IM-vision 81 root School to the a» cmbl room of the Ashtabula High School and received the seat assigned 08. How glad wo were to think wo would now be enrolled with the Student of that renowned Institution It I needless to tell of our capabilities as Freshmen, and of the teachers who looked upon us favorably. This year passed on wonderfully. and the first exams My ! how wo did surprise the faculty. The Rood tiroes In the assembly room nr never to be forgotten, especially when we were daily labored with concerning the amount of whispering among the Freshmen during the study hour . In the course of this year three of our member entered the matrimonial ranks September. 190$. found us enrolled ag the sedate Sophomores. We had all longed for the time when we should not longer Ik- called •• Freshle But we did not smile at the present Freshlea, Oh. no for we had decided to do unto other a we would have others do unto us. This year wo gave a great Sophomore Annnal at Haskell's Hall, to which all of our noble colleague were Invited. Rathualaa-tleally they responded to our Invitation The affair proved to be a grand success, ns nil of our undertaking have been. Wo thought, of course, that this party would b© followed by others In the coming years and that we bad set a good example But the next class did not follow our lend for several obvious reasons. The year 1909 came nround too soon. When we were Jolly Juniors. we entertained the class of 1908 they never before had been entertained. The Junior-Senior reception was one never to Ik- forgotten. Soon we wore to take our place as Seniors of A. H. 8. ami be held up as example to the lower classes. How we bad looked forward to this during our whole three years of High School training ! Hut now. having attained this noblo position. 1 am sure we feel little different except somewhat older and wiser than when we entered the ranks of A. H S. three years ago We could not abandon our position as Juniors without a second memorable event, so an excursion to (!©neva-on-lhe-l.ak© was planned Altho we had two breakdowns before we started, which is nothing unusual for tho class of 1999. we had a very enjoyable time. Surely we cannot forget our singing in chapel in our Junior year. It certainly was a credit to A. II. S. If anyone had visited our class during this period I am sure he would have run dismayed away. Now In this year of 1909. we are to leave the doors of A H. S. forever. How melancholy that word sounds! But we know iho class of 1910 will prove to be a Illustrious Seniors as we have been. Our Senior year ha been the most eventful one in our history. A Senior we started the publication of n High School paper known as The l art. which achievement we hop© will serve as a precodent for succeeding classes. We rank high In Theatricals and Athletics Our Senior play was so well appreciated that the manager of the theater wished u to repeat It. In tho Athletic line wo furnish the best of material Of the present basket ball team four of Its member are Seniors, and we also do more than our share for the track, football and has© twill teams. For the Oratorical contest our class furnished the candidate who was elected by an overwhelming majority over the Junior candidate. Every two weeks we have held Senior parties which were much enjoyed by the class In general. But further comment 1 useless, for “Actions speak louder than words. We are sure that the present Juniors will follow our footsteps. and will fill the place of Seniors a well and as capably aa the class of 1999 has done.

SENIOR CLASS POEM Uv WILL R. DALEY. 09 On Ihe green. picturesque Lake Krle shore. Where Ihe wave roll on with oonMnm roar. Wan once n wilderness dreary and dark. Which nerved lo men hut a a land mark. VI. We’ve had to struggle very hard And often ha our path emod barred: But by perslatance we’ve made our way. And worked right on from day to day. II. On ihe southern shore of this beautiful lake. HI home a pioneer did make. And lived alone In thnt cheerio place.— Alone, but for those of Indian race. VII. To us the course was hard and new And many a time have we fell blue; Class spirit made u struggle on. And after all Ihe work I done HI. Soon others came and made their home In this wild place 'till ll had grown; Then after a hard and weary fight. A dly was built on this present site. VIII. Not alone in studies did we iry. But wo also held the standard high Of the school In our athletic meet . And we itcrforincd most wondrous feats. IV. Now our High School stands near that Inke of lake . And we are proud of the rank It takes Among the school throughout ihe stale. When1 ‘ll now held to be up to date. IX. And now onr lank is n I most done. We've passed the barriers one by one; And at the closing of the year. At last we win wjlh many a cheer. V. Then swiftly on the year did pas I’nttl there game an Illustrious class; We entered then In nineteen-five And valiantly we’ve had to strive. (21) X. We set np our standard the very first day And we have held to It In every way; But now hnvlng won In our school strife. We must set up another to go thru life.
