SENIOR N U M B E R i: Class History TREVA ROBISHAW N THE simimil of Ml. Act mi the Goddess of History was diligently working. The Goddess, over-worked on account of the war in Europe, finally became so tired she fell asleep. The imp Curiosity coining along, wondering what the Goddess had been writing about, climbed up to see, and this is what she read: CLASS OF 191.1. ASHTABULA HIGH SCHOOL In Hill a great host of trembling Freshmen entered A. II. S. As was the usual custom, the teachers had considerable trouble directing their young charges to their proper places. This was difficult because this was the largest class that ever entered A. II. S. and because the class had to he divided among various rooms. In a few days, though, the Freshmen became accustomed to high school ways and lost their frightened look. Affairs went rather smoothly until examination time, then many dropped by the way-side. They organized literary societies and had very good programs—for Freshmen. Their one social event of the year was a sleigh ride. Although they were not permitted to go outside the city limits and had to he in at ! o’clock, yet it was a sleigh ride. As they entered the Sophomore year, their ranks were somewhat depleted. Some knew enough already, and some liked being Freshmen so well they decided to remain as such another year. Between Freshmen and Sophomores was a great step. This year they were permitted to organize. They elected Fred Thorpe president. They selected yellow and white for class colors, with the daisy as class flower. This year they were also permitted to have a Hallowe'en party. The C., P. A. carried them to the home of Zelma Glenn, where they thoroughly enjoyed the evening. They began their Junior year by electing Murray Cook president. The most notable feature of the year was the Junior-Senior reception (acknowledged to he the best ever), at which the good will of the Seniors was fully gained. On Hallowe’en, two hayrack loads of Juniors slowly traveled through the deep mud to Gamp Wah-peton. After eating apples and doughnuts and drinking cider they slowly returned as the night was half way through its course. Later in the year some of the Juniors went in a hob to the home of Murray Cook, where a very enjoyable evening was spent. Their Senior year has been a very eventful one. In the first place, they are by far the largest class that has ever been graduated from A. H. S. They are also the last class to have to be so crowded in the old high school. Fred Thorpe was again eleeted president. The boys organized a Junior Chamber of Commerce which met Friday noons in the Domestic Science Building. Of course, the girls could not be outdone by the boys so they organized the Clvtean Club. Meetings have been held every three weeks during the year. At Christmas time a parly and taffy-pull was held in the Domestic Science Building. Needless to say, all those present enjoyed a very-pleasant evening. At one meeting of the club the girls decided to have simplicity the keynote of their commencement. The idea of cutting down excessive expense was commended by the school board, faculty and the public in general. Before a packed house the Senior class presented The College Widow. This was well received and declared to be the best Senior play ever given. The class of ’L” celebrated Hallowe’en at the home of Olive and Beth Wilkcrson, where they were delightfully entertained. When the thermometer registered several degrees below zero, a bob load of Seniors rode forth to the home of Gretchen Hollister. There they were given a very hearty welcome. After playing many games and being served to an excellent oyster supper, they bade their hostess adieu. No one regretted having braved the cold weather. Besides these things throughout the four years’ course, the class has been well represented in athletics and debate. The class has also had a large number on the honor roll. It is the lirst class to have eleven above ninety for the four y ears’ course. The last event before commencement was the Junior-Senior Reception, where they were entertained in a splendid manner by the Juniors. They— Here the Goddess awoke and closed the book, much provoked at the impudence of Curiosity. Bockahye senior in the tree top. As long as you study the cradle will rock. But if you stop grinding the cradle will fall. And down will come senior, diploma and all. ☆ ☆ ☆ Cook — What did you get that bronze medal for? McGarry—“For singing.’’ Cook—“What did you gel the gold one for ?’’ McGarry—“For quitting. Laugh and tin world laughs with you. Laugh and you laugh alone— First when the joke is the teacher’s. Second, when the joke is your own.
