No. just the starting placel Twenty-eight shy, blushing, awkward freshmen were placed under the care of C. E. Doust. Mrs. E. L. Hine, Miss Alspach. Miss Colville and Mr. Wiley. We walked on tip-toes to and from classes: we never giggled or talked with the upper classmen for fear of being rebuked or jeered at. We chose as our president Eleanor Gunn. At a Hallowe'en party given by the seniors, we were initiated and from that date on we have been full-fledged B. H. H. S. students. In our second year Twyla Hartley was our president. The following new teach- ers were welcomed to our school: Mr. L. S. Hadley. Miss Ebert. and Mr. R. Hack- ney. Mr. Hackney, our class sponsor. joined us in all our activities, especially that one coasting party on Winton's Hill. A junior class of eleven! Four of our girls found marriage more pleasant than school and some having failed to find any joy in school life, had sought work elsewhere. Bertha Hast was elected as our presi- dent. During this year we selected our class rings and a pennant of purple and lavender. Several of our members held positions on the Student Council and Erie Echo staff. We gave the play Aaron Slick from Pum'kin Creek. The Lake- view Hotel was the scene of the annual Junior-Senior reception. Seniors at last! A class of eight! Thomas. our only boy. was hailed as president. We were sorry that Karl Web- ber could not. due to sickness, keep up with us, One new teacher.

They have worked together through four years of strife, Making the best of every-day life. They have shared thir joys and sorrows, too, Doing their best for themselves and you. Thomas, who ranks as a basketball star, Keeps his studies up to par. The girls' choice, with his consent Made him the seniors' class president. A joyous girl is Eleanor Gunn: She keeps her boy friends on the run. She studies nearly all th night To make her French come out just right. The studious one of all this eight Is Twyla, our dear, blond classmateg She is industrious, active and bright: Everyone likes her at first sight. The tallest girl is Marge by name, As a basketball captain she won her fame. The highest ambition she has in store Is to be the world's greatest aviator. The next is Bertha, a tiny lass: She is the funniest of the class. She's very romantic, loving and kind, A smile on her face you will always find. An intended nurse is Ruby Shoop: To no man she will ever stoop. Her talents she always tries to hide, Shunning what people oft' call pride. Margaret, a demure little lass is she: Loyal and shy she will always be. Her friends are many, enemies few: You love her and she'll love you. fContinued on Page 43.j W I UL Know all men by these presents that we the class of 1928 on this Hfteenth day of May in the year of King Hammurabi, be- ing in possession of sound mind but ap- prehensive of severing all connections, spiritual and temporal, from the Berlin Township High School. without coercion or undue infiuence, bequeath all our per- sonal and worldly property as follows: I, Thomas Cucuro. bequeath my desire to go to Youngstown to any boy in high school providing he can find the attraction there that I have.

THE ERIE ECHO 3 BOYS LINE-UP Top row. left to right: John Nickols, Wesley Meyers. .Junior Phillips. Mr. Hadley, coach. Bottom row, left to right: Thomas Hine. lidward Otto, Thomas Cucuro. Ralph Greeno, Paul Wasem. The foregoing season has not been very successful for either team in the line of victories, each winning only a small per centage of the games. After all. it isn't so bad to lose when one knows good sportsmanship, although it is sometimes almost overbearing. Both teams were complimented on their clean play and hard efforts. The girls' squad suffered more defeats than the boys, losing nine of the ten games. but they kept up their spirit to the last, They are very unfortunate in losing three of their regular players, through graduation. Marjorie Robertson. Basketball who won a wide reputation as a forward. has been on the team throughout her high school course, being crowned captain in her senior year. Nancy Good, another forward, has been with the squad for two years and Twyla Hartley, guard, for just one. Although the team will be weakened by the absence of these girls. there is plenty of excellent material in the high school. which, with careful train- ing. can bring out an A-1 team. The boys started the season pretty well, but their captain, Floyd Page, was taken ill and forced to give up basketball. lt is hoped that his health will permit him to return to the team next season. Thomas Cucuro will be the only boy to be taken by graduation. As guard, he was a mighty fine player and one capable to take his place will be hard to find. They say 'practice makes perfect, so our boys are looking forward to a bright and perfect season next fall. Much credit is due the coaches, Mr. Hadley and Miss l.ersch. for their patience and encouragement. Under their instruc- tion. the old and new material of the high school combined into teams may win the basketball tournament of 1929. Who knows?
