Elle tae Kaassi Class Histor One day as I was sitting by the Hre reading I fell to dreaming. Oh, how I wished I was back in good old C. H. S. We had such good times and I wonder if I can think of all the things that we did during the four years of high school life? I asked myself. I can remember of ten that started together in the first grade and finished high school together. When we entered high school together we had fortyfone in our class. I remember clearly when we entered the study hall amid much cheering and clapping which made us feel very proud. About the first thing we did was to elect officers. Howard Fulton was chosen to lead the group through the Hrst year. Old Rose and Silver were chosen as our class colors. In athletics we were represented by Everett Miracle, Donald Stutzman, Howard Fulton, Kathryn Benjamin and Martha Repp. We got through the Hrst year success' fully due to the great help of our advisor, Miss Alsclorf. In our Sophomore year Howard Fulton was again chosen as President, and Mrs. Mcllvaine proved a capable advisor. In basketball we were represented by the same ones in addition to Elmer Johnson, Milton Metz, Russell Rhodes, Harold Longfellow, Glenn Maideii, and Gail Long. In baseball Everett, Donald, and Robert. Howard, Robert, George and I represented our class in the orchestra. Another summer passed very quickly and we went back to school as juniors with seats between the Sophomores and Seniors. Everett was elected president, Kathryn, vice president, Chlora, treasurer, and myself secretary. The same ones that represented us as Sophomores in basketball represented us as Juniors, with the exception of the girls. Many events happened in this year. We had the opportunity to publish the Monday Blues, the high school paper. We were the lirst to use the new mimeograph, a great help in our work. We gave the play, The Two Brides, and it was a success. Then in May we gave the Seniors a banquet at the Darby .Ioan Tea Room at Leroy. That closed our third year in high school. Mrs. Mcllvaine was again our helpful advisor. As another year began we realized we had many responsibilities. The greatest one was setting examples for the younger children and did we? I guess we did. We elected officers and Everett was president, I was vice president, Mildred Snyder, treasf urcr, and Eleanor Giffen, secretary. In November we gave our play, Sound Your Horn, to two large and appreciative audiences. The same people represented us in basketball and music. There were also quite a few from our class in the glee club. Those in the orchestra and in the glee club took part in the all Wayne County Musif calc at Wooster. Lillian Kirschner was given third place in the County Declamation Contest. liPage 'Twenty-lhrecl

'annum 'Q1f.lMraM aaM! .. Vvfhen I had recovered from this shock I was ready to read on. Glancing over the next page I saw that Arlene Carhaugh would lwecome a nurse. So Arlene's dream was to come true. But I found a surprise for her too. She would marry a well known phyf sician and live happily for the rest of her life. Lillian Kirschner would travel on the RKO circuit as a concert pianist. She would marry a well known orchestra leader and when not making tours, they will live in New York. Mildred Snyder, after graduating from a well known college would hecome an English teacher in Creston High School. Turning the page I found that her pal, Eleanor Giffen, was to teach music in the Wiicmster Conservatory of Music. She would never marry as she would prefer a mus- ical career. The next name to catch my eye was Milton Metz's. I found that Milton would he a very successful farmer and would live near Creston. Of course he would he happily married. l turned the page and found, to my surprise and amusement, that Glenn Hartzler was to he an aviator, known the world over for his daring feats. He would he known as Ace Hartzler. I also found that Howard Fulton, the parachute jumper, would work with him and they would go about the country supplying thrills for the people. Glenn it seemed would he married several times, heing quite a lady's man, hut Howard, the more steady type, would remain faithful to his high school romance. Reading on l found that Rolwert Myers, well known auto racer, known as 'LSpeedy Myers, would set a new speed record for Ford cars and make a name for himself in the Halls of Fame. Freeda Edington, a Metropolitan Opera singer, would make a tour over the United States. Freeda would marry in her later years and retire from puhlie life. On the next page I found that Austin Ehie would puhlish a new series of jesse james hooks complete in ten volumes, and that Kathryn would he a stenographer. La Vonne Steele would he married soon after graduation and settle in Cuyahoga Falls. Oh yes! and George Hoffman would he a radio announcer, Graham McNamee's most dangerous competitor. Of course George would marry and settle in New York. And myself? I was very glad to find that I would he a shorthand and typing teacher in good old Alma Mater. I looked from my hook and quickly glanced at my watch. Four o'clockl and I had been reading all afternoon and still no hook report. CnLoR.1x CLAPP. lPage Twentyftwol
