VI EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, MAY l9l5 No. 6 The Farm in the Hills BOUT ten miles from the village of Verdune, almost on the bound- ary line of Germany and France, there nestled a small farm among the hills. The sun, rising in the east, shone upon the green fruit 'T' of the vineyard and the earth turned for the first time. It was land recently purchased from a wealthy German who was disposing of his belongings in preparation for a trip to his native country. It had been purchased by an old man with his wife and two children, in the h-ope of making their living-a family that showed the signs of poverty-their only means of paying for the farm being in the proceeds of their first products. The cranky old German, however, was already becoming insistent in the demands for his money and soon threatened to throw them out of house and home. Their only hope of retaining the land lay in their son Pierre, at that time in the French army. If he could get the much needed money they were saved, if not they would be thrown out into the world penniless, and without protection from the elements. One night they wrote Pierre a long letter and told him of the sit- uation. When he received the letter his army lay before the town of Malstadt in Southern Germany. Pursued by a huge German army, they were driven upon a wide plain, flanked by a lofty ridge on either side. To reach safety meant the fall of Malstadt, and already preparations were being made for a desperate struggle. Unable to sleep, Pierre sat at the door of his tent with the letter in his hand and as the guards walked to and fro his mind turned back to the little farm among the hills and tears filled his eyes. How could he get the money? Where was he to find so much? Numerous plans flitted through his brain, only to be discarded, and while thus pondering the light of a new day burst upon the city of tents, revealing a scene of orderly c-onfusion. While eating his breakfast an orderly approached Pierre and in- formed him that the commander wished to see him. Pierre, astonished and wondering. followed him to headquarters. As he entered the tent he saw seated at the table his commander and around him his staff. Before him lay some newly opened despatches. He saluted and approached the a e. The general, gazing at him with measuring eyes, thus spoke: My boy, it lies in your power to save us. You have been selected on account of your remarkable courage and presence of mind in battle to undertake a hazardous commission. Before us lies Malstadt and safety, behind us lies destruction in the form of two vast armies. which, when united, will practically annihilate us. Our spies have learned that orders will be sent 10 KERAMOS tonight from the enemy on our left to their allies on the right as to the time and place of their union. We believe that these orders will be delivered at the Marsans mansion, eight miles West from here, on the Mayan road. If they are intercepted the union will be delayed so long as to enable us to capture the city before us and reach our main army. Will you get those despatches ? The focus of all eyes, Pierre stood before the table trembling as he realized the vast importance of the undertaking. In his power lay their safety, the lives of all these men. Would he thus risk his life? Then he thought of his poor mother and father relying on his help, and a mighty struggle between duty and love of his parents took place within him. The officers saw the passing emotions upon his face but guessed not as to their cause. The struggle was brief. With trembling accents Pierre thanked the general for his confidence and accepted the commission. He then retired to his tent and awaited the coming night. When dusk arrived he silently departed with five comrades and was soon lost to view in the surrounding gloom. At about midnight they arrived at the Mayan road and they sat and rested. While speaking to one of his comrades Pierre heard the hollow sound of hoofs along the road. Wondering who this could be, he stationed his men on each side of the road and as the rider came upon them one of them seized his horse while others dragged him from the animal and relieved him of all weapons. As the prisoner lay on the ground uncon- sci-ous after his fall, before a small fire, one of the soldiers, with the evi-- dent intention of getting rid of him, raised a heavy cudgel and would have brained him but for Pierre, who, coming up behind him, struck the weapon from his hand and knocked him away from the prisoner, repri- manding him severely for his rash act. It being now past midnight, Pierre ordered his men to get ready to move. They did as ordered, leaving the pris-oner where he had lain seem- ingly dead to the world. But when they returned with their horses, to the astonishment and bewilderment of all, not a trace of him remained. Pierre was much mortified at his careless act, leaving an unsearched prisoner, untied and unguarded. However, having no time to waste, they hastened to the Marsans mansions and arrived on the grounds about half an hour later. While carefully reconnoitering near the house, one of the men knocked over a pot of plants on the porch, which, rolling to the bottom of the steps, made such a noise as to be heard throughout the house. Suddenly a shot rang out behind them, forms appeared at the win- dows, and seeing the fleeing company, fired upon them with charge after charge. Pierre and his men, dazed by the sudden flash of the guns, groped blindly through the dark. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through Pierre's shoulder, his mind became blank and he fell to the ground. When he awoke it was day. He was lying in a snowy bed beside which sat a young lady, who seemed very pretty to Pierre. From her he learned the events of the awful night before. The next day when the pain had left his shoulder and he was feeling better, she told him that she was the German leader's daughter and also that she was the lone rider whose life he had saved two nights before. Pierre was so astonished he could hardly speak. Then you bore the despatches to your father '? And he thought 4l.1.14 KERAMOS 11 with sorrow of the army waiting for him in vain. Yes, she replied, but too late. Malstadt surrendered the next day and your men are safe? Pierre thought of the fight in the dark. And was anyone shot that night ? he anxiously inquired. a Your men escaped, but one of our company, Mr. Herrburg, was killed. He was a wealthy German traveling North, who had joined our party till he could secure a safe passage to his destination. As Pierre heard the name he rose on his elbow and was strangely agitated. Mr. Herrburg! he exclaimed. Why that is the man who owns our farm in the hills. Marie, puzzled by his strange actions, asked him what he meant. Pierre explained everything. When she had heard his story she hurried out of the room, with a smile of joy on her face. I When she returned her father accompanied her. My boy, said he, you have saved my daughter's life, for which I shall ever be indebted to you. She has told me the whole story. And concerning your relations with Mr. Herrburg, I am glad to say that I am in a position to present you with a reward which will be most acceptable to you. With these words he handed Pierre some small, officious looking documents, which when opened proved to be the deeds to his farm. Pierre thanked him from the bottom of his heart and wrote the joyful news to his parents. After this he got well very quick and was soon able to travel. About a month later he departed for home, with the expectation of returning soon and claiming Marie as his bride, for their friendship had ripened into love in the short period of his sickness. -Wise, '15 +9f9Q?f9f9 NNN XS' ONWARD FIFTEEN!

EAR READER Stop a moment, shake hands and let's renew acquaintance. What! Yoi don't recognize us? Well 'that is not so queer. This dignified, studious, hardy bunch does not much resemble that trembling army which just four years ago invaded the portals of E. L. H. S. But come, let's go back and see what has brought about this marvelous change. The Keramos has obtained the calendar given below, which may throw some light upon the mystery. Let us carefully follow the development. Sept. 4, 1911-My don't you remember that first day? S-ome came with their mammas and some came with their papas, but all came with their last year's report cards securely tucked away out of sight. Trem- bling and fearing the laugh of the Sophs we entered the High School, the High School which had been our goal for eight struggling years. Now we would realize our aims, our ideals! Surely now we were men and women. Oh what a welcome sight Mother Hallock was as she stood there at the foot of the stairs and directed us where to go. QI can't see how she always knew which were Freshmenj Well do we remember those kind words of Miss Ikirt in her first ibut by no means the lastj lecture on Advice to -Freshmen. Sept. 5, 1911-Work had begun. We Freshmen submissively and becomingly kept to our own end of the hall. But yet it was so confusing. You couldn't blame Sal Smith when she went to algebra class instead of to Latin and several commercial students thought they could take arithmetic in Room 13 just as conveniently as in Room 2. Oct. 3-Down to work in earnest. Freshmen getting lost in ancient history. Oct. 29-Freshmen covered themselves with glory, yes, and pride, too. Our minstrel show in the athletic X sure took the cake. Who would have thought Ed Furguson and Harland Riker would star so on the stage. It was rumored that the other classes CSophs especiallyj were jealous because we made more money than they did, but perish the thought! Nov. 4-Rather late for hazing, wasn't it, Sophs? And why did you pick on such a small lad as Leslie Jameson? You should have at least gone outside of the building. You might have known the dark basement room was too near the janitor's room. Nov. 21-Extracts from curtain lectures: Miss Ikirt: I don't like the attitude of the study class. Miss McDole: Anything I can do for you ? Mrs. McCulloch: Miss or Mr. as the case might be you cannot cross the bridge without paying toll. Now change that sign before you transpose. Mr. Kennedy: If there weren't football practice tonight I would keep you fellows after school. Dec. 12-After much consideration we elected our class officers. Harland Riker, our worthy president, and Geraldine Ikirt. our dutiful secretary. Appropriate couple considering the case. Dec. 23-Again we covered ourselves with glory. Our Xmas program .0 . ,.

Jan. 3-Back again and to sure enough work. Those familiar back seats were all tacked with a For Rent sign. Our numbers have visibly decreased. High School was not all it was cracked up to be when it came to quadratic equations. Jan. 26-Nothing doing except hard work and cramming for tests. Feb. 7-Freshmen appropriately celebrate one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Charles Dickens. Feb. 15-Miss Ikirt back again after one monthls absence. We liked the Ikirt specimens who substituted but nothing like the original. Feb. 26-The globe of the world broken! But don't ask Paul Reed about it for it recalls pleasant memories. April 11-Mr. Kennedy took the class out botanizing. Of course Min had to cause a commotion by falling down the hill. Tuff luck, Min. April 18-Again we went botanizing. Somehow Lloyd Thoms and Ruth Shaw got lost from the crowd, but why the embarrassment when Mr. Kennedy asked how you got home, Lloyd? , May 2-Every person felt poky except the teachers and nothing slow CCONTINUED ON PAGE 243 KERAMOS I FAMOUS ORATORS. ID you ever see such gestures for Fm amateurs? The one on the right will stop nothing short of the presidency, while who can say what might become of the other?

Y but that fellow must have an awful temper to be muzzled that way, said a vis- vg itor who could not have been very observ- ing of facial features, for the happy smile and merry twinkle in the eyes were pleasant in spite of the said muzzle. Oh, no, one of the students replied. That is Jim Hassel, the best- natured person in the building. He is always smiling and seldom frowns. But why the muz- z1e?

Where are the Freshmen now? They're safe in the Soph. class. 1912-13. Sept. 1912--The Sophomore year of our High School career was very different from that of our Freshmen year. Every one found themselves much worried over their work. The mirth of the once Freshmen class had changed to that of seriousness. Many were missing from our ranks having only lasted through part of our Freshman year. Out of the one hundred and twenty-nine Fresh- men their were only eighty-five who had successfully entered the Sopho- more. School started the same as usual and the regular course of studies were pursued within a few days. Oct. 1912-Marie Crable, one of our former classmates, was married to John Russell, who was employed in the Huebner-Webber Drug Co. Paul Schreiber realized the sports of Hallowe'en when the Freshmen took him to the watering trough by the fire station and gave him a bath. Schreiber was hurt because they did not give towels with their baths. Nov. 1912-The program at Thanksgiving was the first time the Sophomores were admitted to chapel. Many of our class gave pleasing selections in both a musical and literary way. Dec. 1912-Miss Shigley believes in training her English classes to appreciate real elocution, so she recited the poem The Bells. O! those Bells. Those Bells. We were admitted to chapel exercises at Christmas time. We were surprised to hear that our Latin teacher and one of our great friends, Miss Stewart, had accepted a position elsewhere and that this was to be her last day in E. L. H. S. This seemed to sadden everyone, but we had to make the best of it, we were thinking of that joyous Christmas vaca- tion which was before us. Jan. 1913-This was the beginning of a new year and every one came back to school with the determination to do better work and many other New Year's resolutions. When we arrived we were welcomed by a new member of the faculty, Miss Ashton, who had came to fill the vacancy made by Miss Stewart's departure. Every one was cramming for the mid-winter examinations and at last they came. Every one was discouraged until the results came, then they were happy. Feb. 1913-Valentine day. We did have a valentine box. Most certainly. We wouldn't have been Sophomores if we didn't for they must always amuse themselves in some way. A Mar. 1913-Every one was surprised when they found that we had a real orator in ouruclass. Bill Scott was on the program on Friday morning in literary with a nice long speech prepared especially for the occasion, all about everything and not much of anything. Wellq he started, but his throat seemed a little dry, se he just reached down on his desk, pulled forth a glass of water from somewhere, no one knows KERAMOS 25 where, and drank it without hesitation. April, 1913-That joyous spring vacation and oh how every one did enjoy it. The weather was fine and many took advantage of the weather and spent their time at the park practicing for the county field meet. May, 1913-Everyone was preparing for the close of school and the final exams. The end finally came one fine day in May and all rejoiced. ,gg .af,w-g. 1913-14. Sept. 3-A bright, happy bunch entered the High School to begin their Junior year. There were seventy-seven of us when we started. Sept. 25-Edith Johnston entertained the class at her home on the Y. Sz O. Miss Grant and Mrs. McCulloch chaperoned the bunch and we had a good time as we always have when we go to Johnston's. Oct. 25--Helen Hoag withdrew from school for six weeks and went to Oklahoma with her parents. We missed her and were very glad when her smiling face appeared again in High School. ' Nov. 7-Our football team played the best game of the season when they defeated the Sophomores. We were very proud of our team, for with one exception they had won every game of the season. Nov. 14-The girls gave a feed for the boys of our football team, because they had won the game a week previous. The affair took place at the home of Mary Scott on Vine street. Miss Updegraff and all the Junior teachers were there and we had one peach of a time. Nov. 15-Our class president, Frederick Wassman, accidentally shot and killed himself while hunting. He was also president of the Junior Literary Society and played in the High School orchestra. We never appreciated Fred so much or never knew how much he meant to us until he was gone. Although it has been more than a year since his death, his influence still lives. Dec. 18-Miss Shigley, instructor in English, resigned her position to accept a better one. We missed her a great deal, but her place was filled by Miss Louise Stitt. Jan. 18-We had noticed the sign F. I. B. written in various places over the school building and were all wondering what it meant. But one night Mr. Elliott found a bunch of the fellows in the fresh air room initiating one of the Junior boys, and then of course it broke up. The boys say it meant False I. Brows, but we never did find out the real meaning. Mar. 8-The Senior Literary Society became tired of three of its members and so they came over to us. Of course we always welcomed visitors, but as we were very generous, insisted that they should have some part in our program. Bill Forney sang for us one morning, but the others were too bashful to perform. April 9-Mr. Watson, civics instructor, took all his classes down to city Hall. However, we all escaped. Mayor Schrieber kindly conducted us through the famous building and told us several different things about law, etc. After that visit we all decided that we Wouldn't like to change our present abode for that of the City Hall. QCONTINUED ON PAGE 283 26 K E R A M 0 S MISS FLORENCE UPDEGRAFF, PRINCIPAL. Miss Florence Updegraff, better known to students and teachers as Miss Flo, is one of the many to whom much credit is due for the success of the class of '15, From the time we were Freshies to the pres- ent time, she has Watched over us and guided us in the right path. She has always had the interest and the bet- terment of the class of '15 at heart and this was one of the agents of our success. She has been to us a mother, scolding and correcting us when we needed it Cwhich was many timesb and praising us when we de- served it. She is a staunch supporter of athletics and could be seen at nearly every game rooting for the boys that represented the E. L. H. S. In fact she was heartily in favor of every- thing that tended to the glory of dear East Liverpool High School. There are very few people that could take her place as principal and as ably fill the position as she. There is a warm spot in every heart of every student for her, even though she does discipline them at times, which is an essential to the success of any class. So when we leave this High School each and every one of us will say that she has steered the ship called High School Lifenelegantly and has landed us on the shore safely. 4vis?'-?QNWf555?4ffQY5'6'QY5TQ5QfN? MISS ASHTON. l Here's to Miss Ashton, who has ever been a friend of the Senior class. Her pleasing and sym- pathizing nature has won for her many friends. She simply cannot endure her pupils to talk while she is busy, and if you will recall the Seniors have always been mindful of this and have strained every effort to guard against any infraction of her rule. V1 , KERAMOS 27 MISS HALLOCK. She, who has been the friend of Seniors and Freshmen alike, who has helped us with Cicero and with Caesar, impartial to all, is going to leave us. The one who at all times has been ready to work for anything of interest to E. L. H. S. is forsaking our sacred portals for nothing but a man. But since he is an AB., a. D.D., and a L.L.D. possibly she will not suffer so much by the change. She probably will be benefited by the change but it will be a sad loss for the High School to be de- prived of such an excellent chem- istry instructor and of such a pleasant companion. ras gag rs,-Xa 5 MISS WO0DWARDg UNSERE LIEBE DEUTSCHE LEHRERIA. Among the most pleasant memories which the Seniors will take away with them on June 4th will be the memory and appreciation of the many pleasant associations with Miss Woodward. Her cheerful disposition, gar- nished with tlashes now and then from her ever bright eyes, has turned many an other- wise dry lesson or study hour into a real pleasure. Of course there was never a grad- uating class that did not have a few favor- ities about the school whom they wished they might take away with them but were forced to leave behind for another class to enjoy. This is the case with the Seniors. We would like to take Miss Woodward with us but we must leave her for sixteen and seventeen to enjoy her companionship. It surely may be well said of Miss Wood- ward that to know her is to love her. Miss Woodward, we will not soon forget you. 28 KERAMOS April 11-Mrs. McCulloch, instructor in Freshman algebra, left us to become the bride of J. A. Trotter. We missed her jolly smiling face, but of course she is still in town and we get to see her quite often. April 15--The Junior Literary Society held its Arbor Day program in the morning. The principal speech was made by Butch McBane, who surprised us all by telling us that Johnny Appleseed lived in the same county as his father. April 20-Mr. Watson promised 5 per cent extra on each monthly grade of those who would attend a council meeting. Of course that looked easy and most of us went in for it. We had a lot of fun out of it, besides the benefit which we received from it. May 4--Mr. Elliott took us down to the Bell Telephone office, so that we might learn a little more about the telephone. When we went through the hello girls' room, Mr. Elliott asked a couple of the fellows to wait outside as they couldn't be trusted. May 7-The Juniors held a class meeting to talk over a J unior-Senior banquet. Everything went along fine, until we were told by one in author- ity that we were violating a law of the b-oard of education in even think- ing of a banquet. We were informed that that would be our last class meeting in the schoolhouse if we intended to act that way, and so we went over to Carnegie Library and held our meetings. We had every- thing arranged, but at last it was decided that there was no use being 'canned from school and the proposition vanished as quickly as it appeared. May 12-Leta Martin, secretary of our class, was suddenly taken ill with appendicitis and was operated on at City Hospital. May 22-The class was entertained at the home of Edith Johnston. Qid we have a good time? That's too mildg we had a wonderful time. On the way home it was rather dark and Si and his lady got lost from the rest of the bunch. It was necessary to make some sort of a noise in order to find their whereabouts and as Si couldn't whistle the girl had to do it. Not being able to whistle wasn't enough for Si, he even asked the girl if she had a dog at home, she whistled so well. May 28-School came to a close and it made us very happy to know that we were full fledged Seniors. 49490496545 1914-15. We, the class of '15, entered upon one of the most eventful and important years of our lives, the last year of high school, on September 4, 1914. There are only fifty-seven of us now, as many of our number have fallen by the wayside since we first entered as Freshies. Never- theless there are enough of us to occupy Miss Flo's time attending our wants and criticizing us when we break one of the commandments Our class has even become noted for the many lectures held entirely 'for the benefit of the Seniors and under the entire direction of' Miss Flo. At the election of our Keramos staff in October a famous band of notorious characters, called the Sewing Circle, nominated their own candidates and their political enemies, the Rough Necks, did likewise. But our politics went into the hands of the receivers when Miss Flo ap- KERAMOS 29 peared and put an end to the strife by abolishing all political parties. So election day for our Keramos staff was equal to any presidential elec- tion ever held as far as excitement was concerned. On October 21 some of the Seniors endeavored to create a reform in styles. The girls wore their hair down and the fellows wore the loudest ties to be found. The reform was a failure, for it was not universally accepted as they hoped it would be. On November 26 Thanksgiving Day was celebrated by various selec- tions. among which was a sketch from The Courtship of Miles Standish. George Wilhelm was well adapted to the part of the sturdy, brusk Miles Standish, while Alice Mays and Demar Miller were equally successful in their representation of Priscilla and John Alden. On December 18 the three upper classes met and rendered a de- lightful Christmas program. The rooms were adorned with Christmas decorations, among which was a chimney. In this chimney some of the fellows put an alarm clock which went off at the thirteenth hour instead of the eleventh, for it went off just about twenty minutes t-oo late. Many Senior parties were held this year, among which was a party at Miss Georgia Leslie's home an January 18. All sorts of amusements were indulged in and one of our dignified Seniors even suffered assault and battery. At last on February 8 our hopes of several years were realized and we obtained our long promised gift-a new high school building. The old saying, everything comes to those who wait, surely proved true and the only complaint we have is that we were given such a short time to enjoy it. Among the many advantages of our new building are do- mestic science and manual training classes. Tubby Griflin and George Wilhelm surely considered the former an advantage, for our domestic science class now boasts of two chefs . We have been making good use of our auditorium by having chapel almost every Friday morning. We can readily appreciate this audito- rium because of our crowded space in the old building. Beginning with the Seniors on Friday, March 19, and continuing on each Friday the four classes conducted chapel. Chapel was opened by a short devotional serv- ice and followed by various selections by members of the class. Pat Farrell and Paul Schreiber astonished everyone by proving themselves star comedians. Yes, Miss Flo had a birthday on March 4. Our domestic science rooms served as the banquet rooms for two dinners given in her honor. Our class presented her with a box of chocolates and she proved herself truly generous, although a little partial by sharing them with only one of the literature classes. On Arbor Day, April 2, having decided to do something commeor- ating the Senior class we planted some ivy for the building and presented to the Junior class a spade which is to be handed down every year to the Junior class. A special committee of the hole prepared the ground and another committee decorated the spade with the Senior colors. We also had a short program in which Minnie Flick, Edith Johnston and Alice Mays reproduced Maeterlinck's Bluebird One of the most startling surprises of the year was the announce- ment of Miss Hallock's engagement to Rev. A. B. Marshall of Omaha 30 KERAMOS Theological Seminary, Omaha, Nebraska. We all thought Miss Hallock was more devoted to the interests of our school than to leave us for a Mere measley man. But then you never can tell. On Saturday, April 23, the Senior class had a food sale at Lewis Brothers' furniture store and were much pleased with the results. Some of the articles were made in the domestic science room by some of the girls and our two chefs. But some very kind boys thought that the cake made by our two boy cooks might be dangerous to somebody's health, so they appropriated it to themselves before it had a chance to get cold. Very nice of them, I'm sure. I We' will eventually be leaving our muchly beloved High School days far behind us and pass on into a world which will use us much as we make it, and in leaving these happy days behind we also hope we have left many pleasant memories and accomplished many worthy things which will benefit the younger pupils and which will not let them forget 615 73 dear old . 1916. Even though we are compiling this issue in honor of the Senior class, yet we must not forget to give due honor to the other classes, especially 1916. They have made worthy Juniors to such a class of Seniors. In athletics they carried the championship in everything this year. Even last year at the county meet it was Bucher, a Junior, who won us most points. But there is a versatile bunch of people in that class. In theatricals, Kinsey could not be beaten as a country rector and as Jack Spratt, rather opposite characters, but he was equal to both occasions. QGGQQQQ 1917. The class of 1917 or the present Sophomore class has made a record for itself in many ways. First in football season they sent many men out for the team. These men were rewarded by receiving regular posi- tions on the team. Then in basketball they had one of the fastest teams in the interclass league, making the Juniors hustle to stay in first place. When the Sophomore's turn came to provide the entertainment for the Friday morning literary they staged a small sketch. They showed the classes that they had ability along musical and literary lines as well as along dramatic and athletic lines. ' 1918. The class of 1918 began their history just like any other class of one hundred and ninety merry, laughing green children. All went quietly for awhile. To us they were merely Freshmen and no more, by with vim and originality they have proven themselves worthy of more notice. Not only are they doing credit to their school intellectually but physically as well. Is it not remarkable that a Freshman basketball team should win four games, also be represented upon the High team, that they should make five points in the class meet. In all school activities they have played an important part. Their class was represented fan unusual thingy by four students upon the Washington birthday celebration. KERAMOS 31 ur New Home OR a great many years the graduating class has been saying: We wg are especially honored because we are the last to go from the old building. Every year the next class is thinking, We shall be the first to enter the new building. But every time they have The New High School Building. been deceived and both honors have been left for the best class, 1915. But then our class is one of distinction, so naturally that one must fall to us, too. Our distinction has sometimes been one of discredit according to some people, but that mostly happened in the old building and of course we have adopted the dignity worthy such a fine dwelling since we have entered it. And, too, our class is the only one left which had part in that can- vassing of the town for votes on the school bond issue and we undoubt- edly did our share, so this great honor is not unmerited. ' But now that we are in this magnificent structure there are a hundred obligations as well as privileges, placed upon us which former classes knew nothing about. We are expected to give entertainments and all sorts of things so that the public may have a chance of seeing our pretty auditorium, of which we are justly proud. There are no such things now as Sophomores standing around the wall in assembly and Freshrneqrivbeingrleft out altogether. To compensate them for such dis- advantages before, we nowgive the Freshmen the front seats, as child- The Auditorium. The Domestic Science Room KERAMOS 33 ren always sit up front. Also each class has had an opportunity to show how nice an entertainment it could get up in a week. It is a good thing there were no judges as to the best show, or a regular iight would have been on, as each one was the most excellent of its kind. V. The Keramos Staff in the Library. In the picture above you can see one of the working forces of our school, the Keramos staff, and also our lovely library so conveniently UD placed next Miss Updegraif's oflice. A larger staff is necessary to run such a paper and it is hoped '16 will take heed to that counsel and add more departments. Not the least to most people is the cooking department where we learn to use pure food and to cook it properly. We have set the prece- dent by including boys in our domestic science classes and next year they may have special classes for the gentlemen, but there is nothing like it, especially if you expect to be bachelors. So now we bequeath all this beautiful building to the care of the class which is to follow. We have set the precendents for others, but many things are yet left for 1916 to undertake which it has been impos- sible for us to do. At the last we shall surrender even our caps and gowns, our name, and senioral dignity. KERAMOS ZX TQSQXQME QM gR,,eqr,n ?X KL ,- 14! ,.T..Qj Pg C 1 I SNQER5 ?

Although it is more than two years since I left old E. L. H. S., I still have very pleasant memories of my association with the class of 1915. It was during the campaign in Gaul, I believe, when we became acquainted and it is really remarkable how closely people are drawn by fighting the same battles together. I am very glad of the opportunity to send to you my sincere greet- ings and congratulations upon your having successfully finished your high school course. I wish for each one of you the greatest possible happiness and success in whatever course you may elect in life's school, and I have every confidence that you will nobly fulfill the high hopes we have for your future.

And first, of course, let me congratulate you on your new building. Its imposing picture made me cross, however, for it gave me the feeling of no longer belonging and made me almost regret having slipped away to this so-called wild and woolly-which it isn't really. The thermometers are all unreliable out here. Last winter when anyone fresh from Ohio knew for a certainty that it was down to zero, perhaps ten or twenty below, they registered above freezing. Further- more they had all regular Cortlanders and even the rain fooled for there was no ice. But what could one do about it? Well, perhaps I am ac- climatizable and shall be a regular myself next year. I knew that it would be impossible for me to say anything in the one hundred and fifty word limit given me. Come to Portland on your way to or from the exposition this summer and see for yourselves this beautiful city of roses, its holly trees and monkey puzzle trees, its Forestry building left over from the Lewis and Clarke exposition, the wonderful snow-capped mountain peaks miles and miles away, the splen- did high school buildings and all-and me.

KERAMOS 39 ur Walk to Lisbon NE fine Sunday afternoon about five weeks ago Leland True Alli- son, Harding Had Connell and myself were waiting on the car to go up to the state line and take pictures. While waiting in ' front of the station Had suggested that we walk to Lisbon. So after a five minute discussion we decided to go. So we started and got as far as the horn switch when I said, Well, if you want to go you can but for myself l'm going back. So I persuaded them not to go and we then started back to the Diamond. When we reached the Diamond we started up Fifth street and met our friend, Thomas Tubby Griflin. We mentioned the fact of walking to Lisbon to him and asked him to go, thinking all the time that he would not be able to walk so far on account of his surplus avoirdupois. Finally Tubby said, All right, fellows, we'll go, so for the second time we started toward Lisbon. While walking out Market street rules and regulations were made which were to be observed by all while walking. The first agreement was that if one of the crowd failed to walk as far as West Point he was to pay the others' fare back to East Liverpool, O. The second rule was that if you got as far as West Point you c-ould start back. With these and a few more rules we hit the Y. Sz O. car tracks and was on our journey. When we came to the first trestle the car was due, but not wishing to lose any time we thought we could make it across before the car came, so in single file we started across the trestle. I was the first one across. Had second, Tubby third and True, who had never walked a trestle, was last. When the first three of us had crossed we heard the car whistle and turned around to see where True was. We were very much surprised when we looked back and saw him standing still on the middle of the trestle. We called for him to come on, but he replied, come out and get me. I can't move, so Had and Tubby went back and got him just a minute or two before the car came. Any trestle We Walked after this True held on to my arm and got along very well. We experienced no more occurrences similar to that one during the rest of the trip. When we arrived at Annesley road we sat down in the box they have there for people to wait in. At stop 55 we met our dignified Senior friend, Miss Johnston, who was out walking with a coupleof girl friends. Along about this place we saw some girls about one-half mile up in another field, and we gave a couple of high school yells and in return the girls gave us a Chautauqua salute. We had just passed the four mile mark when one of us remarked, Gee! we got 14 miles further to walk, but we were cheered by True, who said in a very solemn tone, cheer up, fellows, its only three and a half miles apiece. We had no more experiences until we had walked about eight miles and were very hungry and wanted something to eat, but there wasn't a bite in sight. After walking a little longer we came in sight of a farm house, which by its appearance looked as if there might be some- thing good to eat in it, so after discussion the subject a while True said, if you fellows will go up to the house with me, I will ask for some- QCONTINUED ON PAGE 423 KERAMOS , 0 .J 1 1 ,KM , 41 f A fw , ' L xv X-1 iff?

God has kept her as she was: Only made her vastly sweeter, and more fair. We shall clasp her to our bosoms, ne'er to lose her smile again: And together we shall walk forever there. FRED WASSMAN. Died November 15, 1913. Thou, who were loved by all our class, It seemed so hard that you must pass Up to that final home, sosoon. Long ere the tolling of life's noon. But God above, Who art all wise, Hath taken thee up to the skies, Where you shall wait until that day, When we the final summons pay. 42 KERAMOS thing to eat. None of us desired to ask for anything to eat as we never had to do before, but as long as we paid for it it would be all right. We then directed our steps toward the house and were met by a dog, who by his growls showed that he didn't care for the looks of us, but he drew back when we came nearer. We all accompanied True up to the porch and he knocked at the door. A man confronted us and before he could say how do you do? True said, Mister, will you loan us a glass so we can get a drink of water ? On hearing this we all dropped but man- aged to regain our feet again. We got our water and proceeded again on our journey. Gee, but we sure were hungry. Darkness came upon us about 6 o'clock. We had about ten miles further to go. Soon West Point was sighted. Upon arriving at the station there I remarked that I was going home. Just then the car pulled in and I said, So long, fellows, I'm not going any further. There was great consolation when they told me it was only six miles further. They asked me to finish the walk but their argument was useless. Just then the car pulled out and I started after it. The con- ductor had the car to stop and waited for me. I started to get on the car when I heard True call, Oh, Miller. I then confronted the conduc- tor and said to him, wait a minute, and with these words I got off the car and went back and joined the rest of the bunch. We then left West Point and while walking along made mention of some of the many things that we would have to eat when we arrived in Lisbon. We were walking along the tracks and it was so dark that we could not see very well. There are some trestles out that way which I suppose we would refuse to walk in the day time, but being as it was dark we couldn't see the trestle and didn't mind them at all. After an hour's walking we saw in the distance lights which we knew at once were in Lisbon. Our hearts jumped with joy. We started to run but were so tired that we didn't run very far, but in about 20 minutes we were in the city limits. We then proceeded to the station where it was my intention to call my parents and let them know of our whereabouts, but to our great disappointment there was not any phone in the station so we proceeded up town. We went in the hotel where I called home and told mv people where we were, and when I told my father that we had walked to Lisbon the reply I received was, You soft things. We then proceeded to Easter- day's restaurant. After entering the restaurant we washed our hands and then ordered our supper, which consisted of everything on the bill of fare. In the restaurant we met our high school rival, Katy Easter- day. Katy and his girl friend had just come from church and were standing opposite the table we were sitting at. We saw Katy's friend nudge him and heard her say. See the small town stuff, 'Katy'? and at the same time pointed toward us. We were really insulted. After eating our supper we went to the hotel, where we rested for a short time. After resting a while at the hotel we left for the station and got the 11 o'clock car. We all tried to sleep on the way back but were so tired that it was impossible. We reached the Diamond at 12:50 and after bidding Tubby and Had good night, True and I started for his home, where I was his guest over night. The effects of the walk were felt the next day, but considering it all We decided it was the finest time we had ever had in one afternoon. - -D.

One more class will have graduated from our High School, one more class is ready to go out into the world and show what they can do, to put into practice all the lessons they have learned in school, lessons not found in books but learned from actual life. For some it may mean four years more of school, but to many, for the most part, the continual good times are over, and now for the first time they really face life to meet all situations, pleasant or other wise, which have here- tofore been met for them. And if, after spending four years in school, under such efficient instruction, are not better prepared to meet these circumstances, then for them High School has been a failure. If school has meant merely a place of spend our time, to meet our friends, and an opportunity to engage in all the side activities the real purpose has been defeated. If the boy or girl has not learned to meet people better, to understand more of human nature, to be more of a self-master, to concentrate his mind on anything he wishes, his time has been of little benefit to him, and might have been spent more profitably. But now that the time has come to decide our own future, there should be something positive in view, some ambition, in better words, an ideal. The reason so many people never reach anywhere beyond ordi- nary is, that their aim, if they happen to have one, is to get as much as possible in as easy a way as they can find. That is the aim of the mediocre individual, and as long as one holds to it, distinction will be out of the question. Even .if the ambition is for self aggrandisement, it is an admirable one, if one is willing to put our standard high enough in spite of all obstacles to always strive toward it. Although it is a selfish interest, yet a standard has been raised for others to follow and we sometimes call even them great people. But the greatest aim, the one chosen by really great people, is that of giving up their selfish desires and devoting their lives to others. When they decide their work, they think of something that will be of most benefit to their fellowmen. But now that the time is approaching for our separation, the spirit of 1915 becomes dearer to every one connected with it. Many good friendships have been made and many things have happened during these four years which will determine our whole life. Although most of us are eager to graduate, to take up some new line of work, yet it is with regret that we shall meet for the last time. As we go out into the world, never again perhaps to be connected in a direct way with the High School, yet let us not forget our alma mater and always be true to East Liverpool High School and to the class of 1915. QWMMMJQ In order that the members of the class of 1915 may always be held together, an idea has been adopted which will keep them in closer com- munication, and that is a class letter. Every year at a set time, each member of the class will send a letter to a certain one, who is elected editor, telling about themselves, what they are doing and what they expect to do. The editor then has these different letters printed and sends a copy of the paper to each member. It is hoped that each one on May 31 each year may send to the editor their letter and their address, and thus we may keep in touch with one another for many years. KERAMOS NOTES Fryett certainly was busy for two weeks. Nutty was the regular Simple Simon. Just natural like. Who snitched the locals?

According to Mr. Evans we have quite a number of donkeys C'?J in High. Sam is all for this social stufi ' and every one said they had a wonderful time. John got pinched, but Schreiber let him down easy this time, being his first offense. You'd better invent a new excuse for chewing gum, Lizzie. Miss Woodward is on. Who thought it of Bopeep? Pat did his part very nonchalantly and neither seemed fussed . 46 KERAMOS Raymond Thornberry has withdrawn from the Sophomore class. The net proceeds of the play given under the auspices of the Senior class amounted to EB20525. Ever see Peg Knowles riding in H-i-s new motorcycle side car? Well, you've missed a lot. Helen Auberger had better read up the Australian ballot before she advocates woman's suffrage. Who got your hat, Si ? You'd make a grand clerk in the 51.98. They are looking for speedy men like you. April 10 Dr. Richards, missionary from Africa, spoke to the students in chapel. Although short it was very interesting. Mr. Holl was absent the day after the cake was stolen. Tubby, I thought you and George were better cooks than that. Mary Williams has learned the powers of a flashlight although she still insists he was only forcing her to drink water. Tubby and Fat Wilhelm had the chance to demonstrate their cooking abilities at the Senior food sale Saturday, April 24. The proceeds of the play were certainly used to a good advantage in purchasing a velvet curtain for the stage of the auditorium. There are more than two male cooks among the Seniors. Chic Strobel makes wonderful taffy and it certainly did go at the food sale. Thursday, May 13, the eighth grade held their Thrift Day pro- gram in the auditorium and everything went fine. There ought to be a lot of material in next year's Freshman class. Freshmen chapel was great. Everything came off just as expected. Jim Goodwin was the star of the day and was some waiter. Ralph Stein as Irving Berlin got away with some rag, and Peg Milligan as Schuman Heink sang very well. The brass band must not be omitted, although it was pretty crude. Well, the Junior program surely was original and also clever. 'Twas a mock suffrage meeting and all the people of distinction in a village were portrayed to perfection. The village parson, C. Kinsey, led the school in the Lord's prayer and also the opening prayer in the suffrage meeting. Several very convincing K?J talks and good f?J arguments on Why Women Should Vote were given by R. Marshall, M. Scott, M. Jester, Parker and most students can now say their A-B-C's any Way you like them. There's a reason. The Sophomores certainly are good when it comes to this Bohe- mian dope. The stage setting was really unique and the curtain rose with a selection from the Bohemian Girl for the opening chorus. It seemed as though the Sophomore class were picnicing when several of the members came upon a gypsy camp. As with all gypsy camps there was a fortune teller KR. Boringj who told the fates of many High School students. Two gypsies CE. Torrence and O. Kidderj sang a duet from the same score and then the grand finale closed the interesting program.

S. 3 In the opening game of the season at Chester East Liverpool High won the game by a 7 to 3 score. East Liverpool started the scoring in the first inning with two runs. Chester followed with a run and then tied us in the fifth inning. From then till the seventh inning it seemed anybody's game. In the seventh inning we decided to go again and due t-o our hard batting and Chester's errors we scored five more runs. Chester was able to get one more run. Partly owing to the unusual clearness of the sky East Liverpool was particularly adept in mufflng high flies in the infield. Turner of the local team led with four hits. Sant was master when they had in a tight place and he soon got out. He pitched a nice game. Dunbar of Chester also pitched at fine game. E. L .H. S. 11-Wellsville H. S. 1. East Liverpool gave their old rivals a thorough drubbing before a big crowd at West End. East Liverpool reached Wellsville's pitcher in the first inning and batted around. Wellsville was unable to solve Sant's pitching and were weak in field- ing. They had a good crowd of rooters including many fair ones, but that was the most they did have. The local team gave good support and showed improvement over the opening games. Miller went in to pitch in the latter part of the game. E. L. H. S. Wellsville. Bucher, rf . Porter, mf. Turner, 2b.

East Liver- pool completely blew up in the second inning and piled up a bunch of errors which gave Wellsville 9 runs for the inning. After this they set- tled down and played good ball but too late to win. Baughman of Wellsville kept the hits scattered so that we only made one run at a time. This game finds us about even, but in the next game with Wellsville we are going to win. E. L. H. S. Wellsville. Turner, cf. Porter, rf. Allison, rf. Ward, lb. Hickey, ss. Runyon, ss. Allen, lb.

The game broke about even until the seventh inning when overthrows by East Liverpool let in the winning runs. The game was about the best played by the local team.

The annual Columbiana County track and field meet takes place this year at East Palestine May 15th. This year is the first time the meet has not been held at Lisbon for a number of years. With Easter- day a five-year man and the meet not at Lisbon, there may be a change. The school winning the meet three years in succession gets the cup permanently. East Liverpool should win the quarter, the half and the mile relay. They should also show strong in the sprints. Our chances for a winning team seems better than usual Howard Smith, captain, and Ronald Smith, manager, were the officers elected by the basket ball season for the coming year. Both are experienced men at forward and should lead a successful team next season. The team will lose only two men this year.

One awful hot day in July I smelled the smell of cherry pie, Then quietly I searched around, And soon three cherry pies I found. I took one for my very own, And then went to the barn alone. I eagerly devoured that pie. And when 'twas gone, I heaved a sigh. I then found in the hay a place Where I could hide my pie-smeared face, And very soon I fell asleep, and surely it was slumber deep. And while I slept, I dreamt a dream That was quite strange, I know 'twill seem As if I stretched it just a mite, It really gave me quite a fright. There was a man, a great big guy, Who, in each hand, held cherry pie, And as I looked at him intent He glared at me, on evil bent. Here, eat these pies, he said to me, And be as still as you can be. I took a pie and then began To eat it, guarded by the man. I finished it, 'twas very good, I always did think pie great food. But then this tyrant looked at me. Now eat some more of these. said he. I protested 'gainst eating more, But saw the fellow still had four: I'll make you eat each one of these, Spoke he. I got down on mv knees And begged him to be fair with meg I'd had my fill. 'twas as nlain to see, But he insisted stubbornlv, And then began to come towards me. Just then I tried to run away. But the fellow, to my great dismay, Quite easily recaptured me, And tied me to a cherry tree. He then strode heavily away, And left me feeling far from gay, But then he came back suddenly, And started to sand-paper me. He rubbed mv forehead and my cheeks, KI knew they'd never heal for weeksj. Just then I woke up with a yell, But quickly back again I fell. For looking square into my face, And only about a pace Away from me, there stood a cow, Whose rough tongue sand-papered my brow -Paul Schrieber 15 KERAMOS 61 James McDonald and Chick Strobel were bragging one day about their strength. Jim said: Why, I take the bucket to the well every morning and pull up ninety gallons of water. That's nothing, replied Chick, I take my rowboat every morning and pull up the river.
