20 KERAMOS Calendar for M191 1911-12. 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
