24 KERAMOS about them when it came to sending the boys to the office. Why shouldn't Paul Reed Sz Co. keep step around the room if they wished to? May 29-It is considered an honor for a Freshman to receive an H, so when Si got his we Freshmen about took the roof of. 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

UR Exchange Editor whom all the exchanges will be glad to see duty and her cheerful disposition and willing nature have often found a way out when things looked darkest.

KERAMOS 25 where, and drank it without hesitation. April, 1913-That joyous spring vacation and oh how every one did enjoy it.

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.

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.
