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.

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.

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.
