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.

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.

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-
