First. To the High School in general we bequeath the able Faculty, which throughout our four years of work we have come to know so well and love so dearly. Second. We do bequeath to the Class of 1917 the Rooms 23 and 24, which rooms have been duly and carefully made sacred to the name of Seniors. Also we leave to you our Senior Dignity. May you early garb yourself in this valu- able possession and thus prove yourself superior to the lower classmen. And to you we bequeath that undescribable thing known as Senior Privileges. These, when used with moderation, increase, but when abused depart to parts un- known. We give to you our most cherished possesion, The Keramosf' May you choose your staff well and .find another Charlie Forster in your ranks. Guard and keep this carefully that it may descend unharmed to the classes to come. Lastly we give to you our Caps and Gowns. They are only our old clothes, but they are symbollical of a sacred night, so we give them to you- germs and all. Third. To the Class of '18 we bequeath our Athletic Ability, for which the Class of '16 has ever been noted. Follow the example of Bucher, Kinsey, R. Smith, H. Smith and Forster and you will undoubtedly succeed. Fourth. To the Freshies, may Heaven bless them, we give our Ability for Study, which fame was given to us by Marie Crawford, Lydian Bennett and Helen Auberger. In Witness Whereof, the Class of 1916, by its presiding officers, has here- unto set its hand to this, its last Will and Testament, at East Liverpool, Ohio, this twenty-sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hun- CLASS OF 1916 E.

GEORGE ZOLLINGER Although this young man has been somewhat unsuc- cessful in love affairs, we are quite sure he will be paid two fold for these dis- couragements when his brains are serving the world. Adv. Mgr. Keramos. KERAMOS MARGARET VAN FOSSAN Peg isn't a very great saint or a very great sinner: she is just medium. BYRON TRUMBAUER It is said that Byron has been unsuccessful in lady adventures, but it seems that good qualities of manhood this should not be, as all the are displayed by him. SARA HUFFMAN It is surely a shame that the girls did not have a basket ball team before this year as Sara has displayed such won- derful ability at guarding that it will be a shame to lose her. Basket Ball 1. LILLIAN APEL Her epitaph might be writ- ten in these few words, She loves to kid the teachers. ELSA SHURTE One of those seldom found people who always have their lessons, but possess none of the earmarks of a grind. Here's wishing there were more like her. JULIUS ERLANGER Russians are noted as being the greatest hair bearing people in existence, but we have a rival to them in Caesar, who takes great pleasure in attempting to raise a misplaced eyebrow. Class Football, 1. X. X f Y RUTH CHAMBERLAIN The ch ' ampion gum chewer of the class. But Ruth al- ways smiles as she chews. Z ELTA MACKALL Elta is one of the girls you can't help admire. Her spirit and ability was shown by winning a position on the girls basket ball squad. Sho will wink to her friends. CHARLES THOMAS Chick is a peculiar, al- though likeable fellow and displays much interest in the school activities. Remem- ber the Wellsville game. Football, 2. Class Football, 2. Class Basket Ball, 1. if KERAMOS MARY MATHEWS' A student at all times and a good, hard worker for our interest. JAKE JUDY Jake is another member of our noble class that is built near the ground, but even with this handicap we w'll 1 award him the degree as being 1-lass . AMELIA VORNDRAN Manager and star forward on the b 'k as et ball team. One of the famous Vorndran tribe of athletes. We under- stand that she is also inter- ested in the boys' team. There is a reason for all this madness. 19 The Class vf ineteen- Sixteen ESTHER ANKRIM A very graceful jumper, having nothing of the ap- pearance of the bird called the elephant. We wonder if she still aspires to be a mis- sionary. ELBERT OYSTER Elbert is a dandy sort of a fellow only he can't stand to have his picture taken, especially when anyone yells t h. ., o im to hold his bean straight. Class Basket Ball, 2. Baseball, 2. N he Class 01' Nineteen- Sixteen RICHARD LYONS Dick Lyons is without question a smart boy: this was demonstrated when he came to East Liverpool so he Could linish his high school course with the best class that has ever left the school. COLLIN KINSEY The man that pitches the hay rules the world, thus this gentleman is in the class of the mighty, a con- spicuous figure in all activi- ties. We will not mention his singing. KERAMOS GRACE GAMBLE Famous for her laugh. Nuf Led. OLIVE MacDOWELL Many girls are content in school if they get good grades on their cards, but Olive is not that kind, she believes in having a good time as well as reaping the knowledge.

Football, 1, Basket Ball, 2. Baseball, 2. KERAMOS DOROTHY STEIN The younfx maiden is one of our live wires in every are tlvity. EFFIE HARRIES This little girl for E1 long: while showed little spirit in the things that were happen- ing around her, but Buehs athletic ability must. have seized her and as a result made a star l'orward out of her.

His ability along any line is apparently un- limited.

ARTHUR WELLS Anyone who can tell us just why Artie is learning to play the sliding: trombone will do us a great favor: we hardly think it is merely a means of increasing wind or losing fat , Class Football, 1. X KERAMOS HELEN MacKINTOSH A picture of one of the most likeable girls in class is that above. Her qualities are many and faults few. RUTH BROOKES Ruth has one great feature that everyone admires and it is that she has red hair. It is without a doubt one bright feature about our class. MARIE MARTIN Her ears are always open and her mouth closed most of the time. A pleasing per- sonality. KATHRYN BATEY Katie has a bewitching' smile that is loved by many and when it leaves the dear old school, it will be as a ray of sunshine gone out. ARTHUR DIMIT Good things often come in small packages and in Arthur we have no excep- tion, only that he is such a mischievious youngster. His work is well done and shows a masterful touch. H N! LUTHER PARKER Luther holds at least one honor in our midst, namely, the tallest student in the class. We have been told that he will also tower above us in an intellectual way. The future will tell us. Class Football, 2. J MERLE FISHER This young lady, we grieve to state, is a sad flirt. Watch her deny it when she se-es this. IT REBECCA BIRCH Our country lassie, who al- ways has a smile ready for every occasion. Did anyone ever see Rebecca in a ball humor? on ,I EARL FIFE This young man is the best worker we have seen, always ready to help and always practicing for athletics, yet his reward has been small. Class Basket Ball, 2. 2nd Team Basket Ball, 1. Track, 2. KERAMOS LILLIAN FARLEY Honor to whom honor is due. Honor is due to Lillian for her industry and sterling worth. ROBERT WHITLACH Sometimes we think that the wonderful talent of this gen- tleman has been overlooked and we take this space to honor him. EULA CAPEHART Eula is certainly a nice girl and her goodness is appreci- ated by all, especially one gentleman named George. George is not in our class and we wonder if Eula will take post graduate work? 'K 23 The Class of ineteen- Sixteen Z5 HAROLD COLES We do not believe this young man would make a yzood piano mover, but as chief chemist there is no question that he would be a success. ,-R HERBERT REINHARTZ If you want to know any- thing about the German army movements, and the value of the respective move- ments, we have here a bright young man who would be glad to enlighten you on any point. EVA WASBUTSKY ESTHER WALLOVER M The Class 0f Nineteen Sixteen A professional talker. Also a Latin shark. Aso a prom- ising prima donna. Her chief virtue is her good nature. HARDING CONNELL Sometimes you may have wondered who handed in the clever joke on you that amicarcd in the Keramos, and the chances are it was the chap whose picture is above. Class Football, 2. Class Basket Ball, 2. KERAMOS MARY FRASER A living contradiction of the theory that brains and hair cannot grow on the same head. If a city VU can be judged by one of its inhabitants, then Smiths Ferry must be some city. Class Secretary 1 Yr. LOIS EMGE A weak voice doesn't neces- sarily mean that one does not say things worth listen- ing to. BEULAH WILKINSON One of our quiet, persevering Seniors, who has won the respect of all by her patient application to her school duties. OMER RYAN It is a puzzle to us to know what this young man is most suited for because every- thing he does he does so well and there is hardly a chance to make any distinction. Bus. Mgr. Keramos. Class Football 2. Track.2. V N ALBERT BERGNER A little German who doesn't seem to worry about the Kaiser and his bunch as much as he does about making a difficult billiard shot. Football, 1. Class Football, 1. Track, Z. X X if ESTHER DAVIS ROBERTA MARSHALL NORMA JESTER Norma is another young maiden of our fifty-two that has the good fortune to have red hair. Nuf Cell. ESTHER HARRISON Esther is, we might say, one of the sweetest girls that ever left the school. Her consideration of everybody makes many friends for her. One of the luvky people in the class who enjoys the privilege of being excused early to catch her var. We presume that she has caught things other than cars since she entered E. L. H. S. KERAMOS NELLIE MQPHAIL We will have to acknowledge East End produces great men and women. The lady above is one good proof, HELEN HILBERT Those who are acquainted with Helen know her to be one of the most popular girls we have. She has fel- lows of every description. The above subject represents either a coming grand opera star or a successor to Madam Bernheart pulling the tragic stuff. One of our most popu- lar girls. A booster forever. 25 he HSS 0f ineteen- Sixteen LEAH JOLLEY Well what do you expect from a maiden named Jolley 1' Lots ol' Iill- and fun? Leah is dili'orunt, being exception- ally quiot and sell'-going. i JOHN IRWIN Smile and the world smiles with you, thus .lonnie goes through life blowing the trombone. and as a result we find ho is of wonderful build and proportion. A live wire at all times. 26 Tile Cl8SS Of Nineteen Sixteen -5 CHARLES EDGAR If a good, sound, healthy body means much to young Arne-rica, Chuck has a.won- derful future in .front of him. Class Football, 2, Class Track, 2. HANNETTA BLOOR The lady whose picture is above is that of a maiden whose silence is noted throughout the school, yet often the best of us are those who say little. KERAMOS HELEN LAUGHLIN A friend of everybody in everything. One good thing from East End. MARY WILLIAMS A big gun in making the Senior party a success. A most pleasing and admirable companion. LAVINIA HARVEY Vinie is a peculiar girl, although a popular one, throughout the school. She will long be remembered for her loyal support and activi- ties. Class Sec. 3. School Notes Editor. LOUISE LAUFENBERGER Good things usually come in small packages, at least they tell us that, andfwith this young lady to uphold the statement we cannot help but believe them. CLARA SCHNEIDMILLER It has often been said, What's in a name, and in many cases there is little, but the above name is that of one of our greatest stu- dents. HAZEL SPIRES Will be remembered for her sweetness and modesty rather than activity in school af- fairs. RUTH PERSOHN Ruth is seen but not heard in E. L. H. S. However we imagine if she chose to speak it would be worth while to listen. KERAMOS DOROTHY LARCOMBE. Did you ever see a jovial person that wasn't fleshy? The cut above is a Dicture of no exception. A willing worker at all times. IRENE FLINN Nothing gmt praise can be shower, upon this young lady, who has succeeded in completing the course in three years. GEORGE BOICE To have a perfect pompadour is no doubt a splendid ambi- tion and in this respect Georgie seems to have come out on top as the ver- dict given by all that have noticed his say its wonderful.

ATHER TIME has crept over the class of '16 with lightning like rapidity. His strong hand has wrought many changes over their varied lives, bringing joy and gladness to most of them. Those men and women, once the bright boys and girls of the East Liverpool High School, sit in the massive theater belonging to Collin Kinsey with eager expectation. They whisper quietly among themselves about the lives of the past and wonder what changes could have effected the lives of their classmates. Suddenly from behind the curtain they hear an orchestra strike up the tune of Annie Laurie. Their whispering is hushed and the theater is filled with loud applause as the curtain arises revealing an orchestra which everyone recognizes to be composed of members of the class of '16, There was Miss Marie Crawford, always loyal and faithful, bringing out the tones of the piano as she had never used to play. She had learned from years of study and practice the real art which stirs the hearts of even the most uncivilized men. Close by her sat one whom at first no one could recognize. His black hair was streaked with gray and his face bore trace of sadness and worry. Byron Trumbauer, whom in the year of 1916, no one would have believed to have had even one little care or Worry, now looked as ,though some horrible weight had been placed upon his shoulders. The audience whispered a little now. Some wondered what could have caused this change in Byron, others did not recognize everyone, and at last a man with bald head came smilingly forward, and with a big bow said: You all know me. I'm Laughlin, and I will tell you who the rest of these fellows are. He then introduced Miss Crawford and Miss Ben- nett, Mr. Wells, Mr. Trumbauer, Mr. Tate, Mr. Ashbaugh and Mr. Boice. These had certainly changed, and those in the audience whispered and gossipped about those men who stood smiling and unembarrassed before them. Miss Apel and Miss Howell, who had been separated for years, now chattered incessantly about THIS man being so handsome, and that 1 KERAMOS 29 one flooking at Mr. Trumbauerj looking as though he had been hen- peckedf' Then these old maids wondered if they were ALL married. The applause having somewhat subsided, a man whom someone whispered was Frank Sant, the Senator, walked s'lowly upon the stage and thus rather confusedly began: Ladies and gentlemen fpauseh you all remember that on the 26th of May in the year of 1916, it was agreed to have a reunion of the Senior Class of 1916 upon June 1, 1935, on which date each should send one moving picture reel of his life during said year, and all the class should assemble from far and near to see the pictures in a theater which I, Mr. Sant, should select. I have selected this theater because it belonged to one of our members, the esteemed Mr. Kinsey. I regret to say that there are some people who have neglected to send their pictures and s0-er- we are deprived of the pleasure of seeing their life of this year upon the screen. But I trust you will all be pleased with what We have to show you this afternoon, and return home more contentedly than when you came. With the same deliberate step he sauntered from the stage. The audience showed their approval of his short speech and at last the curtain fell and the first picture flashed upon the screen. It showed a woman sitting quietly at a table darning stockings. Four children could be seen playing about in the yard. The woman's hair was pulled straight back and fastened securely at the back of her head by a rather large hairpin. At her feet lay a kitten, snoozing quietly. Quite often the woman began a hasty search through the pile of stockings at her side in an effort to find the mate of the stocking which she had just fin- ished, only to discover when it was found a hole much larger than the one she had just mended. A frown would pass over her countenance and at last in disgust she threw the stockings upon the floor. As she did so a man dressed in overalls with a straw hat and carrying a milk pail came rushing into the room. His bucket was set down upon a chair. His hat was thrown upon the already crowded table. As he walked he left the footprints of his large shoes upon the carpet. This was just a glimpse of the life of one whom we all had known so long ago. Some laughed, others wondered who the woman could be and who the man txivas. The man was a Western farmer, but the woman was-Norma ester. - In the far corner of the theater two women with long-drawn faces watched a man sitting near them with unveiled curiosity. The man occasionally cast a glance in their direction and as soon as the first pic- ture was over he arose from his seat and walked towards them. The women giggled and moved about a little in their seats. The man walked towards them as though about to speak and then turned and walked past. The women's expression changed while Rebecca Birch exclaimed to her companion: Well, I declare, Lois Emge, if 'Had' Connell hasn't deliber- ately stung us again. Then they unhesitatingly turned their attention upon another. The next picture showed a fight. A large muscular looking fellow was certainly getting the best of a younger man. The younger man's head seemed to be a target for the large man's blows. The men in the audience leaned forward in their seats as again and again they saw the larger man land a blow which sent the other reeling. That young fellow is nearly gone, muttered one man in the audience, and another man said, I guess you're right, Boiceyf' No one needed to ask who the big 30 KERAMOS man was. The newspapers were full of Buch, and as he finally won the victory over Thomas, the big house rang with applause. ' The third picture was rather amusing. A quiet little lady was trying in vain to make a dress fit a twisting young lady. One instant the lady decided she needed a little powder, the next she must use a little rouge to cover that little pale spot, until at last, quite discouraged the poor dressmaker stood back and waited. The young lady, not embarrassed nor retarded in the least, stooped down to pet a Huffy dog which lay on a pillow at her feet. The dressmaker looked on with disapproving eyes and certainly looked very shocked when the lady took a small box of candy from her bag, and opening it, thrust a piece of chocolate candy into the dog's mouth. Then she stood back and laughed lightly as the dog begged for more. Then Lady Ankrim turned to again have her dress fit. And if it didn't fit it was Miss McPhail's fault, of course. During the intermission Etta Mackall and Margaret Van Fossen sat talking together. Etta lives in Milwaukee now, and Peg lives in East Liverpool. Etta was saying, Yes, I am sorry he couldn't come, too. But he is so busy now. You know when doctors are busy they just have to give up to them. He has quite a large practice now. He makes from five to ten calls every day. You know I met him in Hookstown six years ago. It was a case of love at first sight with both of us. Here she gave a detailed account of the love affair which Peg did not have to look at when it was next flashed upon the screen. As Etta's eyes beheld her darling husband she bubbled forth: There he is, the dear, good thing. Isn't he handsome '? And Margaret humbly answered: Yes, very. The picture following had these headlines: The Red-Haired Child- ren. The picture disclosed three children sitting side by side upon the steps of a large, beautiful house. The children resemble their mother in all but one particular and the headlines had said they had red hair. Her's was dark. They were smiling as she always had. Suddenly two heads appeared from a window. Whose heads were they? Why Helen's and Carty's, of course. Elbert Oyster was talking confidentially to George Boice. Elbert's conversation ran thus: Honest, Boicey, she spent every cent I had in a month. But I should grieve! The one comfort I have is that I didn't ask her to marry me when it first popped into my head. You're a lucky man, Boicy! That's some meat market of yours! Boicey, all enthused over his new purchase and ready to talk of it, said: You're right, Oyster. Greatest thing ever. You know, I have made up my mind to move now since it is making a go. You know, Merle never did like the house we are living in now. It's a shame Lavinia spent your money and then walked coolly off with Santy. He can support her, though, I suppose. The next picture was rather puzzling. It showed a man sleeping quietly beneath a tree while a young lady continually annoyed him with a feather. The picture was not taken from life but was merely drawn. The faces of the audience became clearer, however, as there appeared a name written across the screen in bold letters, which spelled Forster. No one had to ask who Forster was. Everyone remembered the Keramos which was for one splendid year issued under the excellent management of Charley Forster. Now he was the editor of the largest paper in the United States, and although he was unable to attend the meeting, the letter which he sent was read by Mr. Sant, accompanied by the applause and hilarious shouts of the audience. He had truly reached and clung firmly to success. KERAMOS 31 Mary Williams and Arthur Wells sat smiling among several old maids. Mary wore a ring of gold on her left hand accompanied by a large diamond-gifts of Arthur. Happiness certainy applied to these two. Although Arthur and Walter Ashbaugh occasionally fussed about who had the largest pottery and whose wife was the best. It was generally settled that Efiie suited Walter and Mary suited Arthur. The next picture was a slide. It showed a girl with a magnifying glass looking both on the high places and the low ones for-a man. In one corner of a shelf a man, a little larger than the rest, stood holding out his arms to her. Esther Wallover had not sent this picture herself. The largest man in the picture had evidenly sent it. Busy tongues whis- pered that it was Howard Smith. The following picture showed Eula Capehart busily engaged' in selling tickets and getting contributions for the Y. W. C. A. She has worked for so long for the Y. W, Mary Scott whispered. She certainly deserves something for it. George Zollinger sat during the whole performance in a vain endeavor to explain the pictures to his very young wife. He at last gave up in despair and watched and listened to what was going on about him. The last picture had been shown and Mr. Sant informed the audience that they would now adjourn to Mr. Tullis' restaurant, which was just next door. They all prepared to leave, and as they were about to enter the large restaurant they noticed two machines drive up in front. The Tin-Lizzy and the big Packard from Salinesville was filled with laughing people. Dunk Smith assisted two ladies to alight from the Ford, while John Irwin was lending his aid to Esther Harrison, who was now quite fleshy and needed assistance. Dorothy Stein stepped lightly upon the pavement and hurriedly rushed towards the group by the restaurant door. Every one was sorry they had not arrived sooner, but then-the Tin Lizzie had been suffering from a puncture. They all joyfully entered the restaurant and there they first met Bob Watson, as waiter. He served them well and gladly attended their needs. 4 At one table the old maids gathered together and discussed the ones who were present and who were not present and who had not even sent a reel. I wonder what ever became of Eva Wasbutzky, was asked. At once Lilly Apel furnished the answer: Oh, she married a college man and they moved away. I have never heard of her since. No one knows what became of her. She was so nice, too. I hope she got a good man? They say she married well, and indeed I've had oHers, too, but none of them suit me. Have you heard about Dorothy Larcombe and Albert Bergner? No. Well, dear me, sakes alive, I declare, I thought every one knew that. Well, you know she was a movie actress and Albert was a comedian. Quite recently they have been engaged by the same manager. They have made quite a hit, too. People say they have a fond- ness for each other from the way they play in their parts, and I reckon they're right, too. You remember Luther Parker? Well, I got a letter from him the other day. With a smile of satisfaction she drew forth a letter. I'll read it to you. You know he is a minister away out in Oklahoma. Here she read the letter and it sounded as though Luther really cared a little for Lily. As she finished, she closed the letter care- fully and replaced it in her pocket, and then continued, I always did like ministers. Yes, indeed, I've had my offersff 32 KERAMOS As she concluded, a tall, elegantly dressed woman, accompanied by a very good looking man, entered the restaurant. Well, Eva Wasbutzkyf' exclaimed Mrs. Sant, as she ran with outstretched hands to meet her. Who would ever have thought that you would come clear from New York? Every one looked Eva over, and as she passed their approval her husband found a chair for her and two more were added to join in the gaiety. A messenger boy rushed in. A telegram for Mr. Sant. Mr. Sant rg-:ad thle telegram amid the anxious glances of the others and then read 1 a ou : . Train wrecked. Eight of us unable to come. Sorry. Omar's special train cannot get us there until too late. Mary Frazier, Mary Matthews, Grace Gamble, Harold Coles, Ruth Chambelain, Ruth Brookes. MRS. HELEN HILBERT RYAN. Well, now isn't that too bad! ejaculated Olive Howell. He's a millionaire now. Did you know that Lily '? I'll say so, replied Lily, a little offended. At another table sat some married women and men. Did you know that Clara Shurte was ill and unable to come ? said Lavinia. Poor girl she works so hard over there at the courthouse. They say she is a very good stenographer, though. At which Frank Sant, not wishing to be outdone by his wife, said: Yes, and what about Sara Huffman? Someone said she had been teach- ing school in Calcutta for years. I haven't seen her for ten years. I guess it is about time she gets pensioned. She used to be quite interested in a man who was in the navy. Oh, Julius Erlanger ventured a reply. She has started a child- ren's home over in Hookstown. She is getting along nicely, though some say she is heart-broken over some love affair she had when younger. Amelia Vorndran won the man from her, I guess, and she is living very happy over in Boston. Do look at Alfred Tate and Mary Scott. I wonder if he will ever marry her. Sometimes I think he will marry Izetta Dorsey and really I wouldn't be surprised if he did. One of the fellows in my store said he bought enough silk socks at a time to last him a year. Have any of you met Bob Whitlaches' wife yet. She's awfully good-looking isn't she? At which Julius' wife immediately turned around to see who the good looker was. He resumed his conversation as soon as every one had agreed that Bob's wife certainly was a peach, a dream, beautiful, etc. Hazel spires is a missionary, some one told me the other day and Louise Sanfenberger teaches German in Chicago. There is cer-- tainly a bunch of school teachers here: Lillian Farley, Esther Davis, Clara Schneidmiller, and who would ever have thought that Helen Judge could have settled down enough to become a school teacher? Charley Edgar would have been so much better off if he hadn't tried to mix in politics. Jake Judy and Arthur Dimit opened a garage last week down on Third street. I sent my car down there to have it repaired. They have both grown a little since 1916? At which remark everyone laughed. At another table sat Henetta Bloor, Leah Jolley, Hilda Neiser and Helen Laughlin, who had all married men out of town and sat there with their husbands looking and commenting upon the hoops which Mary Wil- liams Wells wore. With such remarks the dinner progressed and everyone went to the KERAMOS 33 train to see the different guests depart. As the train was about to leave they heard a strangely familiar voice shout, All aboard, and looking up they saw Roland Horton, who was a brakeman on the train. Everyone returned home with happy hearts, looking eargerly forward to 1945, when all should meet again. -00-O-0-Q-Q-90-O-GQ-9-9-O-0-90-0-0-06 Winnie's Mistake ELLO Winnie' Want to go rowing? . All right Phil Ill be ready in a minute, called Winifred, dis- appearinglwithin the hotel. Wmifred Scott was a young society girl spending the sum- mer at a small hotel in Maine. Philip Reindel, her lifelong friend, was a medical student, spending two weeks with his uncle across the lake. Soon they were well out from shore and Philip began: You know, Winnie, what brought me up here at this time. Don't you care for me just a little ? Oh, Phil, please stop! begged Winnie. This is our last sail to- gether, and please don't spoil it this way. Why how can that be, cried Philip. I have another week yet. Yes, but I promised to marry some one else, she sobbed. It's this way: Aunty gave me my 'coming-out' party, and it's been all mother could do since to keep up appearances. That's the reason we bundled off to this heathenish old place this summer instead of having a 'season' in town. So when this proposal came, all the relatives hailed it as a glorious chance. Oh. dear! Don't tell me it. is that cad of a Rudolph Reginald Perkins, begged Philip. The same. How could you? he reproached. I didn't count upon you coming up here, and it wasn't so bad with you away, because, Phil, you know he has 'oodles' of money. Shall we pull over to the rock today? No, please don'tg let's go back. So they rowed back, almost in silence, to the hotel. They went up the walk together, and as Philip took his leave, he pressed her hand and said: Winnie, if ever you are un- happy or need a friend, come to me. There will never be any other with me. Phil, you're splendid, she cried, and turning, ran into the house. Philip made a brave attempt to whistle as he walked away, but the whistle seemed somehow to stick in his throat. A double column in the newspaper describing the wedding and we hear no more of Winifred Perkins fnee Scottl. But meanwhile Philip Reindel graduated with honors from college, and became noted far and wide for his skill. He was sought by people from all over the land, but insisted on spending part of his time in working among the poor of the city. While on one of these trips one evening in June he met a woman who seemed oddly familiar. Was it? Yes, it must be Winnie! He hurried after her and called her name. When he came up with her he 34 KERAMOS exclaimed: Winnie, is it really you, here and alone, at this time of night ? Yes, Phil, it is Ig but I hoped you wouldn't recognize me. Few people do. You ask why I am here? I am carrying soup to old Betty McGregor, who has been so good to me, but who is now very ill. May I accompany you ? he asked. As they walked along she told her story. She and her husband had gone to his home to live. Afterwards her husband died, and his family, finding out her financial circumstances, had treated her discourte- ously, and had taunted her with cruel remarks. She finally ran off and came to the city. She hunted for work until her money was almost gone and had finally rented a small hall, and started a dancing school for girls, as that seemed to be all that she could do well. By this time they had reached their destination, and after examining the woman, Dr. Reindel said: She has but a few hours to live. Shall we remain, Winnie ? I certainly shall, she promptly replied. So they sat down to await together the coming of the Angel of Death. When at last the kind soul had passed to its reward, Philip and Winifred stood in the doorway, just as the dawn broke over the city. An answering dawn seemed to break in the heart of each, for Philip had again asked his question, and this time not in vain. The gloomy room behind them seemed a symbol of the life they were leaving and the brightening June morning before them a symbol of the life that was to be. -M. F. '16.

KERAMOS 35 Class H istorv DOROTHY LARCOMBE. HE history of the class of 1916, did you say? To write that would mean to look far into the future, for this class has only begun to make history, consequently the attempt will go only so far as to outline the events of class interest during the past four years. How Dame Fortune managed to bring together in the fall of 1912 one hundred and forty-nine such congenial, good natured, sunny, versatile youngsters with one ambition to make good is more than any one can tell. And you ask, how they made good ? Listen! On the second day of their acquaintance, such a spirit of unity developed that the whole class of boys went together as one to defend the banner of 1916, which some kind fate had suspended from a telephone wire. No one-no one less than Mr. Warren could have in- fluenced them to lower their standard. With his good-natured persuasive way he induced Joe Cowey, the class schemer, to remove the pennant. This Mr. Warren kept. For what? To remember the class of 1916? If fortune was kind in bringing together such a lively lot of pupils, she was also gracious in providing teachers for them. Mrs. McCulloch, with her ever-ready wit, expounded to them the mysteries of algebra. The Misses Ikirt, sweet and jolly, were always willing to give these one hundred and forty-nine every opportunity to learn the art of expression. Mr. Holdren, the man with the merry twinkle in his eye, thoroughly taught in the whys and wherefores of botany and physical geography. And then down in the lower regions was Mr. Holl, who even then pos- sessed a master passion to show the boys how to walk the straight and narrow path. The sparks of genius began to show in the Freshman Class of 1912. The Keramos Exchange Department every month contained special com- ments on their literary abilities. Well they might, too, for rare ability was shown by quite a number of students. But they lost Herma Hoyt, artist and expert writer, at the end of this school year. May Columbus He appreciates her as the class of 1916, East Liverpool, still does. In athletics, too, their skill was shown. They, the lowly, green Freshmen, looked upon contemptuously by the upper classes, won the class championship in basket ball. In the inter-class field meet the Fresh- men made more points than any Freshman class before or since. September, 1913, found but eighty-tive of these remarkable students taking their places as Sophomores. The third day of school a red and white 1916 pennant floated on the breeze before the building. The main conspirators were taken to Miss Flo's office and the parents of those lads, too were much interested in the otlice. Shortly after this the class of 1916 adopted a pin for use during 1913-14. It was a gold l?J safety pin. The adoption of this signified two things: Safety first and stay together, the latter of which the members of this group always do. Of the Sophomore teachers Miss Ashton alone remains on the Hi faculty. Cupid carried away Miss Hallock. Miss Shigley gave up teach- ing, While Mr. Watson accepted a position in Zanesville. Miss Stltt, who Hlled Miss Shigley's place for the rest of the term, is now' in Columbus, but she often sends messages to the class. May all these wise counsellors have the greatest success in their various undertakings. Athletics this year were not so good in Hi. The Juniors won the 1 36 KERAMOS class championship in football, but the Sophs were the only ones who had the honor of winning a game from them. About this time the new Y. M. C. A. was well under headway and Mr. Fornell asked all of the classes in High School to furnish a room. Only one responded-1916 paid her sixty dollars willingly for so good a cause. You see these lads and lasses had in addition to all of the above-named good qualities, an excellent eye for business. A food sale was planned. A success. Forty dollars was easily cleared. The class games in basket ball were thrown out this year because each team had one player or more who did not have the required grades, but the Sophs sure looked good for the championship. The year closed splendidly with a big gala day at the inter-class meet. The Sophs sold ice creams, since they were confident from previous experiences, that they could easily pocket some money. There is no need to say that they won out financially, too. The Junior year was rather a ''Let-the-other-follow-do-it'' year. The autumn brought but one trophy, since the Junior class won the champion- ship in football. And then the nicest thing happened upon their return from Christmas vacation, they entered the new Hi School building. Such a wonderful commodious place. In fact it took every class some time to get used to it. A lovely Christmas present! The Juniors landed the class championship in basket ball, as well as the inter-class field meet. This had always been considered as be- longing to the Seniors, but again '16 snowed the others under in great style. Hurrah for Mr. Larkins, who presented the winning team with a handsome cup. This year was the first for several years that our Hi was repre- sented by a baseball team. Success attended their efforts, nevertheless defeat was much in evidence of a lack of support from the student body. The teachers this year had their hands full, yet, in spite of this fact, they filled their places efficiently. Miss Davidson, thoroughly versed in the perplexities of Latin, Miss Hobbs, the smallest teacher in captivity, and Miss Woodward-Deutsch-Nuf ced, Mr. Elliott, the friend of all, and Mr. Watson, their beloved civics teacher. Wonder why they put them up so near the Principal's office? The Junior class of 1915 developed into Seniors. We were eighty- four strong. September found us eager to-assume the responsibilities worthy of the cap and gown. We were Seniors, yet we felt but little more dignified than when we were Freshmen. Senior privileges now that we possessed them, were not half so enviable as when we were Sophomores. In fact, we were still in the play age, so that when the Athletic Ex. ar- rived we laid aside our dignity and played as others did. How good of Miss Flo to let us have a real event where we learned to know the younger members of our large family! And how our boys did show their appreciation of this good time! Shall we ever forget the football defeat of our old rival Lisbon? Shall our Senior boys ever forget the feed Miss Flo gave in return? Later came the defeat of Wellsville. Say, will the Seniors be missed in football? Will the Athletic Association miss them or is it an error that most of its supporters are Seniors? What student would not desire to belong to an Athletic Association which supported a basket ball team such as we had this year? The boys surely covered themselves with glory, after which they were permitted to enter the State tournament at Delaware. Here they swept everything before themg the team work was commented on by all the spectators, . v. v., -... KERAMOS 37 their clean, manly sportsmanship caused many admiring remarks. Sandy Fess, the sorrel-top lad, played a ripping game all through. Runt, the spectacular basket shooter, never failed to score for E. L. H. S. Dunk -well, we all know what he can do-our only pang of re- gret is that we can't take such a gentlemanly, likeable fellow with us. The last game came. The State Championship. Why did our ball always persistently roll around the rim just to drop out on the outside, and why did the ball from Stivers Hi just as persistently roll in? Fate again. We lost the game but we landed the championship of Northern Ohio. We are wonderfully proud of our boys. We are glad that the cup was not entrusted to Buch or he might have forgotten it and left it in Delaware. To the basket ball boys we give honor and praise. To the basket ball girls we give nothing less. Their ability on the floor and their ability in finances are equally good. Here's a little secret. The girls willingly contributed their own money to make up the fund sufficiently large to send the team out for the State Championship. Does a girls' team necessarily plunge an Athletic Association into bankruptcy, we ask. And the regular team was wholly comprised of Seniors. We wonder if it was because of a grudge against us, or because of a liking for us that Miss Woodward followed us into ,our Senior year? Don't worry, Miss Woodward, we have no grudge and you have led us to believe you like us. What teacher has not, though some times, we re- gret to say, we were not worthy of it all. Miss Powell has been patient and persistent, though we were frequently lazy. Mr. Bechtol has been kind and liberal, inspite of the fact that we sometimes mistake H2SO4 for H2O. Mr. Fess, our admired history teacher, has shown unusual poise and self-control, contrary to the custom of red-heads. And Miss Updegraff-don't think for a moment that she has not endeared herself to the Seniors. They will always look back upon the hours spent in her class room as time dear to the heart of a Senior. Our interests have always been her interests. Our wishes have always been her consideration. How we hate to leave her and we hope that at times she will remember her eighty-three Senior kids of '16. May the future hold a bright and happy career for our beloved Miss Flo. The Senior class had a party. It was the very first-class affair we have had yet and we are sorry we have not got together before. Such a lively lot, yet the punch wasn't spiked either. We are on the last lap now. Some are far ahead g some have sprinted up to come up among the first at the close, others are almost windedg we hope no one gives up entirely, for the race has been such fun. A prize awaits us at the close. There will be a grand applause: the victors will be carried on the shoulders of admiring spectators, the other contestants, too, will share in that celebration, a bit of parchment will be handed to each runner, a kindly farewell and a gracious benediction will be tendered by Mr. Warren, and the game is over. The class of 1916 will then have passed into history. The race has only now begun We love our dear old High School true, . We love the colors, White and Blue, We hold our banners shining bright, Our motto still reflecting right, Pray God, we act the gentleman. 0 - 38 KERAMOS The Senior Affair MID the rustle of silk and chiffon fwe take it for granted that chiffon does rustlej the Seniors assembled in the auditorium on the night of April seventh. ' The first number on the program was a musical production that was really beautiful. Adaire and When I Leave the World Be- hind were rendered by our beloved Mr. Fess and three Seniors. Arthur Pryor might indeed envy a rival in Art Wells and Mr. Fess with his violin would no.doubt win Mischa Elman's praise. Trump's playing and Miss Ste1n's piano accompaniment caused harmony to reign supreme and the curtain went down 'mid well deserved applause. The first act ending, a pause ensued and all waited in breathless agony. The Great Tragedy of Darkness and Silence was announced and from behind the curtain the slow melancholy strains of Beethoven's Funeral March were heard. Miss Powell's face fairly beamed and with a sigh of content she sank back into her seat. Slowly the curtain went up-click! lights out,-and slowly the curtain went down. Strange noises arose in the audience, and Miss Flo was heard to remark that April show- ers surely arose on short notice. But a switch suddenly snapped and the shower ended more quickly than it had begun, and some blushing girls hastily arranged disturbed locks and grabbed for the eternal whitening. Yes, the great tragedy was a success. It couldn't have been better, as J. E. himself remarked, and he had. reasons to know. The next act, the minstrel, featured the first, last and only red- headed coon in captivity, who however looked strangely like our own Chuck Forster. We never knew that Chuck had such a voice,- beautiful, inspiring! And dancing--say! Ruth St. Denis wasn't in it. Of course, it was aesthetic-certainly. We wouldn't have it any other way for a good deal. We were ably chaperoned and safety first was good enough for us. Some one even murmured sherry when he tasted the punch,-audacious thought, although it did worry us to see Trummy drinking so much. He couldn't tear himself away. Those who heard Bob Tullis with his Kentucky Jubilee will never forget it-no never! and Parker's Mother, truly beautiful. Caruso isn't in it with Parker. That boy should cultivate his voice. There's a fine conservatory of music near the center of Death Valley, Luther, dear- better try it. Frank Sant ought by all means to go out for track. As interlocutor he got up, walked three steps and back, then sat down, all in a minute and a half's time. Speed! Who said Frank was slow. Odors of coffee penetrated into the auditorium as the curtain went down, and with as much haste as our bringin' up would allow we filed down stairs, where plates for seventy were laid. The tables were ar- ranged in the shape of a cross, red and white being the color scheme. After a Sherlock Holmes investigation we found our place cards- and then-wonderful to relate: Chicken Consomme Reception Flakes Chicken Croquettes French Peas Mashed Potatoes French Rolls I Celery Olives Parfait Demi Tasse Macaroons KERAMOS 39 Following the eats Arthur Wells acted as toastmaster, and a better one we couldn't have had. Chuck rendered the customary plea for the Keramos and bashful Mr. Bucher finding that the distance between him and Frank Sant was great and far between, responded with an outburst of oratory which caused the shades of D. Webster to turn from gray to green. Hunt believed in brevity and more brevity which reminded Mr. Wells of a certain Brooklyn man who, being called upon for an after din- ner talk, nervously arose, and fumbling with his watch chain, thus spoke: This afternoon in the quiet of my study the Lord and I prepared a speech together, but what or where that speech is now, the Lord knows, I don't. Miss Harries eulogized the girls' team, and Mr. Sant wearily spoke. Poor Frank! He really needs some rest. Miss Powell spoke in Latin and Mr. Bechtol in Chemistry fto a cer- tain extent.J ' Miss Flo was called upon early, in order that the feared it's getting late, might not spoil her remarks. Miss Ashton brought fond remembrances of Caesar and galloping trots, and Miss Woodward faithfully determined to double lessons after' reading her place card. Mr. Fess' iirm resolve to speak without a that reminds me, was successful up to his fifteenth word. Oh, yes, he told two or three after that, but what credit he deserves for his brave attempt!

' FED -map? 4092 ELLU' 40 KERAMOS An Important Incident in Hcrmionc's Life The small girl walked bravely up the steps which led into the great house. In the doorway stood the mistress and her three servants. Hello, Aunt Phoebe. I've come to be fetched up, she announced anxiously. You poor child! exclaimed the woman as she ,kissed the little girl, though not very warmly. And this is Mandy, indicating a large, pleasant-faced colored woman, and this is Sally, who will help you dress and will look after you, Mrs. Hampton continued, and also Nebuchad- nezzarf' This is Miss Hermione, my little niece, of whom I told you. Most generally called plain Her, volunteered Hermione, who knew at once that she loved Mandy, hated Sally, was going to be great friends with the man-of-all-work, Nebuchadnezzar, and that for a while at least she would maintain a strictly neutral attitude toward her aunt. I hope you'll be happy here Hermione, remarked her aunt, as she led the way up-stairs, followed by Sally. How old are you? I shall have to arrange for your studies. I was ten at Christmas time, so now I'm ten and two weeks. But don't let my studies worry you, Aunt Phoebe. I'm not worrying about them. Well, we'll see, was the wise reply, as Mrs. Hampton led the way into a lovely pink and white room. A fire burned brightly on the well- brushed hearth, and the lights were lit, for the short winter day had quickly drawn to a close. Now, I'll leave Sally to unpack your bag. We don't have dinner until seven o'clock, so you had better lie down for a half hour. With this she went away. Sally went to the door and carried in the little worn traveling bag which Nebuchadnezzar had brought up. Yo' better lay down on the couch, Miss Hermione, she said, when she noticed that the small girl showed every evidence of intention to unpack the bag herself. I don't want to lie down. Really, I'm not tired, Sally, she pleaded. Missis's orders, was the brief reply as Sally took her by the hand and led her over to the couch, where she lay and Watched Sally remove the few pitifully worn garments from the bag. The shabby little school coat. the red tam, the play apron, even the best white dress, with the patched sleeve, were hung in brave array in the huge clothespress, like a miniature army ,in its weakness drawn up ready to fight against a mighty force, prancing about on white chargers and glittering with their brass and steel trappings, which of course were the fastening on the doors, and the prancing chargers were the white doors which Sally was opening and closing. But Hermione, half asleep, did not realize this, and just before she became entirely unconscious, she breathed a mute prayer for the valiant little army which she thought would certainly be swal- lowed up by the cavernous blackness within. When she awoke, several hours later, Sally was standing near with KERAMOS 41 a tray, upon which was arranged a tempting luncheon. Back of her stood Mrs. Hampton. I thought Sally told me you weren't tired, she remarked, her eyes twinkling as she noticed Hermione's flushed cheeks and bright eyes. Yet under her calm exterior, she was really feeling very anxious. Certainly it was a big move to receive a strange child, although a nice one and a dear little thing, into her home and heart which had been empty so long. Since her husbandis death, ten years previous, she had lived quietly with her servants, interesting herself in philanthropic work, but never in any work which so intimately affected her own life as to accept the rearing of a child with its attendant responsibility in education, clothing, health, and even amusement. I must have fallen asleep, Hermione observed sweetly. Yes, dear, I think you did, her aunt replied, her heart involuntarily going out to this adorable little specimen of happy childhood. Now, Sally will arrange the tray, and then she'll leave us, and we can talk and make plans to get acquainted. Although she had received the child rather coldly, Mrs. Hampton's stern sense of duty had never recoiled from her charge, even while she was still hoping that the death of her almost unknown but well-loved sister would not make it imperative for her to receive her sister's child. But while Hermione slept, Mrs. Hampton had looked down into the child's face, so like the little sister's with whom she had played many years ago. and suddenly a spark of love for this hapless little waif had flamed in her heart. Sitting by the couch while Hermione ate her lunch, Mrs. Hampton advanced plans for their life together. You can play with Billy Ashley and his little sister, she said. You shall have a governess to teach you in the mornings, also some new clothes. Oh, I'll have lots of fun dressing you up. You are too kind, Aunt Phoebe! exclaimed the little girl. You almost make me want to cry. Well, don't do that, dear. But I'll do my best to assist you to grow up to be a lovely and helpful woman, and you'll help me to be happy, won't you ? Yes,'l agreed Hermione, joyfully. -L. R. B.

HIGH SCHOOL Xwiw l E I O l l , The day of days for the class of 1916 ' . ,ti is upon us and We are now ready to receive our long-desired and long-strived-for diploma, and to enter the walks of life for which We are best fitted The four years of work and pleasure mingled .that have constituted our high school course have been our best days although it may take us several years. to realize the truth of this statement. We will in future years turn back with pleasant recollections to the r . Helen A u berger 54 KERAMOS days of joy during our course in E. L. H. S. and will envy those who are still striving for that which we have just attained. There is one thing, however, we must think of as we leave the doors of old E. L. H. S. behind, and that is, are we determined to make good and display the benefits we have herein obtained? Will we in time prove our worth outside of school and bring glory to the class? Graduation from high school means much more than merely a time when we complete our course of instruction and a time for congratulations and joy. It is a time to consider that which is to come in the future years. This class has done wonderfully well in everyhing it has undertaken and is leaving behind an enviable record in every manner of high school activity for the future classes to follow and excel, and now time alone will tell whether our success has been confined to school life, or a prelim- inary start for better things. We now can only say good bye, and at the same time wishing those who will follow us the greatest success that can come to them. 4-0+-O-O-G It has been suggested that East Liverpool ask for the Second'Annual Convention of the North-Central Association of High School Journalists, to be held next year. This association was fathered by the staffs of the Voice of South High and Rayen Record during the term of 1914-15 with the object in view to raise the standard of High School papers and to be a benefit to them. It would without a doubt be quite an honorable distinction for this high school and the Keramos to entertain the first meeting of this body held outside of Youngstown, Ohio. Each year this organization will become stronger and more bene- ficial. covering a larger scope of work. Would it not be an honor to the class of '17 to know they had responded and felt the good this association is sure to do by holding the meeting here. Every Junior, Sophomore and Freshman should begin to boost in order that we may have this honor. -0-GQ-0-0-7 A word to the coming Seniors in regard to the KeramoS is, we think, appropriate at this time when we are to leave and you are to take hold. Our advice is to begin work immediately upon the opening of school and have an October number as the first one. This would make seven issues a year instead of six. Another thing we suggest is that your papers be published the first of the months instead of the last, as has been the custom heretofore. This year's staff has met the problems of the Keramos and handled them to the best of its ability and we now wish the class of nineteen seventeen greater success with the paper than we have had. This success we assure you will only be obtained by hard, earnest co- operative work on the part of the staff. 56 KERAMOS ' x . P I: l 1 J ll ' 5 :fl 'ffiiiziigp Bob'l Whitlach believes in signs.

Jake Judy clings to the smile that won't come off. Have you found any girl in town yet, Richard '? Won't it be too bad when Elbert has to leave Sara '?

Harry Jones would like to have a date with Helen Laughlin. There's your chance, Helen. Dorothy Stein was absent from school as a result of her effort to swim in scalding water. We can hardly imagine Helen Auberger having discipline in any class she undertakes to teach. Eva Wasbutzky denies the charge that she broke Mr. Fryett's camera and refuses to pay the bill. Roberta Marshall doesn't know the way to school, so she is ably escorted daily to her duties. It is understood that Donald Larkins will accept a position in a Uni- versity, teaching solid geometry. Sara Huffman was horrified when she discovered the fact that her correspondent was a married man. Some one made the rude remark that when Walter Ashbaugh left school they wouldn't miss much as far as meat goes. Luther Parker rendered Mother at the Senior party. ' We also noticed he had several lemons, which gave him a very sweet voice. An investigation is to be held to determine which received the most injury-Frank's head or the catcher's foot-in their recent collision, KERAMOS Gur High School Our High School of white is the best in the State, You can always come early but never come late, To see the surprises awaiting for you, And the teachers all giving a How do you do. The courses are all what you call very fine, The building is new and right up to the time. The books that we use are furnished us free, If you don't believe us just walk 'round and see. Our basket ball team ranks second in State, Our football and baseball are right up to date. The coach and the students all work with a will And things go as easy as coasting down hill. The Freshies are small but don't care at all, But they hope to be big like the Soph'mores next Fall Their teachers are working with wonderous vim, And leave it to Mency to give them their gym. The '19's in numbers have us all beat, But in our athletics they cannot compete, Horton, Mc'Conville and Bryan are best, Yet we must pay tribute to all of the rest. The Soph'mores are champions of class basket ball, They've downed the Seniors, Juniors and all. They've courage and spirit with whole lots of pep, In just this two years they've won a great rep. They're social and gay and have their good times, At the Athletic EX. they've spent many dimes. They initiate Profs and win great applause, Just why did they do it? Their answer- Because To the Big Team the Juniors contribute no less Than Allen, Vorndran and Vodrey and Fess. The captain of football and '16 is Kidder, Of all proposed leaders no one was fitter. We like them-the J uniors-with spirit and fun, And next year will find them second to none. Of courage, bravery, get up, and dare, This class will surely contribute its share. The Seniors are dignified, loyal and true, And help boost the colors, the white and the blue. With manner sedate they all seem to say: Work hard, Under-classmen, you'll soon win the way. To glory and fame, as you see us now stand, Our books in our arms and our pens in our hand.

I am a Senior in High school and a certain Junior boy has quite a case on me. And there's a certain Senior boy that likes me. Now, Miss Fairfax, what shall I do about it? For the Junior boy gets very angry when I go with the Senior. As I like both these boys very much, tell me what I shall do. What is the rhyme about a dimple in the chin? I play the cornet in the High school orchestra. Do you think that is a nice musical instrument for a girl to play? I hope this letter is not too long? -L. B. Well, L. B., I believe I would have an understanding with the Junior boy and tell him that you like him, but only as a friend. The cornet is a very nice instrument. A dimple in the chin, A devil within. Yes, your letter is a trifle long. My Dearest Editor :-I am a very troubled maiden. Just now I am in love with two boys. The one, Luther Parker, I fear, is taken, and al- though I am larger than the other one, Julius, I don't seem to have any iniiuence with him. Kindly tell me which one to choose, and how to make him love meg also, how to quiet my fluttering heart when either one is near. Anxiously yours, -Mary A. Fraser. Yours certainly is a sad case, Mary. We have wondered why you acted so distracted the last few weeks. Now that we know, we think you certainly had sutlicient cause. Luther and Julius are both fine fellows. Our poor judgment is not capable of deciding, but We advise you to try the Ouija board. It never fails, so you may depend on what it tells you. Dear Miss Fairfax:- I am coming to you again for advice. I attended a class party last week and took one of the girls from my class. Now, the girl I go with from another class is angry with me. Now, what shall I do about it? Am only eighteen. Am I too young to keep steady company? Why do the girls like me so? Please answer this immediately. -Walter A. Now, Walter, the other must be of a very jealous disposition, so I wouldn't bother about that. You are entirely too young to keep company steadily, and ought to be still pouring over your books. I suppose the girls like you because you are jolly and are real good company. Dear Miss Fairfax:- I am a girl about five feet two inches tall and weigh about 107 pounds. I have brown hair and brown eyes, a small mouth, pearly teeth and a good complexion. Am I pretty? I am a Senior in school and am nineteen years old. Am I far enough advanced? Last week I attended a party in com- pany of a young man. We arrived too late? The young man asked me to kiss him good-night, but I wouldn't do it. Should I have kissed him? Also wish to know if it is proper for me to go auto riding at night alone with a young man? Thanking you for your kind advice, -Merle. Yes, Merle, from your description you are very pretty, and are far enough advanced. You are perfectly right not to have kissed the boy good- night. He will respect you better. imma THIILEWC ELH5 M5116 0 A W f Q QW 62 KERAMOS HIS passing year has proven to be the most successful one for this V up I school, we dare say, in its history, although We sincerely hope its magnificent record will be surpassed by the ensuing years from time to time. With few discouragements and many successes it has seemed as though we were living in the age of glory of the school, and from all sides victories have been our share. Let us glance at the football team for a moment to recall to our minds the splendid work accomplished by the blue and white eleven. Out of seemingly raw and green material, with few veterans to start with, a team that would bestow honor upon any high school was built and a record established such as this high school has not seen in a number of years. Then our basketball was indeed the banner sport, both teams having more or less territory in which they were hailed as champions. They were without doubt as good as any teams that ever represented this section in scholastic circles. The boys proved their worth in the grilling struggle for the state championship, and the girls' record was also of the highest ranking. Our attention must be called to the track, and although at this time we are unable to state any facts regarding this sport, we are confident that our team will make a creditable showing when the county meet is held. As to baseball, the conditions are similar to those of the track and the same optimistic views are held in regard to its record and success. In this general summary of the school's athletic activities, it is neces- sary to mention the spirit shown by the class football teams, as well as that shown by the class basketball teams, also of the high second basket- ball team, all of which points to early development and a fit training for the future years. , FOOTBALL. With possibly thirty candidates answering the call for football prac- tice, among them being a scant six or seven to be considered veterans. Coach Fess. with the aid of Mr. Harshman, undertook the task to produce a team that would in turn produce results in the way of victories. The task at hand for these coaches was admitted to be one of the most testing nature and would reouire the best of training and supervision. Neverthe- less, with the confidence and co-operation of the students, these men tackled the work put before them with the spirit that makes teams, re- gardless of the material with which they are to work. After several weeks of strenous working out, the team opened their schedule by losing the opening game to an all-star aggregation of former high stars by the score of 25 to 0. To manv this game brought to the minds of a great number the worn-out conclusion that the team was of no better caliber than those of the few preceding years, and that high school was in the same old boat. Following this game with errors corrected. the team administered a crushing defeat upon the gridders from New Cumberland. the score being 48 to 0. This game was followed by one of our sweetest victories of the year, the locals coming out on the large end with the old o E O Z 1: BJ r I- M O Z Lf. O un Z Q rn..

Front-Smith, Walters, Frost The Junior basketball team, although making a good record, failed to come up to the expectations of their followers, whose opinion was that they would win the class championship with little difficulty, but instead proved to be the runners-up, being defeated in the deciding clash with the Sophomores. Good talent along basketball lines was shown by this team, and it is expected that two or three of this squad will land places on the next year's varsity squad. 68 KERAMOS our men in championship form, we opened up on Archbold as our first opponents and eliminated them in easy fashion by the score of 42-7. We followed up this in the afternoon by defeating Warren 52-163 Galion the next morning 25-11, and wound up the series by defeating New Phillp in a heart-breaking game, 13-11. We returned to Delaware the following week and after defeating the Mt. Vernon team 34-33, in what was regarded as the greatest game of the tournament, the championship was rudely grasped from our hands by the Stiver High team from Dayton, who had won the title for the southern division. Liverpool played her hardest and has no alibi to offer, but we still maintain that we can beat Stivers High on any floor in the state. We were simply worn out by the furious morning game, whereas Stivers had a comparatively easy time defeating Marietta 30-16. We are content to be champions of Northern Ohio this year, but when we return in 1917 we intend to be reckoned with for the state title. For we have a fine nucleus around which we can build a great team. Those who will be lost by graduation are Captain H. Smith and Bucher. Smith is known through- out the state in high school circles for his ability on the foul lineg Ernest Bucher, whose all-around ability as utility man makes his position hard to fill, and Ronald Smith, who is by far the best center in this section of the country. Remaining are Nathan Allen, guardg Sumner Fess, a favorite for the All State team 5 Leonard Webber, William Vodrey, Irwin Vorndran, Laird Anderson and many candidates from the class teams. Locke Vodrey, Cheer Leader At the interscholastic games staged this year an important figure always on hand to sweeten victory and share the disappointments of de- feat. Much credit to him and he was deserving of more school spirit and support than he received. Red will remain another year in school and lead the school in its songs and yells.

This team showed a wonderful knowledge of the game and were returned the class champions as a result. Every member of the team is greatly responsible for the team's success, as team work was their slogan, and the effect was shown by their well executed passwork. Both Ander- son and Webber, in the early part of the season, were members of the varsity squad, but after being dropped, returned to the class league and displayed their ability and their class team to such an extent that they came through in the final games and snatched the rag, Allen did well at the pivot position, while Cannon and Whitacre, at forwards, did clever work and made many difficult baskets. Bryan and Mundy, at guards, did well and proved to be the obstacle in the path of the opposing forwards. Hall, utility man, was often found to be valuable to the combination. These boys accomplished something that is quite different from the usual run in the class basketball league, usually the championship being won by one of the upper classes. When they go on the floor next year as Juniors much can be expected from them. BASKETBALL HE above cut is that of thelclass basketball champions, who made 70 KERAMOS OR the first time in the history of the school a girls' basket ball team was organized to represent the school in this line of .athletic activities and as a result one of the best teams that will repre- A A sent the school was formed. A most pleasing record was estab- lished, with nine victories and two defeats. At the opening of the season several of the girls who had berths on the team had previously been members of the Y. W. C. A. teams. With this to work with Coach Mensforth succeeded in rounding out an excep- tionally strong sextet. It was thought at this time by many that the girls' team would not prove to be a self-sustaining sport, but instead it has proven to be a money-making proposition and will be continued in the future. This year's team was composed wholly of members of the Senior class, with the exception of two reserve players, and it will prove a task next year to duplicate the team of this season. Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon the players, every one of them being responsible for the splendid showing. Miss Vorndran, right forward, was the greatest point-maker, while her able partner, Miss Har- ries, figured greatly in the under basket passworkg the centers, Miss Ankrim and Miss Mackall, proved themselves worthy of their place by clever guarding and passingg the Misses Judge and Huffman, guards, will be hard to duplicate, even though neither are large in stature. Mentioning a word about the class league, we might say much inter- est was shown and a great amount of promising material will be found among those who have one or more years yet of high school life. Finally, it could be stated, in short, that the girls' basket ball team was a new triumph and was equally as successful as the other athletic teams. GIRLS' BASKETBALL. 0-Q-9-O-GO BASEBALL. HIS year we welcome baseball for the second season, that is, since this sport was revived in high school athletic circles. Until last Ktj1IQY' year the high school was never represented with a well organ- ized team, and for a number of years had no baseball team whatever. This season, however, promises to be quite different, as has already been shown by the great interest that the fellows have taken in this sport, and it is expected that a team of considerable merit will be rounded out. Manager Oyster has arranged a strenuous schedule and only a first-class team could hope to complete such a schedule with a good record to their credit. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Oyster for his splendid work in managing the team. - It is in baseball as it is in track, almost too early to make any definite predictions in regard to the success of the team, yet we are able to form some opinion after seeing the squad practice and noting those who are out for berths on the team. Captain Allen, of last year's team, will again be on the initial sack and will no doubt have a very successful season. Mundy will also be on the second sack and promises to do himself more credit than he did last spring. The diflicult position of shortstop will be ably filled by S. Fess, who needs no introduction in the way of athletics. Third will be filled by Manager Oyster in first-class style. The position behind the bat KERAMOS COUNTY CHAMPS From back-Frederick, Smith, Judge, Harries, Mackall, Huffman, Vorndran, Ankrim Mensforth, Coach 72 KERAMOS is somewhat uncertain, although Horton and Bryan are seemingly the favorites. Outfielders are numerous, and it will take much consideration to pick the three best from Jones, C. Horton, Fife, Forster, Smith and Curran. The pitching staff is also uncertain, although Sant and Fess will no doubt take their turn at heaving. New suits have been received and the team will put up as classy appearance as any team in the state when they trot on the field to hear the umpire cry Play Ball! Coach Lowell Fess, of the football team, will have charge of the base- ball team, and it is hoped he will duplicate his football work and produce a baseball team that will bring home the bacon. Sant, Oyster, Forster and Horton will be lost to the team next year. Q-9-9-0404-0-0-0--0-O-4-9 0-0-yo-Q-0-+ x FRESHMAN CLASS TEAM Back Row, left to right-Wa1ker,Jones, Hayes, P.

U T IS somewhat early to make predictions in regard to the success of the track team, although we are sure the team this school will produce will be of no mean rating. Spirit in athletics has seized the student body of the school and with proper spirit, a team can be formed out of seemingly a mass of green material, as was the football team. The athletic association of the high school voted to ask for the privilege of entertaining the county meet this year, but on account of protests from Wellsville, East Liverpool was defeated in their effort to obtain the meet, and instead it is to be held in the fair grounds at Lisbon. Mr. Shrick, coach of last year's team, Will again have charge and much is expected this year from those who have had two years under his charge. Smith, Bucher and Kidder will no doubt prove to be the best point-makers for us, yet many a dark horse may come to light when the teams line up for the contest on the Lisbon track.

The class of nineteen fell right in line when it came to athletic spirit and succeeded in producing one of the best teams in the girls' class league, and for some time were considered dangerous in regard to the championship.

Once upon a time Cas all legends beginj a wise man lived in a great city on the border of the desert. I cannot tell you the name of the great city. I do not even know the name of the wise man. I-Soth were forgotten thousands of years ago. Every caravan from across the great desert, every ship from over the great sea, brought someone who wished to be a pupil of the great wise man. Crowds of men, women and children followed him in the streets of the city. Even before the rising of the sun in the early morning a great crowd had encamped around his tent on the edge of the desert. They lovingly brought gifts to the sage-rough, uncut rubies, priceless rugs, tiny vials containing the perfume pressed from thousands of roses. But the wise man would have none of these presents. The great gift which Allah had given him should be shared freely with the more benighted of Allah's children. But before many years had passed the wise man realized that the band of his followers was becoming too large. What sort of a plan, then, could he arrange, by which he could teach such vast multitudes? One night, as he lay in his tent under the stars, an idea came to him, an idea that staggered him with its immensity. 80 KERAMOS The next morning he dismissed all his followers, comforting them with the assurance that his teaching would not cease, that there was a great surprise in store for them. So they scattered, some to the east, some to the west, some in caravans, some in ships. Then the wise man sent his servants out into the city to bring in all scribes. And when the scribes had assembled the wise man dictated to them the wisdom that he would have his followers know. And after long weeks of copying, we see bands of swift Arab riders setting out from the abode of the wise man, carrying parchment rolls containing his wise words to his followers living in the desert, in the mountains, or in the other great cities. If we were tracing the origin of the modern magazine, our story would close here. But we must go a few steps farther. Week by week, month by month, year by year, the wise man improved and enlarged his system. But he could not prevent anyone from copying his idea, as in our own day. Soon other wise men made use of the same system. Then the first wise man found that people were losing interest in his writings. One night he wandered out into the starlit silence of the vast desert and threw himself face downward on the sands. O, Allah, he prayed, I have toiled faithfully to distribute the fruits of thy gift to me. Show me wherein lies the error. All night long he lay there, but when the first crimson rays of the sun shot over the horizon he leaped to his feet and cried: Allah be praised! I have found the error. Swift riders were again dispatched, and this time they returned with parchments, the writings, or in modern sense, the magazines, of other wise men. The wise man's eyes brightened as he read them. He noticed ideas, variations that he had never thought of putting in his own parch- ments. He saw where the weakness lay in his own writings. So he set himself eagerly to work, making improvements. It is needless to say how his parchment became the best in all the land, how by noticing arrange- ment, subject matter, neatness, etc., in this paper, then in that one, he was able to issue a parchment roll famed far and wide for its interest. I say that it is needless to tell this, as it can well be left to the imagination, and the purpose of this tale has been accomplished. 4-0 O4 0-04--0 4-0--0-+0-04+-4000-0 Sparks, Sioux Falls, South Dakota-We are glad to see that the students of one high school can publish two such excellent papers as the Pulse and Sparks Your jokes are fine and so are some of your car- toons.

Keramos, East Liverpool, O.-Your editorials in this Uanuaryj num- ber are worthy of being mentioned, and also your cartoons.- Crimson and Gold, New Brighton, Pa. I Keramos, East Liverpool, O.-It would be a well balanced paper if the Literary Departments were increased by one or two stories.- Crimson and Gold, New Brighton, Pa. Keramos, East Liverpool, O.-The Keramos has what all school papers like to have-a very attractive cover. Your Literary Department this month does not come up to its usually high standard. Athletics in E. L. H. S. seems rather out of place in this department, but would be very suitable under Athletics, as a sort of review of sports in your high school. The Athletic Department is made more interesting by the short remarks before the write-ups of the different games. The essays on the lives of Lincoln and Washington show that you haven't neglected patriot- ism.- Oriole, Pittsburgh, Pa. Keramos is a new exchange, received this month. Your cuts are ex- Cellent. Your Athletic Department also shows spirit. However, your 84 KERAMOS Literary Department could be arranged better.- Utolagean, Kissimee, Fla. ' Keramos, East Liverpool, O.-Would be hard to improve. The cover is fine.- Reveille, Newark, O. ' Keramos, East Liverpool, O.-You have a fine paper. Your editorials are good. Why not one or two more stories in your Literary Depart- ment? We congratulate you on the victories of your basketball teams. Your cuts are exceedingly good. Come again.- Commerce Life.

Miss Sarah Smith, '15, now Freshman at Smith College, visited her parents recently. Eugene Reinartz, class of 1908, has won eighth place in a list of sixty applicants, for appointment as lnternes at the Philadelphia General Hospital. Announcement has recently been made of the marriage of Marie Holtzman, '15, and Thomas Faulk, '13, Harold Blake, '12, is to be congratulated for winning a position on the Varsity Baseball Team of Ohio State University. Miss Mary Starr, '10, who is now supervisor of music at Ashtabula Harbor, O., visited her home during the past month. Extracts from a letter written about a year ago by Daniel Webster, '97, who is at present engaged as a mining engineer in Mexico: Upon the death of Nellie Martin, class of 1913, the Alumni lost one of their most beloved and noblest members. We extend our deepest sym- pathy to her sister, classmates and many friends. The engagement of Miss Ethelyn Hobbs, '06, to Frank Williams, of New Castle, O., was recently announced at a luncheon given in her honor. Miss Hobbs is a graduate of Wellesley, and has always taken a prominent part in Alumni affairs. As practically all of the passenger coaches have been burned up, we had to content ourselves, when traveling, with a box-car that had been provided with benches. The occupants of the car were mainly disorderly Carranzista ofiicers. lt took a day to make a trip usually made in four hours. My work here will be to erect a plant for the manufacture of zinc oxide. On account of the war, zinc has risen from five cents to twenty- five cents a pound. My greatest difficulty will be in getting workmen, for there is actually nothing for them to eat. In the month of June, Monterey was at the worst stage of the famine, and it certainly was pitiful. Finally three cars of foodstuffs arrived, sent by the American Red Cross Society. Finally military authorities offered free passage on the trains. In one day twenty freight cars, loaded with people, left for Texas. In the KERAMOS 87 box-car in which I rode were, besides myself, another American, forty-six men and women, twenty-three babies and children, three chickens and two pigs. I sat on my suit case next to the two pigs, and next to me on the other side I happened to notice a boy just recovering from smallpox, so I got over on the other side of the pigs. We now have an automobile and can reach the border in seven hours. We are hoping, whatever happens, that America will not intervene. When the Americans took Vera Cruz in April, 1913, some American friends of mine were here alone with the Mexicans, who threatened to hang them if they didn't get out. 0+0++-o- I wish to sincerely thank the members of the class of '1 for the kind sympathy expressed in the sending of the beautiful flowers at the death of my sister, Nellie Martin. Leta S. Martin. +094+++9-0 00-0-60 0 0 9040-0- a Sophomore Party Quite different from former years, the members of the class of nine- teen-eighteen gave an informpmrty to the Senior class after school on Thursday, May the fourth, W 1 was a grand success, and appreciated deeply by the Seniors. ' This entertainment was originally planned to be held in the open at Thompson Park, but on account of the unfavorable weather it was de- cided to hold it in the building. On the program a little sketch was presented under the title As We Want It. This was carried out well by the actors and actresses Much comedy was contained in the lines of this playlet, which had the audience in a continuous uproar. Mr. Sarbin played several selections on the violin, which were enjoyed by all. Following the program a delightful lunch was served. After the lunch the party dispersed, everyone expressing themselves as having had a very pleasant time. The Party Committee of the Sophomore Class deserves special men- tion for their earnest work in making this party a success. 4000+000-A0000-Q Q-0-0-00+ A TALE OF TWO SENIORS. Two dignified Senior girls started out on that notable line called the Y. KL O. one day during vacation. They sped past the stop in blissful ignorance. What was the attraction, girls, the scenery or the conductor? When they had gone on some six miles the conductor approached and asked them if they'd prefer walking back or getting off at Lisbon and transferring. Needless to remark they chose the latter, and before they arrived they were given a tag, since they did not seem responsible for their actions. They were ushered to the waiting car, and owing to the tag, arrived safely at Camerons. When asked concerning the distance they replied that they supposed it was about fifty miles. Guess who they are. Shall we tell? Miss Norma Jester and our honorable class secre- tary, Miss Esther Wallover. 88 I KERAMOS XX , 7 . 1.

Then the car rolled on. 0-9-0-O-0+ As Miss Woodward remarked, Truth is a blessed and sacred thing, too sacred to be used except in an emergency.

The grouch thought he had hurt the man's feelings. and so he said: I didn't intend to hurt your feelings by saying you were born in a barn. That's the trouble boss.

She always studies her lessons with might, And when called upon always recites, This is the kind of a girl to admire, One that has a good desire. Although her beaus are from out of town, There is one here whose love is sound, She knows this for I never refuse, To do her a favor when she asks me to. You do not have to ask of me, For you all yourself can see, That she will make for some fellow nice, A beautiful, happy, lovely wife.
