EP-HANIAN 1927 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Many of the manuscripts and scrolls of ancient history signified that people from the primitive stages of development were accus- tomed to write about their habits and general customs for those who came after them. And so as the class of 1927 nears the termination of its happy and enjoyable high school career, it wishes to inscribe on the tables of time a brief account of its existence as an organ- ized body. As is usual and befitting, we approached and entered the awe- inspiring and stately corridors of East Palestine High School as a meek freshman class. We were wholly unacquainted to the bigness of our surrounding or with the reality of our superior advancement, but the upperclassmen, being gifted with a thorough understanding of all these things, willingly conducted us to our respective class- rooms. Green paint, the Freshie varnish of initial sophistication, soon faded and we began to respect and appreciate our new Alma Mater with all the animation of our tiny hearts. Friendships were made, rules obeyed fmost always! and a general co-operation between our class and our superiors was introduced. An active educational institution of any type must be awake and sociable. Each member should be inclined to enter its functionings if it is to progress. In response to the general summons, a number of our classmen took part in Bimbo, the musical comedy. It was after this public appearance with the Seniors that we forgot o11r shy- ness and became acquainted in a sociable way. Not only plays but also athletics claimed a number of our mem- bers in its ranks. Track, basketball and football were the shining beacons of the boys, while the girls adhered to basketball alone. Orchestra, Glee Chorus, Taggart Prize oratory, dramatic plays, operetta, clubs, the High School paper and the Ephanian, all were deemed successful through the earnest energy of the class of '27, The Ephanian should be given unusual acknowledgement since it was transformed from the customary size to the small book-type edition. Attractive and noticeable features reflecting the class originality and ingenuity stand out as an example of the 1927 Seniors and their ability. For a brief recollection, the classmen will appreciate, I am sure, if I mention the fact that the class felt the stress of finance in its Junior and Senior years. The difficulties were overtrodden, however, through the endeavors of sponsor and student in a bake sale which aided in giving the Seniors a banquet. In our last year the Lyceum pressed heavily for awhile, but ended as well as could be expected. These are but a few of the numerous activities which the class promoted during its four years as an organization. But since space is limited and time closes its folds about us, it becomes necessary to conclude this history. The class loathes to leave the school and its friendships, but the future awaits greater achievements for all of us. As the candle of the 1927 school term flickers and expires we shall cease to exist, as a unit, but we shall be just our own individual selves. Our parting wish is, The best of success to our successors. KENNETH R. KELLER.
