SENIOR President. .. . Vice-President Secretary..... Treasurer.... Motto ........ Colors........ In the fall of 1903 some thirty-nine boys and girls entered the El Reno High School, and as fate decreed It, they have become known as the illustrious Class of ’07.” During the first term of their new school life they mas- tered their studies, much as all Freshmen did before, do now, and will continue to do, saying High School was fun. they did not have to work or study and the teach- ers gave short, easy lessons. If they did it was only because they judged the would-be-scholars to be un- able for heavier work. During the term of ’03-’04 these Freshmen organized, held class meetings, had good times, and various other things, but as the Sophomore star dawned they realized that fun was a thing of the past and that hard study was their lot for the future; some grew discouraged and dropped out of the class and High School life, but the faithfuls pushed bravely on. Having overcome Caesar and Geometry the Sopho- mores felt much more able to compete with the other classes for first place in valor, heroism, class spirit, etc. In the spring of 1905, the class of that year flung their banner to the four winds and the Soph’s immediately becoming angry, tore the emblem Into shreds, and broke CLASS .....Della Roberts. ...Hazel Jackman. ........Pearl Dlx. .....Effle Dowell. .....Immer Hoher Orange and White. in upon the wrath of the powers that be. I will mention here the fact that no more class emblems were seen on the flag staff. One night the class of ’06 got busy” and climbing the standpipe to a dangerous height placed thereon the Initial of every member of the class in flaming yellow paint. The next morning the Sophomores cast dark glances in the direction of the Juniors but they received only smiles in return. At nightfall the inhabitants in the vicinity of the stand- pipe were horror struck to see a figure slowly and labor- iously climb to the very top of the great structure. There the valorous Sophomore placed the Initial of all his class- mates and changed the former inscription E. H. S. ’07 to E. H. S. '06. The Juniors did not attempt to avenge themselves. As Juniors this great class of '07 were known as the most cunning, sly and courageous in school.

It seemed to every inmate of the institution as though those Juniors Just about ran the whole place. Lunches, picnics, cut classes and every thing imaginable, to worry and distress poor Zip,” as they irreverently called their professor. And yet, through it all the class, as a whole, did splendid work, (they entertained the graduating class of 1906 with one of the finest receptions in the history of the High School.' German. Physics, English Literature, and other slight obstructions, having been conquered, those Juniors carae back one bright September morn in 1906, as Seniors. At this time the class numbered only eleven, but they had the strength of many, indeed, it seemed almost that this class had believed and lived up to the theory of the survival of the fittest. Two boys and nine girls. Eight girls of the nine with the aid of four of the girls of ’08, formed a Basket Ball team and did some very commendable work. And now the Seniors are almost at the stopping point or rather nearing the first mile-stone on life's broad way. We, their fellow students, wish them all success, and are confident that they will win, for they will each, and every one. show that dominant spirit that so characterized their school life.
