YELL. Purple and Gold, Purple and Gold, We are the Sophomores you’ve been told. Remember us now, remember us when, We close our books in 1910. OFFICERS. PRESIDENT—WANNA KINTZLEY. SEC. TREAS.—CLARA LEMONS. CLASS ’10 Here’s to the class of 1910, There’s Marion Blake and her cousin Nat; And long may they remember Imogene Goff and Bess Lowe, When they first entered the E. H. S. Boyd Bunch and Stella who are near kin. In ’06, the tenth of September. And Lou Hatchett who is not slow. From the first they learned their lessons Bertha McCafferty and Susie Stone, fast, In English they were well known; Physiology, I atin and Algebra, Could make of them no drone. And when the second year began, Most all the familiar faces Were poring o’er their books again And keeping up their paces. And now their General History, Algebra and I atin too; And English and Geometry They think they will subdue. Miss Daisy White and George Rice, Mignon Carter and Clarice Clymer. And Bud Conway who always looks nice. Ethel Gladwell and Lottie Gillilan Clara Lemons and Ethel Sams, Sherman Schubnell and George Kossic Helen Empey whose “can’ts” are cans.” Then next to last is Wanna Kintzley And last is Marguerite Hubbard; And if any one’s name I have omitted. He surely will call me a great big lubbard. Motto: Ad Astra per Aspera. Colors: Purple and Gold. Flower: Cream Tea Rose. And when the last two years we finish, Which the class intends to do, El Reno High School will shed many tears, To hear it bid adieu. —Boyd Bunch, ’10. 31

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1910 Ever since the members of the present Sophomore class, trudged off to spend their first day at school in the Primary Depart- ment, they have been a source of much comment on account of their remarkable brilliancy and the ease with which they have mastered all tasks assigned to them. Indeed, so rapidly did they increase in wisdom that, when they took their places as eighth grade graduates, just forty in number, on the stage in the El R?no Pub- lic Library on the eve of that memorable twenty-fourth day of May 1906, it was ap- parent to all who witnessed this first great event in the history of their school life, that no greater class than this would ever be seen upon an occasion of this kind. Thus did the class win its way into the good opinions of the citizens of its native city, and entered the Freshman class of the El Reno High School on September 10, 1906 with a determination to learn all its secrets. Success comes to all deserving ones and, after many unsuccessful attempts and much debating on the subject together with some encouraging words from our patient professor, the class was organized. We elected officers, chose colors, motto, yells, etc., and provided for class parties, good times and various other diversions which make High School existence possible, pleasant and profitable. True, many of the large number have be- come discouraged and have dropped along the way, while others have gone elsewhere to enter institutions of learning, until only twenty-two of the “faithful remained to take up the work of the Sohpomore year. These have pushed bravely on with the vim and vigor characteristic of the class, mastering lessons, overcoming obstacles until only one more trial remains until they shall have passed the second mile- stone in their journey and be remembered not only as the most patient and long suf- fering of Freshmen and Sophomores but looked up to as illustrious Juniors. In truth, this class bids fair to become the main support of the dignity and honor of the Great and Grand El Reno High School. LOTTIE GILLILAN. ::2
