Since then there have been more than 2,000 graduates, two successive school buildings, and many tradi- tions and customs. Graduation from EHS has become a family tradi- tion among families such as the Flanders, Seitz, O,Donnell, Cadwell, and Allen families. These are only a few of the families in which succeeding generations have gone to EHS and acquired an undying loyalty to their school. Above and to the left is the class of 1894. When they were seniors there were only three years of high school-Freshman, Junior, Senior. There were few electives and school was from 9 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. The class motto was, To the stars through difficulty. In order to graduate all the girls had to read an original es- say and each boy had to give an original ora- tion. This was done at the commencement exercise on the stage of the Masonic Hall, now the Golden Bell Theatre. After the establishment of Ellsworth in 1867 and the coming of the cattle trade in 1871, Ellsworth had become a cowtown of the frontier. In 1875 the railroad moved west, taking the business which had made Ellsworth famous and infamous. So Ellsworth turned to agriculture, and religion and education were part of this new life. 1906-Emma White-Hummell, Edith Fishburn-Trubey, Lillian Brown, Dollie Flanders-Allen, Carol Pohlman, Charles Wahl 1907-Florence Cadwell-Bates, Carrie McLaughlin, Jessie Hissem, Nora Phelan, Henry Hoffman, James Nelson, Susie Phelan, Roscoe Holt 1908-Harry Becker, Lena Bender, Fred Curry, Georgia Forkner, Ruth Freeman, Emma Grubb-Rolfe, Leo Hain, Lee Hoffman, Ruth Huycke, Bernice McLaurin, Florence Shade, lzora Summers-Strstman, Blanche Thorpe, Roy Baldwin, Louis Barofsky, Bessie Helm, Alma Hummell, Carl Nienke, Mary Kulick, Edda Higham 1909-Grace Allan-Sheridan, Florence Anderson, Elizabeth Bisbee, Mabel Brown, Ray Eldridge, Mabel Faris, Josie Flanders, Ruth Flanders, Rita Work, Ethel Nunamaker, Grace Cook 1910---Agnes Fisbbum, Florence Wearing, Julia Murray, Leila Schmitt, Dessie Hall, Pearl Sheldon, Helen Becker, Edna Cook, Pearl Smith 1911-Violet Cochrane, Vera Beyler, Mildred Harmon, Edna Shade, Lillian Allan-Bailey, Stella Duley, Clair 0'Donnell, Willie Spicer, Thomas Hite, Harold Huycke
