Basic education was the foremost purpose with college preparation the final product. There were few ac- tivities, organizations, or athletics. In 190-lv there was no graduating class because in that year EHS became a four year high school. ln 1906 EHS fielded its first football team. Football lasted only two more years because of lack of interest. 1916-George Allen, Meryl Baker, Albert Brubaker, Flossie Clemmnns, Myrtle Curtis, Agnes Dolecek-Hloucal, Sylvia Dolecek, Nellie Duley, Roy Flanders, Alice Flanders, Wilber Hoffman, Bruce Hutchins, Emil Janou- ack, Olive Jennings, Minnie Mayer, Gladys 0'Donnell, Arthur Palmquist, Robert Patterson, Glen Patterson, Vera Rogers, Chester Rogers, Evclina Watt, Francis Wearing, Vin:-ent Wilson, Hazel Work 1917-Lloyd Bryan, Dorothy Carter, Marie Church, Dorothy Day, Vera Fishhurn, Tommy Foote, Leslie Fowler, Hortense Hoffman, Christine Kyler, Lewis Meek, Kenneth MeCrory, Eva Merkel, Adena Nienke, Albina Novak, John Novak, Emil Prochaska, Anna Slechta, Adaline Souchek, Ralph Veatch, Nat Woods, Elmer Huseman 1918-Bessie Adams, Gertrude Allen, Mary Bartunek, Allan Beatty, Eva Bower, Mary Brink, Ethel Chapman, Hazel Cline, Blanche Doleeek-Allen, Clara Grant, Elsie Huseman, Katherine Johnson, Nannie McCoy, Bessie McCoy, Kathleen O'Donnell, Nira Robinson, Anna Saunders, Viola Schmitt, Joe Seitz, Katherine Shaw, Mabel Smith, Mildred Storey, Vera Svaty, Robert Tanton, Raymond Urban:-k, Daisy Warner, Rose Warner, Tommy Wilson, Louise Woods

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

Main street at the turn of the century The biggest event of this decade was the arrival of O. J. Silverwood in 1908. For 39 years he was to be the superintendent of Ellsworth Schools. In 1908 music was first taught by Miss Culembeck. The Fairchild building was the home of the high school during this decade.
