At the beginning of this decade girls were the proficient EHS basketball players. But after the construction of the gymnasium addition to Fair- child the boys' teams were good-taking the 6th District Championship in 1916. The academic side of education was stiff. One of the two foreign languages offered-Latin and German-was required. There were few electives. In 1912 Manual Training and Domestic Science were offered for the first time. The topic of the 1912 Debate Team-Harry Hahn, Paul Hoffman, Fred Coover, Howard De- muth-was, Resolved: that the pending amendment to the Kansas Constitution granting women the full right of suffrage should be adopted. The class of 1918, first to be graduated from the new high school building, started the tradition of handing the key to the next graduating class. 5 The Taller, an annual, appeared in the spring of 1912. Push was a monthly magazine written by the students during the 1912-13 school year. ln 1920 the Athletic Association published the pam- phlet Oh Boy! to tell about all the activities of the high school. This was the decade of 1910-1920, full of prog- ress, new ideas, and fun. Barbara Janousek-Foote, Ellen Johns-Dawdy.
