THE ULMUS 21 Qrilassi ilaisturp Seven little tots of the class which entered the Elmwood High School-in I908 have trudged through the long' years to form the nucleus of the now brilliant graduating class of I920. They were Ralph Bacher, Bruce Mullen, Helen Lindzey, Ferne Threw, jennevieve Riner, Anna Grumley and Frances McCarty, also lona Lyons and Elliott Burt who stuck by us nearly to the finish. ln the grades we made a considerable increase in our number. adding Birdella Harkness, Mona Ristine, Adrienne Herbert, Howard Carter, Harley Green, and Elsie Dalton, the last one leaving our class to be joined in the Holy Bondsof Matrimony. Later we added john Nickerson and Sebastion Colombo. ln the grades we were always vieing with one another for the desirable first place, thus keeping our marks up to the standard in the eyes of the teacher. At the end of the year of l9l 5 we were looking forward with hope and expectation of entering that new life of High School work. ln September l9l6 we hurried to school to secure suitable seats, and we found these added to our class, Hazel Gutshall, Ruth Thatcher, Gladys Archibald, Elva Peters, Verna Miles, Alta Cusack, Mary Dwyer, Viola Schulthes. Viola Manock, Alta Johnson, Marianne Clinch, Mary Cusack, Owen Lindzey, George Gutshall, Harry Stalter, Louis Stalter, Forrest Reed, Dean Threw, Paul Hammond, Roy Keeling, Harvey Van Sickle, Rachel Holt and Mildred Higgins. Q One night after school during our Freshman year, we went to the woods with Miss Erlbacher and Miss McElwain as chaperons. We played games and roasted weiners. Gerald jarman, moving from South Dakota, joined our class during our Sophomore year. During this year the Botany class under instructions of Miss Millizen, went to the woods on observation work. On Hallowe'en we were entertained by lona Lyons. Games were played and a light lunch was served, after which we departed for home wishing that Hallowe'en would soon return again. ln our Junior year, Anna Trowbridge, coming from Williamsfield, joined our number., April 25th of this year we delightfully entertained the class of 1919 and the faculty at a reception. A comedy, A Case Against Casey was presented. Games and dancing furnished amusement for the rest of the evening, after which a light lunch of sandwiches, ice cream, cake and coffee was served. All departed at a late hour, declaring they had enjoyed the evening and wishing the juniors could entertain them again. W Our Senior year has been a busy one. Doris Shively, returning from New York, again entered E. H. S. as a Senior. We presented our first class play A Little Clodhoppern on january 26th and our second one Miss Somebody Else May l3th, both with considerable success. All the members of the class have worked hard, selling pop-corn balls at the Basket Ball Games, in order to start a fund for the completion of our Year Book. Now we are leaving High School and we are all happy that we have reached the goal for which we worked four hard years. ' H. L.-F. M. 'Z0.
