One by one we came to school and very quietly entered the assembly and sat down in the first seats we came to. lVe did not have recitations that day, but enrolled our names and subjects. Those coming from the eighth grade were: Ruth Eslinger. Edith Worley, Minerva Carlson, Pauline jarmen, Lorena Fleisher, Ruth Shively, Louise Macy, Agnes Kelly, Lela Murphy, Nina Threw, Jeanette Coolidge, Myrtle Flickenger, Vernon XVinn, George Fleisher, Lyle Faggote and john Holt. Those joining us from the country were: Etta Vohland, Opal Lindzey, Iona Rambo, Harold Oakes, Keonard Wlindish, Chester and Carl Patton and -lessie French. Two of our members left us-Nellie Gibbs, who moved to lNilmette, Illinois, and Everett Dawson, an Oak Hill boy, who moved to North Dakota. On February I3 we gave a farewell party in honor of these two. Our career as Freshmen has been full of fun and good times, also some hard work, but we shall always remember our first year in E. C. H. S. and cherish it as one of our happiest memories. So we did bid good-bye to our baby days and are planning for the years that are coming and when we .shall be Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. L. F., '24. The clock just struck It is midnight and past, I'm working very hard On a diflicult task. I have plenty of trouble lfVith no end in sight, I've been sitting here now About half the night. The book is mixed up I can't do it at all, I'm thoroughly discouraged And about to bawl. My eyelids are heavy, I have a poor vision, My head being empty Don't come to a decision. I start to think. Then some way or other, I think of someone. Most times my mother. I wish I could work When the sun is high, Then when darkness came I would not need sigh. I never could work late I can't do it now, How some can stand it I don't know how. I want to take to my bed, And there to stay, l1Vhen another night comes To do the same way. I think I'll get married To finish my strife, And I will live happy The rest of my life. C. F.
