C. H. S. and found our seats the first Monday in September, 1919. There our teach- ers found us, meek as little lambs. We accepted the taunts and looks our superiors gave us and willingly took into our hands what they had dis- carded. Soon after school began we had a meeting and chose our officers: President, William Schenckg Vice-president, Harry Stotlerg Secretary, Earline Weeks, and Treasurer, Millard Day. We also selected our class colors, Blue and Gold 5 class flower, Yellow Rose, and our motto, Ad Astra per Aspera CTO the stars through difficultiesl. There were only five of us that started together in the first grade. Two girls and three boys, Della Brown, Mary Demick, Millard Day, Wil- lard Deford and William Schenck. Our class has grown considerably since then. In the eighth grade we picked up Earline Weeks, Margaret Seltzer, Irma Caldwell, Lucile Flint, Freda Bohrer, Elsie Manuel, Walter Dalton, William Jaques, Wesley Dawson, Harold Whitten, Cornelius Kemp, and Harry Stotler. When we entered High School we gathered still more to our group and made it a class of thirty-one. They were: Margaret Ekstrand, Elva Wolford, Pearl Clinch, Leah Maher, Katherine Cusack, Everett Epley, Paul Miles, John Vohland, John Cullings, Donald Schultes, Cecil Coon, Lester Turl, Floyd Brown, and Robert Myers. Some have dropped out of our class since our Freshman year, but others have taken their places and we still have a class of thirty-one. Doris Colvin and Dorotha Young joined us in our Sophomore year and Donna Kirkbride, Edith Stevens, and Ralph Melville, this year. Freda Bohrer stepped out of our class to enter the state of matrimony without consulting any of the rest of us. We are looking forward to the following year, as being one of the happiest and most successful, when we will leave our Alma Mater and enter upon the journeys of life. We realize that when we are gone there will be a vacant spot in the E. C. H. S. Assembly Hall, as we feel satisfied that there never was and never will be another class like ours. After we have left our Alma Mater, we can look back upon the happy days of our High School life, especially our Junior year, and long to hear once again the gentle voice of Miss Smith calling Keep out of the halls, Keep out of the halls.
