The lilainnrua ltiatnrg nf Gilman nf 'IH It was only four years ago that our squad entered the doors of Elsinore High School. We were a large class and stood together despite the initiation. When we marched into the assembly hall we were a little bit shaky for fear we would do something wrong as most freshies do. We would sit and gaze upon the upper-classmen and won- der if we would ever be amongst them. But after being in school for a few months we had surprised the upper- classmen, not only by our good be- havior but at the numerous picnics we used to have. At the close of the first year we considered ourselves winners for the first race as we were all together just as we had begun. When we entered school again next fall we were no longer freshies but sophomores The worst part of our second year was that three of our boys had left us and only thirteen of us were left to begin the second race. Stanley Maver was the president of our class and Christine Jenkins and Clara Slosson were on the first basketball team. Most of the boys were either on the basket- ball team or the base ball team. That year we took geometry. Ralph Vaughn was the shark in that class. Ethel Hall and Margareta Wiberg entered our squad that year and Christine, our bas- ket ball shark, left us to attend school at Redlands. We treated the Student Body to two parties that year but treat- ed ourselves to more. The school put forth an annual that year and one of our class was appointed business man- ager. We thought ourselves progress- ing quite rapidly. Time flew on and our Sophomore year was soon ended. Then came the third year. Juniors! At last we were upper-classmen. My but we were proud. We had a meeting the first thing and Stanley was again elected president. Our class had dwindled con- siderably, but we did not lose heart. Nothing eventful happened that year. Only that we were all taking geometry again. We never could quite under- stand whose fault it was. Last-but in no sense least-the last year. our Senior year, dawned upon us. our days were was just right We fully realized that numbered. Everything to start the new year or rather the last was that there For the fourth year. The only trouble were only four of us. time we made Stanley, our only boy class-mate, president. He is not only president of our class but president of the Student Body. School had not been in session long before the terrible flu epidemic was in our midst and school was closed for two months. During that time the most loved girl by all the school and our classmate, Clarissa Robb, was taken by the flu. When we all came back to school we were all very sad, especially we Seniors, who are now only three in number. About January Beatrice Clark came into our squad, and now we are know as the big four. Although there are only a few of us left, we still have heart for we are well represented. in social and athletic functions. We entered the forensic contest, sent representatives to the tennis tournament, and played in basket ball games. We are giving a play named A Box of Monkeys. We also have our class rings and have made our numerals 19 across the Lake. Of the ones that entered school four years ago with us, these may be noted. Noble Strickland is working on a ranch near Elsinore with his brother. Jay Noviak is at home with his parents. Ethel Thompson is graduating this year at Hemet High School. Ora Thompson is in the navy. Ola Vaughan is a ser- geant in the aerial service, and Ralph Vaughn is second lieutenant in the same service. Elizabeth Nienke is now a Iunior, since on account of her moth- er's illness, she was unable to attend for a year. Cyrus Slo-sson is working for the Santa-Fe at Escondido. Wilma Por- teous is attending business college at Riverside. Marguerita Wiberg is at- tending business college at Los Ange- les. Ethel Hall is living at Los Angeles. Harley Watts is a chauffeur in Pasa- dena. We realize now that we must soon leave our dear old high school which for four years has been our home. We leave with the hope that future classes will spend as pleasant and profitable a time at Elsinore High as we have ex- perienced in the past. Here's to Elsinore High School, Where we've spent many happy hours. Here's to the future Seniors, May their joys be as great as ours. MARTHA MCSWAIN '19.

Gillis iilninnruu In conclusion: Clara leaves her tennis shoes to the highest bidder, Stanley leaves his old dirty gym suit to whoever will wash itg Beatrice leaves to Elizabeth the right to flirt with the janitorg Martha leaves to Mabel her ability to tell the teachers what she thinks of them. In witness whereof the Seniors of '19 has caused their corporate name to be signed to this Last Will and Testament of nineteen hundred and nineteen. Attest: THE BIG FOUR. T0 THE SENIORS When the seniors' last ex is over, and their pens are Worn and dry, When at last their course is completed, and they leave Elsinore High, They can't rest tho they need it-to lie down for a year or two, For the motto of the true senior will set them to work anew. Some that were good will be happy, they shall sit in a college chair, Some will splash on a wonderful can- vas, with their brushes and greatest care. They will have all professions to choose from-singers, teachers and allg They shall work foryears, not forget- ting what the high school gave to all. And tho no teacher shall praise them, and tho' no teacher shall blame, No one shall work for money and no one shall work for fame, But each work for the joy of working, and each in his or her star. We shall always cherish the memory of the Seniors e'en tho' they're scattered afar. BERT WALKER--'20, 1-pnlg aogiuaag H. ellll-1 .qu . .Meqs :qv . ' '3ui3uiS' .Sapp AOB. . .
