1912! One fine, Warm day, four years ago, Went passing thru our door, Twelve score Freshmen, No less Wise-men, Their voices all a-roar. Confusion reigned in E. H. S. They could not find their rooms. But soon that fall, Was settled all, Then tests began to boom. The lessons, tho strange, so hard and long, Were conquered by them all. These Freshmen true, Tho Wise-men too, 'Came Sophies in the fall. And so they strove from year to year, Some dropping by the Way, That goal to see Which was to be Commencement as their day. The time has come for this Class of ours Nineteen hundred nineteen, To bid adieu To this dear school To teachers, pals, and team. The efforts of the faculty That helped us to this day, We'll ne'er forget This one great debt, As victors will We pay. In leaving you, dear E. H. S., And speaking all in truth, You are the best By every test, Is what we say to you. We now go take our places there With the Alumni folk. Our Work here done, Another begun, We start with cheer, not loath. Georgia M. Burt, '19 9

ifiatnrg nf the Qllaaz 1515 The year of 1915 will always be remembered by the Class of 1919. In that year 233 Freshmen entered High School. We were fresh, green, anything you will, but we didn't feel it. We all felt that the life of E. H. S. depended upon us. We started out to keep it going. Whether we did or not this history will tell. Our Freshman year has little of historical value in it beyond the daily routine of school life. Yet we entered a few activities and thus identified ourselves with High School life. The Freshman- Sophomore Girls' Y-Hi elected two of its officers, Georgia Burt and Helen Holcombe from our class, the Freshman-Sophomore Boys' Hi-Y chose Paul Stewart of '19 President. We were off the ways and started at last. With the coming of Sept., 1916, we held our heads a little higher and pitied the incoming class. We could do so now because we were Sophomores with all the privileges that the name entails, but, alas! we were only 143 in number, 90 having fallen by the way. This year we entered every branch of school life. We were repre- sented in the English Club by Mildred Corfman, Secretary, in the Girls' Glee Club by Gladys Williams, Secretary, in the orchestra by nine members, in the Freshman-Sophomore Hi-Y by Allan Bates, President, and Ray Baker, Secretary, in the Freshman- Sophomore Girls' Y-Hi by Florence Starr, President, and Mar- garet Klein, Treasurer, on the Elyrian by Eva Mackey and Robert Savage, and in Athletics by Ray Baker. A large majority of the class were active members in these various organizations. We even tried our hand at interior decorating and all who remem- ber the auditorium, Christmas, 1916, know the results. In the spring of 1917 we lost four of our fellows thru enlistment. They were: Tom Greer, Jimmy Dillon, Don Barber, and Edwin Morgan. We are all proud to call these fellows classmates. Yet while we were active in all the activities in and about our school we did not altogether neglect the class room. Any of our teachers will tell you that Eva Mackey was our honor student for this year. Nineteen Seventeen found us Juniors, 132 in number, ready to carry on for another year. Our class was organized this year, the first meeting being held Oct. 31, 1917. At this time the fol- lowing officers were elected: Allan Bates, President, Ray Baker, Vice-President, Helen Holcombe, Secretary, and Mildred Corf- man, Treasurer. As usual the Class of '19 was represented every- where. In the Glee Club by 15 girls with Isabelle Robson, Presi- dent, in the Orchestra by eleven members, in the Literary Society by twenty-four members, while almost every girl belonged to the Friendship Club KY-Hij or Patriotic League. We were represented on the staff of the Elyrian by Don Savage and Ray Baker, man- 10
