dered us a reception which will always be remembered by the Class. May 28-29, we gave our class play, What Happened to Jonesf' The following were in the cast: Robert Savage, Allan Bates, Her- man Lovejoy, Glen Davis, Milton Stearns, Perry Daly, Leo Mar- tin, Mildred Corfman, Margaret Klein, Harriet Sheffield, Marjorie Francis, and Gladys Slater. The usual social good times prevailed at graduation as they have done in years past. Our class reorganized in Sept., 1918, at which time the fol- lowing officers were elected: Ray Baker, President, Isabelle Rob- son, Vice-President, Naomi Marsh, Secretary, and Allan Bates, Treasurer. Later on in the year it was necessary to choose an- other President, due to Ray Baker's enlistment in the U. S. Mer- chant Marine. This meeting was held Nov. 19, 1918, and Glen Davis was elected President. This year two more of our fellows, Sterling Hadaway and Bruce Gibbons, enlisted, but were mustered out shortly after the Armistice and returned home. In closing let us thank again all who have in any way helped to make our High School life so pleasant and enjoyable. , WILLIAM D. HUMPHREY, Class Histowfm. lil

The last big event of our Junior year was the J unior-Senior Reception given by our class in the High School, April 26. This affair was a big success, and our class was justly proud of it. Yet, again, while our Junior year was full of work outside the Class Room, We, nevertheless, maintained our record there and exhibited the same spirit that had characterized our Work of the preceding years. In closing our Junior year let me mention the enlistment of Arthur Lockard and William Head. September, 1918, proved the goal reached. We were now dig- nified and studious UD Seniors, seventy-one in number. To the Faculty We largely owed our position. Their kind help and care eased our Way considerably, and We realize that no Words of ours can adequately thank them. Yet We hope to show by our after lives that their teachings were not in vain. Members of the Faculty of Elyria High School, we try to express our sincere thanks to you. We now occupied a high position, and one which carried much work With it. We were into everything. In the Senior-Junior Hi-Y, With Ted Smith, President, and Herman Lovejoy, Secretary, in the girls' Friendship Club, with Gladys Williams, President, in the Senior French League, with Naomi Marsh, President, Josephine Lockard, Vice-President, Helen Holcombe, Secertary, and Mildred Austin, Treasurer, in the Spanish Club, with Louise Johnson, President, and Glen Davis, Treasurer, in the English Club, With Eva Mackey, President, and Muriel Reisinger, Secretary, in the Orchestra, with Walter Hines, Ass't Director, and Helen Holcombe, Sec. and Treas., on the Elyrian, with Eva Mackey, Editor-in- Chief, Leo Martin, Business Manager, and Mildred Corfman and Walter Hines. The outstanding event in Athletics this year Was the defeat of Lorain in Football, Oct. 6, 1918, with a 9--0 score, which left no arguments. On the Varsity were Ray Baker, Allan Bates, Robert Savage and Perry Daly. Baker was also Captain of the Varsity Basketball Team. The Senior class this year had a basketball team captained by Herman Lovejoy and second to none in the Inter-Class League. Practically all the members in the class were active in these various organizations. Social life during our last year was rather conspicuous by its absence. This was due largely to the prevalence of Flu -in the first part of the year. The first dance held was an impromptu one, celebrating the defeat of Lorain. Our reception to the Juniors, which was to have been held Oct. 31, 1918, Was postponed on ac- count of the afore-mentioned Flu, and was held March 14, 1919, in the Tech Building. The Reception Play, A Case of Suspensionj was ably presented by a talented cast. In April the Juniors ten- ii 7 B ,J
