will C H A P T E R I.-1932-1933 Four years ago in September, 1932, 443 students, comprising the largest class in the history of Elyria High School, entered. Such a large class as this surely should have made a colorful history and it has done so. This was the first year that part of the freshmen attended jefferson junior High School on the West, side. VVith the students came four officials and teachers: blr. J. D. Severs succeeded hir. E. D. Adams as Assistant Principalg blr. J. F. Brown entered as Business Man- ager, llflr. Roy B. Clymer succeeded lllr, A. N. Smith as Athletic Director and Coachg Miss Ruth llliller entered as French teacherg and later lXIr. Bauer came as Light- weight Coach. All the classes were saddened by the death of Mr. R. L. Barth of the commercial department. It was this year that the football team worked extra hard for a good turkey dinner and brought Elyria a 26-O victory over Lorain. East Lynne presented and won several merits. This yearithe boys started assisting at light saving. C H A P T E R II.--1933-1934 As sophomores the class possessed a little more confidence. Already they were beginning to be a part of things. Although the NRA went into effect to bring shorter hours, we had an extra period added to our day. It was in this year that there were nine periods, and the school day ended at 3120 instead of the previous 2:35. The teaching staff was somewhat altered by the marriage of Miss Helen Gilbertg the departure of llliss lda Cofllandg the coming of Miss Marion Witt to the Art Classes formerly taught by bliss Gilbertg and the beginning of Miss Barbara Plocher's teaching Household Arts. This year seemed to be a year for alterations. The appearance of the building was changed in several ways. A new curtain Was hung in the auditorium during Thanksgiving vacation. A new floor was laid in Lincoln Hall during Christmas vacation, and new electric clocks were installed during Spring vacation. It was this year that the lightweight brought the school the first football champion- ship in the history of the school, but the heavyweights were beaten by that ancient rival, Lorain, 7-5. ln January the day was shortened again by fifteen minutes, and four lunch periods of one-half hour each were inaugurated. Students going home for lunch had to have special permits. In February the all school play, Mrs, Moonlight , won the bronze plaque at the Hiram College Contest, and Elyria won the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest in the Lake Erie League. C H A PT E R III.-1934-1935 The junior year opened with the retirement of one of the best loved teachers, J. J. Vaughn, who had never been absent or tardy in 32 years of teaching at E.H.S. This was the year of that memorable Lorain game in which the score was 0-O. :The heavyweight basketball squad brought the school the championship for the first UIUC. At an assembly in our school the Lake Erie League speakers presented their talks with Elyria getting second place. ' Sixteen
