THE BUZZER 1927 Memories Virgil Camm '27 I September. The frequent odor of cedar of freshly sharpened pencils. The crackling of new books. Clack, clack, clack of cleats on stone steps. Leaves- brown leaves, red, yellow leaves. School colors. Yellow slickers. Young laugh- ing girls. II Gay colors. Cheer leaders. I-Iere they come. A long line of boys running onto the Held. Head gears. The long white lines ten yards apart. III A party in the Gym. Guests arriving. The ascending whine of a heavy door- a pause-then a rattling bang as it closes. Pale green and pink dashes of color glide silently across the floor. Silver slippers. A moaning saxophone. Groups in the hallway, chatting, laughing. ' IV Lights in shop windows in the village. Red and green everywhere. Beautiful colors-orange, yellow, green, red-shine from the stained glass windows of the church on the freshly fallen snow. V Night. White moon. Livid white moon. Cold moon. Clank, clank, clank of chains against the fender of a passing car. Clank, clank, clank-fainter, piercing the night air. Gone. Cold silence. I VI Icy walks. Students hurrying to classes. Red cheeks. The flap, flap of galoshes. Noon. Boys hatless,coatless. VII All the fellows at Bob's. Panting, out of breath. The thumping of chairs. The odor of hot chili! Groups at tables, coins on a glass show case. Sliding, jingling dishes on tables. VIII Slush, rains-no one minds the rains. A parade of slickers, fur coats, double- breasted overcoats down Chardon Road. A crowd at the corner. The low drone of a bus horn. IX A twilight evening in May. The twang of tennis racquets. Sweet fragrance of apple blossoms. Soft feminine voices from beneath the apple trees. A pale yellow moon. Shadows gone. Night. X Soft melodies. Beautiful girls with bouquets of roses. Diplomas, tears. The air filled with rich perfumes. Soft, warm, southern breezes. Memories. Memories. l9l

THE BUZZER 1927 Junior Class History The largest Freshman class that ever came bounding through the doors of Euclid High School entered with its forty-six members in the year of 1924. We completely overflowed the room which had been set aside for all Freshmen in by- gone days, so after politely requesting the juniors to move, we held possession of two out of four of the home rooms in the High School. Almost all the boys in Richmond Heights seemed to be Freshmen that year and came down from their heights to join and enlarge the band. We Freshmen escaped with only a light case of initiation, being decked for only a couple of periods with slight tokens of green crepe paper. In a class of this size opinions, of course, would be wide and varied. This fact was brought to our notice when class colors had to be decided upon. After a long and memorable debate, scarlet and gray won out, in spite of the fact that most of the class wanted something else. The rest of the High School honored us by attending our Kid Party-the first that we ever attempted to give-and helped make it a success. As Sophomores we had our chance to initiate the Freshmen and to experience the feeling of being a part of the real upper classmen -that feeling of lord- ing over someone. e Sophomores always get their share of being called wise fools . We had the usual amount of this to make up for our abbreviation of an initiation. By the time we became juniors we had lost quite a number of students from the large class we started with. Even so, we now have one of the largest classes in school, the boys outnumbering the girls. The junior class play was the first chance for some of us to show what we could do on the stage before a large audience. Stop Thief will be cherished by its actors until the next opportunity comes along in dramatics. If we haven't lived up to the high standards that have been set for us, we will endeavor to make up all the lost time in our Senior year and leave a favorable last impression upon the students and our teachers. llll
