CLASS HISTORY itlC QS'lN the year 1906 a class of twenty members g I began their school life in -the Primary 5 E grade. Three of these have battled the 9i ' x waves successfully. Their success in that year is much attributed to the skill and high ideals of their teacher, Miss Rebekah Rice. The three are Helen Hamilton, Frances Hamilton and Mayme Mat- thews. The following year the kindergarten work was dropped and shortly after the beginning of the second term for this small class, eighteen more members joined them in the race. Among these were: Bertha Smith, Herbert Gray and Ralph Johnson. When, with thirty pupils we entered the second grade, there were many heavy hearts, because we could not again have Miss Rice for our teacher. But we soon fell in love with our new left-hand teacher, Miss Foss Cummings, who helped us bear our loads thru both the second and third grades. It was in the third grade that Walter Schneider joined our class, and has proven himself faithful to the end. At the close of this 'term there were twenty-nine members on the class role. The next term we were instructed by Miss Katherine Kinsey. In this year another of our victorious class- mates, Flora Drumm, who came to us from the coun- try, lifted her share of the class burden with the others, who now numbered twenty-seven.

O1-no EDITORIAL REMARKS OLD FATHER TIME has pushed the hands of the world's clock forward and we, the Class of 19I8, are leaving this school life for the school oflile. As a parting gift from us to the dear old school. we have published the ninth edition of Y1lHE tLoAL. We cer- tainly hope it will please all our customers and altho' we have had to raise the price per eopy we feel that the higher price will not lessen tht- interest ofour school patrons. We also wish to thank all who have aided in making this edition of THE GOAL a success, the advertisers, the subscribers, Prof. Sindlinger, and all others who have so loyally supported us. SCHOOL children will find that this year their bit to win the war may be a big bit if they choose to make it so. Any vacant plot of ground should be sufhcient cause for a boy entering a poultry, pig or corn club. For the girl who has a few minutes spare time each day there are the clothing and food clubs. Co in it with all your might and beat father and mother and while you are earning a little pin money you are sending food to a starving boy and girl in Europe. Miss Minnie Porter, the Tuscarawas county club or- ganizer and of national fame gave a stirring talk to the pupils in the High School room March 19th, and another in the Town Hall on April 2nd to parents and interested farmers. ' m..m-mfw FRIDAY afternoon, March 8th, the High School was agreeably surprised when a beautiful mounted elk head, a gift from Mr. Peter Cutensohn, arrived from Whitefish, Montana. Mr. Cutensohn was a graduate from this High School in the Class of 1894-. The head was placed in the High School room directly above Prof. Sindlinger's desk. The following Monday morn- ing Mr. Charles Cutensohn, uncle of the donor, gave the presentation speech. He said that to him the elk head represented three qualities, strength, dignity and expectancy, qualities for which every young person should strive. The school certainly feels honored that a former pupil, altho' so many miles away should still hold such a high regard for the G. H. S. and its stand- ards, and it should spur the future graduates tl push forward with those standards. THE SENIORS of 1918 have presented the High School with a service flag to show their admiration to the boys in service who have attended school here. The follow- ing are the boys: Harold Lnethie, Edmund Seiss, Alvin Guts-nsohn, Earl Lindsay, Dewey McConnell. Roy Lyle. Elmer Cutensohn. William Cutensohn, Virgil llaines. N1 alter lleck. Thomas Comphcr, Ernest Fox. ,Iesse Cc-ieey, Carl Winsch, Earl Guthrie. William Vvages. llomer Smith, Charles Gooding and Charles Mills. Harold Luethie, Alvin Cutensohn and William Gutensohn are at present writing in France. To OUR PATRONS: Please do not forget to read the advertisements in this edition for they make THE GOAL a realization. Do not only read them, but patronize the advertisers. THE CLASS sincerely thank Miss Muriel Webb for the beautiful view of the 'Tuscarawas liiver which we have used as our frontispiece. Miss Webb is a gradu- ate of the Class of l901.

14 THE GOAL We were now pronounced qualified for promotion to the fifth grade which is taught in the third room. We entered this year's work with twenty earnest members, with our strict but excellent teacher, Mr. Kennedy. The next fall we were moved to the other side ofthe room and found that we had another new teacher, Miss Edith Petry. Things went smoothly this term and we received our certificates, which promoted us to a higher and more honorable class, as we deemed it, because were permitted to go up that long flight of stairs. A great step for us, indeed! We felt almost 'igrown up when our class of sixteen members filed out of our room into the High School room for morning exercises. Mr. Kennedy was again our instructor and thus helped to put on the finishing touches to our work prepara- tory for the High School. It was in the eighth grade that a shy country lad, Russell Glass, entered our ranks and has proven himself a loyal classmate. At the eighth grade commencement our roll called for only twelve members. Upon entering High School several othersjoined us, bringing the total up to sixteen. Among these new ones were Esther Gardner and Katherine Kohler. Our chief instructor in this grade was Prof. C. A. Sind- linger. During this year Anna Shull dropped out. ln our Junior year we had only twelve tnembers, as Freda Thomas had moved to Tuscarawas. Helen Sproul had entered High School at Uhlichsville, and Grace Lewis had to leave school on account of sickness. During the summer vacation Prof. llegland resigned and Prof. Sindlinger took his place, giving him an op- portunity of talking Latin to us again. Also during the following summer Barnes moved away, so Walter was not with us in our Senior year, making a total of eleven, the number in our class at present. And now as our school days have drawn to a close, we will ever cherish the memory of those never-to hc- forgotten days. as well as the thoughts of the tt achers who were so dear to us. And as we depart from here, we the Class of ,ifl will ever strive to hear up the standards ofthe G. ll. S. Ralph IV Johnson. mntuminmintumr CLASS PROPHECY dew-'1'H'?NElieatttiful June afternoon l walked thru 2 O 3 a quiet wood, where differentcolored birds i 2 were singing their prettiest songs, in the DWF' 'HHN 'U newly robed trees, and many colored wild flowers blossomed-1 Everything seemed to be more beautiful than l' hadpggver seen them before. As l wallfeil ofnlgthru the wood, lcame to a small clearingtand there before me was a Gypsy camp. l stood-.gazing a moment, as the flashy dresses of the women attracted my attention. They seemed to be in keeping with all the wood about them because they all seemed to bein their very best mood. l hesitatingly advanced, and was surprised at the way they greeted me. Some spoke in their own tongue, while several greeted me in English. Indeed, they seemed too friendly to be real Gypsies. They showed me around the camps and each had something to show me, in which he was particularly interested. At last one old lady asked me to have tea with her, and told me she would give me a glimpse into the fi - ture ifl wished it. She took a kettle and we went off to a secluded spot. There she built a fire and placed the kettle of water on it. Then she sprinkled rasp- berry leaves and some other unknown herbs into it. The vapors now arose and seemed to envelop us. She now said the tea was ready, and such delicious tea I had never tasted. The scent of the flowers and the songs of birds seemed to be mixed in it. The remainder of the tea boiled over the fire and now she seemed ready to tell me so nething. First, there arosein the vapor a picture of a beautiful lady whom l recognized to be Mayme. Apparently she was the private secretary ofthe President of the United States. She had gone to Business College and had worked herself to this high position. She faded as the mists rose, and in her place stood llalph. He was standing in the pulpit of a magnificent church, preach- ing. He had gone to a Tlieologit-ul St-tninnry and was now preaching in the largest church in New York. Suddenly things were eliangetl, and l saw lit-fore me a large mansion, surrounded by rich farm land. Over this mansion Helen reigns in her queenly way. She had married a farmer and they had moved to their new home in the South. Next bt-fore me appeared a la-ge liriek building with boys and girls passing in and out. lt was at large lligh School building in which lfslht-r was a sut'u ssful Latin tear-her. Now. another farm nppearetl: Russell was an up-to- date scientihc farmer. He had gone to Ohio State University and had taken an Agricultural course and had come hcnie to settle on the farm. The kettle lioiled hard, the mists rose highs r. and now appeared an Art Store on Fifth Avenue of New York City. Flora, seizing her great opportunity, had opened this Art Store. And now Walter appeared in the .person of a great electrician and inventor. Ile had made an invention which had won the Worlds' Yfar for the United States and the Allies, and had brought peace again to the world. A large library now rose in the mists, and in itl saw Katherine sitting at her desk, she was a success- ful librarian in a large Carnegie Library.
