 Alumui Class Histories CLASS OF 1895 During our high school days a school library was founded, and whether it still exists I do not know. Under the guidance of our superintend- ent, Prof. L. I. Morse, a series of lecture courses was given and the profit derived from these went to establish a library. Just how it happened there was a profit, is a mystery, as the price of the tickets was only one dollar and after paying all expenses, it does not seem possible any money could have been left. Lecturei's in those days did not demand the prices they do now and the “opera house” could be rented for a nominal sum. The students surely did work hard to sell the tickets. These lecture courses and an In- dian medicine show, was about all the entertain- ment we had during the winter. Enough money was finally accumulated to start the library. Prof. Morse selecting the books, and a better selection could not have been made. Up to this time we had very little opportunity to secure good books to read and the eight members of our class and all others whose privilege it was to make use of the library, well remember what a treat these books were, and will also remember with affection, Prof. Morse who made it possible for us to have the library. In comparison to the 'high school work of to- day, our course would have stood well in a test. We did not have as many of the sciences as are now being taught, but were more thoroughly drilled in what we did have. We were required to learn the constitution of the United States, and its amendments, and be able to repeat same without reference to the books. The teacher who required this, was truly a real American citizen, and did her best to make as good citizens of her pupils, and as far as I know, no member of our class has ever dishonored our flag. We were well drilled in mathematics. We had some excel- lent teachers, and how the school board was able to secure them for the small salary paid, is be- yond my comprehension. The three girls and five boys who composed our class, finally graduated, May twenty-first. We well remember the wonderful orations we de- livered, the flowers, music, new clothes, ban- quets and other thrilling events connected with the occasion. At this writing we are all living. CLASS OF 1900 The class of 1900 claims the distinction of be- ing one of the few classes where the boys out- numbered the girls two to one. The personnel of the class consisted of: Hattie Pond, Della Richeson, James Bollinger, William Smith, Von Weber Hunt, Cecil V. Jones. If we remember correctly, the race for class honors was very close and finally narrowed down to a neck and neck race between our esteemed Attorney-at-law, Miss Hattie Pond, and our pres- ent progressive farmer, James Bollinger with Miss Pond carrying off the honors by a small margin. At this writing Miss Pond is still unmarried and is a very successful attorney in Indianapolis, obtaining her first experience in this line in the famous murder trial held in high school during her senior year. Miss Della Richeson is now Mrs. Vol Sise and is the capable assistant at our local Atlantic Pacific Tea Co. store. James Bollinger married one of our St. Paris girls a few years after graduation and is now one of the progressive farmers of Jackson township. William Smith is now high up in the office force of The Columbus Railway Light Co. and lives in Columbus. Von Weber Hunt attended the Cincinnati Den- tal college a few years after graduating from high school. On his return to St. Paris he served a short apprenticeship with our local dentist. Dr. Guthridge. Later he married one of our well known high school music teachers, Miss Lottie Neilson and is now one of the foremost dentists of Piqua. C. V. Jones attended one term at Ada after graduating and later attended one year at Ohio State University, studying law; but later came home and bought an interest in the old Jones drug store where he is still holding forth, having mar- ried Miss Mary G. Leedom, another St. Paris high school graduate in 1907. He now makes his home in our village.
