Class History IN THE fall of 1909, four tiny girls decided to make their home in the shade of an old oak tree. They were Irene Schmidt, roly-poly Virginia Pyle, Natalie Zuber, and Eloise Urner, who was the tiniest of all. Many other little girls came and went during the next few years. Among them was one named llCheeehee Bell, and they tell us now she is married to 3. Pole and lives in Paris; dear old Gail Perin, who has stood by us through thick and thin; dainty little Delia Workum came to us by hOpping over a big hole that would have detained her a whole year; Rowena Fauntleroy stayed but a year, and left to study dramatic art; Dellah Vail came with her mystery stories, for five years; llClib Findlater came and studied, until now she is Oakhurstls representative at the Alliance Frangaise. Eunice Resor came and we had all learned to love her when she ran away; Virginia Walter would have left her happy-go- luckyH spirit with us when she departed if it had not been so much a part of herself; Bight tCharlotte Bishopricl came in curls, but alas! they had disap- geared long before the curls and pigtails of her class- mates; and Dorothy Sebastian, who longs to be back in old Cincinnati, was with us for several years. The time comes when all little children must become mature, so we advanced to the last four hard- 27 working years of school. Nine of the old girls came back in the fall of 1917 to enter the last lap of pre- paratory training in a new school building. The class grew rapidly. The new girls were brilliant: Judy tMarguerite Juterbockl who, much to our sorrow, has decided not to graduate with us, but will study another year; Doris Baur, who Will help any- body out of a tight place; Alexina Smith came up from Aurora and liked us so well that she now stays in Cincinnati; we have all grown to love Laura Lee Benedict so much that we have chosen her for our senior president; Syb Robbins came to be with her chum but did not stay long; Clailin Bryan was a special student, and left us to go home; last but not least, in our Freshman year was HKay Boyle, who now is an artist. In 1918, Charlotte and Virginia Muhlhauser came to us and we have them to thank for a great part of the success of our Annual, Ruth Williams lingered but a few weeks; Adele Heitz is one of whom no teacher can complain of being rambunc- tious. Paducah lost Anna Webb Phillips for three years so that we might all learn to love her; Kitty Ragsdale tarried but half a year but still comes to see us now and then; Edith J ungelas came so that she might have many hands to draw; Dorothy Winchell stayed but a year; and our pal, Cecil Smith, came
