Pratt, Manager of Base Ball l i HEN the time came to organize the Base Ball squad in the spring of I923 everyone was eager to practice in order that the team might again win the championship of the northern section of the Wayne County Base Ball League. After a few weeks of practice the team was ready to start the schedule. The following results show conclusively that the team of I923 was the equal of, if not better, than the team of I922. O.H.S. 24 vs. Marion 3, at Ontario. O.H.S. I0 vs. Sodus I2, at Sodus. O.H.S. 5 vs. Wolcott 6, at Wolcott. O.H.S. 7 vs. North Rose 5, at Ontario. O.H.S. 3I vs. Walworth 4, at Ontario. O.H.S. II vs. Marion 0, at Marion. O.H.S. II vs. Williamson I, at Williamson. O.H.S. 5 vs. Sodus 4, at Ontario. O.H.S. I7 vs. Williamson 7, at Ontario. O.H.S. I3 vs. Wolcott 3, at Ontario. O.H.S North Rose 0, at North Rose. . 3 vs. Total O.H.S., 137: Total 0, 45. The team, because of the above record, qualified the Northern Section of the Wayne County Base Ball League in the Championship game. This was played with Savannah at Newark. The score was Savannah 6-O.H.S. 0. The base ball squad consisted of the following players: Middle- ton, captain: Hogeboom, Closser, Maher, Charlick, Whitbourne, Furber, Cone, Swearingen, Hopkins, Barrett, Beach, Pratt, manager. The base ball season opened again this year with as much spirit as previous years. The boys were determined to win the championship again. Although the weather has caused the post- ponement of many games, still, as we go to press, they look like a championship outfit. The following is a list of the results played to date: O.H.S. I4 vs. Webster I, at Ontario. O.H.S. 2 vs Wolcott 8, at Wolcott. O.H.S. I2 vs. Wolcott 2, at Ontario. O.H.S. 6 vs Williamson I, at Williamson, C7 inningsj. O.H.S.

Hallauer H EDITORIAL 1 Dear Readers and Fellow Students: For the last two years the Junior classes have published the junior Echo, and made it a great success of which not only they themselves, but also their under-classmen were very proud. We being Freshmen when the first edition was published, thought of the future, wondering if we should ever be noble Juniors and put out the finished product of which they were so proud. But now our chance has come. Last January, when we were told that it was time to begin work on the l924 Junior Echo, the teachers tried to convince us that a smaller one would be necessary on account of the size of our class. We did not want our lack of members to produce an apparent backward step in the publishing of our annual, so we determined to do our best to make it as complete as possible. lt has been our aim to put in nothing to offend anyone, but only that which is interesting and instructive. At last we have it completed. We have worked, and worked hard to make this book acceptable to its readers. We may have failed in some places, and excelled in others, but we hope that you will judge our book as the product of earnest and painstaking efort on the part of the class. G PRESIDENTS ADDRESS G. Carlton Cone OUR years ago tonight thirty of our little Freshmen were seated in the audience beside their mothers and fathers witnessing the class functions of the graduating class of l920. lt was then that our minds began to look forward to the time when we should be Seniors. Since that time we have fought many battles, several of which were lost, but now the heaviest battle of all, the Regents, has been won. We have been victorious and tonight the largest class ever graduated from Ontario High school bids you welcome to their class functions. Not all have the opportunity of holding big positions in life. Not all would fill them satisfactory if they did. Whether an opportunity comes, early or late, is of no great consequence. The thing is, what are we prepared to make of it when it does come. Some tangible effort always precedes opportunity. It may be described simply as hard work, as intelligence, as experience, or as doing the thing that's ahead with the utmost there is in one. Real achievement is attained by never being satisfied with anything less than one's best eEort. 12 JUNIOR ECHO It is not so much the question Where one gets as How he gets there. The decisions a man makes may have a lasting effect on where he gets, but this business of reaching a certain goal is not nearly so important as the question, how he reaches it. If a man has played the game fairly and squarely with all his might, he may be a victor without extensive material rewardsg but if he has cheated or mounted to the heights at the expense of others he may count his career as a ghastly failure. There are two kinds of pleasure in the world. One is the pleasure of over-coming and the other is the pleasure of yielding. lf we give ourselves up to the pleasure of yielding the end is bore- dom or perversion-the eventual destruction of our ability to enjoy anything at all. If we persist in the pleasure of over-coming and do the things we do not like until we have learned to like them, we grow strong and vigorous and our capacity to enjoy things con- stantly increases. One cannot run away from weakness: he must some time light it out or perish. The poorest way to face life is to face it with a sneer. There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect than he who either holds or feigns to hold an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty. Much has been given to us and much will be rightly expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves: and we can shirk neither. It is our hour to run our race. We are going out into the world to be citizens and representatives of Ontario. We must have those qualities which make for efhciency and we must also have those qualities which direct the efficiency into channels for the public good. There is nothing to be done with that type of citizen of whom all that can be said is that he is harmless. Virtue which is dependent upon a sluggish circulation is not impressive. There is little space in active life for the timid good man. The man who is saved by weakness from robust wickedness is likewise rendered immune from the more robust virtues. We must be able to hold our own, we must be efficient. But if our efficiency is not guided and regulated by a moral sense, then the more efficient we are the worse we are and the more dangerous to the world about us. Courage, intellect, all the master- ful qualities serve but to make a man more evil if they are used merely for that man's own advancement with brutal indifference to the rights of others. lt makes no difference whether such a man's force and ability betray themselves in the career of money maker or politician, soldier or orator, journalist or popular leader. lf the man works for evil, then the more successful he is the more he should be dispised by all upright and far-seeing men. As we leave these halls of learning we are not only going to be called upon to do some of the things done before but we shall be expected to do them better than they have been done before. The world expects great things, noble things. Do not let, us disap- point those who look to us for assistance but let us acquit ourselves like men and thus bring credit upon the institution that so tenderly nurtured us during the days of our preparation. Again l welcome you, one and all. 13 -l---1 Jumon sci-io 0 H SENIOR CLASS HISTCRY W Orian Stevens HERE is no need to call upon the gords or any supernatural being to reveal the history of the class of '24. for the class of '24 has a history which will speak for itself. Our present Senior Class, then consisting of thirty-four members, met as Freshmen November l, l920. We were an extraordinary class, both in numbers and brilliancy, as was shown by the fact that we were allowed to elect officers the very first year. XVe elected Mildred Tanner, presidentg Ruth Turner, vice- presidentg Ethel Young, secretary, and Donald Fewster, treasurer. We chose cardinal and cream as our class colors and for our motto we chose Now we have launched, where shall we anchor? Later in the year wepurchased class pins, and March 30 we had a party at the home of Lelah Rouch. The Sophomores joined with us that year in giving the high school picnic at Pultneyville, the day after commencement. We had a very happy school year but our summer vacation was clouded by the death of our president, Mildred Tanner. She was loved by all who knew her and our class suffered a great loss. As Sophomores we returned with only twenty-one students remaining of our former thirty-four. February IO, l922, we organized, electing Donald Fewster, president: Melville Sheahen, vice-presidentg Ruth Turner, secretary, and Ethel Young, treasurer. The colors were changed to cardinal and gold, while Be Square CBZY' was chosen for our motto and sweet peas for the class flowers. At the close of the year the high school picnic was again given by the Sophomores and Freshmen at Pultneyville. When we returned as juniors, the next year, we found that there were twenty-two students in our ranks. We resolved that our junior year should be the best and liveliest of all. We organized in September. Carlton Cone was elected president: Doris Huxley, vice-president: Ruth Turner was re-elected secretary and Donald Fewster was elected treasurer. We kept the same colors, motto and flowers as the year before. Early in October a junior party was held at the home of Carlton Cone. ln November most of the Juniors attended Julius Caesar, the Shakespearian play which we studied during our junior year. ln January we selected and pur- chased our class rings. Later we gave a play entitled, Lost, a Chaperonf' The greatest achievement of our junior year was the Second Junior Echo. This was a great success. We finished our Junior year by entertaining the Seniors at Sea Breeze and South Park in the afternoon and at the Eastman in the evening. The weather that day wasn't very pleasant but we had a jolly time between showers. ln September, l923, twenty-one of our number took their seats in the Senior row. We anticipated this year being the greatest and best for we knew that we were the largest Senior class graduat- 14 -1- -1 JUNIOR ECHO - ing from this school. September IZ, l923, we elected our officers for the year. Carlton Cone was again elected president: Ethel Young, vice-president: Coralie Covill, secretary, and Donald Fewster. treasurer. We kept up the custom of previous Senior classes and sold candy during our Senior year. We also continued the work of getting subscriptions for magazines as did the previous Senior classes. In order to arouse a little spirit and rivalry we chose sides in the Senior High School. One side went by the name of Walt and the other Avery. We pinned a large chart on the wall and on it each side had an auto. As they brought in sub- scriptions their auto was moved forward on the chart. There was some dispute about the winning side so the party which should have been given by the losing side was given by the Senior class in the Grange Hall. This was well attended and every one had a good time. On the evening of March l, of this year we gave a sleigh- ride party for the members of the class and the high school faculty. A friend of a member of the class very kindly furnished the sleigh and team. We attended the Williamson movie. Many interesting things took place on the ricle, one of which was an almost serious accident as the result of two members falling from the bobs into a snow bank. On our way home we stopped at Louise Verdine's and had lunch. We all had a very enjoyable time. Later in the year our Senior play was given. This was a great success, netting us nearly SZ00.00. During Easter vacation seven of our members went to Wash- ington. They all had an enjoyable time and entertained the rest of us by telling us what they saw. Now our high school years are at a close. We have looked forward to this with a feeling of joy and also of regret. These years have been very enjoyable together, and now when it comes time to leave them for higher things there is a feeling of regret in our hearts. As historian I have no key to unlock the future, that alone is left to the prophet. SENIOR CLASS PROPI-IECY Doris Huxley Time I939 FTER spending several years in various colleges and obtaining the B. A., A. M., and Ph. D. degrees, I left for France to attend the University of Paris, that I might have a more extensive study of the French language. After finishing my course, I was offered the position of Dean. I accepted this position and have held it for eight years. One night on returning from a faculty banquet which had been unusually long and tiresome, I found I could not get to sleep. Finally, about two o'cIock in the morning I arose, and went in search of a bite to eat. I found half a fruit cake, some cheese. some 15 --ll JUNIOR ECHO 1 dill pickles and a pint of milk. Upon finishing my feast I went back to bed and immediately fell asleep. When I next awoke, I noticed there was a strange young woman in white standing by the window and she appeared to be making out a chart. I tried to sit up but my head ached so I was forced to lie down. I watched her for quite a few minutes but she was so engrossed in her task she never looked up. The door opened and another lady entered. She was dressed for traveling and carried a valise. She went to the window and talked in an unclertone to the young lady. At last she turned and came over to my side. There was something very familiar about her, but when l tried to place her my mind was just a jumble. How do you feel now? she asked. At the sound of her voice I sat bolt upright. Why Orian Stevens, where in the world did you fly from? I did fly to get here. I heard when l came into the hospital that you were very ill so I took charge of the case. But how did you get way over here? She told me she had been in France for two years studying. She planned to leave for home Saturday and told me I was to accompany her. I told her I couldn't possibly get away for I was very busy with the many details of my position. She said it had all been arranged previously and she was afraid I'd be forced to go with her. The assistant dean would get along very nicely for a few months. Thus, it was that I sailed for the United States on the following Saturday morning. Orian told me she had been sent abroad by the leading physicians of New York city to attend a conference and also to do some advanced work in medicine. As soon as she returned she would be expected to give her reports and to supervise certain new courses in the hospital. She was busy nearly all the time arranging her notes and reports. One day we began talking about the people back home and then about the class of '24. She surprised me very much by telling me Smith Pratt had left shortly after finishing his work at the University of Rochester for the Sandwich Islands. There had been a great plague of yellow fever and sleeping sickness and Smith went to offer his services in a time of trouble. I'Ie liked it so well that he remained there and was still enjoying his bachelorhood. I said I had heard from Elsie many times. Elsie had finished normal with honors and taught school in Webster for three years. She spent her spare time writing for local papers and magazines. But life seemed rather dull for her so she married a traveling sales- man and they moved to Austin, Texas. Elsie was as happy as ever and had no troubles to disturb her serene peace of mind. After we landed and got straightened around in Orian's apartments on Riverside Drive, l had much time to roam around as I wished. Orian was so busy that I was left to entertain myself. One day as I was strolling down Broadway, I saw a very quaint little millinery shop. I knew I needed a new chapeau so I stepped inside. Whom should I see standing behind the counter in all her glory trying to sell an old lady past forty a hat for a girl about 16 - JUNIOR ECHO - sixteen, but Glenna Porrey. She came forward and greeted me very affectionately. Then she showed me around her shop and asked what I thought of it. She said she found teaching far too strenuous so she took up something more comfortable and more promising. When I returned home, I saw a large limousine parked out in front. I hurried up the walk and onto the porch. There stood Donald Fewster. We had a very nice argument for half an hour. Donald, I learned, was in the Senate and had been sent up to New York for some important papers. When at last he rose to go, he invited me to come to Washington and meet his wife. It was all I could do to keep my face straight, to think that Donald had really fallen for a woman at last. It was almost unbelievable. The next week l spent with Ethel at her home in Albany. Ethel had married a social service worker who found the great field for his work was in Albany. Ethel spent her spare time writing stories for the children in the city kindergarten. She, too, had become very much interested in social service work and was helping to raise a fund for the erection of a Children's Hospital. She was chairman of the committee and was busy every minute. On my way back to New York I stopped at Vassar College to visit a friend of mine who taught there. l met Leah Rouch in the office. My how she did make the typewriter go! lt made my head swim to watch her. She said she had never been so busy in all her life but she liked it. She had only been there one year but if they would keep her she intended to stay for a few years more. - l was sorry I couldn't visit with her longer. l had a letter from Leila soon after. Leila was so sorry she couldn't come up and visit us, but she didn't see how she could. She had married a minister and they lived in Athens, Pennsylvania. They were very busy at that time laying hardwood Hoors, painting the house and putting in a new sidewalk. She said it was a large colonial house and when they had it fixed up they would be very proud of it. Leila had worked in the Curtis Publishing House at Philadelphia previous to her marriage. As l was glancing through the paper one night I happened to read of a great discovery that had been made in chemistry. I was still more surprised when I learned it was Raymond Middleton, who had made it. He traveled the whole world over looking up records and trying experiments. The paper stated that the young man seemed very bashful and shy and would not consent to having his picture in the paper. How like ,Iiml One night we went to the theater to watch Carlton Cone perform. He was touring the United States with his famous male cast. They all had to be expert cooks before they were allowed to join his troupe. His tricks were very clever and his songs were enthusiastically received by the audience. His special feature was mimicking the teachers he had in school and college. He told us later that he never intended to get married since he was able to cook for himself. He said he could eat all he wanted to and not have any woman tell him when to stop. A few days later l met Mary LeFrois on the street. Mary had started in as bookkeeper for the Coal and Lumber Company. She said what first attracted her attention was the hours. She did not 17 JUNIOR ECHO L- -i--1 have to be at work until ten o'clock in the morning, so she accepted the position. She had worked very hard and was promoted until, having kept the good work up, she found herself manager. She said she had never dreamed that it would be through coal that she would rise to prominence. I learned from her that Arrethea Verdine had married Mason Stevens, and that they lived in Montreal, Canada. Arrethea had tried teaching but it was so tedious and she was getting so nervous she was forced to give it up. Mason had started a dental dispensary and Arrethea helped him in his work. Mason also wrote short stories for the Saturday Evening Post. He intended to write a book some day if he could find one big enough to hold all he wanted to say. I found that Harold Fewster after working on a muck farm decided he wanted to become an artist. He had gone to Switzer- land to study and to reproduce the Alps on canvas. Harold found it lots of fun to wield the brush for he had so much time to rest. He never worked till early evening for he didn't think he could get the right effect till then. Although he had not as yet received any praise for what he had accomplished, he knew that some day the people would be clamoring for his work so he kept working on. Harold said he had always had a talent for painting but he hated to confess until he tried to see what he could do. Louise Cann was a dietitian. She had worked in several of the large cities where she had numerous health stations started and was planning to start more. She also lectured on Domestic Science in various high schools. She had worked with Herbert Hoover in planning satisfactory diets for factory workers. She had been in Washington to see about having a week set apart for special work along this line and was trying to raise money to carry on the campaign. She contributed to the newspapers her plans and asked every citizen to be ready if called upon to help. lt was with great pleasure I read of the marriage of Coralie Covill to the crown prince of Spain. The papers gave very vivid accounts of the festivals being held in Madrid. People of fashion from all over the world were there, but only one hundred were to be allowed to attend the ceremony. Coralie had saved the prince's life by using common sense and he could think of no other way of paying off the debt. I am sure she will be happy. As I was walking around the park one afternoon I met a young lady very beautifully dressed. She led a small French poodle and she seemed to be attracting quite a lot of attention. I heard one little boy tell his chum she was an honest injun actress. She walked around for a few minutes then turned and retraced her steps. l was forced to pass her and as I looked up I thought I must be dreaming for who was it but Louise Verdine. She was having a vacation and was spending it in New York. She told me many of her thrilling experiences and even drove me home in her racer. It was from her I learned that Melville Sheahen had practiced medicine in Ontario for a few years but finding it very dull had joined the navy. He was at the time on a cruise to Greenland. He had sailed around the world twice and discovered a new island in the Arctic Ocean. He called it Man's Paradise. Through a friend of Orian's I gained the following information. 18 1 JUNIOR .I-:cHo 1 Genevieve Foley was an architect and was building a new theater in Salt Lake City. She aspired to be above people so she worked way up on top of a nearby building while curious crowds below gazed in speechless amazement. She enjoyed it very much and considered it mere play. She did not seem to be burdened with care or worry. Probably because she was so far above people. After remaining a few weeks longer l felt as though l must get back to my work. It was my privilege to travel back with an All-Star Cast, who were on their way to the Orient to make a new picture. l had a very delightful voyage and was glad to get settled down to work once more. l am more than thankful for my feast. for it brought me many unexpected pleasures.

IMPROVING ON SCIENCE It took hundreds of years to make a man out of a monkey. some say, but a pretty girl can make a monkey out of a man in a few minutes. ii111 WHERE WAS SHE HURT? A little girl had a fall last week. While her mother was wiping away the tears she asked, sympathetically, where she was hurt. The little girl replied- l hurted-sob-l hurted-sob-I hurted the back of my lap. iii-1 HARD FOR HER I understand that in the Senior play Glenna had quite a diffi- cult part. DiHicult?

She has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts. She begs me to state for her that she might possibly have been mistaken in her inventory, but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, while l read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the class of l924, being about to pass out of this sphere of education. in the full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time hereto- fore made. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We bequeath to our faculty all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much that we have imparted to them must have been entirely new, and would throw much light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought. lf the faculty see fit, they are hereby authorized to give to the world such of this information as they feel the world is ready to receive. We give and bequeath to the junior class, some grey matter, which is sadly lacking. To the Sophomores, we give the ability to pull together during the next two years. This was the main failing in their ranks this year. To the Freshmen, we leave our footprints, so they might by chance, attain success. Again to our class room teachers, the profound admiration and ever enduring friendship of the class of 1924 in an individual as well as a collective manifestation. ' To Neva Wemes4ome laughing gas to coax that grin into a hearty laugh. To Bertha Whitcomb-A carload of face powder each week for the next school year. To Marjorie Hallauer-Ethel Younis quiet and lady likeness. 21 JUNIOR ECHO We hope that this will serve as a check, but not as a damper to Marjorie's spirits.

May they uphold it forever, with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their light mindedness and irresponsibility. Now comes the one thing hard to part with. To our suc- cessors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved usg they will show them all the same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed upon us, and the same interest in their attempts and successes. All t.he rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind or quality it may be and not herein before disposed of fafter paying our debts and funeral ex- pensesl we leave to establish a school building fund. And we, the class of l924, do hereby appoint, as joint witnesses of this, our last will and testament: Clara Lebbert, Clifton Esley. ln witness whereof, we, the class of l924, the testators, have to this will, set our hand and seal this twenty-third day of June, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. Signed, Glenna M. Porrey, in behalf of the class of l924. 23 ----- JUNIOR sci-io CHARGE TO THE JUNIORS 6 . H J. Donald Fewster l ONlGl-lT as l stand here l cannot help but feel a little sad for l think Ontario High school after having a glorious part in base- ball and other activities, will decline to its former state of inac- tivity. Because under the leadership of the Senior class these heights have been reached and when it graduates, because of lack of leadership, the school will decline. l will give you an example of our leadership. When the Athletic Association was organized we, then Sophomores, had more of the offices than the other classes com- bined. We now have all of them. The highest average of anyone in the high school has been held consecutively by a Senior with an average of around 95 per cent. Of our championship baseball team, the manager, the captain, also the pitcher, and other players, were from our class. This shows that we excel in leadership, scholarship, and athletics. We are not one-sided but good in everything. We have not attained these things by luck or chance but by continually striving and working to obtain our object. We held our course in spite of everything and by our grit and deter- mination won out. l won't tell you any more for l know that you now have an insight into our greatness. To whom will this leadership fall? The logical place is to the Juniors but they are not fit and cannot hope to take it. They are not in anything. They are not able to do much as is realized by the ruling authorities of the school, for they wouldn't let the juniors put on a play for they knew it would be a fizzle and these same authorities thought quite awhile before letting them attempt the annual, but finally allowed them to try it but then with misgiv- ings. They are copying our annual as much as possible, trying to imitate our success. They are the smallest class in school for they have only nine members. Of course some small classes may say, Quality and not quantity is what counts. But they cannot, for they haven't the quality. The Junior honor seat has always been taken by one with an average of 91 per cent, the lowest average for an honor seat of all the classes. When they bought their rings they wrangled and argued over the selection of them till finally after several days, and, being reprimanded by Prof., they decided on one but then not without hard feelings. This shows their class spirit. But l will not continue further, l see tears gathering in their eyes as they think of how they have failed in the past. Now l have shown them, their mistakes, l would like to help them. l will give them this key to knowledge, which has done so much for us and l trust can be used by them. But who is this here to receive this wonderful key, a girl?l?l?l Couldn't you juniors get a male member of your class to take this key or wouldn't they do it? Are they the kind that lie down and let the women do the work? If so maybe this explains the cause of your'many failures. But now take this key, use it diligently, and make up for, in the future, what you have not done in the past. 24 JUNIOR ECHO 0 . JUNIOR RESPONSE Hermia C. Hallauer N behalf of the members of the class of l925, we wish to express our gratitude to the Senior class this evening, for keeping this Key of Knowledge so carefully for us. We have listened with wonder and awe, to your self-praise and important advices you have given us. We receive it with hearty thanks. Never again shall we be guilty of such oversight, if such you think it is, for experience, we trust, has made us wiser and we hope by the time we have spent four or five years in high school we shall be able to boast of as great accomplishments as you August Seniors now claim. If we have failed in the past, the future will find us more provident. ln speaking to you this evening, l would like nothing better than to praise you most highly for your noble deeds of which you have just spoken, but where did you leave the deeds that belong with the other side of the question? It is plain to see that some of your class are not affected with the fault of doing their work in a hurry, as you have almost suc- ceeded in doing four years work in five or six years time. If you continue in this approved method you will doubtless have grey hairs before you finish college. As for the baseball team, the captain and pitcher alone did not win the championship. There may be only two boys in the junior class, but if it had not been for one of these, with his earnest interest in athletics and his witty team work, as catcher, Ontario High school would still be striving for her first silver cup. Certain members of the Senior class have had a great fault of coming in late continually, and causing the monitors to waste much time in discussing whether or not they had been seen lately promenading about the halls. Do you wonder that Mr. Start has had to lecture so often on tardiness? Again, during the three years that we have spent with you in this school, did we ever see you undertake a task, willingly, without groaning and complaining about it? How often you used to relate your imagined troubles to the teachers as an excuse for inability to recite! Do you expect to continue throughout your lives in this deep rut of fickleness? Such are your convictions tonight. Our attitude may some- what differ from that maintained in the past, but we are in earnest, or try to be. After all we wish to thank you Seniors for the interest you have taken in us, and are very grateful for the example you have set before us. l assure you it is with a feeling of regret that we have to think that this night separates us from you. We will use this key of knowledge to the utmost of our ability, noticing that you have not quite worn it out with hard usage. 25 --l--- JUNIOR sci-no THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Mabel Rulfell .-9 F YOU Will look back over the Junior Classes which have pre- ceded us, you will find we are the smallest that have undertaken the publication of the junior Echo, there being at present only nine members. We first met as Freshmen, September, l92l. We were given in our first year the privilege which is given to all brilliant classes, to organize. This organization was composed of twenty-seven members, but at the end of the term six of this number had dropped out. The following officers were chosen: Theodore Mepham, president, Harland Hogeboom, secretary, and Gretchen Horner, treasurer. The class showed their excellent taste when they chose the beautiful colors, blue and gold, as their class colors. Several parties, given by the various members of the class. were Enjoyed during the year the last of which was a roast at l'lolland's ove. The returning class of thirteen members organized as Sopho- mores October 2, l922. The following officers were elected: Donald Charlick, president, Esther Dickinson, secretary, and Clara Lebbert, treasurer. Blue and gold were again chosen for the class colors, and the motto Love, Labor and Laugh was adopted as well as carried out. Miss Remore was unanimously chosen class advisor. Throughout this year, the class proved to be very active. We ended our Sophomore year by giving, together with the Fresh- men, the school picnic at Pultneyville. V The class that returned this year was even smaller than before, there being only ten members. At the beginning of the term the class elected a very capable president, Hermia l-lallauer, and Esther Dickinson was chosen vice-president. Gretchen Horner was chosen secretary and treasurer. Miss Remore, who in the preceding year served us so well, and made our Sophomore year so active and enjoyable, was again chosen our class advisor. The same class colors, blue and gold, were retained, as no other colors appealed to us. Apres le combat, la couroune, was the motto adopted. Soon after organizing we purchased our class rings, of which we are very proud, because of the fact they are not only beautiful but are also the first rings, representing a class color ever worn by Ontario High School students. During the year we have held baked food sales to raise money for the class fund. To our regret, Christabel Covill, one of our classmates who has been with us through our entire course, changed her residence to Port Byron, leaving a 'class of nine. Clara Lebbert held in her honor, a farewell party which the whole class enjoyed. We hope next year all may come back and enjoy the Senior year which we hope will be the most active of all and which we expect to complete successfully. 26 H JUNIOR ECHO THE JUNIOR RHYME Esther Dickinson They are called the class of '25, Leave it to them to live and thrive, Clifton keeps his lizzie a hustling. Harland is quiet, but for ads keeps a Mary is worried, she can't find a beau: Clara is sharp ears, so you all know. Neva, the silent, is independent of men, bustling While good-hearted Esther is handy with the pen. Gretchen not fleshy, but just extra tall, Hermia is lucky, she's loved by us all. Mabel comes last, but by far not the least, We count it a pleasure her friends to This completes the Juniors of O. H. S. Let not their fame in this school ever rest. increase I SCHOOL SONG We're from a school of great renown, Ontario is it's name, We've got a team you can not down, They're out to win the game. We're here to see the fun begin, We'll stay until it's through, And cheer and sing until the din is heard in Kalamazoo. Chorus : Cheer for Ontario! Wave banners high, Strive hard for victory, Never say diel Shoulder to shoulder, Strong hearts within, Fight for Ontario, We're bound to win! Now anyone who thinks that we are not just what we claim Had better join the crowd and see Ontario play the game just watch the boys in blue and white, Go smashing through the line, Did you ever see a team o bold, Or a sight that's half so fine.

We elected Carolyn Fuller, presidentg Frank Hill, vice-presidentg james Whitbourne, secretary: Dorothea McCarty, treas- urer, and Miss Kennedy as our class aclvisor. Blue and gold were chosen as our colors and Through Trials to Triumph, for our class motto, as it will serve us not only throughout our high school couse but also throughout our whole life. During the year we had several parties and class functions, which kept up a fine class spirit. We assembled this year as Sophomores with only fifteen members, this being less than half of our original number. When we organized May 2, l924, Marjorie Hallauer was elected Presi- dent: Elizabeth VVaterman, vice-president: Dorothea McCarty, secretary and treasurer. We found we had the same colors as the present juniors, so we chose emerald and gold. Miss Hedden was unanimously elected class advisor. This year instead of spending our time 'in fooling and gayety, we turned studious and worked hard. By doing this, we have lost much of the so-called green color. Although we were not organized until May, we had previous to this time two class functions, one being a party at the home of Marjorie Hallauer, the other, a debate. This was held during our English period, the topic being Shakespeares plays should be studied in school. The affirmative side won. This contest brought out the fact that our class contains good material for such work. f L THE SOPHOMORES 1 x- , .41 President ............ ........

The social activities have been in our class, rather uneventful as we did not organize until late in the year. ln our first meeting we elected our class officers. James Whilbourne was chosen president: Ralph Casey, vice-president: Edith Monroe, secretary and treasurerg while Mr. Campbell was chosen our class advisor. ln our next meeting we chose old rose and sand for our class colors, and selected the motto: May Knowledge lncrease. ln the earlier part of the school term a few of the members of the class attended the Shakesperian play, As You Like lt, which they enjoyed very much and entertained the rest of us with accounts of its presentation. The honor seat in our class has been held by the same student throughout the year, while in other cases there has been considerable changing. The boys in the Freshman class have tried their best to get near the back part of the room, and so far they have succeeded better than those of any of the other classes, there being but a few girls with higher averages. We hope all may return next year in order to make the Sophomore class larger than it has been for the last two years.

On high school grounds, we'll play no more, Nor happy hours with classmates spend. Each one is starting on new roads, New roads of life which all must try. For all, there are some special codes, ln work alone, all secrets lie. As we go on from year to year, We'll turn again with grateful eyes To O. H. S., to us so dear, And think of teachers, good and wise. They bore with cheer,.our jokes and pranks Our Latin faults and flunks in math: To them, we'll 'turn with many thanks, They helped us start on life's broad. path. Our ensign is the gold and white, Our motto is Be Square. We'll work for right with all our might, With all, we will play fair. We see a bright light gleam beyond As we start out from O. H. S. lt seems to lead us, draw us on To the great harbor of success. And when we reach the goal at last, We'll think of high school days again. We'll meet to talk of good times past And tell each other where we've been. But now the time is drawing near When we must say adieu- Adieu to school and classmates dear, Adieu to all of you. i...l. -1 Norman- What kind of a hat do you think would suit my head?

To thee we lift our praise, To thee we'll ever give our cheer Throughout our live long days. We are the class of '25, just nine of us that's all. We'll work and strive throughout our life Ne'er to let our class name fall. Apres le combat la couroune our motto is. As our guide let's hold it true. Our colors are blue for loyalty And gold for the good we can do. As a class we toil here together, ln a life of both labor and fun. But now the thought comes o'er us That our work is just begun. So here's to our school and friends, Our friends of pleasant hours. We'll take up the tasks before us, And o'er come all opposing powers. ln the East and the West we'll do our best To win much glory and praise, That our lives may ever bare the test Of our well spent high school days. THE LETTER O 1 Hermia Hallauer I UST think what wondrous things are done with this one letter O, which begins and ends Ontario. It starts in order, but is found in every riot. Although it belongs in Royal Society, it always remains It is doubled in room as well as in gloom: fin home. lt changes bats to boats, and cats to coats, lt is never seen in business, but is always in the ofhce. lt puts an end to a tornado, although it exists in other storms and cyclones. It operates in wagons, omnibuses and automobiles, but is never absent from explosions. It begins each oration and is found in song. It even meets us in school and completes our Junior Echo. No sorrows nor hopes can be without it. A strange thing is the letter O. But in short let it rest like a delicate flower, Oh, breathe on it softly: it dies in an hour. 34 l -ll JUNIOR 'ECHO 0 H ALUMNI If this Alumni list is not complete, the high school authorities would be pleased to learn of any names omitted, that it may be corrected next year. 1897 Bertha H.
