Stoney Creek -IIIIIZIPIW In the year of 1923, a long looked for class entered the doors of Stoney Creek high school. This class of thirteen, although small in number, was mighty in ambition. It wasn't long until Frederick Huston withdrew leaving only twelve to finish that year. The upper classmen soon became acquainted with our class by seeing our banner of maroon and cream which we had added to the assembly-room collection to announce our existence. Our second year, the year of wisdom, we were saddened by two members not be- ginning school with us, Leah Dick and Ray Dudley. However, we were joined by Esther Fodrea. Before the year was closed two more members, Robert Pursley and Keith Leeka, left Stoney Creek and our worthy class. In this our third year, in spite of all we learned during our Sophomore days. we find there is still more of books and life to be conquered. Then too, we must make up in Wifdom that which we lack in number, for we have lost still another class- mate, Robert Thornburg. We are also having our first experienfe in business, though small it is, we have had many difficulties, but all our troubles will be forgotten in the joy of our Senior banquet. Now we can only prophesy what will happen during our last year. We see ourselves gaining more knowledge and thinking seriously of college and the future. V 311,271 0211-111'11.w In the fall of '24 twenty-one Freshmen entered our doorg thus we began our career in school by deciding the studies to pursue. First there was Latin, which all adore, then algebra and English to the galore. Minor studies were not barred therefore we had to study hard. We were always in for fun and play especially at study periods of the day. t'Not so noisy, often came to the ear when we were in our first school year. We enjoyed class parties, now and then, usually lasting from eight till ten. When the end of the term rolled around for the Sophomore Class we were bound. The next year it was to be seen that our class numbered only nineteeng then Alma and Revilla had to lose out, but we that were left didn't dare pout. Rowena, our president we try to ease for the boys she tries to please-Carlos and Arthur basket ball champs, trying their hardest to wear out their pants. Archie and Kenneth try to get wise, attempting to make goo goo eyes. James, our recorder, and Alvie his chum are forever chewing gum. Lois and Helen Clevenger are two of a kind. looking for someone they cannot final. Ruby, a model student is she, studies like a busy bee. Mildred and Bertha are like twins in one shoe, without one another not knowing what to do. Ancil and Aldah are smartest 'round this place, trying to get their lessons by gazing into space. Helen and Kenneth Fletcher are about of a size, as to the weight believe your eyes. Wallace Lee is our champion Ford driver, driving like lightning as if he would find her. Ted's our class teacher who always will say to the Juniors and Seniors, Babies will play. Fresh 1710771 VVe, the tenth class of Stoney Creek, began our educational career September 4, 1917. Charlene Clark was our instructor during our first and second years. By the combined efforts of Miss Bessie Yoke, Miss Hazel Keener, and Mrs. Grace Parker we were ushered through the intermediate grades. We entered the seventh grade with the determination to distinguish ourselves. The bovs made their mark in basket ball, as every one will remember. We were very proud of Alva Medler and James Harbour who distinguished themselves by winning a place on the honor roll, but alas, our pride was doomed by fate, for they were taken away from us and given to the grade higher. We mourned our loss, but soon recovered and entered the eighth grade in high spirits. It was our last year to have fun, or so the freshmen told us, we made the most of our opportunity. Mr. Porter was a conscientious teacher and we all liked him very much. Then the greatest of all occasions arrived. We entered high school! The clock stopped! The Delco stopped! All activity stopped! The class of '29 had entered the ninth grade ready to work toward the Great Climax. Our first year is half over and we are looking forward with anticipation to the coming years. Page Niizety-five

Wayne Juniors In the year of 1923 when school began we the Junior class of '25 and '26 began our highi school Work as Freshmen. The class contained twenty-two students. The class as a whole has ranked very high in the participation of Wayne high sch-ool activities. When Freshmen, the boys from our class were a big factor in the baseball, basketball and track teams. The girls also were very active in athletic work. As we advanced in our studies we also advanced in extra school activities. Our class has produced an excellent baseball player. Three girls from our class are regular players on the girls' team. One member of our class took part in the music memory contest in both county and district in 1925. We presented our class play, Forest Acres or K'The Efficiency Expert, which proved a great success, on December 16. The Junior-Senior banquet ended our year's activities and now we are looking forward to the time when we are to be Seniors. S0p710mm'eS The Once upon a time of this story was September 7, 1924, thirty-tive green- eyed Freshmen entered Wayne high school. Having accustomed ourselves to our sur- roundings we elected Blanche Moore, presidentg Adine Shultz, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Bowen class advisor. We also chose green and white as our class colors. The usual initiation and return parties were given and each student came through with no serious injuries. The work of the Freshman year proved to be successful for after four months' vacation thirty of the former thirty-five assembled as Sophomores. For this year Winifred Puterbaugh was elected presidentg Mary Baker, secretary and treasurer. and Miss Bowen class advisor. We have the largest enrollment ever en- rolled in Wayne school and Caccording to our estimationj the best. Fresh men We entered Wayne High School as Freshmen, September 7, 1925, with an enroll- ment of nineteen, four of whom came from Wilson. a grade school in this township. We were initiated by the Sophomores, and at that time took the oath of allegiance to Wayne High. We have given a radio program for opening exercises, Mr. Noffsinger gave a party in our honor, and we gave the Sophomores a return party. The first month of school we organized our class with Miss Almonrode as our sponsor. Our class colors are cream and crimson and our motto, Push, Pull, or Get Out of the Way. Page Nirlrffy-sczwrl,
