Nineteen eighteen marked the close of the World's War and nineteen nineteen the duration of the high school career of the Class of Nineteen. An illustrious one indeed. As a Class of rare talent and genious, it will long be remembered in connection with the Fremont High School. ln athletic, social, and musical branches it has always taken a leading part. In no undertaking has the class lacked enthusiasm or energy. In their Freshman year the members of the class were very reticent and quietly adjusted themselves to their new circumstances and environment, nevertheless furnishing a number of sturdy and efficient members to all forms of athletics. The second year of their high school experience was a memorable one. During this episode the class presented a splendid play in which they glorihed themselves and the school. The class contributed a splendid alto as a principal in the operetta given that year and further distinguished themselves by attaining the highest average during that term in the high school. In accordance with their usual vim and eagerness to participate in all which is uplifting, the brilliant Sophmores now advanced to vluniorism with new zeal and deter- mination. Time flew with remarkable rapidity, being consumed by a dramatic presentation, 'fHalf-Back Sandy, in which a number of Nineteen Nineteen graduates starred. The class was now organized and under the able pilotship of liveret Stine, as president, Foster Light, secretary, and Vera Sturm, as treasurer, displayed their ability in the social sphere by picnicing the graduating class at 'flVIeadow Brook Park. In their Senior year, the climax of a wonderful career was reached. Again an election was held resulting in Foster Light being chosen as president, Willis Wendler, secretary, and VVillah VVendler as treasurer. The class flower, the Ophelia Rose and colors 'fYale Blue and Silver Grey were now chosen and were profusely displayed in a party given by the class for its members and the faculty of the Senior High School, ln the football and basketball teams of this year the best material was furnished by the class of Nineteen Nineteen, and during the football season a refreshment stand was conducted by several girls of the graduating class, the proceeds of which were added to the athletic fund. As a permanent memorial of their fidelity and good will toward F. H. S., the class established The Croghanf' As a crowning glory the class presented a splendid drama at the end of their high school career, Her Husband's Wife. Again the unusual talent and ingenuity of the class was displayed in a manner that caused 'Her Husband's XVife to surpass all attempts of previous graduating classes. And so it is with profound regret that F. H. sees the Class of 1919 usher from its portals forever. CA'rH1zRINl3 H. STULL.

H. Instead of the looked for letter, she received a notice from Dr. Artz, secretary of the Alumni of the F. H. S. '19, that the class would hold their tenth reunion at the beau- tiful country home of the Tucker Twins. The only rival of the ideal day was the class which assembled there. After the exchange of greetings the conversation drifted back to school days, and the wonderful night of commencement. As always, Hon. Walden Hefflinger, now Governor of Ohio, had a wise suggestion, that from the chambers of olden times, they should bring forth the prophecy written in our memorable Senior year. a decade ago, and trace the career of each member. As Dr. Artz read the prophecy of each one they were to respond briefly as to how it had feen fulfilled. First, what of our old friend, Leland Humphrey Booth? Ah, what sadness! His success as a salesman had affected his head. For instead of a brief response as to how his aspirations had been fulfilled, he immediately went into detail about the machines, insurance, dry goods, shoes, in fact anything we would wishewhich he had to sell. ' From Mr. Edgar Bolen and wife, nee Goldia Minich, regrets were read. Their farm duties required their attention. Ah, me! They are journeying the uncertain road of matrimony. Next the prophecy of Corolen Gessner Brown was read. She had not yet arrived, and no report had been received from her. The class then decided to accept the invitation of Manager L. Gibbs of the ' Dandee Theater to witness the production of the famous play, ' A Million Suitorsf' in which Corolen Brown stars, with Dawson Heberling playing opposite her in the role of the handsome heart-smasher and matinee idol. HA civil engineer I see, Robert Bradner is going to be. Yes, his ambition is fulfilled. One of our members, Howard Coon by name has Hgot religion. Rev. Coon is carrying on rousing Evangelistic meetings at Skunk Hollow, VVyoming tthe place is as loud as the name would signifyj. His choir, a great drawing card is composed of four classmates, Lulu Beckman, Roma Gibbs, Ruby Baker and Luella Vfaitman. It is said thousands hit the trail daily. Let's hope it's a soft one. People always did fall for the Rev. Clara Kehn is teaching school. And where? The best place in the land, in F. H. S. She entertainingly told us of some of her experiences and we gladly learn she is a success in the work she chose in F. H. S. Miss Thelma Burkett and Miss Viola Lipstraw are conducting a beauty shop at Chicago junction, Ohio. They make as their specialty a compound for the hair, guaranteed to produce a- natural wave. We are counting on their gaining great success. As to some of our class, musically inclined, Prof. Byron Aldrich told of his High 57 'f
