CLASS HISTORY So I ' m to write a history of that class which will soon, oh, too soon leave the school portals never to return. Soon our school days will be over and we will all go our ways out into the world. Some perhaps to win fame, who knows. In the fall of 1908, one of the largest freshmen classes began their high school course. Well do I remember those first Latin lessons, those conjugations of verbs and the declensions of nouns. How hard we thought them then, but still we battled on. Those who composed our Freshman class of 1908, were as follows : Elmei ' Gunnion, Joe Obenchain, Mary Dimick, Russell Stout. Lizzie Havens, Vern Gingher, Briant Edwards, Lloyd Hoblen, Wesley Graham, Fern Miller, Leona McConnell, Lulu Howenstein, Lizzie Smith, Arthur Hardy, Harlev Matson, Blanch Shorb, Glen Keppler, Edna Lancaster, Garnet Mann, Donald Banks, Bessie Enos, Lucile Rittenhouse, Marie Matson, Marguerite Lancaster, During this year our class was organized; Briant Ed- wards, being our president, Vern Gingher, secretary, and Arthur Hardy, vice-president. As the spring months drew near our class was greatly diminished. At the beginning of the Sophomore year our cla ss was quite a bit smaller, for Glen Keppler, Edna Lancaster, Garnet Mann, Donald Banks, Bessie Enos, Mary Dimick and Russell Stout, had departed. This leaving a class of eighteen. It was during this year that we had the most of our troubles. The most seri- ous trouble being with Caesar. Many times we thought that if we only had a pony our joys would be complete. Many of our classmates were unable to continue their work; those who left our ranks this year were : Blanch Shorb Hariey Matson, Joe Obenchain, Elmer Gunnion, Marie Matson, Marguerite Lancaster, Lucile Rittenhouse. Our Junior year passed swiftly without any serious tur- moils, and it was during this year that we starred in several plays. The Corner Drug Store being one in
