 ••« ©• T H E NORUJESTER -® - v« - • -s THE MEMOIRS OF A FIRS!' STUDENT Back in October of 1918, just a month before the world war ended. Upper Arlington's School was brought into being in a little brown four-roomed building located at the corner of Tremont Road and Arlington Avenue. Hitherto the early elementary grades had been provided for in the basement of King Thompson's residence while the few who were of later age attended Grandview. So the one-story frame building housed the first students of the real Upper Arlington School. The ninth grade was the highest in point of scholastic standing, having been composed of Herrick Thompson. Frank E. Fenton and John F. Royer, a triumvirate that considers itself the first of a high school that has prospered in the intervening ten years to the present date. These three were forced to graduate from high school from other schools, the first at Antioch prep and the latter two at Grandview. Later the three attended Ohio State and served their four years of academic study. Thompson is following in the footsteps of his father in the business of selling real estate, while Fenton is located in Los Angeles. California, pursuing a journalistic career. Royer has won his spurs pounding a typewriter in several daily newspaper offices throughout Ohio as well as in the West, among others having served on the Scioto Gazette at Chillicothc. founded in 1880. the oldest newspaper west of the Alleghanies. Thus did the excellent school system of the village have its start a decade ago. When the first three, augmented at times by Robert Griffith, who later attended Princeton, and Miss Dorothy Barton, who has since been married, reached the dignified role of juniors, it was the end. No senior class was provided for until 192s). when the first graduating class of Upper Arlington high school received their diplomas. So until the latter year, the junior classes have been considered as the “seniors.'' The year 1921-22 the Misses Mildred Pratt. Ellen Reed. Louise Barnhart. Olive Shipe. Beatrice Harkncss. and others. (There are no records and memory is faulty) along with Earl Althen. William Radebaugh and others, comprised the “senior'' class list. Miss Pratt is studying voice. Miss Reed is a senior in the Arts college at Ohio State, while Miss Barnhart is to be found in a downtown department store. Miss Shipe is now married and resides in Worthington. Miss Harkncss attended Ohio State. Earl Althen is associated with his father in the rubber business with offices in Columbus while “Bill. too. is with his father, constructing roads throughout the state. Then, for the first time, an annual was produced recounting the experiences of the next group, that of 1922-23. Most of the class graduated from Grandview. J. Stewart Collins, after getting his sheepskin, went to Ohio State where he is a junior. Miss Marian Wright is also in her third year at the university along with Miss Anna Mills, whose home address is now Cleveland. Anthony Ruppersburg. Jr., of this class, is studying medicine at Lafayette college, in Pennsylvania. Ohio Wesleyan claimed Warren Sisson and Harlan Kirk, both being seniors at the Methodist school this year. Miss Eleanor Harrop attended Ohio State for several years and forsook it to pursue other interests. The other two members. Miss Catherine Brown, and Edmund Dwyer, present no available records. IlL’O
