Class History ln the fall of l9l3 a very fortunate event occurred, namely, the future class of 26 entered the Public School of Wadsworth. It was the beginning of Life's great race. Such a hale and hearty bunch, full of pep, and eager to learn the better things in life. Then through the years we went, parties, pic- nics, and hikes filled our time, then Junior High. During the seventh and eighth grades we felt quite dignified when we had six or seven different teachers, and had our first experience of changing classes. As we went through the halls mingling with the High School students, we began to wonder what Wadsworth High had in store for us. During the battle of these first eight years, new students joined us and many of our old friends left school to pursue other interests, or to attend other schools. Now we were ready to enter High School, l I0 strong, but only I8 of these had started in l9l3, namely l-larold Bassett, Jake Blough, Jim Daykin, Bob Gerstenschlager, George and joe Griesmer, Edwin Parker, Floyd Prince, Hugh l'lartzell, Mildred Kahl, Mildred Kurtz, Martha Styer, Madie Weaver, Mary Everhard, Elizabeth Sturges, Naomi Neely, Opal Nico- demus, and Mildred Hunsicker. Then came our High School career. Our class had the honor of being the first Freshman Class to enter the New Building. For many weeks we Freshies wandered about, dazed and wild-eyed, but we were destined to do something, we did-for now we are the Class of 26. During the Basket- ball season we soon found out that several of our boys had a big career ahead of them. During the basketball tournament the freshies were given the honor of having the strongest voices in the gym. Upon entering into the Sophomore Class, we still ran true to form, that is we were the most severe critics the freshies encountered. Outside of a few Sophomore parties, that's about all the Class did. Sophomores are very unimportant creatures anyway. Be that as it may, we suddenly underwent a complete change and be- came juniors, people of great consequence. We fully organized our class. Officers elected were, Edwin Parker, President, Ross Shenk, Vice president: Gertrude Watts, Secretaryg Charles Christian, Treasurer. We chose black and red as our colors. Then tradition urged us on and color fights soon ensued. During the height of our fun the Faculty forbade the sporting of our much honored colors at school. Soon after the election of officers, rings, pins, and sweaters, were or- dered, and about a month later the class members were sporting these, and the aforesaid articles began changing hands. At last we have reached the haven of Seniors. We have accepted the throne of the ZS Class, and have done much to keep it in high esteem. We are proud of our classmates who have put our class on the Athletic Mapg proud of the Loving Cup won by the boys in the inter-class tournament. Soon after school had taken up Senior Class officers were elected. They are: Edwin Parker, President, james Daykin, Vice President: Charles Chris- tian, Secretary, Anna Crarshman, Treasurer. We are grateful to the teachers who have stuck by us, and helped us along the highway of hard work. Eighteen boys and girls have managed to stick amid sunshine and storm, and now we call ourselves The Stickers, and we are hoping that we may continue to be stickers all through l..ife's journey. So in May when the fifty-five Seniors who have thus loyally defended the standards of the school, have completed years of work, we will cherish the memory of four happy years spent in W. H. S. As we pass on to the higher things of Life, we hand the Throne to the 2 7 Class, to love, honor, and esteem, as we of the 2 6 Class have tried to do. Twenty
