Der of the class
When we entered high school ouI
class numbered 5S, but since then
many have dropped out and others
have come in until tonight there are
is girls and 16 boys who will re-
ceive their diplomas.
A brief resume of the school ca
reer of each follows: The first to be
considered is a group of five-Esther
Whited, Verni Mills, Herbert Poor,
Eugene Moody and Lynn Mowat-
who started kindergarten together in
Ashland and have stuck by Ashland
ever since. These people claim that
they are the firm foundation upon
which the class of 1913 was built.
Edwin Dunn is also an Ashlander
with the exception of a couple of
years at the county seat Che went
there on account of judge). Ruth
Whitney is also almost one of the
elect since she spent but one year
of school away from Ashland. Bee

here with only a couple of years in
distant parts. Fay Carver went
through the grammar grades in
Phoenix and came to Ashland for
her high school course. Robert
Peachey has attended school in al
most every town, village and city in
the valley and finally settled upon
Ashland as the proper location.

but Ashland soon won her. Robert
Throne is another native Oregonian
who came here from North Bend.
Walter Phillips, although born in
Washington, first attended school in
Talent, where he learned to play
football With and throw rocks at Wis
iting Ashlanders. California soon
drew him, but after a couple of
years in that state he came back to
Ashland to play football on the same
team with his former opponents.
Blanche Salisbury vacillated between
Ashland and California, but, like
many others, finally decided upon
Ashland The state of Washington

Tennessee first heard Angela Bomar

in California schools and a return to
Tennessee she finally came here to
finish school. Elmer Ashcraft got
his early training bucking cyclones
in Kansas, but soon came to Ashland,
where he was put to bucking the
line. Although no one would sus-
pect it, Vivian Greer is also a native
of Kansas and came here after
brief stay in California. Florence
Olds and Nellie Beaver came from
Ohio, while Wisconsin claims Ed

that state. John Enders first played

here from Iowa, but had never
heard of MacCallister until arriving
