CLASSWAS KNOWN
AS BRILLIANT
EIGHTH GRADE"
1911 Class Carried More
HOnOrs Than Any Pre-
ceding Class.

Graduating from grammar school
this class of 1911 was known as the
brilliant eighth grade" Naturally,
when it entered high school, much
was expected of this sO-called bril-
liant" class. Turning to it's last
high school days we find that the
class has done very well in remain
ing notorious. First, in size it was
larger than any preceding class;
second, enthusiastically, it contained
more honor students; third, it won
more prizes.
The most outstanding work the
class did and one that, as far as any
one knows, has never been repeated
since was the publishing of high
school annual, "The EidolOn". This
is very entertaining little booklet
composed of pictures of all the
classes in high school at the time,
the faculty, and each member of the
class in some small way. William
Foulk poses as editor of the book
with his assistants: Mary Draper,
Edith Simpson, and Stanley Vibbert.
Classified advertisements state that
Joe Sipple was willing to sell much
cherished book - How To Get
Through School Without Studying"
Very up-tO-date, and would be en-
ioyed by this present generation, Mr..
Sipple. The Hospital Report lists
Helen Mahan as having been admit
ted September 20. Diagnosis re-
vealed that she had choked on a big
word. After administering a few
monOsyllables she was relieved"
Somebody's grind on geometry is ex-
pressed in a poem beginning:
"Tell us not in mOurnful numbers
GeOmetrys but an empty dream;
For the man is dead that wrote it
Whether it killed him remains to be
seem"
The president of the Senior Glass
also announced that he was ready
after June 1 to sell the classs entire
stock of school equipment at sacri-
flee. Just a few of the interesting
items are here included
This book was greatly influenced
and aided by one of the teachers,
Miss Davidson, who formed the Ger
man Club, "Deutscher Verein." The |
members cOrresponded regularly |
with German school children then
and profited by learning of the Ger
man customs and songs.
Some members were lucky enough |
to be allowed to go to Philadelphia |
with Miss Davidson to seee Shake |
spearean plays. After seeing Mac |
beth, Paris Carlisle came back with |
a rather vague idea of Lady Mac
beth's costume. Describing the cos
tune, Lady Macbeth had on some |
kind of thing er-er-green over !
Fred that looked like a-a-a wrap
peri"
Soon after the disasters of the
World War, the class came together |
to dedicate the school, Sargeants
Prophets" in memory of Paris Car
Isle whom all the members had ad-
mired for his sunny disposition and
scholastic standing.
After all these years the members
Of the class of 1911 have kept in
close contact with each other. AL
most every member knows where his
fellow members are living and what
they are doing. Two summers ago
Mrs. Haswell Pierce called together
