Tho I have not the- time to delve deeply into the past, I shall try in a brief way to trace the growth and de velopment of the present Class, which you see here represented, ' the first Class to formally grad Echo Public ' uate from the School. Just nine years ago the chry and it has been added to and substracted from until now its membership consists of the roses : of the class, four girls, and the thorns, five boys.

Our umpires, the teach school house during this period e,!i- have rendered fair decision, of time, the Echo school build-, and 110 one found u"lltv ing has grown into a five-roomed of dealing bases. A mile stone structure and its rooms are tilled hils boen successfully reached, to overflowing with happy, joy- even tI,ouRh our motto has been ous school boys and gi rls, whose "Ad astra Pcr aspera." loyalty can never be questioned. We, as a Class are prond of Variety is the spice of life and our achievements of the past, our Class has certainly had its yet we realize that the future share of spice in the matter of has much in store for us. Some teachers. Among the teachers who have boosted us alone the thorny path of knowledge, we find the following: Mr. Mink, Misses Duncan, Moorehouse, Pooler, Phillips, Mrs. Flora Foreman and the later teachers, Messrs. Cannon and Keeler, We appreciate the efforts and the kind care which they have given j us, and we are truly grateful for the aid and assistance they have rendered without which, this happy conclusion could not have been so easily attained. Perhaps a few statistics con- cerning my fellow classmates ' might interest you. The Class together weighs just 1084 pounds CLASS PROPHECY :: Ruth Godfrey 1 In ancient times, prophets were accustomed to suspend themselves on tripods above vol canic fissures or by observing the flights of birds and other natural phenonoma were want to tell forecoming events. Though I have not that volcanic fissure and am not evtn skilled in inter preting avian actions, yet by some peculiar workings of the fates, I am chosen to tell the future of each member of the class of 1909. And should my prophetic insight not please every member of the class, I mignt be destined to suner worse j perils than ever any volcanic! -fissure can produce. Even in this straight I think of the words of the poet: So near is trrandure to our dust, So near b God to man; When duty vrhUper low "Thou must:" The youth replies. "I can!" Some are bom great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them, yet each following his own ambition and native pro clivity, weaves out his own future destiny. Realizing how ever the necessity tor thorough preparation and equipment for future usefulness our class as a unit, not content with a mere one whose modesty will not allow t,n tn ,,. , , ,,er to "vulge her name, the i former being 5 feet 10 inches i and the latter 5 feet lH inches ; in height The Class as a whole is 16 yards 1 foot 1 inch long and ,the average height is 3 feet 4 4-." ! inches. And now I am about to tread on dangerous ground, the matter of a!'?- If Closs were j"st i one old man he would be a cen jturyandtwo score years old. 'The Class baby, as to aire, is easily Fee Esteb. The two eld est have seen seventeen sum mers, but for fear of the conse quences which might ensue, I hesitate to divulge their names. Thus reads the history of the one has said, the affairs of There is a tide in men, but there is no gulf stream setting forever in the same direction." We are anxious for further victories and we intend to "Hitch our wagon to a star," knowing that it is only through personal effort the top most round of the educational ladder may be reached. As Class Historian, I can but wish my fellow classmates suc cess. May it be said of them that the world is better for their having lived in it; may their several lives prove a blessing and benediction to their fellow men. High School educatio.n have rounded out their lives with a college career. Lift the veil of the future and note the change which Old Father Time has wrought. Twenty years has elapsed since that memorable night in May in the little white temple in Echo. A magnificent edifice of brick now stands in its place and the chimes are heard from the steeple, sounds which are sweet in the eventide. Echo has grown to a magnificent city with its cool shady avenues and boule vards. The hum of the factory and the whir of the electric car as it whisks up the well kept streets awakes the echos of the surrounding hills and the bowl of the hungry canine is heard no more as "Curfew tolls the knell of parting day." City life has forever banished the plebian sounds of yore. Music has charms however. The world has given us a Wag ner, a Straus, a Verdi, and a Jacobiski, a Madam Patti, and our class has given their part to the worlds great musicians. Stella M. McCullough, after studying under the great masters of America and the Old World, now takes the world by storm, by her beautiful voice and brilli m wm.ce Maicoim and ant songs. Her voice is r.eard in all the great musical circle and people come from far and wide to hear our former class mate, the American Night in gale. The business world needs un n of ability, who are prompt nnd always at their post of duty. The former traits of our former classmate, Frank Young, the boy who through rain or srnne braved the storms of winter in order to keep his record of at tendance and punctuality untarn ished, whose traits are not lost to him, as he runs his big Hank Establishment. And there is a rumor afloat that he has a hand in shaping the financial policy of our nation, the nation which now stands on the top most round in the worlds great system of fi nance. And who, pray tell, is this lady who may be seen alighting from her auto-car and entering the big Emphorium on the busy corner. If it isn't our old friend, Vina Houser!! And they say that she presides over a big house full of servants in her inter-urban home. While other foolish American girls fished for foreign counts and Dukes with empty titles, she did not fish at all, and the result is that she has a nice well furnished home and a big true-hearted American. Her home is the center of pleas ure and social delight and no queen ever presided over ner subjects with more graceful hos pitality than she. Entering the big store on the corner, you will find everything modern and up to date. The s moot he wellgroomed floorwalk ers and the pretty salesladies neat, and everything in the way of equipment burnished to the highest degree of brightness. Everything moves along with systematic accuracy, and well it should, for over the door of the neat little room designated as office, you will see in large plain letters: AntoxeCunha, Prop. Walk In. And he is the "man behind the gun!" Zena Houser has developed into a stern, dignified school ma'am. Matrimony has no charms for her, she would rather "teach the young idea to shoot" and her "Forty little urchins" think there is no one like Miss Houser. One of her former class mates however keep taking lessons after hours and you can't always tell what the result of the electioneering may be. But I have my doubts for as long as "she spares the rod and spoils the child" her heart will be too full of love for her boys and girls to take any outside party into the firm. Lawrence Malcolm, the Long fellow of the class, though not a long haired poet has turned out to be a Civil Engineer. His long spare frame has assumed vast proportions since he has finally finished the Panama Canal. His next scheme is to survey a sub ocean railway, and thus join the American and European contin ents with a rapid transit line. But now the prophetic mists become hazy and the air a som ber stillness holds. But the vision clears and I behold a mag nigcent audience of expectant people. And as the beautiful strains of the gigantic pipe or gan cease, a dignified young man, bright of eye and elert of gesture begins to speak. The whole vast throng almost held their breath as the great man stirs them with his magnificent elo quence. With fluent spech he teaches the gospel of "love" that great power which guides the world. Who would ever have thought that boy, Fee Esteb, so full of roguish fun and harmless mischief would have developed into a preacher! But thus "Old Father Time rings in his changes." Another great legal light has been added to the profession. Our old class mate, Willard , Atcheson, has never lost a case, ' and lie .s one of the few honest ! In....... . .. 1..
