Longwood Transcript LONGWOOD COMMERCE HIGH SCHOOL CLEVELAND, OHIO Presented by the Senior Classes of 1924 Preface Elizabeth Zelinsky, June '24 Some day this book will prove a treasure, When its covers are old and worn. Some day it will be a source of pleasure. And you will feel less forlorn. Each page will recall some happy day, Some happy schoolmate or happy thought. Each page will serve as a bright little ray, To pierce the gloom Time has brought. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN^ 4 THE LONGWOOD TRANSCRIPT Emma J.

A. BATHRICK Longwood's Principals To the Students and the Annual Editor of Longwood: It seems quite natural to be writing a letter for Longwood's first Annual, because I was associated with many of her first things. I was the first member of the faculty appointed, made the first program, pressed the button for the first recitation bell, saw the first basketball victory, likewise the first football defeat, went without lunches through the first term, fathered the first Student Council, godfathered the Lantern, its first publi­ cation, and presided at the first commencement. You students of Longwood have reason to be proud of the growth and development of your school, in its brief six years of existence. While you cannot look back upon the beginnings I have mentioned, you are privileged to look forward to placing or maintaining Longwood in the first rank. When you are out as I am you will, no doubt, think of the years spent there as very happy ones. So also does the First Principal H. A. BATHRICK. To the Students and the Annual Editor of Longwood: Longwood changes. Old faces go, new faces come; but the spirit of Longwood changes only to grow a little more eager, a little more intense, a little more loyal. Longwood, when I came there in the fall of 1920, was well estab­ lished; and I had three years of the finest fun in the world, just watching things grow. I saw the graduating classes grow from 25 to nearly 200; the military company, with a prize winning captain, grow into a prize winning company; the Student Council grow in influence and in service rendered; the curricu­ lum grow in richness; and the debating teams and The Ledger grow to success. Best of all, you students were growing. I believe even I cracked my skin in a place or two. I am glad I had a course in Longwood. Congratulations to all of you on being there now. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM L. CONNOR.

Let us hope the process of evolution continues until some bright day we will wake up and find ourselves located in the new community, housed in that wonderful new building which all good Longwoodites have dreamed of for the past six years. I came to Longwood in February, 1919. Therefore, I too can speak from experience. I feel that I have, in a way, grown up with Longwood. Under the guiding hands of Mr. Bathrick and Mr. Connor what else can we expect as a result but a first class school. With a faculty second to none, a student body that is as loyal as ours is, it is only natural that all obstacles should be overcome. City Cham­ pionships, District Championships, State Championships and honorable mention in National High School affairs are some of the fruits of our efforts. If we maintain and improve this same Longwood spirit, I for one predict still greater things in the future. Those of us who remain will do our best always to make it possible for those who have left to point back with pride to Longwood as your high school. Sincerely, WILLIAM L.
