Literary: Reunion of the Class of '13 on June 13, 1938 (by Twyla Brookins)

"Everybody off the car?" called Bob
"You haven't left anything in the seat, have you Sadie?", asked H. Cutter.
There was a great commotion as the class of '13 got off the Painesville car at Willoughbeach. Everything was just as it had been planned - a picnic on the twenty-fifty anniversary of their Commencement. Such a crowd! Oh well they have all brought their families. Each girl is carrying a large basket with something very good inside. This is certain, for this class was always generous.

All of a sudden a great shout of laughter went up from the party: as President Barto took off his coat, a '13 shirt became noticeable. True it was rather faded and worn, but Bob always was patriotic.

The twelve o'clock whistle has just blown and already the "girls" have spread the white cloth on the long table. The men have gone off with cups to get coffee and water. Many young people who closely resemble members of the class and others are assisting about the table.

At last everything is ready and they take their places at the table. Miss Wyman sits at the head with a register before her; she has been requested to call the roll so as to find out more about the different members. She begins first with the officers of the class in their Senior year:

Crash! One of the legs has broken off a table and nearly has fallen to the ground. The first misfortune; well the class of '13 generally did bring some accident into it. All remember the time of the Halloween party out at Winters', and Miss Wyman's face especially turns pale and wan. Recovering from such terrible thoughts she proceeds with the roll.

After Reverent Moseley had asked the blessing, things were passed from one end of the table to the other and there was a great rattling of knives and forks. A chocolate cake with a figure '13 in the middle was watched closely by all eyes. All enjoyed themselves the rest of the day talking over old times and learning about the members of the class. Instead of going back on the street car arrangements had been made to return in hay racks, so at eight o'clock in the evening baskets and wraps were picked up an all prepared to leave for Painesville in the good old-fashioned way.

People living along the way came to their doors and opened windows to listen to the familiar song:
