H. S. On the seventh of September. IN 1922 We were as green as the campus then, Bashful and so timid, too, But soon our class became gentlemen And ladies quite sweet and true. IN 1923 No longer we cried for childish joys- For higher things we were yearning, That's why they were proud to see begun L. H. S.'s new class of learning. IN 1923 With keenest interest we prepared, For our Worldwork Exhibition In most our lessons well we fared, Always thinking of life's mission. IN 1924 But, lo! Our success in school Art Was worthy, you will agree, We did our work with all our heart And with greatest pride, you see. IN 1924 In the social world we figured too, With merry song and toast and jest, And at the Junior-Senior banquet We were certainly at our best. IN 1925 As years went on we rightly claimed A share of wisdom's store-- We rivaled Renaissance scholars In their love for Ancient lore. IN 1925 BUT, NOW- With wonder we gaze at the Mansion red And it's tower with memories hung, The Campus green in the brilliant sheen Of these our praises true we sung. IN 1926 AND, NOW- Honored and fetedg admired and loved, Pride and joy of Leetonia High Classmates vie in wishing her well When the parting day draws nigh. IN 1926 YES, NOW- 'Tis true we wish to stay, but alas! ' Part we must sooner or later, We, therefore, with heart loyal and true Bid farewell to our Alma Mater. IN 1926 -BETTY CIMINELLA '26. 23

Jacobs, an Irish contractor, borrows a plot of land from Jerry on which to store some building material and Jerry uses this to lead Mr. Henderson to believe he is starting a mill of his own. Sarah, a very romantic office girl, continually listening in, hears things which were not meant for' her ears and usens this information to Jerry's advantage. Burke, a crooked sales manger, also a competitor for the hand of Fay is discharged by J. T. In the end, Jerry receives Burke's job and marries Fay. Rah! Rah!
