Being Freshmen or “stargazers,” as some are called from their habit of looking at the tops of the doors for room numbers, is not so pleasant. The upper classmen seem to delight in worrying these simple youngsters who are almost reduced to tears or a great desire to fight many times the school year. This class of ’27 was no exception to the rule. September, 1923, saw us scared young Freshmen enter the new high school. The first days were chaotic. There were no desks or books and classes were conducted under the most trying circumstances. However, as things happen, we were finally drawn into the intimate school life. Talent for athletics was manifested by many in the class. Freshmen soon swelled the ranks in football, basketball, baseball, and track, taking honors in all events. In the fall of 1924 when we returned as Sophomores, we were welcomed by the new principal, Mr. Rice, and several teachers. The school began to make traditions for herself. The school paper, the Corn-Mentor, was established and named. Then came the campaign for subscriptions at the end of which it was found that the Sophomores and Juniors were to be the hosts, cooks, and bottle washers. About the middle of the year, the system of citizenship was organized. Two silver cups, one for citizenship and the other for scholarship, were presented to the school by the Parent-Teachers’ Association. At the end of the term it was found that the Sophomores had taken both. While the enthusiasm was high, a picnic was held at Mentor Beach to celebrate the ending of school. Our Junior year opened with everybody tanned and sunburnt from vacation. Regular school life kept the irrepressible Juniors down for a while but about January they broke out in candy sales. Everyone asked the meaning of this and in May the question was solved. It was the Junior-Senior Prom. Everyone enjoyed himself beneath the rainbows that covered the hall. When, finally after weeks of hard study and exams, school closed, we were very much surprised that the two cups, or at least one, were not ours again for the year. However, the annual picnic helped us to forget our grief at the close of school. September again! As Seniors we tried to uphold the dignity of our THE SCARLET AND GRAY position but failed before a week was up and degenerated into just human beings. Two new teachers had been added to the faculty and one of them, Miss Hossler, became our home room teacher. Being the leaders of the school, naturally we won both the Corn-Mentor and Annual campaigns. We furnished seven lettermen for the football team, whose glorious victories we celebrated in the banquet of the season. In basketball and again in track, the Seniors sent out representatives to win honors for the class. The Juniors gave a play, “Nothing but the Truth,” to finance the Junior-Senior Prom which was given April 30. We were received into a very real Japanese garden where we enjoyed ourselves for the evening. A week later, the Senior play, “Professor Pepp” was presented, and proved to be a success. Commencement night is more or less of a dream, a dream that comes true. If we remember our entrance as Freshmen with laughter, surely we will remember this last night with happiness. We feel proud that we can claim the distinction of being the first class to spend the entire four years of our high school life in the present Mentor High building. For some of us this is the end of school life, for others, the beginning of college; but all of us will miss our high school and the old familiar faces. Others will take their places but always we will keep a place down in our heart in memory of our high school days. Farewell dear school! Our parting days have come. The happy hours we spent as sands have run Down through the months and years we spent in thee. Thy rooms and corridors no more will be Our meeting place; no more thy rooms resound To ready laughter for the tales we found To while the hours away. The dreary days Have passed to other far more pleasant ways; And yet when years have flown, as ein they must, We’ll turn the page to one we thought unjust, To dream again of school days long gone by, The happy hours we miss as years now fly. So farewell dear school! Parting days have come, We’ll miss our work, our play, our joy, our fun. Then may the gods send gifts that none can tell To keep you ever ours; and fare you well. —Helene Bereit c eSfeP THE SCARLET AND QRAY c twenty-three 3 (t 3 vt i - � O c -J Wallace Edith Suy r.KalSne M-garet ' mfP11'' 'K ’ Pauline Bevington.

At the class meetings, committees were appointed and plans were begun for the Junior-Senior promenade, which was dated for April 30. The treasury was built up by the sale of candy at the football and basketball games and at the picture shows. Food sales on Saturdays were another resource for funds. The Juniors presented a three-act comedy, “Nothing But the Truth,” with a cast composed only of class members, and later in the season sponsored the showing of a popular motion picture. The Junior Class was well represented in the school orchestra, the Corn-Mentor staff, the athletic teams and various other curricular activities of the school. The Juniors also gave a minstrel show in assembly and repeated it at a regular meeting of the P. T. A. Mr. Gutridge, the homeroom teacher, helped the class with its many projects and directed the play. With the experience of three years, the Juniors hope to come back next year fully prepared to play well their parts as Seniors. Class colors are: Blue and Silver.

It is evident that the Sophomores have been well represented in every phase of this year’s school life. The class has seven members playing in the orchestra. Two of the class are lettermen on Mentor High’s County Championship Football team, and two of them received letters for participating on the basketball teams. Positions on the Corn-Mentor stall were held by Sophomores. Members of the class, by contributing towards the literary page added to its success. As an organized class we held our regular scheduled bi-monthly meetings, and when time permitted, interesting programs were given, which were sponsored by a committee and different members of the class. Our class, by putting forth its united efforts, gained the Citizenship and Scholarship cups for our share of the time. The Sophomores had the privilege of furnishing the school’s orator and reader for the annual Oratorical and Reading Contest. These two representatives were Russell Abbott, orator, and William Ware, reader. We were justly proud of the showing they made in the meet as representatives of Mentor High School and of our class. We hope that our next two years in school will be as progressive and beneficial as the first and second have proved to be. twenty-seven (t� 3 i O Armstrong eZerviah Bootl?a ney’ HainirnanWoodruff, Virginia Will ir u ranlf 1MiUsI ,Edgrar Dldkeylar eS Rh°dea' ,?ayard Gaia- William Davies.

The first day of school, last September, found forty-four scared young people welcomed to the Freshman Class. To get acquainted with the upper classes a Mixer was held. After several weeks of school, during which the Freshmen became accustomed to school regulations, the Corn-Mentor Campaign opened. With their usual enthusiasm, the Freshies got busy and at the end, it was found that they were one of the two winners. The next memorable break in the regular school life was Christmas, Santa Claus visited the gym, giving presents and toys to all. Following vacation, exams loomed up ahead. Horrible tales of flunking, told by the upper classmen, were found to be myths. A bob ride was held to celebrate the overcoming of this obstacle. An assembly scheme had been worked out in which each class was to have charge of one assembly program. The Freshmen gave a play, “The Teeth of the Gift Horse,” to do their part. The Class contained much talent, later seen in the Oratorical and Reading Contest. It was in the Interclass contest that Dorothy Howells, orator, and Effie Peck, reader, represented the Freshmen. Spring found the Freshmen anxious for vacation. Surplus energy was left out at the Interclass Track Meet where the class took third place. The close of the year showed material for football, basketball, and track when the Freshmen class would return to school in the fall as dignified Sophomores. twenty-nine GC,'S ,,0,“ley- Adele '“« ■ ««■ V'hite, hWoS I?.!, Franhcerin,LuA,lhd Ch' He'e C m� r- K’“h thel Fift row MA arer Cravvf?rf‘ EleanorHausmun.

Since we have been able to keep both scholarship and citizenship banners most of the time, it is ample proof of our having “knuckled down” to our studies. At the beginning of the year we elected our class officers and under their direction have carried on the work of the year. Regular class meetings have been held every other Tuesday. In the Corn-Mentor Campaign we won and we enjoyed the banquet which the seventh grade gave us, Um! Um! All the good eats! Our luck didn’t hold for we lost out in the Annual campaign. We thought we had won and were about to open the box of candy which had been given us when we were told that a mistake had been made and the box of candy went to the seventh grade. Oh, well, it was April 1st, so it must have been all right. Our class has had representatives in the various school organizations, the Student Council, Corn-Mentor Staff, Orchestra and under the leadership of Mr. Gutridge we have had an interesting Junior High Glee Club. We have participated in athletics, especially basketball. The Junior High basketball teams played several games. And the parties. Oh, yes! we had some and they were fun, too. thirty-one CtTc THE SCARLET A HD QRAY SEVENTH GRADE OFFICEES President....... Vice President. Secretary....... TBreasraarer..... . Cheer Leader ..

Fate' was against us in regard to the citizenship and. scholarship banners.. They didn't seem to like to be hung in our room for they went to the eighth grade room and stayed there.. Just because our rivals won the Corn-Mentor contest and were banqueted: by us, they thought, that, they would enjoy the box of candy from the annual contest.. Mot so. however !!

Com-Mentor The school term of ’26 and ’27 marked the third year of the student publication, “The Com-Mentor.” The staff of the paper has endeavored throughout the year to make the paper interesting and to portray to the best of its advantage the events of the school life. The number of subscribers has been larger than ever before, the total being 500. Under the supervision of the English department, credit in English work has been given to those who write articles for the paper. The “Com-Mentor” was entered in the sixth annual high school publication contest and received first honorable mention in class five. A meeting of the Editor-in-Chiefs and News Editors was held at Western Reserve College. Dorothy Quincy and Edith Buyer were the delegates from the school. Talks were given by noted newspapermen of Cleveland. thirty-five XzP THE SCARLET AND GRAY ScKool Song Tune: “Sing Along” Oh Mentor Hi School is our pride, Our joy, our hope, our friend, And we shall keep fair thoughts of her Until life’s journeys end.

Orchestra The school orchestra, under the able leadership of Mr. Francis Hendry and assisted by Mr. Hole and Miss Butler, has made great advance this year both in number of members and in musical productions. The orchestra started two years ago with only nine members; last year there was an increase of seven new members and this year it numbered about thirty. It has been by constant practice that the orchestra has advanced to its present ability of music interpretation. The orchestra has been very active this year, taking part in assemblies, playing at P. T. A. meetings, at basketball games, banquets, the Junior and Senior plays, the oratorical contests, commencement and various other school entertainments. It has played at many other schools and it represented Mentor High School in the first music festival held at Painesville. forty THE SCARLET AND GRAY C cS P First row—(sitting)—Helene Berett, Gertrude Booth.

Orators and Readers About the beginning of the second semester each year, the literary genius of the school blossoms forth under the guise of orations and readings. To aid this group of aspiring youth, an interclass Oratorical and Reading Contest is held annually. From the worthy participants, selected from class and assembly programs, one reader and one orator are chosen to represent the school in the county contest. So the third annual Interclass Oratorical and Reading Contest was held March 9. Rivalry existed between the classes as each wished to win. All the orations and readings showed excellent effort. The two winners were Russell Abbott, orator, and William Ware, reader. “The Greatest Foe of Civilization” and “Hiram and the Bolshevist” were the subjects, respectively. The county contest was held at Mentor, March 18. Mentor succeeded in winning third place in the reading contest. forty-one THE SCARLET AND Q RAY Dramatizations The students and friends of Mentor High School have enjoyed a number of good plays during the past year. We see the possibility of having a number of artists among our Alumni in future years. The first play of the season “Cinderella” was given in assembly by the French class. On all sides was a French atmosphere which the orchestra helped by playing “Village Chimes,” a French selection. The cast was: Dorothy Quincy, Cinderella; Charles Cole, the Prince; and Esther Logan ar.d Eleanor Marsh, the cruel step-sisters. The second play was given by the Junior class. On the misty night of February eighteenth, they presented “Nothing But the Truth,” a modern comedy in three acts. The large auditorium was packed with an eager public who came to witness the Junior’s ability. This play was a success from all angles. The main characters of the cast were: Bob Bennett played by Reginald Harding, E. M. Ralston by Paul Smith, Dick Donnelly by Robert Robertson, Gwendolyn Ralston by Edith Buyer, Mrs. Ralston by Gertrude Booth. The plot of the play centered around E. M. Ralston with a domestic difficulty caused by the two chorus girls and the selling and reselling of bogis stock. Much of the comedy of the play centered around Bishop Doran, played by Burton Remley. The last play of the season was the annual class play given by Seniors. “Professor Pepp” was the name of the comedy, which was directed by Miss Young. The main characters were as follows: Peterkin Pepp was a small college town professor, who got into difficulties over a practical joke played on him by an old student. When C. B. Buttonbuster, a giddy old man, came to the college and fell in love with the girl his son was engaged to marry, these difficulties were increased. Petunia Miggins, the hired girl (played by Helene Bereit) and Sim Batty, village constable (played by Edward Kinsley), furnished much of the comedy. These plays show the talent that is developing in the school and much can be expected from future classes to uphold these splendid efforts on the part of the students. Professor Pepp......... Mr. C.

Raymond Board of Treasurers The Board of Treasurers is one of the most vital organizations in the school. The system simplifies the handling of money and permits a good check on the financial status of the school. The Board consists of treasurers, elected by each of the four classes, and of social, athletic, Hi-Y, Corn-Mentor, Student Council and Annual Treasurers. These members work with the General School Treasurer and Miss Messer, the Commercial Teacher. All money received by the various treasurers is entered in a general account in the bank. A withdrawal slip signed by the treasurer and a member of the faculty is necessary before any money can be drawn on the account. All bills are paid by check made out by the General Treasurer. This plan eliminates the handling of currency. Those connected with the board acquire excellent training which will be useful later on whether in school or out. forty-four THE SCARLET AND QRAY Q3S P First row—Jerold Gano. Robert Ahlman.

Hi-T Club Throughout the year the Hi-Y Club has held its place in the school as one of the clubs to promote higher ideals through clean sports and clean living. Many activities have found a place in the club this year, among them being the sending of a group of delegates to the State Older Boys’ Conference at Lima, complimentary schedules for football and basketball games and an induction ceremony at Fairport Harbor to start the new Harbor Club on its way. The discussions in the club meetings have formed a source of valuable information as well as being at the same time a pleasure. One of the largest and most profitable movements was a “Find Yourself Campaign.” In this, talks were delivered by men of high standing in vocational training. It helped the members to a great extent, to choose their course of training after leaving high school. The officers for next year have been chosen and they are William Ahlman, president; Jerold Gano, vice president, and William Ware, secretary-treasurer. forty-five THE SCARLET AND QRAY Costco?

Social Board The General Social Eoard of Mentor High School is composed of eight members, four teachers and the social chairman from each class. The teachers are appointed by the principal; the pupils by their class presidents. Each class has a social committee of four which works with the General Committee. This year the General Social Committee has supervised the following social activities: Freshmen Mixer, Football Banquet, Christmas Party, Basketball Treat and the Kid Party in the form of an Indoor Track Meet. For these activities each class had its assigned amount of work. This system helped to make each party a success. An outstanding function was the Indoor Track Meet. This was the most humorous event of the season. The pupils were divided into groups each having a leader and taking the name of some college. Much enthusiasm was aroused and the party was a real success. forty-six THE SCARLET AND GRAY First Row—(sittinir)i—Alice Dickey, Arlene Cole Dorothy Quincy, Marion Cole. Susanna Ware.

Student Council The Student Council was organized this year, to fill the need of some student representative body to promote higher ideals and to take charge of some of the functions of the school. It was formed of four members from the Senior class, and three from each of the other three classes of the Senior High and in addition, four members were chosen from the Junior High. Miss Hossler and Mr. Tischendorf were appointed as faculty members, with Mr. Rice as an honorary member.

Tischendorf Miss Edna Messer Athletic Directors Mr. Tischendorf has, this year, trained the boys in all phases of athletics. Especially was his careful and clean sportsman training evident in the football team which so well represented M. H. S. this year. The basketball and track teams, a part of which were new material, showed the willingness and co-operation of the boys under his training. The girls’ basketball team of this year was successfully piloted under the coaching of Miss Messer. Much of the material for the team this season was new and it was through her constant and persevering training that the girls were able to meet their many opponents on the basketball floor. fifty The footb.T greatest seasons, greatest teams in her her first chance at it by the County was greatly raised. Starting the season with eight lettermen, the fighting spirit of Mentor’s football players into the that the Scarlet and Gray became a formidable team v up till the final whistle had been sounded. The first game went to the more experienced and further Lakewood Lightweights by a 7-0 score on the Lakewood field. Mentor won her first County game at Perry by a 12-6 score, back in the last half to overcome Perry’s lead of six points by two touchdowns on long passes and end runs. The first home game resulted in a 0-0 tie with Bedford. The Scarlet and Gray threatened to score in the second half when Ahlman fifty-one 107 .9 berths voted the abilities and and his ability also. Gano was given stopping plays and blocking a guard position because of his ability line, and to get through and pull down the d start. - )S summed up as one in which Mentor won the her first attempt by winning all county games and losing-one and winning one in her other three contests and placing-men on the All-County Teams. THE SCARLET AND Q'R A Y First row—(sitting)—Dorothy Howells, Josephine Markell, Marion Davies. Second row—Miss Messer, Esther Logan. Edith Buyer, Helene Bereit, Margaret Wallace, Esther Kyatta, Elizabeth Jensen, Irene Babcock. Eleanor Ingersoll. Girls’ Basket Ball Although last year the Mentor girls’ team won the championship, this year luck changed. After several practice games Mentor began the season with Euclid. Though the girls started with enthusiasm and pep, the game ended with Euclid leading. The next two games were with Painesville and Willoughby. The girls came through with a victory over Willoughby. The game at Fail-port ended with Fairport in the lead. Madison was the next game the girls played and ended with a score of 23-13 in Mentor’s favor. When Painesville came, the girls tried their best but the score ended with a loss. The next two games the team lost to Perry and Madison. The last game was played at Willoughby. Though well played, the game was lost. The girls, coached by Miss Messer, kept their spirit though defeat crossed their path occasionally, and should be commended for the way they represented Mentor High School. fifty-three THE SCARLET AND GRAY First row—Leonard Booth, Robert Robertson, Kenneth Daniels. William hlman Earle Logan. Second row—Mr. Tischendorf. Raymond Munz. Robert Ahlman, Ned Wallace Reginald Harding-, Robert Van Horn. William Ware. Bo s’ Basket Ball The Basketball season of ’2(i-’27 was not an entire success in games won, but the experience gained by the players who will carry next year’s work has been great and will be of much help to them. Mentor has entered Class A, and though defeated often, none were of great scores. The season began at Euclid Central, starting Mentor with a loss of 38-13. Painesville continued Euclid’s work and then Mentor won a victory over Orange. However, defeat came next at the hands of Willoughby, Fairport, Madison and Painesville. Our old Class B rival, Perry, was then played with Mentor winning. Three more games were played after this, Fairport and Willoughby each winning, while the first Mentor victory in Class A series was taken from Madison. The team had a score of 242 points, of which Robert Ahlman scored 109, to the opponent’s 338. c eSfeP THE SCARLET AND GRAY C 3S P First row__(sitting:)—Louise Pape, Kleanor tngcrsoll, Pauline Dayton.

Girls’ Track In the interclass track for the gills this year, much new material was found—especially Roper, Howells, Kenninger and oodruff, from the Freshman class and Wallace from the Juniors. Ingersoll, a Sophomore, Babcock, Junior, and Logan, Bereit and Markell from the Seniors also helped to carry on the work of last year’s team. Two new events were exercised for the girls this year—the walking race in which Hatcher starred and the hurdles in which Roper showed the greatest skill. In the dual meet with Perry, the girls won by a score of 36-30. They took several firsts and many seconds. Also in their schedule was a meet with Madison, held on the new cinder track at Mentor, May 13th. The girls’ track team also entered the County meet at the fairgrounds, May 18th.

Boys’ Track Mentor’s track prospects were good this year considering the work done last year at the county meet and having lost but one man to this year’s team. In the interclass meet, much new material was found; in the Junior class, Remley and Kephart, and in the Freshman class, Orvos. Remley showed up well as a dash man and Kephart as a distance runner while Orvos had speed and could do the low hurdles in fine style. The first dual meet with Perry was successful as far as Mentor was concerned for she tcok all but one first place in the boys’ section. Included in the schedule was a dual meet with Madison, held at the new quarter mile cinder track at Mentor, May 13th. Mentor’s success at the County meet depended much on the four seniors, Barnes, Daniels, Mellen, and Ahlman. These four were lettermen last year and starred for Mentor in their last year. flfty-six. c ca p THE SCARLET AND GRAY c 3e P LIBRARY GYMNASIUM fifty-seven THE SCARLET AND GRAY SEWING ROOM COOKING ROOM fifty-eigrht THE SCARLET AND GRAY f. t __£7 fifty-nine THE SCARLET AND QRAY SOCIETY ' 1' bvj 1 S ; rv SJ The first social event of the year was a party given by the upper class-men for the purpose of welcoming the new Freshmen. Presidents of the Senior, Junior and Sophomore Classes each gave a speech of welcome to them, after which the Freshman class president called forward each Freshman so that we might know him. Every one joined in the games, after which we were served ice cream, rolls, and weiners. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. At the close of a successful football season, the team is usually banqueted. Since our team were the Lake County Champions this year, the student body took the usual method of showing them how their work had been appreciated. A fine dinner was served by the Parent-Teacher’s Association. Then the captain, the coach, and others favored us with speeches, after which fourteen players received their letters. After examinations were over the students wished to become small children again. Consequently a “kid party” was held in the gymnasium. During the greater part of the evening, everyone joined in a track meet. The students were divided into groups, each group having the name of a college. A “kiddie car” race, balloon throwing, and a ball game were sixty C c� kP THE SCARLET AND Q R A Y CALEH SEPTEMBER- 13. School begins. Index to morning conversation: Have a nice summer?
