A Shakespeare said, The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved by concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, strategems and spoils. It may be possible the dramatist made a slight mistake for there have been been a few worthy gentlemen, in the history of the world, whose love of music was not noticeable. Perhaps, if Shakespeare were writing today he might express it in a little different style, as, for instance: The man whose soul is filled with music, whose heart is glad and happy when he hears beautiful harmonies, whose whole being keeps time to a lilting rythm, is bound to be a jolly good fellow and a lover of that which is artistic, beautiful and refined. 1922 THE TRANSCRIPT 15 CLASS OF 1922 RAVENNA HIGH SCHOOL ORGANIZATION President ........... .......

Each Senic-r was in his place, and in the mind of each was the thought-the last time. For the last time they had taken their places at the sound of the double gong, the last note had been stealthily thrown, the last prank had been played, the last lesson, the last test passed. They wondered vaguely if they would be missed when they left school. It could hardly be so. Others would take their places and the class of 1922 would be forgotten. How queer it would seem not to come back next year, not to see the faces made familiar by four long years of pleasant associations. But these reflections were interrupted by the voice of Miss Feldner. There will be a Senior Class meeting at this time, she said. The Seniors filed into another room, perhaps a shade less noisily than usual, in the realization that this was '22's last class meeting. When the class had been called to order the President said: As this is our last class meeting it has been suggested that we let our minds travel back over these four years and each one of us tell something that has happened since we've been in High School. Of course you all remember the first day We were Freshmen and the loving greeting the other classes gave us. We had mighty good teachers that year, said Leeta, just as we've always had. They have the kind that seemed glad to help little Freshmen. There were more of us to trouble them, too. Yes, said Nina, the death of Esther Martin lost us one of the sweetest girls in the school. There were some who have dropped out too, continued Claude, There were-. We mustn't forget Eileen Brodie, said Elizabeth suddenly. Don't you remember the play she wrote for us to give at the entertainment we had for the boys when they won in the War Savings Stamp contest? Everyone said the Freshmen had the best number on the program. The Seniors had a class day that year that won't be forgotten soon, spoke up Irene. I have my score card yet. Who cared if the Freshmen did get the fewest points ln the end? It was lots of fun anyway. Do you remember how we tied the score in the basket ball game with the regular team? They had a champion team too. Of course it was the girls' game though, said Ralph. Trust Ralph to stand up for the girls, said someone. 'iWe had rhetoricals that year that made some of us shake considerably, contri- buted Lucille. The next year we were put in the assembly room. Do you remember the rumor that we weren't to be put in with the Juniors and Seniors, and how indignant some of us were? asked Edythe. Nothing much happened that year. Of course the girls won the school basket ball games, and cup, but we expected that, said Olive, as she carefully powdered her nose. Deane Hubbell joined us that year, said Daniel, and the ones who were taking the commercial course left us. , The next year was so much more interesting, said Blanche. We elected oflicers and made Claude Kingsbury president, Harold Ensinger, vice-president, with Earle Frank to take care of the money, and Myra Helm to do'the scribbling, and last and greatest Miss Feldner as class adviser. . That wasn't all. There were colors to select, and our class rings and pins and sweaters. The blue sweaters with white letters were very effective, beside showing the class colors, said Florence. We had hard lessons, too. Will we ever forget Mr. Ward, and Physics class? asked Nina. 24 THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 Don't forget the Junior class play, second to none, said Glenn. Trust Glenn to blow his own horn said Inez, but it was a good play and made lots of fun and work for us. Do you remember the classes we skipped? On the whole our Senior year has been the best, though the chapel talks were cer- tainly awful, and being examples for the other classes was rather tiring, said Kathleen. We lost one member this year, Annabel Albright, and gained three, Helen Hall, Blanche Swartz, and Lyle Sprottsburyj' said Clara, Do you remember the Weiner roast at Kingsbury's cider mill? And the fun some of us had running races with Mr. Edwards, said Helen. Better not forget the cider either. My, but that was good, said Deane. We had a watch night party at Earle's too. Every one had just a wonderful time, contributed Kathryn. We had such good things to eat. Speaking of eats, we had a dance and candy sale combined, to get money to pay our debts, didn't we? said Harold. Yes and a bake sale to pay some more debts. Really to look at us you wouldn't think we were so poor, would you? said Irene. Well, we weren't after the sale, answered Joe with a beaming smile. And- But the gong rang and the last class meeting was over. MYRA HELM. GOOD-BYE.. Another year will soon slip by And then we'll all be out of Highg Four years we've had all sorts of fun By passing notes and chewing gum. The Senior Class has always tried To give our High School cause for pride, So fill our place, oh, Junior Class, And do your best, is all we ask. Our High School joys are almost past, Commencement days are here at last. The Senior Class of Twenty Two, Now says Good-bye to all cf you. HELEN LOUISE HALL. 1922 THE TRANSCRIPT 25 THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT When one stops to think for a few moments of the great masses of so- called speakers of English, then of the varied types of the language they speak. there suddenly comes upon him the realization that culture, refinement and nicety of expression are almost rare. It is this realization that almost appalls the English Department when it faces its obviously gigantic task-namely, to overcome all that is vulgar and common, and to instill a love for the chaste, the choice, and the beautiful in our every day speech. For, after all, the tongue expresses what the soul feels. With this thought always uppermost, we have labored this year, as in every other year, to make the hearts of our lads and Iasses grow bigger, kin Aer and more true, and then to help the tongue express to the world this normal and healthy growth. We ask the co-operation of every other department in the school, as well as of every thinking citizen in our community in helping us to accomplish this task. MARGARET L. TRESCOTT. We are living in the' greatest age in the history of the world. Impossi- bilities of yesterday have become the commonplaces of today. It is the ru .C- tion of history to enable one to interprete the events of now by the liglwt of the events of then, and this is no unimportant mission. Through history we may become heirs of all of the past. Patrick I-lenry once said, I have no way of judging the future but by the past. The aim of the work in history this year has been to so underst'nfl 'hc great events and characters of the ages, that they may help us to solve the problems of today. Not facts, but great causes and results have been em- phasized. Back and forth over the roads of the past, to and fro over the roads of the present, and forward into the future, we must go to know history. W. HARVEY EDWARDS. Is the study of Latin waning? In this age of short cuts and snap courses, the general impression is in the aHirmativeg but such is not the case. Recent investigations, throughout the United States, show that the percentage of those who elect Latin is not decreasing. ln Ravenna High School, the percentage is increasing. Statistics kept for the last five years show that in I9I 7- I 8, 39.8 per cent. of our pupils elected Latin. From that date the increase has been gradual and this year, 45.6 per cent. are enrolled in Latin classes. To one interested in classical education, such a report is gratifying. MISS KIDNEY. 26 THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 4 We conscientiously feel that the courses in Science of this past school year will leave a lasting influence upon the lives of those boys and girls who have so earnestly and diligently applied themselves to the task which was theirs. It is not necessary that they should retain every fact and detail covered, but rather, on the other hand, that they should have gained from their study of Science, two things-first, that the results of modern science are concerned with every phase of human experience, and second, that the Scientist's way is recognized as the most reliable method. ln accordance with these principles have we thus directed our thoughts and efforts, that those Science students might have a broader and clearer outlook on life. MR. BATES. -0- -0- -0' . We often hear that the students enrolled in the commercial department are not capable of handling heavy courses-and that to some extent, is true. il-lowever, the business course can prepare a student to be proficient enough to earn a living by the practical application of his knowledge of busi- ness. Many Freshmen take a business course because they have not the funds to go to college. At a later time circumstances may make a college course possible, and then they are deprived of a further pursuit in their business sub- jects in order that they may prepare for college. A business course should be so arranged as to prepare a Senior for college entrance, or for an immediate entrance into business. More co-operation between the universities and high schools may bring about this twofold demand. Then no longer will business courses be looked upon as a 'idumping ground for failures from other courses. FLORENCE McKINLEY.

During the past month, it is true our interest has strayed to the out-of- doors -as Mr. Quaw's track squads were taking their annual exercise, and various other groups have posed for pictures. Our chief contribution to the atmosphere of the school has been that of onions, l understand, with various appeals to the organs of smell. E For the most amusing incident of our year, I beg to refer to Mr. Quaw. ' MISS CASE. -O' 'O' 'O' Mr. Quaw tells the following, as the most amusing incident of the year: The Domestic Science Class in the process of making soup. Strong odor of onions floating aloft.

Another year has slipped by and has witnessed the loss of several of our former classmates. Mabel Hindman, Frances Austin, Rockwell Hinman, Theodore Mackin, Raymond Dodge, Victor Donato, Clarence Ensinger and Kenneth Hill have left our ranks and are either attending school elsewhere or are laboring in a new field. Our new classmates are George Wallace, who comes from Akrong Vernon Leech, from Hudson Academy, and Mirza Manhard from Michigan. We sincerely hope they will remain to enjoy with us our last year of high school. We have been well represented in athletics this year. In the fall Irwin Miller and Harold Wascko upheld the Junior end of the football team. In basket ball season Ken- neth Jory, Harold Wascko, Bob Chapman, Irwin Miller, Nettie Garrett and Agnes Lee valiantly fought for their Alma Mater. , We feel that the Junior Class play was well worth the work and worry, and we are sure that our class advisor, Miss Kidney, deserves the credit for its success. Both even- ings we played to a capacity house, and our treasury has as large it' not a larger fund than any previous class has had as a. reward for its theatrical productions. We again ex- press our gratitude to Miss Kidney. ' We have had fewer class parties this year than usual, but have thoroughly enjoyed those we have had. We still have the Junior and Senior reception and commencement to look forward to, and last but not least, our last year of high school life to which we are looking for- ward with mingled feelings of joyous expectation and regret. -0- -U- -of THE SENIORMGBILE.

H. S. but to our classmates, our teachers, our friends. We have striven four long years to ac- complish something worth while, and, above all, the aim of our class has been origin- ality. We have had some striking examples of this in these four years, and in order that we might not entirely be forgotten, fwe even dare to hope that we may be missed just a littlel, before our departure, we shall bequeath just a little of that which we have gained, to the following members and we sincerely hope that they will appreciate their bit, which we, of the class of '22 will to them. Claude Kingsbury bequeaths his presidency to Edward Trescott. Myra Helm bequeaths her studiousness to Marjorie Myers. Earle Frank bequeaths his business ability to Robert Chapman, Nina Lower bequeths her ability to argue to Marcia Loomis. Blanche Harris bequeaths her editor-ship to George Alexander. Joe Lee bequeaths his imagination to Edwin Krieble. Florence Everett bequeaths her fantastic toe to Pearl Likens. Harold Ensinger bequeaths wittiness to Darrel Mansell. Olive Caris bequeaths her powder puff to Agnes Lee. Paul Baker bequeaths habitual teasing to Eric Volman. Clara Goss bequeaths her athletic ability to Elizabeth Yeend. Helen Hall bequeaths her curly locks to Helen Dietrich. Elizabeth Barclay bequeaths her Delaware property to Helen McKay. Glenn Wood bequeaths his vanity to Mirza Manhard. Irene Richards bequeaths her jolly giggle to Frances Miller, Dean Hubbell bequeaths his good disposition to Harold Knapp. Kathleen Stewart bequeaths her natural waves to Ethel Kenward. The remaining members willingly bequeath their many and varied talents to the Freshman class. The last will and testament of the Senior class of '22, KATHRYN KEIDEL 1922 THE TRANSCRIPT 31 THINGS YOU NEVER EXPECT TO HEAR Miss Kidney- Latin is merely a pastime, and really is not of any worth. Mr. Quaw- I never eat Domestic Science productions. Mrs. Trescott- This year's Freshmen are more studious and brilliant, than any before them have been. . Mr. Edwards-H1 gladly excuse you from doing this hard proposition if you don't want to do it. . Miss Post- My first year Spanish class is so learned, that they outshine the Spaniards themselves.

CLASS REPORT We have always been a very lively class ever since we were in the Iirst grade tall our teachers will bear willing testimony to this factjg but the date of our formal birth as a class was September 7th or rather September 10th. This last date was widely celebrated throughout town, Some messengers were even taken to the neighboring towns to spread the glad news and their conductors were so impolite as to make them walk back. But we all arrived safely home and attended school the next day, seventy in number, the largest class that has ever entered High School. As Freshmen we were a very extraordinary class. Many before us have laid claim to this title but no one ever deserved it as we did. We were especially brilliant in get- ting lostg Miss Feldner would come in and tell us at great length what to do and a minute later half the class would be lost and couldn't be found, But in spite of all appearances to the contrary we were exceptionally bright and filled a large space on the honor roll every month. Another illustration of this is the fact that we had two stories from our class in the Transcript. Frank Hall was the only football player from our class who received an R and although we had no first team basketball players, both our teams gotin the finals of the class games. If we hadn't been such a fast class, R. H. S. would not have taken away so many honors at the Trolley League Track meet. The girls who won R's for this are Myrtle Schoonover, Elizabeth Yeend, Lola Bleadingheiser and Evelyn Hasbrouck. We had a class dance in the Moose Hall. It was the first thing that we had ever undertaken as a class and it caused us a great deal of thought and argument but it was very successful, and was enjoyed by all. - When June came, we were the happiest Freshies ever for our days of apprentice- ship were over and we would soon show the school what we were when we were not oppressed by the upper classes and we would help the ,next Freshies into unheard of difficulties. When school began again, we marched back, but not without some thoughts of truancy . There were sixty-six of us this time. We proudly filled our places as Sopho- mores, and no one can say that we did not line up to the full meaning of our name in all respects. Indeed, we were so proud that we almost erased the other classes from the Assembly. Our only social function was a Wiener and marshmallow roast held at Brady Lake at Hall's cottage. Miss Feldner was the chaperon and almost all the class attended. We are distinguished in both athletics and studies. We had three letter men in football: Carl Winkler, Frank Hall and E'dwin Kriebleg one in basketball, Rox Van- Campeng and three girls who received their R's for basketball, Myrtle Schoonover, Elizabeth Yeend and Marcia Loomis. Our class games were .great disappointments as neither of us got in the finals as we hoped to, but we were both beaten by very small scores. Our Sophomore year has been a very happy one in all respects but as we look forward to the other years with many anticipations because then we wiil reap the joys, which we have just begun to taste in this year of our toil of the preceding years.

Wrig 38 THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 F RESI-IMAN CLASS The Freshman Class was given the usual honor of an initiation by the Sophomores. Much to the surpise of the initiators we were all quite willing to go through the ceremony necessary to becoming real Freshmen. We had fully as much fun, if not more, than they did and we hope to give the class next year just as good a time as we had. Our color, of course, is green but we don't object to it at all and realize it is always used to complete the beauty of every color grouping. We have had a few parties during the year at which we played games and danced and generally had a good time. Refreshments were always in abundance and very care- fully and daintily prepared. In the basket ball class games, although both the boys and girls teams were defeat- ed, but not badly, still we feel that they deserve some credit for doing their best. In the games with the eighth grade we won and were presented with a brand new tin cup as a reward. Our friends, the Sophomores, were the donors of this expensive gift and we all appreciated the honor which they had bestowed upon us. The class as a whole hasn't a high average of scholarshipg yet it was a Freshman boy who saved the honor of all of his sex by keeping his studies up to the necessary aver- age to be on the honor roll when not another boy in the high school was on it. We take up quite a space on the exemption list even if we haven't so many on the honor roll as some other classes. Next year we will take our place in the school activities as Sophomores. We have all enjoyed our Freshman year but are eagerly anticipating the pleasure of looking down on next year's Freshmen.

There we were marching 05 to school, feeling sure that we should like Junior High much better than the lowly sixth grade or the still lower grades below that. Of cours-e, the higher grade, especially the Seniors, looked down upon us, but, in our minds at least, we were their equal. When the doors iinally opened we were herded into rooms, two in a seat. Naturally, in our innocent minds, we were to be seated this way for the remainder of the school year. But no, we were soon assigned to regular report rooms. We were next divided into divisions, given a schedule and told to follow it. Then came days of confusion. It was no novelty in those first few days to see some bewildered, scurring to and fro in frantic haste, trying to find the right room. A schedule should have been posted on the bulletin board accompanied by a set of instructions on How to Get to and From Rooms or a Lost and Found column so that any teacher finding, say, half a dozen pupils missing could go to this column, and thus save sending some one on an exploring trip for the missing. After a week or two the novelty of Junior High wore off, and now we are counting the days until the summer vacation. About the middle of August, however, we will be waiting for school to open, and when it finally does, we, by that time eighth-graders, will be looking down upon the ones who will be just starting in Junior High.

I have been on the walls of this school house for about thirty years, and have seen many children come and go in that time. A great many funny things have happened and of course some which are less funny, especially when the teacher uses the paddle. There were some queer mistakes made by the pupils in Civics Class. A boy named John Maydak, was asked to name the chief building of the county in which its business was carried on. He promptly answered, The county house. Another day in the same Civics Class the teacher, Mrs. Chapman, asked Victor Caris if he would give a definition for invention. He said that an invention was putting out something which had never been put out before. That same day she asked what it meant to pass a law over the President's veto Howard Barton answered, To pass a law over the President's veto means to pass it over his head. After school that night, the blackboard, picture and I decided that when the President bought a new hat he bought it for his veto. You all know New Jersey is growing popular by the line radio programs which they are broadcasting from Newark. Well, this little incident has nothing to do with the radio, but about a history class at which I was present last year. Miss Smith asked Lillian Lange how New Jersey got its name. She quickly informed the class that it got its name from the Jersey Cows. I laughed so hard at this that I had to cover my face with my hands. This was quite a joke and was remembered for a long while. Everyone knows a lad by the name of Robert Elliott. He is well known by the pupils of R. H. S. but what I have to say about him is that if his intelligent answers in class have anything to do with it, he is sure to become President of the United States. In this diplomatic class I might also place Masters Roy Yonts and William Loomis. These boys will appear on the pages of history sooner or later. Occasionally the English class is visited by Supt. E. 0. Trescott. On one of these occasions the class was parsing verbs and of course everyone wanted to do his best be- fore the Superintendent. The teacher called upon Peter Rosenthal, whc-m you no doubt have met at the Strand, to parse the verb bring. He made a splendid start, but when he came to the principal parts he stopped and thought a minute, then answered: The prin- cipal parts of the verb bring, are bring, brang, brung. The class roared furiously at this and was aided by Mr. Trescott, the teacher, the blackboard, picture and me. Of course you all know the girls don't make as many blunders as the boys, but they make some. I won't mention any here as I might get into trouble. There is one thing I have noticed lately, and that is the number of girls who have had their hair bobbed. The blackboard says he likes it, but the picture and I don't agree with him. Now I guess I have talked enought except to tell you one joke on the teacher. The class had been talking about some back woodsman making a sun dial and a cheese press, and Mrs. Chapman in explaining something about this said she was making a cheese dial. I laughed so hard over this that I broke a spring and had to go to the jewelers for repairs. I have told you of some of my experiences as a schoolroom clock, and know you would all like to have my position, THAYER DIETRICH. 42 THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 SPRING. Spring at last is here, With many a busy bird, Whose songs of love and cheer By many a soul are heard. 'Tis April, bright and fair, The buds now fill the trees That once were cold and bare, And swayed in the Winter breeze Spring brings the sweetest flower, That blossom every where, It brings the refreshing showers That cool the bright Spring air. The evening is warm and still, The wind has ceased to blow, While over the distant hill Comes the cattles' plaintive low.

FRED CARNAHAN- This little incident occurred, In the days of old when boys were bold and teachers held mild sway. The classes recited, seated upon benches in front of the Principal's desk. These benches were made to fasten to the floor, but were not so fastened. The class filed into position and was seated at a tap of the bell. On two or three occasions, the boys threw themselves against the back of the bench with such force that it tipped back and fell, the boys' heads being on the floor and their feet in the air. Our gentle and cultured Principal, Miss Bowman, protested and one boy remarked that the benches tipped so easily that it was difficult to get seated without tipping them over. One boy said that he thought they could recite through their heels as well as through their heads. Miss Bowman replied that most of our brains seemed to be in our heels. The incident culminated when the Superintendent, in the person of D. D. Pickett, informed us that if repeated each boy involved would be given a long recess. After that the bench was lirm as if bedded in a rock. -4.-.g.j.gi MR. CHAS. AUGHENBAUGH- A In the year 1893, Thomas Gage, the good old janitor of the Bowery School, had a severe attack of rheumatism, which a sympathetic quartette of budding scientists agreed to cure if he would put himself in their care. He agreed and was conducted to the physics laboratory and put upon an insulated platform and in each of his hands was placed a tin tube containing a wet sponge and connected with an induction coil whose core was controlled by one of the quartette. This coil was connected up with some good cells and would have caused no trouble had not the boy who held the core accidentally dropt it full length into the coil. For one afflicted with rheumatism Mr. Gage was a shockingly lively and active performer, and altho his rheumatism was completely cured, his faith in the quartette of benevolent young gentlemen, who wrought the cure was greatly shaken. 1 .,..-.g.-Q., MISS KIDNEY- The Class of 1905, of which I was a member, chose three, instead of two, class colors. When the matter came to a vote, the boys voted for red and white because they wanted red sweaters with white numerals. The girls' choice was gold and white because these colors made a beautiful combination for decorations. After heated discussion, a com- promise was made and crimson, white and gold were chosen. Certain members of '04 and '06 referred to our selection as red, white and yaller. 1.9.-.g.-4.7 MRS. RIDDLE- Of the early days when the High School was housed in an old building, just west of what was the Town Hall, and which had been used for a grocery, too old at that time, even for such a purpose. Imagine the young ladies and gentlemen of the present High School being satisfied with such a place. The room is connected in my mind with the hanging of John Brown, patriot in the North, traitor in the South. On December 2, 1859, the High School, sat in silence with all work stopped while the church bells were tolled fir the passing of his life. His soul goes marching on. 1922 THE TRANSCRIPT 45 MR. AND MRS. ECKLER- Of the wordy battle between the boys and girls as to the merit of the dandelion and violet for class flower. Of the choosing the pin at Eck1er's and the ensuing trouble. Of the old A Grammar room and the various sayings and names written on the board and on the globe. Of the throwing of books out the back windows. Of the sleigh rides to Bacon's in Edinburg. Of the sugar camp trips to Beery's. Of the familiar phrase of Mr. Turner's, Where is that noise coming from? 1.5.-.q....g., MRS. TORRENCE, DETROIT- Having graduated in 1888, I belong to the old regime. The days of Mr, Pickett, Miss Gates and Belle Catlin, as we liked to call her, and she was a real Belle in the eyes of her pupils. We played catch in the basement and danced in the halls and waded in snow drifts, for which we were severely reprimanded, but the Class of '88 never lost its spirit. ....q.--.g.--.g., The happenings which stand out most vividly in my memory are: How Jenkins embraced Patty in the Class Play, Mr. Bob , How our undefeated tean- went home in pieces after the Shaw game: how Hony Dietrich and Doc Conaway started the Transcript and how the Athletic Committee just made expenses after four strenuous days of ice cream, lemonade C?J and hot dogs at the County Fair. CAL. M. BOLSTER. -.,.....-...- The Class of 1864 was considered a very large class. Seven girls and two boys. The anniversary was held in the Town Hall. The gowns of the period were very extravagant in material. Loop skirts were at their zenith. The last two years we often were sum- moned to come to the Town Sales to assist in picking lint to be sent to Military Hospi- tals for our wounded soldiers. MRS. SEYMOUR. 1 --o--o---o- The request to write something for the Transcript naturally brings to me my earl- iest school recollections. My flrst public school attendance was in an old building on North Prospect Street in the rear of Riddle Block No. 11. This was an over-flow school, so even in those days we had the problem of more school rooms. Earlier than that I was a visitor at the old Chestnut Building which then had a fence in front with turnstiles. It was in the Grant and Greeley Campaign and one was called the Grant gate and the other the Greeley gate. South of Riddle Avenue on Chestnut Street there was quite a hill with banks to the traveled road way and in winter this was used for coasting and sliding. The hall at Chestnut Street was built in 1876 and used for school entertainments and for a while for Commencements. It was soon abandoned because it was regarded as a fire menace. I think our Class of 1883 was the last class graduated from the old Chestnut Street building. WILLIS BECKLEY. THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 Standing- E. TRESCOTT .. E. FRANK ,... D. HUBBELL ..,,,. G.

And it is a ques- tion, not without reason. Naturally enough, when one considers the amount of work and initiative required to edit a school paper, one wonders whether it is worth while. ' But, on the other hand, Do we not want to be a live, wide-awake, progressive school?? Certainly, you answer, But what connection have these things to an An- nual? Perhaps we would do well to express our views. As we see it, there are five good reasons why the Transcript is worth while. 5 Pri- marily, it is a connection link between the student who is acquiring an education, and the public which is making this education possible. ' Secondly, it developes a sound, healthy spirit of rivalry in the literary activities' of the school, as well as helps to give our athletes part of their just credit thru recognition of their efforts. Thirdly, the alumni are brought into closer contact with the present student body, bringing perhaps, some influence into the lives of the pupils, and furthering the interest of the Alumnus in these same pupils. Fourth, the editing of an Annual serves as an extra educative branch of the school. It furnishes business training, and responsibilty, which give students the actual practice of the thing heretofore taught to them. And finally, the Transcript is a bond between you and every student in the school, not only at the present time, but in the future. It brings about unity, one-ness, and school spirit, which every student ought to know for his Alma Mater. 1 Let us add, that before you criticize this Transcript too severely, that you please as yourself, Could I have done as well, or better? And remember that we have tried to do our best and to make this Transcript the best ever. If it-pleases you, tell othersg if not, tell us. THE EDITORIAL STAFF. 48 THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 FIND Tl-IYSELF THEN KNOW THYSELF. A final word from the Principal to the Class of '22, As we look back over the four years of pleasant, and almost constant associations in the interest of a High School or secondary education, we may recall to mind many consultations that have been held in that course of time, individually and collectively, in class room or private office. At first these consultations were for the most part inquiries or requests for enlighten- ment on the course of study or the selection of the most profitable subjects to be taken. Then came a time for approval or encouragement for those who questioned or even doubted the wisdom of their choice. Later, more from fate and less from circumstance, came the unsavory kind of consultations that smacked of admonition and reprimand vi hen the tension of attention to studies became too lax. In the last year, however, the consultations were more grave and serious in the nature of advice and directions for future guidance. No matter what the consultations of the past have been or the inquiries for the future maybe, the words Find thyself then know thyself, will hold an ever fitting and effective suggestion for solution. You must first find out what you are capable of doing and determine your standard of accomplishment, before you can hope to succeed. The various subjects or courses you have attempted in the high school are but so many crucibles in which you have had an opportunity to test your skill, your ability, your aptitude for the different things that cater to the preparation for future needs. In the crucible in which there has been the least dross there is where you will find your gift. The merit of a varied or differentiated high school or college course lies in this one fact that it furnishes all students alike, an opportunity to find themselves and then hav- ing found themselves to equip themselves with the knowledge of self-mastery as well as subject mastery. Some may find themselves in the mysteries of sciences, others in the lilt of foreign languages or in the euphony of their own mother-tongue, others in the strokes of the brush upon the canvasg others in lofty tones of declaration and oratoryg still others in the deft and skillful manipulation of utensils or tools. Be it what it may, when ever you encounter that activity that appeals to you, attracts you and draws from you the very best there is in you, know at once that that activity is the embodiment of your life-work. Doubt, fear, hesitancy have no place in the characteristics of the student who wishes to succeed. You need not question your choice when you have found the thing that you can do better than any other thing or than any other person can do it. Take hold of it, master itg put into it every ounce of your effort, ambition and ability, and eventually it will become your art, your profession or your vocation because it bespeaks of nothing else but your determined individuality colored somewhat by your strong personality. Then, after youlhave found yourself learn to know yourself and the things you will sponsor. Let all the things that savor of lowness and meanness be Iorever foreign to yrur thoughtsg entertain only the high and noble ideals of honor and honesty, Let not your standard of 'right or justice swerve one iota from the highest to be maintainedg and let your convictions be ever in the positive as they stand for truth, loyalty and upright- ness. Make this your creed no matter how far you may be from the source of school room advice: t I would be true, for there are those who trust me. I would be pure, for there are those who care. I would be strong, for there is much to suffer. I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend of all-the foe, the friendless. I would be giving but forget the gift. I would be humble for I know my weakness. I would look up, and laugh, and love and lift. MARGARET FELDNER. 1922 THE TRANSCRIPT SNAPSHOTS. 50 THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 NANCY'S GHOST. I cannot explain it, indeed I shall not attempt to, it is merely one of those weird mys- terious phenomena that one reads about but does not believe, for it is unbelievable. In- comprehensible even to the highest intellects, it is revered and worshipped by the lowest, and laughed at by the foolish and ignorant who cannot comprehend the workings of an intellect superior to their own. It was a night in early Spring: the scent of magnolia blossoms filled the air. Over- head, the moon shone bright and clear in a tranquil sky. When the clock in the-hall chimed the hour, he arose and bade her farewell in spite of her earnest invitation for him to remain. She ran to the open window to watch him mount, and ride down the long avenue that stretched far away into the distance like a silver ribbon in the pale, mellow moonlight. Then the mysterious, the incomprehensible occurred, for both horse and rider disap- peared into the thin air, into the very mellowness of the moonlight itself. But this hap- pened under circumstances so weird and unbelievable, that it may be laughed at, al- though neither the girl nor her parents laughed, for they knew that--. But I shall sim- ply state the facts that you may understand and judge for yourselves. Nancy stirred restlessly in her chair and gazed apprehensibly about the room, with its panels and family portraits, of men and women long since dead. They gazed down upon her every movement with their still but all-seeing eyes. Nancy tried to read but could not for the old portraits seemed to be gazing down upon her with such cold smiles and dignity that they tortured her troubled mind. All of the ghost stories, and spirit tales that she had ever heard of from Poe's Murders of the Rue Morgue to the tales that her own father told, of the old lady that was murdered, here, in this very room, came rushing upon her. Cautiously she crossed the room, and pushed a button, immediately the room was flooded with a clear, brilliant, glaring light, There, she said to herself reassuringly, She can't come now! Who ever heard of a ghost coming in the full light and on such a night as this? She threw the window open wide and watched the moonlight as it played on the dark shadows across the lawn. She crossed the room and gazed upon the oil portrait of General Robert Sinclair, her distinguished ancestor, who had fought under Washington and who now lay on the side of the hill, with the silver moonlight playing on his grave. Suddenly the door opened and closed. John Sinclair, clad in riding clothes, stood on the threshold. For a moment Nancy was too surprised to speak. Her uncle, if he noticed either her surprise or her agitation, did not reveal it, for he crossed the room, lighted a. cigarette, and inquired where her parents were. For answer she drew forth from her bosom a note, very wrinkled and crumpled as if it had been pressed very tightly in her hand. She knew every comma, every word, in it by heart, from beginning to end, but she let him read for himself: Nancy-Your father and I are going to your uncle's, he is dying. We shall come home late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Don't be frightened. Mammy will be with you. Don't forget to put out the lights and lock the door when you go to bed. Mother, So her uncle was dyingg but she had several uncles and they didn't say which one. But they were ,leaving Mammy with herg Mammy, who would run a mile if she saw a mouse run across the floor. Oh, how kind of them, how magnanimous they were! She laughed to herself at the very thought of it. Without a word he handed her back the note, a queer smile played on his pale white face. And they left a little girl like you all alone? Why, Uncle John! she cried, I'm not afraid of thieves or robbers for they are just mere men, but I'll tell you I am afraid of ghosts and spirits, that makes tables move and make such unearthly noises. I do believe I'd die if I met one of them, honestly I do! Uncle John said nothingg indeed, how could he? Nancy did all the talking. She told i922 THE TRANSCRIPT 51 him of a lady that had been murdered and how she was even yet reported to be haunting this house. She told him of the murders in the Rue Morgue, and all the ghost stories she had ever heard. But I'm not afraid now, she saidg You're here and I'm here and ghosts only come when there is only one person around. Uncle John smiled, a queer ghostlike smile, and a peculiar glint came into his steely eyes. He bent and kissed her. I'm glad to hear you take that view, Nancy girl, he said, and his voice seemed hollow and unreal. I'm glad that you aren't afraid of ghosts, for I must be going now. The clock in the hall chimed the hour. He arose, picked up his hat and drew on his gloves. Dad and mother'll be home soon now, she began, They'll be mighty sorry to miss you, please stay. Uncle John only smiled and said that he was very sorry, but that he c0uldn't possibly stay as he had a mission of very great importance, elsewhere, and that he wanted her not to be frightened for there were'nt such things as ghosts, and that even if there were they couldn't hurt anybody. He kissed her good-bye, and left her standing there disappointed and hurt. She heard the door slam shut as he went out. Nancy ran to the open window, saw him mount, readjust his hat, draw one long breath, and then to her amazement both horse and rider disappeared, into the thin air, into the silver moonlight itself. As she crossed the room Uncle John's riding whip met her gaze lying there by the sofa, where it had evidently fallen. Absent-mindly she picked it up and placed it on the mantle. Uncle John is always forgetting or losing something. I believe he'd loose his head if it weren't fastened on. She murmured to herself. A Thinking no more of the incident, she cuddled up in a big easy chair and was soon fast asleep. She was awakened by the slamming of a door, and the quick, heavy thud of hurrying feet drawing nearer and nearer. Well, mercy me! gasped Mrs. Sinclair, gazing down upon her daughter. What in the world are you doing here, and I thought that you were tucked safe and sound in bed. Uncle John was here, she said. He just stopped a minute. He couldn't stay, but forget something as usual, his riding whip-- Mrs. Sinclair loc-ked at her husband, her face had grown terribly pale and she trem- bled from head to foot. Mr. Sinclair looked annoyed and his face was troubled. He crossed the room and picked up the riding whip. There was no possible mistake in the identity. There were the initials J, S. carved on the handle John Sinclair. Why can it be possible, that he was here, he cried. God! can it be possible-but he was here and yet we know that we were at his bedside half the night, and saw him die? JOE LEE. THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 REMINISCENCES My origin, you ask, Kinlg Jim? Alas!

Then he showed us to our rooms, But fifteen minutes later They had us chasing through the hall, To 'find the elevator, But after that first, awful day, I't Wasn't quite so bad.

BERTHODD KI JJIN. 1922 THE TRANSCRIPT ' 53 ON THE EVIL RESULTS OF BEING TOO AMBITIOUS Many times since I came to Ravenna ten years ago I have been asked by friends in the other parts of the world how I happened to select this town as a place in which to end my days. Though there are many good reasons, I have occasionally replied by saying that it is the only place in which I have ever failed to pass an examination and that I had a natural desire to live down such a discreditable episode in the community where-in it occurred. The enterprising editors of the Transcript have induced me to make public confes- sion in this place, although it is a story which I ought not to be anxious to tell and be- sides, it really is no way related to the earlier days of the Ravenna High School, the com- memoration of which is a most praise-worthy effort on their part. It was more than sixty-five years ago that a fifteen-year-old boy, who lived in an ad- joining ccunty, learned by the only system of wireless then in use Qcommon gossipj that the examination for teachers' certificates in Portage County were extremely hard, re- sulting in many failures. Fired by an ambition not at all uncommon at that particular period of immaturity, he induced two or three of his older and more grown up school- mates to accept the challenge and with them, during the earlier hours of the night, walked the sixteen miles which separated him from the town of Ravenna. , He remembers the brick building in which the examination was held, then and still the County Court House. In that day the examinations were entirely oral. One stood tthough sometimes invited to he seated J before the inquisitor and if not soon reminded of the methods of the Spanish Inquisition one was exceedingly fortunate. There were three examiners occupying separate rooms and the candidates passed from one room to the other in turn. The youthful aspirant for pedagogical license had successfully, and perhaps with no small degree of credit, passed the ordeal necessary to get by two of them and at about four o'clock in the afteroon his turn came to con- front the third, he by that time tired and always somewhat irascible, Superintendent of the schools of Kent, Mr. J. K. Pickett. fDo not confound him with another Pickett who was subsequently Superintendent of Schools in Ravennaj The candidate was even more youthful in appearance than his years would have sug- gested and the following dialogue portrays a situation which might easily have been foreseen: EXAMINER- Who are you? CANDIDATE- igives name and place of residencey' EXAMINER- What are you doing here? CANDIDATE-'AI want to take the examination in English Grammar. EXAMINER- Have you passed the other subjects? CANDIDATE- Yes, sir, and successfully, I am told. EXAMINER- Well, I will waste no time on you. G0 HOME! You are too young and too small to teach school. NEXT! ! Exit candidate, crestfallen. He had not intended to teach, at least for a year or two, but had hoped to do the trick. Again he walked the sixteen miles, the butt of his companions' jokes, hoping that the incident might soon be forgotten. It was many, many years before he saw Ravenna again. Barely one year passed, however, before he had sweet revenge. In the meantime the ill-tempered examiner had transferred his activities to another county and-but that is another story which perhaps the editors of the Transcript for A. D. 2022, in celebrat- ing the Centenary of the Class of 1922, may want, just to flll a space which no advertiser will buy. DR. T. C. MENDENHALL. 54 THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 ATHLETICS FOOTBALL Let's go, was the cry echoing from all the scholars who were anxious for the Athletics of 1921-22 to be a larger and greater success than Ravenna High had ever had before. So, when Coach Quaw gave the call for football players an unusually large number responded. An especially large turn out coming from the Freshman Class, in the form of Bob Hall. Earle Frank was elected Manager and Raymond Heller Captain. Under the super- vision of Coach Quaw, the earnest efforts of the players were rewarded by the excellent team that was developed. The back-field was a fast one with C. Winkler at left half, L. Keck at right half, E. Frank at the fullback position, and R. Heller at quarterback. On the line were H. Ensinger, left end: D. McKay, left tackle, R. Hall, left guard: E. Krieble, centerg F. Hall, right guard: D. Hubbell, right tackle, and E. Miller, right end. Other players were R. Van Campen, R. Miller, D. Bowles, A. Brandt and D. Mansell. About the middle of the season several players received injuries which kept them from playing. In spite of the fact that these players made up almost the entire back- fleld, the team made an enviable record. A glance at the scores will prove that the team was equal to or better than any High School team in the county. --o---o---o- BASKET BALL. Basket Ball practice started two weeks earlier this year than usual. Owing to the large number that was anxious to take part, there were some difficulties in picking out the best players, for both the boys' and the girls' teams. Basket Ball proved to be the most popular branch of athletics this year, judging from the hearty support from the school and also the general public. The Basket Ball fans, who Hlled the house at every game, were given a treat by the High School Orchestra, that played popular selections between games. Although the boys' team was composed of exceptionally small players it made a good record. At the N. E. A. A. the team made an excellent showing by keeping in the race for the title until the last game, and then was ousted only by the championship team of Struthers. The boys' team at the beginning of the season consisted of H. Wascko, Captain, Jory, R. G., Manager, Baker, L. F.g Miller, Centerg Chapman, R. .L.g McKay, L. G.g other play- ers, Barton and Van Campen, The girls' team was championship caliber, having won the Trolley League Champion- ship for the second time in as many years, and would have capturedthe county title had they had the chance. The girls' team was of championship caliber, having won the Trolley League Cham- pionship for the second time in as many years, and would have captured the county title had they had the chance.

THE TRANSCRIPT 1922 SNAPS 1922 THE TRANSCRIPT 63 SENIOR CLASS PHOPHESY 1 While sitting near my llreside In my comfy old arm-chair, I fell asleep and dreamed a dream Of my classmates dark and fair. 2 I dreamed I saw a fairy, And she whispered in my ear The fortunes, trials, sorrows, joys, Of my classmates few but dear. 3 The face of good-natured Irene, forsooth Now appeared 'fore my very eyes, In Reimold's style show she will shine, And always take a prize. 4 Dean Hubbell will startle us all, perhaps, And a great, great, man he'll be, He'll go with Ringlings, an acrobat bold, Far-famed from sea to sea. 5 Now Nina, a red-hot reformer will be, Her name, in the Cleveland Press She'll shock all the words by radical views On how a woman should dress. 6 And Edythe, sweet Edythe, be Frank - Thus Earle on his knees to her said, If you'll live with me, we'll have Eskimo pies, And she immediately nodded her head. N 7 Claude Kingsbury a clerk will become, And hand out celery and sich, Until at the age of ninety and one, He'll suddenly be very rich. 8 One day we'll all hear of Kathryn, Her fame will go 'round and 'round, As Ravenna's agent, so you shall hear, For L. Pinkham's Veg'table Compound. 9 And Louis a rolling stone Will gather no moss, 'tis said: He'll rifle on bumpers, a knight of the road And live on weiners and bread. 10 Myra Helm, an orator will eventually be, Of the famous soap-box kind, She'll have a stall at the 'County Fair, And talk till we all go blind. 11 Harold, a scandal will certainly start, By a dance that he'll invent. It'll be so original and very unique, It'll drst be shown ln Kent. 12 And Inez, a wonderful player-behold! She'll pound on her typewriter keys, ln the morning she'l1 work in a garden, Growing lettuce, parsley and peas. 13 Ralph Kreinberg, a pool-shark ls, And always will be, too: He'll live by his 'own good motto, Do others before they do you. 14 Now Florence, our bobbed-haired maiden, will take us all by surprise, She'll smile her way to fame and name, In the Zelgfield Follies she'll rise. 15 A -Chiropractor, Lyle will be, And punch at people's spines. In fact, he'll have such great success, He'll need display no s-lgns. 16 Kate will marry a millionaire, And brealt him thru and thru, Until she spends all he ever made- Then .she'll hunt a conquest new. 17 And Paul an owner will soon become Of the West End Goody Shop, A Cole will be his bakeress, Till the sheriff makes them stop. 1 8' A speaker of languages-that's Blanche Swartz, What she is, and destined 'to be, She'll ask to come back to R. H. S. And teach 'til she's eighty-three. 19 ' .

He seems to know it, too, The first he'll say when out of scho Are the little words, I do. ol, 29 Blanche Harris, I've left 'til last, But not the last she'll be, For at twenty she'll go on a voyage, And traverse the deep, blue sea. 30 These were the fortunes, Of my Classmates dear, That they'1l not come true, I do not fear. 31 Here's to the fortunes Of my Classmates true! Here's to the 'Class Of Twenty-Two! 32 And what will become of Elizabeth?
