IlHIIIllllllllllllllllllllil ....Foreword.... To record all happenings of significance in our High School; to faithfully portray the spirit of our school; and to leave behind a message that may cherish a lasting affection for the high school as an institution ,and for Sharon High School in particular is the mission of this volume. In it you will find the realization of the hopes and ambitions of the Staff of 1924. We realize that our work is not perfect, but we trust that such mistakes as occur will be overlooked as errors of the head and not of the heart. If we have prepared “a true reflection of Sharon High School,” a record that may bring back pleasant memories of the past year, our work is done. “THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH-” The close of the term of 1924, will witness the passing of the old school building, that has served so long and so well. It was erected in 1904 to meet the ever increasing demand for high school education in Sharon. The construction was under the supervision of a school board composed of David Adams, President; W. Whitehead, Secretary; Alexander McDowell, Treasurer; J. P. Whitla, J. A. McLaughry, and J. E. Harris. The building cost $69,000, being planned with accommodations for 135 students. Since its opening twenty-one classes have graduated from this school. Now with the steady increase in High School attendance the old building passes to make way for the new building that will provide a fitting home for Sharon High. W. D.

Le Cercle Francais. 1 Fifty -=i_frr fnxaana Class History In 1920—leap year, at that—over two hundred of us found our way by beautiful boulevards to the West Penn Annex. Even the crossing of the V” bridge seemed to enchant us by the pleasant odors and beautiful scenery of the fresh and sparkling Shenango River. Of course we were “fresh.” What would the school have done had it not been for that new, fresh, green life. That’s the only sense in which “we” were “green”—as an incentive to new life. Otherwise, we had come prepared to meet the worst, to conquer whatever enemy we should meet. We started conquering, and once started, it was hard to stop us, even when starting up the steps for “A” and “C” in the Annex when the last bell was ringing. How much we owe to those who pruned our green limbs and started us on the right road through High School. The first month brought forth an honor roll. One seemed to have grown much wiser to be on the High School honor roll. During the entire year many reached it by hard work, or did we reach it by having the knowledge drilled and pumped into us? Perhaps it was the novelty of the new subjects. “A” and “B” divisions, followed by “C” and “D” held two Hallow-,een parties in the Sunshine Home. It is of general opinion that some of the pumpkin pie was wasted, and that some mother and cleaner, the next day, was not so glad that a pie change, was placed accidentally, of course, on one of the chairs. We had a good time though, and it was then that we began to get acquainted and that lasting friendships were formed. We also had good, strong voices that year for we “Freshies” won the “sing” which was contested among the classes of the High School. As a reward, a picture entitled, “The Dance of Spring,” by Corot, was presented to the class. Ever since it has enhanved the study hall with its beauty. Self-interest was not the only thing in our lives as “Freshies.” The Red Cross drive found some very dependable people among the first year group. Forty dollars became our possession for securing the greatest number of subscriptions. Individual prizes were also awarded. The athletics that year started an enthusiasm that kept growing greater each year. The first teams were all backed by good, green, fresh material. Spring came with promotion. By the next Fall we had ripened from green “Freshies” into lordly Sophomores. At that stage we were deemed worthy of going to the main building with the Juniors and Seniors. Here we found things to be just as different from what they had been in the Annex as we had found in the first year of High School different from grade school. W’ho does not remember how important we felt, as, for the first time we Fifty-one £nx z ma f] strutted through the halls between classes? And how we felt that Demosthenes, Lincoln, Sir Galahad, and other notables should feel honored to be allowed to occupy the same room with us? However, we soon became accustomed to our new surroundings, and settled down to give old Sharon High our best efforts. The Sophomore class of ’24 did its share in all school activities. Dick Booth, who represented us in football, was a real asset to the team. Lawrence Broderick and Harold Nightwine represented us on the basketball squad. Zelma Cozadd and Dorothy Mylott, both of ’24, earned letters in basketball. We were also represented on the reportoriafi art, and business staffs of the Mirror. This was an excellent showing for a Sophomore class, but it was a mere beginning of what we were to do later. In our Junior year we were handicapped by crowded conditions. Because of the lack of room we were obliged to adopt half-day sessions. This meant, not only that we must come to school an hour earlier in the morning, but also that we must do most of our studying at home. This was almost a hardship for some of us, but with a little added effort on our part, and on the part of the teachers we pulled through in fine shape, and made it one of the most eventful years of our High School career. The first action we took as a class, was to organize. We chose as class officers: Allan Booth, president; Lawrence Broderick, vice president, and Ramon Cooper, secretary-treasurer. The next matter on which the class took action was selecting rings. From this selection we chose one, with the result that we now have rings and pins which are the object of the admiration of all who see them. In all school activties, members of the Junior class might be seen in the front ranks. On the football team we had Allan Booth, Trevor Brandt, Ralph Goeltz and Glenn Hoelzle. We claimed a large part of the basketball team, five of the first eight men being Juniors. Our representatives were Broderick, Nightwine, Booth, Cox, and Brandt. Five of the seven girls who earned their letters in basketball hailed from ’24. The members of the fair sex who upheld our standards in athletics were: Zelma Cozadd, Marie Koellman, Dorothy Keiser, Doris Weaver, and Dorothy Mylott. It was during this year that the interscholastic literary contests were begun. We entered these contests with a vim and vigor that could not fail to show results. We had a good percentage on all the literary teams and to our class goes much of the credit for winning all the contests but one. We were also well represented in the orchestra and glee club, and on the Mirror staff. Perhaps the most outstanding achievement of our Junior year was our banquetting the Seniors. Former classes had encountered great difficulty in doing this, since the expense was so great that few of the lower classmen could attend. Our class overcame this difficulty by staging an inter-class basketball tournament, and using the proceeds to Fifty-two (Continued on page 142) Class ‘Poem There aren’t any old knockers left in our class They’ve all been dropped out, that kind never pass; We’re a hundred and fourteen all merry and bright, And we’re saying good bye to the old school tonight. Many a bright day has been passed ’tween those walls, And we still hear the echoes of classrooms and halls; So we’re all gathered here with a wish and a will, And a laugh, and a hope that nothing can kill. Our teachers and friends have all helped along; Of course, there were times when they all seemed wrong. But the time will come when we’ve all reached the test, That we’ll know that our school days, of all were the best. Four years we’ve climbed up the ladder of Fame, And made our class of most worthy name; So in years that are coming, we’ll keep pushing on, ’Till all Life’s temptations are conquered and won. If the time ever comes when you feel out of place, Just think of old times, let a smile light your face. May fortune come running, old classmates, to greet, And to lay the world’s happiness right at your feet. So now let’s be happy, as time passes by, As sunrise is lighting up Life’s morning sky. Up, fellow classmates, let us be gone! Don’t wait for night’s shadows, start in with the dawn. The Future lies dim ,and the Past has gone by, And we’re leaving our school with many a sigh ; Yet we go with courage and cheer in our hearts, In Life’s tangled drama, we all take our parts. So here’s to the Seniors, to the brown and gold! May the bonds of true friendship forever hold! And, when toils are ended and day’s joys pass, Our memories turn back to old pals of our class.

The price of an electric piano, for the new High School, so he won’t have to coax the bashful piano players. Second—We will to our beloved faculty: 1.

Zelma Cozadd In place of a class night performance this year, it was decided to have a class play. The play Green Stockings” is the story of an elder sister, Celia Faraday, who lias been compelled by an old custom to wear green stockings at the wedding of two of her younger sisters, Madge and Evelyn, because they have married before she has. Facing the situation of having to wear them again at the impending wedding of her youngest sister, Phyllis, who is engaged to Robert Tarver, a young man with political ambitions, she tells the family that she is engaged to Colonel John Smith, who has just sailed with his regiment for Somaliland. In truth. Colonel Smith is an invention of Celia’s to avoid wearing green stockings a third time. But to further complicate matters, some of the letters which Celia has written to “Wobbles”—that is Colonel Smith, as she terms him—with no intention of sending them, have been mailed and accidentally reach a Colonel Smith in Somaliland. He returns, and posing as a friend of Smith’s, tells Celia that he brings her the dying message of “Wobbles” who was killed in battle. A mutual attraction of Celia and Colonel Smith brings about a happy ending. I he play was ably directed by Miss Anna McBride. Fi(ty-six Fifty-seven f Fifty-eight History of the Junior Class How different are these two scenes! Without, the wind was whistling through the trees with a strange melancholy sound, and the snow, falling silently, was covering the earth with a mantle of white. Within, before a blazing log fire sat two creatures, shoulders bent with age, each, engrossed with his own thoughts, studying the fire in which memories sweet and tender, were revived. On this particular evening, Time for both had turned back many years to that notable, well-remembered day on which both began their long journey through High School How near and yet how far appeared that first day! The class was gathered before the West Annex, everyone excited and nervous, with the feeling that some fate overhung; nevertheless, as days passed on and the Presides became better acquainted with the routine of High School work, the fun began! Many familiar pictures were formed in the flames of the fire—that first party, at the Buhl Club, the numerous basketball and football games at which the Preshies were well represented, both in the field and on the side lines; finally the winning of the Musical Contest at De Foreest’s. Then the Sophomore Year appeared in the fire as the flames and smoke curled upward. Again the basketball games, the football games, and the inter-scholastic contests appeared and gradually faded away with the rest. Memory traveled onward and as the Sophomore Year faded slowly into eternity, the Junior Year gradually took shape in the dying embers of the fire! Familiar faces of both teachers and school mates were molded in relief! How well did these two remember Ralph Eliot’s good work on the basketball team, together with that of Kenneth Moyer. In football Earl Wilson, Theodore Biggin, and Ueane Boyd capably represented the Junior class. Lastly, in the interscholastic contests John Allen, Alvin Isenburg, Lois Wagoner, and Herman Nathan showed of what the Juniors were made. Then in the slowly dying fire, as the smoke and flames leaped heavenward, were portrayed pictures—pictures which every Junior will forever remember—the day on which they organized, electing William Cartwright, President; Grace Miller, Vice President; Mabel Smith, Secretary; and Deane Boyd, Treasurer; the day on which Mr. Jones announced that “the Junior rings have come,” and oh! the joy of each, as he or she slipped the ring on his finger and proudly displayed it to his friends. __— The two at the fire straightened their bent backs and felt that once again they had passed through the delightful memories surrounding their years of Dorothy W. Wray, ’25. Fifty-nine High School work. Sixty r=i_frrx History of the Sophomore Class It was the 11th of January, 1956, and we were drowsing around a roaring fire one hundred miles from the North Pole. The wind was howling and screaming about our cabin’s eaves. Suddenly one of our men spoke up. “Captain,” said he, “tell us of your class’s second year at High School.” On the night before in order to keep our failing spirits up, I had related to the company how on the morning of September 5, 1922, many wee Freshies, myself included, had made our debut in Sharon High School, and how having studied our way into brilliancy, and having defeated all other classes in a basketball tournament, having brought forward such speakers as John Cassidy and William Pitts, and having aided our High School band with great musicians from our ranks, we had gone forward from the Freshman seat of learning with our chests in the air. So now the company wanted to know of my second year at Sharon High School. I began. “Do you know how that deep-toned school bell rang for us to begin school as Freshmen,” I inquired. “Yes,” they all answered “Well—on the morning of September 4, 1923, after we had enjoyed about three months of rest, that same bell began to ring, and we, all knowing what it meant, cast aside our glad rags and getting into ‘Sunday-go-to-Meeting clothes’ again started for our High School. “This time, however, we were larger in stature and somewhat more advanced in knowledge. “We began school and soon proved our worth. “In the Interscholastic meet our class shone forth conspicuously; John Cassidy again making the team representing us in the declamation, also Esther Dodds, representing us in the vocal part of the meet, Margaret Brown in recitation and Gerald Harshman making the debating team. “In athletics we made it manifest to the rest of the school that the Sophomores were all there. First in football by having one of our class, Jack Martin, chosen to lead the following year’s squad, besides having many letter men. Second in basketball when a number from our class made the team and one, “Baldy” Tarr, picked as being the best player of Shenango Valley. “Last but not least, we left for the oncoming sophomores a fine record for studying. Thus closed our second year of High School life.” As if to emphasize this the fire roared mere severely in that snug cabin one hundred miles from the North Pole on that night of ’56. Alan Thompson, ’26. Sixty-one saxtuma History of the Treshman Class Within a low, homelike old farmhouse, around which the driving wind was howling and shrieking, all was peaceful. Without, where the elements were battling, everything was a sharp contrast. The snow and sleet were falling with stinging force making everyone who did not have to he out content to stay in some snug, cozy room. The living room of the old farmhouse was one of the few of its kind to he found. On one side of the room was a large open fireplace, before which sat an old man in a massive arm chair, dozing fitfully in the silence of the room. The old man’s gray hair and long, flowing heard were like burnished silver as the light from the fireplace played over his head. Suddenly the silence was broken by the shouts and laughter of two children, who could not go out because of the storm. Their shouts awakened the old man, who smiled and beckoned them to him. Happily they ran to him and climbed upon his knee. “What will you have tonight, my children?” he asked, his rich voice flowing like mellow music. “Please tell or read us something about when you were a boy,” one of them replied. “Oh, yes, do, grandfather,” chimed the other. For a while the old man sat in thought. Then he lifted the children to the floor and arose from his seat. He crossed the room with faltering steps and went into his bedroom. Soon he returned with a paper which was yellow with age. He resumed his seat and the children climbed hack upon his knee in happy expectation. Again his fine old voice pealed forth and this time with a note of tenderness. “This is a paper that I prize very highly.” he said. “It is the ‘History of the Freshman Class of 1924,’ of which I was a member.” He slowly unfolded the paper and read: “Well, well, well.” Again another school year is drawing to a close. Soon the Freshmen of ’24 will he going on in the world with nothing as a reminder of their Freshman year except fond memories. So now for a while let us close our eyes and look hack over the passing year that we may ever have something to freshen our memories of our Freshman activities. “Did ever the bed feel so good as on the morning of September 5. 1923, when we were to begin our eventful year? We ambled toward the old West Penn Annex from all parts of town, true, with slightly Sixty-three soxaana 2—if] beating pulses, but with a secret pride in our hearts, because we were Freshmen. Ah. what a relief to find ourselves in a seat at last. Soon the pupils belonging to the Main Building departed and the rest of us remained for our fate. “The first few days passed swiftly, and we soon got the swing of the work, becoming more and more pleased to find out such little things as that ‘Tut’ wasn’t the only old king that ever lived. “We organized a literary club in each room near the beginning of the year. Some of us were a little inclined to feel too proud of the fact that we were to run the club bv ourselves. This pride was destined for a great fall the day this unfortunate had to speak for the first time in front of the class. What a queer trembling in the region of the knees and what a thumping of the heart. “The Freshmen showed their writing ability in the Mirror contest. In this contest Frederick Amon took first prize in the short story, Katheryn Graham first prize in the poem and Robert Merk second prize in the essay. “The crowning event ot outside activities for the year was the ‘Big Bazaar.’ This bazaar was put across in fine style and with the right spirit. We made and sold the things ourselves, clearing over ninety dollars. This was divided between the ‘Sunshine Society’ and the ‘Salvation Army.’ Being at Christmas time, our little offering lightened more than one heart and cleared more than one face on Christmas Day. “We have been very much interested in athletics, too, and although we could not produce much for the teams we tried to make up for this by turning out to games and yelling ourselves hoarse every time we had the chance. “In the 'Interscholastic meets’ we did our bit by producing Robert Merk for the essay and Esther Blackmore for the recitation. “Now that we have glanced backward for a while we seem to wish we could live our Freshman year over again. May this year be clear and dear to our memory, and may we think of it when the hours seem long and there is nothing to do. Again, Freshman History, adieu.” The old man finished with a sigh and folded the paper. '1 hen the children who knew grandfather wished to think after he had talked of his boyhood, thanked him and crept off to bed. Let to himself the old man blew out the light of the oil lamp and resumed his seat. The room was lighted by nothing but the glow of the dying fire and once more silence reigned. The old man sat with folded arms looking into the fire with soft, unseeing eyes, and with a smile on his thin old lips, for he was dreaming of his “Freshman Days.” sQxmma. Editorial With this number, volume 12 of The Mirror takes its place with the issues of the past—the issues that have recorded eleven years of the long and successful career of Sharon High. With this number, the Staff of 1924 closes its work for The Mirror. At the beginning of the year, we undertook the task of publishing The Mirror, confident that we could make this one of the most successful years in the history of The Mirror. Today, in spite of disappointments and difficulties which the school will never realize, our work is finished. We have tried to prepare a “true reflection of Sharon High, and we hope that we have succeeded. We wish to take this opportunity to express appreciation for the cooperation which we have received. It is only such co-operation that makes our publication possible. To the school ,the faculty and the business men of Sharon, the Staff wishes to tender their sincerest thanks. Our work is finished. Next year another Staff will publish The Mirror. To them we wish the best success in the world, that The Mirror may continue to portray the spirit of the Old School.

To his credit may be attributed the changes in form; introducing of new cuts and of new departments such as Coon Grunts and School Notes. The Editor deserves great praise for the time and effort he has used to make this annual a success. It would have been impossible to present this splendid issue without the capable, willing hand of our editor to direct and help us in our work. This year’s “Mirror” has been exceptionally well commented upon in the exchanges. The associate editors were John Allen and Grace Miller, both of the class of ’25. In their work one can find the promise of excellent directing ability for the Staff of ’25. Their work has been of the highest type throughout the year. Seventy mxaima mi BUSINESS WRITE-UP What would our “Mirror” or any High School publication do without an efficient business staff? Would you like to pay the present yearly subscription for each number of the “Mirror?” The business staff finances the paper. They secure advertisements from local stores to help defray the expenses of publishing our magazine. This year, to Edward Dodds, of the class of ’24, fell the large task of managing the financial affairs of the “Mirror.” The assistant business managers, Hugh O’Hara and Alvin Isenberg, both of the class of ’25, helped Edward in his difficult task and gained great practice for next year. The circulation department is also included in the business staff. The members of this department distribute the issues both to the members of the school and to the subscribers outside the school, collect the unpaid subscriptions and sponsor the contest for annual subscriptions. Kenneth Richards, ’24, very capably managed this department. John Burn and Ben Nye, both of the class of '25, assisted in this important task. Seventy-one SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS For the able conduct of the special departments much credit is due to the special editors. These editors are: Insania.. Alumni___ Society.. Exchanges Idler....

Dorothy Edwards as the Senior cylinder, William Cartwright as the Junior cylinder, Louise Hoezle as the Sophomore cylinder, and Edward Bailey as the Freshman cylinder did their part to keep it running. It may be credited to them that there was neither knock or miss this year in the “Mirror.” Seventy-three THE ART STAFF The art staff has never received the proper credit because of the popular conception of an artist, which exists in the minds of otherwise intelligent students. The artists are supposed to shed drawings as carelessly as a tree drops leaves in the fall. These drawings so airily produced are only required to be original, mathematically correct, sized for space, and to possess perspective and decorative value that is beyond criticism. This department which has received much praise from exchanges is composed of Paul King, ’24, Art Editor; and his assistants, Fred Hunt, ’24, George TomW . ’26, and Theodore Taylor, ’26. ■ Seventy-four Seventy-five Seventy-six FOOTBALL SUMMARY This year’s football season was successful in every way—whether we consider the number of games won, the number of points scored, or the spirit displayed by both the team and th eschool. Our eleven met ten foes and vanquished six of them. New Castle was the only team against which we failed to score. Raven and New Castle were the only teams to beat us by more than one touchdown, while we won five games by large scores. Sharon Hi may lay undisputed claim to the valley championship, having defeated Sharpsville and Farrell decisively. The total number of points scored by the Orange and Black is more than double that scored by opponents. The team was captained by Dick Booth, fullback and four year letterman. Mr. Dickerson again had charge of the coaching. He was aided in this work by “Hud” Wills. Manager Paul King arranged a good schedule, and, with the aid of Faculty Manager DeFrance handled the financial affairs in a creditable manner. The following men earned letters: Capt. Booth, fullback; Alton Heutsche, center; Ted Donaldson, Glen Hoelzle and Ralph Goeltz, guards; Trevor Brandt and Jack Martin tackles; Raymond Hodge and Harold Nightwine, ends; Clarence Cox, quarterback; Lewis Moon, Paul Christman, Carmine Pepe and Earl Wilson, halfbacks; Paul King, manager.

Many of the games lost were lost by very close scores. We broke even with the valley teams, winning one and dropping one to each, Farrell, Sharpsville and Greenville Although we split even in the number of games won and lost, we out-scored our opponents 449-408. Mr. Dickerson again handled the coaching. He deserves much praise for developing a strong team. Especially is he to be praised when we consider that he and the team were greatly handicapped by a very limited time for practice. Mr. Gilmore, acting in the capacity of faculty manager, handled the financial affairs, and the sale of tickets in a commendable fashion. In the matter of attendance and cheering, the season was especially pleasing. The games this year were the best attended of any in late years. Nearly every game was w itnessed by a large crowd of s tudents and townspeople.

Seventy-nine sQxaana Lawrence Broderick was captain of this year’s quintette. This was “Brodie’s” third year of basketball. He played the pivot position, and always made his share of the team’s points. “Irish” will be lost through graduation. Clarence Cox, playing his second year of basketball, was the highest scorer of the team. His dependable foul shooting was a big asset to the team. “Coxey” also graduates this year. “Bud” Elliot played a good steady game at either forward or guard. “Bud” was chosen to lead next year’s team. Allan Booth proved himself to be a star on the basketball floor as well as on the football field. He was a bear on the defense and aided greatly in the scoring as well. This was his second and last year of basketball. Harold Nightwine held down one of the guard positions. “Nightie” was a large factor in holding down the enemy’s scores. “Nightie” will be greatly missed next year, as he also graduates. Theodore Tarr is one of the fastest players that ever represented Sharon High. He played a whirlwind floor game, and also scored a great many points. He has two more years to shine for S. H. S. Trevor Brandt played a hard game at center, when he got into the game. He also will be lost through graduation. Eighty-one atxttaaa GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SUMMARY The girls’ basketball team had one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school. They won seven out of twelve games, defeating both Farrell and Sharpsville twice. They may thus lay undisputed claim to the valley championship. Mr. Irvine coached the team, and contributed largely to their success. Miss Zelma Cozadd was captain of this year’s team. This was her third year of basketball. Miss Cozadd will be lost to next year’s team through graduation. Miss Marie Koellman played a flashy game at either forward or side-center. “Kurlee” was a big point getter for the team. She also graduates this eyar. Evelyn Huether played center and managed the team. She did both very well. Miss Huether also leaves this year. Ardis Manning played a fast game at back-center. She has two more letters ahead of her. Dorothy Keiser played a guard position in an efficient manner. The squad will miss her services next year. Doris Weaver handled the other guard position in a manner which was a credit to herself and to the school. This was her last year also. Lucille Hendricks.played a very good game at forward. In recognition of her good work, she was elected to captain of next year’s team.

In that memory-picture we behold again the ideals that you inspired in us. Some of them were set high and have been pushed higher, while others, in the great conflict of life, have been disregarded and there is only faint pictures of those ideals. Although some of us have seemed to lose that ideal we thank you for having once given it to us to do with as we would. Others of us have just started to excavate for the foundation to materalize our ideals and may our foundation be so firm that all our expectations of the future’s building will not be. shattered. Sometimes we have heard of disloyal citizens of Sharon jeer you, and how it has hurt us! They have judged when their judgment was not backed with the true knowledge of what went on within your walls. We know that Father Time is the onl yone who can prove thta the efforts, both organized and individual, exerted there were not in vain. And he has told and is telling the world that your efforts are fruitful. Inspired by the school spirit in “Old Sharon Hi,” leaders of college men and women have been selected as beacon lights in many of the college and universities. The magazine staff of many schools find Sharon Alumni having great capability for management; the honor rolls are graced with names of Sharon’s best; athletic teams have been pushed on to victory by former Sharon stars. All the way we have been trying to play the game fair and square for you. So come, Old Sharon Hi, don’t become gloomy. Put on a cheerful aspect, other voices perhaps more youthful will fill your old heart with joy, and youth satisfies old age. Bear your burdens and help your future occupants to shoulder theirs when they have forever passed through your doors into the turmoil of life. Yours forever with happy remembrances, “The Alumni of Old Sharon High. Eighty-four Eighty-five Eighty-six saxaana THE SHARON HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Shortly after the students put on the yoke of work and began the tedious task of concentration, Professor Reese undertook the re-organization of the High School Orchestra. His efforts, however, were not in vain for at his first summons, there appeared a number greatly exceeding that of last year. Professor Reese has again proved his ability as an excellent leader and instructor. It has been through his efforts that Sharon High has an orchestra of which to be proud. During this year a bass viol and a cello have been added to the symphonic group, which greatly contributes to its success. Throughout the year Professor Reese has kept the orchestra in trim by securing for them engagements in the various organizations in the city. In fulfilling these engagements the youthful artists received much praise and encouragement. This year the orchestra will lose five members by graduation: Louis Cohen, Glenn Phillips, Lucille Christenson, William Burke and J. Edward Dodds. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: Piano, Louise Hoezle; saxophones, Harold Pitts, Gross; cornets, Joe Richards, Edmund Zappa, Frank Whitemore; flute, Paul Stewart; bass viol, Ray Furney, violins, Amelia Hercza, Lucille Christenson, Esther Goeltz, LaVerne Cain, Nick Shank, Ed. Dodds, George Thompson, Louis Cohen, Henry Robbins, Robert Merk, Glen Phillips, James Hannon, Glen Mayberry, Israel Sonethal, Fred Smith, Arpad Fabian, Allan Rohrdanz; trombone, Arthur Whitmore; clarinets, Harry Becht, Jack Ault, Tom Dillon; drums, Ralph Price. Eighty-seven Eighty-eight snx aaa THE GLEE CLUB If, while idly strolling on Vine avenue on a Wednesday evening, some unsuspecting Sharonite should suddenly hear notes of melodious, heavenly music floating on the breeze, he should not be alarmed. Alarmed, did I say? Rather, he ough to be delighted. For is not this distinctly beautiful harmony issuing from the Chamber of Commerce building? This then signifies that the Glee Club of Sharon High is holding its weekly practice (or should I say concert?). Nevertheless, in spite of all pleasantries, the Glee Club of Sharon High has certainly had a successful year, due partly to the unstinted and untiring efforts of Mr. Reese, and partly to the ability and willingness of the members of the club. It surprised even us, the learned members of the Sharon High student bod}-, when we recognized how really fine thee lub is when they sang for us on Washington’s birthday. At its weekly practices the club studied several different types of music: Religious, classical, and humorous. That the members of the Glee Club thoroughly enjoyed their work is shown by the large attendance at each of the practices. During these meetings many comical things happened which, together with their musical studies, provided well spent and entirely enjoyable evenings. Besides taking part in our programs in the Study Hall, the Glee Club also planned to take an active part in Mr. Reese’s annual spring concert. The members planned to enter a contest at Youngstown, where each Glee Club entered will sing, “The Football Game.” A good percentage of the club is composed of Seniors. These worthy-members will certainly be missed by: the club next yrear. The club is looking forward with eager anticipation to next term in the new building. It then promises us ever better things. Our heartiest congratulations and best wishes are extended to the Glee Club of 1923-24. ----- L. W. Eighty-nine Ninety c2'7U__rir7 The students of Sharon High School during the year 1923-24 took part in three interscholastic contests. The diligent work of the students taking part in the contests, the able assistance given by the faculty, and the support given by the students and their friends resulted in our school winning a majority of the events in the three contests. The first contest which was between Sharon and Farrell was held at Sharon on Dec. 14. Sharon High was victorious in the following events: Piano solo, essay, vocal solo, declamation, violin solo, oration, and extemporaneous speaking. Farrell High won the debate and recitation. Sharon was awarded ten points and Farrell six points. 1 he teams from our school met Grove City on Feb. 21, one at Sharon and the other at Grove City. Sharon’s affirmative and negative debating team were both victorious. Sharon also won the oration, declamation. piano solo, extemporaneous speaking, and essay. Sharon High was victorious with a total of ten and one-half points against Grove City’s four and one-half points. On April 25 the final “round up of all the schools of Mercer county will be held at Mercer. In addition to the regular events there will be contests in history, spelling, algebra, and letter writing. As the annual gees to press the results of the contest are not known, but the members and supporters of Sharon High have great hopes that Sharon High will be successful in the contest. Ninety-one r=Lj?ri M sax aua SPE-RE-WRI CLUB At the beginning of this school year Sharon High’s long hoping for a literary society was realized. The society was organized by Prof. J. A. DeFrance and Ramon Cooper. Through the efforts of these two, a group of students was selected to form the charter membership of the club. The first regular meeting was held on October 22, 1923. Throughout the school year great interest has been shown by the members of the club. The name which was chosen is a very suitable one and the exact meaning of it has remained a secret to all except the members. Spe-Re-Wri stands for the first letters of the words, speaking, reading, and writing. These are the things which the members were obliged to do during their membership. The activities which are carried on in the club are: Debate, Oration, Declamation, Recitation, Essay and Extemporaneous. Later music was added, which included vocal, piano, and violin. 'Phe club has tried to live up to its motto, “Labor omnia vincit.” Very good practice has been given to those who participated in the programs. The Spe-Re-Wri has supplied most of those who have taken part in the literary contests for Sharon. Sharon succeeded in bringing home the county honors in this line for the second consecutive year. It is largely due to the Spe-Re-Wri Club that we were able to do this. Beginning with a membership of forty the club has increased until about ninety names are now listed on the roll. The constitution has been revised due to the fact that the membership rules were too lax this year. Next year the club will be made up of twenty-five Seniors twenty Juniors, fifteen Sophomores and ten Freshmen, thus making membership in the club a greater honor. The programs which have been given during the course of the year have been of a high quality and were enjoyed by the members who were in regular attendance. At several of the meetings a social time was held after the regular matters had been dispensed with. Of special interest was a play “A Case of Suspension,” given by several members of the club. It is hoped that next year the club will be carried on with as great success as it was this, and the graduating members wish the best of luck to the Spe-Re-Wri Club of the future. Ninety-three Ninety-four “LE CERCLE FRANCAIS” r rr A sox z m x U____rip? “Le Cercle Francais” is a club for the French students in the High School. This society has been organized in most of the High Schools and Colleges throughout the United States, and is very popular because of its educational as well as social value. While the club helps its members to become better acquainted with French life and customs, it also makes them more familiar with the French language and improves their conversational abilities. At the same time the social side creates a feeling of good-fellowship and affords much interest and pleasure. “Le Cercle Francais,” of Sharon High, held its first meeting last spring, under the guidance of Miss Anna McBride. In addition to a splendid program of French stories and songs, a number of slides featuring the World War in France and famous cathedrals were shown at this time. The election of officers took place at the first meeting this year. The following officers were elected: Allen Booth, president; Lawrence Broderick, vice president; Coral Hendricks, treasurer; and Lois Wagoner, secretary. The activities of the club during the past year show the type of work that can be accomplished. The programs included stories and poems told in French, very interesting accounts of lives and works of noted French authors, painters and composers. Plays from L’abbe Con-stanten,” La Poudre Aux Yeux,” and Saus Famille” were written and dramatized by members of the club in a most pleasing manner. The mixed quartet and ensemble singing with the vocal and piano solos in French and by French composers added a great deal of variety and enthusiasm to the program. By selling candy and weiner sandwiches at the football games, Le Cercle Francais” was able to purchase and present to the school two beautiful paintings by French artists, The Fountain,” by Laucret and “Spring,” by Corot. These pictures will add much to the French atmosphere of that department in the new High School. Every member of Le Cercle Francais” will look back upon the past year’s activities with pleasure and satisfaction. The success and approval with which this club has met, assures its future growth in fostering broader conception of the French people and the French language in America. Ninety-five sQxaana {IsfU.___cT? T. M. T. M. “Let love and good fellowship all us unite—Vive la Senior girls.” Such was t he extent of the T. M. T. M. Club when first organized. Its chief aim was to help the girls of one class work and play together. With such an aim in mind, the T. M. T. M. girls reorganized the club for their last year in good old Sharon High. The St. John’s Parish House has sheltered and re-echoed with the laughter and good times that have taken place there. Who can ever forget the “faculty farce,” with Elmo Ashton as a typical Miss Williamson. and Grace Stewart as Mr. Wills. That same evening the Junior and Senior girls as well as their mothers had the pleasure of hearing Miss Simpson, a national speaker on hygiene. Her pleasing personality helped toward making her talk more convincing. It was indeed very fortunate for the girls to be able to hear her. At a later meeting of the T. M. T. M. Club, the Senior girls of Farrell, Sharpsville and Hickory High Schools were entertained. The meeting was held to encourage a friendship among the schools. It certainly was a successful meeting and the sixty-five girls mingled with each others as though all were of one school. During the year, in order to cover some of the expenses of the club the girls sold real candy to the basketball fans. Stunts were put on at various meetings. Who will ever forget Miss Anna McBride’s ability as a judge? Charades of songs also provided amusement for one of the meetings. As a club we wish to express our appreciation of the kindness of Mrs. Roberts and her aids. Miss Anna McBride, Miss Stewart, and Miss Gibbons for the time and effort they gave to make the club successful. Through their help the club experienced a most fruitful year.

Construction was begun on this building in 1923 under supervision of the School Board composed of: Charles H. Pearson, President; H. K. Becht, Vice President; Walter Whitehead, Secretary; W. S. Palmer, Treasurer; H. J. Filer, W. C. Leffingwe'.l, Marion Love, and as graduation approaches the work is nearing completion.

THE OLD SCHOOL SYSTEM In 1803 a log school house was built by Daniel Hall and Heniy Hoagland on the Hoagland place. The hi st school in Sharon, that is in the town proper, was built near the present site ot the Eirs aP J-s Church. A few years later a log structure 18x25 teet was erected. 1 he third building built before 1840. was a frame structure located near the former site of the First Methodist Church. Later, about 1850, two frame buildings were erected. The picture of one of them being shown above. It is thought to have been built on the corner ot Silver and Erie streets. In 1859 a school was erected near the present Pennsylvania Railroad depot. This building was bought for a roundhouse by the E. P. Railroad when it was built through here in 1862-63. Later in 1864-65 the Central School Building was erected. It contained seven rooms. Later the South Ward school house was built in 1876-77, the East Ward and West Ward buildings following in the years 1879 and 1885 respectively. In 1840-45 an academy, known as the Old Baptist Academy was erected where the First Baptist Church now stands. This school was never very prosperous and was sold at a sheriff’s sale in 1854. Another institution established, known as the Halle Institute. The contract was given to John Cook in the spring of 1888. The institution was incorporated on Mav 21, 1888.

Some time ago a Sophomore girl wanted to know if the May flower Compact was a new kind of vanity case.

It’s the last particle of spank. A noted game hunter was stopping at a hotel. At 3 a. m. he was aroused by insistent knocking at his door. He found a seedy and odorous individual teetering in the doorway. “What do you mean by waking me up at this hour?” “Shay, are you the gent what advertised for a partner to go lion huntin’ in Africa?” “Yes, I’m the gentleman; what you you want to know about it?” “Nushin’ ’tall, feller, nushin’ 'tall.

The indulgent toastmaster reached the end of his patience and arose to swing rhe hammer to remind the orator that his concluding remarks were long over due.

In this manner we were able to give the Seniors a banquet at so small a cost to the rest of the school that a large percentage of the school were present to see (or should I say hear?) the Seniors enjoy their banquet. The tournament itself was almost as great a success as the banquet. The Juniors met the Freshmen in the finals. With five men from the first eight of the varsity squad, we had the tournament practically cinched. But, as a matter of business, we decided to allow the Freshies to win. We arranged with local clothiers that we should receive a commission on all hats sold to Freshmen during the week following the tournament. In this way we added materially to the profits of the tour-anment, and, consequently, to the success of the banquet. Thus the Junior year, so crowded with such varied activities, soon passed into history, while we passed on to that final period of High School education, the Senior year. Three years gone. Where have they flown? We have accumulated much knowledge during these years and now have the pass to enter “Seniordom.” Paul Reilly was chosen to reign as king, and Zelma Cozadd to act in his absence. Paul King was to have charge of the Royal Treasury, with its vast fortune, Mary Marquis was to write all the Royal documents. The Interscholastic contests came along. Many of the Seniors, with royal banners Hying went out to seek honors. Many were won, due to perseverance on the part of both students and teachers. Cox, Booth. Goeltz, Nightwine, Heutche, Brandt, and Holezle received football honors. Booth. Cox, Broderick, and Nightwine were letter men for basketball. Zelma Cozadd. Evelyn Huether, Dorothy Keiser, and “Kurlee” Koelman, will all be back to the High School in the realm of girls’ basketball. The Seniors also helped with their voices in the Glee Club, and other musical talent in the orchestra. When the honor roll was announced twenty-four names appeared there. David McQueen was valedictorian and Mary Specht salutatorian. That hpnor roll was the result of four years of well spent labor. Brown and gold were the colors chosen by the class, while the coquettish brown-eyed Susan so found its way into our hearts that it was chosen class flower. “Straight is the road to success.” We have started on that road, which seems “a long, long, trail awinding” to a far distant goal. By tugging and climbing and exerting our best efforts we will reach that goal. So, it’s “Good-bye, Old Sharon High.” After a few years, the grand, new, big, school on the East Hill will have made some forget and others not introduced to you. but our thoughts will always be for you and your rooms and halls will lastly echo with the groans and laughter of the High School class of ’24. “Good-bye.” Coral Hendricks, David McQueen. 1924 THE MIRROR 143 The Chas.
