ALLEN—“Johnny” “When a lady’s in the case. All other things give place.” Spe-Re-Wri 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Banquet Committee 3; Senior Vice President 4; Associate Editor 3; Editor “Mirror 4; Band 4; Interscholastic 3, 4; Mirror Delegate N. C. A. 4; Physics Club 4. Johnny handled the “Mirror” in fine style this year and turned out some good issues. We always thought him rather bashful until this year. He sure “stepped out” since he met -------- ? NELLIE KATHERINE ANLIKER “Nellie” “Her smiles are but few. But they're lovely and true, While her frowns, fewer still. We can scarce deem an ill.” T. M. T. M. 4; Physics Club 4. At writing poetry “Nellie” is a very good one to call on. She not only does this but she keeps high on our Roll of Honor. Nellie is pleasant, though a quiet and bashful sort of girl. R AY MON D A P P I, EG ATE—“Happy ” “Liked by all who meet him, unliked by none, For he is a friend of everyone.” Spanish Club 4; Student Council 4; Class Basket-ball 4; Physics Club 4. Until you know him you wonder where he got his name. He has power to be and to make all around him happy. At lunch hour he sure shines in creating laughs. He makes a great clerk for “eskimo pies.” His looks got him some sales, we're sure. DOROTHY ELISE ATWOOD-“Dot” “Thou who hast the fatal gift of beauty.” Pres. Student Council 4; Chairman of Monitor System; Spe-Re-Wri 3. 4; Le Cercle Francaise 3, 4; T. M. T. Si. 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Class Basket-ball 2, 3, 4; Dance Committee; Basket-ball 4; Honor. “Dot” sure is a very popular girl as will her list of activities and honors show. “Dot” had rather a hard time this year, being sick a great deal the last semester. “Dot” seemed to be happy at all times. 1925 THE MIRROR 19 MARY VIRGINIA BAISH—“Ginger” “She has two eyes so soft and brown, Take care, She gives a side glance and looks down.” Society Editor Mirror 4; Glee Club 3, 4; T. M. T. M. 4; Le Cercle Francaise 3, 4; Physics Club 4. When “Ginger” passes everyone turns to look u|«m her. She leaves a path strewn with fluttering-hearted boys. She is some joy-spreader. RHEA FRANCES BAKER—“Rhee” “With golden hair and laughing eyes. Wherein two pools of beauty lie.” T. M. T. M. 4; Le Cercle Francais 3. Rhea doesn't seem to want to get out for school activities, but she lives so far away from school, she can be excused. Rhea seems to take all her time to her “coupe.” JUDITH MAE BALTER—“Julia” “I loathe that low vice. Curiosity.” ? ? Spe-Re-Wri Club 3, 4; Biologv Club 4; Glee Club 3, 4; T. M. T. M. 4; Physics Club 4.

BERNICE IRENE BELL—“Berney” “When she will, she will, and when she won't, she won’t; so theres an end of it.” Glee Club 2, 3, 4; T. M. T. M. 4. If Bernice sets her mind on doing a thing don't ever try to change her, because it’s impossible. We might caution “Les” to always give her her own way or he's liable to carry the results of a rolling-pfn or frving pan about. 20 THE MIRROR 1925 THEODORE JASPER BIGGIN'—“Ted-’ Master of Industry—“Infant Industry.” I,e Cercle Francais 3, 4; Class Basket-ball 4: Physics Club 4. “Ted” doesn’t seem in a hurry at all. He plods along as a “happy-go-lucky.” We always thought him rather slow until we saw him on Senior basket-ball team. ELMER MARTIN BILLINGS—“Bing” “All should cry, “Beware! Beware! His flashing eyes, his curly hair.” Class Basket-ball 2, 4; Le Cercle Francais 3, 4: Glee Club 4; J vsics Club 4. Bing-' is a happy, curly-headed boy. We 'hear he intends to get sick so he can have a nurse to care for him. He will pick the one of course. Bing played well on Senior basketball team. DEANE EDWARD BOYD—“Deane” Loyal hearted, strong of mind, A nobler fellow you’l nevhere find.” Student Council 4; Football Mgr. 4; Class Treasurer 3; Class President 4; Insania, Mirror 2: Physics Club 4; Class Will. Deane showed how popular and well-liked he was by being elected class president. The quotation fro him describes him very well. LUCILLE BRENNER—“Cille” He waits for me, my friend.” Spanish Club 4; Biology Club 4; T. M. T. M. 4. Lucille is a girl who can make a piano talk or a man keep quiet. She has a man who waits each evening to escort her safely to her castle where she dreams of days to come. 1925 THE MIRROR 21 LESLIE BROWN—“Les” As merry as the clay is long. Glee Club 4; Spanish Club 4; Physics Club 4. When looking for someone who's always happy look to Les.” He is also a very great hand at teasing. Les” is to be a Spanish instructoi MILTON LEROY BUCK- Bucky” Little Boy Blue come blow your horn.” Spanish Club 4; Physics Club 4. If you ever hear of anyone being kicked out of Spanish Class for talking, always think of “Bucky” first. He’s the star talker there, and in all other classes. The trouble is he talks when he’s supposed to be quiet. JOHN PATRICK BUCKLEY— Buck” “A man of cheerful yesterday and confident tomorrows.” Le Cercle Francais 3, 4; Class Basket-ball 2, 4; Glee Club 4; Physics Club 4. John is a great “plodder.” We give him credit for his spirit of “go-get-it.” Although he fails in a thing he goes again until he rights it. He played a fine game on the Senior basket-ball team. JOHN FRED BURN—“Johnny” When I went bugs, I went the way Marion did; there was class to the way she went out of her head.” Dance Committee 3; Assistant Circulation Manager 3: Circulation Manager “Mirror” 4; Honor; Physics Club 4. “John is another ladies’ man. While not playing comedian for P. O. I). Assembly he is a matinee idol. John handled the circulation department of the Mirror in tip-top shape this year. .____- 22 THE MIRROR 1925 CECELIA C.

M. 4; Honor. “Ceil” is a girl who will always try anything once. She is very small and dainty and when dressed for “Kid Parties” is always mistaken for somebody’s little sister. GERTRUDE A. CAIN—“Gertie” “Her face set moonrise in the midnight of her hair.” Le Cercle Francais 3, 4; T. M. T. M. 4; Biology Club 4; Glee Club 4.

He showed how he was liked by holding office in the class both years. Bill was captain of Senior basket-ball team. VERA GRACE CLARK— Shorty” “Small of stature and pretty of face.” T. M. T. M. 4; Le Cercle Francais 3, 4; President Biology Club 4. “Shorty” is a nice little girl with light hair and eyes that she sure can roll. We hear Vera is good at running. She should go out for the track team, if that’s the case. I wonder if she practices coming to school late. 1925 THE MIRROR 23 SUZAN N E CXI ETON— Sue “Wit and humor belong to Genius alone.” Basket-ball 4; T. M. T. M. 4; Treasurer Lc Cercle Francais 3, 4; Entertainment Com- mittee 3; Class Basket-ball; Honor; Physics Club 4. “Sue” is a girl bubbling full of fun. “Sue” didn’t know how well she could play basketball until she tried this year and made center on our team. Is there anyone who doesn’t like “Sue”? Well I should say not. MORRIS COHEN—“Macki” “Silent and peaceful I plod on.” Class Baseball 2; Physics Club 4. Morris is numbered among our “quiet gang.” Morris is quite a star in Physics, although he does it all on paper and not out loud.

Jim intends to be an architect. He is great at drawing. We’ll get Jim to draw plans for another New High soon.’ Those in the class intending to wed might patronize one of the class for house plans. BEN GREENBLATT—“Ben” “Just a little man can make a great noise. We can talk unceasing.” Spanish Club 4; Class Basket-ball 4; Physics Club 4.

John also graduated before from a high school in Sicily. . 1925 THE MIRROR 51 Class History It September, 1921, about two hundred and fifteen “fresh-ies” reported at the West Penn Annex. How excited we all were! To think we rere really in High School made us feel important. the sight of those algrebra and Latin books made us tremble, telling our grade school friends we were in High School made us grow an inch, but when we passed a worldly wise Senior on the street we shrank an inch, so our emotions were many and varied those first days. There were so many of us that the Annex wouldn’t hold us all. Consequently some of our classmates were sent to the “Rig” High. That first year was very different from going to school in the grades. Yes, it was hard, but we had a long Honor Roll. Our boys were scrubs on the basket-ball and football teams. We also had a girl on the girls’ basket-ball squad. Three of our members were joyfully received into the orchestra. We had one representative on the Mirror Staff. Hannah Matilda Powell won a prize in the Mirror essay contest. As singers we shone. In the music contest at De Foreest’s the “freshies”, with the aid of “Annie Laurie”, won the prize offered to the class having the best chorus singing. We may have been “green” when we entered the Annex, but the next spring our teachers deemed us sophisticated enough to be promoted to the Sophomore class. In our Sophomore year because of crowded conditions half-day sessions were adopted at the “Rig” High. We went in the afternoon and sat at the Senior side of the auditorium an’ everything. Our Honor Roll showed that we could be really serious at times and could study. This year the interscholastic contests were started and of course our brilliance helped make them a success. We were well represented on the football squad, the boys’ and girls’ basket-ball squads, in the orchestra, glee club, and on the Mirror staff. Our salesmanship ability was displayed when we won the contest between the classes, for the largest number of subscriptions to the Mirror Annual. As Juniors we reported to the “Rig” High at the early hour 52 THE MIRROR 1925 of eight, for now we went to school in the morning. This year our class was organized so our activities were carried on under the guidance of William Cartwright, president; Grace Miller, vice-president; Mable Smith, secretary; and Deane Boyd, treasurer. Our rings compare favorably with the best that Sharon High ever had. Listen! I’ll tell you a secret. We think they are the best. Again we were on the athletic squads. How proud we all were of our “Bud” Elliot. The Juniors were well represented in the inter-scholastic contests and on the Mirror staff. The glee club and orchestra both benefited by our talent. Our class helped organize the Spe-Re-Wri Club. A long felt need for a literary club in the High School was finally realized. The members from our class helped make the club a success by boosting it and taking part in thep rograms. Several Juniors also took part in a play thee lub produced, entitled. ‘‘A Case of Suspension”. Le Cercle Francais, a club for the French students was also organized this year. The Junior members helped earn money to buy French pictures for the French room. As the crowning event of our Junior year we gave a very successful banquet and dance for the Senior class. Our officers and the members of the various committees worked long and hard in preparation for the one “big” sociail event of the year. Every member of the class deserved credit for its success. That fall we entered the “New” High as Seniors. What emotions we felt as we entered that building! At first we were lonesome for the Study Hall where our class sat together. Everything now was so different. After the strangeness wore off we were glad that we were at the “New” High. We were and are all so proud of the building and its equipment. The highest honor that our class could bestow on any of its members was given to Deane Boyd when we eletced him president. The other officers were John Allen, vice-president; William Cartwright, secretary; and Hugh O’Harra, treasurer. The Mirror staff now include ten Seniors. Mary Ella Service won two prizes and Mable Smith won one prize in the annual Mirror Day Contest. Espana Pequenita, the Spansih Club; the Biology Club; and T. M. T. M. the Senior Girls’ Club were organized this year. We also helped support the other clubs.

THE MIRROR 55 GRADUATION Seniors! Long have vve been together Traveling one same way; Cementing friendship never to sever. Although we part today. Happy have been our High School days; Some bitter, tinged with sweet ; Yet always a memory will remain, Until once more, we meet. Together in wisdom and stature we’ve grown. Until, now as Seniors, we stand Steadfast and strong in the cause of the Right; The credit and hope of our land. Our faces are turned toward the dawn in the east, The symbol of youth’s growing power, And eager are we to battle the world; To rejoice in our youth’s short hour. Parting from friends is sorrow indeed; Rut life does not wait for each one. And so from old Sharon’s sheltering walls We go, that our work may be done. ’Tis hard to change from a youth to a man. To adopt new cares and new joys; But such is the way of this old world, And we have no fear for our boys. 56 THE MIRROR 1925 And our girls, too. May they win success In every mode of life; No matter what their station be— If ’tis business woman or wife. At the great world’s beckon, we each go forth, Some part in the world to play; But each with a sigh will oft recall Some joy of our High School day. And though our part be great or small, As long as we are alive, Let nothing but credit e’er be said Of the class of twenty-five.

Peg: “Oh! hurry up and tell me about it. What has become of that ‘popular bunch’ of girls, Izzy Troutman, Emelyn Erb, Dorothy Attwood, Marie Starbody, ‘Ginger’ Baish and Marian Lockwood?” Betty: “They have formed a society of Man-Haters.” Peg (almost fainting) : “Is the world really coming to an end? And tell me which girl John Burn has finally chosen.” Betty: “You’ll never believe it, but he is a confirmed old bachelor and a bearish professor of chemistry at University of Fredonia. And Mary Jane Sarver, you know she scarcely waited till graduation was over before her beloved Jimmie Gidding led her to the marriage altar.” Peg: “And what about our Arrow Collar man, Bill Deifen-derfer?” Betty: “At last the value of Bill’s good looks has been recognized—he is now displaying neck ties at the Five and Ten. And surely you’ve noticed in the newsaper that Dorris Cook and Ray Taylor are suing for divorce and Lee Moyer is named as the third angle of the triangle.” Peg: “You don’t mean it! And what has become of that dashing Jimmie Graham?” Betty: “You don’t mean to say you don’t know that! Why 58 THE MIRROR 1925 you surely know that he is preparing the architectural plans for the new Gable Theater.” Peg: “And I bet Lucille Persch is a dancing teacher, isn’t she ?” Betty: “No. You’re wrong; she owns a Modiste’s Shop on Railroad St. Alice Moore, Gertrude Hewitt, Marjory Ray, are models in the establishment and the shop is considered quite a success.” Peg: “And I suppose Hugh O’Hara by this time is a noted speaker.” Betty: “Oh! far from it! He is still successfully holding the position of head waiter at Currie’s Restaurant. And Julia Balter has followed her natural tendencies and is now President of the National Gossips’ Society and it is reported that she is exceptionally successful.” Peg: “And what about our noted shieks. “Teddy” Shaeffer, Ben Nye, and Merle Speer?” Betty: “Oh! they’re successfully terminated their many love affairs and are now happily (?) married. And do you know that Hannah Powell is now a noted speaker of the International Women’s Club for Orators. She always was a fluent (?) speaker.” Peg: “And I suppose Bernice Bell and Lester Smith have finally agreed to disagree?” Betty: “Not in the least! Bernice, after much earnest consideration. is now a missionary in a heathen land and leaves Lester pining ‘his handsome youth’ away to old age. And you remember that good-looking John Troutman. Today he is a high and mighty prize fighter, having beaten all records of Wheatland.” Peg: “And I suppose Naomi, of the wicked eyes, is using them to the fullest advantage on the stage or screens isn’t she?” Betty: “Wrong again! Naomi is a staid little school ‘marm’ in Coalburg. And Bill Cole and John James have followed their natural inclination and are now the successful managers of the ‘Sharon Cigar and Tobacco Store.' ” Peg: “Oh, yes! cigarettes always were their faithful companions.” Betty: “And oh thrills! Chuck Williams and Uny Goodall, Jane Kring. Elmer Billings. Julia Levy and Bill Mahaney are touring the country now as ‘The Famous Dancing Sextet.’ ” Peg: Oh! that just suits them. And oh, tell me about Muriel Sayre.” Betty: “Oh ! you might know. She and Homer are enjoying their honeymoon trip in Homer’s lately acquired Ford. And another couple happily settled ( ?) is Nellie Gulish and Carmine Pepe.” 1925 THE MIRROR 59 Peg: “Oh, year. Don’t I remember their happy time in the library.” Hetty: “And, too, we have many noted language professors from our midst. They all were brilliant scholars in school: Harold Ray is a French Professor at W. and J. College; Wesley Davis, Edgar Newberry, Jack Egleston, John Murchie and Jacob Millison are famous Latin Professors in our various colleges.” Peg: “Do tell me what has become of Kenneth Mayer?” Betty: “Why you surely know about him. He is one of the most successful heroes playing in the Mermaid Comedies. He plays under the name of “Wicked-Eyed Sam.” Peg: “Oh, sure! I’m crazy about his playing. I’m curious to know where our illustrious debaters, Herman Nathan and Alvin Isenberg are.” Betty: “They’re still debating and are quite successful when debating on the quotation, ‘Resolved that if Henry Clay fell in Buhl Lake the water would get muddy.” Peg: “And what about Deane Boyd?” Betty: “Deane! Oh, he’s changed completely and is as meek as a lamb under the influence of Lucille’s rolling pin. Peg: “That’s hard to believe. How are our former star P. O. I) pupils, Ruth Ray and Cecelia Carney?” Betty: “Oh, they’ve peacefully settled all their difficulties and have established a home for friendless cats. They’ve had many offers for brilliant marriages but have refused them all in the interest of their dear little cats. They always were such kind-hearted things, you know.” Peg: “Well, I remember them.” Betty: “Frank Ontko is now carrying on the shoemaking business with brilliant success. His specialty is making leather heels. Peg: “Oh, yes! He demonstrated them a lot while in High • School didn’t he? And I already have heard that Lib Edeburn and Fred Daugherty have been married for almost ten years.” Betty' “That’s not.much news! I wonder if Lib neglects poor Fred as much as she neglected her Vergil in her Senior year. But here is some news: Can you imagine it—Florence McDaniels and Clara McCready are two of the ‘wickedest vamps and fanciest shufflers of the Follies.’ ” Peg: “Seems impossible, but miracles will happen! And another member of our class who has become a famous cartoonist is Suzanne Clifton. I always like to read her column is the newspapers entitled, ‘Saucy Sue’s Sayings.’ ” Betty: “Theyjsurelv are clever! And did you notice in last night’s paper that Lib Richards is suing the multi-millionaire. Frank Rigby, for breach of promise. John Allen is the acting at-(Continued on page 151) 1925 THE MIRROR 61 The Junior Class, ’26 “But, sir, allow me to disagree with you,” quoth Dr. Asthma to Mr. Weather-more. “I believe—” “Believe or disbelieve,” broke in Weathermore, “yet do I affirm that ideal class spirit is composed of three distinct elements, namely athletic and intellectual attainment along with good fellowship. Take my High School class for example. “In the fall of 1922 our class started its High School career in an old, shacky building, known as the Annex. 1 dare say it was a reprobate of a school house with those dirty ceilings, ancient furniture, and dilapidated floors that shouted at US out of pure pain whenever we so much as set foot upon them. Still, considering that Diogenes lived in a tub, the old hulk of knowledge could have been worse. For Frosh, we were all that could be expected ; indeed we claimed some promising speakers, musicians, and athletes. A year in the Annex was plenty so we passed on to the new Hi.” “Upon entering the Old Hi we received rigid instructions not to lean out the windows lest we should fall in the river. The class yielded to this superior advice and there were no casualties. The Old Hi was heaven to the Annex, but it had its foibles, the most marked of which was a tendency toward weak knees; at least it trembled when ‘Porky’ Donaldson crossed the threshold. Let me emphasize that great progress was made in this Sophomore year. Speakers, artists, students, musicians, and athletes flourished. There were several who won honors in the interscholastic contests, six fellows who wore football letters, and a boy and two girls who starred in basket-ball. Then came the honor of selling more Mirror year-book subscriptions than any other class. Paul Christman alone sold in the vicinity of 300 subscriptions. The Sophomore year was terminated favorably by holding a class picnic which was in all respects a social success. “The School Board decided that the Old Hi wasn’t good enough, so they erected a wonderful new building which became the third phase of our metamorphosis. With all possible facilities we commenced life anew in the New Hi. Firstly we found it necessary to choose some leaders, so we elected John Cassidy, president; Lewis Moon, vice-president; Louise Hoezle, secretary; and Raymond Hodge, treasurer. Jack Martin headed the stalwarts as football captain, while Christman, Cassidy, Donaldson, Moon, Pierson, Brown, Hodge, Stewart, Perkins, Curtis, Wilson, and Pepe earned letters. On the basket-ball team, which was one of the best in the school’s history, our class was represented by three stars: Tarr, Moon, and Pearlman. We bragged also of two of the most outstanding players on the girls’ basket-ball team : Captain Lucille Hendricks, and Ardis Manning. George Tomko, Theodore Taylor, and Allen Thompson won fame as artists. Esther Dodds, soprano, was one of the school’s chief prima donnas, while among the sages of the interscholastic contests were John Cassidy and George John, orators; “Peg” Brown, reader; William Pitts, dehator; Robert Jewell and John Service, extemporaneous speakers; Louise Hoezle and Anna Fawcett, essayists; and Glenn Mayberry, violinist. Then, topping all this, was that class spirit which made our skating party the success it was. Believe me, Doctor, what more could you expect? At any rate—” “Most marvelous—most explicitly so!” exclaimed the Doctor. “And what class could this have been?” “The Class of ’26, Sharon High School, to be sure,” replied Weathermore. “At any rate—” “Yes, yes. Go on.” “AT ANY RATE, sir, my personal nature, which you have irritationally disturbed, is like a motion picture machine which, if stopped in the middle of the play, will delay the show by setting fire to the film, much as a sun glass would ignite a paper. Perhaps some time next year the story you have broken will again be taken up. Adieu, Doctor Asthma.” “And what a peculiar fellow is this Weathermore,” thought Dr. Asthma. —Leffingwell. 1925 THE MIRROR 63 The Sophomore Class Say Kurt, I’m writing up the history of the Sophomores, so I’m out collecting material. Will you aid me in recalling our most remarkable deeds as Presides and Sophs,” asked Peg one day as she and Kurt were walking home from school. “I’m sure you’re welcome to all the aid you’ll receive from me,” was the laughing retort. “Hello Peg. Wha cha’s doing?” Thus they were greeted by Benny as they stood at the corner jabbering. Hello, old top. Say I bet you could give me some data for my history,” remarked Peg. “Well, I wouldn’t be greatly surprised if I could,” was the answer, humorous in its mock pride. “The Mirror contest was firstl know, but who won it?” As Peg asked this question she drew a piece of scrap-paper from her book preparatory to taking notes. “Freddy” Amon first prize for short story.” Oh, yes, Kathy Graham poem and Bob Merk second essay. As there facts were mentioned, they were quicly jotted down. “I simply must go now. I’m taking a music lesson to-night. See you at ‘geometry’ club. So long’,. With this Kurt left and Peg and Benny started down Stambaugh in a leisurely manner still conversing about the History. “Say, weren’t we the original Freshies, though. Take the Freshie bleat, for instance,, giggled Peg. “Oh, yes; member ‘my little lamb?’” At this both girls began to laugh, but wcer abruptly stopped when they bumped into Ruth and Cat. “What’s the joke”? they demanded, simultaneously. “Oh, we were recalling the Freshie history and just now out bleat struck us funny.” “Yes, and just now you struck us funny.” This repertoire set them all giggling as they strolled home. But let us return to the subject of the History. A glimpse at I’eg’s scrap paper furnishes us ample material. It is as follows: FRESHIE YEAR Intersholastics: Essay, “Bob” Merk; recitation, “Es” Blaclcmore; piano (alternate), “Ben” Jones! algebra, John McConnell; (alternate), Jup Ray. Athletics: Boys, none.

Oh, help me in such a task of describing this most illustrious class. Lend me the mind of a Socrates, the tongue of a Demosthenes and the ready pen of a Shakespeare that I may describe it with full justice and without hypocrisy. The sun did not come up on September sixth. It rained all day. Our minds felt as weary of school as the day seemed to be. We went to school out of mere curiosity to see the New High School Building and to meet out old friends. But things began to brighten up after a few days. We took interest in our studies and began to be praised by our teachers as possessing such ability as can rarely be found among High School groups. This was more clearly shown when one of our more ambitious members made the debating team and helped win out for us against Greenville in the contest. The Freshmen were also represented in the vocalist and pianist positions in this contest, and also won. We soon let the upper classmen know that we were not to be trifled with in athletics as well. Our team gave the Seniors a rude jolt when it beat them in inter-class basket-ball. Along with these things some of our members took an interest in the orchestras and band. Now these organizations are verdant with Freshmen. In spite of all these things we are not spoiled. We are still a modest crowd. Once in a while some attempts at greenness pop out, but generally we are found working for the good of the school. We aim to make a history for this outsanding class by our achievements which will remain immemorahle to others and which will be held up to classes as a model for them to live up to. 66 THE MIRROR 1925 i!i 11 ..1 ill 111 -T pK gfsg il!!!!!!i!!S!ii!!!!!!:8!!liii!!i!E Usk i mm min:i:nri;i:i:rj'j:i:iaxB— '2!iii!i!82S!i!ffiS!i!!!!!2i!i!B! mmm ssMlB SSuBSSSS ►KHoK ►uses©, KEnaisssssssa m,i:iiiiiR:i:in:i:t:i:iiia:iiui:i:i:ia:i mmmasmm ! i 1 lil;! iiuixna iliS 1925 THE MIRROR 07 History of the Eighth Grade A slow, steady, drizzling rain proclaimed the advent of September 2, that day of hustle, bustle, and excitement. But such a small and unimportant thing as a disagreeable day culd not quench the enthusiastic spirit of the Eight Grade of 1925. Bear of being late had brought many of us to the doors of the Sharon High at an early hour. The air was filled with the sound of many chattering, buzzing voices. Umbrellas sheltered small groups of youngsters, all eagerly trying to talk at once. And when we had passed through the doors many “oh” and “ah” was heard as we gazed upon the splendor of our surroundings. At first just a little timid, a little awed, but soon happy, care-free, and joyous. One great event of our young school lives was the meeting of our Literary Club every Friday afternoon. We were always greatly delighted in seeing our friends on the program, but if we, ourselves, were compelled to be on it—well, that was a different matter. And when we got up on the floor what a queer feeling in the region of our stomachs we experienced; how our knees did shake and nearly refuse to support our weight. One cold January day as we were bending over opened books, suddenly above the shrieking and whistling of the wind there was a muffled roar which caused girls to jump and boys to look longingly at nearby windows. It was the fire siren. In the auditorium many an interesting and profitable hour was spent. Maybe we wre listening to a violin solo or a vocal solo. Perhaps it was a play or our weekly assembly, but ’twas always a welcome diversion. Friday afternoon often found us in the gym, with tiers upon tiers of seats and its spacious floor upon which many an exciting and absorbing game took place. Many, many were the times its walls echoed and reechoed with the sound of cheering, laughter, and clapping. As our thoughts have traveled back over this year, we long to linger yet awhile with its memories; but Time has flown swiftly, and these days are forever gone. Let us now turn our faces hopefully toward the future and close the history of 1925’s Eighth Grade. Florence Caldwell. ■ - THE MIRROR 1925 THE MIRROR 69 History of the Seventh Grade The New High School was ready in time to be used for the term beginning September 2, 1924. I remember well the opening day of the new building. The seventh and icghth grades, as well as the High School, went to it. There were many more children than had been expetced and after about a month all the pupils fo the seventh grade, except those who had come from East Ward, Prospect Heights and Jceffrson went back to their ward buildings. There were many changes; changes in schedules, changes in rooms, and changes in teachers. After all the changes had been made things went along smoothly enough. There were rallies in the gymnasium, assemblies in the auditorium, and other happenings. There were football games for a while, and just before Christmas vacation, the boys started an Inter-Class Basket-ball League and basket-ball games began. The pictures, showing the adventures of Sir Ernest Shackelton in his search for the South Pole, were presented and were very interesting and exciting. The time flew by like a whirlwind and soon came Christmas vacation. When the pupils returned, it was time to turn in and get ready for tests. This kept everybody busy for some two weeks. Then on January 21 and 22 came the tests. About this time the dodge ball games began. Class E won the championship of seventh grade. They then played the winning eighth grade, but eighth won. Then five girls were picked from each seventh grade and they played before six judges, who picked the ten best. A Student Council was organized and three pupils from ecah home room were required to keep order. Also seventh and eighth grade reporters were added to the “Mirror” staff. We were especially fortunate to be qualified for seventh grade this school term, as next year, due to crowded conditions, only eighth grade and High School classes will be allowed. For most of us this has been the most interesting school year since we started to school. It has afforded many great opportunities for us. Next year all, I hope, will continue in the building in eighth grade. I am sure that we all will wait eagerly tor the beginning of September and the opening of school. Alice Benhow Billy Rinehart. THE MIRROR 71 Another year. Another graduating class. Another annual. The last issue of Volume Thirteen. The Staff, with the co-operation of the student body, has done its best to produce a “Mirror” worthy of Sharon Hi. This year we have been in our magnificent new building. We left the old Hi, but brought with us the indomitable spirit of Sharon Hi, which never recognizes defeat until the last whistle has blown. Students, we are with you to the last. At this time we wish to thank those who have helped us publish the “Mirror,, by subscriptions and by literary contributions. We also wish to thank those business men who have been faithful to Sharon Hi by their advertisements in the “Mirror”. Next year a new staff takes charge. We hope the school and city will co-operate with them as well as they have with us. We know that new staff will strive for the “Mirror”, and they have our best wishes and congratulations. 72 THE MIRROR 1925 THE MIRROR 73 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 13. 16. 17. 18. 18. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28.

In other words, the Sharon Hi gridders won—they defeated their opponents. Although the Orange and Black lost a couple of minor games, they defeated some very strong teams, including Meadville and Butler. Cach Dickerson is largely responsible for the success of the team; he teaches football in a scientific manner, laying much stress on clean sportsmanship. Dick's character and personality is such that goes to make up an ideal coach. Assitsant Coach McGrew deserves congratulations for his good work with the team. “Mack played four years on Geneva College team before coming to Sharon. Captain Jack Martin played his third year as varsity tackle. He is one of the best linemen Sharon has seen for some time. Jack’s star playing and splendid leadership brought him the captaincy again for next year. John Cassidy is a combination football player and orator. His byward is perseverance. John Troutman, tackle and guard, won his letter by hard, clean football fighting. His graduation leaves a vacancy which will he difficult to fill. Ted Donaldson was one of the big factors on the team. Porky’s 225 lbs. of interference brought Sharon many a long end run. Ray Brown is another guard of no mean ability. As line smasher, he is in Class A. Jack Curtis, the only center who won a letter, is a consistent player and good at snapping the hall back. Frank Rigby played very conmiendably at end postion although handicapped with a bad leg. We lose Rig by graduation. Ray Hodge, end, did unusually good work this year at breaking the end runs and snatching forward passes. This was John Pierson's first year on the squad but he found no trouble in earning a letter. “Swede” has another year with us. Lewis Moon, quarterback, showed his ability as field-general. Lewy is good at carrying the ball as well as running interference. Eddie Perkins is another quarterback who won a letter. You always find Eddie in the thick of the play. Earl Wilson, fullback, featured in line plunging and throwing forward passes. Paul Christman, halfback, has been rated as one of the best ball-carriers in this section, 40 say nothing of his punting ability. Carmines Pepe was Christman's running mate. This makes Pepe’s third year on the team. Paul Stewart also broke into the line-up as halfback. Pauly's unusual speed gave Sharon many long gains. Many thanks to Manager Dean Boyd: his letter was as hard earned as any of the players’. The good financial state of the athletic institution is largely the result of incessant work of Faculty Manager DcFrance. THE SCHEDULE Sept. 27 S. H. S. .. 6 Raven 32 Oct. 4 S. H.

It was one of the fastest and best coached teams Sharon has ever had. The team was noted for its wonderful pass work and the passers for their splendid team work. The schedule was unusually difficult, but one of 19 interscholastic games Sharon won 16. A number of very strong teams were defeated, including Baberton, Raven, Cleveland West and Fostoria. Sharon’s few defeats were by very narrow margins. Beaver Falls was the only team on the schedule (excepting the alumni) which the Orange and Black failed to defeat at all; they lost this game by one point playing without the services of their captain. At New Castle the Yellow Jackets, as Sharon was called, wone 19-16, but later New Castle reversed the action and beat Sharon by one point. Although Sharpsville eliminated Sharon by three points in the Mercer county tournament, the school’s high opinion of the team and its coach was not altered since the Yellow Jackets had previously defeated all of the strongest teams in the county; by large scores Sharpsville, Farrell, and Greenville were each defeated twice, while Mercer and Grove City were also easily beaten. Then, last but not least, the Sharon cagers earned a reputation for good, clean sportsmanship; all of their victories were won fairly. Coach Dickerson is responsible for having developed the basket-ball squad into one of the best teams in this district. We cannot say too much in his favor on account of his gratifying wTork with the team. Anyone who knows Coach Dickerson can easily understand why the players are willing to fight for the sake of the school and “Pop Dick”. Captain Bud Elliott played his last year with the Orange and Black at forward position. Bud is a consistently fast, all-around player. His basket-ball ability along with his likable personality made him an ideal captain. “Baldy” Tarr, who has been on the squad for three years, is the logical man for captain next year. “Baldy” is exceptionally speedy forward and a good shot. Francis Ryan, center, is another star player whom we lose by graduation. “Riny is good at watching his man as well as making baskets. “Lewy” Moon is the standard type player for guard position. He is fast and expert in breaking up the opponent’s play. “Lewy” Pearlman, guard, was a very strong factor on the team. “Lewy” plays a strong defensive game and has a mania for making long shots. Frank Rigby’s letter was well earned. In addition to working hard as manager, Rigby played on the second team. 80 THE MIRROR P'25 The good work of faculty-manager Gilmore, who took care of the finances etc., is also much appreciated.

They won seven out of twelve scholastic games and were defeated by only one Mercer county team—Greenville, who has not lost a game for some time. At the beginning of the season most of the players were new, only two letter players being hack from last year's squad. To add to this difficulty, the hardest games were played at the first of the schedule. The enormous development of the team is shown in the fact that the Sharon girls won the last five games on their schedule. The co-eds were worked up into first class basket-ball material through the efforts of Miss Flinn, girls’ basket-ball coach and gymnasium instructor, whose success is due to her strong coaching ability and popularity among the students. One of the greatest characteristics of teams under her supervision is that the players make very few fouls. Captain Lucille Hendricks starred this season at forward. She is a dependable basket maker and an unusually good foul shooter. Doris Hunt plays a very fast floor game as running mate to Lucille Hendricks. Doris has two more years with the Orange and Black. Perhaps one of the speediest and best side-centers in this section is Ardis Manning. Seldom does the ball come within her range without being passed on to the Sharon forwards. Also served as manager. Suzan Clifton, who graduates this year, did good work as center. She always manages to outjump her opponent on a top-up. Mildred Ray, guard, is another player whom we lose by graduation. Mildred’s persistence in following the ball makes her a good guard. Josephine Gill, guard, is a combination of speed and aptness in breaking up opponents’ play. She will he on the team two more years. Zelma Speizer also made a letter at guard position. Miss Speizer is a class-A player who is always in the thick of the game. GIRLS’ SCHEDULE Dec. 27 S. H.

We are publishing this notice to review and comment on some of the notable things which we have seen the Alumni accomplish this last year. First and foremost, of course, stands forth their achievements in forming an Alumni Association. At the beginning of this school year this organization was a small one, with few accomplishments, but with aspiring hopes. At the close of this year we can look upon this organization with a glowing pride, for it is now a full grown, living, and working unit. With nearly 700 members, with active officers, with members full of pep and enthusiasm, we are looking forward to the years to come when it will be an institution honored and respected in our High School. Now, we would like to take the opportunity for thanking the members of this association for one of the splendid things they have done for our High School. This is in the prize which they are offering to the best all around” boy and the best “all-round” girl in this year’s graduating c'.ass. We could continue describing the activities of our Alumni—their dances, clubs, and general good times .the ability of its members at college, but all we will take time to say is that all these functions only serve to show what a really commendable group it is. In conclusion, we wish to give three rousing cheers for all our Alumni, together with the sincere wish that the next year will see them happy, prosperous, and successful. ■ ■ THE MIRROR 1925 THE MIRROR 86 THE MIRROR 1926 1925 THE MIRROR 87 Senior Orchestra The Senior High School Orchestra has passed through another very successful year under the guidance and instruction of Professor David Reese, Professor of Music in the Sharon Public Schools. The orchestra not only played for several of our assemblies but also played for several banquets, held by different clubs in the city. They have very willingly played for all Interscholastic contests and for the Elson Art Exhibit, held at the High School. Besides all their playing they have enjoyed several social affairs for themselves. The orchestra has gained countywide recognition as one of the best in Mercer county. With only a few members graduating this year, next year promises to be a very successful one for the Senior High School Orchestra. The following is a line-up of the orchestra: Piano ............................................ Louise Hoelzle Drums ..............................................

R. 88 THE MIRROR 1925 1925 THE MIRROR 89 Junior Orchestra The first Junior High School Orchestra has been successfully organized this year by Professor Reese. He has taken much interest in it and this, together with the co-operation of those who are members have worked together to make it the success that it has been. The orchestra has furnished programs on several occasions under the direction of Professor Reese. The Seventh and Eighth grades and the Freshman class furnish the membership of the orchestra. The present class of Freshmen will leave the organization next year to enter the Senior Orchestra, but we hope that the coming grades and the present Seventh and Eighth will keep the ball rolling and make the Junior High Orchestra just as successful as the Senior Orchestra has been. THE MIRROR 1925 THE MIRROR 91 The Glee Club The Glee Club of Sharon High of the years 1924-25 is one of the finest that has yet been produced. At the first call for singers in the fall of ’24, those students who were interested immediately responded and the eagerness and desire for a Glee Club of which they could be proud has resulted in the splendid chorus that Sharon High now has. At the present time we have a group of singers that we feel can compare with that of any other High School. But this could not have been achieved had it not been for the untiring efforts of Mr. Reese—to him must go the greatest part of the credit. The facilities offered by the new High School, too, have done much to further the success of its Glee Club. Professor Reese was then able to hold practices in groups, and could devote more time to individual singing. Short programs were frequently given, also, in the various groups. From the Glee Club, Mr. Reese has formed Boys’ and Girls' Choruses. Botli the Boys’ Chorus and Glee Club have made appearances on our auditorium stage. These appearances have been the features of various assembly programs, the opening of the High School, and the Elson Art Exhibit. The groups are to be used in the annual school concert which will be held in May. The Boys’ Chorus has delighted many audiences with its production of “ Sleep, Kentucky Babe”, in which the boys appear to be playing banjos. Among the selections given by the Glee Club were Sullivan’s. The Lost Chord ”, Mendelssohn's, Be Xot Afraid”, and a special arrangement of the Sextet from I.uc'a. A special meeting of the Club was held in February for the purpose of electing officers. The followinw were chosen : Louise Hoelzle, president; Cora Kuee, secretary; Ted Donaldson, vice-president; Muriel Sayre, treasurer. With the Club organized, it is felt that more interest will be shown among the members. The chorus will lose many of its best singers through graduation, hut it is hoped that the loss will be somewhat lessened by the oncoming Freshman class, and that the term of 1925-'26 will find Sharon High School with an even better and bigger Glee Club than any it has ever had. 92 THE MIRROR 1925 1925 THE MIRROR 93 The Band Although the High School Band has only been organized since last year, the organization has been a great success during the past season. Through the efforts of Prof. Reese, the members were allowed to use the auditorium for their practice, and anyone happening in there some Friday noon and seeing our bold gang of musicians, would think that John Philip Sousa himself was there. The organization this year was composed of about .35 pieces and turned out strong at all the home football games. They also accompanied the rooters to the Niles game. When the basket-ball season came around, the band added life and pep to every game and finally made the trip to Grove City, where they furnished the music at the County Tournament. Much credit for the Band’s success goes to Prof. Reese for his work, and a great deal is also due to the members themselves for their splendid co-operation throughout the year. Efforts are now being made to secure uniforms for the members, so that next year they can “step out” and make the organization one to be remembered. 1925 THE MIRROR 95 Interscholastic Contests For the past three years there have been held contests in scholastic events among the schools of Mercer county. The interscholastic contests arouse interest in literary achievement just as football and basketball do in athletics. Two teams are chosen. One goes to the opposing school; the other stays at home. In this way there are always two contests on the same night. Our first contest this year was with Mercer. More than one hundred and forty students came out in the elimination try-outs, from which the two teams were chosen. At the contest in Mercer, Mercer won; in Sharon, Sharon won. Totalling the points for each school, the result was a tie. Our next contest was with Greenville. Only a few over sixty came out for try-outs this time. This was natural, for a winning team had been chosen and some students will not compete with them. There were enough, however, to make the winners work for the honor. The totals in this contest stood in Sharon's favor, even though Greenville had a majority of points in Greenville. The committee in charge appreciates the attitude of all those who have taken part, especially that of the losers. There has been no talk of unfairness, in some cases the losers have even helped the winners make their productions better. As the Annual goes to press the County Round-Up has not yet been held. It is to be at Sharon this year. Those who have represented Sharon High this year are : ESSAY—Lois Wagoner. Louise Hoelzle, Anna Fawcett, Catharine Fawcett. DEBATE—John Allen. Alvin Isenburg, William Pitts, Herman Wathan, Samuel Nathan. RECITATION—Margaret Brown, Kathryn Moyer, Esther Black-more. PIANO—Lewis Perkins, Bernice Jones. ORATION—John Cassidy, George John. Charles Fleming. VIOLIN—Glenn Mayberry. Robert Merk. VOCAL—Florence Craig, Esther Dodds, Anna Levy. DECLAMATION—Robert Webb, William Armour. William Dif-fenderfer. EXTEMPORANEOUS—Robert Jewell. Lucille Pcrsch, John Service. 1925 THE MIRROR 97 Spe-Re-Wri For another year the Spe-Re-Wri Club has flourished in Sharon High School. This club, organized for the purpose of developing the speaking, reading and writing of its members has fulfiled its duty. This was clearly shown by the fact that almost all the contestants in the Inter-scholastic Contests were members of the Spe-Re-Wri Club. The club added to its list of subjects for programs, music. It not only wishes to develop literary talent, but also musical talent and appreciation of good music. The club met every other Thursday evening at the High School. A business meeting was first held, after which the evening would be turned over to a program. Many interesting programs were given, each consisting of the subjects dealt by the club, namely, oration, declamation, essay, debate, recitation. extemporaneous speaking, violin, vocal, and piano solos as well as several added musical solos. During the year the club enjoyed several very good parties, at which dancing and cards were the chief entertainments. The membership of the club this year was limited to twenty-five Seniors, twenty Juniors, fifteen Sophomores and ten Freshman. Every quota was filled with a great many on the waiting list. The Senior members of the Spe-Re-Wri Club from class of '25 extend their very best wishes to all other members and to Mr. James A. De France for a successful year next term and every other term and we certainly appreciate the training and enjoyment we have received from the Spe-Re-Wri Club. Mr. DeFrance sponsored the club and was one of the chief organizers when it was organized in 1924. Although the Seniors leave in body, they never will leave in spirit. 1925 THE MIRROR 99 Le Cercle Francais “Le Ccrcle Francais” is one of the most delightful student organizations that Sharon High School has to offer. Meeting once a month under the direction of Miss Anna McBride and the leadership of Elizabeth Roets, the French students are benefited in their language study by discussions and reports on France, its people, its customs, and ideals. During the past school year, Le Cercle Francais” earned money enough to purchase some French song books and victrola records for the club. As music is always a welcome addition to any program, these were greatly appreciated by the members of the club. In collaboration with the Spanish Club, Le Cercle Francais” held a very delightful Valentine party at the Sunshine Home. Cards and dancing entertained the guests and light refreshments were served. Earlier in the school year, “Le Cercle Francais” also held a very enjoyable Hallowe’en party. At this party, Ed McDonald and Nellie Gulish were awarded prizes for their clever costumes, and no one could ever forget the mysterious old lady that turned out to be Miss McBride. To foster broader conception of the French people and the French language in America is the aim of “Le Cercle Francais”. The ultimate success of the club this year and its ever growing membership has assured its future in Sharon High. 1925 'I'HE MIRROR 101 Espana Pequenita “Espana Pequenita es un reflexcion de Espana . This year brought fortli in Sharon High School a new club, one for the betterment of Spanish. The object of this club is to better acquaint the students of Spanish with that language and to introduce to them the customs and costumes of Spain. At the first meeting of the club a name was sleeted, officers elected, and committees appointed. The name selected was Espana Pequenito, meaning, “Little Spain.” The officers elected for the year were: President, “Bud” Elliott; vice-president, “Lib” Richards; secretary, “Bob Jewell; and treasurer, Anna Fawcett. The club throughout the year has enjoyed several very good programs, consisting of dialogues and plays in Spanish, essays in English and recitations in Spanish. Special features of the programs were Spanish dances and costumes. Miss Hazel Phipps, instructor of Spanish, very ably and capably sponsored “Espana Pequenita . The Spanish students of the class '25 extend their best wishes to the oncoming Spanish students and to Miss Phipps for a very successful organization in the future. H. O’H. 1925 THE MIRROR 103 The Biology Club The Biology Club holds the distinction of being the first natural science organization in the history of Sharon High School. It was founded in the fall of 1924 under the supervision of Prof. W. B. Irvine to further the interest of biology among the students. In short, the Biology Club is a live club for studying living things. The officers for the first part of the year consisted in Theodore Tarr, president; Robert Webb, vice-president; Florence Tupper, secretary; and Frederick Anion, treasurer. Those for the second term were: Vera Clark, president ; Lucille Brenner, vice-president; Ada McCormick, secretary; and Arthur Cornwell, treasurer. Meetings were held every other week in the High School building. The programs, which included interesting talks and essays on biological subjects, were tinged with a few musical and humorous numbers so as to make the meetings very appealing. Among social activities were a Hallowe'en and a Christmas party, both of which were well attended and much enjoyed by the members. Much of the interest in the club was promoted by Mr. Irvine, faculty member. Mr. Irvine not only has the knack of making the study of biology very interesting, but is held in high esteem by the students. One of the biggest accomplishments of the Biology Club was to purchase an educational projector which enables pictures and photomicrographs to be shown on a screen in the class room. Equipment is provided so that the students can prepare slides for study and exhibition. The club aims to obtain a greenhouse on the roof of the High School building and to establish a natural museum. The enthusiam with which the Biology Club has carried out its work and activities in this past year assures its complete success in the future. 104 THE MIRROR 1925 1915 THE MIRROR 105 T. M T. M. Several years ago, the Senior girls, with the aid of Mrs. Roberts, organized a society to help them work and play together. The club was such an instantaneous success that the girls of the following graduating classes demanded a similar organization. Thus the precedent of a Senior Girls’ Club was established. In the past, the meetings were held in the Parish House, but now the club is benefiting by the splendid facilities of the new building. During the past year, the T. M. T. M. has held meetings fortnightly, to say nothing of the several enjoyable parties. The “T. M. T. M.” entertained the Senior girls of Sharpsville, Farrell, Hickory, and West Middlesex. Each school contributed one or two numbers to the program, and thus the party was made much more interesting. Such a meeting tends to promote good feeling between the various valley high schools. The “T. M. T. M. also entertained the feminine members of the faculty and the wives of the professors at a card party. A feature of the program was a pageant representing the advance of the Senior class through three periods: The Annex, the Old Building, and the New Building. In order to cover expenses, the “T. M. T. M.” ran a check room at all the home basket-ball games. This proved a very profitable enterprise for the club. During the High School opening and the Elson Art exhibit, the “T. M. T. M.” was also active, many of the girls acting as guides. Also, a candy sale was conducted by the Senior girls with the aid of the lower classes. To Mrs. Roberts goes much of the credit for the success of the “T. M. T. M.” Her sympathetic assistance did much to make the club the success that it has been. iiiii«ivmnpiHf: ss mm S3S3 S3S III mmm Mg _5s “■1 1925 THE MIRROR 107 The Student Council The Student Council, a new project in the New High School, has been the first self-governing body in the history of the Sharon schools, composed entirely of students. Each Home Room in the school was represented by three members of that room, one of whom, as chairman was required to make all announcements concerning the Council, also to take charge of room, during the absence of the teacher, and lastly to see that the room was kept in proper condition. The duties of the Student Council, as a whole, consist of taking care of traffic in the hallways and keeping an eye on things in general. Meetings were held bi-monthly, and suggestions for benefiting the school and student body were given, and acted upon accordingly. A Monitor System was established by the Council placing a student at each corner of the High School building, supervised by a student called a captain, who saw that the monitors were on their posts, and who took charge of all reports during his period. This plan was so devised that during the entire day, the halls were supervised, to take care of traffic and to prevent loafing. This was one of the most successful projects of the Council. An executive committee was elected by the Council to take charge of the misdemeanors of the students and to pass judgment on them. This committee was composed of two members of each class, including seventh and eighth grades. The officers of the Student Council Executive Committee were as follows: Dorothy Atwood, president; Louis Moon, vice-president, and William Cole, secretary. These took charge of both the Student Council and the Executive Committee. The student has accomplished successfully the preserving of law and order in the High School and great credit is due its members. Throughout the year it has stuck to its original purpose of being a government of the students, by the students, and for the students. 108 THE MIRROR 1925 Come Out of the Kitchen By A. E. THOMAS According to the custom established last year the Senior Class presented on Class Night the comedy, “Come Out of The Kitchen”. The story of the play is written around a Virginia family of the old aristocracy, the Daingerfields, who find themselves temporarily embarrassed, decide to rent their home to a rich Yankee, Mr. Crane. One of the conditions of the lease is that a staff of competent white servants be engaged for his sojourn in the stately house. The servants fail to appear and one of the daughters of the family conceives the idea, that she, her sister and two brothers shall act as the domestic staff. Olivia, the ringleader, elects to be the cook, Elizabeth will be the house maid, Paul, the elder brother, the butler, and Charlie, the younger, the boot-boy. When Burton Crane arrives from the north, accompanied by Mrs. Falkner, her daughter, and Crane’s attorney, Tucker, they find the staff of servants to possess many methods out of the ordinary and amusing complications arise. Olivia’s charm and beauty impress Crane and a merry story continues through a maze of delightful incidents, until the real identity of the heroine is disclosed, but not until Crane has professed his love for the cook and the play ends with the brightest prospects of happiness for the young people. Miss McBride coached the play. She gave much time and hard work in making the play a success. Her great patience, good humor and untiring effort was appreciated by all. 1925 THE MIRROR 109 The class responded to the try outs with great enthusiasm and fine sprit. A double cast was chosen, including Elizabeth Edeburn, Jane Kring William Diffcnderfer, Hugh O'Hara Marion Lockood, Betty Roets ......... Deane Boyd, Herman Nathan ...........

SOTUS BROS 1925 THE MIRROR 143 144 THE MIRROR 1925 CLASS HISTORY (Continued from page 52) The Student Council was organized so that our school might have government of the pupils, by the pupils, and for the pupils. The Executive Committee of the Council was formed to act as judges. Instead of policemen, as system of monitors was devised. Deane Boyd, manager! John Troutman, guard; and Frank Rigby, guard, earned their letter in football. The basket-ball team this year, though did lose in the tournament, had one of the most successful seasons any Sharon High School team ever had. Before the tournament excluding the Alumni game the team lost only one game. VVe certainly were proud of Captain Elliot, Center Ryan, and Manager Rigby. In girls’ basket-ball Suzanne Clifton and Mildred Ray won letters. Our music talent helped the band, orchestra, glee club and boys' chorus. On our Honor Roll for four years we had twenty-seven names. Dorothy Wray was valedictorian and Lois Wagner was salutatorian as the result of four years’ efforts. The Physics Club, inspired by Mr. Dickerson, bought and constructed a radio. To earn the necessary money they sold candy and Eskimo pies. There would have been something lacking at the games if there hadn’t been the familiar cry, “Eskimo Pies! Five cents, please”. Blue and silver were the colors chosen by the class and the dainty ophelia rose became our flower. After due deliberation we chose as our class motto, “Character is the only true diploma”. We stand at the turn in the road. Some of us will go one way and some another. As the years go by the different paths will lead us farther and farther apart. Classmates, as we look ahead with a hope for the future, must we sadly say, “Good-by”? In years to come will each one wonder where the others are? No, we need not say good-by. Let us say au revoir, but not good-by. We can keep in touch with each other through the alumni association. Sorrow and happiness may come, trials and joy may go, the years fly or creep past, oceans may separate us, still as loyal members of the Alumni Association, we can keep in touch with each other and help spport our school. Classmates of ’25, we say au revoir to each other. Sharon High School Alumni Association, we, the class of ’25 are coming to help swell your ranks.

You of course remember the old, old story of the colored man who flatly refused to attend the funeral of his neighbor’s third wife. Being questioned by Mandy, as to “How come?” Uncle Joe replied: “Well, you see. Mandy. Ah don’t like to be acceptin’ other folks politeness when I never have nothing of the kind to offer in return.” Stories are stories, but in the old highly colored one which we have just related, there is involved an thought and principle which runs through every strand of life’s warp and woof. The clouds say, “We will furnish rain.” the sun says, “I will furnish heat.” and then they both demand that the earth shall give them something worth while in return. When man refuses to co-operate with Nature, there comes forth thistles instead of figs, and fruits and flowers give place to weeds. This is simply obeying the natural, the unwritten law of compensation ; the law the old colored man was unconsciously obeying when he refused to attend his neighbor’s funeral. THERE IS COMPENSATION Mott Robertson’s Cream 146 THE MIRROR 102? Henely: “Name the four seasons. Joe: ‘‘Pepper, salt, vinegar, and mustard.
