THE DART And now when leaving each one has Ambitions high, ideals great To find reward as time goes on All being master of their fate. But think! How oft do we forget Thru disappointments weaved between When mingled with the joys of life We meet the snares that intervene. May wisdom to us all be given To know a vision from a dream And understand more clearly what Its coming in our life may mean. So whatsoever good you find Or lofty worthy things you see. Pause then to ponder o’er the thought Until a vision comes to thee. And as we strive, may time reveal We’ve made our vision to Ik real. □ □ 0 Scarlet and White (Class Song) MARTHA ECKEl.BERRY 12 When we first came into High School As Freshmen, we were shy! We found it hard to keep the rules No matter how we try! Oh! The bumps and knocks they gave us (They wished to start us right) And the pathway looked real dangerous For the Scarlet and the White. When our Freshman year was ended. Bold Sophomores were we. Our work—it was commended It was so g(K)d. you see. We took on the High School manners, As among our books we delved; And the best of all the banners. Was the flag of 1912. When as Juniors we were gaining Our homes on the field. We showed our thoro’ training. And never did we yield. To the red rose we were loyal It stood for strength and might And of all the banners royal ’Twas the Scarlet and the White. 27

THE DART Now for four long years we’ve labored ’Midst scenes we love so well, And truly we’ve been favored While in High School we did dwell; And no matter where we wander We never will deny That we love our Alma Mater, Dear old Ashtabula High. □ □a Senior Class History KENNETH PECK ' 2 T was the year nineteen hundrd and fifty. '1'hc scene was a recitation room in the magnificent edifice which housed the Ashtabula High School. The aged professor of astronomy paused in his lecture. In the sultry stillness of the room, the paper rustled dryly as he turned back the pages of the large book of sky-charts which stood upright on the desk. At length he reached the one which he sought, for he examined it closely and, straightening, faced the class. “Gentlemen,” he said, “we have now come to the discussion of a certain one of the heavenly Ixxlics which is very interesting, to me at least, fts origin is surrounded in mystery, and. I might say. partakes of the supernatural. At any rate, it was under very peculiar circumstances that it was discovered. I speak in this rather unscientific way because I myself witnessed the advent of the star, and was deeply impressed at the time. It was away back in 1912. I was then a young teacher in the Ashtabula High School. The year that I mention. there was a fine graduating class. 'I bis class in all its four year’s course in the school had been favorably known for all the things that arc the desirable attributes of such a body. They exceeded their predecessor in spirit, in learning, in the brawn of their young men, and in the winsomeness of their women. 29
