S. Our class is best, Of all the rest, That did ever graduate! With firm resolve, and spirits high, We end our glorious High School days. Glory and honor we have won That's the class one-nine-two-one! Our colors bright, Purple and white, Speak of strength and purity. We pledge to you To be true, Ashtabula, dear old high. May you, dear school, be ever proud, Of the record we have shown. May fame and honor ever come, To the class one-nine-two-one. We will now strive To find the way. That will lead us to success, Though far and near From A. H. S. Alma Mater, we’re for you, To students here and teachers, too, We wish success in all you do, Goodbye, good luck to every one, Is the wish of ’21. S ntuir |Jnrm By DUANE HARMON O, dear old halls of A. H. S. Which we have known so Ion , We say farewell to thee, dear school, Farewell—. To you who rise to take our place Upon whom we rely, The time has come for us to say Farewell—.

THE DART 21 History of the Class of ’2 1 LEROY ARVIDSON Homer Blakeslee, the famous chemist, scientist and philosopher, was seated in room 23 when I entered. “Why are you looking so peeved?” he asked me. “Oh, I’ve got to write the class history! But say, what are you doing here?” “I’m glad you told me that,” Homer answered. “You see, four years ago, while I was sitting in Room 29 I hit upon the idea of making a plate that would record all the doings of our class. I hid these plates in every room in the school and now I’m here to collect them.” “How’re you going to read these plates?” I asked. “Oh, the plates are in the form of victrola records and can be played on the Vic. Come on over tonight and if my experiment works you can jot down your history, and there you are.” You can bet, I didn’t lose any time getting over there that evening. To my delight (and also to Homer’s) the experiment was a success and the following is a brief of what I heard: On Monday, Sept. 10, 1917 approximately 215 unusually brilliant Freshmen (yes, that’s what they said of us) entered A. H. S. We were treated with a great deal of respect, about as much as is shown a murderer by a mob. Nevertheless, under the leaderships of Miss Sharer, Miss Daum and Miss Church, who had charge of room 29, we soon gained the favor of the upper class men. Mr. Thalman, our principal, helped us in the selection of our courses. The Commercial course was the choice of the majority of the students, whiie the College Preparatory was a close second. The English Industrial was chosen but by a few. On October 9, awe stricken and quaking with fear we received our first “report cards.” Not a “sole” received a “D.” Before we realized it examination time neared and like all other Freshmen “Why Worry?” Then came the final exams and though I say it with tears in my eyes, “Some of our class mates chose to remain Freshmen another year.” September next saw us back again, ready to increase our knowledge. We were now under the leadership of our new principal, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Thalman having resigned. This year we were handicapped by “Ole Man Flu” who kept us out of school for a whole month. After our return, like good (?) Sophomores, we worked hard to make up for lost time. “Hooray! It’s November 11th and we have a new holiday, Armistice day!” After our examinations in January, we held a party in the gymnasium. All Sophomores reported a good time.” The “flu” obliged the school authorities to leave out a great many things, but not the exams! What joy then to be a Junior! September rolled in again, and with it the first great event of the Junior year, the election of class officers. The result of the election 22 THE DART was as follows: President, Max Dowell; Vice President, Almeda Eastman; Secretary, Elizabeth Hubbard and Treasurer, Edward Krause. Athletics next took up our thoughts for Coach Thorpe was back with us again this year. With his usual supply of stories and splendid coaching, not forgetting the help of the Juniors he rounded out a champion football team. Then came our social activities in the spring—the Junior party and later the Junior-Senior reception at which, of course, we were the hosts and hostesses. As ’twas said, “We had a swell time.” In the fall of 1920, our last year, one hundred and ten of us came back. The officers of the previous year were re-elected. The class of ’21 brought fame and honor to A. H. S. for not only had we members on the football squad but also on the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams, also the debate team. The Senior party, held in the Gymnasium March 4, was an event “very much enjoyed” by the dignified Seniors. Next came the Junior-Senior reception, the Juniors proving themselves “royal entertainers.” And so the class of ’21 has done its duty to old A. II. S. and not until the year 79103661482 will a class graduate which will be superior to ’21. Senior Honor Roll LEROY ARVIDSON ALMEDA EASTMAN MARY LOUISE FAWCETT ELIZABETH HUBBARD ISABELLA JOHNSON HATTIE LESLIE TILLIE MOHILEWSKY IRENE RICHTER KATHRYN SEYMOUR LUCILLE SHARP J THE DART 23 Class Prophecy TILME MOHILEWSKY I had just finished censoring the last item handed in by my chief reporter, Marie White. For the forty-’leventh time that day I had marked the top of the news items “May 26” but not until this last item was marked did it occur to me that the 26th was some sort of an anniversary, wedding, birthday, holiday—something that I should remember—Oh ! how stupid of me! Why of course, it is just fifteen years ago today tha: the class of ’21 graduated from A. H. S. “Here I am fifteen years after my graduation, nothing more or less than the Editor of the “Ashtabula Evening Prevaricator.” I was thus meditating and was about to call in Marie for a chat about our old high school days when— “Bang! Bang! Bang!” was executed upon my door. “My gracious goodness,” I thought, “must be a giant and he’s awfully mad,” but I very cordially said, “come in!” And in she came, “Too bad a person can’t have an ad in your punk old paper without getting it all muddled up—” Now it was my turn to fly off the handle, “See here. Miss, I want you to understand that the ‘Prevaricator is not a punk old paper and furthermore—” and here I stopped and stared. “W-w-why, Dell, how on earth did you get here?” for there as sure as preachin’ stood Della Louis laughing at me. “Well, Till,” she explained, “of course you know that I am a traveling advertising agent. I was called here to make an ‘ad’ for a big fire sale that the Fire Department is going to run. I happened to think that today is the fifteenth year or our commencement anniversary, so thought I would surprise you, and what I realiy want, is a good old time gossipy chat about our classmates.” “Surprise me, well I guess you did, you dear! I was just wishing I had someone to talk to. I was about to call in Marie White (she’s chief reporter on my staff) but I knew she’d be busy. Say, I’ve got my ‘Annual’ some place around here. That will help us to remember all of the ‘kids.’ “Do get it out and let us begin at the beginning. I am sure that through my travels and your newspaper work we can place the where-abouts and work of every member of our class.” I rummaged around in the top drawer of my desk and at last resurrected the “1921 Annual.” The first picture we turned to was of Marion Anderson. . “Have you heard from Marion lately, Dell?” I inquired of her. “Heard from her, well I guess I have! The last time was when I passed Public Square, in Cleveland, She was on one soap box yelling, “the only place for the husband is in the home!” While she was catching her breath, Amelia Crockett, on another advertisement for “Ivory” proclaimed, “the total prohibition of cruelty to poodle dogs.” 24 THE DART “Leroy Arvidson! Isn’t that picture funny, Dell? You know at the time it was taken we all predicted him to become a movie star, but he s far from it. Lee is now teaching Domestic Science at A. H. S. Oh, I saw Leslie Beckwith just the other day. He is an expert accountant and was auditing the books of the Gas Co., which is now managed by Mildred Sheldon.” “Oh, say, while I was in New York City, I went to the Metropolitan Opera House, and what do you suppose I heard and saw? A musical review composed by James Breen e, with Clifford Smith singing the part of the leading lady!” “Here is shy, modest, Vera Brooks, she is now the court stenographer. You of course know that Gertrude Stimpson is the Judge.” “And here’s Andrew Burnham! I know this will surprise you. You see, I’ve been in a great many of the larger cities lately. Now listen closely; Andy and Luther Hollister are conducting a very prosperous beauty parlor in Sheffield.” “Speaking about beauty parlors reminds me, Edwin Palmer or rather ‘Red’ has invented a solution of red pepper, baking powder, jamaica ginger, nitro-glycerine and ammonia, which he guarantees to make any one’s hair the exact shade of red as his. As an inducement to buy this solution he offers with every bottle a perfectly beautiful football. Harold Trautman and Russel Wagner are two of his best traveling salesmen.” “Your mentioning inventions, Till, reminds me of Homer Blakeslee. He invented a perpetual motion potato masher and now just like everyone else who has discovered something before anyone else, he is being photo- graphed and painted and statued and busted.” “What has become of Dorothy Burch, Dell?” “Why, she and Kathryn Seymour ; are prosperous detectives in Trumbull, and right across the hall from j their office are two marvelous lawyers, and they are Clara Dalin and Hattie Leslie.” “Just you wait a minute, I have something that I am sure will interest you.” I went into the filing room and pulled down the big file which contains the April and May issues of the “Prevaricator.” We were soon engrossed with the contents of these issues. Among the various items which I pointed out to Della was “Speaker of the House. Mary Louise Fawcett admits that she | will Recognize Only the Good-looking Male Representatives.” About two columns away from this was an item which said, “Representative Marion Mills has been Recognized by the Speaker. He has introduced a bill which will prohibit high school children from attending school more than ten hours a day. Mr. Mills firmly believes that the twelve hour system that we now have is a serious handicap to the mental development of modern youth.” We turned to another issue and on the first page was a notice saying that “Aviatrix Annette Hogan was arrested for exceeding the speed limit. She pleaded ‘not guilty’ and was released on $1000.00 bail, which was provided by Mr. Gordon Burweii. President of the First National Bank of Ashtabula.” We were now looking at the April 10th issue. The Headline read. “Plans for the Center Street Subway Completed,” and the article further THE DART 25 stated that “Contractors Eleanor Morey and Hildur Olson intend to leave the entire supervision of the construction in the hands of Marjorie Shaughnessy. The Work will commence April 13.” We turned the page and beheld a picture. I covered the name beneath it and told Della to identify the likeness. This is what she saw: a woman whose hair is straight and combed straight back. She wore tortoise shell rimmed glasses (now out of style for the last 12 years) and a waist with a high collar and long sleeves. In her hand she held a net, such as children catch minnows with. Delia made several attempts to guess but failed. That woman in the picture is no one else but Vera Emmons the great Bug-ologist. On the “Sporting Page” of the May first issue is an article by Coach Hazel Durey, announcing the line-up for next fall’s “Great League Football Squad.” Among its members are Margaret Clarke, Rose Ethel Dooley, Alice Erickson and Beth Rowiey. We again resumed our review oi tne “Dart.” “My, I never realized there were so many in our class. Here’s Anson Caloway. It was just the other day, Tillie, that I made out an ad for Anson. He’s conducting a matrimonial agency in Plymouth. 1 made an ad for Helen St. John, too, she’s teaching elocution by mail. Her office is in New Lyme.” “Della, do you know that Duane Harmon is teaching Greek at Junior High?” “No, but did you know that John Gran and Leo Kane are directors of a beautiful girls’ seminary? They admit girls who are of the ages from 16 to 20 only.” “How interesting! Let me see, it seems as tho’ there are some others who have taken up the teaching profession. Oh, yes! There are Barbara Mosier and Lillian Holmes. The giris are conducting the dancing classes in Mabel Eddy’s Dancing Academy. Helen Grosart and Ruth Day are Superintendent and Principal respectively of the Dorset High School. Forest Crandall is an ardent student of Browning and is teaching English In his old home town. Oh! I nearly forgot Leslie Broughton is the kindergarten teacher in the city schools. “Poor Venus! She fell in love with a count and Mary Craig married him. And now, Venus Dexter, of all people is a nun at St. Mary’s convent.” “Tillie, I was never so surprised in all of my life as I was to find Harry Carlton, Chief of Police in Ashtabula! And by-the-way whatever became of Max Dowell? and of Clifton Dunn?” “Max is right here, as society editor on the ‘Prevaricotor.’ Clifton has an egg factory. He has a method of producing eggs from egg plants.” “I received a letter from Almeda Eastman the other day. She is Ambassador to France. She says that Doris Shields has joined her and will act as her secretary. “Oh, what a picture! Why that's Merle Eddy!” we both exclaimed. “I always knew Merle would be famous,” Della continued, “and he is. He is noted all over the country as being a model husband. He stays at home and takes care of the kiddies while wifey works in the steel mill.” “Nellie Farrow is a mighty busy lady. She is truant officer.” Della didn’t seem a bit surprised at this but said “I always knew Nellie would do something desperate.” The next picture was of Henrietta 26 THE DART Fassett. I turned to the file again and showed Della a picture of Henrietta, Audrey Howard and Mildred Heas-ley, just before they sailed on their missionary mission to Missonla, a new-country adjacent to Mesopotamia. When Della saw the next page she exclaimed, “Nowr I really am surprised!” What she, or rather we saw, w-as the Ashtabula Opera House’s ad telling the public that “on June 4ili you will have the opportunity to see the great Shakespearean Drama, ‘Macbeth. ’ The renowned actor Arthur Spaeth will play the part of Macbeth while charming Lucilie Sharpe will play opposite as Lady Macbeth.” “Agnes George is the mayor of Plymouth,” Della informed me, “and she says that Iona Seymour has a dairy, which the students of agriculture, all over the state are compelled to visit before they are given their diplomas.” “Homer Pritchard ow-ns a restaurant,” this information from me, “and as a convenience to his patrons, and himself, he is running an undertaking establishment as a side line.” “Very considerate I calls it,” Della answered. “What do you think of this for opposition? Ruth Kelly is selling ‘French pastry guaranteed to make you fat, while in the same building Laurice Warren is selling 'Candy guaranteed to make and keep you slender.” “Of course, Dell, you know Charlotte Hoyt is married. I called on her several times. You ought to see her home! She has a “QP” doll In every room, which she said are Julia Smith’s specialties.” “Isn’t that a sweet picture of Elizabeth Hubbard! The w’hole wrorld is at Betty’s feet. Her latest opera “John of Johnstown” is said to be the most wonderful ever produced. “We have three members of our class w'ho are in the Cabinet. Howard Hough is Secretary of War, Edward Krause, Secretary of State and Endi- cott Landmesser, Secretary of the Treasury. And, Tillie, Kathryn Loomis is now in the Senate. She has introduced a bill which wiil provide that women who are tw'enty-four or over need not give their ages when registering. ’Tis said the bill is sure to go through.” “Hazel Lewis is Superintendent of the local hospital. Who would have thought fifteen years ago that Edith Johnson would be head surgeon, Florence Kellogg, chief dietition and Mable Crum, head nurse at Hazeis hospital!” “Elizabeth Lindslev and Elizabeth Reed are on the stage as “Star Acrobats and Paper Weight Lifters! Della have you heard from Elli Hanhilami or Lucy Guerini lately?” “Come to think of it I did. Elli is Commissioner of Immigration, and Lucy........oh, yes, Lucy has a very exclusive “Hat Shoppe” on Fifth Avenue. I am a little worried about Agnes Mack and Dorotha Grover. I haven’t received so much as a word from them since they left for Portugal to start a Portu Geese farm.” “I wouldn't worry, because I met the Reverand Dorothy Pelly, just before the girls sailed and she said she w'ould pray “for their safe deliverance,” so I feel sure that they are safe.” “Robert Shauter, American Consul at Bahama, sent word to the American Press that at last the unheard or was being accomplished. He stated that Ray Thorpe and wife are successfully raising Bermuda onions on the Bahama Islands.” THE DART 27 “That is marvelous. Till. I know of another accomplishment achieved by a member of the class of 21. Isabella Johnson has established relations with a lot of planets. She has also discovered that she has a multimillionaire uncle living on Mars ana he is going to leave her all his money when he dies!” “Della, do you know that Clarence Kennedy has turned scholar and author. Well, he has. He has written a psychological novel entitled “Why Mary Left Home and Came Right Hack.” “I’m going to get that book as soon as I can. Say, 1 witnessed an Underwood typewriting speed contest last March and among the contestants were Wilbur Mullen, Helen Wingelt and George Moury. Wilbur is now the world’s champion, having written 250 words a minute. Helen wro:e 200 words a minute and as a result of this has a position as demonstrator for the company. George wrote 199 words and has gone back to his old job as public stenographer, which brings him a salary of only $89000.78 a year.” “Merton Morse made a fortune by managing his own 5 and 10c’ store, so he decided to live on the interest of his money. He had an auction to sell out his stock, Harry Swift being the auctioneer.” “I passed Marie Shiya’s dry-goods store on my way to the office this noon and a very queer advertisement which was in the window attracted my attention. I looked closely ana read, ‘Ray Ticknor, fortune teller and hypnotist.’ 1 looked again to make sure that I saw rightly. ‘Is that a picture of Ray?’ I asked myself. Yes, those are Ray’s eyes, but his hair hangs to his shoulders and he is the possessor of a beard which is at least two feet long.” 1 glanced around at the clock and jumped up. “Mercy, Dell, it’s 7:30 and you must be famished. We’ll go to Hotel Ashtabula. I’m sure we’ll get a good dinner, although we are late, for Irene Richter is now the hostess there. It took nature 10.000,000 years to make a man out of a monkey, but it lakes Miss Richards exactly two minutes to change him back. (For example Arthur Spaeth.) Photographer to a Senior: “Do you want this picture large or small?” Senior: “Small, please.” Photographer: “Well, close your mouth then.” Mr. Rand: “Agnes, you weren’t paying attention to me.” Agnes: “Well, you can’t expect me to look at you all of the time.” Fee! Faw! Fum! The girls are chewing gum. But never mind, when they are thru, It’s probable the rag they’ll chew, And I prefer the gum, don’t you? Yum! Yum! Yum! Museum Guide: This old book is very rare and valuable, and it is so old that the leaves are falling apart. Student: Looks like my loose-leaf note book. Harrie K.: May I raise my hand? Miss Warmington: What for? H. K.: I want to ask a question. 28 THE DART The Senior Play Let us forget our troubles for a while. Let me take you back to Old England, in the eighteenth century, when the women, and the men too, wore powder in their hair and hair-ribbons. Think of it, a hair-ribbon on a man! And every gentle lady made a curtsy to all her gentlemen friends and said friends returned the greeting with a bow. Picture in your mind a philosopher, a theorist in fact, who is intending to work out the theory that every man should be his own wife-raiser. So our theorist, in a cold and calculating manner picks out a young and healtny girl from a group of foundlings, and educates her until a time when she is of an age, and in a position to marry him and in due course supply him with a paragon worthy of his name. But alas for our theorist, who thinks that love in his breast has died years before! After a due lapse of time he realizes that he is really in love with his intended bride. You may weii enough say, “What next?” Just this; when at length our theorist makes his proposal to her, he makes it so deli- cately that she imagines that he is asking her to marry his scapegrace nephew, a young and lively soldier, who is really her ideal. And again, alas for our theorist! It has been well said that, “The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley.” Perhaps you have foreseen the outcome of this merry tangle. Picture our theorist, now no longer a theorist, walking slowly down the garden path, looking longingly at a house which was to have been his and hers, with the shadow of a smile lingering on his face, while from the house are wafted the strains of “My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose,” sung as a duet by two young people. Now we must come back to this world of troubles again, but we saw all this and more May 13, when the Seniors put on their annual play. This year it was “Mice and Men,” by Madeleine Lucette Ryley. At that time some of our most fashionable seniors were transformed into antiques for an evening. The following seniors were the ones who were antiquated at that time: Max Dowell ....................... Mark Embury, the theorist Merle Eddy ........................ Roger Goodlake, his friend Homer Pritchard ........ Capt. Lovell, his scapegrace nephew Helen St. John................... “Little Britain,” or Peggy Homer Blakeslee................Sir Harry Trimblestone, a fop Gordon Burwell ...................... Kit Barniger, a fiddler Duane Harmon ..................... Peter, Embury’s servant Vera Emmons .................................. Mrs. Goodlake Hazel Durey ............ Mrs. Deborah, Embury’s housekeeper Kathryn Loomis............. Matron of the Foundling Hospital Luther Hollister........... Beadle of the Foundling Hospital Isabelle Johnson ..................... Molly, a kitchen maid THE DART 29 A Modern.............? By TII.LIK MOHILEWSKY “Oh, Mother, isn’t that horrid, and to think both Max and I wanted to go!” The door closed with a bang, the girl dropped into a chair, the head of auburn hair went down on the table, and sob after sob issued from the small girl. “Why, Faynetta, dear, what is the matter? There, there, I know you're all tired out.” “No, Mother, I am not tired. Just because Max and I had the measley measles we’ll have to miss our first real high school party,” and again the large gray eyes filled with tears. “Now, Faynetta, brace up! Dry those tears, and talk so I can understand you. There now, what is the matter ?” The girl blew her nose and began, “Well, Maxine and I both came to school this morning and everything just went off peechie. Then after school when we were comparing and exchanging notes on school gossip, up came one of the first team girls and said, ‘Kids, you coming Friday night?’ I know we gave her a funny look. She then told us about a lawn party that was to be held on the school lawn for all the kids that had been on any of the athletic teams. It had been announced about two weeks ago but of course WE were home with the MEASLES,” and again the lips of this Freshman girl, who had made the second team, began to quiver. “Now, dear, why are you crying? Why can’t you and Maxine go Friday night? There will be no lessons, is Maxine ill?” the mother questioned. “Oh, Mother, don't you see its tomorrow night! What would we wear? You wouldn’t have time to make me a new dress.” “I think your blue taffeta would do nicely and I’m sure Maxine could wear her little brown satin,” her mother answered unsympathetically. “Why, Mother! This is to be a lawn party. It’s May now. Wouldn’t we look pretty among a lot of girls dressed in light colored silks, voiles and organdies! We’d feel about as much at home there as an undertaker would looking for business.” Maxine too, was just crushed! She considered it nothing less than a calamity, but she had a feeling that some how “Gran’ma” would see that it was “all right” as she had done on so many other occasions. To be sure, it is quite an honor for a Freshman to make the second team, but better than that, Maxine had been sub on the first team! And now, after all that glory, not to be able to go to the party. Well, it was indeed a catastrophe! “Gran’ma” Maxine’s never failing confidante, extended a sympathetic ear, and after the tale of woe had been disclosed she, too, enthusiastically suggested the “brown satin.” “But, Gran’ma, they’ll all be togged out in light colors,” and fearing the suggestion of a last year's dress, added, “and you know I’ve grown so much in the last year I won’t be able to wear a single one of my last summer’s dresses.” 30 THE DART “Well, dear, all you need is one,” her grandmother graciously answered. ‘‘I really am terribly serious about this because we want to go so much I Why, Gran’ma, there are going to be Sophomores, Juniors and even Seniors and Gran’ma, there are going to be some - - - some - - boys, too!” A smile lit the elderly lady’s face and Maxine knew that “Gran’ma was going to make it all right. ” Ten minutes later Maxine could be seen “tearing” across the street. She burst into Fay’s house and shrieked, “Fay, Fay, we can go after all.” She immediately proceeded to impart “Gran’ma’s” plan. Fay’s mother approved it. Knowing glances, muffled whispers, giggles and the details or the plan were completed. The next day dawned bright and rosy. The girls managed some how to go through the routine of the day, however, that is not saying how far from school were their thoughts. Father Time at last ushered in the dismissal of school. “Gran’ma” was to help the girls dress. It took them several hours, but finally they were ready to go. Everything about them was perfect. Any one who passed the High School about eight o’clock beheld a sight which they will undoubtedly long remember. The lawn was beautifully decorated. Tables and chairs were artistically arranged beneath the trees and a great many lanterns and bright colored streamers were gaily festooned from tree to tree. The rainbow hues of the girls’ dresses pleasantly contrasted with the unconventional black coats and white trousers of the boys. Eight o’clock sharp two girls, quaintly attired appeared. No one had seen them come or knew wn they were. They were dressed in th-fashion of 1776, one in light blue, t.. other in pink. Little white cur hung under the poke bonnets whiir they wore. The large lacy collar were very becoming to the parts the faces which were visible for tn-eyes and noses were covered by blac domino masks. Their skirts were ver full, containing hoops which encircle their hips, and lacey pantaletre-peeped beneath them. Wnite silk hose and black satin slippers adorne their dainty feet. “Ah-h-h-h” and “Oh-h-h-h” were heard as they approached tne scene of the party. The boys thronged around them and in a few minute; their program cards were filled. Tilt girls gave their names as “Prudence and Priscilla.” They were the center of attraction and many of the students thought they were there to add to their amusement. Ten-thirty came all too soon and as mysteriously as the girls appeared they disappeared. When they were safely out of sight and hearing Maxine exclaimed, “Oh, Fay, I twisted my ankle and I’ve lost one of my slippers, and just think, it belonged to Gran-ma’s great-grandmother.” “I’m awful sorry, Max, but we just can’t go back, because if we g' back, they’re bound to find out who we are and then it will spoil it all Wasn’t it just wonderful, just as we planned it, all but the slipper.” The girls again started off for home. Maxine in her anxiety for “Gran’ma’s” great grandmother? slipper, had not noticed the sharp pains shooting around her ankle. She said nothing about the pains to Fay. but decided to wait and see what was going to happen, and she limped away, holding on to Fay’s arm. THE DART 31 At the party the sudden disappearance of the girls caused a great deai of excitement. A scouting party was immediately organized. After they had searched, what seemed to them every nook and “cranny” of the school yard a loud whoop was heard from one side of the lawn. “Buster” Dean had found a slipper! “Bus er” was the star on the basket ball team, but BUSTER was BASHFUL! He did not want the siipper. Let one of the other fellows take it, but the boys made him keep it and told him that Monday he must find his Cinderella. Monday, the school paper, with tne news of the previous week was distributed. Maxine could not come to school, for she had sprained her ankle more seriously than she had surmised. However, when Fay bought her paper the first thing that greeted her was the big headline: “A Modern Cinderella’ Then she read the detaiied account of the party, the appearance and disappearance of the girls and at the end of the article were these words: “Prince Buster Dean, Junior, has the slipper, and will soon start his search for his Cinderella! Come on girls, ’fess up. Who is Cinderella?” A bright idea “struck” Faynetta. That afternoon after school she “cornered” Buster. She plead and implored but to no avail. Buster wouid not deliver the slipper (in person). At last, thinking that perhaps Buster had a sixth sense, she appealed to what she called “his sense of pity.” “See here, Buster, how wouid you like to be cooped up in an oid chair, with an achey ankle, thinking about who had your great-great-greatgrandmother’s slipper? How would you like to be ending up your basketball season like that, huh?” Fay had “hit the nail on the head.” Buster did have a “sense of pity.” “All right,” he answered, blushing to the roots of his hair, “but you’ll have to come with me!” “Well, go get the slipper and come on,” Fay commanded. They were now on their way. “I can’t see why you can’t give her the slipper yourself,” he argued. But he remembered having played with Maxine when they were little tots and he knew that “really and truly” he wanted to see Max again. He wanted to get rid of his shyness, he wanted to be like other fellows and this was his chance. He would try to be brave, others had done it, surely he could. They were in front of Maxine’s home. “Go, now, Prince Charming, enter!” teased Fay. “Not without—” he turned around but Fay was gone. After rehearsing the Launcelot Gobbo advance and retreat, he slowly but resolutely walked up the stairs, started to ring the bell and then—decided not to. He faced the bell again, put his finger on it. turned to go again—but too late! He had accidentally pressed the button! “Why, Buster, come in,” the sweet voice of Grandma greeted him. “I c-c-came to - -” he stammered. “Why, you came to see Maxine, of course. It’s a long time since you’ve come to see us. Come right this way, Maxine is in the living room.” No, he had not intended to tell Grandma that he “had come to see Maxine,” he was going to tell her he had “brought her slipper,” but after that cordial welcome, what else could he have done but “come in”? He entered the living room and (Continued on Page Fiftv-8ix) THE DART 32 The Isle of Death By ARTHUR SPAETH “As I remember it, the first time I had ever seen Carlton was at the Union Club in Cleveland. It was there I was introduced to him and from the first hand clasp I grew to like him. He was an odd fellow, given to morbidness, and at times distracting, nervous spells bordering upon the epileptic. He was of medium height, regular features and rather light build, which made him seem almost puny. His hair was snow-white, which offered an odd and most bewildering contrast to his dark blue eyes. One evening at the Club, as he and I sat before a log fire, which was burning in the hearth with a duii, ruddy glow, I incidentally opened a discussion of the article I was reading, which happened to deal with the recent disappearance of one of the South Sea Islands. 1 don’t know wnat it was, but suddenly I had a premonition of something wrong. Turning, I saw Carlton standing erect, his long lean fingers tensely clasping and unclasping. Surprised, I got to my feet, but he motioned me back without even removing his gaze from the fire. As I was again seated, he began to talk, and this is the essence of what he said, as best I can remember it— “We had been tossed around in tne typhoon for about three or four days before finally, on the dawn of the 23rd of December, 1908. our yacht, the “Maid of the Mist,” finally found shelter and temporary safety in a little lagoon indented in the shore line of the “Isle of Death,” as I afterward called it. “Our party consisted of me, my brother John, his two friends Jim ami Dave West, and three May lays, who acted as the crew. After the landing they set about repairs and the renewing of our water supply, while I, having been recently ill, thought I would climb the shore bluff and get a view of our surroundings. As I remember it, the atmosphere was heavy with a peculiar but nauseating odor of sulphur, and filled with a heavy red ash. After a short, hard climb I ultimately reached the top, and came upon a flat table land. “Along to the east the shore stretched away as far as the eye could reach in an unending vista of sandy beach. Along this beach extended a thin line of scrub palms, the only vegetation visible upon the island. From the bluff toward the center of the island extended a series of low, dark red, morraine hills, absolutely destitute of plant life. “As I turned the corner of the bluff I came out upon the roof of a small cabin, built against the rock side of the plateau. Dropping off the roof I rounded the three sides looking for the door. Curiosity, which I will ever regret, impelled me to enter. “At first my eyes, unaccustomed to the inside light, could not identify the objects within. But as they grew used to the darkness, a feeling of horror and nausea passed over me, at the vision unfolded before my eyes. There —lying across a rude table, In the center of the room was—a skeieton-— and on the floor partially covered by 1C k. tvfv out. Pr S Tlf Jt. W kxT00 H. t� oo4s }or w 5 Cc 7nc fUy M tVi J8T1T. D, THE DART 34 a piece of rotten canvas, was another. “My first idea was to flee in fear from this scene of terror and death, but gradually my curiosity and natural calmness came back to me, and I started to examine the contents of the room. In one corner were some bunks and in the opposite, an old empty chest. The table appeared to be the main piece of furniture. Examining it closely I found the words, “Queen of the Orient” burnt upon it. “Lying beneath one of the arm bones of the skeleton, was an open book, bearing the inscription “Log Book, Captain Jansen, First Officer of Steamer Queen of the Orient.” Looking at the open page, I found a series of short entries, a sore of continued notations, of a sojourn on the island. They were as follows: Jan. 19, 1898. “Str. Queen of Orient sank off this island. Myself and Jim Stevens oniy survivors. We built our cabin out of the drift wood of the ship and lived on the few provisions tnat drifted ashore. Jan. 20, 1898. Today Jim left for the interior of the island on an exploration trip, and has not returned—God help him! Jan. 21, 1893. Jim had not returned yet, so today I started out in search of him and i found him, half buried in red silt with a fist full of gold nuggets and—stone dead. Jan. 22, 1898. This morning went in search of Jim’s Bonanza. On entering the hills in the center of the isle I struck a gorge, running perpendicular to the shore. I followed this until I came up to a little stream. Thirsty, I started to drink and then I saw for the first time the bed of the stream was of pure metallic gold. Suddenly I began to find it hard to breathe. It began to seem as though my lungs would burst. I could not speak, only a dry, whining whisper would come from my throat Then the thought struck me the water was----------” “Here the notes ended. Running out of the hut I called to my brother, and the rest of the party, and after much discussion we finally agreed to go inland the next day in search of the gold. Satisfied, we buried the skeletons and then after a hearty meal and a smoke, we turned in. “The next day dawned hot and sul- ' try. The red dust in the air was even more pronounced than on the ■ previous day. The prize horses, which ■ had been brought from Arabia, were to be used as pack-horses. Equipped j thus, we started into the foot-hills. About six in the afternoon we reached the gorge, after a terrible journey across the hot. sifting sand of the morraine hills. We had used our last drop of water an hour back and our throats were dry and parched. “As we pushed up the gorge, the others started to rush ahead, tneir lust for gold making veritable fiends j of them. I, having my hands full with j the animals, for they were getting restive, fell behind. Even my brother left me. The others had been out of sight about ten minutes when I began to hear the most weird, wailing, half suppressed screams, as of someone in the direst agony. Horror stricken, 1 stood there, my blood freezing in my , veins. The sounds came louder and louder and even more terrible. “Then suddenly my brother came running around the corner of an intervening rock, his hands tearing at his shirt collar as if to rip it from hi. throat. I pulled him to the earth and implored him to tell me what was the matter. All he did at first was to point up the gorge and gibber and THE DART 35 babble incoherently. Gradually he spoke clearly, and this is what I heard him say in jerky phrases, ‘Gold—lots of it—in stream—we drank—water —was—poisoned.’ Then as if the effort cost him his last bit of sanity, he suddenly became again a raving, babbling maniac. Without stopping, I turned and ran out into the night, which had suddenly become vividly illuminated by a monstrous volcano, a mile or so further away. I turned once in my flight and saw my brother fall in his death convulsions. Lying about him were my friends. “Never shall I forget that terrible picture, exposed there in that red glow. Finally after what seemed ages, I reached the lagoon and as best I could, I got the boat out into the ocean. “With the engines humming some of the horror and unreality of the scene disappeared, but not completely. So, with all the haste possible, I steered out to sea. “Then as I watched, it seemed that the red, glowing smudge of the volcano was sinking into the sea. At first I could not believe my eyes, but suddenly, as a huge tidal wave swept the boat upon its crest I knew the truth: the Isle of Death was sinking to the ocean floor.” “Here Carlton stopped and slowly rubbed a nervous hand across his brow as if to wipe away those horrible memories, while I sat there equally benumbed by the horrible narration. Suddenly Carlton got up, and with a last look at me, he departed and I have never seen him since.” FINIS. Fi Fi of 1 he Toy Shop “0 you wonderful doll!” Did you see them? They were alive, too. There were curley-locked china dolls, paper dolls in crisp, frilly crepe, and pale-faced clown dolls. There were lively jumping-jacks, active toy animals, living letter blocks that spelled, and just crowds of little fairies all in white. Then there was the loving pair, Loosey Rag Doll and Captain Barnacle, Inkspot, the black mischief-maker, dainty Bo-Peep, Laughing Doll Head, Prince Lollypop, faithful Tinheart, and Fi Fi, the frivolous French doll. Besides these there were Mr. Man-in-the-Moon, a witch, fairy Aurelia, (who came to earth for the evening,) the toy maker and his daughter, Bonnie. It was this last who fell asleep and had this wonderful dream in which all in the Toy Shop came to life. Miss Bohr, of the Rogers Producing Company, supervised this clever little play and proved a patient friend to all the struggling amateurs. G. A. C. G. A. C. is one of the most interesting clubs in our school. At the last party many girls became new members. They were mostly Freshies, too. Sportsmanship made itself very evident that evening and the initiates proved very entertaining. They sang, danced and even ate chocolate covered ivory soap for the old members. They enjoyed the chocolates, too. Harbor seconds and our seconds played a game of basketball and of course we won. Then everyone danced and really, the boys were not missed at all. Then came the “eats” and we were sorry to say, they were the only drawback of the evening. There were not enough to go around the second time. This club has grown every year, so that it is quite an organization now. It will keep on growing, too, because the members are all filled with pep, and what club will not grow with peppy members? THE JUNIOR CLASS THE DART 37 Junior Class History MARY ELIZABETH SMITH On September fourteenth, a hundred and thirty-five of us came honking up to A. H. S. in our Ford and stepped out into the entrancing atmosphere of juniorism. There weren’t quite as many as when we first entered high school for then there were about one hundred seventy. The class was organized in October. Ford Carlisle was re-elected president; Roger Landmesser, chosen vice president; Mary Elizabeth Smith, secretary; and Wayne Fredericks, treasurer. But at this time the world began to have evidence of the athletic abilities of this class. First there are A1 Guar-nieri, Captain of the Basketball team, Captain of the Baseball team, Captain of next year’s Football team, and Trackman (What man ever had a much longer train of degrees?) and Claire Johnson, whom Youngstown referred to as a regular yard engine in football. Then there are Kenneth Church, Roger Landmesser, Julius McElroy, Laurence Whitman, Frank Mitchell, Lewis Enquist and others. Eight of the above men helped to make up the best football team A. H. S. ever had. The reputation of this class in Athletics started in Fresh-mancy. Doris Mullen and Annetta Lang have been prominent in girls' athletics. The Class party was held in the gym the twenty-second of April and certainly if anybody ever had a good time it was at that. All seemed to enter into the spirit of the evening. Roger Landmesser is recovering from being henpecked. We are looking forward to the Junior-Senior to take place the twentieth of May. In scouting for wisdom and straightening out kinks And rounding out halos, and absorbing great thinks, Why! We Juniors are wild with the joy of such things, And dance whenever the school (?) bell rings. Math and hieroglyphics, we eat them like pie. It may sound reckless, but none of us die. We believe it essential to grow sweet and pink, So we sleep in sheets of theme paper and bathe daily in ink. To budget our incomes we just let time count, And worry and hustle and pay the amount. And oft in the moonlight with midnight oil We grease up the Lizzie and spin for a while. Our history is to us a vivid panorama of the best times classmates can know. We have sought out “the well springs of joy where the brooks come leaping.” We have followed “through the red bloomed heather and the golden gorse, the flute of the light foot elfin singers” and have sometimes opened our eyes to see “the sky break out in flower with angei’s faces.” THE SOPHOMORE CLASS THE DART 39 Sophomore Class History Ashtabula High School, May 1, 1921. Dear Ruth, I expect that you are waiting to hear all about this class which you were compelled to leave last year by your father’s change in position. Well, here goes for all I can tell you. That first day of our first High School year—will you ever forget it? 1 can remember only the confusion, airplanes, and the usual bustle to get schedules arranged and find classes. We didn’t organize that year, but many pupils proved apt in getting on the honor roll, glee club, and athletic teams. This year Dorothy Gallup, Ruth Swanson and Edith Trepess, old friends of yours, were on the basketball team that beat Harbor in its last game, after Harbor had won the banner. They did the same to us last year, so we just turned the tables on them, but there were none of our class on that team. Almost every member of the class has made the Glee Clubs, athletic teams, or has achieved honor through their studies in manual training, domestic science, or the art classes. In the recent exhibition, several Sophomore boys had the following: Davenport, tea carts, lamp-stands, etc., while the girls had garments or drawings. Even if the four Sophomore home room teachers, Miss Erk, Miss Hawley, Miss Crosby, and Miss Opdyke, have a “little” trouble to keep order, that only shows our pep. Speaking of pep, several of even the smallest Sophomores have become noted for their loud rooting at the games. I expect that they were even worse in their Freshman year. You ought to know about that. This year the officers are Edna Parker, president; John Wilsey, vice president; Robert Mcarthy, secretary and Dorothy Gallup, treasurer. The Junior-Sophomore fiag rush was begun this morning, when several gold flags, (Junior) were seen on the Junior High School and Library. Although the flags were taken down before noon, we of the Sophomore class paid strict attention to everything, so that if the custom is not altogether obsolete next year, we may conduct ourselves in not too ignorant a manner. I will tell you anything that I may have forgotten when you visit me this summer. Don’t forget that I am interested in what other schools, besides my own, are doing, and a letter will be greatly appreciated. (That sounds like a business letter.) So long for this time, E. R. P. P. S. Even if I do cut my letters to you a bit short (?) I don’t object to reading pages and pages written by other people! E. THE FRESHMAN ( LASS THE DART 41 The Freshman Class History ISABELLE A. KELLEY. ’24 The history of our class I’m expected to write, It’s a pretty big task for just one night, On September eighth we entered Hi School, Two hundred twenty of us as a rule. It was a thrilling moment and the day quite bright, As we marched up the walk to begin our fight. We were rather confused but all of one mind. For the first thing then was to find 29. The teachers were numerous, smiling and kind, But of our real dispositions they had yet much to find. The schedule like a checker-board looked, When we had our course chosen and booked. There was great confusion for almost a week, While we roamed about, our classes to seek. There is no doubt, we were awfully green, For in the wrong places we were generally seen. Besides our work I might mention, The football games took our attention. Of course this pastime was not all. For later on we had basketball. At shooting and rooting we did our share. Our efforts at this we did not spare. The Freshman girls won the inter-class game, So gained for themselves a great deal of fame. “Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop” made a big hit, For look who was in it, would you doubt it a bit? Inkspot, the clown, bridesmaids and dollies, All were out to rival the “Follies.” Almost every week in chapel we meet, There assembled, noted men to greet. Our young voices lustily make the hall ring, Much joy do we to the faculty bring. Before exams we studied quite late, Wondering what was to be our fate. Now, Behold! the finals draw near, But of these why need we have fear? For when we’ve studied and done our best, Why should we worry about a test? Except that Sophomores we hope to be. For this means much to us you see. THE FACULTY Upper row, left to right: Prin. Mitchell, Mr. Smith. Mr. Bloomfield, Mr. Meister, Supt. Dieterich, Mr. Hand, Mr. Thorpe.

The debate class enrolled thirty candidates. At the tryouts, two teams were selected which by dint of the earnest efforts of Miss Pansy M. Gabriel and Mr. Charles Bloomfield became efficient debaters. The 1920-21 teams contested for honors with Warren High School in a double debate, March 1st, on the question, Resolved: “That Immigration Into the United States Should be Further Restricted.” The affirmative team of A. H. S. composed of Gordon Burwell, Kathryn Loomis, Hazel Ford, and Clarence Kennedy, as alter- nate, debated at Warren, and although they worked hard, lost the decision. The negative team, however, debated against Warren’s affirmative at A. H. S. auditorium, and won the debate. The judge was Professor H. S. Woodward, head of the department of oratory at Western Reserve University. The members of the victorious team were Tillie Mohil-ewsky, Mary Louise Fawcett, Marion Mills and Arthur Spaeth as alternate. This team was well supported by a “peppy” student body, and many interested patrons of the school. On Wednesday evening April 13th, the members of the debating teams were guests at the annual athletic party. THE GIRLS GLEE CLUB One of the important organizations in which the Ashtabula High School takes much pride is the Girls’ Glee Club. Under the supervision of Miss Brown, the girls have done excellent work. Music has been furnished by the Glee Club on many occasions. They appeared on the pro-First Soprano Venus Dexter, Pres. Margaret Borden gram at the meeting of the Teacher of Northeastern Ohio, which was a the High School, April 8 and 9. The girls are now practicing songs for the Commencement and Baccalaureate exercises. The Glee Club consists of the following members. Georgia Cox Genevieve Ensell Dorothy Brainard Helen Castle Frances Cox Second Soprano Vera Emmons Ruth Hubbard Laura Palmer Helen St. John Hildur Olson Mary Elizabeth Smith Kathryn Morgan Eleanor Tilton Mildred Arvidson Alto Helen Guarnieri, Vice-Pres. Edna Parker Annette Hogan Kathryn Loomis, Sec’t Verna Townsend Juliette Dittenhaver Isabella Johnson, Librarian THE DART 45 THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB “Margie, I'm always thinking of you, Margie.” We know it, and we believe that all A. H. S. knows it as you have heard the famous selection on numerous occasions; but we do know some others. The Glee Club is composed of twenty-six members who make up the four parts according to the range of their voices. Take a look at the second basses, “And the lions roared.” We have had the privilege of singing at several of the Church Suppers where we enjoyed many good meals and good times. Everything now is “Bui Bui,” the comic operetta to be given by the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, under the direction of Miss Brown, our director. We hope and trust you folks will enjoy it as we believe it to be one of the best and funniest ever put on here. The officers of the Glee Club are as follows: President, Max Dowell. Vice President, Douglas Sweet. Secretary and Treasurer, Homer Blakeslee. 1 46 THE DART THE HIGH SC HOOL ORCHESTRA Miss Brown—Leader. Tillie Mohilewsky—Concert Meister.

This club was organized by Miss Sara E. Carpenter, and under her supervision has taken its stand among the other leading organizations of A. H. S. At the first meeting Miss Mary Louise Fawcett was elected president for the year, Duane Harmon, vice president, and Almeda Eastman, secretary. Principal M. S. Mitchell was vested with the power of treasurer. The president appointed the following committees to serve during the year: program, social and membership. A constitution was drawn up, and in accordance with same, meetings were held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month. At tne meetings throughout the year a study was made of the origin of the drama, reports were given on the life oi Sophocles, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Barrie, etc. Reviews were given of various dramas, and several one-act plays were successfully given during the year. The out-going members this year hope that when they visit A. H. S. in the future, the B. G. D. C. will be one of the “main features of the school. THE DART 49 HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club, although not entirely a high school organization, is made up of members of the upper classes of the school. The club activities embrace the social side as well as the moral and mental development of the members. Mr. Elliott, the boys’ secretary of the Y. M. C. A. officiated as leader and advisor, giving during the year, a series of short talks on various subjects of intense interest to the club members. At the banquet January twenty-sixth, the boys entertained the boys’ secretary of the state, Mr. Cartlich, who gave an address on the “Purpose of the Hi-Y Club and the Fulfillment of its Principles.” At the Lima Conference of Hi-Y Clubs Ashtabula was well represent- ed and the fellows reported a wonderful time. The boys going down from here were, Arvidson, Mills, Bur-well, Kennedy and Freed, who was the Harbor representative. The officers of the club are: Leroy Arvidson, president; Julius McElroy and Roger Landmesser, vice presidents; Gordon Burwell, who officiates as chaplain, and Duane Harmon, secretary of the treasury. As a fitting climax to a wonderful season the club is putting over its quota of the India fund, which is to provide for a boys’ secretary to be sent to India to work amongst East Indians. The amount necessary Is one hundred and fifty dollars and the boys are very optimistic about acquiring it. 50 THE DART SOCIETY NOTES Senior Party The annual Senior party was held on March third in the gymnasium of the High School. The evening was spent in dancing, the music being furnished by McKee’s orchestra. A serpentine dance was a pleasing feature of the evening. During intermission refreshments were served in the lunch room. About eighty Seniors attended, all of whom reported a most enjoyable time. Athletic and Debate Team Party One of the most successful, if not the most successful events of the school season was the Athletic and Debate Teams’ party. The members of the teams and their friends assembled in the Gymnasium April 13, at 7 :30. The chief mode of entertainment was dancing, music being furnished by Batalini’s orchestra. Punch, ice cream and wafers were served during the evening. This party was given by the Athletic Association to show their appreciation for what the teams have done to bring glory to the school. The teams in turn, wish to thank the Association for the good time given them. Senior Tea The Senior girls were the guests at a tea given at the Women’s Club by the members of the Ashtabula Branch of the Lake Erie Alumnae, Saturday, April 23rd. Miss Lovejoy, Dean of Lake Erie College, gave an interesting talk upon the advantages of the small colleg ! Miss Nancy Hubbard rendered sever al piano selections. About thirty wer present. The High School Picnic “C’mon, have another ride.” This from the Freshies, running wildly toward the merry-go-round, while they frantically devoured ice cream cone.' and cracker jack. Of course the Seniors acted sedately? ? The annual school picnic was held at Woodland Park at the close of school as a reward for being such good (?) children all year. The afternoon was spent in contests of every sort and in taking “hair-raising” ride.' on the roller coaster and merry-go-round. After a picnic supper, dancing was enjoyed in the pavilion until we were sent home to bed. By-the-way, Andy Burnham didn’t fall in tne lake this year. The Junior Party One of the most unique and mos; enjoyed of the social affairs given in the High Schol this year, was the annual party of the class of ’22. It was a barn dance and the gym was decorated for the occasion with festoons of hay and old fashioned lanterns. A pen of chickens from the Fredericks farm, lent an air of reality to the scene. Over a hundred were in attendance, the girls in gingham dresses and the boys in overalls. A pleasant feature of the party was the games which had been arranged for those not wishing to dance. THE DART 51 Dramatic Club Picnic Oh, Joy! Wouldn’t you like to belong to the Dramatic Club? This Club, which is under the supervision of Miss Carpenter, enjoyed a “weiner roast” at the lake, April 2( th. The members met at the high school about five o’clock, and went by auto. The attendance was good and all had an excellent time. Glee Club and Orchestra The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs and the High School Orchestra held a party in the school gymnasium, the first part of May. About seventy-five attended and the evening was spent in dancing, the music being furnished by McKee’s orchestra. Refreshments were served during intermission. The Junior-Senior The Junior-Senior is an annual pleasure. Very willingly do the Seniors accept the tribute of the under class and right gladly do the Juniors “Speed the parting,” that they may come into the honors and responsibilities of the last year. Well was the occasion observed on May 20th—gay decorations, abundant eats, splendid music, and a delightful time. Here’s a horseshoe for the going, a rabbit’s foot for the coming. Long live the Seniors! “A” English Party The senior English Classes in order to make the lessons required in argumentation more interesting, gave a series of debates. The classes were divided into two teams and at the end of the term the losing teams were to treat their opponents to a picnic. The event took place at Woodland Beach Park the latter part of May. A de-l'ghtful picnic supper was served and enjoyed by all. After sundown everybody strolled toward the dancing pavilion and danced until a late (?) hour. A “supergumscloptious” time was reported by all. PIPE DREAMS I’m worth a million dollars; I own a big estate; There is a maid who loves me And lets me linger late. I own a yacht folks envy; I am a prince today; I smoke a gold-capped meerschaum pipe And blow the smoke away. But I am only dreaming— Blow the smoke away; Dreams of idle fancy That never can allay. But still the smoke goes curling My dreaming head about, Building Spanish castles— And then my pipe goes out! THE DART GIRL’S BASKETBALL Top row, from left to right—Della Louis, R.

Dorotha Grover made the mo-points during the season, thoupr Doris Muliin follows a close second. The team loses three players thi year—Grover, Louis and Mack. THE FOOTBALL TEAM The team of 1920 will go down in Ashtabula football history as the greatest eleven ever to represent the school. This aggregation, under the tutorship of Coach Thorpe, not only annexed the county championship, but also they came through undefeated claimants of the state title. Some of the State’s best teams, including Shaw, Warren, Rayen and Youngstown South, were defeated by this eleven. The county teams were easily beaten, Harbor twice tasting defeat. In scoring, Ashtabula far outclassed her opponents, making a total of 376 points to her opponents 26. The major part of the credit for the season belongs to Coach Thorpe, who not only coached the boys but trained them as well, developing them into the State’s strongest team. The letter men are: Capt. Palmer, Krause, Eddy, McElroy, Mitchell, Kunz, Whittman, Johnson, R. Land-messer, Bottorf and Guarnieri, who is next year’s captain. The following is a summary of scores: Ashtabula 56, Geneva 0 Ashtabula 50, Conneaut 0. Ashtabula 96, Jefferson 6 Ashtabula 25, Warren 0 Ashtabula 32, Rayen 0 Ashtabula 21, Shaw 0 Ashtabula 21, Harbor 7 Ashtabula 28, Conneaut 6 Ashtabula 26, South 0 Ashtabula 21, Harbor 7 Total, Ashtabula 376, Opponents 26 54 THE DART The 1921 basketball team came through a fairly successful season considering the handicaps, such as the smallpox epidemic, and having to play two games a week to complete the schedule. Winning fifty per cent of the county games under such conditions deserves credit. The fellows played a hard, steady game but the breaks were against them. The team went stalest the first of the season because of having no games for over five weeks after they started practice, and then to top this, the boys had to be vaccinated, making a team of sore arms. Hut undaunted, the fellows went through the season and ended third in the county league. Continued on Page 58 56 THE DART Baseball With seven le.ter men back Ashtabula’s prospects for the ’21 baseball season are bright, and the team is out for the county title. In order to keep the team up to top notch the Coach has arranged for a series of games with town teams. In the first game with Jefferson our boys hit the pill for nine runs, while Jefferson only got four. The team fielded well and were exceptionally good at bat. Guarnieri pitched a fine game striking out 12. Taking this game for an example, things look good and the “banner” would seem an easy thing to get. The lineup through the season will be: Massucci, Catch; Guarnieri, Pitch; Johnson, 1st Base; Shauter and Church, 3rd Base; Lovejoy, Shortstop; Enquist, Left Field; Spaeth, Centerfield; Trautman and McElroy, Right Field. The last year’s letter men are Love-joy, Guarnieri, Trautman, Enquist, Johnson, Krause and Spaeth. Guarnieri is captain. The following is the season schedule : April 19—Ashtabula vs. Jefferson at Ashtabula. April 23—Ashtabula vs. G. R. I., at Austinburg. April 30—Ashtabula vs. Geneva, at Geneva. May 6—Ashtabula vs. Conneaut, at Ashtabula. May 13—Open. May 20—Ashtabula vs. Harbor at Harbor. Track With only one of last year’s letter men on the team this season, Ashtabula’s chances of making any showing in track would seem slim. However, Mr. Thorpe is very optimistic because of the large amount of good, raw material on hand. Captain E. Landmesser is the only letter man, and Guarnieri, who placed last year in the discus is out again. ! all, things are better than they migh be and the team will hold up tie school honor at Jefferson in the con: ty meet. A dual track meet with Harbor has been arranged and if dates can b-made to coincide we will have one with Academy Hi of Erie, who defea’ ed us last year. A Modern-------------? (Continued from Pn e Thirty-one) Grandma knew that her place was in the kitchen. It was a very awkward meeting. Neither boy nor girl kne what to say. At last he put his hand in his pocket, drew out the school paper and handed it to Maxine. “Isn’t that funny,” she exclaimed, when she had finished reading. “And we had the loveliest time, too,” and soon both boy and girl had forgotten their bashfulness and were busily engaged in conversation when Grandma came in with a plate of cookies. “Just like you used to do, Gran-ma,” the boy exclaimed, and after tasting one, “Umm, and they’re as good as ever.” It was getting dusk now and the boy got up to leave. He turned to Maxine and said, “Say Max - - • then paused to take a long breath. “The final school dance is a week from Wednesday. Will you go with me?” he ended quickly. “Ask Gran’ma if I can,” she answered, blushing. And “Gran’ma nodded “Yes.” Buster was very happy. As he went down street he whistled joyously. He reached in his hip pocket for his handkerchief. He felt something queer! He pulled it out. He had forgotten to give Maxine the slipper' “You scrupmtious thing,” he addressed it, “you will give me a perfectly good excuse to go back!” W’oodman, cut that tree, Spare not a single bough; I’ve carved a girl’s name on it, I love another now.
