When they’re looking for a President For the old Red, White and Blue They’ll likely find a graduate From the class of ’22. We’re going to scour the Planet, We’d like it nice and clean, So that when we gaze upon it Our reflection may be seen. We’ll have to work at this thing And be busy at that thing too. And make a splendid record For the class of ’22. We grieve to leave our teachers And all the friends we knew For all your kindness and your interest And your cheer we’re thanking you. If you miss us next September And don’t know what to do. Just make haste and call the universe Number 1922. (Etas Ihmw By DOROTHY FRENCH The school that demands “Use the best in your life,” Challenges “Live to be kindly and true.” The school that inspires “Be of service to men” Ashtabula High, ’tis you! “Ashtabula, dear old High!” May we never fail you. The students who’ve caught in the half century past, The spirit of purpose you give, Have learned to search out the true beauty and joy In the lives you have taught them to live. “Ashtabula, dear old High!” They have never failed you. And we of the Class of Twenty-and-two, Going, as they have gone, forth Will honor and love you, our own A. H. S. And merit your faith in our worth. “Ashtabula, dear old High!” We will never fail you! Mirrors of Class of ’22 FORD CARI.ISLK T IF'TY years ago Ashtabula High School came into existence and forty-nine classes have passed through its portals “out into the wide, wide world.” These classes have all been a credit to their Alma Mater. And though among their number have been many gifted students, fate has been working ks will to compose one class to be a proper climax to the half century. To the Class of ’22 comes the honor of celebrating this golden anniversary, and, with all due modesty we admit that we are fully able to do so. Are we not tne largest, the most studious, the most gifted and yet the most unassuming class which has appeared during these five decades? Indeed to chronicle such a class properly would require the skill of no less an historian than an H. G. Wells, but since the task has faller upon one of our number, we can simply mention in brief a few of our qualities and achievements. If no great brilliancy gleams througn this account, let it be remembered that we have purposely turned away the limelight from our attainments lest others be dazzled and discouraged by its glare. We are a class of p’.ienominal intellects, worthy to be called students of A. H. S. But our talents are not confined to this field alone. In football, basketball and track the class of ’22 is unequaled. When the teams are in need of captains, whom do they choose? Why, A1 Guarnieri and Kenneth Church, Lawrence Whitman and Doris Mullen, all members of '22. It was to Julius McElroy, one of our classmen that the county football championship title was awarded. Socially, ’22 is a lion. Our numerous parties have been the events of the seasons. When we entertained the class of ’21, not content with merely a dance, we spent weeks in preparing “The Court of Justice” for a side-liner. Somehow we always manage to decorate the gymnasium a little more elaborately than any other class. The Senior masquerade was one of the most artistically arranged affairs imaginable. Among our members are two, Genevieve Ensell and Helen Guarnieri, for whom a dazzling musical career is predicted. We also have many skilled in dramatics and oratory. With our departure from these halls of learning, we realize that we shall be sadly missed, that we will open a gap which may not be filled till fifty more years have passed away. And if that far off century class heaps as much credit upon A. H. S. as we have, if it even approaches the class ’22, we know that it will, like us, deserve the praise “Well Done” than which there is no greater. Page twenty-six In the Years to Come LOUISE LYNNE MARY Elizabeth Smith and 1 were walking down a little street in a certain small city in Ohio. We were passing a low building and both of us happened to notice a sign over the door which read “Crystal Gazing, fifty cents an hour” and just below was a second sign “More .than your money’s worth.” It was the lower sign which appealed to me; however we both decided to go in and .learn something about Crystal Gazing We were met by the gazer himself who was dressed like a Hindoo. He asked us to be seated about a large glass globe which rested upon a pedestal in a dimly lighted room. In a deep monotone he began to speak as he studied the globe intently, “I can see the members of the 1922 graduating class of Ashtabula High School engaged in their various occupations fifteen years from now. “There is a record of Caruso’s playing on a victrola. A man stands beside it, the victrola stops and the man finishes the song. The audience can not detect the difference. The man’s name is Palmer, Ross Palmer.” Pausing only long enough to pass his hand slowly over the crystal he resumed, “Here is Edward Dickinson with a job that keeps him going. He is chasing hop-toads, gathering up the hops for Fred Ducro and Lawrence Whitman who are in the home brew business.” This was getting interesting but I was rather dissapointed that it was not I gazing into the crystal. He seemed to notice this because he told me to come closer and look steadily into the glass globe, and then he asked me what I saw. I told him that what I seemed to see looked like six different suns setting. He smiled; it was the first time he had changed his expression. Then he gave his interpretation: You do not see correctly. I see Kenneth Church, Donald Babbitt, Jean Clark, Helen Harshaw, Elizabeth Johnson and Clarence Bailey going down an elevator in the Wool-worth building where they all have offices. A beautiful vegetable green house can be seen; it is run by Lewis Enquist, Herbert Young and Algot Anderson. Their motto is ‘Say it with Cauliflowers.’ I can see a brilliantly lighted sign in front of a theatre which reads, ‘Gordon Pritchard, Ben Turpin’s understudy will appear in ‘There is Magic in His Eyes.’ ’ Now a large crowd appears eating peanuts and drinking pink lemonade. It is at a circus and the crowd is watching breathlessly four girls who are hanging from the top of the tent by their teeth. If the clowns, Alfred Guarnieri and Farn-ham Hogue should empty out the contents of a pepper box causing Pnf r tu'cnly-scrcn the girls to sneeze, it would be the last we’d ever hear of Amber Hendricks, Mildred Johnson, Lilith Bales and Irene Johnson. “There is a rest-cure cottage. I see Gladys Ferguson and Jessie Gallup. It seems they have suffered a nervous breakdown for they have spent forty days and nights trying to figure out Paul Rigden’s theory of a fifth dimension which he adds to Einstein’s fourth. A court room scene is evident. Marian Ullman, the defendant is charged with permitting her caddy to appropriate golf balls belonging to other club members. Harold Hoyt, attorney for the defense, seems to be winning the case as they are using the pul-motor on Vincent Kellogg, Doris Mullin, Florence Wilson and Miriam Large, four members of the jury. While Dorothy Brainard, star witness for the defense is winning over the rest of the jury, (masculine of course.)” At this point Mary Elizabeth decided that she wanted to peer into the sphere and so of course she did. I imagined that what she saw must have been amusing because she laughed so much that she was unable to tell me what appeared, however the gazer continued: “William Matson is working in his sister’s bakery; he fits the rims around the holes in doughnuts. Harriet is becoming wealthy working on the principle that the whole should be greater than any of its parts. “In South Africa I can see a Missionary, Wesley Stokes, going on his rounds and near him are John Man-tell, Clyde Daugherty and John Pu-zinski who operate a diamond mine there. There seems to be quite a bit of rivalry between Geraldine Heater, Leroy Kibbee and Frances Page Hventy-cight Cox who are candidates for the office of caretaker of an old ladies’ home in Saybrook. Ford Carlisle conducts a correspondence school. He and Chester McBride are the authors of ‘How to go up in the World in Six Weeks.’ It keeps his associates Mary Elizabeth Smith and Annetta Lang busy traveling around to the Post Offices in different cities to supervise the music at the graduation exercises of the ‘Carlisle School.’ Four recent graudates were Jennie Van Akin, MayGouhin. Margaret Knowlton and Genevieve Ensell.” I looked over at Mary to see what she thought of her life work but she kept her eyes straight ahead on the crystal without even blinking. “Dorothea Eberle is a doctor, her latest patients are Alma Whitman and Sarah Seymour who, as they were going down some stone steps, slipped on their coats and broke an arm and collar bone, respectively. Three other regular patients of the doctor’s are Mildred Arvidson, Hazei Ford and Grace Benham, scientists, who take treatments after devouring the latest books. Edward Green is noted for his new discovery; he was able with his radio outfit to transmit a drink of water to Frank Mitchell and Wayne Frederick who were stranded on the Sahara desert. Frances Good is earning from $.05 to $100.00 per week posing for ‘Campbell’s Soup’ posters. “Dorothy French, Susan Davis and Lorieta Williams are lightning artists; however they paint woodwork during the winter since lightning is scarce at that time of year. Laura Buelow, Kathryn Morgan, and Ruth Hubbard have a secondhand clothing store in Hawaii. They are fabulously rich from the proceeds of the unique baskets which they have made from the tropical clothing. Julius McElroy, Gerald O’Brien and Charles Britcher are noted musicians. They play with a large rubber band in Cleveland. Bessie Anderson and Helen Guarnieri invented a very useful device— a sort of shield for the eyes of grape fruit epicures. Margaret Borden, Eleanor Tilton and Helen Friedel manufacture the shields.” Here the gazer burst into a loud laugh, the first real mirth he had registered. When I walked over to see what the joke was I saw a girl who looked very much like myself. She didn’t seem to be doing anything so I didn’t know just how to take it but deeded not to show any agitation. Probably he meant it all right so I told him to hurry on to the next vision. ‘‘A girl is sit.ing near a fire place embroidering and watching the clock. She seems to be a model home-maker and I get the name of Susan Ford. Her husband hasn’t arrived yet so I don’t know his name.” Mary and I exjhanged knowing glances. We could have enlightened the Gazer. He continued, “The Literary Digest is being edited by Juliette Dit-tenhaver, Hazel Woodworth and Dorolhy Compton. The poetry is contributed by Melita Seymour and Virginia Van Tassel. The joke department is written by Irene Askue and Florence Beaty. 1 see Lucy Tredent and Mary Wilenius in London interviewing diplomats for the ‘Personal Glimpses’ department. Anna Larson and Jeanette Humphrey write the clever topics in brief John Frabutt and Tony Guarino are the cartoonists. Ruth Ray, Freder ika Van Slyke and Anna Edixon have gone to China to give a series of French plays. Mildred Brown and Florence Rushton own a large Tapioca farm. Alice Norris and Gladwin Pilkington supervise a large force who grow the Tapie trees and Fannie Vetrano is the manufacturer of the Oca. Wallace Johnson and Harry Swift are firemen. It was their ambition from childhood. Roger Landmesser is a stern professor at Ohio State, so stern that I see he recently attempted to have Lilah Sprague suspended from the faculty force because he learned she had been a member of the Shifter’s organization in her youth. Herbert Weeks and Mary Richens are teachers there also, ins'ructors of Aesthetic Dancing and Penwomanship respectively. Rose Sheppard's—but it is four o’clock. The hour is up so I must stop.” He broke off abruptly after glancing at the tall clock ticking away in the corner of the room. We did want to know about Rose but we couldn't offer him any more money because we had spent all but fifty cents for Eskimo pies just before going into the Gazer’s. But a thought accidently crept into my head and I showed him my wrist watch which was several minutes slow as I knew it invariably would be since it was the same watch that always made me late to school. Anyway he gave my watch the benefit of the doubt and finished the sentence. ‘‘Rose Sheppard’s name is printed across the cover of a large dictionary. She is a writer, and it is the standard dictionary.” As Mary and I were leaving, we both agreed that the lower sign was perfectly true. Miss Moselle Erk Miss Moselle Erk came to Ashtabula High in September 1920. In connection with her Sophomore English work she was chosen associate supervisor of the Dart. Her efficient service in this position has resulted in a marked advancement for the school magazine. Through her initiative, departments have been added. At the same time the high literary standard has been maintained. Miss Erk has used her influence to make the Dart a representative publication of the best journalistic talent in all of the classes of the High School. The Dart can not pay for service rendered. However, members of the Staff in behalf of the High School, wish to epress their sincere apprecia tion and ex'.end their best wishes to Miss Erk for a happy future in her new home.

Miss Mary B. Case; for the best years of her life were spent as a student and a teacher in the High School of our city. Truly, her life stamped i self indelibly on the minds and hearts of her pupils and co-workers. They will never forget her. She was an ideal teacher always appealing to the best natures and finest sentiments of her pupils. No teacher ever treated the young people whom she taught writh more real respect. The teachers and pupils were her friends, and the friendships thus formed were characterized by a cordiality and a genial cheerfulness that had a most peculiar charm. Miss Case was endowed by nature with a fine spirit of optimism and a keen sense of humor. These splendid qualities brightened the way and made lighter the burdens of many students who came to her for guidance and assistance. She gave freely and abundantly of her splendid mind, teaching those fundamental truths and facts of history that today inspire her former students to strive for the best things in life. So personal and intense was her interest in the students that they knew her aim was to help them to lead lives of real usefulness. As we recall the splendid services rendered by Miss Case to the young people of our city may we all strive to attain unto the finest and noblest things of life. SUPT. H. C. DIETERICH ro LITERARY All Things Come to Those Who Wait RUTH C. HUBBARD AL ANN A Dolores was crying. There was no doubt about it. Not a few tears that required hard work to squeeze out, but tears that came in a seemingiy never-ending stream. “Oh! I don’t mean to cry like this, but I just can-n’t heip it,” she sobbed and the tears started afresh. “If I could only have one pretty dress I wouldn’t care! I don’t ca-care so very much ab-bout the old reception, anyway. I couldn’t go without an invitation, but I would li-like to look nice when I graduate,” and again the girlish form was shaken with sobs. For four years Alanna had looked forward to graduating from the conservatory of music where she was studying voice culture. The longed for time had come and she was to graduate with highest honors—but to graduate in her Junior Prom dress of last year—oh! it was hard. Dolores was beautiful. As she lay there on the bed where she had thrown herself to read her mother’s letter she seemed like a lovely flower. Her golden hair lay in a tangled mass and damp curls framed her face; her usually red lips were redder still from weeping and tears clung to her long dark lashes. She looked like a violet after the rain, refreshed but a trifle dewy. Presently she sat up. “Alanna Dolores, you baby! You read that let- Pafjc thirty-two ter now and don’t you dare to spill a tear,” thus speaking to herself sae smoothed out the letter. Her mother had written: Dearest daughter, Mother does feel sorry to dis-sapoint you, but I do not see how we can afford a new dress now. Since the dear Daddy died, things have been so hard. Can’t you make ti.e old white dress do? It really looks very fresh and dainty since I washed it Your kid slippers look like new, and I’ll send you new silk hose and white gloves, too.” A knock came at the door. Hastily wiping her eyes and dabbing her nose with her powder puff as she passed the dressing table, Alanna opened the door. It was only Rosalind Phillips who had stopped for her on the way down to the dining room, for the dinner gong had rung. “Just a minute, till I brush my hair!” she exclaimed, turning her back to hide the tell-tale traces of tears. But Rosalind was not to be fooled so easily. “You’ve been crying,” she said throwing her arms across Alanna’s shoulders: “Tell old Phil what’s the matter.” “It’s nothing,” she murmured and Rosalind, supposing it was about her father who had died only a few months previous, did not press hei further. It had been difficult enough to scrape the money together to send Alanna away to school while her father was alive. He had been a man, kind to his family, but of an artistic temperament and had met with little success in business. It was from her father that Alanna had inherited her own beautiful voice. For the next few days, Alanna was very miserable as the other girls were talking continually of their own new frocks. Not one of her gay companions guessed how heavy her heart really was. One afternoon to escape their girlish chatter she slipped out into the grove back of the conservatory. For a long time she roamed aimlessly about, watching the antics of the squirrels and listening to the songs of the birds. Stopping at length to rest, she sat down among the branches of a fallen tree and became absorbed in her own thoughts. Presently she was aroused from her reverie by hearing what sounded like the wailing of a baby. As it continued she finally left her leafy bower to find the source of the wails. When she neared the outer edge of the grove, she saw in the road, seated on the steps of a limousine a man awkardly holding a baby who was beating the air with its tiny fists. Here then was the source of the wailings. Alanna adored babies and impulsively started towards this one, but stopped short as she realized that possibly the man might be kidnapping the wriggling bundle. Deciding that he looked much too kind to be doing that, and drawn by the baby’s cries, she stepped forward. On hearing her footsteps, the man looked up rather embarrassed. He was of about fifty years of age and had the kindest smile imaginable. Rather surprised at her audacity, she found herself asking, “Can I help you?” With a sigh of relief, the man exclaimed, “Oh! if you only can!’’ Then as if in explanation of his strange predicament, the stranger said, “I’m just on my way back from the city. Since the death of the baby’s mother, six months ago, its grandmother has taken care of it. But she died last week. Since I am the baby’s uncle and only living relative, the care of the child has been left to me. The car has broken down and the chauffeur has gone to get help,” he finished lamely. “Poor little tike.” She took the wriggling mass in her arms but it still continued to cry. Presently the uncle walked away, being still rather embarrassed. Alanna started to croon but as if not willing to be out done the baby raised its voice. In desperation she started to sing a beautiful old lullaby she had heard her father sing so often. Little by little the baby became quiet. The uncle came back and hearing this beautiful voice stopped in amazement WTho was this beautiful creature with this sublime voice? The baby ceasing to cry, slept. Alanna made a bed of pillows and blankets on the seat and laid it carefully down. “I never can thank you enough for this. But young lady what is your r ame and where did you get such a voice,” said the man coming around to where she stood by the car. “My name is Alanna Dolores, and I am a student at the conservatory, Sir, I must be going.” “Wait!” he thundered, “Are you Francis Dolores’ daughter, my old schoolmate?” “That was my father’s name. Sure- Page thirty-three ly you’re not Howard Scott of whom he talked so much?” “I certainly am. Might have knowi. you were his daughter. That voice, that profile. Bless me! How is he?” “My father died last Xmas.” He heard the tears in her voice. An awkward silence ensued. Then she stooped and picked up her hat where she had dropped it. “You say you’re a student at the Conservatory. Do you intend to go on studying? That voice of yours is worthy of the best teachers in Europe.” ‘‘I should like to go on studying but I’ve had my chance now. I graduate in June. Poor daddy. I’m afraid he’d be disappointed in me. Now I must go or I’ll be late to dinner.” ‘‘I can’t offer to take you to the school, but I do ask you to come to dinner with we tomorrow night. Now don’t wake any excuses tor I’ll arrange it with the dean. My chauffeur will come for you at six o’clock. Now, good-bye!” In a daze she walked back across the campus. The girls wondered at her silence all through dinner. The next day the dean called Alan-na to her and told her that Mr. Scott had her permission to have Alanna as a guest at his home. When she told the girls where she was going, they insisted on ‘‘fixing her all up.” Rosalind being about the same height argued Alanna into wearing her black velvet dinner gown, another a black satin cape, and the rest acordingly. Yet they did it in a manner that did not offend. She offered many protests but when she found herself seated, at six-thirty, across the table from the son of Mr. Scott, she was glad she had let the girls have their way. Dinner being over the son excused himself. Mr. Scott seemed to want to talk of her father. Little by little he Page tliirty-fonr drew her out until she had told him of her hopes and ambitions, her sorrows, her joys, yes, even of the fact that she couldn’t have a new dress for graduation. Then realizing how much she had told, she became panic stricken. To divert her mind, he told her of his experiences that first day with the baby. Presently he turned the channels of conversation to the fact that he wanted to go to Europe that summer but would have to find a desirable companion for the baby. Could she think of any such person. Then as if the idea had just struck him, ‘‘Couldn’t you go as the baby’s governess? Then you could study your music also. I want to do it for the sake of your father.” Alanna, quite overcome, burst into happy tears. She had never even admitted to herself how much she wanted to study abroad and now her chance had come. Thus it was that after several letters had passed between her mother and Mr. Scott, it was arranged that they should go abroad for a year. But it was Mrs. Dolores that was to go as the governess. The weeks before graduation became a paradise. Alanna never once thought of clothes until one day a large box was brought to her room with a card bearing these words: A Graduation Present from Mr. Scott. And what was in that box? A beautiful white dress with yards and yards of lace and tucks, new slippers, hose and gloves. Then as the girls described it, ‘‘a perfect duck” of a jade green dress with a floppy black hat. Also in that day’s mail came an invitation from Howard Scott, Junior to the Junior-Senior Reception. Thus we leave her as we found her on the bed weeping, but oh! such happy tears. Poor Fish DOROTHY FRENCH IT was a- warm balmy day, too won- derful a day to spend in school thought Roger as he gazed dreamily out of the window in 36. The afternoon sun smiled down on him and made him drowsy. Oh, what a day to go fishing!---- He must have caught a whale from the way his line pulled. Carefully he hauled the line in, inch by inch, when suddenly a fish larger than any he had ever seen leaped into the air and glaring savagely at him, began to speak. “So!” he said, “you’re the human being who has been killing my subjects and robbing them of theii beautiful scales. Most horrible shall be your punishment.” The King of Coral Depths siezed Roger by the feet and pulled him into the pool. Down, down they went until the terrified boy could scarcely breathe. Then to his surprise, his breath came easily, but he began to struggle; but to no avail. They finally reached the portals of a large pink-columned palace and Roger was handed over to two stalwart sword fish. He was led down a long passage to the throne room where his captor sat in state. The court was thronged with beautiful mermaids and merknights mounted on prancing sea horses. The prisoner stood between his two guards shaking with fright. A sober dog fish came forw'ard and in solemn tones addressed Roger. “Prisoner, you have been charged with the most terrible crime in Corai Depths; that of scaling and eating our kinsmen. What have you to say for yourself?” Roger tried to answer but his voice stuck in his throat and he could only shake. King Flounder gave a command in an undertone to the judge w'ho turned to Roger and said, “You are deemed guilty. Therefore at the order of the most royal king you are condemned to a life of rescaling the fish you have killed and eaten.” “Oh, papa!” the silvery voice came from the most beautiful of the mermaids w'ho had been watching Roger closely. “Don’t be so cruel!” She swam gracefully up to the throne, her body shimmering with rainbow tints in the soft light. Roger was sure he had never seen so gorgeous a creature in his life. “Let me have him for a slave to polish my jewels.” The king, w'ho could refuse his beautiful daughter nothing, gave his consent. Roger w’as led through passages of shells and coral until they came to an apartment exquisitely colored in shades of lavender and decorated with pink sea shells. He w'as chained to a fluted column with a string of pearls; then his guards swam away leaving him too dazed to think. Soon musical voices wrere heard and the Princess entered with her charm ing attendants. She dismissed then, w'hen she saw Roger and approaching him spoke in her sad bell-like voice. “I, too, was an earth being once, but I was drow'ned and the king brought me to life and made me his daughter. Page thirty-fire There is only one way to return to earth, a very dangerous one, but if you wish to try, I will aid you all I can.” Roger leaned forward and said, “Tell me how!” So she went on. “You must go into the land of the sea dragons and bring back a large black pearl from the throne of the king of them all. I will take you as far as the castle, but remember, if you are caught, you will surely die.” Roger would have gone through any number of more dangerous adventures in order to get back home and said so. The Princess unchained him and they slipped out of the castle by a back passage. After swimming several hours through strange fores.s of seaweed and still stranger animal kingdoms, they came to the entrance of a forbidding pile of stone. There she stopped and whispered softly, “This is the castle. Goodbye, and good luck!” Roger seized her hands. “I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me. Please come back to earth with me.” “Ah, that is impossible,” she murmured. “I shall always be a mermaid, never aging or dying. Besides—but never mind.” Breaking off suddenly, she turned and swam away. Roger stood watching until her glittering form vanished, then screwing up his courage he stepped inside the gloomy portal. His feet encountered nothing and he felt himself falling, falling— “Roger, if you can’t keep your seat, I can’t let you sleep this period,” came faintly to his ears, and he found himself sitting on the floor beside his seat; while the pupils around him were roaring with laughter. THE SENIOR PLAY THE Class of 1922 was fortunate in securing for presentation a very attractive play. Jean Webster’s ‘ Daddy Long Legs” is almost universally known. For the past three years the Senior plays have been staged under the ef ficient supervision of Miss Orphal, a member of the faculty. Again she has demonstrated that she is a capable director. It was evident that great care had been exercised in the selection of members of the cast. Each student interpreted the character assigned to him unusually well. The play struck thirteen o’clock. The cast was as follows: Jervis Pendleton.................. (Daddy Long Legs). Ford Carlisle James McBride............Harold Hoyt Page thirty-six Cyrus Wykoff..............Fred Ducro Abner Parson.........Julius McElroy Griggs...............Edward Green Walter.........................Edward Dickinson Judy Abbott..........Genevieve Ensel! Miss Pritchard.........Eleanoi Tilton Mrs. Pendleton........Helen Guarnieri Julia Pendleton..........Susan Ford Sallie McBride....Mildred Arvidson Mrs. Semple.......Dorothy Compton Maid...........Juliette Dittenhaver Carrie............Dorothea Eberle Mrs. Lippett............Louise Lynne Orphans at the John Grier Home Sadie Kate...........Ruth Hubbard Loretta..............Lucy Tredent Gladiola..........Jennie Van Akin Mamie................Laura Buelow Freddie Perkins................ ...Kieran McGarry (Freshman) THE FACULTY Standing, left to right—Mr. Dieterich.

ALUMNI LETTERS ALTHOUGH the Ashtabula Public Schools were established in the year 1856 the honor of holding the first real Commencement and the first veritable “Sheepskins” belongs to the class of 1872, a class of five—one boy and four girls. The important event occurred on the evening of June seventh at Smith’s Opera House which was crowded beyond its capacity in spite of a pouring rain. The program, following the usual opening exercises, consisted of one oration, four essays, the valedictory, a short address to the clasa by the Rev. Dr. MacGiffert,—that happy speaker who had ever the right word for the right place,—and the presentation of the diplomas which bore the signatures of Prof. I. M. Clemens “Supt. of Instruction”, Miss B. N. Boynton “Principal of the High School”, Mr. George W. Dickinson “Secretary of the Board of Education” —whose artistic skill as penman and engraver is shown in the names on the parchments,—and that of the President of the Board of Education, Mr. L. M. Crosby, whose name brings pleasant memories to all who knew him. The singing of the class song, written by one of the members, closed an evening most happily remembered by —One of the Five. THE CLASS OF ’93 I have been asked to write a few reminiscenses of the Class of ’93. I am not going to do that for a number of reasons. Unless one is an Edward Bok, a Jacob Riis or a Theodore Roosevelt reminiscenses are valueless. As far as I am concerned any reminiscen ses of mine woud not only be without value but also devoid of interest. Therefore, if I may be permitted, 1 prefer to address myself to the Class of ’22 along another line. It is necessary for one to have been out of America for a time to the better appreciate our advantages. The government of China confiscated the estate of one of the leaders of the Boxer Uprising and builded there on Tsing Hua College with the indemnity money returned to them bv the U. S. Students are drawn each year from all of the provinces by competitive examination to study and prepare themselves for study in America. In the Philippine Islands every year, young men and women of high educational standing are selected to come as pensinados at government expense to study in America. In so many of the shops in Tokio, Yokahama, Kobe, Osaka and other cities in Japan the clerk will lay down a book to wait upon you . Inquiry reveals the fact that he is not doing casual reading— he is studying English and that he hopes to be able sometime to study in America. That which these young people obtain as a favor or boon after hard work is yours as a right to which you are born. Furthermore, if America is the garden spot of the world, the Western Reserve is the garden spot of America, settled as it was by good old New England stock. Yours has been j Page thirty-eight and is a choice privilege—live up to it. In the ciays to come let it be said in reference to you in all truth to this community “Tnis and that man was born and educated there.” It may seem a small matter where a man is born or educated but every man has the power to live so that it will be a large matter to the community. May you members of the Class of ’22, and those who follow, so live. —L. O. Richmond. THE CLASS OF 79 Here’s to the Class of 1879. The greatest class that ever graduated from the Ashtabula High School, (in numbers up to that time, and in then-own esteem). We were fourteen in number, ten girls and four boys. Two of the girls and three of the boys have gone hence. Our class motto was, ‘‘Education is the Gate to Success.” We thought we had the education, and only needed to life the latch, and step out of the gate onto the road to success. So far as I know, no member of this class has become great, near great, or had greatness thrust upon them. How proud we were when we received our diplomas in Smith’s Opera House, at that time, the only Auditorium we had. We certainly thought we ‘‘knew it all.” I have noticed that many High School graduates are afflicted the same way, but are soon cured, especially those that go to college, where the conceit is taken out of them. Edison has said, ‘‘to obtain an education you must observe, remember and compare.” When we observe the present magnificent High School building, and remember ‘‘The Old Academy” with its rickety winding stairs to the third floor, where the High School was then held, and com- pare the instruction we received, with that, the young women and men of to-day receive, we cannot help but envy them, and feel that they will ac-complisn great things from the splendid foundation they have laid for their life’s work. Our class song was written by Supt. Waite, and I never hear “Columbia the Gem of the Ocean” sung or played but the first verse of our song, whicn was sung to that tune, runs through my head: As the Sun hastens dowrn at its setting. And fades through the twilight away. So our school life, has fled, quite forgetting, That we its departure would stay. We have met, but we can not dissever The pleasures that here entertwine, They will live in our memories forever, To bind us to love ’79. —W. S. King, M. D. THE CLASS OF ’97 Dear Liitle Old Class of ’97 with your eighteen graduates: We were proud of such a large class in those days, in the old Division Street building. There were just twice as many girls as boys in the class, and after schooldays, all of the boys left their home town to seek their fortunes elsewhere. Max Morton, Winthrop Watrous and Loyd Taylor are still in the Far West. Frank Sherwood is in St. Louis; George Fields and Edward Gilchrist in Cleveland. The girls were not so adventurous and most of them married and settled dowfn in the place where they had received their schooling. Ruth Humph rey-Metcalf, Edna Brown-Lesser and Mary Palmer have gone on that Long Journey from which there is no returning. We never knew the joy of being (Coniimted to page fifty-five) Pai r thirty-nine ■ ' ■ I � x X THE JUNIOR CLASS Junior Class History DOROTHY GREEN WE Juniors fully appreciate the excellent intentions of our school heads when they secure an “educational film” for us. Undoubtedly they act in good faith, and our disappoint ment grieves them sorely. However, we wish to make a suggestion—why not show us a film of our class activities? The educational value of such a film is not to be doubted. Only think what inspiration a sight like the following would provide our underclassmen ! Our pictures, first as we appeared in ’19, then as we are in ’22, just to show that there is chance for improvement in even the best of Freshmen classes. The class officers of our second year: Edna Parker, President; John Wilsey, Vice President; Robert McCarthy, Secretary; Dorothy Gallup. Treasurer. A scene from that really clever take-off on Macbeth which members of our English classes wrote and produced during “Good English Week.” Some very good work has been done in the English Department, notably the prize essay on ‘“Life Insurance,” written in an inter-class contest, by William Hill. A view of the art room where John Wilsey produced the first-prize poster in a contest open to all students. J. W. makes most of our Dart cover designs, you know. Sketches of the cedar chest and chaise lounge made by Clayton Kit-tenger and Ernest Reublin. A flash showing Harry Wilder at work on the school radio. Dorothy Gallup, Josephine Tyler, and Ruth Swanson, regulars on the girls’ varsity team in basketball; 2nd row: Dorothy Capstack, Grace Hartnell, Edith Trepess and Frances Bent-ly, substitutes. Snaps of Clare Johnson and Ledru Lovejoy on the football squad. Ledru Lovejoy again, in baseball suit. “Primrose Standish” and “James Brewster”—in school life our own Dorothy Luce and Lyle Bishop—as they appeared in “Springtime.” The year’s preliminary gayety, the Junior party on April 28th. The real social event, a reception for the elite of the class of ’22. A close-up of our President, Robert McCarthy (if he should arrive in time). A group cut of our lesser dignitaries: Allen Post, Vice President; Lyle Bishop, Secretary; Dorothy Green, Treasurer. Special features— Nelson Hague, our man of business, who is usually to be found in the office advising the Principal or some of the Faculty. Bob Mullen, our class joke. He edits our “funny column” in the Dart. (See Robert elsewhere with Allen Post, Nelson Hague and John Wilsey, Junior members of the Dart staff.) The Junior members of the Glee Clubs and School Orchestra would gladly supplement the film with music. Certainly such a program would present a diversion at once instructive and entertaining. W'hy not try it? Page forty-one mn THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Sophomore Class History ISABELLE A. KELLEY We are the Sophomores of A. H. S.f Studious(?), courteous, ambitious as the best, Two hundred twenty entered last year, Now one hundred ninety names appear. Our Sophomore teachers we greatly admire. Much inspiration from them we acquire, They set the example, we follow the lead, They furnish incentive, we believe in their creed. But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So our study with athletics we did alloy, Massuci, Inman and Gianelli in football played well. The strongest of opponents before them fell. Max A kens, our classmate deserves great praise, For many a score she helped to raise, While other Sophomores were subs on the team, Aspiring for honors next year, it would seem. We put the Freshmen “right up a tree,” In the initiation of the G. A. C., For pep and lots of it, we have it galore, For mirth and revelry, we keep them in store. Wherever the Glee Clubs have sung this year, Their efforts were met with a great cheer, In the many honors the Glee Clubs receive, The Class of ’24 has a share, we believe. Of course there were the everlasting exams, Then Spring vacation as relief from the crams, The last term of the year is always the best, For then come dances, picnics and the rest. On the fourth of April we held our election, Joe Knox for President was our selection, As Vice President was chosen no other than “Doc,” Then Ensell and “Mac” in whom we take stock. At the Sophomore party all had a fine time, And voted the evening simply sublime, The High School picnic was an event of the year. Of a pleasanter one I have yet to hear. And now from our very lofty height, We view the Freshies in their plight, Our Sophomore year now comes to an end. As Juniors to be our way we wend. Page forty-three THE FRESHMEN GIRLS THE FRESHMEN BOYS Freshman Class History LAWRENCE ROBI8HAW N September 7, 1921, two hund-red raw recruits enlisted in the Great Army of Education. We were assigned to Company D of the A. H. S. Training Camp. The camp was in charge of General Dieterich, Major Mitchell and a score of assistants These military beings admitted that they had never seen so promising an array of young citizens. At the very first, we were looked down upon by the more experienced soldiers, but later when the other companies discovered our true worth, they learned to respect and not to ridicule their new mess-mates. At first the newcomers had trouble in learning what was expected of them, but under the guidance of Captains, Miss Orphal, Miss Anderegg and Miss Day, our daily routines commonly called schedules were adjusted. It was found that the “29 barracks was not large enough and so some were transferred to the “7 barracks under the leadership of Captain, Miss Phares. We were given leave-of-absence for one-half day on September 29, thanks to the Fall Festival, two days at Thanksgiving time and ten days with which to celebrate Christmas and New Years. It is needless to say that we came back from each of these vacations determined to drill harder than before. At the end of eighteen weeks, inspections or examinations were held. Some received black marks but most of us went through with colors flying. On January 16, 1922, Twenty-six new recruits were enrolled in Company D. This made the total number of Company D, two hundred twenty-five. These new members encountered the same difficulties that the original members of the Company had encountered in September. On state occasions we were permitted to meet with Companes A. B and C. At some times, we were treated to fine musical selections; at other times, we heard inspiring speeches given by our General, Major or some other noted person. The four Companies of the A. H. S. Training Camp were granted leave-of-absence from March 24 to April 3, to celebrate the coming of Spring. Of course, all used the time to good advantage. Company D has not taken as active a part in the Camp activities as the other Companies but has been fully as active as the rest of the regiments were the first year they entered the A. H. S. Training Camp, but in the future years we will do our part in each department of the Camp. We hope to see every member of Company D back in September, promoted to Company C of this splendid Educational Training Camp. Page forty-six MUSIC DEPARTMENT GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB One of the most successful departments of the Ashtabula High School is the Girls’ Glee Club. This Club has done some excellent work under the leadership and supervision of Ruth Evelyn Brown. The Club consists of thirty-five members selected from all four classes. The Officers of this Club are: President, Helen Guarnieri; Vice President, Juliette Dittenhaver; Secretary, Loreita Williams; Accompanist, Juliette Dittenhaver. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club, one oi the musical organizations of the school is composed of members of all four classes. Miss Brown, the director, deserves much credit for the success of the Club in the past two years. Julietta Dittenhaver has been the accompanist. From this Club, one of the best voices from each part has been chosen to compose the “Sterling Quartet.’’ Both the Quartet and Club have been popular. The Officers are: President, Julius McElroy; Vice President, Ford Carlisle; Secretary and Librarian, Ross Palmer. THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra was not organized until late this year. It made its first appearance at the pep meet for the Glee Club Concert. It is evident that it did its part in convincing the students that they shouldn’t miss the concert at which the orchestra made its first public appearance. Page forty-right GLEE CLUB CONCERT ' A concert was held in the High School auditorium Friday evening. May 5, by the Bovs’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs. Choruses were sung by both Clubs. A comedy sketch was given by members of both clubs, and duets, trios and also quartet numbers were sung by different members of the two organizations. This concert was one of the most successful musical events of the year. The High School Orchestra gave several splendid numbers which were well received. COMMENCEMENT AND BACCALAUREATE The music for the Commencement and Baccalaureate exercises which was furnished by the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs is deserving of mention. The Clubs worked hard to make these events very successful. Dot—“What are you stopping the car for?” Mary E.—“The road book says to turn North and follow the trolley and now we’ll have to wait until one comes along.” D. S.—“How many cigarettes does Satchel smoke a day?” D. K. B.—“Oh, any given number.” F. H. (at piano recital)—“What is that charming thing she is playing?” F. M.—“It’s a piano y’ dub.” THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Ethel Atkinson Pauline Breslin Frances Cox Mina Loeb FIRST SOPRANO Margaret Borden Mildred Brown Genevieve Ensell Abby McCarthy Loreita Williams Dorothy Brainard Autumn Cheney Amber Hendricks Eleanor Tilton Anna Brock Georgia Cox Sarah Michonie SECOND SOPRANO Laura Buelow Catherine Landon Kathryn Morgan Helen Castle Helen McCready Marian Wright Jessie Gallup Laura Palmer FIRST ALTO Ruth Hubbard Ruth Rinehart Doris Spencer Isabelle Kelley Mary Elizabeth Smith Dorothy Compton Leola Smith SECOND ALTO Nettie Bartone Marjorie Strong Helen Guarnieri Helen Shellhammer Pape forty-nine THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Douglas Sweet Robert McCarthy George Simmons FIRST TENOR Ross Palmer Clare Johnston John Frabutt Gerald O’Brien Robert McKinnie Andrew Sodergren SECOND TENOR Algot Anderson Ford Carlisle Walter Pearson Charles Scoville Henry Lind berg Marshall Joe Knox Theodore Mills Sweet Lyle Bishop Frank Mitchell Kimball Wheeler FIRST BASS Clarence Haleen Theodore Whiting Edward Dickinson Harold Hoyt Alfred Guarnieri Jay Didonato SECOND BASS Alvar Anderson Carl Gillquist Tony Guarino William Matson Roy Skinner Lawrence Whitman Clarence Bailey Julius McElroy Page fifty THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA First Violin Mina Loeb Gerald O’Brien Andrew Sodergren Second Violin Sara-Ellen Burroughs Maynard Inman William Rose Violon-cello Lorene Crockett Flute Tony Quaranta Clarinet Tony Masters Cornet Lawrence Whitman French Horn Richard Paren Saxaphone Ford Carlisle Baritone Clarence Haleen Drums Warren Knox Piano Laura Palmer Leader Miss Brown Page fifty-one THE BLACK AND GOLD DRAMATIC CLUB Standing, left to right—Robert Mullen.

The ideal of this Club is to “Create, maintain and extend a higher standard of Christian character.” With this end in view, the local Club has enthusiastically carried on its work, much to the benefit of this school and community. At weekly meetings, problems are discussed, dealing largely with moral improvements. A delegation of several members of the Club attended the Conference at Dayton. The Ashtabula Hi-Y loyally suported an India Fund subscription conducted at this conference. From time to time the Club has given social entertainments which have proven a success. Membership is confined to the two uper classes of High School. The following men were members this year: Julius McElroy, President; Wayne Frederick, Vice President; Lewis En-quist, Secretary and Treasurer; Ed Green, Leroy Kibbee, Vincent Kellogg, Farnham Hogue, Roger Land-messer, Clyde Daugherty, Clarence Bailey, Robert McCarthy, Gordon Pritchard, Tom Shiya, Charles Sco-ville, Richard Langell, William Hill, Kimball Wheeler, Theodore Whiting, Theodore Mills, John Wilsey, Willard Morrow, and Comander-in-Chief, A. D. Elliott. Page fifty-three SOCIETY NOTES ATHLETIC PARTY The members of the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams and football team held their annual party in the gymnasium. About forty couples were present. The time was spent in dancing. The gym was decorated in a unique way by unknown artists. SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomores had a “kid” party in the gymnasium May 4. Everyone became ten years younger for the evening. Batalini’s Orchestra furnished delightful music during the evening. Half the time was spent in dancing and the other half in eating. ALUMNI BANQUET The Alumni party is to be bigger and better than usual as this is the fiftieth anniversary of the Commencement. After the dinner there will be an excellent program which will be followed by dancing. JUNIOR PARTY The Juniors held their class party April twenty-eighth in the gymnasium. Dancing, games and a play thoroughly filled the evening for the thirty-five couples present. DART STAFF BANQUET The members of the Dart Staff finished their work for the year with a banquet. After the dinner, a short program was given and the rest of the evening was devoted to a social time. Page fifty-four SENIOR PARTY The masquerade given by the Seniors proved a great success. Uncle Sam, French dolls, Spanish dancers and Scotch lassies were only a few of the characters represented. The music furnished by the Hotel Orchest-tra was all that could be desired. The decorations were of a new type and very effective. The punch was exceptionally fine although it is reported that Ed Green spent several hours looking for losi articles which he accidentaly dropped in. OHIO STATE DANCE After the entertainment given by the boys of the Ohio State Glee Club, a dance was given in the gymnasium for the “State” members and High School students. The Gypsy Sex.et, composed of members of the Glee Club furnished the music. The dance proved to be very popular and continued until twelve o’clock. JUNIOR—SENIOR The Junior-Senior reception was again one of the pleasant social functions of the school year. Apparently nothing was omitted that might have added to the enjoyment of the evening. The Seniors were happy in receiving and the Juniors happy in giving the last class tribute that speeds the parting of the one class and brings the other into its place. THE ROYAL SOCIETY There meets every afternoon in the ante-room of Mr. Mitchell’s office the Royal Society of mud slingers. The object is to pass gracious compliments from one to the other. Ed Ward G. Reen is our young mascot. He is rapidly becoming expert in the art. DRAMATIC CLUB Seniors and Juniors to the number of about thirty, who compose the Dramatic Club, foregathered at the Lake for a picnic lunch. The Thespians were bent on having a good time and as usual they got-what they wen after. THE UKE CLUB At the first of the year, six girls of the Junior and Senior classes formed a Uke Club. They have proved themselves to be clever entertainers at various social functions throughout the year. They have played at the hotel for luncheons and dinners, at churches and at the Tourist Club. (Mr. Mitchell said, after we had played at school, that “Once was enough!”) DINNER FOR MISS WARMINGTON May seventeenth, the faculty held a dinner party at Hotel Ashtabula in honor of Miss Emma Warmington who is retiring after a long period of faithful service in our High Schools. It would be difficult to estimate the number of friends which Miss Warmington has made during her school work. The dinner party was an expression of good fellowship, and the high esteem in which she is held. It would be impossible to fully express appreciation for all that Miss Warmington has done for the High School. Her service merits the highest commendation. GLEE CLUB PARTY The entertainment given by the High School Glee Clubs Friday night. May fifth, was followed by a Club “hop.” A splendid time was reported by all present. Alumni Letters (Continued from page thirty-nine) called Freshmen, that year we spent as Miss Warmington’s pupils, downstairs, where, you may be sure, we received excellent training. The next three years we were allowed up-stairs and were really “Highs.” Miss McVey was principal that first year and taught Latin and Greek. She went East the next year and Professor Ull-man, who taught Mathematics and Science was principal, and a very good one. Mrs. Morton was our much beloved English teacher. Professor Lowe was Superintendent of the Schools. We had a class organization and held picnics and parties but our school life was not so full of such various things. Domestic Science and Manual training weren’t even thought of then, as part of the High School course. We had no school magazine. We had a Junior Commencement which was almost as impressive as our final one. Both were held in the auditorium of the old City Hall. Each and every one of the eighteen graduates delivered orations on that momentuous occasion, June 9th, 1897. We congratulate you, Class of 1922 on your wonderful opportunities and on your achievement in having made the most of them. We cannot help thinking however, that Life ahead looks no brighter, probably, than it did to us, twenty-five years ago. —Edith Cowdery Goddard. Page fifty-five SCHOOL ACTIVITIES THE BLACK AND GOLD DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club this year has been a great success and under Miss Carpenter’s directorship two very successful plays “Hilda Horner” and “Spreading the News” were produced. The officers of the Club this year are: Dorothy French, President; Julius McElroy, Vice President; Gladys Ferguson, Secretary; and Mr. Mitchell still pays the bills. There being a number of vacancies in the Club, several new members were initiated into the organization and the party was declared an allround success. SPRINGTIME We grant that Dorothy Brainard “could be happy with one little boy” but we think she’d be happier “if there were some others around.” This is the impression we got from her part in Springtime, a comedy in three acts. This was staged in the High School Auditorium under the personal direction of Miss Mary Richter of the John Rogers Producing Company. The story of the play deals with the romance of an 1868 aristocrat and the daughter of James Brewster of the Pill Company. It was said to be the most successful one of its kind ever given in the High School. The cast numbered over two hundred and fifty. Costuming was very carefully and gorgeously worked out to present scenes seventy years ago. Another feature of the program was a number of period dances (including the Taxi two-step of 1922). Three packed houses on February 15, 16 and 17 are convincing of the merit of the production. GYM EXHIBITION The Annual Gymnasium Exhibition was held in the high school gym, May 18. There were over two hundred-fifty who took part. Under Miss Perry’s directorship, the program was most successful. The program follows: March and Run Marching Tactics Free Gymnastics Indian Club Drill Group of Folk Dances Dumb Bell Drill Irish Lilt Apparatus Work Wand Drill Dance: Moment Musical Relay Races. O’BRIEN’S ORCHESTRA Gerald O’Brien’s Orchestra, which has played at many school parties, i fast becoming one of the most popular organizations about the school. This orchestra, which consists of six pieces was organized last year. It is made up entirely of students. Patjc fifty-seven GIRLS’ ATHLETIC CLUB To encourage athletics in A. H. S. Every girl in the high school should do her best. At tennis, at walking, or a horse back ride. You may gain your points with very much pride, And into the G. A. C. you may go And swell our numbers to one hundred or so. Girls that are strong, upright and true May enjoy themselves all the way through. No matter what may be the test. You will always find us at our best. The G. A. C., what is it? It’s a club; one of which every girl in the high school should want and try to become a member. It’s an athletic club organized to promote out-of-door ac tivities. All prospective members are forced to lead a rather strenuous outdoor life in order to gain the necessary points for entrance. Points are won by gym work, hiking, bicycle and horseback riding. The G. A. C. has gained in numbers steadily for the past six years. Much enthusiasm has been evident during this year and we feel sure that the G. A. C. has a bright future for 1923.

A strong team was developed under the coaching of Miss Perry this year. We lose but two girls next season; Doris Mullin, forward and Annetta Lang, guard. The hopes of a championship team next season seem most favorable. Page fifty-nine GIRLS’ TENNIS TOURNAMENT 1st row, left to right: Margaret Mc-Garry, Edith Trepess, Florence Andrews, Miss Perry. 2nd row: Margaret Weeks, Dorothy Gallup, Josephine Tyler, Frances Bentley, Louise Lynne, Margaret Shack, Annetta Lang. 3rd row: Leola Smith, Lillian Eken- sten, Ruth Madden, Mary Cross, Clarice Kellogg, Marjorie Hill. The G. A. C. under the direction of Miss Perry conducted a tennis tournament this year. It is the first time anything of its kind has been attempted in the high school. It was received with enthusiasm and proved very successful. There were twenty entries. Page sixty THE BOYS’ FOOTBALL TEAM Coach McBride certainly showed his ability in the season of 1921. Under his direction the A. H. S. football team had a very successful year. The season was opened by a victory for A. H. S. over Geneva. We were not discouraged by two defeats by Cleveland teams for we whitewashed Jefferson to the tune of 75 to 0. Two scoreless ties were played in the season; one with South High of Youngstown and one with Harbor. The team played a clean game throughout the season and the men are to be commended for the way in which they observed the training rules. A1 Guarnieri was a credit to the school in his position as Captain. The letter men for 1921 are as follows: Inman, Church, Guarnieri, En quist. Whitman, C. Johnson, Gianelli, McElroy, Mitchell, Landmesser, Love-joy and Frabutt. Page sixty-one THE BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM This year’s basketball team had a fairly successful season, winning six of ten games played. The team defeated Geneva twice and defeated Harbor on her own floor. This is a feat which no other county team accomplished. A. H. S. had a pair of splendid guards as is shown by the scores. Our forwards were excellent shots and it was no easy task for Conneaut to win the Championship. The five man defense was used a great deal with splendid success. The team got into a rut and could not get out. We lost two games and then kept on losing, and soon it was too late to redeem ourselves. Although three of the first string men are graduating this year, the prospects of a good team next year Page sixty-two are bright. There is some splendid material in the second team. The letter men are: Guarnieri, Church, Enquist, Pilkington and Os-trom. BASEBALL Ashtabula High with six letter men back bids fair to win the County Ban r.er this year. In our first game with G. R. I., our inability to hit in the pinches cost us a defeat. Nevertheless, one defeat only served to spur us on We won the next game by a ninth-inning rally and hope to win the remain ing three contests. Inability to hit has been our weakness, but that is constantly being overcome as time and practice increases.
