Presidenl Hoard of Kducalion To supervise the school system is the purpose of the Board of Education. It is comparable to the board of directors of a bank or a business corporation. It selects a superintendent just as the board of directors appoints a president or manager. Board members are elected every two years for a term of four years. Three are chosen at one election and at the following election two more are named. Mr. M. G. Beck is president of the board; Miss Viola B. Deuress, vice president, and .Mrs. C. E. Beck, clerk. The board has seven committees which conduct investigations in the different branches of work. The committees are finance, heating, grounds, buildings, furniture, sanitation, books, and incidentals. Meetings are held in the office of the superintendent of the high school on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month. Beside the business which is discussed. reports are given by the superintendent, clerk, and superintendent of buildings and committees. A sum amounting to more than four hundred thousand dollars is handled each year. Nine MR. PAUL E. HENNING Teacher of Chemistry, Physics and Botany A. B.. Ohio Wesleyan University; Miami University.

KNOW ALL MKN BY THESE PRESENTS: That w the members of the graduating class of Ashtabula high school, of tlie year nineteen hundred and thirty, being of unsound and indisposed mind and memory, do hereby devise and bequeath, in the presence of these witnesses, the following articles and objects to the following persons and institutions: To the Junior class we leave our senior parties, with the beautiful decorations and the watery punch. We leave them our choice seats in the auditorium and our home room. We leave to the Juniors the debt of senior dues, with the hope that they will he able to meet this obligation sooner than we were. We leave them the memory of weighty and profound students who once honored these stately halls. To the Sophomores and Freshmen we leave our memory to he revered. To the faculty we leave the memory of brilliant recitations and inspiring essays. We are sorry to leave the faculty with less profound students, but as most of us have been here for several years we feel that it is quit? time for us U depart. To Miss Helen Orphal we leave the memory of our chubby freshman faces and our funny freshman ways. To Mr. C. J. W. Luttrell and Mr. M. S. Mitchell, the memory of our green, scared, first efforts in facing the assembly. To “Mike.” the janitor, we leave the wads of second hand chewing gum under the desks. We also leave him any and all scraps of paper, notes and otherwise, which we may have left behind. We leave him the dust fallen from our “feet of clay.” To the home economics instructors we leave all burned cakes and cookies, and a quantity of dirty dishes. To Mr. Paul Henning we leave the memory of fingers seared by acids, and of our reaction toward hydrogen sulfide. To the mathematics instructors we leave the unknown quantity. We have never been able to find it. but they seem to have the impression that it is lurking somewhere near. To the coaches we leave the pleasant memory of our great diligence in the gymnasium. And now we are about to bequeath something which we have earned the right of claiming through many years of patient endurance. To Miss Ruth Carlisle we leave Cecil’s giggle, to l� e given by her to the best candidate. Also we leave Anna’s brilliant work In the classroom to the next valedictorian. To all our successors we leave the hope that they will carry on our ideals and our work. And finally, the residue of our effects, both real and imaginary, we leave to our Alma Mater as a testimony of our loyalty and devotion. Witness our signature and seal, at Ashtabula, Ohio, this sixth day of June in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty. The Class of 1930. Witnesses: The Faculty. The Students, The Books. Senior Class History We, the class of nineteen-thirty, are entered in the history of Ashtabula high school as the last class to be graduated from that school after having passed the four-year course. The school has changed to the three-year system, having the freshman year in the junior year. This does not bother us, for though the teachers have not stated outright that this is the smartest of all classes, we realize that the '30 class surpasses all the others. In the fall of nineteen twenty-six, when we first entered this school, we were enthralled at the great distinction of having, at last, been enrolled in the high school. This event having been greatly anticipated for years, we entered every club that was open to freshmen. The band’s enrollment was increased by ten of us. These were Arthur Williams, Marie St. John, Charles Tilton. Cecil Bartholomew, Robert Mac-Farland, Radford Withercll, Robert Good. Hugh Payne, Eugene Whiting and David Fettman. The orchestra claimed Elinor Connelly. Charles McCamey, Mabelle Burlingame, Violet Shea. David Fettman and Marie St. John. Thirty were entered in the boys’ and girls’ choruses. We ended the first year of our high school career by placing ten on the semester honor roll. These were Sadie Colucci, Betty Ross, Janet Laird, Anna Shields, Charles Tilton, Eleanor Wolfe, Gertrude Balia, Alice Erbcr, Marie St. John and Lucille Piatt. Louis Vettel in our second year made a name for himself on the football field. This same year Constance McCarthy had the leading part in the school play. Elinor Connelly, Edith Jussila and Madaline Massucci were placed on the varsity and second team in girls’ basketball with Tiani Seppola and Constance McCarthy as managers. Two hundred and fifteen entered school the following year as the junior class. For the first time we elected officers naming George May, president; Elinor Connelly, treasurer; I� uis Vettel. vice president; and Eleanor Wolfe, secretary. Four juniors were honored by election to the National Honor Society. Those chosen were Betty Gross, Marie St. John, Ruth Kurtz and Charles Tilton. Fourteen juniors held offices in the various clubs during the two semesters. In the Hobby Association during the first semester, nine held offices in the various departments. Six held offices in the second semester. Near the end of the year the Junior class entertained the Senior class at the annual Junior-Senior party at West junior high. To begin our last and most important year we held the election for the Senior officers and named Anthony Serieno, president; Marie St. John, vice president; Dorothy Ives, secretary; and i ouis Vettel, treasurer. Howard Baughman. Robert Root, Leonard Jallie, Anthony Serieno, Matthew Kangas, George May, Louis Vettel and Joseph Rich were on the football squad with Robert McDaniels and Wallace Bollman as managers. Leonard Schossler, Louis Vettel. George May, Harold Brown, and Howard Baughman played on the varsity basketball team. Eleven new members were chosen for the Honor Society. These were Betty McKay, Sadie Colucci, Helen Larson, Ellen Thompson, Edna Olson, Constance McCarthy, Dorothy lyes, Janet Laird, Edith Jussila, Esther Juhola and Eleanor Wolfe. The Quill and Scroll honor society for high school journalists retained five of our class who were elected as juniors. Namely, Dorothy Johnson, Dorothy Ives, Ruth Forty-one Kurtz, Charles Tilton and Betty Gross. I .ate in our Senior year the following Seniors were elected: Virginia Brown, Esther Juhola, Eleanor Wolfe, Constance McCarthy, Anna Shields, Richard Willing, Mabel King. Sadie Coluccl, Christine Cushnvr. Janet Laird, Mary Lynch, Ellen Thompson, Eugene Whiting and Edith Jussila. In the musical organizations, thirteen seniors play in the band and seven in the orchestra. Charles McCamey is the Concert Meister in the orchestra. Twenty senior girls are in the Ashtabula high school glee club and ten boys- are in the Boys glee club. Instead of the annual Christmas party we had a Valentine party. This was held in the high school gym which was attractively decorated in red hearts of all sizes. The school play had six seniors taking leading parts. Constance McCarthy had the leading girl’s part and the minor lends were taken by Ruth Kurtz, Elinor Connelly, William Cook. Cecil Bartholomew, and Frank Temple. Our Commencement speaker will probably tell us as he has other classes that we’re the United States of tomorrow and it depends solely on us what tomorrow’s United States is. That, needless to say we already realize, and are hoping that we will live up to everyone’s idea of successful citizenship. Senior Class Song By Melvin M. Silvicus Farewell old A. H. S., Our hearts with tenderness Look back on days gone by In our Bula High. Days come and days may go, Sorrows we’ll meet we know. Though we part, there’ll be love In our hearts For A. H. S. School mates we'll leave behind And all our teachers kind When we have said goodbye To our Bula High. In days when hearts may yearn. Our thoughts will oft return Back through maze, to those beloved days At A. H. S.

Are there any other activities you would like to mention that they are in?” In the school play the sophomores were well represented in the choruses, and Neal Lusk had an important part in the cast of the main characters. “We had many of them as members in the various clubs, such as. the Hobby Club, Spanish Club. Kronikon Club. French Club, Hi-Y, Girls’ Athletic Club, Girl Reserves. Dramatic Club and Latin Club. “Early this spring, these same sophomores gave their program in assembly. Vern Bowman was chairman and announced the numbers. “In a bookkeeping contest held recently at Palnesville two sophomores, Bernlece Capps and Billy Stinchcomb placed first and second respectively.” The Ccnsus-tuker strolled over to the window and looked down at the class which was just disbanding. He folded up his blanks and thanked Mr. Luttreli for the information he had received and remarked as lie left that this certainly was a class that would make itself known in the world. Suddenly the door-knob turned and he thrust his head through the opening. “I’ll be back in ten years and find out how many of them are successful citizens,” he said.

Foreign Correspondents “Jane, I’ve just received a letter. It bears a foreign post mark. Oh what a thrill! Wonder what he looks like?” The envelope Is torn open and our heroine reads; I am nineteen years old. six feet tall, have black hair and brown eyes. I’m preparing myself to enter Saint Cyr, a military school. How's that for a romantic letter? Manv other interesting (perhaps a little more educational! things were revealed from letters received by students of senior French and Spanish classes. Most of the letters were written in English and partly in the foreign language. In some cases it proved rather difficult to translate some expressions, though in general the composition was very similar to that taught in our high school. One of our famous seniors sent an issue of the “Dart” to a student in France. In replv was the following: Ashtabula High School MCST be one of the FINEST schools in the United States to have such an excellent student publication. (That ought to brine a quarter.! The nani's of these correspondents were secured bv writing to the English instructor In a bovs’ school in Toulouse who gladly sent the names of a number of his students. The nunBs took considerable Interest in the work and a great deal of knowledge was gained not only of the language but also of the home life of the French people. It is honed that tho students will continue this correspondence as the letters received have proved very interesting and educational. Eighty-five Senior Plav % “Along Came Ruth,” by Holma Day, a three-act comedy drama presented Tuesday, June 3, in the city high school auditorium, revealed dramatic art of the Class of 1930. I. P. Howard’s “Furniture Emporium,” in Oldport, Maine, is in a, very precarious state, due to Israel’s old-fashioned methods of doing business. Along comes Ruth Ambrose who has been recently graduated; from normal school, but who is in need of immediate employment. Israel gives her a position in the store and through her progressive and artistic ideas the business becomes more prosperous and the store becomes a huge success. Tribulations overtake Ruth but in the end she triumphs and wins the love of the proprietor’s man, Allen. The play is filled with delightful and authentic New England characters and the “Down East” atmosphere is faithfully pictured. Under the direction of Miss Helen Orphal the following cast presented the play.

In the 1928 season his charges captured the last S. A. A. A. C. football banner and were runnersup for the basketball and track trophies in the new Ltke Shore League. This year he has led his squads to championships in football and basketball. GEORGE MAY To show their appreciation for the invaluable playing he rendered this year, the 1930 basketball squad elected George May as honorary captain. George has proven to be one of the most popular athletes in Ashtabula high school because of his athletic abilities, personality and scholarship. May began his career as varsity forward in his freshman year. The next year he added another letter to his credit when he played varsity quarterback in football. In the 1929 track season George earned his third letter, this time as a javelin thrower. He is noted for his earnest attitude and his willingness to train intensively. CAPTAIN MADELINE MASSUCCI Madeline Massuccl, left forward on the girls' varsity basketball squad, was elected honorary captain of the team for 1929-30.

Led by the hackfield triumvirate, composed of Rich. Vettel and May. the Black and Gold squad scored 2S7 points against 14 by their opponents. After receiving the only blot on an otherwise perfect season, a 14 to 0 defeat in their first game at the Brie Academy bowl. Coach Julius McKlroy’s charges developed great offensive and defensive power and completed their schedule without being scored on. Central high of Erie was the first victim of Ashtabula’s rejuvenated squad and suffered a 20 to 0 defeat at Hula field. Conneaut at Conneaut the following week proved to be easy and Ashtabula came back with a 2S to 0 victory. Fairport high, runner-up to Ashtabula for the Lake Shore League championship, received its only league defeat by the overwhelming score of 53 to 0 at Bula field. The lake visitors were routed by the battering line plunging of the City high backs. Willoughby was smothered. 20 to 0, a week later at Bula field. The Black and Ninety-two Gold forwards broke up Painesville’s powerful running attack and Ashtabula was undisputed leader in the Lake Shore League by a 27 to 0 victory at Painesville. Coach McElroy took Ills football warriors to Harbor’s field and there they attained a point of perfection to hand the Purple and Gold a handsome 63 to 0 lacing. Ashtabula's stalwart forward wall played its best game and overpowered Harbor on every play. “I uie” Vettel. later elected honorary captain for the season, scored 33 of Ashtabula’s 53 points. Ashtabula’s reserves got their chance when (loach McElroy benched his first string and his second team defeated Geneva, 46 to 0. at Hula field to clinch the Lake Shore League championship.

A review of the season shows a league championship besides five victories and five defeats in non-league games. Statistics show that A. H. S. scored 458 points while opponents scored .'173. Three of the defeats suffered during the season were at the hands of Erie teams; two being lost to Academy and one to East. Perhaps the greatest victory was in the PaineBvIUe game which was won by a 50-29 score. By starting the season with a defeat, the Ashtabula quintet lost the confidence of a good many fans. The score of this game was 31-11 and was won by Erie East. The next week the boys stepped into their stride and beat Andover. 58-11. Continuing on their path to victory, the team left Youngstown East. Harbor, and Conneaut as defeated teams by the wayside with scores amounting to 24-15. 25-19 and 27-25, respectively. With high hopes the local l oys invaded Erie to renew old hostilities with Academy but were repulsed with a 85-24 score. After their setback the team managed to defeat the scrappy Fairport five, 16-14, in an overtime period, Xiles fell with the small end of a 46-18 score and so with more confidence the team continued by subduing opponents sir- Ninty-four as follows: Willoughby, 29-13; Youngstown Chaney, 36-21: Palnesvllle, 50-19; Geneva. 33-21. The next game came as a hard blow because Ashtabula journeyed to Rayen with the intention of handing Rayen one of Sts first defeats from A. H. S. but was sadly trounced. 50-16. The most exciting game of the season was the next on the calendar. This game was the one played in the Harbor gym, Feb. 28. The boys rose to a glorious climax and came out of the fray with a 19-11 triumph on their string. But the next game came out differently as the home team lost again to Erie Academy and was eliminated in the second round of the North Eastern Ohio tournament by Lakewood. George May was accorded the highest honor his teammates could give him when he was elected honorary captain. George was appointed acting captain of every game by Coach Julius R. McElroy and was the high point man on the team this season. The five highest scorers on the team are as follows: May—103: Baughman—S6; Vettel SI; Seaman—60 10 games); Bernardo—59. • Cheer Leaders This year there has been an extra volume of cheering done by the student body at athletic meets. This is due largely to the untiring work of the cheer leaders, Ia o Noble and Tyler Carlisle. I eo and Tyler are both juniors and had experience last year at leading cheers. They meet with the hearty approval of the student body not only as cheer leaders but as students and all-around good fellows. Another person who has contributed a great deal towards better school spirit is Constance McCarthy. Constance was appointed song leader this year, which was the first year that a girl has been on the pep squad. Her work has been widely appreciated by the student body and she will leave a vacancy that will be hard to fill next year. (iirls’ Physical Kri neat ion Starting with the fall semester the Physical Education classes under the supervision of Miss Helen Delhi, athletic instructor, began their work with Wednesday lectures. In these lectures the principles of football and basketball were explained by the instructor. The football lectures pertained to the general plan of the field and specific points of the game. In the basketball lectures, both the girls’ and boys’ games were discussed. The boys having different rules in some respects and less players in a game than the girls. From Thanksgiving time, formal work and games were used. This was the beginning of preparation for the exhibition which was held on Wednesday. May 14. The lecture periods until the spring vacation were occupied with the discusson of elementary anatomy. This was the study of the human machine, the body. From time to time short quizzes were given covering these lectures. Also the basketball theory which was discussed In the lectures was applied in the regular gym classes which met on Tuesdays. Thursdays or Fridays of each week. The last few weeks of the school year were devoted to baseball and track in which any girl of the high school could participate. Ninety-five GIRLS' BASKETBALL.

Ashtabula girls met the powerful team from the North and were de- Ninety-six feated by the score of 47 to 19. .Margaret Hatrack, who was high scorer, is to lie honored for her splendid work in this game. January 16. The girls met with the girls from Orwell and again were defeated. The score was 13 to 17. January 31. The girls again were defeated by the powerful Harbor team. This time the girls outplayed the Harbor in the first half, but the Harbor lassies came back in the last half and won the game. The score was 16 to 24. Massucci was high scorer. February.

In the final game of the season the Ashtabula girls were defeated at Warren by a score of 32 to 16. Massucci was high scorer. Outstanding Athletes Joseph Rich Joseph Rich is one of the important reasons for our successful football season. Ho began his career while a freshman and earned his letter playing end where he remained for three seasons, though at times he played tackle. Hast year Coach Mc-Klroy decided that Joe would perform better in the backfield and he became our biggest threat in a halfback position. Andrew Mruzik Andrew Mruzik. as scrappy a player as ever roamed a Black ami Gold gridiron, has tilled the center position on the varsity football eleven for three years very effectively. Ho was the important key of our offense and defense and helped to open gaping holes in the opponents line for the City high backs to gallop through. He also is known on the track as a crack quarter-miler. Peter Bernardo Peter Bernardo is taken for granted as our great athlete. On the football field ho has earned two letters playing tackle. He has seen two years on the basketball court as a letterman. He stars at center and his ability to get the tipoff aided the Black and Gold greatly in last season’s flag race. To top off a glorious record of achievements, he tosses the weights and runs in the sprints on the track team. Nick Colucci Nick Colucci is a track man who possesses great possibilities. He won a gold medal in the mile event at the Lake Shore League track meet last year and a silver medal in the half mile. Joe Seaman Joe Seaman’s rise to fame was one of the sensational features of the last basketball season. He won for himself the name. “Mr. Concentrated Dynamite.” through his “never say can’t” attitude and his brilliant floor work. As Seaman is a junior this year, the fans can look forward to more of this beautiful work in the future. Howard Baughman For the past year and a half Howard Baughman has occupied a conspicuous place in Ashtabula athletics. He completed his second basketball season this year in a guard position. Last fall he played football at end for the league champions and was considered one of the best at his position in the league. Ninety-seven Raymond Harley Raymond Chick” Harley is another boy whose rise to fame has been rapid. Daring the last football season he was a halfback on the varsity squad and is expected to be the punter and dynamo of the offense next year. His basketball abilities were plainly evident in all the games in which he played. Ernest Scott Ernest Scott was another star to arise from the West and although he lias not disturbed the headlines, he won his letter in football and played reserve basketball impressively. He plays an aggressive game at tackle and there is much expected of him next year. Donald Rowley Donald Rowley bids well for a permanent halfback position next year. He became prominent last season for his ability to perform at a critical moment. He is a great broken-field runner and a hard tackier, thus all-in-all a good defensive back. l‘)2S) Track Summary Painesville high’s track team edged out Ashtabula’s team in the final event to win the first Igtke Shore League track and field championship, Friday afternoon.

Ninety-eight Within the Curriculum English Much unusual work has been done in the English classes of Ashtabula high school this year. In .Miss Winifred Fay’s Junior English class, the students have been rewriting “Launcelot and Elaine” as a movie scenario. Lida Haven and (Jordon Tracy handed in the best work. Miss Jenny Givens in order to add interest in her classes has had her pupils read any play they wished and revise it in any fashion desired, and if they are dissatisfied with an act or scene they may substitute one of their own. They also wrote essays while studying the essay. A mock trial was one of the main features of the outside work in Miss Laurella Sander’s Sophomore class. The students also prepared a notebook on etiquette. Miss Sanders requires each pupil to read one short story a week and then give a report of the story. While studying Robin Hood the pupils drew castles, shields, and dressed dolls in the medieval costumes. They also made a notebook on the life of Shakepeare. Miss Margaret Howard’s classes wrote essays on the “Ten Famous Men in Ashtabula County,” for competition in the I). A. It. contest. Mr. G. G. Starr’s 11B English classes prepared anthologies containing fifty favorite poems and their comment on each one. These revealed their taste and ability to judge poetry. In the English Literature class Mr. Starr assigned parts to certain pupils to read in an impersonation of the various parts in “She Stoops to Conquer.” by Oliver Goldsmith. The Journalism class entered the national Quill and Scroll contest for newswriting. Willard Hill received second place in the Eastern district. In the latter part to the second semester the class had five weeks of practice with the Dart staff in pieparation for next semester’s work. They are also judging the exchange newspapers in regard to make-up, composition, news, and editorial. Miss Stratton’s classes had debates to help inspire interest. They used the following subjects: “Should Capital Punishment be Abolished?”; Is the Yitaphone a Handicap to Producers?”; “Should Girls Wear a Uniform Dress While at School?”; “Should a Five Day Working Week lie Adopted?” They also keep a class magazine culled “The Spotlight.” This is made up of their themes and original poems. Public Speaking “To improve and make better our speech” is the purpose of the public speaking class taught by Miss Margaret Howard. Miss Howard has had two public speaking classes this year, one the first semester and one the second semester. One of the commonest phases of work for these classes was to find material on certain subjects from current magazines and books and learn to present it in a clear and concise manner. Debating teams were formed and some very interesting debates were heard throughout their period of work. The debates were on such subjects as “Child Labor” and “Workman’s Five Day Week Plan.” The pupils took great interest in this line of work. Also throughout the year each member of the two classes had to give short speecli- Nlnety-nine es in the various home rooms, which speeches formed a phase of advertising for different club dances, selling of the “Dart” and “Dart Yearbook.” football games and outside programs given for the benefit of the school students. The pupils were taught to write up notes on their speeches and arrange them in such a way that they would be able to use them to advantage in giving their speech. These classes were found to be very Interesting to the pupils as they went on, ami several pupils have found that the training which they received in these classes proved to be very helpful 10 them in recitation. Science Classes PHYSICS Testing the efficiency of electrical appliances to determine the cost of operating each, offered an interesting study to the pupils of the physics classes. Many experiments also were performed to lest and discover the resonance, vibrations ami pitch of sounds. Electric stoves cost about five cents per burner to operate while an electric-fan of medium size would run 10 to 15 hours for one cent. Health lamps averaged about two hours for one cent and the average light bulb uses electricity worth one cent in four hours. Electric percolators were found to be 85 per cent efficient and would make five cups of coffee for one cent. This appliance was estimated to be three or four times more efficient than the average automobile motor. George Oleen, a student of Mr. E. B. Pendleton's physic class, build a power transformer to use in electric welding and to operate six volt motor direct from the city current. The input of the transformer Is 150 volts and 3.3 amperes and the output was six volts and 60 amperes. This, in welding, would melt a ten penny nail as if it were butter. CHEMISTRY Testing pop, which is sold at all refreshment stands, proved Interesting to the chemistry classes. Pop contains aniline dye and amounts of the ingredients are formulated by the government chemists. A woolen cloth was placed in a sample of the pop and heated, when cool the cloth was found to be dyed the color of the pop. The pop also contained fruit flavors which are usually artificial and prepared by the chemist from some other source. The carbon dioxide contained In pop gives the biting taste. Some drinks contain caffein which acts as a stimulant. The chemistry classes also made the annual trip to the water works. BIOLOGY In biology the class studied frog blood, human blood, frog skin and structure. The human eye and gills of fish were seen under the microscope by the students who also studied the embryo chick and conducted an interesting study of artificial digestion. The members used pepsin, rennin, and panctvation for the digestive fluids. BOTANY Experiments with bacteria were performed by the botany class. In one experiment the pupils placed some hay in a beaker of water and placed the beaker in an incubator for 24 hours. Then they took some bacteria from the hay infusion and examined them under a microscope. For further study a few of the bacteria were grown on an agar medium in an incubator which maintained a temperature equal to that of the normal body. The aged bacteria were then given further study under the microscope and their technical name was bacillus suhtilis. In the study of bacteria It was estimated that there are 1,000 different kinds helpful to man as opposed to 40 kinds that are harmful. One hundred Social Sciences Besides the regular routine of the history, civics and sociology courses, the pupils carried on many other interesting projects in class during the past year. HISTORY In Miss Winifred Fay’s Ancient History classes there was organized and written, a Greek newspaper. Various pupils held the different positions as if on a regular paper. This paper had all the sections that a modern newspaper has. It had a society page, and athletic page, a cartoon and comic section, an advertising section and front page. A contest was held between the classes to determine the best paper. In this same class a Roman Senate was carried on for one day. The students were elected by the members of the class and it was conducted entirely by them. Also in these classes many kinds of Greek arts were on display, the pupils drew and carved the different objects. Another feature in the course was a cross word puzzle. These the students made and worked themselves. Besides these features, oral reports were given by the students on the subjects concerning their course. Notebooks were kept by the members of the Ancient History classes, and semester themes were written by them. Current events given once a week was a feature in tlie Modern and American History classes. Along with this, map work was carried on by the members. Special reports such as biographies of famous people were written and given orally. Several subjects related to the text were debated during the year by members of these classes. Book reports were another outside feature. The .Modern History book is divided into seven different books. The first book is entitled, “Introductory Review of Eighteenth Century”; the second, The Conditions and Reforms in the Eighteenth Century”; the third, The French Revolution and Napoleon”: the fourth. “From the Congress of Vienna to the Franco-Russian War”; the fifth. Reforms in Europe before the World War”; the sixth. “Merging of European History into World History”; and the seventh, “The Twenteeth Century and the World War.” The American history book is divided into seven different units. The first is called. The Establishment of the English”; the second, Separation of the Colonies from England”: the thlr, “The New Republic”; the fourth. “National versus Sectional Interest”; the fifth, “Slavery and the West”; the sixth. “Crises of Disunion”; and the seventh. “The Political and Industrial History of the Republic since the Civil War.” SOCIOLOGY In the Sociology classes the students carried on much interesting work. Among the outstanding projects were the house plans and model homes. The boys drew original plans of houses, and the girls furnished a model home, by cutting out furnishing from magazines. During the entire course the pupils kept scrap books which contained items of sociological interest cut from newspaper and magazines. Three subjects ware debated by the students in these classes. The first debate was on public ownership, the second on capital punishment, and the third on the trial by jury. During the year the pupils gave projects orally in class every other week and at the end of the semester they wrote a semester project. Another feature in these classes was the making of health charts. The students drew up ideal individual charts, and a community health chart. A new idea was carried out this year in the Sociology classes. This was the giving of oral reports from the “Educational Research Reports” a pamphlet sent from Washington. Those who taught these subjects were, .Miss LavlUa Phares, Ancient History; Mr. Paul Walton, Modern and American History; Miss Ruth Carlisle. American History and Civics: and Miss Winifred Fay, Ancient History and Sociology. One hundred one CIVICS In the civics courses, two interesting debates took place. The first debate, given in the early part of the semester, was on the electoral college system. The second heard later in the year was concerned with the jury system. Beside these many interesting oral reports were given in the classes. An especially interesting one was on the city charter of Ashtabula. Also different city officials were interviewed by some of the students during the year. One student who interviewed City Manager Fred R. Hogue gave a very interesting report. Another outside feature of the civics classes was the survey made of the churches, playgrounds, service organizations, boy scouts, Y. M. C. A., Y. V. C. A. and other civic organizations in Ashtabula. Along with these pupils studied “The Government ol Ohio.” At the last part of the year thousand word themes were written by the pupils. FRENCH Classes in French are instructed by Miss Mary Stayman. As a help in learning vocabulary and creating a clearer understanding of French life the 11B pupils made notebooks about “Homes and Family.” Donald Wasson and Martha Juhola made especially good ones. The class was often heard singing French songs. The 12A and 12B students experienced thrills as they received photographs, letters, and postal cards from their fellow pupils in France. They also exchanged newspapers. Some of these were posted on the bulletin board of the classroom. French jokes were made by this class also, and a book of short stories and a four-aci comedy, “Mr. Perrichon’s Trip,” were read. SPANISH A two year course in Spanish, under the direction of Miss Genevieve Sauvey, is offered to the students of Ashtabula high school. After learning grammar and vocabulary the students write themes in Spanish and read short stories portraying Spanish lite in reality. To gain a more definite understanding of the locations mentioned in the translations, they drew maps of Spain as well as South America. Raymond Dela Motte and Alvin Johnson were most prominent in these activities, showing a great deal of artistic ability. Dolls cut from bass wood were dressed in costumes of old Spain. The Junior classes made notebooks on “Home.” “Spanish Dancing Girl” the picture which has just recently adorned the wall of the classroom in 26B gives a Spanish atmosphere. LATIN Latin is taught by Miss Lillian Woodruff and is a four-year course. Virgil’s two thousandth anniversary was recognized by the pupils who made posters portraying some of the scenes from Aeneid.” The 12A class transposed the fourth book of Aeneid into � iuite a detailed play. The members of this class also composed games and conundrums based on Virgil’s characters. Allen Bailey, Frances Slaybaugh, Marian Bissell, Laura Koski, and Lucile Ban-ford made exceptionally good notebooks on Caesar’s Gallic Wars. Extra reading of historical novels with Roman background was taken up by some. James Whitten-berger gave a very interesting report on a book of Roman life. Those who did outstanding work in 10A and 11B Latin were Allen Bailey, Treva Chapin, Bruce Ferguson. Jean Flick. Laura Koski. Genevieve May, Frances Slaybaugh. Marian Sturdevant, !x uise Talcott. Ruth Westfall, Jean Westfall; in 12A, Dorothy Brooks, Leslie George, Dorothy Johnson, Edith Jussila. Anna Shields. Marie St. John; in 12B, James Whittenberger, Feme Eller, Willard Hill. Robert Whlttenberger: in 11A, Harold Amspaugh, Esther Asmund, Alexander Blasko, Marjorie Hass, Mary Lynch, Charlotte Morrison. One hundred two Manual Training Hoys taking the Kngllsh Industrial course begin their work by drawing a plan or pattern of their future projects. Among these Frank Burgeson completed two valve handles which is very delicate work and considered quite advanced. Steve Massi has made a bell crank and Oscar Malin the body of a hand plane as outside work in the course. The Sophomore Drafting class designs furniture and studies its construction. This work starts very simply and each plan or design is gradually made more difficult until the final piece is suitably designed for a senior wood problem. The desired piece is assembled from these details. Junior classes work consists of studying 5 rt. x d ft. vertical steam engines. The course is assembled and given, and the detailed machine designed. Senior Wood-work classes detail their work which concerns standard house construction using frame and brick materials. They study how to build stair wells, moldings, window and door frames of both the frame and brick types. The Junior Wood-work class deserves a great deal of credit for it does all the repair work arounu school and builds all the necessary furniture needed. The Senior Advanced Wood-work classes are asked to design and make some particular piece of furniture that he wishes to use. such as buffets, dining suites, tables, chairs, secretaries, dressers, beds, and cabinets of all kinds. Departure was made from this this year when Harold Brown and Howard Baughman designed and built a 12 ft. 6 In. hydroplane. This hydroplane has no right angles and consequently there is a great deal of extra bending required to put it into the desired shape. This work is all donv by the boys themselves. (iym Exhibition For many years it has been the pleasure of the Department of Physical Education, under the direction of Miss Helen I,. Diehl, to present an annual exhibition of gymnastic work.

Budding 18 Center Street Quality Means More Because It Costs Less at Carlisle-Allen’s Quality alone is r.ot the test of good storekeeping! Low Prices alone arc not the test of good storekeeping! The only real test of good storckecping is quality and economy together! Any store can be a good store at high prices, but it takes good store-keeping to be a good store at low prices. Any woman can run a home on $10.000.00 a year, but it takes a genius at housekeeping and management to do a worthwhile job on a limited income! It also takes a genius for storekeeping to do a worthwhile job at limited prices! Quality isn't any good if you can't afford it. And low prices are not much good without it. What people want is something that’s hard to beat and easy to buy! And that’s our business. This store doesn't tip its hat to any store in the matter of quality. Neither does it make quality an excuse for fancy figures. Its chief and continuing contribution to the community is. that it sells quality at prices which even limited incomes can afford.
