Let us turn to the first page of the history of a group of students entering on the sea of High School education in 1922. In this year on a beautiful September morning a crowd of energetic yongsters departed from their happy homes and set sail on the good ship A, H. S. for the pupose of increasing their store of intellect- ual wealth acquired in the previous eight years of travel. Their ultimate goal was a beautiful isle, know as the isle of Graduation. It was to prove a great voyage for never before had this group of youths ventured upon such a high sea of experiences. Fearfully, timidly and with that grim determination which means future suc- cess and happiness, they began their career as sailors under the captaincy of Kenneth Lloyd, with Isabel Bishop acting as first mate. At first the way was rough and difficult but by mastering the diiiculties encountered, they became brave and ready for more. The first year of the voyage was closed with the annual feast of the persons on board that ship, a High School Picnic and then it was abandoned for a period of three months. 17 ALOHA OE Before it was time to set sail again, the old ship was remodeled and made larger. The name was appropriately changed from A. H. S. to F. H. S. Then the voyage continued with the crew in greater vigor in the more modern vessel. At the beginning of the second voyage we learn that several members of the crew were lost at sea, but they were replaced by two new onesg Thora Chubb and Helen Young who deserted their ships and chose to finish their trip on old HF. H. S. Also for this year there was a change in the ofiicersg Dorothy Glenn being chos- en to act as first mate, while the captain continued to guide. Slow- ly but surely these cruisers were approaching the isle of their dreams-Graduation. This chapter is even more interesting than the Hrst. One of the members of the crew entered the Mahoning County Literary Con- test with the short story as a production and received second place and in so doing helped to win the County Literary pennant. Then, too, several of the group were becoming interested in another di- version-basketball-and were giving their best efforts to make an athletic name for old F, H. S. At theuend of May the crew departed for another vacation. This passed quickly and the time for the third voyage came and all were looking forward with high ambitions to continue on their way. Election of officers came first, Roy Sandquist was chosen cap- tain and Kenneth Lloyd acted as first mate. Although Ken was not captain this year, he probably did much in as far as necessity demanded. This year a few more of the group saw fit to give up the ship and go through life by another path. But again there were those who came to fill in the gaps left open by the missing members. They were Chester Tompkins, Mahlon Creed and Paul Dickenson. Also the advisory board, commonly known as the faculty had sev- eral changes of personnel. 18 ALOHA OE Miss Riehl, Miss Bryan and Mr. Buchwalter were among the newcomers, while Miss George who had now changed to Mrs. Schisler remained on board. Mr, Eschliman, our great command- er is still with us and we hope he stays, said the crew. Again the intellectual trait of this class speaks in Literary work. Out of a team of four, three were representatives from this class, Kenneth Lloyd and Evelyn Isch winning in the oration, first place, and the short story second place respectively. And again the reward was a beautiful pennant to hang in the auditorium. On May 22nd, the annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held at Over Look Inn near Canfield. Thus ended the third voyage. Now we turn to the fourth and last cruise. In the first few pages we read that our old Captain Kenneth Lloyd was re-elected and Dorothy Glenn chosen as first mate. As the beautiful ship F, H. S. sailed along three people were seen on a lonely island waving frantically at those on board. Upon stopping to rescue them, it was discovered that they were none other than Theodore Jergens, Wayne Tolson and Lynn Medland. They were welcomed by the 1926 cruisers as fellow sailors and the ship set sail again. As the days passed by, specks of land were seen in the distance. The little company of sailors were anxiously awaiting the day when they would set foot on the isle of their dreams. We read that on a certain day in the fall of 1925 Captain Lloyd called everyone on deck for the purpose of having a controversy. This meeting resulted in the determination to print the F. H. S. annual known as the Aloha Oe . This year had been prophesied by some of those great students to be the best yet and so it proved. It was on the 15th of January, that Mr. Eschliman called that team of four the Literary team and commanded them to start working and, being accustomed to doing what they were command- ed to do, they worked, and worked hard and on the evening of 19 ALOHA OE March 19th each one returned to Austintown from their respect- ive places which they were assigned to go, well repaid for their efforts. Each one on that team received a place, a record which in former years no team had made. All the members of this team be- longed to the class of 1926. They were Alice Crum, the reader, Evelyn Isch, the short story writerg Thora Chubb, the essayist, and Kenneth Lloyd, the orator. Reading on we find a paragraph that says, Our voyage of this year cannot be completed without a brief mention of our Ath- letic Activities. Fitch High School girls' basketball team this year won the Championship. This honor our school had constantly looked forward to, for the past number of years but it was not until 1926 with a girls team largely from the class of '26 and with Miss Riehl as coach that our girls' team finally reached their ambition. Isabel Bishop acting as captain had visions of the county pennant. Kenneth Lloyd, captain of the boys team had similar visions. VVhen the final day of tournament came the girls team had the good for- tune to win, while the boys team after a noble record both during the season and in the tournament did not win through the finals as they had done one year earlier in the school's history. They say athletics has become a necessary part of school activities. This historian of this class hopes that the record made by the members of this class will put the idea of athletics on the top most round of the ladder. And so our mind changes. The Commencement idea with class play comes next. The time passed very quickly and finally one fine spring day on June first, the good old ship anchored on the island, Graduation. We read the closing pages of this interesting history and close the book with a deep sigh. It was not a sigh of relief nor of cheer but it was one of fond 'farewell' to the times we loved so well . This day we all hoped to cherish in our fond memories during all the following days after the members of the crew had departed to go through life their several ways. 20 ALOHA OE p I Seniors' Last Will and Testament E, the Seniors of '26 of Fitch High School of Mahoning Coun- ty, State of Chio, do hereby, with many tears, publish this our last Will and Testament on the First day of June, 1926.

ALOHA OE CLASS PROPHECY OF 1926 IMPSON manipulated the various levers of the machine in a manner known only to the skilled aeroplane mechanic or chauf- feur. The machine glided to the ground and taxied back and forth to a smooth halt. Sir, said Simpson, I think that we had better procure some food. I looked about me. We appeared to be either in a small city or else a suburban town. Behind us a ten story building loomed up in the dusk for it was early evening. t On some of the floors there seemed to be lights. Say, Simpson, I demanded, You can't possible tell me where we are, can you? VVell, said he, in looking upward. that electric sign up there says: FITCH HIGH SCHOOL AUSTINTOWN, OHIO VVhy, Simpson, I exclaimed, I graduated from that same school back in 1926! Humph, murmured the fellow, he's older than I thought he wasg that was fifteen years ago. As we approached the building I was amazed at the marvel of modern architecture that arose before me in the form of the school building. We entered. On the sixth floor I seemingly became an intrud- er. for I was summoned to a halt by a liveried guard. I handed him my card and he withdrew. The boy soon returned and an- nounced that I was to follow him. As I followed him through the corridors, I pondered over what had been happening. No doubt this was the reason I was so startled. When I was ushered into a brilliantly lighted hall evidently the scene of a banquet, and was seated at a long table. I looked about me and began to scrutinize the visages of companions. 23 ALOHA OE The faces seemed to appear rather familiar, yet hardly to such a degree as to be placeable. Finally I recognized the face of the stately gentleman whose appearance denoted him to be a toastmaster of the occasion. And so he was, for as the last course was removed from the board he arose. He announced to us that as some of us were more or less distantly located from each other the meeting would assume the course of a sort of testimonial affair. True to his words he told the story of his life since leaving school. lt was an inspiring taleg a tale well worthy of starting this Fif- teenth Annual Banquet of the Class of 1926. His was a story of how he had risen to the General Manager of the General Electric. In his modesty he simply stated that he was now in a satisfactory position. I should think he was! Mr. Ewing called upon Dorothy Glenn. She arose and catch- ing the eye of someone proved with that old time giggle of hers that it was she. She told how she and Isabel Bishop were conduct- ing a mammoth school for the athletic training of girls in Boston. She told of their earnest endeavors to perfect the maids of that city in boih mind and especially in body, to cope with the difficult tasks of modern womanhood. Chester Tompkins held us spellbound while te told us in that inimitable style of his, of his success in this World's Labor. He is the head of a fine sand and cement block establishment. He is fol- lowing in the footsteps of his father so to speak. He furnished the sand and blocks for the new building thus showing his generosity. His business is indeed thriving for Mineral Ridge, where his plant is located, and has already surpassed Youngstown in size. Isabel Bishop added to her co-partner's report several inter- esting details of their work. It seems that there are 31,418 girls under their supervision. Thus you see they rank first in institu- tions of that kind in the world. Much could be said of the records hung up by those girls. Issy is more fortunate in one way than Dot in that her husband, a Cleveland youth, is not of an exploring 24 ALOHA OE turn of mind and can thus stay and tend to some of those business details that his wife would lack time to perform. Theodore,Roosevelt Jergens told in a real pleasing manner of his career as a newspaper man. After graduating from a southern college of much note, he took up his journalistic life. He is now editor of a flourishing paper in Des Moines, Iowa. His editorship has brought the paper to be the best known paper throughout the entire middle West. His private secretary often hears him sing- ing When you and I were Young, Maggie, for you see he mar- ried a Ridge Lassie. Ah, yes, I have heard that name before, but why the Mrs. prefixed to it. When she arose and began to speak, I recognized her as the girl we used to know back in school as Thora Chubb. Contrary to general opinion at the time, she did not settle down with some of our Senior braves and lead the life of a T. B. Nurse, but she did choose one well known to all of us. She has climbed to tremendous fame as an author. Already her essays are regarded as classic writings in some of our foremost schools of rhetoric. And if in the five short years that she has been publishing her works, she has reached that high pinnacle of fame, what are we to expect of her in the years that are to follow. Do you all remember that first essay down at Petersburg? Even then she was recog- nized as a future wonder. Wayne Tolson was another one of those modest people. But we were finally able to ascertain a few facts about his life. It seems that he has been appointed to fill the newly created Cabinet Office in the President's Cabinet. It is called the Secretary of Radio. Of course, because of the newness of the office he has not had a real chance to show his mettle, but he is the head of some of the best radio research laboratories in the countries. Alice Crum and Evelyn Isch, while married, still retain their maiden names. You see they are two of America's best liked act- 25 I ALOHA OE resses on the stage in New York. They very obligingly consented to give us an exhibition of their work and if I am any judge of the acting art, they certainly merit in full all the praise they may have been the recipient of in their adopted city. I understand that a Mr. Roy Sandquist is manager of the ladies' company. Attorney Lloyd, another resident of Gfotham, spoke quite lenglhily of his career of criminal lawyer in that great metropolis. He is well known in international as well as national circles. Thus you see he did us a rare favor in leaving his practice to come and address us absolutely without his usual fee. He is also somewhat published in the American Magazine under the titles that clearly have to do with our modern Crime Wave. But more often is his name found heading articles in the famous Judge Magazine, for his constant contact with all sorts of people has singularly broad- ened his sense of humor. His case is another one of those that upset our best laid plans and prophesies. Away back in '26 when we graduated, it was prophesied that he would be a T. B. doctor. Helen Young, her name is no longer that, is joint proprietor of a wonderful confectionery store. The store is located in Cleve- land but, like Child's it is course. VVhen Helen made her little talk she created much admiration for she invited us all and families too, to come in for a free treat any time we were in her city. Just before Kenny made his speech, I noticed Curtis Flick and Glenn Turner get up and retire. I thought nothing of it at the time but as their names were announced, they came running forth in the clothes that one always see acrobats in. As they reached the center of the floor they caught each other and began first one and then the other to throw the man coming down into double Somers:-'ills Tl.ev were certainly clever tumblers but then what was to be expected when they were always doing funny stunts in school? When they withdrew they were loudly applauded by all. Then Glenn Turner came out as spokesman the always did like to 26 ALOHA OE speak in publicj. He told that he and Flick traveled in the sum- mer with the circus and in the winter gave continual performances in the great Hippodrome Theatre in New York City. Another act of interesting exhibition was made to closely fol- low that of our two acrobats. It was one furnished by Jack Bing- ham. How well I remember in the days when I was a little younger how I delighted in going to see Houdini or perhaps Thurston. How I would sit astounded at their stunts. But when our Jack arose and began to display his arts of fooling the eye and other stunts that have made hi.m famous, I almost blushed in shame to think that I had ever admired these old time magicians. When he came to Tacoma where I live, he was such an attraction that the other theatres of that city were forced to close up for lack of business. No such stale tricks as producing a rabbit from his hat, for he is not in need of that trick when he can produce a whole dinner of rabbit already cooked by just saying Here it is, there it is, here! Mahlon Creed's place was the only one vacant. The toast- master told us the reason. He is the leader of the latest expedition of the National Geographic Society to the North Pole. Dorothy Glenn seemed to be tinkering with some little ornament attached to her dress. Soon she looked up in triumph. Even as she raised her head the sound of the absent member's voice could be distinct- ly heard all over the room. He was broadcasting from a point within ten yards of the Pole itself. He said that he believed that it was a little colder than when he was last there in 1938. He told his wife not to worry as he would be home in a few hours. Yes, sir, that little pendant was a radio set she always carries when he is away. Mr. Lynn Medland was the next gentleman's name that was called forth. He arose and proved to be the same old Lynn we used to enjoy so much. He is the head of two large businesses, both of an extremely profitable nature. The first is a large funeral parlor 27 ALOHA OE in New Orleans. It is the third largest of its kind in the world. The other is a Hne advertising firm in San Francisco. He has also personally improved himself in that he has cultured his voice. Who would have thought that the sleepy school boy that came to school only half awake but still singing, Oh What A Pal Was Mary , would ever become so accomplished in singing. When my turn came I told how glad I was to be with them. It is true that I had received an invitation but because of Worry had forgotten it. I was flying to Washington with a chemical formula for an improved gun powder and had it not been for the ever present hunger of Simpson I would have missed the affair entirely. I am glad to say my formula is being utilized by the navy in their big guns. Thus, after fifteen years in the world of outside life, I believe that we are all a credit to our school, people of whom she may proudly say when their names are mentioned Yes, he was from this school. And now in the years to come, may we ever keep our names spotless, the just deserts of our SCHOOL. 28 ALOHA OE CLASS POEM By THEODORE R. JERGENS Farewell, Farewell to thee, Fitch High Our hearts and voices seem to say. As we sadly leave, We can but sigh, For we love thee, as well, we may. Thy great halls, thy sunlit rooms, were ours. With love, we hail thee, fair learning tower. Our wise and worthy teachers, too, Who guided us, along the way Of knowledge fine, and ideals true. Their memory is to us a sweet aftermath Of days and weeks and months together- Through sun and cloud of schoolday's weather. Rah, for our student crowd of old Fitch High! We will leave our footprints on its sands. We will work and do or die To keep Fitch's fair name and honor grand. See, with friendship fine, our ties we'll bind. Better comrades anywhere, you'll never find. With hearts as full as words are vain We pour out ardent gratitude For all this gift, our youth's great gain- Of heights and depths and matchless magnitude' Again, let praise and thanks our portion be, When e'er, where e'er we think of thee. Then when memory stalks by night or day, And years disclose our Class of Twenty-Six . With youthful faces in fine array- The proud and smiling Seniors of Twenty-Six When silver threads are entwined among the gold We still shall love thee, our dear Fitch of old. 29 Sept Sept Sept.

There is Mahlon who thinks deeply This same Creed thinks a lot, fSometimesJ he thinks of something, More often he does not. When something passes you like wind, And heads toward the river, Just let it go and never mind, Ches and Chubby in their flivver. Next in line is Curtis Flick, Our Senior Society Man, He is lucky because he always gets, A new girl whenever he can. Then comes Ken our President, He sits in a back seat, And I'm afraid he'll always have, The job of cutting meat. ' The class has an abundance of freckles, And they're all on a well known child, That strawberry blonde is Glenn Turner, When excited he's usually wild. 37 ALOHA OE Claude Ewing sure does take the For scientific knowledge, And I will bet he'll raise a fuss, For teachers in his college. The beauties of a marcel wave, I'm sure should be discussed, You may be sure that Evelyn, Ne'er lets her wave get mussed. A moving picture fan is Paul, He likes to see a picture, In fact the Princess Management, Consider him a fixture. Dot Glenn is a lively young lady And very fond of good times, Some say she is very well Next in line comes Alice, A handsome industrious blonde, Of elocution, and Theodore, 'Tis said she is very fond. cake Liked by the teachers-sometimes. The above mentioned Theodore Jergens Will pass if fate will allow, It's a cinch We want him no longer, He's plenty long enough now. 38 ALOHA OE Wayne a radiotrician would be, He states in tones quite emphatic, You're hired by me, says Jack Bingham, To rid my Ford of its static. In basketball and other sports, Our Issy leads the rest, And we are sure that when she plays, She always does her best. Then Helen Young, whom we all know. Amongst the best of workers, Is in a Niles candy shop, The Chef of soda jerkers. To you who as Seniors we have known from the start, Commencement will come and our ways soon part, What our futures hold, no one can tell, But these memories will last, I bid you farewell. -Lynn Medland 39 ALOHA OE SENIOR CLASS DIRECTORY JACK BINGHAM-Fitch High '23 '24 '25 '263 Basketball '25 '26g Track '25 '26g Assisted by Sadie '25.

Now with the closing of our work as the class of '26-comes the sadness of farewell. We who have worked and played together during the past years, until by bonds of friendshipsg who have learned to love the familiar scenes of this school and its associationsg who shoulder to shoulder have climbed thus far together on the Hill of Knowledge have reached a parting where we must say goodbye, and we did not realize until now how hard it would be to break our class ties. And as we look back over the years we feel that our school days have been Happy days, of golden treasure, Work and play in equal measure. To our principal and teachers before we say goodbye, we ex- tend our sincere thanks, for we realize that their interest in our advancement has never wavered. Your capable instruction has won for us our laurels. We shall remember you lovingly through the years to come, when we hope to make you proud of your achievements. To the Board of Education, as Well as parents and friends, I wish to extend the thanks of the class for the sacrifices you have made, for your untiring efforts and interest and the encouragement you have given usg and for the benefits we have enjoyed during our years in this school which shall ever be dear to us. But as the billows of life force us apart, we will remember, and fight for the red and blue. Our school days, though happy and 44 ALOHA OE largely carefree, have taught us to be honest, faithful and indus- trious, to be upright and play fair. We shall be true to these and to Dear Old Fitch High. though our class will be severed, we often shall return to those dear familiar scenes.

A party first for all of us, Congenial be we surely mustg Our faculty you see so tho'tful too, Decided this we must all do. Be friends-obey and happy be, And rules and regulations seeg But-oh! basketball came at last, The calendar will tell the rest. For we were here the whole year through And classes gay were all we knewg But May brought Junior-Senior Banquet And June-goodbye to all good times. Goodbye to Fitch Hi and too, All we love and all we knewg To spreads, and all the happiness, Those dear old halls have meant to us. Goodbye, dear faculty, our teachers here, Goodbye to all classmates most dearg Our school days are o'er, you see, Yet we will all so happy beg For in our memories will dwell, The Fitch High, we loved so well. 54 chimes ALOHA OE CLASS SONG OF 1926 ALOHA OE Proudly sweeps the rain cloud o'er the cliff, Born swiftly by the western gale, While the song of lovers' parting grief Sadly echoes amid the flowering vale. CHORUS Farewell to thee, farewell to thee The windmill carry back my sad refrain. One fond embrace, before we say good-bye Until we meet again. I have fondly watched the lovely face Bright rose of Maunawili's bowler. VVhere the birds sip honey from thy lips Sweeter far than the dewy opening flower. Sweet the tho'ts I bear away with me Dear mem'ries of the happy past And tho' now we whisper, fare-thee-well Yet we know We shall meet again at last. ALOHA OE SCHOOL NEWS EVELYN ISCH OORAY! Hooray! School has begun again after a long vaca- tion. All flocked joyously into their rooms with heads awhirl thinking of the fun and jollity of the past year and anticf ipating a new year of pleasures. For along with hard study, dear old Fitch has many delightful social gatherings to brighten the way. The first great event was the School Fair. It was the largest and is no doubt the most successful event of the school year. This year as in the previous one, the grades were divided into groups, from one to three grades in each group. But the High School was divided into two sections. The Freshmen and Juniors in one sec- tion. The Sophomores and Seniors in the second section. There was much rivalry and competition to add zest to gala affairs. Oh, what's that. Only Arlis Chubb in a Ghost costume. Yes, for it is Hallowe'en, and the High School is holding a Hallowe'en Party. What weird fantastic creatures mingled with the Dames of long ago, with their powdered hair and long full skirts. Ghosts, gypsies, witches, ladies of '46, clowns and all mingled riotously. Two horrid looking creatures believed to be Mr. Buchwalter and Mr. Eschliman proved to be only Kenneth Lloyd and Arthur Baker. The refreshments were much enjoyed especially the pump- kin pie. Time passed and snow blanketed the earth. The spicy tinge of the Christmas tree reaches our nostrils and dear old Fitch is pre- paring for the arrival of Santa. He was very good to every one this year. b ALOHA OE The Seniors held a Xmas party during vacation and the af- fair was deemed a success. Spring is here and with it April Fools Day. The Sophomores entertained the Freshies at an April Fools Party. I wonder who was the most fooled. April seems to be a busy month. The Juniors gave a very fine program on April 30th. As the end of the year approaches the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet is held. This year it was held at the Y. M. C. A. followed by a theatre party at the Keith-Albee on May 11th. A liner time could not be had. The Senior Class is preparing to enamour its audience with the play, Come Out Of The Kitchen on May 21st. Attempting of course to eclipse every play in previous years. But in spite of our many pleasures there is a beautiful picture, ever to be cherished in our hearts. Our Chapel services. Many good and interesting speakers willingly gave their time to make our Chapel services, ones to be always remembered. May 30th at the Austintown Reformed Church, Rev. Glessner rendered the Baccalaureate address. Commencement will be June the first in the High School Auditorium. Then the Class of Twenty-Six will bid farewell to Dear Old Fitch whose bell will never again call us within the class rooms. To show our appreciation of the many services and wise coun- sel rendered us by our Principal J. C. Eschliman and his teaching staff, we, the Class of '26 dedicated a tree, on May 28th, 1926, to show to them our high esteem and loyal devotion. 57 ALOHA OE The first spelling pennant ever won by Fitch High was won by Dorothy Glenn, a member of the Class of '26 . She earned this honor by a high score, so of course we are justly proud of her. Dorothy Glenn, the best speller in the history of this school, and in Mahoning County in the year of 1926.

EDITOR. E. 61 ii: ALOHA OE THE STUDENT SENATE HE President, Secretary and Senator from each class in the High School are the members of the Student Senate. The purpose of the organization is to stimulate the proper school spirit, and to constitute an advisory body in matters per- taining to school standards. The business of the Senate is to find ways of improving conditions which need correction, and to exercise a general supervisory function with regard to conduct throughout the High School. The Council has accomplished some definite things this year and has demonstrated its right to exist as a permanent school or- ganization. ASST.

The members of this team need much Commendation on their untold efforts and their outstanding victory for their school in 1926. Evelyn Isch was awarded the gold medal with the Short Story, Kenneth Lloyd second in the Orationg Alice Crum second in the Reading and Thora Chubb second in the Essay. This made a total of fourteen points, the highest number ever obtained by any school. We have no tears to shed over the past for we are the proud owners of five Literary pennants, the last four having been acquired in consecutive years, Evelyn Isch and Kenneth Lloyd of our class making possible the last three. ...-.Qi Standing, left to right :- Thora Chub ...........,. .............................................. .......

GIRLS' ATHLETICS By CHESTER TOMPKINS N speaking of that branch of athletics commonly called basket- ball, our mind turns at first to our Girls team because they did play exceptional basketball throughout the season. Directed by their coach, Miss Riehl, with Isabel Bishop as captain, supported by two of the best forwards in the County, backed up by three whirlwind guards, it is no wonder that the team became champions. The season closed with only one defeat out of nineteen games, which was administered by the kind hands of Sebring and caused by a weakened defense. Evelyn Isch, our dependable guard, short- ly before this game was stricken ill and her personal illness brought a serious illness to the team. Within a few weeks Alice Crum had capably filled the vacancy and our defense was back to normal. On Saturday night March 6, 1926, they mounted the last rung of the ladder of fame by defeating Canfield in a thrilling overtime Y 79 ALC-HA game on the Rayen boards. This victory caused them to be official- ly named County Champions , bringing to Austintown the only girls championship in its history. The girls were now qualified to play for State Championship at Bucyrus but they were denied this privilege due to the fact that Mahoning Champs had not been entered. However the loyal supporters of basketball made it possible for them to Witness this contest. Much honor was paid to the girls of Fitch High that played basketball by the officials of the Mahoning County Tournament. Dorothy Glenn together with Isabel Bishopkas Captain were chosen for the first All County Star Team. Thora Chubb and Imogene Young for the second. Alice Crum and Marian Moore received Honorable Mention. The outlook for a championship team next year is rather blurred as Captain Bishop, Glenn, Chubb, Crum, Isch and H. Young are lost through graduation. However I. Young, Moore and Creed will return next year to add their support to the coming squad. Their coach, Miss Riehl, says There never was a team that more deserved championship. Working with the girls has been a treat not only because they were real girls, but, also because of the keen interest and support that was shown by the patrons of the school. They surely have been wonderful to us girls again this year. .....0..i. BOYS' ATHLETICS HE boys also had a team but some say the season was rather unsuccessful as they lost to some inferior teams. But as for the team they have no apologies to offer. For a time during the season they seemed to take a losing stride, but came back with vim enough to go into the tournament and defeat two of the biggest 81. ALOHA OE schools in the county as well as two of the best teams in the county. The boys were not quite successful in winning the county flag as were the girls, but Fitch High boys while playing against the Coun- ty Champions, gave them their hardest encounter of the entire tournament. When the tournament closed, and all players had been tried and tested, when the County All-Star teams were named, none of our squad were forgotten. Two of our number being chos- en on the County All-Star team. Each other member of the team was fully accredited for the noble way he played the game. Cap- tain Lloyd and Baker were the ones sentenced to serve on the County All-Star team, Tompkins, Creed and Watters were out- standing defenders for Fitch. Creed at center showed Fitch as good a center as she ever had. Tompkins, forward was willing to lay off his excellent shooting when necessary and play a defensive game. Hence his sum total of points. Watters, a man who was not afraid to guard even in the last minute of play helped save the day many times. We call the attention of our readers to the fact that Chester Tompkins, acting as athletic reporter, was stricken with an over abundance of his usual modesty while formulating this report, so the write up as far as the boys' team is concerned comes from the pen of another author. The athletic season has closed. It was successful. This quot- ation from our boys coach, J. C. Eschliman, will serve as the last sentence of these remarks. Our season for both boys and girls has never been excelled in our history. It has come to us not as a result of our efforts alone, but had it not been for the support of our 'good men' in the community the story might be different. With a backing like Austintown people give their teams there is little ex- cuse for failure. 82 ALOHA OE BASKETBALL SUMMARY TBOYS GAMES GIRLS GAMES F. H. S. Opp. F. H. S.
