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
