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
