so-A 'gp THE BOARDMAN CRIER ,' ,me lllll w vi I I 1 g dllf x25 L 513 REFLECTIONS When We met we were friends, my High School and I As happy as lovers in June. But the time draws nigh, when I must say adieu, My dear old high school, to you. As my mind wanders back o'er the Freshman ranks, CI Was fresh as a morning in Mayj, I think of the pranks, and lessons I did with a will In that year at the foot of the hill. And the second year, too, I continued to climb, Though the grade of the hill seemed steep, One step at a time, I made my Way To higher levels each day. Not long ago I entered my third year of High The hill was at least half ascended, And an upper class-man was I, beginning to see The innuence the school had on me. I'm a senior now, and' my high school career's nearly ended, And I say to myself, At last-the hill is ascended, soon the time will slip by And I will leave Boardman High. When we part vve'll be friends drawn closer by time, And I'll keep on loving the school, That taught me to climb and to toil on through strife In climbing the mountain called life. -Earl Garver, '29, 17

THE BOARDMAN CRIER AL' -A nil it 1? tl-1 :4 l3f'! +f mnffawl af IMI c f I U g lllnmsirv ' fdill igffi , , gag HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS In September, 1925 we entered Boardman High, forty-eight strong, to be initiated as Freshmen. Since that time we have lost several mem- bers, and there are now thirty-six in our graduating class. Our Freshman year was a very successful one. In the social field we became acquainted with the upper classmen and entered into the spirit of the school. A number of our boys were fortunate in becoming letter men on the Mahoning County Champion Football Team of 1925. As Sophomores and Juniors we considered ourselves a more im- portant factor in the school activities. We studied diligently, breaking the monotony of study by the usual interclass parties. As Juniors, a Prom was arranged for the Seniors, which I am sure, neither class shall forget, for the artistic setting and loyal class friendship. Our senior year, the happiest and yet the saddest as it draws to a close, has surpassed all the others in one respect. The basketball team, consisting of four seniors out of the five regulars, battled its way through county, the district and Northeastern Ohio Tournament, into the class B. State championship meet at Columbus. The first time in the school's history that a Boardman team had reached such heights. The boys were very unfortunate in being eliminated by the margin of one point. But we are all very proud of the wonderful record they have set for the succeeding class. We have been represented very ably on the executive committee and on the Crier Staff . We have sent contestants to the Mahoning County Literary Con- test for the past two years and aided in bringing home the penant for 1927. Our members in the Glee Clubs and orchestra worked hard and have taken active parts in the operettas and entertainments that have been given. A number also belong to the Stagecraft Club which was organized this year. It has just closed a very successful season. We have made an earnest efort to better fit ourselves for the future and we feel that it has not been in vain. We go forward, de- termined to be a credit to our teachers and to refiect honor upon Dear Old Boardmanv. -Madeline Mulhall, '29. 16
