It was a stormy night, a piercing wind lashed the water and caused the excited crews to huddle closer to the warmth of the cabins while they could. From time to time the ships lurched and the decks were drenched with icy water. Those on duty found it hard to keep their posts and the biting wind stung their faces. The little fleet numbered ten small ships, sturdy, easily managed and built for patroling the coasts. They were now pressed into active service and were eagerly watchful for hostile ships. On the Flagship, “The Magnate,” the officers were assembled in the admiral’s cabin seriously discussing plans for the expected attack. In one corner of the room sat a girl, perhaps eighteen years of age. She was clad in a midshipman’s garb of navy blue, her hair was bobbed and her dark eyes flashed brightly as she listened to the discussion of the men. It is difficult to explain the presence of this girl on a battle ship, especially on a battleship expecting to be in action within a few hours. It seems she was an orphan left in the care of a disinterested aunt while her only brother went off to serve his country on “The Magnate. ” One day when her brother came ashore she begged to be taken aboard and shown about the ship. After some trouble her brother. Ensign Craig, obtained permission to take his sister aboard. Joan was delighted with what she saw and ran here and there exclaiming at the various objects of interest. In the middle of the tour Ensign Craig was hurriedly called to the office at the admiral s command, and left Joan to wander alone. In the meantime hurried orders were being sent ashore ordering the crews to return to the ship immediately. About sunset every man had returned and the -ships weighed anchor. It was not until they were several miles out at sea that Craig was reminded of his sister. Page Six TIIE TATTLER A midshipman appearing at the door of the cabin, and saluting, announced: “There’s a young lady asleep in the cabin, sir.” “A what?” shouted the admiral, astonished. “Great Peter! Joan,” cried Craig excitedly. It was then necessary for Craig to explain Joan’s presence on the ship, to the admiral, after which it was decided there was nothing to be done but to have her remain on board and face the danger with the rest. Site was given a uniform so as not to be noticeable or distract the men should she appear suddenly during battle. There had been news of a small hostile fleet approaching New York and the Mosquito Fleet, as the United States fleet was called, expected battle before morning. Silently, eagerly, the crews watched and waited. Suddenly a shot from the deck watch pierced the air. The officers started and Joan jumped to her feet. The signal then rang from ship to ship. The enemy had been sighted. Admiral Johnson was immediately on deck and the crew assembled for orders. In a few minutes all was in readiness for combat. Joan followed the others out on deck but was forced back into the shelter of tin cabin. The hostile Meet opened fire about midnight. The first shot, directed at The Magnate, ripped the mast. Orders were sent by the admiral, from ship to ship, to separate and keep moving. For hours the battle raged. The angry sea tossed the ships about and a cold rain added to the hardships of the men. For a while Joan stood clinging to the post outside the cabin door. The crash of the cannon and tin flash of fire at first terrified her and she shuddered with horror. As the night wore on and wounded men were carried to the shelter of the cabin, Joan fell to work to help relieve their sufferings. Never had the night seemed so long, so never-ending and so terrible. Two ships of the Mosquito Fleet went down. The admiral had been seriously wounded and Craig was taking his place, an unprecedented situation. Joan stepped out on deck for a moment. The men were ghastly white, their haggard faces seemed almost despairing. The deck was strewn with wounded and dead and the noise of the cannon was deafening. Crash! The ship listed dangerously. Joan caught tin railing for support. Two men fell back on the deck. Joan hastened to them. She saw but one—her brother. Bending over him in a panic she called his name. Slowly he opened his eyes and whispered something. Joan bent low to hear. “The flag—it’s fallen—raise it—on the lower mast, the main one is gone, he gasped. “Tell the men to keep up their courage— tell them not to give up the ship.” Joan understood. The men were nearly exhausted with hunger Page Seven THE TATTLER and cold. If they could keep up the fight until dawn there was hope of victory. In that dreadful hour before dawn, Joan carried the message from man to man. Again and again it seemed she had fallen in the rain of bursting shells but always she appeared again unscathed by the shots. With difficulty slu1 made her way to the broken mast and gathered up the dag, soiled with smoke and torn with bullets. Then she climbed to the roof of tin upper cabin and fastened the dag to the ropes on the dag staff, (’rash! Joan felt a sharp, stinging pain in her arm. She grew dizzy and with an effort caught hold of the ropes and raised the dag to the top of the staff, then sank unconscious. Below on the deck in the drst gray light of dawn a midshipman caught sight of the dag. “Look, look.” he shouted to the others. The men looked and saw the stars and the stripes battered and torn but still waving victoriously. Fired with a new courage and determination, they put forth their final effort in the struggle. And then as the sun appeared, revealing the glory of a new day. a shout arose from all the ships, for there, from the mast of the enemies’ dagship, doated the white dag. .Sometime later The Magnate’s crew were banqueted at Washington and seated in the place of honor between the admiral and Ensign Craig, with bandaged arm, but smiling face, sat Joan, the heroine of The Magnate. Bingo, ’18 THE STUDY HALL CLOCK. Somewhat back from Sandusky street Stands the dear building where students meet. Past Minerva and up the stairs, To a large room full of worries and cares. And from the front of tin Study Hall, An ancient timepiece says to all,— ‘ ‘ Forever-Never. never-forever! ’ ’ Halfway up on the wall it stands, And when it so chooses swings around the hands, Which more often are seen to pause, All unmindful of the woe they cause But it is still there and sighs, Alas! With a sorrowful voice to students who pass ‘Forever-Never! never-forever! ’’ M. A. '18. Page Eight LAWS OF THE SENIORS. THE TATTLER Now these are the laws of the High School, they are true though you may deem them junk, And the Senior that keeps them shall prosper, but the Senior that breaks them shall flunk. As the teacher depends on exams and giveth them day and night. So the strength of the school is the Senior and great are they in their might. Study daily from sun-up to moon-up, work hard and be not too gay; Remember the nights are for working, forget not the days are for play. The freshmen may ask aid of the sophomore, hut Seniors when their day has come, Remember the Seniors are different, go forth and depend on their own. Keep peace with the lords of the High School—Messrs. Matson, Sa-ville and Henry, Trouble not Miss Kahler, the busy, and knock not the powers that be. When Senior and Senior are arguing and neither will give up the fight, Leave it until finished and don’t break in by your might. When you argue with the faculty, don’t wrangle alone and afar, The bell may ring while you’re talking and the class time be lessened by war. The seat of a Senior his refuge and when he has made him his home Let not the freshman enter. Let not the sophomore come. The desk of a Senior is his, but, where he has marked it with signs The faculty shall give him notice and he shall pay a fine. If you try to bluff, be silent; and let not the faculty know. Lest ye be called upon in class and your marks fall down below. You must study for marks; for reputation, as hard as you can. But study not for pleasure; and seven times seven never cram. If you copy your work from a Wiser, take not all in thy pride. Copyright is the right of the meanest, leave him at least one side. The reputations of the classes are varied. Some need take no exams. But—if one class shirks, the pleasure to all the rest is denied. The Senior play is an honor, all may not take part; But come to the try-outs and read, you may find you’re a “shark.” TIIE TATTLER Page Nine Debate is the right of the brilliant. From all the club are named Only the Seniors who in High School are known to fame. Commencement is the grand finale. From all the class are some Who, through four years of study right brilliant have become. Study right is the right of the “sharks.” They can work their heads to the bone. In trying to make reputation and in gaining great renown. Because of her knowledge and thinking, because of the wonders she saw. In all that the law leaveth open, the word of Miss Kahler is law. Now these are the laws of the Seniors, and many and mighty are they. But the Book and the Word and the Letter is merely never to he gay. M. K. ’18. 0 CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN! O Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every wrack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel the vessel grim and daring: But 0 heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells; Rise up—for you the flag is flung, for you the bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths, for you the shores a crowding; For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; Here Captain ! dear father! This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck You’ve fallen cold and dead. My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won; Exult, O shores! and ring, 0 bells! But I with mournful tread Walk the deck, my Captain lies Fallen cold and dead. From Leaves of Grass, ” by Walt Whitman. Pub. by Small Maynard Co..

Our football team bad a season so great, We never let up practice no matter how late, Mr. Williamson, our coach, the credit belongs to you, That our victories were many, our defeats so few. To defeat Ashtabula was our greatest delight, So we practiced every morning, noon and night, Mr. Williamson, our coach, the credit belongs to you, That Ashtabula was defeated by the white and blue. Although we were not the County’s best, Of our record we are proud nevertheless, Mr. Williamson, we thank you for what you have done, You are the greatest coach, second to none. C. IT. S. Football Team. tiip: tattler Page Pleven AFTER MANY MOONS. The Varsity Literary Society was finally able to cage the jinx that has haunted them for several years in Smith-Varsity contests by defeating the Smith in a basketball game 30 to 23. The game was played at the challenge of Varsity, although the odds were against them. The Smith, with Eades and Cameron of last year’s team, was thought to be stronger. The Varsity had two of last year’s players, Puffer and Zack, but Zack later developed a sore arm and the Varsity hopes fell to ten below zero. But they still had another shot in their locker, not to mention several dark horses, and so despite the concensus of opinion, they ran away with the game to the disgust of the Smith. In this game Smith and Rubenstein, of the Varsity, and Cowden, of the Smith, made their reputations. Smith scored more points than all the rest of his teammates together, while Cowden nearly equalled the points made by Eades, the star of the Smith team. Rubenstein proved, beyond a doubt, that it was not only in football, but in basketball, too, that he was destined to star. After he became accustomed to the difference between football and basketball rules, he showed that he was a newly discovered basketball satellite and he has not lost his reputation as such up to this time. The Smith team proved to be composed of tough characters and became rough so often that they presented the Varsity with eight points, due somewhat to Smith’s good eye at foul shooting. If Smith had been able to ease up on the violence, they would have been in the lead at the end. Line-up: Smith—23. Varsity—30. Curwood Left Forward. Punkar Cowden Right Forward. Puffer Eades Center.

S. certainly put up a hard and fast game against those annual opponents, the Ex-Highs. Smith, center, and Cowden, forward, jumped into the basketball hall of fame and showed that even though they are the youngest members of the team, they have careers ahead of them. Eades started at center, but was shifted to for- Page Twelve THE TATTLER ward soon after the game started. Cowden’s shooting was spectacularly marvelous and displayed an ability to put the “pill in from almost any angle of the floor—an art that he acquired only by nights of solitary practice. It took the Ex-IIighs a long while to get warmed up, but after Davis, Halliday and Smith limbered up, it be gan to look as though an interesting game was in store for the fans present. The old boys had not seen a basketball since the winter of 1917, and the lack of practice showed in their teamwork. If a few more quarters could have been played, it is almost certain that the Ex-Highs would have won. But a game consists of but four quarters, as it was necessary to remind the old boys when the game ended 33 to 24 in favor of the “kids.” It is said that the Ex-Highs had planned to give the young-uns a rough game, thinking that the county teams would all be of that calibre this season. If they are, C. H. S. will stand a fair show of coming right to the front with the bacon, for they turned the tables on the Ex-Highs, who never thought of being rough after the game started and did not even get warmed up until the last quarter. The Ex-IIighs could very well blame the war in Europe for the result, because most of the promising athletes in the Alumni have heeded their country’s call and are now in training camps or “over there.” Line-up: C.

After their victory over the Ex-IIighs, the team had high spirits as they journeyed to the little Pennsylvania town of Conneautville. via The Bessemer Lake Erie railroad on January 4. The Conneautville Vocational School was the formidable name of the opponents and they gave the High School a run for their money. The game was played in the Conneautville Opera House and the floor, in itself, was very slippery, but with six very hard posts, it was indeed hard to navigate. However, it did not baffle the THE TATTLER Page Thirteen warriors of C. H. S. and when the final whistle blew the board read: Conneaut 37; Conneautville 29. Thus ended the second game of the season, which Conneaut was very pleased to win, having been defeated by the Vocational School last year. Smith and Eades made up a veritable scoring machine and their basket shooting was faultless. Smith received an injury to his knee in this game which has led up to his present condition. Zaek guarded his man so suecessfullv that he did not get a point. Conneaut—37. C. V. S.—29 Eades ....................................................... Nicolls Left Forward.

Conneaut again came to the front and partially made up for the two defeats suffered at Harbor’s hands last year, by defeating them 28 to 18 in the first county game of the season. Harbor’s team was weakened considerably by last year’s graduation and by recent enlistment in the service. The game was close from start to finish. The score af the end of the first quartr was 7 to 6 in Harbor’s favor, at the end of the second quarter 14 to 12 in Harbor’s favor and at the beginning of the third quarter was 19 to 16 in Conneaut’s favor. Puffer scored the most points for Conneaut—12; while Taki and Brink shared the honors for Harbor with 6 points apiece. Brink, although. Avas the star and the mainstay of the whole team. On the other hand. Eades was Conneaut’s best player. Zaek guarded his man well as usual, Bjorklund getting only one basket. In the preliminary betAveen the Irving and the Oxford, the Irving Avas decisively defeated. Kurtz and White starred for the Oxfords, while Green Avas the big man for the Irving. This is the third successive game the High School has Avon, but only the first county game. At this time it looks as if the last game of the season between Conneaut and Ashtabula, at Ashtabula, will decide the county championship.

The game was the fastest that has been played this year. Painesville was light, hut fast and was game to the end. In the first three quarters Conneaut got one basket a quarter more than Painesville and broke even in the last quarter. That tells the tale of how Conneaut slowly but surely won their fourth victory. Eades and Zack were the stars in Conneaut’s line-up. Greenfield was Painesville’s main scoring machine, making 14 out of the team’s 20 points. Zack and Rubenstein made a fine pair of guards. Rubenstein’s man got only one basket. Cowden scored more points than all the other members of our team put together. His hard work at practice certainly showed results. A preliminary was played by the High School Seconds and Kingsville. Kingsville was decisively overwhelmed, 28 to 11. Curwood’s and Benson’s shooting were the bright spots in the game. Eastman scored 9 of Kingsville’s 11 points. The High School has had hard luck so far this year. Puffer has quit school, also Punkar. Smith, the star center, is laid up with an injured knee, which will probably keep him out of all athletics for Ihe year. They are all players that the High School will miss badly. Conneaut—26.

The basketball team of the county seat proved easy money for C. H. S. when, on January 25, they threw precaution to the winds and boarded the P. 0., better known as the ocean wave, and slept (?) for three hours while that faithful gunboat fearlessly pursued the treacherous rails. But everyone luckily recovered soon from the customary sea-sickness, just in time to show our capital city what a basketball team looked like. Page Fifteen THE TATTLER The small gymnsium at Jefferson handicapped our players, but they started out strong and ran up twenty-one points before the whistle blew for the first quarter and stopped the slaughter. Losing their ability at basket shooting as the game progressed, (upon Conneaut’s) the exhibition lost interest, and it is reported that a faithful rooter, Warren Eades, was found asleep when the half ended. Conneaut did not get a point in the second quarter and the scoro stood 21 to 7 in favor of Conneaut. A goal by Eades was the only score in the third quarter, but Jefferson seemed to gain form as the game went on. Zack was in a new position at forward, but put up his usual good game and got four goals. Rubenstein and Cowden each got two goals, while Eades copped the most baskets, getting six goals. Wilson and Brainard possessed what ability the Jefferson team had as far as basket shooting was concerned, but White had a good eye and shot four fouls. Conneaut—30. Jefferson—12 Zack Cowden Left Forward. Wilson Eades Right Forward. White Rubenstein Center. Lambdin Cox Left Guard. Latimer Right Guard. Summary: Baskets—Zack 4, Cowden 2, Eades 6, Rubenstein 2. Brainard 2, Wilson 2. Fouls—Cowden 2, White 4. Referee—Cooley, of Ashtabula. CLOSE, BUT— Conneaut still remains undefeated. Geneva also went away with the little end of a 21 to 16 score. But the outcome was not certain until the final whistle blew. Geneva had a very fast team, and also a bulldog tenacity, and endurance. At the start of the game, any spectator could not have told the outcome. The teams seemed very evenly matched and the score of the first half, Conneaut 6, Geneva 5, was certainly nothing to figure on. Conneaut went into the second quarter with a rush and played the best basketball of the game during that quarter. They swamped Geneva and got the lead that they kept till the end of the game. Conneaut’s score at the end of the second quarter was 17, Geneva 7. Geneva came back strong in the third quarter and held Conneaut scoreless and rang up 6 points for themselves. It began to look as if Geneva would overcome the lead and Conneaut wakened up somewhat. The last quarter was a Page Sixteen THE TATTLER desperate contest. Conneaut determined not to lose its lead, and Geneva just as determined to overcome it. Conneaut finally succeeded in winning the quarter 4 to 3 and thus saved its scalp. Something seemed to be wrong during the second half. Conneaut did not show any life and did not play team-work. They were way off their shots. A weakness of the team that must be remedied was also shown. They missed 13 out of their 14 free tries at goal. No one seemed to be able to shoot fouls. Cohn, of Geneva, shot 8 of their 14 fouls. If Conneaut had a man who was sure on fouls the score would have been 34 to 16 instead of 21 to 16. It is a great advantage to a team in a close game to have a sure foul shooter. Some of the members of the team should practice foul shooting and be allowed to shoot all of them. Zaek, Cowden and Curwood were the scoring machine for Conneaut. Eades was the main man in passing, while Rubenstein played his best game at guard. The Irving Literary Society and the Broad street Eighth Grade teams played the preliminarv. the Irving winning, 10 to 6. C. H. S.—21. Geneva—16. Curwood, 1. f. Foster, 1. f. Cowden, r. f.

Conneaut won two of the hardest fought games of the season from their old rival, Ashtabula;—one game by one point, the other by five. The game between these two schools is the athletic event of the season. Tt was certainly an unexpected victory. Several of our players, when questioned before the game, said that they did not expect to win it, but that they would play for all they were worth to even up the old score on the football field. Ashtabula seemed all confidence, before they entered the game, from the remarks that were heard before the fray. Close to 600 people packed the gym. willing to help all they could with spirit. The preliminary was the fastest and closest one that has ever been played in Conneaut. The referee was too slow and allowed the game to get beyond his control several times. There has never been a more hotly contested preliminary. The score remained close throughout. At the end of the first quarter it was 4 to 4, 7 to 6 in favor of Ashtabula at the end of the second quarter and 10 to 10 at the end of the third quarter. The game finally ended 15 to 14 in favor of Page Seventeen TIIE TATTLER Conneaut. Cox was Conneaut’s star. He was the mainstay of the team and the pivot in team work. The main game was principally one of excellent guarding, at which Zaek and Cameron excelled for Conneaut. Ashtabula’s team work would be broken up time and again by these two guards. Eades played the best game of the season. Cowden and Curwood starred at passing. Ashtabula’s forwards did not get a basket until the last quarter, due to our guards’ wonderful work. The ball was almost all the time in Conneaut’s end of the floor and they had three times as many shots as Ashtabula. Ashtabula, though, excelled on teamwork and it was due to the playing of our guards that they did not get a basket after working the ball down the floor. Eades proved conclusively that he was the star of the whole team. All of the team work was centered around him. The men looked to him to shoot most of the baskets and he did, scoring 14 of our 20 points. He never seemed to tire and was always on the jump. Curwood and Cowden aided with their passing and continually broke up Ashtabula’s teamwork before it got fairly started. Conneaut got a 6 point lead before Ashtabula got started. Eades got three pretty baskets in a row. Hall got Ashtabula's first basket. He shot 3 of Ashtabula’s 5 baskets. The first half ended 12 to 5. The second half Conneaut scored 8 points to Ashtabula’s 10 and ended the game 5 points to the good, 20 to 15. Cowden missed 8 out of 10 tries at fouls during the game. C. H. S. Second—15.

The greater part of the student body are congratulating themselves on passing safely over another mid-year exam. But, as usual, there are several who stumbled at the obstruction. They were not prepared. Fellow students, let this be a lesson to you. Do not find yourselves unprepared next June, and then curse the faculty. You might be fortunate enough, with a great deal of cramming, to prepare yourself in the last two or three weeks, but nine times out of ten, it will not work. So let me warn you. Get busy. Run no chances. Now is the time to begin preparing for that final exam.— next June. C. K. ’18. SIMPLIFIED GRADUATION. In previous times, until last year, graduation was always an elaborate affair, and much money was unnecessarily spent on fancy dresses, flowers and other extravagances. Last year the graduating class adopted a very sensible plan, and instead of spending their money on elaborate clothes, the girls all wore white skirts and middies, while the money was used for a delightful and instructive trip to Washington, under the chaperonage of Miss Kahler and Mr. and Mrs. Matson. This year, more than ever, as our country is now at war, economy is being practiced everywhere by nearly everyone. Once again the time of graduation is drawing near and with it the annual discussion among the Seniors of “What shall we wear?” Last year’s class all voted that they could not possibly have had a more enjoyable graduation, and this year, although perhaps on account of the war a trip to Washington might be impossible, would it not be Page Twenty tup: tattler wise for the graduating class to adopt the plan for a simplified graduation? R. K. ’18. “SAVINGS.” How much have you saved? Have you a bank account, or better still, a Liberty Bond? If you have, you are all right. If you haven’t—what is the matter? A fellow without a bank account is like a mono-rail car without a gyroscope. He has nothing to keep him moving steadily. There is positively no acceptable excuse. There isn’t a man in this country who couldn’t have some sort of a bank account if he wanted it. And then he could invest it in War Savings Stamps, and help the Red Cross, and thus become a good and worthy citizen of this great and glorious Republic.

On Wednesday, Dee. 12, the High School students listened to a very interesting talk given by Captain Ralph Durkee, a former High School student and athlete. He told of army life and presented a clear picture to the minds of all who listened to him of how Uncle Sam goes about to mal e an officer. In one part of his talk he said to the boys: “Boys, don’t think I want you to enlist, rather, 1 would say, ‘don t enlist. Finish your high school course. Get an education so that, when the time comes, you may till tin places of tin men who have heard the Great Call and answered it. Nothing is accomplished in this world without an education and tin sooner you realize this and make the most of your opportunities while you are in high school, tin more value you will be to yourself and to the world.” 11 is talk was an inspiration to all who heard it and more than one of us resolved to begin working a little harder and getting a little more out of the advantages that are now ours. Mr. Williamson sang “Keep tin Home Fires Burning,” while the whole school joined in the chorus. After singing tin1 “Star Spangled Banner” we disbanded, each one of us fired with a resolve to make the most of our opportunities while we may. The Christmas program was given by the Public Speaking Class and the Girls' Glee Club on Friday. Dec. 22. The program was as follows: High School orchestra. THE TATTLER Page Twenty-Three Reading—The Birds Are Taught to Fly, Alyce Kurtz. Talk on Folksongs, Miss Taylor. Group of Folksongs, Girls’ Glee Club. Reading—When the Pie Was Open, the Birds Began To Sing, Clara Macbeth. All the numbers were splendidly given and were much appreciated, especially the readings by Alyce Kurtz and Clara Macbeth. The Public Speaking Class has brought out much talent that has heretofore been unknown in the school. On Friday evening, Dec. 14, the annual banquet for the football men was held in the High School. The banquet, given by five of the mothers of the Senior hoys and the Athletic Association, was served by the Domestic Science class. There were over thirty football men in attendance and all present said the affair was a complete success. Edmond Lehigh was made captain of the team for next season. The football banquet has become an annual affair and is looked forward to by the hoys as a fitting climax to their weeks of hard work. After the football banquet Friday evening there was a Christmas party given by all the members of the High School. All interested in flu school were cordially invited to attend and many parents and ex-highs availed themselves of the opportunity. The first part of the evening was devoted to an entertainment given by the eight literary societies, and was a howling success. The stunts were performed so cleverly and were so unique that that part of the evening will long remain a happy memory to all who attended. The performing of the stunts proved to a good many people that there is an abundance of talent in the high school. After the entertainment was over, the remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing and games. Dancing was enjoyed in the gym., music being furnished by the high school orchestra, while games were played in the upper corridors for those who did not dance. Throughout the evening punch was served, and at a late hour the party broke up. Everyone voted it the best party ever, and many expressed a wish for more of the good times that were enjoyed that evening. After the basketball game with Ashtabula Harbor, Friday, Jan. 11, an impromptu party was enjoyed in the gym for all who cared to stay. Music was furnished by Dorothy Durkee on the piano and Mendel Jones on the drums. After having witnessed two good games of basketball, it is no wonder that everyone felt hilarious and wanted to get on the floor and do a little jumping around for themselves. Page Twenty-Pour THE TATTLER Dancing was enjoyed until after eleven, when the orchestra went on a strike. The affair was decidedly informal, but the sixty young people present all said it was just the right ending for an evening crowned with victory and many high school people were heard to remark that a “regular party” after every game would certainly be appreciated. On Friday afternoon, Jan. 11, after the regular chapel exercises, the Alumni of the Conneaut High School presented the school with a beautiful service flag. The flag contained thirty-eight stars, for members of the Alumni who are now in service. Mrs. Simonds, a graduate of the class of 1890, made the presentation speech. She gave a beautiful original poem and as many students expressed a desire to have a copy, it is herewith given, with Mrs. Simonds’ permission: Our High School Alumni may hold her head high To see in procession her sons marching by, Their country has called them and quickly they go Their courage and valor and honor to show. No word of repining or grumbling we hear; Each one presses forward with a vision that’s clear; All sad thoughts of leaving the loved ones at home Are hidden with jest and never a moan. Two of our number are over the seas— Hugh Marcy perhaps, was the first one of these; And then Ilarland Cowle, in an air plane so high, Will bring fame and glory to Conneaut’s High. In the heart of us all there’s a song we would sing About every one, in the emblem we bring Of promotions they’ve won with their untiring work— Lieutenant and captain, with never a shirk. But private or captain, they’ve given their all In answering “aye” to their nation’s clear call. Thirty-eight men of our number today Have answered this call and gone on their way. Hats off to honor, but deep in each soul Is the prayer to our God they may win the great goal; Not with hatred or lust to keep in the fight But because they are sure their country is right. To the stars and the stripes let us ever be true In the name of this emblem we now give to you. THE TATTLER Page Twenty-Five For each one a star and each one a cheer As onward he goes with never a fear. The Conneaut High School may hold her head high To see in procession her sons marching by. Their country has called them and quickly they’ve gone To return to us when the victory’s won. Ruth Kelley, of the senior class, in behalf of the High School Council, and the student body, accepted the flag with a few well chosen words of sincere appreciation. Mr. Williamson sang “My Own United States,” which was much applauded, after which Mr. Thayer, of the class of 1897, read the honor roll. This consisted of the names of the men who have graduated from C. H. S. and are now in the service of their country. The exercises were closed by all singing “The Star Spangled Banner. ’ ’ The hearts of all were filled with pride when they looked at the flag and realized that for every star there was a man, who claimed C. H. S. as his Alma Mater, and who is now doing his bit for U. S. A. We cannot all don a uniform and march away to fight, suffer, and maybe die on the battle field of war, but we have a fight before us that perhaps is just as grim—fighting our way to success and victory on the battle field of life. Let us fight a good fight that, at the end we may give a good account, even as we know these first thirty-eight to leave for active service will fight a good fight “over there.” Twenty-eight basketball girls demonstrated that they could do some other things as well as they could play basketball when they had a regular “feed” Thursday, January 24. The dinner was enjoyed at six o’clock, after which the girls donned their gym suits and played a strenuous game of basketball. Miss Kahler and Miss Davy were guests of honor and both agreed that, the girls were some eaters as well as good players. A conglomerate assortment of Sophomores, Juniors and a few wise and lordly Seniors journeyed to the Loomis shack Jan. 26, on one of the most disagreeable nights of the season. None were reported frozen, but their youthfulness and unquenchable enthusiasm are doubtless responsible for thus avoiding what would otherwise have been a tragedy, had older and wiser (f) persons gone. The girls in the bunch took the “fixins” for a spread and all who lived through the experience said they had a great time. The rest of the student body will not dispute them. Miss Manning and Miss Merz acted as chaperones. Page Twenty-Six THE TATTLER After the game with Geneva, Friday evening, Feb. 1, a dance was enjoyed in the upper hall. Music was furnished on the piano by Dorothy Durkee and George Watson, while Mendell Jones played the drums. Over a hundred High School people stayed and an informal good time was enjoyed by all.
