THE ANVIL, JUNE, 1918. Editorial . all K S L We, the class of 1918, have come to the end of our high school course. The days spent in P. H. S. appear to us to be happiest days we have ever spent. The four years which in anticipation seemed long work, in retrospect seem all too short play. In these years we have formed friendships which will never be broken. Our view points have been ever changing, but at each change the attraction of P. H. S. has grown greater. Our tedious tasks often caused us to wish that our school days were over, but now it is with regret that we leave them. V Now as we part, some of us never to be associated again, let us hope that the fond memories of our high school days will be common meeting ground of all. The Anvil Board wishes to than Christina Beswick and Marguerite Roberts for their help in arranging and letter- ing the pictures in this issue. lliljllill Doing Our Bit The students of P. H. S. have contributed willingly to all the various calls for money sent out by our government. They have gone over the top in every campaign. Up to this time the War Savings Stamps subscription has been 551580.75 The amount loaned by the P. H. S. stu- dents in the three Liberty Loans has been 318,200 Our school has already started to help fill the Lake County War Chest. Although this movement has just recently started, P. H. S. has subscribed over S77 5- When we think how much we are doing by helping in all of these patriotic movements, surely we have every rea- son to be proud. Billlllll An Acknowledgement The members of the Senior Class were greatly pleased to receive from Mr. John Rich some very pretty commence- ment booklets and Wish to thank Mr. Rich for his kindness and generosity.

THE ANVIL, JUNE, 1918. A Four Years' Voyage On a sparkling sunshiny September morning in 1914 a group of sailors timidly left the Harbor of Home for travel on the ocean, Painesville High School. These sailors had never journeyed on the waters of high school life before, so of course they were a trifle nervous. But not one of them would have allowed the older sailors on the sea to know how wobbly they felt. When those who had decided to take the trip clambered on board boats eleven and twelve, their first pilots, Mr. Wagner and Mr. Old, found that there were many ways of rowing in which these sailors must be instructed to become eflicient oarsmen. A little while later part of this unskilled crew left for boat eight where the pilot, Miss Green, did her best to help these become more accustomed to the tides. At times different members of the crew were stranded from their ships, but the captain, Mr. Lowary, seemed expectant of this, and rescued them from watery graves in the sea. In October the sailors turned their oars toward the shore of pleasure and landed long enough to enjoy a horn- pipe and cider on the island, Maccabee Hall. Friendships were formed on this island with the crew of boat seven who always had disembarked for a good time. Soon after, the sailors returned to their respective ships. They had learned many of the diiiiculties of a seaman's life before there came upon their course a dread whirlpool, Examinations. The boat was allowed to drift at will thru this danger, and nearly all on board were saved. During the next six months the ship sailed rapidly, for the sailors were becoming adept in managing their oars. After another whirlpool of the same type as before encountered Cexaminationsb, the sailors re- turned to the Harbor of Home, tired, but much wiser sea- farers. Nearly all had become so attracted to traveling on the High School Sea the year before that they had decided to return and learn still more of the seaman's life. Those who did not return were greatly missed. This time there were ' 9
