Volume 4 ' Churchill, Ohio 1927 THE LIBERTY ORACLE OUR ADVANCEMENT IN OUR SCHOOLS At the end of the school year for 1925-1926 the board of education found the enrollment to be too large for the school building and decided to build six new rooms during the summer vacation. The firm of Zinc 85 Campbell were employed as the architects. After the bids had been looked over it was found that the Anderson Brothers of Alliance were the low bidders and the contract was let to them. The addition was not quite completed at the time school opened the next fall but was completed soon afterwards and has been occupied during the present year by the Manual Traning Department and a part of the grades. . From all indications Liberty Twp. is going to demand another additon before many years, Several Real Estate Companies have open- ed allotments and expect to sell a large number of lots during the coming year.

An educational program that will reveal beauty, give intelligence, cultivate social and civic ideals, and give a broader and richer personal life. A program that conserves all the interests of pupilsg the excep- tional, the average and the physically or mentally handicapped. A program that provides equal and varied opportunities for a liberal education based alike on art and industry, with books and things, work and study combined: that recognizes both the cultural and vocational aims of education and prepares alike for college and work with no narrow preparation for either. A unified organization and plant that gives every child from the kindergarten to the twelfth grade equal opportunity to make of himself and prepare for him the life he is to live and the work he is to do. A program making adequate provision for the recreational, civic and educational activities of all the children as well as directional educational to adults. A program which has physical education and good health as its foundationg which is con- trolled throughout by moral and civic purposes and is measured in terms of spiritual values. This program which covers a broad field, can and will be a realization in the near future, as the vision as well as the plans of the Board of Education, are completed, ' And the significance of it all is, that the boys and girls of this community may be adequately trained for better citizenship for tomorrow.

THE LIBERTY ORACLE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September of '24, saw eighteen Freshmen launch their frail, bark on the wild and tossing sea of school life. There were many storms that threatened, but this class in its first year made a successful and hopeful start on their journey. We, as Freshmen, took a prominent part in athletics and literary work, One member was on the boy's basketball team, and two were in the football eleven. Our classmate, George Hill, won first in Oratory, and Florence Williams, first in declaming. Several Sophomore boys were on the football squad and Gertrude Bickell made the first team in basketball. Cinny 0'Neil was that year on the basketball team and also made the County team. His classmates join in their wish for his future success in athletic work. The Sopho- more class won the award given to the class selling the most tickets for the Lyceum. Parties were held during the school term and served as a pleasing diversion from the strenuous school work. With our number lessened by several, we came back in September as Juniors, eager to continue our journey. The superiorty of our class was again shown when our classmates George Hill and Mildred Richards won first in Oratory and Short Story, respectively. Gertrude Bickell won second in Short Story. In athletics we were proud of Cinny and Jeff , two players on the varsity basketball team, and of several members on the football squad. Two Junior girls, Eva and Florence, made the girl's team. In track, too Eva, Walter, Cinny and Earnest, demand notice here. The Junior Play, directed by Mr. Bascom, and presented in February, was an outstanding success of the school term, Two Juniors, helped to comprise the school orchestra. Our last year at Liberty-Our Senior Year-and what a successful one. Cinny, Farmer, Jeff, Cheese and Sister were on the boy's basket- ball teamg Florence, Eve and Gertrude were on the varsity team. The Senior boys won the Inter-Class Basketball Tournament. In football, as in former years, several boys comprised the squad. Several members are preparing for track and the class is busy with the Senior Class Play. As we look back over our four years of high school, we think how short they have been, and, though we are looking forward with anticipation to bright futures, we cannot help but feel saddened when we think that our school days at Liberty are over, when we know we must sever old friendships and associations which have become dear to us. Appreciation of the advantages which have been ours, remindful of the sacrifices made for us, and with hearts full of gratitude and love, the class of '27 bids farewell to Liberty. -FLORENCE WILLIAMS THE LIBERTY ORACLE SENIOR CLASS POEM. Just a class of serious seniors, Starting on the road of life: With our knowledge as our armour For use in din and strife. Our class is the bestest ever Has always scorned defeat, We're proud of every member So each one you shall meet A worthy one to begin our list Whose work demands our praise Whose pluck and good will won our love Whose smile made bright our days. Gertrude Bickell is her name To her friends she's known as Gert g She always heads the Honor Roll In athletics she's quick and alert. Raymond Oneil is a class mate Of sportsmen- the very best An all around athlete is Cinny Ever ready for fun and jest. Cinny's a true son of Ould Ireland , Chivralous- -gentlemanly-kind, Nice looking-studious-friendly, No better you'l1 anywhere find. Next of our girls we mention Amy, Who loves her work and her school, She is quiet, serious, industrious, And lives out the Golden Rule. She is liked by all who knows her, Admired by those who hear Of her talent in music and studiesg Of l1er success there's no fear. Another senior who is liked by all Is Edward Bortmas, or Ed , Who takes up golf as a past time And is champion typer, 'tis said. Many obstacles by Ed have been met He'1l stick to the very last He's good in his studies, has humor and wit In athletics he's strong and fast. THE LIBERTY ORACLE We bring to your notice another girl Who is witty, pretty, and rough But she's perfectly harmless, so don't be alarmed In athletics she knows l1er stuff . Eva's been with our class through its fighting days She's been loyal to it ever Her friends will miss her when she's gone When she old ties must sever. We'll introduce here another boy Who is famous far and near For oratory, deolaiming, and speech, To the class of '27 he's dear. A bright future for George is predicted His work has just begun, When he graduates, to college he'll go, There to blend work with fun. One of the girls who has helped our class In every phase of its work Whose good-natured smile made life wort Whose duties she'll never shirk. In music or inter class contests We're proud of Mildred each year She's going to be a school marm Of her name you'll later hear. What would our class be without Ernie In athletics he's a wow But when a pretty girl goes by Ernie says, Don't hold me now . Farmer plans to be a dentist, At this he'll do first rate, Until he meets some pretty girl Who'll lead him to his fate. K. Skaggs is a boy who will be Of this we have no fear He plans to be a golfer Of his fame you soon will hear. 3. SUCCQSS Skeeter has truly been called The savior of our class For he changed from thirteen to fourteen The number that will pass. The football squad comes on the field Oh, wait! here comes one mo! We al111ost forgot the water boy Yet how could we forget Joe? h while THE LIBERTY ORACLE But though we often tease him, We all love him you seeg We would be incomplete without him And would never happy be. A knock-down to our captain Jeff, whom we all adore, For his sterling truth and loyalty To the heights of fame he'l1 soar. In athletics there's nobody like him He's a whiz in any game, For plunging, holding and shooting, Famous will be his name. P Maybe you'll think you're too busy To hear of another boy Who here at school studies Literature And retells the Siege of Troy , 'iCheese busies himself with his studies And with Caesar climbs mountains steep He rarely talks, but he thinks much, And they say, Still water runs deep . A newly acquired peppy mate, Who has proved to our class a. boon, Who is ever gay and when skies are grey Grabs her uke and plays us a tune. Is Erma whose been with the class two years She has helped us in many a way, In the fields of athletics and music She's delighted us all day by day. , To the members of the faculty Who stopped our conversation Who took our gum and spoiled our fun We tender our appreciation. About myself, I'll nothing sayg There's nothing I ever did The readers would like to hear about, So, Au Revoir - Florence Williams.

With almost a feeling of trepidation the class of '28 entered the portals of Liberty High School as twenty-three Freshmen. The class motto sounded a challenge for lofty ideals and tenacity of purpose which we accepted as a goal for literary, scholastic, social and physical develop- ment. - The various instructors from year to year have been unfailingly kind and helpful in assisting us to attain our final fixed purpose. As Freshmen we had several members in the school Operetta. Honors in the Short Story Inter-class Contest were carried off by Helen Skaggs, who also placed in the County Literary Contest, and second in De- claiming was taken by Blanche Goistg we kept up our usual daily class room efficiency: and contributed two members each to basketball and football teams. As Sophomores our personnel had changed somewhat, yet the spirit of the class was undaunted. Our girls starred in athletics with Olive Harker and Velma King THE LIBERTY ORACLE placing on Varsity Teamg and Susie, Blanch, Mary Louise, Marie, and Helen Weirman composing the Reserves. Velma King was honored with membership in the athletic council. The boys, not to be outdone, contributed Russel Stephenson to the Varsity and Fred Hanley to the Reserves in basketball, with Fred, Russel and Eugene to football. In track the girls gave a good account of themselvesg Minnie Paul placing in several events with King a close second. The class was represented in the school Operetta by Sophia Janosik and contributed its full quota to the.Glee Club and the School Orchestra. U . As Juniors we number but sixteen, yet we Aim high and hang on . The class still maintains its high standard ot classroom competency having fthe highest percentage on the honor rolll with honorees numbering from one, at least, to six each six weeks period. In the Inter Class Literary Contest, Blanche again won second place in Declaiming. Nine of the twelve girls in the class are members of the girls glee club which has furnished music for school entertainments and participated in the county Music Day Program. At least half the members of the class have had special training in Public Speaking, quite a number being members of The Literary Stage Craft Club and doing creditable work there. The class Play June was one of the big events of the year, all members working in unison for its success. In athletics the class again contributed its full share: giving Fred, Russel, George and Pete to football: Fred and Russel to Varsity Basket- ball and Pete and George to Reserves. Velma fcaptainl, Olive and Susie made the Varsity Basketball Team with Helen Weirman and Marion on Reserves. The Junior girls won the Inter Class Basketball Championship and were quite hilarious over their valor. The culminating Social event of the year was the Banquet given by the Juniors to the Seniors at the Nel-Mor Tea Room as final expression of homage, goodwill, and best wishes, When school opens next September the class will again assemble as Seniors to Finish the task and keep the Faith .

We entered Liberty High School on September, 1925 as a class of 25 Freshmen with a little more courage than some of the preceding classes. To be sure we were aware of the fact that high school was a new enterprise but we were willing to do our best. We took part in the events of the school year having Mildred Grapentine, Rose Maggs and Ursula Thomas out for basketball. Earl Geiger and Myron Berlin took up football, but Earl, Pete had his leg broken and had to quit. Ruth Maggs, Rose Maggs and Dorothy Boyd entered the ora-torlcal contest and Rose Maggs won second in Declaiming, Several of our class were placed on the honor roll throughout the year. We held several interesting parties. Back again to dear old L. H. S. but this time as Sophomores. We number sixteen but we are still looking into the future with hope and expectation. But lo! death has claimed one of our number. Mary Vinson was taken from our class on November 17,1926. We have missed her very THE LIBERTY ORACLE much for she was one of our helpmates. We were represented in Girl's Athletics by Mildred Grapentine, who has been on the first team two years and Arlene Post, sent to us from Cortland. Myron Berlin, Earl Geiger, John McLellan and Jack Wissinger participated in the athletics for the boys. Arlene Post was a member of the L. H. S. debate team. The girls of our class were members of the glee club and Dramatic club. We had classmates entering track and classmates in the honor roll. .Thus having finished another successful year and we will continue our voyage as Juniors in the fall.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1926 we set out on our cruise through High School with twenty-two students strong. We sailed along very slowly at first, but as the term progressed, we doubled our effors that we might reach the port successfully. There were dark days for all of us, to be shre, but the clouds would all expose their silver linings at length, and we would be sailing smooth- ly again. One particular obstacle that blocked our path was the first semester exams. We feared complete defeat, but the veil lifted and two came out victorious by exemptiong namely, Lawrence Allison and Esther Hafely. To brighten up these days of gloom, came the weekly assemblies. They were enjoyed by all, each doing his part. Our teachers were: Miss Flora Curtis, who taught Latin, English and Domestic Science, Miss Mildred Powers, Business English: .Miss Helen Ebinger, Algebrag Mr. Noble, General Science, Mr. Denny, Manual THE LIBERTY ORACLE Training. Mr. Carter, too, is worthy of mention for he has proved to be a fine leader for each of us. In March the Oratorical Contest was held in the schools of the county. Our class seemed to be very much interested in it, having six to enter tliepreliminary. In this we received first and second places in the short story division. Our cruise, considered as a whole, was successful. We all hope to greet you as Sophomores next year. - Esther Hafely. CLASS OFFICERS. President ,..,.... Vice President Secretary ..... L ........

LITERARY THE CHILDREN TOIL. Since the founding of the nation fairplay has become, in the eyes of the world, the keynote of American character. The constitution emphasizes this ideal of fairplay by promising to each individual equal opportunites in their pursuit for happiness. It is no wonder then that most people are repelled and incensed over the condition of many hun- dreds of thousands of children who are spending their precious years of childhood in toil, toil under conditions which are intensely degrading to both their physical and moral welfare. We believe that children have an inherent right to their childhood. They have a right to be free, to enjoy their playtime, they have a right to THE LIBERTY ORACLE be happy. These privileges are necessarily denied to them when they are compelled, from sunrise until darkness, to toil in the mills and factories and on the farms under conditions that not only dwarf them physically, but forever blight their mentality. Approximately one-fourth of the people in the United States are illiterate. An irreparable injury is done to childhood and to the American people when such a condition is allowed to exist, in a nation which is so far a.head of other nations of the world in all refining elements of civilization. This educational inferiority is indeed refugnant to the American understanding affair play, and yet it exists. Until recent years people did not see tha this illiteracy was directly due to the shame-' ful abuse of childhood privileges, and to the lack of time allowed the child for study. But at last the people have been aroused against these evils, and have begun to take measures for the abolishment of this un- fair appression. Convincing evidence of fact is found in the engergetic efforts which have been made during the last decade for the betterment of labor conditions and for the relief of the child. It has been thought that all attempts toward remedying these conditions should be made throughout the Federal Government, since all but two of the states have theoretically prohibited child labor up to the age of fourteen. But in many states there is not provision for the protection of children between the ages of fourteen and eighteen from longworking hours and dangerous and unhealthful occupations, The first attempt to remedy the lack of protection against the ex- ploitation of children was made in 1915 when Congress passed a law preventing the use in interstate commerce of all articles made by children. In 1918 this law was repealed by the Supreme Court on the ground that it was unconstitutional. Another attempt was made in 1919, at which time Congress attempted to put a tax on all products of the quarries, mines, and factories Where child1'en were employed. Again the Supreme Court, by decision, ruled that this was an illegal use of the taxing power given in the constitution. Undaunted by these two failures, the proponents of Federal restriction on child labor undertook to bring restriction about by constitutional amendment. On June 2, 1924.Congress proposed to the several states the following amendment: The Congress shall have power to limit, regulate, or prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age. The power of the several states is unirnpaired by this article except that the operation of state laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to give effect to legislation emanted by the congress. Since being submitted to the several states for ratification it has had a very rough road to travel. More than two-thirds have refused to accept it, It is very apparent that the opposition to the amendment is not sectional, since states in every part of the Union have rejected it. In this opposition we see arrayed all the forces of greed, avariee, and heartlessness, for the purpose of defeating all efforts for the relief of these unfortunae children. Foremost among these are the un- scrupulous rich men and factory owners, who are bent on increasing their wealth by subjecting millions of children to long hours of toil THE LIBERTY ORACLE under the most terrible conditions and without a thought to the effect upon the children. In Ohio this amendment was voted down by a large majority in the legislature, seemingly in accord with the public will. The reason given for the action, of the legislature was that in Ohio the children are properly protected, both as to working conditions and in their schooling. This is indeed true. But are we not bigger than Ohio? Have we not learned long ago that we are brother's keeper? Because we are fortunate enough to live in a favored spot where our boys and girls have the fullest opportunities of life, is no reason why we should be unconcerned when hundreds of thousands of children in the cotton fields, the rice fields, and the tobacco fields of the South, in the sugar beet fields of the West, and in the sweat shops and factories of the city are being robbed of' their birth-right, their bodies dwarfed and stunted, their mental capacities lessened, and their hopes in life blasted. In the twentieth century, we ought to be big enough and generous enough to wish the children of the South-land and of the West and of the large cities in our country to enjoy the same privileges and to have the same opportunities in their work and in their school as have the children of Ohio. We are not surprised at the opposition of the factory owner, of the slave driver of the South, or of the unscrupulous rich. But we are surprised that the legislature of our state could be so narrow in its view point. We are surprised that an organization like the Ohio State Grange should fight this amendment with such viviousness and slander. and then, when it was evident that the amendment had been defeated, that it should glory in the defeat of the proposition that meant life, liberty, and hope to millions of little children in the grapples of penury and toil. We should like to remind the factory owner, the officials of the grange, and the opponents of this amendment every-where, of that verse of scripture that was uttered by the master when He said, In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me. And also of mother warning that says: He that offends one of these little ones, it were drowned in the midst of the sea. But the fight is on and it will not be quited. The cry of these millions of little ones sounds above the roar of the factory, The forces of Justice and rightiousness will fight on until the children of the South, of the West, and of the city shall have life and have it more abundantly. GEORGE HILL, '27. Tl-IE WHITE WOLF. Long, long ago in the northeastern part of Ohio was a small hamlet, called Tacoma. It was surrounded by a. dense forest. It had been partially deserted, for the inhabitants had been terrorized by what they thought was a large animal. Only a few aged couples lived tl1-ere at that time. These gave the following reason why they would not leave. We have been born and raised here, so we are going to spend the rest of our lives here too. THE LIBERTY ORACLE In this village lived an aged couple who were considered very wealthy. They were blessed with one son who was married and lived in a near-by town. His mind was so engrossed with his position that he rarely found an opportunity to visit his parents. Whenever he did spend a brief time with them, he usually came over the week-end. On this particular occasion when he came to visit his parents what did he find but his parents lying cold in death side by side on the floor. They had been dead for three days. The son was so frightened at this sight that he immediately drove back to his home town to obtain help. On his return he brought two expert detectives who set to work at once to solve the mystery. No mark of violence could be found on the bodies, but, after close examina- tion, a tiny cross was found upon each breast. Several plans were considered as to the means that would be used to capture the assailant. It was finally decided to permit the son to remain in his parents' home to keep watch the following night. The son was in favor of this plan because he had suggested it in the first place. He could not be induced to do otherwise. The two detectives were very eager to learn what had taken place during the night of the son's vigil. They were both on duty at sun- rise the following morning. When they arrived on the scene, they found everything very quiet. They, fearing foul play to the son, peeked in the bedroom window. To their horror they beheld the lifeless body of the son. Upon closer examination the detectives found upon his breast tl1e same mark that had been upon those of his parents. By this time the whole neighborhood was in a high fever of excitement. The people all joined with the detectives to scout the forests near Tacoma. Just on the verge of what they thought was a. fruitless search, a cave was discovered by one of the party. Then they all came together, armed more heavily than fefore, and advanced toward the cave, To their disappointment no one was to be found therein. They departed with the intention of observing the situation closely. For more than a week they watched. Then one night they heard something bark. It sounded much like a dog's bark. The detectives went in search of the source of the noise but found nothing. The next night the same sound was heard again. This time it sounded more like a man imitating an animal. Soon they caught sight of a large animal running toward the forest. They gave chase but returned empty-handed. On the tenth day of their search they saw smoke issuing from the crevices of the cave. The detectives hastened to the cavern, entered, and were about to give up in despair when they discovered a secret en- trance which led to another apartment of the cave. The head officers entered this secret chamber and espied their prey crouching behind a huge boulder. To their surprise they had captured a white man of gigantic size. Close by was a wolf's skin in which he disguised himself when he would leave the cave. He showed all signs of great anger at first but was quickly subdued. Treasures, unspeakable, together with the fortunes of the aged couple, were found in this secret chamber. Valuables were unearthed that brought to light many daring robberies that had been committed in and THE LIBERTY ORACLE around Taofoma. Many vials of deadly poison and numerous needles were also found. The needles resembled hypodermic needles which were later found to have been used by the crazed man to inject poisons into the bodies of his victims. This method caused instant death as it did in the case of the aged couple and their son. Having solved the mystery now, the officers turned their attention to the criminal. He was bound and spirited away to jail, A torturing or lynching death was talked of since the people of the neighborhood were blood-thirsty. One thing they determined was that the expense of a trial was not going to be considered for such an outlaw. His actions quickly pointed out what steps were to be taken. Upon receiving a medical examination he was pronounced mentally deficient. His object in committing such hideous crimes was' that he found pleasure in seeking human blood and in storing up treasures. His case, being of such long standing was said by the attending physicians, to be incurable. He died a raving maniac's death a few weeks later.

The Palmer system of business writing was installed last year and noticeable improvement in penmanship followed very shortly. In the art department the pupils not only work in crayons, water colors, cut papers, etc., but they study famous masterpieces and learn something about the artists who have produced them.

SPORTS ARE GOOD FOR MIND AND BODY. Before the start of the football season of 1923 an athletic department was organized at Liberty High school with L. L. Carter as the athletic director. By careful development and a well organized system, Liberty High school has been able to compete with the best athletic teams in northeastern Ohio. , h The athletic council is composed of the athletic director, the princi- pal of the school, coaches, and captains of all the teams that represent the school. 'l'he purpose of the council is to act on all problems that arise in regard to athletics. THE LIBERTY ORACLE FOOTBALL 1926 Schedule Liberty 0 ...,, ,7....,.. S harpsville 24 Liberty 6 ..,..

This is no doubt the reason for the team's poor showing, the lack of material. The season opened at Sharpsville on a warm Saturday afternoon in September. The Sharpsville team out-weighed Carter's crew. But the team fought to the end, bowing to a 24-0 defeat. This defeat made the team feel that they needed more practice and they took a new interest in the sport. They came back a new fighting machine and went against Boardman at Liberty. The first half of the game had Liberty on the defense as Boardman was kicking with the wind. But in the third period Liberty scored after a 40-yard run had been made by one of her backs. From that point on Liberty kept Boardman on the defense trying to stop Liberty from scoring again and the game ended 6-0 in favor of Liberty. In the Niles game Liberty showed their true form in holding the Niles tea.m to a 7Q0 win. The team loses Captain 0'Neil, Jeffries, Bortmas, Hetrick, Hill and Moore by Graduation.

It surely raised our hopes to find that they were to be with us again for at least one more streneous season. It was not long however before it was apparent that among the new candidates .were several that show- ed exceptional ability and gave promise of waging a strong battle for a regular position. During the year 1926-27 we enjoyed a successful season winning 12 of 15 games played. Among the games were several especially worthy of mention, one being the Alumni game which was won by the varsity 29-12. In the T. I. A. Tournament we first eliminated Bloomfield 30-10, but were beaten by Howland in a real thriller. At the end of the first half we were leading by a margin of 1 point, but in the final minutes of play Howland spurted overcoming our lead and won by a score 23-16. We are sorry to state that several dependable regulars will not be with us next season as Gertrude Bickell, Florence Williams, and Eva Darling graduates this year. Their loss will be keenly felt but we wish them every success in life. We wish to express our appreciation to the teachers, students, and general public for the fine spirit shown and especially extend our thanks to our Coach Miss M. C. Fowler who has shared our victories and defeats with us. VELMA KING Liberty 23 .... - ...... 1 ........ -.- .... Hartford 15 Liberty 25 ...... Brookfield 14 Liberty 10 .... ...........

THE LIBERTY ORACLE PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is so organized at the Liberty School that each student has an opportunity to take part in games that will bring about a normal development. The interest in physical education is a feature of the general conservation movement that has aroused the American people in recent years. Surely there is no greater National resource than the health and physical vigor of the people. The fundamental purposes of physical education at the Liberty school are: 1. Better sanitary and hygienic conditions in school buildings. 2. Medical inspection, with adequate remedy for individual physical defects. 3. Instruction in personal and public hygiene. 4. Physical training as a means of physical development. Play is nature's way of developing the nervous and muscular me- chanisms of the body, ' MANUAL TRAINING The Manual training room is one of the busiest places in the school. Products of this department won first place at the Trumbull County Fair in 1925 and in 1926 they were even better. It is the aim of the department to train the boys to manipulate tools and materials with as much precision and just as readily as they can use words and figures. Manual training is also designed to make better consumers of the boys who take it. HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics is one of the popular departments in Liberty High school where they believe that all the arts relating to the home and its efficiency and all the sciences which are applied to home making should form an important part of school work. The course includes, selection, preparation and use of food, of clothing, and of shelter, household management and the care of the family and children. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The curriculum of the Commercial Department consists of Business Arithmetic, Beginning and Advanced Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Type- writing, Economics and Office Practice. In Business Arithmetic, the essentials of modern business practice are presented. The students aim for a high degree of accuracy and facility in computation. P The disciplinary and the cultural value of Bookkeeping is emphasized. Great stress is laid upon accuracy, the ability to manage details without THE LIBERTY ORACLE getting lost, neatness, doing things in a systematic way and developing the power of concentration. Bookkeeping aids in developing the, power of logical reasoning, of analyzing facts, and weighing evidence. The Gregg System of Shorthand is taught, On completing the second year, the students are able to take fast dictation and transcribe it rapidly and accurately. To receive credit in Typewriting, a student must write at least thirty net words a minute during the first year and at least forty net words a minute during the second year. Office practice is given to commercial students in the school store room and in the Superintendenfs office. LIBERTY PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President .. ..........e . ....... Mr. 'Thayer Wood Vice President .. ,,,..... ....,.. M r. L. L. Carter Secretary-Treasurer ...,.......................,,......................,,..................... Flora Curtis For the last three years Liberty School ha.s had an active Parent- Teachers Association, the aim for which has been to bring about a mut- ual good understanding and cooperaion between the home and school. Meetings have been held on the second Tuesday evening of each month. Interesting programs have been given by pupils of all the grades Well known speakers from this vicinity have addressed several of the meetings too. To stimulate interest and increase the attendance. A P. T. A. Attendance Banner has been given for a month to the room having the highest per cent of attendance of parents. The boys and girls were eager to have this banner in their grade. Liberty Parent-Teacher Association was hostess to the County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations of Trumbull County in Septem- ber. In October three delegates were sent to Marietta, Ohio to attend the state convention of the Parent-Teacher Associations. This year the Association sponsored two entertainments one by the VVright Entertainers the other by the Lowellville M. E. Church. The organization also served a dinner to the County School Board members who met here inthe fall. In looking ahead the association sees for its work the conduct of pre-school physcical examinations and then, a little later, participation in the state convention, which will be held in our own county, at Warren, this fall. -MISS CURTIS THE LIBERTY ORACLE JOKES Miss Ebinger: Myron, what's all the attraction back in that corner?
