l-928 THF RIDGF MIRROR 113251 1 s f 4 l CLASS POEM Our high school duties are almost done And we recall the hours of Work and fun Yet we pause, and linger here For 'tis sad to part with comrades dear. With saddened hearts we recall The good old days of early fall. When we returned to old familiar scenes, The hours were minutes then, it seems. We hail commencement, but with a thrill of sadness For parting dulls our joy and gladness. And September no more will mark our returning To books and teachers, to get our learning. New paths are before us, and unfamiliar ways. New Lessons and new problems will fill our days But classmates let us pause, before we say goodbye And shout aloud our praises, for Mineral Ridge Hi. Time can never destroy the memory of each year That we have spent in work and pleasure here. What our futures will be, no one can tell. Teachers and comrades, we bid you, Farewell. Bern ice Williams Twenly-one

ll-1928 THE RIDGE MIRROR 19 8llil lL 1-lll AN AEROPLANE FLIGHT T WAS a bright September day when we hopped off on our four years journey through High School in our newly constructed Plane, Mineral Ridge High School. There were twenty-eight passengers boarded the Plane, which was flying blue and white colors. Our first few days were very dull until Mrs. Hall suggested that we organizea Girl's Glee Club. All the girls took part in this and our journey was brightened. The boys had nothing to do. not being interested in the Glee Club. so Mr. Wohlgamuth suggested basket-ball lo them. The girls, too, were interested in basket-ball so Mrs. Webb and Mr. Wohlgamuth organized the girls and boys basket-ball teams. We were successful in both glee club and basket-ball. When the basket-hall season drew to a close, the girls organized a volley-ball team and the boys a base-ball team. We again proved that we had stars in our class. Now it was time to give our movie stars a show, by giving our class play The Little Politician, under the direction of Mrs. Hall. We have been the only class to present a Freshman Class play. in the four years of high school. We being the only class in the high school no one except our teachers knew how Green we were. As seven of our passengers wished to leave us we landed at the Sophomore field, in the spring of 1925. We remained here for three months. Much to our regret our pilot, Mrs. Hall, left us. ln September 1925 we again entered our Plane. Mineral Ridge High School, with our new pilot. Mr. Stuckert. This year Marion Lynn was elected class president. We again organized our basket-ball teams. We had a record of which very few classes can boast. The basket-ball teams were made up entirely of Sophomores. Again several of our gi1'ls were stars in volley-ball. The boys enjoyed baseball. We landed in the Junior field in the Spring of 1926 where we remained for three months. We all enjoyed our vacation very much. The following September 1926, when our Plane was ready. we hopped off' againi, with seventeen passengers. Again we had a new pilot, Mr. Taylor. Mary Daley was selected president. Mr. Evans was selected as our class advisor and soon became our friend. Our journey was rather dull until Mr. Taylor suggested that we organize two liter- ary societies. Mary Daley and Marion Lynn were chosen captains of these societies. The programs were given in the form of contests. Our movie stars again showed their ability when they presented the class play 'Tickle Fortune. At last we reached our long looked-forward-to-landing-the Senior field. After three months of leisure we again returned to our good Plane which was still flying blue and white colors. Twenly-lwo
