T H E P 1 o N E E R 11 THE JUNIOR CLASS REPORT On September third, a crew of twenty-seven Juniors set sail upon the ocean of education. They embarked upon a long voyage under the direct care of Mr. Heed, their class sponsor, and under the supervision of Mr. Barton. It took but a short time for all to find their sea-legs and occasional storms arising in the form of long assignments, theses, and various contests, were weathered successfully while but few of the crew had attacks of seasickness. At this stage of the journey the Juniors look back with approval upon the events that have gone before and feel that much has been done in advancing toward both the perfect physical and mental goals. In the basketball tournament two of our girls distinguished themselves. Mary Moore won a place on the all-county second team and Nildy Anderson won honorable mention. Ashley Lyons received honorable mention on the boys team. Then Todd Brownlee took first place in the orations in the literary contest. To further secure their position the Juniors have been making a better average in class work than the other classes. Helen Olson won third place in the high school spelling contest. We have a joyful prospect of giving a merry farewell to Seniors in the form of a banquet or some other enjoyable affair. Let us all wish the Seniors much success! -Anna Marie Sofranec, '3l. SOPHOMORE CLASS REPORT When we attained the dignity of Sophomores we threw off our child- ish acts of verdancy UD and resolved to settle down and study hard as befits our position. Our aim is to make this and the years to come better in the sight of all. Under the guidance of Mr. Lindman, our class adviser, we have progressed to a great extent. Our class has contributed generously to the school enterprises. Mary Cubbison, Ben Billings and Julia Cover have helped in many things where art was needed. In basketball eight girls and eight boys came to prac- tice while four of each were on the squads. We are also proud to say that two of the cheer leaders are from the Sophomore class. We regret the loss of two of our members, Theodore McCoy and Marshall Brose, who left us recently, but with this regret we also have the pleasure of the association of two who came to us last semester, Helen Jones and Gottlieb Myers. At the class election Charles Haessly was chosen for president, Julia Cover for secretary, and Virginia Raysor, treasurer. -Martha Schlingman, '32. Making highways forty feet wide wouldn't change things much, ex- cept that buses would expand to thirty-eight feet.

T H E P 1 o N E E R 13 FRESHMAN REPORT At the first meeting of the class of '33 in the fall of '29 with Mrs. McBride as class adviser, the following officers were elected for our Freshman year: President, Watson Boyer: vice president, Clarabell Walker: secretary and treasurer, Gale Oles. These officers with the co- operation of the other members of our group hope to make the class of '33 one of the most outstanding that has ever entered Poland High. We sin- cerely regret that two of our members, Gale Oles and William Billy Kanengeiser, were forced to leave us at the beginning of the second term. For Freshmen we feel that we leave some contributions to the high school achievements. Alice Giering, one of our representatives on the girls basketball team, made a name for herself on the championship team. Clarabell Walker, our literary representative, also achieved an honor on the high school literary team. Our ambition is that four years from now we may graduate, as a class, every member present: that we may be able to look back on our high school days as the happiest and busiest of our lives. and last but not least, that we may say that Poland High is proud of us. -Clark Millikan, '33. THE PIONEER With the discontinuance of the Mahoning Messenger, Poland High School was left without a means of expression for its school activities. The members of the Senior class felt there should be a school paper of some sort and as a result they are publishing the Pioneer, our first all- Poland school annual. The name Pioneer was chosen by the Annual staff from several names submitted by the pupils of the school. The name was submitted by Harold McCrone. The name Pioneer is a fitting name in two respects. The word pioneer is defined as the one who goes ahead clearing the Way for others. In the first place it represents the village of Poland which was one of the first in this section to be settled, at one time being larger than Youngs- town. Poland was long ago known for its pioneering in the educational field. William McKinley's father moved his family to Poland because of its educational facilities. On the other hand the name is representative of the Senior class for they have gone ahead and cleared the way for others in publishing this annual. We hope that they have cleared the way for bigger and better annuals in the coming years. AN APPRECIATION I We. the staff of The Pioneer, wish especially to extend to Mr. Lindman our most sincere thanks for his kind co-operation with us in the editing of our annual.
