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.

Q if 1353 THE 1930 LITERARY CONTEST Poland High School was ably represented in the Mahoning County Literary Contest held Friday evening, March fourteenth. With Todd Brownlee winning the gold medal for first place in the orations at Poland, the rest of the band ventured to the other contests, each of the contestants returning with a medal. The. literary contest was also an inter-class contest within the high school. The Senior class led the others with six points. Lucille Paulin took first place in the essay contest at Fitch High School and Edith Emch won third place in the short story contest at Goshen High School. Todd Brownlee represented the Juniors winning five points for them by his success at Poland. Clarabell Walker won second prize in the readings at Boardman, bringing three points to the Freshmen. Winning fourteen of a possible twenty points brought to Poland High School the beautiful banner given to the school winning most points. This is the first of many literary banners which Poland hopes to have hung on her walls and we of Poland are justly proud of our team which brought the banner to Poland. By winning the first place in the orations, Todd Brownlee becomes the representative of Mahoning County in the contest to be held soon at Kent for schools of northeastern Ohio. Todd is determined to return home with nothing less than first prize in this contest. After his victory at Poland we feel certain that he will succeed. -Helen Walker, '3O. OUT OF A FOG One morning not long ago as 'I stepped out the door I suddenly found myself in a dense fog. My senses were at once involuntarily sharpened, my eyes straining to see just a little farther while my ears were more atten- tive than at any other time. My nerves were put on edge. My whole
