24 THE PIONEER J tn Ike S A SURGEON NEEDED A Scotchman called up the doctor in great agitation. Come at once! he said. Ma wee child has swallowed a sax- pence! How old is it? asked the doctor. H1894-I replied the canny Scot. 1-.l.i. The country lady was not used to rail travel and pestered the con- ductor a good deal. Finally she asked: Are you sure the train will stop if you pull that rope? Oh yes, mam. Well, how does it work? You see, the other end is around the engineer's neck. Remember, Bridget, said a woman to the new maid, there are just two things I insist on-truthfulness and obedience. Yes, mum, was the reply: and when yez tell me to tell the callers that yez be out, when yer in, which do yez prefa'er-troothfulness or obedience? l Won't you walk as far as the street car with me, Tommy? I can't. Why not? 'Cause we're going to have supper as soon as you go. l. Father and mother were discussing the costumes they were to wear at a fancy dress ball. Joan, aged seven, was an interested listener. Mother, she said, can I go as a mi1kmaid? H Q n No, dear, you re too small. But, mummief' pleaded Joan, I could go as a condensed milk- maid. .i-.1 Harriet, a four-year-old, listened intently to the grown-up folks. talking about a Loan Exhibition.

T H E P I o N E E R 23 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY One beautiful morning in September of 1926 we entered the portals of Poland High School to begin our high school career. It took us several weeks to get accustomed to the daily routine of high school. Nevertheless we were determined to survive. Of course we Worked like all good Freshmen do because it was our first experience. We ranked well in athletics and in class Work. With a combination of these and social activities we finished our freshman year. In the fall of 1927 we returned to make our sophomore year better in every respect. We organized our class with Lester Smith as president. That year we were very successful in athletics with a representation of three girls in the Mahoning County Basketball tournament which our school Won. Our class was ably represented in the literary contest also. And so the second year passed swiftly away with half of our high school life gone. As Juniors We raised our standards and became one of the lead- ing factors in the success of our school. We had plenty of Work brightened by social affairs. At the close of the year was held the Junior-Senior ban- quet, a big affair to us. At last we are dignified Seniors of Poland High School and members of the class of '30, the third and largest to graduate from the new building. This year has been the most significant of our high school career. Our class had a splendid representation in the Mahoning County Girls Basket- ball Tournament Which Poland won. The captains, Virginia Austin and Edith Emch, were both from our class as was Lucille Logan. We were also well represented in the literary contest which our school Won. Lucille Paulin won first place in the essay contest and Edith Emch Won third in the short story contest. With this record and our appreciation to the faculty and all those who helped to make school life the success we believe it to be, We come to the close of our history in high school and are ready to face the hard- ships of the great World before us. --Martha Hickok, 30.
