History and Civics. page five SALEM HIGH SCHOOL, 1896-1916 This building has been the pride of Salem since 1896, Well it may be, for it presents a splendid appearance and its location could scarcely be better. While the high school was still quite small, it was not so impractical to con- duct both high school and grade work in the same building. But as our numbers have grown from year to year, the de- mand for more room has increased, until today both high school and grades are badly over-crowded. When that fine auditorium filled one end of the upper hall, there was even more reason to be proud of the high school, for an auditorium is almost indispensable in conducting the modern school system. But since it became necessary, on account of condemnation, to break it up into school rooms, one of the best features of the building has been lost. There is no opportunity to arrange another auditor- ium here, while a gymnasium, adequate domestic science rooms, and manual training shops are also seriously needed. So although we are looking forward, happily to a more modern building, it is not without some regret that we shall abandon this building to be used as a grade building, and move into our new quarters on Garfield Avenue. page six PQge seven R.

We believe that this programme, kindly entrusted to our use, will be of in- terest to many Salem people. Besides this part of the programme, there was a fine concert in the evening. This was the second class to be graduated, but it was in the thirteenth year of Salem High School. page thirtg one page thirty-two THE QUAKER’’ STAFF EDITORIAL Our purpose in publishing the “Quak- er” is to give a true picture of the inner life of Salem High Schoolt as we have known it. For the past few years, we have spent a large part of our time in school. As an expression of what those years have meant to us, as a lasting re- membrance of them, we publish this An- nual. Many years ago, statesmen learned that a democracy must be based on a high standard of citizenship. We cannot have a high standard of citizenship without the education of the masses. The high school is a very important branch of our educa- tional system. One of the primary ob- jects of the curriculum is to teach the pupil to think logically and independ- ently, another object is to develop his individuality. Yet another object is to give him a broader outlook upon life. His physical development is also im- portant. When the gymnasium in the new building is ready, more attention can be given to physical education. During our four years, there has been a special development in a new direction. Literary work has been given a more im- portant place in the course and increased attention has been paid to public speak- ing, Debating has called forth this new interest which is a very essential parr of a pupil’s training and the development along these lines has been marked. Domestic Science and Manual Training have also broadened the curriculum. These branches offer a practical knowl- edge which is especially useful. Many parents have hesitated to send a child to high school, saying that he would never use his education, because he had no in- clination for teaching or professional work. Of course this was a mistaken idea, because, no matter what position a person may fill in future life, an education will always make him fill that position more efficiently. But never-the-less, the addition of Domestic Science and Manual Training offers something tangible which every girl and boy can use in the future. The equipment of the new building will also offer more facilities along this line. Logical independent thinking, encour- aged individuality, a broad viewpoint, physical development, training in public speaking, a knowledge of the science of the home and the knowledge of the use of tools cannot but fit the pupil to become a better citizen. To us, as we finish our course, the high school seems to be one of the most im- portant institutions in our nation, since it is making possible a continual develop- ment toward our ideal, democracy. Ella T. Smith. page thirty three EDITORIAL The Business management of the “Quaker wishes to thank the school and the citizens of Salem for their cordial support, financial and otherwise. A good Annual is an excellent advertisement tor a high school and consequently for a city. Salem High School should not lag behind in the quality of her Annual. It should improve yearly as experience is gained. This we believe it has done. One of the most serious difficulties in the way of a successful Annual is the financial question. This gives the Man- agement no little trouble. Our expenses are very heavy. We have the printing, the engraving and the photographs. Our Annual is printed on the best paper, we use only the highest grade of photos and we employ one of the best engravers in this part of the state. Therefore it can he easily seen that our total debt runs up to very near the half thousand mark. To pay this we must depend on, first, the sale of Annuals; second, the advertisements; and third, the money collected from groups and classes. With this income it requires skillful handling to come out with all debts paid. This year, for the first time, we have asked the various classes and groups, whose pictures we have published, to pay part of the cost of Engraving and Print- ing. This suggestion met with imme- diate and generous response from nearly every quarter. To these classes and groups we desire to express our thanks. We think that this is a fair proposition and that it should be incorporated as a regular feature of the Annual. We have enjoyed publishing the “Quaker,” and if we are enabled, thru the generosity of our advertisers and of those who have bought the “Quaker” to emerge from our first real business ven- ture free of debt, we will be more than thankful. The business management also wishes to thank the business manager of last year’s Annual, Mr. Leon G. Henault, s 15. for his valuable suggestions and helps. It is very hard for a person, un- acquainted with the problems of manag- ing such books as the ‘Quaker, to “learn the ropes” and the help accorded by Mr. Henault is certainly appreciated. Chester L. Smith. page thing-four NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING A DEDICATION Ladies and Gentlemen :—We are as- sembled here this afternoon to dedicate this fine structure for the purpose of fur- thering the education of the boys and girls of Salem and vicinity. The words said here today will soon be forgotten, but each individual will al- ways remember what benefits he received from the school, and the school will never forget what he did for it. Often we hear one lamenting that he never had the opportunity of a high school education, but that now is within the grasp of every boy and girl. For this reason it behooves everyone to absorb all the learning available in his youth. The day is only breaking when the lack of such an education will he dearly paid for by the failure of one's life. The students who study here should be inspired by this great occasion. They should, when noting the progress made by the school system during the last twenty years, resolve to do their part to make its progress in the next few years greater than ever. Most high school graduates acknowl- edge that they have just begun to realize how little they know. Each high school student should aspire then to gain this realization as soon as possible, and make up his mind to pursue the work he has taken up to the best of his ability.

Since then the member- ship has increased rapidly until now it numbers near seventy-five. Every two weeks a part of the after- noon is given to the society. At such times, programs of readings, essays, ex- temporaneous speeches, and debates are given.

The pro- ceeds of the play went to the Senior Class. The following Monday afternoon it was given before the student body. “Als verlobte Enipfehlen Sich” is a comedy in one act. Franz von Grumbach, a university student, while at the home of his aunt preparing for examinations, falls deeply in love with his cousin. Mal- vine The two young people find study- ing burdensome and spend most of their time at other things They decide that the governess, Adelaide, much too watch- ful and efficient, must be removed in some way. Franz, whose friend is a printer, has the engagement of the gov- erness to the steward, Langerhaus, an- nounced in a single copy of the local newspaper. The engagement comes as a great shock to both, but after some difficulty they succeed in righting things, and de- cide, rather than stand the taunts of their friends, that they will let the announce- ment go and pretend they announced it themselves. At last, they learn the cir- cumstances, but net until they realize that they have been in love for ten years. The disagreeable governess and the steward are thus removed. Franz de- cides to take the place of steward and as- sumes his position immediately, making needless the dreaded examinations.

Many times at plays, exercises, and other functions, its stirring music has added wonderfully to the occasion. At the de- bate, held in the Methodist Church this year, our orchestra fairly outdid itself and the audience was loud in its praises of the musicians. The orchestra is not as large as it was last year. It is made up of only one girl and four boys. Nevertheless, the music which they provide is of the highest qual- ity. An orchestra cannot be a medium one. It is either very good or very bad. We are proud to say that ours is a good one. By graduation we shall lose our leader, James Thomas, and Vera Cole. Both will be missed, but no doubt material will be found to take their places.

The ]915 football season brought both pleasure and sorrow to S. H. S. The team was one of the best we have had in many years but it was handicapped by injuries and what we might call genuine hard luck. Under the watchful eye of our most efficient coach, Mr. Herbert Pritchard, the football recruits began training for the hard campaign on Sept. 8, the first day of school. The season opened at Reilley Field with S. H. S. playing the strong Mas- sillon High team. The game was fast throughout but Massillon's wonderful offense gave the Red and Black the short end of a 7 to 0 score, The second game was with Raven H. S. of Youngstown, Salem outclassed Raven at all times but we were not able to cross their goal line and so the game ended in a 0 to 0 score. The team then journeyed to Wells- ville, conquered to the tune of 20 to 0. and returned jubilant over the first victor} of the year. Akron Central furnished the next puz- zle for Coach Pritchard’s squad, and in the best game of the season defeated S. H, S. 9 to 7. Two weeks later the defenders of tile Red and Black invaded East Liverpool. Amid much excitement they captured the County Championship from the Crockery City lads. Score 26 to 7. The next week Youngstown South visited Salem and defeated us 7 to 0, During the following week Captain Baillie received injures which kept him out of the game for two weeks. Although we missed our star fullback and line plunger we won the next two games. We won at Canal Dover with the score of 28 to 7 and at home 7 to 0 against Cuya- hoga Falls. The annual Thanksgiving game with Alliance High found S. H. S. in a crip- pled condition. Captain Baillie, E. Read, Kelly, and Willaman were all suffering from injuries. Nevertheless we will not make excuses along this line for S. H. S, takes her defeats gamely and does not boast of her victories. Our team played desperately but to no avail. We suffered the worst defeat of tlie season. And so the season ended. With the graduation of the class of T6 the Red and Black loses the greater part of her 1915 squad. Baillie, Willaman, L Read, Mvers, Cruiksliank, Whinnery, Ha- gan, Logan, Killie, Hutson, Matthews and England will be graduated. The men will be missed but we hope that next fall material will be found, that can be molded into a team well worthy to uphold the honor of “Old Salem High Date Schedule Sept. 25 ....

We are very proud of the girls and their coach. Miss Alice Clark, who have tried so hard to - y raise Salem High to a place of honor in Athletics, However the girls did not have as much practice as they should have had, owing to the expense of renting a floor. The girls who were fortunate enough to make the team this year were: Mildred Kirkbride, center; Almeda Geiger, for- ward; Bessie Mercer, forward; Doris Mayer, guard; Margaret Probert, guard ; Gertrude Leonard, second center, Maud Lewis, Rowena Hutcheson, Florence Gei- ger and Nellie Kelly were substitutes in a number of games, but not enough to make the team, Bessie Mercer is the only girl on the team who will be graduated, so with the other girls, next year’s season looks quite promising. Gertrude Leonard, Florence Geiger, and Doris Mayer are the new girls who came out this year. The season opened Jan. 7, with the big game between Lisbon and Salem. As our girls had a great deal of pep, they won the game by a score of 14 to 8. This of course made the girls appear with beam- ing faces after the game. Our next game, Jan. 15 with Sharon was a decided victory for the opponents, 25 to 9. Our smiles changed to tears, our sunshine to rain. On Feb. 4th the third game of the sea- son was lost to East Liverpool by only three points, 14 to 11. It. was one of the fastest games of the season as our girls had their team in better form. Gloom, gloom, gloom. On Feb. 12th, we lost another victory, 18 to 13, with Sharon. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, but it is pretty hard sometimes. We won a decided victory at Wells- ville, 21 to 8, on Feb. 25th. The floor was entirely new to our girls so after this game, hopes were brightening. It was fate's decree that on March 10th we should lose another game with East Liverpool, 32 to 11, In spite of many obstacles, our girls did their very best, took their victories mod- estly, and their defeats gamely. We are looking forward to a better season next year, when we hope to have more ad- vantages for practice in the new building. After all, learning to take a defeat in the right spirit is far better than gaining a mere victory and we are certainly proud of our girls.

James W. Reilly, of YVellsville. Since athletic sports have come to be recognized as a legiti- mate part of the activities of a modern high school this field makes a highly val- ued addition to our equipment We feel that the Board of Education made a very wise decision when they determined to make this purchase. Gen. J. W. Reilly died on Nov. 5, 1905, and in the absence of any known heirs or of a will providing for the division of his estate it escheated to the State of Ohio. After several years of litigation involving the investigation of the claims of possible heirs to share in the estate, the courts de- cided to apportion the funds remaining among the schools of Columbiana County. On Feb. 5, 1915, the Board of Education in Salem received its apportionment, amounting to $5,472.69. At the meeting of the Board on March 1st, 1915, it was decided to expend this sum in the pur- chase of the Athletic Field, which was to be known as The Gen. Reilly Athletic Field of the Salem Public Schools.” The purchase was made on April 25th, 1915. all of the fund being thus invested in the purchase and improvement of this field. This so far as we know was the first use made of any part of the Reilly estate in the erection of a permanent memorial to his memory. The field is adequate in size and is ad- mirably located being a short distance from the new high school building and very near to the central part of the citv. By the older residents it will be remem- bered as the site of Pidgeon’s brick-yard and the once famous Pidgeon's Pond. For many years it was known as the “In- dependent Amusement Park,” from the stockholders of which it was purchased by the Board of Education. The fact that this field bears the name of Gen. Reilly awakens a natural interest in the life and character of the man whom we thus honor. Gen. James W. Reilly was born in the city of Akron, May 21, 1828. His parents, Thomas and Eliza- beth Reilly, came to the United States from Ireland in 1825. The father was a well known contractor for the construc- tion of public works. James W. Reilly was educated at Allegheny College, at Meadville, Penn., and at Mount St. Mary’s, at Emmetsburg, Md. In 1848 he located in Wellsville where he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1851. In 1861 he was elected to represent Col- umbiana County in the Ohio legislature. In July 1862 he was made Colonel of the One Hundred and Fourth Ohio Vol- unteer Infantry, which was recruited from Summit, Stark, Portage and Columbiana Counties. Practically one whole com- pany, Company G, of this regiment was recruited from Salem and vicinity, a very few of whom are still with us. In August of 1862, Col. Reilly reported with bis regi- ment to Gen. Lew Wallace in Kentucky. Such was the training and discipline of the regiment, inspired by the high stand- ards of their Colonel and drilled in ac- cordance with his strict and uncomprom- ising ideas of army discipline that it car- ried off the honors in a review of the whole of Gen. Wallace’s command. The next year the regiment was in service in eastern Tennessee in and about Knoxville. In the spring of 1864 they started with Sherman in the famous campaign to At- lanta. On July 30, 1864, Col. Reilly was promoted to the rank of Brigadier Gen- eral for meritorious service, when he with his brigade joined in the pursuit of Gen. Hood in northern Alabama. He was later with Gen. Thomas at Nashville and oaae fortv-nirc participated in the engagements with Hood’s forces at Columbia and Franklin. At the latter battle he commanded the 3rd Division of the 23rd Army Corps. He closed his military career at Goldsbor- ough, N. C. at the end of the war In 1865 he returned to Wellsville and again resumed the practice of his profes- sion, which he continued until his death in 1905. He was for many years the at- torney for the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. General Reilly was a man of positive character, possessed of rugged honesty, a strong sense of justice, and marked by qualities of deportment and bearing which TRACK Salem High School is proud of the team that represented her during the track sea- son of 1915. Although the team was not a brilliant one it certainly held up the repu- tation S. H. S. has always had in this field of athletics. We had only three meets in the 1915 season, two away from home and one other held on our own grounds. Our first meet was the North County meet in which Fast Palestine, Colum- biana, Leetonia and Salem were repre- sented. The red and black captured first place by scoring 67 points, Columbiana was second with 33 points and East Pal- estine took third honors, Myers, S. H. S.'s “iron man” captured individual hon- ors, scoring a total of 36 points. Our next meet was at Canton. In this meet in which four counties and seven high schools were entered, we captured second place, scoring 263-4 points. Can- ton won first honors with 44 points and Massillon took third with 20' points, Myers again won individual honors. Our last contest of the season was the Mt, Union meet. In this meet we were completely outclassed and could do no better than to win 7 points and eighth place. As the “Quaker” must go to press now we cannot include the 1916 meets. But still we can prophecy an even better sea- desigrated him as a gentleman of the old fashioned type. As a lawyer he was a pronounced success, as a public spirited citizen he was of great value to his com- munity, enjoying the confidence of all with whom he was associated. As a sol- dier he stood for the most rigid standards of training and discipline and was held in the highest esteem and respect by the boys whom he led through hardship and danger as they battled for the Nation’s life. It is a matter of pride that we are able to give to our field the name of one who left such a record. 1915-1916 son than the 1915 season.

There are various opportunities for both girls and boys to win the letters. The girls who make the basket ball team are given the letters in monogram as an inducement to do their best. The boys usually have a basket ball team, also, Here again the monogram is the prize. After several weeks of hard work on the track, the boys who win a first or break a record or are on the winning re- lay team in an interscholastic meet are entitled to wear the letters in Old English Script. The football boys who play in five games and take part in the Thanksgiving game, are rewarded with a sweater and a block letter in the school colors, red and black. The other opportunity for winning a letter lies in the field of debate. Those who spend months in preparing to fight with their heads to uphold the honor of S. H, S. are presented with triangular pins containing the block letters, and the right to wear a similar letter. It may easily be seen that these rewards have no great value in themselves. Rut everyone is proud to have worked for his school and is pleased to possess some token to show the world that he has done his part. page fjftg-eight THE SENIOR CLASS As Freshmen, we soon discovered our place, For always we stood at the head of the race. In Latin and Math., were never such sharks, And Science and English don’t need our remarks. In history, too, we all learned so well, There scarce was a date we all couldn't tell. As Sophomores, we learned that we could be jolly, And to study forever would only be folly. That bunch in room six will never forget How many good times they enjoyed in their set. Our first party, too, was one grand success, And we won in track, Juniors had to confess. As Juniors, we continue our fun and our mirth, But still we remember to show our real worth. This year we purchase our classy class pins, And again on the track our plucky hunch wins. We lose one good president, but soon find another, And enjoy four parties, one good as the other. As Seniors, we find that there’s so much to do, We wonder if we shall ever get through; With annual, debate, and football and all, And parties and lessons and girls’ basketball, Theses and commencement clear on to the end. We’ve really no time to idly spend. So we pass on to college to earn our success, Bu we’ll never forget we’re from old S. H. S. We’ve enjoyed both the work and the play in our course, And now we all say that we leavf with remorse. And our future positions we're sure will be due. At least in large part, Salem High School, to you. E. T. S., T6. page fiftp-nine THE SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It hath been decreed, ordained, and es- tablished that the dignified and cour- ageous class of 1916 should betake them- selves to the Oracle of Apollo, on the Island of Delos, to determine their fates. After a serene voyage conducted under the auspices of favorable winds and fates, they reach the Oracle in safety.

Item 1. The Senior Class doth hereby will and bequeath its good looks to the Sophomores. From appearances, it looks as if they might improve, by a care- ful application of the gift. Item 2, Ernest Vincent wills his abil- ity to get Math, problems (from other people) to Gretchen Yengling. He feels sure that she will appreciate the gift. Item 3, Rutter Stirling wills his short trousers, which he has courageously worn throughout his high school career, to Lewis FoIIansbee. Item 4. Mary Mellinger wills and be- queaths her ability to “Carey,” a tune to Paul Stratton, and her portly presence to Rose McLaughlin, Item 5. Chester Smith wills his talk- ing faculties to the freshman class. We know they will have to go some to keep up to him. Item 6. Ella Smith leaves her many boy friends to Stella Speidel, that she may complete her monopoly. Item 7. Mabel Webber wills Anna Carr’s sweater to Earl Reeves. Mabel has no more need for it and Earl seems to be making a collection. Item 8. Edgar Read reluctantly wills his cane to Joe Kelly. Ed has had acci- dents all year. We hope, by giving his cane away, to restore his luck. Item 9. George Baillie wills and be- queaths his broad grin, good nature, and love for pies to Lester Kille. Item 10, Linn Kille informs us that he has nothing to leave, but that he in- tends to take everything away with him, which he can get his hands on. Keep your possessions under lock and key. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Item 11. Anna Jessup wills her quiet ways to Paul Phillips. This warning ought to be useful to him. Item 12. RoIIand Wisner bequeaths his curly locks to Glenn Harris, realizing that Glenn will no longer need to oil his hair to keep it in place. Item 13. Gladys Foltz leaves her seat in Room 4 to James Hydan. She knows he will use it onlv once or twice a month, but what's the difference? Item 14. Leora Hoopes leaves her ability as an actress to Andrew Colmery. With their combined abilities, Andrew will surely become famous. Item 15. Lynn Courtney wills his tre- mendous accumulation of knowledge to Chester Chalfant. Knowledge is always a welcome gift. Item 16. Ruth Ertzinger bequeaths her love for flirting to Betty Atchison. Flirting may, in some cases, be called the spice of life. Item 17. Mae Detwiler wills her love for delaying the delivery of Wells-Fargo page sixtp-two Express packages to anyone who dares to incur Mae’s eternal displeasure by tak- ing it from her. Item 18. Louis Park leaves his fool- ishness to “Cutie” of the Sophomore Class, and his supply of extra credits to Rav Harroff. He expects these gifts to be well used. [tern 19. Russell Myers and Harold England both will and bequeath their modesty and a couple of feet of their stature to Ralph Gee. Giants and dwarfs like to share up with one-another. Item 20. Raymond Logan wills his nickname to the domestic science class, that they may make more “sugar” coated doughnuts. Item 21. Bessie Mercer leaves her dainty steps to Nathan Hunt, Perhaps with a little training, he may condescend to cease breaking the eight mile limit. Item 22. Ray Whinnery leaves his ability to study to the freshmen, who are already proficient in applying themselves to their hooks. Item 23. Hilda Rogers leaves her abil- ity to lose her temper over a poor recita- tion to Maud Lewis. We like to keep up a “balance of power,” Item 24. Charles Cruikshank be- queaths his love for perfume to Wm Linn. We have been informed that suffocation has threatened our vice-president more than once this year, thru an excessive use of this luxury by some fair neighbor of his. Item 25. Debora French wills her small? feet to John Conners, that his foot-prints may not be recognized next year. Item 26. Venus Sanor wills her chamois skin with a j ear's supply to Lois Garrett. Item 27, Mary Gwinner bequeaths her curling papers to Jay Fader. We are hoping he will become as efficient in their use as she is. Item 28. Omar Rinehart gladly re- linquishes his variety of affections to some less worthy human. Item 29. Sterling Doutt wills his Ger- man oratory to Howard Foltz. We won- der if his German teacher will appreciate this gift. Item 30, Paul Probert bequeaths his middle name, Reuben, to anyone who wants it, for one Reub” in the class is enough. Item 31. Anna Carr wills her ability to make many friends to Rhea Dunn. Item 32, Iva Clake wills her freshman to some one in his own class, hoping that a small beginning will be a good ending. Item 33. Catherine Detwiler wills her susceptibility to blushes in the presence of young gentlemen to Alice Park, that Alice may never forget how. Item 34. Naomi Votaw wills her abil- ity to change her mind to Beatrice Mae- der. Naomi never plans to go to parties, but usually appears at the last moment. “Better late than never.” Item 35. John Hutson wills his pow- der puff to Joe Fawcett, Having been known as “Lady” throughout his high school career, John wishes to be rid of his lady-like accoutrements after gradu- ation. Since we understand that Joe is an avowed woman hater, we are trying to overcome his antipathy. page sixtp three Item 36. James Thomas wills his walking trips from Columbiana to the Camp-fire Girls. James missed the last car home, and had to walk. The Camp- fire Girls are fond of walking early! in the morning. Item 37. Lucille Sharp bequeaths her versatility in masculine friendships to Minnie Sechler. “Where a little is good, more is better. Item 38. Leroy Sell leaves his keen- ness in solving Chemistry problems to Webb Mulford. Realizing that Leroy's ability would be missed next year, we planned to leave it in the school. Item 39. Reuben Smith bequeaths his spontaneity in recitations to James Carpenter. If Reuben should answer a teachers' question quickly, we’re afraid his teacher might suffer a nervous shock. Item 40. Fred Baker wills part of the length of his fingers to “Biddy Beards- more. Although Fred has long fingers, he has never caught a girl. But, to tell the truth. Lawrence doesn't need any en- couragement along that line. Item 41. Loran Matthews leaves his newly grown mustache to Brooks Emeny. In order to be generous, he offers his wrinkles in the bargain. Item 42. Frank Willaman bequeaths his ability on the athletic field to Harold Votaw. We hereby appoint the Board of Educa- tion of the City of Salem as executor of this our last will and testament, and re- quest that no bond be required of them for the faithful performance of their duty. We do hereby revoke all former wills by us made. In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seals, this 16th day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thous- and, nine hundred and sixteen, John S. Alan, Superintendent. Frank W.

W D. HENKLE The following appreciation of the life of Mrs. YV. D. Henkle, whose death occurred in Seattle, Wash., May 8. has been contributed by a friend: The name of W. D, Henkle like that of Reuben McMillan, is recalled with interest and affection by the generation of Salem men and women who are now passing over the hill. Mr. Henkle took charge of our schools in the fall of 1864. He had long been in the faculty of the Lebanon Normal school and was well known all over the state as a genial, whole- souled man and an educator of large experience and exceptional ability and devotion. Mr. and Mrs. Henkle immediately found a welcome place in the social life of Salem and were large factors in making the town con- spicuous for the high tone of its civic and in- tellectual life. After a few years Mr. Henkle was made state school commissioner and moved to Columbus M. C. Stevens, principal of the High School taking his place as super- intendent. Having served two terms as com- missioner, Mr. Henkle was invited by the Salem school board to resume his old position, which he did. He continued to manage our schools for several years until he resigned to devote his entire time to editing and publishing the Ohio Educational Monthly, which he had acquired some time before. He died in 1881 in their home on Franklin avenue, respected and lamented by the whole community, and was laid away in Hope cemetery. Disposing of her property, Airs. Henkle moved to Oberlin to be with her daughter, who was taking a course in the conservatory. Upon graduating the daughter married and made her home in Seattle, Wash. After spend- ing a year and more with her nephew, E. O. Vaile and family in Chicago, (Mrs. Vaile is a Brainard of Salem) Airs. Henkle took up her home in Seattle where she continued to reside to the time of her death on the 8th inst., at the age of 87. During her life in Salem Mrs. Henkle en- deared herself to a large circle of friends with a warmth of affection which is rare. Her gen- tle. self-effacing ways, her sweet and charitable spirit and her unceasing round of friendly and neighborly services, are cherished as a precious memory by those of her circle who still live, fn Seattle her life was very retired, entirely devoted to the interests of her daughter and two grandsons. On the latter in particular she expended her care and affection with a devo- tion and faithfulness that brought her a blessed reward which she lived to enjoy—two stalwart, manly grandsons whose tender care and affec- tion for her and gratitude for worthy charac- ters and ambitions which they attribute to her influence were a source of unalloyed comfort and happiness to her.—Published in the Salem News, May 12, 1916. page si,rip-six DRIBBLES AND QUIBBLES Old Salem had a football team, It was the best in town. It traveled far and it became Well known for miles around. The season opened with Massillon here, And tho we lost, ’tis said That Captain Baillie and his men Played till they were dead. Then down from the “tube city” Proud Raven Hi, she came. And when the game was over Neither side had won the game. Then South Hi, from the same old burg, Arrived in town one morning And when the game was done, they had won. Our noblest efforts scorning. Our boys then journeyed down to Dover To tackle their eleven, And when the hard fought game was o’er We had won 28 to 7. Of course we won from Wellsville, And Cuyahoga Falls as well, But a thing of more importance than these To you I wish to tell. It is the game on Turkey Day, When Alliance High came here to play. That we would win, was sure, twas said, Though Baillie and Read were almost dead. But o’er this game let’s draw the curtain, I’d just as soon as not. For Alliance Hi got twenty-four. And Salem Hi got nought. Chester Smith, ’16. page sixty-seven SONG OF THE JUNIORS Labor with what zeal we will, Something' still remains undone. One year uncompleted still, In the course each class must run. Let us be our way pursuing-, Close four years with triumph great; Our life-long prospects we are viewing.

Ohio. paffe seventy-four SALEM HIGH IN 2016 Mr. Robert Metzger II, Principal of Salem High School, stepped out of his twenty-five cylinder Ford, adjusted his patent see-around-a-corner eyeglasses and stepping on the moving walk was carried swiftly and smoothly into the building. He came to a beautifully finished gold encased electric button which was oper- ated, not by the tedious method of push- ing. but by merely blowing one’s breath against it. This he operated in the pre- scribed manner. Wonderful were the re- sults; compared to the methods in vogue a century past. The room was imme- diately filled with a soft, lustrous light which seemed to come from nowhere, but which was really supplied by wireless from London. The old. fashioned electric bulb had long since passed out of exist- ence. But this was not all. The hot. stuffy room was immediately filled with pure oxygenized, ozonated air which was purified by being filtered through the walls which were made of a composition invented by Thomas Edison TIT, in 2012. Professor Metzger took off his top coat, threw it into the incinerator; (It was con- sidered unsanitary to wear a garment more than once) and sat down to his pat- ent, collapsible desk. It was Saturday, school was not to convene for an hour, (The old custom of Saturday Holiday had long been abandoned) and the Pro- fessor had much work to do. He first turned his attention to the monthly re- port cards which would soon fall due. These cards worried him greatly. His 5.000 pupils had threatened to strike if the reports were not out on time. As the Professor set the automatic grader to work he thought of the old days when one man would have to sign sometimes as many as 350 reports at one time. Such a task as that must of been! The roar of many motors interrupted the hard worked school head. The Senior Class was arriving. The Professor dis- continued his work and went to greet his proteges. Tn they rushed 900 strong, and, finding their class rooms, quietly assumed their seats. The other classes soon ap- peared and school convened. For the first period the Seniors had History. The Principal was the teacher. He rang a hell in the History Lab., the students put on their Earphones, and recitation began. “Today” began the instructor, “we will devote our time to current events.” “What is the most important thing in the morning?” “Wireless Mirror.” “I see that Henry Ford II has declared himself a candidate for Chief Engineer of the United States,” (Chief Engineer had re- placed the obsolete term of President) de- clared one of the pupils. Cries of “Heaven help the United States if he is elected” were hard all over the room. Mr. Metz- ger being a little vexed at this outbreak, pushed a button close by and the History class received a smart wireless shock. This quieted them and the recitation con- tinued without further interruption. Two periods of rest and refreshment followed after which the Math, class convened. The students in this class were equipped with electric adding machines. These machines were a great advance over the old style adding machine. One had merely to press a button and the most difficult problem in algebra or the most puzzling Geometrical construction became clear as day. On the day of which we are wrPmg the teacher had a list of some 1200 problems to solve, consequently the 15 minute period was over all too soon for the pupils. As the bell sounded to close the period Principal Metzger breathed a sigh of relief. At last the long period of two hours daily was over. Elevators carried the pupils to the mov- ing walk, which in turn transported them to their waiting cars. Professor Metzger drawing a new topcoat from a carton in his office, at the same time pulled a small page seventy-five lever which protruded from the wall. The results were marvelous. Huge vacuum cleaners built in the walls, immediately carried away every trace of dust and dirt; small jets of water removed the writing from the blackboards; machines graded and recorded every pupil’s work; and the marvelous electric glow ceased. Professor Metzger stepped out and as he placed his foot upon the first step to descend, the doors automatically locked. Another day's session had been completed. Chester Smith, T6. MY FIRST RIDE IN AN AEROPLANE A crowd of boys and myself, one day began daring each other to go up in an aeroplane which was to make a flight that afternoon and finally I said I would go. The next thing to do was to get the avia- tor to take me up. As he was a friend of my father and had his factory right there in town he said he would take me up. It was then that I felt as if I wanted to back out, but I would not do that for the rest would have called me “yellow.” As the flights were not to start for an hour we went around and looked at the different styles of machines. We passed an hour in this way and then we started back to my place of “execution” as the others called it. We arrived just in time. I crawled into the passenger apartment of the big white bird and bade my friends farewell. After the aviator got into his seat several men held the machine while another started the big, six cylinder mo- tor. The engine made such a noise that T thought a thunder storm was coming up. When the engine was running all right, the men who were holding the ma- chine let go and away we went, at first on the ground about fifty miles an hour. Well, that wasn't so bad, but the aviator soon shifted the planes and we began to leave old mother earth. Such a sensation I never felt before nor have I felt it since. The very idea of having nothing but the machine between me and the hard ground was enough to make me feel a little funny. We left the fair grounds behind us and were soon sailing over house tops and out over Lake Erie. The boats on the water looked like so many toys and the men looked like flies walking around. I thought this was the greatest sport I ever had, but the aviator soon turned and we started back for the fair grounds. We were passing over the town when I looked down and saw a sharp church spire point- ing toward me. Just at this time one of the planes broke and down we started as gravity now had us in her power. We turned over and I was thrown clear out of the machine. Down and down 1 went and came so close to the church spire that it tore the whole hack out of my coat. Still I went down and hit the floor so hard that T woke up just in time to get ready for school. page seventy-six George Baillie, T6, AUTOMOBILING When I first tried to drive an automo- bile, I thought I knew nearly everything that should be done, as I had watched others drive. But when I tried it, it did not seem so easy to do the things I had seen others do! I felt as if I were trying to control a big animal of some kind which was rather large for me to man- age. I found that there were so many things for me to do at once that I be- came slightly confused as to which to do first. When I put the gas up a little 1 had the sensation of flying and of won- dering if I could stop the car. Anna Jessup, ’16, AN INCIDENT I think that the most glorious sensa- tion 1 ever had was when I learned to dance. Almost all my life I had seen people dancing and enjoyed them. I would sit for hours marveling how graceful and light they moved on their feet and at last the delightful opportunity was given me to learn. Since I had watched so much, I imagined that I could dance easily myself but upon trying f found that I tried to guide my partner, dance forward instead of sideways and in truth just could not make my feet slide as the instructor did, but—hopped. I had al- most despaired and was about to give it up until one night the music just seemed to enchant me and I waltzed without once even thinking of my feet. The abil- ity to do it bad just come suddenly and T really felt like repeating the line: “Come! trip it on the light fantastic toe ' and I just seemed wafted along. Of course after a while the exhilaration caused by dancing passed away, but I shall never forget the glorious -sensation 1 had when I at last realized that I had learned to dance. Mabel Webber. T6. page seventy-seven A DAY OF COUNTRY SCHOOL The first thing you do is to get up very early. Of course this is done willingly. Then you wash your face in cold water. This brings you around to the fact that you are living, and that it is time to go to school. After you are through being scrubbed you feel as if you need never wash again in this life. I had about a mile to go to school, but I did not mind. Others went to school at the same time, mostly girls. They in- terested me talking about clothes, candy or boys and I always gave them a piece of my mind. They always stole the ap- ple I had to give to the teacher, or spoiled my appearance in some way, so that I never came to school looking half re- spectable. We played games on the way to school, usually tag. I remember very distinctly once when I was trying to tap someone. I was going at pretty good speed, and was just about to tap a girl, when my feet got tangled lip. Away T went sprawl- ing, seeing about sixty-five different kinds of stars and planets. After gathering up all that was left of the dinner I had been carrying, and my other belongings scat- tered for twenty yards around me, I re- sumed my journey to school. 1 was very nearly late that morning. On the way to school, a bov said things to me which imposed so much on my good nature that I threw off niv coat and sailed into him, never hearing the bell. On arriving at school we found it had begun. It was hard to conceal a black eye and to keep back a giggle, which would have spoiled the story that we were not late. The ruler was used for the late ones. The school was a very large one room building with about a dozen grades in the one room,mumbling over their lessons all the time. There was the noise, too, of the few boys bent on annoying the teacher. One grade recited its lesson in front of the teacher while the others studied. The most fun came when the big boys went up to spell. They always made mistakes. We would dive into our spellers, hunt up the words, spell them, and then the teacher would praise us. This made the large fellows angry. The consequences were that they would get us when we went out to recess and wal- lop us. I always had one failing in Arithmetic. I counted and figured on my fingers. The teacher said I would wear them out when I went into business. I didn't believe him. I could see a stenographer doing my figur- ing. I made up my mind to write that teacher when I grew up just to let him know he was wrong. I even thought I should fight him someday. Now I have different ideas about such things, I hardly know why. At recess we played ball, girls and boys together. They surely put speed into those balls. I know, for a girl hit me in the head with one when I was batting. I was making all kinds of home runs and three base hits when I came to. Then they told me I was too small to play with the rest. When school closed in the evening there was a great eagerness to get out to finish a game or see which of two cham- pions was the better fighter. The end was usually a free for all fight. We went home thinking tip all kinds of mean tricks or absorbed in our troubles. One day I had to pass over a slimy marsh on my way home. There was a bridge of planks across it. I was so busy of thinking of anything but where I was going, that I did not notice the nail projecting in the middle. I tripped and fell face foremost into all that mud and water. Of course page seventu-eight the worst was still to come for I had to go home. This is only a little of what conies to me when I think of life at a country school. It has its disadvantages, but I must say, I think that a day of school in the country is worth twenty days' school- ing in town. Jay Fa Her, '17. THE WOULD BE GHOST The shriek of the 7:45 train was scarcely audible thru the damp atmos- phere, made by the drizzling rain. As this whistle was always the signal for me to start home from town, I started on my dreaded, half-mile homeward walk into the country. The cause of my disturbance of mind was the supposedly true story, that on wet, drizzly nights a headless woman ap- peared at the railroad crossing where she had been killed a year or so before. More- over 1 was alone, as my brother had gone ahead halt an hour before with another boy. But I started out whistling. Thinking of the part I had played in the baseball game that day, made me forget the ghost entirely. My pleasant thoughts were rudely interrupted bv the wail of a screech owl. On looking up I found that I was walking by the thick wall of hedge apple trees, which bordered the road as it neared the railroad. Picking up a clod of hard dirt, 1 quickened my pace, to get past the dreaded spot just beyond the track. With my gaze fixed upon a little bush beyond the spot, I walked across the track. Just as I got even with the bush T saw a form rise from behind it. I gave a yell, threw the clod in that direction and started to run for all I was worth. I had gone perhaps eighty feet when I heard someone shout, “Come back here!” Recognizing the voice of my brother's friend I went reluctantly back, more an- gry than scared now. 1 found mv brother holding his fore- head, and when I asked him to let me see, he showed me a cut over his left eye, where the clod had broken the skin. Be- ing a little peeved still, I told him the next time he would know better than to molest me on my way home. Rutter Stirling, T6. page seventy-nine St. With old’s Convent. Dearest Elspeth, These last few days have been chuck full of excitement. We are on our way from Prince John’s tournament and are stopping at Abbott WaltheofP’s convent. 1 am in my room with the sulks. Sir Cedric and I quarreled because he went to the banquet and I am still angry. We went to the tournament on horse- back. I have the prettiest new saddle and trappins: purple and silver. 1 am just in love with them ! The tournament started with a grand splurge. Soon the knights had all dwin- dled down, so there was only one cham- pion left against all the knights chal- lengers. This knight called himself “Desdichado,” meaning “Disinherited ' Beginning with Bois-Guilbert, he un- horsed all the other knights and so was pronounced victor. The honors consisted, principally of a beautiful horse and the right to name the Queen of Love and Beauty. Tie refused to make known his identity, and as he rode around the lists to choose his queen, there was much excitement. He looked up to my balcony and, then with his lance, laid the coronet at my feet. Was I astonished? Well slightly! I didn’t dream that a Saxon would have any chances whatsoever. T was going to accept the honor and thank the knight, for Prince John had already approached and invited us to a banquet, when Cedric, with a look which threatened everything imaginable, if I spoke, replied in the Saxon tongue that I would be Queen of Love and Beauty, but would not come to the banquet. John answered by saying he would conduct “this mute sovereign” to the throne on the morrow. That made me fairly rage. It wasn’t my fault that I didn’t speak. Pm not used to being called “mute. The knight also refused to attend the banquet so I didn’t care whether I went or not. I thought I’d like to go in the hope of finding out the knight’s name. The next day Athelstane of Conings- burgh didn’t come with us. What do you think he did? He took sides with the knights challengers! Wasn’t that the limit? For stubborness—but that is all I may say. The prince came over as soon as he saw us. to conduct the “mute sovereign” to her throne. You should have seen Lady Alicia Fitzurse,—I had to look at her: she favored me with only one glance but it said volumes. For the second time the knights formed for the combat. The trumpets sounded and they galloped at each other. We couldn’t tell which side was winning for the dust. Soon we could see that half the knights were down, and the rest were fighting for dear life (both literally and figuratively). Our attention was cen- tered on four: Desdichado, Bois-Guil- bert, Front-de-Bouf and Athelstane. These last three were trying to unhorse the Disinherited Knight, when a cham- pion in black armor appeared. This “Black Sluggard,” as he was called, un- horsed Front-de-Boeuf and Athelstane, leaving Desdichado and Bois-Guilbert to fight it out. After the “Disinherited Knight” had overcome Bois-Guilbert, he was again named victor. I noticed he staggered as the marshal led him to my throne. He knelt to re- ceive the chapelet, and the marshals in- sisted on taking off his helmet. And Oh ! Elspeth—it was Wilfred—and his face was white and streaked with blood! (I hope no one heard me scream.) 1 started my speech mechanically, ‘T bestow on thee this chapelet, Sir Knight, as the meed of valor assigned to this day's vic- tor.” I recovered myself and added some to my carefully learned piece, “And upon brows more worthy could a wreath of chivalry never be placed.” My hands trembled so that I wasn’t sure whether the chapelet would light on his head or not. As he kissed my hand, he fell over in a faint. They found a lance had pene- page eighty (.rated his breast-plate and he was ser- iously wounded. I was pretty shaky the rest of the day. We could find no trace of Wilfred. By- standers said someone had taken him from the field on a litter. Cedric and I had intended to go to the banquet that evening, but I refused to go, telling Ced- ric I thought he was mighty hard hearted. As I told you before, Pm still cross be- cause he did go. With love, Rowena. Helen Heck, ’19. “THE HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES The general atmosphere of the House is suspense and mystery. First, the set- ting of the story, New England, aids greatly in acquiring this idea because of the superstition of the early settlers of this section of the country. Then, too, the idea of witchcraft was prominent in the minds of the inhabitants. The curse is a direct result of this idea. The de- cayed old House of Seven Gables ’ de- scribed as being like a human heart, full of somber reminiscences gives the idea that many unusual and peculiar happen- ings have taken place within its dark in- terior. Its large spare rooms at the time of the story are ideal places for ghosts and the supernatural. Then the mysterious death of Colonel Pvncheon and his following generation is very uncommon. The vanishing of the deed and the withholding of its where- abouts until the end keeps up the atmos- phere throughout the book. Also the odd terms of the will are very eccentric and the vanishing of the Maules very peculiar. When Hepzibah is introduced, there is an atmosphere of something hidden when she spends so much time over the picture. You are also very curious and very much surprised that such a great lady as she thought herself should be compelled to open a cent shop. Now the reader begins to wonder, Where is the deed? Why was it never found? and did Maule really have an influence over the fortunes of the Pyncheons? will the curse be again ful- filled? or has it been recently fulfilled in connection with the picture? what lias caused Hepzibah to become such a sour looking person in such a house as was built try Colonel Pyncheon?” Imme- diately deeper perplexity is involved and you are no nearer the solving of the first enigma. Maules’ well is also very singular. You ask, “Why did the water change?” Again you think of the curse and all the old questions return to your mind. When Phoebe meets Holgrave in the garden the question arises, “Why does a young man of his temperament live in such a musty, old house as this?” Again you must wait until the end of the story to solve the problem. When Phoebe re- turns to the house after her visit to the garden, there is an atmosphere of both perplexity and uncertainty. Why does Hepzibah act so curiously? Who is with her? This mystery is made deeper by concealing- the identity until morning. When Clifford is introduced you do not believe him capable of crime. He is too tender hearted and gentle, yet he has been .sent to prison. You are positive he is not guilty yet who committed the murder? Another link is added to the chain of un- intelligible incidents. When Judge Pvncheon is introduced, Phoebe’s aversion to him is rather un- usual. Why should she avoid him—he who was so benevolent, kind and congen- ial ? Then, there is suspense as to whether he will gain admission to Clifford. And again, why is he so persistent? What does he wish? Why does lie haunt Clif- ford? Why should Clifford elude him? page eighty-one Still the mystery deepens. Then the power Holgrave uncon- sciously exercised over Phoebe is un- canny. “Where has such power been ex- ercised before?” comes to the mind of the reader, “Was it not in Holgrave’s story of Alice Pyncheon? Has this man then, anything in common with the Maules of long ago? Why was the secret not re- vealed at once?” The author prolongs the suspense by leaving this to the end. The return of the Judge augments the tangle. “Why did be return when lie knew he was not welcome? Why does he threaten Clifford? Is he really as kind and benevolent as he appears? Is be not the evil genius of this family? Will Hep- zibah yield? If so, what will be the ef- fect on Clifford ?” All questions torment the reader. Still mystery and suspense. “When Hepzibah is so restless and acts so cjueerly you ask what is wrong. Why does the strange cat, the ill omen, come creeping across the yard in such a man- ner? Why is Hepzibah so unstrung at beholding the Judge’s picture in Hoi- grave’s room Where is Clifford? What has happened to the Judge? Why does he not move or speak? Why do Clifford and Hepzibah flee? What does Clifford mean by his wild speeches on the train?” A long, wierd chapter follows. How the wind howls and shrieks throughout the night! The Judge still sits in this dreary room! “Why is it so ghostly? Who is the new member in the Pyncheon procession? Why do they all approach the picture?” Here again the atmosphere of suspense and mystery prevails. The puzzle is not explained until the next day. In the morning everything is bright and cheerful. Surely something has hap- pened, When the death of Judge Pyn- cheon is discovered you wonder whether Hepzibah and Clifford will return in time to prevent the public thinking they have crept away like criminals. Or, is it possi- ble that Clifford be guilty? When they return and Holgrave and Phoebe are uni- ted the plot begins to unfold. The dis- closing of Holgrave’s identity, the clear- ing of the picture mystery and the expla- nation of the curse answers all the quest- ions that have been in the reader’s mind. The author, by withholding until the end all the points in the solution, keeps up the atmosphere of mystery and suspense throughout the book.

Wall I thought not. You see it was this way: I heard how Old Ben Summers was losing sheep and cattle up his way. An old bear was doin' it, so one morning I took my gun and went up, Ben said he couldn’t live much longer unless that bear was killed, for it was eatin’ all his beef up. J was mighty glad I went up, for Ren wasn’t able to get that bear and was in pretty hard circumstances. Wall, I went out in the woods and wasn't there very long till T saw 'im eatin' the blackberries off'n the bushes. He saw me about the same time 1 saw him, and didn't waste as much time getting started as I did. We had a good many tussels in them woods. I'd get 'im down and choke 'im till his face’d get purple, then I'd feel sorry for 'im and let 'im go. We went on this way quite awhile. Me wait- in' behind the bushes for him, and him on the other side waitin' for me, till I 'lowed the next round Pd finish 'im. He ris right up in front of me, with Devil's Gulch behind 'im. J shot 'im right in the stomach and he tumbled over backward into the Gulch, and laid there not able to move, makin' a dretful noise. There was meat layin' in a place where f couldn't get it. Jest as I was gettin' mad enough to slide down after ’im he com- menced to act funny. He stopped makin' a noise, an' his hind feet began to rise right up offn the ground, and kept on until he was standin' on his head. I could feel my eyes bulge, and as he finally floated up, I could a grabbed 'im with my hands, and lie looked like he wanted me to, but I couldn't move. He floated up over my head, and the crows which as had gathered to eat him, flew away, scairt silly. When 1 got my senses together, I put some powder in my gun, but didn't have time to cut a patch ofif’n the rag, so put the whole thing in. I shot at 'im, and fast as that bullet went, I saw the rag aroung the bullet was on fire. When it punctured 'em, a streak of fire a yard long came out his side, and as long as I saw 'im, the fire was cornin' out. 1 thot lie was bewitched, but its all simple now. Ya see, there was gas cornin' out o' them fissures in the bottom of Devil's Gulch, and he just filled up with gas when he was layin there and the rag set im on fire. Say, there's yar train now; haf'to hurry if ya wanta ketch it Cecil Scott, '19. WILLIAM BRADFORD “William! Silence. “William Bradford! Still prolonged silence. “William Calhoun Bradford! Miss Sally cupped her hands and sent the call ringing toward the woodshed. This time, Billy (at least he was Billy to every one except Miss Sally) deemed it necessary to answer. “Well, ain't I cornin’ as fas' as I can? “Where have you been? I have been waiting on you for an hour. William, you have exterminated every portion of patience that my mind contained. Give me your reason for this unpardonable and unpermitted delay, immediately! page eighty-three “Hull? inquired Billy “Mam', supplemented Miss Sally, “Mam, repeated Billy automatically. “I said that you have entirely exter- “Course I heerd what you said. What I want to know is what you meant.” “Heard not heerd. “Heard, quoted the sometimes but not always obedient Billy. “You’re assuredly impossible, wailed the abused Miss Sally, “Why were you late? “Am I late?” asked Billy innocently, at the same time pulling out a much bat- tered toy tin watch from his pocket. He studied it carefully for a moment, then: “Aunt Sally, did you go to church last Sunday? “Certainly, William, but answer me. Why------?” “Are you sure you weren't asleep there ? “Most assuredly not! Why--------? “Didn’t the minister spiel a sermon on unfibful ness? “William Bradford! 'Spiel!’ Unfib- fulness V “Didn’t he? “Yes. but—— “Well. 1 think you’re a sinner then, cause you either fibbed about going to sleep, or about my being late, ‘cause my watch just says----’ ” “William Calhoun Bradford, you march directly into the library and remain there until I get your Bible. Saturday after- noon and you haven't the slightest idea of your Sunday School lesson ! And your dear, departed and much honored great grandfather was vice president of the United States. I am profoundly aston- ished ! “Huh? But this time Miss Sally, be- cause of previous experience, did not consider it wise to answer, but left Billy aimlessly dangling his feet from one of the old-fashioned, upholstered chairs, that graced the Bradford library. Before long (but it seemed a very long time to Billy, because the room was so big, and his stern looking great grandfather was gazing at him from the top of the man- tle) Miss Sally returned bringing the much honored Book. She began at once: “William, 1 perceive that your lesson for tomorrow is upon a very interesting subject. Aunt Sally always began this way. so the prospect cf listening to her lengthy introduction, which was invari- ably the same, had no fascination for Billy. Instead his thoughts began to wander to the fishing pool. Would Aunt Sally allow him to go fishing after she had thoroughly administered his lesson? Would the boys still be there? Would the fish bite as well as they had that morning? But Miss Sally, contrary to her accus- tomed proceedings, omitted the prelimi- naries, and began at once upon the lesson. Therefore, while Billy was dreaming of fishing. Aunt Sally was telling her inat- tentive nephew, of Jonah and the Whale. Billy only dimly heard what she said, but he did manage to grasp a few words now and then. So when the lesson had been explained, and many details added, Billy was questioned. “And now, William, what was the les- son about? Billy sadlv shook his head and looked mournfully and with pity at his aunt. “I told you Aunt Sally, that T thought you were a sinner, cause you didn’t listen to the minister, and are all the time tellin’ fibs. I say that Jonah, or any other man, could never swallow that whale!” Frances Kirkbride, ’10. page eighty-four (0ur Aftwrttamf TO THESE GENEROUS MERCHANTS WE OWE OUR ANNUAL REMEM- BER THIS, WHEN MAKING ANY PUR- CHASES, AND PATRONIZE OUR AD- VERTISERS.

The team, unlike that of last year, was very well balanced We had good men in both weight and track events. In the former, Myers. ilia- man and Whinnery have upheld S H. S.’s reputation. On the track, Hutson, Rine- hart, Cruikshank. Read and Wisner have made enviable records. The first indication we had that our team was strong was at the Blast Pales- tine invitation meet. Sending only three men we won second place with 14 points. Raven School of Youngstown was first with 21 points. In this meet Myers took first in both the shot put and the discus throw. With this encouragement we awaited the North County meet with eager hearts. We were not disappointed. It can easily he said that this meet was a walk away. Salem High scored more points than did East Palestine, Leetonia and Columbiana combined. Myers scored 20 points and captured individual honors. The following Saturday Salem jour- neyed to Canton to enter the Tri-County meet in that city. The team was a little out of condition, but made a good show- ing, taking second place. The final score was, Massillon 35, Salem 33, New Phila- delphia 23Akron Central 15, Alliance 15, Canton 7] .2, Akron South 7, Canal Dover 6. Akron W est 0. Again Myers took individual honors, scoring 15 points. It is a great disappointment to be nosed out of first place in the last event, but we took our defeat gamely and began to pre- pare for the Mt. Union meet on the next Saturday. To say that we won the Mt. Union College meet would be putting it mildly. We did not merely win; we triumphed; we concjuered. The men of Salem High fought as they had never fought before. Pitted against the best athletes in this section of the state we more than held our own. W hen the meet was over we had won 29 points, Raven was second with 27, Massillon third with 25 and the others scattering. Myers tied for individual hon- ors. Not content with this feat the big boy proceeded to smash a few state records. He shattered the state record for the Shot Put by putting it 45 feet, 7J4 inches. Not having annexed enough fame to suit him lie then proceeded to hurl the discus 121 feet, 4 inches, and bang! went an- other state record. It is claimed that his discus heave is a National High School record, but this report lias not been sub- stantiated as we go to press. Great credit should also be given to Cruikshank. who, when Salem needed at least three points to win, took second place in the Running Broad and thus cinched the meet for us. Hutson and Rinehart also starred, the lat- ter man finishing ahead of Harrold. Mas- sill on?s famed sprinter in the 100 yd. dash. Four of our men, Myers, W'illaman, Hutson and Rinehart, are entered in the “Big Six'1 meet at Columbus. W hat they will do cannot be chronicled here but it goes without saying that when the final score is counted no “goose eggs” will fol- low the name of Salem High School. page one-hundred seven MARCH Wednesday, March 1—Seniors and Jun- iors enjoy sledload, Monday, March 6—Loud cry from Sen- ior Girls: “What will we wear for Com m e n cement ? ’!

Tines Tages erheilt ihre Mut- ter einen Brief von der Tante, in dem sie sagte dasz sie, sie am Montag be- suchen wtirde Am Mon tag seliickte die Tante ein Telegramen worin stand dasz sie ihren Zug versaunt liatte und dasz sie morgen zur selben Zeit abreisen wiirde. Das Madchen horchte auf ihre Mutter wahrend de dem sie es lasz. Dann ting sie an zu weinen. “Was ist los?” sagte die Mutter. “Ach,” sagte das Kind “Ich werde mei :e Tante nie sehen.” Was meinst du?” Nun wenn sie morgen zur selben Zeit abreiszt, vvird sie ihren Zug wieder versaumen. Walter A. Taylor, 17. AUF WIEDERSEHEN Hans war ein junger Kriegsmann in des Kaisers Kreigsdienst. So lange sein aterland in Frieden war, blieb Hans zu Hause auf einem Gut nahe bei Darm- stadt, Er wohnte bei seiner Mutter, Auf deni Nachbarsgut wohnte Rita, ein shones Madchen von sechzehn Jali- ren, mit seinem Vater. Diese Familien vvaren gute Freunde und besuehten einander oft. Als der Krieg anting, und der Kaiser seine Kriegsmannern zusammenerief, fur ihn zu kampfen. waren zwei Familien scbwer betrubt. Die Mutter wollte sich nicht trennen von ihrem Sohn, und das Madchen wurde semen Vater vermissen. Als die Zeit der Abreise kam muszten Rita und Hans “LebwohD sagen, aber seine Worte klangen in ihren Ohren, Die Worte waren, Auf Wiedersehen.” Die Mutter und Rita entscbieden sich Krankenwarterimien zu werden und trat- en auf das Schlaclitgeld urn Verwundeten zu pflegen. Wahrend des drittea Tages ihres Pfli elites, waren beide Kriegs- tn aimer entdeckt, Als Rita neben Hans nieder kniete konnte sie ihn, “Auf Wied- ersehn murmeln hore-i. Als die Soldaten genassen und nach Hause kommen konnten, waren vier Herzen glucklich, wegen der Heirat von Rita und Hans. Aber Rita vergasz nie die letzte Worte won ihrem Liebchen. ‘'Auf Wiederpehen.'4 Ruth McCave, 1917. j nage one-hundred ten BASTI AN BROTHERS COMPANY DESIGNERS AND MANUFACTURERS OF CLASS EMBLEMS.
