The purpose of this call was to increase their knowledge and wisdom and to further protect the city from a wave of illiteracy. A hundred and thirty youthful patriots joyfuly responded. This was the largest number which had been enrolled up to this time. These young recruits werem ustered into service in the barracks on Penn Avenue. The commander-in-chief of the forces was Prof. W. I). Gamble. On account of the large number, this force had to he divided into three regiments, called A, B, and C. Prof. Canon had main charge of these three forces hut was nobly assisted by Miss Boyce who headed the “B” division and Miss Boyle who headed the “C” division. After everything was arranged, the work of drilling began. Cap-lain Canon instructed in Physical eGography; Captain Boyce in English, and Captain Boyle in German. The Captains of the youthful recruits certainly became startled at the way they grasped the studies. Each one tried to beat the other and that is what brought success lo their class. The month of October found the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors united in order to make the so-called “Freshmen” take their medicine. They did not realize what a task they had undertaken, but their jealousy caused them to unite against the Presides. It wasn’t long before the Presides had found out that they were supposed to accept green and yellow as their colors. This they refused to do. Under the able leadership of Sergeant Robert Kay, a husky youth from South Carolina, the Freshmen held a meeting and decided to come to their camp decorated in red and white. On the following morning many streets and sidewalks were covered with red and white paint, and all the'recruits were arrayed with the same colors. The other three forces boldly attacked the Freshmen on the battlefield at State and Chestnut Streets and for fully a half hour the battle raged without either side gaining a victory. At last the invading forces began to retreat to their barracks on Water Street, and the youthful Freshmen joyfully went back to their camp. After the roll call every one of the brave Freshmen was found to be present, but instead of being decorated with red and white colors proudly carried black eyes, scratched faces and some were minus several teeth. But everyone was cheerful and gay, and everyone of them showed his fighting spirit not only in this fight, but all year in his studies. About the middle of October the athletic season had its opening. Foot ball recruits were called for. In this affair the plucky Freshmen also showed their spirit. No regiment up to this time had ever turned Twenty-two THE MIRROR cut as many men for the Varsity as did the Freshmen. The members who successfully aided the Varsity were Robert Kay, Victor Leffing-well and Paul Gibson. In basket ball and base ball they were very active. The girls also showed their spirit when they enlisted for the girls’ basket ball team. Rut only one member was successful in landing a berth. This was Roneita Canon—a star in every way. It was by her excellent playing that the team made such a splendid showing. She not only contributed her valuable services in the Freshman year, but also for the three following years. At the latter part of the year the three divisions united and adopted a motto, which is still retained by the regiment. The motto is: “Impossible Is Un-American.” Thus with all these adventures the Freshman year came to a close. Sophomore Year. After three months of enjoyable vacation, they were again called back for active service. Nearly every member attained promotion and was now called a Sophomore. Their quarters were no longer at Penn Avenue, but at the barracks on Water Street. They were the largest Sophomore class up to that time. On account of being very active in the Freshman year the Sophomores were looked upon with much respect. During the summer vacation Commander-in-Chief Gamble sent scouts all over the United States to find a General to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Attorney Ira R. McNeal as Principal of the High School. The scouts certainly accomplished some feat when they discovered such an able leader as Prof. P. A. Jones. He was found commanding a force at Martins Ferry, Ohio. Without loss of time, commander-in-chief Gamble quickly sent for this able leader. He took command of his forces in September, 1914, and has ever since filled this high position in a most satisfactory and capable manner. As the Sophomore year advanced many members again distinguished themselves by taking part in athletics. The following represented our class in addition to those of the Freshmen year: A. Fornof, Howard Harris and Norman Hoelzle. The fighting spirit was again evidenced in the Sophomore year. They fought ,hard in athletics, studies and one member even went as far as to fight with one of the Captains. In order to have the recruits more closely united they found it necessary to elect a leader and associates. After permission was received, Victor Leffingwell was elected President and Roneita Canon and Margaret Rrainard his cabinet aids. They kept all the recruits well united and also carried on other affairs in a very capable and satisfactory manner. Twenty-three THE MIRROR The first half of the term of enlistment came to a close as the Sophomore year ended, and everybody was again dismissed for the summer vacation. The Junior Year. After waiting patiently, the Junior term arrived. Every one again returned to serve and protect his city from the wave of illiteracy. The drilling this year became more difficult but each one held to his fighting spirit and faithfully worked as hard as he had the two preceding years. The knowledge of every member was now increasing therefore raising the standard of scholarship. The time had now come when new officers were to be elected for the coming year. And in order to stick by their aim of high standards, they therefore elected a member who represented the famed class very nicely. This lad was Harold Hildebrand, a “Seven Footer.” Thus they continually raised the standards of the class. His cabinet aids were Clara Gamble and Catherine Brainard. During the Christmas vacation a scout from Avalon High school visited Sharon Hi’s camps and after holding an interview with Prof. Perley, urged him to resign and take command of the forces at Avalon High. This meant a big loss to the whole army as Captain Perley was a good and able leader. It was through his excellent drilling that the Seventeeners turned out such good athletes. But General Jones soon discovered another expert when he found Prof. Howard Boyd, a husky and very ambitious leader. He was drafted from Mercer High, where he had command of the forces. He is taking Captain Perley’s place in an excellent manner. His work in “Lab” is unsurpassed, turning liquids into solids much quicker than a magician could do. About the latter part of April, Farrell High issued a Challenge to Sharon for a dual debate. The Challenge was accepted and volunteers were called for. Again the Seventeeners showed their spirit, when out of eight debaters five were from that class. They were Josephine Roberts, Cecil Lurie, Harold Hildebrand and Ben and Reuben Sacharow. The schools shared honors equally, each team winning at its home town. The girls took no back seat and exhibited their spirit when under the leadership of Miss Brown they formed a Glee Club. Almost every girl of the Seventeeners joined it, and before the year was over successfully staged a Chinese Operetta. The summer months once more rolled around releasing everybody for the vacation. The Senior Year. During the three months of vacation things were turned upside down. Two of Cupid’s unerring darts struck and fatally wounded Miss Ruth Brown and Miss Price. They were taken away from the forces and safely bound by the ties of Matrimony. Twenty-four THE MIRROR In October, 1917, the regiment which had proven to be superior to the other forces, came back for the last time. They started things moving in a lively manner. The German students accomplished their work so good that Captain Diefenderfer had no trouble. Captain Rainey’s Latin sharks held conferences and decided that Caesar’s plan of war should be tried at present and that it would surely mean defeat for the Kaiser. Captain Boyd certainly was proud of his recruits when they discovered a speedometer that could throw five hundred feet of light a mile. It became necessary about the middle of the year to choose new class officers. Harold Leffingwell was chosen president; Frank Brandt vice president, and Howard Jones, secretary-treasurer. Poetry seemed to ve everybody’s favorite so Captain Randall informed all the members that her favorite poem “L’Allegro” must be committed. So well was the poem liked that several members of the Seventeeners asked to recite the poem again during the Senior vacation. Cupid again visited their camps and took away Hazel Gardner, thus decreasing the graduating list. On April 29 an automobile accident occurred, taking the lives of two members of the school. Prof. Hanavan Alderman was a leader at the camp and was well liked by all. His death caused much sorrow among all his friends. Henry Maxwell, the other victim of the wreck, was a member of the graduating class of Seventeen. He was a bright and clever lad and also a very good worker for the High School ‘Mirror.” It was on account of his excellent management that the Mirror” had such successful season in 1915-16. He always had a kind word and a friendly smile for everybody. So with the usual ending of Class Night, High School Banquet, and Commencement, the history of the class of nineteen hundred seventeen ends. Their record is one which is to be envied. Over one-fourth of the class were honor students. The achievements of the seventeeners on the athletic field—the greater awakening of the school during their presence in it—all point to the Class of 1917 as one of the best ever graduated from Sharon Hi. JACK FREYMAN, Class Historian. Twenty-five THE MIRROR — Class Poem Oh, Senior Class, well thou has said, “We are a mighty class,” We’ll climb the rungs where fame has led, O ’er every narrow pass. The common things of every day. We meet from hour to hour; We find them on our life’s pathway, They are of life, the flower. The things we wish, our high desires, To rise to fame in this wide world; Seem to rouse our human fires, All our ambitions are unfurled. The longing for ignoble things Has never come to us in life, We hope for pearls and diamond rings, And to pick us out a loving wife. We’ve got the brightest class around, You've often heard of us, Our praises you will hear resound, Now please don’t make a fuss. We started in the Freshman Class, To win our laurels fair; And tho’ all of us did not pass, Most of us got there. As Sophomores we could not be beat, We were a motley crew, We did many a wond’rous feat, And were always in a stew. The Junior year quite soon rolled past, And we grew brighter yet; 'Twas often said we went so fast, We had no time to fret. Our Senior year! The best of all! It dawned, it came, too soon; It started in the frosty fall, It ended in lovely June. The days have gone, have flitted by Like shadows in the night, But in our minds they did not die, As we too strove for right. Twenty-six THE MIRROR We’ve often been quite naughty, We’ve acted awfully bad, Then the teachers got quite haughty At us, they were pretty ‘ mad. ’ ’ We’ve had one good time also, As our past actions show; We wrote notes when we wished to, To our “sweetheart” or our “beau.” Yes, the notes we passed ’twas outrageous, To get them past teacher’s eye; But seeing them was contagious, Then we often tho’t we'd die. For they’d read them right off the rostrum, And care for our feelings not, Then into the basket they’d pop them, It certainly made us hot. Lots more of these pranks we did in school, That the faculty tho’t wicked, And many a dispute we had, ’Till we tho’t we would get kick ed. We mixed the books together, We spread paint everywhere, And made Demosthenes look like A replica of vanity fair. We tied a tin can to the doggie, And took apart the bell; Oh, weren’t we awful children, But us they couldn’t expel. Oh yes, we got kept in for talking, Also our seats they did change, ’Till often we tho’t of balking, To quell their actions strange. With spring there came spring fever, We were struck by the beautiful weather; Then, of dreams, we were a weaver, We felt as light as a feather. But listen to us, oh Freshmen And take your elder’s advice; Don’t try to go the limit, ’Cause you know it isn’t nice. And Sophomores also hear us, Why aren’t you dignified ? We never acted like you do; If we did, I think we’d hide. Twenty-seven THE MIRROR But last of all, ye Juniors, Just follow us and see. When ye are lofty Seniors How much better you will be. Then you will often think of us And say: “Oh, weren’t they grand, They’ll surely go to heaven, And with the angels stand.’’ Of course we are the model school Of all the country round, And if you look for others, You will see they can’t be found. Next year the halls will not resound With the stepping of our feet, But there will be more to take our place, And that of course will be meet. Now, we’ve told you our faults and our merits, And hope we've not kept you too long, We have proved that we’re all 18 karats, That’s the burden of our song. But we’ll never cease to think of you, Old Sharon Hi so dear; And wo hope the one to come, Will be just such a prosperous year. Farewell Juniors and Sophomores too, And also Freshmen green, We hope that you will not forget The class of seventeen. — Clara Gamble and Howard Jones, Class Poets. THE MIRROR Class Song Tune: “Naughty, Naughty, Naughty.” They’re worried—who’s worried? All of the classes. And there’s a reason why, It’s all on account of the “rep” that we’ve got Tor getting honor, fame, and what not. In Hi School spirit we took a part; We were quite known from the start. CHORUS: O famed class of seventeen! Greatest of all; Both large and small. We’re the pride of Sharon Hi, All do praise you to the sky. We’ve a record so clean and bright The others envy us with all their might, Because they know of all our whole big Hi school We’re the only class that’s all right. They’re weeping—who’s weeping! Why all the teachers, Because we’re going away. They say with brilliance we surely are blessed. Of all their classes, why ours was the best; In all athletics we had a share, You must admit we’re right there. CHORUS: talAHSOH THE MIRROR FLOHErtCE uknsay An. IBW BUCKLE Thirty THE MIRROR History of Class of 1918 Well, here we are! Safely past over the three hardest years of our High School career. Another year yet you say? Well, that will not be so difficult—so our elders tell us. Not a dead one among us and I guess we’ve lived up to the reputation. I can clearly see that morning, somewhat before nine o’clock when we fellows gathered at the corner near the building that was soon to be our school abode for the future year. It didn’t take us long to get established and we settled down to the work ahead of us. Well, as I said before there wrasn’t a dead one among us and we showed it by turning out foot ball candidates in the fall and base ball candidates next spring. I think we all remember that Freshman picnic we had at the close of the term and it still gives us pleasant memories of happy bygone days. Who could forget that memorable lunch in the shade “of the old apple trees”? Well, time passes fast, but we lost no time the next year in responding again to the school’s activities. Foot ball, basket ball and base ball were well supported by the Sophomores of that year. And what about the Girls’ Athletic Association? 1 guess it lacked no Sophomore representatives, did it? Later on in the year “Doc” Taylor was elected President of the class and we certainly felt as if we were something, then. Last fall we entered the school as full-fledged Juniors, eagerly awaiting whatever the term had in store for us. And it was not long before we found out—more foot ball and basket ball candidates than ever, and an increase in school activities. The Junior Class Pins were distributed the early part of the year and from then on we had something to show for ourselves. And so—still active in wisdom and pleasure, the Class of 1918 has arrived at the gate of the great Seniorship, which has been our aim since our first day as Freshmen.

Entered as Second Class Matter, March 13, 1912, at the post office at Sharon, Pa., under Act of March 3, 1879. Published monthly during the school year by the students of the Sharon High School. THE PAST YEAR. Well, here we are at the end of a most profitable and enjoyable year! Sharon High has succeeded in every one of her activities and many new and interesting customs have taken the place of old ones. In foot ball, we played some of the best teams in the vicinity and defeated tliem by good scores. In basket ball we were even more successful than in foot ball. In defeating Warren, Ohio, we not only defeated a strong team, but acquired a reputation for ourselves. Our loss to Mercer by one point was hardly a defeat since we had a number of things to contend against. Much of our success in boys’ athletics can be traced to the able coaching of Prof. Buckley. Our girls’ b sket ball team covered itself with so much glory that comment is unnecessary. Dramatic ability was unearthed when under the able coaching of Prof. Alderman, it was decided to stage “The Man From Home.’’ Owing to his untimely death, the play was dropped, but dramatics will probably be actively pushed forward next year. The standard of scholarship has been kept up at the same time these activities are carried on for more than one-fourth of the class are on the honor roll. So it is that each year Sharon Hi oentinues to become more and more famous for her activities and spirit. ’Thirty-five THE MIRROR The Convention of N. C. A. of H. S. J. at EaSt Liverpool, Ohio Our destination was East Liverpool, where the third annual convention of the North Central Association of High School Journalists was being held. The delegates who gathered at the station were: Harold Hildebrand, John Carlile, Paul Shatto, Carl Meyer and Howard Sample, and their purpose was to represent this paper and to secure, if possible, the next convention for Sharon. So it was with expectant hearts, with the intention of combining business w'ith pleasure, these students were borne over the steel rails of the Pennsylvania Railroad to the destination. With wondering, admiring glances, we stared about as if comparing the size and beauty of the city with our own home town. It was one of these rambling glances that several laughing, burly, good-natured fellows were observed pushing their way through the crowd about the station. Straight toward us they came. “From Sharon?” the foremost inquired, at the same time distributing our baggage among his mates. “You bet!” we replied as one. Then followed an introduction all around. My, but it felt good! It made us realize that we were really and truly welcome. The greetings completed they led us through the station to where several automobiles were parked. Climbing aboard we were whirled over the winding streets to the High School. It was here that we were introduced to numerous other visiting delegates on the same errand as ourselves. Then the registration over and the houses at which we were to sleep that night having been made known, all delegates were given small ribbons which testified that they belonged to the journalists ’ association. Next the Sharon bunch headed straight for the Y. M. C. A.—there to appease the gnawing hunger that had bothered us in the last few' hours. Promptly at one, we were again on hand. Having 30 minutes before the session began we roamed through the High School, w'hich by the way is sure some school. About the time our little stroll was ended, the session was ready to begin. It was opened by Mr. Pohner, President of the Association, who called upon Mr. Warren, Superintendent of the East Liverpool Schools, to deliver the address of w'elcome. After this followed the Round Table, a series of short addresses by the different editors leading up to a general discussion of the betterment and welfare of the school papers. Among those who gave interesting talks were Lloyd L. Leonard of the “Bucyrian, ” Bucyrus, O.; Miss Bessie Rosenblum of the “Monitor,” New Castle, Pa.; Donald Rebillot, manager of the “Canton High School Monthly,” Canton, O.; Miss Josephine Bennett of the “Voice of South High,” Youngstown, O.; Harold B. Hildebrand, editor of the “Mirror,” Sharon,. Pa., and Millard E. Blythe, an advertising man- of wide experience. At three o ’clock the meeting was over and again we were left to ourselves. Taking advantage of this opportunity, accompanied by a Mr. Arodrey of East Liverpool, together with a number of other delegates, we started out “to see the city.” Mr. Vodrev is to be congratulated upon the admirable manner in which he provided entertainment. On our walk about the city, the Elk’s Hall, the Thirty-six THE IvIIRROR “Millionaires’ Club,’’ and various other places of interest were shown to us. We especially enjoyed our experience at the “Millionaires’ Club.’’ At 6 we again stood before the Elk’s Ilall, for there the big feature of the evening, the banquet, was to take place. What hospitality pervaded the group! Although we had shaken hands with the different delegates until our arms ached, for the lives of us, we could remember but very few names. But there you did not have to know a person’s name to become acquainted with him. The journalists seemed to be students of but one school; who had known each other all their lives. You did not need an introduction; no cold formalities were necessary. East Liverpool was wisely chosen as the place for the convention, as the hospitality and friendly spirit showrn by its students were remarkable. They did their best to make the visitors feel at home, and the delegates catching the spirit, felt at home. Everything was provided for their entertainment. After the banquet those who wished to dance were taken to the dance hall, where again the students’ exertions made things go. The tired ones were convoyed by automobiles to the homes at which they were to pass the night. Four of the Sharon contingent went to the home of George Kidder, while the other was taken to the home of John Kelly. The Sharon delegates wish to express the greatest thanks to these two families for the comfortable and hospitable wray in which they were made to feel at home. Early Saturday morning found the delegates assembled in the High School where the business end of the convention was to be held. Various speculations were rife as to which school would procure the next convention. There were three schools who desired this convention: Niles, Canton and Sharon. Every member of each aspiring school did his best to influence others of different schools. When the convention was called to order it became known that only two schools were in the race, Canton and Sharon. It was pointed out that expansion was the slogan in judging the next convention. Both cities had equal facilities for transportation and for providing entertainment. Then the editor of the “Mirror’’ staff arose and stated that as the convention had been held three successive times in Ohio, it ought this time to be held in Pennsylvania, as there were as yet few Keystone High Schools represented. Next the manager of the Canton paper expressed his opinion. Finally a vote was taken of all the schools present, with the result that Sharon obtained the next convention. After this followed the election of officers. Two members of the Sharon “Mirror’’ staff were elected: John Carlile as president, and Howard Sample as secretary-treasurer. Lester Hughes of the Warren “High School Life,’’ was chosen as vice president, while Miss Josephine Bennett of the “Voice of South High,’’ Youngstown, was reelected exchange editor. Prof. It. H. Allison of the Warren High Schools was chosen as the faculty advisor. Although this meeting practically ended the convention it was not until 3:26 Saturday afternoon that the Sharon delegates bade farewell to East Liverpool. Our visit there had been both a profitable and a pleasurable one. And it was not without a sigh of regret that each watched the city buildings gradually disappear from lAew; for we had appreciated the hospitable and kindly spirit shown us by its inhabitants. As we settled comfortably back in our seats, Paul Shatto awoke from his train-sickness long enough to remark: “We had the bulliest time ever.’’ And we echoed this statement. So students, as the next convention has been secured for Sharon, let us get together and pull for the association. Show that as great a spirit as the one displayed in East Liverpool exists in Sharon High. Let us set an example by their hospitality and friendliness, and prove to the next year’s delegates that Sharon cannot be outdone in hospitality; just as it has proven before that it cannot be outdone in athletics.

There they were all welcomed by the teachers and so began the first day of the Class of ’Nineteen. In a few days things settled down to their usual methods and we buckled down to our new work. After nine months of this tireless (?) labor we had at last mastered the arts of our Freshman studies. On the last day of our Freshman year, we had a large picnic at Buhl Farm which was attended by a large number of us. Then followed four months of vacation during which time some of us were employed at home and abroad, while others went to different parts of our country for the sake of enjoyment and pleasure. Various sorts of dances, parties and luncheons were also held in this same period of time. At last we entered into a new epoch, that of our Sophomore year. After a somewhat belated opening, we again were employed in our daily routine work. But not to make this work too dull, amusements w’ere thrown in which were greatly enjoyed by a majority of Sophomores. Then again in many ways the Sophomore class has been of benefit to Sharon Hi. When the call came for subscribers to the “Mirror,” about seventy-five per cent of us took up this measure. We have also supported the various organizations of the school, such as the athletic associations. And so, thil being our last days as Sophomores, may we enter into a new era as Juniors, and may the Class of Nineteen be the biggest and best ever turned out by good old Sharon Hi. Forty-five THE MIRROR 1 Forty-six FRESHMAN CLASS THE MIRROR History of Class of 1920 Vacation has come at last, freeing about one hundred forty deserving, hard-working Freshmen from thraldom. Yet our captivity has not been distasteful, for our army of buds has had able generalship through the tortuous path of learning. At first the work was difficult, but obstacles soon faded when a host of determined Freshies put their shoulders to the wheel. We have explored the unknown, hidden realms of Latin, delved blindly in the awful gloom of the bottomless pit of Algebra, written themes with “unpremeditated art,” and traced back English History with a certainty of reckoning surprising in those still unskilled in the master steps of knowledge. The building that housed us during these months of labor bears no resemblance to the ancient halls of learning, but, as Diogenes lived in a tub, might not eager aspirants of knowledge toil in a building whose unpainted exterior gives no inkling to the wonder work achieved within? And it is ever true that Age loves the company of Youth. “Literary” was something new, but, though we are not all debaters, we accustomed ourselves to it with all the grace and suppleness of a spring twig, rich in the uncondensed freshness of its sap. But our education, though deep, is also thorough. We have not neglected the domestic or manly arts, and every Monday and Tuesday we go to become skilled in studies other than of the mind. This year’s Freshman Class are boosters. A large number of Mirror subscriptions were secured, and a banquet was held for the division getting the most subscribers. In athletics, too, we have been staunch supporters. Not that any of us “made” the foot ball or basket ball team, but what five, what eleven, has marched on the way to victory without cheers, encouragement, or even good advice ? None! And what can be so invigorating as the sound of yells issuing from the vigorous throats of excited Freshmen Nothing; so by our cheering, and other weignty actions on the side lines, we claim a share in the athletic glory of Sharon High. Having thus passed brilliantly through our first year, we do not fear the size or grandeur of the Study Hall. Indeed we will welcome it, as a wider field to display and strengthen our accepted talents, always remembering that above class, study ad play must stand the name and fame of our High School. Ferty-seven THE MIRROR THE MIRROR Foot Ball, Season 1916 Sharon Hi has just concluded one of the most successful years in the history of the school in athletics. Coached by “Ted” Buckley, one of “Sharon’s Own,” the teams have worked as never before. Suffering only one defeat in foot ball and that by the narrow margin of one point, I Sharon Hi has proven the fact that it has one of the strongest teams in the vicinity. The team has been ably captained by “Vic” Leffingwell, who will graduate this year. William Thomas managed the team and from a financial standpoint, the season has been a wonderfully successful one. Although the team will lose quite a number of stars by graduation, there is a fine showing of candidates remaining. An interesting and hard schedule is in the making for next fall and the orange and black will quite likely annex their share of the laurels. The scores for the season were: Sharon Hi_.................. 6 Sharon Hi................. — 6 Sharon Hi-..................67 Sharon Hi-......-.......... 55 Sharon H5_................. 0 Sharon Hi...................16 Total ................. -....-150 Grove City___________________3 Beaver Falls ____________ .- 7 Leetonia ................... 7 New Wilmington ____________ 0 Meadville _______________ 0 Greenville _________________ 0 Total ______________________ 17 Forty-nine THE MIRROR BASKET BALL TEAM THE MIRROR Boys’ Basket Ball Also due in a great measure to Prof. Buckley’s coaching, we have had an excellent basket ball season. The team averaged lighter in weight than in previous years but were speedier on the floor. The team was captained by “Vic” Leflfingwell. “Doc” Taylor piloted the financial end and left us a goodly sum in the treasury. The basket ball team will lose more men by graduation than will the foot ball team, but some promising new material will soon be able to take their places. Much was accomplished this year in the growth of school spirit. The special street car to Warren, Ohio, carried more than one hundred ahd twenty-five rooters who aided in winning one of the hardest, if not the hardest game of the year by the score of 35-34. Later in the season about two hundred rooters journeyed to Youngstown in a special coach attached to an Erie train. The second shock of such fine support so upset the Warren team that eyen on the neutral Y. M. C. A. floor, they were defeated by the score of 63-23. The first organized cheering of any magnitude was brought about this year under the leadership of Harold Hildebrand and Guerdon Leffingwell. Previous to this, most efforts at organized cheering have fallen through, but indications point to a much more lively school next year. The scores annexed by our five were: Sharon Hi 41 Alumni 19 Sharon Hi 25 Meadville 19 Sharon Hi Warren Sharon Hi .... 37 New Brighton 29 Sharon Hi 24 •Meadville Sharon Hi 35 Warren 34 Sharon Hi 30 Niles 20 Sharon Hi 58 Westminster Freshies ......25 Sharon Hi 25 •Niles 41 Sharon Hi 4. 63 tWarren 23 Total 378 Total 282 Abroad. t At Youngstown Y.

Fifty-one 9 THE MIRROR GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM THE MIRROR Girls’ Basket Ball Sharon High Girls’ Basket Ball Team of the season 1916-17 piled up one of the finest records ever gathered by a local team by their efforts in the past season. Of a total of seven games played, six of them resulted in victories for the local sextette. The season opened at home with the Midget Tossers from Con-neautville. The game was “easy picking” for the locals, the result being 54-15. Then followed in quick succession the downfall of every opponent met until the final game of the season which was lost to the Greenville Girls’ team, the score being 14-11. The teams that were met by the locals both at home and abroad that suffered defeat are as follows: Warren, Duchess Club, Greenville High, Girard High, Con-neautville Midgets twice. The locals piled up a total of 189 points to their opponents 68. The local team was captained by Miss Myrtle Routman and this young lady played a good game at her forward position all year, position and upheld the reputation that she has held for the past Miss Boneita Canon, who managed the team, played the other forward three years for her remarkable ability at shooting. Miss Henrietta Scholtz played jumping center in a manner that won the approval of all the fans and “Hen” certainly could go up into the air. Miss Gladys Robinson earned a nickname of “Scrappy” by the hard game that she put up at the back center position. At guards, Miss Lurie and Miss Leffingwell held down their opponents to the fewest number of field goals that have ever been scored on a Sharon team. They set a record that will be hard to surpass, in that, during the first three games, not one field goal was registered by any opposing team. Only one of these girls graduate this spring, Miss Canon, and although the team will lose in her a four year letter “man,” and despite the fact fhat she was the most expert shot that has ever played on a Sharon team, the outlook for the coming season is excellent. Miss Lola Randall of the High School Faculty coached the team during the past season. Fifty-three THE MIRROR Fifty-four THE MIRROR The Orchestra This year the Sharon “Hi” School Orchestra has, as is its custom, displayed its ability upon the musical field. It has played on several occasions and has always been well received. It has very often been said that “music has charms.” Looking back over the year’s events we are inclined to believe this, for, very often where Sharon “Hi” has had great success the Orchestra has played. For instance, take the Sharon-Westminster game and picture show given by the “Hi” School, at the Club not long ago. They were successful, were they not? Well then, use your imagination! The Sharon “ Hi ” Orchestra played for both of these events!!! Then looking back over the term the students will remember a certain Wednesday morning when the Orchestra gave a musical program. On this occasion, in addition to the selections given by the Orchestra, some of the members entertained with solos. That their efforts were appreciated by students, was shown by the many requests for another similar entertainment. But as the time was limited, the Orchestra was unable to comply with this wish. That the Orchestra is progressing is shown by the fact that for the first time in its history, it has funds with which to buy music. Prof. Jones, the leader of the Orchestra, deserves much credit for his work with it, for regardless of how busy he was, he always found time to practice with the Orchestra. The Orchestra will play for the last time on Memorial Day and after that, all be prepared to give:—“Three cheers for Sharon ‘Hi’ Orchestra.” Fifty-five THE MIRROR ALUMNI George Ramsay, valedictorian of class of ’16, was also highly honored at Washington and Jefferson College this year, being elected President of the Freshman Class.

Sixty-two THE MIRROR ENLIST In the present world-wide crisis, a time when the safety of the nation is involved, a duty rests upon the civilian, equally vital with that of the soldier.

Are you thinking of taking a college course? Now is the time to decide that T question, as a high school course prepares you for the college. There are many vo- £ X cations in which you may be successful without a college education, but you can T never be at vour best, and, moreover, some fields of human effort will be closed to T X you altogether. It is no doubt true also that in any vocation you may choose you £ can do better with a college education than without it. But that is not the main thing. ♦$ ♦j What it? It is the facts that a higher education enlarges your life; it broad- ens your vision; it gives you power; it strengthens your judgment; it leads you into «g� ♦ new fields of thought; it reveals to you new meanings in nature about you; it lays 4 before you the treasures of the civilizations of the past; it gives you a better under- ♦ 4 standing of history and literature and science; it enables you to see deeper into 4 4 everything. 4 What will it cost? It will cost money; it will mean hard work, and above all it 4 T will take several of the best years of your youth. Is it worth the price? The cost in money is only an incident. Your obtaining a higher education is not a matter of money. It is a matter of will, determination, energy, vision. If £ V you have these, you can get anything; if you have not these, you should not go to T X college. The years of hard study need not be irksome; they should be enoyable. X X Students are a jolly set, optimistic, and most of them enjoy their college days im- X X mensely and look back to them when they are past as the happiest in their whole 1 X career. X «$� Wil you go to college, my Dear Young Friend? There are many reasons why you should. If you do, please remember that Thiel College is very near, that its edu- X 4 cational standard is high. Come and see. Very sincerely yors, «L HENRY W.

The Direct Action was always famous for many points of superiority over other gas ranges. With the addition of the Oven Regulator there is no other range that can equal it. The Regulator enables you to measure the oven heat precisely. There is no thermometer to watch or read. All you do is set a marked wheel valve that gives you fifty different oven temperatures. The most wonderful part is that you can always repeat any temperature to a degree as often as you like. Whatever degree gives you best success for any particular recipe can always be repeated at will. Isn’t that splendid? You never guess—YOU ALWAYS KNOW. The leading Domestic Science Experts of the Country have endorsed the Regulator.

Don’t content yourself with the determination to merely open a savings account. Resolve to maintain an active one—one that will reflect credit on you a year hence. Don’t let the wrong idea get the upper hand. Don’t say, “I won’t open a savings account just yet; I’ll wait until I can save a good deal at a time.” That idea is blocking many a road to prosperity. Begin now, with what you can—isn’t there enough in your pocket this minute to open a savings account? And take another saver with you when you go to hank. First National Bank SHARON, PA.
