THE MIRROR The Class Histo of 1917 In September, 1913, the city of Sharon called to its service as a necessary measure its youthful citizens. 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.

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
