THE MIRROR HiSlory of the Class of ’Nineteen The great war had been raging for one year, when we started upon our career as the largest Freshman Class in the history of Sharon High. After being enrolled, wre proceeded to our class room. The teachers stood at the doors giving us a smiling welcome. Little was done that day except getting acquainted with our new home. The next day our real work began. Professor Canon had us under his care for English History and Physical Geography. Then came Miss Welch, who taught us English. Miss Gibbons presided in Latin and German, while Miss Boyce exposed us to Mathematics; a few of our number “took” it. We soon showed our ability to get our studies and, although genius are rare in high school, we surely surprised our teachers. We not only made good in our studies, but also in athletics, the girls having three players on the basket ball team. Many class teams were started during our first year. As the days rolled by we began to like our new studies and experiences. We grew to know each other and many “cases” sprang up between the boys and girls of our class. The rest of the year passed uneventfully, with the exception of a few raids on us by the upper classmen. At the end of the school year we held a picnic at Buhl Park and a fine time was experienced by all. When the tinie for the banquet came around, we had the honor of being the first Freshman Class to be at the Senior reception. This closed the memorable year. The second course of our race was undertaken with our numbers greatly decreased, but the rest still working hard toward our goal. We felt a little strange over in the “big” building, but, after a little while, our shyness wore off and once more we were at home. During this year, some of our enthusiastic Sophs decided that the color of our school was not exactly what it ought to be and proceeded to make alterations to that effect. The result can be easily seen about the building wrhere the glory of the Class of Nineteen is shown in blazing red numerals. In athletics our class was still a leader, having our girls still playing a good game, wrhile some of our boys had taken up foot ball training. Throughout the year many socials and dances were held. We wrere always out in large delegations to all the foot ball and basket ball games and supported the high school in every wray. We had the honor of having the largest delegation present at the banquet. It w as during this year that our Historian and Prophet entered our ranks. Twenty-nine
