Tit memory of 3anet Allen, ’20 deceased October 26,1020 Our dear classmate and friend Thirty THE MIRROR History of the Class of 1920 “This is tiie place. Stand still my steed, Let me review the scene And summon from the Shadowy Past The forms that once have been.’’ It was in the year 1917 that we, a little hand of Presides, unsophisticated. half-scared to death, started at the foot of he Mountain of 11i«� ;li School Learning. We fastened our loads, consisting of Algebra, Latin, English and Physical Geography on our backs and began the difficult climb. Many of us staggered under our heavy burdens, and a few were even forced to drop some by the way-side in order to arrive at the summit at all. When we had become well accustomed to our new duties our path began to broaden. Literary societies were organized and our never-to-be-forgotten first debate, which was memorized word for word, was rattled off. Hoorn C became the society center of the class and sleigh loads, skating parties and Valentine parties followed each other in rapid succession. School life in Room E. at the Main Building, was also one social whirl. That fall “Tubby” Leffingwell and “Ken” Allen made the foot ball squad. Oh, the thrill of that first foot ball game! It made us “Presides” feel less isolated in the Old Annex. In the spring we deposited our loads at the Station of Finished Work, for a three months’ rest, before we should again take up our climb. Reputed to be a class promising great scholastic achievements, we gathered at the Sophomore Station to assume our new burdens for our second year’s ascent. But we did not live up to our reputation, but proved that as a class, athletics were our outstanding talents. Harry Wilson had joined us that year and starred in foot ball and basket ball. We were also represented in the foot ball squad by Harry Sample. During that year the great war was raging and much of the frivolity and pleasure was taken from us, while a deeper realization of the seriousness of life came upon us. We learned what self-sacrifice meant and for those years of war our lives will profit. For two years we had wandered here and there along the trail without organization. But this third year of our ascent we were developing rapidly, our viewpoint was broadening, we could stand and look back down the Mountain into the Valley of Childhood; we could look ahead and see the summit getting nearer and nearer each day. Thirty-one THE MIRROR We decided that the time had come when we must organize our class, so we elected: I lurry Wilson—President. Marie Weible—Vice President. Clara I)iffenderfer—Secretary-Treasurer. In athletics, as usual, our class shone. )n the foot ball squad there was llarrv Wilson, Joe Thompson, Earl Davis. Charles Taggart and John Egbert of ’20; while on the basket ball team Earl Davis, Joe Thompson, Harry Wilson and Granville Turner played for our glory. Our class was also represented in Girls’ Basket Ball by Levinia ilson. During this year the “A. A.” Club formerly called the “B. T. N.” was founded. It was composed of ten of the girls of ’20 who loved hiking, swimming, and the woods. Many are the pots of fragrant coffee, juicy steaks, and roasted potatoes that they have consumed around a roaring fire, the making of which with them has been an art. They were the first to find the trailing arbutus hidden beneath its winter coating of leaves in the spring and the last to bid farewell to the golden-brown leaves of fall. Feeling extremely ancient we reported at the Senior Station for the last long, hard stretch to the top. Just about the first thing we did was to organize our class. Edward Iluether was elected president; Earl Davis, vice president; and Harry Boyd, secretary-treasurer. With this good beginning we went to our tasks with more vim and vigor than before. The foot ball team with a representation of the same five and the addition of John Arbuekle, Ted Iluether, and Marry Boyd was a winner. And the basket ball team on which starred the same four members that represented our class during our Junior year was the best Sharon High has yet produced. They went out to conquer and become champions of Northwestern Pennsylvania and at the Tourney at State proved themselves to stand high among the four strongest teams of Pennsylvania. Speaking of basket ball, the girls had a wonderful team, too, and we’re sure that if State Tournaments were held for girls they’d make Ihe “old school” realize that the boys weren’t its only champions. The class of ’20 contributed four members to Ibis team: Captain Levinia Wilson, Manager Isabelle Hoelzle, the fast forward. Patricia Flinn, and flic star guard, Mildred Devore. If athletics did come first in the class of ihe Purple and White, yet we haven’t neglected other phases of school activity. This is proven by the fact that we’ve had many of our members efficient and steady workers on the “Mirror,” and by the many social times in which our Thirty-two THE MIRROR class lias participated. We’ve had two successful class dances and Ihe “K. K.’s” a secret organization have entertained with several “rousing” good parties. Then our boys got the habit of holding Senior stags this year. What happened at these was a considerable mystery, but here’s a little sketch that sheds a bit of light on them. The Refreshment Committee l-ushed wildly into the kitchen where a “500”? ? game of four was supposed to be guarding the “eats” to see naught but four coat tails disappearing down the cellar steps. Looking around they discovered that several bricks of ice cream were missing. So the eommittee gave chase but the villains escaped. Later “Skinney” Boyd and “Whistler” Wilson were found in Ihe cellar in convulsions. Sometime afterward Dick Payne appeared looking like an advertisement for a cream separator, for a stream of cream was running out his coat pocket. Dick had forgotten the small item of half a brick concealed in his pocket. We realize that our success during our four years’ climb lias been in a great part due to our leaders, the teachers of Sharon High. As we look around us we see few of the familiar faces of four years ago for there have been many changes in the Faculty since we started as Preshmen. This last year we have a new principal. Professor Ferrell, who succeeded Professor Jones. But to the teachers that have been and to these that are now, the class of ’20 will always be grateful for their earnest endeavors to lead us successfully up the Mountain of High School Learning. Now we have reached the very summit of this mountain. As we look before us over the Higher Mountains of College and of Life we realize that graduation does not mean the leaving off of all achievements, but a promotion to better things. Though we have reached the summit of the Mountain of High School Learning, yet we have just begun to climb tin Mountain of Life. As we go on with a set purpose, with a determination to succeed, let us not forget our class motto. “Build for character, not for fame.” And let us remember also those immortal lines of Longfellow.: “ Build today, then, strong and sure. With a firm and ample base, And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain. And one boundless reach of sky.” Thirty-three Class Song Written by Arthur Cusick (To tune of “Carolina Sunshine”) With diplomas in our hand I lore goes another gallant band, In the footsteps of the years before, At Sharon Hi we’ll be no more. Time may come and time may go, Class may follow class in time, Leaving us their reps, now “Twenty” steps, With its class the first in line. CHORUS Now we’re thru with all our studies, And tin1 toils and pains are past; Some day you’ll be just where we are, Graduates from Hi at last. Good-bye Sharon Hi and teachers, You’ll be sorry and feel blue, For the little angels take their leave When Twenty goes, that’s true. In the future year, just wait, All the worldly honors we’ll take, Old Twenty’s name will go from coast to coast, Then the time for Sharon to boast; In the many years to come We’ll tell the world the reason why We say that Twenty’s rep began In our years at Sharon Hi. Class Poem THE MIRROR The Class of Twenty’s at the end Of its High School career; We leave behind the High School trials The joys, the work, the fears. The old West Annex saw us come, And now it sees us go, And when it e’er will cease to see. The Heavens alone doth know. Freshmen are mostly gay and green, Not so with us, for we Were stately, modest, solemn, calm, As Freshmen ought to be. The next year when we Sophomores were, And struck the Study Hall, Our morals and our principles Experienced a fall. Our innocence was shocked to see The notes like snow-flakes fly. But as the others weren’t caught. We thot we’d have a try. Oh. notes that soared above the desks, Or skimmed along the floor, The teachers ne’er will find our names Upon them any more. And did you know our Class was rich? We scattered free and gay The pennies we had earned and saved Against a rainy day. Our generosity was scorned, The teachers made us stop: And now no more the feet will dance To hear a penny drop. Thirty-five THE MIRROR We loved Demosthenes, we decked Him up with wreath and crown; But out of wrath and jealousy, The teachers took them down. We may have skipped some classes, And off to Spencers flew When hunger gnawed, but then of course, These deeds were very few. And it’s been whispered there are those Who’ve played hook, and have sat All afternoon in movies; but We scarcely credit that. Oh, did a call come to your home? And did your folks declare That you had started out to school, And they thot you were there? And did you stroll in about five, (Not late, nor yet too soon), To have a family council there To meet you in the room? Friends, such experience is good To teach us that Ihe wrath Of every god descends on him Who treads the truant’s path. We’ve stayed in after school to pay Sins that we ne’er had done. And many a lad .Miss Saeger dodged By a fast record run. With Mr. Haney we have seen The depths of destiny; And many a battle over fate Was waged to victory. And we have drawn the paths of dread. And sketched the heavenly bliss. And we all hope that Paradise Wont hold a grudge for this. But now we’ve ended Virgil, And of heroes great and small, We’ve found that Mr. Raney Is the noblest Roman of them all. Thirty-six THE MIRROR We’ve all been Hamlet, and have read In deep sepulchral tones; And acted in a way to shock The author’s hallowed bones. Ah, little did old Shakespeare know The passages he penned Would make a certain English class In foolish laughter bend. The Class has well supplied the teams With athletes, and there will Be many vacancies on them That will be hard to fill. Next year a somewhat different band The orange and black will bear. And may they all try to make good The colors that they wear. A different class will occupy The places that we knew. And if they wish to do as well They’ll have to hustle, too. We’ve done our work with modest skill. We’ve been as good as gold, A teacher merely looked at us. He never had to scold. We’ve had a good time here in school. We’ve given the school our best; And as we leave we’re sure we are By school and teachers blessed. The Class of Twenty’s going out. But we will aim and try To carry on the things begun Down here in Sharon High. —By Patricia Flinn and Arthur Cusick Class Poets Thirtv-seven JUNIOR CLASS THE MIRROR History of the Junior Class HE Class of 1921 started on its course thru High School in the Autumn of 1917, and its progress since then is a source of interest to all of us. As you all know, we were highly represented on the Honor Roll during the first two years, but probably never so well as this year. Some of the averages were very high, and show what hard studying will do for any class. The Junior Class leads every other class except the Freshman in numbers, ami every class in percentage. In athletics we took great interest, and we have produced some fine athletes for Sharon High School. In our Freshman year we had many members on the scrub team. In our Sophomore year we had one member on the regular team, and this same Junior starred this year, and is next year’s captain. This year we had several members on the basket ball squad, who show great promise for next year. Our coach has organized a track team for the spring, and we hope to see many Juniors on it. Thru the hard work of Mr. Dickerson with our athletic squads Sharon High has an enviable record, and the Class of ’21 is heartily behind him. There are many Juniors on the Mirror Staff and their work has always been good and of their best efforts. Many sociable affairs were carried on this year by our class. At every gathering a good time has been reported, and we are eagerly looking forward to all these activities for next year. Junior Class Officers )! in Phipps............................... Florence Huether____________________________ Helen Sample................................ ...._.....President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Thirty-nine SOPHOMORE CLASS THE MIRROR History of Sophomore Class D 111) I hear someone asking about the Sophomore Class? Well, we sure do have a dandy. In the fall of nineteen eighteen we started to High School, West Annex, you know. I’ll admit that we were awfully green, hut we soon proved by our purchase of Thrift Stamps, our sub-scriptions to the “Mirror,” that we were not lacking in patriotism and class spirit. We spent our Freshman year in “hard and profitable?” study. Not forgetting, however, that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull hoy.” We were certainly not dull. We celebrated our last day as Preshies by a picnic at Buhl Park. This year, when we entered the Big High as Sophomores, there was no greenness left about us. Why you could see the dignity sticking out all over us. And although some of our dear faces were missing. we were still the largest Sophomore class that had ever been sent over to the Big High. Indeed we quite crowded the Study Hall. We soon forgot our first shyness in the presence of so many sages (?), taking part in all the interests of the school. Were you at any of our parties? Then you don’t know how much you missed. And say, did you ever see Doudsie play? lie’s a Sophomore—-made both teams in his Freshman year, and is still going strong. We have some more that will be on next year. And some of our girls can surely play, too. And when it comes to yelling at the games—well, we challenge anyone to beat us. But you haven’t heard the last of us. Although we have studied hard this year—ssh—many of us will survive, and without a doubt return next year and become Juniors! And just watch us then. I’m sure that the class of ’22 ought to, and will be a class of which Sharon Hi will be proud. FRESHMAN CLASS THE MIRROR The Freshies of Twenty-three X September eighth two hundred and three eager Fresh ies stood outside of West Annex to be admitted to High School. How big the words “High School’’ seemed to us. and how much t hey have meant! Our studies were so different from those to which we had been accustomed in the grades. Arithmetic was replaced by Algebra, Grammar by English, American History by English History, Geography by Physical Geography. Latin and French were altogether new to us. Notwithstanding these changes, we gradually grew to like our new studies and thru the guidance and patience of our teachers we have been able to master them. The Freshman Honor Roll each month has been the largest that a Freshman Class ever had. The first month there were twenty-six honor pupils. The number then increased to fifty-four, and since then il has reached that mark several times. The Freshmen were anxious to do their share when ihe charitable organizations asked for aid. When the Red Cross called for subscriptions we responded readily and many were enrolled as members. They also gave liberally to the Jewish War Relief Fund, and to the Fund for The Orphans’ Home. While we have been working iiard, we have not forgotten to play a little, too. Several parties have been held at the Parish House. In this way the pupils of the different rooms became better acquainted with each other. In athletics, too, this class has made a promising record. Two of our number made the ‘scrub” foot ball team, and each of the rooms had a good basket ball team. We expect to see some of these players on the regular Hi School teams next year. The Presides were very loyal in attending the games and encouraging the players by their lusty cheering. Only once were we able to take part with the rest of the school in cheering at the main building, much to our regret. That was after the winning of the Northwestern Pennsylvania Championship. We hope that in the near future the whole student body will be able to get together, not only for such events as this, but for work every day. It’s a new High School Building we’re hinting for, of course. The little rhyme: “Roses are red, as all may see; grass is green, and so ar(‘ we,” has been very well applied to us this year, but in a few months we hope to be dignified Sophomores. Forty-three THE MIRROR THE M I RROR For advertising rates apply to managers. Entered as Second Class Matter, March 13, 1912, at the Post Office of Sharon, Pa., under Act of March 3. 1879. A reflection of Sharon High. Published monthly during the school year by the students of Sharon High School. Member of the North Central Association of High School Journalists VOLUME 8 JUNE, 1920 NUMBER 8 31.00 PEE YEAR 15 CENTS PER COPY The Staff of 1919-1920 has finished its year’s work. This volume is the final product of its endeavors, and as such we present it to the school for criticism or commendation. The staff has done its honest best during the past year to publish a paper representative of Sharon High and its activities. This number especially is devoted to the graduating class and we hope that it will serve as a record of the doings and sayings of its members. We wish to voice our hearty appreciation to everyone who has helped in any way to make the Mirror successful this year. We thank the school for its excellent support in subscriptions,—for we had practically a one hundred per cent list,—and also for material which has been submitted for publication. We thank the English teachers who conducted “Mirror Day” and all the students who turned in stories, poems, or essays. Loyal support in this manner by the school is the only way that a paper can be made interesting and worth while. Especially we wish to call attention to the advertisers whose names you see in the Mirror each month. These men and companies are real examples of good citizens and good friends of our school, and largely thru them is it made possible for us to have a school paper. We, however. firmly believe that these ads are valuable to them, and urge the students to patronize these stores to help make their advertising profitable. The merchants of Sharon are strongly behind the “Mirror,” and we appreciate this and thank them for their interest. So we give up our offices to next year’s staff, to whom we wish the best of luck and success. They will enter their positions with the Mirror in good shape financially, and with all the good material that can be produced by the school, the paper certainly can look forward to a rosy future. Forty-five THE MIRROR THE SEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION N. C. A. H. S. J. AT NEW CASTLE, PA. The High School pupils of New Castle were delighted one Friday to realize that owing to the seventh annual convention of the North Central Association of High School Journalists they would he able to skip thru their lessons with impunity. This convention was held in the High School building April 30 and May 1. During its session much useful knowledge as well as many new friends was acquired. Mr. Orth, taking the place of Mr. Grahame, who was unable to attend, extended the welcome and hospitality of the New Castle Hi pupils in the opening speech of the convention. The Editor of the “Hi Crier,” Niles, spoke on the “School Print Shop and the High School Paper.” Mr. Davis told how for three years the “Hi Crier” had been losing money. At the beginning of this year it was decided to have the students print the paper in the High School print shop. This was tried and altho the students were new at this kind of work, a better issue was put out than by commercial printing. Money is being saved by this method and it keeps tin editors in closer touch with the paper. The meeting was then divided into editorial and business sections. The editorial meeting was presided over by Frazier Lamb, the President of the Association. Boyce Morgan of the “Mirror” was first called upon. He spoke on ways of judging a High School by its paper. The aim of each paper, he said, should be to truly reflect the school it represents as it is thru the exchanges that a great number of schools form their opinion of neighboring schools. Miss King of the “Haven Record,” next spoke on “The Composition of a Good High School Publication.” She suggested tin use of some uniform mark by which the paper could easily be known. The use of original material which contained topics of general interest was emphasized. The Athletic Department was suggested as the most popular but the Editorial as the most important. Chester Shultz, the Exchange Sect, of theAssociation spoke on the value of exchanges to the school. How a big exchange list shows a good reputation and also increases the feeling of good will among the schools. Another important use was the furnishing of a standard by which your own paper might be judged. A roundtable was then held at which various questions were discussed pro and con. The value of changing the publication from a monthly to a weekly was debated. The small schools where daily events were known by all favored the magazine form, while the larger schools were partial to the weekly. A question as to the manner of electing the staff in various schools was asked. It was found that in most the faculty and the members of Forty-six THE MIRROR the old staff elected the new members. Faculty supervision and the time of the convention also were topics mentioned. In the business meeting with Wm. Cobau chairman, business affairs were the subject of conversation. Walter Widser of the “Spokesman” gave a talk on “Advertising, Its Relation to the High School Paper.” That advertising in the paper is not a matter of charity was clearly proven. “Successful Business and Financial Methods of a High School Monthly,” was the subject of Lawrence Harbert from Canton while Vvilliam Shwartz of “The Voice” changed his to “Going to Press.” An open discussion on such matters as obtaining ads and printer’s rates was held. The question of commissions for the business staff was also talked about during which it was discovered that some papers in the Association give commissions while others do not. At 6 :30 a banquet was served in the Hi School which deserved much praise. Afterward Mr. Conway of the “New Castle News” gave an address in which he said that such work fitted people for life by giving them practical knowledge, and that a good newspaper man was always in demand to fill business positions. After him Mr. Street of a New Castle printing company, gave a toast to the High School journalist. The benefit to the printer, not so much in a financial way but by the contact with the school youths was well worth while. And while the financial returns at present were not so large in the future these same people would continue their patronage. This was the best advantage to the printer. The banquet being called done a dance was held in the Hi School and a general good time was participated in by all. In the wee hours of the morning the last visitor was safely tucked away. Supposedly at 9 :30 but in reality somewhat later the next morning the business meeting of the Association was attended by some early risers, but sad to relate a few were seen about noon scouting around the school building looking for the business conference. The report of the last convention, held at Canton, was given. Also any committees that had reports were heard. Steubenville, ()., in reward of much earnest canvassing, was selected as the meeting place of the Association following the Get-together Banquet at Youngstown. The officers for the next year were elected as follows: President, Editor of Steubenville’s paper: Vice President, Youngstown; Sec.-Treas., Steubenville; Exchange Sec., Erie; Faculty Advisor, Canton. The delegates began to disperse soon after the busine'-s meeting, and thus ended another annual convention of the Association. These gatherings are proviTTg'of real benefit to the people privileged to attend them. They increase the feeling of good will among the schools, furnish something to look forward to when the work grows tiresome and enable a much better paper to be published. Here’s hoping that the ones in the future may prove as successful as the ones in the past. Forty-seven Forty-nine Fifty Fitfy-one Fifty-three THE MIRROR Fifty-four THE MIRROR History of the Alumni T was forty-seven years ago that Sharon High School had its first graduating class. There was no separate building in those days, one room in the old Central Building on Shenango ----- Street was large enough to accommodate the eighteen pupils that composed the entire High School body. This building had been erected in 1864-65 at a cost of $16,000, considered an enormous sum, then, although war prices reigned. This first class of 1873 consisted of two girls, who are well known in Sharon today. The class remained small for many years, indeed, in 1880 only one boy graduated. In September, 1900. Sharon High School’s first paper, “The Delphic News,” was started, A copy of this paper of April, 1901, the fourth issue, fell into our hands, by chance. It is a very creditable publication, ir the pamphlet form. The subscription rates were 50c for nine months, or 6c a copy. The staff was composed of students, many of whom are prominent citizens, today, and was as follows: Edward Madden ..............................................Editor d. Beck .................................................Associate Editor C. T. Stockton. K. Lewis..........................Literary Editors 0. A. Gable...................................... Athletic Editor Chauncey E. Brockway Business Manager An item that appears in this is: “The Truant Society held its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon. and it was largely attended.” So we’re sure that old trick of “playing hooky,” was as popular twenty years ago as it is now. Also, they had a promising base ball team and from the following extract, we are able to get an idea of its activities: “Manager Boyce has arranged a game with the Greenville High School, to be played at Greenville on Saturday, May 4. It will probably be a very close game as the teams are about evenly matched.” (And of course, Sharon High won this game). “Chauncey Brockway was elected captain of the ball team since Edward Madden resigned.” “Prof. Bogrand has been secured by the boys to coach the team.” Another news item suggests that they had some spirit and “pep” in those days: “Fifteen boys and one of the girls have received High School caps. They are black with S. II. S. in an orange monogram on the front. They are fine caps and the students make a very good appearance in them.” Fifty-five THE MIRROR The Exchange Department reads as follows: “We are pleased to note the following exchanges: “The Kiskinimitas, Rayen Record, Collegian, and the Normal Leader. The cover on the Rayen Record is very pretty and appropriate.” So we see that as far back as 1900. Sharon High’s paper was admiring the art of the Rayen paper. And, oh yes, we mustn’t forget the jokes, of which they had a goodly number. As they are so old that they’re new, here are a few that may produce a laugh: “When may I sleep again?” he cried As the baby began to squall. And a saucy echo answered back: “After the bawl!” Repartee:—“I’m stuck on you,” said the mosquito, as he sent in his bill. “You mean you’re mashed on me,” said the man as he slapped viciously at the insect. “No, I’m dead gone on you,” gasped the mosquito as lie struggled in his death agony. “You say that the defendant turned and whistled to the dog? What followed?” “Why.” said the witness, innocently, “the dog.” As to advertisements the paper had exactly ten. Yet we see among them several prominent merchants whose “ads” still appear regularly in the pages of the “Mirror.” after the lapse of twenty years. They are Hoelzles’, (altho this was the father of the present merchant), Deforests’ and Rices’ now called Moore’s. Though the Delphic News was a splendid paper, yet its duration was not long. For several years after its discontinuance. Sharon High had no paper. It was during these years that the Buhl Club was • built, and so provided with a “gym” Sharon High was able to organize a basket ball team. The organization of the foot hall team dates hack farther than 1900. In 1913 the pupils again felt the need of a High School paper and the.Mirror was organized. After seven years, a few of them adverse, most of them prosperous, the Annual has again been published and the Class of 1920 takes its place among the Alumni to be always faithful to dear old Sharon High. And though we hate to leave the “Ole School” we realize with Longfellow that: “Nothing that is can pause or stay, The moon will wax, the moon will wane, The mist and cloud will turn to rain, The rain to mist and cloud again, Tomorrow be today. Fifty-six THE MIRROR Fifty-seven THE MIRROR 1919 Foot Ball Summary HARON HIGH’S foot ball season this year was a great success. It was successful in the number of victories won, in a financial way, and particularly in the enjoyment of the school. There was great spirit shown throughout the season, and the team was always accompanied by a large band of supporters on its trips. The team played eight games of which they won three, lost three, and tied two. Our opponents scored more points than our team, largely due to the big score of the New Castle game. Harry Wilson captained the boys this year and of course was very popular with his team-mates. Earl Davis worked hard as manager and was largely responsible for the team’s success. Mr. Dickerson was. coaching his second year here, and he developed the team very effectively. Following are the members of the team and their positions: Harry Uoyd, center; Charles Taggart and Harold Bender, guards; John Egbert and John Arbuckle. tackles; Ormond Claypool, George Dunham and Edward 11 nether, ends; Earl Davis, quarterback; Joe Thompson and Ralph Douds, halfbacks; Harry Wilson, fullback.

Catherine Heinz has played on the team for the two years and will be back strong for next, year’s five. This is Patricia Flinn’s first year at basket ball and she surely played well at all times. Patsy is a Senior, too. Mildred Devore, a this year’s discovery, played exceptionally well at her guard position and did good work for the team. This is Mildred’s last year. Helen Aspery, who played guard on the five this season, played a steady game and aided the team greatly. Helen has two more years at Sharon Hi. Sixty-one Six tv-two THE MIRROR Basket Ball Season of 1919-20 IIIS year Sharon Hi had the most successful basket ball team in the history of the school. It is the first time that Sharon has ever held the County Championship and furthermore, the Northwestern Pennsylvania Championship. These honors have been won thru the faithful work of the members of the team and the wonderful help driven by Coach Dickerson. Mr. Dickerson deserves much praise for the time and interest he has spent in order that the team might be trained. Sharon played a total of twenty-one games, including tin County Tournament, Northwestern Pennsylvania Tournament, and the State Tourney at State College. Of these the Orange and Black won fifteen and lost six, two to New Brighton, two to Bellevue, and one to Oil City and to Farrell.

Wilson, captain of the five and guard, played his usual winning game all season, while he and Davis worked together better than any pair of guards that ever played for Sharon Hi. These two fine players both leave us this year. Oouds our star center, showed up well this year at the pivot position and will hold that place for two more years, as he is now a Sophomore. Thompson played well at. forward and always put up a good floor game. This is Joe’s last year with the Orange and Black. Turner, the big point-getter for the five, played his forward position well and did good foul shooting. Turner graduates with the Class of ’20. The manager, John Egbert, got up an excellent schedule and helped the school from a financial standpoint as well as he helped the development of the team itself. Egbert played in many of the games as a first string sub. This is John’s Iasi year at Sharon ITi. Ernest Bright and John Alter acted as subs and played in many games this season. They will both be here to work for next year’s five. Coach Dickerson was always full of pep and enthusiasm and not only trained the boys to perfection, but kept their spirits up and made a great team for Sharon.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TO BELLEVUE Sharon High as Champions of Northwestern Pennsylvania, met Bellevue, champions of the Pittsburgh district at Trees Gymnasium, Pittsburgh, to decide the championship of Western Pennsylvania. The game ended with Bellevue leading 34 to 24. Our boys had not played a game for two weeks, and this, together with the strange floor, hindered them from getting up their usual speed. Bellevue was not handicapped in this way. having played several games on this floor. However, Sharon’s team-work was good, but the shooting was poor. Wilson put up the best game for the Orange and Black, keeping his opponent down to two goals. Fleming and Braun played well for the winners.

Under the able directorship of Professor Reese some splendid programs have been given that won the appreciation and hearty applause of the students. Thanksgiving Day and Washington’s Birthday programs were partly given by the orchestra. The following persons made up the orchestra: Professor Reese, who led them and himself played the flute. Eunice Reese, who has given much satisfaction at the piano. Fred Bennett performed on the drums to the benefit of the orchestra and the intense pleasure of everyone. Verna Holloway, Dorothy Fisher, Harvey Moore, Florence Mehler, David (Jreenblat, Jack Walker and John Lewis played violins. Nathan Routman put lots of life in the music with his saxophone. Walter Wilson played the clarinet with fine effect. Albert Whitmore and Edgar Hurd played cornets. The school thanks the pupils who have taken part in the orchestra, and Professor Reese in particular. It has taken time, patience and practice on the parts of all of them. The school also appreciates the selections played by the different grade school orchestras before the Study Hall. With all that splendid material the High School Orchestra is sure to continue at its present high standard. The High School Quartet may also be mentioned and commended for their renditions—all too few to suit the liking of the school. THE MIRROR Seventy THE MIRROR Social Affairs at S. H. S. Dear Nan:— There have been so many things happening at Sharon Hi that I’m going to devote this letter entirely to social affairs. When news came that Sharon had won the Mercer County Tournament at Drove City, which was attended by many High School students and teachers, we knew there would he a big time. We were given a holiday and so there was a parade in the morning. In the evening there was a big bonfire, and we had lots of fun. However, there was even more doing on the holiday we got for winning the Northwestern Pennsylvania Championship. In the evening we had a moonlight picnic in Pine Hollow. We had a weiner-marshmallow roast and with il a good time. The game with Bellevue at Pittsburgh was also largely attended by Hi School pupils and teachers. Some of those who spent Easter vacation in Pittsburgh beside the team were Dorothy Biggin. Martha Kitch, Susan Frazier, Isabel Payne, Miss Carnes, Miss Sowash, Charles Heinz, Henry Kress and Percy Francis. I wish you could have been here to go to the dances given by the Terpsichorean Club. The first was a St. Patrick’s dance at the Standard Inn. Routman’s Orchestra furnished the music and an enjoyable evening was spent. The second one was held at the K. of P. hall on Wednesday evening, April 7, and it also was a huge success. A big bunch of girls and boys had a surprise party for Frances Fenstermaker on Monday evening, March 22. We surely had a good time. On Thursday night, April 8, Edith McIntyre entertained a number of girls and boys at her home. The evening was spent in dancing, and a dainty lunch was served. Those present were Thyra Harshaw, Mary Parky, Edith and myself, Carl Maxwell, (leorge Dunham, Milton Dans and Harold Leslie. Quite a number of our college friends, many of them Alumni, were in town to spend their Easter vacation. Among them were Hazel Taggart, Helen Kennedy, Peg Egan. Ruth Clepper. Draco Moore, Jane Dilliland. Elizabeth McLean, Orpha Jones, Beatrice Mayer, Dale Smith. George Becht. Edward Turnbull. Jack Smith. William Schermer.

Martha Wilkins and Betty Dickinson spent Sunday, March 28, with Edith McIntyre. Now I must tell you about that mysterious “A. A.” Club of Senior girls. I know you will be interested. It was formed in 1919 with a charter membership of ten called the “B. T. N.” and it surely lived up to its name in more ways than one. The motto is something like this: “Better to be a gypsy than to have a career.” Their purpose is to promote outdoor activities, especially hikes, swimming, woodcraft and outdoor cooking. And they surely have become experts in these,-especially the swimming (?) and cooking (??). Never to be forgotten are those delicious steaks and the favorite “swimmin’ hole.” Uniforms and pins for the club members are under way. This mysterious club has had some wonderful outings and good times which are often envied by the under-classmates. Oh. how could I? 1 almost forgot to tell you about the Association banquets that the “Mirror” Staff has attended. The first one was a social banquet held at the Youngstown V. M. C. A. on March 19, Kayen and South High Schools being the hosts. Our Staff was present, chaperoned by Miss Mathay and Mr. Ferrell. After the “eats” and speeches there was a dance,—you may be sure we had some time. The second affair was a convention at New Castle on April 30 and May 1. Both were greatly enjoyed by the delegates. The good time the staff of the “Monitor” showed us was indeed appreciated. Well, what do you think of Sharon Hi’s social life this year. Don’t you think we have some lively bunch with all our dances, parties, and other good times? But now we are looking forward to something that means more to us than our other affairs—the High School Banquet. I don’t think there is a boy or girl in school who isn’t having glorious dreams and making great plans for that big event. It’s going to be a big success this year, too, better than ever, if that’s possible. Yes, Nan, I’ll he sure to write and tell you all about it. But I guess I’ll have to close for this time as I hear my Cicero calling. As ever, Rebekah Curtis. Seventy-two THE MIRROR Seventy-three THE MIRROR As We See Others The Scimitar.

She said that taking that year’s secretarial training was the most practical thing she ever did. The increased education she acquired helped her greatly in mastering her college subjects. Then, too, she used her shorthand in taking down the lectures—she could take notes or take them word for word as she chose. Her typewriting enabled her to turn out her own written work in much neater shape and in about one-fifth the time in which she could do it by long hand. This enabled her to do a great deal of shorthand and typewriting work for others for which she received pay and in this way earned a large part of the money for her college expenses. She put to practical use everything she learned.

They have taught us a great many things in High School, but they haven’t taught us how to make a living, but after completing a year’s secretarial training we could make our own way in the world if necessary and wouldn’t have to depend on anyone. Wouldn’t il be great to know that we could do that ? Have you made any plans?” “ Yes. father and mother and I have gone into the matter thoroughly and we find that the place to gel the very best training along any of these lines is at the School of Modern Business and that’s where I’m going next year.” “Good, I’ll go with you. 1 am sure that all of our class would be there if they knew what opportunities that training would offer them. I’ve heard of boys who had that training taking advantage of such opportunities. but I never thought of girls getting so much good from it.

It is distinctive and beautiful and owning it is an evidence of taste. In buying it you avoid mistakes and it need not be any more expensive than the ordinary kind. We extend an invitation to all young people to let us advise with them, not only on the furnishing, but on the decoration of their homes, and we are just as much interested and will take just as great pains to help select for one or two rooms as for a great big home.

Margaret Barnes, ,Lg l 7 JJ B i 'ran uxniiton. 5 Baabakie The snow was falling heavily on the little settlement near Yukon, Alaska. Already the snow was many feet deep, and all night it had fallen upon the few little homes of the friendly people of the north, and as the old docter made his way up the -packed footpath toward the home of Barson, another old patriarch of the little settlement called Black Bear, he could see the warm glow of the fire from the little cabin. As he neared the cabin he could hear a high, clear voice singing, and he knew that Baabakie was cooking a warm supper for the Black Bear and him. Baabakie's song was an old Indian lullaby which old Mrs. Barson had taught her when she first learned to talk and sing. She sang it in her soft Cree, and he could distinguish each word as hex' voice softly lifted, then fell to a minor note, then stopped as he softly opened the door. ' Good evening, Baabakie, I see you are preparing your table for four, and thank you, for I am a hungry man, said the old docter in his deep, kindly voice. Ah, docter, you are here, and I am glad. Barney is in the other room. He does not feel so well today. Go in, Doctor, and bring him to his supper, she said, and her 6 THE MIRROR -Q .-if 39,417 e-5 ,sg 5:5 -5 black eyes sparkled with pleasure as she accepted the red snow flowers the doctor had picked on the way forher and Mrs. Barson, The Doctor went into theiadjoiining room and found old Barney and his wife sitting comfortably in theirichairs talking. As the three old folks talked, t.heirP'ieo11ve1'sat.ion finally drifted to Baabakie as it usually did. I - ' Did you find anything out, Doctor?-1-asked Mrsg Barson as she drew her chaircloser to the fire. , .. No, the Doctor said thoughtfully, those folks aren't any rela- tion at all, their name just happens to be the same and they came from Dawson, but they are French thoughiffjw V - VVasn't. there any more of them Deiiferas in Yukon at all ? asked Barney. ' No, Barney, and that family spell their name diierent than Baabakie 's name anyway. Guess poor little 'Baaby' didn't have any relation but her mother and pa. V . Well it's queer what become of all the money of that young father of Baaby's, said Mrs. Barson in her slow way. - t There was a long silent pause, and each one knew the thoughts of the others. It was an often repeated story in that little home. The Doctor was the first to recall the old story and as he held his hands to the warm fire he repeated the words of Baabakie's Cree mother, Call her Baabakie, Morning Sunshine, and she shall bring you hap- pinessf' - Mrs. Barson's eyes became blurred as she once more saw the little Cree' mother breathe her last. The little French Indian baby was then three weeks old. Her father died when she was two years old and left her in the hands of his good friends to be loved and educated. They had always loved her, but were too poor to educate her very well. She had only received the education of the master who traveled from settlement to settlement in the summer. I If I can get a good price for my furs next spring, it 'll give me nearly four hundred dollars in the bank to'ard her education, said Mr. Barson with a. proud smile. I I Yes, and I've nearly two hundred, said the Doctor, not to be omitted from any Pmise- , Tan mnznon 5 ', if ., its frlf ff 1 Well, t'won't be so very long anyway, an Baaky's only seventeen, added5Mrs.fBarson.' V - ' -A - Just then Baabakie entered, laying her violin, which her father had left her, upon the shelf. , - ' ,. ' Supper is ready, come and see the table before the snow flowers wither, ' ' she said. I Well, said the Doctor in his jovial way, as he arose, I see nothing at all in flowers. . ' Oh, Doctor, after I fixed such a nice supper for you, exclaimed Baabakie in mock grief. VVell, said Barney, if it tastes as good as it smells, all the wolves in the forest could not chase me away. After the meal Baabakie sang for them, then talked to them about her mother and father, and after a long period of thought she went to the door and called Fop, her dog, and they went up to the little bed in the so-called attic. The next morning Baabakie arose, and climbed down the stairs with a fresh morning smile for the three people who were waiting breakfast for her. A Baabakie had grown to be a tall handsome girl. Her hair was long and black and hung in two shining braids across her shoulders. Her skin was like that of her mother, dark and smooth, with a faint Hush upon her cheeks. She was a sweet, patient and lovable girl, and all the settlement was fond of her. She was not only bright but am- bitious, and worked diligently, that she might some day cultivate her voice. Q Here you are, Morning Sunshine, as bright as a flower in J une, said Mr. Barson. Good morning, folks. Barney are you going out this morning? If so, I must go to my father's cabin to see it again, said Baabakie in her decided way. Very well, Baaby, you get ready and I'll leave you there, and pick you up when we come back this evening. After breakfast you must run out and help the Doctor harness the dogs, answered Barney. Soon all were prepared to go and the dogs were barking, impatient to start.. Mrs. Barson stood waving until they were out of sight, but above the voices of the men and the barking of the dogs she could hear the merry ring of Baabakie's laugh. Ba' THB' HIBROB . It was late that night when they returned, rosy checked and..cold, happy to be back to the warm glow of their home. ' Mother Bars-mon, said Baabakie as they sat down to their late but warm supper, what makes you look so gloomy tonight? ' Oh, nothing, child, nothing, only I was reading the papers which came today that there was a few cases of the red death down in Yukon. That's all and I hope and pray it won't come this way, she answered. What, mother, the red death? Ah, we must watch and prepare, was all the Doctor said. That night after Baabakie had gone to bed, Mrs. Barson called the two men to her side and from her white face they could tell that it was not of the red death she wished to tell them. Mother Barson picked up the paper which came every few weeks into their hands and With- out a word she turned to a column and handed it to them to read. She saw their faces gradually turn white and they both raised their eyes and stared into space. After a few moments Barney stirred. Well folks,,there's no use of crying over spilt milk. It's done and that's all. Oh, but Barney, there's Baabakie, what will become of her after we're gone? The little bit we did manage t.o save is gone, and us not able to find the money that belongs to her. It don't matter so much about ourselves, but to Baabakie we owe everything. She, only, brought us the sunshine for our home. Since she was a baby first in our house things began to happen, and we lived different. The tears clouded Mrs. Barson's eyes until she could not see. Well, I never supposed that bank wouldlgo under. It was the least of my worries. i 'Course we worked hard for that little bit, but Baabakie should not know, for we must not have her worry, said the- Doctor, thinking of the great plans he had made for her future. But Baabakie was not to be innocent of the fact. Outside of the room, in the kitchen, 'she was standing white faced and weak. Never before had she listened to anything that did not concern her, but she had come down in her soft. moccasins to call Fop and had heard enough to make her listen. . Softly she crept hack up stairs. All night she lay awake, thinking, thinking, but never coming to a definite plan until at last she fell asleep, to be awakened early in the morning by a loud. barking outside. Who is there? she heard Mrs. Barson say down stairs. '.I.'HB'H!lB0l 9 Quickly she jumped into her clothes and ran down stairs to see two men coming into thekitchen, both talking in excited voices. Just three mile down the path, said the one known as Big Jim. And two more down with it, too, in the same hut, added the second man. Baabakie glanced at the doctor who was hurriedly pulling on his coat and gathering together his bags of medicine. She noticed a troubled look in his ageing face and she knew that all was not well. What is it, Mother Bal-son? she a ked. The old Indian down the path is nearly gone with the red death and two of the men in the same hut have it, and we like all the others in the settlement must prepare to leave if it comes to the settlement. We can waste no time. When the Doctor came back that evening he said that the old Indian was dead and that the other two cases were hopeless. The settlement was in a nervous state from the failing of the only bank within hundreds of miles and the still worse red death. People flew here and there preparing for the worst of the two. The parties which had prepared to go out to hunt were postponed and day by day t.he settlement became poorer. CTo Be Continued!

'The next day everybody concerned in the great mystery was asked to be at the courthouse at four o'clock in the evening. Q Arriving there, they found the Judge and Sherlock discussing high cost of shoe leather and the liquor question. ' Well, friends, said the Judge, the great mystery is solved, and Mr. Sherlock will tell you how he did it. Well, began Sherlock, I followed the trail of the murderer for about live miles into the country and back. Then I lost it when we came back to the sidewalks again. Then I just had to hunt and hunt till I found a clue. I went thru everybody's garbage can, because I knew that the murderer wouldn 't eat the feet and the heads, until at last I found them in Mr. Rastus Samuel Washingmachine Snowball Johnson 's garbage can. I had Rastus arrested and went on to see how the murdered dog got into Taylor 's cellar, and here, my dear friends, is the solution of the great mystery. Euphemia was sleeping on the porch that night. when she heard the thief entering the chicken coop. Quickly buckling on her sword and grasping the base-ball bat in her left hand, the educated canine started in pursuit of the chicken-borrower, but as she started down the steps, she tripped over her sword, and, hitting her head on the ball bat, the poor dawg died. Rastus became frightened, and not wishing to be arrested for murder, he carried the dawg to Taylor's cellar window and threw it in, and then was so terrified that before he knew it, he was five miles out in the country. ' . He hurried back, and today he cut the heads and feet off -and threw them in the garbage can, and I recognized them from Mr, Jones' description, their heads having red combs and the feet wearing yellow spats. . The case is closed and if y ou will pay me my fee, I will go. My charges are 15c regular fee, and two cents war tax. Thank you. Good day, -H8r0ld Craft, '21. yu It gs j.g:.:s 5 r- :.:'1.jjg' J Ta!

THE bMrB.1z,o,n,' 17 It has reflected all phases of our High School life both sad and joyful, in work and play. - A D A , .At times it has not been very, successful. But in those periods, happily few and short-lived, The Mirror has still been a true reiiec- tion of our High School. The Mirror falls below standard only when the school also fails to have the usual spirit. And it is noted with joy that as the years pass by and number after number comes off the press, many times there are improvements of some sort andithat on the average the paper has been excellent. Once more at the start of the 'school year all wonder what the coming term will be like. But it takes no prophet nor the son of a prophet to fortell a highly satisfactory year. Let us have this year with all its moods shine forth from the Mirror In other words let us have anything that concerns Sharon High in the slightest made known to the Staif as they are the people who handle the mechanical end of reiiecting Sharon High School. MAKING A GOOD START. One of the mostimportant factors to success in all phases of life is making a good start. There are many people in this world who have proved themselves to be nothing but failures and almost invar- ably their failures are due to a Wrong beginning. Oftentimes these may be traced back to their school life. A new term of school has just begun and it would be wise for all of us to start it as well as we are able to do. If we begin this term right and each succeeding term right we are sure to make a success not only of our school life but also of our later life because the only true road to success is A :good beginningfl ' WHY ARE YOU ATTENDING SCHOOL? Did you ever stop to think why it is that you are sitting in school day after day studying over difficult lessons? What would you do if you had your choice of leaving or .attending school? It would be a big temptation for some of us to leave school. Think of the small per- . is 'run Mnznon. centage of the numberentering High School that finish it and the still fewer number of honor students graduating. A I 1 ' How many boys are coming to school to avoid doing their share in life 's great struggle? How many are attending because it is easier to squander away their time in school than to work early and late in some factory or mill? How many are here just to please fond parents? And-how many are here to study, to work, to set a mark for genera- tions to come. Girls! How about you? Are you coming here and enduring the grind thruout the day so as to have a good time at night thru friend- ships formed in school? How many are obliged to come by sensible parents? Perhaps it is to escape dish-washing, sweeping and similar duties. Or are you here to be educated, to prepare for yourpart of life's duties? Remember that you don't have to shout, Votes for women, any longer. But to help make our laws and even to vote properly you must have an education. So when an opportunity like you have now pre- sents itself to you make use of it while you can for one cannot go to school always. P Why do we go to school? Is it merely to flip pennies on the floor, shuffle our feet, stick pens in the ceiling, to be in athletics, to visit with your neighbors or perhaps you have a friend with whom you en- joy exchanging notes? And then again many take it seriously, study- ing hard with a definite plan in view. To which class do you belong? Are you a worker or an idler? Think it over and then decide, but make a good decision. SOME. INSIDE DOPE. A word to the wise is sufficient. So read and take heed.

By the way, folks, in your spare hours kindly note the peculiar actions of our perfectly sane classmates. Norman McClure finds solace in hiding behind the desk lid. I don't know why, but he does it. Then I'll glance in Ormond Claypool's direction and lo! I find him trying to count the revolutions of the wheels on the 11:20 train. Believe me or not, its sad, but true. In reality I think all this peculiarity is due to the sight of the heavy partol squad in Study Hall fifth period. That is when Miss M athay calls Miss Saegars assistance to calm the uproar. And of course you all know that we have some new additions to the ranks of experienced Idlers. Eddie Lynn is as classy as will be found in many nights' journey thru Study Hall. He and Bill spend all their time and coppers at the corner store. ' An unusual sale of Dill's Best Brand Pickles is being reported by th Dry-goods men. They claim that the Sophomores are the ones who are creating this demand for an article immortalized by the class of '20, Don't get in so deep that you must reach up to touch bottom, Sophies. But don't give up the ship, Idlersg remember that our motto is: Don't work too hard todayg you will forget it by tomorrow. 1 I remain as ever, THE PROFESSIONAL IDLER. ..i.l Humble Applicant-U Have you any cooks on hand Six in the anteroom.

Altho Sharon was well represented in athletics last year as much or even more may be looked for in the representation for this year. Many of our athletes of last year have left us but there remains an ample number to till their places. The football letter men to return are Claypool, Dunham, Bender and Douds. Claypool was elected captain and Dunham manager. Football was taken up the first day of school and practice started the second day. About 38 reported for the try out. Mr. Dickerson is with us again this year with more enthusiasm tlian ever. He has great faith in the boys and expects them to come out on top. A very stiff schedule for football has been arranged by Manager Dunham. Oct. 2 is the only open date. Oct. 2 .....,........ ...,................ O pen Oct. 9 .....,.... .....,,.......

This is a decided decrease, the total enrollment last year being one hundred and forty-six, although it has gained several new mem- bers. However, the school spirit of the class is as strong as ever and it looks forward to many successes, both in athletics and scholarship. Within a few days of assembling the class was duly organized and elected Harvey Moore our President. Harvey's ability for this offiq-1 is well known and the class assures him their full and individual sup- port.
