Page 130 THE MIRROR FOKEWOKD n— N this year book it has been the aim of the staff to live up to our motto: “A true re- ______ flection of Sharon High School.” In doing this we have been no respecter of persons but have tried to treat every person alike. We want nobody to feel that he is the special butt of raillery. We are not infallible nor do we claim to be. Un- doubtedlv there are mistakes in this book. These ' mistakes are ones of the head and not of the heart. Our only excuse is that we have done our best. We hope that this book will furnish some- pleasure to all. One laugh is worth all the sorrow in the world. So if we have given any enjoyment to you we will feel amply rewarded. —The Editor Three THE MIRROR n (Dje J? taff respectfully bebicates tips bolume to tlrje (Glass of tuetcen mtbreb anb ®tettty-oue anb to its frienbs Pour THE MIRROR AUTOGRAPHS c u L W.

Forty T II E MIR R O R Class History 0 N the fall of 1917 a large crop of green goods was reported in the Annex. Even in these early war days we find the price of goods going up. So this green supply was more highly valued than any previous supply. -----------This soon was the worth of the class of 1921 appreciated. That year saw many things happen in the old Annex. There were a few people in the main building sent over by us as scouts. They reported all the naughty little tricks of the upper classmen. Of course we immediately tried them and found that they worked with considerable success. In addition to all these we added a few—such as dropping stone thru a hole in the floor upon the head of the poor janitor. As a result the niches cut by unruly members while they were warming their heels and repenting of their sins on the stairs may still be seen. This year saw also the first of many class parties. This was held in the Parish House and a fine time was reported by all. At least “Pickle” Heinz still raves about it. By the by Francis and “Pickle” started the example so nobly upheld since by having the first bad case. But work, real work, was done that year. The Y. M. C. A. requested the boys and girls to earn and give ten dollars for its work across the seas. Much of the spare time was spent in weeding gardens, mowing lawns, and earning money in many other ways known only to boyhood. The real purpose—to secure an education—was not neglected. The usual Freshman studies were eagerly taken up and as eagerly laid down again. The work was too hard for many who were compelled to drop out, but a still goodly host came over to the High School as Sophomores. Our first day here was as one spent in a fairy land. What a charm the Study Hall held for us. And then the fun of going to the various class rooms delighted us. We also learned to throw pennies and pass notes. It was bliss! Now we began to take a real pride in our class. We had always known that we were the best possible so now we set about convincing the other people of this very evident fact. We had two representatives on the foot ball team. These lads were George Koch and Ormond Claypool. On the basket ball team George Koch again shone and added more glory to our class. Socially this year was rather quiet. The terrible war was of deep concern to us and cast a sorrow over us. No class parties were held but when the Annual Banquet came around the Sophomores upheld their share of the festivals. Off and on someone would make the discovery that his mental capacity was increasing. Before the end of the year all had made the same alarming discovery and we decided that our two years in Sharon High had been of great benefit to us. We were realizing that High School was broadening our minds and making us better thinkers. Forty-one T HE MIRROR Now we were Juniors. The first thing of importance we did was to organize. Olin Phipps was elected President, Florence Huether, Vice President, and Helen Sample Sect.-Treas. The first act as an organized class was to buy class rings. Once again many loafers went to work to earn the necessary money to pay for them. In athletics our class was adding fame to our fair name. In foot ball we yelled ourselves hoarse calling for Harold Bender, George Dunham, and Ormond Claypool to make touchdowns. Our class felt the loss of George Koch who had moved to Aspinwall. In basket ball no representatives boasted of a berth on the championship team of that year, but we gave valuable aid by furnishing part of a strong second team. On the girls' basket ball team we were represented by Catherine Heinz. Soon after the organization of our class a party was held in the Parish House. This was such a success that a Hallowe’en party was held in the Buhl Club. This was even more of a success than the first one. Dancing and games entertained all until an array of pumpkin pies put on a vaudeville stunt that amused all. One of the pies in haste to get to the basement jumped over the railing of the landing on the third floor. It might have been badly injured except for a little bit of good luck. It descended upon the head of one of our illustrious alumni, Barney Sacharow. His plug hat was squashed, his clothes were dyed a deep brown, but the pie crust remained intact. These parties were excellent training and when it came time for us to banquet the Seniors we showed them what we could do. Socially it was the biggest affair of the school year. Somehow eighty of us had acquired enough knowledge to be promoted to our Seniorship. We elected new officers for this year. Mary Parker was named President, Ernest Bright, Vice President, and William McGill, Secv.-Treas. In foot ball six of our members were letter men. These six were Ormond Claypool, the Captain, George Dunham, the Manager, Harold Craft, Harold Bender Harold .Tonsson, and Clarence Dixon. In basket ball Manager Ernest Bright, Haldor .Tonsson and Paul Ray won the coveted letter. The girls also stepped out and on the girls’ team we find Captain Catherine Heinz, Manager Katherine Murchie, Helen Curry and Harriet Cromlish. Once more class parties were held. One of the most notable was the one when the school put on a musical comedy. Many of our members disclosed un- expected talent behind the footlights. So great was the talent displayed that many of the actresses and actors joined a Musical Comedy and put over a very successful show outside of the school’s jurisdiction. But the grand opera was the last of our High School parties until the Senior Banquet. Now it was our turn to be the guests of honor and to watch someone else do the fussing and worrying. What a joy it was! Because no mention has been made of the “Mirror” do not think that we neglected it. We were back of it at all times and our ability helped to make it a success. We were well represented on the Staff. The third year of our career we boasted the ownership of the Business Manager. The last year we owned both Forty-two TIIE MIRROR the Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager. All through the life of the class of ’21 other positions on the Staff were held. At last the long waited Honor Roll was announced. Olin Phipps was valedictorian. Gordon Roher was salutatorian. The Honor Roll for the four years contained 22 names. So, although little has been said in this history about studies, it is plain that we were strong along that line. Our class is graduating 76 people. This is the largest class yet graduated from Sharon High. Now wo are through. In a day or two the class of 21 will leave and only the records of what we have done will be left to show for our existence. But no matter how scattered we may become there will always be a close bond of union between ourselves and our Alma Mater. THE MIRRO R The Class Will E, Class of 1921, of Sharon High School, County of Mercer, and State of Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, in manner and form following, hereby revoke any will or wills heretofore made by us. 1.

Forty-five THE MIRROR Class Song Written by Anna Grace Smith (Tune: “Margy”) You can talk about your classes good But we have a better one. Four long years we’ve worked to graduate We’ll tell you now of ’21. 1st Chorus: Sharon, you have a great old High School, Sharon, And there is only one great class, And it is twenty-one. The greatest gang of lads and lasses ever born In Sharon, for we are full of pep and brightness all the time. After all is said and done There is really only one Our class of twenty-one. We have always been the nicest gang, No others could compare with us. Four long years we’ve made the High School gay, Now we’re going to go away. 2nd Chorus: Sharon, you have a great old High School, Sharon, We’ll tell the world our class is great, For we are better than all And we’ll never fail or fall For Sharon. Our class has built you up And now we stand alone As the greatest Senior class That has ever come to pass, O Sharon High School, goodbv. Forty-six T II E MIRRO R Class Poem When we came into High School A dandy bunch we were we; And as we graduate tonight The fine result you see. The teachers told us that we were The very best of classes. Of Latin “sharks’’ we had a score, All brilliant lads and lasses. No one could get ahead of us, We showed the school the way To get some pep and joy and life Into our work each day. We sometimes acted up a bit To keep our spirits high. And though a few have been “kicked out We never gave a sigh. We’ve always had our lessons well, We never flunked or shirked. Just ask Miss Saeger, she will tell How we in Latin worked. The day we entered Sharon High Will never be forgotten, Because we weren’t scared a bit Till our places we had gotten. And then we started out so well, And came right out with pep. For doing, not for failing, we Soon had a shining rep. We’ve done some tricks, we must admit, And some perhaps were bad, But Mr. Ferrell must remove The fun we should have had. How many pennies we have lost And on the floor boards flung, Is but a memory to us, And is in praises sung. Forty-seven THE MIRROR Miss Williamson scared some clear out, And others had to quit Because they couldn’t go to class, Their knees shook quite a bit. In Virgil we were perfect “sharks,” We never flunked at all; But when we heard the tale of fate Our day dreams had a fall. In vain it was, in vain it shall remain, This task our faults to find. For who can faults unearth Where there is not one to find? And in our Senior year it was the same. For where Caesar failed Can Virgil hope to gain? Instead his tale of woe he wailed. Of Caesar’s battles we could tell, And of Virgil’s Aenid too; It wasn’t quite so easy we’ll admit, But we’ll never that day rue. As “Freshies” we, of course, were green; But “Freshies” always are. And even then we made a “rep” That we would never mar. I_________________ Forty-eight As “Sophies” too, we made a hit, Because you sec we were so bright; Xo matter what we said or did We were always in the right. • But, like soldiers, tried and true, We fought a valorous fight, A fight both long and hard it was; They won who had the might. Not only did our Sophomore year Try our voices to find—in vain, But likewise were the efforts Of Caesar, too, in vain. Of course we were not angels, But we were just as bright, And though we wore no wings We were always “jes’ alright.” THE MIRROR And to Sharon Hi jfh will go the laurels When our turn is done and o’er, For was it not old Sharon High That equipped us for our war? Then let’s hope that in the future, In that tight we all must share in, We will do the old school justice, The old High School of Sharon. By Anna Grace Smith and Charles Chapman, ' Class Poets. Forty-nine T HE MI R R O R Junior Class History E how. ZRA PERKINS! D’ you mean to tell me you hain’t never heard ’o the class ’o twenty-two? Wa’I I swan! You ought to he downright ashamed of yourself! ’An Mandv’s boy goin’ there too! You jes’ set right down an’ make yo’self comftble while I tell you about ’em. No, you don’t have to milk no cow, ’sides it’s two hours ’till dark any-Now listen!” ‘‘ Wal I gets it is this: Seems as tho’ ole Sharon Hi’d just been lopin’ along, peaceful 'n quiet like without no monkey-shines 'till this class comes along. Then say, things sure did hum. Why, land ’o gosh 'n man, they was a whole two hundred o’ them young ’uns, an’ jes’ as full of life ’n pep as Sam’s new rooster. Why lessons wasn’t nothin’ to them kids, they jest waded right thru ’em ’n found time for everything else too. ’Twas them kids that bought most ’o the Thrift Stamps ’n helped that little paper along. Why they jes’ breezed thru that year like a cyclone! ’Twasn’t hardly any time a’tall ’till they was in the big school givin’ them teachers the time ’o their lives. They was only one kid in that ’air class that the rest didn’t have no use fer. Uh-huh. Kid named Seezar, or somethin’ like that. Guess he must ’a been pretty good at lamin’ tho, ’cause Mandy's boy got to luggin’ books home ’an sayin ’ he was goin: ter beat this here boy Seezar if it took him a year. Guess he did, too, ’cause he ain’t back this year, but his brother, name’s Sissero, got in. They don’t like him either, ’cause they’re workin’ hard to get him out too. “Have a good time? Wa’I I should smile! That second year was jes’ full ’o parties 'an good times! But this year has ’em all beat. Dances ’n gals all two time! They sure do have some pretty young ladies in that ’air bunch! Why even the bye’s in the other classes are sparkin’ with ’em. Can’t say as I blame ’em either, Ezra. And games! Gosh all hemlock, I ’most forgot ’em. Why that’s what they’re noted fer, most of all! The very first year they had one 'o the best teams in these parts, ’an one of ’em, his name’s either Douds or Luwakee, on the big team. I forget which it is now, but I think it was Douds. He played on a couple ’o teams, an’ is playin’ yet. ’N then they got a couple more on the second year, an’ a girl named Raspberry, or some such, on the girls’ team. This year they’re the whole sliootin ’ match, ’n no mistake. Got a new player, name’s Linn, uh-huh, an’ I guess lie’s some hustler. Say, he’d make a good ’stroioger, wouldn’t he, bein' as how he’s such a star? Wish I could tell you all about the rest that are on the team an’ the Debatin’ Club, an’ all the others, but I gotta mend that plow now or it ’ll be dark afore I get it done. Say, tho, they are good ain't they?” Fifty-one T IIE MI R R 0 R History of Sophomore Class A JLTHOUGH decreased in numbers, the Sophomore Class entered the Awful Portals of the Main High increased in knowledge and power, their original greenish tint had, like leaves in the fall, developed a number of shades. Some had taken on the brighter colors of individuality, some could be seen in a brown study, and even a few had made the faded leaves green with envy by actually being blue. And so, with our pants a little longer and our dresses a little shorler, we came over to the main building. And speaking of leaves in the fall reminds me that these ex-Freshies fell for everything. Beginning with a stampede for the door when the piano began to play and ending with the Senior Banquet they managed to have a finger in every High School pie from the first until the last. “Mirror” subscription was one hundred. Foot ball tickets were good sellers on our side of the room, and two letter men—Oliver Jones, of the big waist, and Michael Hardy, of the big chest—hailed from the Sophomore section. With the coming of the basket ball season the Sophomores were again well represented. A basket ball team made up of Sophomores and going under the name of the Class of ’23 (for even we expect to graduate some day) was organized early in the season and had a winter of victories. When the squad was picked for the big team Gamble, our high-standing center, and Hardy, of foot ball fame, were among those chosen. From a literary standpoint the Class stands unconquered. In the “Mirror Contest” both the first and second prize stories were won by Sophomores—a record no other class has yet attained. The winners were David Fields and Helen Dixon. Socially we were also prominent. The Sophomores wpre present at all the school gatherings and every one knows that it would have been a folly to attempt the “Follies” without Mildred Cairey, Sarah Alice Kennedy and Jack Stark. And as for the Honor Roll, it soon grew' so large that some of us decided to drop out in order that it would not take up too much space in the “Mirror.” In fact our second year as students of Sharon High, although at the beginning we were a little homesick for the Annex, was both pleasing and beneficent, and we look forward with interest and anticipation to our next year as members of this good old school. Fifty three TIIE MIRROR History of the Class of '24 N September eight, nineteen hundred twenty, over two hundred Freshmen stood outside the “handsome” West Annex, waiting to be admitted to Sharon High School, one of the many stopping places in the journey of education. As usual, perhaps, we were all excited. Each held in his hand that wonderful little card which admitted him to High School, that formidable objective toward which we had looked forward so eagerly for eight years. Soon we discovered that it was somewhat different than passing from one grade to the next. Here we encountered entirely strange studies which we thought were surely “wild.” But after some hard work these seemed to change into more familiar shapes. When the grades for the first month came out we found a large number of names on the honor roll and so it lias been ever since with the averages of ninety-five, ninety-six, and ninety-seven on the records of the Annex. But we have not worked all the time for we have had quite a number of parties, including two most enjoyable ones about Hallowe’en at the Sunshine Home. Another pleasant time included in our play was when all the High School was invited over to DeForest’s store and asked to sing in a contest to discover which class could sing the best. Of course it took the Freshmen with our ‘Smiles’ to win the contest. The prize was a picture or a pennant. After some discussion we decided to take the picture in order that we might give it to grace the walls of the New High School. Then along came the Red Cross drive. There was some excitement in the High School to see which class could get the greatest number of subscribers. The Freshmen won that and were awarded forty dollars as a prize which we unanimously decided to send to the starving children of Southern Europe. Not only did we win this but we w’on the prize for having the largest number of subscriptions per person. In athletics, too, we have had a large representation. There wrerc more Freshmen on the “Scrub” teams this year than there have been for several years. The first teams wrere loyally supported at all their games by our members. Although wre are nothing but green little “Freshies” now, we hope to be transformed into wonderful Sophomores soon. As we continue on our journey may wre keep in mind our aim and purpose to be one of the best graduating classes of Old Sharon High. THE MIRROR A reflection of Sharon High. Published monthly during the school year by the students of Sharon High School. For advertising rates apply to managers. Manuscripts solicited from school pupils and friends for publication. Member of the North Central Association of High School Journalists VOLUME 9 JUNE, 1921 NUMBER 8 $1.00 PER YEAR 50 CENTS PER COPY This volume is the last appearance of any work of tin Staff of 1920-21. The Staff has done its work of the last year with the view of publishing a paper that would really he a reflection of our school. At times the work has seemed hard, but all have put forth the host they possessed to serve this paper. We trust that the school has benefited in spirit through our efforts. Our deepest thanks are extended to all who have helped us. To the teachers who aided us in the “Mirror Contest” and in the “Who’s Who Contest” we extend our heartiest appreciation. We also wish to thank all the students. They have been back of us by their financial support, by their literary efforts, and by their friendship and ready help they have always offered to us. It is only by such backing that the paper can be a true reflection of Sharon High School. Also to the merchants of our city we wish to offer our thanks for their co-operation. We are sure that their advertising has been a mutual benefit. Only through their help is as good a paper as we have possible. In return we urge the students to patronize them and to give loyal support to our supporters. Mention the “Mirror” when shopping. Next year a new Staff will take our places. Support them as well as you have us and a successful year will be assured. We are leaving them on a good financial standing and with no enemies of which we know. So we say farewell, wishing them the best of luck and success. Fifty-seven THE MIRROR Seventh Annual Convention of N. C. A. of H. S. J. at Steubenville, Ohio The seventh annual convention of the North Central Association of High School Journalists was held at Steubenville, Ohio, May 6-7, 1921. About twenty schools were represented, Youngstown having the largest number of delegates present. Those who attended agree that the convention was in every way a huge success. On account of the distance to Steubenville, the Sharon delegates were obliged to start early Friday morning and afier almost a six-hour ride, most of which was by street car, the six arrived at Steubenville about 1:30, slightly fatigued but all eager for the big doings. Representatives from that city met the different delegations at the station in cars, and drove them to the High School. Here they registered and were assigned to the homes where the various delegates were to stay. The first convention was scheduled for 1:30 p. m. in the school auditorium, but was postponed for about an hour because some of the representatives from distant schools had not yet arrived. The meeting Avas opened by Mr. A. Goldberg of Steubenville, president of the Association, who called upon Mr. R. L. Ervin, superintendent of the Steubenville schools. Mr. Ervin’s “Address of Welcome’’ was followed by an address from Mr. C. 0. Hanes, Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, which in turn was followed by a short talk from David Keast, Editor of the New Castle “Monitor,’’ in which he told “how they do it.’’ The meeting was then divided into an editorial and business group. In the business section advertising rates were discussed and an argument was held on whether a newspaper or magazine was more beneficial to a school. Immediately after dismissal automobiles were provided and the delegates were taken on a tour. The scenery around the suburbs of the city was very beautiful as Steubenville is centered in a hilly region; the ride was very enjoyable and resembled a sort of “modified rollv-coaster.’’ The delegates were then taken to the homes where they were to stay and all prepared for the banquet, the big event of the day. The banquet was given at Fort Steuben Hotel, a large and beautiful building, recently built. After “the eats” Leo H. Daugherty, who acted as toastmaster gave a short address and then called upon Mr. Simeral, one of the “big newspaper men” of Steubenville. He discussed the necessities of journalism and also brought out the conspicuousness of blunders in a newspaper profession. He said that the Fifty-eight THE MIRROR least misprint in a newspaper is very noticeable and arouses much criticism, whereas in other professions far greater mistakes are made and escape without notice. Mr. (toldberg then gave a short address and was followed by Mr. J. R. Arnold from Pitt University who gave a talk on “Journalism as a Protession. He brought out the advantages of being a newspaper man in that the intellect is broadened and the mind is kept bright. He also stated that “pull does not work in the newspaper business and that the experience of a newspaper reporter fits him for any line of business. After this everybody adjourned to the dance hall where the rest of the evening was spent enjoyably. This ended the first day of the convention. 'I he important business meeting was scheduled for 9:30 Saturday morning but it was near 10:,'10 before the attendants recovered from the effects of the night before. Mr. Goldberg again acted as chairman. He called upon Mr. Arnold who again addressed us in a very interesting talk. He advised and even urged that every school paper be a newspaper, one of his arguments against a monthly literary magazine being that the news in it, by the time it reached the students, was a thing of the past, whereas in publishing a weekly or bi-monthly newspaper the news is more up-to-date. He also advised that the paper be made strictly one of news, doing away with all literature. His argument for this was that he considered the time spent in writing stories almost useless, as the literature was not of high grade and better and more beneficial works could be purchased at lower prices. The next business was the selection of a place for next year’s convention. After quite a discussion it was decided that a council of three should be appointed. They voted that Raven High School should hold the convention for 1922. A move was then made that the banquet, formerly held every year at South High a month or so before the convention, should be omitted. The reason for this was that when the North Central Association of High School Journalists first organized, it was voted that a sort of “get-together” banquet be held each year at South High which would help to promote the Association. Now that he Associa-ion has proven to be such a success that convention is no longer needed, as in the last few years it has proven to be more of a social affair than anything else. The move met with favor and it was decided that in future years only one convention will be held. The next business concerned the restriction of advertisements. It was voted that advertisements of tobacco, pool rooms and the like should be entirely prohibited in the school paper, thus further promoting the school standard. The last business was the decision that next year’s officers of the Association should be elected from Raven sometime during the year as time was lacking for their election at the meeting. Immediately after adjourning the Association had its official picture taken on the steps of the school. The rest of the afternoon was spent in getting back home and in reviewing the enjoyable events of the Seventh Convention of our Association. The Association is becoming more of a success every year, and great interest and enthusiasm are shown by all. So we are all looking forward to the larger convention at Youngstown next year.

T II E MIRRO R Seventy-one THE MIRROR Foot Ball Summary, 1920 1HARON High’s foot ball season this year was a success although most of the games were lost. It developed many new men who can be depended upon for next year. The spirit of the -------- students surpassed that of former years. They were behind the team all the time. Look out for next year.

Seventy-three T II E M I R R 0 R Summary of Girl s Basket Ball Team HE Girls ’ Basket Ball Team this year was one of the most successful teams in the history of Sharon High. Things looked blue for this year when most of the girls’ players graduated last year, but all the dope was upset and we had a champion team. The following players earned their letters: Catherine Hein . ’21, nir captain, played forward on the team and showed herself to be a star until she broke her arm in the New Wilmington game and was forced to remain out the rest of the season. Catherine Murchie ’21, the manager and center, arranged a very good schedule and aided the team in winning its victories. Helen Curry ’21, who played back center, played a regular game and aided the team greatly. Harriet Cromlish ’21, one of the sturdy guards, played all the year. It was her first year as a player, but she played like an experienced player. Helen Aspery ’22, Harriet’s running mate, played unbeatable basket ball all year. This is her second season of the game. Alice Freeman ’22, one of the forwards this season, played a steady game and was one who could be depended upon to light till the final whistle. Sarah Louise Robertson ’22, played forward most of the year and was one of the fastest players on the team. Sarah Louise obtained many of the teams points.

It defeated every team in the County, but was beaten by Grove City in the County Tournament. This defeat caused us to lose the championship of the County and Iso possession of the silver loving' cup now won permanently by 'arrell. The success of the team is due chiefly to the coaching of Mr. )ickerson and to the faithful work of tin team. Extra praise is due Ir. Dickerson from the fact that at the beginning of the season with ’lie exception all the men were green. Sharon played a total of eighteen games, winning seven and osing eleven.

Seventy nine Eighty TIIE MI R R O R The Sharon High Orchestra IIE school wishes to thank tin orchestra for their renditions during the past year. Under the able leadership of Professor Reese they have been able to take an important part in many programs. Among tin programs in which the Orchestra has taken part we find Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, Washington’s Birthday, Easter, Class Night and Commencement. The orchestra in addition played at a meeting of the doctors of Mercer County at tin Nurses’ Home and in the Annual Concert of all the schools of the city at the United Presbyterian Church. The orchestra consists of tin following persons: Professor Reese, director, played the flute. Eunice Reese, pianist, did her work well. Nathan Routman, violin and saxophone, added life and thrills to the programs. Dorothy Fisher, Jack Walker, Glenn Philipps, Lewis Cohen, Fred Mathews, Edward Dodds, Florence Mehler, John Lewis, Janies Richards, George Davis, played violins. Harvey Moore played violin and viola. Albert Whitmore and Smith Colb carried the cornet parts in a credible manner. William Organ handled the percussion department to perfection. Both the school and faculty extends thanks to tin students who have taken part in the orchestra and especially to Professor Reese. It has taken an unlimited amount of time, patience and practice on the part of all of them. Dorothy Fisher is the only one to be lost by graduation. She has played the violin in the orchestra for four years. The orchestra has a bright outlook for next year with all but one member back and a gold mine of material from the grade orchestras that Professor Reese has been training. The members of the orchestra wish to thank the school, faculty and public for their support and interest at all times. They wish, also, to thank Professor Reese for his personal interest and patience during the past year. Eighty-one T HE MI R R O R The Sharon High School Debating Society FTER persistent work by several of our Senior members, a debating society was formed. The chief cause of our late beginning was the difficulty in being able to get a Faculty Advisor and Coach, as most of our faculty have been taxed to capacity and could not devote their time and interests to the movement; but after several pleas Mr. De France, himself a debater of fame in college annals, offered to coach us. The formation of the club was accepted far more enthusiastically than was expected. The club was organized and elected Joseph Bell, President; Milton Daus, Vice President; and Mildred Routman, Secretary. The club boasted twenty-four members, five of whom were girls. The organization was one of pep and vigor. Altho debating was given a good start at the beginning of the term, independently, it did not reach the height which it has now attained. In the debates which led up to the formation of the society Misses Mathay and MacBride coached the teams, and much interest and antagonism was shown. The speakers on the first debate were, Messrs. Balter and Bell vs. Messrs. Fields and Dumbauld. The subject argued was, Resolved, That the United States should join a league of nations. This debate was followed about a month later by another upheld by Messrs. McGill and McMasters vs. Messrs. McKee and Bright. The subject was, Resolved, that we should have the open shop. On the celebration of Washington’s Birthday was given the debate, Resolved, that Germany should be forced to disarm. Messrs. Harker and Fahnline vs. Messrs. Daus and Wagoner. The largest and best attended debate was given in the auditorium just before Easter vacation. The subject was, Resolved, that Sharon should retain her city charter. Messrs. McGill, Daus, Harker and Taylor upheld the affirmative, while Messrs. Dixon, Hanson, McKee and Cozadd opposed them. At about this stage in the growth of debating ability Sharon High entered a triangular debate, the first of its kind ever entered by the school, with New Castle, Youngstown South, and Sharon as participants. The subject under fire was, Resolved, that European immigration should be suspended for a period of five years. The affirmative or home team was upheld by Messrs. McKee, Seginack, Cozadd and Balter, while the negatives had on their line-up Messrs. Daus, Fields, Harker and Bell. The founding of a debating club in Sharon High was one of the best moves undertaken bv the student body and they appreciate very much the aid of the Faculty in making this possible. It is the hope of all the charter members that this movement will not be dropped and that in years to come the debating contests will be on a par with athletics in interest. Eighty-three THE MIRROR School News 3’RE just in time Patty, see he is just turning the corner and I do hope he brings the ‘Mirror’, ” excitingly cried Sybil. Patience and Sybil had been members of Sharon Hi but on account of the ill health of their father they had been compelled to leave town for a cottage in the mountains. It was a great blow at first, but they bore it bravely and looked forward with great expectancy to the time when mail, and above all the “Mirror” from their home town would arrive. For four days it had been due and the sight of the postman was joyful to them. “Hello, there, Mr. Postman, haven’t you got a book about so big?” greeted Patty, indicating the size with her hands. “Well Missy, I’m not going to disappoint you today, here ’tis,” answered the postman. Both grabbed for it and soon they were devouring its contents, in a large hammock stretched beneath two gigantic pine trees. “0 turn to the Society and see what is going on there, it seems so long since we left that surely something wonderful must have happened,” said Sybil. “0 look.” “Clara ‘Lib’ Bucholtz ’23, entertained the Nalo Camp Fire Girls at her home on March 5.

T II E M I R R 0 R THE MIRROR Three Modern Wise Men “Well, boys, your big decision lies just ahead,” smiled Mr. Profilers as three seniors entered his office the week before commencemnt. “Hav you decided what worlds you’re going to conquer next?” “What worlds we’re going to conquer?” exclaimed Diek .Johnston, the president of his class. ‘‘Why surely,” came tin response, “you fellows with most of your lives still ahead of you, and such splendid opportunities ought to do something big. I’ve watched you carefully during your four years in High School. You all have qualities of mind and will that should carry you far. What are vou going to do now that you have finished High School?” “O, we see what you mean now, Mr. Prothers,” answered William Mensch, who was graduating at the head of a class of one hundred and twenty. “It’s a problem we have all been thinking about, but we don't know enough about the various needs of life to decide for ourselves. Won’t you suggest something to us?” “Gladly, boys. You must make the decisions yourselves, but my knowledge and advice are at your service. My oldest brother, John, chose the business field, lie started out by studying accounting and stenography. As soon as he had finished his business course he went to work in the office of the Steel Mill. In two years he was made private secretary to the 1st vice president. From then on his advance was rapid and today he is drawing a salary of $15,000.” “But isn't that rather exceptional?” asked William. “True, it is better than the average, but many have done even better. Hugh Chalmers of the National Cash Register Co. started in the same way and at twenty-eight he was a vice president with a salarv of $50,000.” “That looks good to me,” laughed Ben Ronaldson, the third member of the trio. Are there many of those jobs open?” “Well, 1 have in my desk an inquiry for the names of some bright young fellows, who might be interested in business. A big company wants to secure some men for responsible positions and prefers taking young men and sending them to business school to develop. If they make good they are offered very good positions. My brother says the demand for trained men and women in business is away beyond the supply. The demand is becoming greater too, for our country is now trading with all the countries of the world and growing commercially as no country has ever grown before. Most of the professions are already overcrowded but business is opening up more and more.” Ninety-two THE MIRROR “I've been thinking about a business career for some time but didn’t know the opportunities in that field were so great,” said Dick. “Yes. 1 think it the biggest field a young person can enter,” responded Mr. Prothers. ‘‘Mv daughter Edith, who is in your class, is going to business school next Fall. She is going to become a stenographer. She decided the matter for herself but, needless to say, I am glad of her choice. She will be sure of an excellent position and attractive work.” “We are glad to hear you say that Mr. Prothers, but won’t it take a long time to get ready fro a business career?” asked Dick. “Not in comparison with the time required for a professional career. A doctor spends about seven years preparing for his work and then he must build up his practice. A lawyer spends nearly as much time. In business a first class school will give the fundamentals of the work in a year. Of course, a good man will continue to observe and learn, but you can get a very good starting position at the end of a year’s work. Many students after a single year’s training earn as much as two hundred dollars per month. Of course as a student develops in his work he is advanced rapidly for there are many big positions to be filled.” “Where would you advise us to get our training?” Mr. Prothers. “Well, boys, I am glad to say that our own city can boast of as good a business school as there is' in the country. Upon careful inquiry, I have found that the training given at the School of Modern Business is first class in every respect. Complete courses are given in accountancy, stenography, typewriting, economics, salesmanship, business law, business organization and banking. These are the great stepping stones that lead up to Business Success. Mr. Martin has built up a very successful school. His courses are very strong and achieve results as the records of his graduates show.” “Well, fellows, my decision is made,” said Dick turning to his two companions. “I want to make the most of myself and this seems the very opportunity for which I have been waiting. Think of it. Preparing for such a career right at home instead of spending many years and a lot of money away from here.” “I am going with you,” said William. “Count me in too, fellows,” exclaimed Ben. “May you be happy and successful boys! Do you remember the story of the three Wise Men? When thev saw the light they followed it!” “We have seen the light too, responded Ben, “and we are going over to the School of Modern Business right now to hitch our cart to the star of Business Success. Goodbye.” Ninety-three T II E M IRROR The Gluck Store GREATER SHARON'S GREATER STORE Charming frocks for the girl graduate are here in a host of lovely materials, colors, and in the smartest of modes.

Koester Sons One Hundred Five T II E M IRRO R A Few Facts About Fludson and Essex Cars T11 li HUDSON Hudson has led and maintained without major deviation the strictest adherence to a stabilized design. For no matter how good mechanically, a great satisfaction is lost to the owner of a car if succeeding models pointedly mark his car out of date. Hudson holds all official stock car speed records in its class from 1 to 100 miles. It won the Pike’s Peak hill-climb in the fastest time ever made for this classic—18 min., 21 sec. Its official records for acceleration have never been equalled. Thus Essex, under supervision of contest officials of the American Automobile Association set the 50-hour endurance record of 3037 miles, on the Cincinnati speedway, a mark never before made and not yet equalled. In three separate tests, using the same car, it traveled a total of 5870 miles, in 94 hours, 22 minutes, averaging more than a mile a minute. It set every speed and endurance record for cars of its motor size, from 1 to 50 hours. It established the world’s 24-hour mark for road driving, covering 1061 miles over snow-covered Iowa highways. Four Essex cars grossed the continent; two in each direction—during a period of 11 days. The first car from New York to San Francisco made the trip in 4 days, 19 hours, 17 minutes, beating the best time this way by over 22 hours.

One Hundred Twenty-five THE MIRROR A TALK TO YOUNG PEOPLE Going to Housekeeping Many young couples starting housekeeping make the mistake of buying ordinary furniture of stereotyped design, which later proves disappointing and tiresome. It is far better to get furniture of unusual design, the charm of which will grow the longer you have it. Wilson’s Better Made Furniture is furniture that you will never tire of or regret buying. 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 a great pains to help select for one or two rooms as for a great big home.
