Neither have we aimed to injure the feelings of anyone. If we have done so in any manner we humbly beg of you to overlook our mistake and to bear in mind that it was purely unintentional. One thing more we would ask of you, and that is to kindly overlook any possible error that may have been made in this book. Remember that we all make mistakes and that it is only by our own mistakes as well as those of others that we profit in this world.

Several nights ago, while thinking the matter over, I suddenly fell asleep and became the victim of a dream. I could half consciously feel my hand moving as I slept, hut I did not realize at the time what I was doing until I awoko in the morning and found the following written in my own handwriting, and laying at the side of my bed. I believe sincerely that I was used as a medium by some inhabitant of the other world who wished to present us with the history of our class and also some vision into the great Future. The History is apparently written by some super-man of a thousand years hence. With these facts in mind, I leave the mystery to be solved by Mr. Raney, and present you with the History as it was dictated to me.—Historian.) • Immediately after the Inter-World war with Mars, all historical accounts of the past ages having been destroyed with the destruction of the World’s Capitol, at Washington, I was detailed with certain other members of the American Historical Unit to begin extensive excavations in the Great Lakes area in search of the Lost City of Sharon, (known by eminent super-archaeologists to have been buried for at least ten centuries), in search of certain data relative to the customs of the Period. After some twenty years of strenuous effort the city was at last unearthed, many valuable discoveries were made, and fortunately several volumes, written just previously to the city’s burial, were found. In them we find a source of study of conditions of that mediaeval period and a true story of boy and girl life. The volumes were well worn and charred. In several places complete sections were missing. There were four of them and they presented, in order, a history of a class in the ancient High School—the class of 1922—whose activities we shall study as they pass through their educational and fun-seeking career. They were certainly a jolly bunch, full of fun and “pep” as they would express it, and certainly, at least for the good they did their school, deserve a place in history. The first volume, describing the Freshman year, proved to be the diary of Siegfried Mullen, from whom descended the great Augustus Mullen. The volume was small and in a fair state of preservation. Short notes are made from time to time during the year on class activities. “Mighty glad,” he writes, “to get into Sharon Hi. It certainly looks as if we have a dandy class. Everybody is full of pep and wide-awake. Today was Mirror day and the Class went over ninety-five per cent strong. Its great to be backing a real High School. Douds is making a good showing on the foot ball team.” Here a portion is missing, and it is some months later until the next entry is made. Still pulling through this Latin bunk. But it isn’t so hard if you get at it right. Most of the class are good students. Sharon beat Grove City tonight. The whole class was out. We’re behind the team strong, and we’re going to do our part in the cheering and other High School activities. A lot of the fellows are saving money for the War Loans and doing their bit to help win THE MIRROR 43 the war. Cooled my heels on the stairs all afternoon. Heard Diefie snoring and I thought he was asleep, hut he wasn’t.” There were several minor notes with this hut only the last entry deserves mention: “Had a class picnic at Buhl Farm today. Everyone had a great time. Last class event of the year. Certainly has been a great term. We’ve had lots of fun and are getting wise. It will be great to get into the big building next year and organize and everything. Can hardly wait, hut just the same I’m glad vacation’s here.” The second volume is also short, and is in the form of a letter, written by a Miss Saeger, who was evidently a teacher at that time. “Just completed another year of school, and I’m mighty glad of it for I think I’ve actually lost twenty pounds trying to keep the new hatch of Sophomores from tearing the old building apart. Honestly, I never saw a class like it. They’ve got more pep and mischief in them than all the rest of the classes put together. If they’re not rigging dear old Demosthenes with hats or coats, they’re stuffing the piano with paper, or tying the hands of the clock. I don’t know' how they ever got on to all the old note and penny-dropping tricks so quickly. I never saw so many notes passed in all my life, and I take notice that some of them go clear across the study-hall. But I can’t really blame them because 1 knowhow good it is to be in the big building with the other classes and enjoy the fun. And they’re not so had after all, because even if they do have lots of fun they have the pep to back the school and get their lessons. Everyone of them dug right into their lessons the very first month, eagerly, and just as eagerly put them aside the second. Most of them are passing with fairly high grades, however. They’ve had lots of class parties and are beginning to make their mark in the school affairs. Several of the hoys and girls are on the teams and among the rest are some mighty good students, artists and musicians. Those that cannot make the teams are helping with the ticket selling and the cheering at the games. As a w-hole I like the class and I think they’ll get along all right.” After reading this section we feel that the class was just really started on its High School career. They had had a real touch of real High School life, knew the ropes pretty well and wrere ready to fill the vacant Junior seats and he real factors in the High School curriculum. And they did, with vim. as expressed in the diary of “Sal” Robertson, one of the members of the class. “It’s simply great to be hack in school,” she writes, “and meet all the girls and fellows again. I feel like hugging Demosthenes. And it’s simply magnolius to be a Junior. We organized the class today and elected Harvey Moore, president. I’m sure he’ll he a dandy one. We’ve already made some plans for some parties at the Parish House, and have appointed a committee to select the class rings and pins. Mr. Raney flunked me in Cicero today, but I still think he’s the greatest Roman of them all.’” Like the first volume this one was torn in several places, and quite a bit was missing between the first entry and this one: “The term is almost half over, but it hardly seems possible that time can fly so quickly. There have been so many things happening this first semester. The parties at the Parish House were dandy ones. Then the foot ball season was pretty successful. We (Footnote— snoring—to give an unfavorable report from readquarters). 44 THE MIRROR had Ocky Sigler, Butch Fornof, Douds, Harvey Moore, Huffy, Ed Linn, and Johnny Alters on the team, so we were well represented. The class has a lot of pep at the games, and we’re helping all we can to win. Can hardly wait for basket ball season to open. Mr. DeFrance is organizing a debating society and we’ve got several good Junior speakers in it. A lot of people are taking an interest in the orchestra, too. I think if we keep on everybody will he in something. Got our class rings today. They're dandy.” The last entry was made near the end of the term, and we find a touch of sorrow in it, either caused by an over-dose of ice cream, which eminent scientists agree was the chief bodily sustenance of the period, or by a moment of sericus thought: “Gee, but this year has gone quickly. Everything happens so quickly. I’ve been to more parties and dances in this last semester than I have ever gone to in my whole life before. It was tough that we couldn’t give the Seniors a banquet, they surely deserved it. Maybe we won’t get one ourselves next year, but I’m hoping. Had a pretty fair basket ball season this year, even if we didn’t win all of the games. Had Bill Applegate, Ocky, Johnny Alters, Ed Linn and Ralph Douds on the team. There were also a lot of Junior girls on the Girls’ Basket Ball Team. Ben Balters, Bill Applegate, and Kryl Richards made the track team and Dick took them down to Pittsburgh to a meet. They didn’t win anything, but it’s a pretty fair team to build on next year. Just one more year. Gee, I wish it were a million more. But w'e’ll have lots of fun next year, too, I guess. Any place the class goes we’re sure to have a good time. Maybe I’ll study a little next year. I haven’t decided yet.” But the last volume was by far the most enlightening. It was almost complete, neatly bound, and bearing the imposing title, “The Personal Memoirs of Oscar Sigler,” whose beautiful Victor records live on long after he is dead to charm the musical world. He radiates with enthusiasm about the class: “Isn’t so worse to get back in school. I kind of like it. Just have one more year, and believe me. I’m going to make the best of it. Had re-election of class officers today, and elected ‘Sal’ Robertson president. Bill Applegate vice president, and Ralph Douds secretary-treasurer. I think it will be a good combination. Just received news of the death of Wilma Laughry. It certainly was tough luck. Kind of makes a fellow feel an empty spot under his vest. We’ll miss her greatly. She was a real friend, and a good classmate.” A little later appears this: “Just finished our foot ball season. Sure was a good one. We’re the county champs, and I guess the Seniors were the ones to show ’em how to play foot ball. Had Oil Edmunds, Bill Applegate, Huffy. Butch Fornof, Douds, Harvey Moore, Johnny Alters and myself all on the team. Had a good cheering section for the Greenville game. Gave the fellows a lot of pep. Some of the fellows are starting a Secret Society called the ‘Lucky Seven’ and are pulling off some crazy stunts. Guess the girls are just as bad because they’ve started the T. M. T. M. Cluh and are fussing a great deal over that. All the girls are getting their hair bobbed and they don’t look half bad—some of them. I wonder when Evelyn is going to have hers done.” Here he stops abruptly, leaving us to wonder who the mysterious “Evelyn” is. The next few pages are missing, but again we pick up the story at a later date: “Basket ball season almost over. Hope we win the tournament. A lot THE MIRROR 45 of the fellows have organized a pep squad and are cheering and helping out at the games. A number of them are Seniors, and four of the men on the team are Seniors. Di Cusick busted out into long pants today and Johnny Fahnline came to school with his face all cut up. John says he fell and cut it that way, but I know' different: they all do it the first shave. Guess we’re all getting old. Not many more days till school is out.” The final entry is almost a summary: Only one more month until school lets cut. Spring has came. Went to Y'ankee Run today but didn’t catch a thing. Mr. Reese has organized a Glee Club for the purpose of filling the Study Hall with Harmonious Discord. It does. We sang on the rostrum this morning. Really I think I was the only good singer in the bunch. The Honor Roll was announced today. Mildred Routman is Valedictorian and Jo Huether is Salutatorian. Both o them deserve a lot of credit. Speaking of studies: we’ve got a good many people on the Mirror Staff. The class has certainly been all-around in everything. Now that the last year is almost over and we’re getting ready for all the graduation exercises I’m not half so anxious to leave, and I think the rest of the class feels the same way. Sharon High has done a lot for us. We’ve learned a lot. had a lot of fun, and made a lot of friends. We owe the school a great debt in our hearts. It’s up to us to make good now and show' the rest of the world that Sharon High turns out only the best.” Thus endeth the History of the class of Twenty-Two. Footnote— hugging—a round-about way of expressing affection). r ? 1 ' '. v f 46 THE MIRROR Class Poem The Class of ’22 is leaving That dear old Sharon Hi; Though many times we’ve wished to go, We hate to say good-bye. It took four years to get this far, And now farewell time comes, We cannot leave without a word Of work, our joys and fun. Remember four long years ago That timid Freshman class; Remember four long years ago When we were green as grass? It makes me smile to sit and think Of how we used to dream. And of the “Saintly” teachers’ wrath, While “Defie” reigned supreme. Poor “Defie,” gee, it’s tough he’s gone With his jokes and funny bunk; We like him ’spite of when he said, “Here’s a zero for that flunk.” And what a charming picture His graceful figure made, So slim! My gosh, I bet He weighed 350 in the shade. He said to find a brighter class The whole wide world he’d seek, He claimed that just by teaching us He lost 10 pounds a week. the mirror Then long lessons were assigned to us And problems very hard. And though we studied faithfully. Our pleasure was not marred. Remember those old songs we sang. When Reese’s day drew nigh. Forgotten songs of long ago. Of the sweet bye and bye. But Freshman days have faded out, As days are wont to come and go. We're sorry that they passed us by. But all good things must end, von know. That year passed all too quickly by, But our Freshness had worn off. And when into the Big Ili we came. We were proud of being “Sophs.” And such a “Big Hi’’ it seemed, We thought we’d lose our way. But after we were there awhile We were glad that we could stay. We loved its walls, its splendid view, We loved it all—its clean pure air: And how we loved our teachers dear. It makes us cry to leave them there. Remember how Miss Saeger Would jump upon our slender frames, And then we’d scold and grumble And call her awful names. And oh! what color of her hair! You know, if we began to pout We had to stop because she had Her danger signal out. 48 THE MIRRO Remember how Miss Williamson Could make us feel so out of place, And tremble, conscience stricken, When she snapped her fingers in our face? We liked to skip our classes, And such fun playing hook, And when we came to school next day We all just fairly shook. And when we left our Sophomore days, And as Juniors took our stand, A long school term, and then we turned To Seniors proud and grand. Then Mr. Raney thought he’d make us Read Virgil without a halt, And we’re sure if this we couldn’t do It wasn’t all his fault. But Senior days are all too short, And days flv on so fast, Both studies and good times have gone, The end has come at last. It's hard to realize, looking back, That the stream of Time has flowed, That we have gone from Sharon Hi To start Life’s winding road. After all that Hi School did for us, We know that we must go, And battles long and hard we’ll fight And reap just what we sow. By Florence Mehler, Harold Wagoner, Class Poets THE MIRROR 49 Class Prophecy Scene: Before a gypsy tent is a large tripod with a magic kettle suspended over a fire. A visitor comes and asks that the gypsy with the power to know where everyone is, what they are doing and to relate the past, present, and future, tell her of the whereabouts of her classmates, the class of 1922, Sharon High School. After the gypsy pays due tribute to the magic cauldron, he tells her what his far-searching eyes behold. CHARACTERS: Interpreter: Harvey Moore. Visitor: Jessamine Rankin. Visitor: Oh, sir, your fame has spread afar. As you are able to tell the past, present, and future, will you reveal to me the whereabouts of my classmates and tell me what they are doing? I have traveled for many years and have lost all track of them. Interpreter: T alone can tell you where they are. Of whom would you like to hear first? V.: Please tell me about Henry Kress.

CLASS OF 1922. 1 the mirror 57 Junior Class History “Aren’t you proud of me, Grannie?” “What do you mean, child? Of course, I’m always proud of you. “Yes, 1 know you are, but I mean because I graduate with the class of ’2d.” “My, yes, but come and tell me about your wonderful class. You see when 1 was a little girl like you we didn't have classes like you do, and I’d like to know something about it. There, thats right, sit right there. Now.” “Well, you see its like this, Grannie,—Three years ago when school opened in September there was a whole Hock of ‘kids' down at the Annex, that’s the building that all the Freshmen go to that want to take Latin because there isn't room enough for them over in the big Ili. Of course there are a few from our class that took French, so they went to the big Hi. Hut as I was saying before, most of us started out at the old Annex. “Some of us didn’t know the first thing about our new studies and then some who had brothers and sisters in High School before them were a little better acquainted with things. Grannie, the Freshman year in High School is tin hardest of all. A lot of those who started in with us couldn’t make it and dropped off one by one. But a lot of us struggled on and managed to have quite a large honor roll every month. “Then came our Sophomore year. My, how proud we were to think we could not be called “little Freshies” any longer. When we first started into the “big Hi everything was strange but very thrilling to us. The idea of changing classes, the study hall, the library, etc., were all very interesting. Beforelong, however, we felt quite at home and very much pleased with ourselves. “We found the Sophomore studies much easier than the Freshman studies, but of course Caesar and Geometry were stumbling blocks to many of us. “Then came our Junior year. Oh, Juniors, why Grannie, I could hardly believe it, I, a Junior! It only seems about a month ago when I was still in the grades. And now that year is over. What a wonderful year it has been. Something doing all the time. Our honor roll has been high, our girls have done good work in the R. F. I). Club, and of course the boys have done their part. So you see, Grannie, we are all looking forward to next year, when we will be Seniors! Do you think that you shall be proud that you have a granddaughter who will graduate with the class of ’23?” “I am sure, my dear, that if you keep up your record next year that we shall all be more than proud of you.” THE MIRROR 59 Sophomore Class History In th ‘ fall of nineteen twenty, one of Sharon High School's largest classes entered the old West.Annex to begin their high school career as Freshmen. At first we were confused by tin new studies and methods, but we soon fell in lint and were willing and eager to aid the school in every possible way. During the year several parties were held and all were well attended by the Class of ’24. We were the winning class in the singing contest at DeForeest’s Music Store, and also in the Red Cross Drive. In athletics we showed our fighting spirit. Although many came out for the various teams, none succeeded in being classed as “regulars.” At every athletic contest many Freshmen could be seen along the sidelines. These various activities together with our diligent effort to have a large number on tin honor roll comprised our Freshman year. Last fall we arrived at the Main High. Although we were slightly amazed at the size of the Study Hall and the new routine of work w soon became accustomed to it and entered heartily into our second year’s activities. This time, however, we were not contented to have only subs on the various teams. “Dick” Booth earned his letter in foot ball, and Lawrence Broderick in basket ball. The girls’ team was not lacking in Sophomores either, for Dorothy Mylott and Zelma Cozadd were both from the Class of ’24. Our class is also well represented in the Glee Club, besides having several boys in the orchestra. We have had a large number of students on the honor roll every month, but we are sure that this number will increase. The first two years of our high school work have been both pleasant and helpful, and now as we enter the Junior class, we will ever keep in mind the hope that tin (’lass of ’24 will be the best class that has ever graduated from Sharon High School. Freshman Class History “Do come in, Mrs. Next-I)oor-Neighbor. I’ve .just received a let-ter from my daughter. She is a Freshman, you know. I thought you might like to hear it.” “Indeed I would, Mrs. Parent. It seems only yesterday that slit left so confidently for school.'' “ ‘Dear Mother: This letter is to be devoted to school affairs wholly, and to our Freshman (’lass in particular. ‘You know I wrote you last September about the first day; how we stood over two hundred strong in front of the ‘noble’ West Annex; of the conversations carried on—‘Oh, what do you s'pose it 11 be like?-‘Are you scared?’ ‘ I know I in neevr going to live through algebra !'— and the like. I must confess my heart beat a little bit faster and mv spirits sank a little bit lower as tin minutes passed. ‘After we had become settled, however, some at the main building, others at the Annex, all our surplus energy was devoted to our strange new studies. My brain and many others are still in a whirl over declensions and plus and minus signs. As for memory work and dates—! ‘It was worth while, though, for out of our efforts rose our Honor Roll which is—please notice—among the longest of our High School. ‘Drones have not with me,’ old Shylock said. Such is our motto. ‘(’all us ‘greenies’ if yo uwill, but don't forget our school spirit, one of tin valuable assets of our class. None can say we were not loyal supporters. In a mass, we were the ‘men behind the lines.’ ‘The Music Contest at De Foreest's attracted much speculation among the students of the school, too. Although not a grealy feared rival, our class could not help but win with ‘Annie Laurie’ to help. ‘Well, Mother dear, we Freshmen cannot help but feel proud of ourselves and our class as a whole. With some, it is ‘Only the brave deserve the fair;' with us, it is ‘Only the workers deserve tin reward. It we can but ‘carry on' as we have this past school year, we are sure we shall be appreciated by all. and that Sharon High School, reluctant to see us go, will nevertheless wish a heartfelt Godspeed to the graduating class of nineteen twenty-five. Love, from Elizabeth.’ ” Ibis class seems to feel responsible for themselves. That is certainly the right spirit, said Mrs. Next-Door-Neighbor. Ves, and may the parents unite with the teachers and pupils to keep this spirit burning bright within them until their course is run,” was the reply of the mother. EDITORIAL 64 THE MIRROR As this issue will be the last product of the Mirror Staff of 1921-1922, we take this opportunity to extend our thanks and to bid fart-well to the Faculty and Students of Sharon High. This year we have tried to make our school paper, more than ever before, a true reflection of our school spirit by changing its form of publication. Whether or not we have succeeded will be left to your good judgment. But while making your decision we would kindly request you to bear in mind the difficulties under which this year’s staff, especially, has been working. We wish to extend our thanks to the teachers who have so faithfully helped us in attending our business meetings, aiding us in b� -coming organized and rendering valuable suggestions for the improvement of our paper from time to time. Our heartiest appreciation is also extended to the teachers and students who have helped us in the “Mirror Contest,” as well as to those who have in any way contributed to the newspaper. Here we must not forget the merchants who are in a great measure responsible for making the paper what it has been. A school paper can not exist on subscriptions alone so advertisements are a large factor in the making of our paper. To the staff of 1922-23 we wish the greatest success. To the students we extend our appreciation of your co-operation and urge you to support next year’s staff with even more enthusiasm, if possible, as it is through you that the Mirror is “A True Reflection of Sharon High.’’ THE MIRROR 65 The Youngstown Convention The eighth annual convention of the North Central Association of High School Journalists was held at Haven High School, Youngstown. ()., May 5 and 6, 11)22. This meeting has been held every year on tie first consecutive Friday and Saturday in May for the purpose of fostering the co-operative spirit of high school publications and promoting the sharing of new ideas in journalism. Our Sharon delegates, who numbered fourteen, were fortunate in having only a short distance to go. They left for Youngstown on the 9:30 car Friday morning, May 5, under the supervision of Miss McBride and Mr. Ferrell. At the end of their journey they were met by the members of the transportation committee from Haven High, who drove them to the school. Here they registered and were assigned to the home where they were to be entertained. Being among the first to arrive of the twenty or more delegations expected, our representatives had about three hours to wait until the first session of the convention. This time was passed in a trip through Raven School and a visit to the technical department of the Arc Engraving Company where much of the work of our annual was being done. At 2:00 o’clock tin first session of the convention began. George Kelly, president of the N. C. A. of II. S. J. presided. lie made the visitors welcome and then introduced Mr. E. F. Miller, principal of Haven School. Mr. Miller urged that the delegates view their respective work in a more serious light, declaring that the quality of a High School paper has an effect, not only upon tin school itself, but upon the taxpayers of the community as well. E. J. Eaton, principal of South High School was the next speaker. He emphasized the necessity of a good policy, lx it practical or abstract, for every school paper. It is possible that some sort of contest will be held next year, with a prize given for the best slogan for the Mirror. After the close of the afternoon meeting the delegates had their official photographs taken outside the school building. An auto tour of the city followed. (Here let it be whispered that Raven's new school is almost completed!) The big event of the convention was the banquet served at 6:00 o’clock at the Hotel Ohio. After justice had been done to the excellent repast, Mr. Charles Reedy, columnist of the Youngstown Telegram, acting as toastmaster introduced Mr. O. L. Reid, superintendent of Youngstown Schools. The keynote of Mr. Reid’s address was the duty of the staff of a school paper towards the students of the school proper. lie declared that the chief function of the managers and 66 THE MIRROR editors of the different departments of a high school journal was to give, not their best obedience but their best intelligence to the school. Mr. William F. Maag, Jr., managing editor of tin Youngstown Vindicator, was the next to be introduced. He emphasized the necessity of a broad but carefully selected range of reading material for the would-be journalist. Professor Walter Graham, head of the English Department of Western University listed the number of opportunities in the journalistic field. He pointed out and explained in detail newspaper work, advertising the publication of house organs, and the editing of trade papers. From 8:30 to 11 :30 dancing provided amusement. No less enjoyable was the exchange of ideas between newly introduced delegates. The time set for tin Saturday morning session was 9:00 o’clock, but it was nearer ten when the weried delegates began to drag in. But the business session was so interesting that they soon forgot their fatigue. The secretary-treasurer of the association, Hugh W. Manchester, read the financial report. This showed that the association was in fairly good condition considering the general business depression. A new construction was then drawn up after which came the selection of a meeting place for next year. Marietta, ()., was the one chosen. It was also decided that the convention should be held in November of tin coming year so as to be of more benefit to the members of the staffs in office. At about 11 o’clock the session split into twro sections, editorial and business. Informal discussion of the means of improving a paper took place in each group. This was perhaps the most instructive part of the convention, as each editor gave his own personal experience in dealing with the readers of his paper. A trip through the printing rooms of the Youngstown Vindicator at 1 :30 closed the convention. The number of delegates present was considerable less than that of last year because some papers were in such a precarious financial condition that their number of delegates was limited. But this is not to be considered in view of the fact that none of the delegates could leave the convention without much new knowledge and new inspiration as well as having had a very enjoyable time.

Ten games were played resulting in eight victories and only two defeats. The two defeats were administered by Rayen and Beaver Falls, both of which are large schools and had exceptionally good teams. 136 points were scored to our opponents 72. Five teams were held scoreless. This record entitles us to the claim of the championship of Mercer, Crawford and Lawrence counties. Ralph Douds, captain and four year letterman, contributed greatly to the success of the season. Manager Harvey Moore, assisted by Henry Kress, arranged a very good schedule, and handled the financial end of the team in a very capable manner. To Mr. Dickerson who again coached the team goes much of the credit for their wonderful showing. The following are the letter men and their positions: Ralph Douds and Carl Rinehart, quarterback; Michael Hardy, Earl Edwards and Francis Rhing, halfback; Allan Booth, fullback; Edward Linn, center; Oliver Jones and John Shontz, guard; Allan Hoffman, William Fornof and Harvey Moore, tackles ; Oscar Sigler, Fred Scragg, John Alter and Harvey Dawson, end.

Mr. Irvine, a new man on the high school faculty this year, coached the team, and had a great deal to do with their success. The following players earned their letters: Helen Asperv ’22, captain of the team, played her third year at guard. Helen could always be counted on to put up a good game. Sarah Louise Robertson ’22, played forward and was the chief point getter of the team. Florence George ’23, the other forward, proved herself a very capable running mate for Sarah. Florence is next year's captain. Zelma Cozadd ’24, played for the first time with the team this year, but she filled the center position like a veteran. Dorothy Mylott ’24, also played her first as a regular this year and always played a good game. Eleanor Gamble 22, manager of the team, arranged a good schedule and looked after tin financial affairs very capably.

Of course we lost the tournament over at Grove City, but on the regular schedule we won ten games, defeating Rayen, Grove City, New Castle and many other good teams, and lost only seven. We scored 455 points to our opponents’ 417.

THE MIRROR 83 The following men earned their letters: Douds, Alter, Linn, Hardy, Sigler, Broderick and Applegate. Ralph Douds, captain and four year letter man, is one of the best players ever turned out by Sharon Hi. He starred at either center or forward. We will miss him very much next year as he graduates with the class of ’22. John Alter, although he was out part of the season with a bad knee, scored his share of points from a forward position. Johnny also graduates this year. Edward Linn played classy basket ball all season. We hope Ed will be back with us again next year. Michael Hardy, next year’s captain, played a very steady game at guard and was greatly responsible for holding the enemy’s scores down. Oscar Sigler played the other guard position. You'll hunt a long time before you find a better guard than “Ockey.” He will be lost by graduation. Lawrence Broderick played his first with Sharon this year and showed some good basket ball. “Brody” has two more years to play with the Orange and Black.

Your Sharon Hi 86 THE MIRROR The Sharon High Orchestra The orchestra has been a great factor in upholding the spirit of the school during the past year. Professor Reese has proven an excellent leader and instructor. The students who play in the orchestra now receive credit for their work. This will have a great inlluence and effect upon the future orchestra because when some reward for taithful work is to he obtained, there will he a larger number out for the orchestra, making competition more keen. The orchestra was given an enjoyable banquet at the Country Club, February second, by M. V. DeForeest. The orchestra has played in a number of programs this year, among which we find. Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, Washington’s Birthday, Easter, Class Night, The Musical City, DeForeest’s Music Week and Commencement. Also, the singing on Wednesdays has been accompanied by the orchestra. The personnel of the orchestra includes: Prof. Reese who plays the flute. Eunice Reese, our pianist. Nathan Routman with his saxophone. .Jack Walker, John Lewis, Harvey Moore and Lewis Cohen playing first violins. Florence Mehler, Glenn Philipps, Jake Brittain and Edward Dodds playing second violins. Ruth Morgan. George Thompson. Archie Levi and Oren Miller playing obligate. Albert Whitmore plays first cornet. Leon Mullen and Smith Colb with their second cornets. William Organ handles the drums. Although the orchestra next year will probably excell the one this year, the loss of the following graduation will he greatly felt: Nathan Routman has played with us for four years, playing violin two years and the other two years saxophone. Nathan was an old reliable. Eunice Reese, a wender at the “ivorys, will take up music in London, soon. Jack Walker will he an Alumnus next year, hope the best of luck to the orchestra. Harvey Mocre served three years with the violin and one with the viola. Albert Whitmore was the backbone of the wind instrument department. He played the cornet four years. William Organ put the pep into things. He will study to make the percussion his life’s work. In behalf of the orchestra we wish to thank the student body for its hacking, the public for its interest and Professor Reese for the hard work and personal interest that he contributed to the success of Sharon High School’s Orchestra. 88 THE MIRROR The Boys' Glee Club Some of the features of High School weekly song-fests were numbers rendered by the Boys’ Glee Club, organized early in tin second semester by Professor David Reese. Mr. Reese realized the need of organization to introduce new songs into the school, and to provide amusement and entertainment for the students both in the study hall and at the games. So, with the aid of a number of the boys, he succeeded in developing a glee club, which rapidly grew in size, as the students caught the spirit of the singers. One practice a week was arranged and the time was extremely limited, the Club was able to turn out several pieces within a few weeks. Since then, they have sung every other week before the student body. The numbers given were mainly of a light, melodious type, with a spirited chorus. After the first few numbers and practices a harmony of voices was developed, highly pleasing and entertaining to its listeners. The school as a whole wishes to express its heartiest thanks to Professor Reese for the time and effort he has given toward such an end and sincerely hopes that he will find it expedient to re-organize the (dub the coining school term. The Lucky Seven Club One of Sharon Hi’s clubs, least heard of but the one which really accomplished the most good, was tin “Lucky Seven’’ Club, the members of which have been surrounded by much mystery. It was mainly through the efforts of the “Lucky Seven” that the “Glee Club” and the “Pep Squad” were formed. Its members held various places in school activities, the Insania Editor-in-Chief and the Circulation Manager of the Mirror, were all members of the “Lucky Seven.” The following is the list of membership. No. 1—Victor Saunders. No. 2—Russel Caldwell. No. 8—Ivryl Richards. Xo. 4—Charles Service. No. 5—Gilbert Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer. Xo. (i—John Fahnline. Xo. 7—Ben Balter, President. the mirror 89 «Oi 90 THE MIRROR School News “Oh, sist(‘r, guess what I ve found,” cried Janet with joy. “Oh please don’t keep me in suspense. Is it something real interesting?” was the response of Lenora. “Yes, it is real interesting and it's tin Sharon High Annual for 1922. Let us look through it and recall old joys.” Janet and Lenora had just been home from college a few days and were then engaged in rumaging through the trunk that contained all their books and magazines. Their mother had insisted that they pack all their possessions in the trunk before leaving home. And at every home-coming after seeing all their friends their greatest desire was to rummage through the so-called “mysterious trunk. It seemed to them that at ever ysearch they found something that had been forgotten. “Wait a minute, Janet, you almost passed over tin Society news, impatiently cried Lenora. “Let's read it and see what good times we used to have.” “Janet, do you remember tin card parties we had that year? We had a good time at every one of them. Here are two, one at the home of Elizabeth Tedford '24. on Saturday evening, March 2.), and the other was given by Katherine Armstrong '24, at her home on East State Street, Thursday, March IS. “And here is another party. Ella Gross ’23, entertained a few friends in honor of Sedalia Mayer, Friday, April 14. “Oh, here was where we had a good time. It was at tin meetings of the Triangle Club. Didn’t we have fun the night of tin ‘ kid party when we all had lollypops? Everybody enjoyed the dances too, didn t they? Here is the one given at the Buhl Club, Tuesday, April 18, in this Mirror. “Here are some of tin visitors we had that year. Alta Naylor ot Warren, Ohio, was the guest of Evelyn Brown '2 . Nora Belle I err of Grove City, was the house guest of Helene Stewart 23. Ruth Martin of Cleveland, visited friends and relatives in Sharon, and Elizabeth Carnes who was attending Schenley High, Pittsburgh, spent Easter vacation with her parents in Sharon. THE MIRROR 91 “And there's the party at the home of Florence George, captain-elect of the basket ball team, for the squad of that year. Didn't we enjoy ourselves that night?” “Oh, see here! The Echo Club dance given May 12. That's the one we had over at DeForessts and I remember we had such a good time.” “Will you ever forget this? The T. M. T. M. meeting at the Parish House May 3. The Junior and Senior girls entertained the Freshmen and Sophomores. I was a Sophomore then and I remember how proud 1 was to be admitted into the T. M. T. M.’s. You know, we took the Senior Girls’ Club name when they graduated. We surely did have some time that night.” “Here's another memorable event—the convention at Youngstown. We had one glorious time—didn't we? And we surely thought we were lucky to be members of the Staff.” “I actually feel ancient when 1 think of all the good times we used to have and which seem ages ago now. “Me too, or rather I should say ‘I do too,’ but I wish we had two or three more ‘Mirrors' to look through,’’ said Janet in a regretful tone. “It’s so much fun.” “But, oh, Janet, how I wish we could have those good old days at Sharon High to live over again.” ■ 92 THE MIRROR EXCHANGES 83 THE MIRROR The Mirror again takes this opportunity to voice her appreciation of the numerous and interesting exchanges of the past year.

It stretches out to the great heights of success, comfort, influence and independence and is known as “Improved Opportunity.” Are you now at the cross roads? Which way do you propose to go? The left is “Wasted Opportunity” and leads to the city of failure. The right is “Improved Opportunity” and leads to the city of success. You are welcome in either city.
