DEDICATION In appreciation of the the many things which he has done for our school: because of his friendly and helpful attitude toward students, and because of the fine example set by him as a man, thi -Mirror Annual of 1927 is dedicated to our friend and assistant principal, MR. W. B. IRVINE 5 CONTENTS FACULTY CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS ALUMNI LITERARY FEATURE FOREWORD With this annual issue the fifteenth link in the chain of Mirror editions is welded together. In mary ways the work contained in this book could be greatly improved. A true reflection of so fine a school is most difficult to form in words and paragraphs and pages. If the reader is able, reading between lines, to catch the spirit of Sharon High, then the staff will consider its work worthwhile, and the experience and improvements of fifteen years will be passed on without anxiety to the staff of 1928. Administration Department I). Gamble, Westminster College, A. B.......Superintendent of Schools F A. Jones, Bethany College, A. B. Principal W. B. Irvine, Marietta College. A. B. Assistant Principal The taxpayers of Sharon have made an investment of nearly th ec quarters of a million dollars in the interest of high school education. This money is represented in the high school building, its furnishings and class room equipment. By the vote of the electorate the power to administer education has been vested in a Board of Education consisting of seven members. This Board, in turn, has delegated to a superintendent of schools the direct administration of education in so far as it relates to the supervision of instruction in the school. In the high school a large part of this task has been further delegated to a principal and vice principal. Courses of study have been formulated, text books have been selected which, in the opinion of supervisors and teachers, are well adapted as aids to instruction, and teachers have been chosen to guide in these subjects which comprise the curriculum. All of these factors contribute to high school education and arc indispensable, but they do not constitute a high school any more than the President and his cabinet, the members of Congress, and the various appoin t'd and elected officers of the government constitute a republic. The government of the United States is the composite of its citizens. The Sharon High School is, in reality, the composite of its students. It is granted, of course, that efficient teachers must he provided, that adequate courses of study must be mapped out, that the physical equipment, represented in comfortable class rooms and instructional apparatus, must be present to contribute their share to the scheme of education, hut after all Sharon High School is today and will be in the future, in the large, what the hoys and girls who constitute its student body make it. As I see it. there is a responsibility which rests with the student body and at the same time a challenge. The responsibility is to use to the full measure the opportunities provided by the taxpayers. This is expressed in the care of the building and its equipment, in regularity of attendance, in the faithful adherence to necessary rules and regulations and in a general co-operative spirit, all of which are expressive of appreciation for the money invested in training in citizenship. The challenge, as I see it, is to faithfully and conscientiously devote the four years of high school life to individual achievement—individual mental, moral, and spiritual growth—that every boy and girl will have the maximum preparation possible for going out into the larger activities of life or the best possible foundation for higher education. The better this challenge is m t. the more the individual and the community benefit. The better it is met today, the greater the inspiration for those who follow. Make Sharon High School Sharon’s greatest asset. W. D. GAMBLE. Eleven 7 =r m ssilf -Sl 7°2£SS!lf ssz f 0. |a.«x P OQ ssys — ft X w«V4 «' )Sjfj ssitS r, U-P3 C JW Jf 1= ?

The aim of high school English is to teach the pupil the art of communication and thoughtful reading ability in his own language. Each year builds upon the work of the preceding one in an effort to accomplish this purpose. In the eighth grade a thorough review of the fundamentals of English spelling and grammar attempts to remove glaring errors. A desire for good reading is fostered by the study of appropriate selections from a number of literary masterpieces. In the Freshman year the rules already learned are reviewed and applied. An intellectual interest in composition as a whole is aroused. A special effort is made to inculcate sentence sense, both oral and written. Such books as Ivanhoe”. “The Merchant of Venice’’, The Christmas Carol”, and The Sketch Book” are studied. The Sophomore year emphasizes written and oral composition as a study of distinct literary types. Classroom literature study includes Julius Caesar”. The Lady of the Lake”, Silas Marner”. The Rime of the Ancient Mariner , and Sir Roger dc Cov-erly papers. The Junior year directs its main efforts in composition to argumentation without a text. Composition, oral and written, becomes a study of the organic whole. The history and appreciation of American listerature are studied. Macbeth”. Idylls of the King”, Lincoln’s Speeches, and selections from modern writers are studied. The Senior year rounds out the course of high school English. All that the student has learned is reviewed and applied. The second semester he may continue the regular course, or elect creative or business English. English literature, including Hamlet”, Milton’s poems, and Burke’s “Conciliation Speech”, is studied. Each year requires a certain amount of outside reading from selected lists, thus giving the student some option, but confining him to good literature. Upon completing high school the student should be able to speak and read good English extemporaneously and formally, and to choose the right reading material for himself, due to a developed appreciation of the best. Because these things are essential, regardless of vocation, to man’s success and happiness, four years of English are required in all standard high schools. Rowena Mac Bride, Grove City College. Lit.

Each day since man learned to draw his word pictures, this civilization has been recorded. The philosophies of men, the religious and social enterprises of men. the discoveries and inventions of men tramp down, down through the ages of history. The present plan of history in Sharon High School offers American History in the Eighth Grade: Ancient History during the Freshman year; Modern European History in the Sophomore year; American History for Juniors: Problems of Democracy, or Economics and Civics for Seniors. This schedule varies somewhat, in that commercial students may combine Ancient History by taking what is termed World History. Vocational Civics may be elected by those who desire it. The course is arranged in this manner for three reasons: First, because it is the logical order of history; second, because college requirements must be met: third, because a course thus arranged offers history in the more imaginative stages to the more youthful student, and grows more complex as the age of the student advances. Civics in the Eighth Grade shows the student his civic responsibility. He is given the first lesson in his relations to others and in his direct part in every day life. Ancient History for Freshmen tells the story of man’s development front the time of earliest written records through fully four thousand years to a point where modern civilization begins. In the Sophomore year Modern History follows, with a slight overlapping. By reviewing the ambitions of kings and the tyranny of despots, the student can better understand the democratic aspirations and peaceful ideals of the world today. During his Junior year the student, in order that he may realize how prevailing customs and institutions have come about, studies the history of his own country. The complexities of federal government, the interpretation of the Constitution, the potential forces of our westward expansion, the economic theories of sectional rivalry are not so incomprehensible as they might have been if studied earlier in the course. The final problematic study of national development is found either in Problems of Democracy, or in Civics and Economics: these studies are not a mere repetition of Eighth Grade Civics, They are reserved until the final year because they involve more complicated questions which generally resolve into discussion and debate for which the more mature mind is ready. Since some students, immediately upon leaving High School, find it necessary to face just such problems as those presented in Civics and Economics, it is more practical to place them last in the curriculum.

The i est of our school, as listeners, have gained a fuller appreciation of music through the efforts of this department. The Art Department includes Free-Hand Drawing and Mechanical Drawing. “To open up the road to beauty and understanding of one great phase of life, to encourage joy in creation, that is the function of art. I he former course develops a keener appreciation in everyday things. The latter develops imagination and habits of careful observation. For students who use Mechanical Drawing commercially, this department cooperates with the Westinghouse Company. Students may work in this plant during summers, and those not wishing to go to college may take engineering training there. 1 lie Library contains magazines and books for school reference, outside reading requirements. and pleasure reading. The Librarian, besides her regular work, gives talks to Freshmen on the use of the library, preparing them for work in any library. 1 he Household Arts Department, including Cooking and Sewing, aims to prepare girls for home work in both subjects. Both are two-year required courses, but the teachers hope to have them extended through the high school curriculum as elective courses. The school nurse in the Health Department gives first aid. assists in medical inspection, calls upon sick children, and has many other incidental duties. Her work is invaluable. The aim of the Manual Training Department is not to teach the student to make furniture as much as to teach him accuracy in all things, the use and care of tools, machinery, and wood, and especially the use of his own hands. I he I h sical I raining Department helps the student develop a vigorous, healthy body and mind, ready to do his task at school and at home. Since lack of time forbids individual attention, much time is spent on games to teach the pupil self-sacrifice, courage, fair play, persistence, and self-protection. David Rees....................

A.B.—Physical Training Indiana State Normal—Physical Training Seventeen Mathematics Department The vast and far-reaching importance of mathematics in the modern world is a theme which is given very little consideration by the average person. A little serious thought upon the matter will bring to us, perhaps, a conception of the wheel of progress turning upon the axle of mathematics. Upon what depends the accuracy of the engineers—the builders of bridges, roads, locomotives, ocean liners and skyscrapers? Upon what the work of the mechanics who make all our electrical appliances? Upon what does the navigator in mid-ocean rely? What subject means most to the millions of business men in the world? The observations of the astronomers, the discoveries of the inventor, have what as their basis? Science, without mathematics, would be as helpless as a man without a head. It seems, indeed, that mathematics furnishes a foundation for the operations of the men who have, perhaps, most of the actual pushing to do in turning the wheel of progress. Many people look upon math as a sort of mental gymnastics used merely to teach students to think through problems in life accurately. For the training of mental accuracy there is nothing so useful as a study of mathematics. This is perhaps the chief reason why all colleges require several’ years of math for entrance, regardless of the course one may wish to take. But this is not the paramount object in studying mathematics. If statistics can prophesy, they tell us that there will be more of the Sharon High School students of today using math as a practical basis for their work tomorrow than there will be using as a basis any other study of our school. The mathematics department has run along in Sharon High this year much as it has in past years. The math classes have had no special activities of note during the year and have worked close to the book, as it seems is necessary in the study of this subject. It is to the credit of the Matli Department, we believe, to say that it has taken no part in the attempt to “club” the school to death this year. It is about the only department in the school which has not had a club. During the past year in our high school there have been about eight hundred and fifty students studying math. Twenty-eight classes have met every day. About three hundred and twenty pupils have been studying Arithmetic; two hundred and sixty Algebra 1: one hundred and seventy Plane Geometry; eighty, Solid Geometry and Algebra II; and about fifteen.

Each teacher has stated the aim of his particular subject. General Science helps students choose their later high school courses. Many pupils select their careers during the high school training. As the study contains the basic principles of the other three sciences, it is of value to the student who takes no other scientific courses. Mr. Marks states that the object of Biology is to interest students in the study of life: inspiring some with an inclination toward biological careers, and giving the larger number an understanding of life as far as they can appreciate and live it. Mr. Kirschner remarks that most people are oblivious of their surroundings. When they hake food or mix cement, they do not understand the reactions that take place. He endeavors to show his classes these simple chemical processes in order that they may put this knowledge into practical use. For the students who will continue chemistry in college, the instruction emphasizes the necessary fundamental principles. Physics treats of the related phenomena of matter and energy. Mr. Dickerson believes that the course is valuable in helping the student comprehend all such phenomena as he may meet in his present and later life. Stanley M.

'Raney Mas McPride Gllfieovs -A7iS Sdesrer Language Department An important part of a nation's duty consists in giving its citizens the opportunity of knowing the ways of foreign countries. What could be more helpful in this than studying the foreign languages? In Sharon High School three languages are taught: Latin, French, and Spanish. All three are romance languages,—the last two being really modern Latin. Latin is useful in building up a good vocabulary because of the many English derivations from it. Besides being interesting, Cicero and Virgil give the pupil an insight into many and various philosophies of life. French is now considered a practical language. The League of Nations uses it as the International language, anti tourists in most European countries find it useful. As the subtleties of the great French classics are largely lost by translation, many cultured people desire at least a reading knowledge. The United States has a growing commercial relationship with South America which is a Spanish-speaking country. In addition to the commercial value of this language there is a satisfaction in reading Spanish literature in the original. O. W. Raney, Westminster College.

Twenty-one — r% Miss Filer Miss CieaencK Commercial Department The Commercial Department in Sharon High has been in existence only three years, but during that short time it has proved very valuable to the students. Seventy-three students have graduated from the Commercial Department in two years. The aim of this department is to prepare students to fill the needs of the business world. The many opportunities presented by Sharon firms have been a great aid in giving the student's some experience. During the three years that the Commercial Department has been a part of Sharon High, many of the students taking this course have won awards in Typewriting and received the certificate for good work in Bookkeeping. The students of this department have secured quite a few honors for Sharon High in the County and in the State Commercal Contests. Each year a team has been chosen to represent Sharon High in the County Contests. Several of these people have been sent into the State Contest where they won places in the various contests. The teachers of this department have worked hard to place the Sharon High Commercial Department high among secondary Commercial Departments. The four regular commercial instructors teach Bookkeeping, Typing, Shorthand, Commercial Law, Salesmanship and Business Arithmetic. Several other teachers teach one subject in this course. Charles R.

Miss Adele Sarver is employed as Mr. Gamble's personal secretary and Miss Marion Gibbons, as bis stenographer. Miss Gibbons is also stenographer for Mr. Williams, who is secretary of the Sharon School Board. This office force takes care of the entire Sharon school system, including some things directly connected with the High School. They keep record of the grades of every student; they order all supplies and keep a record of their distribution; they issue and record employment certificates; they receive tuition money; and they keep a record of the cafeteria funds and the disbursement of them. The work transacted in Mr. Jones’ office deals particularly with the affairs of the high school. Miss McCormic is Mr. Jones' secretary, while Miss Grace Anion is his stenographer and Miss Mary Parker is the manager of the telephone exchange and recorder of attendance. In this office a record of the grades as well as a personal record of every high school student is filed; book records for various funds such as the Mirror. Athletic, Interscholastic, and other organizations are kept: publicity of the high school is given to the newspapers; school mail and school banking are handled; and eligibility lists are sent out to other schools.

The guides helped us up the trail by teaching us the languages which others use. their sciences, arts, industries, and the history of the races. Every year most of our teachers returned to help others start up the mountain, but always we were met by some new leaders. We had many obstacles to overcome, deep chasms to trap the unwary, sliding glaciers, and blinding snowstormes. Ry these tests of endurance our teachers determined whether or not we were capable of climbing still higher. The trip was made more interesting by the various contests with climbers of other mountains. Some of the huskiest of the climbers engaged in football, basket-ball, and track. Those prominent along these lines were Josephine Gill. Selma Speizer. Evelyn Kusminsky, Esther Blackmore, Irene Haney. Dick I homas, “Tom” Burke. Harold Cox, “Bud” Armour. Arthur Cornwell. Donald Godfrey, John McConnell, “Ted” Rudesill, “Bill I homas, and Birt Evans. Those whose talents were so inclined distinguished themselves along musical and literary lines. Some of these were endell Clepper, Robert Webb. William Armour. Velma Sunderland, Irene llaney, Anna Levy. Bernice Jones, Robert Merk, Catherine Fawcett, John McConnell, George Powell. Trevor Curran, Esther Blackmore. Helen Thomas. Edward Madden, and Israel Sonenthal. Some outstanding workers in the Commercial Department were Cora Knee. Donald Godfrey, Evelyn Bechdol. Josephine Gill. Ella Mae Wilson, Joe Pishic, Walter Hutchison.'Anna Levy. Arpad Fabian and Gertrude Unger. We kept in step much better to the stirring strains supplied by the band, orchestra, and glee club. By various organized activities we have increased the good fellowship of our class. As a means of acquainting all the climbers with the news of the party and as a source of inspiration, we had. as a reflector of our activities, the Mirror. The higher we climbed, the more interesting our outlook on those about us, and especially on the land from which we had started. e could sympathize with the poor beginners because we remembered our own fears and tremors at the start. We feel that we have left for them a shining ideal in the standard of our school. It is for them to keep it untarnished. We hope that the trail may be made less difficult for them because of our having passed over it. As we neared tlic summit of 'lie mountain, anticipation spurred us onward, and we reached the peak just as light first streaked the horizon. As we looked downward, we could see the entire past stretched behind us and could smile at our m stakes. When the gates of morning we-e flung back and a rose light filled the world. thcrc, at our Commencement, reaching out into measureless infinity before us were pictured all our vis 011s and unformed hopes for our future Life. As the sunrise flickered over the waiting earth, we caught a glimpse of lvgher mountains to climG of greater achievements to attain. for Life, with its fascinating promise of the Future, is waiting to be conquered. With courageous hear s the Clars of 27 faces the Commencement of Life. HELEN THOMAS MADGE HENRY :j ==r Class Poem Before me stretched the halls of Orb, the Keeper of the World. Here I. though young, had dared to come since the Master had summoned me. He met me at the threshold and led me to a room All muffled round with purple and sprinkled through with stars. As I stood in awe and wonder he drew, from out some secret vault. The world, a glowing orb all veiled in opalescent light. He bade me come quite near, and with a trembling heart I heard his words, afraid to move, afraid to stay. He motioned me to take within my youthful hands The globe that was his sacred trust. 1 faltered still and held it only with my wondering eyes: With lips that felt all stiff and strange. I mumbled my excuse: “I am so young, so unprepared, so unaccustomed To the weight that he who keeps the world must bear. Answering with a smile of tender understanding. He held the globe before me and slowly shook his head. “I know that you are very young, but I am old. You say you have but little knowledge: mine is spent. To you this life-bearing ball is a treasure to be cherished. For me, all faded and dim are its loveliest glows. I'm tired Of its wearying light and long for the shadows 1 see out beyond. My days are done. There is no one to whom I can trust it. O Youth. But to you who have faith and vision and love. I knew that life's deep call had come. Could I refuse the trust? I raised my trembling arms. And slowly, slowly, he laid in my hands A challenging, mysterious and wonderful burden: And I. Youth, was holding the world. KSTHF.R BLACK MORE.

It was a large book, well bound, but old and worn. I had come to borrow a broom from mv fellow-worker, the third floor janitor, .but upon seeing the book I asked, “What’s that?” 1 was given a broom for my answer, and my friend sent me downstairs to work. It was a long time before I saw the book again, but when I discovered the old janitor writing in it one afternoon, I recognized the strange red binding immediately and tiptoed up behind him. This is what he was writing: “March, 1935—Freshmen certainly came—The old fellow ‘.urned suddenly and saw me. He seemed embarrassed rather than angry. “I’ll tell you what it is. he said timidly. It’s only a sort of record I have kept of the achievements of each class for each of the fifteen years I’ve worked here. I had a son who graduated in the class of ’28.’’ said I . “I remember I was proud of his class. Let’s look up its history.” “Let me see, said he. thumbing the pages, “they st rated in ’24. Here—Year of ’24-75.” I looked at the book and saw the following entries: “October—Freshmen seem very young and dumb this year. They can’t quit looking at the ceiling. “January—The Freshmen seem to have remarkable ability for Interscholastics. Lewis Perkins, pianist; Samuel Nathan, debater; Florence Craig, singer; and Edward Diffendcr-fer, declaimer; make up a good Freshmen share of the Interscholastic team. “March—Freshmen just beat Seniors in interclass basketball game. “May—Freshmen are becoming bold. Some even appeared at high school banquet. I turned to the year ’25-’2f to find the following remarks about the Sophomore class of that year. “November—Sophomores have started to get honors. Janet Fedcr won the Safety Essay Contest. “February—More Interscholasticers from the class this year. Thomas O'Brien, Edward Hyde and Alan Roberts, all declaimers. have earned places on the team. “March—Red Merrick has been a splendid cheer leader this year. I turned the pages quickly to see what the next year’s Juniors had done. This is what I found : “November—Juniors surely have some football players in Welch, Conlon, Joyce and Polonus. Welch has been elected football captain for next year. “January—Juniors got most of the prizes in the Mirror Contest. “February—Janet Feder. extemporaneous speaker, and Robert Perkins, pianist, arc new Junior additions to Interscholastic. Helen Wise, Lois Shook, and Ethel Stambaugh have been helping the girls’ basket-ball team on to fame. ‘March—Juniors should be proud of Joe Conlon’s basket-ball playing. He is one of the best guards Sharon has ever had. He made Northwestern Tournament All-Star team. “May—Expecting next year one of the best Senior classes that Sharon has ever had.” “Where’s the year ’27-’28?’ I asked, after I had looked in vain for several minutes through the book. “Oh. that’s the page that’s torn out. I guess. replied the old janitor. “As I recall, though, that class did make its best record in the Senior year. Yes. your son graduated in a fine class. PALL GAMBLE. Sixty-seven rv= wA= LQi jr ==jr -i. _I Sophomore Progress =A_ n The travelers of the Class of 29 have arrived, conquering and triumphant, at the third milestone of their long journey over that rough HIGHWAY known as HIGH SCHOOL which leads onward to the final goal, EDUCATION. Two years ago this little group of travelers, having reached the end of that path called EIGHTH GRADE, suddenly found themselves cast on a straight and narrow highway along which they found great difficulty in making progress. However, they gradually began to adapt themselves to the well-worn road marked FRESHMEN, along which so many previous inexperienced hands have trudged. These newcomers found that in order to seem worthy of traversing so great a road, they must wage numerous battles against the stern foes who boldly confronted them, even threatening to block their progress along the HIGHWAY. It took much strength to overcome such offenders as CARELESSNESS and FAILURE, but the travelers showed such pluck that they were able to drive out all foes and to advance with fresh courage. At times when the way became very rough, a few. who were not so strong as the rest, fell by the wayside, but the others plodded on still determined to reach their goal. When the road looked stony and rough, they became discouraged, but glancing around for help, they were elated to have a willing guide, called PERSEVERANCE, offer his services in helping the weary travelers push aside huge rocks labeled DISCOURAGEMENT. As they progressed, they noticed several roundabout paths which offered a chance for extra honors and burdens for those who were capable of bearing them. Some of these were marked DETOUR-TO-INTERSCHOLASTIC-TRYOUTS and DETOUR-TO-ATHLETIC ATTEMPTS. Many of the travelers ventured to test their ability along these paths, thereby gaining much experience for themselves and sometimes, honors. Finally after much persistence the little group emerged joyfully at the second milestone marked SOPHOMORES! With confident and ambitious hea.ts the travelers began their journey on .his new section of the HIGHWAY. As they advanced, they met a new guide, one whom by their own efforts they had earned. This guide, EXPERIENCE. who brought with him. COURAGE, taught the ambitious group how to forget their own grievances and to forge ahead in spite of difficulties. Thus, even when the road was rough and almost completely barricaded with rocks, the travelers stuck together. few falling behind this time. They were still to learn more of the value of that new-found guide, EXPERIENCE. No other assistant could have advised, comforted, and encouraged them as wisely as this one. It was EXPERIENCE who promised to help them in seeking out the little detours, and it was with the aid of the same assistant that many won honors. At the present time our little band of travelers has arrived still triumphant at the third miles one of the great HIGHWAY, that which is marked JUNIORS! May the Class of 29 keep on in its constant success; on, past the third milestone and the fourth, until they reach the end of that great HIGHWAY known as HIGH SCHOOL, and may they continue then still onward toward their final goal. EDUCATION! PATRICIA DANN, 29. Sixty-nine Seventy rs__ r L itf The Freshman Class September seventh dawned without the usual rainstorm, leaving a wonderful dav—to go swimming. Hut that could not be thought of. for far away the faint sound of a school bell was calling us unfortunates to school. “Unfortunates means Freshies who would spend many a dark hour over a Collar and Daniels' Latin book or some exact Algebra. The first day we received our books, assignments, and also a good many lectures on How to Study.” The first day also called the football candidates. James Murphy was the only Freshman later to play in a scheduled game. We have great hopes for James in future years. After this first day things began to work more smoothly. We began to know our teachers and our teachers, alas, began to know us. Latin began to realize that there was a difference between an equation and a factor. We also began to develop our muscles by carrying home more than one book at night. Hut as we were imbibing all this knowledge, football season waned and basket-ball season came in. James Murphy with Leroy Tarr. Bud Laycock, and David Compton made four of the fifteen. Two Freshman girls also made a good showing on the girls' basket-ball team. They were Eva Conti and Anna Zaverich. In Interscholastic Contests Jane Chester. Francis Powell. Maurice Anion and Helen Hastress were the Freshman accepted. A Sharon High Freshman won the county Algebra Tryout. Time went slowly for a long time, and absolutely nothing seemed to happen. Something did happen, finally, and that was when Miss Reed started a review. We balled up Hammurapi and Thutmose so badly that we felt in danger of our lives. We were simply terrorized when Miss Boyce also began a review and asked casually what a literal number was. As the teachers fussed and fumed at the way we remembered things. The only soothing period was English, where the Merchant of Venice made us think of sunny Italy long ago when there weren't any schools. Then like oil on troubled waters, vacation came. We glided out of the Frosh harbor to that sea which separated us from being Sophs. We were no longer lowly Freshmen! We heaved out our chests and sailed on—for we had passed. Without light. There is no life. Without life. There is no world. So let us work That we may make. With our work and life, A happier world. ERIC THOMPSON, '30. Scventy-onc =Y |Ql The Year In The Eighth Grade You know, we eighth graders stormed Sharon High. A few va.ds or so away On the platform, Professor Jones S.ood, on our opening day. Yes, stormed we did! For when people are so excited that they can hardly sit still, they naturally cause great confusion. It was the first day of school of the first year in the new high school building for the eighth grade of 1926; therefore everybody was in his best array. Suddenly the noise ceased, and we were assigned to our home rooms. Oh. how our hearts fell as we looked around to see strange faces! Only here and there could we pick out one we knew as an old acquaintance. We eyed our teachers with an evil eye. and made up our minds as to whether we liked them or not. But one can not always judge by the looks. I think in many cases it turned out to be love at first sight. We gazed with awe at the splendor around us and picked out our favorite drinking fountain. The gymnasium and auditorium received a fair share of our attention. Next came the task of settling down to work. This was not at all easy when one is used to staying in one room for all studies. The bells at the change of classes bothered 11s at first and often aroused us from a stolen daydream. But soon we grew accustomed to our schedules, and everything went along in a clock-work way. It was a great relief to be able to eat in the cafeteria. Here we got food like that our mothers cooked when we used to go home at noon from the ward buildings. Athletics interested us from the first. We tried to show our loyalty and enthusiasm toward our football and basket-ball teams. We put our greatest trust in those boys to carry old Sharon High to victory and were always rewarded in the end for our help. The eighth grades also had their own little games in the gymnasium. The week’s program was often changed on account of cooking, sewing, and gymnastics, and every pupil of the eighth grade looked forward to these extra classes. The eighth graders held an assembly in the auditorium every week for the purpose of getting together for singing. During the year many great events, which we might attend, took place. These included the games and the interscholastic contests. Almost every Friday a rally was held in the gymnasium. Here we had cheer practice and exercised our lungs as well as any class there. We tried to contribute to the Mirror. In the Mirror contest first prize was won by Helen Louise Taylor for an essay on “The Origin of Our Flag.” Each room of the eleven eighth grades had its own Mirror reporter. The year has been a pleasant and succesful one for the Eighth Grade. And next fall we shall begin another term with faithfully-made resolutions to benefit our school as well as ourselves.

Among the things you will notice, the corner of the blackboard sacred to announcements will surely catch your eye. On the upper corner is this news: “Le Cercle Francais at 7:45 Wednesday. That will make you wonder. A drawing on the wall will stand out to you as slightly extraordinary. The fleur-de-lis background with its emblem-like appearance will convince you that it is the seal of organization. Miss McBride, walking up to aid you in your curiositv. will tell you that “the talented Eleanor Weaver copied that from the club pin. But what club pin? Surely, you have heard of Le Cercle Francais! Le Cercle Francais, if you haven’t already guessed it, is the French club. There are two branches, the Petit Cercle made up of first year students and the Grand Cercle of those whose knowledge of French has had the advantage of two years’ cultivation. Some time in mid-year, when the older club gets its initiation ready, the younger club joins with the other, and is granted the privilege of appearing on the programs. And the club programs are good. The scenes from L’Abbe Contsantin.” with Betty Cunningham and Florence Ague as the priests, will be long remembered. Several scenes from Le Poudre Aux Yeux. were also presented. The club is the proud possessor of several victrola records. At the meetings it is a common sight to see Ewart Cornwell and Snooze Curran balancing a victrola on their strong arms. In '2b the club purchased French song books. Every meeting in hearty enthusiasm they chant. “Marchons, mar-chons cju’un sang itnpur a breuve nos sillons,” La Boulangere” is always the favorite song. French composers are played at the meetings. Can you find a club with more enthusiasm and life? Social activities are found in their proper proportions. At the Christmas party and February dance the general fun indicated that the members of Le Cercle Fran-cais were truly normal creatures. For the education of aspiring linguists a number of books were purchased with the surplus funds of the year before. Consequently if you are interested in the French Club a trip to the library will show the results of endless committee meetings and untiring efforts of the treasurers. When you wonder at the merits of such a club, however, do not give too much credit to the student members. Remember the work and efforts of Miss McBride and appreciate her enthusiasm which inspires the club. The Senior members' memories of pleasant meetings will long remain to mingle with the best wishes for success they extend to their enterprising successors.

The popularity of the society had become so great during the previous year that only a fraction of those desiring membership could be admitted. Accordingly it was decided to divide the club into two sections, Senior and Junior. The Senior Latin Club is a society for the promotion of interest in subjects of Latin nature. It furnishes a definite link between the Latin classics and history itself, in that it supplies a background of Roman atmosphere. The influence of Roman literature upon modern society is also brought out. together with the similarity of the two great republics, Rome and America. In this way students come to appreciate more fully the study of the Latin language. The Senior Latin Club is limited to Juniors and Seniors with a Latin grade of at least 85%. The regular meetings of the club are held on the last Thursday of each month. During the past year over a hundred students were enrolled as members, of which a large majority regularly attended the meetings. Besides the regular programs at these meetings, special features were brought in. Several spell-downs were held: one on Latin etymology, one on Greek derivatives, one on Latin idioms, and one on common Latin phrases. The club also gave two dramatizations during the year. The first, The Punishment of Xiobe,” was given in an afternoon performance and later in the school assembly. In the latter part of the year. “The Conspiracy of Cataline,” was presented. The Junior Latin Club is for Latin students of the Freshman and Sophomore classes. It is closely modeled after its brother society. The aim of the club is to give the student an acquaintance with Roman life and Latin literature beyond what can be given in the classroom. Thus a finer appreciation of the language may be obtained and a better groundwork be gained for future study. The Aquilifer is the bearer of a banner which carries the strange device 'S. P. Q. R. Latin students know that this is ancient Roman insignia meaning For the Senate and the Roman People.” The Censor offers criticisms on the programs together with suggestions for their betterment. As may be inferred, the Cantor is the vocal artist who leads the club in the singing of Latin songs such as “Adeste Fideles.” For Faculty advisers this year, the Senior Club had Mr. O. W. Raney, while Miss Saeger, Miss Gibbons, and Miss Cousins were in charge of the Junior Latin Club.

It was an outgrowth of the Biology Club. During the first term the Biology Club met several times under the leadership of Bernardine Reilly. At the first meeting officers were chosen, a good program was presented, and refreshments were served. During the program Mr. Marks and Mr. Kirschner judged a number of plants which were raised and cared for by members of last year’s Biology classes. Mary McConnell's plant was judged best according to size and appearance. Mr. Kirschner gave a talk in which he suggested that, since the three subjects overlapped so much, the formation of a Science club would be beneficial to all concerned. The students were favorably impressed, but referred the matter to the next meeting for more discussion. At the next meeting the group voted to join with the other departments. The Biology Club was not dissolved at once, pending the success of the Science Club. The election of officers took place at the first meeting. The nominees were selected by a board, composed of Mr. Dickerson. Arthur Cornwell, Edward Palmer, and Betty Cunningham. A new constitution was drawn up. All necessary provisions were made and the document was approved. The membership is composed of students taking the three sciences, and is the largest of any club in the school. Near the end of the year six to ten Freshmen studying General Science are taken into the club, the object being to direct their attention to Science. The meetings are held once a month. The activities of the club show the type of work that can be accomplished. The programs are very interesting and instructive, carrying out the club’s aim to bring into closer relationship the three science departments. A sample program would be something like this: A nature essay, Biology department; a talk on dyes, Chemistry department; an experiment in air pressure. Physics department; a piano solo; a talk on the composition of the earth; a treatise on aerial roots; and another musical number. The faculty advisers give suggestions and criticisms. The meeting in February was a social success. All departments were very well represented. Card playing was the diversion. Refreshments were served in the cafeteria to accomodate the large group. The new organization is sponsored by Mr. Dickerson, Mr. Kirschner, and Mr. Marks. Each one has aided in every possible way to make the association a successful one. The Science Club, although new in the school, has its counterparts in many other schools of our own size. Its worth here has not been fully established with the students, but it is hoped that the club's aim will be fully achieved another year.

To begin with, the organization had a few more members and a better distribution of instruments. With a part of the proceeds from the School Concert fast year, some valuable new instruments were bought. The most important of these was the Sousaphone, whose pompous notes have helped the band very much. The organization has had more practice time this year and the results have been pleasing, for the increased variety in the music has been appreciated by everyone. One of the high spots of the year was the performance in the Hallowe'en parade, when the band won the prize for being the best group to pass the judges' stand. With only five players in the graduating class, the present indications are that next year will bring forth the best band Sharon High has ever had. The members: First lib Cornets: Lewis Perkins. Harmon Rice. Milton Schreiber, Floyd Billig. Maurice Amon. Second Bb Cornets: Owen Miller. Arthur Sheddon, Franklin Hart. Third Bb Cornets: Henry Lauer, Kenneth Brest. Philip Diehl, Luther Counts.

Eilfhty-fivc %rS= r The High School Orchestra Each year in reviewing the activities of tTie orchestra we find that some very definite progress has been made, and that the year's work has contributed at least one thing to the efficiency of the organization. This year that progressive step lias been the arrangement of the members into definite positions determined by their ability. This distribution has been especially noticeable in the violin section; and a strong body of second violins has added to the harmony in the rendition of many selections. In the organization there are now fifty-two members. Professor David Rees does the directing. The orchestra has had an especially active season. Not only did it furnish the music for all assemblies, but it also added a great deal of pleasure to the programs of interscholastic contests. On Christmas morning the annual performance was given at the Elks' Benefit show for the children of the valley. On February 21, the orchestra and chorus presented the “Village Blacksmith.” a musical arrangement of the Longfellow poem. Although there are twelve members lost this year by graduation, the talent of the lower classes looks so promising that the efficiency of the organization should not fall below the standard set during past years. The musicians: First B Flat Clarinets: P. Gamble, T. First Violins: R. Merk, M. Anion. I. Blaner, E. Ahlstrom. Sonenthal, M. Isenberg, E. Thompson, M. Second B Flat Clarinets: E. Zappa, D.

The Officers Robert Webb ...................President Cora Knee .....................Secretary Elbert Ahlstrom ...............Librarian Eighty-seven n The Chorus For the first time since music has been taught in the High School, credit is being given for chorus work. The quarter of a credit given may be counted for graduation if necessary. The Chorus has met every Monday during the regular periods and at three o’clock on Monday in the auditorium. The work this year has been unusually interesting, and as a result large crowds have attended the practices. There are about two hundred members in the Chorus, the Seniors having the largest attendance. The club, on the whole, has been very active this year. On February 21 they presented, after long practice and a great deal of hard work, “The Village Blacksmith,” by Gaines, an arrangement of the famous Longfellow poem. Before the song was given. Esther Blackmore gave a reading and Irene Haney sang a solo. Evelyn Beckdoi and Florence Craig took the solo parts in “The Village Blacksmith, and William Edeburn was the blacksmith. In realistic fashion he pounded the anvil in time to “Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree.” sung by the Chorus. The children, brought from grade school for the occasion, skipped in and out to see him at his “flaming forge.” He heard his daughter's voice singing in the village choir, and it made his heart rejoice. The Blacksmith, through with his labors, went home to rest and prepare for the labors of the following day. This same performance was presented in the Columbia Theatre on March 25 in place of the regular amateur night program. The members of the orchestra are to be congratulated upon their playing for this presentation. The music has not been published, but was played from the manuscript as written by Gaines. On Friday. March 11. a program was presented at the Liberty Theatre. The boys’ chorus sang Mary and Her Chewing Gum,” much to the amusement of the audience. A girls' sextet was formed for the occasion. Between the songs the orchestra entertained. The Glee Club has hopes of entering a contest at Conneaut Lake in the spring. The schools of the state send their choruses in the early part of May to compete in singing. This contest will resemble that held in Grove City last year when two schools competed. Good luck. Mr. Rees and Glee Clubs to come! It has been due to the hard work and untiring efforts of Mr. Rees during the years that he has had charge of the Chorus that it has attained its present importance.

Under Miss Elizabeth McMullen and her aids. Miss Rowena MacBride, Miss Gretchen Stewart, Miss Mary Miner, Mr. J. I. Reaney and Mr. Harvey Moore, the literary contestants were guided not only to success, but to good and clean sportsmanship. Mr. David Rees took capable charge of the violin, vocal and piano events. Debate Wendell Clepper William Armour Samuel Nathan Edward Madden Alternates: John McConnell. Robert Madden. Harry Thompson. We can’t promise these people United States Senatorships. but they are well on their way. Oration Esther Blackmore Robert Webb Thomas O’Brien Trevor Curran Alternates; Florence Tupper, Walter Palmer. Although oration is a difficult event, the scores reveal not one defeated orator. Ninety «=A, tfii Extemporaneous Speaking George Powell Janet Feder Alternates: Harriet Buchholz, John Fisher, Madge Henry. This event found a well-seasoned soldier in George and a new recruit in Janet. Essay Florence Tupper Helen Thomas Esther Blackmore Alternates: Gladys Baker, Arlene Smith, Margaret Sullivan. Honor students, orators, basket-ball stars. Mirror staff members grouped themselves under essay. Declamation Edward Hyde John McConnell Paul Bodamer Alternates: Francis Dresch, Joe Merrick, Francis Powell. Declamation heralded our handsome cheerleader, a football hero, and a “wee bit” man. Recitation Jane Chester Ruth Wagoner Alvera Hannon Alternates: Stella Harris, Florence Craig, Martha Wilson, Coramae Troutman. Underclassmen were interested in recitation and capably proved that underclassmen are not always underlings. Voice Florence Craig Irene Haney Alternates: Julia Ray, Velma Sunderland, Helen Popodak. Records show these names elsewhere: Florence in recitation, and Irene as a star basket-ball center. Violin Maurice Amon Robert Merk Alternate: Melvin Isenberg. Robert and Melvin are lost this year by graduation, but Maurice has three years in which to offer his talent. Piano Lewis Perkins Robert Perkins Mary Louise Carnes Alternates: Evelyn Morgan. Carolyn Daverio, Helen Bastress. The bashful brothers carried the laurels as usual. A new contestant, Mary Louise Carnes, did splendid work. The County Round-up of 1926, held in Greenville, proved most successful. for the Sharon warriors found themselves proud possessors of both the County and Class A cups. The first places awarded to Sharon were: Oration—John Cassidy; Essay—Esther Blackmore; Recitation—Ruth Wagoner; Violin—Ray Furney; Business Letter Writing—Paul Gamble; Spelling—Cecilia Van Horn; Algebra—Robert Madden. Second places: Declamation—Thomas O’Brien; Spelling—Israel Sonen-thal; American History—Catherine Fawcett. Third places: Extemporaneous Speaking—George Powell. Ninety-one The Junior Chamber of Commerce was organized to promote interest in the Commercial Department, to help the students become conversant with modern business methods and customs, to furnish a means of developing initiative and personality, and to cultivate a social atmosphere. Membership in this organization is limited. Only students doing work of a satisfactory grade may become members. The club meets once a month after school for a business meeting and once a month in the evening for a social gathering. A program is given at each evening meeting. During the past year the members of this club have accomplished quite a few things. They have made a survey of the business houses in an effort to find out where graduates fail. They have published a paper. “The Junior Business World.” which has been sent to the largest high schools in Pennsylvania. The club, early in the fall, held a fox and hound chase at which everyone had a very enjoyable time. In January they visited a session of court in Mercer. This proved very instructive as well as interesting. They have also entertained the Juniors in the Commercial Department and the parents of members. Mr. Dubbs, Head of the Commercial Department, has sponsored the club very capably. Donald Godfrey ................President Evelyn Beckdol ................Secretary Julia Reagle ............Vice President Jack Barry ....................Treasurer Ninety - two Junior Chamber of Commerce jf Espana Pequenita Kspa-na Pequenita is a club for Spanish students in the High School. It is similar to the organizations of Spanish students in other high schools, its purpose being educational as well as social. The first meeting was held rather late in the year, and nominations were made. At a special meeting called soon after, the officers were elected. Business matters and plans for the club were discussed, and various committees were chosen. A new constitution was drawn up and approved at the meeting following the election. Several of the provisions are different from those of the old constitution. Officers are to be elected each semester. However, due to the late start, the elected officers continued to serve for the rest of the term. The programs have been received with great interest by the members. Sketches were taken from the textbooks and dramatized. Instructive talks talks and essays were given on Spanish subjects. The club was conducted in Spanish after the group became better organized. The club lias begun to prosper under the sponsorship of the new Spanish instructor. Miss Forest. And the graduating members hope that the club will accomplish still more next year. Officers Ann Connair ...............Secretary John McConnell ........... Treasurer Ninety-three 7 T. M. T. M. “Heave Ho, My Hearties!” “Lead On! Such were the cries that rang through the high school when the Pirates took possession of it. A tug of war in the hall started everything. Then a treasure hunt caused the Pirates to run from the third floor to the basement. A typical pirate program was given, and “pirate dainties were served. Such was the meeting at which the T. M. T. M. entertained the Senior girls of Sharpsville, Farrell and Hickory High Schools. The mothers, teachers. Sophomore and Junior girls, and finally the Senior boys were all in their turn entertained at equally delightful parties. The purpose of the club is to promote a friendly feeling among the girls of Sharon, and between Sharon girls and those of neighboring schools. The clubs of former years have helped to restrain the heated rivalry that has always eixsted between Sharon High and the other schools of the Valley. The meetings this year have, to a great extent, accomplished the first part of the purpose. The Kiris have filled a great need by caring for the check room at the basket-ball games. The club sold candy at the games, too. The proceeds went to help defray incidental expenses of the High School, and to pay good outside speakers for assemblies. Miss Saegcr and Mrs. Roberts, the faculty advisers, deserve our hearty thanks. For it was really through their untiring efforts that the club was a success.

Ninety-five Spe-Re Wri Probably at no other time since its beginning has the Spe-Re-Wri Club experienced and overcome so many difficulties as have been met this year. In the first place the graduation of the class of 1926 dwindled the membership to only a few. and those few found it extremely difficult to arrange and carry on programs at the scheduled times. But under the direction of the faculty adviser, Mr. Rcancy, and through the hard work of the president, the membership of the club has grown to several times its original size, and interesting, well-planned programs have again proved of real value to those who attended. One of the outstanding activities of the year was a series of joint meetings held with the Alpha Literary Club of Farrell High School. Xot only did such work greatly increase the good feeling between the schools, but gave the interscholastic contestants an opportunity to keep in touch with the work being done by other teams. The club should have a fine start next year because of the increased membership and the experience which Junior and Sophomore members have gained through this year’s work.

Football Of the nine games on the 1926 football schedule, six were labeled victories. two were marked defeats, and one was a scoreless deadlock. The financial end of the team suffered severely on account of poor weather conditions. which prevailed for the greater number of home games and sadly reduced the gate receipts. In each game on the schedule the team was forced to give all it had to win and sometimes that was given in vain. For a team such as represented Sharon in 1925 the schedule was light, but for the team of 1926 it was heavy. At the beginning of the season the team was inexperienced and consequently played smaller schools. As the squad slowly changed from the green stage to the finished machine, the games became harder. Such teams as Sharpsville. Farrell, Erie Central and Meadville were played, the last mentioned holding a 7 to 6 victory over the 1925 team. And the eleven that didn’t look so good at the beginning of the season did the unexpected by defeating Farrell and Meadville. playing Erie Central to a 0-0 tie, and giving Sharpsville the battle of their lives although the Yellow Jackets lost to them by a margin of one touchdown and two points after touchdowns. Coaches R. B. McCandless and I. J. Laws tutored the Orange and Black and developed a team that was a credit to their coaching and to the school. The coaches, knowing their material to be green and lacking in avoirdupois. Ninety-eight got an early start by holding two weeks of pre-season training at the football camp along Shenango River. In the teams of the past few years the smash and run type of football has been in vogue due to the heavy teams. The eleven of 1926 abandoned this kind of play and gave the people the brand of football that they all like, a fast running game mixed with forward passes. In the first four games on the schedule a running style of play was used with very few forward passes. The squad then went up against their strongest and likewise their bitterest rival when the Yellow Jackets played the powerful Sharpsville eleven at Sharpsville. The first half of the game showed that Sharon was not a match for the style of play used by their heavier opponents. The Yellow Jackets lived up to their name and fought desperately only to have the Blue and White score twice. In the second half Sharon played a passing game which was the only thing left for them to do. Such an aerial game had not been witnessed in years. Sharpsville's heavy stonewall line being powerless against such an attack. Sharon scored twice by this method, but were not destined to win. From that time on to the end of the season the loyal fans saw an aerial game. Even against Farrell, a game played in mud and water half a foot deep, Sharon completed half the passes attempted. A team with a better fighting spirit could not be found. They played the game fair and square and fought until the last whistle. If the game ended in defeat, they came back stronger than ever, determined to bring home a victory the following week. In Dick Thomas the squad had a capable leader. Besides knowing the game from A to Z, he was an all-around lmckfield man. He ran the ends, he could buck the line or throw forward passes, and above all he was on the receiving end of the famous Cox to Thomas forward passing combination. Dick's work on the defense was nothing short of spectacular, earning for him the reputation of being a dead-sure tackier. Football sweaters were issued to fourteen men. eight of whom will be lost to next year’s team through graduation. They are capt. Thomas (hb). Harold Cox (qb), Don Godfrey (fb). Bud Armour (g). Tom Burke (g). Art Cornwell (c), Ted Rudisell (t). and Birt Evans (qb). The lettermen available for next year’s squad are Capt.-Elect Mont Welsh (t). Mike Sebastian (hb).

The team took the floor with but with one veteran gracing the lineup and finished the season, veterans all of a hard campaign. They were more than veterans; they were stars. Twenty-five victories out of twenty-seven games is the record of the Yellow Jacket squad for 1927. Among the team’s accomplishments are: Mercer County championship. Northwestern Pennsylvania championship, and runners-up for the State championship. From the first game, the Yellow Jackets gave promise of being a great team. At that time was started the triumphant drive that netted them fourteen consecutive victories. While making this record Sharon played an unbeatable brand of basket-ball which bewildered their opponents. During this period the Yellow Jackets are proud to have numbered among their victims the Dover High team which was twice mowed down before the Sharon attack. This same team, that failed to conquer Sharon, won the State of Ohio championship. In the fifteenth game of the season the Sharon boys went into a slump and were defeated by the Farrell High team, which Sharon had previously defeated with ease. Under the careful training of Coach Dickerson the team managed to go through the remainder of the regular season without a de- One Hundred rf==%J feat. In the last game of the regular schedule the Yellow Jackets returned almost to their old form to wallop Erie Central. After being defeated by Farrell, the Orange and black started another drive which netted them eleven straight victories. The Yellow Jackets were able to enter the county tournament in fairly good condition, and they improved every game. Sharon came out on top by defeating Fredonia. Greenville. and Sharpsville. By doing so, they won the right to enter the Northwestern tourney at Grove Citv. Sharon had little trouble with Kane in the first round of the Northwestern tournament; but many predicted defeat at the hands of the fast Brook-ville team, which won over Erie East on the first night. Brookville was doomed to disappointment, for the Yellow Jackets played a brilliant gatnti and fought their way to' the Northwestern championship and the right to enter the State Tournament. At State College the big test came, and the Orange and Black showed that if they were not the best in the State, they were at least second best. Summit Hill was Sharon’s first opponent, and the Easterners were disposed of in a fast game. The second game was played with Sharon’s ancient and respected rival. New Castle, Western Pennsylvania champions. In this fray the Sharon team played the game as only a Dickerson-coached machine can, and nosed out the Red and Black in a great battle. In the final game for the State championship, the Yellow Jackets met defeat at the hands of the Steel-ton High squad, but not until Sharon had given the winners a real fight. The Orange and Black outplayed and outscored Steelton in the first half, and it looked as if Sharon was to be the new champion. Due to the personal foul rule it was a much weakened Sharon team that faced Steelton in the second half, but after the game Coach Paul Rupp of Steelton stated that Sharon was the best team to face his boys in the enire season.

One hundred one HT Basket-Ball, Girls Never before in the history of Sharon High has any girls' varsity basketball squad enjoyed so much popularity in their regular season as the 1927 team. Beginning with the winning of the national championship by the famous 1926 team, the girls’ squad has rivaled the boys as a drawing card. This year found the crowd cheering madly for the Sharon girls to come through when formerly only perfunctory applause greeted a clever play, and it took an exceptional one to get even this half-hearted recognition. After winning every one of the fourteen games on the regular schedule, an otherwise perfect record was marred by a defeat at the tournament. Coached by Miss Agnes Flinn, who was ably assisted by Miss DeVore. the team rode rough shod over a great many of their rivals. A great deal of credit, is due to Miss Flinn who has tutored the Orange and Black for the past three years .in which time Sharon has had three winning teams. Twice the Flinn lassies have won recognition by being invited to the National Girls’ Scholastic Basket-ball tournament, where they carried away the honors in 1926 and put up a game but losing battle in 1927. Exactly four regulars and two substitutes were lost to the team by graduation. leaving only Capt. Jo Gill and Selma Speizer. But these two. who were considered the best pair of guards at the national tournament last year, were half a team themselves. With these two girls as the nucleus a winning combination was developed. Four new faces appeared in the lineup as the girls One hundred two fe=A. Lfli took the floor against the Alumni team in the opening game, and all played like veterans. '1'he hooks show wins over a number of strong teams, including: two over the strongest team ever to wear the blue and gold of Farrell High: two over the New Castle girls, who had defeated the championship team: and one over the Warren. (). sextet, which played the champions to a 20-20 standstill. To climax the season the Orange and Black played and defeated the Warren, Pa. team, which, previous to meeting Sharon, had not lost a game and had piled up some five-hundred points against their opponents. The class of the Orange and Black can be shown by the fact that they defeated the Warren, O. girls in the second regularly scheduled contest. The Sharon lassies for the most part were new and untried, while the Ohio girls had the same team of veterans that had held last year’s squad to a tie score. The Sharon girls, after playing a game that continually kept the crowd in a frenzy of excitement, won the game in the last five seconds of play. Later the girls set a new precedent by defeating New Castle on their own floor by a small margin. By the time that the Red and Black appeared at Sharon, the Flinn lassies had reached such a stage of perfection that New Castle was completely outclassed by Sharon's smooth work. With the exception of Farrell High. Sharon had no trouble at all in disposing of the various county teams in an easy fashion. Farrell was a different proposition, for the Steelers” were out for Sharon’s scalp, and both games were real struggles. The final game of the season was played with the Warren, Pa. girls, who had walloped every team in their district, and were faring forth to find new lands to conquer. This game came at the time when the Sharon girls were at their best. The Warren lassies were swamped, for the Orange and Black displayed a brilliant passing attack and combined this with an uncanny ability to hit the basket. In recognition of their splendid record, the Westfield challenge committee invited Sharon to defend their title in the National Tournament at Wichita. Kansas. After making the thousand-mile trip, the Orange and Black drew the Lawton, Oklahoma team and were defeated in the first game. Although defeated the Sharon girls upheld the honor of Sharon High by going down fighting before the strongest team in the tournament, for these same Westerners later won the championship. The following girls earned letters: Capt. Jo Gill. Selma Speizer. Esther Blackmore. Irene Haney. Helen Brenner, Lois Shook. Helen Wise, and Evelyn Kusminsky.

Under the supervision of Mr. Leo McKay. Miss Sarah Graham Morrison, and a few other members who were interested in the work, the membership was brought up to the mark of seven hundred and thirty-one in the first year. Last year Mr. John Wilson and Mrs. S. H. Phillips were very active officers and showed keen interest in behalf of the association. Mr. Ted Buckley, who was elected president of the association this year, and Miss Ethel Carley, secretary, are also putting forth their best efforts for the success of the organization. We hope that their efforts will be rewarded by raising the membership beyond the seven hundred mark. When the association was started, there were no definite plans except that of the Memorial Fund. This is a fund used for sending to college boys and girls who have ability and need assistance. Last year this fund was greatly increased by the help of the so-called “vanishing parties.” The first of these was given by Mrs. S. H. Phillips, and the entire community, with a great deal of enthusiasm, carried them on to success. More than $1700 was, in this way. earned for the fund, and seven students were aided in continuing their college education. Each year the organization sponsors many social activities. During the early part of the month of September it holds an annual banquet to celebrate its birthday. This is perhaps the most interesting affair as it enables each one to meet his old classmates and also to make new acquaintances. A trophy is given to the class that has the greatest number of members present at this banquet. This trophy is engraved with the graduating year of the winning class. Each year the Alumni stage two basket-ball games with the high school. A dance is held in the high school gym near Christmas time. Who can forge , tin successful musi-comedy, Don’t Park Here staged in March by our energetic Alumni in order to send our girls’ team to Wichita? The Alumni Association has always shown a deep interest in the affairs of Sharon High School and has utilized various means to urge students to climb toward the right standards. Each year a prize is offered to the football player that has the highest scholastic average. Awards are also given to the girl or hoy with the same record on the basket-ball team. Awards are presented at Commencement to the best all-around boy and the best all-around girl of the Senior Class. The Alumni have been very willing in many ways to aid us in our school work. On the pages of this Year Book, we wish to thank them in behalf ol the entire school. We are especially grateful to those who have participated in our school assemblies and those who have written for our school magazine, The Mirror. In June we, the Seniors of ’27. shall join ‘.he Alumni of Sharon High School and give our best efforts to make the Association a greater success. One hundred six Wanted: A New National Bird America symbolizes liberty, happiness, and peace. However, she has for a national bird one that is a direct contrast to her ideals. Her eagle is symbolic of war and aggressive power. Should it be our national bird? Besides, the eagles are birds of ill repute. They subsist principally upon fish. As a last resort they sometimes catch these themselves, but usually they take dead fish cast on the shore by the waves. They also have the habit of robbing the fish hawk of his well-earned prey. In the South they feed principally upon waterfowl, another obnoxious habit. Their song is a dreadful grating noise resembling a maniacal laugh. Our national bird should be one of truly national character, one that is symbolic of this nation alone. The eagle is not. It inhabits most parts of the world. The use of the eagle as an emblem is not original with the United States. The ancient Romans employed it as their standard. It was the French emblem during the rule of the Bonaparts. Other modern countries are using it. Russia. Austria, and Prussia have for their emblem a two-headed eagle. The Almighty himself seems to have intended that the bluebird should be our national bird. To fit it for such a position he gave the bluebird all the essential qualities. The bird carries the three colors of our country s (lag. Concerning this plumage Thoreau said that it carried the sky on its back: John Buroughs added, “and the earth on his breast. 1 he bluebird has a splendid record as a destroyer of insects. His sweet disposition, his gentle and lovable ways, and his fascinating song make him the most welcome of all birds. In fact the people look to the return of the bluebird as a herald of nature's rejuvenation, to his departure as a sign of nature s return to dormancy This bird, svmbolic of all that is happy and good, should be our national bird. ' ELBERT AHLSTROM. ’27. One hundred erven I The Constitution Today For one hundred and forty years the Constitution has been tlie embodiment of the spirit of this commonwealth. It still stands firm. After every struggle it becomes more sacred and more binding; each phrase unites our people with a tie more unbreakable; and its precepts are more indelibly printed in the heart of every American. The battles of Trenton and Yorktown achieved it; the tense moments of Gettysburg preserved it; the struggle of the Argonne hallowed it. Through the changes of the years, through altering conditions, it has been necessary to add but little and detract nothing from that great law. Surely the makers of such a document .were inspired. Yet they did not build blindly. They were familiar with the history of republics since Rome, knew the workings of all European governments, and were acquainted with the writings of such masters of political science as Montesquieu and Rousseau. Among those fifty-five men were America’s greatest; Washington, with his iron will: Franklin, with his tact and insight; Hamilton, with his energy and power of analysis; Madison, with his quiet persuasion; and the absem Jefferson, with his democratic influence. During those hot summer months of 1787 these master minds toiled with a goal, an ideal before them. They recognized the impossibility of a complete democracy and the weakness of a monarchy. In formulating a plan for a representative democracy, each of the three great departments having a complete check on the others, they created a masterpiece of poltical machinery whose design was to be copied by some of the greatest of modern republics. The Constitution is today a monument to the genius of its framers. It is a living, active memorial to their unselfishness. Under it America has become the world’s wealthiest and most powerful nation. Such a nation should be an example, an ideal, a helper, to all governments and to all men. Yet, my friends, I fear that other countries are beginning to look to us with envy, hatred, and jealousy. Some have felt the lash of our commercial imperalism and the sting of our economic aggrandizement. Can our country afford to sacrifice national ideals, honor, and the good will of the world for economic interests? Was it for this avidity for power that our fathers toiled? Was it of wealth alone that they dreamed? The Great Teacher said that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Might not this great truth apply to nations as well as to individuals? Liberty is the keynote of the Constitution. Are we to encroach upon weaker nations who are trying to bring about this very thing in their own lands, in their own way? Weakness deserves consideration. As Charles Sumner has said : Avoiding then all exultation in the prosperity that has enriched our land, let us study what we can do to attain to that righteousness which exalteth a nation.” Are economics interests, petty partvism, national isolation from world affairs, and influenced politics destroying the ideals of ‘87? The future looks to us, to our generation for the constructive enlarging and the preservation of our heritage, a sound govenment. If we fail in this, our outstanding duty, ours will be a period of stagnation and decline in history, and these years will have passed for naught in America. Enthusiasm for the Constitution and its precepts must be aroused. We must stand by our government in its dealings and policy. But in rejuvenating this spirit, we must proceed with care lest our enthusiasm overcome our better judgment. We, American citizens, would rise as one man to defend our country and our Constitution. We would gladly die to protect the life, liberty, and property of our people. But without undue haste, let us pause and think—ponder our motives. It may be that our lives, our property, and our honor are being jeopardized by our own selfishness. Just consideration will encourage intimate intercourse and arbitration. World peace will be nearer, that goal of today, that ideal of civilization. It is a significant fact that the Constitution was opposed for the same reasons which our nation now gives for its failure to participate in world arbitration. In striving for these ideals we must set aside local bickerings, petty politics, unworthy One hundred eight f=%r Si ambitions, and must dedicate our best men, our best thought, to upholding of the Constitution. What I desire for nty country is that we keep and deserve that reputation which our fathers created for us; through that mighty law a reputation for justice and chivalry and magnanimity. Then will a real Americanism stand as an example to all men; in the hearts of our people will dwell unselfishness, and in their souls will live the prayer: “God of our fathers, known of old— Lord of the far-flung battle line. Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine— l.ord God of hosts, be with us yet. Lest we forget. Lest we forget.” ROBERT WEBB. LOVE My heart was once a red-covered book Whose title page was clean. But with your looks, and with your words.

SUNDREAMS Over the slope to the river. I run through billowy grass. Where the vain violet and sycamore Gaze at themselves in the glass. The sun is hot on my neck As I lie on the soft, dry grass. Where the shadowy net of the green leaves Is torn to let sunbeams pass. I drink the air like a syrup, Soft, and heavy, and sweet; I fdel the tender caresses. When the breeze and the sunbeams meet. Thinking, and dreaming, and drowsing, My castles fade with the foam, Where the river flows on to the riffle. And passes like hair through a comb. JULIA PORTER RAY.
