Sharon High School - Mirror Yearbook (Sharon, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 172 of the 1928 volume:

The Mirror 1928 - DEDICATION The Mirror Annual of 1928 is dedicated to one who has not only won recognition as a coach of great ability, but has won the admiration of all who know him as a teacher or a friend, MR. A. W. DICKERSON vr Classes J rtKiittrs tljlrtics ■ a? FOREWORD The members of the Staft have tried this year to produce an Annual that will please the subscribers and at the same time be a true reflection of Sharon High School. If this year book satisfies an immediate desire for a review of the past school year, and if in years to come it brings any joy by recalling with its pictures and words the pleasant experiences and friendships of High School days, then the Staff may consider worthwhile the work done in creating the Mirror Annual of 1928. 'ET � • • O (£d • $5) O • o • $ o Administration Department The duties and problems which devolve upon the Administrative Department of a large school are many and varied. Unless considerable time and thought are given to planning and organizing, much aimless and ineffectual work may be done. Like generals, planning for a battle, so must the faculty devise, as it were, the plan of attack for the school. One of our objectives is to offer a curriculum of different courses so that the students may prepare for college, or prepare to go directly into an active world of various vocations. Here we face the task of meeting the college entrance requirements, the requirements of the State Department of Education, and the immediate and practical requirements of the vocations of our community into which a majority of students enter immediately after or before graduation. It is, therefore, our purpose to teach the student to master the different subjects in the course which he chooses, so that he may use them as tools in carrying out a life of usefulness for himself and his fellows. We plan to give students a knowledge of the world’s principal vocations, showing their requirements and their returns, thus helping them to make a wise choice of their life’s work. We aim also to give an appreciation of our inheritance of a great government which our forefathers wrought out in toil and sacrifice. Here we may learn the functions, the problems, and the needs of our government and thus be able to understand and practice good citizenship. To develop cooperation and the art of self government, we encourage student participation in the management of the school. Here we would insert a word of appreciation for the fine and helpful attitude of our student body. The selection of texts which effectively fit into our courses in point of content and time is a difficult and important problem. A text may be an efficient and pleasant guide or may be the cause of educational indigestion. Hut more important than the selection of texts is the selection of the faculty. Blessed is the school whose faculty is made up of able, well trained, healthy men and women, who understand boys and girls and who mainly count their gain in the joy that comes from seeing young folks develop into the finest possible types of men and women. Here in the faculty lies the power, the light, and the life of the school. There are a multitude of details such as record keeping, the promotion of cultural and practical projects, school publicity, health promotion, and development and maintenance of the school’s physical equipment, but our page has room for only one more major aim, and that is the development of a fine school morale. A desirable school morale is the something that makes our hearts sing a warm song of loyalty to our organization, that makes us take pride in raising our standards to higher levels, that fills us with a spirit of helpfulness and cooperation, that makes us unconsciously thoughtful and courteous toward all, that banishes petty fault-finding, black gossip, selfishness and low desires, and that inspires us in all we do as individuals or as a group, to do with an efficiency and with a dignity that is uplifting.

REANEY 0 § a MISS FLEMING MISS BROWN MISS MADDEN MISS BOYD © 0 O O 0 0 0 English Department When the pupil enters High School, he is equipped with the simple English fundamentals which he has acquired through the lower grades. In the Eighth Grade a review of these fundamentals is given. Here the teachers impress upon the minds of their pupils the importance and practice of speaking and writing good English. The pupil must now further th's knowledge, not through memorizing rules, hut through a practical method. When he enters the Freshman class he learns different me.hods of dealing with the difficulties of grammar, but still has his book of rules which now he may call a handbook. Through the study of such books as “The Merchant of Venice,” “The Sketch Book” and “Ivanhoe,” and through oral and written original productions he puts into practice what he has learned. Here more emphasis perhaps is placed upon the original composition than upon anything else. The Sophomore, more accustomed by this time to High School requirements, pursues his advancement in the study of English by studying types of characters. To this end he is encouraged through the authors, Scott, Elliot, and Shakespeare. In the Sophomore year too, is stressed the review of rules. The book report here as well as in other classes is an important part of the work. The Junior English class enters a world of still greater interest. The study of the classics is contrasted with the work of modern writers. Unlike former years the Junior year is almost purely literary, and it takes up the study of American writers. It is in the Junior and Senior years that the most emphasis is placed upon originality. Original familiar essays both for class and “Mirror” production form as much instruction as the text-book. The Senior year is also devoted to literary work chiefly. The student, while studying the beginning and progress of literature, must try his own hand at writing sonnets, lyrics, ballads, and essays. Milton, Shakespeare, Tennyson, and Jonson serve as fitting examples for this work. After the completion of such an English course the student ought to be well equipped for whatever he may do in the future. Elizabeth McMullen Thiel College, A.B. Columbia University, M.A. Eng.

A 0 As we ponder half-heartedly over a text-book assignment, the thought occurs to 0 us that here is a splendid opportunity for us to become acquainted with the world and with its people. Every day we marvel at the modern, well-arranged systems • of political and social life, and we thrill with a feeling of superiority over our • forefathers with their apparently crude customs. Yet, in order for us to fully ! understand these modern conditions, and in order to do justice to those who have A made it possible, it is necessary for us to turn back the pages of Time, and follow A the progress of man through the ages. The present plan of history in Sharon V High School is admirably suited to this purpose, giving the student a complete. • unbroken course in world progress, from the very beginning down to the • I • present day. • • Civics in the Eighth Grade tends to impress upon the student his responsi- • bility of citizenship. Ancient History for Freshmen is a story of the wondrous development of man since the tine of the earliest written record. Vocational Civics teaches the student how to make the proper use of leisure time and how to develop char- acter and citizenship. In ike Sophomore year, Modern History cultivates the idea of orderly ad- vancement and it helps one to understand the present. In the Junior vear, the student studies American History in order that he • | may more readily become acquainted with the institutions and complexities of his • own country. Through the study of the potential problems in the development A of his country, the student realizes the great responsibility of citizenship that is his. 0 In the Senior year, Problems of Democracy completes the history course. This may be divided into three parts, of which one-third is Political Science, the f science of citizenship; one-third Sociology, the science of living with one another; 4 and one-third Economics, the science of getting and expending wealth.

To him it is a subject that is dull and uninteresting and he studies it only to meet the re- o V § quirements of his course. To his imaginative sense only the spectacular things of life appeal. Aviation, progress in electricity, and new designs in machinery are all matters of far greater importance to him. Yet, if he were to study these A things with a little greater care and interest he would find that they are all di- A 0 rectly the results of mathematical progress. The designing of the engine that pulled Lindbergh across the ocean was based on mathematics. That floating palace, the Leviathan, would never have been built were it not for the mathematical genius of a few men who spent years in trying to bring about a revolution 6 • from the old, weary modes of sea travel. The Twentieth Century locomotives, the fast motor coaches that link together nearly all the cities in the country, our • modern home appliances, and practically everything else that we have today are results of a slow, steady growth of mathematics that has taken place over many • centuries. The history of mathematics dates back to the earliest ages of civilization. Written records have been found in Egypt which show that the people of that country, as early as the latter part of the third millenium B. C. had a wide knowledge of the subject. The Babylonians later, and the Greeks about the year 600 B.C. also made extensive use of mathematics, especially of arithmetic and geometry. The Romans, while contributing little to mathematics itself, never- theless were instrumental in developing the science of surveying. • During the past term there has been nothing special to mark the season for • the Mathematics Department. Each class has carried out practically the same • schedule every day throughout the year, and, owing to the fact that no calls have arisen, there have been no mathematics clubs or other social activities of the A 0 mathematics classes. V Among the seven hundred and twenty-five mathematics students in Sharon t W High School, eighty-one have taken Arithmetic; three hundred and forty-five Algebra I; one hundred and sixty. Plane Geometry; eighty-two, Solid Geometry; and fifty-eight, Algebra II. k A Irene Williamson—Ohio State University, A.B., M.A.—Plane Geometry. Solid Geometry, 0 V Algebra II. David L.

Sharon High is very fortunate in having numerous special departments and capable directors. The following articles have been written by the various members of the special departments in order to present to the readers the true aims of each department. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The aim of boys’ physical education is to give the boys a general idea of the types of exercise needed to bring out those muscles which our daily life fails to exercise properly. In order to accomplish this, this department in the absence of any modern equipment has used free hand drills and different types of games. In the fall the periods begin with calesthenics, with the latter part of the period devoted to games of the active type. In the winter months the periods are given over entirely to basketball, teaching fundamentals, rules, and team play. Each class is organized into teams forming a total of over 100 teams which engage in a Round Robin tournament. During the early spring, the classes are devoted to mat work and tumbling, and later in the spring games are played. This program seems to give as near the results we wish to accomplish, as can be attained with the limited time and limited equipment. R. B. McCandless, Nebraska Wesleyan, A.B. The program of the Girls’ Physical Education Department is similar to that of the boys’. Much time is devoted to games, both of the organized and unorganized types. During the year the girls play field ball, basketball, and baseball, all of which teach self-sacrifice, courage, and fair play. Time is devoted to folk dancing, which creates a sense of rhythm, and promotes grace and litheness in the body carriage of the student. A gymnasium Activities period was established for those who wanted to participate in extra-curricular athletic events which included basketball, baseball and other gymnasium activities. Agnes M. Funn, Sargent University. HEALTH DEPARTMENT Sharon is very fortunate in having one of the finest health rooms in the state. Here routine medical inspection is carried on by Dr. H. G. Lafferty. The duties of the School Nurse are to assist the doctor in medical inspection, take care of records and the follow-up work, trying to have all the defects corrected. One grade school is visited daily where individual or class room inspections are made. The School Nurse endeavors in every way to bring about cooperation between the school and the home.

It is the hope of the department that the time is not very far distant when Home Economics will be a course in itself, and will be regarded of equal value with the other courses offered in the High School curriculum. The cookery classes extend over two years with one recitation weekly. In that time the different kinds of food with their value to life, various types of cooking, discussions on meal planning, table service, and food costs are taken up. Special encouragement is given to home practice. Hygiene with direct application to cooking and cleaning is emphasized. The whole trend of the subject is tc keep alive in the girls the old-fashioned ideals of home making, combined with the present day methods and opportunities. Grace Ecci.es, Rochester Mechanics Institute, Cooking. The work done in sewing is necessarily very elementary due to the small amount of time which is available. The Eighth Grade classes first learn to make fundamental stitches, seams, and hems. The use of the sewing machine, neatness in construction of plain garments, as well as some knowledge of patterns and garment fitting comprise the remainder of this course. The Freshmen, who so elect, learn more about the use of commercial patterns, as to fitting, alteration, and laying on material. Then construction and fitting of wearing apparel is taken up. which is more complicated in design than that done by the Eighth Grade classes. Esther Weir, Ohio University, B.S., Sewing. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Music Department includes the Band, Orchestra, and Chorus. This department helps the members of these organizations to make good use of their leisure hours, and to acquire membership in other music organizations. The rest of the school, as listeners, also gain a fuller appreciation of music through the Music Department. The Orchestra furnishes music for the assemblies, and athletic events are made more attractive and inspiring by the presence of the Band. These various departments of the Music Department are called on frequently to furnish music for different affairs in the community. David Rees, Glamorgan School of Music, Wales. LIBRARY The library is ideally located on the second floor in the front of the High School building. It houses a special collection of books, magazines, and indexes for reference work, for pleasure reading, and for outside interests. The library uses the Dewey Decimal system of classification with the card-catalog. The charging is known as the Newark system and is used frequently in school libraries. O 25 = o O CD • O 0 © a 0 The library is visited daily by several hundred students. The average circulation is estimated to be 110 books daily. The record for this school year was reached on January 3, when 271 books were given out. Grace McClEnahan, Librarian. ART DEPARTMENT 0 The work offered by the Art Department is varied. It includes lettering, poster making, nature drawing, designing, picture study, figure drawing, and handicrafts. In working out problems, pencils, pens and ink, water colors, and cut paper are used. The class members make their books for picture study, binding the pages, dyeing the lining papers, and lettering the covers. The collection of pictures in the books includes famous examples of landscapes, portraits and figure compositions. The posters made by the Art students have ranged from small designs used in the High School building, to window cards advertising lectures and concerts. The Art Department competes in the Carnegie Safety Contest, and last year nine Sharon High students won prizes in the contest. Elizabeth Sykes, Allegheny College, A.B. 0 4 0 0 0 MECHANICAL DRAW ING DEPARTMENT The progress of the Mechanical Drawing Department is evident through the increased enrollment from 45 students last year, to 175 students this year. In 1926-27 only three periods were required, but in 1927-28 the entire seven periods were necessary to accommodate the pupils wishing to take Mechanical Drawing. The object of this department is to prepare the students for positions immediately upon graduation, so that they may follow engineering. This is accomplished through practical problems in perspective, isometric, and orthographic drawing. Great interest has been shown bv the students in making detail and assembly drawings of the complete Dodge motor, which was generously loaned to the department by the Foster Brothers. Norman Morrell, Carnegie Tech, B.S. MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT According to common belief a Manual Training Department in High School exists for two reasons: to provide an opportunity for learning to make furniture, and to teach the use of woodworking tools. But there are many other aims in the mind of a Manual Training instructor. The boy must learn to be accurate, or he fails to turn out a desirable product. His work shows and develops such qualities as neatness, perseverance, and self-reliance. In short the Manual Training Department provides a meeting ground for the two factors which must be balanced in the well-rounded life, the artistic and the practical. Howard Gilmore.

MARKS Science Department Science is a primary factor which instructs and enables one to understand the world in which he lives. For those who do not intend seeking higher education after leaving High School, General Science is taught to give a general” idea of the basic principles of biology, chemistry, and physics. OAs biology is the field of observation, it is a source of our ideas. Studying it, one finds objects for comparison, material for exercise of memory, and data for the formation of judgments. This work will stimulate many to observe the plants and animals as living things. One of our instructors states that although many people may employ simple chemistry processes such as baking bread and burning coal, they do not comprehend why bread rises or where the weight of coal disappears. In chemistry, the instructor endeavors to explain to his pupils just such things. Physics treats with the related phenomena of matter and energy. Many things are taught to the pursuers of this subject which will be of benefit to them in the present and later life. Experiments are made and the pupil, who while learning new things, is thoroughly enjoying interesting things. Then, too, numbers are encouraged to go beyond the limits of the sciences related above, into special fields. Stanley W. Currier—-General Science—Grove City College, B.S. lames R.

Latin, the basis of our own as well as many other modern languages, is well known and appreciated by Sharon High students, as there are a great number enrolled in the course. Miss Giblwms teaches first year Latin, Miss Saeger and Miss Forrest have charge of Caesar, while Mr. Raney has Cicero and Virgil. Latin is an invaluable aid to English and modern language students; while, of course, to students of science, it is indispensable. The second most popular foreign language in Sharon High is French. This department is in the capable hands of Miss McBride. In addition to her first and second year classes, Miss McBride also teaches a third year class this year. Miss McBride believes that the surest way to know a country and its people is to be able to speak and write its language. Aside from the cultural value of French, it has a practical value, for French expressions are coming more and more into usage in the English. Miss Forrest has charge of the Spanish Department. Aside from its cultural value a knowledge of Spanish is imt ortant in the commercial world. O. W. Raney—Westminster College, A.M.; Ohio Normal University, B.S.—Latin III-IV.

The predominating idea in its organization was service—to the business world and to the rest of the school. Measured in the light of results, the Department has been successful. A survey shows that practically all the graduates of this department are employed; several hold responsible positions. The Commercial Department has endeavored to keep in view the idea of service to the rest of the school; not to be an isolated department, but one which cooperates and is a real part of Sharon High. Each year sees more and more students enrolled in the Commercial Department. Approximately forty per cent of this year’s graduating class are commercial students, the majority of whom have taken straight commercial work for four years. Many academic students take one or more commercial subjects, such as Economics. Salesmanship, or Typewriting. In the annual State Commercial Contest at Indiana, last year. Sharon High won first places in Free-for-AU Bookkeeping and in Rapid Calculation. Charles R Dubbs State Teachers College. Indiana. Fa. Margaret A Giegerich State Teachers College. Indiana.

And cabbages and kings. There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare, and the Hatter were having tea; the Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using him as a cushion, resting their elbows on him and talking over his head. “Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse,” thought Alice, “only since he’s asleep, I suppose he doesn’t mind.” The Dormouse had awakened; they were asking riddles. Great discussions over the answers were being held. Alice was bored. She sighed wearily. “I think you might do something better with the time,” she said, “than to waste it in asking riddles that have no answers.” The Mad-Hatter grew excited when Alice had ended her complaint. “I know,” he said, “I know, the Dormouse shall tell us his story. An account of time well spent.” The Dormouse stirred. “Your story, Alice wants to hear your story,” he shouted in a deafening tone at the dazed Dormouse. Alice was about to protest and declare that she did not care to listen to the Dormouse’s recital, but the Dormouse had without any more persuasion begun this narrative. “It is a tale about a school,” he said. Alice groaned inwardly. She positively hated school. “A High School,” added the March-Hare. The Dormouse looked at him rather disdainfully but said nothing. Alice brightened. “A High School sounds more interesting,” she declared. She had never attended one. “I lived in this school,” the Dormouse continued. “How disgusting,” Alice again interrupted. “But this school had a cafeteria,” the Hatter hurried to assure her. “Yes, and it was a large cafeteria. I made it my permanent residence. In fact I began my experience in the cafeteria. “One day as I grew larger I heard a great clattering noise. Venturing from my hiding place, what did I see but hundreds of pupils with trays tilled with tempting foods. “Finally they all disappeared and I resolved to find out where they had gone. Creeping silently up the back stairs I met another mouse. I told him of my resolution and he said that he was particularly interested in the members of the class O 425) o - - o a -($ o • of “28” who were graduating that year. He offered to go with me. First we journeyed to the gym where the boys were practicing basketball. He pointed out to me two outstanding players who belonged to the class of “28,” Joe Conlon and Russell Polonus. • 0 “The mouse said that the boys weren’t the only ones in the class of “28” that were interested in basketball, but that the girls were well represented in Helen Wise.” 0 0 Here the Mad-Hatter piped up and said. “Don’t forget Ethel Stambaugh, Frances Christianson, Lois Shook and Mary Elizabeth Myers.” 0 The Dormouse then took up the tale after this rude but worthy interruption. “There were Alice DeVore and Isabelle Lucas, too.” $ A “They were quite athletic, weren't they?” added Alice wonderingly. A 0 “Yes,” said the Dormouse, “my friend, the mouse, told me there were many football stars—Walsh, Conlon, Koutman, Joyce, Snodgrass, Polonus, Cornwell. • The Dormouse yawned. His head fell with a thud on the saucer, the Mad-Hatter and the March-Hare pounded him vigorously. The Dormouse slowly opened his eyes. “I wasn’t asleep,” he said in a hoarse, feeble voice, “Where did I leave off?” “Didn’t they have anything but athletics in that school.'' asked Alice, helping herself to some tea and bread and butter. The Dormouse went to sleep again, but on being pinched by the Hatter, woke up again with a little shriek, and went on. “Of course the mouse read me off a long list of names of those who were inclined to be musical and literary; Florence Craig. Helen Popadak, Martha Wilson. Alberta McCotter, Gladvs Baker. Janet Feder, Mary Jane Stephenson, Robert Perkins, Lewis Perkins, Sam Nathan, Paul Gamble, Allan Roberts, Walter Palmer, Thomas O’Brien, and Ed. Hyde. • • A “They made a good beginning, that class of ‘28.’ ” added the Dormouse slowly. “When they were Freshmen, the rest of the school realized that a group of unusual students had begun their career in Sharon High. And they kept up their reputation when they were Sophomores, stepping ahead rapidly. As Juniors they gained more confidence in themselves and came to the front in Intercholastic contests, and Athletic feats. Several Commercial students won state honors in a Commercial contest at Indiana State Normal.” • • 0 V The Dormouse was asleep once more. Alice poured some tea for the Hatter. “That is a story of time well spent,” she announced contemplatively. 0 0 “Of course,” the March-Hare declared, spilling his tea on the Dormouse. “You didn’t think that it wouldn’t be did you?” “No,” said Alice dreamily. 0 The Hatter and the Hare began to argue in an inconsistent manner. Alice paid no attention to them. Her thoughts were afar off. They were ambitious, the members of the class graduating in 1928,” she murmured. 0 • “They were workers and climbers,” and upon looking for the speaker. Alice discovered the Rabbit. It was time to go. So stumbling along beside him she heard more of the achievements of the Sharon High School Seniors of 1928. • Mary Jane Stephenson, ’28.

Our class of ’29 this time. In looking hack over the days when High School was new to him, the now advanced “twenty-niner” recalls with a superior smile of amusement, the trials of his Freshman year. One typical scene comes to his memory. It is the very last period on Friday in Room 107. One little boy. exhausted by the strenuous schedule of the day, is struggling (lint not so hard as he might) to overcome a drowsiness which is stealing upon him. Soon, reality no longer exists for him. and the scene passing through his mind might he called a nightmare in daytime. At least it is a somewhat troubled dream. A big cave man of the Stone Age with a heavy wooden club upraised is pointing a menacing finger at the confused dreamer, shouting with the force of a deep, resounding voice, “X plus Y minus Z equals what ? Tempus fuget!” At this point a bell rings, and the boy jumps up. awakened with a jerk from a frightful, yet strangely realistic dream. The Sophomore has overcome all these obstacles and is ready for worse ones. He finds them in Room 312. About this time he is engulfed in a bewildering muddle of “Thanatopsis” and “English Booklets,” of “how Caesar venit, vidit, et vicit,” and “how the Ancient Mariner stopped One of Three.” The memories of these things bring to mind a sort of pleasurable feeling in having passed over such difficulties in safety when he becomes a Junior. To be a Junior—what a thrill! With all the foundation of the past years to stand upon, the “twenty-niner” ought to be able to get along very well in this higher position. “Senatus Populus que Romanus,” “Literature and Life and perhaps some “Parleyvooing” featuring Remi and Mere Rarbein—all these have their places. And again— -English notebooks! But even this doe - not discourage the persevering Junior. Remember how the whole school, even the Seniors, envied us when after many false alarms, the rumor, “class rings are here, was proved to l e really true! Three years of work and play, the latter being the pleasure we get out of the so-called “by-products” of the school curriculum, have passed. One year yet to come, when we, the sophisticated Seniors, tackle the last quarter of the struggle for knowledge, and then the “twenty-niners will have received their High School education. Third down and one to go! Patricia Dann, ’29. • O CD • 35 O M UYTL-E • Q (fo O • • Sophomore History Bombay, India, is a romantic, old-fashioned city. Its market-place is a regular bazar, with merchants sitting on the floors of their little shanties with goods displayed before them. Oracles are also found at every turn, and it was to one of them that I hied myself on my first visit to that city. Naturally I chose one that spoke English. She was a wrinkled old hag, dressed in voluminous skirts and shawls with bright-colored bits of calico here and there. In a thin, high voice she asked me if 1 desired to be informed about the future or the past, i decided in favor of the past as I had a bright idea. “Tell me about my High School years.” “One year, one pi,” she informed me. I told her to make it my Sophomore year. “Ah, yes, Sophomore, second year,” she said. “Tell me about the achievements of the whole class,” I reminded her, determined to get the worth of my pi. “Well, the year was 1927—no, part of '27 and part 1928.” I agreed. “Your class did pretty well that year.” I agreed again. She studied her globe intently. There were some of you on the Literary and Musical teams. Let me see, Jane Chester, Eugene McMillan, Maurice Amon, and Franklin Webb. I believe there were some Sophomore alternates, too. “Then a Sophomore won a prize in the Mirror Day Contest. “There were also some of that class on the Football Team: Paul Burns, Arvid Biggin, Jim Murphy, and Anthony Ferrario. “Bud Laycock, Carl Deems, Norbert Flaherty, and Jim Murphy, and Burns, were basketball players. “And then Track, wait a minute, no, 1 can’t get it. That’s all, give me your rupee.” “Tell me about Track of the previous year then,” I insisted. She chuckled. “That’s easy, you were Freshmen then and there was just one, Arvid Biggin. Give me your rupee.” “But you said before it was one pi.” “Give me your rupee.” “Two pi.” “Give me my rupee.” I gave her her rupee, and left.

It seemed to share in the general amusement at our excitement over the event of our lives—our entrance to Sharon High. But who wouldn’t be excited? Sharon High! The mere name was music to our ears and promised marvelous experiences and adventures. Arriving at the school and reinforced by oilier Eighth Graders, we timidly filed into the auditorium among the surer and bolder Freshmen. But strange to say, even these veterans of one year could be impressed, for suddenly, all talking ceased. A man had stepped upon the stage. He was the principal, Mr. Jones. After a few remarks he proceeded to assign us to our rooms in the northern part of the building. To our great disappointment we were separated from our friends and placed with total strangers. But one must make friends and it was not difficult to like our new associates. In a short time we were working busily together to make this the greatest year of our lives. To make the class of ’32 a credit to Sharon High became the aim of all Eighth Graders. In our efforts to attain our goal we struggled valiantly with our daily assignments in English, History, Civics, Arithmetic, Music, and Spelling. This routine was broken, however, by Art. Domestic Science, Manual Training, and Gymnasium. What delicious candy, muffins, cakes, and pies the girls made in the cooking period, and what lovely pillows our clever seamstresses made in the sewing class! In the Manual Training class the boys, too, showed their skill in making shoe boxes, book racks, and plant stands. What thrilling times we had in the Gym period! How excited the girls became in dodge ball, basketball, and running relays! What fun the boys had in their rough and tumble games! Many entertainments also enlivened our school year. The Eighth Grade musical programs, including vocal and instrumental numbers, were greatly enjoyed, and our occasional plays and pageants never failed to please the audiences. The High School assemblies, to which we were sometimes invited, were delightful and served as models for our own dramatic efforts. Thus time sped pleasantly by and before we knew it. May was here with its bright blue sky. Even our attractive school became rather monotonous. For who could stay in school when flowers were in bloom and birds •were singing merrily? And this was the month of the final examinations. With a sigh of relief we handed in the last test paper and awaited the fifth of June. Leaving our class rooms on that final day, we noticed that the warm sun seemed to smile again at us, as on that first day in September. It seemed most pleased with our progress, for now we were no longer green Eighth Graders, but full-fledged Freshmen. Lolmsr M. Frrrario.

Here the French students gain a better knowledge of French and of the people whose language they are studying. At the meetings this year various little French dialogues and plays were presented. Among the dialogues were Fontaine’s Fable “Le Lion et le Rat,” “Le Cureier,” “Un Bureau de Telegraph” and scenes from “Le Pondre Aux Yeux.” In connection with this man}' national and French folk songs were sung by the club. Aside from the programs, the club endeavors to provide worthwhile amusements for leisure time. One of the most outstanding entertainments this year was the Halloween party given on October 28. The gym was decorated with orange and black in such a way as to add real atmosphere to the occasion. Here clowns, farmers, old ladies, gay Pierrots, ghosts, babies and peasants made merry, contesting with each other, matching “brain and brawn.” They ended the evening with doughnuts, cider and the chant of eerie witches. To celebrate the holiday season a Christmas play and folk dance were presented by certain members of “Le Cercle Francais.” The play was “Christmas in France during the World War,” by Marjorie Towbridge. It was enthusiastically given and just as enthusiastically received. After the play, the club members all assembled in the cafeteria for a social hour and refreshments. It has always been a tradition for the club to present, during the year, something of use to the school. 'Phis year the members decided to buy Plane trees to plant in front of the school along Case Avenue. This project added much interest to the club life. In order to secure funds “Le Cercle Francais” had candy sales at several basketball and football games. They increased this fund with their monthly dues. So once more as Commencement comes and “Le Cercle Francais” ends its scholastic year the members look back and feel their march has been successful. The departing Seniors thank Miss Anna McBride who has helped to make the club interesting for them. And the new Seniors hope that the next march of “Le Cercle Francais” will be even more outstanding. 9 0 ? 0 THE LATIN CLUBS Secretarius—Gladys Baker Praetor—Edward H vde Cantor—Christian Wyant Pontitex—Harry Thomson William Noce Censors—Helen Wise and Walter Palmer JUNIOR CLUB OFFICERS Dictator—Eleanor Sowers Quaestor—Peter Moyer Cantor—Jane Chester Praetor—Frederick Allen Secretarius—Alice Benbow FACULTY SPONSORS Miss Gibbons Latin Clubs Because of the large number of students eligible for membership in the Latin Club, the Junior Latin Club was organized in 1926-27. Those Latin students who have an average of 85 per cent or over are eligible for membership. The Latin Clubs have been organized to give the Latin students an opportunity to obtain a greater knowledge of Latin and to increase a desire for classical learning. The meetings are held in the auditorium on Wednesday of the fourth week of each month. “Harper’s Dictionary of Classical Literature and Antiquities,” “Vocabulary of High School Latin,” “Julius Caesar,” “Elementary Latin Dictionary,” and “A Roman Legacy” have been purchased for the library by the Latin Clubs. The Senior Latin Club for the year 1927-28 had almost one hundred members, 90 per cent of them honor students in the Latin Department. One feature of the club work for this year was the completion of a great amount of extracurricular work planned mostly in preparation for college entrance. Another feature was the selection of a Junior and a Senior student to represent Sharon High School at the annual Latin Contest to be held at Schenley High School. Pittsburgh, where each year over forty Latin clubs send their delegates. The Latin Club this year translated and dramatized “Orpheus and Eurydice.” a play taken from the poems of Ovid. The main characters were portrayed by Joe Merrick. Phyllis Caldwell, Samuel Nathan, Christian Wyant, Mary Garrick. Herschel Rickert, and Reriah Robbins, and twenty-five other Seniors in minor roles. 0 g THE SCIENCE CLUB President----------=__________________________ Russel Polonus Vice President...............................

Mr. Marks 0 0 o • • • o • o 0 § a 0 © Science Club Our Science Club was formed at the end of the first semester of last year. Before that time the Biology Club was the only club devoted to science. This organization was attended by the students of biology only. At one of their first meetings of last year. Mr. Kirshner, instructor of chemistry, gave a talk and expressed his desire to have a new club formed in which all science students would he eligible as members. The biology pupils voted on the suggestion and decided to dissolve their club and join the proposed Science Club. So this club, comparatively new, has become the largest organization of Sharon High School. And now, not only biology students, but anyone interested in science and taking any of the three sciences offered by this school is eligible for membership. Mr. Kirshner, Mr. Dickerson and Mr. Marks have sponsored this new organization. Through their earnest endeavors and suggestions, the club is now considered not only one of the most important, but one of the most active clubs in the school. This year the meetings have been held every third Wednesday of each month during Activities period. The members have met in the auditorium in order to accommodate the large number present. The aim of the club is to bring into closer relationship the three Science Departments. To do this the programs have been so arranged as to be both interesting and instructive and a selection of the topics has been so arranged as to give to each member some knowledge concerning that particular science in which he is interested. Even- program has—as one of its numbers—a selection dealing with each different science taught in High School. A biology student may give a talk on “The Fast Disappearing Evergreen Trees of the United States.” A physics student will perhaps prepare a topic concerning aviation, while a chemistry student offers one directly related to chemistry such as “The Use of Coal and Its By-Products.” Then, too, a piano solo and a vocal selection are usually offered. In this manner each scientific pursuer is taught something and at the same time is entertained. 0 $ 0 0 ? The Band 0 0 0 0 w 0 The past school year has been a very important one for the members of the High School Band. Besides playing for the football and basketball games at home, they have furnished music for all rallies in the gymnasium. Not in school affairs alone have the members of this organization been active, but in outside affairs as well. They played for the Odd Fellows’ indoor circus held for the benefit of the Odd Fellows’ Orphanage, and for the Flag Day exercises sponsored by the Elks’ Club. They also won first prize for the largest group in the Hallowe’en parade. The Band consists of forty-five members this year, only seven of which are of the graduating class. This points to the fact that Sharon High will have one of the best bands next year that it has ever had. 0 t e, 0 THE MEMBERS TRUMPETS: Harmon Rice, Floyd Billig, Edmund Zappa, Maurice Amon, Arthur Sheddon, Franklin Hart, Johnston Osbourne, Kenneth Brest, Philip Diehl, John Hoffman, Henry Lauer, Joseph Cerbus.

The year has been a very progressive and profitable one. Besides playing for all assemblies, the orchestra furnished the music for the Interscholastic contests, for the three one-act plays given in February, for the Minstrel Show, and for the Annual School Concert in May. Outside of our own school it has furnished the music for two banquets in connection with the Community Chest Drive, played at the Buhl Hospital, and entertained at a banquet for the Medical Association of Mercer County.

Harmon Rice ..Paul Gamble Leroy Donahue O O The Chorus The Chorus work this year has been very enjoyable and as a result, a large number have attended the practices. There was a membership of practically one hundred and fifty, consisting of students from each class. During the past year the Chorus met both on Monday mornings at the regular periods and during the Activities period on Wednesday. The Chorus of the Activities period was organized into the Beethoven Club. Officers were elected and the meetings were then conducted in regular club fashion. Before practice was begun, a short program of five or six numbers was given. On Thursday, February sixteenth, the Chorus presented a most entertaining Minstrel in the High School Auditorium. Altogether about two hundred students took part in it. The girls in the Chorus were dressed as sailors and carried out their parts very well. The end men, Edward Hyde, Harold Lytle, Paul Gamble, and Trevor Thomas, were comically attired in black and white striped suits with red vests and big bow ties. They imitated colored men most realistically and greatly amused the audience with their jokes. William Aiken served very capably as interlocutor. After the opening chorus several solos were given. Helen Popadak sang. Are You Lonesome Tonight”; Edward Hyde, ‘‘Henry’s Made a Lady Out of Lizzie”; Eleanor McFarland, “Charmaine”; Norma Sperry, “Diane”; Trevor Thomas, “Clementine”; Florence Craig, “Russian Lullaby”; Paul Gamble, “Miss Annabelle Lee”; and Harold Lytle, “Stay Out of the South.” A special feature was a toe-dance given by Mary Jane Girdwood while the chorus of “Charmaine” was sung. A trio composed of Helen Popadak. Florence Craig, and Helen Thomas, a trombone solo by Charles Graves, several ukelele selections played by High School girls, a saxophone solo by Charles Otte. a clarinet solo by Floyd Billig, and a tap-dance by Isabel Brown were all very much enjoyed. A Dutch and an Irish dance by children from the Grade Schools were well received by the audience and the skits and songs given by Trevor Thomas and Harold Lytle were very interesting numbers. The orchestra entertained with “II Travatore” and a “Medley of Old Time Songs.” The grand finale was given by Jane Chester, who sang “The Big Tin Pan Parade.” The entire program was a very enjoyable one as are all Mr. Rees’s entertainments. On March fifth, sixth, and seventh, a part of the minstrel was presented at the Columbia Theatre in place of the regular vaudeville. It was attended by large crowds. The sixteenth of March the Chorus presented a concert in Greenfield. We all hope that the Choruses of the years to come will be as successful as those of these past few years.

Eighty-thrte Junior Chamber of Commerce The Junior Chamber of Commerce was organized to acquaint commercial students with modern business organization and methods, and to create a social atmosphere. The club has accomplished quite a few things worthy of note. It has published a paper called “The Junior Business World.” By means of the Exchange Department of this paper, the Commercial Department of Sharon High has got in touch with commercial organizations in other schools. In addition, the Junior Chamber of Commerce this year inaugurated a thrift campaign in an effort to raise the standard of banking in Sharon High. It has also taken charge of publicity work in various events. East fall, a number of the girls in the club helped with the work of the Community Chest Fund drive. The membership of the Junior Chamber of Commerce is composed of Senior commercial students, and those Junior students who have obtained their typewriting certificates. The club met during Activities Period on the last Wednesday of every month, at which time a program was given. The following officers have had charge of the club this year: President :-----------------------------------------------Lawanda Shotts Vice President ...........................................Hayden Davis Secretary----------------------------------- .

Its purpose is to stimulate interest in the study of the Spanish language, to teach more about the Spanish speaking countries, and to furnish a means of extra-curricular activity. At the first meeting of the club this year officers were elected, and the constitution was revised. The programs were always interesting, as well as educational. They consisted of sketches of historical places in Spain, Spanish music, short dramatizations, and talks on the lives of famous Spaniards. In the meetings, Spanish was spoken as much as was possible in order that the members might become more proficient in the use of the language. No restrictions were made for membership, and there were no dues.

The promotion of friendliness is the principal motive of the club. Two meetings are held each month. The business meeting is held once a month, on I uesday evening after school. Some very helpful, as well as entertaining programs arc given. The second meeting is a social affair. Some of the most delightful parties of the year arc those given by the T. M. T. M. girls. The little girls, who. with their dolls, attended “The Kid Party” and enjoyed once again all the pleasures of childhood, had to forget their childish fancies in order that they might attend another party, an “Old Maids’ and Bachelors' Ball.” Old Maids and Bachelors from Sharpsvillc, Farrell, West Middlesex, and Hickory High Schools were present to make this ball a very enjoyable affair. The Junior and Sophomore girls, the teachers and mothers were all entertained at equally attractive parties. But the T. M. T. M. girls have thoughts for other things besides good times. The club assumes its share of school responsibilities. Some of the school expenses are met with the money made at the T. M. T. M. candy sales held at every basketball game. The Check Room is also capably handled by the girls under the direction of Miss Saeger. The succes and popularity of T. M. T. M. is due largely to the sponsors. Miss Saeger and Mrs. Roberts.

This club was organized for the purpose of helping students to become more versatile in speaking, reading, and writing. The number of its members who have participated in the Musical and Literary Contests shows just how successful it has been. Since the membership had become greatly diminished through the graduation of last year’s Senior class, the club started an intensive membership drive this year. As a result, over thirty new members were initiated at a delightful party held in Room 107, January 26. Under the guidance of the faculty adviser, Mr. J. I. Reaney, the Spe-Re-Wri has experienced an especially successful year. We express our sincere wish for the club’s continued success in the future. President ...................................

A boy. and a girl monitor chosen from each period of the day, act on the committee, whose duty it is to perform the tasks which tend to keep order in the school, and cannot be handled by the larger group. Meetings of the committee are held once every two weeks in Room 105. The committee acts as a court for the cases of misbehavior reported by the regular monitors, and as a legislative body in making the rules for conduct in the hallways. The committee also assumes the responsibility of a student council and acts on many affairs other than mere corridor disturbances. When a group of Sharon High students got into trouble in Greenville, it was the Executive Committee that decided that Sharon High owed Greenville High an apology, and members of the committee went to Greenville to explain. This is the first year of existence for the Executive Committee, but its work has been performed in such an efficient way, that this form of student government is quite sure to become a permanent fixture in Sharon High School.

Even though the Yellow Jackets seemed to have material they were never able to hit their stride, and as a result only three of the nine games were chalked up on the right side of the ledger. The season was opened at W arren, Ohio, as part of the dedication ceremonies of the new Warren G. Harding stadium. In this game the team worked well, and the fans predicted a very successful season. The Trumbull County boys enjoyed a 12-0 victory over Sharon. The second game was played with New ilmington at New Wilmington, and Sharon ran rough-shod over their opponents. The Yellow Jackets were able to score almost at will, and finished on the long end of a 31-0 score. Youngstown Chaney High players were the opponents for the third fray, and the game was very close. Chaney succeeded in winning bv the slim margin of 20-19. In this game the Yellow Jackets showed a strong ofrense in the last quarter. Next came the “Big Red” from Middlesex, and Sharon chalked up their second victory of the season 14-7. It was a hard game, and the boys from down o Od ■ «$ o 0 © a 0 0 the Shenango fought every minute of the fray. This was the first county victory for Sharon. After the Middlesex game the boys rested for a week, and on the following Saturday met Sharpsville. our traditional rival. The Blue and White boys were favored to win, and they finished the game, true to expectations, on the big end of a 20-0 score. The game was witnessed by a typical Sharon-Sharpsville crowd. Following the Sharpsville game, came the game with Grove City. The Yellow Jackets journeyed to the college town and were dragged through the mud and water to a 66-0 defeat. This was the poorest exhibition of football that has been put on by a Sharon team in a number of years. The boys from Farrell were having a “big” year, and they predicted an overwhelming victory over Sharon, but they were very fortunate to score a 19-7 victory. The Jackets had many more chances to score but they lacked the necessary punch. Greenville was the next opponent for the Orange and Black and they were defeated by a 6-0 score. The game was hard-fought with neither team seeming to have an advantage. This was the third and last victory for Sharon. 0 0 Our Crawford County rivals were next, and Sharon journeyed to Meadville the day before Thanksgiving and went down to a 25-0 defeat. The game was without thrills, for Sharon could not stop the Tiffin coached outfit. Those who received their letters were: Captain Welch, Routman, Conlon, Polonus, Ferrario, Stern, Joyce, Walsh, Weikal, Cornwell, Gething. Sebastian. Biggin, Burns and Manager Boyd Wilson. Mike Sebastian was elected captain for next season. 0 8 t 4 0 • • � o 2D • o • M UYTLE Ninety-five Boys’ Basketball The Sharon High Boys brought another successful season to a close by winning the Mercer County and Northwestern title for the second time in two years. At the beginning of the season Coach Dickerson faced the task of building an entirely new machine to represent Sharon on the basketball court. The results of his endeavors are shown by the results obtained, the team winning the majority of the games on the regular schedule and finally the county and district title. It was a wonderful aggregation that represented our High School through the 1 28 basketball campaign. They were not all stars, they were just a gang of hard-working fellows who were playing the game for the school, and because they loved it. The team was fortunate in having such a capable leader as Captain Conlon. Joe was always in the game fighting hard and encouraging his team mates. This was instrumental in the great success enjoyed by the team. During the regular schedule of games Sharon succeeded in winning ten out of seventeen games. This did not seem like a very impressive record but Coach Dickerson was gradually bringing the boys along so that they would l e in good shape for the tournament. The odds were against Sharon in the drawing because they were forced to plat- their rival. Farrell, on the first night. This game was turned into a win. and on the following night Grove Citv was defeated in the semi-finals. Greenville High boys were the opponents in the final game, and they tasted defeat at the hands of the Yellow Jackets, therebv giving us permanent possession of the three-year trophy and the right to compete for Northwestern honors. In the Northwestern tournament Sharon was forced to play the Punxsu- 0 o -«2£ O © a 0 0 © O C •' tawney “Ground boys” in the first round. The game was well played with Sharon’s great defense stopping their opponents at every turn. Sharon was successful in winning the game and the right to battle Erie Central for the title. The following night Erie was met and defeated and Sharon was recognized as Northwestern Pennsylvania Champs for the second consecutive year. Duquesne was met on the following Tuesday for the Western title and Sharon lost a hard fought game to the boys from the W. P. I. A. L., thereby closing one of the most successful seasons in the history of the school. Those who succeeded in earning their awards were: Captain Joe Conlon, Jim Murphy, Norbert Flaherty, Carl Seiver, Russel Polonus, Carl Deems, Paul Burns, Bud Laycock and Ted Blaner.

This year they did not send a team to the National Tournament, but they succeeded in winning the majority of their games. They ended the season with a record of eight wins and three defeats. They opened up their season by trimming the Alumni Girls 35-29. The Alumni had all the stars of previous years in action but they could not succeed in winning from the Varsity girls. The second game was played with the fast team from Warren, O., and after the battle was over the Sharon Girls had suffered their first defeat of the season. The final score was 32-20. 'flic game was hard fought all the way through. The next engagement was with the New Castle Girls on the Sharon floor and Sharon defeated their rivals by the one-sided score of 45-16. In this game the Orange and Black lassies looked like another championship team. After the New Castle game Sharon was slated to play the Grove City Girls and they succeeded in winning very decisively by a 36-7 score. The Grovers were no match for the strong Sharon Girls. Sharon met I ranklin Girls for the first time in history on the local floor and set down the up-state Girls 46-23. The Franklin Girls could not keep up with the pace set by the Yellow Jacket maidens. O {B - g% O • O Gj) The sixth game of the season proved the biggest surprise of the entire campaign when our girls went down to defeat at the hands of the Farrell sextet by the one-sided score of 36-14. Sharon was not playing true to form, and could not successfully locate the basket. Our Girls were all set for a tough battle with the Oil City Girls but all the opposition offered by the Oilers was not enough to stop the local Girls who romped home to a 36-7 victory. The Oil-town Girls were lost on the big floor. The Girls entered the next game with a determination to avenge the defeat suffered at the hands of the Farrell Girls on the previous meeting, and when the smoke blew away they had completed their task. Farrell was defeated 27-26 in an exciting game. All the subs were given a chance to demonstrate their ability when the Grove City Girls were met on the Sharon floor, and they helped their big sisters carry away a 35-12 verdict. VVe were not so successful in the second meeting with the Ne-Ca-Hi Girls and as a result we finished on the short end of a 21-18 score. It was a typical Sharon-New Castle fray and both teams fought hard. The Girls drew the curtain on the 1928 campaign in a very fitting manner when they met and defeated the Holy Name Girls, Champions of the City of Cleveland, by a rather large score. The final calculations showed a 39-11 decision in favor of the home team. Only seven girls succeeded in winning their awards during the past season. Those who will be recommended for sweaters are: Capt. Wise, Helen Brenner, Frances Christenson, Josephine O’Brien. Lois Shook, Helen Zvarich, and Ethel Stambaugh. 35 Alumni 29 Sharon 30 Warren. 0 32 35 New Castle 19 ... 36 Grove City 7 46 Franklin 23 14 Farrell 36 ... 36 Oil Citv 7 18 New Castle 21 27 Farrell 26 35 Grove City 12 39 Holy Name 11 Sharon Opponents 223 ’• O $5 ■ o Track Team During the past season the Sharon track team gained much recognition tor the school, both in the County and Sectional Meets.

Since then the association has greatly increased its membership and is now a thriving organization working always for the benefit of our High School. The president, this year, Mrs. Glen Carley, is working hard to further the success of the Association. The accomplishments of this Association are worthy of much praise. Probably the best known work carried on is that of the College Fund, the purpose of which is to help deserving students to continue their High School or College work. Already nine students have been helped with money, while a great many have received helpful advice from members of the committee. This is only one of the many ways in which the Association is working for the High School. The members of the Alumni have always been willing speakers at our assemblies, and are loyal supporters of every Scholastic and Athletic team. The social activities of the Association are not to be disregarded. The annual banquet held in September each year is one of the most popular affairs of the year. At this time members of every class have an opportunity to meet old friends, and to discuss incidents of High School days. The class having the greatest number of members present at the banquet receives a trophy engraved with the year of graduation. The basketball games held during the Christmas holidays between the Alumni teams and the High School teams arouse keen interest. But of equal attraction is the dance held immediately after the games in the school gym. Each Athletic team is banqueted yearly by the Alumni in appreciation of the work of the teams. In further recognition of our students, awards are made each year by the association. The athlete with the highest scholastic record is presented with a prize. At commencement the best all-around boy, and the best all-around girl of the Senior class are awarded prizes. Because we do appreciate the work of the Alumni Association the entire school expresses its gratitude. When we, the present Senior class, shall have finished our High School days, and shall have entered the great group of fellow Alumni, we will try to promote the success of the Association, and to do for the High School what the Association did for us. m 0 'V, 0 k 0 t 4 ( ' «$ o A LOST CHORD Seated at the window of my laboratory on the hill, I was gazing absently at the twinkling lights of the city far below, when the resonance of that strange chord stirred again my very soul. The emotions and thoughts aroused by this vague echo, which in my doubt I called a chord, were strange indeed. “What power created my soul? Is life a dream or a reality? What shall happen to me when I die ?” These thoughts always arose unbidden when I heard or rather sensed that eerie chord; perhaps because I heard it only at night and alone in my laboratory, perhaps because it was in my nature to wonder, but partly, I believe, because there was something supernatural about the chord that suggested the thinness of the veil between reality and supposition. For over two months I had heard the queer sound several times each night that I remained in my laboratory. Often assuring myself that there was something more than imagination responsible for the chord, 1 decided to hunt out its source, but as many times I reached the inevitable conclusion that the sound must be a creation of my own fancy. It resembled very little anything I had ever heard before and it seemed to come from no definite direction. I arose from the window and returned to the fire where a mixture of acids was bubbling. I poured out the acids and decided to retire. Once in bed, not even the occasional muttering of the haunting chord could keep me awake. The next morning when I arose with the sunlight and a fresh March breeze streaming in at my open window, I had the disregard for my brooding about the chord that daylight always brings for troubles of the darkness. I accomplished a good morning’s work in my laboratory and drove into town for lunch. Late in the afternoon, bearing a newly acquired formula, I started back toward the laboratory, but my aversion to working in the afternoon led me to stop in to see an invalid friend. Christopher Saliens was really a neighbor of mine, for his strange old house was crowded against the bottom of the cliff that bore my laboratory, but as one had to travel nearly a mile to get up or down the precipice, each of us felt that he had the isolation he desired. The housekeeper admitted me and led me to the dark old studio where critics had once proclaimed my friend the greatest living master of the piano. Saliens was lying on the low white combination wheel chair and bed that he had been confined to for more than a month because of a nervous breakdown. Douglass, his youthful valet, friend, and pupil, was playing the piano. “Good afternoon, Norman,” said my friend in a voice much stronger than his fragile body. “How are you today?” I asked. Douglass arose from the piano and took my hat and coat. I settled myself in a chair and accepted a cigar. My visits with Christopher were always interesting, for Saliens was a puzzle to me. He was a very fine conversationalist and could hide quite well his joys a d k • • o - 2j;r o One Hundred Four O CD • O and sorrows, but somehow he had not learned so well as others to mask his real self. The glimpses 1 received from time to time of his soul puzzled me greatly. This March afternoon Christopher engaged me in conversation about architecture. Evening came and I arose to go. but Saliens called me to his bedside. • “One day not long ago you mentioned the chord,” he whispered. “I told you I had not heard it. I do not know why I deceived you. I have heard it. It is very strange.” There was a moment or so of tense silence, broken by a footfall and the doctor entered the room. “Yes, very strange!” said I suddenly. “Sorry to interrupt,” apologized the doctor, “but I must see Mr. Saliens alone for a while.” “Oh, yes,” I said bowing, “I’ll ask him—that is, I was intending to leave now anyway.” At dinner my mind was a turmoil of questions aroused by the few significant words of my friend. I went to the theater but enjoyed the play very little. Deciding that the best thing 1 could do to quiet my nerves was to work, I started for my laboratory, but remembered before I got very far, that in mv excited departure from Christopher’s studio I had forgotten the formula I wanted to work-on. I decided to stop at Salien’s old house and get my treasure if I could. I rang the bell several times and getting no response was about to leave when Douglass appeared at the door, fully dressed but looking rather worried. “Oh. yes, Mr. Revell,” he said when I had apologized for my late call. “I remember the paper.” Following him into the studio, I pocketed the envelope he brought me. I was about to ask if I might see Christopher when, in a moment of silence without warning, the sound of that haunting chord more distinct than ever before, paralyzed me. Douglass started but recovered his poise immediately and made some remark about the formula. At that moment a ringing of the doorbell drew us both into the hall. The doctor entered and explained that his late call was a part of his search for a missing bottle of medicine. “Your call is similar to mine,” I remarked, as we started to search the studio. “I came back—” 0 0 0 All three of us straightened up and stood like statues, for the amazing, unearthly sound had been heard distinctly by each of us. The doctor whirled on Douglass. Is your master at the organ again?” he asked. “I can’t keep him away from it after you leave at night,” said Douglass, striving to keep his voice even. “Take me down to him,” said the doctor bruskly. Douglass nodded, palefaced, and turned away. The doctor followed. My sense of propriety left me completely and I followed too. Douglass led the way into the cellar and proceeded to the back wall where at his touch a cabinet swung c forward on hinges and revealed a low doorway. A short passageway brought us upon the most peculiar and majestic scene I have ever beheld. Here was an enormous cavern with walls and ceiling of the huge rough hewn rocks of the very center of the mountain. The brilliant lights shone on the glittering pipes of an exquisitely strange organ. There at its foot, bent over as if to worship the wonderful monster was Saliens. We paused at the entrance of the room. No man could have entered that cavern without first pausing as if to consecrate himself. Saliens raised his arms slowly, then lowered them to the keys. The whole world seemed to tremble. I have admitted that the chord affected me strangely before. Now, within its sanctuary, the wild bursts of unnatural charm seemed to draw the very heart out of me. The doctor gave a broken sob. Saliens had lowered his head again so that all we could see of him was his scarlet dressing gown. The doctor took a halting step forward and stopped—I know not why. The worshipper at the organ raised his arms again. Once more everything trembled, but the sound that followed held something more ominous than the wild harmony of the chord. With a vast and ponderous rumbling, the walls of rock above and behind the organ crumbled and leapt forth, as if seeking with a roar the sound that was drawing and disturbing them so. As the rocks entombed the whole organ and its player, we retreated hastily. The grumbling, rolling rocks pursued us to the very doorway. Yes, Christopher Saliens was a strange character. The people of this world pronounced him insane. But I have always wondered if there were not something more powerful, more amazing than a mere disease of the mind that inspired him to create the most miraculous organ the world has ever known. Perhaps the same power guided his fingers in their discovery of that combination of peculiar quarter tones, which mystified and fascinated Saliens as it did all others who heard it. Many times I have waited anxiously beside Douglass as he searched in vain the keys of an ordinary organ for a sound that resembled the haunting chord that had echoed from the cavern in the hill. Years have passed since Christopher Saliens left this world, but sometimes as I sit at night in my laboratory on top of the windswept hill, I imagine that I can hear that eerie chord, and it still makes me wonder. I ask myself, '‘Has Christopher Saliens solved the mystery of the chord?” Pali. Gamble. o s • g$ o «y © 0 0 0 YOUTH ON THE HILL 0 Dusk— Youth is on the hill, At the crest where tall poplars Sway in the wind, Silver against the amethyst sky of evening— The wind tosses the hair of the youth On the hill; Turbulent night comes silently and Swirls around him ; He gropes in the silvery darkness Struggling for light. Youth gives up with a sigh And waits In the dim deadness of the night, For tomorrow is a day when life Begins again. The stars flicker and are gone. The sun lightens the Valley of hope stretching Before the youth—. Down the hill Through the amber glowing Of the morn Youth goes eagerly. But Gazing hack at the land Lying in a purple hush Of memories, M usic Soft and lulling Floats over the hill bringing notes of Liquid loveliness Through the air. Notes that hold the youth On the hill, Notes that stir him With cool sweetness, Then die. Youth, with his gaiety Softened Goes down the hill to the Valley of hope, The valley of Glamour and crystal light Holding youth, Guiding him on. New music lures him, A soft dusky music, Like the night Tinkling with stars, Strains of life Calling youth on to the Valley of hope.

Of course the first guess is Janet Feder, and the first guess is right. Although Janet is found talking almost every minute of the day, much of the talking is necessary and worth while, and much is also done for her own amusement, for she seems to be happiest when she is engaged in chattering. But just as there are lots of bashful boys in the class, so there are lots of talkative girls. Some of these are Gladys Baker, Bessie Cohen, and Mary Garrick, as the results of the voting indicate. r, = CAVANAUGH “The Tailor” Suit made to order $21.75 up Odorless Dry Cleaning A Specialty 4 — One Hundred Twenty THE MIRROR Congratulations to the Graduating Class ‘you'll Enjoy CDott ‘Robertson s Ice Cream It’s Trood T HE MI R R O R r, ■ DEFOREST SAM LURIE SON BUICK CO.

The game is played indoors where it is warm, and everyone can be very comfortable, while in Football season, the weather might be, and very often is, very unfavorable. Basketball is a much faster game than Football. But probably the keen interest aroused in Basketball tournaments plays a great part in making this game the favorite of most High School students. o 1 Compliments of 7- Service Courtesy THOS. J.

One Hundred Sixty-five T HE MI R R O R FAVORITE ACTOR The answers to the question, “Who is your favorite ‘movie’ actor or actress,” were very greatly varied and no one actor or actress received a very great majority. However, Ramon Navarro seems to be the favorite actor, while Clara Bow and “Billie” Dove received the most votes for favorite actresses. Some of the others who were voted favorites are Colleen Moore, John Gilbert, and Lloyd Hughes. MOST BASHFUE BOY Who is the most bashful boy in the Senior Class? There are a great many bashful boys in our class this year, as you already know. But, of course, there are a few who are especially known for their bashful ways. Among the several well known ones, Lewis Perkins has been voted the most bashful of all. However, Lewis has some very close seconds in Harry Fornander, Harold James and Francis Price. BEST ALL AROUND GIRL To Helen Wise, by virtue of her athletic and mental ability, and her personality, goes the envied title “Best all around girl in the Senior Class of S. H. S.” We think the title is well deserved for being a basketball captain, staying well up on the Honor Roll, and partaking in school activities requires more than average energy and ability. Janet comes in second by reason of her active participation in Mirror and Interscholastic work and her capacity for taking care of everything else that is thrust upon her. MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL It seems that the Seniors of Sharon High prefer brunettes to blondes; either that or the blondes are not so beautiful as their darker sisters. However, that may be, Helen Thomas’ doll like prettiness brings her the title of most beautiful girl in the Senior class. Jean Reed runs her, however, a very close second; in fact it is so close that it’s almost a tie. Jean’s brunette beauty, though not the same as Tommy’s, puts her in the same class as Helen. HANDSOMEST BOY You will find that the common run of people prefer blonde ladies and dark men. But Sharon Seniors in this case as in everything else, do not belong to the common run. You can guess who the blonde boy is, of course, Ed Hyde. As boys don’t like to have their looks discussed, we will say no more about it. You can see for yourself. Ansel McCamant, that tall, dreamy-eyed, in love, young man with the curly brown locks, came in second. FAVORITE STUDY Of all the subjects studied in High School P. O. D. seems to be the favorite. What could be the reason for the popularity of this subject? One solution to the question and a very probable one too, is found when we consider what an intelligent group of students we have in our Senior class—students who are interested in the present day problems of our country, and students who wish to learn the principles of better citizenship. Could there be another reason?
