We have endeavored to extend its contents to our present school year eliminating all that was possible concerning activities previous to that time. As we are all human we are subject to mistakes. But by the efficient labor of the Staff, we strove to free our Annual from all mistakes. We feel that our school is giving you an edition equal to that of much larger schools and one which you cannot call cheap. We hope that in future years many Editions will be added to the present ones and that each one will find itself farther advanced than the latter. ATHLETICS Athletics in Sunbury High, the year of 1922, show a marked .success over those of the past few years. We had one of the best basketball quintettes ever produced by our school, and one which deserves much credit. One of its members received the gold medal at the O. W. U. State Tournament for the highest scoring guard from villages with a population from 500 to 1500. We are also able to place a real baseball team on the field, one which will bring honor in future years, as it is composed of seven first year men. Our girls were able to participate in the County Championship basket- ball game. They also brought home the honors from the track meet last spring. One member of the squad won three events which was suflicient to obtain a gold medal. Athletics have been and will be beneficial to our school. It has taken the place of Physical Training. It has aroused our spirit to the highest point and has helped to bring honor to Sunbury and Community. MUSIC A High School Glee Club and a High School Orchestra were organized. Mr. Neilson acted as director of both organizations.

pn., T H E O W L IE!!! twenty-one BOOSTING THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL Faithful and true hearted, Let us cheer our dear Old High, We revere her and defend her, And her colors proudly fly, We will stand for her, united, Of her deeds we gladly tell, Her colors streaming, Glad faces beaming, So here's a cheer for her that we all love so well. Chorus: J oyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our Old High, Let ev'1'y heart sing, Let ev'ry voice ring, There's no time to grieve or sighg It's ever onward, our course pursuing, May defeat ne'er our ardor cool, But, united, we will boost for her, Our Old High School. Honors she has taken, On the track and with the ball, May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fail, There's no other that can match her, When her team is on the field, Her boys the fleetest, Her girls the sweetest, Then here's a cheer for her, for her who ne'er will yield. WE'RE OUT TO WIN Hear the echo prolong See the look in our eye: While we're singing our song, Hear the chorus we cry: We're out to win! We're out to win! We're out to win! We're out to win! We're out to win today! W'ere out to win today! See them shiver and shake! Sing it over again! See them quiver and quake! All together again! We're out to win! 1 We're out to win! We're out to win! We're out to win! We're out to win today! We're out to win today! Chorus: We're out to win! No matter what's before us. We're out to win! O hear the mighty chorus! We're out to win! The signs are right today! O see our grim determination as we say, We're out to win! We're out to win! No matter what's before us. We're out to win! V O hear the mighty chorus! We're out to win! The signs are right today! We're out to win! We're out to win!

T H E O w L twenty-three These societies have appeared at most of the Chapel exercises, also have given public entertainments and on all of the occasions have performed creditibly. There is no doubt that the musical organizations of the year are the best in the history of the Sunbury High School. A LITERARY SOCIETIES' ACTIVITIES This school-year has witnessed increased interest and activity in both Athenian and Philomathean Literary Societies. Several evening programs have been given at the .school and a contest between the two societies given at K. of P. Hall was enthusiastically received by old members of the societies, as well as by the public in general. The support given the officers of the or- ganization by the pupils has been quite satisfactory. Education is to fit one to take his place in the world. Knowledge is val- uable only when translated into action. The society work gives training in expression, and opportunity for application of knowledge gained in class- room work. The only adverse criticisms we have to make of the year's work is that from a literary standpoint the programs given at the school were of a light nature. The programs should not necessarily be funerals, but their purpose should be instructive rather than entertaining. A thought was expressed in each society this year, that is worth re- membering this year and possibly the next: Keep on improving, but re member there is always room for more improvement. The benefit you receive from your society is equal to the effort you put into it. PAUL MILLER, '22 THE LITERARY One of the rules Ohio hands down to her first-class high schools is, that they shall have a library in the school which contains reference on the various subjects taught. We are glad to say that the past four years have each seen some im- provement made in our library. The class of '17 presented the school with two sectional bookcases, which met the approval of the school inspector and saved our school from loss of charter. Last fall the library was moved to the lower floor, into the room formerly used by the Superintendent. Since then Miss J effrey, with the assistance of two boys in the school, has succeeded in indexing the three hundred and iifty books under the duo-decimal sy.stem. The Encyclopedia which had been in the school for some time was get- ting out of date, and the new Encyclopedia, the gift of the Class of '21, made a great addition to the library. Current news and literature are provided this year by the Ohio State Journal, Atlantic Monthly, American Magazine, Scientific Review and Amer- ican Boy. Next year should see some improvement in the care of magazines. It is progress like this that keeps Sunbury on top!
