It seemed to bring me pictures of the past. The first thing that came to my mind was our first year i~ High School. Our first semester as Freshies was uneventful, but during the second semester things began to happen. One eventful day we had our first class meeting and elected "Betty" Kline as president. Paul Heiman was entrusted with our money as secretary and treasurer. If memory serves me rightly we had a few parties, and were a "howling success", so as to speak. The next year t:ame when we were allowed to take another step on the journey throu::;-h H.i:;-h School. Sometime ·'doing that year Helen Debold was chosen. to lead us on th!s journey, her assista:qt was Roberta Gabbert, also at this time ·we had to celebrate our becoming Sophomores so we had a few parties, and as the saying is after all parties, "a good time was had by all", including the faculty member;. I had . wandered pretty far from the subject. of our first year in school 1Vhen it suddenly dawned upon me that I had forgotten something of the utmost importance il:ld that was that our first honorary member was one of the present mern,bers ·of the stern faculty, he is Mr. W. E. Neihaus. · · Well, to go back to our Sophomore season, Mi~s Lois Helfer, was given the honor of be!ng our faculty adviser, and as most of you know that she was the Domestfo~ Science tea :her, you can be sure that we always had good eat.s at all our parties, which was something· to be thankful for. It w:is during this school year that Mr. Copper and Mr. McNeil passed' away. 'Every year some of our members left us, maybe it was because they ·4 id not like our company, or perhaps they .wanted to start in the business world early ·so as to get a good start on the rest of us that desired to finish our journey, through the halls and room:;' of dear old; B. II. S; . I am sure that none of us regret our four years spent here. (Well, so 111u~h for that lecture.) · My mind, Il~s now ~andered bac~ to almost a year ago and then we became Juniors, and of course, a new I.ender was re.q uired to lead us on that journey and pilgrimage. Whe~ we became "fl.ighty Juniors",·. we began to think that we were· somebody and took more interest the affairs of the sch:>ol, for example, we thought that it was oµr duty and pleasure to tease the Freshies, which of course, we did to the pleasu!e of all parties concerned. As I started to· say that we had to have a leader. Weil, to be. truthful; a boy was given this honor. It was Hiram Bell, better known by the title of "Hi", and Lilian McClowery was given the position as secretary and treasurer. These two worthy people held these offices while we were Senior B's and of course that is when the biggest deal of all High School life begins. We had to think of some means of getting 1-::1oney to feed the Senior A's. Before we had time to plan for very much, the day of the banquet was near. At the eleventh hour we decided to "stage" .a carnival. This. was 8- huge success, much to our surprise. If it had not been for our honorary mem- . b21•, Miss Gbdys Heyman, who worked till sh<i was almost gray-headed, I might have •: dcff<!rent story to t ell you. The banquet was a success too, , we held it in the cafeteria, which was decorated with our colors, cardinal and black, and the music room was decked out in blue and all in f Janum-y, Barberton High School January 1926 Yearbook ... - SE ,\I ! u R , \ 'i '\ti.\ L ln faculty line so' life, wl uf our ELEANOR LONG "Her bubbling g ood humor is a sure cure for the blues" Class President ( 4) .E ditor-in-Chief of Annual ( 4) Y.

At t his critical time we can say tha~ a ll the memter s in our class worlwd ha1 d, both doing th:nzs for the carniv::.l and for the ba nquet. Also we can thnnk the :r_;~.m . bers of the other class, and the co operation cf the teachers in making both c ;' ~ h!!se events a s uccess. Dur ing th:s semester one of our tea::hers died, Mr. Rhinehart. After all of thst exciter.:ent we had a vacation which seemed to be very pleasant, no books or teachers to bother us. Let me · remind you that during all of our three years. and a half in school that we were not seated in t he s~u:l y hall, but w hen t he new addition opened, we were put ba: k in Room 30. There we entertained ou rsel ves immensely. We hr.d giYen up the idea of ever being in the study hall and decided our next m ove would be down on the firs~ flo or or to the ba:ernent , but Mies Heyma n i::forrr:ed us differently, and so as · S enior A's we were sent over to the study hall, not to our sorrow, but we ha~ed to. leave M'.ss Heyman to the cares of the cold, cruel world. Mr. Reed was then given the h.1n:ir of ·w:!tching o~ e r u s a nd to ~ee that we s~ udled ha:der than ever. So. for more info rm ation about us ancl our actions in the s~u dy hall, I mus i; refer you to Mr. Reed. He sh:::ll no doubt t ell you that we •.ve re the mo s ~ ~: tudious a:1 d cli::;nified class in Hi:;h School. ( Apples;iucc ! ) A's we had a milll.on and one thin:'.,s to do.

Tha:; is all true, but most of us thou .:_ h ~ we wodd die wh] e giving one, bu~ . i::iy are all ovc1· now, a:1d we are still alive and "goi.ng strong"'.

He ·was aided by his beautiful young wife whom we reco.-;nized as our old schoo lm a~e, Angeline .Merda.

We always did think that hls oratunrl voice wo uld son:e day bring him r en own. The next day we began to visit the. surrcunding towns.

As three follows two so Junior succeeds Sophomore. Ahem! we were called upperclassmen. We could hardly wait until we would ·have our class assembly. We elected efficient officers, namely-Agnes Alspach president and Lola Samples secretary and treasurer. Miss Lee was chosen our honorary member. The meeting adjourned with a promise of another in the near future to decicie on our ring·s. One and then two weeks. passed before Mr. Simon came with samples. A committee was appointed , and after hours of discussion they finally chos e our rings, green gold with black onyx trimming;.;.

To be unable to win or lose sanely and gallantly. Both girls and boys are taught through athletics t o accept and classify failure through chance, through error, 01• through wilfulness. Athletic participation during the most plastic period of life accords to men and n t learned through cowomen of the future that self-sufficiency and lac~ of : restrai_ ordination of mind and muscle. An equable disposition, :that safeguard of happiness, ·· is acquired. Competition being the spice, as well as, sometimes, the bane of business life, it is well that its judicious application be learned early. And what field is better supplied with this lesson than a thletics ? The keenest a..~ well as the fairest competition to be encountered is met in interscholastic contests. A rigorous sel~-control is taught, and insubordination is not tolerated. The discipline that governs a squad of athletes will serve well a man who once worked under it. Competition fairly supplied and intelligently directed is invaluable to potential business men. To be physically fit is to be efficient. Athletics during school days place our boys and girls in womferful trim, providing them with suffiderit endurance 6f health to carry them through life. The question has recently been asked, Does humanity at large benefit- from such f eats of human skill and endurance as swimming across the English Channel? Of what use to the wol'ld is the best swimmer, the . swiftest runn_e r,_ . ~he best baseball" pitcher, the be!it football player or the best boxer ? · Hundreds and ..thousands of per~ sons throng arenas, stadiUms, pools· and sea beaches, to see them perform. Of what value are Red Grange's accomplishments to the progress of civilization? Grange exemplifies skill, speed, daring, strength, courage and initiative. He is the superman of football and as such, millions pay him tribute. Has he contributed anything to civilization ? It is well that the youth of the land aspire to be like him anc1 train with the hopes that some day they may be famous as he is now famoui;. Not many of the several thousand youngsters who as pire to oe Red Granges will 1 rhcy :.'lwavs h rount,q f;.;, ever be known beyond their immediate section of the country, but when they are training their bodies and guarding their health with the hopes· that they will be starH s_ome day, they are not committing crimes or getting into mischief. Rather they are building a foundation for health and character that will be of value to them in later life. 1'hey aspire to make touchdowns and the other things are by-products.

Horse awakened and graciously .smacked Al with his fist in return for the kick. Horse of course alwaysf:rose early, for his ·m other wanted him to be a model for the other boys in the neighborhood, which was an exclusive one, for only night bores Jived in it. Al sat up in bed and triumphantly spit into the comer without striking the wall paper.

Stores were heavy with holly, candles and stuffy, unnatural looking Santa Clauses. Merchandise of every description was on display-some of it attractive, most of it otherwise-to tempt and fbally induce the uncertain purchaser studying hi.\' long list of names followed by question ma.rks. People pushin::; head long some place, or no place; whining children demanding this, tha~verything; sales women alternating their disposition between orgies and lumps of sugar, all of this together with a stifling atmosphere went to make up any respectable place of business twenty three days before Christmas. In a conspicuous glass counter in the front of one of these exclusive abodes of the shopper, I was enthrowned, a jaunty pair of tan buckskin sport gloves. You say enthroned ? Why not when you have soft, goldened colored satin beneath you; a great Jar of saffron chrysanthemum:;; at your side and a sumptous jewel box at your feet? Flappers gazed at me with reverence; st out matrons would sigh and lament the fact that they could no longer ple:!sin.:;ly cover their portly figures with sport clothes. My glory was suprer.-.e!

It was not long before this kind of treatment began to change t he appearance of my exterior. I sagged at the fin:;;ers and stretched at the wrist. My lovely sheen was all but gone and tbe1 e was hardly a be fur coated miss who would stop to look at me. At last, I knew it would come to that, they opened me, shook their heads, and changed those little uu1:• · b'.:)rs on my back fo1· a red tag. I was on the bargain counter and it was or.ly t en days u11 ~] Chr:stmas.

And this "dear little niece" whom I had heen i:;ent to cheer- surely she was worth speculating on.

AN.t\L'AL t'\L'MBEI\ "Dear little niece" could hardly expect not to have a thrifty mother with an aunt like Aunt Clara, s o why should she display so much digust at having me presented to Master Tommy, her younger brother? He was an U£"1Y lubbering youngster and had he succeeded in jamming his pudgy fists into me, I know my "guaranteed seams" would have surrendered. Just at this moment, however, Mother again interrupted seeing Tommy's difficulty and quickly decided to p<iss me on to "dear r.h e nieces" young·est sister. What were my feelings <luring all of this? I didn't have any-I left them back there in my gfass p:ilace with the golden satin and saffron chrysanthemums. And with Babe's skinny little hands within me it was double easy to forget that I was alive. The old sages just slumped the more; my back strai.1.rht up to this time became creas ed and crooked, and my s tretched wrists refused to shrink. In this pitable condition I might at least have live<l out a respectable old age if it had not been for Maste? Tommy. He had covet ed me from afar for some time, and now that a sleigh ride was at hand bringing with it the prospect of sitting besi de Henrietta Bean, the temptation was too great. With one thrust a sticky 11udgy hand came into me. My creased ba:::k straightened with a strain, and t he sa::;ging fingers puffect out like stuffed sausages. Now his whole hand was in me and h e was wiggling hi s thumb. That was too much; the guaranteed seams stretched and then a sickening pain told me that · a great tear had been made across the front of me. Tommy pulled me off with difficulty and after some pouting from Babe and quite l\ bit cf remonstrating from mother, I was thrown dow11 cellar with the other rags. You see no one really cared very much because they had not wanted ME anyway. l remained in 'that dank, dark cellar until Spring. Why did they dii:lodge me then'! There was going to be a Rummage Sale for some Ladies Aiders-whatever they areand so I was t aken into a cold, empty store -room. One of the. "Aiders" pinned a slip of paper on me which read, "twenty five cents". On my left were old shoes, white shoes, tan shoes, black shoes all with tur ned up toes, broken down heels and in a state of moral decay. On the other side of me were old caps, p atched aprons, broken dishes, and spotted mirrors-all out casts. People were continually passing by the window, and many of the curious ones would stop and peer in at me .f or a moment, then pass on uninterested. Two bright, little faces were quite distinct from these indifferent pedestrians, in that they viewed me with evident admiration. At last, a s if waiting for their courage to r each the zenith point, they edged into the store, and quietly a s k if they might examine me. I was freely handed over for inspection. One Uttle face continued to "beam", and on learning that I could be obtained for the nominal sum of twenty five cents, immediately closed the transa~~ion. Almo~t lovingly she patted me as we left the cold, empty store. I was tucked into her outside podcet, but even f.rom that position I could hear her explainin~· to her· s~·mpathetic friend . "I have wanted some real, honest to goodne s~; g loves for ·s o long . In the s tore;; i t has always been useless to . even ·price them; l:ec a1~ :1c the;' are f::r· too cx::ic:ifli\ c f.. r me to consider." I Destled deeper into the sha.llow pocket. This was the kind of convenmtion one likes to drink in slowly, and with physical comfort. We were approachin.g the river wh'ch divides the resi:.'.ential section of the town. Perhaps my two friends will soon fLd it necessary to leave one another so I had bette r be quiet and listen a gain before all the nice things about me have been sn id. 'It aL:1 os~ seems as if some good fairy has taken pity on me, and placed these gloves in a Rummage Sale so I cou~d buy them .. But if it was a good fairy, :-VhY didn't sh~ pla::e a pair of those long, white, French kid ones, and make my happrnesi:; comp le~c". T:iey were crossing. the foot br idge; the speaker made a sharp, pitiful little cry.

Sometimes the road is long, sometimes the road is short; sometimes sweet and s ometimes bitter; but after all it is just what we make of it. "But it's ·the dull road that leads to the gay road," and "the work road that leadi< to the play road". It's a road where we toil, we rest. we try, we learn, we strive, we enjoy-and even then the road of· life is the most beautiful road of all. 'fhere are curves and dips, valleys and bumps. It wind s around mountains, runs beside the silvery stream, and out into the prairie, but it's a p:oor:I road. Everyone travels the road, he may stir up the dust, he may make ruts, or he may fix the road; whatever he does, it is accomplished by the things he does and says. If you are happy ·a nd gay the roadway will be within the fra grant va lleys and cool woods, and along silvery babbling streams; but if there is rnrrow in the life, the road leads over the mountains· and dark, dreary places. All the things that happen day by day, show what kind of metal "'e are m ade of. How we stand the tests life gives tQ us each day, it is these things that r.mrk the road, good or bad. · · If there were no sorrows, no cares, no sighs, no tears, no burdens, no soul sickness; if all our hopes were realized, if every joy cculd l::e found on earth, and we never lost a loved one, and if we· never had a friend \vho was fa lse-the road would be the same from its beginning to its end and we'd long· for a chance to prove our worth, to change the monotony of that ~rowded road, and ease s ome weary so_journer by the way side. But when the roses of your success are blooming, you will have forgotten the thorn pricks that you received as y::m tended you'r roses day by day, and year by year. Their sweet perfume will oblitera'.:e ever y sorrow and trial. The skies are blue , and you have f orgotten the days wh~ n the clouds were r-:ray. The ache, the pain, and bi tter disappointment--all is gone, and only a beautiful undiscovered road lies beyond. . >. The man who makes the road most beautiful, the most pleasant, is the man who is kind, courageous and brave. The man who h elps another t o smooth the path he treads. Life needs us all; some say the kindly word to ease the pain, and put away the care, some are friendly, others give the gifts that .are most needed. The roadway of life's childhood is the road, not Jon<; since built. The way is s trong, but others, his parents, guide his footsteps ·o'er its surface. and he trus~s them and joyfully trips over the way till he comes to his school days. The school·days are the parts of the road where the flowers grow by the way and where· ·are tinkling brooks and cool sylvan shades. The lasting friends are the trees, and the acqua,intances are the many flowers. The soft green grasses and ftowine- water are the joys we know in our ,;chool-days . . In the autumn when the trees lose their foliage, the old faithful friends drift away, but the soul and the spirit still remain. The flowers that die are the acquaintancei; that soon forget us-there is no common tie. The grass grows brown and s ear; thus do we forget our pleasures when new ones come, and even thus do the weeds, o?r sorsows, die. Then comes the days of toil and effort, struggling for fame. At_ every step some new thing rises to view and one sees one of nature's panorama. The way is long and oft times the traveler is soul sick. There failure, defeat, disappointment and chagrin await. Here is the real test; here it is that man determines whether he will take the left fork of the road, which leads down the road which is the i::ame all the way, always gloomy and with no curves and no sinnfog brooks.
