Such a publication is wholly in keeping with the Festival’s stated goal to “rec- 2013 ognize and reward distinctive writing.” It is also a means for publicizing the extraor- dinary work that Youngstown-area students do at the Festival, both in preparing themselves by reading the works on the English Festival booklist and in composing thoughtful and engaging essays before and during the Festival. The essays included in this 2013 edition of A Festival of Writing are no ex- ception. They reflect the excellent language facility of our area’s students, as well as their careful reading and critical thinking. The YSU English Festival Committee congratulates those students whose work appears in these pages, and it commends the parents and teachers who have supported these young writers.

He seemed so temperamental, and didn’t want to listen to any voice that told him to be careful about these activities.” Jericho Prescott’s story illuminates a universal problem for all youth: fitting in is becoming more important than self- discretion. Young people today are so willing to do anything for a sense of be- longing, even incriminating themselves to any degree. As a society, people must work to show adolescents that a feel- ing of belonging isn’t held in the hands of popularity or reputation, but rests solely within their own acceptance of themselves. “If I could, I would take it all back,” Jericho Prescott ended. “All I wanted was to belong somewhere. Now I just wish I could belong with Josh again.” 3 Festival of Writing 2013 Thursday Lily AbiNader Sharpsville Area Middle School Newspaper Articles Based on Athletic Shorts Fashion: Angus’s parting words: “A SMILE is It’s Winter Ball time again, and this always the best accessory!” year, fashion reporter Sandy Smith had the chance to meet with the King Darren Miller of the Winter Ball at Lake Michigan Darren Miller, of Harrisburg, Pennsyl- High School, Angus Bethune.

My pages represent an endeavor to differentiate between the commonplace and the un- usual, the product being, I hope, an exact and interesting account of school life during the past year. I am a success if I accurately picture the splendid and outstanding group of young men and women who have been responsible for my production. My makers have chosen 'The Door- way" for my pictorial theme. The selec- tion of such a theme should prove interesting to you, my readers. It has been through these doorways that you came as Freshmen, crude and unpolished. Daily, for four years you have passed beneath these same doors in an effort to acquaint yourself thoroughly with your chosen profession. Now the time has arrived at last when you are to pass outward through the doors, somewhat finished products, ready to take your places in the world, both as able teachers and citizens. I, the "Sequelle," make but a single request of you. May I, in the years to come, live in your memory as a symbol of the days in which you lived and laughed and loved at Clarion. D E D I JOHN O. JONES THE Classes of 1935 take pleasure in dedicat- ing their "Sequelle" to John O.
