Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1908 volume:

The Call of the Young Men We’ve heard it—and have answered it with elaborate preparat ion. The dash of youth wants a distinct departure from the stereotyped styles and models and colorings. Cur craftsmen are e- qual to the requirements and they’ve given us an assortment of Suits that while they are new and original and extreme, still do not violate good tailor- ing principles. That’s wherein the led Made in New York Cit V • She Clothes that KEEP Men bung1' for Young Men have made their strong im- pression. The ‘kinks’ they’ve got; but they got more too--they’ve got fit, and making and finish and all else that goes to give the wearer satisfact- ion. PRICES $10. $15. $20.

The motto of the Ironton News is to boom for Greater Ironton, and as nearly all the other High Schools in the coun- try publish a paper, either weekly, monthly or yearly, we thought that the Ironton High School ought to be up with the High Schools of other cities, so we offered to print this Annual for the students at our own expense and risk, providing the students furnished their pictures and wrote the copy. The job has been a difficult one, and has required many weeks’ labor, but gain or loose, we feel repaid for our work, as we know many of the students will get much pleasure in reading through the pages of this edition. We wish to thank the Faculty, the Students, and the Merchants who have assisted us in making The Owl a success. The Publishers. WHAT’S THERE IN A N ME? HAT has a name got to do with an Annual? The name Owl might suggest that it is published by a wise bunch—in fact it is; then again Owl might suggest that the paper is edited by a bunch of students that stay out all night. Some might think the name Owl was chosen because the Annual is a “bird,” and some may think it is just a pet name. To keep our read- ers from guessing too much, we will say that the name Owl was chosen by the publishers, for the simple reason that the illustration on the cover made it convenient to use this name, and that the name is not used in connection with any motto of the school. paper a success. THE OWL IN AFTER YEARS. WHO TO PATRONIZE. w wish to call the atten- tion of the students and readers of the Owl, to ■ the advertisements in this issue, and we assure you that the publishers will consider it a personal favor, if you will patronize the merchants who have supported, and helped to make this High School HE Owl, fifteen or twenty years from now, will be valued above money, by the students who happen to have one. Every student will regret it many times, if they fail to keep a copy of this Annual to refer to in after years. The size of the Owl makes it very convenient to fasten in a scrap-book, or it can be sealed up in an envelope which will protect it from dust when laid away. 0 W L, EMERSON MARTING ’08 ....

CLASS 1 IRONTON HIGH SCHOOL 1908 £ ui nO Cfass Song of IHaugftt £ igftt. By HELEN W. STEWART, ’08. We have worked long and hard this class of ours, And our efforts have not been in vain; Then greet with a cheer the class of this year, For the highest in life we’ll attain. Chorus: Hurrah for naught eight, the best of all; Hurrah for naught eight, may it never fall; Hurrah for the purple and the violet too; Hurrah for the teachers and classmates true. Each duty fulfilled, we’re fitted to tread The long path stretching on before; Be it thorns or flowers, success shall be ours, In striving for the right evermore. 5fie President’s Qddress By EDWARD C. GOLDCAMP, ’08. Beloved Classmates, as we stand to-day on the threshold of our com- mencement, we only begin to realize the step we are about to take. A step from the flowery path of our school life into the great dark world, from a place where we have had our way strewn with roses, to a place where grows the dreaded lemon tree. At times, to be sure, our work seemed difficult, our teachers cross, and our classmates unsociable, but as we now look back we can realize that those days were the happiest that we will ever ex- perience. We have come to the point in life where we can no longer lean on our dear parents, but where we must up and show the world our true worth. When we were in school this beloved country of ours regard- ed us as only a side issue of its great self, but in the future it will expect us to propagate its great doctrines of freedom, peace and unity. But how can we make our mark in the world? How can we follow in the foot steps of the heroes who have gone before? By simply heeding the advice and well ment warnings of our teachers and par- ents. They have been through the mill while we are only starting. But dear friends, I believe the success of this class is assured and I have a very good reason for think- ing this. As a class we have been successful in most of our undertak- ings, and have shown to each other a true spirit of brotherly love and self sacrafice. One mistake, and one only did we make and that was in the selection of our class presi- dent. No doubt if the proper per- son had been selected the fame of this class would have extended much farther than it now does; but my dear classmates that class pres- ident, even though he be unworthy, will always remember with the greatest affection his companions, and he wishes to thank them for the cooperation and valuable assis- tance which they have rendered at all times. If we have succeeded as a class, we succeed individually, for is not this made up of individuals? Then when we are done with this life I hope we will all be received above by the Master with that salutation: “WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.” And now, representing this great class of ’08, I would thank, the Freshmen for their fear of us, the Sophomores for their love of us(?), the Juniors for their respect of us, our good teachers for the sacrafices they have made in helping us, and lastly our good superintendent for his kindly advice and just guid- ance. ellta Junior-Senior fKasquerade. By LONA BRAMMER, ’08. When in the course of human events it has ever become necessary for the editor of this section of a school annual to write an editorial corcerning a class reception, I would venture to say that none have had a more elaborately arranged social event to describe than the recept- ion tendered the Senior class by the Junior class at Berg’s Hall, Friday evening, May 1st. As the the invitations proclaimed it to be a mask party, the guests of both classes followed the directions; and as the Senior guests commenc- ed to arrive they were greeted by the Junior Ghosts and escorted to the dressing room. Beneath the entwinement of La- vender and Purple, the colors of ’08, and light blue and red, the colors of ’09, the grand march, ex- ecuted by those masked, was an im- posing spectacle. The accompany- ing orchestra of Beverly and Mat- hews, added greatly to the even- ning’s games, and an occasional draught from the punch-bowl only increased the enthusiasm of “Pig in Parlor” and “Skip to my Lou.” Numerous and comical were the mistakes made in regard to the partners for the evening. Although there were no disastrous results there were many incidents which afforded great pleasure for the on- lookers. The most serious of mis- takes were made by some promi- nent Seniors; one of which by the thirtieth century girl, who was inclined toward absurdities, has been a source of considerable com- ment since the reception. This two- faced being determined to recog- nize her partner who wa3 a Thug at this particular time, but she com- mitted such a bold and daring at- tack on poor Thug that he resolved to retire from his chosen vocation, never to resume it again. Our doomed friend, Happy Hool- igan espied a pretty Miss in Red Riding Hood custume; and thinking himself so thoroughly acquainted with the tan slippers which she wore, that he would be sure of a warm reception by the wearer, he gracefully strided across the hall and found to his great surprise that nothing awaited him in the way of reception but a LARGE YELLOW “Lemon.” “Stung again” he turn- ed away to search for the real pos sessor of the pair of tan foot-gear with which he was familiar. But, alas! he found that it was accom- panying its wearer, who had gone in search of her “Teddy.” Kitty, the Freshman, caused some of her classmates to be quite en- vious, because of the suspicious glances of a certain Junior, being turned toward her at short inter- vals; and he even had the bold ef- frontery to glide across the hall, before the eyes of all present and engaged with Kitty in a very con- fidential conversation, which act caused many daggerous glances to be hurled at the enchanted Junior. But------who took Kitty home? We ask. The Senior boys were harmlessly shocked at the popularity of some of the Senior girls among the gall- ant Juniors of common prominence. But the only remedy was to take a blushing little Junior Miss and go on their way speechless. This, some were wise enough to do, while others took a back seat occasionally. After the punch bowl was empty; the orchestra had received their pay; and the guests were tired of games, delicious brick ice cream and cake were served. The favors were dainty little purple violets tied with lavender ribbon. These colors were complimentary to the Senior’s class colors, and showed excellent taste on the part of the Juniors. At a late hour the departure for home was a regretted scene for all who enjoyed the Junior hospitality. Each one felt that the evening could not have been spent better. 3fie VoCedictorian. Miss Lura Loree Tufts is the Vale- . (Victorian of the Class of 1908. Her work Las been very uniform through- out the four years, her excellence not being confined to any particular de- partment. Only once has her average on a study fallen below 90, and that was an 59. Almost tne same m:ay be said of Miss Helen Louise Zimmerman who gains second honor. She has but two 89's. Both of these honor students came from Campbell Building. ©KSS. By HERMAN LINTNER, ’08. Prof. Marting—I never speak un- less 1 have something worth say- ing. Freshman—Aren’t you afraid of losing your command of language? Helen—Isn’t that faint tinge of gold in Edna’s hair perfectly dear? Norma—Only ten cents an ounce.

EPTEMBER the 11th, 1904—Pupils assembled in the Freshmen rooms of the Ironton High School. With fear and trembling they entered upon the study of latin and algebra, studies which up to this time they had never dared think of. Laboriously and faithfully they worked through the unknown (never known by some) quatities of Algebra. Slowly and cautiously they made their way through the intricate windings of the first, second, third, fourth con- jugation of the Latin verbs. Thus they valiantly struggled until they found themselves strong enough to descend from the Freshmen High- chair and take their seat upon the Sophomore footstool. With happy hearts, forty-eight of the former seventy-one pupils who had started in the Freshmen Class found them selves seated in the Sophomore Class. Strengthened and encourag- ed by their past success in the Freshmen Class, animated and in- spired by their brilliant hopes for the future they entered with zeal upon their new studies. But, alas, some fell in the Battles of the Gallic War, while others, though they passed through the Gallic War, were so weak and emaciated by the ordeal that they were unable to grasp the absurdities of Algebra. So in this way we lost many of our valiant class-mates who, though they fought bravely, did not con- quer. So as we seated ourselves in the Junior Class and looked around we were surprised to see only twenty-four of the forty-eight who had started in the Sophomore class. These twenty-four again confront- ed things which heretofore they had never dreamed of. They grop- ed their way through the dark pass- ages of Vergil and stumbled over the polyhedrons and tetrahedrons of Geometry. Several, as they lean- ed over the abyss to discern the strange phenomena of physics, the wonders of sound and light, the force of compressed air and the re- markable accomplishments of elec- tricity, fell over and we were forc- ed to leave them. So as we entered the Senior class and cast a glance around we perceived only twenty of the seventy-one who had started in the Freshmen class. Although small in number, this class was great in hope and ambition. The noble twenty of this class pledged themselves to make the class of 1908 the greatest in the history of the Ironton High School. Spurred on by this noble ambition they worked zealously and at the end of the first semester they found that they had gained this noble distinct- ion. But the year was not yet finished; there was still another semester through which they must pass. And as the second semester slowly advanced this class perceiv- ed that their decision, as have all noble decisions, had its opponent. This great opponent was English. Although it seemed for a while as if the conspiracy formed by Burke, Macauluy and Carlyle (and Mar- ting) would overcome some of the noble twenty, nevertheless with their strong minds and iron wills they overcame this mighty opponent and accomplished that for which they had struggled, viz: that the class of 1908 should be the best in the history of the Ironton High School. Cldv ice to tfte juniors. By EDNA L. EDWARDS, ’08. Since it is fitting and proper for the elder brother to advise the younger ones, thus it behooves the Senior to leave a few words of ad- vice to the unexperienced Juniors. Though advice is almost useless since it cannot be comprehended, yet I hope some may be soaked in through the pores. You will find out by the time you get through, that only few rules are needed. Most especially rules are needed for deportment and Latin composition. Now to the studies: I will give just a word to some special ones. Do not be too bright in Latin com- position for if you are, you will be compelled to complete the book. Then in Chemistry use plenty of hydrogen-sulphate. Always turn on the generator when classes are passing through, or on visiting days. Break all the apparatus you can, the more the better, for you can send in the bill to your father. When you make chlorine, inhale an abundance of it. It has a lasting effect. Have explosions too. Noth- ing is more exciting and enjoyable than to blow up a mixture, especial- ly when the experiment is very long or you are in a hurry. Do not give an expression of your feelings after such an occurence, but go serenely on and do the experiment again with a beaming countenance. There is no advice for English but to pass Of this one thing be sure, even if it is at the last minute. Now since your class is organiz- ed, start out with class meeting at the begining of the year. Have as many as possible, whether things harmonious or not. A fight is noth- ing unusual. Before the year is over you will become quite accus- tomed to such occurences, and you will even look forward to them with pleasure. Your deportment is another very important thing. Beware of the piano. Until it becomes transpar- ent, human nature cannot overcome a temptation so strong. Also your coming to school on time should de- serve a word. It is not becoming to the dignity of a Senior to come in, in the middle of the morning exercises. For you might interrupt some fellow Senior’s oration or the like. In the fire drill be alert and quick. Do it well. It makes no difference if a few girls go down the fire escape in the excitement. These are not all the special things I might speak of, but it is needless to give more, when the Juniors cannot grasp what has been given. But let me say that what- ever you do, DO NOT FLUNK. It is a very poor standard to set up before your fellow students. Keep the banner of I. H. S. as high as it has been thrust by the present Senior class. Then this time next year, if you follow these words learned by experience, you will be able to advise the next Junior class fully. Cfass Prophecy. By LURA TUFTS, ’08. (Written to Miss Helen Zimmermann.) Washington, D. C., June 3, 1939. Dear Helen: — I know that you are eager to hear about my trip and in what conditions I found the mem- bers of that historic old class of ’08, so I will proceed to tell you as brief- ly as possible the tale of my jour- ney. On May 5, 1930, I started for Cin- cinnati, where I knew Miss Anna McGerty resided. Of course, you remember “Mac,” the bright shin- ing light of our chemistry class. On my arrival, I found her located at her private laboratory, 4699 Vine street. She wTas working upon a compound which she intends call- ing ‘The Elxir of Life. ’ She said- she almost had it, and when it was dis- covered, it would conquer death and every one should live forever amid happiness and pleasure. She has the same sweet temper and beautiful hands that she had when she experimented in dear old Kings- bury and covered her waists with acid. I also visited two more of our classmates in their suburban home near Cincinnati. And who do you think they were? No others than Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Livingston. (Helen Stewart finally succeeded in capturing “Sammy.”) They seem- ed very happy in their beautiful home. Sam has become famous and at the same time immensly wealthy by his recent patenting of “No- freckle,” a liquid which will pos- tively rejnove freckles. And I found Sam’s complexion greatly improved by this wonderful discovery. I aiso visited the Grand Theater while in the Queen City, where the famous play, “The Bashful Maid” was to be exhibited. And to my surprise, I discovered that the Bash- ful Maid was the promising actress of our old High School class, Miss Clara Ilornberger. Of her success, I scarcely need speak, for you know how efficient she was in the role of her school days. She brought the whole house down and was nearly crushed beneath the falling bou- quets. After leaving Cincinnati, I visit- ed a ladies’ college near Glendale. On the faculty here, I found enroll- ed Miss Ethyl Selb and Miss Clara Coates. Ethyl is at the head of the cooking department, while Clara is the teacher of elocution and famous for her eloquent declamation of that popular poem, “Betsy and I are out;’’ and also for her remarkable aptness at reciting dialect poems, such as “Leetle Yawcob Strauss.” After a brief stay at Glendale, I visited New York, which is all astir on account of the recent and won- derful inventions of a certain El- mer Flehr. His name has already cast a shadow upon the name Ed- ison, and he promises to surpass all genius ever before exhibited. His latest invention is the process of making smokless codl by distillat- ion. He has also perfected the wireless telephone and the process of making diamonds. Thus you see our class has had a very decided in- fluence'upon the progress of the world. Also, while in New York I was fortunate enough to have the op- portunity of hearing the world’s most gifted singer of to day, Mag- dalena Pololcstoi, who I discovered was the same person who had charmed us in ’08 with her silvery voice. But I learned that her name in private life was no longer Hoff- man, but that she had remained true to the love of her High School days, in spite of the many offers of dukes and counts. After spending a few more days in the famous metropolis, I turned westward. On stopping at Alton, Illonois, I ran across another of our classmates, Mr. Edward Ward. In this flourishing city, he occupied the office of mayor, and has intro- duced many important political re- forms. Saloons have been abolish- ed and people no longer smash church windows and steal chickens, or officers rob the post office and treasury. He has most certainly verified the statement made by an Ironton person when he was a boy; that all people should rise up and call him blessed. In St. Louis, I visited Miss Phyl- lis Strobel, who is now the most noted lady doctor in America. She can actually cure chicken-pox and mumps in two weeks! Were we wrong in predicting a famous ca- reer for her? In Topeka, Kansas, I met Lona Brammer, the girl you remember who made such a hit in our class play. But alas! she tired of her name and has for many years borne the name of that Junior who al- ways made the History room so pleasant for her. Her husband is n: w a—but there! he was no class mate of ours. Two miles west of Topeka, in Grizzleford, I located two more famous characters—Mr. and Mrs. Herman Lintner. You ask, Who is Mrs. Lintner? Why, it’s Edna of course. And she is certainly happy in the possession of her “hubby.” You know that we all said that the world would hear from “Garry.” Well, it certainly has, for he has been traveling for many years with a street carnival as the leading bass singer of the Mudtown Minstrels. His wife, who has gotten over her disappointment in not getting a Teddy, is delighted with the suc- cess of her dear “Garry,” as weil she might be. Next, I turned southward to- wards Louisiana to visit a cousin of mine. On my way through Arkan- sas, I stopped for a few days at a station situated at the foot of the Ozarlcs. Here I learned that John Crickenberger was the engineer of that wonderful “slow train through Arkansas. On this position he has made a great success. How he has arisen to such a high and responsi- ble position is a paradox, but as you know, his nature was always a phenomenal one. Leaving here, [but not on the “slow train”] i visbed Mains, La , where my cousin lives. Near here, I located the boy [now a man, of course] who always stood highest in our class, Carl Hart, six-foot- two. He and his beautiful little wife, who was formerly Madge Croy, of Pomeroy, 0., were very hospitable to me. I was shown over their large plantation of 50 acres, introduced into the secret of his success, the famous “Uncle Tom’s Corn Salve,” which his wife has proved is very efficient in removing corns. After bidding farewell to this happy couple, 1 started on a trip through Texas and New Mexico. In Texas, I discovered Norman Ed- wards. He is the King of the Cow- boys, the dancing master and star of the society of Dallas. He was formerly the stage manager of that famous troop which staged “The Defender Capitulates” with such success in 1920 and 1921. In Navajo, New Mexico, I met the saddest figure of our class, Ed- ward Goldcamp. He was wander- ing from place to place and pouring forth into song the sorrow for his lost leve. I scarcely recognized in that wild, hollow-eyed man, our handsome, dashing young sport. My heart melted with sympathy as I read that famous little poem in which he tells the story of his lost love. It begins: “Once in the days of the happy past, I loved a beautiful young girl who was fast; I loved her, but she loved not me — All she wanted was a big Teddy.” Of course you know to whom this refers, and can also comprehend his loss. Soon after this sad meeting, I re- turned home and learned that in my absence, the world had been startled by the sudden appearance of a great orator and debater. You can guess most probably who it was; Mr. Emerson Marting. The statues of Webster and Burke look crest fallen, for they foresee a statue placed above them in the Hall of Fame. But Emerson never got over his admiration for brown- eyed girls, and has now shared his fame and name with a dark-eyed beauty from the South. So, you see, with you as the wife of the celebrated play writer, formerly of Ironton, the class of ’08 have with the exception of me, poor little old maid, all gained prominence in the world. Well, 1 hope all the class are as well satisfied with their destiny as I am with mine; and will not ob- ject to this little (?) summary of their conditions as I found them in 1930. Now since my tale is ended, and my ink is running low, I will close, with expectation of a speedy answer. Your friend as ever, (Miss) Lura Tufts. (Mrs. J. C. Summers, No. 1009 High Street, Columbus, Ohio.) Ct £atin Story. By HELEN ZIMMERMANN, ’08. Ante quattuor dies Kalendas Junias in anno mille nongenti et sedecem, pulchra urbs Lynna maxime permota est, quod duo notissimi homines urbis sancto matrimonio coniuncturi erant. Hi homines erant Edwardus et Katherineca. Utrique suum cursum confecerunt in Lynnae superiore ludo, Edwardus in anno rnill nongenti et octo atque Katherineca in anno mille nongenti et decem. Cum Edwardus magnificus senior esset et Katherineca pulchra secunda esset, utrique eidem Caesaris classi aderant et in eadem classe beata sollicitatio primum coepta est. Edwardus in anno sequente ad collegium ivit et interim Katherineca suum cursum in superiore ludo confecit Edwardus pluribus annis in collegio remansit et cum multas puellas videret, nullam puellam ita pulchram et caram cordi ut suam veterem Latinam amicam. Denique suum cursum in collegio confecit et domum redivit. Is statim certior factus est suam amicam innuptam adhuc esse et constituit ad Katherinecam ire et ei de suo amore dicere. Per hos annos amor eius erga eum vehementior factus erat sed ea nunquam putavit eum erg a se ita multum amorem habuisse. Post plures annos beatae sollicitationis sponsa est ei, quae res suos amicos stupefecit. Ipsorum amici eis dixerunt non connubio iungerent quod ipsis non apti essent, sed ei modo omnium aliorum haec verba audire noluerunt. Denique dies nuptiarum deluxit et quidque splendide institutum est. Post nuptias quae a multitudine amicorum visa erant, breve iter profecti sunt. Primi pauci anni nuptae vitae beato et tranquillo modo consumpti sunt. Tertio anno nuptae vitae discrimen venit. Katherineca multos rumores de coniunge audivit et sui amici dixerunt, pulchrae virgini nobili multam diligentiam eum dare. Hoc effectum habuit et ux or fidem in conjuge amisit. Certum mane epistolam in eius thalamo invenit et ea similis omnibus uxoribus id legit. Carissime Edwarde, Ego tristis sum quoniam proxima nocte non venisti, qucd plurimum desiderabam. Spero vestram uxorem nostrum consilium adhuc non invenisse et nos omnia constituturos priusquam ea haec invenerit. Clara. Katherinecae persuasum est coniugem ad se amorem non habuisse sed suas divitias amavisse. Cumdomum coniunx venisset ei epistolam ostendit. Is nullam explicationem dedit sed dixit se ipsam solam amare. Haec Katherineca credere nolebat et post pancos menses se deiunxerunt. Katherineca desertissima erat et eam paene paenitebat quod hoc occi disset. Denique Katherineca accepit nuntium discentem sibi ad deversorium statim veniendum esse, si suum coniugem vivum videre voluerit. Obliviscens quid fecisset Katherineca ut eum videret ivit. Cum advenisset, reperiebat coniugem ipsum interficere conatum esse et suam vitam conditione dubia esse. Is epistolam Katherinecae reliquit et dixit puellam commemoratam in epistola suam sororem fiusse et se ei ex difficultate opitulatum esse. Dixit se sine ea non vivere posse, itaque se interficere constituisse. Katherineca statim ignovit coniugi et dum is se melius faciebat amor inter eos rursus renovabatur Postquam convaluisset, domum suam profecti sunt et reliquum vitae cum beatitudine consumpserunt. CCctss The Class of 190S are to present a play never staged before as it was written especially for them by the Principal, T. Howard Winters. The name is “The Defender Cap- itulates but the scenes center largely about school life. Miss Lona lirammer stars as Ida Richards while Messrs Ed. Goldcamp and Emerson Martiug are the leading men the lat- ter in the title role. The play is Hull P(ay. of vivacious dialogue and witticisms and has in it some fine action. These are the chief merits, although the plot is rather clever and highly or- iginal and in places the style of com- position rises above the common lev- el. The poetry in it too, has some merits. Mr. Winters will have the play copywrighted and published at once. , , HOROSCOPE OF NAME NICKNAME Impression Given Favorite Expression Herman Lintner Garry Free-handed Come on fellers Sam Livingston ..Blassrot Not so bad I ??! ? ?.M Anna McGerty Mack Independent Jimeny Whiskers Ethyl Selb ..Silence . ...Dainty ...Oh, that’s dandy!

ASHTON EDITH S. HURST CLARA L. GABLER NORMAN F. GEYER IX MEMORIAM MISS EMMA JOHNSON, TEACHER OF MATHEMATICS. Died February 23, 1908. Prof. E. Louis Marting. IN HEAVEN- miss EMILY JOHNSON IS SPENDING HER VACATION. Probably the saddest event which has ever happened in the School's history was the death, February 23, of a beloved teacher, Miss Emily R. Jomstun. Ever since the Christmas Holidays, Miss Emily R. Johnston had been suffering apparently with jaun- dice but no one thought of her being seriously ill until one Monday morn- ing she failed to appear at school. Even hen both she and her friends expected her to improve in a few days as her constitution was excell- ent and she had not had a physician in all her life before. But complica- tions developed and one Sabbath morning she passed away. School was dismissed on Tuesday and her funeral attended by High School stud- ents and all ot the city teachers in a body. Floral tributes were sent by each H’gh School class, alumni and teachers. Miss Johnston was an alumna of our School, valedictorian of the Class of 1873. In 1S78, she was graduated with the degree A. M. from Wesleyan Female College, Cincinnati, and the following year began teaching in the elementary schools- of Ironton. In 1883 she became a High School teach- er and continued in that capacity ex- cept one or two years when she taught in the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors’ Or- phans Home at Xenia. When the High School was divided by grades she had the Second Year room. When it was divided into departments in 1905, she became mathematics teach er. Miss Johnston was an all-round scholar, especially brilliant in Mathe- matics. She was well-read and had twice visited Europe. Being a keen observer she could talk on any sub- ject from cooking to National politics. She took a great interest in individual students and by her suggestions many atta'ned success. She was fer- tile in plans for the betterment of the school and could adapt herself per- fectly to changing conditions. No teacher the School ever had was endeared to as many pupils, scatter- ed through a service of about 25 years, and her work will be remem- bered by them and her name handed down to subsequent classes, for many years to come. t.h.w; The celebrated 40-yr. old prodigy—of once, the pride and bane of Ironton’s erudition and culture—has just become possessed of the entire use of its faculties—dormant for forty-years—under the skillful treat- ment of the celebrated somnerific specialist Dr. Benj. H. Lynd, his equally efficient assistant Jessie Raine, M. D., and a staff of able physicians, E. Lillian Humphrey, M. D., and Doctors Frederick Geiger and W. Wilson Lynd. The prodigy has been the object of much compassion, deformed as it is and deprived of all advantages common to it kind. Afflicted with deaf- ness, lame, blind, dumb, and almost wholly incapicated by a premature and abnormal stroke of paralysis in its early baby-hood, it has led a life of the utmost misery and deprivation. Deserted by friends, cast out by relatives, this unfortunate being has contrived to struggle through ex- istence until the present, when the remarkable case attracted the atten- tion of Prof. Lynd. With his characeristic patience and forethought, by and with the counsel of his staff of subordinates, every emergency—attendant upon the numerous delicate operations upon the vital parts—was carefully thought out and anticipated. Prof. Lynd takes great pleasure in an- nouncing to the friends and relatives of the unfortunate, that,—with the assistance of Divine Providence, the Great Healer,—results of a complete and radical cure of the patients may be witnessed at the I. 0. 0. F. Tem- ple, May 29, 1908. The victim of this horrible complication of diseases was born in Ironton over forty years ago, about 1868. It is an orphan, and its name is I. H. S. Alumni. Knocked about from pillar to post, its home has been at divers times at Kingsbury High School—it has undergone treatment of Dr. Gray’s Sanitarium, has camp- ed out at the old “Kelley Fair Ground,” and upon one notable occasion some philanthropical spirits actually banqueted it at the Palace Hotel. “After such a vicissitude of fortune, I sincerely hope that this child of Fate may never live to rue the day which is seen to exalt it to such great- ness, and may the friends which have become interested in this hopeless creature through its wonderful cure never take occasion to desert or re- fuse to aid the noble being which has been erected, as it were, in its stead.” Yours Fraternally, BEN H. LYND, ’07, Pres. I. H. S. Alumni. 09 Tim 4umcr cmss COLORS—Blue and Wine. OFFICERS. E. Mills Humphrey............President Margaret Hopkins........Vice President Albert 0.

The light at the head of the basement stairs is often extin- guished, and students are seriously delayed in passing to and from the laboratories. It has been noticed that two of our softest-voiced Jun- iors of opposite sexes, who come up from the botany class, are al- ways late to the Vergil recitation after one of these eclipses. That most diminutive of Juniors and universal favorite among the ladies—his name is superfluous — took a little excursion one day last week in company with a girl sever- al sizes larger than himself. On the street car with them was a solemn looking passenger in min- isterial garb. After watching our friend’s antics for awhile, he lean- ed over and observed to .his com- panion: “That’s a cute child of yours, madam, how old is he?’’ The reverend gentleman opened his eyes wider when he heard the line of talk “Wobby” gave him YELL. Ridkety-radkety, hullabloo! Z i ng—boom—zi p—gazoo! Juniors! Juniors! Blue and wine! Jubilate, —Naughty-nine! than he ever did over the Book of Revelation. It is rumored that Miss Ashton was seen with a Merry Widow on; we fear that our “Dutch’’ teacher clings too fondly to the frivolities of youth, considering the responsible position she holds. Mr. Marting is often seen com- fortably ensconced in the Smoke House, enjoying a “Puff’’ and read- ing the sporting news. That’s the idea. If we’re to keep up with the times we must have teachers who are real sports, and with Mr. Mar- ting’s college ways and Mr. Win- ters’ varigated display of neckties, nobody can tell us that we’re so far behind. When it comes to a ‘ ‘show-down, ’ ’ the Juniors can produce more “pairs’’ than any class in the game. If the epidemic continues,the whole class will be paired off, and the School Board can remove half the seats on the Junior side and sell them, and buy books for the library, for what’s the use of two persons occupying two seats when one will do for both? The pace seems to be our President, who believes that it is not right for man to be alone, and usually has one or two on the string. But his present case seems to have settled down to a line of straight betting with no “calls.” And no wonder, with the “hand” he holds. SECRET OUT. DREAM OF AGES REALIZED. HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER HAS IN- VENTED MANAGEABLE AIRSHIP. We always said that our profes- sor of science would startle the world, and now the secret is out, and the Riter air-ship will soon be as well known as the Fulton steam boat. For a number of months past Mr. Riter has been working on a dirigible airship, at last his efforts have been crowned with success, and the vision which he has so often exploited before his classes, name- ly, eating breakfast in New York, dinner in San Francisco, and sup- per in Tokyo, Japan, will soon be realized. Mr. Riter will depend up on hot air to float his machine, as have similar, unsuccessful inventors before him, but he has invented a steering aparatus which insures perfect control of the ship. The idea is said to have been suggested to him by the sight of a girl with a Merry Widow hat cutting her way through a dense crowd, and a simi- lar contrivance, adapted to cutting its way through the atmosphere, will be placed on the prow of his airship. Prof. Geyer, teacher of Mathe- matics, is the only eligible gentle- man teacher in school. Thinking that it will be of interest to the gentle sex at large, we submit a description for their approval. This description was written by a friend of ours who writes the advertise- ments for a leading stock magazine, and we can vouch for its accuracy.

To his distress, she neat- ly sketched a lemon tree in full leaf, and bearing fruit in unheard- of quantites. “EQUO NE CREDITE, TENCRI.” (Junior Locals, continued.) CANTUS AD ALMAM MATREM. The I ronton High School, far and near, Is famed throughout the land, For lovely maids and noble youths, A most angelic band. But every year the Freshman dear. Glows in diminution; We fear to see what he will be Upon his graduation. If now he comes in swaddling clothes, Four years from now he’ll be A Senior, reading essays from His loving mother’s knee. The jolly little Sophomore Is only three feet tall; His little arms can scarcely reach The blackboard on the wall. But yet he vies in point of size In his own estimation, With any man in any land, Without a reservation; And he’s not lacking in his bulk, God save him from the charge! His body’s small, but then he’s big. Because his head’s so large. The Juniors are a noble class As everyone agrees; Their lordly forms are fit to deck Some ancient Roman frieze. The Junior knows, as Physics shows, How many pounds you’d weigh, If ’twere your doom upon the moon To pass your life away. And when he lays him down at night To rest his weighty head, A Vergil as a pillow lies Beneath him on the bed. But beat the drum, and strike the harp!— Then quietly withdraw:— Sit down afar—the Senior comes— And gaze on him with awe. The Senior’s brain ’twould be in vain By art of analytics, To analyze, for it defies All powors of metaphysics. And when he rolls his sheep-skin up, And to the conflict flies, We know he’ll hit the world so hard ’Twill shake the vaulted skies! The following extract is from a fragmentary tablet recently found in the Tigris-Euphrates valley; it is supposed to have been written by an Assyrian school teacher contem- poraneous with Solomon. This se- lection shows how ancient is the antipathy of that profession for the equine family. “My son, trust not to the strength of a horse, neither turn thy foot- steps to the pastures when he browseth. “Enter not in at the door of his keepers and enquire of them, Where is your stable? Exchanging for him the price of a dictionary, whan he is bound in the semblance of a pa- per-backed novel “Lead him not away in truimph, saying within thy heart, Soul, take thine ease, for verily, I will have a cinch. For he stingeth like a sweet girl graduate, and kicketh like a mule in the comic supplement. “His breath is a consuming fire, and when ye thing not, he falleth out of thy desk, and the thump thereof appeareth like unto a mighty earthquake. “And in that time a voice shall go forth, Depart thou from the company of the righteous, 0, ac- cursed of Asshur; eat the fruit of the bitter citron, and feast on the yellow lemon; for thy ways are the ways of iniquity, and thy feet tread the path of the transgressor. ” The other day we had occasion to pass by an automobile house on Park Avenue. Such a terrible rac- (Junior Locals, continued.) ket issued from within that it gave us pause. Looking inside, we saw a known student on his back, busily engaged beneath the car. He was singing a solo in second tenor, and accompanying himself with the monkey-wrench. The melody was so affecting that it brought tears to our eyes: She sits in the Senior class, And I’m but a Junior here. I must lose my sweet, alas! When she graduates this year. DAZZLING AFFAIR. BRIGHT EYES AND COSTLY GEMS OUTSHONE ELEC- TRIC LIGHTS. Grand Success was Masquerade Ball Given by the Juniors in Honor of Class oi ’08. SPECIAL BY OUR SOCIAL EDITOR. By far the most brilliant social event ever witnessed in this city took place Friday night, May 1st, when the Juniors of the Ironton High School elaborately entertained the Seniors with a magnificent Masquerade ball at Assembly Hall. The occasion was the annual Junior -Senior entertainment, which in this instance took the form of a fancy dress affair, whose regal splendor will doubtless never be equaled by any of the future. The ball-room was richly decorat- ed in a tasteful color scheme, com- bining the colors of the two classes. Silken streamers, every where, gracefully interwoven or dependent from the ceiling, floated in artificial breezes laden with odors of the orient, while a profuse arrange- ment of large palms and potted plants formed secluded nooks or long, cool avenues, in which couples could sit tete a tete, or wander, when fatigued by the dizzy mazes of the waltz. A large and well- trained orchestra, stationed on a raised pavilion, and completely hid- den behind a bower of ferns and evergreens, discoursed sweet music to the whirling couples, which, brilliantly gowned in every fashion from a mediseval baron to a Fiji Is- lander, crowded the floor through- out the evening. Snowy-necked goddesses, whose eyes outshone the diamonds which they wore, hung upon manly forms, displayed to ad- vantage in splendid costumes. Besides bowls of punch, attended by obsequious servants, which were placed about the room for the re- freshment of the dancers, an elab- orate twelve-course luncheon was served at eleven o’clock, where guest and host pledged each other in glasses of sparkling champagne, and ravishing Junior girls pinned on all present costly hot-house pan- sies as favors. Then the brilliant scene in the ball-room was renew- ed, and the delighted company lingered till the first faint flush of Aurora warned them that it was time to depart. Sophomore HocciCs. ' By HARRY BLANKENSHIP, ’10. Student — Caesar remained a strong guard. Teacher—Can you remain any- thing? Student-Yes, sir; a hobby-horse. Freshmen often are despised, Roaming ’round with staring eyes; Every time the Sophies meet, Something seems to say to me: “Harm ye not their verdant faces, Mark ye well, they fill their places; Even when summer from here has receded, No flowers for our rooms are need- ed.” Ask Lillian C. how JackL. spends his lunch hour. Irene S. has discovered that Prof. Marting is still young enough to show an affection for caramels. Why did Kavene C. change her seat in Caesar class? Ask Miss Hurst the way to Rich- ey’s hollow. ■ Wanted—Some one to love me. Doc. W. Parker (in Caesar)—All Gaul is quartered into three halves. The Soph, class has a Wagner who is a ball player, but his name is Irwin instead of Hans. HISTORY OF CAESAR. Oh, Caesar was a noble fellow, (So all historians say) To whom the Senate fixed a can. To get him out of the' way; So off to Gallia they shipped him With fighting material To rule among fieree barbarians, As king imperial. The barbarians thought that they had lived As vassals long enough, But soon found out. to theijr dismay, That Caesar was no bluff; For every time they trjed a trick To savages well known, He came along with Roman arms, And they, sky-high were blown. Now noble actions such as these Should everybody try, But wh$n it comes to writing books, They ought not be so dry; So when on his trip to Brittiany, His ships apart were broke, The Sophie doth wish, in his heart of hearts, That they had been thoroughly soak- ed. A.LONG SENTENCE. Prof. Winters —Miss Dovel, trans- late into German the sentence, “Thirty years in the penitentiary.” Miss Dovel (thinking of gram- mar) —That is no sentence. Mr. Winters—It isn’t? What do you call.a sentence—forty years? DIFFERENT THOUGHTS OF PUPILS. “I wonder,” said a Senior fair, (As with hot tongs she curled her hair,) ‘‘That recitations last so long, When we don’t have our notes a- long.” ‘‘Oh say,” replied a Junior flower, (Chewing gum from hour to hour,) ‘‘Just help me translate some to- day, And I’ll help you some other way.” ‘‘Oh Gee!” said a bold Sophomore, (Stopping to write a little more,) “I wish I had those mean old duffs, Who rubbed this writing off my cuffs.” ‘‘Oh dear!” a little Freshie said, (Trying to turn his aching head,) ‘‘I’ll get Srny mother, or my aunts, To sew a piece' on these short pants.” ' -Ex. Did you C. Carl Hug-ger? From Casey’s new Othello: ‘‘The Moor seized a lobster filled with rage, and smothered her.” Is Verna so anxious to study Vir- gil that she ca not let Howard V.’s book rest ih peace? The Soph.’s best friend (?) ‘‘How doth the busy bee improve each shining hour?” Send answer to J. D. Hayes. Prof. Marting—In olden times the liver was considered the seat of all emotions. Harry B.-Did young men call their lady loves their sweetlivers? Margurite W. is busy collecting pictures for her Art Gallery in the Assembly Hall. All contributions thankfully received. A FRIEND OF C.ESAR RYAN. First Soph. — Marcus Antonius was a close friend to Caesar. Second Soph. -That’s nothing. So is Jimmy Wolfe a good friend of Caesar. Among the colors represented in the H. S. are (Joe) Gray and (Fen- ton) Brown. In the Soph, class this year, you can find Ice, Wood, Cain, Corn, Gin(n), and Banks. You also can a Hugger, a Hunter, a Chin(n), a Horn, a Shirt, a Payne, and a Tay- lor. Wanted - A rat.

SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONS. The Literary Society is one of the successful High School enterprises. It was organized in January, 1907, at the suggestion of Miss Jessie Hutsinpillar, then teacher of Eng- Ihh Principal Winters was the first President and he was succeed- ed last January by Edward C. Gold- camp. The English teacher is ex- officio Chairman of the Program Committee, so the holders of this office thus far have been Miss Huts- inpillar and Mr. Marting. The time of meeting of the So- ciety is 7:30 Friday evening of every second week. Many of the pro- grams have been excellent, some of the best being on the occasion of open or public meetings. One of the most successful efforts was the presentation of some scenes from David Copperfield, chosen by Miss Hutsinpillar Miss Johnson as Miss Betsy Trotwood was one of the best actors. Membership in the Society has always been limited as follows: all the Seniors and Faculty; Juniors and Sophomores maintaining an average of 80; Freshmen maintain- ing an average of 90, or any student with an average of 90 in English. The number of members at present is about forty. Last Fall a fine was placed upon non-attendance or fail- ure to perform program duty and some dropped out, but those left are the workers. After business and program a social time is always enjoyed by the members. There are games and contests and usually refreshments. These features have always been well looked after. Lillian Cronacher was the first Chairman of this com- mittee, then Miss Hurst, then Miss McGerty and now Miss Ashton. To these, much of the Society’s suc- cess has been due. Many years ago the High School had a literary society, and in 1890 the feature was revived but did not continue beyond one year. We hope the present society will prove per- manent. The development of those who have attended regularly has been marked. The present officers in addition to those already named are: Sam Lfv- ingston, Vice Pres.; Emerson Mar- ting, Chairman Membership Com- mittee; Helen Zimmermann, Secre- tary; Lona Brammer, Treasurer; Mr. Winters, Critic; Edwin Mc- Carthy, Sergeant-at-Arms. Schurr’s bill abolishing High School fraternities and soroities in the State of Ohio, had but little effect on the Iron ton High School, as such societies have not been very active in the school for the past two years. In 1906 a Chapter known as the Gamma Chapter of the Iota Sigma Beta, a national high school fraternity, with the main Chapter at Chicago, 111., was organized and existed for a little over one year, with a membership of twelve. During the same year a local soroity was organized by eight High School girls, and known as the Alpha Phi Soroity, which exist- ed about the same length of time as the fraternity.

Found, by Miss Ashton last week in the Junior Class, a Virgilian pony trained to do secret work dur- ing recitation periods. Owner call at office of Mr. Winters for further inducements. Benson Davis—If we don’t know the answer to the question, what will we put down? Miss Hurst—Put down what you do know. The Botany Class is tracing the various families, with their ances- tors, of the current weeds of the hills. The Chemistry Class is putting their knowledge into practical use. One of the girls of the Class was heard to ask for a Sodium Phos- phate at Klein’s fountain. She could not tell what she got, for she did not have her platinium wire nor Bunsen burner. Juniors! Do not ride through the world on a pony. Edna Edwards and Grace Barker ought to be very good friends here lately for Edward Ward and Ray- mond Johnson are so chummy. Emerson Marting:—Life would be an empty dream—without Irene. From a reliable source:—Madge Noltie recited in Literature this morning. May her success and dim- ples increase. April 27—The Chemistry Class started on their “unknowns” to- day. Everything seemed to be un- known, even to Mr. Riter. When there is not frescoing in the study hall to exterminate the cobwebs on the walls, it is a won- der that there are so many cobwebs on the brains of the pupils? Norman Edwards asked Miss Hurst if when potatoes were intro- duced into Ireland, the Irish made potato bread. She said, “No, the Irish children all ate Mother’s bread. Why does Edna Edwards move to the rear of the Hall to study? They say Burke was an Irishman. I don’t have that bad opinion of him, but I do think he was a hypo- crite. He believes no farther than he can see, and he is near-sighted.— Elmer Flehr. To fall in love is much easier than to get rid of it.—Marie Selb. Why does Lucille linger after school is dismissed? Edward Goldcamp is trying a se- lect diet for his heart. His only de- sire for lunch at the intermission, is a Crum(b.) Why is Lona B. so happy in Eng- lish History Class? I do perceive here a divided duty between a Senior and a Junior boy —Phyllis Stroble. Not all the Seniors, after the Mask Ball, believed with Brown- ing, “A late moon is of no use to nobody.” Ted Ward (not Bud) is thought by some girls to be a woman-hater. But would they think so if they saw him after school hours? One of the precious metals in the laboratory, Gold (camp.) Madge Noltie (in History, five days out of the week)—I am not prepared. Giggle, and all the world giggles with you. —Edna E. and Norma H. Blush, and you blush alone.— Clara H. and Lena B. Irene’s favorite bird is the Mar- tin (g.) Doc to Phyllis—Du bist wie eine Blume. Norma’s mind wanders. Evening is a long way off. Perhaps she will see him earlier after the single ses- sion. Although Irene is quite friendly with the boys here, her thoughts are with one in Cincinnati — a Freshy. WANTED—To hear Lura’s gig- gle. Mr. Marting-‘‘You may take the next seventy-five chapters in English for tomorrow, and review to-day’s lesson. I will give you some extra work in class.” (Ethel to Anna: I wonder when he expects us to chew our wax.) Sweet, but timid —Nellie Deller. We all admire Crickenberger’s walk and talk. So far, there hasn’t been any toughs found in the Senior Class except Lura. H. Unrue will no doubt some day make a fine (?) artist. Anna McGerty (chewing wax) will give a practical demonstration of perpetual motion. Who hangs the pictures and dusts the piano in the Assembly Hall? A Senior boy (in search of a wife.) Asl some of the Freshmen how they figure out their deportment— Horace Bruce for instance. WANTED—To know who puts Mr. Riter next in all the love “bub- bles” of the I. H. S. If there is a current case you are not up on, just ask the Science Teacher. He un- derstands the nature of molecules. John Lucas thinks the Lily the fairest of all nature’s flowers, and Corn the sweetest ot all the grains. Where does Lintner get his color- ed stockings and yellow curls? Mr. Marting has a few “defec- tives” in English Classics. [School Locals continued.] The Freshmen are wondering if Mr. Geyer’s Greek Pi’s (3.1416) are like those mother bakes. Why isn’t J. D. Ryan a Senior? Because his name is Caesar instead of Cicero Now, what’s in a name? Norman Edwards is so pedantic that he insists that all girls past eighteen are old maids. I wonder what he calls school teachers and those that die of old age. The Cicero students are writing farce comedies now in place of Lat- in composition, with Mr. Winters as supervisor. The latest product- ion is THE DEFENDER CAPITU- LATES. What a fortunate thing that a couple of the brillant Seniors take Virgil if for nothing but to keep up the good name of the class. Miss Ashton—Where! Oh, where has my Oscar gone; With his beard cut short, and his hair cut long. Mr. Riter (making clear the metrie system) — Lucille, which would you rather have, a miligram or a mill. Lucille—Oh! I will take Mills. (H.) The Janitor reports that there have been enough handkerchiefs found in Kingsbury building, that if they were placed corner to cor- ner, they would make a line of linen from the Earth to Mars. Lura T. says: The heart of all hearts is Carl Hart. Notice, Seniors! Meeting of the Senior Bible Class after school in room I. Talk by “Bible Anne.’’ Subject: When There Is Little Known, There Is But Little Re- quired. Discussion by Norma de Saint Hoffman and Ed. “Christian’’ Goldcamp. Miss Hurst (angerly) — What Freshman threw that handkerchief across to Phyllis Strobel. Please rise. Doc Wells (a gallant Junior, ris- ing)—I can not tell a lie in harm; I did it with my own little arm. Miss Williams (in the Library)— Girls, stop talking or go straight up! There lies a deal of deviltry be- neath his mild exterior. — Wm. Sweeney. FOR SALE—My place as leading man on the Senior farce. Set your own price. E. C. Goldcamp. Local Observer: I wonder where Ted Ward and Ikey Johnson were the night of the Mask Ball? Yes, it is true Norma and Grace were not there. WANTED — More members in the Senior Bible Class. Ccfioes from tfie laboratory By ANNA McGERTY. Mr. Riter (in Botany class)—Pu- pils! Take pains, take pains with your Botany. Ruth Miller (distressingly)—Mr. Riter, I have had awful pains ever since I have taken Botany Miss Brammer (in the Labora- tory) has been thoughtlessly heat- ing her water over Mr. Livingston’s head, thinking the glow from his red hair was from a Bunsen flame. Alas! Chemistry is over. How dear to our nose is the scent of Hydrogen Sulphide, When sweet smelling odors presents it to view; Bromine, Amonia, and the heavy yellow Chlorine, And every beloved bottle the Chem- istry class knew. Just a LJttleFun. Edward McCarthy has the high- est standing in the Junior class—6 feet, 8 inches. Freshman —Where do flies stay most of the time? Mr. Winters—On bald heads. Morning after Mask Ball: We have not heard from the Juniors yet, and are wondering if any were drowned last night. Anyone would have been willing to pay $1.98 for a two-cerit umbrella about 12 P.M. Who is M. Humphrey’s American Beauty? Hurrah for the violets! Each and every one. Mr. Marting (in English)—Em- erson, how would you punctuate this sentence: “Irene coming down the street.” Emerson—I would make a dash after Irene. Hero’s to the Junior behind his book, He has truly a noble crony, But the Junior wit- the most Intelli- gent look, Is the Junior behind Iris pony. A Law of Physics: The deport- ment of a pupil varies universally as the square of the distance from the teacher’s desk. “Garry” Lintner shed a beaker of tears as he took the farewell look at his chemistry desk and dear old H20 bottle. Mr. Riter—Don’t take any more chlorine gas than you can stand, Anna, for it is a very heavy gas. I wish Edna wouldn’t have such an affinity for KOH, and that Lona would cease inventing bottomless test tubes. If I only had three more girls like those three, I would have my fortune (?) and the remainder of the class would be delighted. Herman Lintner discovered, while experimenting in Chemistry that every piece of his apparatus was cracked, except a test tube cleaner, which was not crackable. The rest of the class discovered that Herman is cracked also over a certain girl in the class. StiroCCment of tfte fronton High boot SENIORS. ’08.

Knowing that the High School students have a desire to play musical instruments, and that a number of them will take lessons during the summer vacation, Byers and Wileman, proprietors of the “Smoke House” have taken the sole agency for the Gibson Guitar and Mandolins, which are made by the Gibson Co., at Kalamazoo, Mich. Both, Messrs Byers and Wileman who have a splendid standing as musicans of more than ordinary merit, have played the Gibson in- struments for a number of years, and people in Ironton who have heard these instruments played, say that they have a tone that is unequalled by any goods of the same character on the market. It will be an advantage to persons wanting new instruments to have practical and competent musicans to deal with, and ones who have themselves given satisfactory trial of the Gibson instruments. The firm has signed a contract to make no reduction in the regular prices of the Gibson instruments, which range fram $25 to $150. To the High School Grad- uates ol 1908 and their Friends.

Until January ’08 a suitable hall could not be found for practice work, but after that Coach Mart- ing, who is an expert at the game, got' the boys in shape to play a few games before the season closed. I. H. S., 10 H. C. S., 1 On Friday, April 10th, the C. S. team of Huntington played the I. H. S. at the Princess rink. For the visitors, Faulk threw one foul. For the I. H. S., Parker arid Goldcamp each threw 1 basket and Marling 3. Stricklen and Unrue both played a good game on the offense and de- fense. I. H. S., 20 H. C. S., 13 On Friday, April 24th, the I. H. S. went to Huntington where they again won by a score of 20 to 13. At the end of the first half, the score was 13 to 5 in Huntington’s favor, but in the last minute of the game the I. H. S. boys showed what they could do. Baskets: Parker 3, Goldcamp 2, Marting 4. Fouls: Marting 2 The line-up in both games was: Ironton Huntington Marting LF Faulk Parker RF Mossman Goldcamp C Biern Unrue RG Wilcoen Stricklen LG Carr Owrey Sub. Cundiff I. H. S , 4 P. H. S., 24 On Saturday, May 8th, the old P. H. S. hoodoo got in their bad work and defeated the I. H. S. by a score of 20 to 4. Baskets for Iron- ton by Goldcamp and Marting. For the visitors, Williams 2, Harsha 2, and Haley the remainder Ports- mouth line-up was: Haley C, Will- iams and Harsha forwards, Mart- ing and Gorden guards. Livingston played in Unrue’s place for the I. H. S. Many class games were played during the season. The Seniors averaged 1,000 per cent. With the addition of Verigan, Wells, Johnson, and others who showed up well in practice, but quit to play base ball, the team next year, will be the fastest in these parts. THE GIRL’S TEAMS. One of the most interesting bas- ket ball games of the season was played at Gilmore Hall between the two girl teams of the I. H. S. The game was a fast one, and was wit- nessed by a large crowd. The line- up and score was as follows: Score 42... 37 Edna Edwards C Lillian Corn Verda Dovel F Ethel Selb Nellie Gabler F Nina McLaughlin Florence Simon G Phyllis Strobel Irene Shank G Grace Wilson Captains: Edna Edwards and Ethel Selb. This was the only public game played during the season. At. the begining of the season ’07, foot ball prospects were not the brightest for the I. H. S. Davis, Wells, Parker, Edwards, Johnson, and Livingston were all that re- mained of the ’06 team. At first no promising new candidates show- ed up, but after a few days enough were gotten together to begin prac- ticing. This team had one advan- tage over all the previous teams, E. L. Marting, 0. W. U. ’07, the new English teacher agreed to coach the boys. After two weeks of training, the season opened with I H. S., 5-1. B. C., 0. On Monday, Sept. 23rd the first game of the season was played at Beechwood park, against a team composed of men chosen from the various Business Colleges of the city. Coach Marting played full back for the simple reason that no eligible candidate had yet turned out for that position. The game was remarkably well played for the first of the season. Neither side scored in the first half, but the H. S. managed to keep the ball in the enemy’s territory. In the second half, Coach Marting and full back Mittendorf turned the game into a punting match. Marting won the match by punting the ball over the line and Hayes fell on the ball for a touch-down.

On Saturday September 28th, the gridiron heroes of the Portsmouth High School came up and got our scalps. The score was 18 to 0. Three touch-downs were made, two in the first and one in the second. Owing to no goal posts, each count- ed 6. At this time Portsmouth had the single session, while the I. H. S. had two sessions, thus giving them about t wo hours more per day for practice. The I. H. S. boys were out weighed about 12 pounds to a man. LINE-UP. 1 I.H.S. P.H.S. Livingston C R. Marting Humphrey F Pierce Parker Q Rickey Johnson RH Bennett E.

S. game. Three touch- downs and one goal from touch- downs were credited to Ironton while a large 0 was marked for Huntington. “Cap.” Johnson, Ed- wards and E. Marting made the touch-downs. I. H. S-, 0 Y. M. C. A. 0 On Saturday Oct. 12th, the Y. M. C. A. of Ashland came down look- ing for glory but they got none— neither did the H. S. The game re- sulted in a tie—0 to 0. The Ash- land boys outweighed the H. S. boys about 20 pounds to the man. Parker was switched to end and Davis to quarter in this game. Our boys showed Ashland that although they were small they could out play larger men at “straight foot ball.” THE I. H. S. LINE-UP.

A.,0 On Saturday Nov. 2, the Ironton High School played the Ashland Y. M. C. A. at Ashland. The score was 15 to 5 in favor of our oppo- nents, when they refused to finish the game. The referee forfeited the game to Ironton. I. H. S., 6 H. H. S. 6. Saturday, Nov. 30.—Huntington H. S. played at Beechwood park. The score resulted in a tie—6 to 6. Ironton made a touch-down in the first half, and Johnson kicked goal. In the last minute of the game, Marting and Wells crossed signals on a forward pass, which had it worked, would have went for a touch-down. Wright caught the pass and ran the entire length of the field for a touch-down. Ryan kicked goal, which tied the score. LINE-UP. Ironton Huntington Livingston C Brackman E. L. Marting F Wright Hayes Q Williams Johnson RH Guinn E. Marting LH Rolph Parker RE Woods Wells LE Ryan Sifford RT Hawkins McLaughlin LT Harris Hugger RG Preston Casey LG Odell LOOKING AHEAD. If no one flunks out in their studies, there ought to be a fairly good team in the High School next year. Three'will graduate—Living- ston, Edwards, and E. Marting. By developing a good center to take the place of Livingston, who has held down this position for two sea- sons, and by a few of the larger fellows, who have been afraid to try out, the team should be hotter than ever next season. Up to the time the Owl goes to press the H. S. boys have only play- ed three base ball games. The team this year is in good condition and will make a fine showing before the season closes. Davis, who play- . ed right last season is pitching, while Humphrey is catching the same game he did last year. Man- ager Wells is on first and the old reliable second baseman Johnson of last season, is still in the game. Parker, who played with the Hunk- ers of ’07, is covering third in fine style. Maxon is on short, and is showing up fine. Center fielder Verigan is doing good work at the bat as usual, while Hayes can still be counted on for good playing. Lynd, Crawford, and Wagner are showing up fine for their first year with the regular team. The ball team is under the man- agement of Albert Wells, and in charge of Captain Mills Humphrey. Jack Yates is the official scorer, and Sidney Bull, Case—0. W. U., is the umpire and coach. I. H. S., 9 A. S. H., 2 On April 25th, the first game of the season, out side of a few prac- tic games, with the Smoke House team, was played at Beech wood, vs. Ashland High. Davis let the visitors down with 5 hits and 12 strike outs. The score was: R H E I. H. S .9 ,.8 1 A. H. S .2 .5 3 I. H. S. , 5 P. H. S. , 7 On May 9th, Portsmouth High defeated the I. H. S. at Beechwood in the 7th inning. The Iron ton boys had the game won until the 7th in- ning when by wrong coaching the Ironton boys let a slow hit go be- tween first and second when the bases were full, which won the game for Portsmouth. I. H. S.,9 P. H. S., 14 On Saturday, May 16th, the High School went to Portsmouth where they were defeated by a score of 14 to 9. The game was exciting, Iron- ton being ahead one inning and Portsmouth the next. BENSON DAVIS. Much of the success of the ath- letics of the High School is due to the good playing of Benson Davis, better known as “Wobby” ’09. The foot ball team was under the man- agement of “Wobby,” who played end or quarter. Davis is a little fellow, say about five feet one, but when it comes to foot ball he counts twice as much as the tall fellow.. “Wobby” is also on the twirling staff of the base ball team-in fact, he is the whole staff. “Wobby” is a south paw, and with good support he can give them all a run for their money. Owing to some minor de- lays, “Wobby’s” smiling likeness does not appear in the Owl. Parker Stricklen Unrue Marting Goldcamp Owrey Parker Sifford Hugger Livingston Casey McLaughlin Wells Hayes, Q.

Elnor Glyn’s popular novel “Three Weeks’’ tells of some things that can be accomplished in this period of time, while we have just illustrated to you who have read this book, called the “Owl,’’ what a printer can do in three weeks. When the idea was first suggested a little over 3 weeks ago, to print a book of this kind, other printers and people who had had experience in college annuals, said it was impossible to print a com- plete paper in less than 2 months. We now agree with those who said it was impossible to print a COM- PLETE paper in the set time. Time waits on no one, and minor delays on the part of the school caused the pictures of the base ball team, the girls basket ball team, the class pin, and many others to be omit- ted. The picture of Miss Emily R. Jihnson (deceased) is lacking as she had not had a picture taken for many years. Mr. Riter of the Faculty was afraid of a snap-shot box, and for this reason we were unable to get his smiling likeness in this edition. We admit that we were very busy, in fact overwork- ed, but we were not too busy to n ake mistakes, and have made our share of them. Outside of errors, one cf our mistakes was not having the picture of the Kings- bury building. We thought that we had the picture of this building, but discovered that we did not have one, when it was too late to get one. The Talk of the Town BEE HIVE STORE. The Bail-War field Drug Co.

Twenty years hence The Owl will recall sweet memories of so very many pleasant faces and happy in- cidents of school days at dear old Kingsbury that you will tenderly treasure your copy of the paper as a link in the chain of life that holds together some of the sweetest and saddest memories of “what might have been” or “what is but hadn’t ought to be.” Thanking you all heartily, and wishing you every happiness and success that your bright and active minds may con- jure up, with never a sigh or a longing regret, we are Yours Fraternally, COLLETT BROS.
