PUBLICATION COMMITTEE OF REVIEW Orson Shaffer................................ Pres, of Class Fred Lange Avanelle Wiseman -------, — — — — ---------------------------- Editors in chief Raymond Frecka Manager Clyde Griffin Treasurer Assistant Editors George Daniel Wilma Edwards Elizabeth Williams Dorothy Ringo Johnnina Schachleiter Elsie Venz 1921 REVUE We. the members of the REVUE committee, devote this article as an effort to show our appreciation to the various business men of (ronton, who have kindly stood back of old Ironton High and helped her through her difficulties. We want to thank the business concerns and others, who have contributed in order to help pay off the athletic debt of the school. It was only through these liberal contributions that the school was able to pay off this debt. We would also con- sider it a personal favor for the students and other readers of this REVUE to patronize those merchants, who have by their kind co-operation, made possible the publishing of this edition. For some time it was thought impossible to have an Annual this year because of the large debt left over from last year, but the students by working together and serving lunches from the respective home rooms earned enough money to pay off both the athletic and the Annual debts. The editors regret that the time has been too short to allow for the sharing of thi« volume with the other classes. The cluss of nineteen twenty-one takes this opportunity of expressing its gratitude to students and teachers of I. H. S. as a whole for the interest they have taken in these lunches in order that the last year's Annual debt be paid. —Editor's Editorial In 1848 an Iron and Coal Co. came to a land rich in minerals, and so Ironton began. With the splendid locality on the river, the development of furnaces and the rich ores, the village soon grew Into the city of Ironton. Its population now numbers 15,000. In 1888 a man founded Kingsbury High School. It was a small school at first, having Just a few rooms. This school developed with the city and a larger school was soon erected. The number of students increased rapidly each year. The athletic contests have greatly added to its good name. In the fall of 1017 a new group of freshmen entered this school. The number of these pupils and the size caused a great deal of excitement. It was the largest class entered Into Kingsbury up to that time and the pupils were the smal- lest. With each yeur they have moved on aud developed. Ijoth physically and menially, until this June of 1921, they are ready to be graduated. This class had the honor of helping to make possible a new high school for the city of Ironton. This class has seen the first piece of sod lifted and the founda- tion laid. The future for the younger classes looms brightly. —Editorial by Wiseman THE CLASS OF TWENTY-ONE The time has come when we must part.

JOE BLICKLE SHIPPING CLERK IRVIN HALL CODDLES ....................... LEONA HEALD I hereby speak as one of the Senior class hone that the Juniors have success next pear. I feel sorry for some of them. They don't know how to behave in class; they make clowns out of themselves, try to act funny, sometimes act like first graders, for instance drawing the picture of their feet on the floor with chalk and such other little silly stunts. They have such good material; 1 have often wondered If they would have a CIRCUS next year Instead of a class play.
