THE 1926 OSKY WOW VOLUME FIFTEEN FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Papre I THE OSKY WOW THE YEAR BOOK OF KINNISON HIGH SCHOOL JACKSON, OHIO PUBLISHED ANNUALLY Pajre Three nf i j r rn ““rr “ ■■—■ —« ■« KINNISON HIGH SCHOOL nj-_—Lf—j-r_nr—r Page Five ORIGIN OF NAME Since this is the Fiftieth Anniversary Osky Wow, and the fifteenth edition of the book, it will not be amiss to explain to the readers the why and the wherefore of the name of the publication. When the first book was prepared, the staff held a contest for a suitable name for the book, and the winning name was Osky Wow. The name was taken from a yell, in fact, the oldest yell of Jackson High School. This Yell it seems, was originated by a “gang” of boys with “Billy” Edwin Williams as leader. At first it was a “Gang Yell”, but finally it came to be one of the High School Yells. It is a yell that has been shouted in defiance over many a hard-fought field and is yet one of the most popular, ;f not the most popular yell in existence today. So. all together now, for th° school and the book— OSKY WOW WOW! WISKEE WEE WEE! HOLY MACK-A-I! JACKSON HIGH! RAH! ; DEDICATION Appreciation is an intangible quality. It can be expressed only by some outward token. Therefore, as a concrete symbol of our sincere appreciation, we dedicate this volume, The Golden Anniversary Osky Wow, to the alumni of Jackson High School. They as associates and friends have proved themselves willing helpers and sympathetic advisors, and by their own ex-amp’es are urging us, the present students, on to higher ideals and lofty ambitions. . : I' : Page Seven Order of Books Book Book Book Book Book Book Book Book Book Book Book Book Book One........................Opening Section Two ..............................

Kinniton Through all kinds of weather, in sunshine and rain, But, facing the wind, is an old weather vane. The one that I picture, 1 see very clear— A-top of the school house, where year after year It’s pointed to windward— whatever the day— While care-free and happy, the little folks play Around the old building — with shouts that are glad, In just the same fashion as I, when a lad. J. E. KINNISON Superintendent Emeritus For years in that building, there labored a man Who came in the ’80s, as part of God’s plan. To be with the children as teacher and friend, His heart ever willing, a boy to defend; Who never forgot, that he once was a lad When called on to punish a boy who was “bad”. And who in life’s weather, its sunshine and rain. Faced always the storm, like the old weather vane. ;; Page Ten His work is now finished, with little reward, Except for a treasure of friendly regard Of men and their children, who cherish his name— And he is contented without wealth or fame. The hair that was red has long since turned to white, But the heart that is in him is happy and light. And now as he journeys down life’s shaded lane. He looks up and smiles at the old weather vane. : ■: ' ■; : ■; ; ■; LUCY B. JONES Jackson High School Principal : : : 1 •; : ; Page Eleven £ cl w«-v (f y n MARGARET D. SLAVENS, A. B.

He does for them all that he can, And helps them every day. Miss Jones is our Principal bold. She never a scholar deceives. Each word she says is good as gold. This everyone believes. Mr. Henson is a teacher good. He helps both great and small. He acts just like a teacher should And he is kind to all. Miss Martin likes to see us study, And learn more every day. Each Latin pupil she makes a buddy, And friends they always stay. Mr. Ladd at each pupil tugs, And day by day he preaches All about the worms and bugs In Biology which he teaches. Miss Lewis is one we all adore. All the scholars she has known Especially those in her own room, Will remember her when they’re grown. Mr. Jones every scholar respects. He’s coach of our Football team. He likes very much the fair sex It to us all does seem. Miss Price teaches History. She is good and true If ever the lesson seems a mystery Miss Price will lead us through. Miss Wagner and Miss Axline Are English teachers two. They to every one are kind And to every one are true. Miss Willis teaches subjects three, Science, Music and Hygiene. A very faithful teacher is she She is brilliant and is keen. Miss Deiber teaches sewing and cooking She helps us with our lesson. You can not say she’s not good looking That doesn’t keep you guessin’. Mr. Jones teaches Manual training. This he much enjoys. If you take it you’re surely gaining— Join his class of boys. Mr. Keeler has a class Whose faces he made gleam, When in this class without a lass, He organized a football team. Miss Slavens is a teacher sweet With a winning way so rare. Many like her we do not meet, The scholars all declare. Miss Carlisle likes her scholars dear. She brings them many joys. All through the entire year, She helps the girls and boys. He en Davis, a pretty maid, In the office works. By all who see her, it is said, That she never shirks. So what more could we wish to say, And what more wish to borrow? If teachers help like this today. They will h lp tomorrow. —Iva Steele Page Sixteen Arnim Fillinger, President Clarence Davis, Treasurer Walter Evans, Vice President Benton Swanson, Secretary Colors Scarlet and Silver Flower Rosebuds Motto Knowledge Heralds Success Page Seventeen ; : WALTER EVANS GWENDOLYN GLANDON JOHN HANNIGAN Face your game and play A brilliant example of A girl of remarkable in- continuous effort and achieve dustry and high ideals. it.

The Club House was turned into -a veritable fairyland by decorations in the two class colors and by baskets of flowers placed at all the tables. This is an event much looked forward to by all members of both the Junior and Senior classes and it is needless to say that the affair was fully enjoyed by everyone present. A very pleasing program was presented after the banquet, Mr. Ladd, of the High School faculty being the toastmaster. Music for the dance was furnished by a seven piece orchestra, The Vagabonds, from the Hotel Hurth, Portsmouth. This is a very elaborate affair and necessitates much work for preparation. The faculty advisors, Misses Lewis and Price ,and the heads of the social and de-orating committees, Elizabeth Jones and Narsa Lewis, are to be congratulated for its success.

It took but a few days, under the careful guidance of Miss Jones, to get us settled and interested in our new work. During our first month we found that we needed someone to manage class affairs and activities. We selected officers, who were: Cereta Arthur, president; Walden Jenkins, vice president; Lucille Booth, secretary; Marion Slavens, treasurer. They, with the help of all the class members, made a success of our Freshman year. Now our Sophomore year is almost over. Although we are fewer in number we are still mighty. At the beginning of the Sophomore year we elected leaders capable of carrying on all class affairs. These were: Maurice Lee Schellenger, president; Lewis Davis, vice president; Glendon Steele, treasurer, and Sanford Keairns, secretary. For our class motto we selected: We Learn Not for School but for Life.. Our flower is the Violet and our class colors, Green and White. Our class during this year has begun to show its worth. Many of our members belong to the Glee Clubs and orchestra. Our president was one of the winners of the Peace Declamation Contest and was also a member of the winning debating team. The Biology Club, one of the most active clubs of the year, was almost entirely composed of Sophomores. The Home Economics Club can proudly boast that its officers were all Sophomore girls. Our boys were also represented in the Industrial Arts Club. The A. and M. History Club was another Sophomore organization. But better than all those mentioned before was our great showing in athletics: We had eight football men, two basketball men, three basket ball girls and four baseball men. We are especially proud of our track men. In the track meet of class A. and B. schools held at Ironton, Floyd McCoy made a new Southeastern record for the high jump, jumping 5 ft 5 in. He took fourth place in the broad jump. Frank Althar won fourth place in the mile run and fifth in the half mile. And now we end the grand year with our class party which was a fitting climax to the year's work. All these things we have accomplished in the past and since the future always ho’ds greater things we hope to accomplish them in our Junior year. .riorpta Arthur THE FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Margaret Stephenson, President !1 Virginia Smith, Vice President Margaret McCoy, Secretary !

I boarded a dirigible bus, running from New York to Ice City, and was soon on my way at the rate of 350 miles per hour. This ship was invented by Norman Smith. The bus line is owned by Merrill Elliott, a millionaire. The chief operator of this ship is Levert Hutchinson. Soon Ice City was in sight. There are many skyscrapers here, the tallest is owned by Roy Ray. The streets run like spokes from a wheel. In the center of these streets is a huge cylinder built on the North Pole. It is a radio heater invented by Alvin Shick. It sends out heat by radio; and everyone has a radio set to receive the heat. The heat is also distributed over the city making it like summer anywhere inside the corporation. This heater is operated by Vance Lee-dy; the owners being Messrs. William Fite and William Davis. The president of the company is Gwendolyn Cory. The Mayor of the city is Heber Reigle; Sheriff, Marshall Carlisle; Judge Elizabeth Kraatz; and Chief of Police, Helen Mae Eisnaugle. These are very competent officials. A wonderful High School, modern in every way, is on Glacier Ave. The Superintendent of Schools is Carl Baehr and the Principal is Helen Strosnider. The High School teachers are: Carolyn David, Latin; Francis Brown, Algebra; Frank Shadrach, English; James Wilson, Home Economics; Mildred Martindale, Science and Biology; Margaret McCoy, History and Geography; Lucile Duhl, Hygiene; Dwane Whitaker, Maual Training; and Margaret Watson is the Music Instructor. Located on a beautiful site on Snow' Ave. is the community Hospital it is managed by Avanel Cramer. The chief surgeon is Louis Fenning (he is know-n as the bloody surgeon). His assisting doctors are Homer Gray and Milliard Queen. The Hospital is divided into tw'o wards: For the insane, Chief Nurse, Virginia Smith; For sickness and injuries, Chief Nurse, Iva Steele; and the assistant nurses are Mary Merle Walker, Mary Dobbins and Margaret Masters. In the next to the largest building in the city (it is 700 stories high) is located the “Hourly Iceberg”, the city’s leading newspaper. This is owned by Lauretta Jenkins and Flora Evans. The editor of the paper is Walter Carpenter. His assistants are: Betty Ervin, Society Editor; Quiller Scott, Cartoonist; Kenneth Davies Business Manager and John Hughes, Janitor. Just across the avenue is the Cold National Bank. The president is Ra'ph Hess; Vice president, Helen Conway; Cashier, Elizabeth Ray; and the stenographers are Elizabeth McCoy, Winifred Wyant and Clara Dauber. This bank has a capital of $5,000,000. It wras organized by Carl Martin, financier. The controlling stock is owned by Thomas O. Davis and Charles Brunton. The city Postoffice is on the city’s busiest corner. The postmaster is Blaine Haley. The assistants are Margaret Young, Mary Alice Martin and Dorothy Ritchie The mail is delivered by aeroplane. Roy Deering, Floyd DeLong, Heber Schellenger and Willard Woodruff are some of the pilots of the mail planes. There is an Aeroplane filling station on Wind Ave. owned by Arthur Wycle. He sells aeroplane gasoline and oil made especially for him by the H. McKiniss Refining Company. On Cold Ave. is the greatest church in the world. It is a combination of all of the religious sects in the world. The pastor of this church is Dwight Nichols. The (Continued on Page 120) A FEW ALUMNI As a bit of variety, we have on this page a picture of some of the Alumni of K. H. S. To some of you of the present day, this picture may seem very queer, or strange, but to the ones in it, and to ones who knew them and do know them now, it was quite the correct thing in its time, and a print of the same is treasured very highly. To you who were acquainted with any of the students in the 90’s, see how many of these that you know before looking at the names. The persons who are in ihe picture are as follows:— (Left to Right) Top Row—Dave Armstrong and Carl Lively. Second Row—David Griffith, James Carrigan, Dan Crossin, Lamar Stern-berper, Rufus Peters, Will Wangler. Third Row—Will Martin, Sam Smith, Minnie Hill, Sarah Porter, Grace Gilmore, Abe Phillips, Ambrose Evans,, Lloyd William, J. E. Kinnison. Fourth Row—Lucy B. Jones, Kate Chestnut, Nellie Branson, Bertha Holcomb, Bertha Miller, E la Evans, Madge Bertsch, Clate Trago, Kate Edwards, Mat-tie Newvahner. Front Row—Carrie Hood, Romane Aten, Martha Swift, Susie Brookins, Clare Lewis, Mabel Goddard, Margaret Evans, Amy Downing, Madge Thomas, Minnie Lloyd. There are at least twro in the picture whom everyone knows. Miss Lucy B. Jones and Mr. J. E. Kinnison. The youngster sitting in the front row on th right next to the end is Madge Thomas. She sure was lucky to be visiting school the very day that “pictures were taken”, for it was a rare thing in those days. Page Fifty-seven -? Dear Editor:— Thirty years after! A long, long while. Yet it’s true, for among my early keep-sakes is a battered gold ring, with 96 in bold, black enamel. So it’s old grads we are. Merely to admit membership in that peerless class stamps us unmistakably as such. However, in fairness to some of us, you must understand that they turned ’em out very young in those days,—very, very young, indeed. Witness the fact that Mr. Kinnison (even then a noted coon-hunter) once interrupted an exciting game of marbles (with Jim Morgan,—and for keeps) and explained to me in scandalized tones how' this was hardly dignified sport for a high-school junior. His notion of the fitting thing was to stack us up, as seniors, against an inquisition known as the county teachers’ examination. As I remember, this cost me an entrance fee of fifty cents, and proved my first unprofitable investment. Thirty years ago! The big corner room in the “Old Building” housed juniors, sophomores and freshmen alike. John R. Smith, sterling gentleman, taught everything to all of them, and was kept right busy. Once in a while Judge Tom Jones came down to help with the singing. We seniors were privileged beings, spending a couple of hours a day reciting to Mr. Kinnison in his office over the front stairs and otherwise leaving him free for disciplinary purposes. Outside of school there w'as much to interest one. Kipling was w'riting his greatest stories and Sousa his most stirring marches. The tandem bicycle was in high favor, but buggy-riding had not been supplanted. The G. A. R. w'as good for three or four bean dinners a season, Canter’s Cave even then was an established picnic spot and there wfas always the seasonal run of parties,—ice-cream, strawberry and watermelon,—invariarbly terminating in a f’ashlight photograph. Politics were seething. Jackson was shortly to immortalize itself through the first big barbecue at the Fair Grounds. William McKinley rode down Broadway in an open carriage, lifting his hat repeatedly at the cheering. Mark Hanna was kodaked in front of the Gibson House by Elizabeth Harding. We sang “The Bird in the Gilded Cage” or “There’ll be a Hot Time”, and everybody copied Bibson. Incidentally, as Spring wore on, we worried just a little over our graduating orations. All at once Commencement was upon us, the culmination and the climax of it all. In our minds it marked, perhaps, something near the pinnacle of human achievement. After the glorious excitement of that night and the ensuing Alumni BANQUET, what thrill, pray tell, w as left for life to offer? It is 7:30. The Rink, packed to its deepest recesses, is bright with spluttering lights. A steady buzz of conversation ends abruptly as the curtain lifts. Seventeen graduates are seated in a wide half circle, the girls, in stiff, white frocks of starchy organdy, alternating with the boys in “the conventional black”, with high wing collars, white bow ties and boutonnieres. On a taunt wire high above the foot-’ights, hugr block letters (probably by Albert Moriarty) of cardboard covered with tinfoil and evergreen, spell out the class motto, FORTITER, FIDELITER, FELICITER. (For translation see the back section of your cross-w'ord dictionary.) The class chorus is rendered w’ith befitting nervousness, the invocation is spoken and we are under way. (Gee, I hope my collar doesn’t wilt). Orations, then orations, and still more orations. Seventeen orations. They launch out bravely in varied directions. Frank Stevenson sings “A Song of Labor”, Marne Davis talks of “Common Courtesies” and Jessie Thomas of “False Faces”. Margaret Sternberger meditates on “Singing Out of Tune”, Carrie Walters on “Sunshine and Shadow'” and Carrie Gilliland, forecasting the eighteenth amendment, on “The Sober, Second Thought”. One subject is sadly prophetic,—Laura Dungan’s “A Half L;fe and Half a Life.” In later years we are to know that onlv ha’f a lifetime is to be given th's splendid woman, but that there will be crowded into it a wealth of useful serv’ce far surpassing the total of most lives. The boys go in heavily for political questions, and many an epoch-making reform originates on the stage tonight. Oscar Gilliland, from Mabee, demands “Restricted Immigration”: (that was thirty years ago, and now' wfe have it). Some one divulges the secret that, through “Saxon Grit”, America has alw'ays won its w'ars: (it I Page Fifty-eight has won three since). Tom Hoover, who lives out Liberty way and therefore knows their need, argues eloquently for “Good Roads”: (they were a long time coming, but we got them finally, thanks to Tom). 1 The evening moves on. Occasionally some one sings or the Mandolin-Guitar C.ub tunes up, but mostly it is orations, just orations. The audience shows signs of restlessness, but is game. Now the seventeenth, Sam Moore, approaches the footlights, opens the valedictory, concludes. There is lusty and sustained applause. The nineteen , stand, listen to a few words of golden wisdom and clutch their be-ribboned diplomas. All is over, save the rush on John Alexander’s framing department on the morrow. Queer, old-fashioned customs, you say? Ah, yes, we grant you do it so differently now, and probab!y so much better. But you moderns must know that we thought pretty well of what we were doing, way back there in “the gay nineties”, and were terribly serious about it all. We were happy about it, too, for Jackson then, as now, was a kindly spot, full of genial, neighborly people and, withal, a good-( , ly place to live. Cordially yours, Buffalo, N. Y. Bertram S. Stephenson Mr. Clarence Davis, Editor, Library Plaza Hotel, Evanston, Illinois The Osky Wow, Kinnison High School, February 5, 1926 Jackson, Ohio. Dear Sir: Your statistics of the class of ’21 interested me. Five years seem terribly short when considered in retrospect, but as I realize that they have been long enough to see two members of the class ushered into another world, and seven into still another world, that of matrimony, those five years seem much longer. They have probably wrought greater changes upon Kinnison High School than any previous five years in its history. They have seen the retirement of one of the finest superintendents that any school has been privileged to have. It is most fitting that his name has been given to the institution to which he gave the greater part of his life, a life that saw three generations come and go. I was graduated just as the new building was fully completed, and the curriculum was largely the same then as it had been for many years before. The course was a broad academic one which I found to be an excellent preparation for college. That course, I think, accounted for the h igh percentage of graduates who entered universities, and, to a large extent, for their success in those institutions. But the needs of a changing world demanded a reorganization which seems to have been a beneficial one to the school. In spite of the many changes, there are still a few things of which I took advantage that still remain for the present classes. Highest among these is the fact that three members of the faculty of ’21 are still in their old place in '26. I shall always look with pleasure upon the days spent with Catherine R. Martin in the Latin department. Miss Martin’s method of teaching made Latin interesting, and I feel that the linguistic foundation I gained is invaluable to me in the profession I am following. I sincerely hope that future students in the school will take advantage of the cultural background which the Latin course offers. Lucy B. Jones and M. A. Henson are the two other faculty members who had great influence upon my high school work, and they still remain to offer mathematics and history in a thorough way to the young people of the town. Unfortunately a true appreciation of the inspiration offered by these three experienced teachers seldom reaches us in our high school days, but the realization comes to us in college that they are giving their lives to our best interests with wonderful success. But a scant five years allows license for little reminiscence. In closing may I hope that the Kinnison High School may enjoy another half century of true value and progress which will be a worthy successor of the first. Northwestern University, Very sincerely, Evanston, Illinois, Ted H. Gerken. Page Fiftv-nine REMINISCENCES JUDGE T. A. JONES In the spring time fifty years ago, four ungainly, gangly youths, with school books under their arms, walked down broadway street to tne Jackson Hign bcnooi building. They each wore paper collars and narrow string ties, for those were uie fashion for boys a half century ago. Once in a while we seniors would secure a celluloid collar for special wear Sunday and on important occasions. Those were times when lrugaiity was practiced in the home, when the simple life of the village was much more self-centered than it is today. This quartette of boy seniors, waiting for the second ringing of the school bell, were deep in the discussion of an important event, —sometning that had never before occurred in the village. That year—1876—was our centennial year. Tins was the lever that moved the school board to action and which aroused that eventful discussion between the four youths who w'ere to graduate the following April. “Say Tom”, said one of them, shifting lrom one leg to the other, “What’s going to be the subject of your oration?” “I don’t know Will”, was the answer, “I’m going to see Superintendent Pa-dan about it, what’s yours?” “Mine’s going to be ‘Centennial’ ”, said Will, “and I’ve got it partly finished Say Elwood, what----------?” The boy just addressed spoke up: “I hunted in the dictionary ’till I found a subject”, said young bickason; “It’s going to be a corker”. The fourth youth was about to join in the discussion, but just then the last bell sounded cal.ing the seniors into the school building for their morning class in “Cicero.” The first graduating class of the Jackson High School was composed of four boys, each barely over sixteen years of age. They were popularly know’n as Rip McGhee, Will Longborn, Elwood Dickason and lorn Jones. 'Ihey were very proud of the honor of soon graduating and, no doubt, thought that substantially the entire village would be present to hear the wonderful sentiments w’hich they, as graduates, wfould present later in ornate, oratorical periods. The school board had agreed to stage our first high school commencement, if ways and means were found to pay for the diplomas and a.l other expenses. I recall very distinctly that, after much urging upon the part of our Superintendent, assisted by the quiet outside influence of others, the school board announced, that if these first diplomas were to be real parchment and properly engraved, they would be quite costly, (I think the estimate was $15.00 for the four); but if we could see our way to cover this and the expense of a public hall, the commencement cou d be held. Ways and means were speedily found. We secured a hall in the third story of the “Gratton block” for the commencement exercises and decided to charge fifty cents for every adult who desired to hear us. I don’t recall whether there was a charge for children or not. Neither do I recall that there were any of those youngsters present. I doubt it. I know' I was doorkeeper and that I was tendered a silver half-dollar by some one for admission. In those days those coins w’ere not in circulation. Paper money was the vogue altogether. I rep aced that coin with a paper half-dollar and kept the silver coin many years thereafter as a pocket piece. At that t'me the western half of the third story of the Gratton block was occupied by the Masons, the eastern half being the only hall I believe where public entertainments, including shows and theatricals, were then held. The seating capacity : was very limited, but in those days, to us boys it seemed limitless in its immensity. On this night—April 28, 1876—the hall was quite full, but I doubt whether any of the four young graduates could discern any acquaintance among the audience, so stage stricken were they. I know I couldn't. But w’e had prompters behind the scenes and I recall some applause when I came to earth again at the end of my oration This was the order of the exercises, and the names and subjects of the respective graduates: Oration, “Under-currents —Ripley H. McGhee. Oration, “Washington and Bonaparte —Thomas A. Jones. Oration, “Genius —E'wood B. Dickason. Oration, “Centennial —William A. Longbon. I could not now quote a single sentence from my own oration, but my wife says I have it somewhere in the house. But frankly I am afraid to look at it, for fear of a present day disgust at an effort which, at that time, I no doubt thought worthy of the Hall of Fame. I distinctly remember that Elwood Dickason started his subject, “Genius , with a definition from Webster's Dictionary. We other three boys used to chaff Elwood not a little, frequently reminding him that his long definition taken from Webster embodied nearly half of his oration. What momentous events have occurred since then! Our country has since passed through two wars. The village is now a paved city, with water facilities, with telephone and electricity, with automobiles and radios; with conveniences and communications that make people of Jackson and adjoining counties intimate neighbors. Had any one fifty years ago the temerity to prophesy the wonderful results of inventive genius which we enjoy today, he would have been branded as less than half-witted. Of the four youths who stood on the school pavement in that bright spring time, two have passed over the Great Divide,—Rip and Will have graduated from this into another life! It was not expected that the four eight or ten minute orations would yield the audience the worth of their money, so we supplemented the program and no doubt increased our audience, by allowing younger undergraduate “Kids” to display themselves on the stage. Of course the school sung a “Commencement chorus . Frank Stemberger and Ra‘ph Hood declaimed,—the first on “Influence of Knowledge , the latter on “The Dignity of Labor . Between those two, little auburn haired Lucy Jones read an essay termed, “School Life . Well, Lucy has had a lot of it for the last, — (I won't say how many years.) But I imagine there are many, both parent and child, who can call her blessed. Then Flora Dickason sang. In fact she was on the musical program three times, so she must have had a very good voice for a “Kid —One of her songs “Gathering SheMs from the Sea Shore was very appealing to the boys and girls of the day. Dora Hoop sang “Lone Rock by the Sea ; Anna Vaughn recited “The New Church Organ . Flora Dickason recited, “Caudle has been made a Mason ; Lizzie Gardner had an essay on “Intemperance , and sang a song called, “Say No immediately afterwards. Then there was a quartette composed of “Misses Dickason and Vaughn; Messrs. Nickell and Jones. Whether this boy, Jones, was I or not, I can’t remember. After the presentation of diplomas, the program closed with a duet by “Misses Dickason and Hoop . We all then traipsed down the two flights of stairs to atmosphere more mundane—and so ended the first graduation exercises of the Jackson High School,—fifty years ago! Can you imagine it? And yet, I feel as spry as any co t in Elwood Dickason's pasture field! ■ Page Sixty-one IN RETROSPECT A half century ago seems to have been a most favorable time for auspicious beginnings. The fiftieth anniversary of the patenting of the Bell telephone, the world's most useful instrument is a fact of world-wide interest today. Baseball, the great national game claims added attention this year from an increasingly enthusiastic public for it also is now fifty years old as an American institution. The typewriter, too, appeared during this centennial year. Of more local significance is the Golden Anniversary of our High School. This year's class is the fiftieth one of its history. Fifty years is not a vast period of time, but in the last half century the world has made greater scientific, industrial and general progress than was made through all preceding centuries. Just how much of this growth is due to education should be an interesting question to consider. The beginning of the Jackson High School was not unlike the beginning of any other similar institution in a small town in the middle of the nineteenth century. The size of the building, the corps of teachers, and the first graduating class were small and comparatively inconspicuous. “Old Central on Broadway was completed in 1854 and housed all the school children of the town. It appears that many years elapsed between that time and the forming of high school classes. The first class consisting of four boys, two of whom, Judge T. A. Jones, Columbus and Ellwood B. Dickascn, Akron, are both still enjoying active careers, was graduated in 1876. The commencement exercises were conducted on the second floor of the old Gratton Block. This room is now used as a lodge room. Ripley H. McGhee and W. A. Longbon of the same class, have passed away to that higher schol. Did you know that Mr. George Paden former Superintendent threatened dire things if the board then incumbent did not permit the classes finishng school t have commencement exercsies? The funds realized by an entertainment given by four girls, one of whom was Miss Lucy B. Jones, while she was still in her early teens, defrayed the expenses of the first commencement including the purchase of the diplomas. Another incident worthy of passing note refers to the first time a class yell was perpetrated upon a greatly shocked populace. The sixteen members of the class 1887 were the culprits. This outward burst of youthful exuberance placed the class in disgrace indefinitely. Everybody apparently recovered from it, even the leader, Irvine Dungan, who is now a prominent Presbyterian pastor at Troy, Ohio. How different now! With our cheer leaders and all our various vociferous stunts. It is a case of O Temporal O Mores! Space does suffice to catalogue other equally interesting and entertain ng happenings of yesteryear. The men associated with the early history of the high school in its superintendency, were the following: Moses Gilmore, Jas. W. Longbon, Chas. S. Smart, who afterwards became State School Commissioner, Irvine Dungan, later United States Congressman, Wm. Taylor, George Paden, Mr. Yarnell, Moses J. Morgan, W. D. Lash, J. J. Allison and J. E. Kinnison. S me early Principals were: Miss Kate Dwyer, R. R. Bain, E. J. Price, and E. W. Patterson. Within our own memory we recall J. H. Newvahner, John R. Smith, Mr. Myers, G. W. Parrot, Jasper Shumate and M. A. Henson. All rejoice that Mr. Henson remains with us for he continues to be the county's Dean of teachers and his inf ctnus enthusiasm for th? profession never wanes. His history and civic courses retain crustwhite popularity. It would be a happy task if one could go on a little more into detail in the treating of the activities and achievements of those pioneer teachers who so firmly established our high school. Since that is well-nigh impossible let us honor their memory for their initiative displayed and fer the struggles they must have encountered in the early days. It must be fairly admitted notwithstanding arguments to the contrary that in many respects teaching now is more attractive than then. The desire to become an educated parson is more prevalent and the willingness to abide by the laws governing: public instruction is more evident. Competition in life is keener now' and to meet this conditon one must be more intelligent. Indeed one of the colorful moments of a youth in his eighteenth year, or thereabouts, is the waving above his head the coveted document and exclaiming—“My diploma, by gosh!” Space prevents a comparison of curricula covering this period. English, Latin, Mathematics, History and some little Science were required and no electives were offered until a more complex system created it. Scentific studies, perhaps, have had greater growth than the others. A special teacher of science and a laboratory are essentials now. Foreign language and mathematics are no longer requisites for graduation. The class of 1926 will probably contain a few more than eighty boys and girls. When its members receive their diplomas the sum total of “grads” will be one thousand, one hundred and fifty-two. Seventy-nine persons finishing our school have been graduated into a higher life by the Master Teacher. Today, April fifteenth, when this sketch is being typed for the press the sad news of the death of an alumnus, Volney Benton, is received. Volney was of the class of 1908 with seven other boys and sixteen girls. His passing is the first of this group to record. At the time of his death he was Editor of the Jackson Herald and was enerally esteemed for his ability and courtesy among the newspaper men as well as by all who knew him. In recent years the colleges have claimed a considerable number of our graduates for further study. The greatest innovation is the addition of the Industrial Arts and the Home Economics departments to our curriculum. Two portable houses placed opposite each other, located between Kinnison Hi on Portsmouth Street and Central on Broadway, are used for these purposes. The boys and girls pursuing these courses are interested and happy in their work which is attested by the many useful and beautiful article on display at our Auto Show, and elsewhere during each year. This department was established five years ago during the last year of Mr. Kinnison’s superintendency. Of no less importance is the Commercial Department under the capable supervision of Miss Elizabeth Lewis. One wonders how our system would have survived without this useful and much needed course of commercial studies. The typing room occupies the old office at Central, where some dictation is also given. The other classes are held at the school building proper. This necessitates some traveling across the school yard by the members of the department but they apparently do not seem to mind it at all. The strength of this department is shown by the positions held of its two year students who desire them both in Jackson and other cities of the State. By no means must one forget to mention our music. Glee Clubs for both boys and girls and and orchestra have regular periods for practice and instruction. For three successive years the girls' glee club captured the high school Eisteddfod prize. Since Mr. Glandon's incumbency the townspeople have the added enjoyment of a school Eisteddfod held in April where the high and grade school musicians take competitive parts. Just when music was offered as a study to our high school is not known to the writer. One of our findings is that grades were given for it in 1899. Undoubtedly music has always been in recent years our most delightful study with the possible exception of some of our language courses. Athletics for the beys have always had a large place on our program. For two years the girls have had signal success in basket ball games with near by schools. Lack of an auditorium prohibits much activity in dramatics; however, for many years the Junior and Senior classes each year have presented most credibably a play coached by the Junior English teachers. The sum realized from the Juniors' p!ay helps finance the biggest social event of the year when they entertain the Seniors and faculty with Junior-Senior banquet. Clio, the Muse of History would stop the pen of he writer were she not to honor in common with hundreds of others the memory of him who is called the Grand Old Man of Jackson. For over forty years Mr. Kinnison was the head of our school system. To have basked in the blessings of his scholarly intellect and cour- (Cont;nued on Page 148) Dear Editor and Staff: Words cannot express my appreciation at being invited to give a few expressions to the High School Annual. $ It gives me the greatest pleasure to give to you some treasured thoughts on so memorable occasion. It also revives my High School spirit and brings back the memory of by-gone days. But it is rather difficult for me to explain how it feels to be the mother of a graduate, when the strongest feelings I have are like an awakening from a dream. It doesn’t seem possible that twenty-one years ago I was a Senior of J. H. S.,—’05;—and now those years having slipped by on the wings of time, I find myself today the mother of a graduate. But let me tell you that after your school life is ended, the time practically flies and we mothers feel like it has been such a short time since we started our boys and girls to school and now they are graduates. It fills our hearts with gladness to know that they have reached the goal for which they have been striving, and it brings to my memory the words and thoughts of our Class Song:— We come, we come a class whose school work’s done, With happy hearts into the future gaze; But still our song has one sad strain, With it ends our glad school days. Life is a school we are told, Class, In which we learn day by day, Lessons as useful, perhaps as these. But not in the same old way. But let’s not be grieving, because we are leaving The school—but all honor to it give By making each day, as it passes away, The better because we live. Clouds come quickly sometimes, Class, Should your heart faint in the strife— Then may the lessons we’ve learned here, Prove not for school, but for life.” Wishing the Staff and members of this year’s class both happiness and success, I am, Yours very truly, Mrs. J. B. Fillinger. r ■ « � ■ � O - Mr. J. Clarence Davis,. Editor, The 1926 Osky Wow, Jackson Ohio. Dear Mr. Davis: Flagstaff Ariz. April 2, 1926 It is with a great deal of pleasure that I comply with your request to wri.e a bit for the 1926 Osky Wow. Osky Wow! The very name brings back many, many memories - days when Ray Johnson and I and Nellie Steveson and Charley Davis and all the rest worked our heads off(?) to try to make the 1918 yearbook a success. We thought we had attained the very acme of perfection then, and yet how small the 1918 Osky Wow seems when compared to some that have been published since then! We started something that year that I wonder if you still keep up. That was the idea of having staff meetings around at the homes of the different members. I can still remember the wnnderful cake that Charley Davis’s mother used to make for us, and the way Tom Washam used to make away with it. I suppose with the growth of the high school that your staff is now too large to keep up that custom. And old Jackson High herself - we used to think we were imposed upon many t'mes, and yet they were really very happy days. Miss Catherine Martin, Mr. Kinnison, Miss Lucy B. Jones, our old Senior instructor Mr. Shumate - for them and for all the rest I shall always have the highest feeling of regard and respect. If any of your 1926 graduates want to grow up with the West send them down here to Arizcra. It isn’t all descit in spite of what people imagine it back there! Flagstaff, for instance, is 700 feet in the mountains, and I see more snow here in one winter than I ever saw in Jackson in all n.y life. The surrounding country is covered wth heavy pine forests, yet by a 6 hours automobil :’de we can do cvend to vast Roosevelt Valley, where snow is never found, ai d where orange trees, dates, figs palms and grapefruit orchards are everywhere. Snow'-c’ad mountains in the morning orange groves in the afternoon Thi,s is the variety that Arizona offers. Talk about climate! Arizona has every kind in the spaje of 800 miles. There is a great future for this entire Southwest. The population of Arizona has more than doi b e ’n the ’ast t n years, and with the completion of new' irrigation projects, the growth w’ill be much greater. Yet the old West still survives. Cowboys still ride into town on their broncos, Navajo and Hopi Indians are everywhere, and the land is full of romance Lnd Aiteuom. But the West is progressive, too. We have a new $800,000.00 high school building here and it is as nice as anything I have ever seen in Columbus or Cleveland. Well, I’ll close. B2St wishes for the 1926 Osk.v Wow. Sincerely, Head, Commercial Dept. Flagstaff Public Schools Corl L. Parry, ■ Page Sixty-five Memories CHARLES S. KINNISON I trudged along a path today, Which, in my fancy, led Not to the school-house down the way. But back to Youth, instead. Beneath my arm, there chanced to be Two little books, and so It all somehow reminded me Of school-days long ago. And when I reached the school, it seemed. Despite its walls of stone, The old-time school of which I dreamed— Which, as a child, I’d known. And as I stepped within the door. My eyes were blind to all The modern things—the polished floor— The glistening stair, and hall. And 'cross my mind there flashed the scene Of old school buildings, which Perhaps were not so fine and clean, But yet in joys were rich. The floors were splintered, and it's true The walls were none too bright, But yet, somehow, it seemed to do— We seemed to learn all right! But still I'm sure the tykes today Are better trained than we. And yet, I find it hard to say That they could smarter be— It's true the world has moved ahead. And times have changed a lot, But, truthfully it may be said. That little folks have not. Page Sixty-six •-v. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB OFFICERS Cereta Arthur 28 President Mary McDonald ’28 ................................ Vice-President Jeanette Jones, ’28 Sec’y.-Treas. The Home Economics Club was organized at the beginning of the school year, September 1925. There were forty-five members who were Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Meetings were held at the High School building or at the Home Economic building. These were very interesting and the programs good. A Hallowe’en party, a Christmas party and a Kid party were enjoyed by the members. The Club held several Candy Sales at the high school building, by which they raised money to buy equipment for the Home Economics building. During the Automobile Show of 1926, the Club had a wonderful display of all the different garments which they had made during the year. Our success this year is due in a large part, to our teacher, Miss Dieber, and all the members of the club are well pleased with their work of the past year. Page Sixty-seven INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB On January, 1926, the Manual Training: Classes decided to cooperate and organize a Manual Training, or Industrial Arts Club. Upon holding a meeting to select officers, the following were elected: Merrill Simmons ......................................... President William Wykle ...................................... Vice President Paul Brunton .............................. Secretary - Treasurer Duwane Whitaker ............................... Athletic Manager The Club has had a series of good activities during the past, including a sleighing party, basket ball game at Beaver, several games a home, and the monthly Club meetings, which have proved a great success. On March 22 - 23 the Club sponsored “The Live Wire”, by which a nice sum of money was cleared. By these various activities the Club has proved very successful The members of the Club also had a very admirable exhibit at the recent American Legion Auto Show. By these various activities the name “Industrial Arts” has become well-known as a school club. Paul Brunton, who has handled the position of Secretary - Treasurer very systematically, left the club on March 30th. Edward Barlow was appointed to fulfill the position. The Club has planned a banquet at Keystone, which will probably be the largest activity the Club has sponsored throughout the entire year. The Industrial Arts Club has proved very successful this year, and it is hoped that it will be even more successful throughout the coming years. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB —OFFICERS— Ellen Wick ...................................... President Elizabeth Gahm ............................. Vice President John Hannigan ................................... Secretary William Ervin Treasurer Since the members of the Public Speaking Classes expressed their wishes that the good work of last year’s Public Speaking Club be continued, Miss Wagner, the faculty advisor, arranged for the reorganization of the club early in the first semester. The meetings of the Club are held every two weeks on Thursday at the School Building. The first part of the meeting consists of a short program, and the latter part of an enjoyable social time. Valuable training is gained by all those who take part in presenting the program, since this is an esential feature of Public Speaking work. Miss Wagner has been untiring in her efforts to make the Club a success and certainly deserves the gratitude of each and every member of the Club. The officers of the Club are also to be congratulated on their success in presenting such enjoyable programs and in carrying out the wishes of the Club in so efficient a manner. The members of the Club especially wish to have the Club reorganized by the class of '27 � « � S Page Sixty-nine ■ v THE 1926 OSKY WOW STAFF J. Clarence Davis .. George Roderick ...................

This, thj 1926 Osky Wow, is the result of an attempt toward that goal. Whether we have succeeded, or not, is left for you to decide. We wish to thank everyone who has been in anyway responsible for the publication of this annual; the students who have contributed and especially the alumni who have s nt in the letters and articles which appear on the pages of the Aiumni Sec ion of this book. Of the greatest importance has been the financial a'd rendered by the merchants. They, with their generous advertising, have made this book possible. They are the ones who have stood by us year after year and are the ones who are worthy of your patronage. So here’s to the Annua and the School.

The girls have been hard at work since the beginning of the school term ( and as a result have afforded cur city some delightful entertainments during the last winter. . One of the most pleasing events was a Musicale, in which the entire club took part in different ways. ' A High School Eisteddfod was held in the last month of school and much interest was shown by the large number of competitors for each number. The girls are now hard at woik on the music for the annual Eisteddfod, which will be held in the fall Although th? Club will lose many of its singers who are now Seniors, they still feel confident of victory when the big daiy arrives. On the whole we feel quite proud of our girls for their talent, their readi ness to get together and work, but we feel that we would not have had the delightful and ( successful year if it had not been for the efficient tqadning of Miss Vivian Willis, 1 our Music directress. Page Seventy-five BOY'S GLEE CLUB “0 : ’ :• ‘ r :■ :• 1 I i; The Boy's Glee Club was reorganized this year under the leadership of Miss Vivian Willis. It is. composed of fifty boys from all of the classes in High School. John Hannigan has been selected as manager of the club. Their first public cppearance uas in the touMeale given by the Music Department of Kinnison High School at the Grand Opera House, March 16, 1926. Foi their splendid singing here, they received much applause and praise from the music lovers of the city. Miss Willis achieved much praise for her achievements with the Boy's Club. The public always appreciates boy's chorus work and individual singing. In April the club was divided into two choruses for tin High School Eisteddfod. The Sophomores and Juniors in one chorus led by Charles Chapman and the Freshman and Seniors in the other chorus led by Eddie Claar. The Eisteddfod was held April 30, 1926 at the Crescent Theater. Here the choruses both sang very well. The chorus led by Charles Chapman won the pennant. The Boy's Glee Club is now firmly organized, and the members receive one fourth credit each year for their efforts. The Boy's Glee Club has become an organization that Kinnison High is proud of.

Manager Lewis Davis .......................................Treasurer Charles Chapman Student Director The K. H. S. orchestra celebrated its tenth anniversary in a most suitable way by being the largest and the best orchestra in the history of the school. It contained twenty-two instruments wh ch included piano, drums, five saxophones, two clarinets, two trombones, one alto, two cornets, seven violins and one flute. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA ; : i; : ■ - : The orchestra is an institution of merit and it not only offers a chance for betterment of each player through practice, but offers great opportunities in college, symphonic and dance orchestras. The K. H. S. orchestra has turned out many members who have made success in greater orchestras. A diploma with a credit in high school orchestra is worth much to the graduate holding it. The orchestra, under the direction of Miss Willis, has made wonderful progress this year. It has taken its part cn several occasions including a muslcale given by the musical department of the school. ■ Page Seventy-seven DEBATE - For the fourth time in as many years, our school participated in a triangular inter-school debate. This year Jackson’s opponents were Ironton and Wellston. Our negative team, composed of Walter Evans, Carl Forsythe, Maurice Lee Schellenger and Arnim Fillinger met Wellston in that city and came away victors by a three to nothing decision of the judges. The affirmative team, Altha Channell, Walter Hess, William Ervin and Vio’et Cramblitt, debeated with Ironton, here At the end of the debate, the audience was unanimous in their support for Jackson and eloquent in their praise. Everyone seemed to think that Jackson won easily, but the jud. es saw it differently. They awarded the victory to Ironton, two to one. The question for debate this year was, “Resolved, that the Air Service of the United States should constitute a separate department of the government..” This is a question that takes a great amount of study and preparation for an intelligent discuss'on, and the debate represents a real task for anyone who will tackle it. The teams do not always get the credit due them, for when they lose, they are oftentimes foigotten about immediately. But, consider. The losing team worked just as hard as the winning team, they put as much effort into their preparation as the winning team, and do they not deserve just as much credit for their trial as the more fortunate ones? Both teams are very grateful to Mr. Henson for the time and work which he put into the preparation for the event. He has shown excellent judgment in coaching the debate teams in the past and this year’s work was no exception to the others. : Page Seventy-eight “SEVENTEEN On April 9, 1926, the Junior class of K. H. S. presented their play “Seventeen”. It was pronounced a great success by everyone. It is the tragedy of William Sylvanus Baxter (Charles Chapman) that he has ceased to be sixteen and is not yet eighteen. Seventeen is not an age, it is a disease. He is often humiliated by his mother (Eliza Armstrong) because she sends him cn errands that he thinks should be done by their colored servant, Genesis (Max Mi.ler). “Silly” Bill falls in love with Lo’a Pratt (Frances Motz) the Baby Talk Cirl, who is visiting Msy Parcher (Elizabeth Jones). To woo her in a way worthy of himse.f and her, he steals his father’s dress-suit. Jane (Avanell Elliot) his little sister, sees him in the suit and of course tells Mrs. Baxter. After Willie’s wooing has become a nuisance to the neighborhood, especially Mr. Parcher (Gordon Reynolds) Mrs. Baxter steals the suit back and has it let out to fit her husband (Harry Shick), thereby keeping Willie at home. But at the farewell dance for Lola, it is unendurable for Willie to stay away so Mrs. Baxter has the suit brought home for him. Johnnie Watson (Louis Claar) and Joe Bullit (Hoi and Arthur), Willie’s very close friends; George Crooper (George Roderick), Johnnie’s cousin from Blairsville; Mary Brooks (Carol Eubanks) Wallie Banks (Hayden Wood) and Ethel Boke (Mary Casely) attend the dance. By the time Willie arrives Lola has all her dances taken and he spends the evening with Ethel. The ciimax is reached when Genesis comes in and discloses the fact the the cherished garment be’ong to Mr. Baxter. After Lola has gone to the train with George Crooper in his Chevrolet, racer, Willie, broken hcartedly tells his mother that he thinks he will go to college next year. The success of the play was due to the untiring efforts of Misses Wagner and Axline and the enthusiasm and interest shown by the cast. Page Seventy-nine SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club, composed of about fifty members, was organized at the beginning of the school year in September, 1U25. It is composed of Senior and Junior Spanish students with Miss Siavens, the Spanish teacher, as guradian. Profitable meetings were held every two weeks when very interesting programs were given with the Spanish students supplying most of the talent. A few weeks after its organization the club gave a weiner roast at Canter’s Caves which was enjoyed by club members and members of the faculty. The outstanding event of the year was the party given at Christmas time, when for the second time members of the faculty including Miss Jones and Supt. Glandon were guests of the club. The club presented each teacher and student with a present which Santa Clause had left under the Christmas tree for them. This afforded much amusement as did the “Club Prophesy” and the “Letter to Santa.” The party was a huge success from every point of view. The club under capable officers has had a very successful year and we sincerely hope the Spanish students of class ’27 and ’28 organize into a similar club. ++ • Fage Eighty THE CHARM SCHOOL The Senior Class presented their play, The Charm School, Friday, May 14. It was a success in every way and was very much enjoyed by the audience. The cast was as follows: Austin Bevans (Dwight Shumate) an automobile salesman with ideas which David MacKenzie (Clarence Davis) a law stuudent considers unpractical, though George Boyd (John Hannigan) an expert accountant is willing to cooperate, and so are Jim Simpkins (Sloan Davis) and Tim Simpkins (Willard Ridgeway), who toil not and have never seriously considered spinning. Homer Johns (Arnim Fillinger) is the guardian of Elise Bcnedotti (Dora Beatty), the president of the Senior Class at a school presided over by Miss Hays (Ellen Wick) who is loved and feared by all who know her, including the secretary. Miss Curtiss (Lou Holcomb) who is always trying to think well of the Senior Class composed of Sally Boyd (Thelma Jacobs) who is George’s sister, and Muriel Doughty (Elizabeth Gahm), Ethel Spelvin (Margaret Shoemaker), Alix Mercier (Martha Peters), Lillian Stafford (Gwendolyn Glan-don), Madge Kent (Flora Jordon), and Dotsie (Lottie Walker) a Junior w'ho is always in the way. Much of the success of the play is due to the untiring efforts of the able coaches—Miss Axline, Miss Wagner and Mr. Jones. ; ; ! : Page Eighty-one PHYSICS CLUB Although the Physics Club was not formally organized until late in the school year, it existed, in reality, during the whole time. It has taken a very active part in the work of the school, attaining as much prominence as any of the other larger clubs. The old saying, “small but mighty” can be very aptly applied to this organization, as it consisted of but eight boys, the members of the Senior Physics Class. The officers were: President—Walter Evans; Vice President—James Brown; Sec. - Treas.—William Geiger. Other members were: Arnim Fillinger, Clarence Davis, Paul Irons, Benton Swanson, and Billy Ervin. These boys, under the able leadership of Mr. Vernon Keeler, participated in many activities. These were for the most part field trips both in town and out. Two of the trips were made to Chillicothe and Point Pleasant, W. Va. Besides these trips, the boys gave several free picture shows of a very instructive nature which were very well attended by the students. The club has made much progress and we feel that it is a very fine organization. Its influence will be favorably extended into the activities of next year if it is reorganized and it is the request of the members of the present club that its influence be perpetuated. BIOLOGY CLUB The Sophomores became the leaders of the 1925 - 26 K. H. S. club activities by sponsoring the Biology Club. Not for a long time has any club of the school been as successful as has this one. The first meeting was held Monday, Dec. 14. Maurice Lee Schellenger was chosen president of the club. There were sixty students eligible for the club this year, belonging to three Biology classes. Although it was not organized until late in the year, it repad y outdistanced the older clubs in importance. The only criticism that can be made of this club is that it did not secure the attendance its success deserved. The programs were a mixture of humor and knowledge. They afforded an opportunity for the participants to develop their talent. A great many features of the program were of an original nature thus giving a chance for the development of previously unknown talent. The club held its last meeting Thursday evening, May 6. The attendance at this meeting was the largest of the year and the program was also the best. This meeting formed a fitting climax for a highly successful year. A. M. HISTORY CLUB The Ancient and Medieval History Club organized by a number of Sophomores early in the year was one of several similar clubs formed in our High School, for the puipose of promoting interest in some particular subjects. This idea was carried out very nicely in the A M. Club as talks were assigned for the meeting which brought out more clearly and more completely certain topics which were being discussed in class. However, the meetings of the club were not restricted to talks. After this part of the meeting was completed, games were played and refreshments served. Throughout the year when the meetings came on or near a holiday, appropriate decorations, games and refreshments were used. The students cooperated in forming and carrying out the plans for decoration, and the other p'ans needed with a result ant training which will prove beneficial to them in the future. Thus, by combining work and fun the dual purpose of the club was carried out. Marian’s Want Ad -y :• WANTED — ONE MAN — not necessarily good looking, but must be a very good dancer — to go to the LEAP YEAR DANCE, with a beautiful attractive girl—but bashful. Come to Room 1 after school Thursday afternoon. Marian was very embarrassed, not that this was any unusual state for Marian to be in at all, but truly this seemed worse than ever before. For ten minutes last Wednesday she had gazed, first hopefully, then eagerly, then wistfully at the brilliant poster in the lower hall which, read: “Girls! Here’s your chance! Leap Year Dance, Friday, April 7th. Get your dates early! M - -- -- -- -- -- - Then in one rash moment she had made up her mind. Whence came the little unpretentious “Ad” in the Skeleton, which had created such a sensation. But was it fate that made Marian’s courage fail her just at the critical moment? Whatever it was she was receiving the fruits of her madness, for she had not the nerve to face the great mob of the opposite sex which was swarming into Room 1. Marian sought sympathy from her best friend Jane—Jane the ever practical, was always such a comfort to her. Oh, what would you do in a case like this? moaned Marian. I, Marian Jones, with that bunch of men going in Room 1, hunting me!------“Laugh, if it amuses you’’ said Marian, “I fail to see the humor” “I must admit it was an exceedingly dumb thing to do Merry, but why werry about them?” said Jane trying to control herself, go right up and chase ’em away, I would! Ah! an inspiration! “Why, just the thing, I simply must go home, so you go in the cloak room and get my coat and books. You know where I sit.” “What I? Well hardly! I wouldn’t go near a bunch of boys, not me, and, anyway they might think it was I who put the Ad. in the Skeleton”. Oh! please Jane, LOOK! here comes some more—they seem to think its quite funny, — Oh, what'll I do? But Jane, fearing she might think of some more rare and rash schemes, left Marian alone in her misery. Would they never go? At last she wa ked quickly to the offending room, dodging her way among the much feared laughing boys. Ah-ha! Here she is! “Oh, Marian won’t you take me to the Leap Year Dr nee?” crie’d one, the rest snickered. “W - W - What? I take you? W - Why what do you mean?” stammered embarrassed Marian frantically, trying to grab her coat from the cloak room and run. It was impossible. “Not a chance, young lady! You’re not going till you ask one of us to the dance”, cried one, grabbing her arm. “Hardly” roared another. “It will be rather hard to choose among such a good looking hunch as this is! Do you want me to show you how well I dance?” Marian stared (she had eyes, beautiful ones too) then she blushed, she also had that school girl complexion, then she giggled, (made one think of bells) and then —Oh, marvelous! Out of a cloudy sky came Jack!—Jack the foot ball star, Jack, the basketball wonder, Jack the musician and school idol!—in short the Jack of Marian’s DREAMS. And did he pass her by? —Hardly! Say! Just why the great excitement? (Continued on next page) ' ■ Page Eighty-three MARIAN’S WANT AD (Continued from Preceding Page) “Can you feature it, Jack” answered one of the mob, “She's advertised for a fellow to cake to the Leap Year Dance, and now she's turned us down! “Well, I don’t know” reflected Jack, but it seems to me that you fellows are rather fishing. What’s the matter, worried about getting left? G’wan—SCATTER! And they scattered. The great hero was not to be trifled with. “And that’s that!” Jack grinned. Marion’s eyes were shining. Why not? Her hero had saved her. She tried to thank him—it was very difficult. She had always been considered good in public speaking class, but her excellent training availed her nothing now. “Oh, that’s all right laughed Jack, but 1 say—Marian, a-aren’t you going to live up to you— Well aren’t you going to a—? “Jack” said Marian, sweetly, “will you please go to the Leap Year Dance with me?” He answered — “MARIAN, MY DREAM HAS COME TRUE.” —Narsa E. Lewis - 27 CANTER’S CAVES As I journeyed through these paths of beauty which were bordered on both sides by vast columns of rocks that rose even into the buzzard’s aerial route, I was thrilled with a sense of loneliness. The thought of the ages that those bare and weatherbeaten rocks have passed through and of the ages that are to come, is almost incredible. There is an anxiety in this heart of mine that I could have lived through those vast ages of history and see what those rocks have seen and still stand unharmed awaiting for more ages to come and to look down upon the progress of the great human animal of today, man. Then changing my range of view my eyes were dazed with the beauty of the trees and the underbrush. Large beds of wintergreen spread their great carpets from rock to rock. Then small trees could be seen springing up with a fresh look ready to start on the journey through life, like a child, only to grow up through the centuries of storm and sunshine and at last, like an octogenerian clings to the last breath of life, it slings on the very brink of those elevations of unsuurmountable height. There after showing its last demonstration of its beautiful life, with the oncoming of the fatal storm it topples and falls to earth where all the refuse of the ages collects and all signs of its life vanish forever. But such is the story of the ages, the story of love, of tragedy, of battle and of life on earth. We shall live and die, our children shall live and die and generation shall follow generation, but those rocks shall stand and bear to our descendents an unwritten story of our lives and of lives unknown. —Glendon Steele '28 Page Eighty-four Guess! Who Am I? “Who am I? I belong to the ‘Freshies’. The wise ones like me, the foolish ones don't know me. A few handle me roughly while others handle me with care. I am quite large. I wear a brown coat. I am about worn out. I am generally to be found upon the teacher’s table. I have many experiences. “Oh, dear! Some little boy is looking at me. He looks very mad. I don't know what his name is. He is tall, rather fleshy and has pimples on his face and he has dark hair. Can you tell me who he is? He is a Freshman. But there he turns me over with a thud and slams me back on the table and returns to his seat. “For the next few minutes everything remains silent. At last, here comes a smiling little girl. She looks very sweet. She is rather short and his straight, dark hair and a pleasing smile. I don’t know very many people out of this class. But she has a troubled look as though she cannot find what she is looking for. I hope I can help her but I am afraid not. Well she is picking me up and replacing me, so I guess she is satisfied. At least I hope so. “Oh, dear! I hear some people talking. Someone is saying, ‘I don’t want to use it.’ And another replies, ‘I don’t care whether you want to or not. You simply must.’ “Then in a moment or two some dirty faced boy comes up to me, turns me over, moves me from side to side and is growling every minute of the time. Suddenly, he says, (very loudly) T can’t find it.’ The teacher replies, ‘Do be quiet and keep searching for it and I am sure you can find it if you try’. He turns me over and over again and again growling more and more each time. Then, suddenly he slams me down on the desk and returns to his seat. “I do hope I get a rest for a while but I suppose not, for here comes a rather small boy. He is fat and chubby. He looks to me as if he might play football. I am sure he is kind. I don’t know whether he is going to use me or not but, I think so. Yes, I guessed correctly. I’ll bet he doesn’t like me but he has to, at least at the present. I mustn't say such things for I have already misjudged him. He uses me very gently and he looks and acts so very kind. He looks at me for awhile, then he looks at his classmates and gives a nod, which seems to mean, I am right. He lays me down carefully, sharpens his pencil and returns to his seat. Brr-r-r-r-r-ing! “Oh, there goes the bell. I suppose some more ‘Freshies’ will be coming in to visit me. “But alas! I must be still and quit mumbling because here comes a boy to consult me. He has light hair, middle sized and is freckled faced. He has a very large smile. I wonder why. Well, anyway he must be bright because he doesn’t tarry long. “Oh, dear! I have waited and rested until I am tired. Why doesn’t someone come and look at me? Then I hear a voice say, (I think it is the teacher) “I am cutting this period short, and then she rings the bell. “Here comes the last Freshman class and to my bad luck this class doesn’t bother me very much. But here comes a tall, fat girl. She has hair between light and dark. She wears it up in little biscuits on her head. She turns me over and replies, ‘You aren't any good, you are too old.’ “Then some tall, rather fleshy robust girl comes up. She has dark brown hair and blue eyes. She looks as though she might be mischievous. She looks at me for a while and then says, ‘You are the best person in the world.’ She gives me a little hug and returns to her seat and continues to study her lesson. “Well, I now have a chance to rest, but I must tell you who I am. “I am the ‘FRESHIES’ Dictionary . —Mildred James - ’29 Page Eighty-five A Little Bit of Nothing A prominent business man awakened to find the notorious bandit, Delone, in his room. “What are you doing here?” he asked in a shaky voice. “Can’t you see I’m robbing you?” was the bold reply of the bandit. “If you don’t go I shall have to call an officer. I can’t sleep with you monkeying around here”, answered the gentleman. “It won’t do you any good to ca.l an officer, replied the burglar calmly. “I have a license which permits me to burglarize anyone.” “Well, don’t make so much noise, then, for I can’t sleep.” Just then a shrill whistle was heard. Delene turned and said, “You lucky guy.” With that he tossed his loot on the floor. “Yes, you call me lucky, do you, taking all I own?” “Didn’t you hear that whistle?” “Surely, and I have heard whistles before, too.” “That was the chief of the Burglars’ Association. He just ca led a strike,” remarked Delene as he leaped from the window. —George Horton ’28 The End of a Perfect Lesson If you folks are just like me, You often times are guessiin’, For many times I can not see How I’m going to get my lesson. I start studying in the library, But there’s the hired girl and her beau. He asks her if she’ll marry And says he loves her so. I go into another room. There’s Grandma and her friend. They’re filling things so full of gloom, While stockings they do mend. I go into another place, And there’s Grandpa and dad. They argue who will win the race. They nearly set me mad. Now what I do I’ll let you know; I must not keep you guessin’. I get my hat and go to the show’ And forget about the lesson. —Iva E. Steele ’29. Page Eighty-six Faces ‘0 wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us.” —Burns Did you ever take part in a play, make a public speech, take charge of a meeting, sing a solo, or even make an announcement in a room at school? If you have, you were undoubtedly impressed by the multitude of faces arrayed before you. As your eyes wander over the crowd, your attention is attracted first by the expressions on these faces. Some are long (in sorrow or temporary anger) and some are broad with smiles. As you study each one more carefully, you note first the nose. This feature, the most “outstanding” of them all, takes a great variety of forms upon the human countenance. There is the stern Roman nose, the classical Grecian nose, the saucy “pug” nose (which is rather small, creeps unostentatiously from the forehead, and turns joyfully upward at its southern terminus), and a nose which can not very easily be named—that is, one which seems to wander over the entire face in a very erratic manner, giving a very weird expresion to the face of the possessor. There are many of these noses which are “dolled up” from time to time by their owners. This bespeaks no ill for the noses. The next feature to arrest your attention is the cherry-red opening just south of the great divider of the face. It is commonly called the mouth and incidentally is the hardest worked organ of them all. Some of these are large and homely, wandering, just as the noses did, all over the face. Others are as dainty and pretty as if they had been fashioned by an artist for the sole purpose of being kissed. No matter what the size or the shape of a mouth may be, if it is backed up by a set of beautiful white teeth, its beauty is enhanced one hundred percent.. In the making of the fairer sex, the control of the mouth has undoubtedly been omitted, for it often remains open at the most inopportune times, allawing conversation to escape which should have been safely placed on cold storage behind the ears. Another important addition to the facial make-up, is the set of optics endowed to every normal person. These are very usful, as well as very dangerous. You must beware as you look over the crow’d, that you are not enthralled by a bewitching glance of one of these, for a wink of an eye has sent many a man down the long aisle of a church to meet his doom. And as a climax to this comedy-drama, you see the hair. Hair in all colors—black, brown, bronze, auburn, blonde and some even snow white. The most interesting part of this though, is the manner in which it is “done up”. On the male heads, we see it in a variety of modes. On some it is well groomed and tidy looking— even going, in some cases, to the extreme of being “greased and patted down” until it looks like a piece of patent leather. On the female heads, it is arrayed before you in a countless number of fashions. These are easily divided into two general classes, —the bobbed and the unshorn. The girls who still can boast of their virgin tresses are few' in this age. Since there are so many who have bobbed hair, you may notice that there are various styles of cutting it. Some are beveled, some are shingled, and some are cut so that they resemble a last year’s rat nest. Some even cut it “like unto their fathers”, on account of which you must look at the face to distinguish between milady and her betroth. Yet, you must give the girls credit for arranging their hair in such an attractive manner. It remains for the girls to give the final judgment. Next and last comes the ears. These are usually very retiring but in some cases assuming proportions of immensity,--------... Oh, Well! I think this enough and maybe wre would all be a little less egotistical if we could but see ourselves as others see us. —J. Clarence Davis ’26 Convention Convention, that tiny thread-like something that so firmly connects the present age with those of the past. Convention, the sculptor whose hand has for ages shaped the lives of men and nations throughout the world. Nevertheless, tiny as the thread may seem, it dared and taunted men for aeons, and had they tried to break the thread they would have learned that it was more like a mighty cable, and would only have attempted it at the risk of being excluded from the better classes of society. Time changes, and with this change also comes a change in the customs. Men are slowly but surely breaking away from the conventional and accepting the customs of the present age. Nations too, are attempting this. Take Japan for an example. For years this country kept herself secluded from the rest of the world and allowed none to bring in ideas from the outside. Finally she awakened from her dream of ancestor worship, and found that the world had progressed—progressed to such an extent that it would require many years for her to catch up with it. With the realization that she must get some ideas of her own and break away from those meager views of more than a thousand years ago, she too has progressed and is well on the way to becoming one of the world powers. Her sister nation, China, is also gradually taking up more modem views and may some day be one of the world's prosperous nations. Convention has probably had more effect upon the individual than upon the nation as a whole. In this day of freedom when everyone does just about as he pleases, we have no need of adhering to those fixed customs set down years ago. With this independent attitude we find that men are progrssing, both intellectually and morally and with this change we find that it tends to make a more progressive nation. We are not satisfied with the conventional. We want to use our own ideas and with this want of betterment the world must progress. If we were to sit in a secluded spot and watch the world go on, being satisfied with that which our parents and their parents had, where would we be? We are not satisfied, in fact we are restless—we want to keep moving, and so does the world. Satisfaction, it is that which makes the nation seem static nary and as long as we are ambitiously restless we are bound to progress. Fifty years ago it was considered “good form for the polite young lady, when going to a restaurant or other place for a meal, to leave a portion of it in the plate when she left. Why? Convention—everyone else did it. And many a pr-son Tias gone hungry because she must stick to the conventional, all of which probably accounts for the age of small waistlines. Now in this age of do-as-you-please a young lady eats as much as she likes and asks for more if she cares for it without being the object of stern glances from others present. Yes, we are gradually breaking away from the conventional, and in so doing we are making the w’orld just about as good place to live in, as can be found! —Arnim M. Fillinger, '26.

Como mucho mas debemos celebrarlo desde que Los Estados Unidos celebrara su annivirsario cien y cincuenta ese ano mismo. En Mil ochocientos setento y seis los ninos de la cindad de Jackson empezaron su primera obra en una escuela alta, solamente cien anos despues de la signatura de la declaracior; de Independencia. Ahora, despues de cincuenta anos de la progressa, la escuela alta aqui pone hombres y mujeres en las situaciones mas importante del mundo. De esa escuela alta hay pueblos en la opra en la dramatica, en las situaciones de engineers de professores y muchas otras posiciones. Para el mas de ese tiempo el professor Kinnison fue el superintendo de la escuela y el conducio la obra muy bien. Algunos anos pasado el senor Glandon se hizo el superintendo, por la resignacion de professor Kinnison, y ha sido un superintendo capable. A la primera las clases fueron menos pero el numero ha crecido hasta ahora hay muchas personas graduandas cado ano. Es esperarse que pronto nos tendremos ina escuela alta que sera mas larga de laque tenemos ahora. 1 Charles Chapman '27 Page Eighty-nine Good Literature :■ ; :; The reading of good literature polishes our education and character. There are two kinds of education: one type in which we see the good results immediately,— the other type in which the results are not apparent at once. In high school we gain both types of education, but a great deal more of the immediately apparent type. Since this less apparent type is not so prevalent, we must lay great stress upon the amount of it which we can secure. The reading of good literature belongs to this type of education of which the fine results are not visible at once. As the mind is an intangible object, we cannot measure its progress and refinement precisely. We know of course that our minds always are bettered by education, but it is hard to say definitely just what influence will add the final polish to the mind. The ever-pressing need in educational circles now is to find that influence, an influence which will adapt itself to the needs of each of us. No writer has ever written works which are the exact replicas of another author’s productions. The varieties of books are as many as the types of human emotions and lives. So in good literature, since it is so all-encompassing, we can find the influence which will add the final touch to our culture. Literature is a power. At the inception of any great undertaking, there are noble ideas. These ideas are usually embodied in the works of literature. The great influences and principles of liberty, which stirred the French people to revolution, were found in the flaming words of Voltaire and Rousseau. One of the great contributory influences to the Declaration of Indepence was Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense.” As literature has had the great power to change history, so it has a much greater power to shape the mind. This power is at our command, if we but choose to use it. So your character and mind will be developed according to the kind of literature you read. You will be known by the literature you enjoy. If you read poor literature for a while, you will soon develop a taste for that kind and will lose all the finer qualities that come from reading good literature. In behalf of the development of a cultured mind and character, let us patronize good literature. . : : Walter L. Evans - ’26 I— Ja! frUimiats SCHOOL SPIRIT What is school spirit? Did you ever stop to think what school spirit really is? To us, it is a very much exaggerated and overworked term which is used to characterize all the things that go wrong with the school. No one can truthfully say that K. H. S. athletics have had no support during the past year. They have. It is not the athletic contests, such as baseball games, basketball games, football games, track meets etc. which are not supported properly by the student body. Heretofore, “school spirit” has meant only attendence at athletic contests, and incidentally, a little cheering. True, that is one phase of school spirit, but is it the only one? Some pecp'e think it is. The things that really lack school spirit are the dramatic, musical and publication projects that are undertaken by the school. The plays are supported, but not with the same ardor as the athletics. The musical department is supported even less, and the publications receive the least attention of all — until the day they make their appearance. The responsibility for these is shifted to the shoulders of one or two persons and if they do not do their work, none are the wiser, for thev do not seem to realize that an annual or a school newspaper is even going to he published. Students, get a different meaning of school spirit. Use it in its broadest sense, and above all, give all activities equal consideration. STUDENT COUNCIL Other schools have it. Why not Jackson? That is a question that has been asked not a few times about many different topics. This time it is in reference to a student council form of government for our school. Under this plan, the students would govern themselves, under the advice of a faculty member, and in doing so could necessarily take more interest in school discipline. This would naturally lead a more complete understanding between the teachers and students. Under this plan there would be a special board for dramatic productions presented by the school, which would take charge of a’l matters pertaining to such things; there would be a board for athletics which would take complete charge of all athletics. This last is what Jackson has been lacking for some years. There should, by all means be a board to take charge of everything along this line. If this were the case, Jackson’s athletics would be on a much more firm footing financially, for the expenses could be checked upon and the money not be spent wantonly. Besides dramatic and athletic boards, there would be boards for all other activities, which would greatly simplify the carrying on of these. Since Jackson is to have a new school soon, why not inaugurate the student council as one of the basic establishments of it? This plan has been tried and used to very great advantages in many schools. Its influence has always been for the best and everyone has profited by it. Does it not stand to reason that a pupil will be more willing to obey laws and to do his best in school when he himself has been one of the makers of the laws and one to restrict himself? Apply it to yourself. Would you rather live in a city where all the laws were enforced by a few people, or one in which you could help do this yourself? We believe that this would be one of the best steps that the Jackson High School could take. Think about it. 0 : : ■ - Page Ninety-one •k+mj l � +m m + 4%0 Wv Jackson You are asking for something definite and supreme for our city, something lofty and high,— Think then first of our city’s name—Jackson, Ah!

To begin with, the team was very light. There were many small freshmen on the squad who did not get to demonstrate their ability to play this year, but undoubtedly K. H. S. will be proud of them in the future. The entire season was remembered because of the weather; nearly every game was played either in rain or snow. In reviewing the season, we see that Jackson played at Nelsonvil'e with a twenty to seven score against us. In this game, as Walker plunged the ball over the ’ lire, hefumblcd it and Shick recovered it in time to save the much-needed touchdown. , 1 Page Ninety-four ; The Fee nd game was at home with Oak Hill. The score for this game was nine to nothing in favor of Cak Hill. In this game, Brown particularly played a very good game. McCoy also showed up very well in going through the line under punts. In our game with Portsmouth, the river city defeated us forty-three to “zero”. Ridge at tack e, Whitaker on defense, and Ridgeway were the outstanding players, in this game One of the features cf the game was Ridgeway’s run for 30 yards. Logan was here next with a score of twelve to six, their favor. Walker scored for Jackson. Shumate, Poetker and Evans played exceptionally good games. Our fifth game w'as with Galli-polis, here. A blocked punt, which rolled over their goal just before the final gun, gave them the only score of the game. Six to nothing. The game was played in several inches of snow. Our next game was the return game with Oak Hill which we lost, twenty to nothing. Part cf this game was played after dark. Barlow showfed up very well in this game in his marvalous offensive running and in the fearless w'ay he brought the beefy Oak Hill men to earth. Reynolds also played an excellent game. At Ironton we were defeated by the score of thirty-four to nothing. ■ ■■ 0 Page Ninty-five : ; ■ 1 —' ■� ■r� ■ ry,— fLn r j i Our last game was with our old rival, Wellston. It was played here on the usual day, Thanksgiving Day. In this game, Geiger did excel.ent work at end and Smith and Slavens distinguished themselves. Wellston beat us thirteen to nothing, which was a very sad way to close the season. Every one regretted it, but we are looking forward to revenge in basketball. Th;s concludes the resume of the season of twenty-five which was in some ways disappointing; but we look forward to the season of twenty-six in which we hope to avenge seme of the defeats suffered this year. The people of Jackson supported the team very well at a few of the games, but this support could improve and should improve; for, what team could win without some support? So let’s all get behind the team of twenty-six and make it a winning one. Page Ninety'-ste I.

Bottom Row—Pauline Rogers, Guard, Captain-elect; Frances Motz, Guard, Captain. This is the second girl’s basket ball team that Kinnison High has turned cut in many years. The girls, although just starting to play, have made wonderful progress in the athletic fie d. They are to be commended on playing such teams as they played during the past season, and their high caliber is shown very well by their defeat of Athens High, at that city, twenty-nine to eighteen. After defeating Wellston High School two straight times, they drew them again for the tournament game and were nosed out by a seventeen to twelve score. The main reason for this defeat is generally attributed to over confidence. Although they did not win the tournament, they made a fine showing for themselves and made old K. H. S. proud of them.

One of the high spots of the s 'CSv.n was the spectacular defeat of our o.d enemy, Wellston, who went dowm before the Red and White by a score of thirteen to eight. Another neighbor of Jackson was defeated also, but not quite so easily. This game was with Oak Hill, and resulted in a twenty-one to sixteen score in favor of the home boys.

BASEBALL TRACK BASEBALL The one sport in which Jackson High School has always excelled in is Baseball. In the past few years practically every game played has been won. When time came to organize the team, it was found that only three “old tim-ers” were left around which to build a team; Whitaker at shortstop, D. McCoy in the outfield; and Reynolds as catcher. Last year’s pitcher Gilliland, had played witft the American Association team at Columbus and so was not eligible for the team. This left us without a pitcher and so Whitaker was shifted to the mound. McCoy was placed on first base, and Reynolds remained behind the bat. The remaining places were filled with new material: Reno Hughes at second base; Edward Barlow at third; while Wykle worked nicely at shortstop. In the field, Vinton McCoy, occupied left, Poetker the right, and Ridge played in the center garden. There was much good material on the bench in W. Ridge, Jenkins, Claar and Evans. The first game was played with Nelsonville in which we won nine to four. In this contest, Whitaker turned in a no hit game. The visitors secured all their runs on errors. Barlow led the home squad with three hits out of four times to bat. The next game was with the fast McArthur team. This was one of the fast and furious type. Both teams scored one run in the first inning. When the last inning arrived, the score was three all, and in the extra inning our boys pushed the winning run across. As we write this, we have two more games on our schedule to be played, one with Nelsonville and one with our old rival Wellston. It will be remembered that we defeated Wellston last year, and we are hoping to dupicate the feat by not marring our record. Late in the first semester there was organized in Jackson for the first time, a Hi-Y Club. It v as started with but five members and has steadily grown until now it ccntains about 25. The gocd results of this club have been many and far-leaching. Some of the good work includes the establishment of several bible classes to promote the study of the bible by the high school boys, the sponsoring of free picture shows of a very educational nature, and being the beginners of a very unique plan of closer fellowship between the different boys’ Sunday School classes in the city. As a fitting climax to the season, the boys ended up with a “tag day” by which enough money was raised to send Jackson High’s track team to the state meet. The last social activity of the year was an outing by the members of the club and bible classes at Jackson Lake Park, May 17. The club has just obtained a good startxthis year and will continue an even greater program of activities next year.

HI-Y CLUB Page One Hundred One N p TRACK With the first signs of spring, a call was issued for track material and in response, over thirty men began work. Handicapped by the lack of suitable practice grounds, they secured the use of the city library lot, and began work in earnest. Due to the fact that track had been abolished a few years ago, every man had to start from the bottom and learn every principle for the first time. After three weeks of hard practice, Coach Jones selected thirteen men to represent Kinnison High in the Southeastern League meet, which was held at Ironton, May 1. Inexperienced, but determined, these boys fought to the very last in every event. Our first points came in the mile run when Kenneth Davies lead the milers until the final sprint, finally finishing a close fourth. Close on his heels came his team mate. Frank Altherr, winning a total of three point. - for K. H. S. We added one more point when Davies finished fifth in the 880 dash. Floyd McCoy carried away third place in the broad jump, and to place a fitting climax on our work, won the high jump. In winning this, he was forced to break the Southeastern League record, with a jump of five feet six inches. Swanson placed third in this event. The following week, the same team went to the Class B district meet, held at Wellston. Here the team won fourth place from a field of twelve. Again our scoring was started by Kenneth Davies, who won the mile run. Another blue ribbon was won by K. H. S. when Carroll Patterson leaped nineteen feet, two inches for first place in the broad jump. His team mate, Floyd McCoy, won third place with a jump of eighteen feet, eleven and three-fourths inches. After leading the field in the 440 yard dash, Shick weakened but was able to win a point for us. Whitaker, our four letter man again proved a point getter, when he heaved the javelin 123 feet which was good for second place. In the last event of the day, the high jump, Floyd McCoy took fourth place and Swanson took fifth. Jenkins took fifth place in the low hurdles. On May 21 and 22, Whitaker, Shick, Davies, McCoy, Swanson, Jenkins and Patterson will represent Jackscn High in the State High School meet held at Ohio State University. At this writing, the meet has not been held yet, but we hope to take a few blue ribbons in the name of Kinnison High. The men who received the letters were Whitaker, Davies, Patterosn, McCoy and Sw’anson. 4p 0 UNHfcty 3 Spjw r. o� Pagre One Hundred Three A f m'vF'vS • + ■ ■• « ■ •■—� —■ —- ■ ■ f, — I, r | K. H. S.

Blessings on thee, little dame, Bareback girl, knees the same, With thy turned-down silken hose, And thy short transparent clothes, With thy bobbed hair’s jaunty grace And the makeup on thy face, With thy red lips reddened more, Smeared with lipstick from the store, From my heart I give thee joy, Glad that I was born a boy. Blessings on thee, little sheik, Hctter than a lightning streak, Balloon trousers, empty head, S cks and ties of flaming red; Marcelled hair, and grease galore, La'est perfume from the store; With the talcum on thy face, And thy cane to add thee grace. From my heart there bursts forth joy; Glad that I am not a boy. George H.—Some women are too beautiful to be clever. Tabitha R.—Oh, George, don’t flatter me so often.

The hotel has 1,5550,001 rooms. It was built by the Clay Booth Construction Company whose chief Architect is Anna M. Pritchet. Adjoining the hotel is the “Curling Iron Beauty Shoppe.” The “Shoppe” is owned and operated by Margaret Stephenson and Carrie Rogers. They put in waves by Radio that stay forever. Last night we went to the Seemore Theatre owned by Helen Will. We enjoyed the picture very much. It was “The Glass House” starring Mildred James, Ruth Watson and Calvin Lyons. The author of the play is Vinton McCoy. Freda Bronn was the directress of the picture. The Theatre has a wonderful orchestra; it is Leroy Ashley’s Symphony Orchestra. Thomas Evans playing the saxaphone and Margaret Jenkins playing the piccolo were the most important players. After the picture there were several acts of Vaudeville. Virginia Washam and Ales Jacobs gave a novelty dance; then came Robert Stephenson, the famous clog dancer and general trick man; then fifteen minutes in the land of mysteries with Kern Schellenger, a noted wizard. We enjoyed this very much. The second largest department store in the world is in the next block from the theatre. It is owned by Bernard Brunton, Belle Spriggs and Dorothy Farrar. It is managed by WTilma Deering. The floorwalkers are Gladys Downey and Louise Coyan. It is a wonderful store. All students of K. H. S. should visit Ice City. The class of '29 welcomes you.

To have been connected daily for years with his wholesome and kindly personality was a rare privilege. To behold him now in his seventy-third year, enjoying good health and hopeful of life’s promises gives added happiness to all who associated with him. An enlarged picture of our former superintendent presented by the class of 1925 hangs on a wall in the high school building, named for him. The memory of another personage looms high in the horizon in this retrospection. The strong personality of Lucy B. Jones, the active interest she has always had in our school, and her sympathy for those whose ability is not of the normal kind has endeared her forever to hosts of people. For nearly a quarter of a century she has been identified with the student body and the last dozen years of her service has been given to the duties of high school principal. Both pupils and parents will never cease to be grateful to the continued efforts of Miss Jones. Here’s to her continued good health. The selection four years ago of J. F. Glandon as superintendent of public schools betokens large wisdom and insight on the part of the school board. Mr. Glandon is a Jackson County product, a graduate of Ohio University and a man keenly alive to the needs of the youthful mind. Previous to his coming to Jackson he was principal of the Wellston high school. Of considerable executive ability, progressive, yet sane and sound in his policies, he has been found by the teachers to be a sympathetic leader and co-worker. Jackson is fortunate in having as the head of its schools a man of this type and for that reason will continue to develop real men and women for worthy citizenship. : : ■ : : Page One Hundred Forty-eight r — -i — ri - f | - | | --■ ■•- ■ , r — ■. ■ - r � ii ili..
