,jg mm I' ml mm, BLUE AND WHITE , e 'i FOOTBALL L. H. S. proved to have a very successful football team this season having lost only one game out of eight. This game was lost to Salem, their traditional rival, by the close score of 13-0. Following are the Senior members of the team who will be lost by graduation: Capta'n Nicolette-Q-steered the team, by his clear thinking, through a season of' victory. It will be hard to forget the Lisbon game in which Guy', netted the only touchdown. The score for this game was 7-0. Milt Price-L. T.-This strong and sturdy senior obtained a position on the all-county team for two successive years. His great tackling ability was shown in the Palestine game in which L. H. S. was victorious, the score being 6-0. May you just as successfully tackle life, Milt. Sammy Beltempo-R. T.--obtained a position as Right Tackle on the all- county team this season. It was his steady playing and never say die spirit that netted us a victory at Salineville, the score being 21-0. Bruce Ginther--R. G.-who kept up the pep of the team with his wonderful vocal selection this favorite being Lula J, made all-county Right Guard and proved a heap of strength in the Alumnae game which H. S. won, 49-0. Poppy White -C-One of the mainstays of L. H. S. football teams for the past three years and selected as center on the all-county team of '24. His fighting spirit and headwork in the Lisbon game showed him to be a football player of fine mettle. Mike Burick-L. H.-L. H. Sis famous triple threat man. Although kept from playing the first part of season because of injuries, he more than made up for it in the latter part. We will never forget the long gains made by him in the Wellsville game in which L. H. S. won 6-0. Jicko Billet-R. H.-The small but mighty senior. A wonderful broken field runner who proved his football ability in the Ex-hi game. ' Lawrence Dean-L. E.-who played on L. H. S. left wing, quietly but mightily showed his defensive and offensive ability in the Farrell game by receiving a beautiful pass which netted a touchdown. L. H. S. won this game. Score 13-0. Roland Lanpher-F--although not a regular he showed his loyalty and deter- mination as a football player by coming out all season andtaking his share of hard work. This article would not be complete without mentioning the underclassmen on the team who were: Bob Clifford, captain-elect of '26, who played Left Guafdi Reese Price, all-county full back, and Doc Mowery whose great ability of recovering passes netted us several victories. We know that these boys will be the nucleus of future football teams of L. H. S. I Although losing these eight players, high hopes are entertained for next year's football team. Here's Luck! Yea! Team! .28

t L. H. S. TRACK RESULTS L. H. S. started its track season early this year hoping to have the track team in the best condition for the different meets. In ,the class meet the Seniors and Sophomores defeated the Juniors and Fresh- man by a large score. On Saturday, May 1st, L. H. S. held a meet with Palestine, Columbiana'and Boardman High School, at Palestine. Palestine won the meet by a very small margin. Leetonia came second, Columbiana third and last came Boardman. Great hopes were held for the following Saturday, especially in Burick, Billet, Nicolette and Price, as these boys led in their respective events. The Twenty-third Annual Columbiana Track and Field Meet fell on an ideal track day. The meet was a fast one, three old records being broken ,and one tied. Although L. H. S. only took 3rd place, we made a fine showing and we are especially proud of Mike, Guy and Jicko, three Seniors, who made good in their events. Much praise also must be given to Reese Price, a Freshman, who made seven points for L. H. S. Great things are expected from him in future meets.

Bianco Let'5 Seize 'Emi , As the month of' June bows before us, Leetonia High School once again intro- duces a group of young Americans to the world. Twenty-eight in number, start on lit'e's highway, each endowed with an education allorcled by the public g'0VCI'lll'lICHt. For twelve-years their teachers and guardians have been training them to meet the trials and opportunities of tomorrow. No more do we believe that opportunity knocks but once. I recently read this sentence, A day dawns quite like other daysg in it a single hour comes quite like other hoursg but in the day and in thpxt hour the chance of a lifetime faces us. During' our school career many chances for our betterment have presented themselves to us and most of us have blindly left them pass by. t'Shall we do likewise in the future 'Z Ilut how shall I meet these opportunities? How may I recognize them as such 7 are the questions asked. A. certain clergyman has said, to face every opportunity of life thoughtfully and ask its meaning, bravely and honestly, is the only way to meet the supreme opportunities when they come, whether open-faced or disguised. Therefore let us, as members of the class of 1926, resolve that hereafter we will siesce every opportunity as it comes, let us prove to our past teachers that their labor of training was not in vain, that the money of the state was not spent upon a blind and spineless groupg and success will surely be ours. 29 4+ if H
