THE JUNIORS 1918 President Vice President Secretary OFFICERS Paul Baker Thelma Wilking Upton Walters CLASS HISTORY 1918 As rapid as is the motion of the sands of the hour glass, so the days of our High School life have seemed to me. Three-fourths of the way has been covered. One-fourth yet remains for us to speed over and then—well, we then will set forth to the Higher School— the world. But before we leave the old school let us go back across the way we have traveled. The road has not been smooth all the way. Rocks and boulders have been strewn in our path. There was many a dangerous turn in the road around which, with the aid of our teachers, we skillfully steered our way. It was a beautiful September morning when we Juniors gath¬ ered as the Freshman class in the vast auditorium. Austere and stern-eyed men appointed us to our respective rooms. There were two Commercial rooms and three Latin session rooms. Misses At¬ kinson, Marsh, Watson, Whitlock and Hollister presided as heads of our session rooms. How strange and new our surroundings were to us at first 1 We were overwhelmed with the majesty and superiority of High School life when we looked back at our recent Grammar School life. The first important act we partook of as Freshmen was to select a committee of two from our numbers to represent us at a discussion as to whether all members of Z. H. S. should have class pins. Then came our welcome by our upper classmen and teachers to High School. That winter saw earnest work on our part to acquit our¬ selves in a noble way. We cheered our debating teams on to vic¬ tory, and supported athletics. Spring came and with it the track meet at which the Freshmen did their part. Shortly before the close of school that year we gave a reception to the Seniors. Our class was well represented in a stunt that afforded our upper classmen much amusement. We had made our debut into active High School life and had passed the test and stood approved by our fellow-class¬ mates. Another September dawned in splendor and beauty. Now we were Sophomores. Our studies were becoming very difficult and we had to apply ourselves diligently to the task. In December a carnival was held for the benefit of the Athletic Association. It was a huge success and the Sophomores saw active service. Debate was the next affair of interest. We regret very much that not a Sophomore represented the School in this contest. But, oh horrors, fate turned the tables and from being victorious in annual debates we were so humiliated as to be conquered. After we managed to arise from the staggering blow and Comus Benefit in Carnival style held our attention. The year sped on to its close and Sophomorehood was a thing of the past. Again we were in a higher stage of development—Juniorhood. Now in truth we were important. We first felt our importance in selecting Comus officers. Then Mr. Brown and Carl Cashbaugh gaA r e a fine minstrel show for the Athletic Association. It came off without a hitch. As Juniors we were delighted with the affair. Debate came quickly on and several of our band were cbosen to lead the school on to victory. And that they assuredly did. In early May we were allowed to elect officers for our Senior year which be¬ fore long we will commence. But first the Seniors must be seen off in a manner that is appropriate to the dignity of the old School. A fine affair was given as farewell to the outgoing class. And now the pages of memory have been rapidly scanned. Let us hope that another year may add an interesting, lively ending to this the history of the Junior Class. Marie Mirvis, Class 1918. SOPHOMORE CLASS 1919 e, the Sophomores, have just finished one-half of our High School career. We have all received much pleasure as well as bene¬ fit from these few years and we feel sure that the remaining two years will fly by us as swiftly as those past have flown. In our flight we have had many exciting experiences which we wish to re¬ late. On September 5, 1916, we started into High School just as green as any Freshman, but gradually became accustomed to this new life. We were, as Freshmen, first represented by being per¬ mitted to have reporters from each room, namely 22, 23, 24, 25, 38 and 39, for the Comus. Next came the carnival in December which was presented for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The Freshmen were honored by being called upon to give a parody on “Romeo and Juliet” which was well received. We did our share in athletics, being represented on all the various teams. In the carnival held for the benefit of Comus we took a prom¬ inent part and the affair was enjoyed by all. Senior Class play, Class day and commencement followed, in which we bid the Seniors goodbye. These were the last great events of the season. Final exams came in no unusual way, and after overcoming these difficul¬ ties, we looked forward with pleasurable anticipations to our Sopho¬ more year. Almost before we realized it, our Sophomore year had begun. The first thing we did was to meet with the Board of Control con¬ cerning athletics. Now the time had approached for the Triangular Debate and everyone was thoroughly aroused. The Sophomores were very proud to have two of their classmen chosen to fill such a great capacity. 1 hus our Sophomore days ended and we are now thinking of the time when we will all be considered upper classmen. Fal Price, Class ’19. FRESHMAN CLASS 1920 In a building newly decorated and prepared for their reception, the present Freshman Class began its career last fall. Although not as large as we expected it to be, the goodly number of 242 were en¬ rolled in the six rooms set apart for their residence. Naturally they were of all sizes and kinds, but after one year of acquaintance with this incoming class of 1920, we are happy to report that they are good “sports” and good students. They began the year right by supporting the Comus, and at the end of the first semester they reg¬ istered 100 E’s, 95 G’s, 82 F’s and only 10 P’s. Room 22 had the banner number of all E reports. You are starting right. Here ' s to the class of 1920! In athletics the Freshmen are not usually able to show up very well, but there is promise of good material among the boys for fu¬ ture teams to represent old Z. H. S. Socially, the class has not been permitted to enjoy much oppor¬ tunity for getting together. A good spirit exists, however, and we hope for more social life later. Student government has been tried in some of the Freshman rooms and the results are being watched with interest. The great test will be, how many Sophomores will we have next fall.

The purpose of the so¬ ciety is to promote the interests of oratorical work and general pub¬ lic speaking in Zanesville High School. Membership comes auto¬ matically to all those who represent Z. H. S. in inter-school contests in any form of public speaking. An appropriate pin has been adopt¬ ed and meetings are held at the call of the President. These meet¬ ings are open to all former debaters and occur at the homes of the active members or coach. This new organization gives promise of splendid results in se¬ curing proper recognition for this form of activity in the school.

Duemmel Bernard Mechling Norma Thompson Helen Haas Selma Bruggeman Edgar Norris Paul Rei HONORARY Coach L. E. Mitchell HISTORY OF ' After the state Y. M. C. A. convention, held in London, Ohio, the latter part of the year 1915, it was decided to have a High School Y. M. C. A. organization, in order that the Young Men’s Chris¬ tian Association could work together in a co-operative way. The Hi Y Club held its first meeting on Jan. 7, 1916. At this meeeting the club was organized and officers were elected as follows: President, Paul Knoedler. Vice President, Karl Krobb. Secretary, Ness Irvine. Treasurer, Edgar Lenhart. The meetings were placed in charge of Rev. Whallon, who gave many interesting talks to the boys. Some of the prominent business men of the town gave short addresses during that year. Among them were: Mr. Hanlon, Rev George Shurtz, Mr. Snedeker and Dr. Long. Many good social times were enjoyed by the Hi Y members that year and two of the leading attractions were the Zoller Mandolin Club and the Karl Krobb Kompany. It is said that fabulous sums of money were spent in order that these companies might entertain the club. The Hi Y Club did not really become a big organization until late in 1916. Beginning in November, meetings were held every Friday for several weeks. New officers of the club were elected as follows: President, Clifford Westenbarger. Vice President, Heber England. Secretary, Bernard Mast. Treasurer, John Schooley. Through the kindness of the Comus staff a space was left open each month in the Comus for Hi Y notes, and the meetings were told of in this column, in order that the school might see what the Hi Y Club was doing. HI-Y CLUB Among the most important of the meetings held were those in honor of retiring Coach “Dutch’’ Pfeifer and the new coach, Diehl At the former meeting a loving cup was presented to “Dutch by the club, in honor of his untiring and loyal efforts toward the ath¬ letic and German departments of Z. H. S. At this meeting and at the one in honor of Coach Diehl, over seventy boys were present and songs and yells were given under the leadership of Carl Cashbaugh. During the holidays no meetings were held, but again in Janu¬ ary we met. The Hi Y Club adjourned near the middle of Febru¬ ary, with the prospect of having a “bigger and better’’ organization next fall. During the past year committees were appointed by Mr. Sne¬ deker to look after the religious, membership, and social phases of the club. Many good talks were rendered and the following men honored us in this way: Rev. Shurtz, Mr. Snedeker, Mr. Miller, Mr. Mast, Coaches Pfeifer and Diehl, Mr. Flegal, Mr. Leasure, Loren Jones of the Bob Jones party, and many of the boys at the different meetings also gave short talks. In all, the Hi Y Club was very successful during these two years. The active members this year were: Rev. Shurtz, Mr. Sne¬ deker, Clifford Westenbarger, Bernard Mast, Heber England, John Schooley, Ralph Weber, Ralph Mclntire, Herbert Lind, Carl Cash¬ baugh, Upton Walters, Paul Baker, Hamilton Bell, Perry Crum- baker, Daniel Price, Harold Talley, Earl Tilton, Russell McSwords, Leslie Johnson, Warne Still, Warren Black, Chauncy Swingle, Don¬ ald McCann, Douglas Duncan, Graydon Clifton, Holston Grassell, Clarence Miller, Fred Torbert, Lawrence Morrison, William Roben- alt, Roland Jones, Sammy Johnson, William McCarthy, Richard Atwell, Edwin Roe, William Heck, Leo Levi, Delmer Ardrey, Fuller Sherlock, James Offenbacher, John Rowland, Wilburt Fulton, Bur¬ dette Kappes. THE BOARD OF CONTRO Athletics The officers of the Board of Control are: President ---------- Ree Crowner Vice President - -- -- -- - Aeden Jackson Secretary - -- -- -- -- Ralph McIntire Treasurer - -- -- -- - Prof. C. E. Stookey The Board of Control is an organization of the High School that is often overlooked by the student body, nevertheless it is one of the most important organizations of the school as far as athletics are concerned. There is not enough co-operation between the rep¬ resentatives. The representatives come to the meetings not know¬ ing how the room feels about a certain matter ,and in this way dif¬ ficulties sometimes arise. The only way to have an efficient Board of Control is for the members to co-operate. This Board is composed of thirty members from the student body, and four from the faculty. The facultry acts as advisers to the Board. The duty of this Board is to take care of matters per¬ taining to sports, the buying of suits and equipment that the players need, etc. But we must stop here a moment. To buy equipment we must first have the money. The money that we get must come from the games. Football and basketball proceeds were fairly good this year but the baseball gate receipts have been low, although bet¬ ter than last year. The Board, as well as the player, needs the sup¬ port of the school. The Board has set aside a sweater fund. This fund is for sweaters for the football men only. No money can be drawn from this fund for any other purpose unless absolutely necessary. This fund is preserved by the entertainments that have been carried on, and not by money from the games. Begin the next year right, when you have any good sugges¬ tions let your room representative know about them so that they may receive due consideration .from the Board. Just one word for the representatives next year: be at every meeting, don’t fail, this is important work and you should do all that is in your power to make the most efficient Board possible.

S., 255; Opponents, 21. In offensive strength the team was unsurpassed by any Ohio High School team. The lack of strength at the ends was very well equalized by two of the best tackles in the state. Any time we need¬ ed ground we fell back on them for they were always sure of their forward passes or bucking the line to large gains. Many men on the team achieved unique distinction because of their rare abilities. Alden Jackson and Howard Crowner were lauded as the greatest High School tackles in the state. Richard Reinhold was recognized similarily as one of the best half backs around this section. Our op¬ ponents never failed to become acquainted with “Dick” and his tactics. Robert Boyd, with two years’ experience at quarter back, sure showed up in good style this year. In the coming years we expect to see him make history for some college. The season ended this year with fourteen lettered men. Eight of these fourteen were honored with sweaters with a large Z on them. The remai ning six were honored with a Z as the six had received sweaters the previous year and it is the custom to give out only one sweater. The following men received recognition: REINHOLD—“Dick,” who had for two years played an end position, came back to right half this year. He had the dope on them all in his punting and forward passing. As for line plunging, Dick had no equal. It will be some job to find a man who will do the work that Dick did. JONES—“Rough,” although he was only a first year man, sure was a lucky find. He always delivered the goods at the full back job. He was a hard, plucky player and a good line plunger. MANLEY—With “Bill” at guard the opposing players did not play so well. He made good this year by his steady, reliable playing. DARNER—With “Happy” at center we could always depend upon the ball getting into the receiver’s hands at the exact and op¬ portune time. He certainly maintained spirit in the team. CARLISLE—“Rus” played his position at guard this year in a steady and reliable manner. When a hole was needed, he could be relied upon to open it up. He will be a valuable man on the team next year. TALLY—Big Tally’s first and last year of High School football was a decided success. At end he played a fine game. It seemed that the ball simply could not fall out of his fingers. CROWNER—“Pep” was the greatest find of the year. Al¬ though he was only a Freshman, lie performed as a man of college experience. Too much credit can not be given to “Pep.” The op¬ posing tackle always had a lot of trouble with him, for he was big, husky and active as a cat. SHRAKE—“Erne” was our utility man this year. He played at full or half back. In both positions he performed in creditable style. He will do big things next year. HANES—“Chet” could have used considerable more weight if he had had it, but what he had he used to fine perfection in carry¬ ing out the dies of his end. BOYD—-“Bobby” without a doubt is the best little quarter we have had around this neck of the woods in the history of football. He has a head on him that would be a credit to Caesar. The team is sure going to miss Bobby next year. JACKSON—“Doc,” the captain of our next year’s football team, has no peer in the art of receiving passes and plunging through the line. As a defensive tackle he was a tower of strength. We are mighty thankful that he will be here next year. CLIETON—“Fatty” was one of the mainstays on the line. As a guard or center he always had his man trained to go in the direc¬ tion he hit him. Very few plays got through him this year and we will all be glad to see him out again next season. ABELE—“Ed” sure was there when we wanted a man to play any position necessary. He managed to play in very nearly all posi¬ tions before the season ended. Lots of credit is due to Ed just for this fact. We hope he will be back next year to get a steady place on the team. BASKETBALL SQUAD Above you will see the greatest team that ever represented Z. H. S. in basketball. Never were they defeated in regular scheduled contests, only going down to defeat at the hands of Ohio ' s cham¬ pion team, Stevers Hi of Columbus. The season ' s scores are as fol¬ lows : New Lexington, 23; Z. H. S., 33. Athens, 9; Z. H. S., 28. Coshocton, 16; Z. H. S., 35. Athens, 15 ; Z. H. S., 20. Coshocton, 19; Z. H. S., 49. Mt. Vernon, 24; Z. H. S., 29. Newark, 24; Z. H. S., 31. Columbus West Hi, 18; Z. H. S., 22. Newark, 8; Z. H. S., 40. Nelsonville, 18; Z. H. S., 36. Stevers, 26; Z. H. S., 16. Only good management on the part of Coach Deihl, coupled with tireless and consistent work on the part of the team could pro¬ duce this record breaking combination. Talley, our pivot man, is the best center in Ohio. To Cap. Reinhold is due largely the success of the team. Cashbaugh is one of our fastest men in basketball. His floor work is nifty. Jackson is no doubt the best guard in the state. McCann, a new man, showed up his opponents in a very classy style. Westenbarger and Boyd are stars at any position you place them and certainly do make good substitutes. These brilliant players aided by their expert team work have at last placed Z. H. S. on the basketball map and will long be re¬ membered as Z. H. S. ' s best athletes. GIRL’S BASKET BALL SQUAD Edith Howard. (Capt.)—“Pink” is a fast and clever forward and when she locates the basket, we may well say “Beware” to her opponents. She earns her second “Z” this year, and we are glad to say she 11 be with us as captain again next year. Lena Barr, (Mgr.)—A fine guard, always on the job, never gives up. and is always cheery. To her we must say good-bye this year to our great sorrow, for as manager she capably filled the place. Hallis Lenhart—Our other guard was a demon. To see her play, no one would believe it was her first year out. On the offensive and the defensive, she always delivered the goods. She will be a strong guard for next year’s team. Cleone Loeb—Our big center was all there in the game as well as on the jump, which she seldom missed. She also earns her second “Z” this season, and will doubtlesslywork hard for next year’s team since she has been elected manager. Eleanor Abel—A fine steady player. Pier first year on the team, she certainly earned her letter “Z”. She and “Pink” surely hit it off together. Helen Geary—One of the most congenial girls on the team, but her opponent probably thought otherwise. It was her first year too, but at second center she played a fine game. Ermal Kennison—She als o played second center, and while she and Geary ' shared the honors she, it must be admitted, was a hustler. This was not her first year at basketball, but it was her first on our H. S. team. Both girls earned their “Z’s.” Velma Kennison—“Kenny”worked against great odds, as did all the “subs,” getting little encouragement, yet being ever faithful. She was a fast player and helped the “first” team immeasurably. Irma Loeb—“Jimmy” seldom missed a night at practice and even ac¬ companied the team at her own expense once or twice. We hope she will be rewarded with a guard position on next year’s team. Ernestine Gaunder—Another of our most faithful second team. We hope all these girls will get some form of recognition, perhaps, a “Reserve Z.” They ' surely earned it. ' THE COACH OP THE GIRLS’ TEAM J. R. Richards, our coach—Let us give Mr. Rich ards lots of credit. Al¬ though it was not a victorious season, we must bear in mind that out of six girls he had only two from the team of the year before. Many of the others played for the first time this year. Against these and other obstacles, Mr. Richards showed himself to be a patient and capable coach. RAH! RAH! RICHARDS! BASEBALL TEAM This is one of the best athletic teams that ever represented Z. H. S. in any athletic contest. We may well feel proud of their work, for this is one of the strongest High School teams in the state. You will well remember that this team was the one that started our win¬ ning streak over our old rival, Newark Hi, when our lads sent the Licking county boys home with the short end of a 6 to 2 score in 1916. Since that time we have defeated Newark, first in football, then in basketball and debate, then again in baseball in 1917. This makes a remarkable series of defeats that we have handed to our rival for they never had a chance this year in any athletic contest or debate against Z. H. S. Prouty, who handled the big mitt, proved to be a tower of strength to the team. Captain Westeijbarger and Perrin, who composed our pitching staff, al¬ ways succeeded in baffling our opponents. Talley, who played first base, got everything that was headed in his direction. He was also one of our heavy hitters. Bob Boyd, who covered second, played like a professional in the field, and was always a great puzzle to the opposing pitcher. He batted as clean¬ up man and deserves much credit for his part in making scores for us. Dave Brown certainly handled the hot corner in big league style be¬ sides being lead off man on the batting list. Vigus, at short, shattered the hopes of our opponents many times by his speedy work, both in the field and at bat. Miller, in left field, was a real star and robbed many of our opponents from getting hits when they seemed impossible to field. Alden Jackson, in center, was a fast fielder besides being our home run king. He was also a speed demon on the bases. Russell Jackson, in right field, proved a great asset to the team. He was a heavy sticker and could be depended on when we needed a hit. Russell Linn, our utility man, who was only a Freshman, certainly made good and will be one of the stars next year. Ollie Fink, our manager, was always on the job and did his work nobly. Now we come to Big Deihl, our coach. A great deal of the credit for the achievements of this team justly belongs to him. He always gave ev¬ erybody a square deal and was well liked by all. We wish him the same success with future athletics in our school as he has had this year. AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM The Triangular Debate of this year was upon the interesting subject of the Minimum Wage for Unskilled Labor. The question was chosen by Zanesville. The affirmative team, defending the question at home, was composed of Bernard Mast ’17, captain, Leon Ransom ’17, Dorothy Duvall ' 19, and Lewis Gale ’18, alternate. Newark sent her strongest team against us and the debate was ex¬ citing and interesting from the very start, with Elwin Davies star¬ ring for Newark. The argument was reasonably close and the de¬ cision of two to one in favor of Zanesville was representative of the relative power of the two teams in this case. We were justly proud of the debaters who were not only finished speakers but thev con¬ ducted themselves as ladies and gentlemen at all times. A banquet was given by the school in honor of the visiting team and a number of excellent speeches were given. The interest shown by the public was greater than it has ever been in the history of the league previous to this year. The auditor¬ ium was packed to its capacity while approximately two hundred people were turned from the doors. The singing was enthusiastic and soul stirring. The support given by the student body is greatly needed and appreciated. NEGATIVE DEBATE TEAM The debating team which unheld the negative side of this in¬ teresting question journeyed to Mt. Vernon. The team was com¬ posed of Paul Baker A8, captain, Ronald Vigus ' 17, Leo Levi ’19, and Clarence Miller ’19, alternate. Every man showed splendid de¬ velopment, initiative and excellent coaching. Some of the most ex¬ travagant praise bestowed upon the team by the chairman and other competent critics makes us very proud of our record there. Mr. Mitchell accompanied this team and reports that the debate was an interesting one in all of its phases. The Mt. Vernon auditorium was well filled and the enthusiasm was well directed and genuine. An excellent banquet was served to debaters and visitors. At this time a number of toasts were given by the judges and coaches. Zanesville will be especially fortunate next year in the matter of material. For the two past years we have had to depend on new material almost entirely. In the team shown above, only one debater, Ronald Vigus, graduates this year. With the proper encouragement there should be no trouble in securing two winning teams for next year. It is rumored that a change will be made in the rules by which each team will be required to have at least one girl debater. This will make it necessary for Zanesville to search out some strong ma¬ terial among the girls to fill out the above team. An excellent way to help is to report to the teams or coach all promising material in your literary society.

It seems to me that there could be no greater honor than to be a member of this illustrious class. As we let our thoughts roam back through the last four years, what glor¬ ious remembrances flash through our minds! Is it any wonder that our hearts are sad when we remember that these are the clos¬ ing days of our High chool years? Therefore, let us together bring back to our minds the entire history of the Class 1 -9-1-7. Now, history, like Caesar’s renowned Gaul, is divided into three parts, according to Myers, the recognized authority for our school (although students of General History are prejudiced with just cause against him). Therefore, let us follow Myers’ example and divide the Senior history into the divisions Ancient, Medieval and Modern. This edition of Myers has been revised, abridged and ab¬ breviated by the censor but a few interesting facts still remain. We will omit the prehistoric ages since definite facts are scarce and begin with Ancient times. Ages ago, back in Sept., 1913, a tribe from the shores of the far-distant Muskingum besieged the portals of the Palace of Knowledge, undaunted by the fact that probably four or five years would be necessary to conquer it. Their deter¬ mined look showed that conquer they would, in the end. But im¬ mediately the gates opened and all entered only to find themselves captives instead of captors. This domain consisted of over a score of small kingdoms, each presided over by a ruler. These rulers, when the stranger came in, immediately subdued and tortured them in various ways. Some, they compelled to carry vast loads of knowledge; others, they guard¬ ed, closely chained, in a small dungeon called the office;; all, they forced to bend to their will. Although the names of most of the kingdoms have been lost, records seem to show the Marshland was an important kingdom and that the two Latin speaking countries were ruled by Queen Mar¬ garet and Queen Zola. One of the first events of which a definite record has been found was a great pow-wow held by the king in which all the tribes par¬ ticipated. It seems that it was to celebrate the day that the poor prisoners entered the lands. At this great festival, we captives, to our great amazement and joy, were held up as examples and ac¬ corded high honor, instead of gracing the tables as some expected. After this we felt as if we belonged in this land. In these early days contests of strength and prowess became very popular and the newcomers entered into the spirit of games of which they had scarcely heard. The king appointed a day to hold them but as the game was not yet well understood, the event was put off till later. Records of this game are very rare but critics seem to believe it resembled our football. The skin of a wild beast was filled with air and the strongest man (probably the one who killed the beast) was given the honor to kick the ball and then the other contestants had a wild, rough struggle to gain possession of it. People of today can hardly realize the cruelty of this sport but in those times it was a great pleasure to watch the fighters, painted with their symbol, blue and white, struggling valiantly for the ball. When the weather became colder, indoor sports held sway. These were along the order of our basketball and probably our pop¬ ular sport originated in those ancient days. Neighboring tribes took part and at first we suffered defeat at their hands but after indus¬ trious practice the victories began to be ours. Then a sad event happened—the fates decreed that annually all the older members of the tribe must leave for distant lands or a dire calamity would befall the whole land. A great farewell was planned in their honor and took place just before their departure. Eveiy- thing was done to keep grief from being shown and to make the affair as cheerful as possible. As a special honor, the new tribe was allowed to preside at a funeral altar which symbolized their de¬ parture as death. Two of the chiefs, Atha and Cashbaugh, made remarks about the solemnity of the occasion and then all bid farewell to their ill-fated kinsmen. Time passed and we come to the time of Medieval history our Sophomore and Junior years. We had increased in culture and learning and were held in the power of a new government. How¬ ever, we passed successfully but with much struggling through the Leisure. Byers, De Camp and Vogt Dynasties. These rulers caused us to work as we never had before. Other customs had changed somewhat but still the annual celebration of our arrival was a grand affair, enjoyed by all. The seasons were so favorable to the crops that immense feasts were held in honor of the goddess of harvest. At these, contests in eating were held in which the hero of the occasion was the one who could eat the most. It is scarcely necessary to mention that the first prize—a nicely bound parchment containing works by Frances Shaw —was awarded to Heber England, the champion. Interest in rough sports had grown as time went on and many struggles of that sort were held in which we overcame our oppon¬ ents quite often. The name football was given to the battles. Rec¬ ords were unearthed recently which show that in these early strifes, three members of our adopted tribe were prominent. Their names, when deciphered from the rude picture writing, appear to be some¬ thing like Boyd, Rheinhold and Crowner. Interest in their indoor game had lagged somewhat because this sport was not exciting enough for these hardy warriors and be cause in this game, they conquered their rivals too easily. The time for the annual departure of the aged ,who in those days were called Seniors, came again. During the past ages, some attention had been given to acting, so to the surprise and joy of all, the events which would happen to the Seniors in othei lands weie so skillfully and happily portrayed, that many were anxious to leave. Then came the years of labor under the Coyner, Wigton and Flesal Dynasties. These were times of great hardships for our burdens were anything but light. Imagine, during the reign of Flesal no language but Latin could be spoken and if the rule was broken, severe punishment followed for the offender. About this time a great Carnival was held in order to get prizes for the mighty athletes of the time. Everybody, no matter in what line were skilled brought the fruits of their labor and sold them, trying to eclipse the others in their offerings to the victors. Chief Pfeiffer revived interest in the more civilized game of basketball and many successful games took place. For quite a while it had been customary for a talking contest to be held annually. The ablest speakers of the day were chosen to meet the best from two other countries far to the west and south. The side which could talk the longest and best,won the laurels. Crowns, tied with the colors of their land, were placed on the heads of those in the winning team. At the last two contests we had car¬ ried off the honors from both our rivals but this time we suffered a double defeat! Our blue and white was not the conqueror! At this time our tribe chose Lee Crowner as chief, with Eliza¬ beth Johnson to aid him and selected red and white for our special color, although still true to the blue and white over us all. A new game came into vogue about this time which was played in the open and to the average onlooker it seemed as if round stones were being thrown at each other, some dodging, some catching and others beating them off with clubs. Anyway, the game was excit¬ ing and more stars were added to our crown. Mention of another wonderful Festival has been found in one of the books of the monks in which the offerings given, seem to have gone to purchase a book, called Comus, for one of the Monasteries. And now long years had rolled away and Medieval days were clouded with mist when we settled down in Z. H. S. in Sept., 1916, to finish the last lap in the race of knowledge, according to the ideas of this modern age. We are the Seniors who the fates decree must leave our much loved institution of learning at the close of this vear and enter unknown realms. The place is Zanesville and we are members of Z. H .S. It is four years and to some five, since we entered the classic portals of Z. H. S. where we, generally speaking, have excelled every other class. For example, count the number of pupils receiving all E’s. The Seniors win! Do not get excited, as no name will be mention¬ ed for fear of causing embarrassment. Our class contains several of the members of the 1916 class who were honored to be allowed to remain with us. having been given an encore in several of their studies. We grieve for those of our number whom we have left behind with the Juniors. When we came back at the beginning of this year, many things were changed. Mr. White was gone and no longer was it neces¬ sary to tell Mr. Swingle that the car was late or that our great¬ grandmother had the toothache, but all our reasons for tardiness must be told to our session teachers, some of whom are not very lenient on days when a good picture show is in town. About the first affair at the school was a pep meeting for ath¬ letics. It seems that such spirit for athletics was never before known. It was planned to have this affair at the fair grounds but rainy weather caused it to be held at the High School. Athletics of this year will go down in history—not a defeat! The glorv goes to the determined fighters on the teams, the excellent coaches and the enthusiastic support of the school. Just think, not a defeat in any athletics—not even by Newark. A new stunt was featured—-that of High School Minstrels. The affair was surely a success and Senior talent fairly dazzled everyone. Then basketball time came and it ended without a defeat al¬ though Mr. Pfeiffers resignation necessitated a change in coaches. But Mr. Diehl saved the day. Remember, with just one exception, every member of this team is a Senior. This year of our graduation was destined to be memorable in every way for Newark and Mt. Vernon both went down in defeat in the Triangular debate. Several members of our class were on the team, Vigus, Mast and Ransom, and the victory is largely due to them and to Mr. Mitchell, the debate coach. The Seniors again gained glory and renown when they pre¬ sented their class play, “As You Like It.’’ The play was one of Shakespeare ' s and was well interpreted. It was a decided success both in its merit and financially. At the recent reception given in our honor, our colors of old gold and white were much in evidence. The success of that event is well known. The deeds of this class would fill a book and still the half not be told. Its future is bright. It has only just begun its illustrious career and is resolved to press onward and “Climb the rock be it ever so rugged, with our class motto ever before us, “To be is bet¬ ter than to seem to be.” CLASS POEM The sun peeped o’er the eastern hills And filled our world with golden rays Of light, and glory, and of hope For ’twas our day of days. We were starting on a journey O’er those trodden paths of life; Where morning brings new joys, And shades of night end strife. Oh! vision of fantastic joy! Oh happy dreams of youth! Behind a veil of splendor there Lay hidden life’s great truth. For where the sweetest roses bloom There lies the sharpest thorn; The hardest battles of life are fought On the day of the fairest morn. So we started on this journey With a leader firm but true, And guides to help us on our way Who were kind and loving too. Oft our weary footsteps faltered, Oft we stumbled, sometimes fell, And our way seemed almost hopeless And how dark, no words can tell. But our guides with arms so faithful Placed our feet on firmer ground And once more the sun shone on us, Scattering darkness from around. Oft our path would cross another Which to us looked smooth and bright And we lingered to consider If ’twould sooner bring us light. But deep from the soul of our leader And his voice with tenderness rings As from Heaven came the answer, “Paths of knowledge lead to greater things.” Sometimes when our feet were weary We would stop to gather flowers And we laughed and played and chatted In the fields and shady bowers. Then again we’d resume our journey But some stopped and lingered too long And heeded not the warning Of the guides as they passed along. And then the lo nliness palled them, They called but ’twas in vain, “Too late!” they cried in their sorrow, “Too late!” the echo came. And the same steadfast glory Is what has kept us firm and true, God, keep and bless them forever Our colors, our white and blue. And now the sun is setting, The toil of the day is done, But we know that this journey Ended, is another just begun. For at the dawning of tomorrow We will seek new paths to roam Into the world so harsh and cold Far from our friends and home. But we can never forget this journey That has bound our hearts in one From the dawning of the morning To the setting of the sun. And together we watch the sunset, Oh! sunset of old gold and white, You tell of a battle fought and won, You tell of a day made light. But the glory of the sunset Soon will fade and pass away, And leave us only memories, Memories that last for aye. But never fades the glory Of the vaulted sky above, It always leads us onward To the lands of peace and love. Madeline Martin CLASS PROPHECY No sooner had I finished my High School course than the won¬ derful desire to travel seized me. A friend in need, a wealthy aunt, invited me to come and visit her in the wilds of Montana. I accepted her invitation and so quick¬ ly did the time pass that I had actually been a Westerner ten years, when suddenly the old desire for travel again mastered me. Who can imagine my delight when my aunt proposed that we take a trip around the world ? Of course I did not dream of seeing any of my schoolmates out in the wilds of Montana, and I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw Paul McSwords, now owner of a large ranch. When I asked him why he was out west and what he was doing, to my surprise he said that he was completing a new plan for raising pumpkins on corn stalks. I tried my best not to laugh at him and even felt doubt¬ ful when he showed me a large squash growing on a stalk of corn. Stanley Welsh was his assistant. We were at the depot, ready to leave Montana for St. Louis, when a newsboy accosted us. My aunt, who could read a little French, bought a paper and translated the stray bits of conversa¬ tion. “The world’s greatest dentist, Dr. William Robenalt, had dis¬ covered a marvellous kind of glue, which could be used for a variety of purposes—but the most important was that of applying it to a set of false teeth. It entirely eliminated the slightest possibility of swallowing them in one ' s sleep. All of the crowned heads of Europe were using it. William had always been noted for his stick-to-it- iveness. He was assisted by Byron Boyle. When we reached St. Louis, I was destined to meet some more of my classmates. Having some trouble over money matters, I de¬ cided to drop in at the law office and was much surprised to find that two of my schoolmates, Mary Mills and Helen McNeil, were worthy of the joint title of Masters of Law,” and were practicing before Judge Lee Crowner. They told me that Lela Covert and Ellen German were great detectives and had just been succssful in tracing a ruby necklace from the Fiji Islands to Australia. I also went to a suffraget meeting, although I have never been a suffragette, and was much interested in a debate between Helen Haas and Lena Barr on the question: “‘Resolved, That a Woman’s Husband Hin¬ ders Her Political Rights. Lena took the affirmative side, while Helen took the negative. As we left the building we met Harold Wine, who was now engineer for the Pole Railway Company and was engaged in the work of constructing a railroad to the North Pole. He was being helped by Robert Boyd. In Chicago I saw my old friends, Margaret Roberts and Eliza¬ beth McCann. But horrors of horrors! Margaret said she had discovered a medicine that would make fat people slender and hand¬ some in sixty minutes, while Elizabeth vowed that she could make anyone fat in an equal space of time! Fearing that they would try their wonderful powers on my aunt and me, I soon left their estab¬ lishment and wended my way towards the newspaper office of Charles Chappelear. I found, not at all to my surprise, that Charles was editor of one of the greatest newspapers in Chicago, for he had often shown his knowledge of editorial affairs in the Comus of Z. H. S. In glancing over the headlines of the paper I saw in one of them: “Coming to Chicago soon ! Rev. Fuller Sherlock, D. D.. the world’s greatest evangelist. Accompanying him will be Ruth Gib- bons, known throughout the United States for her charity work. Also, Donald McCann, the world ' s famous choir leader, will he with the party. When I came out from the office a sign board caught my eye. I saw that Elizabeth Turner would appear that night in the great show of the season. 1 immediately made inquiries at the box office, and by means of a few greenbacks I managed to get behind the scenes. I stopped before the door bearing the word “tar and knocked. A voice bade me enter, and doing so 1 saw my old friend “Liz.” We were glad to see each other, and questions flew thick and fast. I found out that the leading man was Russell McSwords and Liz said he was still single. From Chicago we traveled to Washington. On visiting the supreme court, I saw Russell Jackson, an associate judge of that honorable assembly. As we had often wished to see Canada we decided to make a short tour to Quebec. How fortune did favor me! For here again I met my old classmates, Jackson Printz and Clarence Bell, just re- turning from their fifth visit to the North Pole. They said they were deeply interested in a great institution up north where Hattie Todd and Aileen Livingood were perfecting a plan of hatching chickens on ice. They also said they had met Leon Ransom, who was just preparing to take his second visit to the moon. In New York, my aunt and I stayed at Hotel Astor where we met the proprietor, Delmar Arclrey, a great business man. Staying at the same hotel was Helen Weaver, who was becoming very popu¬ lar with young lovers of America, because of her book, “How to Overcome Bashfulness.” Here also I saw Clara Truesdell who told me that she was traveling with a large circus as “the Midget of America.” She certainly had not grown much since I had last seen her. I also learned from Clara what had become of Olive White. She was endeavoring to uplift humanity—which.goodnessknows, was being completely run down by automobiles—by conducting a good, old-fashioned boarding ' school for young ladies, and each year was being forced to turn hundreds from her doors by lack of space. In this wonderful school Clara Offenbacher, who had been there since the beginning, was a most proficient instructress in music. Dorothy Click was teaching German, the finest German teacher in that part of the country. Now just as we were ready to cross the ocean, whom should I see but Clifford Farrell and his great airship, which had been mak¬ ing tours to and from Europe for the last few years. He asked us to cross with him and so of course I could not miss the opportunity of crossing the Atlantic in that unique manner. Here in Paris I saw Artha Hart, Ruth Garland, Villa Bridwell and Ethel Carey, enjoying immensely the golden cup of society. Adelaide Kaplan I located in a large art academy designing fash¬ ions and using as her model Marie Hannum. Marie told me that Maria MacLean and Louise Claudy were coming to Paris to de¬ liver one of their great lectures on “The Horror and Indignities of Giggling. In Russia we found Margaret Fitz and Golden Moore in a great university—Golden as instructor of music, and Margaret in the Do¬ mestic Science Department. So these girls, contrary to their former intentions, had chosen to be school teachers! Our last visit in Europe was at Rome. One evening as we sat in our rooms in the hotel reading the newspaper, I was greatly aston¬ ished to read about Heber England, who, having risen in the polit- ical world, was chosen as adviser to the Pope. There was also an announcement that Carl Cashbaugh was now taking the place of Al. G. Fields in the minstrel world, known as Cashbaugh ' s Coons, and they would appear in the largest theater there that night. On our way across the ocean we picked up a paper, which was, purchased before we started, and there in large headlines was “Louise Miller elected President of the United States.” After read¬ ing farther down the column I found that she had become very pop¬ ular in the United States as a suffragette. I certainly told every one I possibly could on that ship, that I graduated from Z. H. S. in the class with her. My! How proud I felt. As soon as we landed we immediately started for Ohio, and the first place of interest when we reached Ohio was Zanesville. My, what a change! We first went to the dear old Z. H. S., and we found Flo Dodds now teaching Virgil, and Roswell Fidler was the new principal. Talking to Flo, she told me that Francis Shaw was author of a new kind of Latin pony now much in use in high school circles, because of its ability to carry the student over the rough places. I was very much surprised, for Francis was so opposed to ponies. In going through the old familiar halls I next met Ralph Green, who was now making a grand success in teaching German. 1 was not the least astonished for he was always wonderfully brilliant in his German classes when a student in Z. H. S. On inquiring about members of the 1917 class, he told me that Virginia Gibbons was now the wife of an Episcopal minister and was a very important character in the church, taking active part with her violin. During my long absence, Drs. August Miller and Ruey Rhodes had built up astonishingly large practices in Crooksville and Mt. Perry and were advertised as being able to cure anybody from a baby with the colic to a woman with hysteria. Richard Reinhold had also invented a patent medicine in Balti¬ more which was advertised as “really not killing anybody, but inci¬ dentally curing a few.” I was really not surprised, since he was such a grand worker in our Comus, to hear that Bernard Mast was now society editor of the Fultonham Times Star! I heard that Margaret Sutphen and Madaline Martin were now industrious farmer’s wives and were using an automatic cradle and carpet sweeper combined, which could he put into use by turning on the lights. This great machine was invented by Arthur Francis. I was very much surprised when I heard about Helen Allwood. She had been disappointed in love, and had gone to Germany as a Red Cross nurse, and Fern Bateman accompanied her as war cor¬ respondent. Thus I had again heard of or seen all my classmates. In look¬ ing back over my travels, 1 noted proudly that they had all done something worth while, and had all been of some use to the world. But I, what could 1 say of myself? Only that I had traveled around the world, and seen all of my classmates as enthusiastic workers, without doing anything myself, and then I settled back with my aunt, into the mountains again, an indolent old maid.

The National Shock Absorber Again People have been asking us how the Federal Reserve System acts as a shock absorber. In the past, whenever a shock came the banks felt it first. Most of our 29,000 banks started to strengthen themselves and stopped loaning money, which slowed up business all along the line. We have strengthened our¬ selves in advance by joining the Federal Reserve System, and when trouble comes can confidently go ahead with our usual business, knowing that the great resources of this System are at our back.

During that time it has received over $7,500,000.00 of the people’s money. This immense sum has been safely invested in first mortgage real estate loans and returned to the owners, on demand, without the loss of a single dollar. Since its organization it has paid to its depositors and stockholders as interest and dividends nearly $500,000.00. WHAT IT DOES 1. It receives money on savings deposit on which it pays 4 per cent interest. 2. It receives money on stock deposit and pays 6 per cent interest. 3. The money so received it lends on first mortgage real estate security. WHAT IT DOES NOT 1. It does not lend one dollar of its depositors’ or stockholders’ money on personal security. 2. It does not speculate in stocks or bonds of any kind. 3. It does not do a checking or commercial banking business. The Equitable Savings Company 508 Main Street, Zanesville, Ohio H. E.

MISQUOTED QUOTATIONS “Where ignorance is bliss— Is not in the class room.” “Man wants little here below—and gets it.” “Uneasy lies the head that fears exams.” “Be ye ever so homely, There ' s no place like home.” “’Tis distance lends enchantment to the view— Of the painted cheek; now ain’t it true?” “It is a long lane that has no ash-barrel.” “It is the early bird that catches the cold.” “Honesty is not the best politics.” “As ye sew, so shall ye rip.” “A potato in the hand is worth two in the store.” Freshman (looking in the auditorium)—“My, they must be scarce of pianos around here. I saw two girls playing on the same one.” Miss Marsh—“What is the meaning of ‘celerity’?” Student—“It’s something to put hot plates down with.” Mr. Smith—“There are two kinds of women I am afraid of.” Mr. Wert—“Only two?” Mr. Smith—“Yes, the married ones and the single ones.” Mr. Richards—“Is your wife entertaining this spring?” Mr. Leasure—“Not very. —■♦— Query—“Why is it that a woman’s mind it so much cleaner than a man’s ?” Ans.—“Because they change them so much oftener.” Miss Petty—“What is an injunction?” James—“Why it’s a part of the market house.” (Ouch).

The wise advertiser does not judge printing by its cost, but by the returns it brings. Catalogs in which artistic color illustrations are free¬ ly used are more frequently consulted than that of a rival house issuing only a plain black and white catalog. The printing of color plates is not a trade—it is an art. We have received especial mention by the leading printers’ journals of this country on the high class color printing we are turning out.

A FABLE Once upon a time in the reign of the good Printz thei e was erected a wonderful tower which was Allwood, and upon this struc¬ ture was erected a Bell which would summon the villagers when the first speck of a White sail or the point of a tall Mast shown above the horizon. The Rhodes are soon filled with hurrying people, the Mills stop work and each housewife will Turner face towards the sea even though her dinner is at the Boyl. T he children Ransome to get there and their Brown faces were alight with joy. What was the occasion of this interest? The good ship was bringing to the shores of England the choice Wine of the German vineyards.

We have a young ' man, Rus McSwords, Who has many times bored the Board, He likes to be it, His hat doesn’t fit, But he gets there—just like a Ford. We admit of a young man named Green, His ecpial we never have seen, He has always been taught And he must hold a lot For he can’t write an Eng. IV theme. And there is a nice Junior named Baker, His merits would fill all of this paper. His head starts to whirl When he talks to a girl And her heart is sure to forsaker. Yes, there’s a Senior named Ransom, At using his brain, well, he can some, When it comes to debate We are proud to relate He cleaned up Newark quite handsome. There were 150 Freshmen in Zanesville, Who came here to get their brains full, The Board set a date To let them graduate, And what do you think, gentle reader?

Our drinking- fountains should be labeled, “Danger!” Our statuary improveth not with modern adornments. Education might improve a dog but we would rather have them left at home. We wonder—If we gave the Comus away would some people still borrow their neighbor’s paper? Look up the Dresden and New Lexington Annuals—compare our advertising sections, and see who is loyal to Z. H. S. A new history is soon to he put upon the market entitled “The Decline and Fall of the Market House.” We like bouquets better than hammers—but they don’t make such a lasting impression. Do you get it? BOUQUETS THROWN BY THE OFFICE CAT No chance to loaf on the Comus staff this year. I tell you, some of those boys are real workers. The way the commercial department of Z. H. S. donates its services in the matter of typewriting, etc., is an inspiration and a help to all of us. Speaking of service—Do we often stop to think what we would all do without the gracious daily help received from Miss Glick and Miss Goodlive? Have you noticed what an improvement and advantage it has been to have a real bulletin board ? That fire drill is a good “stunt,” don’t you think? Just by way of a sunflower, we’ve gotten a mighty good deal in the matter of our printing this year and it’s all due to the courte¬ ous and efficient service of the Courier Co. We thought the Lecture Course pretty good this year. If you are an observing person you have seen what the people like. Last but far from least—Do you know what it means to break loose from precedent and publish an Annual costing $325 or more, and hustle over $150 worth of advertising, so that you could buy it at one-balf the cost price?

You can’t look up and meet his eyes, You don’t know what to say, When ciphers are staring at you In a lonesome sort of way.
