PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Ladies and Gentlemen, Students, and members of the Class of Nineteen Twenty ' Five: Today the graduates of the class of 1925 have gathered to bid farewell to this institution, its faculty, and students. Today is the conclusion of our scholastic activities in Zanesville High School. Each member of this class now stands at the very portals of a new life. We have assurance that the training we have received here has prepared us for the future. Knowing that achievement is greatly influenced by thoroughness of preparation, we feel that we have here laid the cornerstone of life, success, and happiness. We wish to express our gratitude to the faculty of Zanesville High School for their ceaseless ef ' forts in guiding us this far and for the development of our intellectual powers. The service they have devoted in our behalf is appreciated more than words can express. Believing that Knowledge is Power, we feel that we have here firmly established the foundation for our future life’s work. Knowledge is the acquisition of facts. Wis- dom is the capacity of judging soundly and dealing broadly whth the facts in their practical relations with life and conduct. Knowledge together with the ability to ac- complish or achieve is truly Power in the strictest sense of the term. In no age since the dawn of civilization has it been any truer than it is today that Knowledge is Power. We perceive that embodied in these words, which have stood the test of ages, is a standard by which we may at all times judge ourselves and judge others. It is truly a beacon to enlighten us on our way. Everyone wishes to do something great in life, not only for renown, but for the personal satisfaction of feeling that one has done something worth while; in other words, most everyone has the desire to succeed. Although knowledge is essential to success, if you lack that power of persistency which knows no surrender, achievement in any life’s work will never attain a degree of perfection and distinction. The resolute will and self ' determination to accomplish something carries one forward and prepares one to meet the obstacles in life’s pathway with firmness of mind and spirit. No one ever attains the extent of his possibilities, who is afraid to attempt things that “can’t be done.” Nearly everything that has been accomplished in this world seemed at one time to be impossible. The civilization of the world would still be in its elementary state if it were not for those who with determination and wilbpower succeeded in spite of obstacles. Abraham Lincoln exemplifies the spirit of self ' determination. He was re ' solved to have an education and by tenacity of purpose educated himself. Hardship, opposition and even ridicule did not restrain his purpose but strengthened his resolute aims. To people who have the determination to get along in this world each circunv stance in life may be turned to advantage. Dickens once said, “Every difficulty teaches a man something if he will learn.” Man developes only through self ' effort. Without honest endeavor and many struggles there would be no progress. Firm determination has an important moral bearing on our success, for it leads others to have confidence in us, and this is always essential. Now as we are about to begin our battle of life, let us look forward to the remark ' able things which we desire to win. Magnify our possibilities, minimize our difficulties, let our staff be courage, our guide self-confidence,’ and no matter what obstacles bar the way, we will reach our goal. “He who knows what he ought to do, how he ought to do it, and has at the same time acquired desire, power and skill to accomplish, approxi- mates the purpose of his life.” Francis Alter. COML S ANNUAL, 1925 A DRAMA OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE FAMOUS CLASS OF ’25 (The account of this drama is given by a member of the audience) General Setting —The Senior High School, Zanes ' ville, Ohio. Cast —The renowned 389. Minor Characters and C h o r u s e s —Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors and Teachers. The audience, including the Z. H. S. faculty and principal, are all awaiting with expectancy the drawing of the curtains. It is not often that such a drama as this comes to Zanesville and with the orig ' inal cast. In fact, this is the first of its kind to be presented in our city. It is now 8:10, the time for the curtain to rise. The curtains part and the manager of the theater presents himself before the eager audience and says, “Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to witness the most spectacular drama of the ages, even surpassing Shakespeare’s immortal dramas. It was with great ' est difficulty that we obtained this company of celebrities and in appreciation of their kindness due respect must be shown them. Now a word as to the nature of the play. In each act ten months will elapse with a short intermission between acts. ACT I The curtains part and the 389, all clad in green, come rushing in, jostling and bumping the minor characters (the seniors). They all seem bent fo r one place. A minute elapses and these 389 again hurry across the stage. This time they are all carrying small slips of white paper and madly they rush up to the minor characters and ask questions about dif ' ferent rooms. These minor characters laugh and make all manner of fun of these greemclad person ' ages, but they are undaunted—they are too optimis ' tic and egotistic to mind such trifles. The playgoers’ attention is attracted to one side of the stage by yelling and shouting where football and basket ' ball games are in progress. These green-clad people arc among the most enthusiastic rooters and three from their number are participants in these games. On the opposite side of the stage voices of purest note are heard and by consulting our programs we learn that this is the Z. H. S. Glee Club. In fact, in all directions we see different activities and the 389 are ever at the front aiding with their genius. Curtain ACT II Again the cast somewhat reduced in number by one strenuous season assemble on the stage. They no longer are clad in green but are wearing colors more appropriate to indicate their more dignified position. In Glee Club, band, orchestra, Hi ' Y clubs, athletics, and other school activities they again display their ability, enthusiasm and a loyal spirit to their school. COMUS AHHUAL, 1925 The athletic honors are of no small note—four from their number receive letters. As they pass along the stage the audience can see that the cast of the class of ’25 have convened with one aim in mind—to make their class the best to graduate from their alma mater. Curtain ACT III The actors and actresses have now dwindled in number. They are fewer but of greater talent. A more ardent spirit, and a more loyal devotion to their school is displayed than in either of the two precede insr acts. The audience concludes from their actions that they are acting but that they are wholeheartedly entering upon this project, that of making their class renowned. In every direction to which the glances of the audience chance to wander, they see students intent upon making a success. Here is the Comus Staff and three from this renowned cast work with untiring effort to make the paper a success. There to the left a group of these famous people are clus- tered. They are staging the play “Honor Bright, and oh, what dramatic ability they exhibit! On the opposite side of the stage a feast is in progress. The audience observes that the participants of this fes- tal assemblage are the members of this renowned class and the minor characters, the seniors. The faces of the famous class of ’25 are all aglow with pride and joy because they are entertaining the seniors. From the back of the stage voices of great power and expression are heard. They are uttering reasons pro and con in defense and opposition of some great question. No, they are not Patrick Henrys but the Junior representatives on the Z. H. S. debating teams. As in the two previous acts, all the school activities claim no small number of these celebrities as their faithful and efficient members. Curtain ACT IV Scene 1 —The Senior High School. When the players assemble on the stage their ac- tion is that of confidence and self-reliance. Their expressions seem to say, “Well, we are seniors, we are indispensable.” They are the informers, no longer can they be informed. In truth, they are the faculty advisors. How diligently and perseveringly a group of these students are writing and poring over books. They are working as if their lives de¬ pended upon the success of this project. Why, this is the Comus staff. All the members of the audience had heard of the Comus by the Class of ' 25 but never before had they seen the staff. A number of new activities are functioning here and there. The La Societe des Beaux Arts occupies a conspicuous place to the right. From whence mu¬ sic of rarest quality both vocal and instrumental is heard. From another side where the members of the Current Events Club are clustered impressive voices are heard discussing the questions of today. In the center is the Boosters ' Club and they are truly boost¬ ers. But not lurking in the background are the old activities, Hi-Y Clubs, Glee Club, and others. They are all thronged with these illustrious members of the cast. All eyes are turned to the left where football games are in action. Never had the audience seen such plays, such stratagem, such tackling, such hon¬ ors. Yes, nine from the ranks of the seniors are re¬ ceiving letters for their heroic efforts. After the excitement of football dwindled, the attention of the audience is centered on triangular debate. They are amazed and astounded at the debators ' oratorical ability. Four of the most outstanding and convincive debators are from this class of ’25. Scene 2—Gym at New Concord. Clustered around the basketball floor are bevies of girls and groups of boys. They all seem highly ex¬ cited and eagerly expectant. Just then a whistle sounds and the cause of their joy and nervousness is learned when the Blue Devils, the Z. H. S. basket¬ ball team, come rushing in upon the floor. No won¬ der this noisy mob is so happy, because this is indeed a team worthy of admiration and pride. The whistle sounds and the games begin. Every one is hushed and awed by the strategic and brilliant plays of the Z. H. S. team. The ball is first here and there, but the Blue Devils with their speed and their ingenuity carry the ball to victory. V hat a team it is, what plays they use, what a triumph it is to win the Southeastern Ohio Championship! Why, this means that the Z. H. S. team is one of the eight best in Ohio. At no time had such a victory been won by a Z. H. S. team. This was indeed a double vic¬ tory for the seniors for six of the outshining stars COMUS ANNUAL, 192) are from their number. The great gymnasium echoes and re-echoes with the lusty songs and yells of the excited cast when the glittering trophy cup is pre- sented to the team. As a climax to the season of basketball victories a banquet of great significance and splendor takes place. Scene 3 —Senior High School. When the famous seniors walk across the stage it is evident that this is the day on which senior pic¬ tures are to be taken. The boys look like arrow col¬ lar ads and the g irls like Parisian models. This is truly a play within a play, for to the left a group of these students with unmistakable ability are staging the play, “The Big Idea. As the 210 assemble on the stage and for the last time sing their Alma Mater, there is a note of sad¬ ness, of regret in their music. During four acts, all too short, these players had studied together, borne the same trials, been put to the same tests, endured the same teachers and loved the same stage, but now all must end. Steadier and stronger grow their voices, clearer and more forcefully the measures of the Alma Mater ascend into the air, their expres¬ sions change from that of sorrow and grief to that of determination as there comes to their minds those undying words of Shakespeare—■ All the world s a stage where every man must play his part.” Epilogue The history’s told, now the play is done, Ail is well ended, if this prayer be won, That you express content: which we will pay With strife to please you, day exceeding day. Frances Ledman, ’25. COMUS AHKUAL, 1925 The mist that dimmed our eyes has cleared away, And now we see ourselves in different light. We know we are the victors in the fray, Whose outcome seemed uncertain to the sight. For even when our fondest dreams come true. And we attain those heights toward which we fought The fickle world is gowned in colors new, With doubt and disappointment as our lot. Let not forgetfulness erase the past, Nor look on it as time forever l ost, For all the bending of those winds will last, And every hour of toil was worth the cost. Each unborn hope and secret thought will be A full blown flower when the mind grows old, Whose bloom will rest upon youth’s thymele, The fragrance of a story never told. And like the sun whose early morning fire Ascends with majesty into the skies, So should our aims be ever upward, higher, If we would hope to gain the honored prize. Not like the summer cloud that aimless drifts, But strong and steadfast like the mountain peak, For we should not forget those priceless gifts That bring us strength, but wasted, leave us weak. For when we go from here to take our place As one of many in the laboring throng, And think of all the hardships we must face, Then we can offer thanks for being strong. And like the mountains towering above the land, Whose greatness lasts thruout eternity, So shall the things that we’ve accomplished stand, A token of our life for men to see. We know that Memory keeps a magic book, Wherein is writ the secrets of our soul, And if we would upon its pages look, A smile or heartache must be paid as toll. But as we put this day into its care, And think of what these golden hours have meant, Let’s put our sweetest and our truest friendships there, And Memory will surely be content. —Leonard Wolford COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 The world today is torn with strife and conflict. Political dissension, religious controversy, and inter¬ national rivalry are assuming appalling magnitude. Present conditions are causing man to become more selfish and narrow-minded in his social relations than ever before. ' Are such conditions conducive to fur¬ ther human progress? The world has been gradually advancing since the Dawn of Creation. Yet the world has at last been halted in its advance because of the undesirable con¬ sequences of the World War. Progress must be resumed with redoubled energy if the best interests of humanity are considered. As the world advances in wisdom and in social progress, problems of increasingly great magnitude confront the nations of the earth. One of the most perplexing problems confronting the wisdom of man at the present is the attainment of World-Peace. World-Peace will prove to be a humanitarian blessing enacted by the nations of the earth in the best interests of human society. World-Peace is es¬ sential to any higher development. This problem, worthy of the consideration of the noblest statesmen, has been brought to a climax by the recent dreadful catastrophe, officially known as the World War. Instigated by the greedy desire of an unmerciful des¬ pot in control of a powerful nation. As a direct • result of this war, the flower of the world ' s manhood has either passed to the Great Beyond, or remains, crushed and broken, mute testimony of the devas¬ tating ravages of war. The United States, since her official birth, has al¬ ways been recognized as a world-power by other na¬ tions, although she has always, so far as possible, maintained her policy of isolation. She has proved conclusively that she is an able warrior and a dan¬ gerous foe; she has never permitted the Monroe Doc¬ trine to be violated nor allowed any nation to in¬ fringe upon her rights. She has shown herself to be a true and worthy friend and ally; she has steadily risen in the esteem of the nations of the earth until she is today conceded a place of leadership among the most progressive nations. The United States has attained this coveted posi¬ tion of leadership, not by brute force, but by the education and unceasing energy of her citizens. This nation has led in the field of scientific invention. By the world-wide utilization of these inventions, the nations of the earth have been brought into closer contact, thereby creating an ever-increasing number of world problems. Aviation, wireless telegraphy, and countless other modern conveniences have been invented and developed to their present efficiency by the wisdom and perseverance of Man. Man today rules the air, the land, and the sea. This close inter¬ national contact has enabled our country to assert her supremacy in every respect, not by force, but by peaceful diplomacy. Present world economic relations are unbalanced and disrupted. So closely must this be interwoven with social relations that the world today stands on the brink of economic ruin and social chaos. That dreadful catastrophe must be averted, the only pos¬ sible temedy is World-Peace. If World-Peace were accomplished, mankind would be able to concentrate its efforts upon the fur¬ ther development of civilization. The combative in¬ stinct of man has been the primary cause of war. Let us satisfy our combative instinct by fighting the enemies of humanity—disease, crime, ignorance, and COMUS AHHUAL, 1925 other welfare problems. In this manner we would simultaneously benefit humanity and appease our combative instinct. The result of such action would be a magnificent, truly inspiring civilization, the grandeur of which the world has never even dreamed. In the event of another war, it would be unnecessary to determine the victor, for victor, van ' quished and the rest of the world would go down in utter chaos to the most barbaric of civilizations. Shall the United States, for minor selfish preju- dices, neglect her place of leadership and permit the present civilization, emblematic of man ' s progress through the ages, to be destroyed or shall she lead the way to World-Peace? The United States is morally obligated to lead the way to that far-distant goal. Her citizens must pre- pare themselves and the world for the responsibility of World ' Peace so that the attempt may be truly successful. The United States must set the example, the progressive nations will follow, and the success of World ' Peace will be assured. World ' Peace can never be successful unless man develops an opeivminded attitude toward all affairs. Man must free himself from the shackles of tradi ' tion, prejudice, and bigotry, and thereby elevate him- self from the obscure depths of savage barbarity in which he now exists. Shackled to tradition, preju- dice, and bigotry, man has constantly fought all at ' tempts at progress. Men who have propounded new ideas have been scoffed and ridiculed by their fellow ' men until the truth of their reasoning was proved. Galileo, one of the most distinguished of the ancient physicists, was twice persecuted by the inquisition on charges of heresy by the blind and furious big ' otry of the monks, because his discoveries and teach ' ings were beyond their power of comprehension. Except for men like him, open-minded, freed from tradition and prejudice, capable of drawing their conclusions from facts and logic, the world could never have advanced. As future citizens of the United States, we must develop an open-minded attitude. To do so, let us always seek the truth. We must see and earnestly study both sides of a question before coming to a conclusion. Too often, knowing well that we aie wrong, do we attempt to justify by doubtful reason¬ ing our false convictions. Such thought is worse than no thought at all. We must learn to be able to en¬ dure the uncertainty of waiting until we have suffi¬ cient evidence to justify our convictions. Until we attain an open-minded attitude, we have not con¬ quered the realm of mental development. Shall the realm of mental development remain unconquered and our civilization be halted in its progress? The most laudable men of our history, men like Lincoln, Washington, and Roosevelt, towered above the common people of their day in their personal development. These men are historically outstanding be cause of their superior mental development and their high standard of Christian character. These qualities are the reasons for their success as leaders because their followers trusted and admired them. Good Christian character is essential to a well-devel¬ oped person; let us, therefore, develop this quality. The citizens of the United States must labor on until their goal is reached and we are a nation of Lincolns, Washingtons, and Roosevelts. The leaders of such a nation will be able to lead the world to peace and prosperity. No satisfactory scheme of World-Peace is adapted to present conditions. Life itself is a process of adaptation, as is shown by the following example: If we, starting on our brief journey in active life, attempt to make the world adapt itself to us, we are forsaken by mankind and regarded as a failure. Yet, if we adapt ourselves to conditions and environment, we can easily attain success. Likewise, World-Peace cannot adapt itself to the present state of conflict; we must adapt ourselves to World-Peace and the conditions will then be favorable to its success. World-Peace may be likened unto the United States Government. A small group of hardy pio¬ neers, after calm deliberation, decided that a change was needed in the existing political, religious, and social conditions. They came to America and cre¬ ated the desired conditions. Others followed their example and today there stands as a memorial to their wisdom and vision, the United States Govern¬ ment, one of the most efficient forms of government in existence. World-Peace will be created in like manner. The favorable conditions will be created and the example set by the United States the other nations will follow, and World-Peace will be a suc¬ cess. If the world should be so unfortunate as to have another war, the entire world would go down to economic ruin and social chaos, the civilization acquired through the ages would be destroyed, and we would exist in a state of savage barbarity. If the world is unable to adapt itself to World-Peace, does COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 ' the world not deserve its ultimate sad fate? When World-Peace is assured, the energies of man will be turned into productive occupations. The combative instinct of man will be appeased, not by the destruction of naan’s previous progress, to the detriment of mankind; but rather in the destruction of man’s enemies to the further advancement of civ- illation. Let us elevate ourselves from the obscure depths of savage barbarity in which we now exist to the higher planes of civilized progress. If every indi¬ vidual develops into a broad, open-minded citizen, the conditions favorable for the establishment of World-Peace will be created, World-Peace will be established, and the. world will exist in a magnificent, truly inspiring civilization. Let us begin to create these conditions and the world may then look for¬ ward to the establishment of World-Peace in glori¬ ous anticipation of prosperity. As we travel the way to a higher personal development and, consequently, World-Peace, let us keep as our goal the thought so well expressed in those inspiring lines by Tennyson: For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that | would be; Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of I magic sails, ji Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain ' d a ghastly dew From the nations’ airy navies grappling in the central blue; ‘ Far along the world-wide whisper of the southwind rushing warm, With the standards of the peoples plunging thro ' the j thunder-storm; Till the war-drum throbb’d no longer, and the battle j flags were furled In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the j world. George L. McBride. I I COMUS ANNUAL,, 1925 Her doleful tongue cannot but tell Of future days to pass; Of failures and successes bright Which shall befall this class.

COMUS AHHUAL, 1925 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1925 We, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five, realizing that this is our last opportunity to avenge ourselves on our teach¬ ers and on our other enemies, and knowing that we can now accomplish the aforesaid purpose with immunity to ourselves, do hereby make, publish, and declare our last Will and Testament as follows: FIRST—To the school as a whole, including the faculty, we bequeath the privilege of sitting on the recently-built fence which surrounds our high school building and the privilege of admiring the spacious lawn where the grass is now springing forth. However, they must not trod upon the aforesaid grass for we wish to preserve the beauty of our campus. Desiring to immortalize and perpetuate our name and fame in this institution through all the years to come, we decided to leave an enduring memorial, useful as well as ornamental. For that pur¬ pose we now formally present to the school as a whole, and to the classes that will follow us in Zanesville High School, a buck, some parallel bars, a swinging boom, and some flying rings to put on display in our gymnasium. We trust and hope that this memorial will preserve our memory among the students who will attend this school in the future. SECOND—To the present Junior Class we bequeath the privilege of being dignified seniors next year. They may elect officers, pick class pins, and perform the other functions of seniors, always bearing in mind our good example. We leave them, also, the supervision of the underclassmen and beg them to always treat them kindly. They may also loiter in the hallway to gossip without a re¬ primand from any of the teachers. Moreover, we bequeath to the Juniors the inalienable right. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 which we were denied, to quarrel over their senior memorial until June 1. We also bequeath to the Junior girls the right to powder then- noses before leaving the building when the fire gong rings. We also bequeath to the Junior boys the right to wear squeaky, hobmailed shoes, hats with the brims turned down all around, bright ' colored ties, and all the other latest fashions. THIRD_To the present Sophomore Class we bequeath the right to have a class play. In choosing this play they must have a Big Idea, and in producing it they must be “Honor Bright. FOURTH_To the present Freshman Class we commit the future Fresh¬ man Class to do with as they desire. We ask them to remember, however, that the next Freshman Class will be smaller than they are and that a large class should not bully a small class. We also give the Freshmen the right to use the Fifth Street entrance next year. FIFTH—To the future Freshman Class we bequeath the privilege of being defeated by the Junior High Schools in athletics, but otherwise they are to follow the good example of the illustrious Class ol 1925. Moreover, when they are in our hallways they are not to push and crowd as other Freshman classes have done. When they see an upperclassman approaching they must conceal themselves behind one of our beautiful statues or hide in a dark corner until he has passed. SIXTH—To the faculty, collectively and individually, we bequeath the privilege of attempting to teach the succeeding classes as much knowledge as they have taught us, providing they consider how in ' telligent and even precocious we have always been. To Mr. Mansperger we bequeath the right to rule the high school and its environs, as lord of the domain, on one condition, namely, that he does not administer a spanking to any senior, since that would belittle their dignity. We also bequeath to Mr. Mansperger the parking space in front of the main entrance for his own personal use. Mr. Stookey and Mr. Boggs are not to encroach upon this privilege. To Mr. Schneider, since he has often expressed the desire, we bequeath the right to have a leave of absence for one year for the avowed purpose of becoming a “salt sea pirate, a tarry buccaneer.” He may sail over the Spanish Main and practice the atrocities of the piiate s piofession so long as he continues to “develop his high ' est self” and does not “sink in the scale.” COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 To Miss Higgins we leave the right to set the styles for the school for the next year. We ask her that red and green be the predominating colors in next year’s styles. To Mr. Stookey we leave the right to be the clown of the faculty. Whenever he goes into the auditorium he is to perform for the benefit of the underclassmen. He may also do his act in the hallways at noons if he so desires. SEVENTH—To Fred Sink we bequeath the exclusive right to use the ponderous phrases which have given Ed. Garret the reputation of being intoxicated with the exurberance of his own verbosity. To Raymond Smith we bequeath Carl Bonifield’s fame as an athlete. To Marguerite Smith we bequeath the privilege of starring in the class plays as Frances Spalding has done in the past. We bequeath Waldemar Schmidt’s popularity with the girls to Russell Doz;er. The right to promenade the hall arm in arm, which has been previously held by Lonny Nutter and Frances Truesdell, we be- queath to August Schmidt and Gene Hunter. In closing we wish to express our regret on leaving our friendly enemies, Mr. Schneider, Mr. Shuter, Miss Schaeffer, and Miss Arnold; we wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Orth, Mr. Clifford, Mr. Vander ' vort, and Miss Polk for their help in gaining the phenomenal success which we have achieved in school activities; we wish to leave a message of good luck and success to all those who remain in Zanesville High School.

(Brooks) High School Orchestra COMUS A HUAL, 1925 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY A Play in Three Acts “For life is but a stage and we the players ACT I Time: September, 1922. Place: Z. H. S. Enter: a very green class of freshmen who pretend to know just what to do and where to go. But did they, the class of ’26, stay green long? No! We soon learned to rush around the halls as fast as the sophomores, lament over our algebra grades as loudly as the juniors, and to attend almost as many functions as the seniors. But the first day was trying, to say the least. In the mad hunt for session rooms, some of us, detailed to rooms 10 and 11, were rather suspicious when some dignified upper classman would direct us to “the far end of the hall and down those steps.” It looked like a trick to show us up but we were pleas- antly disappointed. We soon got down to business and took our ample part in the school activities. In athletics we exhib- ited much good material, both for football and bas- ketball. Not only were we capable along athletic lines, but we tried a hand at everything and suc- cessfully too. Exit: in June, the merriest class that you can inv agine, and why not, for we were to return next year for another dose of fun and education. ACT II Time: September, 1923. Place: Same. Enter: after a strenuous vacation, a very browned class of sophomores. (Browned may mean sum burned or simply well done, but at least we were no longer green.) Then we began to show what we could really do. In athletics we surely came out on top, furnishing some very brilliant athletes. The rest of us, though less brilliant, perhaps, followed faithfully along at all the games, and our pep and cheering were not last nor least. In addition to our interest in the different organi- zations, we were represented on the debate squad by Frederick Sink, of whom we are justly proud. Furthermore, we were members of a very inter- esting Latin club, “The Gallic Tribe,” as it was called, which gave us a greater enthusiasm for Latin as well as many good times. Exit: at vacation time, a slightly more dignified (?) class than had entered the year before, looking back happily to many pleasant memories of a sue- ; cessful year. ACT III Time: September, 1924. Place: Same. Enter: a very well read, eager crowd of upper classmen, come back to taste the longed-for rights and privileges of juniors. Now we could proudly “parle -vous” to each other—or else not! It was also given to us to study the subtle sarcasm of Cicero—and Mr. Vandervort. This year, when the whole school is so thrilled with the success of our athletics, we must not forget that the captain of the victorious basketball team was a junior, Raymond Smith, while the splendid playing of Fred Lowe and Eugene Duvall has made them regular heroes in our eyes. Debate was also very interesting and successful, due, in no small part, we are sure, to the participa- j tion of the juniors. Others of our privileges were the Junior Class Play with the excitement it brings, the Junior Eng¬ lish Club which was inaugurated under the leader¬ ship of Miss Higgins, and the Junior-Senior Recep- ] tion at the close of the year. And now, as we leave for vacation, after three years of useful training, we realise how much we have been helped by association with the teachers : and in how many ways apart from the benefits of study. These same sentiments have been expressed by hundreds of classes before us, for it is inevitable that each class in turn should feel them. We can only echo their words, “Dear Zanesville High School.” Curtain. Virginia L. Culbertson.

The question is stated: The class of onemineAwO ' seven is and will be the most illustrious class of Zanesville High School. The affirmative will endeavor to prove to you that this class has not been and never will be equalled. In the first place, we made an excellent start. This is proved by our large class, the largest in fact that ever entered the portals of Z. H. S. After buying our first assembly tickets, we thoroughly enjoyed the big event. Then at the first football game we were well represented on the field and excelled the populace in yelling, whether we knew the cheers or not. No freshman class for years had been represented by a cheer leader. Did we have one? Of course. He was the Z. H. S. assistant cheer leader. In the second place, we all did our part in other things besides athletics. We have statistics which show that we occupied more than our share of seats at the junior and senior class plays, operetta, etc. We could not take an active part in the class plays, but made up for that in the operetta—the chorus was lined with freshman girls. When Debate approached, everybody became excited. We also did, and it was well worth our trouble (if you call it such), for we were very much pleased at winning at home, although losing at Mt. Vernon. At the end of school, we were beginning to feel quite proud at actually living through the most difficult course of freshman year and certainly felt that we deserved those hard earned report cards. The next year we sophisticated sophomores held up our heads and looked with disdain upon the innocent freshmen, for did we not have this right? In football we had one letter man, and, in basketball, many representatives on the floor. Our cheer leader of last year was elected the cheer leader this year. Furthermore, two of his assistants were also sophomores. This year, besides filling the chorus, the sophomore class was represented in “The Glass Slipper” by a boy who took one of the leading . parts. So we could go on, fellow students, telling of our great deeds, that we did this and we did that. But we feel that we have enough circumstantial evidence to convince you that the affirmative should win. And next year we shall all come back with new life, even though the work be harder. The class of onemineTwo ' seven will always be remembered for doing its part and more. a I thank you.

Jr, ‘ f -• 0001; OLD DAY ' S THREE MU5KET-EEPS ON TtlE iCr-WASQH COMUS ANNUAL, r COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The striving of the freshman class of 1925 toward better classmanship was cer- tainly not in vain. That much was clearly shown throughout the year. Of that, the class made certain on the first day of its high school career, when it received its first class room instructions, and when it accurately obeyed those instructions. Besides hav- ing won the verbal praise of Mr. Mansperger, the class was alert, was grateful to the faculty of Z. H. S., and was interested in all scholastic events. Yet more, such mid-year instructions as those governing assemblies were learned and obeyed to a certain degree by the class with comparative ease and in due time, in fact, with as marked a degree of ease and celerity as that of the upper-classmen. Of slightly less importance than the obedience of class instruction was the interest shown by the class in scholastic events; football, basketball, and debate. Undoubtedly as large a percentage of freshmen were witnesses of the contests as were, perhaps, juniors and seniors. So keen was the general interest of the class that actual participa¬ tion in athletics and debating was thought possible. More than that, the class was more than reasonably represented in the various social functions and school organizations. Second alone to the obedience of instructions and the interest shown in scholastic activities, were the signs of true talent and ability, such as were displayed by the class through membership in such organizations as the orchestra, the art class, and the Debat¬ ing Society. True, it failed to participate to any marked degree in athletics or debating, yet it gave promise of future participation and success in such activities. Despite virtues in other lines of activity, the outstanding recommendation of the class lies in the fact that a somewhat overwhelming majority of the students made their grade; and not a few did exceptionally well, thereby assuring a correspondingly large class of graduates in 1928.

No more lessons, no more work! Now’s the time for fun and play. Let’s go! The close of the school year never fails to bring unlimited joy to the majority of the students. This is only natural. However, it is also a good time for reflection and planning for the future. Let us look back over this year that is coming to an end, and think of the good times we have had, of the friend ' ships we have formed, of the lessons we have learned, and of what we have accomplished. Has it been a good year? Yes, but let’s make the next a better one. No matter how many fields we have conquered, there are always more waiting to be ex plored. Now is the time to plan your future. If you will return to Z. H. S. next year, resolve now to make ’26 the best year that Z. H. S. has ever known. If you are leaving Z. H. S. to take up life in a new field, take a fighting spirit with you and be a conqueror! The end is only the beginning. This is our last work for our dear old Zanesville High. We have worked long and hard, faithfully and loyally, to make our last contribution a success. We have tried to x ease everyone, but knowing that he who tries to please all, labors in vain,” we shall not be disappointed if this is not wholly true. But we are glad to have had this opportunity to help raise the standards of Zanesville High School, for in working we have been so lifted ourselves as to make our work a joy, to make our friendships everlasting, and to make for evermore a love for Zanesville High School. THE CLASS OF 1-9-2-5 We have ended our school days in Zanesville High School. Four lovely years of pleasure amid friends and comrades. There have been setbacks, but having overcome them we have risen to a greater height of achievement and glory. We are to go out in the world, to conquer, to gain, and to secure for ourselves our rightful place in the standard of our nation. But remember that it is not he who rises the highest, and gets the farthest, that is happiest, but he who, through conscientious efforts, through strict application to his duty, receives his just reward and proper place in our land of the free, and home of the brave. OUR WALL Since the beginning of time poets have immortal ' Led flowers, birds and even pictures. But the greatest of all subjects has never been chosen—the wall of Z. H. S. Strange, too, isn’t it, when this beautiful affair is so closely connected with school life and fun? Each fall it has been the first to greet the timid Freshmen, each spring it is the last to speed the dig ' nified Seniors on their way. How many tales it might tell, of lovers’ confidences, what he said at the dance that night, or who had the newest bob. Then, too, it must be a very intelligent wall. To how much poetry has it listened! How often has it been told that “all Gaul was divided into three parts”! Its head must fairly swim with all the geometry to which it has been exposed. Yes, the wall is an old friend. What a glorious place it has been for social gatherings! Morning, noon, and night, it has been lined with a joyous mass of students. Just how many dates in 21 it has been responsible for can never be determined. And now that it has been crowned with wood and wire it is more popular than ever. Good ' bye, then, old wall, we’ll always remember your inviting ways. May future generations of stU ' dents love you as much. “THANKS—SO FINE A TIME! GOOD-NIGHT” —Riley. Now that our high school day is drawing to a close and it is time to say Good-night,” we look around for our hosts and hostesses to express our thanks. Who are they? Our teachers. It was they who received us upon our arrival as strangers in a strange land. They were our interpreters who led us along the pathways of knowledge, explaining the many mysteries that baffled us and opening for us a world of interest and pleasure. They were our friends who helped us to overcome our difficulties, who encouraged us along our tiresome journey, and befriended us through four long, happy years. It is to them that we wish to express our sincere appre- ciation for so fine a time during our high school days, and we want them to know that we shall carry with us always memories of our faithful friends, the teachers.

Mr. Clifford has played a new role in our school affairs this year. As mentor of athletics he has shown us his fine qualities, especially so in basketball. Mr. Clifford was serving on the athletic board and was faculty manager of the basketball team at the beginning of our school year. Upon the announcement that Mr. Orth was leaving the school, Coach Clifford offered his services. And so it came about that Coach Clifford became mentor of atlv letics. Although he entered during the middle of the football season, he immediately seemed to gain headway. As basketball season approached he called for recruits from which to select his team. His choice was made after long tryouts and practice games. Many hours did he spend in putting our team into shape. His fruit of labor was a championship team of Southeastern Ohio. Mr. Clifford has an A. B. degree from Ohio University. During his college years he carried physical education as an important subject although he did not major in it. Mr. Clifford was named student instructor of physical education in his senior year at Ohio University. We are very sorry to hear that Mr. Clifford will not be with us as a coach next year, but pleased that he will remain as a member of the teaching staff. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 COACH ORTH As our football season was in progress and laurels were falling our way, sad news reached our ears. Coach Orth was leaving the school to accept a position with the Standard Tile Company. Coach has been w ' ith us for three years, his heart and soul w ' ere ever behind our teams, both of football and basketball. Orth graduated from Miami University where he won honors which entitled him to coach the Freshman teams while he was a Senior. A great amount of credit must be given Orth for his work with this season’s basketball team, for he coached them during their preliminary work. We are extending to you. Coach, our sincere hope that success may be yours in your new held of w ' ork.

Zanesville 38 —McConnelsville 0 Again Zanesville held the other team to nothing for score and easily scored them ' selves. They were able to score at will and go through the McConnelsville line with comparative ease. Zanesville 13 —East High 0 It was considered a hard game but proved very easy for the Blue Devils who kept them from scoring. Zanesville easily scored by two forward passes. The team was working fine in this game, the signals and plays ran like clock works. Zanesville 6 —Marietta 7 Zanesville lost this game by one point. The team was off form. Although we did not win the game, considering it in football terms, we more than won it as a moral victory, considering the numerous things during the game. Zanesville 33— 7 [orth High 7 After tasting the bitterness of defeat from Marietta the Blue Devils came home and gave the North High squad an awful setback. North High was considered the hardest and fastest team of the Columbus high schools. But our squad showed their superiority by aerial work and running plays in this game. Zanesville 0—Alt. Vernon 0 The best game of the season; if you did not see the game you missed the star. Our team, although very light in comparison with Mt. Vernon, held them with a slight difficulty. This was a real game; every man was on his toes and every player saw that no man got by him. This game showed up every quality of our team. Zanesville 7 —Cambridge 6 Zanesville beat Cambridge by one point. The game was rather evenly matched. Zanesville showed good spirit throughout, but the enemies’ rooters were just a bit unruly. Zanesville 7 —Springfield 35 Zanesville was off form for this game and was nearly swamped under by Spring- field. Talley saved us by a quick play. Zanesville 20— Hewar 13 Newark lost this year to our school of Blue and White. This was our last game of the season and every man on the squad fought like a mad man and came out on top with a clean victory. As a summary of our football season we have had a very successful season, both physically and morally. COMUS ANNUAL, 192$ SPORTSMANSHIP Zanesville High School has come to the front in athletics. At the beginning of the basketball season, Coach Clifford said he was going to prepare a team that would win the Eastern Ohio Championship, and, believe me, he surely did. On March 6 and 7, the “Blue Devils” met and defeated three teams at New Concord for the Championship of Eastern Ohio. On March 6, our team took the floor at New Concord in the first game, against Coshocton High, and defeated them 26 to 23. This victory was hard earned and only by the loyal support of the students in their cheering was the game won. The next morning Zanesville stacked up against Marietta and gave them the worst drubbing they ever got from Zanesville High, by a score of 38 to 9. This victory earned a way into the finals for the championship against the win- ner of the Cambridge-Bellaire game. Bellaire pulled the unexpected and beat Cambridge 25 to 20, thus winning their way to the finals with the “Blue Devils.” In the afternoon, the finals took place between the Zanesville and Bellaire teams. The game was very close and the Zanesville boys certainly fought like “Blue Devils,” bringing their team to victory and championship and the first “loving cup” to be won by Zanesville High School in Athletics. This is a great victory in more ways than one. It represents not only the superiority of our boys in athletics, but a victory for clean sportsmanship, strong character, and good school spirit, not in ath¬ letics alone, but in the whole school life. The high standards of Zanesville High School demand that her representatives in all school activities, have that forceful, well-rounded character which wins in any line. May the loving cup long remain in our hall as an inspiration for clean living and good school spirit. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 SUMMARY OF BASKETBALL SEASON Zanesville 28 —Alumni 23 Due to lack of form, the game was slow. The half ended with the score 18 to 14 in favor of the Alumni, but in the second half we forged ahead, winning the game by five points. Zanesville 12 —Central High 11 We played our second game with Central High, Columbus. Although we were off form, it was a good game and the score was close. The half ended with Zanesville at the little end of the horn, 5 to 4, but we came back in the second half and with much vigor came out on top when the whistle blew. J9[ewar 26 —Zanesville 23 Our firstNewark game of the season was played in Hickey Hall, and the close quarters proved a great hindrance to our team. When the final quarter ended the score stood 20 to 20, but Newark was victorious in the overtime period, being accus- tomed to the small floor. Zanesville 43 —McConnelsville 18 The McConnelsville game was very slow because of the poor defense of the visit ' ing team. The half ended with Zanesville leading by a good margin of fifteen points. Zanesville 15— Croo sville 9 We had the honor of playing Crooksville at the dedication of their new gym, and the honor of victory was also ours. For fact, it was a very easy game for our second team. Zanesville 14 —Cambridge 12 When we met Cambridge on the twenty-third of January we met our first real opposition of the season. It was a fast game from beginning to end. The half ended with a close score of 9 to 8 in our favor, and the game continued close throughout. Croo sville 26 —Zanesville 23 Our second game with Crooksville was played and lost by the second team. How- ever, the game was interesting and the score was close. Springfield 27 —Zanesville 20 The mighty Springfield team was given the surprise and scare of the season by the good fight put up by Zanesville. We led the count until the last two minutes when, with a final spurt, they scored seven points and won the game. Zanesville 27—Mt. Vernon 16 Our fighting spirit prevailed throughout the next game, the Mt. Vernon game, and this time it scored for us an easy victory. Zanesville 22—Cambridge 21 Fortunately our dedication game was the best of the season. The fast Cambridge team gave us a good run and tied the score in the last second. The playing in the over- time period was fast and close, but, when the whistle blew, Zanesville was on top. Zanesville 47 —Doane Academy 11 In spite of their husky appearance, the Doan men proved to be very clumsy on the floor. It was an easy victory for the “Blue Devil” quintet. SOUTHEASTERN OHIO TOURNAMENT Zanesville 26—Coshocton 23 The Coshocton team gave us some stiff opposition, due to the fact that we were off form and the floor was new to us. Zanesville 38 —Marietta 9 Marietta seemed to have trouble in getting started and consequently the game was slow and one-sided. Our conquerors of last year surprised us by proving easy marks in the tournament. Zanesville 25—Bellaire 19 Three victories being necessary to winning the championship, we had yet to reg- Ltei one. So with this in mind, and spurred on by the cheers of enthusiastic rooters, we successfully defeated Bellaire and were proclaimed the champions of Southeastern Ohio. COMUS ANXUAL, 1925 Ayers —Tackle—Senior. Sammy was one of our small men but the opposing team didn’t think so. Atha —Tackle—Junior. This is John’s first year but he can sure cover some territory.

Here we want to give our tribute to one of the nerviest, scrappiest Blue Devils on our squad: Sidney Blackburn. At the foot of every play, Sid always inspired the fellows with the spirit of confidence that led through to victory. We are sorry that Sid’s picture is not here but you all know him and will always remember him by his modest, unaffected manners both in speech and in action. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 OUR CHAMPIONSHIP COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 THE SOUTHEASTERN OHIO TOURNAMENT Z. H. S. 26 —Coshocton 23 The game was rather close hut we came out on top; the team was off color and the floor was entirely new to them. Z. H. S. 38 —Marietta 9 Marietta was the one who gave us ,such a defeat at home the year before but received the worst this time for the Boys of Blue and White literally walked all over them. Z. H. S. 25 —Bellaire 19 With the vim, vigor, pep and determination we entered the finals of Southeastern Ohio tournament. Although we were working against odds we were victorious in the end. This gave us the title of Champions of Southeastern Ohio, also an entrance to the state tournament. Z. H. S. 14— La ewood 38 We were very unsuccessful in the State Tourna- ment; however, we undoubtedly picked the hardest team of the whole tournament. THE SECOND TEAM The second team played a successful season, win¬ ning eight games and losing two. O O O v — ' They were: Z. H. S.. . 28 Freshmen . 2 Z. H. S.. . 5 V. P. 10 Z. H.

The only team that we were not victorious over, at some time or other, was the state champions and the run¬ ners-up in the state tournament, and they were Springfield and Lakewood. Never will the cham¬ pionship team of Z. H. S. for the years of ’24-’25 be forgotten. COMUS ANNUAL, J 925 COM US AHHUAL, 1925 AFFIRMATIVE TEAM The fact that the judges awarded the pennant to Newark is absolutely no reason lor saying that the defenders of the Blue and White did not put up a splendid argument and they deserve as much credit as any winning team. Each debator delivered his construction speech and rebuttal without the least hesitation and all of the students who attended the debate at Newark will assure you that our debators were “Fine.” Our “old Faithful” Ed. Garret opened the debate in his usual persuasive manner, so familiar to us. His confidence in delivery and emphatic presenta- tion of facts won for him a great appreciation from the audience. We regret that Ed. can not be with us next year. We’ll miss you, Ed! Jack McElroy was the second speaker. Everyone who is acquainted with Jack is aware of his argm mentive ability and he surely “handed Newark a good line.” His many accurate statistics proved his points and we were certainly proud of him. We are mighty glad to tell you that Jack will be with us again next year. Keep up the good work. Jack! Wc need but mention the name of the last speaker, Francis Alter, and everyone is convinced of his calm, cool manners and eloquent delivery. He had a cleaivcut speech and each point clearly pene ' trated the minds of his hearers who could not help but admire his impressive and persuasive arguments. We are sorry to lose Francis this year for his is the type we need. Nevertheless, we surely appreciated you, Francis! Last, but far from least, comes a very important asset to our team. She worked with untiring efforts for the success of the team and on the night of de ' bate her pencil was always busy, her ears never missed a point to which our team could reply. As it happens, we shall also lose Mildred this year, but will always uphold her as an example of a true, hard ' working debator. We congratulate you, Mildred! Three of these staunch supporters of Z. H. S. will graduate this year, and are, as we have mentioned, Ed. Garret, Francis Alter and Mildred Miller. Jack, however, is a Junior and we are expecting great things from him next year. Of this quartet two members have previously rep ' resented us in debate, namely, Ed. and Francis. Although Fate decreed that victory should not be for these, Z. H. S. is just as proud of them and just as appreciative of their work as if the three votes cast in Newark High School on March 13 had been for them. COMUS AHHVAL, 1925 NEGATIVE TEAM Friday, March thirteenth, proved a lucky day for us in spite of the fact that our affirmative team lost by the mere judgment of three men. It didn’t hoodoo our team here at home. Russel Dozer, the first speaker for our team, certainly surprised all of us. We knew he was a good speaker but he went beyond our expectations. His voice was very good and he spoke in a manner rarely attained by beginners. We are lucky to have him with us next year. The second speaker was George McBride. George has a powerful voice and he used it to the best advantage. This is his last year and we regret that we will lose such a valuable debator. The last speaker was Fred Sink. This gentleman certainly can debate and we don’t mean maybe. He possesses unusual oratorical ability. This is the first year that he has debated at home as he was at Mt. Vernon. He was the only veteran on the team but the other members did exceptionally well for their first year. Though only these three really debated the question there was another one who was fighting as hard for the victory—this was Isabel Pemberton. Isabel was our alter ' nate and she was ever busy with her pencil and her head and we are mighty glad to have her with us next year. Through the splendid work of this team another pennant has been added to our collection. There will be three veterans from this team and one from the affirmative with us next year. With these four capable debators to start with, we will bring added fame to Z. H. S. COM US A HHUAL, 1925 SENIOR CLASS PLAY On the evenings of May 21 and 22, “The Big Idea” was presented hy the Senior Class of Z. H. S. This play was very different from every other Senior play. The play opened dramatically with the stage in total darkness. Edward Garret as Richard Howard and Miley Hellyer as Mr. Howard were presented to us in this manner. Ed handled the leading part unusually well and truly portrayed the part of a son to be leaned upon hy his worried and kind father, Miley. Miley was a real father and deserves a generous share of the praise. Martha Howard, as Elsie the daughter, was charming and Juanita Jameson play ' ing the part of the mother was stately and dignified, as all mothers are. Sylvia Lipsky as Mary the maid was fine. Frances Spalding was Elaine Foster, the heroine. This part, as a writer, seemed rather unusual for her type but she carried it exceedingly well. Ray Bowman, as Bingham the assistant to Gilmore, and John Bell, the office boy, had little to say but they were mighty good. Roy Booth as Burns was as funny as ever and was greeted with gales of laughter. Glenn Harper has real ability to act and proved it as Bob Caswell. Russ Marple had a big man’s shoes to fill and he did it just right. As Charles Gilmore, the theatrical producer, he was quite influential, but we suggest that he take the leading parts in plays instead of producing them. A great deal of praise goes to these people for the splendid presentation of this play and we give it gladly. Not only do we praise them but also Miss Polk who so capably directed them. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 HONOR TYPISTS As in the previous years the Honor Typewriting contest was held. This is one ot the ways in which the students arc rewarded for their work during the year. It is an incentive for the pupils to do their best. These people are going to deal with the business world and they- have learned what it demands. It demands and must have the most efficient and high class work that can be obtained. It must have the highest per cent of speed and accuracy that can be attained. It demands its workers highly trained. They have realized this and by hard work and continual practice this has been accomplished. They have prepared themselves for the bigger things by doing the smaller ones well. They know that the standards are raised every year and have made themselves ready to meet them. Those whom you see above are truly Honor Students. Let us congratulate them and wish them success in their life work. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 ART CLASS COMUS ART STAFF COMUS ANNUAL, 1925- MANDOLIN CLUB ‘A [ot to now it argues yourselves unknown ' ' Among the many wonders of the world, listed near the top is the Z. H. S. Mandolin Club. The closing of this year marks the fifth successful year for this organization. Successful it is, for aside from the joy of just belonging to so chummy a group have we not shared the “happy’’ music with the Kb wanis Club, Parent-Teacher Association, Terrace Point Church, and played at the St. James Parish House? Such music! Not with a crash or banging does it assail your ears, but rather steals to you the sib very tinkle of the mandolins with the rhythmical sound of the banjos and guitars, all accompanied by the piano. The fact is, some of our members were selected to play in “Twelfth Night,” for there were just needed such delightful strains to induce Duke Orsmo to say, “If music be the food of love, play on.” On Tuesdays and Thursdays during the fifth pe- riod, anyone strolling through the corridors might have glanced into the auditorium and there beheld the “merry thirteen.” After a somewhat prolonged period of tuning up we were ready to begin. Playing first mandolins were Dorothy Knoedler, Ruth Colby, Georganna Guthrie, Constance Milli¬ gan, Mildred Miller, and Jane Schooley, Jane often picking out flute parts, thus lifting the already supe¬ rior quality of music to an ever higher level. Myrtle Harris and Ruth Axline proved to be two indis¬ pensable “tenors” of third mandolins, while Richard Sutton playing second mandolin did his part well and helped along with our success. You ask who put the “snap” into our playing? Mr. Hetzler, play¬ ing either second or a mandola part, Carolyne Rich¬ ards and Herbert Watson on their banjos, and Ed¬ ward Garrett with his guitar. Indeed Ed added greatly to the club in more ways than one. Mary Alice Allen accompanying us at the piano completes the personnel for the year. Aside from a few “zips,” which are snapped or broken strings not covered by insurance, and a few remarks such as make life enjoyable, we staged no calamities. Remember the time Mr. Hetzler asked Jane which note she started on, and Jane absently answered “the first one?” Seriously, the club is a credit to Z. H. S. and though several graduate the outlook for next year is promising. We of the club sincerely hope that the future will be as successful as has been the past. GOOD LUCK! COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 MANUAL TRAINING As one approaches the east end of our high school the hang of the hammer, the whir of the saw remind us of our new manual training department. The door is then opened and as you enter, large cabinets of tools can be seen on the walls, containing every tool necessary for any kind of wood working. Spaced evenly around the room are bulletin boards on which are drawings, pic¬ tures and instructions for building a great number of things. A bench is provided for everyone. On it is every tool necessary for the average work. This bench contains six small drawers with locks, so that each student may have a place to keep anything he has built or wants to keep. In another large adjacent room many large machines, such as a planer, a band saw, and a lathe, are neatly arranged. On farther is another small room used for finishing products. The room is fitted out with shelves for placing painted articles until dry; also many other shelves for brushes, paints and the like. All this work is supervised by Mr. Bateman, a new teacher in our school. Mr. Bateman graduated from Mt. Vernon High School, and from there went to Miami University, where he was honored as student assistant of wood working. Mr. Bateman taught three years in Lima before coming here and many great things are expected of him next year. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 DOMESTIC ROOM COMUS AHHUAL, 1925 ymxk F J n wl • y - - M « fv . § s Wm-- f M W , i H ’ mmtm Ml 1 zv THE GLEE CLUB CAST Under the leadership of a most competent director, Mr. C. Lee Hetzjer, the Glee Club of Z. H. S. has passed another exceedingly successful year. The officers this year were very capable and worked with untiring efforts for the organisation. They were as follows: Alice Hert, President; Don French, Secretary; Virginia Culbertson, Libra ' rian; Ruth Lorimer, Pianist. During the latter part of the year a splendid cast was chosen from the members to present the delightful operetta, “The Glass Slipper.” The cast was: Irene Singer, Cinderella; Forest Johnson, Prince Leo; Wayne Mathews, Sir Oliver; Alice Flert, Lady Oliver; Mavis Forbes, Mora; Dorothy McBride, Vesta; Don French, Victor; Eber Price, Jasper; Ordway McMillian, Bobbins. Each member portrayed splendidly the character for which he or she had been selected. The remaining members of the club were divided into choruses and were presented in the play. One of the entertaining features of the year was a party given at the Exchange Club for the members and their friends. Toward the end of the year, new books were ordered having songs for soprano, second soprano and alto. Although these books were not used extensively, they were enjoyed very much as they contained many beautiful numbers. There were approxb mately thirtyffive members in the club, about fifteen of these being seniors. Mr. HetZ ' ler has some fine material to start with next year and we wish “The Glee Club all the success possible in the future. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 OPERETTA GIRLS ' GYM COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The play selected this year for presentation by the Junior Class on the evenings of December the nineteenth and twentieth was the “Hiring Line, a very clever and amusing comedy of three acts. It was, as you all know, one of the big successes of this year, another added to the glory of Z. H. S. and to the fame of the class of 1926. After a fine selection by our orchestra, the curtain rose. The first act was opened by a very amusing little scene in which Frederick Sink, as Fessenden, so carefully and thoroughly dusted the sitting room of his country home. (We’ve been wondering ever since when Fred acquired such a professional man ' ner in handling a dust rag!) He portrayed the char¬ acter of the impatient business man exceptionally well, and greatly aroused our sympathies by his many troubles as husband and father. Virginia Culbertson, in the role of Dorothy, Fes ' senden’s daughter, made a most charming heroine and we don’t blame Steve a bit; we were all in love with her, too, before the first act was over. Kenneth Gale as Steve was a most persuasive lover and how Dorothy resisted him as long as she did is as yet an unsolved mystery. Deborah Dennis played the part of Mrs. Fessen¬ den in quite a professional manner. Her easy nat ' ural manner added much to the play. The part of Pansy, a neighbor of the Fessendens and the wife of Billy Capron, was very cleverly carried through by Marguerite Smith, while Robert Enoch made a great success of the role of her hopeless careTree husband. Oliver, the luckless actor-friend of Mrs. Fessen¬ den who invited himself to make her a visit, was portrayed by Arthur Sprenkle, as only he could have done it. His ridiculous English accent afforded much amusement. Allen Preston, the detective Ritchie, hired by Mr. Fessenden as a servant, and his wife, Frances Rob¬ erts, added much to the play by their clever acting and well read lines. The cast deserves a lot of praise for such a pro¬ duction. The Juniors have a right to be proud of such a great success. Miss Alma Polk, under whose capable direction such a success was made possible, is to be congratulated on her fine selection and splendid training of these “stars.” Much credit is also given to Mary Frances Myers and Leslie Moody, who proved to be very efficient stage man¬ agers. COMUS ANNUAL, J 925 BOOSTERS’ COMMITTEE Early last fall when Mr. Mansperger asked each session room to elect a represen ' tative to a student council, everyone was naturally interested in the project. In due time the representatives and the presidents of the recognised school activities assembled and organised. The purpose of the council as set forth in the constitution is, the betterment of school conditions in general and the paving of the way to a greater student participation in school government. One of the first things the committee did was to adopt a creed. This creed has been the ideal of every booster and should be that of every student; it is: BLUE AND WHITE CREED The development of my higher self through continual mental, moral and physical growth, promoted by clean living, cooperation in student activity by acquiring self-control at all times, shall be my purpose during my attendance at Zanesville High School. The council early realised that each student must be made to feel responsible for his conduct before the students as a whole could be granted privileges. The Boosters have tried hard to impress this on the students mind, for the body will profit in pro¬ portion to the responsibility felt by the individual. With this as a foundation the committee set to work on many school problems. Among the achievements might be mentioned pep meetings, Comus work, guiding visitors on visitation day, and various other campaigns. So with having laid a solid foundation for a students council, the members of this year ' s committee are proud of the fact that, they were in Zanesville High ' s first Boosters Committee and are looking forward to the prominent place the council is suie to take in future school activities. COMUS ANN UAL, 1925 DISCIPLES OF DEMOSTHENES With the dignity of parliamentarians, with the strategy of senators, which was pleasantly intermingled with high school jocosity and fellowship, the D. O. D. Society held its bi-weekly meetings throughout the year. It was an organization fostered by Senior men although a few Juniors were ad ' mitted near the close of the year. The D. O. D., once organized, stood so soundly and well upon its principal functions, namely that of affording practical experience in the tactics of parliamentary law, that the very stability of the organization in adhering to its purpose inspired its members and gave the society added measures of success. The D. O. D. men, besides being leaders in every meeting at which they were present, especially the Senior meetings, sidestepped the common circuit of routine for a time and with a realization in their minds of the excellent qualities of our basketball men, staged a banquet for the squad in the basement of Grace Church at the close of the season. This banquet was universally conceded to have been a success. Because of the high degree of selectivity for membership to the D. O. D., the mem¬ bers possessed a fraternal spirit which inspired them individually and the organization as a whole. The society was also favored with faculty assistance in the persons of Mr. Siggens and, for a part of the year, of Mr. Schneider. These men were granted full membership privileges with the single exception of holding office. But now the year is ended. The voices of this year’s members will never again vie in heated partisanship but the future of the club is certain and years hence the gavel of the D. O. D. men will summon them to fellowship and communion of wits COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 THE ORCHESTRA THE BAND COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 ORCHESTRA The orchestra has had another successful year under the able direction of the director of music, Mr. Lee Hetzler. The orchestra has held its practices on Monday afternoon, the sixth period. During the year they have purchased several new sets of music, suitable for large symphony orchestras. Good musical talent has prevailed in the High School for many years and this year is no exception. Only five or six members of the orchestra will graduate, thus leaving a very good start for next year. Also some new members will be gained from the Junior High pupils coming into the Senior High. The orchestra has played for various occasions about the school. They have played for the Junior Class Play, Senior Class Play, Glee Club Operetta and for an entertain ' inent given under the auspices of the Womans Missionary Society. The orchestra is composed of violins, piano, cornets, clarinets, saxophones, tronv bones, baritones and drums at the present time. Although these instruments interpret the music in good style some additions such as French horns, cellos, and bass violins would help greatly in making the orchestra still better. There is some very good talent in the school which is not connected with the orchestra. Anyone who can play an in ' strument should arrange to play in the orchestra to make next year better than any preceding year. THE BAND The band this year has been doing its best to add pep and enthusiasm to the school. It has enough cornets and other instruments for the lead, but falls a little short on the bass instruments. However, the bass section is one of the best found anywhere for its siz;e. Several side drums would also help out materially. This year only three will be lost through graduation. With the members which are left and the new ones which are coming from the Junior High a good band should be had next year. Also there are several in the school who play instruments which could help greatly if they would join the band. Trombones will be needed badly next year, so here is a chance for several to get busy. The band this year has done its part the best they could by playing at the football games and basketball games. Although only a few turned out to the games, what few did turn out did their best. Several times it has also played at the assemblies. COMUS AHHUAL, 192 5 LA SOCIETE’ DES BEAUX ARTS In October twenty-four so the records proclaim Began the club, La Societe’ des Beaux Arts by name. To the president’s chair Norman Guess was elected, While Chairman John Yost new members inspected. As vice-president, now, Mildred Miller was the choice,-— In questions of policy Mr. Schneider had a voice. By programs and musicians O Neal was sore vexed, Over motions and minutes Miss Stewart oft per ' plexed. To music and literature the club’s course was turned, Yet the artist and scientist have never been spurned. Through far lands with Kipling ’twas first that we strayed, Thence to Nature’s brown fields as her Autumn leaves fade. Toward the shores of fair Greece then the telescope aim,— Studying statues and buildings of centuries-old fame. Now an Indian revel at a member’s tepee, Then in poem and song we set sail for the Sea; Next to musical realms our fancies took flight, Although radio control once brought us delight. But of all our meetings you must attest That the original program surpassed the rest. Clowns and their pranks at a kind hostess’ tent, Then with another good time the year was spent. Twas a splendid year so we Seniors think, In our memory chain it’s a beautiful link That will bind us and hold us to Mr. Schneider’s injunction, “To develop your higher selves, is education’s true function.’’ That the Seniors of tomorrow may keep Beaux Arts alive, Is the last earnest wish of class one-nine-two-five.

There have been, within the realms of Z. H. S. sev- eral attempts at organising a Radio Club but each unsuccessful. Why were these not a success? The answer is that the purpose of such an organisation was not broad enough. There were not enough stu- dents interested in radio to make such a club a sue- cess. Something had to be changed. Mr. Boggs and Mr. Todd along with several stu- dents came to the rescue with a plan for a new society with broader aims. The new society, The Experimenters Club, was composed of young experi- menters who were interested in studying and ex- perimenting along scientific lines. At the meetings, following the organisation meeting, several interest¬ ing programs were staged including a chemical program by several Junior members, a radio pro¬ gram, and electrical programs by Senior members. All the programs were entertaining as well as in¬ structive. A little might be said of the organisation of the club. No restrictions were made as to the class. It was open to Freshmen as well as Seniors, providing they were interested in experimenting and science and were willing to do their part to make the club a success. This included giving talks on scientific subjects whenever called upon. Officers were elected every two months to give more members a chance to hold office. The club had two faculty ad¬ visors, Mr. Boggs, physics teacher, and Mr. Todd, chemistry teacher. The meetings were all held in the physics room with the exception of one which was held in the chemistry room. The officers for the first two terms were as follows: FOR THE FIRST TERM President.....Leonard Wolford Vice-President.. Norman Guess Secretary.Everett Clark FOR THE SECOND TERM President.Robert Horn Vice-President..John Yost Secretary.—..Lawrence Epply COMUS ANN UAL, 1925 CURRENT EVENTS CLUB Who are, who are, who are we1 Current Events Club, can ' t you see? Have we pep? Well I guess. Politics are fun, oh my yes! If the year of 1925 were memorable for no other reason, it would long be remembered as the birth year of many new school organizations. With Mr. Shuter as sponsor and a dozen or so interested seniors to witness the event, the last child of Z. H. S. was christened early in February. To it was given the selTdefining name of “The Current Events Club.” Although not great in numbers, the club has had some exceedingly interesting meetings. It has adopted the unique policy of making each member personally responsible for a part in the program, a policy which has proved most successful. Thus there have been debates, reports, and discus ' sions. We have fought over the child labor amend ' ment, sympathized with General Mitchell in his ac ' cusations, and decided just what should be done to help the farmer. While the present club will die with commence ' ment, the class of ’25 hopes that the seniors of ’26 will be suffi ciently interested in current topics to revive our organization. If they do, we know that they will find it full of fun and interest, and we hope that it will be even more progressive than ours. COMUS ANNUAL, 1925 IFKA CLUB If you want to know about the good times of the Ifka Club just ask any of these girls, for every member is a booster. The club is wide awake and growing. The meet ' ings are peppy and interesting and the discussions are helpful to all. The activities are planned to give all a good time. The Ifka Club is the high school girls’ club of the Y. W. C. A. Every high school girl is eligible, except the freshmen, who did not belong to the Girl Reserves of the preceding year. The club sent four girls to the Y. W. conference at Merry Ells Camp, Cleveland, last summer and these girls returned with many new ideas and plans which have been tried in the club program. Ifka Club has broken its record for success this year and encouraged by the prom ' ise of a new Y. W. will continue to grow. Its success has been due to the cooperation of the members and to the leadership of Miss Margaret Van Voorhis, our faculty ad ' visor, Miss Gwendolyn Marriot, and our officers: Virginia McIntosh, President; Ruth MacLean, Vice ' President; Mary Rusk, Secretary, and Mavis Forbes, Treasurer.

JH | JB IS � ADELPHI HI-Y CLUB There is one thing that perhaps the world in gen ' eral doesn’t know about us. That is that we have more of a name than just plain Hi ' Y Club. The rest of it is Adelphi. Doesn’t that raise us in your estimation from our already high level? Under the supervision of Mr. Miller and the presidency of James McCormick, we have enjoyed a particularly successful year. Our influence has been felt by the whole community, and especially the High School. We have acted not only morally but also socially. The Hi ' Y banquet for the football squad of Z. H. S. was a huge success. The Co-ed party wasn’t a failure by any means. It was the largest social af ' fair the club ever sponsored. And the hay wagon ride will live long in the memory of all who at ' tended even though some had to sit on others’ feet. Then the “Father and Son Go ' to ' Church Sunday” sponsored by the Hi ' Y Club, spread our influence over the whole community. You see we aren’t so insignificant after all. But it is at our meetings that we have our really good times. You can be sure that there is always plenty of joking during the meal. Every member looks forward to our dinner on Tuesday nights. In our discussions material of true value is brought out. The discussions are always lively and sometimes we keep Mr. Miller busy answering our questions. But after all it is just the fellowship that does us the most good. Whom does it harm to enjoy oneself in a group of fellows? In March we begin a new year. Kenneth Gale is our new president. He served as vice-president last year, so we are sure that he will direct the club sue- cessfully. So, here’s to a new year with new achieve- ments. COM US ANNUAL, 1925 BASKETBALL BANQUET The twenty-seventh day of March will be long remembered by many students of Z. H. S. because of the fine peppy time they enjoyed at the basketball banquet given on that date. Our splendid loyal team had won for us the championship of all Eastern Ohio for 1924-25, and we were anxious to show our appreciation of their efforts, so the D. O. D. assisted by the Boosters’ Committee sponsored this affair. The program was as follows: Timekeeper ....—.-.—...Francis Alter Referee .....-.John Rankin Forward .-.Attorney T. E. McElhiney Penalty .-. .Principal M. M. Mansperger Center .Captain Raymond Smith Guard __-..Coach C. E. Clifford The announcement of letter men was made and the captain for next year, Fred Lowe, was elected. The banquet was a decided success and the patrons all wished that it might become an annual event. COMUS ANNUAL, 192) Z. H. S. DEBATING SOCIETY Honorable Judges, Ladies and Gentlemen: If you have ever attended a meeting of the Debating Society, or the understudies of Patrick Henry . Following this introductory phrase came argument on any subject from coal mines to ice storage— anything from the Philippine question to the jury system. This was the characteristic feature of the Debating Society, the feature which gives it its name. Then, too, there were many other things to make the progress of the society varied and more interesting, such as mock trials, was closed by a hotly contested inter ' dass debate. This year was undoubtedly the best which the Society has enjoyed in its three of existence. The officers who guided the Society through the year were: Edward Gar ' rett, President; Fred Sink, Vice ' President, and Isabel Pemberton, Secretary. COMUS AHHUAL, 1925 NORMAL CLASS The Normal Class of 192 5 included nineteen girls who, having passed entrance examination, be- gan their training in September 1924. It included thirteen members from the graduating class of 1924 and six members from out-of-town. We became well acquainted during our year here and it was with regret that we left to go out to do our life’s work. Under the guidance of Miss Polk, our principal we studied psychology, class room organization, his¬ tory of education and method of teaching history. Miss Buker instructed us in how to teach read-’ ing, English, geography, and arithmetic. In addition to these subjects these teachers also gave us many ideas on living and thinking. As for the members of the class; Beatrice Me- Caddon, as our president, guided us through the year. Everyone enjoyed the rides in Beatrice Hagen’s Ford. Grace Harris and Helen Dugan were our musicians. Mildred Cordray worried us all with her inferiority complex. Geraldine Koble was our artist while Lucy Emenhizer and Violet Haybron were interested in poetry. Hazel Fouts, Olive Wallace and Jeanette Smith had to wait un¬ til they came to Normal School to be educated in mumps. Alma Rymell was always ready to talk on any subject. Mabel Johnson was our efficient sec¬ retary. Amelia Hatfield, and Helen Perkins could always be found studying either on the steps or in the auditorium. Evelyn Boetcher came to school in all kinds of weather thru all kinds of mud. Mable Hammar worked hard on her slang and her Eng¬ lish. Thelma Frakes was our official correspondent and librarian. Norene Besser, a Roseville girl, de¬ cided she liked married life better than teaching. From our teachers and our experience in the lit¬ tle teaching we have done this year we have an idea of what real teaching is and the responsibility that the teachers have. Even though we all may not become teachers, who can say that the year was not well spent, that the knowledge gained was not only applicable to teach¬ ing but to real living as well? We leave the Normal School with the ambition to succeed and the inspiration and knowledge that we received while here. CLASS OF 1925 Facts are knowledge and knowledge is power—power to select and utilise in our own daily living the best the world affords for our own spec ' lal purpose. GRADUATES The officers of the First National Bank tender to the Graduates of the CLASS OF 1925 the benefit of their trained minds and of the sixty one years of discipline in the School of Experience. Come in and talk freely with us your plans for the future. We are ah ways happy and willing to discuss the best road to travel toward oppor¬ tunity and success.

Here sleeps Mr. Shutter, no bachelor was he, In training future citizens he took great glee. Yet the masses are dense, so Munro’s oft attest, For the Civics class brought him and laid him at rest.

A special committee appointed by the presi¬ dent of the chamber reported that the condition of was due to being burned up by a certain Ford tour¬ ing car. This car seemed to be traveling this road from two to three times each week carrying a full load of both sex. Many deep ruts and holes were attributed to the many punctures and breaks. The most startling of all things was the revealing of the names of the drivers of the car. The leader of the crowd, a very prominent senior of past fame, who is none other than Russ Marple, assisted by the flaming top, Dick Haegan. The other members of the crowd are not known.

It is the surest way.”—Benjamin Franklin. “The man who cannot and does not save money cannot and will not do anything else worth while.” Andrew Carnegie. “Teach economy, that is one of the first highest virtues. It begins with saving money.”—Abraham Lincoln. “If you would succeed in business never spend a cent more than you earn. No matter how small your earnings, you should master this art.”—Marshall Field. “The sure and straight road to independence and success is saving money—and its the only way. — Harold Thorpe. “The difference between the clerk who spends all of his salary and the clerk who saves part of it is the difference—in ten years—between the owner of a business and the man out of a job. —John Wan- amaker. “The saving of money usually means the saving of a man. It means cutting off indulgences or avoiding vicious habits. The little difference between what you earn and what you spend is power. It often measures the distance between success and failure. —Orison Swett Marden. 5 °Jo on Ail Deposits The Equitable Savings Company 508 MAIN STREET H. E. BUKER, Sec y. A. T. BAKER, Pres.
