(bditorials. k i AH men who would now wish to rise In business with a caper Should never fail to advertise In Lancaster's High School paper. To the Board of Education, we, the Senior Class of 1907. feel very grate- ful for the many acts of kindness you have shown us. and take this oppor- tunity of thanking you. We also feel very grateful to the contributors, who had it not been for this paper, would never had the chance af displaying their poetic ability. We hereby take this method of ex- tending our thanks to the business men of Lancaster who. by their ad- vertisements. have assisted us won- derfully In publishing this paper. The Editorial Department has re- ceived publications from other schools and colleges, which are appreciated very much. We will endeavor to ac- knowledge the receipt of each and every one. The following article was found In the Lancaster Gazette of a lato edi- tion: We learn that the High School lads, aspiring to distinction, have adopted the white sock as a modest but striking uniform. Taken in con- junction with tho modem slaughter house style of wearing the trousers rolled nearly to the knee, the result is peculiarly unlovely. Will the lads take it kindly when we call attention to the fact that a High School educa- tion is intended to put gray matter in the brain and not white hosiery on the feet. The boys are confusing in their understandings.” Such an article is hardly appropri- ate for publication and an editor with any common sense would keep such things from his paper. We, the boys of the High School, think that the person who wrote that article, thought that he was writing something cute, but he was mistaken, and he proba- bly would be thought a great deal more of if he would leave such arti- cles out of his paper and not look to see what kind of socks the High School boys wear. We. the members of the staff, sup- pose It would be the proper thing to say that as we take our pen in hand, we feel our unworthiness and our in- ability to carry on this work as it should bo done.” Of course, that would be conventional and that is what our friends tell us to do when we go to them in our despair and ask them to tell us what we shall write. But we aren’t going to be convention- al. However, we’ll patiently accept the tasks assigned to us, hoping that our friends who read this book will overlook to a great extent, tho errors made by us, in this our first attempt at journalism. Our one aim is to give to the lower classmen, such material as will bo both Interesting and instructive. Aft- er consulting such books as tho “Brittanica,” Americana, Cen- tury,” efc.. we may say that we think ourselves better prepared to do this work and to leave to our fellow- pupils such great stores of knowledge, that they will never have need of any reference books, with the exception of the L. H. S. X-Rays. We. as the editors, have passed many sleepless (?) nights, in order that we might be able to publish this book, which we hope will be appre- ciated by the reading public.

Education and j Prosperity £ America at the present moment en- joys a prosperity which has never been equaled by any other nation. This is due in part, no doubt, to good administrations ot government, to our laws, to our groat natural resources and to the sustained and continuous policies which have governed the country. But the term, national pros- perity, really means the prosperity of the citizens as parts of the nation. Therefore, since the nation can be prosperous only in proportion to the prosperity of its citizens, It is worth, our while to consider the one thing above all others which brings pros- perity to the citizen by making him capable of taking advantage of tho great opportunities which our coun- try affords. Let us consider the re- lation which intellectual, individual and moral education bears to the prosperity of the citizens and hence to the prosperity of the nation. The first thing that intellectual edu- cation does for a man is to arouse in him the idea that he has been cre- ated for a purpose. As a result of this he seeks to better his condition. 10 advance In life. Thus education causes him to take his first step to- ward prosperity and it now directs his steps by showing him the things which will aid him tnd the methods he must pursue in obtaining It. At the same time that intellectual, education makes him a more prosper- ous citizen it also makes him a bet- ter citizen. He sees more clearly the relation of the individual to the state, his love and pride for his country In- creases, he strives to build it up and protect it and of necessity he will first build up and protect his home. In direct proportion to the increase in intellectual education comes a de- mand for improvements ot all kinds. Every invention, disoovery and re- form is the result of education. To verify this we need only to comparo the progress made by countries which have been enlightened by education to the condition of countries still under the clouds of Ignorance. It is a sig- nificant fact that no ignorant man ever solved any of the great prob- lems in the scientific, mechanical ami social worlds, hut that all great in- ventions, discoveries and reforms have been made by men whose minds have been so trained by Intellectual C ( education as to prepare them for those tasks. These invaluable labors of master minds contribute immeas- urably to the prosperity of the na- tion. One of the most important ques- tions of the day is that of internation- al | eace. Tho advances already made in this direction are almost entirely due to intellectual education. As na- tions become more educated they realize That.war is deadly opposed to prosperity. They are abler and more willing to settle their differences by arbitration and tlius create the con- ditions between nations under which man must labor if he would be pros- perous. It is possible that, under any view of the creation of man, human life, or the life of a people, may bo prolong- ed by intellectual education. Ignor- ance of the laws governing our physi- cal well-being has a far-reaching effect upon the national life. Education acquaints men with the laws of nature, teaches them tho result of disobeying these laws and thus tends to drive disease from the laud. We can not have prosperity without healthy men and women to seek after it: educa- tion helps to develop men and women of this type Industrial education teaches the dignity of honest labor. A man who has been educated In this direction becomes as willing to handle a spade as to handle a pen, as willing to re- ceive wages as to receive a salary. He will put brain into the ordinary vocations of life and by the law that Intelligence will bring to its possessor Its own exceeding great reward, he cannot help being prosperous. Poor- houses are not built for industrious men: policemen are not employed to watch men and women whose hands are busily engaged In honest, toil. • Moral education has to with tho QUICK JOOS, The Reliable and One Priced Shoe Men See Them for Snappy Shoes WEST MAIN STREET training of the heart. No matter how wealthy and intelligent a man may be. he cannot bo prosperous in the high- est sense unless his heart is right. Moral education makes a man recog- nize his moral ohrgations, his own rights and the rights of others. Every crime committed can be traced to some violation of tho moral laws by somebody. Therefore, if we would fight crime and enjoy prosperity we must educate tho hearts of the citi- zens, for prosperity and crime cannot exist together. With the development of these three lines of education—Intellectual, industrial and moral—prosperity must come to the citizen, for prosperity has no prejudices, it does not ask the col- or or condition of the person seeking It. but upon those who have developed all the powers of mind, body and heart, given them by the Creator, upon those alone will it bestow its blessings. FRANK HAMILTON STUKEY, 07 10 Art In consideration of the feelings ot the long-suffering Senior. I will not use the time-honored method of telling what Ruskins says of art or how it should be studied, but will leave that for the Seniors yet to come. For if they fall into our foot-prints, which is altogether probable, they will need something or this kind for the numer- ous essays, orations, etc., which will Ijo required of them. Any one who goes to the Lancaster High School may be an artist. You may think this a rather startling state- ment. but. to those who have, them- selves, been members of this well- known institution of learning, it will not seem strange. A pupil l efore entering High School may never have had the least desire to become an artist, but after he has entered and has had the opportunity of seeing all the poses of which his fellow-pupils are capable, he has an Intense desire to become one. and if he has no talent along this line, he may accomplish it by an effort of the will. A.S. The Seniors, by popular vote, have decided to donate the proceeds of this paper, to the purchase of a grapho- phone. for Miss Lowrle. with a record which repeats the words Pencils up,' Pencils down and also Hands up and Hands down. The Seniors had a most enjoyable time at their picnic at Maplewood Park and in spite of the bad weather, about 21 members of the class were present. Mr. Brashares, Mr. Thomas and Miss Curtiss of the Faculty ac- companied the class. The Lancaster High School Glee Club will sing at he commencement of the Lithopolls High School on June 14.

LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 11 jj ,V e llumni j? The Lancaster High School has been organized since 1849, but it was not until 1889 that an Alumni Asso- ciation was organized. On June 1, 1889. a meeting of about thirty graduates was held In Prof. Keyser’s room in the North building to take the first steps in organizing an Aluntnal Association. All were in fa- vor of it. the officers were elected, and the first annual reunion and banquet was held on June 19, 1889, at Peters Trout’s hall and was attended by 110 members of the association. The Alumni of the L. H. S. now numbers over 600, who are scattered over all parts of the globe. With the exception of three, who were elected honorary members, no other person can attend the annual reunion, unless having at some time graduated from the L. H. S. The dues are one dollar per year and must be paid to the treasurer be- fore the annual meeting, which usual- ly takes place the eve following the commencement, exercises. The graduating class for that ye ar are the guests of honor, and, ns such, aro free from all dues. At these gatherings the business is first disposed of, and followed by a social session. The officers of the association are elected for each year and those of ’07 are: President, Mr. Thomas Hoff- man; Secretary, Miss Jennie Creed; Treasurer. Mr. H. B. Peters; Execu- tive Committee, Miss Helen Rade- baugh, Miss Mndje McCoy, Mr. Roi Delaney and Mr. Clyde Cole. ALUMNI NOTES. Mr. A. I.

O H A P E l_ NOTES During the first few weeks of the school year, the topics discussed by the different members of the Faculty, pertained mostly to faithfulness and cowardness. One of the most instructive and ad- visory talks we have listened to dur- ing the year, was that given by Dr. Edwards of O. W. U. Resides giving statistics concerning the number of college men who have held high of- fices in America, he protested much against so many young people stop- ping school and going to work at an early age; he then quoted Franklin's statement that no matter how early you get to work you will in the end be surpassed by the man who has lin- gered at tho grind-stone. The Doctor said, tha in life competition is fierce and If you are not prepared to meet iyou will bo trampled' under foot by the man with the keener intellect; for in America it is tho intellectual man who reaches the top. A Mr. Greathead. who it is said lias carried a weight of nearly two hun- dred pounds around the earth on foot, spoke to us during the year. Professor Brashares has given us so many delightful and at the same time practical talks throughout the year, that nothing would please us more thun to give some of them In full did space permit. However, here are a few of the thoughts that have remain- ed with us: spoke intelligently during the course of tho school year. Rev. Aten of Bremen was with tu several times during the year. The anti-partisan talk on politics given by our Principal, altho criti- cized by some outsiders, was some- thing much needed and greatly appre- ciated by the majority of the pupils. We were much pleased by the talk given by Rev. Eison on the morning or October ISth. Several of his illus- trations were drawn from that de- lightful little Scotch story. Beside the Bonny Briar Bush. The selections rendered by the Glee Club and the sextet of girls were very pleasing. Professor Weinlnnd has given us many delightful talks during the year on a wide range of subjects. And al- though most of his talks were based on some Bible story, familiar to us all, he never railed to bring out some new and practical point. We enjoyed very much thee vocal duet given by Messrs. Wolcott and Mlesse. Miss Keys of the juvenile court or Columbus, gave us a very interesting talk, but spoiled it all by calling us hillicnns, a compliment which we didn’t appreciate. inent of the death of one of our school- mates, Florence Hiller. The little tributes paid by Miss Davidson and Mr. Brashares, and the reading of Longfellow's poem. “The Reaper and the Flowers.” by Florence Burnside, wero very appropriate. Miss Florence Wilson of Chillicothe entertained ns with several solos which we greatly appreciated. Longfellow's birthday was fittingly celebrated with readings from his pOems.by Charles Brashares. Helen Brenner. Lavina Pierce and Frank Mc- C-lintock. The latter rendered Build- ing the Ship in a very pleasing man- ner. The Birthdays of Lincoln and Wash- ington were also remembered. Piano Soios were rendered during the year by Earl Foreman. Flossie Denny. Henrietta Gronuite, Ora! Myers, Webb Vorys. Charles Miller and Myrtle Cinder. Misses Gromme and Sturgeon ren- dered a very pleasing instrumental duet early in the year. Upon the solicitation of one of our experienced lady teachers. Mr. Brashares gave a talk on Chasing Reversed, which was greatly appre- ciated by the majority of the boys.' RALPH E. HEDGES. '07. “We should not obey laws because we are forced to do so. but because we are doing right and pleasing God. Thank God for the boys who will not permit their mothers to wash for a living. Laws are for ignorant'people and children. Music has been one of the leading features of our chape! exercises. The vocal solos rendered by Marie Stur- geon. Miss Fox. Inez Longstreth, Earl Foreman and Prof. Thomas were greatly appreciated. Schiller's Conception of Liberty. Self-Made Men. Killing Conscience, Concentration of Mind, The Patience of Samuel, and The Sayings of Sam Jones, are only a few of the many sub- jects on which Professor Thomas Professor Brashares while talking about rural life, and the pleasure which it gave him. told us how. when walking in the country he saw a hun- dred snakes. We are loath to believe that a hundred snakes are a few too many for any sober man to see in one night. To avoid causing any jealousy or ill- feeling, let it sufficie to say that we have enjoyed very much the delight- ful talks given by Miss Curtiss, Miss Davidson and Miss I owrie. We must say, however, that some of the talks given by Miss Curtiss were especially good. Tho talk she gave on “Petering Out.” was both Instructive and amus- ing.

In discovery and invention,.we are compelled, while we tints acknowledge Its granduro to re- cognize that our own immediate age has been and is. a proud one for all lovers of progress whether measured in dollars or by other standards or ex- cellence. This preeminence does not rest alto- gether upon tne increase of tools re- leasing the multitudes of wage earn ers from drudgery; upon the increase of books flooding the light or knowl- edge upon the darkness of ignorance: upon the development of science re- leasing mankind from pain and suf- fering, although these have done much toward this elevation: but we look a little farther and see that th? crowning glory of this country is the rise and development of a New Order of Chivalry. Chivalry, although an institution oi the eleventh century, was far from be- ing an invention of that time. We And Its source lu the manners of the Germanic races and mice Its develop- ment from the earliest period of his- tory. when the knight was known not only for his martial achievements hut also for his devotion to everything re- ligious. Chivalry as a consequence, slowly, though surely elevated the tone of all acquired principals and seems to have summoned the people from a long so- cial degradation to the preparation for the coming moral supremacy of the modern over the ancient world. It has furnished since the days of the Troubadours no inconsiderable por- tion of the subject matter for our poets. King Arthur and the knights of his Table Round became to poetry of the middle ages what the heroes ot the Trojan war were to the ancient world. When learning In 1453 entered the palace of Ignorance and with her kiss waked to new life those held under the spell and sent a thirst for knowl- edge throughout all Europe, the knight with his splendid horse and heavy suit of armor, going about the country seeking to release women from dragons and like charms, lost his The WHITE is KING I WHITE SEWING MACHINES | Full Ball Bearing Runs Light and Sews Right •i-i-i i Your Credit is 0ood---$2.oo Per Honth Office, 133 North Columbus St. L. 1 1. WEIR, flgr. prestige. There came to the front, the scholar, the poet, the artist and often the plain citizen as claimants for the order of knighthood. But the hands of custom are hard to shake off and in this work of the sixteenth century, as well as in that of the first, opposition was stern and relentless. Martin Luther, the cham- pion of religious freedom, during the Reformation, had as hard a struggle as did Paul of earlier times. Witness, if you please, how this opposition In- creases In spite of growing improve- ment. It Is within the memory or many living Americans when cruel slanders were hurled on those reform- era. known as abolitionists, who with that true courage which characterized the knight of old affirmed that the fu- gitive slave law was “a compact with hell and a league with the Devil. Christianity, that true chivalry, has never been so apparent since the time of its teaching by the Prince ot Peace as at the present. As it teaches the fatherhood of Cod and the brother- hood of man, we see that no longer can titled rank discount scholarship, nor can riches have exclusive posses- sion of genius. In France our epoch has witnessed the rise of Victor Hu- go's school for the poor of the great cities. In England we have seen Chas Dickens pleading the cause of orphans and waifs. In our own land Harrle Beecher Stowe Is a representative 01 a large number who seek to Improve the lot of the weak and outcast. Knights or social reform In this era are a great multitude, like stare In- deed for brightness and number. “Time writes the final epitaph.” wild Bacon. And now we believe those who ally themselves with the poor and weak obtain supremacy over or- ators, statesmen and scholars who love position and toil for self. What truer chivalry Is there any- where pictured in song or story than we find in the life of Wendell Phillips, who. though the Idol of Boston's circle, was willing to sacrifice his popularity and stood proud beside the slave when all seemed to oppose and when his city Jeered! Yet his name Is revered by us today when all seemed to oppose and when' his city jeered. What Sir Lancelot or Sir Galahad has a brighter memory thau our owjt Charles Sumner? His knowledge of international law would have given him entrance to political honors yet he yielded his most cherished ambi- tion and chose rather to make the cause of the oppressed his cause and adopted as his motto, Bondage must he destroyed and liberty established. ' But our chivalry does not stop with the freedom of the physical man alone. It goes further and endeavors to achieve liberty for enslaved hearts and minds. In the death of Frances Willard our ago has lost one of its noblest daugh- ters, one whose labor for home and happy fire sides gave to her the rank of one of the most famous women or our time. Early successful as an author, highly honored In the realm ot education, she gave up all offers to promotion. She set before herself the task of addressing people of our land in nearly every city which had over ten thousand Inhabitants. She was largely instrumental in securing the enactment of laws to Introduce scien- tific temperance Into the curriculum of the common schools. She was 01- ten cruelly criticized, but her final triumph proved that this new order of Chivalry contains not only men or 14 LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. strength but women of refined quali- ties. To our pleasure loving generation conies the life of David Livingstone telling us that the age of heroism is not ended. No knight, threading the forest In search of adventure, ever showod courage equal to that of David Livingstone, who gave himself to the fight against the slave traffic of Afri- ca and who single-handed determined to win a continent for lawful com- merce and Christianity. History holds ilo career marked by more heroic ad- ventures and marvelous escapes. His twenty-nine thousand miles of explora- tion added one million square miles to the known world. His studies ot Africa’s geology, botany and zoology made him one of the world’s greatest scientists and in his work among the slaves he will always be known as the Lincoln of the Dark Continent. Neither wealth nor ease, leisure nor rank equipped him. Adversity chose him us her knight. The lives of such heroes and re- formers tell us that supremacy does not come in drifting with the multi- tude—that the tides of public favor do not carry one on to fame and for- tune. Today many youths tempted to ease and exposed to luxury hear tho voice of conscience bidding them cling to principle, not policy; to ser vice rather than position, and to burden-bearing rather than ease and idleness. Browning has said— 'Tis chivalry That dares the right and disregards alike The yea and nay o' the world.” What, then, of the knights of the new times In literature? Some men are saying the age of poetry and romance is gone forever No more Shakespeares or Dantes! At home critics say Lowell, Emerson and Long- fellow have passed away and they have no successors. Abroad men mourn for Tennyson. There remain, the pessimist announces, no orators such as Webster and Gladstone. Reasoning thus, men proclaim ex- haustion In the Infinite and because of their willing blindness do not see the wonderful progress made in no- bler lines to which each era brings new inspirations. It should not seem strange to us that God has left the best for the people of the highest civilisation. Everything In nature and history reveals this as His work- ing principle. Chivalry, the medieval system ot military privileges, with its peculiar honorary titles and aristocratic limita- tions of position has gone. Brute force represented by the horse whose importance gave name to that early period of gallantry and war has yield- ed to the power of humanity. And now the knight of this new order of chivalry has great battles to fight and victories to win. No clash of sword, no flash of burnished armor, no champing of the bit announce his entrance into the arena of active life. But with the calmness and humility of the lowly Nazarene he enters the Jerusalem ot the present. With that quiet dignity before which error has always yielded he speaks to the waves of war and they are still. He says to the children. “Como unto me,” and the doors of factories and slums swing open. He speaks again and colleges are endowed, hospitals are erected and the swine of Intemper- ance and vice rush headlong into the sea. And as he goes about doing good we say: “This is the Knight of the New Order of Chivalry.” A. ADALE ATEN. (Contestant at Logan.) L. H. S. ’07. BASKET BALL TEAM j —Photo by Moore.

Just before the close of the school year In 1906. the athletic association of the [gincaster High School held a meeting for the election of officers of the football team of 1906. Then about two weeks after the opening of school the following autumn, the captain called for candi- dates for the team and about twenty men responded. Teams were organ- ized and they at once set to work to practice for the first game of the season at Clrcleville. on October 5th. The team, after several weeks of hard practice, was thought capable ot doing their best in the game. Justus, the captain, being sick, was unable to take part, so Courtrlght took his place in this game, which was an interest- ing one; also a hard-fought one. But the fates were against l ancaster this time, for we lost the game by a score of 7 to 2. We thought we would square our- selves by asking for a game with Cir- cleville on our own grounds: but this she refused for various reasons. We, no doubt, would have won, as our record shows how we gave the other teams the axe. The next game we played was with Central High School of Columbus on October 19th. Their team played fast ball, but it did no good with us, for we defeated them by a score of 11 to 6. The following Friday. October 26th, the team front Baltimore High School arrived, but they were too easy for us, and it could hardly be called a game, the score being 25 to 0. On Friday. November 2nd, we play- ed with Chilllcothc on our grounds. Their team was a fast one, and altho they outweighed ours by 15 pounds to the man. we put up such a de- fense that they could not break thru our line. The game was a close one, and not till the second half did Mc- Clintock push the ball over the line for a touch-down, winning the game by a score of 5 to 0. Two weeks later on Friday. Novem- ber 16th, we played with Irrepressi- ble Logan; the game was more of a running match, for we ran away with the ball, making 60 and 80-yard runs for touch-downs. Most, of these were made by Radebaugh, who was a trifle too fast for the Haw-eaters. They even went so far as to beg for mercy, imploring us not to make the score so high. Nevertheless, we play- ed on and won by a score of 29 to 7. This was the last game of the sea- son and the record of football in 1906 was the best ever known in the Lan- caster High School. The following is the line-up which made this record: Orman and •Hershberger........Center McLaughlin ............. Right-Guard Micsso and •Davis.........Loft-Guard Davis and 'Alton........Right-Tackle Justus and •Campbell.....Left-Tackle Acton, Radebaugh and Fink... R.-End McCrum .................... Left-End McMillln and Radebaugh.......Quarter Courtrlght .............. Right-Hair McClintock ............... Left-Half Work ..................... Full-Back •Only played one game in this po- sition. L. W. M„ '07 WHAT THE SENIORS OF '07 CONTRIBUTED TO ATHLETICS. When looking over the athletic rec- ords of the Lancaster High School, one cannot help noticing the leading part the present graduating class lias taken in the different athletic teams of the school. We wll first, take the football team, which made such an envious record for L. H. S. last fall, losing only two games out of ten played. In looking over this team, one sees from the Senior class, Courtrlght and McMil- lln, playing important positions be- hind the Itne. Then on the line, wo find McCrum on the left end. while on the right is Acton, filling the two most Important positions on the team. Then between these at tackle and guard, we find Da- vis, Campbell and Miesse. So it is easily seen, that the nucleus of that Winning Football Team was made up of Seniors. Next wo come to basket-ball. This was a new sport for the Lancaster High School, this being the first year this school was ever represented by a basket-ball team. Considering thl .I, the team made a very creditable show- ing. In this team the Senior class was also freely represented, having four out of the seven men, who travel- ed with the team. First we notice McCrum as captain, playing right for- ward. who was ably assisted by Mc- Millln as manager, at right guard. Then we see Matthew. Hill and Wol- cott, who traveled with the regulars and helped out when called ujion. Now we pass Into a branch of ath- letics which has been more success- ful this year than any year before In the history of the school. This Is field and track athletics. lu looking over the team we see. first, Mc.Mlllin as captain, running one-quarter mile in 56 seconds ami 220 yards in 25 sec- onds. and also carrying the last quar- ter in the relay. Then we come to McCrum. who ran one-half mile in 2:16, pole vaulted 9 feet and carried one quarter in the relay. Then we see Courtrlght, Wolcott, Davis, Hill. Campbell and Matthew, all malkng exceptionally good records in their respective events. And now we notice the last branch of athletics during the year. Here, as before, wc- find the Seniors standing foremost. We find, the pitching staff of the baseball team made up entire- ly of Seniors. A Senior played third base, short stop and the out field, thus making every important position fill- ed by a Senior. After looking over 'these teams, and noticing the positions played by •Seniors, who will say that the pres- ent graduating class has not con- tributed more to L. H. S. athletics in '07 than all the other classes to- gether? AT LOGAN. It happened at Log n. It happened to Lancaster. What wns.lt? It was the defeat of the L. H. S. track team, by the narrow margin of two points, the final score being 57 to 55. The op|K rtunity to win was proba- bly lost when Captain McMillin failed to win the 440-yard «lash, being de- feated by a yard, the distance having been run in 55 seconds. Lancaster’s [Kjints were secured in the following ways: Hill won first In the 100-yard dash and s«?cond in the 50-yard dash. McMillin won second in tho 220 and 440-yard dashes. McCrum won second in the half- mile run. the pole vault and first in (Continued on Page 17.) 16 LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. FUN FACTORY| Dr. J. C.

The meet was a disappointment to the members of the team, as they all expected to win. It was a battle royal from start to finish and In sev- eral places, Lancaster showed lack ot training. In at least three events the contestants did not do nearly so well as they had been doing at homo. In the meet with Zanesville a few weeks before, the team made a much better showing, defeating that team by a score of 65 to 59. I ancaster's victories were well distributed among the members of the team, while one man scored 43 points for Zanesville. Taking into consideration the fact that the L. H. S. has not been repre- sented by a track team for three years, it will not be denied that this team has madq an extra good show- ing this spring. BASEBALL OF 1907. The I ncaster High School base- ball team with Frank McCIlntock as Captain and Edward Orman as Man- ager, has. so far. had a very success- ful season and It. is also the best team the High School ever produced. LITERATURE. Our study of the History of English literature during the year 1907 was a complete success, everybody taking special interest in it. While studying this history we found ourselves en- veloped among the lives of all our greatest, poets and authors and how they came to write poetry. Beginning with the time when rhymes were just being made and remembered. We stud- ied hard till we reached Queen Vic- j toria’s Age which brought many popu- lar and wonderful men before us. Al- though we found some difficult places to pull through we handled them with care and soon came out on top. Tho study of English literature is interest- ing front beginning to end and shows us that only a great genius could have written such inspiring words in such a beautiful and artistic mannner. Along with the history we studied a series of books, one of which was Bacon's Essays” or A Handy Dictionary, as one called It. A more helpful book cannot be found, and our study of it was certainly help- ful to 11� for it. showed us “that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.” The pupil go- ing through High School would miss half tho Senior year If he didn't study the History of English Literature.

The work of the past year has been char- acterized by a willingness and good- ness of spirit such as would tend more or less to the development of a good singing organization. Much credit. DR. JOHN J. STUCKY DENTIST Office Opp. Mlthoff House, Cor Main and Columbus Streets IfBWWh WHW.MMW WWW JWNMMMWA m f however, is due to the efficient direc- tor. Prof. Thomas, by whose ability and untiring efforts, has raised the present high standard of the High School music. The chorus, which is com|K sed of sixty members, lias met bi-weekly for practice throughout al- most the entire year. An unusual amount of Interest has also been manifested In the Chapel ex- ercises. Tho faculty of the school, oc- casionally assisted by some one of the ministers of the city, have conducted these exercises in a very able man- ner. Together with selections by the chorus, piano and vocal solos by the pupils have added much to the enjoy- ment of these morning devotions. It is to be believed that these as- semblings Tor the reading of God’s word and the singing of his praises, have contributed largely to the build- ing up of a higher grade of school work, than could have been attained without them. Another organization that has met with much success Is u double quar- tet composed of the young men of the High School. Besides furnishing musi- cal programs for several local ban- quets and for the County High School commencement, this body of young vocalists has also given two concerts. The work has been thoroughly enjoy- ed by the various members, most of whom have belonged either to the Glee Club or Double Quartet for the past four years. And so. with chorus and glee club, the High School has taken great pleas- ure in the patronage of (he Muses and earnestly solicits the same for the years of its history to come. W. L. WOLCOTT, ’07. BASKET BALL. The Baskctt Ball team of the I an- caster High School of 1906 was one of the best teams the L. H. S. has ever possessed. They only lost two games out of six during the whole season. The fellows that played on the team are: Paul McCrum, Captain: Parker McMillin, Manager; Robert Work. Harry McLaughlin, Robert Mathew, Willard Wolcott, Louis Hill. Frank McClintock.

School assembled as usual on thut morning, but little work was done for all was excitement. Dismissal was an hour early In order that everyone would have time to make the train. Some of the Freshmen were so excited that It was Impossible for them to wait until the school went, so they took the first train down in the morn- ing. At 1:30 p. m. the train moved down the valley with representatives from Chlllicothe. Washington C. H.. and I-ancaster aboard; also one member from Clrclevllle, who had missed the 6:30 car which left his city with the E. H. S. students. (They must have gone early to get on the good side of the judges.) Arriving at Logan about 2:15 wo were told that if we wanted to go to the fair grounds and did not care to walk a distance of two miles, we must stay on that car: so to the fair ground we went and witnessed to our disap- pointment the defeat of Lancaster H. S. I-ogan was certainly enthusiastic. Every sign said welcome and every building was decorated in purple ami white; oven in the windows they had Iz-O-G-A-N in large letters to Jet us know where we were. In the evening, before the contest the different schools had fire works and the yelling was such as I suppose Logan had never heard before. Tho Boys’ Industrial School band from Lancaster furnished music on the street, for the pleasure of all. At 8 o'clock all assembled in the opera house ready for the contest. The noise was not so great, but wha: there was showed that the students wore full of spirit. The contestants were all very good, but Lancaster exceeded them, tho’ the judges didn’t see it that way. That was not only the opinion of the L. H. S. students, but also of many from the other schools. After the contest all went to the Red Men's Hall, where refreshments were served. Surely fate was against us that day. for we had not only lost in the contest and track meet, but when coming from the hall it was raining. One Logan resident, who thought we de- served the honor said. Even nature is weeping.” Our train left for home at eleven o’clock, with the three schools aboard. After a «lay of fun we reached our destination at 12:15 where Clrclevllle and ChilllcotlH� took the Inicrurban car for home. —Helen Kraemer, '07 OBITUARY NOTICES. Deep Wisdom—Swelled head.

With doublings dark, and fears thru Ignorance born. With expectations drear to soon be met By trials sore, and of all pleasure shorn. We slowly bent our way that autumn morn Toward the High School, which, by iips untrue Was much debased with hatred vilo and scorn By that illiterate and Jealous Tew, Who their God given minds to culture did eschew But we to whom the pleasure has been given This school of highest morals to at- tend. Do now by sense of highest, duty driven With one accord our joytul voices blend To sing our High School’s praise. Us name defend From rude attacks by those, whose lives it seems Are spent our taults to find. And who pretend Our goodness not to see; as by this means They think to hide the source from which true knowledge beams. So when by chance thou hear’st some prattling tongue Speak ill of all the virtues of our school. Remember this. That he were better hung, Who thus of his poor self doth make a fool. And thus at once become the dull- edged tool Of Satan, In whose grasp he soon will lay. And ask of this uneducated mule Where he to school did go. and he will say: That he no llkelng for It had and staid away. Or else for years a Freshman did re- main I’ntll by acts too wicked to be told Did for himself deserved expulsion gain. And now with brave untruths and sayings l old And to revenged be. he tries to mold A weapon, whereby our good name will fall. In this he needs must fall, and he grown old. O’er his |K)or sinful self the death- black pall Must pull, and friendless, answer the Creator’s call. We sorrow for you. O mistaken one. Your course Is vain. O could you yet return And here with earnest mind and guarded tongue. Now, for yourself deserved promotion earn. For to the one whose will it is to learn Will measure small of sin and pride appear. For in all life we deadly sin must spurn And with all self-reliance ne’er must fear The right to do: the world of wicked- ness to clear. Thus we, the Senior class of 1907 That this our school with all success may meet. With fervent prayer, our faces turn toward heaven. And hence, as time with hasting step, and ileet. Rolls swiftly on: with recollections sweet We’ll e’er remember «lays we spent within These sacred walls, and tho’ oppo- nents treat Thee with contempt, who friends to thee have been Will know that thru eternity our school must win. —Ralph E.

LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 23 O LAS S P ROP H EO V. Fortuno has smiled very favorably upon me. and luck has always turned her bright countenance toward me, in two respects. I have never been com- pelled to confine myself to any set- tled business and as a consequence have had the time to keep track or those old school-mates of mine. Shortly after 1 hud graduated a rich uncle, who died, bequeathed to me his entire estate. For this reason I have never engaged in any active business, but have been allowed to roam thru the world at my own free will. Like any other becoming suddenly rich I knew not what to do: finally 1 decided to become an Itinerant. I was much encouraged In this by the remembrance of a lecture by Prof. Thomas, in which he endeavored to portray to us the pleasures in travel- ing. Altho this lecture was delivered several years before, it was still fresh in my mind. (As was everything the Prof, said.) So I started from Buffalo, which was then my home, to New York in order to take in a few of tne sights oi ottr own country before leaving for Europe. While strolling up a street, a large sign caught my eye upon which was written the following: Madame Margaret Ritchie, Flesh Reducer. Reduces your flesh while you wait. Why stay fat? Obesity safely and quickly cured. No evil aft- er-effects; I have used it myself. Step in and see for yourself.” Thinking 1 should like to see my old school-mate. I stepped in and had quite a nice talk. She told me New York was not a very good place for her dope” as the people walked so much they didn't have time to get fat. After leaving the Madame I walk- ed on up this street and came across the sign or .1. H. Campbell. M. D. The M. D. was more of an addition to his name than to his [Kicketbook. as 1 later found out: for he still called on papa” for “change. As I continued my walk, I noticed a Studio. 1 myself being Interested In art, entered, In order that 1 might look at some of the work. One pic- ture, In particular, attracted me. It was the portrait of a young lady aud the face seemed quite familiar. Upon inquiry I found it to be Miss Anna Mary McFee, who for several years had been posing for the famous ar- tist, Adelle Smith. Adelle is now a more talented artist titan when in High School, tor she studied abroad in a number of famous colleges and judging from her work her skill is miraculous. I heard a graphophone a few doors up the street, and started on Imme- diately, as such music always at- tracts me, but when I reached the place the music had ceased. How- ever, it soon commenced and announc- ed a piano solo played by Gladys Smith, who had become such a musi- cian that he;- pieces were recorded for gniphopliones. •Seeing a hotel across the way I happened to think how tired I was; so crossing I entered and engaged n room for the night. While talking with the clerk I was Informed that P. MoMiilin was the proprietor here; of course that was pleasant news, and I expressed my desire to have a talk with him, but to my disappointment he was then at Cambridge witnessing .� track meet between Harvard and Yale. After dinner I strolled down the street and was confronted by this sign, which read: K. Frash, chem- ist. 1 entered his office and was giv- en a warm reception by Karl. I after- wards learned that he was considered famous, and with his sweet little wife, A . Adalo Aten, was enjoying life im- mensely. Again 1 went on and in the course of my walk heard such a babel of voices which to me was quite new. This noise was coming from a large building and. of course, quite curi- ous, 1 stepped in and found a com- pany of women. Some (all, rather) were talking and endeavoring to make themselves understood, but such was impossible. The meeting was called to order by the president. Hazel Beck. Above her head on the wall in large letters I saw this: ‘Spinsters’ Convention. ' This worthy body met on Wednesday and Friday mornings of each week, for tbe purpose of do- ing charity work. At a desk on one side sat Hattie Waters doing the work or secretary, and Callie Schorr, treas- urer. 1 was aware of the fact that men were not permitted to bo pres- ent during the meetings of this Holy of Holies, so with hastening steps l again started up the street. On a large sign this caught my eye: “Leon W. Miesso, Hair Specialist. Consult this genius concerning any and all diseases of the scalp. A won- derful hair remedy has been discov- ered by him, which when applied to the scalp produces a heavy growth of hair. He hail continued the prac- tice which he had when in High School, that of combing Ills hair fifty times a day, until after a few years he had combed his head bald. While mixing a chemical compound one day some of it llew on his head where hair instantly sprang up. So he covered his whole head with it and now has a beautiful growth of hair. He is de- lighted to mink that he can now comb his hair without danger of suffering any inconvenience. By this time I was feeling some- what tired and hungry and thought that I would return to my hotel; but, to my disappointment, I was some- what. turned around; so seeing a cop across the street, 1 plucked up cour- age enough to go over and accost him and to my surprise I found him to bo my old school-mate, Karl Bumgardner. He had grown so tall and was so broad that I almost envied him. Aft- er receiving the desired information I found my hotel and spent the night lu peaceful dreams. The lollowlng morning was Sunday and I thought I would like to go to church, so was directed to the Meth- odist Church not far from my abode. On entering, imagine my surprise to see Ralph Hedges occupying the pul- pit. After listening to an eloquent sermon I hastened up to congratulate him. He Invited me to his home where 1 spent a very pleasant day. As 1 was to sail for Europe the next day I went back to the hotel to got some rest While reading a paper i noticed mention of several of my old friends. Frank Stukey was the pros- ecuting attorney of New York, and the paper gave him a blow up. It said that he unraveled cases with miraculous skill and emulated Jerome, a former Attorney, tho’ his satire was not so biting as the latter’s. In the social columns I was rather surprised to see that the great social event of the ensuing week was the double wedding of Nolle Delaney and Gladys Lupher. About 900 invitations had been Issued and it was to be quite a swell affair. On the next morning I sailed for Europe and after spending six long days on the ocean I landed at Liver- pool. England. I Immediately left the ship and while walking along tho street I caught sight of a telephone pole. This looked quite familiar as we have planty of them at home. I saw a man coming down and on close observation 1 found It to be Willard Wolcott. He told me all about him- self since leaving High School. He went to college and after graduating there went to England to claim a po- sition as cartoonist on the London Courier. On account of the high sal- ary he demanded, and the little work lie did, the paper was unable to keep him; and also some financial troubles of Its own caused the paper to go to the wall. So Wllllard having no relatives nor friends in that coun- try was forced to hunt up something else. During the time of Ills high sal- ary. his expenses were great and so he bad saved nothing for the rainy day.” Thus his reason for working in the telephone business was that he might make enough to pay his way back to America. That evening I went to the theatre to see the play Innocence Abroad. The leading lady was Mary Sil- baugh who had become quite a star. The next day I left for France, as I was anxious to visit the capital of the French Nation: and then, too, I had heard that Paul McCrum was an instructor In German in one of the colleges there, so I wished very much to see him. After visiting Paul Tor several days I left for Berlin wnere I heard of Nellie Benadum, Female Lawyer.” She is quite prom- 24 LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. Inent and attained her skill in arguing with .Mr. Thomas in the German class of L. H. S. The remainder of my voyage I did not see any of my old schoolmates and friends; so after a year’s sojourn abroad, 1 returned to my native land. Not yet tired of travel I decided on reaching New York that before 1 set- tled down 1 would visit my childhood home at J ancaster. O. While visiting in Lancaster I saw the rest of my frieuds, among whom wore Elmer Acton, who now was the superintendent of the B. I. S. He had acquired a definite knowledge of the manner in which thiugs should be ex- ecuted by his frequent visits to this Institution in his High School days, uttnough those visits were not busi- ness ones. As assistant superintend- ent. I found Wayne Courtright an ex- cellent officer. I spent several days as guest of my trlends. While visiting the schools one day I found Florence Wentz, Edith Derby- shire and l.ena Hush as teachers. 1 visited the room of each and queer to say round in all this Spoil the Rod, Spare the Child. By the looks of the poor children 1 no not think they wore spared and the majority were spoiled In books. 1 also saw Helen Kraemer who by this time had changed her name, or had it changed for her. She is now spending a happy married life with her Ideal Harry. ' Picking up the paper I noticed that I.io great event oi the week was the reunion of the K. K. K. club, which was to be held at the home of Mary dignes Beck. All members were to be present and great preparations were t.eing made. As 1 had seen all my old chums und schoolmates and was not a member of this famous club I decided that it would be best tor me to return to my home.

Item I. We give and bequeath to the L. H. S. ns a whole, all the money that is left in our treasury, to be used In the purchase of statuary. Item II. We give to our six teach- ers of the High School, restful nights and peaceful dreams, The class of 1907 does hereby promise them a rest from all requests. Item III. To the classes which fol- low us we bequeath the honorable record which wo have carried thru the entire L. H. S. course. Item IV. To the Freshmen we give this advice; they seem able to get everything else unaided. The upper classmen have noticed among the Freshmen a lightness in the head, caused by Its swelling during the past year and we advise them, each and everyone, to have it attended to Im- mediately; for if it continues grow- ing. bu the time they reach the Sen- ior year tne results will be disastrous. Item V. To the Sophomores we be- queath our note books which contain great stores of knowledge and which, also, will be of great use to them. Item VI. To our beloved friends, the Juniors, we give our class hooks and the privilege of sitting in our room, which will, we hope, be appreci- ated as much by them as by us in for- mer times. Last, but by no means least, the Senior dignity, which we know will be a weighty strain on their nerves; but we hope they will bo able to bear up under it. Item VII. To the whole L. H. S. we leave the remnants of the Glee Club, which we hope will do as good work tn the future as when their Senior friends stood beside them. Item VIII. We do hereby appoint our said principal to be the sole executor of this our last will and tes- tament, and request that he may not be required to give bond.

For she thought of the boy Who, with dangers beset Was afar in a land That has always gone wet.” But while in Hartz mountains. You conversed with the Dutch Miss Curtiss, our loved one, Thought of you much: She. at least took a kerchief With a very black border And leaving the city and friends Who adored her. She lied with a sigh To her dear old home; Where she could think undisturbed Of the bird that had flown. Then h'ere’s to Herr Thomas, Who’s returned safe and sound. From the land where pretzels Cover the ground. Where cheese grows on vines Like the pumpkins we have; And the i eoplc aro greasy As Witch Hazel salve. Whore sauer kraut's the food And beer is the drink Herr Thomas, we’re glad That your ship didn't sink. —Ralph E. Hedges, ’07. LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 27 In ancient times there lived on an isle in the Aegean Sea a nymph, whose name was Echo. She was a favorite of Diana, because of her fondness for forests and hills and woodland sports, and attended her in the chase. Grace- ful in form and beautiful in feature, she possessed many charms of char- acter, but sho had one very unfor- tunate habit which resulted in making her. very unhappy. She always insist- ed upon having the last word and no advice seemed to influence her to rid herself of this disagreeable practice. One day Juno was seeking her hus- band, who was amusing himself among the nymphs and Echo, by her talking, retained the goddess till the nympth3 could escape. When Juno discovered this sho was 'so enraged that she pronounced upon Echo this penalty. She was never more to be allowed to speak except to repeat the last words in any sentence addressed to her. From that time forth she lived in caves and among mountain cliffs. At first she did not realize how grant a cross this punishment would prove, but one day her lover was searching for her. He called again and again, but all sho could do was to re- peat his last words. He thought she mocked him and soon left her to her- self. Her form faded and her flesh shrank away. Her bones changed to rocks and there was nothing lett but ner voice. Even today that sounds and resounds front point to point, Joining with us in laughter or taunting us with scorn, according to the natttre or our call. But her voice is still living immortal, The same you have frequently heard In your rambles, in valleys and forests. Repeating the ultimate word.” Such is the old legend which gives us the origin of the echo, which has surprised aud delighted us in child- hood and puzzles us even in our more mature years. And just as infallibly as our words are echoed so are the acts of our livos. As we turn our ears to the melodies of the ages what interesting echoes greet us. echoes from some of the great lives that have preceded- ours. Michael Angelo, one of the great- est of artists, has left to the world masterpieces of unspeakable value. His life and personality wore long ago forgotten but his works remain and always will, the monuments of a noble and profitable life. His sculp- ture and paintings in St. Peter's Cathe- dral have been the Inspiration of the world of artists from Jiis day to the present time. Are they not echoes worthy of any life? One of the Irreparable losses of the great London fire in 1666 was the de- struction of the old Gothic church of St. Paul. For ten years attempts were mado to reconstruct it, but it remained for the most famous archi- tect of the period, Sir Christopher Wren, to accomplish the great task. He was hampered by ignorant inter- ference and apparently was not satis- fied with his own design, for he ob- tained permission from the king to al- ter it as much as he liked. For this reason the actual building bears littlo resemblance to the approved design and is superior to it in every way. After his death Wren was burled un- der the grand dome of this, his grand- est work. On a tablet near the tomb of the master-builder, one reads this inscription in Latin: If you seek his monument, look about you. Richard Wagner's operas are the echoes not of his life alone or of those living in his age. but of the stories and myths of ancient times and the great truths of our religion. Although a famous musician, his name would not be venerated, almost worshipped, by lovers of music today, were it not for Lohengrin. Tannhauser and Par- sifal. which not only preserve his name and fame, but inspire us with a love of true music. In literature, especially in the realm of epic poetry, there is no name more honored and reveled than that of Homer. In his Iliad and Odyssey he preserves and keeps alive the names of many heroes of the Trojan War, who otherwise would have been long ago ignored and forgotten. Cicero realized this, when, in speaking of Achilles, he said, “Unless this Iliad had existed, the tomb which covers his body would also have covered his name.” As we approach more modern times, there is a statesman who has left to the world an echo of varied and resounding tones—our own revered McKinley. I-Ils life of integrity and devotion, his love of the simplicities and realities of life, have made him, as Senator Hoar said. Ihe best be- loved of our presidents. His influence in governmental affairs and the new relationship between North and South which he was instrumental In effecting—these are echoes such as any man might covet for his own. In the natural world the fainter sounds are re-echoed quite as dis- tinctly as the louder ones and some- times are of even longer duration. So it is with life. Our own acts .echo just as certainly as do those of great- er men. How careful we should be to order our lives in such a way that the coming days and years may bear the Influence of profitable, busy, help- ful men and women. Worlds are . charging—heaven be- holding, Thou hast but an hour to fight; Now the blazoned cross unfolding On—right onward for the right! On! let all the soul within you For the truth’s sake go abroad! S'.rlke! let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages—tell for God. HARRIET WATERS. '07.
