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.

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. And on June the 18th will go to Pleasantviile to give a concert In the M. P. Church. LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 225 I V S GW ANTILL’S . - . For ...

12 LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 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. On the morning of April 8th the school was saddened by the announce- 4 Ella TSxinn% [jl | Tinemillinerv 122 'Broad st. ATTTTTTTTfTT
