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. We take this opfiortunity In thank- ing the school and faculty for the assistance they have given us In the writing of our paper. THE STAFF.
