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.

Hello is vulgal Become intimate with the Freshmen; It gives you an insight into human- nature. Sing your loudest in chapel; there is always a possibility that you might be asked to sing a solo on commence- ment. (We know, too.) WANTED BY L. H. S. STUDENTS.

It is not so necessary to find heroes and heroines ns to see them in every one. OUR TRIP TO LOGAN. One of the most enjoyable events of the year was the oratorical contest held at Logan on May :td. 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.
