LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL X-RAYS. 21 A SENIOR S THOUGHTS. Four years ago with hesitating step. 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.

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. More glassware in chemical labora- tory. James Campbell. Apparatus in gym by all. Anti-fat by M. Ritchie. Some one to love me. F. Stulcey. OF LATE. Lives of great men all remind us As we learn them day by day That they’d best bo put behind us Out of sight and far away. L. B. to Willis H— Say. where is •Bookie? (R. Crook.) Willis H.—'I don't know. I’m not the High School librarian.’’ English history puzzles me, I never could see why. After so many reigns It still should be so dry. 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.
