It is with deepest sorrow in our hearts, that we pay this tribute to the fond memory of our beloved teacher. To us, she was the embodiment and personification of gentleness, grace, patience, culture and re- finement. To know her meant not only to esteem and love her, but anyone coming in close con- tact with her felt lifted above the small things in life, and realized the presence of a great soul. We are thankful that it was our good fortune to know Miss Highland. Faculty Personnel Minnie Amerine.................. Latin Adale Aten.......... English Paul Aten Commercial Mary E. Balderson .

Behold, there shall be times and seasons and troublous years for this generation, and men shall wax old and weary with the toil of life be- cause they were not perfectly furnished thereto. But unto those whose names are written in the book, of this prophecy there shall be no weariness of years. And that to which they set themselves shall be accomplished as it is written in the book of this prophecy. There came unto me in the stillness of the night the Muse, whose hair was of silver threads, his eyes were drops of radium, his brow was white like the snow, his vesture was a Cereus Cloud. And he spake unto me saying. Come hither, and I shall show you many things which shall shortly come to pass. And I arose and he carried me away in the spirit to the brink of a beautiful calm lake. A light canoe paddled by Marie Acker shot across the still surface and as the young girl arose to scan the shore the craft capsized, throwing her into the water. A tall young man rushed from the bank and swam out to the girl. As he brought her to the surface I knew it was Dewitt He righted the canoe and the two returned to the little Swiss village where they were spending their honeymoon The sun was sinking behind the adjacent mountain, its red gold rays glorifying the snow-capped peak. From around an icy ledge slowly advanced Otto, a mountain guide, leading the globe trotter. Margaret Johnson, across the Alps. Almost at once I saw again these well loved halls Assembly had been called and the principal, Ruth Hummel, was lecturing the Freshmen on the clangers of parking their Kiddie Kars in the halls. A physical culture department had been installed with Dorothy Rabe as instructor In the Domestic bciencc Laboratory a busy class supervised by Anna Pence w as preparing hot lunches to be served free to the students at the noon hour. The vision faded and lo. I was in the City I lospital. A pleasant nurse, Flcanor, greeted me and led me to a w'ard where Henrietta Dickson and Dorothy Himes lav swathed in bandages. Dorothy had broken her neck while attempting to raise a new flag over the City Hall in a patriotic demonstration. Henrietta, while in college, had been kicked by her pony and severely injured. A noted surgeon had been summoned from England but I would never have recognized the w hite robed figure, had Flcanor not explained that it was Dr. Paul Langwasser. Over many fields I wander with the Muse to the land of the Great West. On a little farm in ISouth Dakota. Ana Miesse was calling an army of chickens to their evening meal. While thus engaged she was hailed by a lusty call as the school teacher. Ella Veidt, mounted upon a black pony cantered down the slope from the little red brick schoolhouse On a large ranch at the foot of the Rockies, I found Mike Hoyman smoking his after dinner pipe and loudly snoring beneath a great tree. Everything else was in a state of hurry and confusion. Ralph Darling, chief cowboy of the Hoyman outfit, w as making ready for the spring rhodeo. Across the brown prairie galloped a girl in sombrero with coiling lariat swinging high in pursuit of a big steer. As she came nearer I recognized Virginia Richardson, the Cattle Queen of the Rio Grande. Again I find myself transported to Mexico. The sky was brilliant with (lame and the horrible roar of cannon and shriek of battle filled the air. On 1922 Wf WWW MIRAGE 1922 a bloody battlefield Sergeant McLain fell wounded. From the dark came an angel-faced girl, clothed in white with a red cross on her brow, and I saw Mabel Zcisler with the aid of Isabelle Kistler. the ambulance driver, take the soldier to a base hospital where he was put in charge of Dr. James Bruncy. It was sunrise on the deep. A diver was about to make a search for pearls. In astonishment I recognized Margaret Smetters in a diver's suit. She turned, signaled to Pilot Fdgar Williams, and began her descent to the pearl fisheries The sea gave place to the interior of a home for Spinsters. Here, surrounded by a group of admiring relics of Flapperism. Gladys Shaeffer and Ireta Huddle were telling of the conquests they had made while in school Far over distant seas we traveled. In his private office of the First National Bank of the Hawaiian Islands. President Benson Smith was dictating letters to his private secretary. Fern Pacot. At the cashier's window Lawrence Micsse was passing out crisp banknotes to John Marten, oil king, who straightway lit a fat cigar with a thousand dollar note. In the Bahama Islands a chain of flourishing manufactories had sprung up and Robert Reed had made a fortune from the sale of his wonderful Gyro-Compasses My companion took me by the hand and we entered the Land of the Rising Sun. It was sunset and the chapel bells were tinkling faintly In a secluded spot on a grassy knoll, sat Beryl, surrounded by a group of admiring heathen child- ren She was telling them Bible Stories that had been compiled by Elizabeth Flcwctson, the noted child's author Swiftly we sped to Borneo where I saw Standish O’Grady. Sog had learned dentistry at college and had come back to Lancaster to establish an office. His practice was so painful, however, that the peace of the whole commumts was often disturbed by the howls and shrieks issuing from his office At last Mayor Ruth Pickering exiled him and ordered her sheriff. Fugenie Hummel, to take him away to spend the rest of his days taming the wild women of Borneo. In San Francisco stcxxl a large building. On the front a sign proclaimed. Edmond’s Non-Gravvablc Shirt Front Co. Inside I found the bookkeeper. Mary Louise Ewing, and the inseparable stenogs. Helen Richardson and Anna Louise Bauman. In the next block the Police Gazette Office stood. The paper had grown to a monstrous size under the new editor. Francis Mock. Much credit must be given, however, to the illustrator. Donald Rockey. Farther down the street. Policeman Red Pickering was chasing a Chinaman up an alley A distant purring came to my ear. Looking up I saw Kate Nolder in one of the latest biplane models doing hair-raising stunts for a California moving picture corporation, controlled by Arthur Klise. Her noted co-star Hilda Molar, was preparing to swing by her toes while Kate did a nose dive. I caught my breath and immediately saw the town hall at Sugar Grove. The prelude to the program was played by our violinist. Ralph Humphrey, accom- panied by Grace Voris. As the music died away, Clarence Keller introduced the Prima Donna of the evening. Lucille Dcffenbaugh From the topmost row of the peanut gallery. Mae Baumgardner Fink and her husband beamed joyfully upon their former classmates. The vision faded and the Muse spake saying. Behold the future happiness of thy dearest friend. And. indeed I looked down upon an amazing scene. On the calm waters of a Venetian canal, under the silver beams of the moon, floated three gondolas. In the first, decked in gay colors, was a band of musicians. Jack Fumiss. in quaint Italian costume, led them in playing the dreamiest of 1 iawaiian music. The second gondola in the form of a beautiful swan was com- pletely lined with wonderful brides roses and gorgeous rosettes. Seated among the flowers were Donald and Thalta. With them were the maid of honor. Bess An- derson. and Myles Turner, the best man The third gondola was completely covered w ith ferns and palms from the tropics and filled with gayly dressed brides- maids. bearing huge bouquets The procession glided on to a massive cathedral. Irene Witham was playing a resounding prelude on the organ as the Minister. I’afff Ticrnty-mx 1922WWWWW MIRAGE 1922 Claude Williamson, in a surplice, came slowly into the chancel. Then began the sweet strains of the wedding march and the bridal train solemnly advanced to the altar. I was very happy, and. turning to gaze again upon the scene. I saw in its stead the interior of a court room. Court was in session and Judge Cowden arose in magnificent solemnity and sentenced the guilty Professor Zartman to ten days of hard work, in laboratory for cruelty to dumb seniors. Joyfully. I entered a theater on Broadway. New York. Sadie Silver’s latest musical comedy. The Scream. with Martin Behle, the comedian of the nation, was portrayed in a Hashing sign. The show was the hit of the season. Its two main features were Maabel Good’s five-hundred piece orchestra and its chorus of a thousand beautiful girls, among whom I recognized Annabelle Mechling, Kathryn Wright, and Ruth Pfeiffer The night waned and we sped swiftly to Madagascar. There, in an im- pressive skyscraper. Ruth Littrel was making a fortune manufacturing false faces On the twelfth floor Mary Wogan had her laboratories. Mary had astounded the world by her recent discovery of Silimangatitc. a substance which made glass malleable On the topmost floor of the same structure. Mildred Hay was compiling her new Dictionary for 1942 Rappers. Across the hall Marjorie Smith, in matronly spectacles, was successfully conducting a matrimonial bureau It seemed the air grew still warmer and soon I realized I was in a fashionable summer resort. Paul Primrose had established this on the North Eastern coast of Africa. Among the little white cottages was a beauty parlor inside which the society leader of the season. Annabelle Reef, was having a permanent wave installed under the care of her sister Eldred. Margaret Skinner Primrose owned a large hotel here. On one of the wide verandas sat the Duchess dc Nottarock, for- merly Rose Keller Rose had married a foreign nobleman who had died, leaving her nothing but his title Rose, always shrewd, relying on the marvelous skill of her jockey. Arthur Walt, played the races successfully. Mose Brenncman seemed to have changed his mode of life entirely. In the Cuban Republic I found him an energetic fighter for national prohibition. His war was waged especially against oasis-seekers from Florida However surprising, this was not the greatest shock In Panama. Ed Moody stepped from a restaurant and fell dead from an overdose of apple-dumplings. Men rushing up. carried him into the parlors of a nearby undertaker The solemn- faced undertaker. Robert Dickson, said. Humph, Ed was always a heavy eater. At once I came again to Ohio I heard a great shouting and the deafening clamor of a brass band. The crowded arena of the Ohio State Stadium came into view. The cheering throng was led by Paul Abele. who. after ten years of more or less hard work and frequent expulsion, had at last become a senior in that institution. The noise arose to a deafening roar and shouts of Coach Donovan ! Coach Donovan! were heard as the team came onto the field. The cheers were re- echoed from the opposite side as Coach Wolford came in. leading his team from Indiana. In a classroom at Athens University Prof. Emit Clark was giving a Biological lecture. He plunged his hand into a large stone jar and. drawing out a hissing snake, proceeded to perform a vivisection before the wondering gaze of a class of Freshmen. In the next room Hazel Martin was grading papers handed in from a Hebrew' exam. The next scene was in the Northland Edith Rider and Mary Florence Schneider, w ith ten dog-sleds loaded w ith seed, were on their way to prospect in cotton raising in Alaska On the brink of a deep canyon stood Stan Pratt, a rock tied to his neck, ready to leap. His friend. Edward Veidt. rushing up. caught him and induced him to change his mind. Then the two departed in a submarine to establish a hot-dog stand at the South Pole. Again I stood on an athletic field. A baseball game between the National Bloomer Girls and the New Zealand Red Sox was in progress. In astonishment Pag4 Twenty-term 1922 wwwww MIRAGE imwwm 1922 1 recognized Helen Weidner as Captain of the Nationals and the champion home- run hitter. Helen Sockman In the slums of a crowded Canadian city I found Isabelle Marshall superin- tending a Sunday-school for crippled orphans. After traveling over distant seas 1 found Betty Kindler busy in her studio of classical dancing in the “Ginger Snap Islands Back in Lancaster Pauline Mondhank stood on a street corner making speeches in behalf of the suffering cats of the community. Helen Mowery with a sym- pathetic heart stood ready holding a mite box. A grand limousine rolled up and assisted by Mae Weidiner, her liveried chauffeur. Elva Coleman alighted. Gathering her silken skirts about her. she advanced to Helen and contributed a penny to the worthy fund. Again I heard the loud noise of a crowd of people. Drawing near I found the street in front of Heft's Ladies Haberdashery Store completely jammed. In the show window Elizabeth Thomas was posing in a pair of striped hosiery and the sensation was causing a riot. A new scene. In a spacious auditorium. Law yer Gladys Eicrry was electioneer- ing in behalf of Helen Deeds, the Suffragist candidate for Presidency. The only disinterested person in the audience was the baldheaded Prof Miller who sat on a front seat, lost in scholastic reflections. I began to laugh and the Muse led me to a beautiful tropical fairyland He spoke in a low tone “This was once the Sahara Desert. Advancing toward us came Harry Eisele and Edson Eeeman. the prospectors who had wrought this miracle. In this fairyland lived Amelia Darfus and Ruth Eslinger on their ostrich farm. Far into the interior we wandered and came upon a hunting party. Anna Voris. trapeze performer, and Dorothy Hyle were collecting animals for Ringling Brothers' Circus. In faraway China a young missionary, whom I recognized as Mary Godown, was teaching the Chinese children to eat rice with a spoon. The night was swiftly drawing to a close. We came into a mountainous region. I heard a sweet yodel and soon a beautiful girl, Melva Ellis, came into view in swift pursuit of some sheep through the laurel thicket. High up on a cliff, overshadowed by rhododendron, was a partially hidden cave. Climbing cautiously up the steep little path. I came upon a lonely hermit w'hom I recognized as Maurice Chappius. Dawn was tingeing the eastern sky with crimson when the Muse restored me to my abode And, draw ing nigh, he spake saying, And so it shall come to pass. These shall be gathered unto their fathers in their old age and the dust shall cover them. But the spirit of the Class of '22 shall not perish from the earth until the moon and stars shall wax old and the sun refuse to give light. Viviene Poole l'aa« Twmt eight IKE Grape Nuts, there's a reason for this lengthy and ponderous history being written. It is a noble attempt to relate the valiant deeds, the many trials, and misdemeanors that we as a class have been guilty of. May it serve as a guide for our successors (should they happen to read it) to help them in their numerous failures and successes. The Dawn of History A balmy September day in 1019 marked the beginning of a famous history. The history of the class of 1022. In Lancaster high school there was deposited a scroll upon which were recorded the names of almost 200 Freshmen. Said scroll was of the greenest green hue imaginable. Thus spoke the rest of the school We went through the usual proceedings of initiation and we frankly con- fess our astonishment that our first days were spent in so much tranquillity. We fully expected a vigorous initiation But wait' Our calm was soon dealt a rude jolt when one morning our upper classmen started singing. “The Frcshics arc foolish the Frcshics arc green. They arc really the funniest things we have seen Their ways ure so awkward, th ir speech a disgrace. They’re the silliest things you will find round th; place Then our troubles as a class began Lively competition sprang up imme- diately. We responded to the various organizations of the school and were well represented in all of them. Our class gave early promises of attaining fame and we set about building a firm foundation upon which we fondly dreamed of placing our future greatness. As Freshmen we did not immediately come into the lime light but just the same we proved a wide-awake enthusiastic class. We had a long vacation w'hen the flu epidemic swept over the city Our joy at this unexpected vacation however was turned into grief at the death of two of our classmates. Clarence W alters and Robert W olf. They have crossed the bar into the Great Unknown but. as a perfect jewel retains all its splendor, so will their bright personalities remain a living memory among us. With the opening of the Basket Ball season our boys won the inter-class championship. Knowing no bounds to our joy at this victory wx burst into poetic strains and wrote:— Tis true that wc arc slightly green Of this there is not a doubt But when it came to Basket Ball The Frcshics froze you out. Thus our first year of high school passed and we celebrated its end with a picnic at Crystal Springs. The first change in our history took place and wc came now' to Ancient History Our Sophomore year found us with our number slightly decreased but with enthusiasm almost bubbling over The success of the class this year was due chiefly to our energetic president. Maxwell Heft, who was elected soon after school had opened. Wc chose Miss Amerine for our class advisor and as our motto. I'au Turnt f.ninc |1922 wwwww M 1 rage] 1922| Be Backward in Nothing, Onward and Upward. We have tried to live up to this as faithfully as possible. Being a most energetic class we entered into all activities, whether class or school, immediately. Our girls won the interclass championship in basket ball and sent three members to the Varsity team The biggest event of the year was the Field Meet, the first ever held by Lancas- ter High School. Our class was very well represented in all track events. We were tremendously proud of one of our girls, Kathryn Nolder. who stood first in six track events. She scored more than half the points made by our class and was given a gold medal as the best girl athlete of the day. We also organized a girls' baseball team, elected Henrietta Dickson captain, and won the cham- pionship. thereby being presented with a silver trophy cup. We celebrated the end of this successful Sophomore year with a picnic at Buckeye Lake. The second change in our history brings to Medieval History To start the inner workings again we held our elections soon after school opened Stanley Pratt was elected president and again Miss Amerine as ad- visor. Full of pep and enthusiasm we held many jolly social affairs, among them a Hallowe'en Masquerade which we deem worthy of mention for the reason that Jack Furniss and Jack Martin said they had a fine time. We agree with you boys, absolutelp! In February we presented our class play Nothing But The Truth.” It was a huge success. Everybody agreed that Claude Williamson made a perfect Reverend especially in oratorical qualifications. In basket ball this year both the boys and girls of our class won the champion- ship and four boys went to the Varsity team. Our class came out a close second in the Field meet. We had a girls' base ball team again and were a second time victorious. Helen Wcidcncr was captain. We held another picnic at Buckeye Lake to mark the close of our Junior year. The last change of our high school history took place when began our Modern History The Golden Age is here. Seniors at last! Stanley Pratt is chosen again to steer us through our last voyage. Miss Amerine for the third time is elected advisor. Our standing in athletics this year was as good as formerly The first thing we hear to remove our attention from lessons is foot ball. Nine Seniors on the team and L. H. S. suffers only three defeats. Among the numerous class functions this year was our Theater Party to Logan. Here about thirty-five Seniors witnessed a wonderful drama entitled Sentimental Tommy. Before the show was half over its effect on the Seniors was truly remarkable. There were several Sentimental Tommies in the audience and somebody (could it have been a Senior?) amused himself by rolling jaw breakers on the floor to help out the three-piece orchestra. Our class play Stop Thief was truly a tremendous success. Miss Aten deserves much credit as she coached the play. Jack Martin made a perfectly wonderful husband in the play and we all think he should decide upon a stage career. And now our High School history is closed, but we hope we shall have gathered some inspiration from the work done and friendships formed that will lit us for history in the college world, the business world, and the home world. Thalta Steinhoff Pagr Thirty b. the members of the Class of 1922, of Lancaster High School, having hearts as big as (don’t be stunned if we say barrels), do declare this to be our last will and testament to dispose of all our chattels, personal effects, burdens and responsibilities which we have acquired during the four years of struggle inside the walls of Lancaster High School, and to that end. do solemnly bequeath and devise, as follows: I. To each member of the Faculty, wc bequeath a small yet mighty flower, the I'or-gct-mc-not. II To our friends the bob-haired Junior girls we leave a pair of scissors that their locks may be kept in trim. III. To Oscar Schneider we leave the proceeds of class fights to finance him in further study of the theories of Prof. Darwin. IV. To the swamped Juniors of Chemistry Lab. we leave you the scientific mind of our fellow student Bob. Reed. V To Hod Highland we bequeath the brown derby hcre- to-fore possessed by our silent classmate Edward Vcidt. VI. To Shrimp Delong we leave John Martin’s tuxedo and high hat in order that he may still rate with the fairer sex and be re-elected president of his class. VII. We bequeath to Maurice Wheaton the ability to get w ise. now possessed by Mike Hoyman who has succeeded in graduating. VIII. Upon the faculty, one and all. we bestow such bits of gratitude as we possess, such atoms of patience as we have acquired, kindness and forbearance as we have gathered to- gether, and we hope that these w ill be passed on to the succeed- ing classes in realization of the fact that many times between the beginning and ending of most every High School student’s career there is a time that may be termed Life’s Darkest Moment. 1‘aije.

To the remaining three classes of L. H. S.. as well as the incoming Freshman Class, we bequeath our ability and prowess in games of football and basketball. XI. To Mr. Nixon we leave some valuable information concerning a hair specialist but owing to the restrictions of printing professional names in this column he will please come to us personally. XII. To Coach McClure, understanding his trials and tribulations, his hardships, his success and failures, his tears and rejoicing, we extend our hand in deep appreciation of what he has done for us. XII. To the Junior class we leave our pep. our ability to put on good plays, our swaybacked ponies and other useful articles which go to make up a Senior class.

Then, again, in solemn voices All the tribe discussed the maidens Named them over, one by one. Named them for the Big Chief's helper. And at last named one sweet maiden. One who was. beyond all others. Fit for the great task before her. Fit to be the Chieftain's helper When, at last, the shades of evening Fell upon the solemn conclave.

Filled the hearts of brave , and maidens For it rained, it poured in torrents And the Woods was but a river Shining in the stormy lightning. So the Sophomores, sad and mournful. Weary, wound their northward way. To the tepee of their Towtling. To the home of their advisor. Where they found sweet cheer and comfort Found it in her warm big heart. Later, as the ghosts drew nearer To the day they call their own. Tribe of Sophomores planned a party. Planned a least, a frolic merry. Planned it for the ghosts and goblins.

Pag Forty Freshmen Class T922wmmmwrR age rspwp? 1922] The Freshman Class w ,y REAT OAKS from little acorns grow.” And so it is that all great Ij Seniors from little Freshmen grow. Since that eventful September morn when we were given such a warm reception into Lancaster High School, a whole school year has passed and we have found out that being Freshmen isn't the worst thing in the world; we've just heard about the starving children in Russia. Then all of a sudden we became ambitious, although wc knew that it was dangerous, for look what happened to Caesar. We pursued our ambition, how- ever, and on the afternoon of February 21, 1922, assembled in the Auditorium for the purpose of organizing. The meeting was a great success, and the follow- ing officers were elected: President Francis King Vice-President George Martin Secretary Dorothy Delancy Treasurer. Virginia Radebaugm Advisor................................... Mr. Marquis In way of a motto, it was decided that. “We lead; others follow. Green and white were chosen as the class colors, and sweet peas for the class (lower. For a Freshman Class we have been well represented in all varsity sports, and have dor.c exceedingly well in class basketball. Our future in Athletics is a prom- ising one, and the material in the class is abundant. Many of the members of the class of ’25 will undoubtedly bring to their class, in the years to come, great fame by their success in the world. Take for example La Venia Radebaugh, who will devote most of her life to the pursuit of art, and at last gain fame through a painting entitled. “Spirit of the Grasshopper. And there is Ruth Kneller, who will take Mr. Marquis' Physical Geography classes when he resigns on a State pension. Francis King will make a fortune by posing for Arrow Collar advertisements while Pauline Moody will eventually go as a Missionary to Africa, and after another Royal Wedding, we will see her dragging the king of Africa home w ith her. And there is Brooks McCracken, who the gods have destined to be president of the United States. .Viable Lisle w ill find fame on the stage, and some day we may induce her to dance for us on the stage of the I ligh .School Auditorium. And then one whom you recognize as Mary Huston, who is traveling for the Wrigley Chewing Gum Company, will probably settle in Gumtown. As everyone knows, Dorothy Delaney will become a musician and be the directress of a two piece jazz band whose concerts will be given in Athens. On the Main Street of Sugar Grove, Paul Clements will be the proprietor of a beauty parlor, whose best patrons are Misses Wandless and Griffeth. I he most grace- ful member of the class will be Harriet Trimble, who will finally become teacher of aesthetic dancing in Bremen. As pupils she will have some of the greatest Page Fortv three dancers of Fairfield County. Vergene Wolf will become an Algebra teacher, since that is her favorite study. John Rauch is to be the pious member of the class and will devote much of his time to the study of Holy Rollerism. I here are many others who arc worthy of mention, but we are allowed to give but a few examples. If you can see into the future as we have, you will have to admit that the Class of '25 is certainly a great class. Virginia Radebaugm Freshman Spread The Class of 25 had its first spread on Friday. March 31st. The room was beautifully decorated in green and white, the class colors The evening was started with a grand march, after w hich games were played. The refreshments, sandwiches, deviled eggs, cake and ice cream were delicious. The guests of the evening were Miss Hoffhines, Mrs. Zartrnan. Dean Hick- son. and the class advisor. Mr. Marquis. The class was well represented by its members, who showed fine spirit in the cheering w hich was led by Cheer Leaders Rauch and Clements. The various committees are to be complimented on the smoothness and success with which they handled the whole program.

Ai: They have boosted the High School in all activities and in recogni- tion of this we are greatly indebted to: Torn as Studio B. F. Antii.l Benua’s H. E. Cillispif.

Kesincer Kessels’ Fashion Shop Marten's Hardware Company Mayer Brothers Gerhard Miller Company Mondhank Mills Henry Morris Raymond R Reef Rothbardt’s Valentine Reid Electric Company Ward Son The Frank Winter Hardware Company Work Briner Borrowed Books T he failure to return borrowed books is a lamentable evil. This applies in the College Preparatory Course of our school, for in it much of the student s work depends upon his ability to procure the proper reference books. Every year one or more books disappear permanently from the reserve shelves. In most cases they are just missing from the library, not lost. In time they can usually be found in locker rooms, or jammed in the corner of desks and unearthed at examination time when the desks receive their final cleaning, pre- paratory to the close of school In individual cases the loss may seem small, hut when the number lost is totalled the figures are astonishingly great. Then. too. some of the books arc out of print and it is almost impossible to replace them. Students should have enough interest in the equipment of the school to rec- tify the errors of a more careless generation of undergraduates, by collecting wandering books and returning them. It might he well for the library authorities to name a day when lost, strayed or stolen volumes could be returned with no questions asked. This might help in bringing a few of the lost books back to the library, but the way to keep them there is for each student to return the books he borrows as soon as possible in order that others may use them It surely is not asking too much of each student to request him to act as a committee of one in safeguarding against jeopardizing and defacing the hooks, and also to aid in keeping them in orderly arrangement. Not simply to give them a hit or miss fling toward the shelves, with no regard whatsoever as to their logical place. Appreciation for the privilege of the use of these reference books, that are provided, should promote a careful regard for them The Need of an Athletic Field Athletics have been the best means of recreation and sport from the time of the Ancient Greeks to the present day. To live a wholesome life a person must have some sort of amusement, so it is with boys and girls going to school. Athletics quicken the thinking power of the contestant, and makes him ready to meet any emergency with a strong mind and body. They bring out the best l’ao« Fortv—iaht 19221Tjrpiiqr mirage iipppfi i922] in ones self and strengthen his weaknesses. If these things are done for the player, why don t we give our students a chance to enter into the athletic sports of the day? An athletic field under proper supervision would give each one going to school an equal chance to become a clean cut. clear thinking sportsman. Along with the good received by the individual, the opportunity to W'atch athletic contests with rival schools will instil into each, school spirit and a desire for fair plav Let everyone back our school for a well equipped athletic field so that'every pupil may receive its benefits in the building of manly American citizens. School Loyalty Although this is a somewhat hacneyed subject, too much stress cannot be laid upon it. Now, just w'hat does loyalty to ones school mean? Loyalty to one s school involves persistent and intelligent interest in all that concerns the welfare of our alma mater It means that steadily through all the years we keep ourselves informed on the affairs of our school, of its personnel and equipment of the work that it does, of the product that it turns out. It means that we should study from the outside angle the demands of the hour upon the schools, and that we should know from the inside to what extent our own school is meeting these demands and what it stands for Loyalty means that one can always be counted on by one s school to stand by, to respond with information, advice, influence, work, money, that busy as one is. one can do one more thing; that poor as one is. one is willing to share what one has, if by any means one can serve his alma mater. Loyalty means love deep and abiding; loyalty means confidence in the present of one s school and faith in its future; loyalty means service to the limit of ones power. Loyalty means keeping in tune with the school spirit. Some people in the school seem to be sadly out of tune I hey may be in harmony w ith their ow n personal sphere but certainly not w ith the spirit of the school. Every student who goes his own independent way, regardless of whether or not his actions rhyme with that of his school is striking a discord. Every student is a key, a small but essential part of the school key board. When the school wants to accomplish anything and make it the greatest possible success, every key must be in tune, in order to produce the results desired and we have a right to expect the best If the school is sponsoring an athletic, educational, or any other kind of activity, it requires that every note sound and be harmonious.' Disinterested, and rusted keys spoil the rhythm. Show' your loyalty, don’t be out of tune or rusty. Our New Teachers Our arrival at school this year was marked by an extraordinary number of new teachers. All ol them have made many friends among the students and we hope they will be with us next year. Mr. Hartman, who left us last June in a state of single blessedness, returned last fall a married man It soon became evident that neither Mr. nor Mrs. Zart- man could possibly survive the day without a sight of each other, so Mrs. Zart- man accepted a position on our faculty Another new member of the faculty is the jovial commercial teacher Miss Balderson. Although her jurisdiction extends onlv over the commercial depart- ment she is well known and liked by the whole of the student body. We often wonder where she acquired her eloquence of speech and her rippling laughter that greets us ere we reach the top of the stairs. She adds joy and spice to our busy days and we can all say with one accord that we are glad she came into our midst. Because of the large Freshman class. Mr. Marquis came to L. H S. about the first of October. 1 his quiet, amiable young man made friends immediately. Besides being a competent instructor. Mr. Marquis has shown interest in Athletics Poor Forty- int 922WWWWW' MIRAGE 1922 this year and, as a result, has been given the supervision of the Class Baseball Tournament. His selection was very popular and under his able direction base- ball should have an important place in L. H. S. athletics. We were quite surprised to loose one of our favorite teachers, Miss Cunning- ham. and were quite astonished to find Cupid claiming her. but that is what happened and now you must say Mrs. Benua. We were delighted to hear that Miss Lawrence was to fill the vacancy and since her arrival she has gained many friends. She has only been with us a short time but we feel that she has always been with us. When you see her bright and smiling face you cannot help but return a smile We as members of L H. S. vote her as a number one teacher. When we lost our dear teacher Miss Locke we all felt sad and knew that we could never forget her. and I know we never will, for she was like a sunbeam with her golden locks and smiling face. We wondered who would fill her place and with beating hearts we waited, but our hearts should not have failed us so, for w e soon found that there w ere other teachers just as sweet and kind as Miss Locke. As soon as we saw our new teacher. Miss Kahlcr, we liked her and she has from the first day had our respect and appreciation. We love her and feel that we couldn’t have had a nicer and dearer teacher. Last but not least comes Mr. Nixon, who teaches us to keep our accounts. During the football season his assistance to Coach McClure was most valuable. Mr Nixon is a splendid football player himself and his work with the team last fall had much to do with our commendable football record this year. Latin Club The increased enrollment in the Latin classes this year is very encouraging, and is without a doubt due to the Latin Club. Under the able direction of Miss Amerine this club, organized a few' years ago, has continued its good work in L H. S. The purpose of the club is to make a detailed study of Roman Life. Litera- ture, Customs, and History. Because of limited time many subjects of interest connected with the Roman World cannot be discussed in the classroom. Such subjects are taken up at the Latin Club, and their discussion is a most valuable supplement to the Latin course. The officers of this club are: President Benson Smith Secretary and Treasurer Helen Deeds The following program was given at one of their meetings. 1) Relation of l,atin to Practical Life .De Wirr Bauman 2) The Druids James Murtauch 1) Oracles Gladys Bf.ery 4) Food of the Romans ..............Helen Sleman Following this interesting program, a social hour was enjoyed during which refreshments were served. High School Lecture Course Lancaster High School this year under the management of Prin. Dean M- Hickson took over the old Library Lecture Course. It is now' known as the High School Lecture Course. The plan of the man- agement is to use surplus funds for the high school library. Six numbers were given during the season of 1921-1922. They w'ere: Lieu rance Symphonic Orchestra . . ........November 17 Lincoln McConnel December It Davis, Magician.. Junuarv J Leitf.r Light Opera Co January ll Margaret Stami February 14 Carl Akeley.

H S. 1 he object of this C.Iub is to create an interest in scientific subjects and pro- vide a time and place for their discussion. In this they have been successful. Inventions, scientific discoveries, and recent research arc discussed at their meetings, together with elementary astronomy and the study of physical and chemical action. Articles dealing with these subjects are assigned and reported upon. The Club owes much of its success to the following efficient corps of officers: President Donald Lehew Vice President Esther HEWETSON Secretary-Treasurer Marie Acker Following the program a social hour is enjoyed and the deep and ponderous thoughts of science arc forgotten for an hour of fun. Here is an example of their interest- ing programs: 1) How the Radioplanc iv Bringing the World to Wisconsin Firesides Francis Rutherford 2) Wounded Veterans Discover New Joys in Wireless Music.........Myles Turner 3) Uncle Sam Plans Storage Vaults in Old Mines for Precious Supply of Helium Clarence Pickerinc 4) Every Day Science Marik Acker The program committee consists of Lawrence Miesse and Elizabeth Hewetson. Pa a Fifty-on School Days October 5 SPECIAL assembly was called by Mr Hickson to promote the sale of tickets for the L.H.S. Lecture Course. Mr Hickson explained to us the difference between a Lyceum ikircau and a Chutauqua He told us about the program for the coming year and explained the nature of each number. October 19 Some assembly!” Miss Aten put on the best and most successful program of the year She introduced to us Rev Butler of the First Methodist Church of Lancaster who rook for his scripture lesson the eleventh chapter of Hebrews; the Faith chapter. After this, several students appeared on the program. Irene Witham favored us with two piuno selections William Cowden. our famed orator, took for his subject. Hear and See Straight Muuricc Wheaton had his melodious voice well oiled for the occasion You Can't Fool Your Other Sell, was the subject ol Mabel Good's talk. !nrl Blumc. an ulumnus of |920. concluded the program with several violin selections. November 2 This meeting was opened with an invocation by Rev. O G. White of the Church of Christ. He was followed on the program by Rev W R Walker of the Indiunolu Church of Columbus, who gave a very interesting speech 1r Roberts of the Ohio State University was present and inspired the entire student body with his singing of the Marseillaise and various college songs I Its excellent voice and jovial ways won for him many encores. November 10 After the singing of the ' Marscilluisc by the entire school, Rev. John Williamson, of the St John s Episcopul Church, gave a very interesting talk on the recent Conference for Limitation of Armaments Rev. Williamson acquainted us with the reasons for this conference, and gave a brief outline of its purposes. He believes, from un English view-point, that the problem of China and Japan is the most serious which will be discussed at the conference, and that the Shantung question will be next in importance Mr Hickson made a most welcome vacation announcement Our cheer-leaders closed the program by entertaining us with their fantastic actions. November 23 After on introduction by Mr. Hickson. Rev. Sittler of the St Peter's Lutheran CJuirch interested the schtxjl with a splendid address on the timely subject of Thanksgiving Rev Sittler Mated that this year more than any Other we should be thankful, but that still there were among us many examples of ingratitude He also revealed the too often unknown fact that there arc but few students who. by- being in school, are not causing some one to sacrifice The singing of America concluded the pro- gram December 7 The program was opened by the singing of Onwurd, Christian Soldiers. which was followed with the invocation by Rev Holmes of the Presbyterian Church. Education, a very interesting subject, was discussed by Rev Holmes in such a manner that we were once more convinced of it being an absolute necessit v A trombone selection by Scott Beery added much to the program December 8 After the singing of America by the sch x)l. Mr. Hickson introduced Mr Russell Rising, who had just returned from un extensive tour of Europe with the American Legion '«cm- Fifty-three 1922 MIRAGE 1922 Mr. Rising gave us u very interesting narration of his many thrilling experiences and trips, while visiting the battle fields of Europe Since Mr Rising's speech had been about France it was fitting that the school joined in singing the '’Marseillaise. Judge Van A Snider was then welcomed with hearty applause. He delivered an interesting talk on C'-ompulsory Education Judge Snider said that he was proud to state that he has had only one High School student arraigned before him This special program was a rare treat. December 14 This Assembly was in the nature of a Boy Scout Rally After the devot ional pan of the program Scout Executive Dean M. Ward was introduced. Mr Ward gave a very instructive talk on Scout- ing. Mr. Phelps of Otterbein University was present and gave a talk on Education.

After the show everyone filled up on sandwiches and such, and departed happily for home. The evening came to an end all too soon. Everyone arrived safely home at 1 o’clock. It will long be remembered by those who went, because of the jolly good time everyone had The Chaperons were Miss Drinkle, Miss Amerine, and Mr. McClue. � ....

Junior Hallowe’en Party I he Junior Class of L H. S. held a very successful Hallowe’en Party in the Gym. October 31. 1922 The Gym was decorated in Hallowe en colors, and pumpkins and corn fodder. Hats off to the Juniors, for the Gym was never known to be so artistically decorated and the committee deserves much credit. The Juniors came masked and the first part of the evening was spent in trying to identify their classmates. A prize offered for the most unique costume was won by Charles Goslin. Later the EATS committee with the aid of Mrs. Bcnua served a two course luncheon Much of the success of the party was due to the efforts of the Social Commit- tee. The Class was honored in having with them the following Chaperons: Miss Aten. Miss Drinkle. Miss Balderson, Miss Huntwork.

Among these were five letter men from last year—Wolford, Pratt. Veldt. Pickering, and Althouser. These men formed the nucleus «bout which our team was built. Some very good material was formed thru the class games. The men worked very hard to get into shape before the first game and when the season opened we had a very good team JANUARY to East I ligh at Lancaster This game was a very good and fast garfle. Columbus had a strong team and our men had to do their best to beat them.

January 13. we met our old oppo- nents on the armory floor I hiring the week the nn n practiced hard and certainly gave a fine account of themselves against Circleville.

January 27. and defeated our boys 33-13. It is no disgrace for cxir team to lose to such a team as Cambridge had this year and our team deserved much credit for holding them as well us they did. Without a doubt Cambridge hud the strongest team that has played the Hi S. five for years FEBRUARY 3 Athens at l.ancaster Athens added another victory to her long list February 3 when she defatted us to the tune of 21-7 Creat spirit was shown by our visitors and bv cxir ow n school at this game T he armory was packed with spectators owing to the compet- itive ticket sales.

February 17. our fellows went to Springfield where they met defeat at the hands of the fast Springfield Hi S. team. I bey defeated us 38-1 Springfield got away with a big lead and our men could not overcome it This score would have been much larger had it not been for the stiff defense put up by Captuin Veidt and Turner. FEBRUARY 24 Athens Tournament This year we did not get very for in the Athens Tournament but were defeated by Glenford 12-11. Glenford is u small town and deserves much praise for the strong team that she turned out.

Referee—Pfeiffer of C.olumbus Commerce During the season of 1020-21 the Lancaster team won the Ohio University Tournament and four of the players who took part in this great victory were left for this season’s team. However it is ii rcgretable fact that three of these f xir chose to follow other lines of activity, other than athletics and were lost to this year s sound in mid season I� was too late to develop other players to take their places but even at that the remain- ing players made an excellent showing the rest of the season. Much credit is due these players for their loyalty to their school and team thru the entire season. The coming season will sec the return of Ravmond Strohl who has been chosen captain Harold Wilt. Joe Todhunter and Harry kcclcy who showed exceptional ability dunng the latter part of the season and also a large number of able under classmen whom wc hope will enter for basket ball next season It was with regret that we saw Myles Turner, Leon Wolford and Cap- tain Edward Veidt play their last gumc this year but wc hope they will render the same service and be as loyal to their college as they were to their High School.

S. lost four players from the girls' first team last year, but nevertheless they made a good showing. The team coached by J. T. McClure showed • exceptional ability on the floor both in passwork and shooting. The home games, played on the Armory floor, were always attended by large enthu- siastic crowds. Intense school spirit was manifested, a great number of tickets being sold in the High School for each game. Class competitive ticket sales were held, and a purple and gold banner inscribed with the numerals of the Class selling the most tickets was hung in the Armory on the nights of the games. The girls' baskcrhall team at present contains fine matcriul and next year should be veritably invincible. In all. nine games were played, of which five were victories and four defeats. A total of 113 points were scored, while their oppo- nents made 7.

The second game played was with our old enemy Circlevillc Our team did splendid work and won by a score of 12-4 The next game was with Washington. C H at Washington. There we came out upon the short end of a lb-10 score.

S. shows increas- ing interest in athletics not only in the boys branches but girls' as well In the spring of 1920. Mr Clements got permission of the Board of Education to hold n Field Meet. This one proved so successful thut it hus been made an annual affair. I-a si year eighteen events were open to High School boys, nine to High School girls, and ten to Grade School boys. All point winners were given ribbons, twelve dozen of them being awarded altogether Two gold medals were given, one to the boy having the hightes individ- ual score and one to the girl having the highest score. Silver loving cups were given to the girls class and to the boys' class totalling the highest number of points and a large cup was also pre- sented to the class having the largest number of points scored by both boys and girls.

E. Zartman. The most spectacular feature of the unnual meet was the crowning of the May Queen Much credit for its successfulncss was due Miss Ina Secov. our musical directress, who was in charge of this. Miss Elizabeth Hiaus, 21. was elected bv the school to Be crowned as May Queen. In advance of the royal procession rode two heralds.

We were unanimously victorious at Logan but we were not so successful at home Circlcville won by a 2 to 1 score and we were there- fore eliminated from the final championship debate. This was a very tedious although interesting subject for debate. The fact that it was so difficult made it very hard for those participating. Although not wholly victorious each debater has received some very valuable experience from the project. This kind of work is very beneficial and it is hoped that in the coming years greater interest will be invested in it. and that fortune will rest more favor- ably with the teams.

H. S. added another marvelous success to its already glorious career This success was in the form of the class play Stop Thief. The play itself had an interesting plot, was full of pep and the cast of characters was the very best that could be selected from among the Seniors. I he action takes place in the Carr residence and the play opens on the wed- ding day of James Cluney and Madge Carr The wedding presents were stolen and this caused the delay of the ceremony. The identity of the thief was con- fused. which led to the calling of the police. Many interesting, exciting and humorous incidents occur throughout the scenes. In the last scene the guilty persons are identified, the vauables restored, the police gotten rid of and just before the curtain falls there is a triple wedding. All the parts were filled exceptionally well and they all deserved the applause that was given them. The play was directed by Miss Aten, who should have the highest praise for her untiring efforts in making the play a success.

H. S. Auditorium January II and 12. This was a tremendous success and the auditorium was filled to a capacity both nights, owing to the fact that all four classes were represented. I he acton of the play took place in a Japanese tea-garden, where “Cherry Blossom, an American heiress lived as a Geisha girl, and daughter of the pro- prietor of the tea-garden Some American sight-seers went to the garden and among them was John Smith, who immediately fell in love with Cherry. Toga, a rich Japanese politician, was promised the hand of Cherry by her supposed Japanese father. Kokemo, and this introduced an interesting complication. Finally everything was told Cherry found that she was a rich heiress and an American, that Togo had left the country and she was free to marry her lover. 1 he cast was well chosen and was ably supported by the Boys' and Girls’ Chorus. The operetta was directed by Miss Secoy. the Supervisor of Music in the Schools, who deserved a great deal of credit.

The cast was well chosen and each indi- vidual is to be commended for his efforts. I he play opened in the Office of the Cinderella Shoe Factory. Here there was great excitement, for they were on the verge of bankruptcy, when into the factory walked Jimmy. Jimmy, with no identification or record, finally won the heart of John Trcllevan, the owner of the factory, and started upon his new' posi- tion as general manager. In a half hour's time he got all the poeple of the town to believe that the factory w-as prosperous and by this means prevented some of the stockholders from withdrawing their money. Jimmy was accused of having taken part in a robbery, was arrested, but nine days later he was proven innocent. The play closes with Jimmy having won back all his friends again. I he play was a great success and Miss Perfect, under whose direction the play was presented, deserves much credit.
