Krom the very first day of the school year he has made both instructors and pupils feel his presence. In the classroom he makes himself one of us. and ahvays helps us. In assembly his enthusi- astic support of all worthy endeavors is in- spirational. The whole school feels like push- ing whatever he heartily advocates. There is a new contagion of life in every part of the school work because Mr. Phillips has come. The entire community must recognize his worth increasingly, for he is a whole-souled Christian gentleman. iBtraiU' Principal DKAN M.

Those of the ancient, medieval and modern J__ times, perhaps we would class them as Tp those concerning Prehistory Man. Med- ieval Man. and Modern Man, but of all ___ these what history is more amusing, more interesting or more educational than the I Iistory of ’23? We would say amusing, for there are many amusing facts in our I Iistory. espe- cially what could be more provokative of laughter than to see Oscar Schneider and Neil ICisele assume the airs and graces of Seniors, when in truth all of us agree they look but Freshmen. Perhaps one would say that the History of '23 is far from educational, but we do believe it will prove a great benefit to the lower classmen, and as they follow in our noble steps they will have the oppor- tunity of profiting by our mistakes and our achievements. As for being interesting, just lend your ears, for never in all the facts of history, whatever they happened to be, whether those which record the valiant deeds of great men, the battles won. the gains and glories of those gone before, can these facts be greater as compared to the His- tory of the class of ’23. Were we like the prehistoric man, knowing little of life and its many mys- teries when we entered these great doors of knowledge and registered as just Fresh- men? As we look back into that space of time and remember quite vividly our wonders and amusements, as we viewed the many rooms, the strange people and heard those queer sounds. Many facts we could relate to you but since we were so very young and unable to retain the many details that accom- pany interesting facts, we will not endeav- or to recall them all. We do wish though to bring before you one of the most striking figures in our first year and one who helped us to cast tin molds for those perfect figures that you can now distinquish in the Senior Class, that person was none other than Miss Lacie I erfect. We had faint rumors that other ( lasses had accomplished things in their respec- tive years at L. II. S. but we decided one and all not to just rumor it but to do something that should be remembered by generations to come. The deed was done, we the class of 23 were the pioneers of the organization of the Freshmen class. Not satisfio I with this, we put our heads together, fur by now we were almost a year old, and so after much thought, we decided to change the old way of celebrat- ing the close of the Freshman year by a journey to that ancient resort, Crystal Springs, and instead to advance a step, and celebrate at Huckeye Lake. So the small and perhaps green Freshmen through the many trials and midst the storms of reproach gained for themselves and those to come, permission signed and seale 1 for those of the Freshman class to celebrate at Buckeye Lake. Sorry we were to find upon enrolling as Sophomores that a few bad enjoyed their Freshman year so much and had found such an attraction for Miss Perfect, that they decided to remain with her a while longer. The majority, though feeling that they were ready for the battles of a new year and using unusual judgment, choose some of their most worthy and famous class- men to lead them through this noted year. Trials and troubles were hot upon our trails, but not always were we in trouble, but the big lesson we soon learned was to smile and keep smiling in spite of what Caesar said or Geometry proved. They say that history repeats itself, but we endeavored not to be a repeater but to be an accomplisher. ;i4 1923 ffltrayr So as the c lass of ’23 in their Sophomore year, we staged a play and royally enter- tained one day our upper classmen. In spite of dramatics, socials, and good times, we endeavored to pain and absorb the knowledge that filled the many books we found daily within our reach. Along with knowledge which a few did master, there were others who excelled in the athletic activites; and as one glances at the long list of honored athletics of L. Id. S. you will see many from the class of ’23. these we are very proud of and feel sure that they deserve outstanding credit in the History of ’23. Tis said that Juniors are likened to grindstones, but we found our Junior year the jolliest and peppiest year in spite of unheard of lessons and unsmelled odors from the Chemistry Laboratory, all this and we found not one white haire 1 Junior. Alas, we find ourselves as grave and dignified Seniors. How things are chang- ed. in fact we feel quite different and can hardly believe we are in the same old school. We arc nearing the end of our High School voyage, and most of us expect to land safe on the shores of knowledge. Our Senior year, and how much we wish t do. the many and new books we must thoroughly absorb, the final touches we must add to our being molded characters. These, yes, all these we did accomplish and much more. How proud we were to see the class of 23 so well represente I in the Triangular Debate, the Varsity teams and the main- other activities of L. II. S. To crown our admiration of the repre- sentation of the class of '23. tin- Senior boys were presented with the inter-class championship, receiving the loving cup. As we obtained an earl start in tin presentation of class plays, we can indeed say that all the plays staged by '23 were highly commendable. I hrough different circumstances and forces of gravity, we lost some of our worthy classmates. A few felt the weighty substance of knowledge too great for them and just a very few were hit by cupid’s arrow. We were very sorry to lose one of our classmates who had journeyed with us these last four years, but we hope to meet her again some day and all rejoice to- gether with none amiss. Through our journey’s paths as we have struggle I onward this brave band of ’23. we have had the best class leaders and a most worthy advisor one whom we all love and respect. Miss Aten. As these closing lines of history bring to us the realization that soon we will leave these halls forever, we wish to say that perhaps many things in our History could have been greater and more com- plete, but we are not model people and such is not our History, but we offer it to you as one made by the truest and most loyal class of L. 11. S., the class of ’23. —Esther Hewetson Iflinuu' Everything was quiet. I was lying on -‘ tin- thing soft and white. Where was everybody and who was that whispering in the hall? clutched the covers tightly and listened. I recognized Dr. Dick's calm voice and he was saying. Yes. its the queerest pulse 1 ever felt. It skips a beat and then- ” Oh. Dr. Dick surely not a leaking heart. I heard mother say in a queer voice. Then my little curly haired brother inquired. Why Dr. Dick can't' you fix it like brother fixes his bicy- cle tire when it leaks? But some one quickly admonished him by saying. Sh—we musn't let her know. But they had forgotten to shut the door tight- ly and I heard every word. I opened my mouth to call to them, but not a sound came. I tried to get up. but found 1 couldn't move. So this was the way I was doomed to go. Oh! I thought. I'm not ready to die. I've got so many things to do yet. And to think that all those things I was going to do tomorrow and all the days after tomorrow would have to be left undone. The light seemed to be getting brighter and brighter and then I saw the most beautiful arch of rose, violet, green, blue and gold, soft glowing colors blended together into one glorious span which joined the earth and heavens. I knew that this must be the enchanted path which lends to that wonderland where all our desires and wishes are granted, and where there is no sorrow, a path which you call the rainbow. I had just started on my journey when a little Fairy Messenger met me and told me to hurry to their Fairy Queen who would grant all my wishes. After climbing for sometime we finally reached the summit of the rainbow and there the Queen and her attendants he’d court to dis- patch happiness to all those who found the path to wonderland. Hovering near the throne were Snowflake and Raindrop Fairies. Dewdrop Fair- ies and Sunbeam and Moonbeam Fairies ail anxi- ously waiting to hear what I should ask to he granted. I was enchanted by the sparkling beauty of Queen Iris who was indeed the brightest gloiy of Starland. and immediately told her that my dearest wish was to know what had become of nty class mates of L. H. S. She smiled know- ingly at her fairy helpers who made their way back and forth from Heaven on the rainbow, and I knew that she was prepared to grant my wish. With her wand made of stardust. Queen Iris waned me to a seat at the foot of her thron - and said. Now. my little wanderer, listen care- fully and do not interrupt while I tell you the story of your classmates of ’23. f.ucilc Brandt. Dorothy Pairan. Esther Clover and Helen Fullerton, having become expert stenographers at last, are rooming together in a cozy apartment in New York. But the stinnge thing about it is that they have a large placard above the door which reads in hold black letters NO MAN SHAM. CROSS THIS THRESHOLD and just last Sunday night my Moonheem Fairie saw Francis Regan. Frederick Hummel. John Whi’ev and Fritz Rutherford all climbing in the window. Several members of the class of '23 have starred in the movie world. Fat Young has tilled Fatty A� buckle's place immensely and Hubert Hudd'e has stepped into Wally Reid’s shoes and all the movie fans arc well satisfied with the exchange. Fritzie Kessler is out-vamp- ing Theda Bara and is now playing opposite Harold Boys tel. a carbon copy of Rudolph Valen- tino. the patent leather Rudolph having expired from divorcitis. Robert Gould is posing for the advertise- ments of the Arrow Collar Co., drawn hv John Jones, a rising young artist. Margaret Stein hofT. one of the prettiest girls who e' er attended Lancaster High, is a model for Coles Philips and her picture often appears on the leading maga- zine covers. Marie Hunter, Margaret Snyder anti Pauline Franklin ran away from home and are now enjoying the limelight of Broadway, having succeeded in joining the Follies. Bess Hattendorf is exciting much admiration by her beautiful singing anti her pleasing personality and is most ably accompanied by an equally elvrming classmate. Marie Smoot.” Oscar Schneider has reached the height � f his ambition for he has the only flock of trained fleas in captivity. He has taught them every- thing from adding, subtracting and multiplying to jumping rope and pulling taffy and is now exhibiting this phenomenon in side show of a circus. Just the other «lay he sued Merrill Heft for ten thousaml dollars for carrying off some of his most accomplished fleas hut it is though? that he will lost1 the case as Merrill has secured one of the best lawyers in the country to de- fend him. namely William Pickering. Charles (loslin has broken the world’s record for walk- ing around the world with the lesult f only sixty-seven and a half blisters on his right heel, and fifty-three on his left heel. Malcolm Crook is reflecting in jail for a period of thirty-thro and one third days, having landed there because of speeding in his Fo -d and a new law having been passed by our Ohio Legislature, whereby a speeder is required to stay iu jail one half th • number of miles per hour he is traveling, divid- ed into the number of his license tag and then multiplied by thirteen. Harold Lawrence has made wonderful pro- gress and is now President of Harvard. I was not surprise in the least because Harold was one of our fellows who developed both his brain and his brawn, when he attended Lancaster High. Frank Wolf is there also as a teacher of higher mathematics and my Sunbeam Fairies heaul Prof. Wolf very emphatically tell a class that he knew more when he was a Freshio at Lan- caster High than all of them put together, rima -----------------11123 oG i ifliraiu' Morris is teaching Greek and just revels in say- ing, “The lesson for tomorrow will be the next seventy-five lines of book fifty-nine. Robert Srhriner, owing to his fondness for the night air is teaching astronomy and is very strict with his pupils in regard to evading school rules as his motto is: I)o others as others have done you. We well remember old Skipper Bob of I.. H. S As the result of a boxing match between Harold Will and the Middleweight champion a Ohio. Knoch Morehead. Wilt i lying at Merer Hospital.

Esther Hewetson is sitting close by holding her hero’s hand and when he comes too, he calls for her and after one lingering look relapses into unconsciousness, dreaming of those two eves «if blue which come smiling through at him. With Arney Ileft, commonly known as Dr. Red. the attending physician and Marian llvle, as nurse. Harold’s recovery is very doubtful.” Jim Murtaugh. James Purse) I and Herbert Nester. the victorious all star trio f the Senior Class, have come to the rescue of the farmer and are touring the country as “The Throe Musk- eteers.” They husk more corn in a day than fifty farmers cOuld in a week. But don’t think that these fellows accomplish such marvels by their diligent efforts. Never!! Jim Murtaugh carries a new contrivance invented by James Pursell and financed by Herbert Nester. in hi- boat.” We are glad that all those numberless hours spent after school at the seventh period taught them co-operation if nothing e se. Otto Griffey is a well known physical culture director and has taken as his first and we hope not his last subject. Henry Cook. I know you will hr surprised to learn that Ralph Dupler, a country gentleman is surpassing all the French artists in designing fashionable cloths for the women. Just recently he caused quite a sensa- tion in Paris by creating a bewildering after- noon dress of bavin green crepe with a fascin- ating. nil over design in Persian orange and robin egg blue. This model is being exhibited in this country by Irene Castle. Allan White is tutoring the Chinese government officials on the inside workings of our congressional blocks and blockheads. Margaret Richardson and Jessie Robinson are prominent in a movement for the abolition of the term obey from the marriage ceremony. But they finally had to give this up as Margaret married a policeman and Jessie cap- tivated a traffic officer. I must not forget to tell you that Howard Highland is impersonating Little Eva in l n- clr Tom’s Cabin. You don’t need to look so surprised because Howard has really shrunk a great deal since his High School days. Harold Wilkinson and Roy Bolenbaugh, after all that diligent effort and time spent at L II. S are editor and assistant editor respectively of the “Whiz Bang . George Prentice i investigating such problems as What make the stars twinkle, and Who makes the moonshine? I can just picture George us the very personification of the Law. And I know you can hardly believe it but Ray Strohl is dissecting a rolling pin in an effort to improve it in the science of rolling dough hut absolutely useless in the art of obtaining dough you know. Apparently Helen Lacey had turned out more in accordance with the color of her hair than Ray ever dreamed she would. Not long ago a scene � cok place at The Lit- --------------------H123 tie Church Around the Corner which is the beginning of a story which always ends. They lived happily ever after. Scott Berry and Dor- othy Talbert. Herbert Turner and Florence Brown were the happy couples and the dignified parson who l:d the deed was James Cassell. The brides were charming in beautiful white lace gowns designed by Madam Lurn Lane and her assistant Ceri'e Dainhaugh of the Fashion, New Yu: k. Laura Schrrnk and Genevieve Miller made charming hrolernaids, wearing frocks of Mauve chiffon and large picture hats of silver lace, fashioned by Fnola Stabler. Lon lta Smith, ac- companied by Virginia Gilliam, sang two beauti- ful solos entit’ed Love Thou Art Mine and Oh Promise Me I'ntil the Next Time.” The two happy couples will spend several weeks of their honeymoon .it the largest hotel at Palm Bench, owned by Foster Smith and his wife formerly Irene Boerstler.” You probably would not recognize Mary Brooks. Della Fetters or June Whitely for thrv have organized a No Sweets Club” and are uist shadows of the jolly plump girls we knew of the Senior Class. I krow that you can ha dty be- lieve it. hut Sylvia Cush is causing quite a dis- turbance in Lancaster trying to get the people to see the necessity of buying license tags for all cats, gold fishes and canaries. Wonders never will erase for Evr'yu Darhv- shire is an old maid. I can’t imagine wluit could have happened all her early plans for a happy married life. It is rumored, however, that she is planning to visit the Fountain of Youth”, rediscovered by Lester McLaughlin, and start all over again. Now don’t tell anyone because its a secret but Jerome Miller is the “Dot'll e Dimples” of the Lancaster Eagle who gives advice to the love- lorn. He already excells Jane Hope and Cynthia Gre His last advice given to little demise Eleanor Wilson, was not to have anything to do with that handsome millionaire who was rush- ing her.” Helen Sleman and Irma Schneider, the Siam- ese Twins, are conducting a Wayside Inn on the road between Igincastcr and Suga - Grow and all the famous Senior hikers have a place of refuge when their primitive methods fail to produce the eats. Thelma Vrss. owing to her great love for children and her ability to control minors, is President of the Chicago Orphanage Institute and is setting a new precedence in disciplining orphans. Paul Strigle is writing a book on American Flappers and we wish he would soon tinish it for we are anxious to know what Paul’s views are on tip subject. Paul Shugert has been re-elected Senator from Ohio. Much ..f his suc- cess is due to the training he received as a Senior in Public Speaking at Lancaster High. Several of our girls have excelled in the busi- ness world. I know that you will be glad to learn that Stella Pettycourt is ahe t.. take dicta- tor� in shorthand as fast as Duane Wood, a well known dentist, can talk This comes in very handy when Dr. Wo ml makes out his hills for he does not even have to stop working but just rattles them off t Stella. Edna Kutig is greatly to be commended, as she has broken all records for speed in typewriting. She is now employed at Washington as an expert typist in government jjrci k. Dorothy Hughes has written a book on The Evils of American Slang” which is being used in the Public Schools to a great advantage :i7 ifliraitr Dorothy was one of the few girls who did not use slang when she attended school. Dollie White is playing in several concerts which you will have the pleasure to hear very soon on the radio. I was shocked to find that Kdna Frit , is a tight rope walker in a circus, hut that luckily she has been persuaded to take out a large life insurance policy of Kdna Ricketts. Marian Pfeif- fer is a candidate for Mayor of Lancaster. Ohio. We hope that she will be elected and that she will continue to be successful in her political Ifie. No doubt you will be surprised to know that Roberta Konkler is fostering a movement which will make it a capital offense in the fu- ture to wring chickens necks. Sin? advocates that they he chloroformed, thus preventing them from any undue suffering. A new beauty parlor has been opened on Broadway. New York, to which the women are flocking by the hundreds to try a new marcel wave which is inflicted absolutely painless and changes the whole appearance in twenty-nine minutes. Mary Thomas is the proud owner of this shop and is making quite a fortune at trans- forming women’s crowning glory. Evelyn Wallace has distinguished herself for bravery as she is the only woman steeple jack in the country. She is known the world ove as the human spider and her last hair-raising feat was the polishing the Statue of Liberty’s nose in a snow storm. Blanche Shinkle has broken the world's speed record in swimming across th - English Channel. She has been awarded several medals for her swimming by the King of Eng- land. Our own Kathleen Creaglow has the honor of being chosen Miss Columbus , the prettiest girl in the state. She will soon go to Atlantic City to compete with a large number of other beautiful girls for the title of Miss America . We wish lier all the success in the world. Several years ago Joseph Sittler graduated from Wittenberg and is now editor of the “New Yok Times . I was not surprised at all because Joe was the best editor we ever had for our Lancaster High School Mirage . He has never broken his vows of that famous Bachelor Club of the Senior Class or changed his political party- hut he has several of his classmates in his em- ploy-; Dorothy Ruff is a very competent private secretary and Verna Zimmerman and Eva Silver arc expert stenographers. Numbered among the many reporters are Hugh Spiro and Paul King, both members of the class of '23. Rudd Mark- wood has succeeded Dudley Fisher as cartoon- ist and is using his two classmates as subjects, namely Mervin Guyton and Neil Eiseje as Mutt and Jeff. Francis Caldwell and Alice Grove have agreed to disagree and Francis has returned to his first love of the Sophomore class. Enough said. Alice is teaching Public Speak ;ng at Lan- caster High since the fates have decreed that her illustrious career shall not be intoriupted l y matrimonial ties. Now she has her pupils give reports from the “American Magazine about Joseph A. Sittler instead of Edgar A. Guest . Last hut not least our class advisor. Miss Adale Aten, has grown old sweetly and is still living across from the High School near the work she loves. We can never forget Miss Aten for she was a teacher whose wonderful personality and character will live with us always. We not only learned Public Speaking, or English in her classes, but we learned to love, honor and re- spect those greater ami broader things which figure so largely in our school life and which are so often neglected. Miss Aten was worthy of the classification which places our teachers next in rank to our parents and preachers in forming and guiding our early impressions which are so vital in the process of our succeeding or failing in life after we leave school forever. She was a teacher who scarcely had a joy she could not share. We can never forget our pleasure and delight in sharing her joys. Whether it was some of the beautiful flowers which she loved and brought to school with her. or some memory gem to take away with us in addition to the reg- ular lesson. Her cheery ’good morning' and ready smile together with her word of praise, where it was deserved, made our school work a pleasure when often it would have been the same tiresome routine. A still small voice told me that I was not go- ing to reach the end of the rainbow this time but I was glad that I had had the opportunity to hear about my school friends once more. Dr. Dick will never know what made my heart act so queerly but I’ll tell you, it was the thought of writing this Prophesy about my classmates of good old L. II. S. —Frances Acton -1923 38 As surely as spring follows winter, so does man have sometime to take leave from his friends. It may be in the ordin- ary routine of business life, or that he has to respond to the inevitable call. When he does, he leaves his acquisitions to his friends, and others whom he may help, whether or not these acquisitions be of a material or spiritual nature. So it is with the Senior Class of HJ23. During our stay of four years ( r more) at Lancaster High we have set a pace and standard for the underclassmen to look up to, and duplicate if possible. So now as a class, we the Seniors of 1923, upon leaving the sacre I precincts of Lancaster High School, and being of sound mind and body, and of generous disposition, wish to leave, bequeath and forfeit to our worthy schoolmates our high standards of scholarship, our love for the Old School, and all it stands for. the athletic ability of the graduating Seniors, some ornamental monstrosities in the school buildings, and all other arts and graces. (Article I.) To the Freshmen, we be- queath the Non-Stop Buzzer System, which upon buzzing, reduces the teachers and pupils t«� a paralytic condition. V hope that in the remaining three years they (the Freshmen) who grace these Halls of Learning will have placed it un- der control and will have reduced it to a state of periodicity. Along with this we extend our heartiest sympathy and good wishes, but doubt their ability to accom- plish it. )Art. 2.) To any one wearing patent- leather hair and claiming to be Sheik of the Sophomore class, we bequeath and sur- ---------------1923-------------------- render all prior rights to. the Sky Blue Silk Velveteen Corduroy trousers of Ar- ney Heft and “Auto” C.iffey. (Note. These Corduroys are of the whistling variety). (Art. 3.) To any one wishing to claim it. we forfeit all right and claim to the filibustering and wind-jamming ability of our one and only Howard Highland. (For any one wishing to verify Mr. Highland's claim to this distinction, we refer them to Mr. Neff). (Art. 4.) To our successors, the Juniors, we bequeath the debating ability of Jos- eph Sittler. the dramatic ability of James Cassell, the pugilistic tendencies of Prof. Johnson, the basketball ability of the fac- ulty and the burlesquing proclivities of Supt. Phillips. (Art. 5.) To the All American Junk Co. we relegate Lancaster High’s ornamental monstrosities. Fourteen intercommunicat- ing telephones, and one 1,000,000 volt static machine, of the White Flephant variety. To the same company we cheer- fully give our imperfect heating system, which rentiers “The Boiler Foun Iry Blues” at inopportune moments. To Mrs. Vorys we give the privilege to add another ruffle to our ancient stage curtains, so as to lengthen them. (Art. ( .) To Orval Smith we leave Harold Wilt’s slick hair and irresistible appeal to the fairer sex. (Art. 7.) To Mr. Wiseman and Mr. White, our efficient and good matured janitors, we will “all” our patience, which they will need, to take care of the Juniors on play practice and basket ball nights. (Art. 8.) To the Juniors we give all rights to dispose of the fruit of the “Pair ''---------------ffl inmr----------------- Tiro”, the proceeds from the sale of said fruit to be used for upkeep of old maids home. Also we do bequeath our slip-shod, sway back and careworn ponies, which have been very serviceable to us in those four years of struggle towards our goal. (Art. 9.) We hereby set aside a sum of money, extracted from the last Senior play, to purchase for the Faculty Basket Ball team, gold basket balls, and silk -je trunks and jerseys with which to adorn r their figures. (Art. 10.) To Miss Vlereborne. whose friendship we cherish, we cheerfully sur- render $3.m to be used by her in purchas- ing a handsome leatherette album, to be used for a resting place for the likenesses of her Uomoos. We will, bequeath and forever surren- der our hearts, hands, and good wishes to the Faculty, the School Athletics and our superlative Girls’ Basketball Team. We hereby nominate and appoint the Board of Kducation as executors of our last will and testament. In testimony whereof the Senior Class of 2d does here- unto set their hand this day of May. lid.

Nevertheless we cannot let the opportunity to say at least a word or two pass us by, although in what we say we shall praise ourselves but little and suppress many incidents reflecting honor and praise upon the class of ’25. In spite of the most earnest efforts of the faculty, most of us are still in school. Our social activities have been limited, the only two deserving mention being the Valen- tine and Theatre parties.

This year we Presides were doubly un- fortunate. In the first place, we were Freshmen, which is bad enough, and in the second place, we were the first class to enter L. II. S. under the new form of government, instituted by Mr. Phillips. Freshmen generally do get mixed up the first few days, but under the new form, we didn't know whether we were coming or going, hut blindly pushed ahead to some unknown destination. However, after about six months of humble obedience to Seniors and other great people of importance, we obtained a little worldly wisdom and had our class meeting. Of course, being mere infants just out of our cradles, we had to have some assistance from the Faculty and if Miss Lawrence had not been kind enough to be our class advisor, we don’t know ex- actly what would have happened to us. After a good deal of indecision, we fin- ally agreed to meet on March 13, and the following officers were elected: President-------------------------Charles Behrens V ice-President------Anna Louise Harbison Secretary-----------Mary Jane Wiseman (We did not feel the need of a Treasurer). When the basketball season started, we Freshies showed our mettle, and won all but one game. We hated to defeat the Seniors, who were so kind as to impart some of their knowledge of great things to us, hut we can not help it if they are unable to apply some of their wisdom to the great art of playing basketball. Per- haps some day we may give them a few points if they will take advise from mere Freshies. We have been told that we are the worst Freshman class that ever entered L. II. S. hut we don't believe it, so we are going to struggle on to our Sophomore year and reign over the on-coming generation of Freshies. Mary Jane Wiseman '2b Freshman Class C’reaglow, Charles C lair.

It is per- fectly justifiable that we should feel a spe- cial pride in the teams which had the hon- or of upholding the tradition of their Alma Mater. There is not the slightest doubt but that the work of the pupils chosen to participate in the debates, cre- ated a favorable impression upon the en- tire student body. Without any thought or desire of tie- trading from the honor of the teams, it might be well to say a few words to show our appreciation of the work done by the debating coaches. They, without any thought of compensation, other than that of serving their school, agree I to assume this ad !cd responsibility, which meant hours of hard stu ?v in addition to their regular work, with this thought upper- most in their minds. “L. II. S. second to none”. Although handicappe 1 both by the lack of time and material, pertaining to the question, they were able to develop teams that would reflect honor and credit upon any institution. The work was done in a very commend- able manner, and no doubt will prove to be an experience of incomparable value to those taking part. It is that devotion to the things which pertain to highest in- terests of the pupils that will cause their work to stand out with singular appro- priateness. 1U23 —ffliragr------- BUZZ!! BUZZ!! BUZZ!! Lancaster High School has a buzzer sys- tem. Yes, it is a most wonderful system. It has a mind of its own. It's melodious and odious outbursts are largely uncon- trolled and uncontrollable. We like our system. In fact, we don't think that there is another High School in the U. S. A. that has a system just like ours. We hope not. There may be other systems which are most etVicient. but we feel safe in saying that there is no other buzzing system on the face of the globe which is more persistent. The accuracy of our buzzers is almost uncanny. Their endurance is remarkable. The marvelous technique of attack and release, the delicate tone shading, and the total absence of harshness is truly to be commended upon. We wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Hickson and Mr. Erick upon their splendid electrical work which has been so valuable in developing our buzzers to their present lofty stage of ac- curacy. —J. S. ’23 THE BAND UNIFORMS When our band marches by we often hear visitors say, “Wonder how that school can afford to buy uniforms for it’s band. Not many high school bands have unif nns”. Well, here’s the secret. Not many schools are as fortunate in having one hundred percent loyal mothers to support it as we are. One afternoon soon after the band had become fully organized. Mrs. i. L. Clover and about twenty other mothers of band members reported at the High School and began making tin- uniforms. They worked diligently and by evening there was a uni- form for every member of the band, in- cluding “Tubby” Young. The next after- noon these mothers laid down their house work and again came to the school. This time they pressed the uniforms, and add- ed certain little touches which have suc- ceeded in making our band the most op- tical Iv pleasing in the state. J. S.

The Association has existed for some time in the high school but has been in the dormant stage. This year we elected a complete list of officers and dir- ectors and established a Board of Control. A new constitution and by-laws has been drawn up and adopted by the Board of Control and put into effect this year. Several mass meetings were called by the Athletic Association at the beginning of school last fall in order to develop a system of cheering and rooting at our games. John Whiley ’23, was elected head cheer leader and he has kept the colors flying at all times during the year. Mary Mar- garet Lehew ’25 was elected as his assist- ant and she always had the rooters on the job. The cheer leaders are to be com- mended on the way they carried on their •work this year and the way in which they received the support of the student body in their yells anti songs at the games. A number of new school songs and yells were used this year and this added qual- ity to the “pep” of the school. The purpose of the Athletic Association is to instill the spirit of athletics into the school and to aid in the promotion of ath- letics in general. The members of the as- sociation are those who are the holders of a season ticket in either of the major sports. This year under our new system of athletics we have a membership of 310 and the greater percent of this number are underclassmen. One of the aims of the Association is to get the incoming Fresh- man Class interested in the Athletic As- sociation and in that way build up a spirit within our school that will endure for time to come. By means of the Board of Control we are able to take up questions that may arise from the student body or outside of school pertaining to athletics, such as eli- gibility, training rules, awarding of sweat- ers. letters, trophies, etc. With four mem- bers of this Board elected from the stu- dent body and four members from the fac- ulty, such decisions as handed down by the Board have been approved by the en- tire school system. Our first year under the newly formed association has been highly successful. At the beginning of the school year we wen- in debt quite a large sum of money and beside the purchase of necessary equip- ment for the football season, we have ------------------1923---------------- 58 ■ iHUraiiP been able to pay ofT all outstanding debts and purchase new basketball equipment for both the boys and girls varsity. This is the only season in the history of the High School that football has paid for it- self and placed money in the treasury. In our Alumni football game alone this year, the gate receipts amounted to more than all the money from gate receipts during the entire season of the year 1916. Our athletic equipment is more com- plete at the present time than at any oth- er time in the history of the school.' We are able to fully equip three teams in foot- ball and two boys and two girls teams in basketball. Also we are carrying com- plete equipment in field and track and «•lass baseball for both tin boys and girls The Athletic Association has also equip- ped the (.T ) members of the High School Hand in uniforms this year and purchased several instruments for their use. The Hand has helped to a great extent in our athletics this year by their musical num- bers and good attendance at parades and games. The Association commends tin4 Hand on its good work during the year and the interest they have taken and for “pep” and “tight” they put into the hearts of those on the field and court. The Central Ohio League which in- cludes tin- following High Schools of the Central District: Mt. Vernon, Coshocton. Westerville, Newark and Lancaster, was formed this year. These teams will form the main part of our football and basket- ball schedules, beginning next year with our basketball season. This league, how- ever. does not prevent us from playing outside of our membership. When the doc rs open next September and the calls for football are heard, the Lancaster High School expects to be the proud possessor of a New Athletic Field. I lie Athletic Association has already con- tributed to this noteworthy cause and she expects to go the limit in cooperation with the Hoard of Education. Work has already started and the ground is broken .—L at the North School for the gridiron. The TT ground will be placed in shape early in order that a good coating of grass will be I—p on the field next fall. When our schedule opens next fall we hope to see tin Purple and Gold Hying, and the bleachers filled to overflowing, within our new Athletic Field. The Association is doing its part and likewise the Hoard of Education and City of Lancaster to complete the new field this year and we appeal to you. the boys and girls, of the city who are of school age, to do all in your part toward this pro- ject since you are the ones vitally con- cerned and will receive the greatest bene- fit therefrom.

The debate was exceptionally good and we felt very proud of our speakers. Lura Lane. James Cassell and Robert Gould. Also we want to mention their helper and alternate Alice Groves. Our team showed some fine spirit, ex- ceptional ability, and they surely deserved to win this debate. Quite a few students accompanied the debators and for some personal information just inquire of Miss Aten and Mr. Neff what a good time every one ha l. Our Affirmative team met their oppon- ents, the negative team from Washington C. II. High School in a rousing debate m our own High Sc hool auditorium. Although the outcome. 2 to 1, was not in our favor, we are proud of our team, who exerted every effort in preparation. We appreciate the splendid wok and the time these speakers spent for the old school. The opposing team was compelled to fight hard for victory, which made the debate interesting and enjoyable to all who were present. Silence reigned and hearts beat furious- ly during the long moments of suspense that the Presiding Officer, Judge Brooks Shell, held the audience before pronounc- ing the decision of the last judge. The speakers of the team were as fol- lows: Joseph Sittler, Frances Acton, Brooks Maccracken, Wilber Stammler, al- ternate, and their very helpful and cap- able coach, Mrs. Pickering. hi ifiiraqp ■ 1923 fHirayp Literary Society � I lie Literary Society of Lancaster High School, organized in 1914, has passed through another successful year.

Our “new JL coach” appeared on the scene and gave us IT a splendid talk on athletics. Every one decided immediately to go out for athlet- -i— ics and many sighs from the girls because they couldn’t play football. Another surprise and we are introduced to our “New Superintendent”. Mr. Phil- lips. We all felt like giving him the glad hand and indeed he deserved it for we liked him from the moment he said, Hoys and Girls”. He gave a splendid talk on athletics and the support the student body should give them. Mr. Hickson explained the new idea of the season tickets and instructed us how to spend a dollar. A few yells followed, led by our new cheer leader, John Whiley. October 2, 1922 Rah! Rah! Lancaster! Veil, yell and we did, it was our first game and we needed to yell. The coach gave us another snappy talk and Supt. Phillips expressed his opinion of the L. H. S. squad, which was very favorable. A few of the less bashful players made a speech but just a few. October 30, 1922 Mr. Phillips lead chapel and he had the student body to sing “America” then he read as a scripture text Genesis b-l. fol- lowed by prayer. Mr. Phillips gave a very good talk on “What you Sow you Reap”. The Lecture Course schedule was then announced by Mr. Hickson. November 3, 1922 Team Rah! Team Rah! Yes, a new team, a new spirit, a new band leader, in fact a great reform by Our Coach and we now have a team that is ■worthy t wear the purple and gold. Wilt rah! for Wilt is our new captain and you should have heard him make a speech. We surely do present him the flowers for he handed us a surprise and gave us a first-class speech. Another player that is new among our midst this year. Bob Gould. He gave our thoughts in voice for we agreed perfectly with his sentiments on the new captain, the new spirit and the new light. Hooray Coach, and we are learning he is some coach. I le told us how from now on we were going to have real players on the L. H. S. 'feam. November 16, 1922 Bob Radebaugh one of the Alumni of L. H. S. gave a speech on “Pep”. He com- pared the spirit in olden days with the spirit of today and he expressed a desire to be a young fellow again in L. II. S. Some of our faculty gave talks on “Spir- it” and Pep”. I r. Floyd and Dr. Cole- man were with us and gave some splendid talks. November 29, 1922 Something different. L. H. S. adjourned early and the student body headed by L. H. S. band marched to tin City Auditor- ium and held a Thanksgiving program.

Mr. Diamond is Scottish and a very good orator. He concluded his talk by singing for us some Scottish songs. April 16, 1923 Assemble again. Coach told us about our Field Day Carnival and every one all day was expressing how far they could jump or run. He informed us that a May Oueen would he chosen from the Senior Class. Perhaps he hopes Oscar Schneider will wear the crown. He seems to be a favorite of Coach's. 1923-------------- 73 Uliragp Junior Hallowe’en Party About fifty Juniors assembled at the J__ home of Helen Kent to celebrate Hallow- -jr e’en. Attractive decorations were visible everywhere and at about the hour of scv- 1 en. witches, hobgoblins and «hosts began to invade the house. Shrieks of mirth were heard by the passersby as the masks were removed. Appropriate frames were enjoyed. At about ten o’clock delicious refreshments were served and sometime later the spirits of Hallowe’en fled to their own abodes. The Juniors enjoyed the presence of Miss Portner and Mr. Nixon accomp- anied by his small daughter Jean, whom we all declare bears a marked resem- blance to him. Sophomore Spread One of the most successful parties of the year was the spread given by the members of the Class of 1925 on the sec- ond of Xevent her, in the High School Gym, which was beautifully decorated in the class colors, green and white. Games and contests furnished entertainment and much class spirit was shown at all times. A delicious two-course luncheon was then served after which the delighted evening came to an end all too soon. The chaperons and guests on this occa- sion were Snpt. and Mrs. Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. 1). M. Hickson, Miss Portlier, Miss Perfect. Miss Soule. Miss Vlerebome and Mr. Marquis. Senior Hallowe’en Party The Seniors of L. H. S. held a Hallow- e’en Party in the gym. Friday. November 3. The Gym was decorated with black ami gold streamers, a huge shock of corn, and all that is in keeping with that “spooky season’’. After the grand march a prize was given Mr. Paul Shugert for being the best masked. Later in the eve- ning Joe Piley. as winner in a contest, re- ceived a lollypop. At a seasonable hour delicious refresh- ments were served to about seventy. How- ard Highland, Joe Sittler and Harold Wilt secreted themselves in the furnace room while eating their lunch. Perhaps they did this to be near the serving room, or without a doubt, to keep from the knowl- edge of the public the vast ness of their appetite. An interesting episode of the latter part of the evening, featured Spider Justus. Foster Smith and Harold Wilkinson as dishwashers. The guests were Mr. Phillips. Miss Port- lier. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Aten and Miss Aten, ('lass Advisor. Football Banquet The annual football banquet was held on December 22. in the Lancaster High School Gym. Members of the football squad, the band boys, their parents, the Board of Kducation. and the High School Faculty, numbering in all about two hun- dred attended the banquet prepared and served under the direction of mothers of the football players and band boys. Spe- cial interest in arranging for tin feast was manifested by Mrs. G. X. Clover and Mrs. C. L. King. 1 )r. Lee O'Grady, president of the Board of Kducation acting as toastmaster, intro- duced the various speakers following the banquet. Supt. Phillips, first on the pro- gram. spoke on the subject of “School Athletics”, and Judge Shell on the “Neces- sity of Physical Direction”. Capt. Harry Kchard of the champion Hast School football team spoke on Grade School Athletics”. Faculty Manager H. K. Marquis devoted several minutes to explaining the method of scheduling games. Harold Wilt, captain of the 1922 foot- ball team presented season’s record and briefly reviewed each game while Capt.- elect Slough asserted that the same fight- ing spirit that characterized the action of this year’s squad would lx prevalent in next year’s team. l ro| John ixon talked about the new spirit of the Lancaster High School. On behalf of the Board of Education, Ralph Wolfe congratulated the Athletic Association, and High School Faculty for the success of its program, and at the same time gave assuranc e of the board’s hearty co-operation in the plans for phy- sical education. Preceding the banquet a splendid pro- gram was offere I by the High School band under the capable leadership of Scott Ber- ry- Science Club Spread ()n St. alentine's evening the members of the Science Club enjoyed a spread at L. II. S. Manv games and contets furn- ishe.l pastime for the evening. Red hearts, broken hearts, candy hearts and cupitis were used effectively as decorations. A delicious lunch was served to the members and guests, Mr. Neff and Mr. Al- spacli. Thrills! Eh, Joe? During the grand march through the darkened rooms and halls, many seemed to be struck by Cupid. Isn’t it strange how Cupid can see to work in the dark? The success of the evening is due to the efforts of both the social and “eats” com- mittees. Sophomore Theatre Party On Wednesday evening, Februarv 21, about forty-live members of the Soph- omore Class enjoyed a theatre party at the Lyric Theatre when they witnessed George Arliss in “The Man Who Placed Cod.” At the conclusion of the sh nv they were served a delicious luncheon at An- till’s after which the merry crowd dis- banded. The chaperons were the Class Advisor. Miss Portlier, and Miss McCoy who both helped to make it an occasion long to be remembered. Latin Club Spread On Monday, March 26, all the Juniors and Seniors still managing to ride their Latin Ponies, that is all tin Latin Club members, held a spread at Lancaster High. ---------------1923--------------------- -----------------ffliraijr----------------- Members on the program were Frances Acton, Alice Groves and James Murtaugh. Many interesting games and contests were played, Margaret Cullen receiving the prize. A great deal of entertainment was afforded ail. and «after delicious refresh- ments wore served, the members departed happily for their homes. I his club is progressing under the able direction of Miss Waters who also attend- ed the spread. Freshman Partv I he I-reshman class had its first party x on hriflay, April 13. The gym was at tractivelv decorate 1 with tin school col- ors. pie pie and gold. Although the event took place on Friday thirteenth, nothing marred the evening and many interesting games were played. About nine o’clock de'«nous refreshments were served. I he guests of the class were Miss Law- rence and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. The Junior Spread The members of the Junior Class as- semble I in the High School gym, April twentieth, for an evening’s frolic . One of the pleasant diversions was “The Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse”. or in other words a Kiddy Kar race. The par- ticipants in this affair were Glen ford Ball- mer. Orval Stuckey. Paul White and I h� mas I nks, Glenford Ballmer being the winner. Another game was testing the ability of the class members and chaperons by drawing rectangles while looking in a mirror. It was decided that there was a tie between Miss Aten and Mr. Phillips, each having done excellent work. A very pretty feature of the evening’s program was the presentation of the class pin to Mr. Nixon who afterwards made an appropriate speech. In honor of the approaching field meet, an initiation was held in the gym. The rival teams, the Blue and Orange had for their captains Mr. Phillips and Mr. Nixon. In the following contest, the Blues were victorious and a silver cup was presented to Mr. Phillips by Mr. Nixon, this cere- mony being the farewell. The class enjoyed the presence of Mr and Mrs. Phillips. Miss Aten and Mr. Nix on as chaperons. ffliraijr irautaiira The Senior Play w “COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN” The remarkable dramatic ability of the Senior Class was shown in the presenta- tion of the play, “Come Out of the Kitch- en” on the nights of December 14th and loth. This great success was due to Miss Aten who chose the ‘right person for the right part and to the diligent efforts that were shown hv the director and each member of the cast. In addition to the interesting plot a number of humorous incidents occurred throughout the acts. An unusual and very delightful feature was to see Jimmy Cas- sell wash dishes and break them to his heart’s content. Hem we envied him! Miss Portlier, also proved her efficiency in directing the play and on the whole we vote it as one of the best ever given at L. H. S.

Thus far the Junior Class has proved very efficient in most undertakings, so we do not marvel at the success of this play. Among the talent that was displayed, mentioned might be made to Lois Shaw, who sang very sweetly, and to I)enzil Big- ham, who portrayed his part with excep- tional skill, bringing great laughter and amusement to the audience.

IT We are indebted for both, to a very great extent to Supt. Phillips. At the begin- T ning of the year, instead of facing the same routine as before, that is, seven, forty-five minute periods each day with the following day and every day there- after the same, we found an entirely new procedure. Now there are seven sections, lettered alphabetically. The sections go to class four times each week for a one hour per- iod each time. The hour is divided, ac- cording to the recitation, between recita- tion and supervised study. This permits the teacher to help those who need it and provides a quiet place for all to study, thus partially eliminating one of the greatest hindrances of our High School. Owing to an overcrowded condition, pu- pils are forced to study in a room where a recitation is being conducted. When we first learned that we would have a new superintendent for the ’22-’2d school year we were in fear as to the cali- ber of the man who would fill this import- ant position. We knew that the making or breaking of the school depended on his ability, or lac k of it. All doubt was dis- spelled from our minds after the first month when we saw the old school spirit booming as never before. Classroom work was coming to a higher standard and ath- letics were more than paying for them- selves and recruiting more supporters every week. Superintendent J. J. Phillips, we welcome you into our midst, and hope to see you among us for many years t« come. Athletics are an important part of any school. Lancaster has, up to this time, just barely held her head above the water. One year she will have teams which will win a few games, the next year perhaps a few more and occasionally a season will pass, in which she did not win a game. This has been due, to a great extent, to tin lack of expert development and en- couragement in tin lower grades from which our material must, of necessity come. flu School Board made a long stride toward solving this problem when they hired Fred B. Wallace as coach and Physical Director of the Lancaster Public- Schools. He has shown himself capable not only of coaching athletic teams through successful seasons, but also of di- recting the physical welfare of every school child in the city. With him in e-barge we expect to see not only a better standing in athletics for the High School, but an improvement in the general health of the entire community. Physics and Chemistry are probably the most difficult subjects in the high school course to teach. They require more of the student’s time and consequently are disliked by the majority of those who are forced to take them. We have been very fortunate in tilling the places left vacant by Messrs. Potts and Zartman of last year’s faculty with men of the type which Mr. Nell and Mr. Alspach have proven themselves to be. They have succeeded in making these always difficult subjects into enlightening and interesting studies. In addition to his work as instructor, Mr. Nell has found time to help out with selling of tickets at the different athletic contests. This proves him to be a con- sistent booster of the old school. 80 1923 The freshmen are a little difficult to handle at times owing to their youth and a natural desire for a little fun, hut our new General Science teacher, Mr. Paul Johnson, has worked out a plan of his own. which seems to lx getting very good results. We were delighted to see upon return- ing to school that we were to have with us. Miss Portlier, a teacher who is loved hy all. As the days roll by we are aware more and more of her contributions to L. H. S. She has taken over the supervision of some of the activities of school and has proven her ability by tin way these things are conducted. We appreciate her inter- est in our activities and hope that she will remain on our faculty. ------------------fflirmip---------------ii •• regretted very much to see Monsieur Paul take one of our beloved teachers. Miss Amerine, from us. Hut though we lose a good teacher, we are always sup- plied with one who proves equally as good. Miss Waters has taken up her work w i'll the Latin p pi Is and they have found that they have indeed a learned instruc- tor. Surely knowledge and kindness must be relatives for we find both in her. She is very young and sweet. And at the door she greets— Kacli one in a kindly tone. Who? Just guess! “Miss Vlerebome”. I his expresses our feelings and we need say no more. (Signed) STTDKXT HODV 1923 81 fHirayr PHYSICAL EDUCATION F. B. Wallace. Athletic Director It has only been since the world war that twenty-nine states of this federated union, including our Buckeye State, have turned to the physical conservation of the children of its schools. The World War taught its many lessons and opened the eyes of many nations in- cluding our own. The first surprise of that war came when the act of conscrip- tion was put into operation and the young men between 21 and 21 were called to the colors. They presented themselves to their local boards all over the country for ad- mission to the army and navy and one- third of them were rejected, and rejected at an hour of need, rejected for one reason only. The reason was that they were not physically lit to serve their country in the hour of need. Sixty-three per cent only passed into the training camps of the na- tion and carried with them such a mass of minor physical defects that one-half of the doctors of the country had to follow to fix them up. Does this not portray a situation that ought to give every Amer- ican citizen a cause of deep concern? How long could you conduct a business or in- dustry with one-third of your men physi- cally unfit to respond to duty? How long can your republic continue in the keen competition with other nations with one- third of its men and one-third of its wom- en physically unfit to perform the office of war or of peace? This great necessity is what led Presi- dent Eliott of Harvard University to say. “The most important educational problem before the people of America today is uni- versal physical education. A strong body is a willing servant and a weak body is a cruel tyrant. It weighs itself upon the time and attention of the person who owns it and likewise to those who have to live with it. Twelve percent of the mortality among school children of America is in the months of March and ten per cent, in the month of February. The very period when the classes ought to be running at high tension they break down because of ab- sentees on account of sickness. During the month of January in our public schools of this city our absentee list hov- ered around 200 daily due to an epidemic of influenza—but soon adjusted itself to normal without closing the schools. Fifty- five per cent of the students of our schools were underweight during that period but in two months time they had lowered that figure to twenty-five per cent within nor- mal. There is a crving need for the physical development of our bovs and girls. Only ten per cent of the total school population of America’s-School children get any phy- sical care or culture. Sweden passed 88 per cent, of her boys into her army phy- sically Iit. We passed 03 per cent, a much lower figure. Isn’t this a very important question to every bov and girl and moth- ers and fathers of this community? Our Plan of Physical Education Our plan of physical education in the public schools � f this citv is to bring ev- ery boy and girl into some form of daily exercises, whether in games, play or calis- thentic drill. Starting in the first and sec- ond graces, these youngsters are taught the physical culture in form of systematic games which daily exerc ise their bodies in the proper way of physical develop- ment. These games also furnish these little tots with a period of recreation and relaxation which they hardly realize is for their future development. From the third grade up through the eighth grade calisthentic drill is a part of the daily program. The first ten minutes of each day all students throughout the entire school system go through daily doz- en. Careful watch is kept over each stud- ent to correct physical defects in posture and suitable exercises are given to cor- rect these defects. Weighing Table Genuine Continental Scales have been installed in every school building and each boy and girl is weighed once a month and a chart carefully kept, show- ing the height, chest measure, correct weight, underweight and over-weight of each student. Special classes of neutri- tion have been organized for building up the underweight children of this commun- ity which has dropped from .Ti per cent, to .30 per cent, since January. Special lec- tures are given on diet, which the students follow daily for the improvement of their particular case. A monthly report from each school is submitted to the physical director showing the [luxation of weights of each unit of the school system. Boor ----------------------1923------------- 82 home conditions are investigated and carefully analyzed and medical attention is rendered by the city clinic. Interclass and Varsity Athletics Continuing on from this preparatory stage of Physical Education we enter the arena of tin older students of the schools. We must advance our form of physical education into forms of more interesting play. In other words we entertain the students o! this advanced age with forms of physical education which they like, such as football, basketball, baseball, field track and tennis. Now. we are not going to narrow these games down to a few rug- ged students in form of gladiatorial con- tests because they stand out more fitting than the entire student mass—but we so arrange them that every one has an equal chance at his or her game. Athletics are for the many and not for the special few. It is the physical development of all that becomes our duty and from the physical development of the mass we pick the best to represent the school in gladiatorial con- tests with the other schools. And by this form of interclass athletics we have a continuous supply of athletic material de- veloping all the time tin present varsity is playing. Kadi class from the seventh grade through the senior class is represented In .one or more teams in every branch of sport. The candidates for the varsity squad are barred from the interclass con- tests thus giving more chance for places on interclass teams. By this method we bring into play students that would ordin- arily be in the audience instead of on the field as contestants. Keep tin pot boiling —get every one into the game smooth off the rough edges of the underclassman and uncover material in the school that had it in them all the time but too timid to enter the field of play for a tryout be- cause they thought there was no chance for them. Lack of development of the fflirayp student body in preparing for the coming year has marred many an athletic season and has caused the student body to get sluggish for want of physical develop- ment. The Spirit of Interclass Athletics Other than the physical benefits derived by Physical Education in form of Inter- class and Varsity Athletics we learn the lesson of honest sportsmanship and clean play in competition. Many a business man and many a professional man when asked to express briefly what life means to him, says that it is but a “contest of suprem- ae) . From their experiences drawn from years of active life in their respective vo- cations they can tell of two kinds of men that are engaged in this contest of su- premacy—first the men who play the game fairly and squarely; and second the men who are unacquainted with such a thing as the “spirit of laws, who are good winners but poor losers, who believe that a profitable end justifies a doubtful means. Mindful of the fact that their adver- saries are their classmates and that even action and move they make on the play- ing field reflects not only on themselves but on their class or if in varsity sport their school, the players are almost uni- versally careful to deport themselves as sportsmen. You have my word as director of ath- letics in your school that participants in interclass and varsity athletics almost to the man. have displayed real sportsman- ship in their contests by avoiding sharp practices to “win games, by playing hard but clean games and by protesting results on real grounds rather than on technicali- ties. They have observed admirably that wise old injunction, good for work as well as for play: “To lose or conquer as ye can; Be each, pray God, the Gentleman.' 1U23 ifltraiir a mm c __J ‘2.3 'we of Twe c €o vCioe- (botccV'oooDce o dk coot's ow ft (bocf. 1923 H4 fRirayr 1923 I :u.

Lancaster Ill’s griciders held Columinis South Hi to a I) to 0 score. Rea 1 lighting spirit and gameness were shown by Lancaster, but our line began to crumble before South’s smashing at- tacks. In th fourth quarter after a series of end runs and “aerial attacks South Hi dropped behind our posts for the only counter. Abbott s too helped the local players out of several tight places during the game. Real spirit was shown by both the team and the student body. Nelsonville Game, Saturday, Oct. 7, 1922 Displaying no Brilliancy” but just the Old Fight in a never failing way. Lan- caster Hi sent Nelsonville home on the short end of a Ji to 0 count. Lawrence recovered a fumble behind Xelsonville’s goal for our only counter, but nice «rains were made by Siough. Ab- bott. Wilt, and Regan. After the line formed their “impenetrable Phalanx”, they marched down the field but it wa. unnecessary lor Lancaster to uncover their “deep stuff’. A good game. Chillicothe Game, Saturday, Oct. 21, 1922 Lancaster Hi battled Chillicothe to a scoreless tie on their own field, but thev were lucky to get off with a draw. Fre- quent fumbles on the L. II. S. back-field offset whatever advantage they derived from spectacular I ini plunges. In the first quarter Chillicothe carried the ball to Lancaster’s sixteen yard line but the resistance from there, to their goal was too great. In the second quarter. Lancaster’s backs carried ball for gains, aggregating eighty- °ne yards. Four fumbles and two penal- ties prevented them from crossing Chibs goal. Diamond ilt played a brilliant game for L. H. S. carrying the ball thirteen tunes for gains totalling ninety-two and one-half yards. Abbott and Slough were, also good ground gainers. Zanesville Game. Friday, Oct. 27, 1922 Lancaster Hi lost to Zanesville on their own field by a score of 20 to I). A heavy line and a speedy back field lopped oH by a determination to get back -------------1923------------------------- at Lancaster for their defeat a year ago. In the first half neither side scored, but Lancaster's line cracked in the third and fourth periods. Stellar roles were played m Lancaster’s back field by Wilt. Regan and Abbott while Gould and Rutherford deserve credit as line fighters. Other spots in our line were too weak allowing tin opponents to get through at times. Circleville Game. Friday, Nov. 3, 1922 Staginga brilliant comeback. Lancaster Hi defeated Ctrcleville by a score of 2n to It was a real game and displayed the lighting spirit of Lancaster Hi’s team and the loyal support of her student body. Our new pilot “Diamond” Wilt, carried the ball over for the first touchdown and then Gould dropped on the ball behind tlie bars and Regan came back with a touchdown. Abbott s educated toe guided two extra points over the bar. Twas some game, and a real light. Frankfort Game, Monday, Nov. 11. 1922 Lancaster Hi sent Frankfort home on the short end of a 2 1- to 7 count. Frank- fort put up a stubborn defense in the first half and even threatened to score, hut in the second quarter, Coleman blocked a Punt and Gould recovered it behind I' rank fort’s bars for our first touchdown. Regan acted as the “Official ('«round Gainer, having 2 touchdowns and gains of considerable yardage to his credit. Slough also carried the ball over for a counter and gained considerable ground. A good game. Athens Game. Monday, Nov. 20. 1922 Working like a team of veterans Lan- caster Hi hold the much touted “Athenian Gridders” to a scoreless tie. Athens came here with a string of vic- tories that shone like a “comet’s tail”; in- cluded among them was a 21 to 7 score over Huntington, W. Va. Lancaster playe I them to a standstill in the first half but they threatened to score m the second when they had the ball on our ten yard line. After holding them for downs. ( apt. Wilt’s educated toe hooted the ball out of the danger zone. Every Lancaster man was in the pink of condition and only one shift was made in Lancaster’s lineup. It was a wonder- ful game and displayed the real fighting spirit of old Lancaster Hi. Sc i----------------fflirayr------------------- Newark Game. Saturday, Nov. 27, 1922 This was the last game with an out of town aggregation our team played. Lancaster Hi fought Newark to a stand- still up until the last few minutes of play when Newark’s “aerialists” got into ac- tion and put ac ross a counter after having made six attempts of the same kind be- fore. It was a mighty tough battle to lose, but it was a real fight from start to finish. Alumni Game. Friday, Dec. 1, 1922 Lancaster Hi was unable to cope with J__.the stars of past years and battling qr against odds of weight and knowledge of ? tin game they were defeated by the score -r-1 of 38 to 0. The “weighty” Alumni backheM placed the “steam roller act. When they got the ball their line was impenetrable An aerial attack in the second barrage en- abled the High School to carry the ball from their own twenty yard line to Alum- ni’s four yard line, and this was Lancas- ter’s only chance to score but the ball was lost on downs.

The Scrubs When you hear that name don’t you think of a bunch of fellows huddled on the sideline's of a football field r on the bench at the side of the basketball ll« or? Sure! So do we. But did you ever stop to think of just what a tremendous factor these fellows are in the development of a varsity team. A man can’t become a boxer without a sparring partner. Neither can a football or basketball team become proficient without another team to give them the competition necessary to tlu building ot the team which is to represent your school. Those fellows who are fortunate enough to make the- varsity in any branch of ath- letics have plenty of incentive to stic k to tlu team and do their best. I hey have the cheers of the crowd and the oppor- tunity to distinguish themselves by their work. But how about the scrubs? 1 hey cer- tainlv don’t go out for glory for they sel- dom ’or never get it. They don’t go out for fun. for being a scrub in a poor ex- ample of a hilarious time. Vet they stick throughout the season and contribute what they can to tlu athletic record of our school. So the next time we are called to as- sembly to witness the awarding of letters to our varsity, lets cheer just as hard as we always have for those who receive let- ters, bul lets not forget those hard-work- ing scrubs who gave so much and receive so little. —J- S. 23. --------------------1923----------------- XX Ultraur To the 1922 Foot Ball Team Oh mighty men!

Circleville Game. March 23, 1923 This was a hard game for Lancaster to lose, as they were defeated by only one point. It was battled on even terms all the way till Schromme dropped in a basket that put L. H. S. in the lead but it was over- ruled by Referee on charge of traveling. He was rather confused, as was shown by other balks made. Final count 18 to 17. Circleville. Alumni Game. March 27, 1923 This was a real scrap with plenty of ac- tion.

March 10, 1923 1923----------------- 05 -------------------------------ill traijp Our Girls Basket Ball Season The L. II. S. Girls B. B. team of 1923 won the State Championship of teams playing hoys’ rules. They won every game in the regular schedule and during the entire season scored li’U points to Tfi by their opponents. At tin end of the season, seven members of the squad re- ceived gold basket balls. The consistent coaching of Mr. Nixon and Mr. Wallace, and the' aggressive methods of playing which they inaugur- ated. were the most important factors in the achievement of such a record. On the part of the players, diligent prac- tice and strict adherence to training rules was necessary. I hree girls were lost from last year’s squad viz.. Henrietta Dickson, Captain and forward, Liicile Defenhaugh, guard, who graduated, and Alice Wilson, guard, who moved to I )ayton. The loss of these three made the fnrmin of a team for this season a rather difficult task. This year only one member of the team will graduate Lucile Brandt, guard. Throughout the season she was a steady and dependable player, and if the position can be tilled in as credible a manner as hers, the outlook for next year will be quite promising. L. H S. vs. County Normal 12 - 2 I he first game of tin season, played at the Armory, was proceeded by several weeks of hard practice. For the first time the five man defense” was used and it prove I successful, as was shown by the low score made by the opposing team. At this, and all the following games, the hand was a great help in arousing spirit and enthusiasm among tlx fans. Tlx music put pep into the game and score I a hit with the people of tlx city who attended. L. II. S. vs The Lancaster Questions 17 — 0 The second game was played in the High School gymnasium. The Lancaster Questions were practically an Alumni team. I his game showed further the ef- fectiveness of a definite plan of procedure in playing. L. H. S. vs Circleville 24 — 0 A large crowd attended to see us defeat our ancient enemy. Circleville. Pauline Moody was on the lineup at right forward in hdna Shinklcs place and played a fast Moor game. L. H. S. vs Millersport 12—0 This game was played in the place of the one originally scheduled with Coshoc- ton. I rimble and Moody plaved at for- ward and center in the places'of Shinkle and Plinke who were off with tlx flu”. I he game showed that tlx substitutes were not lacking in ability. L. H. S. vs Athens 17 — 3 On February the team played at Ath- ens. I his was a List game for the op- ponents were worthy of their steel. A very cordial reception was given the Lan- caster team by the Athens fans. L. II. S. vs Westerville 13 - 1 I he Westerville game was a better one than the score would seem to indicate, as ’heir team was very aggressive. However. Lancaster’s defensive tactics succeeded in holding them to the low score. L. H. S. vs Somerset 13 — 7 The game played at Somerset was the first in which more than one field goal was scored against Lancaster. Our team was handicapped by tlx low ceiling and small floor and therefore could not dis- play their usual aggressiveness. L. H. S. vs Marysville 20 2 In this game, the ability of the substi- tutes was again demonstrated. They lili- ed the places of the regulars after tlx first half and “kept up the good work . L. II. S. vs Ashvilfe 19 — 8 I he highest score made against the Lan- caster team was in the game played at Ash ville. The referee called the fouls more closely than is customary, and most of the opponents points were made this way. ! 7 1323 ifliraiir L. H. S. vs Bex lev- 24 — 1 This was a loosely played tramc on the part of the Lancaster team. The Bexley team was crippled to a great extent, hav- ing only two regular players in their line- up. This fact probably accounted for the one-sided score. L. H. S. vs Newark Baptists 15 — 3 Permission was secured from the Ohio Board of Control in order to play this semi-professional Baptist team from New- ark. They have a splendid record and previous to this time had lost only one game in two years. For t lie first five min- utes no points were scored by either team. Then Lancaster’s offensive ability assert- ed itself and at the half the score was 8-3. In the last half. Lancaster succeeded in making 7 more points holding the visitors scoreless. L. H. S. vs Circleville 33 — 6 Much interest and enthusiasm was shown by the large number of fans who accompanied the team to Circleville. Mere as at all of the games, our band made a splendid showing. The score shows the result of much cooperation and support from the student body and band. “Pick” scored 11 of the 15 field goals made and “Scotty played an exceptionally good floor game. L. H. S. vs New Marshfield 6 — 2 The New Marshfield team, champions of Athens county, answered Lancaster’s challenge for State Championship. For a while, the game was very close, too close, in fact for comfort. At the end of the third quarter, the score was 2-2. The air was tense with excitement and when the tie was broken by a seeming impos- sible goal by Shinkle the fans fairly rais- • I the roof. After another goal by “I ick. tin whistle blew and the State Champion- ship was won. L. H. S. vs Warren V 21 A series of game was scheduled to be played between Warren High School, State Championship Team under girls rules, and Lancaster, champions under boys’ rules. The first contest was to be played at Lancaster, the second at War- ren. and a third if necessary, on a neutral floor. All were to be played one-half girls' and one-half boys’ rules. However. Lucile Brandt was unable to play on account of the serious illness of her mother, and Foreman received a bad- ly sprained ankle in the first game, so the following one was cancelled. The game was playe l on the Armory floor before a crowd of 15 10. The visitors’ line-up was decidedly the largest ever stacked up against the Lancaster team. The first half played under girls’ rules was fast and exciting and at the end of the 15 minute period of play. Warren was ahead 11-4. In the last half, the size of the Warren team again proved an advan- tage to them, for it made the Lancaster defense comparatively ineffective. Just as the home team was working up to their offensive drive, “Scotty” was hurt and had to be taken out of the game. Thereafter our combination was weaker, and suc- ceeded in making only 5 points to the visitors’ 10. The game was a heart-breaker, but after all. the State Championship title claimed by Lancaster was not at stake, for our challenge was issued for boys’ rules and was not accepted on this condition by Warren.

C oach Wallace has installed a system of physical training in the grades that is systematic, and looked forward to by ev- ery pupil. In the seventh and eighth grades, football, basketball, baseball, field and track training is carried on and great interest is taken in it. The lower grades have their calisthenics and a close watch is kept on their development and weight. This training is for all and not a chosen few, «and “mass training is carried on. but from the “mass a few are selected to represent each school. An idea is formed by each athlete of what will be expected of him as a “future student and his ideals and supervision will be higher in his high school athletics. This training applies to both boys and girls with indoor baseball instead of football for the girls. Athletic training in the grades is un- covering and developing some promising athletes for the future in L. H. S. During the past season Hast Grammar was victor in the inter-grade school football and bas- ketball. winning the tournament. The South girls won the basketball tourna- ment. I he grade schools are to participate in the Athletic Carnival given by the schools of Lancaster this spring. Athletics in Lancaster can he described by this in- stance: A traveling man going through a town passed a football field and saw two clogs lighting over a football. He re- marked that even “The dogs in this town play football. That’s Lancaster, even the little kids. But wait till they grow up. On the opposite page are the pictures of the winning teams. JHiragr fflirayp Physical Director KKKD H. W A I. LACK Mr. Wallace is from Miami l.’niversity, a member of the '15 class. During the war he served in the army and cavalry for IK months. He was head coach at Oxford for two years and at Lima for three years. At Lima his work was outstanding as the general supervisor of playgrounds. While in the army he was coach of basketball and football, having held the position of quarteback on his division team. Lancaster High Sc hool is indeed fortun- ate in having the services of Mr. Wallace. His wide coaching experience, his splen- did personal qualities, and his ability to get along with people make him the ideal man for the job. Mr. Wallace has secured both the respect and friendship of all with whom he has come in contact. And as a result of his earnest efforts in behalf of our city athletics, he has given us at once a comprehensive and thoroughly- supervised athletic program. Finer athletics, cleaner sportsmanship, or more enthusiastic school spirit have never before been experienced at Lancas- ter High. 1923 ffliraiu' HXi 1U23 LITERARY,, listed bj� ri -� l Jhtl'M inoil) blot ...... fffeivitl bodatmul atw ' •••! tl .moor “WHO? Pleasant Town was a small village near the sand dunes on the shore of Lake Out- look. The homes that were situated there were not numerous but what there were, were neat and with happy occupants. These sand dunes were about half a mile from the village but were nevertheless, a favorite play «round for the children. Sit- uated in tin dunes was an old castle that had been boarded up and abandoned when a storm, which had nearly covered the house, had arisen. Hut now the wind had drifted the sand somewhat away from the house anti entrance could have easily been made had it not been for the dis- turbing story that the castle was haunted. It was said that the owner came back ev- ery night to care for his castle and voices could be heard coming from within. Strange as it was no one had thought seri- ously about this question and up to this day the gates that connected the sur- rounding walls were unbroken. Barbara Blackwood, her brother Tom, anti four other chums decided to spend the first day they were free from school, on the dimes. This was on Saturday of course and early that morning they started off merrily with well filled lunch baskets and with the intention of enjoying the whole day in the open. After climbing tirelessly over the dunes a few hours they came to the old castle. The idea suddenly came to them Why shouldn’t they be the first ones to enter this building. They were not afraid and never had an adventure Seemed so appealing before. As the gate was badly rusted it took very little strength to gain entrance and soon were at the very door itself. They were very excited by this time and realized that talking about doing something and ac- complishing it were two different things. Hut they were fourteen years old and nothing could frighten them. As the hoards were torn from the door they re- membered that for the last two weeks at -i certain time, people from tin village had seen something white being waved from one of the upstairs windows. No one could explain this as they thought tin house to be deserted and when at last the door swung open they realized that they ------------1923-------------------- were on tin threshold of their first thrill- ing exploration. Not a sound was heard except their own voices and it was as Mildred (Barbara’s best friend) put it “spooky . Hut they braced up and decid- ed not to be fraidy cats and so went through the rooms downstairs without a mishap. This aroused their spirits and they were laughing and talking when sud- denly they heard tin sound as of some one singing. It was muffled and seemed as it the singer were imprisoned in a far-away cell. Silence reigned in the little group as they breathlessly listened. Then Dud Brown declared that he was going to see who it was and if the others wanted to come they could but he was going any way. Of course if one went they all would go, so with Dud” leading they ascended tile rickety stairway, on which were foot- prints in the dust, and were made recent- lv. “Dud warned them to be quiet as they could not tell who would lie on the upper Moor. Stepping upon every creak- ing board in the steps (or it seemed that way) they finally came to the top. It was verv dark as the windows were boarded up here also and the boys' flashlights were useful. The lights east a dreary look around the hall and the girls shuddered at the thought of what might be awaiting them. Suddenly while they were discuss- ing where to go, the singing ceased and above the sobbing that seemed to come from the same place, some one was heard to say. Crying will not help you. so why not be brave and make the best of every- thing.-' It is my place to guard you but I want you to be well and healthy when you return, whenever that is. Still tlie sobbing continued and the party outside realized that something was wrong. Against the wishes of the other members of the party. Dud and Tom insisted that they remain and learn all possible and then return for help. Dud was afraid that if they all went any farther, the oc- cupants of the room would hear them, so they selected him to go and find out all he could. He slipped noiselessly across the hall and peered into the room through a large crack in the door. After taking it all in” for a few moments lie returned and when they had descended a few steps so that their voices would not carry. In 107 '---------------ffliragp------------------ told them what lie had seen. The room was furnished lavishly and like a play- room. It had everythin? that a child could wish for. yet the occupant did not seem happy as she was crying. Her nurse was try in? to soothe her but evidently ac- complished little. It seemed strange to the friends of “Dud and to “Dud” him- self that two people should be so mysteri- ously living in a deserted castle with such comfortable surroundings, as their habita- tion. They could not decide what to do so they left the house hurriedly and start- — ed for home. They were too excited to IT play on the dunes any more that day so they returned home and told their parents “I— the story of their visit to the castle. The next day the parents of the group went to the castle to try to solve the mystery. Of course the chums sent also and were excited as someone had suggested that this might be the girl that had been kid- napped a few years ago and of whom nothing was ever heard. They sent di- rectly upstairs and after threatening to break the door open, if it was not opened at once, it swung back and they came face to face with a woman with a kind expres- sion on her face and looking as though she could never be civil to anyone. When they had first knocked before entering the girl in the room had screamed but now no one other than the nurse was present. However, after a search was made, they found her in the wardrobe where her nurse had hidden her. She came willing- ly from her hiding place and seemed to trust in the boys and girls who had come to her rescue. During this time the men had asked the nurse questions and found that this girl. Flora Mae Bookwalter, had been kidnapped from her wealthy parents by men who were very angry at Sir. Hook- waiter. She was at that time eight years of age and only two weeks ago had been brought to this castle because they thought the climate would be better for her. The nurse had been hired at a very large salary to take care of Flora and as she knew the family very well, she did not line! it hard to be kind to her ward. She had hoped to be able to release her ward some day but her employers watched closely and the time had not yet arrived. The handkerchief had been a scheme of the nurse to attract attention of men com- ing from work, but no one had thought much about i.. Flora was of course returned to her par- ents. who had never expected to see her again and everyone said that the chums who afterwards organized “The Heal Ex- plorer’s Club”, were the base of all the discoveries. They would not accept the reward that had been offered but they un- meaningly told, and quite unconsciously, that their one desire was “to see the world.” So within a few days the an- nouncement was made that Mr. and Mrs. Bookwalter and daughter. Flora, accom- panied by her six new found friends would sail immediately for Europe and the Orient. This great adventure was out- side a castle and they readily decided that “the who” of a haunted building is the most essential thing. —Marie Samsel BRIGG’S CASE “Coffee, Burke,” commanded Mrs. Brigg. “The toast. Burke. Eggs and toast for Mr. Brigg.” “How did the deal with the Hoosier Company result?” she asked her husband eyeing him closely. “We put it over!” he said emphatically bringing his fist down dangerously near the coffee. “I think Tuesday is our wedding anni- versary. You haven’t forgotten. I hope?” she asked glancing at him. “No. he said preparing to leave the table. “I want a Hudson Seal more than any- thing else. “What! Last week it was the limousine. A week before that the cameo and a week before that, the diamond ring. Besides you’re wrecking me with your outrageous bills. Just yesterday I paid a bill of five hundred at the dry goods store and there is no telling what kind of a bill I will get today. Mv business isn’t any too certain now. besides I’m running beyond my in- come. Bv the way. I’ve been hearing how you run the car. You seem to think you’re the only one driving. You are going to be more dead than alive if you don’t watch out”. Why, George?” she cried reproachful- ly. What makes you talk so?” “What makes me talk so? What makes you act so?” “No coat. George? “Fraid I can’t. Perhaps after awhile but it’s impossible now. Well, I must get to the office,” he said. 108 1923 fflirayp “Hum, the tight fist. Father might send me one but—no I know ho wouldn’t.” “Burke, what's the matter with this cof- fee?” “Just a minute and I will got some hot,” ho answered. Does seem as if you might serve more promptly sometimes,” she said when he returned a few minutes later. “Is there anything else you want?” No, I may want you later on in the morning.” “Yes, ma’m.” A few minutes later Mrs. Brigg left the room and went to her desk in tin library. Taking her list of guests to whom invita- tions wore to be sent for the reception in two weeks, she scanned the list, musing over this person and that person. There is Mrs. Kenniworth. Is she de- sirable? Would she bo an asset to the company? Well, yes. Let’s see, Mrs. Wilfred and Miss Macdonald. Mrs. Ack- worth! I’m almost tempted to cross her name out. She seems so superior. I just can’t bear to see her with that seal coat, •when I haven’t one. Does seem unfair. Wish she would lose it. Oh! Xo, 1 couldn’t and yet 1 wouldn’t be the one to really take it no—-well, she wouldn't miss it st� much yet -James!” “Yes, Mrs. Brigg.” “(iocali Burke and tell him I want him” “He is out just now, Mrs. Brigg, but 1 will tell him as soon as he returns.” How soon will he be back? He should be here any minute. I will tell him as soon as ho comes.” Five minutes latet a knock was heard and Burke, a heavy sot, dark complexion- od. little man of forty entered. You sent for me, Mrs. Brigg?” “I did. Burke. Come in and close the door. she said lowering her voice. What’s up?” “Burke.’ ’she said slowly. “You know that fur coat of Mrs. Ackworths’. she is go- ing to lose it,’ looking at him with a knowing eye. Yes, ma’m,” was Burke’s obedient re- ply; There is the reception she will wear it. “Yes, ma’m.” Then a startled look came into Burke’s eyes. His shoulders shrugged. Mrs. Brigg’s shoulders lifted. “Oh, you’re above that aren't you? there are some things vou are not above though, eh? Yes, ma’m.’’ “Think you can take the coat to the garage, now? Yes, ma’m.” At eight the guests began to arrive. 1 here was much laughing and admiring of gowns, babbling voices seeming to be everywhere upstairs. An hour later they all descended to the hall below and the second floor was quiet. Then came a sealthy tread and a dark form appeared in the hallway. Hum,” he murmured. “There was one thing that she didn’t take seriously, and —L that was as to whom they think took it. X Certainly no spirit. She probably expect- r ed luck to intervene there but we’ll make sure.” So saying he (Tossed the room to a glass df� or and opened it. The moon cast its silvery ray into the room but this he did not notice. A minute later he pushed the door to but took pains not to shut it. leaving a crack that might be per- ceived by a sharp eye. He then took the coat and left the room. An hour passed; two and three; and at last the guests came for their wraps. Then came a startled cry. “Mv coat! It’s gone! Does anvone see it? ; For a minute all were silent and then they broke out in startled exclamations. Mrs. Briggs heard them and came up with some other guests. Why, what is the matter?” My coat is gone!” cried Mrs. Ackworth. Your coat gone! Why. where did you lay it? Are you sure you looked? Does no one see it? Certainly none of the ser- vants took it but of course, you know, that is possible. I will send for them to appear.” Yes. do Mrs. Brigg. It certainly would do no harm anyway.” said Mrs. Ackworth. James! Tell all of the servants to re- port immediately. “Yes, Mrs. Brigg.” iie replied with a stiff how. One after another assembled in the room and the questioning began. What- ever question happened to be thought of by any guest was asked. Bridget, did you leave the kitchen at any time after eight this evening?” asked Mrs. Brigg. Laws no! I hose victuals kept me watchin’ them like so many children, f did go to ma room for some thrad, but dat's all.” she said. 1923----------------- lui ffltraijr “Well, you do look like an honest soul and I believe you,” said Miss Beckwith. “Johnny, what have you been doing?” “Washing the deeshes. Nover saw such stacks in all ma life and I ain’t done yet, said Johnny with great emphasis. “Never left the kitchen? quered some- one. “Niver, he answered solemnly. “Well pass on. “Burke, what have you to say for your- self? asked Mrs. Brigg. “Not much madam, except this. 1 no- - — tice the door opening onto the balcony X is ajar and you have not been out there for a week. It’s my belief that someone entered by way of the balcony while the guests were down stairs and carried off the coat. “My, wouldn’t he make a Sherlock Holmes though! whispered someone. All were inclined to believe Burke's statement and after some discussion the servants were dismissed and soon after- wards the guests departed. “The coat will be found, Mrs. Aclcworth, you may be sure,” had been the parting words of Mrs. Brigg. The next morning the news of the lost apparel was out and the search began. Sometime later Mrs. Brigg left for a near- by town, where she went to a well known furrier. She presented the coat and gave instructions to have it altered. The fur- rier looked at her curiously but she only smiled saying: “That coat was given to me for a wed- ding present. My father who is a furrier in Ontario designed it but I have worn it only a few times. It was tin finest pelt and very valuable. To this the furrier assented and told her he would notify her when ready. A week later she received a card saying, “Will you please call in the morning at nine o’clock the twenty-first? Promptly at nine she was there for she now felt that she was at the end of her enterprise. She was shown into the office and the furrier came forward. That certainly is a lovely coat you have. Did you say you purchased it in Cincinnati? he asked. No. that came from Ontario. My father was a furrier and gave it to me for a wed- ding present,” she answered. “Indeed! Well, madam, my story must differ from yours. When we ripped open the coat this is what we found, and he picked up the coat from the table and turned back the lining. There in the corner was stamped tin name of a Cincin- nati firm. We have shown the coat to tin- firm and they identified it as the one sold, to Mrs. Ackworth. “Now Mrs. Brigg sit still. he commanded as she started to rise. “There is no use to deny it anil what do you propose to do?” A minute passed, then she spoke in hum- ble tones. “1 see my wrong. I will re- turn the coat myself to Mrs. Ackworth.” Mrs. Ackworth reflecting over the miss- ing coat was aroused by the appearance of Rodin. A caller, he said handing Mrs. Brigg’s card. “Mrs. Brigg! At lunch hour? Why. what could she want?” murmured Mrs. Ackworth as she descended. As she entered the room two things met her eyes; her fur coat and the white face of Mrs. Brigg. With brimming eyes and broken voice. Mrs. Brigg thrust forth the coat saying. Your coat! I took it! Can you ever for- give me? You! Mrs. Ackworth exclaimed as the lovely warm coat fell into her arms. Weeping Mrs. Brigg sank into a chair. Slipping down beside her, the coat be- tween them. Mrs. Ackworth said gently in a soft, sweet voice, “tell me how it hap- pened. —Harriet Walker'24 SHADOWS ON THE WALL Mr. Foresham pawed around in the dark trying to find the electric light button, muttering to himself all the time why they did not fix those things so they could be seen in the dark. Finally he found it, switched on the light, and then sat down to nurse his shins where they had come in unnecessary contact with various arti- cles of furniture. Now for some information as to who Mr. Foresham is. what he is, and where he is. Mr. Foresham is vice-president of a firm in Trenton, New Jersey, manufacturing implements for farming. This company is known as the Trenton Harvester Com- pany. The president of this concern is Mr. A. (i. Bennet, a very good friend of the Foresham family. Mr. Foresham had come home with the announcement a few days ago that he had purchased a summer home at Riverside, ------------------1923 110 •New Jersey, on the Delaware River, for a very considerate sum. Of course this pleased the family, in which there were Mr. and Mrs. Foresham, Jack, aged seven- teen years and Dorothy, aged sixteen years. When they were getting ready to go they decided to take along Rob Rennet, son of Mr. A. (1. Rennet, and a very good chum of Jacks. Rob was the life of the party wherever he went, and lu was ad- venturesome as well. They left Trenton the next day and ar- rived at Riverside after an all night ride. They were delighted with the house, but the natives sort of sidestepped them and would not come near the house for a rea- son we shall learn later. So much for that explanation. Now to go on with the story proper. Being in a strange house accounted for all of Mr. I'oresham’s awkwardness, when he could not locate the electric light but- ton. He was too busy rubbing his shins and muttering to himself to notice the condi- tion in which the room was in. But when he did notice it. he sat up with a snort, and that was all he could do for a couple of minutes. Furniture was turned topsy- turvy, pictures were hanging with their faces to the wall, and flower pots were up- set and broken. Then lie let out a big yell for the rest of the family. Rut per usual, they wen- attending a motion picture show in town. After he found that none of the family were home, he rang for the servants, but it was their night off. and lie was alone. He began to set things to rights, and was almost through when he looked up and saw some grotesque shadows on the wall. He went out in the hall expecting to find the family there, knowing that Dorothy like ! to cast shadows on the wall. Rut he found no one. Then he began to hear rumblings under the house, and he went down in the cellar, but could find nothing. Finally the family arrived but they laughed at the ideas of shadows, but when they were told of the furniture being turn- ed topsy-turvy, they became more sober, that is, all but Rob Rennet, who made a joke of the affair. Rut about one o’clock that night, they were all convinced as to the truth of Mr. I'oresham’s statement. About one o'clock they were all awak- ened by rumblings down stairs, as if some --------------------ffliraijp-------------- one were rolling large casks around. After they had switched on their lights, strange sha lows began to play on the walls of their rooms. The man all rushed out, but could find no one. Mrs. Foresham became hvsterical, and even Rob quieted down. I here was not much sleep anv more that night. The next morning the servants were questioned concerning last night’s affair, but they could give them no explanation on the subject and they were all packing up to leave, declaring that they would not stay in tin house with ghosts, as they put it. About ten o’clock in the morning Jack and Rob walked down to the village. While in the store purchasing some arti- cles. Rob overheard one of the natives asking another whether he had heard any- thing concerning the Foresham mansion, as it was called. Then Jack and Bob decided to inquire around, and find out what was so mysteri- ous concerning the house. Finally one old gentleman who was a very good friend of theirs told them some- thing. but rather reluctantly. I'e told them that for the last year the house was supposed to be haunted. That was why the people had sidestepped them upon their arrival. Maybe that was why the mansion had been sold for such a low- sum. Nevertheless, Jack and Rob were de- termined to hunt out the ghosts if there were any. That afternoon both donned old clothes and taking a couple of flashlights, they started out to explore the old mansion. They started in the garret and worked down to the cellar. The cellar had never been cleaned thoroughly and they poked around in the rubbish. This they did for about an hour, but it did them little good. Finally they were called for dinner and were forced to abandon their search. After dinner Mr. and Mrs. Foresham. Rob and Jack were sitting in the library reading. Dorothy was in another room hunting for something she had dropped earlier in the day. Suddenly the four in the library were startled by a scream in the next room. Rob and Jack were there in an instant. They found Dorothy on the floor in a dead faint. When she was revived, she told them of seeing some of the most grue- some shadows she had ever seen, on the -------------fRiragr--------------------- wall opposite where she was lying:. That settled it. Jack and Hob both de- clared they were going to find out what caused the shadows or knew the reason why. The next morning: both boys started in. Bob was certain that what ever was caus- ing: the shadows was hiding: in the cellar. They started in with flashlights and re- volvers this time. Alter about a half hour’s search, Bob found a sliding panel in a part of the cellar that had been parti- tioned off from the rest of the cellar. They started in very quietly to search this passage, when suddenly they heard a wail, as if some one were dying. Louder! Louder!! Louder!!! it grew and then died away. Then a shot rang out. Bob had shot in the direction from which the wail had come. Then another shot rang out, and Bob crumpled up beside Jack, who stood as if he were transfixed. Jack be- came frantic for a moment, and then de- cided to go for help. When he returned with two of the men servants they began to search the long passage way. Finally the chauffeur found another sliding panel. They entered and found a room containing a complete counterfeit- ing apparatus, the biggest ever uncovered in the United States. Detectives were called and then Bob was taken care of. It was found to be only a flesh wound in the forearm, and Bob was soon up with his arm in a sling. When the detectives arrived they took complete charge of things. They searched the place and found several clues. As a result all but three of a gang of eight men were rounded up within two weeks, and the country's perplexing coun- terfeiting scheme was solved. The men confessed to have scared every- one away, who had come into the house, by the shadow scheme, and had succeeded until the Foresham family with two ad- venturesome hoys had arrived. —W.
