Published bi The Student bod Lancaster High School Nineteen Hundred Tuuentq Fine In dedicating these pages of the year's school history, the 1925 Mirage has chosen to bestow the signal honor on one to whom the City Of Lancas- ter is largely indebted for its national prominence. William T ecu m sob Sherman has given ns a distinguished example of those rare qualities of ex- ecutive ability, self-for- getful service, and keen strategy, both as a general and as a statesman, which have won for him a place in the heart of every American. f' The 1925 M I R A G E assumes for its mission the privilege of preserv- ing within these pages those records of the past year which we believe, in the days to come, will serve as pleasant mem- ories and will call forth precious reminiscences of High School days. If we have been able to place before you a concise and relevant record of the material in our posses- sion, we have accomplish- ed our purpose.

SENIORS (Elass piatori} In the Year of Our Lord. Nineteen Hun- dred and Twenty-One, on the eighth day of September. We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five, entered these Portals «if Knowledge. We entered as most all Freshmen Classes have done from year to year that is. through the side doors to escape the initiation due us from the Honorable Upperclassmen. On that morning we assembled in the auditorium to lind out the rooms to which we were to be assigned and also to let the Upper- classmen give us the once-over . We were greeted in the auditorium by much applause and jeers but took these with a smile to show the Upperclassmen that we were not the kind to be scared. I think many teachers and the other classes have found out since that day that we never have lost that characteristic. After a talk by the Principal and the Superintendent we were assigned to our rooms, and from that time until about two weeks later, it was a very funny scene to see us freshmen looking behind doors to find the numbers of the rooms or to wonder absent-mindedly around until some good-hearted Semoi would ask us what the idea was and we would tell him that we were looking for a certain room. He would tell us where to find it. but when we entered we would find, much to our surprise, that he had steered us to the engine room. After the boys had re- ceived their initiation and all the girls had made friends with all the good-look- ing Senior boys, they found out that this was not going to be such a bad place after all. We went through the first semester as well as could be expected of a freshmen class and then we were told by Mr. Hick- son that we should assemble in the audi- torium to elect our class officers. There were about two hundred freshmen as- sembled and the meeting was called to order, Miss Mary Margate! Lehew acting as chairman. Those who were elected to take charge of our wonderful class were: President. Francis King; Vice-President, George Martin; Secretary. Dorothy DeLan- cy and Treasurer. Virginia Radebaugh. Mr. Marquis was chosen class advisor. On March 15 and 16 we held two other meetings, in which we voted for our class colors, our motto, and our class flower. Green and white were chosen for our class colors, We leadâother followâ was select- ed for our motto, and the sweet pea was chosen as our class flower. On the night of March 31 the class had their first class spread which was held in the High School Gymnasium. The Gym was decorated very attractively in the class colois, green and white. Many games were played and fitting refreshments were serv- ed. making our first class spread a marked success. Day after day passed with the usual grind for those of the Freshman Class, and from the looks of a great many grade cards, it showed that « ur wonderful class was to be diminished greatly. To ask the teachers of the High School the cause of their failing, I am afraid would have brought the following explanation: (1) Too many pretty girls in the High School; (2) Too many outside interests, and (last- ly) Too slight a desire for study. To all of the lower class men we wish to leave this kindly remark: If you expect to graduate, expect to study.â On a certain Friday after Faster, our class was to hold a weiner roast so when we assembled at the High School to depart for the place where the event was to be held, we found that we would have to have it in the Gymnasium, so our weiner roast was turned into our second class spread. This turned out to be even better than our first one. Much enthusiasm had been shown in the class for many weeks due to the fact that our class had its mind made up to win the Field Meet, but when it was over, it look- ed as though someone had changed our minds for us. because we were last in the Field Meet, having a total of 22 points. On May 25 we held a meeting to decide whether our class would be represented at the class picnic to be held at Buckeye Lake on June 9. All were in favor of our going so we decided to be out for the good time. Raymond Roop was the chairman of this picnic, and many thanks to Ray for this was one of the class successes of the year. Swimming, dancing, boat riding and all the other amusements furnished at this resort kept us all busy. Thus ended our first year in Old Lancaster High. On September 8. 1922. we, the class of '25. came back to these Halls of Wisdom to begin our second year of high school work. Many of our old school chums were here to greet us, but many of them had left this place to make their own way in this wide, wide world. Our class had diminished in size, but many new students came anti entered into the roll of the Soph- omore classs. We had a meeting on Octo- ber A to sec who should pilot the Soph- omoreâ through the rough seas of 1922. Robert Veidt was chosen captainâ of the ship, Dorothy DeLancy was chosen first Page Thirty-nine SENIORS madeâ, Harriet Trimble was chosen sec- ond mateâ, and Brooks Maccracken was to have charge of the fuel, in other words, the money. Miss Portncr was chosen to advise us upon which course our good ship should go. These officers promised to make our Sophomore year one of our best years in these Halls of Fame and it surely was one of our best. On Friday evening, November 10. the class had their first party of the year. At this party we had as our guests. Professor J. J. Phillips his wife and daughter. This party was a huge success, due to the fact of Mr. Phillipâs presence. We found out at this party that our new superintendent was a jolly good sport, and Iâm sure that Mr. Phillips found out that the class of â25 was always backing him up in everything that he undertook. Our class was well represented in the class basketball tournament, so that it made the rest of the teams step fast to win the championship. We also had sev- eral representatives on the varsity basket- ball squad. Things went along as usual, with some failures and some successes, but the class as a whole was always on the top. On February 21. the Class had a theatre party at the Hippodrome theatre where they wit- nessed Silas Marner,â a book which at that time was being studied in our Soph- omore English classes. Following the play, we enjoyed a feedâ at Antillâs. If you donât think this party was a howling suc- cess ask the manager of the theatre. Field Day came around the second time for our class, but we had the usual jinx with us and came out at the small end of the score, but our boys and girls who bad entered, proved that they would show great opposition to the other classes in our next two years. Nothing much happened during the re- mainder of the year, except the usual ex- citement that comes with the final exam- inations, so that on the last day of school our class had their annual picnic at Buck- eye Lake, thus ending our second year in dear old Lancaster High. Again we are entered into these Halls of Fame as the Junior Class Our Class is still large in number, though many of our old pals have left us. We held our first Junior Class meeting a week after the school work started, to elect the officers for the Junior year. Jack Stover was elected president; Raymond Roop, vice president, Annabelle Witham. secretary, and Pauline Moody, treasurer. We had a meeting later on to decide what kind of pins and rings to have for our class, and after much discussion, we found out what kind we wanted and then got them about the middle of November. Our class ad- visor. Miss Portlier notified us that she intended to resign. We tried to persuade her to keep her exalted position, but she refused and we got in her place That Red-headed Gal.â Miss Griffith. We decided to have our first Junior class party and on February 8 we assembled at Frances Turnerâs home where our party was held and enjoyed immensely. Our class selected as their first class play Esmeraldaâ and this was one of the best plays ever produced by a Junior class, and it showed that in the Senior year our class would be capable of putting across plays that would attract attention. On May 15, the Junior and Senior classes assembled at the Elks' Home where the Junior-Senior Banquet was held. This was our Classâs most successful event. After our âexamsâ we all looked for- ward to our last social function and on May 30 we hold our class picnic at Buck- eye Lake, thus ending our third year. At the beginning of our Senior year, Jack Stover was again elected president of our class. John Rauch vice president Ruth Kneller secretary. Beulah Scott treasurer, and Miss Vlerebome class advisor. Nothing much has been going on in the Senior Class this year, because everyone is trying his best to graduate. I am the first one who has ever had the honor to write the class history of a class that graduates in caps and gowns. It is also the largest graduating class ever pass- ing out of this Hall of Fame, where other graduates who have made a name for them- selves and their Alma Mater have received their diplomas. Our first Senior class play was a marked success and we are sure that our last play will be also. We wish to take this oppor- tunity to thank Miss Portner for the hard work she has given us in coaching our plays. Our boys won the interclasss basketball championship and we had four boys and five girls on the varsity teams who made their letters this year. After many years in this great school, we have found that it is going to be hard to leave it. but now our evolution through these four years is completed and we shall go forth to bring honor and praise upon the name of our dead Alma Mater. We have been taught that our best efforts is all that life asks of us, so now we shall go forth into this broader life. The Class of â25 has put forth its best efforts to get the best results so now we bid adieu to all our associates in the lower classes and to the faculty who have strug- gled with us these four years. We hope you all find in the class of 1926 a class who will endeavor to follow in our re- nowned footsteps. âRalph S. Hammitt Page Forty SENIORS (EUbh Witt We, Ihc inembers of the Senior Class of 1925, of the high school of Lancaster, in the County of Fairfield and State of Ohio, being in our twelfth year (or more) of student training and therefore being of sufficiently educated, developed, sane, and supercilious minds and memories, and wishing to dispose of all of our possessions and chattels, and desiring to transfer our cares and responsibilities, do therefore make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our last Will and Testament, hereby re- voking and making null and void all oth- er last Wills and Testaments by us made heretofore:- - First: We give, devise, and bequeath to our Alma Mater our everlasting love and fidelity, and do hope that in the years to come she may profit by the services which we have rendered her in the past that our standards of scholarship, our school loyal- ty. our athletic ability, and our original- ity and vim may not be lost to the school through our graduation, but may be pass- ed down to other classes as an example of high class attainment. Second: To the Juniors we devise such of those possessions of ours as have made us a successful Senior Class, namely: the patience in study now possessed by Laur- etta Halderman, the athletic prowess and fight of Genevieve Foreman, the musical touch of Dorothy DeLancy, the Latin knowledge of George Martin the scientific ability of Charles Pearce, the debating at- tack of Frank Johnson, and the labors of John Work. We do also bestow upon them all rights, privileges, and duties to our numerous beaus and sweethearts, (such of whom as shall continue to grace these halls of beauty in the next year) be- lieving that as dignified Seniors they may better impress the pretty ones with their importance. We do make, constitute, and appoint the matrimonial experts of Lan- caster High, Miss Adale Aten. Miss Mar- garet Zimmerman, and Mr. Harry Marquis as a board of trustees with full powers, and privileges for this particular clause, subject only to the advice, consent, and direction of our executrix hereinafter named to see that all mating is done to the best advantage of those concerned. Third: To the Sophomores we bequeath the dramatic ability of Helen Koby and Darrell Crumley, in the belief that with such aid and favor they may produce a play worthy of our respectful esteem. We do also donate to them the loud socks so conspicuously adorning the extremities of certain of our supposedly dignified Sen- iors, as the material from which to make their class banner, and the brililant dia- mond so ostentatiously worn by Ralph Hammitt in this year's minstrel as an add- ed adornment for their class pins. Fourth: To the Freshmen we give such of those possessions of ours as will «aid them upon arriving at the lofty position of wise young Sophomores, namely: the intelligence of Jacob Molar wherewith they may increase their intellectual status, the grandiloquent and pompous air of Rosslyn Cline to properly adorn the intel- ligence, and the wardrobe of the Rade- baugh twins wherewith they may more gloriously enter the sacred precincts of polite society. Having bequeathed which we extend to them our hearty good wishes for a successful initiation of the incoming Freshmen. Fifth: To the aforesaid incoming Fresh- men we bequeath the camouflaged flivver now possessed by the Stover-King corpor- ation as a means whereby they may trans- port themselves to their first weiner roast, which we hope will be a howling success in true Freshman fashion. Sixth: To the Faculty we bequeath all rights and privileges to the human die- Page Forty-one SENIORS tionary and encyclopedia, Wilber Scott Stammler by the use of which they may the more easily solve their cross word puzzles. Seventh: To our patient janitors, Mr. White and Mr. Franklin, we give our sin- cere thanks for keeping us clean, warm, and healthy during our stay in these halls, for we may truthfully say that the dirt was efficiently scooped up every day, that the temperature of the building was never below freezing, and that at no time were more than half the student body absent because of sickness. Eighth: To the Board of Education we bequeath the onetime plans of a new high school as a memento of that sweet dream, while we do earnestly hope that some day the dream may become a reality. Ninth: To Supt. Phillips, vulgarly known as Soupyâ we bequeath the ban- ner which formerly advertised our supreme opertta, The Maid and the Middy as a belt wherewith to uphold his balloon trousers. Tenth- To Paul Unks we leave two dol- lars ($2.00) with which to purchase one copy of the volume entitled Perfect Be- havior.â Eleventh: To each of the younger mem- bers of Hickson, Smart and Johnson fam- ilies respectively, we bequeath one rubber shooter-in the belief that through the free use of which their affectionate parents may return to school more hardened to the attacks of paper wads, erasers, and chalk, and more skilled in the arts of punish- ment. Twelfth: To Miss McCoy, the friend of the Seniors, we bequeath the playthings of John Rauch, which se as so wistfully admired in her F section, and we hope that as a competent judge of the Senior classes of the past years she may place us high in her recollections. Lastly: We make, constitute, and ap- point our esteemed Minerva, the perpetual overseer of these halls of learning, to be executrix of this, our last Will and Testa- ment. In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hand and seal this 21st day of May in the year of Our Lord, One Thous- and and Twenty-five.

The first lawyer was Paul Kern but he gave too much to Dar- rell. the second was Wayne Miljer but he gave too much to Mary, the third was Wilbur Stammlcr and he made both of them so made at him that they went back together again very peacefully! Alice H. How terribleâbut they never agreed very long, however, it was Mary who obtained Dolly a place as a model at Wiseman's. Dorothy D. Yes, I guess sheâs quite a success tooâshe struts out ass though the world belonged to her and I understand that he has quite captivated the new man- ager who, by the way was also a member of the class of â25. John Van Dyke. Alice H. Yes, and Oliver Yoder has re- tired as a bachelor farmerâwonât have any girls around. Good idea in my estimat- ing. Fine! im Dorothy D. (scathingthy). Thanks! It seems we have lots of farmers from our class thereâs Verlin Mowcry and Ray Steel and William Schweikert all have taken up that work and just imagine! Virginia Radebaugh has become a farmerette! Alice H. Oh, no! But I thought she in- tended to cultivate her voice? John W. It was too awful. Her folks got so they wouldn't let her practice and Vcnie was so sorry about it that she wor- ried until she was thin then she got a place at Keithâs playing the part of a fairy spir- it. Dorothy D. Oh. there are quite a few on the stage. Ralph Hammitt has a per- manent part as a clown for a circus and in one of the side shows Vergene Wolfe has a display of some of the finest woolly worms in the U. S. Alice II. Really? Then she must be with the same company that Beulah Scott is in. You know Beulah always tended to corpulence and I understand she hasnât lost a pound! John W. Yes, she and Eddy Cowden are in the same booth to show the difference I suppose, but Eddy goes to sleep so much that heâs about to be fired. Dorothy D. Poor fellow I always rath- er liked Eddy, but he and Rose Borgia Thimines almost had a race to see who could sleep through the most classes and now thatâs almost all Rose does except when sheâs knitting hose for poor chil- dren. John W. We have lots of friends in that good work. Why Cloise Bay and Neil Shonting hold regular duets on the trom- bone and clarinet for the benefit of the Salvation Army. They make sometimes as much as $5.00 a month. Alice H. Piffle! That's nothing Helen McClanahan and Grace Ulmer tell a series of short stories every month to grandmoth- ers and grandfathers who are in their sec- ond childhood and they give all the money they make to the poor. Dorothy D. That surely is a fine work, but it is no better than that taken up by Midge Grimm and Midge Dittmar. They are both nurses out at the hospital and donât even know the difference between castor oil and arsenic. However, when they smile so sweetly and everything, no better medicine is needed. John W. Is that so? Heaven help us' Why only last week Charlie Pearce was almost blown to pieces in his laboratory trying to invent a non-lickable lip-stick and they sent him out there for those two Page Forty-three SENIORS were both to care for him and didn't they completely forget him? Dorothy D. Not really? John W. Yes really. Midge Grimm had gone to the movie to see a picture of Jack Stover called âWild and Woolly or some- thing like that and Midge Dittmar was spending all her time with Ray Mark wood and Raul Blume who had been run over by a train due to reckless driving. Alice H. Why John! What happened to them? John W. They recovered. Alice lb They were almost as unfortu- nate as Boyd Boerstler and Elson Pickering who were chased for five miles by an angry steer before Boyd discovered that his red bandana handkerchief was flapping out of his pocket. They had a hard time at the hospital. Oh! Whoâs coming? Why a whole crowd Helen Roby of all people and Rosslyn. why Hattie and Guy. Do come in. all of you. Iâm so glad to see you brought your cornet. Helen R. Yes, hello everybody. We ex- pected to be here sooner but we were stopped by an airplnne wreck. Hattie Z. Yes, you sec Ray Roop tried to do a fancy dive as a lesson to his avation students and well, it didn't work. Rosslyn C. I'll say it didnât work. His whole class including Leo Woeher, Jake Molar. Alice Myers and Mary Schneider all went out to watch him and after he got up so high they all rushed to their airplanes and followed him. Guy R. You see. there was a bunch of âem on their honey moons hiding in the planes. In one Scotty Foreman and Nor- man went on their way to married bliss and all the rest. Helen R. But did you see who was in the other two? In one there was Doyle and Lillian and in the other Georgia and Merrill stood up and waved at each other. Alice II. Really? Weâre sure they suit each other but did you know that Harriet and Shromme couldn't hit it off together. Hattie Z. Yes. we saw them on opposite sides of the street and looking as mad as hornets. Alice H. Oh. well, enough for that. Let's have some music. Dorothy, won't you play something for us? All Oh, do play something. Dorothy D. Plays. Alice H. âOh Dorothy, that was fine! John W. Iâll say it was fine! Hattie Z. How do you know? 1 donât believe you know the difference between music and plain noise, besides what is it to you that Dorothy plays well? John W. Nothing more than that Iâve had a great deal to do with her success. You see. Iâve practically trained her! Dorothy D. Yes. you have! But do stop arguing about that and let's hear from Guy. Helen R. Yes. Guy. you promised us youâed play for us. And just think, he now has the position of directing Sousa's dand! Alice H. How fine! Dorothy wonât you accompany him? Dorothy D. âSurely. What shall it be? Guy R. Gives name. They play. John W. âPretty good, Guy. pretty good. You accompanied very well Doro- thy. Dorothy D. Thanks! Rosslyn Yes and that's only half of it. That's what I call great! Hattie Since weâre on the subject of musicâdid you know that Rachel Belle Ricketts is a second Galli Curci? Rosslyn Huh? Helen R. Yes. I've heard her sing and she is good too. You see Edwin Davies got the job of being her business manager. I guess she treats him awfully. Guy âWithout a doubt! Did you know that Ruth Kindler and Lucille Walters had formed a company of musicians? Rosslyn Yes, and they have a regular show too! Joe Rockey and Bob Acton are end men with solo parts and Edna Risch and Annabel Mills play the part of vamps. They're good too! Guy Well who's telling about this, you or me? Rosslyn Me!â Guy I thought so. Hattie Calm yourselves. I heard them and thought they were punk. Of all things having Mary Margaret Lehew as leading lady when she can't sing any better than I can! Rosslyn She's good! And Minard De- I.ong makes a most heroic hero, you canât deny that! Alice H. Let's forget it. They must be fine, at least we hope so. Dorothy D. Yes, so do me. The next time I have a chance I intend to hear them.â John W. Dorothy, why donât you tell about your trip to Europe. All Trip to Europe Recently? Dorothy D. Yes. wc just got back and it surely was wonderful. I think the fun- niest thing that I saw and heard was John Rauch trying to learn a French song about donkeys and he thought it was about love! Helen R. Well- what happened? Dorothy D. Since the girl was French she sent him about his business. Alice H. Poor fellow. How was he to know?â John W. âHe wasn't Donât you see? Dorothy IX Well we also met Mary Andrews and Relva Boyer running a cab- arot. Regular dancers and everything, it was an awful place. Hattie Those girls surely must have changed then.â Dorothy D. âThey have- they don't care much anymore what they do just so they make money and ave a big crowd. John W. âThey hail some orchestra tooâGeotge Martin was the leader and had learned to jazz it on the piano. He sure was fast. Helen R. Not George? Why how dread- ful! You didnât know any of the rest did you? Dorothy D. Lloyd Await played the mouth harp and Bob Durain kept time with an accorina! Kosslyn âI can imagine that! It must be a good place.â Guy R. I think I'll drop in on them sometime. Do you suppose I could get a job?â John W. âOh without a doubt. Their cornet player was almost as bad as you so you wouldn't have a great dealof trouble! Hattie Z. I didnât tell you but I visited Europe two years ago and there I saw Maurice Ostrofsky at the head of a band of Bolsheviks. He was lecturing to beat the band with his hair all wild and every- thing. I got so scared I left pretty quick! John W. Fraid cat! Hattie Z. Oh don't be so sarcastic! I guess that isnât all I saw! John W. No? Hattie No! Helen R. Oh. Hattie don't let him both- er you he does'nt know any better. Who else did you see? Hattie Well, it just happened that we had the chance to take a trip into Turkey and there was Loren Graham silting on a bunch of grass as the Sultan! Guy Hattie! How could you? You didn't really see him doing that? Hattie Yes, and he had a whole bunch of wives in his harem, he was something of a shiek at High School. Alice I know he was but he never seem- ed to be-well-awful like that! Hattie I know it. You see he had I.clha Bloomingd.de and Forest Beal near him to help him remember the names of his wives. Rosslyn C. Well I think he's a big nut! He doesn't know what lieâs missing, thatâs all! Guy R. Iâll say lie doesnât! Why didnât he go to Spain anil be a bull fighter like Brooks Maccracken. Why Brooks makes lots of money, fights at least one bull a day and has his nurse right with him so when In- gets hurt well then lieâs alright. Alice H. Who is the nurse? Guy R. Last one was Annabelle Withani but she got religious and didn't believe in bull fights so she quit. Now he has Frances Turner and sheâs fine. Sheâll go out into the arena with him and attract the bull then run back and patch him up when heâs sensclcsss. Dorothy D. I wouldn't like that! Helen R. Here either! By crackie! Rosslyn C. Then what do you say to doing as Francis King did Just leave everything and everybody and go live as a hermit eat berries and shrubs and herbs . and wear rags! Alice H. How on earth did that ever come about? Rosslyn C. .Oh. he proposed to one girl after another and they all refused him and he was so shocked he hasnât recovered! Helen R. Well lie's a nut' Thatâs all! Hattie Z. I agree! I'd rather be like Ruth Kneller and her kindergarden teacher of pickannies. Alice H. Is Ruth a teacher? 1 thought Laureta Halderman hail that job! Hattie Z. Laureta does have a class but only those that Ruth canât manage. Rosslyn C. I'll bet thatâs some bunch! Guy R. So do I' That would be about as much fun as what Alice Griffith is doing. She's a' §oup-box orator and stands on.'a corner id a black dress handing out literature to show how bencfical it is for children to wash with soap and water. Dorothy D. Thatâs not half bad. She means well. Rossslyn C. Mebbe so! Mebbe so! But I have my doubts. Alice H. Without a doubt! I suppose you want to be a second Mary Ruff or Nora Engle who are both matrons of child- rens' homes teaching children to appreciate their blesssings. Rosslyn C. Is zat so? Well I guess not! If they want to do that, all right, but I can imagine myself making fifty kids mind me! John W, 1 can too! I understand Anne Murtaugh has an orphans home and spends all her time giving the gymnastics. Alice H. How did sh and Moody ever seperate? They were almost inseparable at school. Helen R. They didnât separate Pauline looks out for the cooking and care of the children and letâs Anne do the rest. Hattie Z. I imagine that works very well Iâm glad I'm not one of the orphans however' Guy R. Here too! Dorothy I). Well, 1 suppose we could sit here and talk forever but I really must go. Regular hours for me! John W, Yes, Dorothy itâs time you practice some, or restâwhich is it? Dorothy D. It doesn't matter. Iâm glad to have seen all of you and do please come to my home the first chance you get. All Thanks. Page Forty-five Mil SENIORS Alice H. You must come again and give us some more music soon. John YV. All right, we will. So long. All Goodbye. Rosslyn C. Au revoir. Guy R. You big simp! Do you know what that means? Rosslyn C. Sure God bless you. Why? Guy R. 1 just wandered. You must be taking French lessons from Mildred Van Gundy. She teaches them on S. Broad St. Rosslyn C. Glad to hear it. Thanks! Alice 11. Now donât start a fuss again, we just had enough of that. Mattie Z. I'll say we did. One would think you fellows had signed up with the prize fight manageress, Adalene Reef, who takes care of all of that. Helen R. Letâs have things peaceful and remember that we hail some preachers in our class as well as light managers! All Who? Helen R. Well, one is Robert Veidt, of the Presbyterian Church. Rosslyn C. Gosh! Helen R. Another is Russell Miesse of the Holy Rollers. Alice H. Thatâs enough! Hattie Z. Yes. and Violet Cush and Ruth Hudson are both high deoconesses in churches. They can make the hardest sinners relent by looking at them. Guy R. I don't doubt that! I'd relent ten . rather than let them get hold of me! Alice H. Compliments thick and fast! Dili you know that Ruth Fishbaugh and Goldie White had recently entered the movie contest to win beauty prizes? Helen R. âFine! Fine! There's room for me yet! No one around here has ever gotten in the movies yet so what's the use of trying? Hattie Z. Oh, yes they have, you forget that Belva Spurgeon has taken Gloria Swansonâs place and that Dwight Kane is a second Thomas Meighan. Rosslyn C. Thatâs all right too. but you seldom hear of them do you? I feel sometimes like doing as Frank Johnson did, just grab your girl and- drag her off to the ends of the earth and make her walk the chalk. Alice H. Where has he dragged her to now? The last time it was to California to pick up gold nuggets. Rosslyn C. Well they arc down in Africa now hunting diamonds. Ida Lutz found a diamond ring all ready made and Nada Martin just has diamonds in every- thing.â Helen R. Pretty soft if you believe that! It sounds like Frank alright. Evi- dently he hasn't changed a particle.â Hattie Z. He hasn't! The last time they were home lie rode on the strce.t car and bawled out Leo Klise who was the con- ductor, for not speeding up the car for him. Guy R. Well, there are worse things than that imagine being like Ellen Friend just because she married a rich man she can't even smell things as others do. Alice H. That is pretty bad. as a con- trast just think how sweet both Mabel Green and Marjorie are. They both mar- ried wealthy men but you'd never know it. Helen R. That's the idea! Don't let them pull any rough stuff or they'll come to the same place Marguerite Thrush and Oleta Rider came to. Alice H. How is that? Guy R. They both lost their heads and ran into bankruptcy and now they take contracts for scrubbing sidewalks when it rains. Hattie Z. That's what I call hard luck. Why didn't they go with Ireta Blazer and Mary Thrush as missionaries to the Eski- mos? It isn't so very cold up there and anything would be better than that. Guy R. But theyâre satisfied, so why worry?â Alice H. You folks would be almost as hard to please ns Irene Tucker and Marie Darling. They didn't know what they wanted to do and they had so many sug- gestions that they had to hire Elizabeth Rees to be their secretary and keep an account of them. Rosslyn C. Well I yuess I'm satisfied and all I want is plenty ol room and com- fort. Helen R. Fire! Fire! Where is it?â Hattie Z. I don't know! Run to the window! Alice H. Of all things! Carmen Du- mont as fire chief and Stanford Ballmer ringing the bell! Letâs go see it.â All Let'sâ They rush out as curtain drops. Alice M.

S. and all of its good times. The welcome was given by Mr. Hickson. The new teachers in L. H. S. for the year â24 to â25, Miss Clark and Miss Richards were introduced by Miss Perfect. The cheers and songs were led by Miss Howey of the Y. W. C. A. Staysâ JHixer For the purpose of furthering good fellowship among the freshman and the upper classmen a boys mixer meeting was conducted by the ili-Y on September 8th, 1924. Two hundred boys attended this meeting. The chairman was Brooks Maccracken who proved himself worthy as he al- ways does. Mr. Hickson gave the welcome address. Mr. Wallace and Mr. Wilson both gave fine talks to the boys. The boys sang high school songs and gave yells and so made themselves thoroughly acquainted with L. H. S. But what they liked most of all, and I guess none of us are ex- ceptions, were the good eats that followed. FRESHMEN Abdulla, Marie Allen. Relna Arnold, Maxine Barnes. Dorothy Bender. Caroline Black.

LANCASTER JOHNSON Business Manager JJurplr Jirpppr The Purple Pepper was founded in October 1924 by John A. Stover and Prank Lancaster Johnson. The aim of this weekly lias been to place before the student body all the news of the school, all incidents of interest anti clean humor. These subjects have been worked out in various ways with the hope of producing: greater interest in the paper and we think that to a certain extent we have succeeded. However we have not been as successful as we might have wished because our aim was high; we wanted everyone in L. H. S. to be a regular purchaser of this paper but such is not the case. However we fully appreciate the fact that this yearâs work has made Purple Pepper an integral part of this school, and as such we want it to continue. The staff has worked exceedingly well each one being vitally interes- ted in each isue of the'paper and desiring improvement for the next. The faculty also has shown great interest in this work. The Class of '25 can rightly be proud of having been the pioneers of this successful enterprise. «rmtrus pepper JOHN I.. WORK GEORGE I). MARTIN II. II.

The club of L. H. S. is under the supervision of Mr. R. C. Smart and it has done some very fine things the past year. The Hi-Y had charge of the First Annual Father and Sons Banquet and the Boysâ Mixer Meeting. The most worth while accomplishment of the club during tlie past year was the conducting of the Vocational Guidance Campaign through which the students heard many educational talks and the boys received the privilege to have an interview with any of the speakers who were:âRev.

In addition to the fact that it has been the largest and best in the school, several new instruments have been added to the orchestra ensemble.

It has rendered stirring music for all of the ââthuse meetingsâ and athletic events of the past year, and in the Second Annual Revue presented a program of several fine numbers. A much-deserved honor was accorded the band when Mi. Wainwright of Fostoria, Ohio, chose six of its members to play in his All-State Hand at Memorial Hall on December 30th, 1924.

This quartette, organized early in the year, was composed of Walter Oberdorfer, 2nd bass; Loren Graham, lstbass; Clinton Cloud, 2nd tenor, and Guy Hockey, 1st tenor. Their initial ap- pearance was made at the Second Annual Revue given by the Boys Glee Club and their numbers were greeted with great applause. After this the quartette was in great demand not only for school activities but for various club entertainments and they were very popular during the entire year. They sang numbers varying from classical to those in negro dialect and popular songs. Later in the year Darrell Crumley took Guy Hockeyâs place in the quartette. We hope that L. 11. S. will have a successful quartette next year.

Page Seventy-six Hinmirarit Srhatimt nrirty Through tin efforts of this yearâs debating teams an Honorary De- bate Soc iety was formed on tin evening of April 23rd, 1925 in Room 41. The « l)jeet is to have an Honorary I Jebating Society for I.. II. S. with only those members of teams which debate class A high schools being elegible. The charter members are the first debating teams of this year, composed of Brooks Maccracken, Helen R6by. Frank Johnson, W ilber Stammler. Evelyn Robb, John Work, Paul Henry and Relva Boyer. This society will hold an annual banquet at the end of each year that the old members can become acquainted with the now debaters. We believe this is a good step in advancing the prestige of debating and that this organization will become a credit to our school. Much praise is due to Wilber Stammler and Frank Johnson for originating this idea. As this yearâs debating teams have organized this society so they have the honor of selecting the insignia of this society. They have chosen pins as the honor. These pins will only be given to those students on the de- bating teams who belong to the society and have debated class A high schools. This pin has been selected as the standard and all of those who are privileged to receive this honor in the following years will get the same kind of pins. Thus the pin will be an honor anyone should want to possess and we feel that this should persuade more students to go out for debating next year. We have just ended the most successful year of de- bating that L. H. S. has ever seen and feel proud of having won the triangle. Through the excellent coaching of R. C. Smart we feel that L. II. S. should produce another such good team next year and so retain the laurels of debate in L. H. S. Shermanâs ideas were clear and rapid, coming indeed almost too fast for utterance but in dramatic, brilliant form. DEBATE Âźhp (Hoarh Along with all the praises given to the members of the debating teams, who recently concluded the most successful season in the history of Lancaster High School, let us give a certain amount of praise to R. C. Smart who coached the teams. Al- though he could not speak from the platform yet he gave the teams no inconsiderable aid. Let us remem- ber that some credit must always go to the man behind the scenes. R. C. Smart this year had the most successful teams that he ever put on the forensic platform, either at Gal- ion or at Lancaster. This was due to the fact that five of the eight de- bators were veterans, namely, Wil- ber Stammler, Brooks Maccracken, Krank Johnson, Relva Boyer and R. C. SMAR I Lvelyn Robb. Debating Instructor Nevertheless, the fact that he had experienced material to work with does not detract from the credit due the Coach. You will have to go far to get a better coach than R. C. Smart. âThe Teams (Elfe (Seams Recently I read a beautiful poem, the first stanza of which I quote: âWork, work, work. Work, work, Work, work, work.â Such is the life of a debater. If there were but one term that I would be permitted to use in characterizing the debaters of I.. H. S. it would be: The Ability and Inclination to Work. In following this principle two results are to be noted: first, the in- dividual members have received a training that will be beneficial to them in successfully meeting problems in the future. In the second place we find a lasting result in that the audiences who heard our teams learned much, for comments from all were to the effect that the Lancaster debaters knew the Child Labor Amendment. Therefore, I take this opportunity to most highly congratulate each individual debater for the ability and inclination he or she has to do real work. âR. C. Smart - VV . :i :r : âą; r. k. âą : TJE 19 cH . «; Âźlje âą S âą' â V 1- ' Wilber Stammler, Helen Roby and Brooks Maccracken with Relva Boyer as alternate made up one of the best affirmative teams produced by L. H. S. Their first debate was at home on February 13th. when they defeated Circlevillc 3 0. The next debate, this being in jthe semi-finals was at Portsmouth where this team journeyed on February 27th, and were defeated. All of tho members of this team were Seniors anti no team ever worked together better. Wilber had the fire, Helen the sob-sister stuff, arid Brooks the calmness. So without a doubt this team deserves much praise in helping L. II. S. win the triangle for the year 1925. ;ro r Page Eighty ts': Sherman was witty, eloquent, sar- castic and logical, every attribute of his person or temper indicated genius. Âźl]e Negati e Frank Johnson, Evelyn Robb and John Work with Paul Henry as alternate composed a fine negative team, which did everything possible to give L. H. S. honors in debating. The negative first debated at Wash- ington C. H. on February 13 and won 2-1. Their other debate in the semi- finals was at home when they defeated Athens 2-1. This team worked together in a fine way and showed how by co-operation we can win. The question was, âResolved, That the Federal Child Labor Constitution Amendment should bo ratified by the State of Ohio.â And they proved twice that it should not, so that is the reason Congress did not make it an amendment. They did fire work and there were two Seniors on this team whom L. H. S. hates to lose. Page Eighty-one DRAMATICS âQlftterMes.â The first Senior play given this year was âTweedles,â a comedy by Booth Tarkington. It is the story of Julian, scion of the blue-blooded Castleburys, who falls in love with Winsora Tweedle, daughter of the oldest family in a Maine village. The Tweedles esteem the name because it has been rooted in the community for two hundred years, and they look down on the âsummer peopleâ with the vigor that only âsummer boarderâ communities know. The Castleburys are aghast at the possi- bility of a match, and call on the Tweedles to urge how impossible such an alliance would be. Mr. Castlebury laboriously explains the barrier of social caste, and the elder Tweedles takes it that these unimportant sum- mer folks are terrified at the social eminence of the Tweedles. Tweedles generously agree to co-operate with the Castleburys to pre- vent the match. But Winsora brings her father to realize that in reality the Castleburys look upon them as inferiors. The old man is infuriated and threatens vengeance, but is checkmated when Julian unearths a num- ber of family skeletons and argues that father isnât a Tweedlc, since the blood has been so diluted that little remains. Also, Winsora takes the matter into her own hands and outfaces the old man. So the youngsters go forth triumphant. Miss Portner directed the play and deserves much praise for the fine manner in which it was presented. The cast, too. was an excellent one.

Page Eighty-three «e OKA MAT ICS âJ econb Annual Rc ue.â Act D te The Boys' Glee Club this year presented their Black and White Revue and at- tained a marked triumph for the second time. The boys worked very hard on the production and were forced to endure several misfortunes at the last minute, but in spite of this, the success was unquestion' ble. The Revue was divided into three pa.ts, the fust being entitled ' The I'.olic of ti e Jockeys. As the cut tain iosc, these appeared against a black background, a group of scarlet-clad jockeys seated on the stage in a semicircle. In the center, dressed in a white satin Tuxedo, stood the inter- locutor. The effect was startling and gorgeous.

Page Eighty-five DRAMATICS uW t JMaih m h Âźl|r jUflibbuâ In presenting the annual operetta this year the Boysâ and Girlsâ Glee Clubs of the High School combined the talents of both organizations. The operetta was entitled, âThe Maid and the Middy,â the libretto being written by David Stevens and the music by George L. Tracy. It was giv- en on Thursday and Friday, April 16th and 17th and was declared to have been the best musical production ever presented at Lancaster High.

Young MenâGuy Rockey, Clinton Cloud, George Rabe. MiddiesâHarold Marburger, Billy Gosling, Billy Rade- baugh, Wayne Barrows, Leonard Rockey. Solo dances by Mary Jane Graven and Isabel MeClanahan added greatly to the beauty of the operetta. The Liberty Battalion made up of boys from the elementary schools brought about another striking scene. The business managers of the operetta were John Work, John Rauch, and William Prather. They deserve great praise for their work as does Miss Secoy, who spent so much time coaching the production. To Mary Zeisler, who provided splendid accompaniment for the operetta and to the orchestra assisting her, much credit should be given. DRAMATICS Act I takes place in the grounds of the Lakeville Boat Club. The occasion is the annual regatta of the Lakeville Boat Club made unusually gay by the presence, as guests, of Captain Dasher of the L. S. S. âDread- naughtâ and a number of his middies. Among the latter is Billy, a vivacious youth who very soon gets into the good graces of Valerie Vane and seems to be in a fair way to become generally popular, when the appearance of the Count somewhat clouds his prospects. The Count dis- turbs Mrs. Gaily and Dawson, influential members of the club, by mak- ing charges against Billy involving what appears to be a case of ab- duction of a certain mysterious Anita, evidently of Spanish origin. Cir- cumstances prevent the Count from immediately confronting Billy, who, it must be confessed, lends some color to the accusation by studiously avoiding the Count. But eventually the latter arouses the suspicions of Evans and Fitz, two officials of the club, who undertake to look into the matter. Meanwhile the regatta has taken place, and a general assembly of all the party to congratulate Valerie the unexpected winner of the race, affords an opportunity for the Count to denounce Billy. Billy tries to defend himself and promises an explanation, but sentiment is against him and the scene closes with a display of bravado from Billy and a feeling of distrust on the part of his new acquaintances, not to mention the downright sorrow freely expressed by Valerie. Act II takes place in the interior of the club house. Billyâs affairs are not permitted to disturb the plans that have been made for enter- taining Captain Dasher and the other guests. A vaudeville has been arranged for the evening and under the capable direction of Evans, is carried through with success. Meanwhile, Valerie, who has apparently reflected on Hillyâs predicament and decided that the matter cannot be so i---------1.-.1 _i---- ââ-ncy to put more faith in 5 to disguise herself as a larmless amusement with , but Billy detects her at hich he is to be fully re- Anita.

The final Senior play or the commencement play was given in the High School Auditorium on the nights of Monday and Tuesday, June first and second. This great drama has played throughout the United States and many foreign countries, scoring a great hit, and everywhere trebling its chances for return engagements. When Miss Fortner decided to give this drama as the commencement play, she set about l pick the best cast possible to procure in the Senior Class, or in the High School. With an all-star cast selected, she started on intensive rehearsals covering a period ot seven weeks. âą â ' â - .......n - ⹠⹠«⹠âąâąâą v â | âą âą i 11 â .r determination to make society pay, for the wrongs inflicted, after she is released from prison. The play embodies many scenes of intricate dram- atic situations, -which call forth the utmost vitality from each individual member of the cast. A large number of the cast are practically veterans in class plays and school theatricals, and they find that their previous experience is an invaluable aid to them in obtaining the desired effects in this extremely difficult production. Some who have had extensive experience in this line of work are, Ralph Hammitt, Frank Johnson, Brooks Maccracken, John Work, Edwin Davies, Rachel Belle Ricketts, and Rosslyn Cline. Dorothy DeLancy, playing the part of Miss Mary Turner, is excep- tionally fine in her role, adapting herself to dramatic situations, varying in intensity from frivilous laughter to deep emotion. We are sure that it would have been very hard to secure anyone to play this difficult role more effectively. Without an apology, we think that Miss Fortner is the most efficient and competent play coach that Lancaster High has ever had. She has coached every play that the class of 1925 has presented and we feel that she has made every one of them a marked success, especially our com- mencement play, âWitin The Law.â We want to heartily thank Miss Fortner for her time and patience, in putting the class of 1925 to the front in the field of dramatic activities, at Lancaster High School, and we also feel without question of a doubt that she has accomplished this end.

A large number of the class were present for the party which was chaperoned by Mr. Sands. Mr. Jackson and Mr. K. J. Wil- son. the class advisor. The fun consisted chiefly in having the boys roast weiners and marshmallows for the girls. Stories were told and games were also played after which the merry party returned home. JUNIOR HALLOWEâEN PARTY The Class of â26 enjoyed a Halloweâen Party on October 30, 1924. The party was held at Camp Ro and was chaperoned by Miss Clark. Miss Long, Mr. Sands and Mr. Wilson. Many games and contests were played and about nine oâclock delicious re- freshments were served. It was at this time that Mr. Wilson received the nick- name of Weine Wilsonâ and Mr. Sands Cider Sands. Bill Prather also contri- buted to the fun by falling into a little pond. After the refreshments had been enjoyed the party returned home all worn out from laughing but very happy. SOPHOMORE HALLOWEâEN PARTY The Sophomore Class of Lancaster High School enjoyed a Halloweâen party on Octo- ber 30 at the old school near Crawfis. Ffty- live members of the class attended and a large part of the evening was spent in guessing the masqueraders and playing games. Delicious refreshments of dough- nuts, candy and cider were served at the party which was chaperoned by Mr. Sands, Miss Clark. Miss Long and Mr. Wilson. JUNIOR SPREAD On February 20th the class of 1926 held a spread in the high school gym. A small number of the class turned out to the spread due to many other things going on. Music and games furnished the amusement and delicious refreshments satisfied their appetites. On this occasion Miss Griffith was the chaperone. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman class had its first party February 24. They attended the picture show Uncle Tom's Cabinâ at the high school. After the theatre the party pro- ceeded to An tillâs where they enjoyed music (which was furnished mostly by Mr. Sand's nickels) and laugher. LATIN CLUB THi ATRe. PARTY Members and guests of the Latin Club of L. 11. S. motored to Circleville Thursday evening, April 23, 1925 and enjoyed a movie. The picture was entitled The Devilâs Cargoâ and the club was kept busy trying to find out the cargo. Mr. Jackson proved more entertaining than the pictu.e show, by enlightening the party on the sub- ject of Matrimony.â On the return a goose-chase was held in Amanda but no one wai seriously injured in running down the elusive birds. After attending the show the club proceeded to the ice cream parlor and for some reason known only to the members Mr. Jackson kept running back and forth acrosss the street and was hardly able to stop long enough to drink his soda. The party was chaperoned by Miss Griffith. Miss Deffcnbaugh and Mr. Guy Jackson. LANCASTER HIGH SCHOOL CIRCUS On May 8, 1925, L. H. S. held a circus, the first of its kind and it proved a great suc- cess. Every class, organization or club was able to participate. Each organiza- tion put on a stunt and the best one was given the money taken in at the door. The stunts were all fine and showed much hard work. Much talent was shown by those Page Eighty-nine SOCIETY participating in the stunts and we predict a great success on the stage for some of our more talented school friends. This circus is the first of its kind in L. H. S., but having proved such a success we hope the school may see fit to continue this annual event in the coming years. LITERARY WEINER ROAST Literary society held a wcincr roast in May at Camp Ro. We all have a good time at literary meetings yet we are sure everyone had a better time at the socia' affair. The society was well chaperoned by members of the faculty. The cats were especially good and much credit is due the social committee composed of Frank John- son. Helen Roby and Billy Radcbaugh. Let's have some more wc-iner roasts. Liter- ary! DEBATE ANNUAL PICNIC Wednesday evening, April 29. 1925 the Debate Team of L. H. S. held their annual picnic. The supper was given at the school in the domestic science room. Everyone agreed that this was one of the best sup- pers ever served. After the banquet part of the program the members motored to Logan to see a picture show. Great fun was obtained through this. One special feature of the evening occurred at the show at Logan. The pianist, a modern flapper, quit playing soon after the show began to meet her beau, so John Work de- cided he would take her place and did so, playing his famous 'Devilâs Dance' through out the show. Those who enjoyed the event were: Brooks Maccracken, Wilber Stammler, Helen Roby, Relva Boyer. John Work, Frank Johnson, Evelyn Robb, Paul Henry. Paul Bluine, Donna Prather. Paul Ulmer and Mr. R. C. Smart who assumed the responsibility of chaperone. SENIOR WEINER ROAST Members of the Senior Class enjoyed a weiner roast at Camp Roe. April 9th. There were about fifty present although the par- ty was lacking in members of the fairer sex due to bad weather. The whole party being duly chaperoned by Mr. E. J. Wilson enjoyed roasted wein- ers and toasted marshmallows. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior Class of L. H. S. delightfully entertained the Senior Class at the annual banquet on May 14. at the Elksâ Home. A large number from both classes were pres- ent and the hall was tastefully decorated in green, white and gold those being the colors of both classes. Splendid talks were received with en- thusiasm from Miss Aten and Mr. Phillips. A feature of the program was a senior boys impersonation of different members of the faculty. This banquet was as usual the climax of all the social activities of L. H. S. Sherman was boiling over with ideas, crammed full of feeling, dis- cussing every subject and pronounc- ing on all.

MANUFACTURING Mr. Walkey explained manufacturing, a business which is a main factor in our country. JOURNALISM Adrian Fuller brought us the message of journalism. Although we have no class in journalism in L. H. S. there should be some journalists among us. MEDICINE ENGINEERING Walter Graf told us about surveying. He told about the different kinds of work in engineering and the great opportunity. He presented his work as a manâs work in a manâs way. TEACHING Our superintendent, Mr. Phillips, told us what is most in his heart. He defined a good teacher and how to be one. Mr. Phi Hips has been in the school work for many years and is certainly a successful example. Dr. Mondhank traced medical science from the beginning of time. Surely a pro- fession of such value would be worth while as a life work. SALESMANSHIP Mr. Johnson, real estate man, talked on selling things. Mr. Johnson is certainly sold with his idea and is determined to have all his hearers sold. Weâve all de- cided to buy lots on East Sixth Ave. Mr Pe.tty and Mr. Kutz were on the platform for this last program. In clos- ing Mr. Kutz left with us the thought that we must work. work, to win. 0 Page Ninety-two ALMANAC Âźl{c Almanac Tuesday. September 2. First day of school.

Âź{je 3foot ?all Reason Lancaster High School's football season was not the most encourag- ing: but we may in many ways condone the rather poor showing that the team made. In the first place the boys had a hard time getting into the swing of things. The first few games were discouraging because the team itself lost heart, but before the season was far advanced the boys caught the true spirit of athletics in the schoolânot to win games, merely, but to show a true sportsmanâs grit, and from that moment on, although games were often lost, yet the team fought bravely till the final whistle in every contest and no one could ever say that Lancaster High did not always play a clean, plucky game of football. We had a team composed mainly of lower classmen or of Seniors playing their first season at football. We played against strong teams as we always do, and, though we lost, maintained the high standards of sportsmanship for which L. H. S. is known. We will enter te 1925 season with almost a veteran team arid can hope for a glorious season. Page Ninety-eight F X)TBALL KEELEY Keeley was a mainstay of the team because of his ability in punting and end running He started the sea- son as guard and later was shifted to half-back. LANTZ Lantz was kept out of the lineup on account of in- juries for the greater part of the season, but proved an excel- lent center when he was able to play. (Barnes SELBY Selby made the t e a m in hi s Freshman year and was partic- ularly skillful in tackling. WELI-STON September 27 In spite of a brave light the Lancaster boys, outweighed almost ten pounds to the man, bowed to a 31 to 13 defeat before Wellston in their opening game at Miller Park. Wellston scored early in the game, the ball being carried by Kruscamp after sev- eral big gains through the line. Most of Wellstonâs scoring was done by long runs. Kruscamp's of seventy yards in the third quarter being the largest. Lancaster tried every means of attack without avail until in the last quarter for- ward passes brought two touchdowns, de- ceiving passes from Haines, Veidt carried the ball over the line twice. At other times during the game Haines passed to Veidt for gains of 15, 20 and 25 yards. COSHOCTON October -1 The team went to Coshocton with fire in their eyes. For a long time they scented destined to another defeat. In the second quarter Elder of Coshocton kicked a goal from the 28 yard line giving his team their only score. The third quarter passed without either team scoring. In the last quarter Coshoc- ton forced the ball to out five-yard line. Then when our chances seemed smallest Keeley broke away for a twenty yard run around end. On the next play Haines passed to Veidt for thirty-five yards. Safe in Coshoctonâs territory Lancaster finally carried the ball to the 15 yard line. Then Haines shot a pass to Noice who ran over the goal for our only touchdown. A few minutes later the game ended with the Page Ninety-nine FOOT BA 1.1. NOICE Although h e was only a Fresh- man. Noice won distinction by his brilliant play- ing at halfback. REED Reed played his first season on the football team this year. He will be a Senior next year and we ex- pect that he will develop into a strong player. BITLER Though handi- capped by being so small. Biller made the team in h i s Sophomore year and served t h e school well playing a t left end. score 6 to 3 and we cam- home victorious. NEWARKâOctober II Lancaster was defeated 33 to 0 by New- ark on a hot Indian summer day. Newark scored in each of the first three quarters and twice in the last. The charges of Brickies contributed largely to our defeat. The third Newark touchdown was made by him on an 80 yard run. This does not say that our boys did not put up a good fight. Keeley especially played a good game. He made several end runs and large gains and did well on line plays. His most outstanding work was his punting. Lancaster's aerial attack failed sadly in the Newark game. The visiting team had too strong a defense for our boys to make very heavy gains by any attack. PORTSMOUTH -October 24 Lancaster entered this game against heavy odds and a heavy team. Since many of our regulars had left the team we began the game with many new players. If a team can ever be glorious in defeat Lancaster was this day. The first quarter our new line never gave in. but the strain proved too great and we suffered a defeat which seemed inevitable under the cir- cumstances. Among the new players who fought so pluckily against Portsmouth were: Baumgardner, Reed, Fisher and Moore. Before the game an airship of the Scott aviators dropped the ball wrapped with purple and gold streamers uport the field. The final score was 73 to 0. WESTERVILLE- November 1 The game at Westerville ended in a heart-rending 6 to 0 defeat. Some folks were inclined to blame it on the referee whom Lancaster and Westerville students alike considered utterly incompetent. But. defeated or not. the team played a splendid game; indeed, they outplayed Westerville for most of the game to such an extent that the ball was hardly ever out of West- Page One Hundred FOOTBALL FISHER Fisher gained a varsity posi- tion although he was a Freshman and played well at center. HAINES Haines has been a 1 e p c n dable quarterback f o i three years. He graduates this year and his ser- vices will he sorely missed on next yearâs team.

Lancaster nearly scored in the last quarter when Haines made a place-kick from the 30 yard line that bare- ly missed going between the goal posts. Westenbarger was captain of the team in this game as in the one with Portsmouth, but the regular line-up was back in the game again. There was no outstanding hero in this game. It was one of straight football and played well by both teams. MURRAY CITY November 8 Lancaster made a strong come-back in this game which turned out to he a victory for us by the score of 29 to 6. Our best gains were made by Keeley on end runs and by Veidt on line plunges. Some ex- cellent forward passing was done by- Haines. his best pass being one to Acton which was good for 31 yards. Veidt made our first touchdown in the first quarter. Murray City soon came back at us and scored once also. Both teams were weak- on defense but Lancasterâs backfield was able to pound its way through Murray- City faster than they could get through our line. Haines and Acton each scored a touchdown in the second quarter and Haines crossed the goal again in the last frame. Our other points were gained by a safety. ATHENS November 15 Athens was too fast for us and our final home game ended in a 54 to 0 defeat. The visitors possessed a marathon racer who had a bad habit of getting started at just the wrong times and running never less than half the length of the field for his touchdowns. The ladâs name was Algeo and his first run was for 80 yards after which he made several more. At different periods Lancaster showed excellent form although they never threat- Page One Hundred One DARBYSHIRE REINSCHIELD ACTON FOOTBALL Darbyshire was unable t o play much in 1923 but made a good showing this year at tackle.

At one time, however, on successive plays they made three forward passes which gained 47 yards for the team. Every one missed Harry Keeley from the lineup. His in- juries indeed caused us all distress, for we felt certain that with his skill to help his comrades the defeat would not have been so crushing. CHILLICOTHEâNovember 22 This game was played at ChiUicothe, and the town or something seemed to bring us bad luck all the way around. In the first place we lost 60 to 0. Moreover, the casualty list included almost the en- tire team, though fortunately there were no serious injuries. All of Lancasterâs fol- lowers were impressed with the exceptional playing of Captain Eby of the home team. Lantz acted as team captain for this game in the absence of Westenbarger. MT. VERNON- -November 27 The Thanksgiving game was played away from home and was the last one of the season. The game was played mostly by straight football although Haines made several successful passes, the longest one being the last play of the game. This pass was caught by Vcidt, who made 38 yards on the play Mt. Vernon played the first half with a second-string backfield, but their strongest players were sent in the last part of the game. The substitu- tion helped their score none for they made two touchdowns in each half. The final score was 26 to 0 against us. Six of our boys, Acton, Veidt. Keeley, Lantz, Haines, and Foreman played their last football game for Lancaster High. The greater part of our team was composed of under classmen, and we hope that with them in the line-up L. H. S. will have a successful season next year. Rage One Hundred Two BASKETBALL IBousâ basket ÂŁ8all j eascm As usual Lancaster High had a very successful season at basketball. Three regulars had been lost by graduation from the champion 1924 team but Keeley, Lantz, Haines, Baumgardner and Wilson, all letter men. were left, and Veidt, a seasoned athlete made the team easily and proved to be a strong guard. Under the leadership of Harry Keeley the team got a fine start and won game after game. We met our match in Newark, however, and bowed to our first defeat. The team made a two-daysâ trip to Mount Vernon and Lima and re- turned after having played two of the best teams in northern Ohio and beaten them both. This was the longest trip a Lancaster High School team had ever made and is an event in school history. After the Lima trip, our team was badly crippled by the illness of Lantz and Veidt, and the showing made the last part of the season, al- though very creditable, was not so remarkable as that made before the mid-year examinations. Noice, Dilger, Bauman and Reinscheild were members of the team who did excellent work and will probably be seen often next year. The second team, captained by Bob Acton also made a splendid showing. Page One Hundred Three BASKETBALL Âźljc (Sames RUSHVILLE- December 19 Lancaster opened the season with an easy victory by the score of 29 to 8. Haines led in number of points made with eleven to his credit. The Rushvillc team made only one basket owing to the skillful guarding of Wilson and Veidt. Keeley, playing his first game as captain, proved his right to the honor by all-around good playing. COSHOCTON January 9 Haines started this game off right with a basket. Lantz made two more within thirty seconds from each other. After that our boys had everying just as they wanted it and soundly defeated Coshocton, the final score being 28 to 7. Lantz made five baskets during the game several of which were either very long shots or thrown from a difficult angle. W EST ER V1LLEâJan u ary 16 Lancaster won this game by an over- whelming score. Our opponents used ten men in a futile attempt to stop the scor- ing. The score was 29 to 6 at the end of the first half but the final count was 38 to 16. Wilson and Lantz each scored six baskets and Haines got four. A merry band of rooters followed the teams to Westerville and returned well pleased with the showing. NEWARKâJanuary 23 Although Lancaster lost this game by a sco.e of 12 to 2, they fought hard and the game was much more closely contested than the score indicates. The Newark de- fense was so strong that our boys were re- quired to make most-of their shots from the center of the floor. Five of these shots came so close to going through the basket that every one held his breath. Our one basket was made by Ted Wilson on a fine throw. MT. VERNONâJanuary 30 This game was the most exciting one of the season. The score was tied often dur- ing the game and two overtime periods of five minutes each were needed to decide the contest.

Of these he made six fouls out of six attempts. LIMAâJanuary 31 Lancaster won another close victory here obtaining 22 points to their powerful op- ponents 13. Lima had beaten all the lead- ing teams of northern Ohio. The leading scorer of this game was Wilson, who made nine of the teamâs points. The trip to Mt. Vernon and Lima is one that will stand out in the history of athletics at L. H. S. VV EST ER VI LLEâFebruary 6 Lancaster laid their ancient rivals low for a second time when they beat Wester- ville 24 to 15. Our boys were trailing 11 to S at the half, but got their bearings at the close of the game and came through with colors flying. Keeley was the great star of the game and shot four baskets. All the rest of the team showed their good old championship form all through the last half. NEWARKâFebruary 13 On Friday the thirteenth the Lancaster High team bowed for a second time to Newark and Brickies, the score being 26 to 17. The peerless Newark forward made five baskets and two fouls. Haines, our leading scorer, did almost as well with three field and three foul goals.

Ver- non was weakened by the loss of their star player, Pugh. Eleven of our points were made by Wilson and Haines, six by the for- ino-e and five by the latter. ATHENSâFebruary 23 The most striking thing about this game was the peculiar behavior of the Athens team. They forgot that they werenât still trying to beat us in football and conse- quently will not likely be given another opportunity to do so. In spite of such an unusual reception Lancaster made the best of affairs and put up a sturdy resistance. They were beaten 17 to 11. COSHOCTONâFebruary 27 Lancaster lost a thrilling contest at Coshocton by the score of lf to 15. The score was tied at the end of the first half, each team having 8 points. Our boys made more field goals than their opponents but succeeded in making only one of their free throws good while Coshocton made four. Haines led the team in scoring again with seven points. COLUMBUS SOUTH HIGHâMarch 6 This game was played at the Delaware tournament and though the team lacked the services of Lantz, Veidt and Baumgard- ner, it made a strong fight against South distinguished himself by holding Cutchins, High and lost by the score, 18 to 12.

ALUMNIâMarch 21 Our boys got a poor start and by the end of the third quarter were 12 to 6 to the bad. Then Haines got started and doubled our score for us, but the Alumni made one more basket while he was doing so, and we lost in the end by the score 14 to 12. Haines was by far our best scorer in this game and Schromme starred for the Alumni. L. II. S.

Anne Murtaugh had been selected as captain and was very capable in that position. Although the team did not make any record equal to those of the two previous years, nevertheless it upheld the reputation which the girlsâ basketball teams in Lancaster High have earned. It lost only three games during the whole season, and all these three games were lost to teams which we defeated at other times during the season. Westerville defeated us early in th seeason but we got revenge on them at the Armory. With the Plains and Coshocton also we broke even. One of our most important victories was over the Alumnae team which was composed of the stars of several teams which had won cham- pionships for L. H. S. The outlook for next year is good and we are hoping for a sixth suc- cessful season for the High School girls who will be led by Mary Hutsler.

Carroll never succeeded in mak- ing a goal from the floor. Foreman was the leading scorer, being credited with five baskets. COSHOCTONâJanuary 9 Although they were facing a veteran team the Lancaster girls got an early lead on Coshocton which they increased until they defeated their rivals by the decisive score of 34 to 10. Our team showed them- selves superior to the visitors at every stage of the game. WESTERVILLE- January 16 This was the first defeat for our girls teams for a number of years and it was a rather crushing one too. Westerville kept on piling up points until at the end of the game they stood 18 to our 8. Our team scored three baskets, one by Mur- taugh and two by Moody. NELSONVILLEâJanuary 23 Lancaster held her opponents in the hol- low of her hand in this game. They scor- ed just about when it pleased them. Ncl- sonville put up stout opposition in the first quarter and scored the greater part of her points. The final score was 20 to 5. Of our players Black led the scoring with four baskets. THE PLAINSâJanuary 31 This game ended in an 8 to 4 victory for Lancaster High. Foreman was the leading scorer with six points. Moody also made a basket. The Plains scored only one field goal.

She was without doubt one of the team's best play- ers. WESTERVILLEâFebruary 6 Our team was determined to get revenge for their defeat at Westerville cost what it might. The game was a rough and tumble affair and twelve fouls were called on each side. We did win and gloriously too. for the score was 18 to 5. NEW MARSHFIELD February 13 This game was distinguished by the de- fensive work of both teams. In the first half neither side scored a field goal and the count was 2 to 0 against us. However, I-ancaster braced up in the last half and came out ahead by a score of 8 to 4. THE PLAINSâFebruary 20 An epidemic of sickness which had made such inroads on the boysâ team caused Trimble and Foreman to forego playing, and Lancaster was defeated for the second time this season by the close score of 3 to 2. Our only basket was made by the cap- tain. Ann Murtaugh. COSHOCTONâFebruary 27 Three girls made futile attempts to stop Courtright, the Coshocton center, who made four baskets and did much toward soundly defeating us 19 to 10. Moody made most of our points including one field goal and four fouls. NEW MARSHFIELDâMarch 7 The girls owed this victory mainly to their splendid team work. The score stood one to one at the end of the first quarter and four to four at the end of the third. The best showing of our team was in the last quarter when they brought their score up to such an extent that we won 9 to 4. ALUMNAEâMarch 21 Our team finished the season in splendid style by beating the Alumnae 20-7. The game was hotly contested and well played throughout. A number of fouls were call- ed on both teams. Page One Hundred Nine TUG-O-WAK (Elje Âźug oâ Uar Every one agrees that the Freshmen-Sophomore tug-oâ-war of 15)24 was the best one that has ever been held. A1 tough this success was clue especially to the splendid organization and hard work of the two teams, a large part of it may be attributed to the interest taken by the whole school in the event. On September the twelfth, after school closed, the entire student bodyâor most of it at any rateâmarched down to Miller Park behind the band. When we reached the park, the Freshmen lined up on one side of the wading pool and began cheering enthusiastically for their boys, while the Sophomores answered defiantly from the other side. The whole school was excited, and the lower classmen became almost frantic at tense moments. The first of the three pulls was the hardest fight of all. For a long timeâwe thought it was a long time, but it was only two minutesâit looked as though neither side would win. But finally the Sophomores pulled so hard that the Freshmen began piling up on the rope at the very brink of the pool. At the end of three minutes no one had gotten his feet wet; however, it was without doubt a Sophomore victory, because a few seconds more would certainly have witnessed the doom of the Freshmen. The second pull the Freshmen dragged their opponents clear across the pool in considerably less than the three minutes allowed. Every one, especially the Freshmen rooters, was certain that the first year boys were going to win the third round, too; but the Sophomores, although they had the slipperiest ground over which to pull, turned the tables on the Freshmen and won the tug-oâ-war gloriously. Mr. Emmet Wilson was the Sophomore coach and Frank Heft the cap- tain. The Freshmen were led by Mr. Sands and Edward Ray. FIELD MEET Jjtelfr iHeet, 1924 The 1924 field meet was held in May. We were fortunate enough to have a clear day on which to hold the meet. About noon according to our custom all the schools of the city assembled with their banners and the grand review took place. The students marched by the grandstand and into the arena where they saluted the flag and disbanded. Three thousand boys and girls marched past the reviewing stand and about two thousand of the citizens of Lancaster witnessed the spectacle. Later in the afternoon a beautiful May pole dance was held before the throne of the Queen of the May. Marcella Kabe. The athletic events continued all day and on either the field or track some interesting contest was taking place all the time. Great credit is due to Mr. Wallace for managing the events so that they progressed with so much precision. The fair grounds was alive with spectators as it might have been during fair week, and every one went home in the evening with the same mingled sensations of satisfaction and weariness as they do on those pleasant autumn days. The standing of the classes in the meet was determined from their success in the events of the day, and also from the points gained in the baseball and tennis tournaments and from the showing in the review. Orval Stuckey and Edwin Davies were the track managers, and these boys received letters for their valuable services and honest efforts to make the day a success.

They were going too fast to change their position and by the time they arrived at the bottom, his sense of humor had asserted itself.
