W02SSJ (tturrirular « � Superintendent J. J. PHILLIPS Several years ago Sup- erintendent Phillips came to us from Galion, Ohio. Fortunate indeed can L. 11. S. consider her- self in possessing a man of such executive power and ability to fill his position as Mr. Phillips. He has a big hearty laugh which is contagious and we sincerely desire that Lancaster High School may long be favored with his guidance. v r r4 Principal DEAN M. HICKSON Principal Dean M. Hickson has been affiliated with Lancaster High School for sixteen years. As a graduate of Ohio State University, and a four year summer course at Harvard, he holds both an A. B. and M. A. degree. Mr. Hickson is the person to whom we all feel free to go, in planning out future pursuits of knowledge, or in the untangling of our difficulties, and he always sees a clear way. This is the highest tribute which can be paid to a person working among young people and we offer it sincerely. HOARD OF EDUCATION NOBLE COEN. Vice President RALPH WOLFE L. E. HUDDLE C. W. GRIFFITH.

MELVIN CONRAD Amanda High School, Amanda, Ohio College Preparatory Course Page Thirty-seven T (Elimbing September 8. 1923 in that kingdom of Knowledge high on the hill where Super- intendent Phillips and Mr. Hickson ruled, the class of '27 was born. Its arrival had long been prophesied and heralded so when at last the class of '27 inarched two hun- dred fifty strong into the auditorium privileged to use the spaces in the win- dows for its own personal benelit. the up- per-classmen raised from their seats in awe. Kvery year in the kingdom of Knowledge those brave and true, overcoming all ob- stacles in the way of mid-year exams and seventh perimis climbed higher, higher to- ward their goal. Wisdom. After the class had opened its eyes and become accustomed to the light which ra- diated from all the bright Seniors, a presi- dent. Frank Heft, a vice president, Herbert Moore and a secretary Relva Blum were elected to direct the steps of the infant. Miss Lawrence served as advisor for the ijow class. • The child in rompers, true and exception- al child, blissfully explored for hidden re- gions, the boiler room and the gyhasium. Mr. Berry punished the child when pun- ishment was needed in the same old way learned so well out at the North School. Some of the early crawlers such as Ruth Adelle Kirn and Florence Smith ventured up the front steps only to fall before some unmerciful Senior. One morning Joe Brown in his headlong rush for Misss Perfect's room where there was romance in the form of Julius Caesar, forgot to open the door and went in through the window. In the springtime those who had sur- vived the winter even preambulatod to Camp Ro one night where some not only entertained everyone by the marvelous way they ate weiners. but showed how well they could swin by ducking in the icy pond. Catherine Whiley attended the May Queen from the Freshman Class. The girls danced around the May Pole as happy as freshmen could be. The class following the custom of its an- cestors held a picnic at Summerlaud Bead� which outing ended the Freshman year. In September the class growing older and having left the kingdom of make be- lieve entered the kingdom of Realty, where. Geometry and Caesar reigned, causing the child sleepless nights and days of agony. Frank Heft proven by his first year of service was again elected president. Ro berta Giesv became vice president, Carl Bauman, secretary and Margaret Rauch, treasurer. Mr. Wilson the new teacher was rather young but was judged capable and accordingly summoned as class advis- or. Another weincr roast enticed many out to Ciystal Springs where Margaret Rauch was caught in fat man’s squeeze.” Mr. Jackson found the air missing from all. four tires and was forced to retire Philips Silver's truck got stuck and a nice walk home was enjoyed by those who had accepted Phillip’s kind invitation to ride. Klsie Armstrong represented the class as May Queen attendant. The class took se- cond honors in the field meet. May ended with the Lake party at Sum- merland and rest from hard days of climb- ing ended the Sophomore year. September, and the child had grown into a youth accorded respect by all who had watched it from its earliest days. The path grew steeper and more difficult. Many had fallen by the wayside and would never know the joy of wisdom. Frank Heft, firmly established the head of his class held his place as president. Leonard Rockey became vice president. Donna Fae Prather secretary and Charlotta Wolf, treasurer. Mr. Wilson remained to advise. Many were the fierce battles waged in Mr. Johnson’s no man’s land,” of gases and bombs. Only the sweet presence of Miss Aten saved the day and the forces rallying, forged ahead. November 30, 1925 everyone received his Page Thirty-eight LITERARY •t pin or ring, the emblem worn by the class Great was the joy when the honors of the circus were seized by the class and a huge sum of money $13.95 was the prize. Early in March the class in all its dra- matic ability stepped forth to startle every- one with the play Bab.” May again brought the May Queen to crown. Gertrude Spin lock attended her from the class of '27. The class again took second place in the field meet. Late in May the classes of '!(• and '27 held a banquet where the class of '27 en- tertained and delighted everyone with a clever comedy drama called The Diamond Necklace ' The tragedy occured when Relva Blum, a beloved classmate pulled the trigger and ended it all. On May 30th, the class again paused in the climbing to celebrate with the annual picnic at Summerland ending the Junior year. The class was r.ow growing old, older, and the faithful climbing high, higher, to reach at last Wisdom. Still the old leader Frank Heft served the class as president in its Senior year. Wayne Rider served as vice president. Relva Blum as secretary and Scott liosnm as treasurer. Mr. Wilson grown sage, still lemained beloved to all. After a few weeks in class Mrs. Bicker- ing by a method all her own had converted everyone into good citizens and martyrs wiling to die for the sake of right.” Miss McCoy so successfuly portrayed the French Revolution as in the Tale of Two Cities” to her classes that at times some people became so affected by it that it was noticed around the school. A better” play Civilian Clothes was the first Senior production. With the class colors blue and silver and the class motto Be backward in nothing. the class had fashioned their banner which was raised at this time. A class banqeut on a certain Friday in April brought everyone together in broth- erly spirit before the grand rush of finals and commencement. Commencement and a dizzy sensation a- round the heart told the Senior that he had reached the heights of Wisdom, his High School days were over and now he was be- ginning a greater climb in the great out- side world where Wisdom would play so great a part. —Irene Kane. Page Thirty-nine CLASS WILL (Ete Hill We. the members of the Senior ('lass of 1927, City of Lancaster, Fairfield County State of Ohio. U. Si A., being, for the mo- ment. of sound mind, and having near ly completed the match of wits with our teachers, do hereby, wholly and separate’} , personally and professionally, bequeath our numerous tricks, valuable bits of inform 1- tion, and responsibilities to our less for- tunate heirs and successors os follows: FIRST: To our teachers we mete as they meted unto us—nightmares and restaurant meals for bad grades, and the best of suc- cess with future dumbells for good marks. May they forget our bad points and try to remember us with charity. SECOND: To the Juniors we bequeath the right to use the desks we occupied this year to carve their names upon, as that will probably be the only monument they will ever leave. They may also have full power to do as they see fit with the gum which they discover on the under side of the said lixtures. We also relinquish our title to the time-honored and over-worked excuses for getting out of class to the a- foresaid Juniors. THIRD: To the Sophomores we give the right to report on first floor next year, (providing Chemistry “Lab doesn't bl w the place off the map’’), and the right to look down on the lower classes higher up. FOURTH: To the Freshman Class we bequeath the right to pull next ye . s Freshmen through the “pond , and the everlasting hope that means “Don't give up the ship through the many long years until some of them graduate. FIFTH: To the incoming Freshmen we leave a good ducking” mentioned hereto- fore. the right to look behind the (loot: for the first two weeks, and an immediate introduction to Miss Seventh Period in or- der that they become acquainted with the ways of the world early in life, SIXTH: To our Janito.s we bequeath sunny dispositions, new brooms, and a little les dirt, to which end. we donate a door- mat for each door of the school. SEVENTH: To our Supt. Phillips we bequeath the right to do away with exami- nations. thus saving himself the trouble of reading over the questions and winning for himself the eternal gratitude of the stu- dent body.

Page Forty CLASS PROPHECY (Elaaa jJriipl|prg TIME- SEPTEMBER 6, 1947 I.aura Marie Acton and Margaret Rauch are entertaining Theodore Everitt. Theo. Yes, the life of a book agent is very difficult. Today when I called on Alice Getz and Melvin Conrad, who have a bookstore, they fairly threw me out the door. Laura (Pondering)— Alice Getz. you say. That gives me an idea, how we can spend a more enjoyable evening. I'll get our crystal, Margaret, and we’ll soon see where every Tom. Dick and Harry of ’27 arc. (Exit Laura). Theo. (Looking after Laura)- By the way. Marg, did she ever marry Si? Marg. Yes, in 1030 they marched to the altar. In 10.55 they marched to the court house and her honor Pauline Graham gave Laura a divorce. Now Si is married to Rclva Blum. Theo. How about your—? Marg. O! don’t you know that I've been teaching a mission in India? I shall re- turn in December. (Laura enters with the crystal held in her palms. She places it on a table. They dim the lights and draw up their chairs.) Laura (Gazing into crystal) -Now the milky whiteness disappears. I see Mary Zeisler playing an organ. It’s in a church. Why there is Merv Weaver dressed in a bishop's robe! Yes— Theo. -Now Merv can preach about fire and brimstone. Laura Ah! he's going to perform a mar- riage ceremony! Here comes Donna Fat- ami Catherine Butcher in bridal veils. Great snakes! Wayne Barrow is at the al- tar. How do you suppose Paul and Wayne decided to have a double wedding? Peer- ing closely. Now the scene is changing. It is a Sal- vation army troop standing on the corner of Main and Broad streets. Look at those girls slapping tambourins. They’re Ethel Saunders, Catherine Whiley, Edna Leach. Ethel Wilson and Myrtle Strait. Blue Bon- nets are very becoming to them. Marg Is there a captain; Laura Yes. he’s Frank Heft. His wife Wilma is standing beside him. Leonard Rockey is beating a drum and Yi Samsel is singing Rock of Ages. Oh — I can't believe it! Mary Jane Mattox and Gilbert Wiseman arc bringing in new comers. Marg I think it’s time that you allow- ed someone else to look. Theodore, you take her place. (Theodore and Laura ex- change places). Theo, (Waving his hand over crystal) Hocus, pocus Joe Ambuster! Presto! My magic words have turned the trick already. An island with dense tropical vegetation appears. Probably it’s a South Sea Island. The king and queen are holding court. Would you believe it that Margaret Wal- ler is queen and Bill Radebaugh is king? They're almost as brown as the natives. They’re sitting on a regular throne and their crowns are set with daxzling rubies. By all appearances, I judge that Richard Ulmer is secretary of state and Wayne Trout is first valet to the king. The king now gives an order. A body guard com- posed of Joe Brown. Carrol Crook. Fred Motsch. Howard Peters. Harold Shipley and Jack Parish approach carrying a sedan chair. Of all things! Each is wearing a necklace of hen’s teeth. They arc bearing the king and queen to- ward the shore. A gondola draws up to Page Forty-one CLASS PROPHECY the bank and the gondolier Burdette as- sists the soverigns in boaiding his boat. Other boats carry the body guard. Now they sail out to a ship anchored at some distance. Marg 1 suppose they are receiving visi- tors. Then Yes, some are boarding a native craft, but I can't discern who they are. Now they have returned to shore. Two chewing gum agents have come from one direction. Laura Who? Hal Behrens and Lewis Bowsher. Their suitcases have pictures of Lillian Schles- inger on them. Probably she has become a champion chcwer. I see Mary Bass, Iloe Bruney and Cather - ine Strickler being presented to the queen. One can easily see that they are Parisian dresssmakers. Marg Then Margaret should be able to set the pace for styles in those tropic lands. Laura Marg. why don't you take hi 1 1 ace now? (Margaret gazes) Marg I see a river and ghostly feudal castles. Ah, the scene is in Germany. Now a university appears. There is Francis Bundy bending over a desk in a chemistiy laboratory. Now he hurries home to his wife. Theo Francis have a wife? Marg Yes, Charlotta is having a dread- ful time adjusting the white tie for his dresss suit. He yells, Mein Gottj Now they are ready to go out to dinner. Their cab draws up to the American con- sulate. George Lake and his wife. Mary Hummel are in the receiving line. Laura How did Mary learn enough German to be the wife of a consul? Marg Many guests are now coming. There is Albert Griffin and Kmma Kreitx. Albert is juggling a monocle. Kmma is saying How charming. Theo In that case Albert is an English Ambassador touring in Germany. Marg Now the crystal is black. What has happened? Oh| a big monster. No it's only the Sphinx. Some tourists are approaching in trac- tors. One is Frances G 1L She is perch- ed on a high seat holding a rope fastened to a baby camel. Look! Virginian Rob- erts, Marie Neff. Mary Agues. Marjorie Par- rish and Gertrude Spurlock are on the same motor truck. Theo Now what can theie be of inter- est to them way down in Egypt. Oh! there comes another car over a sand dune. A placard is on their truck Stu- dents of Zoology from Columbia Univer- sity. Laura Are any of our schoolmates in the second truck? Marg Yes. Emmet Hutchinson is the driver and with him are Ellen Nolze. Bob Geisy. Scott llosom, Marie Schneider and Hazel Rife. Theo May I have the crystal now? You know book agents must he early risers if they wish to he wealthy. (Theo takes crystal.) Why is Lee Pence standing behind a stage frowning? Ah! there is the cause His success depends upon the Milk Maid Chorus playing in front of the wings, Mary Jane Gravett, Irene Kane, Lorheta Cole. Elsie Armstrong. Pauline Aucreman. Opal Ruthbun, and Alice Sites are swinging bright milk pails and giving a barnyard dance. (Slaps table and exclaims). Pau- line Alspach and Paul Stump come in as leads! Alas, Stump swings his pail too high and knocks Mary Jane. Poor girl! She falls and that brute Pence pulls her by the curls back a stage wing. I believe we’re going back to Egypt. (Gazes intently) No we're going to a ranch down in Texas. Probably some wealthy L. H. S. lives in the large ranch house now appearing. At all events the mistress is Margaret Webb. Laura It's time for book agents to go home. (Theo frowns). Theo Give me time. Her husband. Marvin Walters rides up from the corrals. A rider, John Woods, fried by western suns follows him. Every- thing is hustle and bustle. Now Margaret hangs the rooms of the ranch with garlands. Oh, hum! (Rubs his chin). She and Marvin are going to entertain with a dance. Well! Some of the guests are arriving in airplanes. Al- berta Baumgardner could never pilot a Ford let alone an airplane. Huh! There she knocked the corner off a red cow-barn. James Ruble and Sara Bush do not value their life very much if they ride with her. r t «• Page Forty-two CLASS PROPHECY Here comes anothe.! O clear! It's flop- ping more than a strangled fish. Marg It’s time for book agents Itheo—Shut upf Mildred is the aviatrix of the second plane. Evidently she told Martha Clover and Mahle Fisher such a good joke that their laughter shook the plane. Now the dance begins. Winnie Poling is pianist. Marie Witham and Florence Smith and Brandt Henry, banjoist. Laura Banjoist? Whoever heard that word? Thco Well you haven't succeeded in bringing about my departure yet. Now to finish this scene. Helen Woods and Ralph Martin lead off the cake-walk. (Pulls out watch) Why didn’t you tel! me it was eleven o’clock. (Grabs hat and leaves). Goodbye! Laura Left rather uncermonious'y. didn't he? Marg Yes. Now we can have the crys- tal to ourselves. Laura I’ll take the place now. (Gazes). Ah! this bids fair to be a good scene. A scene in Paris. There is a big establishment which seems quite prosperous. S. M. S. is on the electric sign flashing from an up- per story. Silver, Molar and Silbaugh. (Juite a clever advertisement. Below it says, The only information bureau for foreign tourists. We solicit your patron- age. Marg Betty always had stores of infor- mation. Laura Am I dreaming or are my eye? bad? Kenneth Rowland is a dentist ami Martha Beil Beck and Miriam Bookman are his assistant nurses. Who is the patient squirming in the chair? It's Joe Brown. What more Ins wife. Gyla, is standing be- side him wringing her hands. Hr. Bow- land. she says, we were giving an aesthe- tic dance in burlesque form when my clod shoes broke Joe’s jaw bone. O dear can I ever forgive myself? Now Karl Brown and Irene Derbyshire will have difficulty in finishing the season by themselves. At last. Roland White has had the cor- rect calling. The governor's mansion will feel quite distinguished during Roland’s administration. Marg Has he embarked on the sea of matrimony? Laura Yes. Frances Kane seems to be arguing that Roland pays more attention to his valet Emil Smith and his secretary Tom Mattox than he does to her. The storm blows over and now Roland and Frances are on their way to the state house. Who are those mounted policewomen that signal to them at the traffic stop? Maty Hutsler, Ruth Steel and Winifred Pairan. They'd even halt Roland if he were president of the United States. At least. Roland is not so haughty because he speaks to Red Miller and John Woods who are feeding the squirrels in the State yaid. Marg We haven’t tried looking to- gether. Laura Why, we haven’t. Marg Come pull your chair up closer. (They look with heads together). Do you see that gray object? Laura Yes. It's coining closer. Marg O! now 1 see. Ted Wilson and Happy Wyman are honeymooning in a dirigible. Ted is captain and Wayne Rider first lieutenant. Laura Where do you suppose they're going? Marg To Greenland, My! Look how Wayne struts with his debonair walk. Look Amelia is coming. She is carrying a ! ief case bearing the initials A. F. T., M. I). Ah! so now she’s a doctor. The nurses with her are Idora Kiley. Olive Davis and Dorothy Thomas. Who arc those boys washing windows? Laura They’re Ed Decker and Lowell Dilger. Tell me how the stewardess Ethel Blosser can hold them with her iron hand to their work.

S. has brought us to this stately position. We are Juniors. Barring some few who couldn’t make the grade, we returned this year to continue our peppy career, which the close of school cut short last year, and we are carrying on with our colors of Scarlet and Grey Hying. We are not socially inclined, so haven’t bothered much about enter- taining ourselves that way, but when it comes to athletics we excel. The Captains of the girls’ and boys’ Varsity basketball teams for the year of ’28 were chosen from our class. We proved ourselves successful as dramatists also for the play hit of the season, “SO THIS IS LONDON,” was given by the Class of '28. It is our aim to prove to L. H.

Last September we toddled up the stpes of Lan- caster High School, tugged the great front door open and passed with quaking hearts into these halls of learning. It was all so new and difficult, this being a Freshie. More than one of us, after being tucked in bed in the evening wept long and loudly at recollections of embarrassing incidents of the day. In October we dried our eyes and held a meeting to get organized, what ever that is. Mr. Williams looked like he migh be kind to us so we chose him for our advisor. Once we got organized there was no stop- ping us. We had parties, banquets, hay-ladder rides and every think else we could think of. We even won the Tug—O’—War from the Sophomores and the Circus from our learned upper classmen. We are the class of '30! We arc the class of Gold and Blue. We are —GRKLN BUT GROWING!

The room in which they meet is small and equipment is scarce but with the boundless enthusiasm of youth whose love of beauty thus finds an outlet, some very excellent work is being accomplished. The Art Super- visor. Miss Gertrude Middleton believes in the old adage, where there is a will there is a way and so great things in the line of art are being made possible here. The chief aim of the course is to develop an appreciation of Art through a study of the best examples available Principles of design and color combination are taught and the carving of wood blocks, decorating of wall hangings and scarfs, poster work and the carving of figures from Ivory soap which is very popular this year. No greater testimonial can be found for this class than the enthusiastic interest shown and excellent work done. 4 Unratinnal Anrirulturr The Vocational Agriculture department in Lancaster High School is carried on under a law of the United States Congress known as the Smith-Hughes Law.” The Federal government and the state pay equal amounts in supplying tin- funds to keep up the department. The purpose of Vocational Agricultural education in the high school is to give some scientific training in agriculture to the great body of farm boys who attend high school, but go no further in seeking an education. The department at Lancaster, was organized in July, 1918. when there were only thirty-two departments in the state. Mr. Geo. L. Schuster was the first instructor in charge, but left at the end of the school year to engage in other work. Mr. J. W. 1). Butcher, the present instructor, took charge of the department in July. 1919. and under his management it has become one of the few outstanding departments in the state, there being only three schools of vocational agriculture in the state having a larger enrollment at ‘the present time, and none that equals the Lancaster departement in scholarship of those finishing the course. Four boys from this department have won scholarships to Ohio State University on competitive examination given by the uni- versity to seniors in vocational agriculture. The first year of the course is devoted to “Farm Crops. which includes a thor- ough study of the crops grown in this locality, the selection of seed and the proper storing, care and testing of same and the most economical methods of harvesting and the best ways of taking care of the harvested crops. The marketing end is being given more and more attention each year. In addition to the class-room work, trips are made to surrounding farms in order to learn the best methods that are used by successful farmers Each boy also carries on work at home, practicing the principles learned in the class-room. This is called his home project and because of this he receives extra credit in school. The second year a course in Animal Husbandry is given. This includes a study of all farm animals, their care, feeding, marketing products and all the things neces- sary to the improvement of farm livestock. The third year the study of Soils, their origin, management and up-keep, and also an intensive study of Dairying is given. This latter course includes the figur- ing of balanced rations, and the testing of milk for butter fat. The fourth year gives a course in Farm Machinery and Farm Management. The use. care and repair of Farm Machinery is studied for half the year, and then a study of all farm problems is made during the other half of the year. Milk testing and seed-corn testing is kept up through the four years. Each boy also gets one year of Farm Shop work. In this course he learns t handle all the ordinary tools and to make such things as gates, feeders, ladders, milk stools and wagon jacks. Roys in vocational agriculture may also take two years of agricultural mathema- tics instead of Algebra and Geometry, if they so choose. 1IOXOR STUDENTS Ijottur � The following' pupils in Lancaster High School have an average of 90 or above for the four years: Albrrta Saumijarbupr Srlty llbaimh 3FraurfB Sunbg Amplia Shnmas Jfraitrrfi (gull 111 ay ti r £rmit Jlaultup (graham Paul lllntpr 3iiara Xtlry fflargarpt ISallar Ruth fflillrr (Cathariup SHiilry Clint Nalzr Ctbpl lUilflim iBargarrt Raurh (Eharluttp Biolfp (Eathartup trirklrr Rulattb Ulhitp Page Fifty-six IGiterarg Vacation xperimcrs C ■ INTRODUCTION Vacation Experiences interest some, but others seem to consider it “The Bunk.” No matter where you go or how many experi- ences you may have, some one is bound to doubt you. But I think that I have secured enough evidence in the past two summers to prove to every doubter just where I have been been and just how many thrill- ing experiences I have really had. 1 do not by any means want to be ego- tistical but owing to the fact that I have covered most of the distance by myself and I must use “I. I wish the reader to accept my apology. NEW YORK Part One In the year of 1925. feeling the roam- ing spirit Overtaking me. I decided to shake it off by taking a trip. Where? Well. 1 planned to go to New York a • I would like to see the first city of our United States. On July 1st. 1 started out for N. Y. and the trip proved to be one of the great- est thrills I have ever had. I was in Wooster. Ohio, the afternoon of the 1st. I spent the 4th” in Wooster and then left for Cleveland. With little trouble I was in Cleveland two boms after 1 left Wooste-. In Cleveland. I looked up my cousin to see if be wouldn’t like to chance it with me and after the trip was explained, the answer was “Yes. So we started. “Eastward Ho! We pushed along the great Lakeside and came upon the city of Erie, Pa., about four bells We rested our weary feet in that town for the night and when old Mother Nature wrote Dawn across the sky. we were on our way to Buffalo. We blew in Buffalo about the same time we did in Erie and after pushing pur wav through traffic, we hit for Niagra Falls. We heard Niagra falling about six o'clock. After we put up at the Y. M. C. A. we went down to see the falls and then we crossed over to Canada but we didn’t get any 4% beer. We left Niagra about eight o’clock and throughout all the day we rode until wo came to the outskirts of Lyons, N. Y. There we pitched tent. That night it rained and we spent a heck o’va night.” At seven-thirty on the fourth day of our journey we saw an Essex coming down the road like a snail about fitty miles an hour. We then joined in the chorus of that well known song Gimmie a Little Lift, Will Yu’ Huh?” The Essex came to a stop we got in and at four o'clock we were at the capitol of N. Y. We found out that the night-boat, Fort Orange” left Albany for N. Y. at nine o'clock so we decided to go down the river on it. Nine o'clock came, the boat pulled out anti we were on it. We got a haircut on the boat and it cost us “one buck” and a shoeshine was two bits and with all our tips we were about broke when we arrived in N. Y. We got off the boat and the first thing we looked for was an entrance to subway as we wanted to get up to 1844 Broadway or else Columbus Circle. We found the mole hole and descended. We got on the subway which is similar to the Lancaster Tooncrville in looks, speed and service. Before we knew what it was all about, we were at Columbus Circle. We emerged from the hole and started on to hunt for 1844.” We found it after a couple hours search and our cousin extend- ed us the invitation to isit him for a week. It was a week I never shall forget. We did everything from ride a surf board on the back f a speed boat going forty miles an hour to drive the speed boat it- self. During that time we met and went swimming with Norma Talmadge. Ben Lyon Jimmie Hines. Peppi I)’ Orbos. Roy word Huchiock. H. B. Warner and Richard Barthelmess. I tell you all. it was the greatest thrill I ever had. We left the following week and returned to Cleveland. Here we boarded a boat and went to Ashland. Wisconsin, then to Duluth. Minn, and through the Cysnstle Islands. We were on Indian reservations and everything, a great time we had. After a two weeks trip on the lakes I returned home, cover- ing over 5,000 miles. MEXICO Part Two Introduction To go into detail about my trip from Lancaster to New Orleans, in less than a week, would be t o monotonous, so I will omit that part and start at New Orleans. MEXICO I arrived in New Orleans at four P. M. sun time and won the one hundred dollar bet. I went out to see my Aunt and cousin and I found out where 1 could get a job. Page Fifty-seven LITERARY c I went to the United Fruit Co. but they said 1 was too young to work on a boat so I tried the Standard Fruit Co. after Mr. Meher of the Gounwold Hotel had given me a letter of recommendation. They told me to come back in three days. When the three days were up. 1 went down to the wharf at four A. M. and finally got a job as Mess Boy” on the S. S. Noro- yon of the Vocars Lines. I worked in port three days and on Fri- day we left for Vera Cruz. After three days on the Gulf of Mexico we arrivevd in Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz is a typical Spanish town with it’s low buildings. All the residents are Spanish speaking people. It is a quaint and interesting old town. While I was there I enjoyed an occasional swim at Villa de man. the sportman Hangout.'

William Hadebaugh. r v r- Page Fifty-eight t ®he (Otljer ibt' of the j3oor LITERARY T- Jane Sanders was a vivacious, peppy, courageous sort of a girl, with a strong liking for athletics. Her father, a railroad magnate, had two homes, one in New York and one on the Maine Coast. It is in the latter house that this story takes place. Built during the Civil War. it was a huge rambling structure, with many dark, dusty and gloomy corners which, unused, became the gathering place for old clothes, trunks, etc. One day soon after the Sanders had moved into their summer home, while Jane was noising about in one of the unused wings of the house she found an old vase. Curious, she carried it over to the rather doubtful light of a nearby window. Un- doubtedly it was very old. for it was dust covered and she had found it in the farthest recess of a cob-wel� by chimney corner. Her curiosity satisfied. Jane start- ed back to the corner to replace it. In do- ing so she tripped over a loose board and dropped the vase, breaking it into a thous- and pieces. As she bent over to pick up the pieces, she noticed a piece of paper that had come to view. Even in the par- tial twilight of the room she could see that it was yellow with age. With fast- beating heart she again went to the win- dow and read the scrawled hand-writing tut the paper. Go to the blue room in the East wing.” it read, press the upper right- hand corner of the panel next to the chim- ney.- Through the door disclosed you will find a passageway. On the other’ side of the door you will find it. The paper was not signed and gave no inkling of what the it was. Hidden treasure was the first thought that popped into Jane’s brain. Or maybe its the body of some murdered person hidden away from the inquiring eyes of the world, or some treasured heir- loom. Such were the conclusions that tumbled into her mind. But there is no blue room in the Hast wing” she thought disappointedly. After thinking a few mo- ments. she had a flash of inspiration.” When we bought this house. Daddy had the East wing reconditioned and probably painted the rooms in different colors than they had been before. I'll ask John, the gardner, about it. he was here before we moved in.” Suiting action to the words, she set out to find John. She found him trimming the hedge in the rear of the house. When asked about it he said that what had been the old blue room was the first room to the right of the stairs. After thanking him. she hurried back and found that the old blue room was her own bedroom now. Following the directions given in the note Jane soon found the hidden door. Though she had some trouble in getting it open, due to the hinges being rusty from long disuse, she finally forced it open. The passage-way disclosed looked so dark, that for the first time she began to have some misgivings. 1 can’t go in there without a light, she said to herself. I’ll go down- stair and get some candles.” With a light- ed candle in her right hand and several extra ones in her left hand, she ventured into the black passage-way, at this moment the door slammed shut behind her. This did not worry her however, for she pressed on thinking that she could find some way to open it when she came back. After trav- eling in all about twenty feet and turning several corners she came to a stairway lead- ing up into the black heights. At the same time the passage became considerably smaller, there being barely enough roon. for her to stand up. At the top of these stairs was a door and as site was about to open it. she heard a peculiar sound on the other side. Quickly, she drew her hand back in terror. Several times she essayed to open the door but each time her courage failed her. Finally she got up enough courage to look in. Again the sound drove her out. What was on the other side of the door? After debating to herself for some minutes, she boldly opened the door and stepped in. John, the gardner, looked up, H’m, that’s funny. 1 thought 1 heard some one scream.” but went on with his work. From that day on nothing was ever seen or heard of Jane Sanders again, though they searched high and low for her. offer- ed huge sums of money in reward for in- formation about her and had the police of three countries looking for her. she was never found. WHAT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR? —I.eroy Anderson. Page Fifty-nine (©’(Easeg’s ero LITERARY O’Casey was a pupil in the fourth grade at Grammar School and O’Casey had a hero That was the one and only distinguishing feature about this red-headed, freckle- faced. quick-tempered son of Ireland. Everyone in the fourth grade knev about the Hero and half the school besides. Rumors of it had even reached Pat Sulli- van. captain of the seventh grade football team and the strongest boy in the school the hero, himself, and he often viewed his youthful worshipper with amused contempt The exploits of the Hero furnished O’Casey's family an object for good-na- tured chaffing with every meal and often between times. If O’Casey resented this he gave no sign but bore it with a good-na- tured-grin and a cheerful Aw Gwun. If O’Casey teased for a red-checked lumberjack or a blue and yellow necktie to wear with his Sunday suit, his mother, knowing the source of their inspiration silently wished the erst-while Pat had bet- ter taste, but with unfailing good humor bought the wanted article. O’Casey seem- ingly did not mind the attention his color- ful clothes brought him but was extremely proud that he could be like his hero in clothes if not in size and manly strength. A desire to be an exact duplicate of nis hero was not O’Casey's only reason for the colorfullness of his attire. The second reason was a girl, a girl with sky-blue eyes, rosy cheeks and carefully brushed curls the color of ripened wheat. What small boy has not worshipped at the shrine of some such dainty creature. And it was this girl that caused the heroe’s downfull. O’Casey was swinging jauntily along in the spring sunshine, whistling a merry tune and longing ardently to be seen by goldilocks. He wore a new anti especially bright-hued tie and longed for yet dreaded her decision. If she put the seal of her approval (a smile) upon it—well and good but if she expressed displeasure with his choice- no one would ever see that con- dt mined necktie again and O’Casey especi- ally liked it’s bright hues -he hoped she wouldn’t frown. As he approached the schoolyard he heard feminine screams and as he rounded the corner of the building he beheld a large bully teasing a group of small girls. As O’Casey drew near the tormenter pulled a golden curl and O'Casey’s blood ran fire. You lay your bands otTa her, he yelled as he ran Or i'll knock yer block off.” Who'll knock” -sock! O'Cosey's fist stopped the blow and caused the other to nurse a swollen lip. The other’s back had been turned toward him and O’Casey had been unable to see his assailant’s face but now as the larger boy turned the smaller gazed horrified. It was none other than Pat Sullivan. Rut O’Casey’s blood was hot and nothing could stop him. now and strange to say—in the inevitable struggle which followed he was victorious. O’Casey gazed at his fallen idol sorrow- fully. As Pat had fallen in the fight so he had fallen from his pedestal in the esteem of his young worshipper. To O’Casey life at that moment looked very dark and dreary- until a small hand slipped com- fortingly into his; two blue eyes under a crown of sunshine looked trustfully up in- to his face; a sweet voice said softiy, You saved me from that naughty boy and you’re my hero. and two soft lips placed their seal of childish affection on his cheek. O'Casey watched the small figure as it moved slowly away. Reverently he touch- ed the cheek her lips had kissed and tin; future no longer looked dark—but well worth living. 1 ain't got no hero. he murmured softly. But,” he added with growing con- viction I don’t need no hero, then, scorn- fully. Course I don’t need no hero. I’m her hero, now.” —Eileen Haas. c C- Page Sixty LITERARY «i N £ mip ■ Yes. my dear, Mr. Appleseed. Saunders Soup Stands will be t the eating world what Foid is to the motor world.” The speaker was a small dapper man with a small French mustache waxed almost to a point of artificialness. Now if you will invest the mere sum of twenty thousand dollars in my enter- I ise, continued the speaker, “maunders oup Stands will soon be known all over the civilized world. Well the thing does sound pretty good, remarked Mr. Appleseed slowly, I guess I will invest twenty thousand. After settling the business the young man whom we now take great pleasure in introducing as Jonathan Saunders, fu- ture owner and proprietor of the one and only unexcelled and unequalled chain of Saunders Soup Stands, makers of a sup- reme soup, went directly to the office of Brown Brown, contractors to see about the erection of 25 Super Soup Stands. For about six weeks the good people of Gotham were veiy much puzzled as to what new kinds of lunch stands were being erec- ted all over the city. In the morning when they went to work they saw the stands be- ing erected; when they returned home in the evening they read about the stands in the newspapers. Even old John Penny- packer, the great Wall Street, fiancier re- marked to his wife over the evening paper that there was something that would be a success. Finally came the great day of the open- ing. Bright and early young Saunders went to the main soup stand. Soon the soup arrived from the mammoth soup kitchen. Saunders looked around him. Soup—soup -mountains of soup and it had to be sold that day. Would the enterprise prove a success? Saunders hoped it would be. but now it began to look very doubtful. The theory looked all right, but here was a cold reality. But Saunders shook off his pessimistic attitude and set about arrang- ing things for the days work. Finally the seven o’clock crowd began to go past. They smelled the savory soup. Men turned to each other and exclaimed. Well I’ll be blowed if that does not smell like the soup mother used to make.” People flocked to the stand. More soup was hastily ordered. All day long before a mutely crowd, Saunders yelled at the top of his voice. Come here and get your soup, the kind your mother used to make. Come and try Saunders Savory Soup, only 10c a howl.” That night Saunders went to his small two t� v four room, tired but happy in the fact that at least that day was a success. For ten months the business continued a huge success. Soup was the favorite word on the lips of thousands of New Yorkers. Money rolled into the bank. Saunders beamed with the thought of success. By the end of the tenth month month the profit was $25,050.13 according to the bank officials. Then the blow fell. One day a pom- pous looking man bustled into the main soup stand and demanded to see tire one thing Saunders lrad forgotten—the license for selling soup. Immediately he was hailed into court, fined $5,000.00 and costs for violating the Pure Food Law. One day later the police, hearing a shot, broke into the room where young Saunders stayed and found him dead, a smoking re- volver in his outstretched hand and a pa- per by his side on which was written: Financial statement of Jonathan Saun- ders.

Page Sixty-one LITERARY uJriu' Spirit Patricia Doane was one of those admir- able blondes that everyone likes. You just couldn’t help but like her. once you saw her. She had a smile for everyone that came along and was always ready and will- ing to help the other girls. She and her best friend. Jane Morgen, could scarcely wait until the time when they would start to college. But at last, the great day arrived. The girls packed their trunks and were ready to go long be- fore their train was due. When at last, the train arrived, the girls were the first to board it. As the girls neared the city where they were to attend college. Pat’s heart missed a couple of beats and she was veiy excited as they walked to the campus, which was only a short distance from the station. Upon reaching the college, she was shown to the room in girls’ doritory which she and Jane were to share together. The lirst days of her Freshman ye.tr passed slowly with little or no excitement. The best times were had in the kitchen which the girls were allowed to use to pop corn. etc. There it was the girls got ac- quainted. Most of them were friendly, but Joan Bryan, a rich brunette, just couldn’t .associate with anyone except Helen Dunlap the broker's daughter, and Jeanette Alton, the leading minister’s daughter. Jane couldn’t understand why Joan didn't care for Pat, unless it was because she was jealous of her. for Pat was plainly the most popular girl in the school, because of her winning ways. So Pat and her gang were rivals of Joan and her friends. As the time neared for the Annua! debate with a rival college, everyone grew excited, and the girls on the debate team started writing their speeches. Pat bad taiert along this line and it was this subject the girls were discussing in the kitchen while they merrily popped corn. ‘T suppose you have your speech ready, haven’t you. Pat, asked Joan. No, i haven’t .as yet but I have it started.” answered Pat. you see I had to help Miss Lewcllyn (the dean of women) lilc some papers in the school file. So 1 haven’t had much time to work on it. Next Friday 1 will have all afternoon.” All the speeches were to bein Friday at four o'clock for correction and a pi ize was to be awarded to the writer of the best speech. Everyone expected Pal to win. At noon Friday Miss l.wellyn called Pat to her office and asked her if she would go to the station to meet her mother. Now the girl hated to refuse her but she knew her speech was unfinished. Thinking she could finish it ; fter she came back. Pat went to the station to meet Mrs Lwcllvn. When she reached her room again. Pat s own mother was there to greet her. Now Patricia knew her speech would never he finished, for she just had to talk to her mother. The next day when the girls learned she hadn’t handed in her speech, cverjone was surpro .ed. Miss Leweliyn was very sorry for taking Pats’ time, but that helped Pat s broken spirit veiy little. However, she hoped some day to do something tor her school and show Joan, who won the prize and more haughty that ever, that she wasn’t the only one who helped her school. This particular college the girls attended had a very rare collection of gems, v hich were valued highly and kept in the school safe. One morning Miss I.ewellyn was seen talking excitedly to '.lie other women. Alt- er a while the girls learned mat the gems had been stolen. Weeks went by with no trace of the precious gems. A large re- ward was offered for their return. For want of excitement Pal and her friends went, one day. to explore a haunted house not far from the campus. Pat, what was that noise, screamed Jane. I don’t know. Where was it? I don’t know!” This was the nature of the conversation in the haunted house. As the girls were about to leave aPt noticed a light shining in a dark comer. Before anyone could stop her. she had gone to explore. Oh. girls, look,” she cried, it is a gem!” All the girls rushed to see it. “Yes, and there’s another,” cried Jane. Upon looking further, they discovered a box which contained more gems. I'll bet they are the school's lost gems.” cried Pat. Sure enough.” the girls chorused. They immediately took them to Miss Leweliyn, who was very surprised to again see the gems. Tell us everything, ciied Joan. The girls hurriedly repeated their ex- perience. .Miss Leweliyn heartily thanked the girls and gave Pat the reward offered. Popular favor again turned to Pat. All this meant nothing to her compared t) the fact that site had helped her school and m doing so had proved the statement- ’ .'.here ere’s a will, there’s a way.’ A Page Sixty-two f. lExtra-QIurrtntlar •s STAFF Jflirage J aff PAULINE E.

(51 tt (Stubs atib ffiborusrs To our beloved Miss Secoy, goes the credit for the wonderful response made by all of Lancaster High School to the Music World. Our choruses alone prove the interest of every student in L. H. S. It has been necessary, the past few years, to divide the Girls Chorus into two groups, the Freshman-Sophomore and the Junior-Se.iior Choruses. The boys of Lancaster I ligh School are just as responsive and appreci- ative as the girls. The Boys Chorus is taking on a new importance and a splendid advance is being made. The Annual Reviews and Operettas show clearly the interest of the students in Music and also the splendid development that is being made under the direction of Miss Secoy. From the General Chorus Groups, have been chosen the choice voices of L. H. S. So much interest has been awakened in Music that many mem- bers of the Glee Clubs arc taking special vocal work. The Annual Review given at Lancaster High is sponsered by the Boys Glee Club and is becoming more of a credit to them each year. To the Girls Glee Club goes the credit for the Annual Operetta and in this the boys can not surpass them. Back of the success of all our musical endeavors is the vivid person- ality and strength of one person-Miss Secoy! Page Seventy-four This group, under the supervision of Miss Secoy, with Dorothy Thomas as student director has made many public appearances this season. The talent is exceptional, being far above that of an average High School Girls’ Glee Club.

All four voices are of excellent quality and the result is certainly a harmonious one. It is indeed fitting that at such times as commencement, senior prog- ram and baccalaureate, the seniors should have a quartet from their own number to furnish them with music. These four young people represent the best vocal material in the senior class and their fellow senior, Viola Samsel who presides at the piano is equally as representative. Page Seventy-seven DRAMATICS Captain Crnssbnnrs The operetta “Captain Crossbones was presented at the city audi- torium, April 2lst and 22nd. It was the eight annual operetta produce 1 under the direction of Miss Secoy. The story tells of the winning of the Spanish Grandee’s daughter by an American planter. To win his suit, Richard Stoneybroke. the young American, assumes a dual role and masquerades as Captain Crossbones, the pirate chief. The cast for the operetta was a particularly talento 1 one, and the music was enchanting. This operetta was the most pretentious ever pre- sented and we feel that it was a production of which L. I I.

The setting: for the first scene, was against a rainbow. The vividness of the scenery was only surpassed by the excellence of the music and the poise of the actors. The solo parts in the first act were sung- by Paul Brenner. Lupher Fulton, Frank Heft. James Matchett, William Radcbaugh, Leonard Hockey, Stanley Tidd and Austin Secoy. The second act was a very clever musical skit entitled “Freshies.” The ease with which the members of the cast took their parts and the snappy music made a lasting impression on the audience. The third act was a concert by a select band under the direction of Mr. Enoch. An evening spent at the Lancaster High School Review was a profit- table one and gives us all a very high opinion of both the musical talent in The Boys’ Glee Club and of Miss .Secoy.

The fact that it has become necessary to give the Concert in the City Hall Auditorium is proof enough of the public appreciation of our Orchestra.

Right now we give them a great big thank you” for the past years work. Page Eighty-three DEBATE fogati e The question for debate this year was, Resolved that the direct pri- mary should not be abolished. Those who upheld the negative side of the question, were, Roland White, first speaker and captain; Dorothy Hewetson, second speaker; Herschel Kneller, third and Doris Rhodes, alternate. This team battled twice, both times victoriously and at home. The first encounter was with Circleville, the debate being held in the afternoon, with the entire student body present. The second was with Coshocton. The negative team was an excellent combination of brains, common sense and good delivery, the promoter of these qualities being Coach R. C. Smart, of whom not enough can be said concerning his super coaching ability. We are proud of this team and appreciate very much, their good wrork. Page Eighty-four DEBATE (Sraljam ShiUVck Sallar SUmrr .Affirmati e ®eam Those people saying “yes” on this question were: Pauline Graham, captain and second speaker; Edward Waldeck, first speaker; Margaret Waller, third and Paul Ulmer, alternate. The affirmative debated at Washington, Ohio, losing the decision, next carried off a victory from the alumni, and finally lost at Cambridge. But although this team lost twice, it was through their efforts along with those of the negative that Lancaster won in the Central Ohio League. This league is the first of its kind in the state, and Lancaster has become winner, only through the ceaseless efforts of our faithful teams. Again we must mention Mr. Smart as being responsible for this success and we feel that with such a Coach, L. H. S. has a great debating future ahead of her. Page Eighty-five DRAMATICS The first Senior play was presented, January 17th and 18th, under the direction of Mr. G. L. Conrad. “Civilian Clothes” was a very clever comedy portraying- the culmina- tion of a war romance. The leading roles were capably handled by Kllen Nolze as Florence Lanham and Frank Heft as Sam McGinnis. The play was another tribute to the histrionic ability of the Senior class, and was a suitable beginning in the dramatic field for the class of ’37.

The parts were splendidly portrayed and we all feel that the “year- lings” have proved themselves capable of carrying on the high standards set by the students of Lancaster High.

Adam and Eva given May 30th and 31st, was quite a suitable climax for the occomplishmcnts of the Seniors. Adam and Eva is the story of Mr. King, a wealthy man. who spoiled his who!.; family, and especially his two daughters, Julia l)e Witt, wife of Clinton De Witt, one of the family parasites and Eva, who agitates her father not only with bills but by running around with the Scotchman, Lord Andrew Gordin, the would-be-son-in- law. The first scene gives an example of a typical American home in the morning with the usual morning paper which is brought in by faithful Carinthia, the maid. No sooner has Mr. King’s temper cooled than in comes the monthly lot of bills in- cluding Aunt Gibby’s Memory lessons. Eva’s lingerie bills and Uncle Horace's doctor bills. After much arguing by all Mr. King tells them they are going to move to Newark. Upon this the family gets Dr. Dilawater to tell Mr. King, that he is a very sick man. After leaving Adam Smith in charge of his family, Mr. King leaves for a long vacation. Adam Smith believes that a family should be ruled by love not the pock- etbook and begins to try his theory on the King family. The second act shows Adam Smith trying to manage his family. As a last at- tempt he tells the Kings that all their money is gone and also steals their jewels in order to make them work. Each member of the family gets some position and Eva. Aunt Gibby and Adam move to the farm and raise chickens. The third scene is where Mr. King happens home, to find his industrious family busy at work. The mystery of the money and jewels being cleared up, Adam and Eva announce their love for each other. The whole family has found that they can be much happier while working. The success of the play was due to Mr. Johnson’s exceptionally fine manner in which he directed it and to the work of the following cast: James King___________ Adam Smith___________ Eva King_____________ Julie De Witt-------- Clinton De Witt______ Lord Andrew Gordon.

The Purple and Gold men easily showed their superiority over the Red and Black. With the completing of eleven attempted passes it was clear that the aerial attack was nearly perfect. The team rose to its greatest height in the Newark game; winning 14 3. This was the first time in years that a Lancaster team had defeated Newark. The backfield, led by Captain Bauman was light, fast and especially adept at throwing and receiving passes. Supporting the backfield was a line that fought to the last ditch. Although light they had the knack of opening a hole in the opposing line every time it was called for. The team was hampered the latter part of the year due to injuries and inelig- bility. Many of the games requiring four to six second string men to fill the gaps. With seven letter men back. Lancaster looks forward to a very promising year.

Coach Wallace is of the opinion that it takes as much cour- age to warm a bench as it does to play. These men have certainly demonstrated this fact and we all feel con- fident that the success of our team this year was greatly helped along by the second team. The men are as follows: Smith, forward Hazel ton, Asst. Mgr. Motsch, Manager Hosom. forward Mattocks, guard Decker. (Capt.) center Fulton, forward Griffith, forward Lindsey, forward Ridenour, guard Crooks, center Page Ninety-five ATHLETICS Boys' Basket Ball Reason Lancaster opened the season with six letter men back. Most of these had worked together for at least two years. This year they played as a well oiled machine, and a well oiled machine they were, as a glance at the top heavy scoies, they rolled up at the expense of their opponents will show. Lancaster has had this year the hardest schedule they have ever had. but the fast going Purple and Gold Tornadoes ran up wins for thirteen straight games before they were defeated. Time and time again the Lancaster warriors tore the opposing defense to shreds. After winning all their Pre-Central Ohio League games by large scores, they entered the above named league. A league that is composed of some of the strongest teams in the country, but as before emerged victorious by large one-sided scores. By winning the championship of the Central Ohio League, they were entitled to compete in the Central Ohio District tournament, which they did. On the second day of the tournament they defeated Circleville. Their next game was to be with Harding High of Marion. As the game opened it was noticed that something was radically wrong. The team was not playing the brand of basketball they had. Their passing was bad, shooting was erratic, and their team-work was, for some reason or other lacking. With this type of basketball in evidence it was only natural that we were defeated. But even yet we consider Lancaster's team as the best in the country. We appreciate the work of the sixteen men that co-operated with their Coach to make this a truly wonderful season. Many of the lads, it is true, failed to get a first string uniform, but they fought none the less hard. We are sure that without the aid of these substitutes the Central Ohio League Loving Cup would not now be in Lancaster. RESULT OF GAMES L. H. S. 45 Rushville 2 L. H.S. 26 Zanesville 16 L.

She covered herself with glory by breaking up play after play of the opponents.

She scored -18 points to her op- ponents' 2. Lauderbaugh. a sophomore, playing her first year at the pivot position gave a good account of herself. She is especially good in getting the tip-olT and fighting for the ball under the basket. Westhoven, another Sophomore playing her first season as a forward made an excellent showing, and with two more years of experience should do wonders. Mar- garet has an uncanny eye for the basket, scoring 64 points. Silver has lots of fight and plenty of aggressive qualities. She could always be depended upon to give her best. She will be lost through graduation. Barnes, with one more year, should develop into a fine player. She got a late start but progressed rapidly. Dorothy is a good shot and an excellent passer. Page Ninety-eight ATHLETICS (Girls’ gasket 5all Reason As usual the Purple and Gold «iris’ team was one of the best in the state, winning- 12 out of 14 games played. For years now this team has been a menace to teams representing- larger schools, anti tins year has been no exception. The members of the team were unusually small, but what they lacked in size they more than made up in fight. Under the leadership of Captain Mary Mutslar, the girls opened the season with a 28—7 win over Rushville. They then proceeded to ring up seven straight wins before they were defeated by Crooksville, modified girls rules being used, which greatly handicapped our girls. Not only did the girls defeat tin best high schood teams but they also walloped Bliss College 15—6. In particular we have noticed the close guarding of every member of the team. But even though their own opponents seldom scored, they man- aged to break away many times for markers from the field. During the whole season they played so good a brand of basketball that they were successful in piling up 260 points against their opponents 114. This alone would shorn you that we have had a very pleasant season. Much credit is given to the second team, this year which was composed entirely of Freshmen. The team consisted of Gesling, Jones, Boucher, Clark, Graf, A. Carpenter and V. Carpenter. They added much spice to the practices and made the varsity fight to keep their places. Next year we hope to have a league organized for girls’ basketball. This should stimulate more interest in this particular line of athletics. RESULT OF GAMES L.

It was seen from the very first that it was going to be a great year. More students reported than ever before. The games were fast and competition was more keen than it ever had been. Mr. Marquis, who is in charge, made such a stirring speech, in the mass meeting for his department, that it has been the talk of the school over since. Each elasss began to think they were by far the best, and when the other classes told them how bad they really were there remained nothing to do but let them fight it out. And fight they did. Many games began to go into overtime periods. Games were won and lost by one point innumerable times. But still though the competition seemingly took all their waking hours their scholastic work did not suffer. All participants were required to keep passing grades in three Out of five subjects. In the “A class boys, the Sophomores won out after a thrilling game with the Seniors, winning by one point. While the Senior B” team had almost a run-a-way in their tournament, winning eight and only dropping two games. In the Girls' division the Freshmen proved their merit by winning every game, the only team in the whole system to do so. We congratulate Mr. Marquis on his wonderful work and we wish him the best of success in years to come. A great deal of credit is also due to Bernard Haas and Samuel Hutslar who carried on the work of managers very efficiently. RESULT OF L. H. S. INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Class “A Boys W. L.

Everyone was enthused over the way in which the colorful classic was put on. The fetivities were attended by a crowd estimated around ten thousand spectators. The morning session was devoted to the athletic events which were all closely contested. The «competition in the grade school department was especially close with North and South, the leading contenders. In the high school section, the Seniors had the championship practically cinched by afternoon, but the Sophomores had given them a merry chase during the early events of the day. Several existing records were smashed and because of the wonder- ful weather, the athletes exerted themselves to their best Form, many events being full of thrills andcxcitement. The most spectacular event of the day was the crowning of the May Queen. The throne surrounded by lam el. banked by the beautiful flowers and trimmed with various colors of the schools blended very beautifully with the colors of the regal procession. Miss Elsie Armstrong, senior, was alliicd in a gown which was very becoming to her and added greatlyt o the color scheme carried out in the whole performance. She is a decided blonde with blue eyes and long tresses. A dance was given by several girls before the throne. The Girls' Glee Club sang a beautiful song entitled Forget- me-not. The ceremonies were witnessed by ten thousand people. The Rythmic Games and May Role events were very striking. They created the solid color and wonderful background for the May Queen Ceremonies. The competition in the athletic events began again with Weaver winninw the high hurdles and copping the century dash which finally cinched the meet for the Seniors. The Seniors also won first in the Relay. The Grade school race was not decided upon until after the Relay when North came from behind and hit the tape first only to nose out South for the championship of the meet in a stirring finish. The final standing for the school in competition were: The Individual High Point Man in the high school was Merwyn Weaver, captain of the Senior team, lie collected seventeen points, coming from first places in the Running Broad Jump. 100 yd. dash and the 120 yd. High Hurdles. He placed third in the 22«) yd. dash. He will receive the gold medal given annually by the Lancaster Rotary Club. The high point girl in the high school section was Mary Margaret Clark, a Fresh- man who collected thirteen points. Fred Myers of South School won individual honors in the grades with a total of eighteen points. Ruth Thomas of North School copped high point honors among the girls with fourteen and one-half points.
