School is but an easy dream; For the student works who passes; Lessons are not what they seem. School is real, school is earnest. And today we but begin; Weak thou art to school returnest!” Oft is spoken ere we win. Not beginning, and not ending, Is our school of life today; But to pause, our memories blending With our hopes along the way. Tasks seem long, yet class time fleeting, Yet we all seem brave and gay. Though our hearts like drums were beating On examination day! Oft we make the book shelves rattle With the zeal of learning’s strife: In each day’s returning battle. Here we have our taste of life.

And have won our place of honor In the schools scholastic line. We have girded on our armor And are ready for the fray. For none can tell what lies beyond The portals of today. The roads stretch out before us Like fairy cobwebs spun From the stuff that dreams are made of, And our task has just begun. We know not yet what path we’ll take. Nor see our journeys end, Or whether fame and fortune wait Around the road’s long bend. A load might lead us anywhere, To the cities crowded life. Or wander on quite pleasantly Away from care and strife. A road might lead to a mountain top High jutted against the sky. Or down to the gleaming water’s edge Where stately ships go by. The road we take may lowly be, Not all are wise or great But remember that they also serve -1 “Who only stand and wait.” We know not yet what road we’ll take Through youth’s uncharted night - But the shining code of L. H. S. Will be our beacon light.

However, the inclement weather did not dampen our spirits . . only our beauty. When we began our search for rooms, the only differ- ence we found between the high school and the Empire State Building was that the latter is equipped with elevators. Sometime after we had established ourselves as initial members of this institution of knowledge, we held our first class meeting to elect officers. The results were: Bob Bauch, President; Milton Smith, Vice President; Martha Bickel, Secretary; and Ben Bope, Treasurer. They were quite capable of guiding this cultured group of students. The use of the L. H. S. gym for our first party somewhat elevated our trivial feel- ing. It was at this eventful occasion that we lost our dignity, and in spite of our par- ty clothes, played basketball, of all games. We concluded our social activities for the year with a hay ride at Cantwell Cliffs, and by the charge of extravagant prices, we es- tablished ourselves a firm class treasury. Since we had been so overidden by upper classmen and so overworked by teachers, we took our usual three months’ vacation with a sigh of relief. This sigh also relieved us of being freshmen. We entered our sophomore year with a more superior air than the preceding one, and several even lived up to their nickname of being saucy. Executives chosen for the year were: President, Howard Kerns; Vice President, Bob Rauch; Secretary, Harold Ramsey: and Treasurer, Ben Bope. By this, one would think we didn’t believe that wo- men should be equal to men in politics. Since we were such a busy lot, we found time for only one social function, if you insist upon calling it social. It was a weiner roast held at Riven Rock. At this out- burst, we showed our ability to balance the budget by alloting only two of the chief food to a person, and to make sure there were no prevaricators or gormandizers in the crowd, we even punched tickets. However, we did the first time honor the upper- classmen by attending their gay spring dances. This year the school especially showed its brilliance by winning the district schol- ship contest at Ohio State. There were nine sophomores who contributed their know- ledge. Before realizing it, the month of June announced that we would be excused for three months of rest, which, of course, we dreaded. Fall came and we soon found ourselves back to regular hours- in the morning. Since we were now definitely upper classmen, one of the first things we were permitted to do was elect our leaders for the year. Warren Smith was elected President. His assistants were: Jean Shumaker, Vice President: Harold Ramsey, Secretary; and Ben Bope was again elected Treasurer. In December, we had a dance at Avondale Inn, which we correctly called the “Junior Mix-Up.” The biggest mix-up of all was that the orchestra almost failed to appear. But everything turned out fine, and a good time was had by all. At the middle of the year the school officials thought we looked so tired that they decided to give us an extra five minutes to sleep in the morning and five minutes longer to eat lunch. As a result, we have a bigger and better class. Some of the fair maidens of the class turned back the years and enjoyed their lollipops at a Kid Party. My,how cute everyone looked in pig-tails and hair ribbons, not to mention their dolls. The next bit of excitement was a weiner roast at Crystal Springs. The Junior Prom with its gaiety and charm was a huge success. We entertained the Seniors royally at the Junior-Senior Banquet. The last event of the year was the Junior play, “Believe It Or Not.” This proved that besides having comedians in our midst, we also had actors. And believe it or not we really put it over. Vacation time again sneaked up on us before we knew it, and even though we CLASS HISTORY didn’t see how we were going to stand being away from school, we left peacefully. Then for the last time, we came back as seniors. We had a new face greeting us, and it proved to be Mr. Porter, our new principal. His willingness to help solve our problems made him a favorite among all of us. Ben Bope was promoted from his position of treasurer and was elected our President. Bob Rauch was elected Vice President; Bill Anderson, Secretary: and Harold Ramsey, Treasurer. On Hallowe’en, we invited the school to a Masquerade Ball. We danced with some of the weirdest-looking creatures, and after we found out who our partners were, we didn’t know whether to act surprised or embarrassed. The year just seemed to disappear into thin air, and before long, we were enjoy- ing Christmas vacation, and returning to school to take mid-year exams. We showed our approval of the jam sessions after the basketball games by attending most of them. The Late Christopher Bean,” the senior play, was one of the outstanding succecses of the year. Then after the committee had almost completely lost their minds, we had a combined weiner roast and dance. Following this, the Junior Prom, the Jun:or- Senior Banquet, and Senior Night soon became just additions to our book of memories. With Baccalaureate and Commencement on June 1, we realized our happy h'gh school days had finally come to an end. So it is with deepest regret in our hearts, that we bid farewell to our Alma Mater and our classmates. But in our garden of thoughts shall thrive the memories of the Class of ’39. Norma Good CLASS WILL KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: That, We. the Seniors of Lancaster High School, City of Lancaster, State of Ohio, Class 1939, be'ng as sound in mind and memory as we shall ever hope to be, realizing that the time here is now drawing to a c'ose � n which we have to perform our last and very important duties, and feel- ing sad that life here has been so brief, wish to leave behind us all the va'uable property that we possess. Therefore we make this our last Will and Testament, and bequeath as follows: ITEM I To our beloved faculty, our sincerest appreciation for all that they have accomplished through these last four years, and hope that the class of ’39 will iive on in their memory.

ITEM III To the Sophomores, who have fulfilled those “saucy days, to act now as “iolly” Juniore. ITEM IV To the Freshmen, who have, or ought to have gotten away from their babyish traits, to be able to fight their own battles now. ITEM V To the incoming Class of 1943, four of the happiest years of their I'ves, the job of getting used to the routine, and the ability to dodge the eighth periods.

Behrens CLASS PROPHECY Year—1949 Month- June Day—1 Well, here we are again. Gosh, just to think that ten years ago today we were just happy-go-lucky seniors. But since then, there have been so many tin cans tied to automobiles for wedding parties, that our bid class just “ain’t what it used to be.” It’s surely some fun up here in the air in this dirigible which Warren Smith let us use to join our former classmates. In the corner by the window is Ben Bone, our old class president of ’.'19, and his wife, the former Marjorie Turkenton. And sitting in front of them, all alone, is Bob Rauch, who attended the Soda Jerkers Convention in Chicago to learn what is new in this popular line of business. My! My! There are Bill Anderson and Hal Ramsey who have made themselves prominent as football coaches; Bill, at Northwestern and Hal, at Notre Dame. Jack Stevens is also in this profession at the University of Wisconsin, and I hear he got married. The little lady in the c-ise? Let’s see now, who was that? Oh! yes, confidentially though. Margaret Ann Davis. What fun I should have on this trip as a newspaper reporter! At least it is one way of hearing all the latest gossip. Well, Vivian Graf hasn’t changed much; she is just a dear little wifie now, and also acting as Junior’s secretary in the Wood’s Modernistic Greenhouse. Now. I guess we are going to land, for I can see the airport below us. Sav, we surely had smooth looking pilots on this ship, and I do mean smooth! Yes sir-ee! Clyde Bay and Sam Jasper certainly did a fine job of getting us here all in one piece. Just look at the crowd here to see us land! I must say that it looks as if the majority of them are members of the class of ’39. Over there are some girls T rec- ognize. and they are still members of Lancaster’s society. There’s Mary Jane Benson and Mrs. Reed, the former Marian Faler. Mary Jane is now married to a prominent young lawyer whose name is William Blackwood. And guess whni! T hear he wanted to bo an orchardist, but changed his mind, (or had it changed for him) since he married Mary Jane. Someone told me on the way here that the nurses held a convention close by, and that the members of our class would get to stav over for the celebration. They say that Wilda Feeman is an excellent nurse, but still hasn’t found one single case of Bu- bonic Plague in ten whole years. They also tell me that Maxine Mast and Lena Mae Valentine are iust back from a trip to the African jungle where they have been teaching the natives how to keep from catching cold. Woo! Woo! But I guess they must be doing all right, for Maxine’s going to marry a missionary that she cured over there (not bad!) Gee, I wonder who that person is over there with the dark glasses on. My word, it’s Jimmy Elliott with the measles again. Good Golly! he looks like a near-sighted raspberry picker. But I guess he is doing fine in photography, and he is married, of course. My! My! how time does fly. Really, I imagine vou will all be as surprised as I was to learn some of the professions our classmates have chosen. For instance, when I stopped to get a coke at the hotel on the corner, I noticed that it had been designed by Bill Probasco, and that Jimmy Bradford hadn’t reached any higher profession than a doorman. But I certainly got my surprise when I looked into the lobby and saw Vera Bowman yelling “Cigarettes and candy, right this way.” Can you imagine Vera doing that? Then to top it all off, when I finally did get a seat, there was so much noise that I couldn’t hear myself think! After a while, someone opened a door and I could see what was going on: Norma Weaver, Faun Bugh, and Dorothy Collins were typing, while Ginny Poling and Roma Sager were sitting on their bosses’ knees, taking dicta- tion. Well, all I can say is that they surely looked comfortable. Such a story for my newspaper! But that was nothing to the surprise I got when I came to the elevator and bumped into Jerome Bass, and he told me he was in a mournful business—that of an undertaker. I asked him how business was, and he said since Dr. Robert Wilkins had opened his office here in the city, it was fine, because he was profiting by Bob’s mistakes. But just give Bob time. When the elevator reached the ninety-second floor, who should open the door but little Johnny Dunkle, all dressed up in a uniform. Then I learned that there was a teacher’s convention on this floor so I went in thinking I might get a scoop. And boy, did I! The name of each person and what he taught was on the back of his chair. The first one I spied was Alice Eslinger, who I noticed was teaching kinder- garten, and what stories she could tell! She has them all modernized. For instance, instead of the three little kittens loosing their mittens she has them loosing their itsy- CLASS PROPHECY bitsy pig skin gloves. I noticed that Anna Mary Cox was teaching Hea'th. Jean Shumaker was teaching Latin, and I heard through a little birdie that during this class reunion Jean and Dick are to he married, now that Dr. Rowles is established in this community. Gee. ain’t love grand? I then noticed that Jane Wilson was teach- ing Mathematics in a Chicago high school and getting along fine. After jotting down a few details, I was on my way to my room, when who should he coming down the hall hut a famous criminal lawyer, whom I recogni .ed to he Howard Kerns. And coming close on his heels, were June Haynes and Je-m Rade- baugh. Gosh, you would never guess what June has turned out to he the leading dancing teacher of Lancaster! And she told me some of her star pupils were Jack Evins, Lloyd Beck, Boh Bib'er, Billy Burke, and Richard Beuchler. So she must have some fun, 1 11 say. Doris Blackmore plays the piano for June’s classes. Say, talking about music, Jim Wagonseller is playing at the Netherland Plaza all this week, and therefore he and the hoys won’t he able to come home, but he sent a telegram to Joan Gesling, chairman of this affair, to give his best regards from himself and the rest of the gang, namely: Boh W. Edwards. Hal Greiner. Don Tn'k- ington. E'klie Yabrove, Wayne Miller, Harold Kost, Jim Lantz, and, of course, their vocalist. Violet Glaab. F ’ '-'e L°ver. who is now the featured drummer of Tommy Dorsey’s Band, tele- graphed that he would he here hut a little late for the floor show, as he had just arrived home from Paris, where they had had a two months engagement. Members of our class who will appear on the floor show are Lena Mowery, of the Metropolitan, and Norma Good, who is married and living in a little town near Lancaster. Let’s see now, what is the name of that place? Oh. yes! Canal Winchester. She has con- sented to play that old, old favorite, Star Dust.” Genevieve Anders, who is singing for the K:ssproof Lipstick Program, will also be here, and will be willing to demon- strate her product. Won’t someone he in his glory? After hearing all this gossip from Joan, I decided I needed a 1'tUe rest before going to the big banquet. But just as I reached for the door knob, who should pop around the corner hut Mary Sophia Behrens. Well, I iust took her hv the arm and made her come in and sit down. Standing there talking two more hours would surelv kill me. So after securing a number of kisses on the cheek from dear old Mary, I felt a little stronger. But when we got going on the last ten years gossip, boy, were someone’s ears burning! She told me that since she has taken ’ e job as super- visor of the new Y. W. C. A. has heard a lot of news. The Y. W. was designed by Martha Bickle, now Mrs. William McClenaghan. You know, there’s a funnv thing about Salty. He had several offers from talent scouts to appear in movies as Mickey Roonev’s double, hut Salty said he would rather stick with the McClenaghan Trained Dice Company. So there he still is. Then Mary said that Betty Mowry had won a swimming championship and had also won several gold medals for her skill. That was in 1944. But for the last five years she has been head matron of an orphanage. However she hasn’t changed much, except for a few grav h yirs. After five years of that, I would probably he bald headed! Gee. I wonder if hair slv'es will ever change that much? Say, speaking of hair styles, Marcella Groves has a beauty salon now, and Clara, Ruth, and Virginia Conrad are her able assistants. Well, after Mary left, I was ready for bed. when someone knocked on the door. Upon opening it, I saw the littlest fellow all dressed up in a State Highway Patrol- man’s uniform, and here it was Roger Engle, with a speed ticket for a Mr. George Eckert who owns and operates an exclusive confectionery. (Twenty-five cents per coke—exclusive is right!) After directing him to the right room. I then lay down to sleep. And thus 1 dreamed I was a goddess of Future Land, and I thought that I could make the hope or ambition of every classmate come true. First Made'eine Graf came to me and said, I’d like a nurse’s cap atop my curls;” Then Elinor Harvey wished for satins, silks, and priceless pearls; Helen Hamilton, a schoolmam’s desk and dignity, Johnny Keller, a sailor’s life on the open sea. Bill Kaumeyer, the care-free life of an idle gent, Bob Parker, a term or two as president. Bob Straten, a wife who cooks and has Martha’s looks, Gerry Pifer, the authorship of at least fifty books, Bill Peters, to win a war of great renown. Dot Mondhank, the heart of every boy in town, Marjorie Swinehart, a pot of rouge, a beau, a date, Mable Mertz, to teach music and gain some weight, Kathleen Fosnaugh, to cook alas! for Jimmy A. And then Ruth Minehart said she wouldn’t ask for much But just to read and muflch sweet life away. CLASS PROPHECY And then I awoke, and was afraid I would be late And then. Oh! gee! I would miss my tete-a-tete. So then I called a taxi. I thought the operator’s voice sounded familiar and here it was Mildred Elick. At last the taxi came, and who should the polite young gentle- man be who opened the door, but Harold Crumley. I didn’t recognize him at first, for he had grown a mustache. He had married Emiline Blackburn. My, was I surprised! Christine Campbell was in the taxi also, and she said she had left her husband at home with the kiddies. When we arrived at the Night Club Do Luxe which was owned by the Eastman Brothers (Don and Harold), I noticed a large crowd assembled in front of the place, and the first person I recognized was Babe Kitsmiller in an exquisite silver lame dinner gown. She told me that she had been modeling gowns for quite a while now. and that the dress she was wearing came from Arlene Macklin’s Exclusive Dress Shop on Fifth Avenue, and had been designed by Mary Ann Thimmes. Anita Abram came up to us then and we learned from the conversation that her college career had secured for her a husband, who was an optometrist. We all went in together, then, to the lobby where Florence Gerkin was selling cigarettes and candy at a booth. Kathryn Armstrong was directing the last minute arrangements for the place cards at the banquet table. And then I saw a married couple whom I thought I should recognize, and later learned that they were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Benjamin Eaton (the former Marjorie Evans). I finally found mvself a wee spot in a corner where I could write my gossip column, when James Davis, a noted lawyer sauntered over my way, and on his arm, dear public, believe it or not. was the former Dorothy Bierly. After a short conver- sation they left, and Esther Finley and her hubbv came over. They both looked well, and said they were living in their new home in Columbus next door to Martha Powers and her husband. Bob Straten. During our conversation. I noticed Bob Dowell and Jack Dudley flitting around taking candid camera shots. And did they get some good ones! One, for instance, when Clark Moore was holding Marv Louise Malloy in a friendly embrace. Now don’t get excited, it was just a gesture for Bob’s camera. After all that commotion, Dick Fetters rang the gong to begin the banquet and proceeded to lead the members of the class of ’39 to their seats. On the way in I noticed Hattie Bowman, Mary Brain. Jean Brenstuhl, and Helen England, whose escorts were unknown to me. Then after we were seated, I noticed someone hobbling in on a pair of crutches. I had to look twice before I realized it was Dick Hoffman who, I hear, was in an automobile accident, but he seemed to be getting along fine with the help of his wife, the former Beatrice Hunter. My dear curious public, I must tell you that the place cards for this festive occasion were tin cans each with a graduation picture and the name of a member of the class of ’39 on it. The decorations, including the tin can place cards, were made by Grace Ellen Smith, Bet«e Rock. Helen Redd, and Iola Soil. For the first course in an elaborate dinner we had some strange concoction, which was prepared by the noted chef. Ned Rohitzer. He called his creation Hun- garian Gulash.” As the waiters, Paul Sample, Ed Scilex, Don White, and Bill Corsen, were carrying in this curious dish, there was a terrible crash, and when I looked to see what had happened, there lay Milton Smith in the middle of the Gulash. Well, after they got that mess cleaned up, (I mean the Gulash. of course), the banquet went on. I just happened to look up when I saw Warren Mizer nudge his little wife (Mary S'anhagen) and make her spill her coffee in her lap. And then the feudin’ began! Well, after the war was over, I got a chance to look around a little more, and I noticed on the other side of the room Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wright (nee Lillabell Trusler.) Johnnv Clark was then asked to give one of his latest poems. Boy, it sure was a honey! After he had finished, Winnie Thomas came in late, as usual, and found her place between Flora McBroom and Melba Eads. Turning around to pick up my handkerchief, I noticed Ruth Robinson, who is now a famous accordianist, having made her debut at Carnegie Hall last week. Of course she is going to play on the floor show, so we will be able to judge for our- selves her ability to tickle the ivories. Beside her I notice her old stand-by, Betty Hilliard. And say. there is little Leone Cavinee too, who is a blues singer here in the night club. My, what years can do to a person! Oh mv goodness, I almost for- got to te'l you that Bob Grandstaff has turned out to be the U. S. Ski Champion! And they tell me that he got married on his way back from Switzerland. I guess the Eskimos must go for blonds there too. Well, now that they have taken everything eatable away from me. I will have a little more time to dig up some dirt (news to you). My word, don’t tell me that that is Wilbur Milligan over there! Why, sure enough, and he has grown a mustache just to please his wife, Florence Moody. I declare, they even drove their new horse and CLASS PROPHECY Uggy to this big affair! And Eileen McKittrick and hubby Don Noble rode along loo. Glancing down at my program, I recognized some of the names on it. For in- stance, Bob Rock was the business manager of the McMillen and Outcalt Company, who printed the programs. The ice cream for this banquet was furnished by the Resinger and Scholl Non-Melting Ice Cream Company. When every one seemed to be taking time out for a smoke before the dance and floor show began, I seized the opportunity to do a little more looking around. Well, bless my soul, there is Thelma Haynes, a little cigarette girl selling her wares to Bill Conrad and Jack Tipple. And way over there in the corner is Cecil Freese chewing on a cigar. Cecil told me that he now has a grocery store all his own, and that Paul Goldsberry is quite an efficient errand boy. Cecil also said that he had yet to find a more capable secretary than Margaruite Bowman. Oh, dear, there is another one of those candid camera fans. Yes, I might have guessed as much. It’s Bob Edwards, and he surely got a swell picture of Robert Moore, Jack Hummell, and Melvin Kitchen, with a little excess punch in them. Speaking of punch, I hear Carlton Sherrick has gone into the boxing profession. Speaking of Boxing, Gail Wood owns a carton box factory. And speak- ing of cartons, Ralph Sieber manages a cigarette plant. That reminds me, Betty Singleton and Jean Vogel have gone into the greenhouse business. Kenny Tutwiler, who is now married to Betty Smith, is affiliated with the Pinchpenny Trust Company. Kathleen Eads and Helen Frazier are still hoping. You know, I hope, I have hoped, I am still hoping. Weil, after that news I went back to the ball-room where the majority of our old gang were still doing that old dance called the Shag. Betty Kiphen and hubby were doing a fancy sort of thing with Carl Lutz and wifie. nee Eileen Lindsay. Both of these young ladies were wearing gowns designed by Virginia Howard, who oper- ates the Vogue Shoppe here in Lancaster. Glenna Lane is her assistant I hear. Oh my word, just look how June Widener has her hair done! Why it’s all tied up in a knot on top of her head, with little miniature birds in cages all around the top. Well, this is 1949! You have to expect such things, I guess. She said she had it done at Anna Margaret Yeazel’s Beauty Shoppe. I then saw Emmett Collins and wondered what in the world had changed him so- he had a permanent. Why he was practically another Richard Greene! (That is if you have a good imagination). Elaine Miller and Garnet Phillips were wearing shoes made out of the same material as their dresses, and tied around the instep with big satin bows. My, my, what next? And I overheard Herb Staffer, who won the U. S. Bowling Championship in 1948, asking Ruth White to come down to Wolfinger’s bowl- ing alley and he would show her some of the tricks. Standing near the door were Shirley Solt and Juanita Weiss and their respective husbands, and from what I hear they are getting along fine. Fay Stedman and Mabel Orman are still waiting to be married. I hear, but Fay just says, “Give me time.” Gee whiz, I’ve given her ten whole years already! Everyone seemed so sorry that such a swell evening had to end, and that we all had to say goodbye for another year. I even noticed that Magda'ene Poulos, Pris- cilla Stracke, Ruth Bussart, and Eva Walker had tears in their eyes as they were leaving. As I thought of them and the many other friends who were parting, this old favorite quotation came to my mind: “There is a word of grief the sounding token. There is a word bejeweled with bright tears, The saddest words fond lips have spoken A little word that breaks the chain of years. Its utterance must ever bring emotion, The memories it crystals cannot die, ’Tis known in every land -on every ocean, ’Tis called Goodbye.” Jean Urquhart JUNIOR OFFICERS Here’s to the Jolly Juniors A class that’s growing in fame; May you live long and prosper And have an honorable name.

L F 0 0 T B A L STEVENS Senior Half-Back Jack gained much yardage against our op- ponents, and his speedy shoes will be hard to till. MOORE -Junior Quarter-Back Melvin’s delayed punts thrilled the coach as well as the spectators. He will be of great use to the team next year. WHITE--Senior Center The loss of Don’s ability and swift action will be acutely fe't in 1939’s lineup. KERNS—Senior End On account of his splendid pass receiving ability, Howard attained a position on the All Central Team. His wiP be a hard place to fill on the team for 1939. ENGLE Senior Tackle Roger will be great'y nrssed next year be- cause of his splendid ability to hold his side of the line. WELCH Junior Guard Gene, one of the six letter-men, is very de- pendable and will greatly benefit the team next year. YENRICK Junior Center Jim’s passes were accurate and his defensive work good. The team is fortunate to have him back next year. ACTON Junior Fullback Dick’s ability to break through the strong- est of lines secured for him a position on the All Central Team. He wi’l be valuable to the team in 1939. RAMSEY—Senior- Quarterback Co-Captain, Hal, was a great asset with his ability to gain yardage. Graduation will end his fine service. EASTMAN Senior End Harold filled his position we’l. His fine work will be missed in the future. McCLENAGHAN—ISenior Half-Back “Salty” was one of the fastest men on the team. His great ability to return punts wi'l be missed next year. SCILEX Senior Half-Back, Guard Ed’s fine sportsmanship will be ended by graduation. GRANDSTAFF -Senior Half-B ck On account of injuries, Bob was on the ben- ch for sometime, but in the game he showed good defense and was a reliable safety m n. He will be missed next season. WOLFINGER Senior—Guard “Rich” p’ayed good defensive ball and his blocking was also outstanding. Next year’s team will miss his service. ROBITZER Senior—Tackle Although Ned didn’t see much actual ser- vice, when on the field his teamwork was outstanding. He graduates this year. SHULL Junior- Guard Lloyd’s swiftness cut down the secondary tack’ers to let our team push ahead for gain. He is sure to be an asset to next year’s team. BO PE- Senior Ben’s outstanding work warranted him a po- sition on the All Central second team, as well as a place on the All Ohio team. L. If. S. is proud of you, Ben! ANDERSON-Senior—End On next year’s team, BiP’s place will be hard to fill for faithfulness and dependability. McCLINTOCK Junior Half Back Although Don was held back by leg injuries, he displayed some splendid work and will be a great asset to next year’s team.

The Gales in their first game showed no strong offensive of any particular type, and they muffed several scoring opportunities. After four quarters of dull combat the game ended in a scoreless tie. On September 23rd the boys journeyed to Steubenvil'e and were defeated in one of the hardest fought games of the year. Both teams left the field at the half in a scoreless tie, but the Big Red came back with surprising strength to down our squad 20 to 0. The league opener of the year was fought on home ground September 30th with Newark. The Gales, after a pep session, went onto the field determined to defeat thier scholastic riva’s. Our boys, after a hard fought battle, left the field with a 32-13 victory to their credit. O.n October 7th our team travelled to Zanesville. In spite of the enthusiastic brek- ing of our band and a large number of L. H. S. students the Blue Devils trampled the Ga’es 21-12. On October 14th the Cambridge Brownies took possession of the local gridiron. After battling in a 7-7 deadlock for nearly two quarters, the Brownies kicked a field goal to win the game 10-7. Both teams played splendid ba'l. The Golden Gales invaded the Coshocton Redskins’ Camp on October 21st, only to be turned away by a 14-0 defeat. The Gales played an outstanding defensive game, but could not get their offensive machinery to work. On October 28th the Marietta Tigers “roared” into Lancaster, but were defeated 7-6. Our team, displaying their best form of the season, made history in this thrilling game as it was the first time that a Marietta team ever went down in defeat under the Gales driving power. Congratulations, boys! On November 4th the Logan Chieftons journeyed to Lancaster to avenge their last year’s defeat. At the half they were leading 12-7, but the Gales came back in the second half and rushed the Chieftons with great driving power. After the dust of the battle had settled, the scoreboard showed that the Loganites had again bowed to Lancaster 29-13. Armistice Day, a day of peace, meant nothing to the team, for it fought a hard battle with the Blue Lions from Bexley. The Gales slowed down from their usual pace, however they defeated their opponents 7-6 in a dull game. Thanksgiving Day, when the Gales met Chillicothe, was a sad one for thirteen gridders as it was their last game to be played in defense of L. H. S. The boys fought to the end in four inches of snow, but it was a futile attempt. Because of a blocked punt early in the game, the Chillicothe team scored. Our boys lost by a small margin 6-0. As the final gun sounded, the two squads, wet, cold and somewhat downhearted, left the field completing another football Season. We congratulate the boys of the Purple and Gold for the sportsmanship they showed in 1938.

Bill might be called the “dark horse” of the team, because of his great improvement from the beg nning of the season. He will be a real threat next year. KERNS, Senior, Guard.

The breeze gained strength, began to blow, Circleville and the Miners were both laid low. Then the twisting tornado struck Coshocton one night And the redskins tumbled before it's might. At Chillicothe the breeze died down, The Cavaliers took us to town. Now the Gale was enraged, it howled with vim And blew old King Newark right out of the gym. The squall then struck Marietta way Toppled over the floodwall, and won the fray. The ZanesviMe Bluedevils were caught in the storm And hustled back home, all tattered and torn. The St. Mary’s game was a lull in the squall The air was so calm, we just won the ba’l. It grew calm and more quiet, the breeze scarcely whispered. Cambridge tanned us so badly. I’m sure that it blistered. But the Golden Gale rose, trees swayed in its might It battered Coshocton, a terrible sight. Logan came in at the end of the blow— But a huffin’ and puffin' it laid the Chiefs low. Then we hit the doldrums, the gale seemed to fade Marietta was hot, and put us in the shade. 'Twas a zephyr that went to Zanesville that week, We absorbed a shellacking and came home quite meek. The calm spell continued, so Cambridge came o’er, To hand out a thumping, that left us real sore. But the breeze revived 'n moved 'round the town. It tackled St. Mary's and “blowed the boys down.” Now the moral is this, You can’t win them all. You can’t shoot a basket, not having the ball. I’m not a smart feller, but this much I know, You can’t have a Gale, unless you all blow! WINDY FEATURE RANDOM SHOTS AT L. H.

Opportunity is waiting for you ! There is a steadily growing de- mand for ambitious young people in business offices. A recent nation-wide survey among busi- ness schools brought out the fact that employment calls had in- creased over the previous year. The starting positions pay rea- sonably «rood salaries. The work in stenographic, bookkeeping and iunior executive positions is fas- cinating and challenging. From these starting positions, young men and young women who dem- onstrate their ability are promot- ed to positions of greater trust and responsibility. They become private secretaries, accountants, office managers, sales managers, general managers and executives in other high offices. But these opportunities are not for everyone. They are reserved by exacting employers for the foresighted young men and young women who recognize t’ at special- ized business training is indispen- sable in getting a start. “You are what you ARE today on account of what you DII) yesterday.” WHERE you are a year from now may depend upon whether you decide to prepare for a business position.
