Expression . . . If we do not want to be fooled as our fathers were fooled into think- ing that they had made an enduring peace, we must exercise our free- dom of thought—our freedom to try to think straight. We must try to judge ideas in the light of the straightest thinking of the past .... And so, we will choose to study science or mathematics or languages or history or literature or music, and, with all, the teachings of Christ—in which internationalism and democracy are rooted deep.......It is pos- sible to have agreement in any field and yet permit different points of view. But unless we compare the different views, we have no right to draw conclusions—which makes the selfish view ridiculous and tolerance essential .... Modesty and humility as well as self-reliance should char- acterize our thinking, for the peace of the world depends upon thought- ful planning and not upon the crooked thinking of the Hitlers or the inertia of the mass-mind. JUWLa, Selection of Classes All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Recreation is prescribed for us all—recreation out-of-doors, in the gym, in the library, at school and Y dances, at club meetings, at games, at the canteen. Let us be so- ciable—let us know many kinds of people, be responsible members of school groups—so that we may help build a friendlier world . . . Above all, let us avoid an overdose of play. The immediate effect may be exhila- rating, but the later results are highly dangerous. A steady diet of pleas- ure will cause drowsiness and stu- pidity. We may never become adults, but remain children . . . We must not be caught napping at this critical period of our lives like the nations that drifted along in pleasure and awoke too late to the Nazi threat. and Work Prescribed y When a man has a hard job to do, he must avail himself of all possible tools, for otherwise he may find it impossible to do it at all. And so, if we want to be foreign correspondents, we must know languages; and if we want to be engineers and build bridges and things, we must know mathematics ... It takes a little effort to drive a car, or to swim, or to do almost any- thing! But if the result is worthwhile, why growl at the effort? After all, the only way to make no effort at all is to be dead! acu£tj. r •PRZSCR PT ON• so men ana[ women + Jeacc(e tAAip and VLncUx ajddincf = JL e nenJ: touscuic p.ea.ce. • • THEY PRESCRIBE BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Arthur Vlerebome President Mr. Harold Brandon Mr. Harry Herdman Mr. Clarence Ochs Vice President Mr. Edgar Campbell Mr. T. L. Hewetson Clerk At Lancaster High School, you can be just about what you want to be, if you will apply a little intelligence and a lot of effort to the offerings which your school affords. First, of course, all of us have the op portunity of learning how to live happily together, under conditions which are typically American. Incidentally, we be- come good leaders or good followers, or both. A student who is interested in obtain- ing a college education can secure the necessary two years of mathematics, two years of a foreign language, and two sciences, and have plenty of time to study subjects in other fields such as art, music, business, industry, home making. or agriculture. Or he can concentrate on college preparatory subjects by taking as many as four years of either Latin or Spanish, four years oi higher mathe- matics, five sciences, and an extra year of English. A boy can become a skilled machinist in our trades and industries department, or he can prepare for quick adjustment to any occupation involving the skillful use of hand or power tools, by enrolling in our wood shop, metal shop, and draft- ing classes. He can become a scientific farmer, a salesman, a business leader, or a chef right here in our own school. All he needs to do is to choose his courses carefully and work toward a definite goal. THE ELEMENTS ADMINISTRATION Mr. Paul Wenger Superintendent Mr. O. H. Schaaf Principal Miss Ruth Hudson Assistant Principal Our girls may learn how to make a home out of a house, how to nourish a family— not just stuff stomachs. They can learn to make clothing, which, perhaps, money could not buy ready-made, both for themselves and for children. They can learn practical nursing for home use or for the purpose of earning a living. Secretaries, bookkeepers, saleswomen, music teachers, and waitresses are prod- ucts of Lancaster High School's many departments. Listen! Knock, knock, knock. They say opportunity knocks but once. But at L.H.S. it knocks continuously. Do you hear it? O. H.

Sage seniors now, we look behind And peer into the distant past. We hardly see our freshman year— We’ve changed so much; we’re grown at last. Its outlines slowly are discerned: Quite lost we were and half afraid, But soon we felt that we belonged” And with our fears o’ercome, we stayed. As sophomores, dissatisfied, We catered to the upper class; We jumped at every beck and call. In awe we humbly watched them pass. And then, last year, that blissful dream We had of upper-classmen ceased. We felt no different than before; What dignity we had, decreased. But suddenly we realize That soon our school days will be o’er; And, serious, we face it now— We are the ones that fight this war. Now we depart with seeming joy. Oh, yes, we’re glad we’re through,” we say; But in our hearts we shed a tear, Then brush it hastily away. And soon we’ll step out through the doors Of L.H.S-, our Mater dear. With memories of years well spent, We meet our future without fear. —Betty Jeanne Nichols CLASS HISTORY When we, the Class of '45, entered a strange, new auditorium the morning of September 6, 1941, to receive significant instructions before starting out on our daily course of study, we had no con- ception of the irregularities that would loom before us during our four years of higher learning. In fact we had hardly enough time to get acguainted with the routine of school life, when we again found ourselves as- sembled in the auditorium on the event- ful morning of December 8, 1941, listen- ing to President Roosevelt's Declaration of War with Japan. In an endeavor to further the war effort, the Honor Society originated the sale of war bonds and stamps soon after our country's declaration of war. and we, as freshmen, helped sell hundreds of dol- lars worth of stamps before the close of the school year. To guide us through our first year in high school, we chose Bill Thompson, president; Paul Miller, vice president; Marilyn Brain, secretary; and Patty Sells, treasurer. This was an eventful year for us in sports. Under the leadership of Esco Sarkkinen, the football team made con- tact with the Central Ohio League cham- pionship. The following year found us more ac- customed to high school work, and we proceeded to make a name for ourselves in high school annals. This was an exceptionally good year in the way of assembly programs. We will never forget our sophomore all-star as- sembly program. This Is The Army, which proved to the upperclassmen that we could rival anything they might do to entertain the students. On September 14, we elected Fritz, Plinke president of the sophomore class, with Dick Altman, vice president, Barbara Mettler, secretary, and Bob Nance, treas- urer. On January 13, our assistant principal, Mr. Neff, died suddenly of a heart attack at his home. After the death of Mr. Neff, Mr. Pratl assumed the duties of assistant prin- cipal, with mounting school absenteeism attributed to the manpower shortage. We will always remember this year as one which featured a variety of novelty dances. It was also our last year under the guid ance of our principal, Mr. Porter, whc resigned to accept a position as Person nel Director of the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation. On September 8, 1943, we entered the portals of Lancaster High School as juniors, and soon found that our new principal, Mr. Schaaf, had won our loya support and friendship in his untirinc efforts to improve every phase of ou: school life. This year Tom Kaumeyer held the reins of the junior class assisted by Fritz Plinke vice president; Patty Selis, secretary; anc Dick Dunnington, treasurer. We were disappointed this year tc learn that there would be no Purple Pep per because not enough interested indi viduals turned out for the staff. But this year the school concentratec its efforts on the national war emergency and went over the top of its $100,000.01 goal for bond sales early in January, sue ceeding in doubling the amount by the close of the school year. It was also this winter that the openinc of school after Christmas vacation wa; delayed two weeks because of an influ enza epidemic, and for the first time then were neither mid-year nor final exams The student council led the students ii drives for the Junior Red Cross, th March of Dimes, wastepaper salvage, anc the collection of sales tax stamps. Thi organization also sponsored noon anc after-school dances, renting a juke bo: with their stamp collections. Nineteen hundred and forty-three wa also a year for enlistment of many of ou teachers in the armed forces. Amon them were Mr. Esco Sarkkinen, our coach Mr. Frank W. Ferguson, our industria arts instructor; Mr. Robert O. Davis, cc CLASS HISTORY dinator of the Smith-Hughes program, !iss Ana C. Miesse, supervisor of art, id Mr. Newton C. Beal, director of our loir and orchestra, as well as supervisor music in all Lancaster schools. As our first class play, we chose A foman of Fifteen”, with Miss Brown to ad us. Rounding up our junior year, we re- ember the gala time we had at the Junior rom, one of the highlights of our years . high school. Heading into the final limelight of our :hool career, we were greeted with new 'ade cards that we learned gave a com- ete picture of a student's standing in ich subject. We were also greeted with the pros- tet of a youth club sponsored by local ubs and individuals to combat juvenile 5linquency brought about by the war. nis canteen proceeded to great heights rough the co-operation and teamwork of jndreds of students, and was responsi- e for the personal appearance of several itertainers at the club, among them ;e Early Worm”, from radio station LB.N.S., Columbus. For one of our class activities, we chose combined hayride and wiener roast. Miss Hudson kept busy with her duties 5 assistant principal and adviser of the tudent Council as well as the Big Sister lub, but she managed very efficiently. fe also vaguely recollect her giving us preference test to indicate what sort of ork we might enjoy doing. We were quite proud of the special as- ?mbly programs that we sponsored with toney from our class treasury, and trilled when we learned that the junior ass would follow in our foosteps. We ad set a precedent! We will also remember the school ances cancelled because of the fuel mergency. But, oh boy, those days :hool was dismissed! Then John Miller came into our life, anny Johnson was the lucky fellow, and liss Yauger and Mr. Johnson had the honor of directing the senior class play, The Poor Nut , the action of which took place at Ohio State University. A dance band of our own! That's what we had in the L.H.S. Swing Band which played frequently for our enjoyment at the Gay-Teen Clubrooms. Boys dominated the class offices this year with Fritz Plinke as president, Dick Altman as vice president, and the two offices of secretary and treasurer held by Bob Totten. We also remember Carol Clark's pre- siding as queen at the homecoming fes- tivities of the Dover game. Many world shaking events punctuated our senior year. President Roosevelt's death on April 12 shocked the entire world. On April 16, we were again as- sembled in the auditorium to hear Presi- dent Truman's address to Congress and again on May 8, to hear the President's proclamation of victory in Europe. For variety and entertainment, we all discovered that our Junior-Senior Recep- tion far exceeded any previous classes' Junior-Senior Banquet and Senior Ball. And to think that the expense for the whole affair, including the orchestra and floor show, was paid from the combined class treasuries! Ringing down the curtain on our un- usual and spectacular school life, are the Class Night, May 25, the Baccalaureate Service on May 27, and the Commence- ment Exercises on May 31. Thus comes to a close the career of an- other graduating class of Lancaster High School. We have watched many of our classmates enlist or be drafted into the armed services, and many more in our group will probably follow their foot- steps. But all of us, whatever we do, will reap great harvests from our four years of high school learning, even though it was constantly challenged by outside activities and influences. DONALD BAILEY.

IRICK Faculty Manager RALPH CROOK Reserve Football Coach COACHES... Although Lancaster didn't take the Cen- tral Ohio Championship this year, the team deserves a great amount of credit. The team consisted of a group of hard- fighting boys who played with good spirit all season. They went into every game with that fight and determination for which Lancaster teams have been famous in past years, winning 3 games, tieing 2, and losing 4. With the co-operation of the faculty coaches, players, and student body as a whole, the 1944 football season must be considered a successful one. We should be proud of the '44 team. In addition to the football team, the managers, Bill Cunningham and his as- sistants, B. Kaumeyer, B. Jack, D. Van- Horn, F. Hoffman, and B. Dunnington, also deserve much praise.

BASKETBALL... A great amount of commendation is due to the Golden Gale's basketball team and their coaching staff this year. Everybody put forth his best efforts. Out of the sixteen regular scheduled games they won seven and lost nine; four of these wins were in the Central Ohio League. Many of these losses were by only a very few points. All of Lancaster's opponents this year were tough teams; therefore we can consider this a rather good record. Although Lancaster did win the mino ity of the games the team showed the ability to play excellent basketball wit fine team play and good sportsmanshij Special praise should also be given t the team for their success in the tourn ment. They took the district champioi ship played in Athens by defeating Mar etta in the finals. Excitement mounted still higher whe the finals were played at Zanesville. Lai caster held Canton-McKinley to a 47-£ score.
