INITIATIONS — L AT IN CLUB LOS CABALLEROS T. AND I. Seniors at work and at play!!! They do both wholeheart- edly — Well — most of the time, anyway. Want a ride? Choose your type of transportation — We have it. ‘‘Timmy doesn’t go with the car, however — ex- cept maybe in very extra-special cases. 27 It takes a lot of work to prepare for our good times — The cooks labor in the kitchen; the musicians have to practice; the janitor puts on coal to keep us comfortable; and Mr. Tobias takes our pictures. 28 Work before play! Faculty and students caught in off- guard moments—including our principal. The 1949 Football Banquet was an outstanding event on the school calendar. Sponsored by the local Booster Club, this affair was bigger and better than ever. Mr. Brown, our principal, did a splendid job as toastmaster, and the speaker, Otto Graham of Cleveland Brown fame, praised not only the team that can win graciously but also the good loser. JO Mr. Miller’s star student. P. J. claimed it paid more attention than any other student. However, P. J. also learned something. He can now bark’’ almost as well as the dog. )i Row One—Mary Bangham, Betty Clark. Jim Andrews. Margaret Imlay, David Crook Row Two—Natalie Burdotto, Mary Alice Drinklc. Mary Elizabeth Randolph, Pcarleene Keller. Moriorie Russell Row Three—Jerry Floyd. Jock Reed. Jim Edgington, George Hauensfcin. Bill Thomos, Charles Wagner Joyce Lewis and Frances Rooker were absent when the picture was taken. SENIOR PLAY One Foot in Heaven was portrayed by a fine Senior cast. The play was based on the trials and tribulations of a minister’s family in their fight against bigotry and prejudice. After struggles in many com- plicated and sometimes amusing situations, a new church and parson- age were finally built under the leadership of the minister, and over the objections of some pillars of the church. J2 THOUGHTS OF A SENIOR With many a shudder and sorrowful sigh We watch the short summer months hasten by, We look to the days when we trudge off to school. When our manner is mournful and the days are cool. But we also look to dances and football And laughter and joshing and talk in the hall. Looking forward to these we find school not so sad. And our faces grow happy, for we really are glad! The first year skims by on wings of sound And soon we find the second's come ’round. We’re not so loathe to leave summer's fun. In fact, we re eager to see everyone. Of our sophomore year to tell there’s not much, More games, more dances, and Latin, and such. In play we’re absorbed; for study—less time. While long-suffering teachers try to keep us in line. Soon we’re jaunty Juniors, big and wise, Quite worthy of envy in the freshmen's eyes. We now know school's not such a grind. Because we've found many people who want to be kind. Our days hove been hoppy and our job well done, So we look to the last year, the prize we have won. Our projects, successful, win fame and praise; The Juniors retire in a burst and a blaze. We're Seniors! The Present o'ershadows the Post. We've much to do and we must do if fast! We flutter about in a flurry of excitement. And between it all, there's learning for our enlightenment. Then it’s arrived. Graduation Doy. We're a little sad, but we try to be gay. We must say forewell to the friends we hove made. The school chums and teachers that came to our aid. Now we look unafraid to the Future ahead. We feel we hove gained by the books we have read, But we've learned far more than books have to say. We've learned most from living—the very best way. JUNIORS Joe Markwood. Pres.: Fred Poling.

Totten, Thomas—Vice-President, Kindlor STUDENT COUNCIL This group of representatives of the student body takes an active part in high school life. Each year they sponsor two dances — strictly for free. This year they were responsible for putting out a handbook describing the various clubs and activities of L. H. S. and explaining school policies and rules for poor, bewildered freshmen (and maybe for upperclassmen, too). Members are elected by classmates from each report room, and they may well feel honored to be a part of the Student Council. 4t Those students rating highest in scholarship, character, service, and leadership are the ones fortunate enough to claim membership in this organization. Tapping ceremonies (at which hopefuls nervously sit on the edges of their seats, biting their nails) are held near the end of the junior year and then twice during the senior year. Spurred on by the contests which Mr. Smart and Honor Society members cook up. large amounts of sales tax stamps have been collected for the student loan fund.

Mounting Loyout 1949 MIRAGE STAFF 46 We’re the ones who've worked so hard to bring this book to you. The jobs we do vary from those of typing, writing copy and collecting money to help our somewhat wobbly finances, to pestering Miss Baker, our patient adviser. We've spent many hours, both in and out of school working on and worrying about the Mirage; but now, if it meets with your approval, we shall be content. THE MIRAGE STAFF AT WORK 11111 NOTE THE LOOK OF DETERMINATION! • 7 Stage Crew Row One—Figgint, Mr. Iriek, Turner Row Two — Ety. Westhoven, Reid. Yoder First Aid Row One — Pursoll, Rudolph, Householder Row Two — Russoll, Whitolcy. Brondf, Kellor STAGE CREW This brawny group does much more work than the student body realizes. They can be found backstage '’skittering” up and down ladders and swinging on ropes, giving out with Tarzan yells almost any time of the day — and overtime, too — operating curtains, lights and scenery for plays, concerts and other activities. FIRST AID These girls are the ones to see if a band-aid or just a sympathetic word is needed. Each girl spends a period a day helping the school nurse cope with the multitude of ailments that students think up—er rather, are afflicted with. 48 Office Staff Row One — Yeoxol. Mocker. Hozlett, Keller, Beatty Row Two—Householder, Seim- or, Hartman. Lowry, Geiger, Dykes Row Three—Rudolph. Cheva- lier, Brown, Brandt, Butchor M.P.S.O. Row One — Hickman. Irskens, Wagner. White. Hiles Row Two—Friesner, Hunter. Mr. Shower. Hedges, Peck Row Throo — Rauch. DeLong, Bronstuhl, Johnson, Lynn. Ar- ledgo Row Four—P. Thomas, Strawn, Gardner, Smith, B. Thomas OFFICE STAFF When Miss Hudson wants someone to come to her office she sends a member of the office staff to fetch him, These girls also take care of the daily absence. This includes listing, recording, issuing of absence slips (yes, pink ones, too), and call- ing parents — just to check up. M.P.S.O. The boys in this organization are a big help in our visual education program. They labor industriously assembling pro- jection equipment, operating the motion picture projector, and flicking light switches on and off. 49 Usherettes Row One—Smith, Kelley, Ran- dolph, Clark, Hershfiold. Sweeney Row Two — Hermann, Beck, Mrs. Carr, Lowis, Knollor Row Throo—Hunter, Hartman, Hoxlett, Wolls, Wilson Library Staff Row One — Hines, Zaayer, Wrightsol, Rodman, J. Clark, Shall, Randolph Row Two—Black, Miller, Pol- ing, Wedge. B. Jenkins. M. Jenkins, Knight Row Three—Mowory, Capron, George, McGee, White. Lisk, Smith USHERETTES These girls, looking very chic in their black skirts with white blouses and black ties, are on hand at all school programs to escort our visitors to their seats. (Indeed, they might otherwise go fumbling around all night.) They also assist at the Exchange Club plays and the Community Concerts. LIBRARY STAFF The work of library staff members consists not only of checking books and magazines in and out, but also of carrying library slips to study hall teachers, dusting off those long, long rows of books, and patiently erasing mustaches from the upper lips of those gorgeous girls in the magazines. ?o T.

Every Thursday evening the machine shop is open so that they may come and do whatever work they wish to do. Mr. Kelley is usually around to see that they stay within reason. CAFETERIA STAFF The cafeteria staff can be found each noon dishing it out with efficiency and dispatch. Since proper nutrition results in better students, this group deserves a vote of thanks for helping students acquire bigger and better brain cells. u Row One—Purcell. Van Horn. C. Kiiller, Rodman.

Wilkinson, Briggs LOS CABALLEROS If you should chance to hear a cheery iSaludos, amigo! there is no fugitive from south of the border at large in our halls —it’s merely one Spanish Club member greeting another. Membership in Los Caballeros is restricted to those students who have maintained a B average or better in first-year Spanish. Those star students are first inducted into the Club at an impressive candlelight service, but after this formal initia- tion, new members are treated to a decidedly informal one— complete with raw liver . . . And caballeros means gentle- men! 52 Row One—Nichols. Goodman, Kumler, Woodgeard, T. Smith. Thomas, Amend! Row Two—Russell—Treasurer. S. Smith. Reed. Rooker, Brown, Wilson.

In fact, it has been rumored that the Club boasts of good old Cicero as a past member. Students must have at least a B average in freshman Latin to be eligible for membership. New members are traditionally initiated at Rising Park, where all enjoy 111 the wild assortment of raw oysters, spaghetti, and limburger cheese which they are forced to swallow. n A Cappella Choir Row On©—Hawkins, Bradloy, J.

Membership is open to any student who has helped in the production of a play — that is, anything from actually appearing on stage, to helping with properties, prompting, or make-up — or who has nerve enough to give a declamation before the Club or other group. 56 ONE-ACT PLAYS Scenes from JERRY BREAKS A DATE, BALCONY SCENE, AND HAPPY JOURNEY.

A. C. The oims of the Girls' Athletic Club ore to promote interest in health, sportsmanship, and recreation. This year the main project of the Club was the purchase of a “snazzy new electric score board for the gym- nasium. The requirement for membership is 350 points, earned by participat- ing in intramurals. If a girl isn't too exhausted after that, she may earn a numeral requiring 750 points, a letter for 1500 points, and if she is really stouthearted, a bracelet for 2500 points. GYM LEADERS It would be an almost superhuman feat for one person to handle gym classes as large as those of Miss Gesling and Mr. McCashen without assistants. To solve this problem, a few of the better athletes are assigned to each gym class to help out. Their job is to set a good example for those students just learning the ropes and to help in issuing towels, refereeing, and various other tasks. 59 Y-TEEN Row One—Milligan, Pickering, Perry, Collins, Ulmer, Craiglow, Get: Row Two—Keller.

Orchids to Mr. “Mac , whose courage and pa- tience have made this group popular in all Central Ohio. Three out-of- town trips — Logan, Zanesville, and Circleville — were a lot of fun and good experience for the members. Drum major Harold Kelch also de- serves applause for his fancy stepping and capable handling of the band. 62 The twenty-four-piece orchestra is directed by Mr. McIntyre. They vie with the noise of audiences before many school programs. Though a little short on strings, the orchestra has done a fine job. ORCHESTRA Row One—Kigcr, Ochs, Van Gundy, Eslinger, Yenrick.

Francij, Athletic Director and Head Coach Bernard McCashen. Assistant Foot- ball and Basketball Coach James Papritan, Assistant Football and Freshman Basketball Coach Ray Coleman, Assistant Football Coach and Trock Coach Anthony Martin, Baseball Coach Earl Irick, Athletic Manager COACHING STAFF The L. H. S. coaching staff had its hands full this past year. Thanks to good coaching, the athletes have brought home the bacon on just about every outing. Of course, this shows that a well-coached team does well in action. After all, with a football team that loses only one game, a basketball team that bows only twice during its regular season, and a track team that turns out a boy who holds a national high school record, it looks like Lancaster has put a big mark in the record books around Ohio this year. What say we give a big pat on the back to the whole coaching staff? 70 7t IT’S ALL IN KNOWIN’ HOW . . . THIS IS THE WAY WE BEAT COSHOCTON AND MARIETTA. PAUL ETY An oil - C.O.L. linoman, Paul wo o Hollar guard and he’ll be back next yeor os the team's cop- tain. KENNY LESCALLEET Kenny was one of those boys built lor his position. With his six foot plus, ho handled his job vory well. EO MILLER Ed was on© of those big tocklos that stopped many touchdowns for the other team. He graduates this year. RAY THIMMES Anothor sixty-minute per- formor, Timmy really filled his fullback spot and also stopped 'om cold on defonso. He’ll be in thoro luggin' leather for onother season. BOB CARPENTER Up from Bromon this sea- son. Bob saw a lot of oc tion in the halfback slot. TOM PLINKE Tom did a lot of quartor- backing. It was Tom who did most of tho punting and the kicking of tho all- important extra points. He is graduating this yoar. NORMAN WHITE Norm ployed his center position lor sixty minutes in almost every game. Ho was also o sior on de- fense. Gale opponents will have to face him again noxt year. DICK HERDMAN Dick handled his halfback spot like a veteran. Ho was a hard runner ond hard to Stop. JERRY MORRIS This boy played hard and long in his guard spot. It's too bod he won't be around next yoar. JOE MUCK Also a quarterback. Joe was a good boll hondlor and did a lot of possing. This wos Joe's lost year. FOOTBALL 7: FOOTBALL BILL ARLEDGE This loll, blond chop hold up his ond of the line. Ho ployed with determina- tion, and will bo missed noxt yoar. JACK PURCELL Jock was as busy os could bo looping oil the loom sotisfiod ond believe me that's o |ob. Ho’ll bo around to onswor colls noxt year. FRED POLING If short on stature Froddy is long on ability. His twisting ond turning brought him o C. O. L. berth and honoroblo men- tion on the All - Ohio loom. Freddy will bo bock for better things noxt yoar. BOB ARLEDGE JACK REED Bob and Jack also work- ed hard to make things run smoothly. Bobbie's a Sophomoro b u t Jack graduatos this yoar. JIM EDGINGTON Jim fought and played hard. He was a big help to toom spirit ond will bo missed next season. JUNIOR SHERBURN Junior didn't seo much action but played his hardest when he got into the backfiold. JIM REID Jim’s sizo ond ability fill- ed any holes thoro might have been in the line. Ho had the honor of being olectod captain for tho '48 sooson. If will toko a couplo of good boys to fill Jim's shoos next year. BILL GRAF Hampered somo by in- juries. Bill worked his guard spot with ability ond will provo his worth next sooson. LOUIS WITTMAN When Louio ployod ho played hard and his ex- perience will bo valuablo noxt season.

At the final gun of the season, they had accumu- lated a total of 9 wins and I loss. They opened at Logan with a 27 to 6 win over the Chieftains. At home they defeated Linden McKinley 35 to 0. The Gales went on the road and downed Coshocton 19 to 0. At 74 EVERYBODY WANTS IN THE ACT!!! EVEN G.G. FOOTBALL North Field they defeated Cambridge 26 to 6. Traveling to Zanesville, they defeated the Blue Devils 42 to 20 in a fast scoring game. Home- coming— our one and only black mark — Newark took us 17 to 0. Lancaster came back to defeat Ironton 7 to 6 on their own field. Then at Marietta, the Gales lorded it over the Tigers 33 to 0. Once more at North Field we took the controls, to down Dover 19 to 13, and in the last game of the season the Tornadoes flashed by Delaware 33 to 19. Even with the loss of quite a few boys, there are high hopes of a good team next year. ?

The Gales flashed up and down the boards 20 times in their regular season and no one expected them to come out with one of the best records in the state. Their two losses were by the margin of one point and were on the home courts of Coshocton and Dover. It was a team — the fellows worked together like clock work. Another high point of the season was the fact that the Gales defeated the Wildcats from Newark TWICE in one season. 78 VARSITY SCHEDULE AND SCORES Loncoster 57 Colymbus North 31 Lancaster 48 Dover 49 Loncostor 65 Logan 39 Loncostor 38 Nowork’ 35 Lancaster 44 Coshocton 45 Loncostor 66 Circlevillo 42 Lancaster 44 Marietta 27 Lancaster 55 Zanesville 38 Loncoster 36 Dover 23 Lancaster 63 Cambridge 45 Loncoster 4?

Lancaster has had teams in the past, but this was the first one in about ten years. The fellows, directed by “Doc Coleman, didn’t win all of their meets or run up big scores, but they gained that all-important experience. They worked hard and looked good in action. The outstanding surprise of the team was Gene (Flash) Cole, who although new to the game like the rest of the boys, proved himself to be the hero of the season. Gene lost only one race during his brief high school career. He ran against some very talented and capable speedsters. In fact, he proved himself to be one of the best in the country. At Ohio State Stadium last spring, Gene set a new national high school record in the 440-yard dash. The team bowed out with hopes of an ever better future. GENE COLE si Row Ono—Sweft, Purtoll.

In looking over the records, we see that most of their big scores are in the win column. Hey! What’s this? They played a game in the Red Bird Stadium? And Johnny Heft hit a ball clear to the left field wall for a home run? In the Red Bird Stadium, that ain’t easy. Well, those are some of the highlights of a successful season, and you can bet that they will be back trying for a better record come ball- playing time again. 82 John (Pete) Shaw closed out in the 110 high hurdles by Chillicothe Harold Kelch on deck Jim Reid on his way to 1 st.

Volleyball tournaments began shortly after tennis, with about 250 girls participating. Sue King’s team claimed the honor of being champs.” Bowling followed volleyball with approxi- mately 150 girls giving the pinboys a workout. Basketball, badminton, S4 MURALS ping-pong, and softball completed the year, but too late to meet the Mirage deadline. The champion volleyball team consisted of the follow- ing girls: Susan King—Captain, Connie Hermann, Mary Alice Drinkle, June Stover, Peg Porter, Jane Fouse, Nancy Wells. Barbara Beck, Cynnie Briner, Joyce Herdman. 85 CALENDAR September 7—Reedin', Ritin', Rithmetic — School opened. September 9—Freshman Boys Mixer — Gomes and refreshments.
