My soul its secret has, My life too has its mystery. Myrtle has -just come to us last year, having spent part of her high school career in Millersville, and we certainly do appreciate her readiness in class. Many a time has this smiling, baby-voiced lassie saved the day in English class with her unfailing knowledge of English History. Myrtle is hitching her wagon to a star .

One look at this little lady and you will think- Ah, at last, a quiet, old-fashioned lassie -but 'there is just where you are all wrong, as you can't tell a book by its cover. As for being quiet, oh! if she only sometimes were-no offense meant, Dizzie, but you know you really are quite a talker. Now, I'll let you in on a secret-- whenever teddy bears are mentioned, Dizzie's face gets a little Nj pink. lVhy? Vllell, I've heard that Dizzie is well acquainted with a certain Ted, H This young lady 's chief Worrinient is-typewriting errors.

There was a time when 'Lillian was fond of Buds not IVilbur or rosebuds, either, but late- ly her taste has run to Bobs.

PAUL BALMER ffslwweyff General Course Football 1433 Eleutherian Literary Society 14l.' - Here is the shiek from Leola. Shorty is very pop- ular among the fellows of our class and is always in for a good time. He is a good sport and a lot of fun was had with him by the football team. Although no regu- lar on the team, when he got in a game 'fShorty,' was a hard lighter. There is only one thing wrong with Shorty and that is whenever you touch him he jumps a mile off of the ground and leaves out a blood curdling yell which is enough to scare the dead. Shorty is al- ways acting a fool and I believe Mr. Madison was right when he said Balmer is the clown of the school. Well Shorty you are all right and the class of M '26 wishes you the best of sue less. 1 JEAN BAUMAN ' Zfecm ' ' General Course Glee Club 1433 Organized Chorus 11-2-313 Florentine Literary So- ciety 11-4Jg Art Club 1315 Science Club 143.

It might be truthfully said that .Iean's motto is Much study is a weariness of the fieshf' She believes that we should not overwork ourbrains. That's quite right, Jean.

Behold the iron nian of our class. Possessed of a pow- erful physique his only regret is that he didn't use it on the athletic lield. He knows more about the Colonial than Mr. Howell himself and the worst part of it is that he admits it. In fact if the actresses don't see Ralph in the front row they naturally die of disappointment C or is it relicff? Ralphis a good sport though and we wish him luck. RICHARD BECKLEY J 'Dick Social Cominittee 1375 Hi-Y Club C393 Christmas Play Coinniittee I-43. Mr. Herr thought the 1925 class too fast a crowd for Dick , That's why he's graduating with us. How- ever, we'll wager Mr. Herr would have changed his op- inion about Dick, if he had only been with Richard the night some dare-devil cop ot' the Mountville Police Force held Dick up on the charge of HOl16-3.1'11l- ed driving under an arclight. lYe all were mighty interested as to the whereabouts of his other arm on that particular occasion till the mystery was cleaned up one day when Dick dryly piped, Oh, Have-a- Stick, will ya ?

Tl1is kind-hearted lassie is our most studious student. She always knows her lesson, and never refuses to help any of her more careless sister class-mates. Selina us- ually-spends her sunnner vacations in Tennessee, and we hear soniething of a boy-you understand, of course, a certain cousin. Don't niind us teasing you, Selma, niost girls have a special cousin. After finishing hercollege course, Selina is going to be a teacher, and Mid '26 knows she is going to be a success, since she has had considerable practice in that vocation in old Stevens High.

The quotation, good goods conle in sinall packages finds a fine example in Dick . He gets there just the same though. He finds great trouble in holding fast to his jewelry, especially his basketball. Dick', is a con- verted cavalier in so far as he has a habit of having his dates in automobiles? Some time that road louse he is so often seen in is going to fall apart and thereby save a lot of people the trouble of losing their religion.

She has the gift of Midas and is sure to find a pot of gold at the end of her rainbow. A goodly harvest will certainly be reaped by this young wizard, in the business world, where the speed machine is king. Her secretarial training is largely helped by her correspondence with a certain stud- ent at Penn university. Good luck, Helen!

She dotes on taking up a class period arguing- for which we all heartily thank you-at least, when we 80 vinnrcm ANNUAL don't know our lesson. But lVillie doesn't always cle- bate. She also studies conscienciously HJ as all stud- ents should. Eleanor loves basketball and football and goes to all the games. Yllillie paints beautifully. She does all the designing for the M '26 class-you might call her the class designer. Eleanor claims her chief ani- bition is to be a physical directress but anyone who can draw so well should be a designer. lVe give you our heartiest Wishes for success.

Ha! Ha! Ha! This is Bibbles.,' Her merry laugh can be heard every period of the day. When she laughs she wiggles her shoulders just like Felix in the funny paper. She takes an active part in all fun making, and when it comes to jokes 4'Bibbles is in the front row. She seems to be particularly interested when she hears the name Lester.,' VVe wonder why. Elva takes an interest in her school work, and likes the stenographic work very well. Her disposition alone is sufficient to carry her successfully through life. We wish you great success in the near future. '- i l ESU UEMSEEOO M035 wgtgm Wgsgnssm :Nm Esw 23320 MBEOMH F52 EQ MBNA 2:29 Wcwbgm migwm SEEZE gwmwz A!

Class Tfistory lVith a feeling of regret a.ud of sadness at our parting, we must pause for a inonient and turning back the pages of time, glance over the 3CCO1llpllSi11Il9HtS of our class in the four years in which we were so closely connected With our dear Alma Mater. Our class of Mid '26 has had an eventful career and has weathered many a hard storm within these four beloved walls before it could success- fully enter the port of Graduation. I The winter of 1922 found us a cold band of disorgan- ized, unsuspecting and yet fearful freshmen. Our fears were groundless. Our stirling qualities were soon recog- nized. lVe were practically unmolested and certainly VIDETTE ANNUAL - VST' proud to be freshmen. lVe soon organized under capable leaders. President, Harry lYeissg Vice President, Sam- uel Smith, Treasurer, Harold Hartman and Secretary, Richard Berger. Under the leadership of Mr. Bassler, our faculty advisor, we soon lost our strangeness and entered all the school activities. Our Monday morning programs received the highest praise and our members soon were to be found on most of the teams and in all the societies. In February, 1923, we suddenly found ourselves to be wise and honored Sophomores. llfe immediately elected the following oiiicers: President, Richard Borgerg Vice President, J ack Marshall, T1'easurer, Francis Gavang and Secretary, Robert Foose. This year was one of our most enjoyable years. The freshmen of course were our natural prey and between them and our increased activi- ties we kept ourselves busy and happy. Our colors, so symbolic of our class, true blue and rugged steel were selected. Our pennants, a source of great pride to us were-.rreceived 'and greatly admiredi, This year marked our supremacy in Inter-class athletics. 'We became the school basketball and base ball champions and complete- ly upset all the precedents. lVe had representatives on the tennis team and debating teams. Members of Mid '26 were found among the officers of the societies and they began to be recognized for their scholastic ability. Taken as a whole no class ever entered their junior year with a. more auspicious beginning. lVe had won the respect of both faculty and classmates and we embarked upon our Junior year as dignified and learned upper classmen. Our first action was to elect Henry Huth, President, Harry Vlreiss, Vice Presidentg Jack Marshall, Treasurer and Robert Foose Secretary. lVe immediate- ly entered upon one of our most strenuous years. lVe selected and bought our sweaters and numerals. XYe placed men on the varsity football, basketball, tennis and debating teams. Our greatest triumph came in the latter half of the year. Our Hallowe'en party was a 88 vmnrrrn ANNUAL H huge success. It was the first social function we were permitted to have. Every member of the class still has fond recollections of that great event. Our president was forced to leave us and Harry lVeiss entered upon his arduous tasksl life Hnished out our Junior year in a blaze ot' scholastic, athletic and social glory. lVhen we entered our Senior year we began to realize what responsibilities rested upon us. lVe elected Presi- dent, Richard Borgerg Vice President, Jack Marshallg Treasurer, George Kunzlerg Secretary, Theodore Miller. These ollicers led us successfully through the last and best year of our high school life. Our pins and rings were received in the early part ot' the year and everybody was pleased with them. Our social committee worked hard during the first half of this year and their efforts culminated in the highly successful Reception held on May 15. This was the most successful Reception, both :financially and in attendance, up to this time. Our class assumed control of prctically every society in the school. They all grew and prospered under our regime. The Eleutherian Literary Society, especially, took a new lease on life. High honors came to all branches of our class and we felt proud to have placed ten men on the foot- ball varsity, tive on the varsity basketball team and sev- eral on the varsity soccer and tennis teams. The last half of our year the social. committee again worked hard and our .Soiree is certain to be a success. lVe feel that we can point' with pardonable pride to our achievements and hope that the many activities and ideas that we have instituted and fostered may continue to prosper and that they may be a constant reminder of our beloved Mid ,26. In the years to come may L. H. S. think of us with as kind memories as we have for it and may every class contribute as much as we have to the school. Dear Alma Mater, we bid you a fond farewell. ROBERT L. Foosn VIDETTE ANNUAL 89 Girls' Glass History On a cold Monday in February, 1922, two days after the most severe snow storm of that winter, we, the girls of the class of Mid '26 crossed the threshold of St.evens High School as Freshmen. For a few days we roamed around the spacious cor- ridors trying to lind our classrooms ,but to do the class justice we became acclimated very quickly. Hard work and study were the prevalent cliaracteristics of that year. In the winter of 1923 we became Sophomores. Our inun- bers were somewhat decreased but those of us who re- mained were not discouraged but resumed our studies with vigor. - Two things worthy of note marked this successful year. During the second semester girls were appointed in the dilicerent English classes-girls whom the teachers thought were capable of judging literary merit-to con- tribute to the 'tVidette compositions, poems, etc., pro- duced in class. The second event is the most important, namely: the selection of our class colors and a design for our pen- ants. This was not done without difficulty owing to a diversity of opinion between the male and female 1ne1n- bers of the class. The boys would insist on blue and steel for our colors while the majority of the girls fav- ored brown a11d buff. They also favored block letters for their penants whereas we decided upon Old English let- tering. The male section of the class gained sway on the color proposition and we on the penant design. Very artistic they proved to be and we sincerely believe that the boys have learned to like them as well as we love the Blue and Steel of Mid '26. The winter of 1924 brought to us the classification of Juniors. This was our brilliant sport year for in April we won the interclass basketball championship which meant that we had even defeated the then existing seniors. The squad so worthy of note consisted of: t Forward ................... Dorothy McElwee 90 VIDETTE ANNUAL Forward . ..... Eleanor lVilson Guard . . . . . .Dorothy Stevenson Guard ..... .......

Ruth Eshleman Vice President . . . . .Dorothy Stevenson Secretary ...... ........ H elen Stafford Treasurer ............ 1. .Magdalena Mosenienn - Numerals were selected and purchased together with sweaters in the spring of 1924. On October 17, 1924, our first party was held in the gymnasium of Stevens High School. As a social event it was a. success and we believe the evening was enjoyably spent by all those who attended. February, 1925, that brought the glorious realization that we were Seniorsp 'The following oiiicers were prompt- lys elected to guide u-s 'through -this wo-nclerful year. - President .................... Roma McQuate Vice President . . . . . . . .Beulah Marion ' Secretary ...... . . . ......... Helen Stafford Treasurer ............. Magdalena Mosemann Through the excellent cooperation of the pin and ring committee together with our class advisor, Miss Schaef- fer, and our newly elected and much beloved president, we were able to choose and purchase our rings and pins during the months of April and May. As the standard ring had been accepted in Lancaster High by the meni- bers of the Mid '26 class we were at liberty to act in- dependently with flatteringly successful results due to the willingness and sagacity of the committee. I ain sure we will never forget the cominitteeand the work it did for us. All work and no play doesnit incite one to success so as a medium of recreation the Senior Reception was held in the boy,s gymnasium on May 15, 1925. Success VIDETTE ANNUAL 91 X is the only word which sutiiciently describes the affair. From every corner and angle Mit was a dazzling success. Now we approach the end of our High School cart-er. One hundred percent support of the Vidette was the outstanding feature of this last semester of our career. A great disappointment.accoinpanied the initiation ot this last school term namely: the loss of coveted seats on the platform. I believe 11lOSlZ'Of us had selected our particular chair and imagine the expressions of disap- pointment when it was learned that said places were to be occupied by the glee club. But as a parting thought we do not begrudge them the privilege. The last social event of our brilliant season was the Prom held on lVednesda.y, J anuary 20, 1926. This was followed by the Baccalaureate Service held in Memorial Presbyterian Church, Sunday, January 24, the sermon havingbeen rendered by the Rev. Mr. l-laring. Class Day is being -celebrated this evening, January 26. Connnence- inent will be observed Thursday evening, January 28, 1926. The speakers for the evening are: Helen Stafford I Margaret Villee Magdalena Moseniann ' Alhtough this completes our social history in Stevens High School the history of the girls ofthe class of Mid '26 is not ended, It is really just beginning. YVepare now standing on the threshold of life soon to pass into the wide world where we will gain for ourselves renown and recognition. May the virtues of the class of Mid '26 be inherited bv our posterity. CAROLYN BERRY, H -i stofriaoz afggazut .... w 92 vmnrrn ANNUA1. t e ' .1 f Sports Sports-the word that makes the nerves tingle and the blood dance i11 your veins. It conjures up pictures of ghosts of the gridiron, heroes enduring physical pain for the honor and glory of L. H. S. It embraces familiar faces who have carried the colors of Lancaster to victory on court, field, and gridiron. It invokes memories of games, hard fought, but lost in which our boys played hard, fair and clean. The class of M '26 does not want to boast of its athletes but it does want to give them the honor due their efforts. VVe were always well represneted in sport. Wrhen this green class entered high school in the mid year of 1922, class basketball was already in full swing. The fellows were plucky though and dug right in and as a result, Hen NVeiss, i'Dick Borger and Bob Smith man- aged to make the squad. The team played hard but fin- ished last, which, by the way, is the place usually assigned to freshmen teams. Class baseball came with the spring and Chester Dunlap was elected manager and captain of the team. lVe played hard but could only finish second to the Senior team. Many of the boys went out for foot- ball in the fall but being light and inexperienced we failed to place anyone on the varsity. Thus with the honors won in our plebe year we looked forward with hope to our Sophomore year. 94 vmarrm ANNUAL Before we knew it we were treated to the honor of be- ing Sophomores. Bob Smith was elected manager and captain of the class basketball team and under the coaching influence of Ducky, ' Brunner we won the class league. The fellows on the squad were Berger, Weiss, Garvey, Ergood, Marshall, Hess and Smith. This was the first time a Sophomore team ever finished first in the class basketball league. Baseball came next and Hen Weiss was elected manager and captain of the class team. Under his steady guiding hand he piloted them to first place in the league. Our second triu1npl1! The premier honor was given to Hen 'Weiss when he managed to make the football squad. He was unable to win his let- ter however due to the wealth of material on hand. Many of the fellows landed berths on the scrub team, however. As third year men we finished third in class basketball. George Kunzler was the manager. lVe also placed men on the varsity football, basketball and tennis teams in the persons of lVeiss, Borger, Ergood and Smith. All won their letters. NVe finished second in the class base- ball loop, the Freslnnan team winning first place. N ow as we entered our last year as students in L. H. S. the class was highly esteemed throughout the school and city for its athletes. Bob Smith was accorded the honor of captaining the varsity tennis and soccer teams. The tennis team was defeated but twice in three years, while the soccer team lost all but one game. The fol- lowing fellows were accorded the coveted HL' ' in soccer: Brady, Gavan, Hertzler, Metzger, Smith and Hershey. We placed ten men on the varsity football team and all of them won their letter. They are: Borger, Cogley, Er- good, Huth, Jordan, Kunzler, Marshall, Stettler, Tweed and VVeiss. As basketball again gained the interest our boys were again the mainstays of the varsity team. Vile placed Vtfeiss, Borger, Marshall, Kunzler and Smith on the varsity. 1 4 ...J 96 VIDETTE ANNUAL Several of the fellows have also won fame and titles outside of school. Bob Hoar, while not winning his letter in school, is noted as one of the best speed swim- mers of his age in the State. He has defeated the best in his class. Samuel Smith gained much credit when he won the junior golf title at the Media. Heights Golt' Club this summer, Bob Smith specializes in tennis and during his high, school career he won munerous titles in that sport, chief among these was the Boys Champion- ship of Pennsylvania won. at Bala-Cynwyd in 1923. It is the sincere wish of the members of theeclass of M '26 tha ttlie high standards of sportsmanship alld clean play whiclrwe found here at L. H. S. and faithfully tried to carry on and improve, will be treated in a similar man- ner by those who follow.

H. S., but just to give you an idea of our activity in the athletic line, a few things might be pointed out and remembered. In our first year as Freshmen, little or nothing was accomplished since we were too green and athletics were not open to us. But we caught the spirit of the thing and carried it on through our four years stay at S. H. S. Anxiously we waited the approach of our second year when we could feature in athletics and we were not slow in beginning either. p Hockey was introduced in the fall and many of our girls went out for it. Our class Was also honored in that Ruth Eshehnan was given a berth on the varsity ten- nis team. Our basket ball team, although still in the background, managed to secure third place in the inter- class' series. ,AfSoon.We-were pl.ungedQintQ,.oiirpthiifd, year at school and determined to bring home the bacon in some line of sport or other. lVe succeeded by means of our snappy basket ball team. It consisted of Alice' Myers quite a flashy center, quick in floor work although diminu- Fislier, side center, quick in floor work although diminu- tive in size. Dot Stevenson and Ethel Swain, our guards, were hard to combat with while Eleanor lVilson and Dot McElwee acted as goal tossers for the team. . We felt highly honored in attaining the basketball title for the class series since we were the first team to de- feat classmen higher in rank than ourselves, and there- fore established a precedent. Many of our girls were out for the varsity basketball team but Dorothy Steven- son was the only one successful in capturing a berth. v Alljtoo soon wefound ourselves engaged in our last year at S. H. S. Diiring thisteiiin EtHel1'Swain, Mary Fisher and Dot McElwee were included on the varsity If VIDET TE ANNUAL basket ball team. A hockey squad was picked among which Ethel Swain, Dot Stevenson, Mary Hipple, Ruth Keller, Eleanor YVilson, and Dot McElwee numbered. Our class received acldedihonor when Ethel Swain Won the much sought after-ten1iisi 'title.' '- 9tir12basket'ball team being badly broken up by the loss of three good players ,could no longer hold the lead and fell in second in the basket ball series this year. This was no fault of ours and due to the loyal support of the new players on our team, consisting of Ava Huber, Mary Hipple, Helen Moore, and Grace'Graybill we were able to hold down sec- ond place, after which the '25 class was a close contestant.
