ffwd H E LEXIAN A BOOK OF MEMORIES O Golden Jubilee Class of 1890 Q Published by The Journalism Class LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL LEXINGTON, OHIO 1940 Price Sixty C ents QJXIAN '40 a Foreword HIS is the third of the yearbooks which the Journalism Class of Tthe Lexington High school has sponsored. They look forward to the publication with much anticipation since it represents their own work and will last for what they hope will be quite a long period of time. They feel that it is a worthwhile enterprise and one that enables both pupils and patrons to take a greater pride in the local school. Together with the school paper, The Minute Man, they represent our contact with the public which supports the school. In keeping with the other activities it is not thought wise to make the yearbook a too elaborate production which many would be unable to buy. The class has striven to make the best possible book with the resources which they are able to muster and they offer the book this year with no apologies. It is within the reach of everyone Who has a desire strong enough to cause him to exert a little energy in order to possess a copy.

I am sitting in my favorite chair in front of an open fire. My thoughts begin to wander back to the good old days, as they often do, to the days when I was in school and among old friends. In order to aid my memory I get up and go over to my library and get out the book which is very dear to me, THE LEXIAN. It is the only one on which I can rely to bring back fully the things which I wish to recall. I turn first to the pages on which I find the pictures of the class of '40, Yes, it seems good to look at their likenesses again. Just as I was getting buried deeply in my recollections, there is a knock at the door. I went to the door only to find a man who had for several days pestered me to let him tell my fortune. Since I was not busy, I asked him to come inside. After talking awhile I decided he knew a few things and so I inquired whether he could tell me about my old classmates and what they were doing at present. Of course I can, he answered politely, and this is the story as he told it to me. I think the best way for you to gain the information which you seek is for you to see it with your own eyes. So come along with me and I will show you all. The first thing we did was to go back to Lexington and visit the school. As we went inside we found things much the same. Much to my surprise I found Harold Robinson teaching the Latin class. At night we decided to take in the basketball game as the team had been very successful so far this season. I soon learned the reason for its success, for when I spied the coach I recognized Bill Shaffer. The next morning we left for Cleveland, arriving in the city about noon where we stopped at the Eat and Bust restaurant owned and operated by the old classmate Paul Eckert. Shortly after we were seated a very charming young lady came to take our order. We recognized her too as the Betty Heston who was in my class. She is head waitress and very enthusiastic about her job. That afternoon as we were walking along the streets my com- panion said, Do you recognize the fellow in a po1iceman's uniform? Of course I did, another schoolmate, Bill Parrott. He had added a lot of weight, but other ways he resembled his more youthful appearance. Twenty-Four LEXIAN '40 That night as we were on our way to the hotel, we were attracted to an extremely large car stopping at the curb. A very dignified couple got out of the car, Mr. and Mrs. Emery Armstrong, the latter being the former Iva Baker. He is now a scientist connected with one of the large factories in Cleveland. After a short talk with them we went into the hotel. We dropped into the dining room where the orchestra was playing. Armstrong nudged me and asked if I recognized the leader. To my surprise and delight I found it to be Stub Farst's orchestra playing. They had been here for a very long engagement. The next day as we journeyed south we noticed a large airport. As we came nearer We discovered it was an army air base. We took some time to go in and inspect the place. As we neared the office we found the name on the door to be a rather familiar one, Robert Dickson. We entered and engaged him in conversation. He seemed delighted with his work and had been there long enough to be considered a. fixture. As we drove on South we passed a very large farm which we learned to be a partnership affair owned jointly by Daniel Fhurer and Dale Windbigler. We learned also that it had been a very successful venture from a financial standpoint. We came next to a large city. While driving through the center of the place we found a large crowd in front of a building. Being as curious as the rest we decided to investigate. We soon found that the attraction was an ice-skating team which although they used stage names turned out to be Harold Myers and Geraldine Swigart. As the afternoon drew to a close, we took a stroll down the business section. We had been so busy we did not take time out for lunch. Not being acquainted I strolled over and asked a well-dressed young man, who appeared to be waiting for a bus, if he could direct us to a good place to eat. When he turned to answer I almost fell over. There was William Strome staring right at me. We shook hands and in a jolly tone of voice he said, Why of course I do. He invited us to his home just inside the city limits. While dining with Twenty-five LEXIAN '40 him he told us of his trip during vacation last summer. He had gone into the deep south. While there he reported that he and his friends purchased all their meat from Robert Creps. He had purchased his market from an elderly gentleman who was ready to retire. Leaving him we continued our journey. As we drove along listening to the radio, we heard a play being broadcasted in which Marjorie Ann Hawkins was taking the leading role. She had obtained leave from Hollywood to make this special broadcast. When driving along in the splendid sunshine of the south, we saw a large column of smoke in the road ahead of us. Hurrying to the scene we found there had been a serious accident. Two men were badly injured. We took them in our car and rushed to the nearest hospital. As we drove into the lot we saw two doctors and a nurse rush out to meet us. One of the doctors was Kenneth Campbell. We stayed around to learn how badly the men were hurt. After the emergency had passed we learned from Kenneth that Margaretan Murray was now a trained nurse and had been at the hospital for quite a long time. We learned through them that LaDonna Mc- Elain is a doctor in South Africa. We traveled westward next to Iowa where we found Lewis Ryan working on a cattle ranch. This was the life he had always longed for and he now confessed that he was as happy as he could be. He did not want to change occupations with any one in the world. We passed up a lot of sights because we were interested most in classmates so we hurried back to Columbus, Ohio, where we happened upon Ruth Barr near the University at the noon hour. She is now teaching at Ohio State and is very happy in her chosen profession. She informed us that Jane Baker had married a very wealthy man who was in the oil industry. They had corresponded since graduation time. We went from Columbus directly to New York. Here we found Gerald Bachelder owned a large newspaper. We went to his office to have a talk with him. He was married to a girl he had met after he went to New York. He informed us that Lucille Humphrey was Twenty-six -I LEXIAN '40 editor of another of the large newspapers in that city. He also passed along to us the information that Martha Griebling is a secretary in the Ford factory in Detroit. He stated that he wrote to her occasionally for news about the Ford Company that he could use in his paper. From New York we journeyed to New Haven, Connecticut, where we found Grace Kennedy married to one of the Professors at Yale University. Continuing on across the state to Niagara Falls, we decided to cross to Canada. We found Cecil Smith the chief inter- rogator of prospective visitors to Canada. He told us of many interesting questions and answers he had heard since being on the job. On our way back through Buffalo we became lost. While at a police station making an inquiry we noticed a young lady leave the office who recognized us. She was Blanche Yeager, who had been a secretary to a police judge for a number of years. On our way back to Cleveland we heard an airplane droning above us. Since the port was close we drove over to see it land. When the steps were rolled up to the door, the stewardess, Opal Fox, stepped from the plane. A little later we got a chance to talk with her. She told us she had traveled all over the world by plane. She informed us that Mildred Rinehart was married to a French engineer and was living in Paris. She also told us that Helen Schmidt was in Africa teaching the negroes .how to read, write and spell. Opal told us that she only got home about once every five years. Was there anything else that you wished to know, Sir? asked the fortune teller. I just sat there in my chair as I was unable to speak a word. After a while it came to me just what was happening. He laughed loudly for some time and then said, I guess I shouldn't have told you the whole story in one evening, but you seemed so interested that I couldn't stop telling the story. Before this I had never taken any stock in fortune tellers. But from the story he just told me I was thoroughly convinced that he had something there. As he refused to take anything in the way of pay, I will pass the story on to you free of sharge.
