It is hard to conceive of doing without her. She comes in contact with every one. You may not even know other teachers under whom you have no classes, but Miss Knapple is the personal adviser of all. She knows every student and seems to understand exactly the environment and home conditions that prevail. How she is able to help everyone out of difficulties, guide pupils into proper channels, and at the same time be the force which keeps the school life going smoothly is a mystery. Executive, teacher, personal adviser-she ex- cels in all. Page Seven Mr. C. E. Collett SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Nebraska Wesleyang C 0 lu rn b ia Unig Uni. of Nebraska. We have at the head of this great Educa- tional Institution a man who is very capable, a man worthy of the responsibility he assumes, Superintendent Collett. Since Mr. Collect came to us in 1922, the enrollment. the number of faculty members. the number of departments and organizations have increased remarkably. lnlowever, our superintendent has many more admirable qualities. He strives not only for material progressiveness but also for the main- tenance of the highest ideals. His excellent ex- ample of character, service, and strength of per- sonality is ever before us. His keen interest in the advancement of good for all is felt not only by the school but bv the whole community. E L 1.1 Gjbinute Span 1- 3 Miss RUTH limos Genoa Music. Kearney State Teachers College.

Miss Helen Krejci, last year spon- sored the class of 1931, and was this year chosen to sponsor the class of 1932. She has contributed her will- ing service to the class and its ac- tivities. Her planning for the Hal- lowe'en party made it one of the best parties of the year and one which the Sophomores will always remem- ber. We won't embarrass Mr. Harrell totherwise the eoachj by saying he is a gentle, kind, and loving sponsor, but we will say that he is a jolly good sport and game for everything, pro- vided that it is the right sort. He has been our sponsor for the last two years, and we want him to know that we fully appreciate his help at our first semester party, and other Sopho- more activities.

We have appreciated their lo y al friendship throughout the year and the manner in which they have en- couraged us. Miss Hanson's super- vision of the Christmas drill was greatly appreciated. She also is to he credited with devising a scheme of decreasing tardiness ir1 the assembly hy staging a contest which proved to he lots of fun as well as effective. We hope to he fortunate enough to keep Miss Hanson and Miss Mastin as our sponsors throughout all our high school career. - Page Twenty-nine WAI,DEN JOHANSEN President BERNARD SMITH Vice President IONABELLE SHULENBERCER Treasurer NIALCOM SMITH Secretary Baci: R016--Lonna Fisher, Ruhy Franee, Ervan Fandry, Gladys Hofferlner, Ruth Lantz, Julia Mae Magnusen.

Flower-Red Carnation, Motto- 'We' Did Itf' Colors-Rea' and While. We Freshmen alone for our short his- tory by our 'flongn enrollment. We num- ber one hundred sixteen, the largest class Lexington High School ever admit- ted. We,re a jolly, peppy gang, we laugh at anything ia few things we shouldnt! g but we work just as hard as we play. Of course we have a few faults but when we become Mdigniliedw Seniors and conceited Juniors, we may be for- given. We should at least like to lose the name 'sThe Thundering Herd, and others of which we may not know. Oh, weill learn, but what would high school be without a class of '6Greenies?,' Just lost-thatis all. ln girls, athletics we had the usual Freshie luck and lost the girls' basket- ball tournament. Our girls played a good game and fought to the finish, but the opponents were too much. Next year, with experience we firmly believe we'll have a better chance to bestow the 4'Champ,, title upon ourselves, then we'll show the present Sophomores what a big difference one little year will make. Several of the Freshman boys went out for football. Gerald Kreitz and Glenn Dunlap made the Mfleservesf' Not so bad. Then too we must mention Ed- die George, chosen as one of the cheer leaders ot' L. H. S. He surely does have the pep. The Freshmen uperformedn at Christ- mas time by giving an assembly pro- gram. Those in the star drill were: Ruth Stedman, Alice Mary Shockley, 1930 Margaret Sheldon, Lonna Fischer, Ailene Chadwick, Leona Teets, and Ma- ble Roth. The reading given by Wade McCaulley was a uknockoutf' that,s what. Then we had a party too with Santa Claus and a present for everybody. We played games in the 'Cold gym, which was all decorated Christmasy', and af- terwards had a wonderful feed in the Home Economics room. There were lighted candles on each of the tables, and very real-looking Santas made from apples. After the lunch everybody went home happy.

The first mathematics club of L. H. S. was organized last year with thirty-five members under the sponsorship of Miss Farrar. The purpose of this mathematics club is many fold, tlj to promote inter- est in the study of mathematics, Q25 to give pupils glimpses of the future which serve as incentives to continue the study, 431 to afford opportunity for discussing the many interesting features of the various mathematical subjects, MQ to develop an appreciation for the truth and beauty in mathematics and our de- pendence upon it in practical life. The main feature of the club is the regular meeting which is held at the noon hour, on the second Wednesday of each month. A luncheon is served which occupies from 10 to 15 minutes, leaving time for a 20-minute business meeting and about a half hour for the program. These programs have covered quite a wide range of topics, most of which fall into one of three groups, the history of mathematics, mathematics in industry and art, and occasional plays or Inathe- matical contests. The plans for the future of the club cover a scope wide enough to allow for the future maximum expansion of all thought or ideas elaborated by the mathematically inclined student. El Club Espanol. El Club Espanol or the Spanish Club has just been organized during the last semester of the school year, l929-30. The purpose of the club is to increase interest in Spanish life, language, cus- toms, traditions and history, to improve facility in speaking Spanish, and to put to practical use in a Spanish atmosphere the Spanish learned in the classroom. Membership is limited to those hav- ing a high average. The officers are as follows: President, Alice May Jacob- son, Vice President, Leona Fowler, Sec'y-Treas., Athalee Orthman. 1930 Page Thirty-four minute man Back Row-Lola Decker, Audrey Chadwick, Leora Fowler, Virginia Tucker, Berdena Decker, Glenrose Anderson, Elaine Flynn.

The club was organized early this year under the supervision of Mrs. Jacobs. The membership consisted of about fifteen at the first meeting but has stead- ily increased until it is now thirty-hve. The members all show an enthusiastic interest, each one takes an active part at each meeting. At the meetings, parts are assigned to various members and the drama is read and discussed. HAS You Like lt and g'The Taming of the Shrewfi by Shakespeare, were the first dramas read. The club plans to read several modern dramas in the fu- ture. Through the Drama Club the students will become better acquainted with the Worth while dramas. The officers for the year were: Presi- dent, Melba Smith, Secretary-Treasurer, Audrey Chadwick. S. P. Q. R. The S. P. R. or what is familiarly known as the Latin Club is one of the youngest organizations in Lexington High School. To stimulate a genuine interest in Latin and create a deeper appreeiation for the classical is the purpose of the club. ln keeping with its aim programs are designed to bring out the most in- teresting phases of Roman life. They have included such subjects as Roman games and amusements, burial customs, and weddings. The club plans to spon- sor a motion picture as part of its work for the year. There are approximately thirty-five members, second and third year students with the exception of several high aver- age Freshman students. The officers are: President, Doris llattingg Vice-President, Clara Kuhl- mang Secretary, George Widneyg 'l1'S3S- urer, Clariee Wliite. 1930 Page Thirty-Five Back Row-Reed Nlilroy, Norman Jelfrey, Paul Parkhurst, Dean Spear, Harry Temple, Harry Swanson, Presi- dent, Lawrence Weides.

The department of music last fall be- gan under the supervision of Miss Mil- dred Krunnn. After two months of very ellicient work she was called home. Miss Ruth Hinds. her successor, has carried on the work of the music department very proficiently. Both glee clubs have a large enrollment, the boys club num- bering thirty members and the girls eighty. The operetta, The Belle of Barce- lonafl was staged in April. Here the vocal talents of those interested in music were displayed beautifully. ORCHESTRA. The Lexington High School orchestra is under the direction of Miss Ruth Hinds. Miss Hinds has worked very and is to be commended for her good work. This organization furnishes enter- tainment for nearly all high school pro- grams which are featured in the audi- torium. Btwn. Bands, which have recently been es- tablished in many high schools, are proving themselves such valuable as- sets to school life and activities that they are becoming an essential part of every curriculum. By the untiring efforts of the director, Judge M. O. Bates, and by the interest and enthusiasm of the members them- selves, the membership has increased rapidly. The L. H. S. Band has done much to maintain the MMinute Mann spirit with its snappy selections at football and hard to make the orchestra a success, basketball games.

The Normal Training Department. The Yormal Training department of Lexington was organized in 1908. At that time the course consisted of brief reviews of elementary subjects, and a few hours of practice teaching, but un- der the direction of the state depart- ment it has become much more highly specialized. Both the Reviews and the Professional Training course are outlined very thor- oughly xx ith suggestions for apportion- ment of time. Literally hundreds of reference books, written by prominent authors in the field of education, are the texts for the students in this course. As the requirements are very rigid in tl1is department, only the best stu- 1930 dents are encouraged to enroll as pros- pective teachers. Although this course is difficult, it has some very pleasant features, for all normal trainers enjoy a freedom in rou- tine, and a great variety of types of as- signments. Observations in the coun- try, frequent trips to the Wards, labora- tory work in correcting papers, class projects lin which the normal training class is converted into a first grade reading classi, all help to vary the monotony, or add a touch of the un- usual. Miss Lillian Hanson, instructor, is to be hifrhlv com limented uion her suc- zr . P l cessful teaching.

Commercial Department. The Commercial Department has been under the supervision of Miss Soker, during the past year. She is a very capable and eflicient instructor and is well liked by all. The Commercial Department was first organized in the year l9l0, the same year in which the older section of the building was completed. Like most other things, it too, had a very humble beginning, however, its advancement has been steady and there has been marked improvement each year. ln- Page Forty-one 1930 struction is now given in three branches of business training, shorthand, book- keeping and typing. ln the typing sec- tion eighteen machines are available at the present tiime. That the students judge the Commer- cial Department ollers material which will be of value to them is made evident by the fact that there are one hundred fifteen enrolled. Every student who has applied himself to the course with any degree of studiousness feels duly re- warded for his efforts.

Home Economics. The cooking and s ew i n g courses which formed part of a girl's common school education a quarter of a century ago have been replaced by what is known as Home Economics, which in- cludes such subjects as foods and nu- trition, clothing and textiles, child care, home nursing, and home management. There are forty-five girls enrolled in this department. Girls having a certain scholastic standard are eligible to membership in the Home Economics Club. We have as our aims: To develop professional spirit and co-operation without the cor- rective inliuence of school discipline and adult supervision, to establish exper- ience in parliamentary procedure so as to be able to work effectively and har- moniously in community groups, and to establish closer relationship between home economics courses at school and the home life of the girls. The cluh meets on the second Tues- day of each month. Following the business transactions a short program is given and refreshments are served. The officers of the club are: President, Ruth Pledgerg Vice-President, Edith Margritzg Secretary, Pauline Delahuntyg Treasurer, Edna Passageg Reporter, Melba Smith. 1930 Page Forty-two f ' Chester Anthony, Joe Blackman, Ralph Brand, Wayne Cook, Jim Corl, Cyril Delahunty, Paul Diefenbach, Glen Dunlap, Paul Ewen, Harold Fagot, Prosper Fagot, Vincent Fagot, Elmer Lawrence Furry, Stuart Green- lee, Marion Gulden, Charles Hall, Evan Hanna, Marion Hubbard, Ralph Klein, Harold Kloepping, Kiichi Kanda, Norman Knudson, Gayle Lee, Glen Lee, Clarence Leffelbein.

Manual Arts Department. The manual training work Carried out in this department develops mind and hand and teaches them to work together. The Course that is followed allows the boys to take up a variety of projects and encourages them to become handy men. Our motto is: 'learn by doing things well, Cain by doing things useful. The departmcnthas been in opera- tion tor three years. Most of the work has been done by hand. One turning lathe has been installed this year. The boys make various pieces of fur- niture such as cedar chests, writing desks, end tables, foot stools, waste paper baskets, and medicine cabinets. Part of the advanced class work on automobiles and engines. The boys also repair many things which they bring from home, and are encouraged to do repair work wherever there may be need. The Manual Arts Club was organized this year to bring together the boys who are interested in manual training. The purpose of the club is to establish a bond of friendship among the boys tak- ing lhe same kind of work, to offer an opportunity for the boys in the depart- ment to show the people of the com- munity their abilities, and to aid in utilizing the results of school work in the home, on the farm, and in business. 1930 Page Forty-three Dean Spear Arthur Kopf Walden Johansen Declamatory.

Margaret Slzelrlon The Annual Staff hopes to put some of the spirit of L. H. S. into this book, and unless We do, and unless you catch that spirit we shall not consider it a success. Only those who have worked on the annual know of the many hard tasks and the disappointments that must be overcome. We hope that as you take your course through life you will be able to look back on this hook, and be inspired to higher ideals and will al- ways hold it with your cherished meni- ories of twenty-nine and thirty. ln i925 the Senior Memory book was 1930 Page Forty-Five published and called uwlhoose Wl1o. ln l926 the students of Lexington School voted to call their annual the Minute Man. At that time they estab- lished this symbol for the school. From then until l929 the annual was bound in a paper cover and in 1929-1930 it was hound in a stiff leather cover.

Letter Men. Coach Harrell presented nineteen let- ters to the 1929 football men as a re- ward for their hard work and honest efforts on the gridiron. We first mention CAPTAIN CLEVE MIL- ROY who played his fourth year for L. H. S. in a style that won him state- wide recognition. Cleve was a very clever halfback and one of the headiest players ever to don the Orange and Black. C0-CAPTAIN PAUL PARKHURST, an- other four-year letter man did justice to his tackle position, as only Parkie can do, CAPTAIN-ELECT ARTHUR KOPF came in with his share of the lengthy gains and scoring runs. We take pleasure in wishing Kopf and his team success next fall. 1930 Page Fifty-one RAY STANTON played his first year of football at end and guard and he will certainly be a ugoerw next year. KENNETH WEAVER was a hard end to stop. His consistent playing won him a regular position on the team. LEO SHAW held down the other end in a real fashion and did the punting that so many times kept the ball out of the Minute lVlen's territory. NORMAN NIEYERS played tackle and was a constant menace to the opponents. MBig Boy will he at his best next year. HARRY SWANSON alternated at guard and tackle and surely smeared things when they came his way. 'PAUL BAYLES won his letter by his continual efforts and conscientious play- ing at guard position.

FRED GEORGE alternated at quarter- back and halfback and will be among the first ones to be on deck next season. OMAHA TECH. Omaha had one of the most powerful elevens in several seasons, and defeated the Minute Men 24-0.

XfERNoN NELSON, during the first of the season, could not go out for foot- ball on account of injuries, but later was a threat at tackle and is expected to show up well next year. JAMES CORL was a consistent and out- standing player at center and was al- ways fighting. CozAD. The Minute Men got off to a bad start by losing to the Cozad Haymakers, by a score of 12-0.

The Squad. CURTIS Accies. We were very unfortunate in losing to the Curtis Aggies by a score of 14-0. The Minute Men more than doubly out- yarded the Aggies. Four times we car- ried the hall to within the five yard line but were unable to put it across. MCCOOK. The next game, however, seemed to cater towards the Minute Men instead of the opposing team, as did all the games the remainder of the season. Milroy got loose in the third quarter to make the first touchdown of the game, and he and Young contributed three more dur- ing the last period. FREMONT. Fremont invaded Lexington territory apparently with the idea of showing the Minute Men a few of the rudiments, but their minds were quickly changed, and they turned home with a 36-0 defeat. Captain Milroy twice sprinted more than half the length of the field for touchdowns in this game. HOLDREGE. The annual Armistice Day tussle be- tween Holdrege and Lexington proved to he in favor of the Minute Men, and they took a big 13-0 score away from the Holdrege lads, though they had to put up a fight. NORTH PLATTE. North Platte was in high hopes of revenging their two previous defeats. But their hopes were in vain, as the Minute Men's line of victories was not to he broken, and they handed North Platte the small end of a 13-0 score. GOTHENBURG. The Thanksgiving day classic be- tween Gothenburg and Lexington was as usual given the rating of a toss-up, and the winner before was unproclaimed. The Minute Men, however, went over the top again, 6-0. The Gothen- burg team hasn't beaten the Minute Men in the last three years. 1930 Page Fifty-three 1 L1Nco1.1-1 was l Si ll'l'U'fl to C1111- 1 t11i11 the hlinule 1 l929-30 season.

Berquist, a letterman from the Uni- versity of Nebraska. This is the second year that we have had the honor of receiving one of these Plaques, and we hope to be in line to win one for the year l929-1930. The athletes receiving higher grades than the average of the school were Vernon Barrett, Dean Spear, Paul Park- hurst, William Mcllflillan and Arthur Kopf. They received NN pins in recog- nition of their scholastic attainments. Salesmanship Plus. The Annual Campaign started off with a whizz. Orange and Black tags were seen waving everywhere. A tag represented a down payment on the Minute Man. Crowds were seen throng- ing the passage way to the MAnnual Of- ficew above the superintendentis office- pushing and pulling to get first chance at the Annual. Lawrence Weides talked faster and harder than ever before, but one could sense victory for Eddie George and Walden Johansen, as he observed them tackling everyone in corridors and home rooms. Their faith in the old slogan, bln numbers there is strength,'i was justified, for when the final vote was taken Eddie and Wfaldon came out on top and won the prize, a lovely 1930 An- 11ual.

Our girls basketball team went to the finals with the Sophomores. Although defeated. each girl did her utmost for her class. The president of the Girls' Athletic Association was a Junior.

The Class of 'Ill chose the play Skid- dingv to represent their dramatic ability in their Junior year. It centers around the everyday life of an American family. Marion Hardy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hardy, comes home, bring- ing with her her hance, Wayne Trenton lll. Arriving home, she finds matters in a state of confusion. Her father, who has been judge for twenty years. is having trouble in being nominated. Myra and Estelle. the two married sis- ters. have become dissatisfied with their matrimonial life and have come back home to their mother. Marion, against the wishes of her Hance, gives a speech to help her fath- er's cause. Mr. Stuhbins, who is a friend of Judge Hardy, induces Marion to run for the legislature. She succeeds in get- ting the nomination and Wlayne. hearing of it. breaks their engagement.

The Sophcmore boys, basketball team was represented by Ray Stanton, cap- tain, Earl Knapple, George Widney, Cyril Delahaunty, Donald Brown, and Jack Ilayes. The Sophomore class has one letter man, Ray Stanton, on the varsity team. On October 30, l920, the Sophomores had a Halloweien Masquerade party. The Sophomore class is well repre- sented in the various school activities. Home Economics Club has Ruth l'ledger for president, Pauline Dela- haunty, secretary, Edna Passage, treas- urer. In the Latin Club, Clarice White is treasurer: Clara Kuhlman, vice presi- dent, and George Wridney, secretary. The Sophomore Class is also very well represented in band and orchestra. The Senior girls and the Junior girls expected to play the basketball finals together. In fact it was a settled matter in the minds of most of the students that either the Juniors or the Seniors would win the finals. In the tournaments the Freshmen played the Sophomores and the Juniors played the Seniors. The Sophomores defeated the Freshmen and the Juniors beat the Seniors. In the finals the unexpected happened. The Sophornores won from the Juniors, much to the Juniors, dismay. YVHAT WOULD You Do? XVhy do you look so troubled, John- nie?

When I was running away from Dean, I tried to hide in a queer looking build- ing. but I bumped square into the portly Parkie, who is, it appears, president, founder and owner of the Wide Awake Nursery. He was having a conference with Clarence Jacobson who is the well known author of HSuccessful Raising of Ghildrenf' They called their favorite gangster, originally from Chicago but now from Gothenburg, and had him chase me out. Imagine my hurt when I saw that it was none other than Evan Hanna, a one time classmate. Look! coming down the street. What a queer procession! It looks like a fu- neral, and yes! There's Norman Jef- frey. Did you know that he is a famous undertaker? He is well loved by be- reaved people. His unfailing sympathy and punctuality have won him a warm spot in all hearts. He descended sadly from the hearse when I beckoned and with tears streaming down his face he answered my unspoken question. '4Yes,', he said, manfully struggling to control his sobs, Hltis Margaret York. She was told by a manager of opera that her voice was astounding but that she was much too fat for the part. She tried vainly to reduce and finally died heart- brokenf' I continued on my way sadly. Sud- denly I was confronted by the sign, MBest in the World. See ,Iim Corl's Flying Gircusf' I decided I needed cheering so I entered. One trapeze per- former was especially good and looked 1930 familiar. By jove if it wasnit Virginia Tucker. She stopped for a few minutes chat and informed me that Julia Geiger was a tight-rope walker in the same circus. As I came out I was struck by the per- formance of some daring stunt flyer. When the plane descended I saw that it was that most daring aviatrix, Glen- rose Anderson, conquerer of oceans and hearts. She was in very much of a hurry however, as she wished to get to Darr to vote before the polls closed. It was the day of the election of mayor and the two candidates were Glen Lam- mers and Paul Bayles. I accompanied her to the station where she boarded Florence Grafton7s private liner to Darr. As I went cheerily down the street, whom should I meet but that good old pal, Virgil Waller. Virgil is a million- aire now. He made his fortune roar- ing for the lion in Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer pictures. Virgil told me that Lucille Goedert was editing a newspaper called MA Titan Broadcasts, and per- haps she could tell me some interesting news. Lucille said that Lenora War- ren and Rosalie Hughbanks are running a very successful matrimonial bureau in Shulenberger City, Texas. The famous Ellen, for amusement. built a city and the grateful natives call it by her name. Lucille said that Kenneth Weaver has become a famous detective and makes his home in North Platte. I decided instantly that I should call upon him as I was becoming very much interested in the fate of the Class of 1930. I found Kenneth in his office, a very nervous man who is forever re- ceiving or sending telegrams. He said, I havenit much time but perhaps you will be interested in several cases of a mysterious disappearance of the parties concerned. First, Zoe Malone and Doris Hatting set sail for the Cannibal Isles to teach the natives better manners. They have completely disappeared. It is the fear of friends that they met an untimely end while conducting one of Page Seventy -- minute Span their classes. Then there is the case of Cleve Milroy, our former football hero and idol, who with several friends sailed for South America in 1930. Every trace of him is lost and it is rumored that some dusky maiden persuaded him that South America would make a good home. Oh, yes! I almost forgot to tell you that coming to North Platte on the train, I met Leo Shaw who is a con- ductor on the local. He makes his home in North Platte and is the famous author of HA Railroad Conductoris Love Affairsf' While lingering in North Platte I met another author of note. Elmer Fied- ler, who acknowledged shyly that he wrote Why Tall Men are Interesting. I decided to take a short trip around the world to locate old friends. Travel- ing across continent I finally made a stop at Hollywood. Here I met Flor- ence Vetter, who is the most outstand- ing dramatic actress of all times. Her favorite selection is L'YVhere is n1y Wan- dering Don Tonight and she puts great beauty and pathos into the simple words. At the coast I remained for a day after which I boarded a steamer. While on the ship I approached the salon and who should be the Stewardess but the charming Evelyn Betzer. She remarked that she had always had a longing for sea life and loved her work. For days we sailed upon the ocean calm. Our first stop was Hawaii. I met Evan Millington who is teaching the natives to make shoe polish from salt water! Under the spell of the quaint surround- ings, I stood on the curb watching the thoroughfare. Who should hail me but Gerald Caster-foreman of the street cleaners of Honulula. Says he fell for a hula-hula maiden and hasn't been back since. We didnit tarry long but headed for Japan. At Tokio, going thru the palace, we chanced to get a glimpse of his majesty Kiichi Kanda in glowing robes of glory. I bowed my- self in as did the others, and old friend Kiichi gave me a royal welcome. Siam 1930 Page Seventy-one -the next stop. On a curio shopping tour I ventured into an exclusive ladies style shoppe. Who should greet me but Chalmers Naviaux. Said he was having a formal spring opening. Asked me if I remembered Harold Lewis, said Harold was wooing an Indian maiden of the higher cast. I found Francis Shields and Velda Barrett running an antique shop in Bulgaria. We sailed on-hardly stopping at many points but found Susie Phillips in Africa man- aging an orphan's home for homeless monkeys. She informed me that Ly- man Stuckey is doing untiring mission- ary work. I found, too, that Peter Seberger has been called the most elo- quent criminal lawyer in the entire Sa- hara desert. In Spain, I discovered Nettie Ross, who is engaged in teaching the Spaniards the Russian language. Edna Courter makes her home in Vien- na where she has done some very bril- liant surgical work. tYou will remem- ber she was always handy with the knife-Qqarving initials on all the desks. Chester Banks rules as the Sultan of Turkey. In the Latin quarter of Paris, I found Bill McMillan, who is a strug- gling, starving artist there. Blanche Pickett has a peacock farm in Wales. Our former artist, the dark-eyed Vesta Haworth is at present Queen of Sweden with Gerald Smith her most trusted and wise advisor. Together they rule in such a way that their subjects are well con- tented. Muarice Young has made a life work of teaching the Laplanders foot- ball. Back to America! Good old New York City! First thing I ran into Harry Swanson, who has made a dazzling suc- cess in Wall Street. Watch for his name in the Yvhois Who with the Van- derbilts and Carnegies. Carolyn Cummins is the pianist in George Walton's Cabaret, where Vera Young is the star dancer and Roberta Blair the popular singer-just off Broadway. In Wiashington, D. C., lives the es- teemed Donald Kinch, who has often been called. f'The Patrick Henry of Vtforld Peacefi Mildred Sieg lives in Chicago and has a famous collection of rare and valu- able jewels. She is never seen without her Hpersonal guard,'7 Johnnie Kaighin, donned in armor as the knights of old. ln lazy Florida we find Alice Hat- tingf--HThe girl with the Greta Garbo Eyes, who strolls the beaches with her pet poodle. Who else should l en- counter but Johnie Kaighin, teaching the beautiful maidens to swim. He claims to have at least a dozen beautiful sea maidens ready to swim the English or any other channel. He also told me about Alfreda Roachg says she has her place in a school for the mentally un- balanced. You remember she was at- tacked and unmercifully stung by the wasps in the nest during the production of the senior play. Somehow she has maintained that she herself is a wasp. Too bad. Marion Gulden, bless his soul, has achieved the success of the great Hen- derson in the radio world. He is tak- ing a definite stand against the 19th amendment and strange as it may seem, has thousands upon thousands of list- eners, St. Louis claims ivayne Lincoln-the Rudy Valee of the stage. It is rumored that he has received more proposals of marriage than any other star on earth. Dritt Taylor is at present Sup't of schools in Kansas City. His book 4'Ef- ficiency in Administration is called a masterpiece by his former teachers. Mike Delahuntyis faithful studious- ness has at last been rewarded. He was last month made Chancellor of the University of Nebraska. Omaha is the home of Norman Schmitt, the man who made television practical for husbands and wives. Clarence Leffelbein is one of Nebras- ka's Master Farmers. Theodore Roth and Willis Stock are traveling salesmen. They are said to have made just scads of money selling a combination pancake flour and horse tonic. Holy jumping jelly beans. Here they all come! They're all after me. Good- bye folks, goodbye. I got a nightmare to ride and believe me itis sure some Bronchol HELEN Dow. Bryant Olsson-Mllve been so anx- ious, dad, to find out whether your op- eration on Mr. Bullion was successful?

H. S. The first building used as a high school in Lexington was the present East Ward. The second floor was used for the upper grades, while the first floor was devoted to pupils below the ninth grade. The east room upstairs constituted the science laboratory. There were no sinks, water had to be carried from the pump out in front. The long rows of acid bottles in our present laboratory were conspicuous only by their absence. The equipment might be summarized as follows: A few dry-cell batteries, some wire, probably a bell and buzzer, pitchers for carrying water. a Leyden jar, a small number of acids, and the desks on which to write. The faculty of the original L. H. S. numbered twogthe superintendent and one teacher. Gradually the corps of teachers has been increased to the pres- ent sixteen. ln l894 the senior class graduated from a new structure situated on the site of the present West Ward. That build- ing served as the high school until lfl97, when a fire disturbed the usual routine of school and completely de- stroyed the building. A brief interlude followed this, during which the author- ities procured books for the continuance of the never ceasing quest for knowledge. Vlfhen the necessary texts arrived the pupils were notified to bring a chair and report to any one of several build- ings about town that had been drafted into service. The next fall found, in the place of the mass of burnt brick of a few short months before, a beautiful new school building. tThis building is now known as the West Ward grade school.j This structure served as the high school un- til 19l0 when the south wing of the present hall of learning was con- structcd. 1927 again found the high school overcrowded. At that time the contract was let for the 5B120,000 addition that is now serving as the home of L. H. S. Our high school buildings have pro- 1930 Page Seventy-five gressed from the four rooms used forty years ago to the magnificent edifice that greets the eye today. Two outstanding features of our school are an auditorium seating nine hundred persons and one of the best gymnasiums in this part of the slate. The first superintendent of schools was Supit Stapleton, who taught a class every period of the day. ln IH96, Mr. Delzell was hired to till the office, which was held until the first of January, l909, at which time he resigned to take a state position. Next in line was Dicherson who served a year and a half. Henson followed and is remembered by many Lexington citizens for his skill at using the cat-0'-nine tails. Sup't Pate filled the position until the arrival of P. A. Adams in 1916. Most of the class of 1930 began the grind to the top under Adams. Adams stayed until the entrance of our most honorable and cap- able C. E. Collett Whose reign has ex- tended over a period from 1922 until the present time. The first graduating class consisted of four pupils, all of whom are living today, Miss Florence Yoder, who now teaches in the Lexington grade schools, Miss Ruth Pyrtle, president of the Na- tional Educational Association, Miss Hattie House, now Mrs. M. E. House of this city, and George Anthony, a farmer of this vicinity. The first alumni banquet was given in 1893 by the first class to the class graduating, Now the Lexington Alumni Associa- tion has gained the distinction of being the oldest in the state that has met every year. From the number of four in the first class to seventy-eight in the class of 1929g from four rooms on the second floor of a little red school house to the marvelous temple of knowledge we are enjoying today, we have risen.
