THE YEAR-BOOK New Lexington boasts of one of the best High Schools in this part of the State, yet it has never published a year-book before. Various reasons might be given for this, but we cannot discuss them here. The staff has found the work on this book a pleasure and takes this opportunity to thank all those who have assisted in its publication. It is our earnest desire that the publication of this book may be continued in after years, and we feel assured that, as the High School continues to grow, this book will also grow in proportion, until it becomes worthy of being classed with those of the best schools of the land. We appreciate all the support that has been given us in our effort to make this book a success. We ask that all its shortcomings may be overlooked, considering that this is our first effort in this line. Again, we hope for the future success of this book, and we feel sure that those who have control of it hereafter will receive even better support from all the patrons of the school than we have this year. THE FACULTY The New Lexington High School has a very able faculty. The untiring labors of Superintendent Carl G. Pemberton have done much to give the school its present standing. Our genial principal, Mr. Spangler, has won the respect of the entire school. The other instructors, Miss Garrison, Miss Loewell, Mr. Van 3 Atta and Mr. Kipp, have each filled their positions in a very creditable manner. Mr. Van Atta enjoys the distinction of being a member of the faculty and also of the Senior Class, ’13. Mr. Kipp has been with us but a short time and has had many disadvantages to overcome. We all join together in giving our faculty our best wishes wherever they may go, hoping that they may serve their schools in an unselfish and trustworthy manner. We desire to show our respect to the school board, who, we believe, have always worked for our best interests, and also to the janitor, George Tharp, who has so patiently and faithfully cleaned up our “muss” after us. THE ALUMNI The Alumni of the New Lexington High School has become a very large one. The Alumni roll is to be found elsewhere in this issue. The Alumni should be dear to every graduate of the High School, for it makes possible an annual reunion where old acquaintances may be renewed and new ones formed. The members of the Alumni occupy various positions of importance, and no doubt they often think of the dear old High School days. It is the avowed intention of the Senior Class to be always loyal to the Alumni. TO THE READER As the advertising space of this book is not large, we have been unable to visit all the business men in subscribing our ads; however, we thank those who have given us ads, and in so doing have helped us in the task of issuing this book. Those advertising in this book deserve the support of the High School. A word to the wise is sufficient. IN MEMORIAM Up to within two months of the closing of school the Seniors expected to number twenty-three, but at that time one of its members was expelled; whether justly or unjustly, he still holds a place in our memory.

He is the possessor of a winning personality, an abundance of humor and a mischievous twinkle in his blue eye. He is a general favorite with all and, without a doubt, is the most popular member in the class. He is manager of the H. S. basketball team, president of the class and an efficient business manager of the “Lexingtonian.” “Red” is very fond of outdoor sports and “politics.” Success to our president! 8 BERTHA MAE BECKETT Bertha came to N. L. H. S. in the Junior Class. She came to us highly recommended, and has kept up her high record ever since. She has fitted herself for a teacher and she is sure to succeed. She has won many friends since she has been among us. Bertha has a very kind disposition and is ever ready to help those to whom she may be of assistance. She is very fond of blue eyes and light hair, especially of the other sex. GEORGE LOY BROWN George lives quite a distance out of town, but this does not keep him from attending regularly. He is the star of the class, securing merits for his work during his entire High School course. He expects to go to O. S. U. next year, where he will do special work in agriculture. He is in love with the farm and intends to “make good.” He is Associate Editor of the “Lexing-tonian.” George will succeed! JOE M. BRADDOCK Joe is certainly enjoying his H. S. work. Latin is difficult for him, but he enjoys Science and Mathematics. His favorite study is electricity, and thru his love and ability for the subject he has shown us the great possibilities for himself in the electrical field. He is going to O. S. U. to take a course in electricity. He is an active business manager of the “Lexingtonian and an enthusiastic member of the class. 9 AUDREY GRACE KINSEL Audrey is a brown-haired, brown-eyed girl, who came to us from the country, is very modest and a diligent worker. She came to us in the Senior year and was heartily welcomed. Audrey has the distinction of having graduated from High School three times. She is quite reticent concerning her future, but we find she has a desire to be prominent in the educational world. Here’s to Audrey, the girl with a will; Here's to Audrey, who is working still; Here’s to the one who came last to our class; Here’s to the dreamy brown-eyed lass! LORETTA MAE LEACH Mae is another one of our girls whose home is now in the country. She has always attended the schools here and has many friends. She has done good work in school and has been amply rewarded. Has fitted herself for teaching, and we wish for her success. Mae is very studious, an apt student, and reads a great deal. She has light hair and gray eyes, has a lovely disposition, and is a fine girl to have for a chum. Mae is Social Editor of the “Lexingtonian,” and is very enthusiastic about its publication. She has won her way into the hearts of all. She is the possessor of a clear soprano voice which is very pleasing to the ear. WARREN R. DONNELLY W. D., the son of our genial P. M., received his early training in the rural school. During his High School course he has been a pupil of N. L. H. S., and has made warm friends; particularly is he a favorite with the lady instructors. If he forges the link and enters the profession of pedagogy, time will tell. Here’s to you, Warren, may success be yours! IO WILLIAM ERRETT LE FEVER Errett came here from Western Oregon five years ago. He entered the Freshman Class upon his arrival. For three years he attended, but last year he did not attend. This year he came back and was gladly welcomed into our class. He is of pleasant disposition and well liked by all. We wonder what he intends to do, When books are laid aside And we go forth to do our part. Whatever may betide? But we think we know full well, Altho “Willie” will never tell. CHARLES MAURICE ELDER “Maxie” has the honor of being Editor-in-chief of the Lexingtonian” and is deserving of the honor. He is not fond of Science, but says he would not miss recitation in Physics because of his pleasant surroundings. “Maxie” was never known to study except when he had to, which was not often. He likes German and is especially fond of “Wilhelm Tell.” His greatest ambition is to be a pharmacist, and he now spends his time out of school in the employ of the Sheeran Drug Co. He has been a very diligent student of chemistry and has assisted the class a great deal. (?) HELEN BARD LEWIS “Chubby” is a great favorite with all and especially the Profs. She dislikes Science, but is fond of her German. Helen’s great delight is talking, and she usually has the attention of those around her (if she doesn't she gets it). She came to us in the fifth room from Shawnee. She is well known in social circles, and always has a great deal of society notes to give the girls. She thinks Physics a bore, but pays strict (?) attention to the recitations, remaining extremely quiet when called upon by the teacher. She has brown hair. She is very fond of college chaps. Success, “Chubby”! 11 GLENN EUGENE PARK “Curly” is a country lad, but attends school regularly. He is very talkative, and his chief delight is asking questions. Has light, curly hair and a slightly (?) “pug” nose. He is of a pleasant disposition and likes to play jokes on the other fellows. He is much attracted by a certain brown-eyed Senior girl, and they are fast becoming close friends. Glenn expects to teach school for two years, after which he hopes to go to college. He learns easily, and a bright future is before him. Here’s to Glenn! MINNIE ETHEL LOVE “Our Love.” Minnie is a farmer’s daughter, but has been living in town for the last four school years. Slie enjoys her school work and regrets that it is fast coming to a close. She is a general favorite, not only in the class but among her host of friends and acquaintances. Minnie “Loves” the farm home, the school, each member of the class and— well, never mind, they say he is an excellent young man, too. The class wishes this member a useful career. EUGENA CATHERINE QUINN A quaint little maid of dark brown hair And eyes of the palest blue, Thru winning arts her way has won Into the hearts of me and you. A frown from you would break her heart, A smile would mend it again; And 'Gene will brighten some one’s life In sunshine and in rain. Good luck to ’Gene, the friend indeed, May her school days help her to succeed! 12 PAUL ROY WOLFE Paul is young and low of stature, Plays the part of little Jew, Is a conscientious worker, But of mistakes makes not a few. Lives afar out in the country, Likes the maidens tried and true; Took the Ohio Teachers’ Exam, “But,” said Paul, “I can’t get thru.” Is fond of languages and history. But thinks Sciences are “bad.” We all feel sure that is the reason Professor Kipp is always mad. CHAUNCEY OWEN RIDENOUR Chauncey is one of our most intelligent students, a hard worker, and possesses much of that rare trait, “stick-to-it-iveness.” Very exact, and concise in his work, it is a pleasure to be in his classes. He has dreams of attending O. U. Chauncey is very fond of Latin, and reads the orations with so much power and dignity that it seems we stand in the Forum itself, listening to Cicero himself. He has light, wavy hair and brown eyes, has a pleasant disposition and makes friends easily. Success to Chauncey! EDNA MABEL RINEHART Mabel is a very quiet girl, but pleasant and sociable. She lacks initiative, but is willing to do her share in any task the class undertakes. She is thinking of attending college, where she hopes to come in touch with real life. She and Helen are great chums, always sharing each other’s joys, sorrows and secrets. She is always ready with good suggestions, and her decisions have great weight with the class. We wish Mabel a prosperous and useful life. 13 ETHEL GRACE TROUT Grace is a native Lexingtonian. She was born on Pleasant Street, which no doubt accounts for the fact that Grace is the “jolliest” member among us. She is a great admirer of her class and the teachers, which admiration was recently manifested when she treated each member and Superintendent Pemberton to a sumptuous (?) dish of ice-cream. Her greatest accomplishment is making “fudge.” We can testify to her ability. She does good school work, and is especially fond of German. She is a loyal and ardent member of the “Goethe Verein.” CHARLES WEBSTER STROSNIDER Dr. Strosnider has lately joined our class and is heartily welcomed by every one. He formerly attended N. L. H. S. until within two months of graduation, when he was forced to give up his work on account of ill health. He was very studious and did excellently. Later he studied music in Cincinnati for a short time: entered O. M. U. in 1909 and graduated May, 1912. His work was very strenuous, and as a result the Doctor is slightly bald. (?) He now practices dentistry at Saline, Columbiana County, Ohio. He has chosen to graduate with us, as he thinks a H. S. diploma worth having. ENID LEIGH SPENCER Enid is one of the few members of the class of ’13 who began her education here in the primary department. Consequently she has made many friends and is well known in the school. She is of quiet disposition and a genuine friend. She is the possessor of a wealth of beautiful brown hair. Not a brilliant but a persevering student. As a hard worker she deserves much praise. She possesses patience to a marked degree. May never become famous, but we feel sure that she will do her work successfully. ETHEL LUCILE SYCKS Ethel’s parents live in town, but since quite young she has made her home with her grandparents, who reside in the country. This necessitates a walk to and from school each day, which affords great pleasure, as some of the girls can testify—and hoys, too. Ethel is a great confidante, gladly sharing her secrets (?) with her girl friends. Having dark hair and eyes, she is much interested in young men of light complexion. Any one desiring information in any way address Miss Sycks, or Class Editor of “Lexing-tonian.” All questions will be answered free of charge. Satisfaction guaranteed. P. L. VAN ATT A Altho one of our Profs., he has desired to graduate with us. He attended various schools in securing his public school education and did his H. S. and college work at O. U., at Athens. Came here from Deavertown, where he was superintendent of schools. Previous to his work there he was teacher at Crooksville for seven years. Has taught fourteen years and has obtained vast experience. He has taught here for two years; was recently elected Clerk of Courts of Perry County, and will take his office in the near future. We will lose him as a teacher, but we wish him success. MARY ALVEDA WALLACE Alveda, the daughter of a teacher, has inherited her father’s talent and has the making of a good teacher. She has no inclination to teach, however, as she soon expects to establish a home of her own, but you never can tell. Alveda is an accomplished pianist and likes housekeeping. She enjoys (?) the recitations in Physics and Cicero, possesses patience to a marked degree. Enid may never become famous, but we feel sure that she will do her work successfully. 15 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY And so we are Seniors. It seems but a short time since we were called “Freshies.” There were then fifty-two of us, but, like the “little pickaninnies” on the fence, we dwindled until in our Sophomore year we were thirty-six. In our Junior year twenty-seven, and now we are twenty-two “sitting on the fence.” When we entered High School four years sounded like an interminable time. Many things have our class of ’13 accomplished during our High School career. As Freshmen and Sophomores we were rather backward, spending most of our time with our books and confining our social activities to informals. When we were Juniors we took the lead in scholarship, athletics and dramatics, for it was in that year that “Red” Greely starred on the basketball team; we also improved and enlarged the Literary Society and added dramatic art to our programs. The first production was “Too Much of a Good Thing,” given Thursday, December 21, 1911, for the benefit of the “Piano Fund.” A debating club was also formed and proved a success. Society did not find us wanting, as the mention of our Junior-Senior reception and other parties prove; this function included a banquet and dance, at which the Faculty and Seniors were guests. As Seniors our class is the first to introduce a year-book and to leave a large class pennant as a memorial. Several of our Seniors this year took the leading roles in “That Rascal, Pat,” and “Texas Mother-in-law,” two productions given for the benefit of the “Piano Fund.” We do not mean to boast, but before we make our adieux to High School we wish to say that we have achieved much for which we hope we shall be remembered. Mabel Rinehart, ’13. Helen Lewis, ’13. 16 VALEDICTORY CLASS POEM, 1913 It is all too true that the hour draws nigh When farewells must be said to this dear old school; But ’tis with a feeling of sadness, when we say good-bye, Thinking of the hours we have spent in learning each rule. Four years we have spent in the dear old place, Four years did we study and labor and cram; Memories have been formed, which time ne’er can erase, Of how we dreaded and feared each terrible exam. Now those days are but things of the past, Those tests and exams we shall know no more; Our books have been laid on the shelf at last, And all too soon we will knock at life's school door. We have followed Caesar in his long campaigns, And saw Wilhelm Tell as the apple he shot; We know all about man, his muscles and brains; To grind through mathematics has been our sad lot. The wonders of electricity, we know them by heart; We can name all the great men and their deeds oi renown. But now we must forget them in life's busy mart. For their purpose is accomplished, their mission is done. Thus endeth our first lesson, Soon in life’s school, with its great problems, we shall be. May our teachers in every session, Be that Great Teacher, the One from Galilee. As we pass from this school, a young, hearty throng. We remember with regret, those who have left us; Some have dropped by the wayside, some to other schools have gone, Yet we will never forget that they were once among us. Just a word of thanks to our teachers is due, Who have so faithfully helped us on our way; We can never express our praise and gratitude. To them our indebtedness we can never repay. We have tried for twelve years a foundation to build. So that our lives to others more useful may be. Now to those younger, our places we yield, Only hoping that they may be more successful than we. When long years have rolled around, And we return to the scenes of our youth, We trust that some of our class a victor's crown May bring back to our dear old High School. George L. Brown, '13. 17 SENIOR ( LASS PROPHECY I, Hathmar, having searched the secrets of the revolving planets at the conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune, proclaim to you certain hidden truths. The N. L. H. S. has reached the zenith of her glory. She will never in the future graduate a class that will rank with the class of T3, the star class of all history. As the pupils make up the class, so the individual characteristics, as a whole, will determine the future for the class. Glenn Park, the curly-headed boy, will learn the tinner’s trade, and at the age of thirty fall from a high building and suffer the loss of his egotism. Ethel Sycks will, at the tender age of twenty-two. become a member of the firm of ------- Co. Paul Wolfe| the second E. A. Poe, will finally become unbalanced and end his life traveling the road to and from Somerset. Mae Leach, the society editor, will choose teaching as her life-work, and will become a famous expounder of the A. B. C’s. Warren Donnelly will pass the time away sitting around on the hilltops, gazing at the heavens. He will not idle his time away, but act in the capacity of a weather prophet for Uncle Sam. Helen Lewis will fret out her life trying to find an antidote for “Blue Monday. Errett Le Fever will serve eighteen years as supervisor of Bear Run, and later be elected Congressman by the “Ruffneck party. Eugena Quinn will become an instructor in domestic science at O. S. U., and many savory odors will issue from the kitchen under her supervision. Charles Elder will be a pharmacist, and a good one. He will fill prescriptions that will cither kill or cure—invariably kill. He will die suddenly, and on his monument will be inscribed the following lines: “Maxie” has departed for the better shore, For what he took for H20 was H2S01. Enid Spencer will, at the age of forty-seven, become the President of the United States. The first one under the suffragettes. George Brown, having completed his college course, will settle down on the farm and, with the help and encouragement of his golden-haired wife, will raise corn that will average two hundred bushels per acre. 18 Bertha Beckett, the aforesaid golden-haired wife, will preside in the kitchen and dairy, and will always wear a contented smile. Judge Greely, formerly known as “Red,” will hang around musty-odored, tobacco-spattered court rooms, making them shine with his eloquence and hair. Minnie Love will continue in her loving ways, until a certain Mr. Curry decides to take the fatal plunge in the matrimonial sea. Joe Braddock, having completed his electrical studies, will become famous. H. S. pupils of 1967 will study Braddock’s Law, instead of Ohm’s. The poet of the class will be Mabel Rinehart, who will discover her ability in her thirty-fifth year, and each month will send enough manuscripts to the editor to keep his fires going. Grace Trout will finally get caught by a certain angler who resides in Zanesville. He writes: My net is love, and it will not break; And your heart in it I soon will take. Mr. Strosnider will continue in his painful business and will continue to relieve people of aches, pains and money. Audrey Kinsel is doomed to be wealthy. She will acquire it by running a hotel. A German nobleman will claim her and take her to the Old World, where she will end her days. Our beloved Professor Van Atta will serve so well as County Clerk that he will gradually rise to the exalted position of Governor of Ohio. He will be honored, and bring honor to the class. Alveda Wallace will join the Red Cross Society and minister to the soldiers, and be as attentive to them as she used to be to a certain person “From” Somerset. I, Hathmar, having revealed to you these secrets, assure you that they will be fulfilled as foretold. “Here endeth our first lesson.” —CHAUNCEY RIDENOUR, 13. 19 SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of “N. L. H. S., ’13,” being of sound mind and memory do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us at any time heretofore. First—We order and direct our executors to pay all our Commencement expenses as soon as possible, and our many debts of gratitude to those that have helped us reach the desired goal.

Sixth—Grace Trout, “the baby” of the class, gives and bequeathes to some Junior her desk, which is beloved by her on account of its location near the window, of which she makes use to throw her chewing-gum out when she sees one of the teachers looking at her. Seventh—Erret Le Fever, Paul Wolfe and Glenn Park give their knowledge in agriculture to some of the Juniors who expect to be farmers. Eighth—Mabel Rinehart and Helen Lewis give and bequeath to any Junior, who is most deserving of them, the many talks they have received for cutting-yp in German.

Fifteenth—Dr. Strosnider gives and bequeaths to the Freshman Class the teeth he extracts, that they may profit by them in the study of Physiology. Sixteenth—Edward Greely gives and bequeaths to any one of the next class his ability to create a laugh, and the hope that they may have as much fun mixed with their work as we have. Seventeenth—'Gene Quinn gives and bequeaths her quiet way and knowledge. Eighteenth—Ethel Sycks gives and bequeaths to some of her successors her sanctimonious manner. (?) Nineteenth—The writer has nothing to will except her best wishes for all of the succeeding classes of N. L. H. S.

None can deny that their ambitions have been more than fulfilled. However, modesty forbids the mentioning of their many valorous deeds here. But let it be sufficient to state that never before in the history of this school has any class withstood the hardships of the “studious life” as well as this, for now fifty per cent of those enrolled as Freshmen remain. This class has done a great deal for athletics. It has contributed “Pilly” Sears, “Don” Wright, “Juve” Johnson and “Spider” Keenan to basketball, and “Beech” Henderson, “Fat” Davie and John (poor nameless hero) Danison to baseball. Then, of course, “Shirky” Williams has the motorcycle bug pretty bad, and P. L. Yoerger is the champion in the hundred-yard dash. In literary circles also, the class has been very active. As Freshmen, we were well represented in the “Literary Sampsons” and the “M. O. L. S.” The Sophomore Class made up the “S. L. S.,” and the Juniors are the most active members of the “Buckeye Literary Club,” the “Room Four Lit” and the “Goethe Verein.” Effie Sycks and Rodney Cullen are members of the executive committee of this society. Grace Cameron starred in “That Rascal, Pat,” one of the “Piano Fund” plays, and Mabelle Donnelly has achieved fame in musical circles. Just now, as Juniors, under the leadership of our capable and efficient presidcut Rodnev Cullen, who is assisted by Ruth Wright and Paul Sears, we are making extensive preparations for giving a very elaborate reception to the class of ’13. However, surmounting all difficulties, we have successfully equated ourselves through Algebra, indirect discouraged ourselves through Latin, narrated ourselves through Rhetoric, grafted ourselves through Agriculture, Alexandercd ourselves through Ancient History, ponied ourselves through Caesar, parallelogramed ourselves through Geometry, Shakespeared through Literature, Napoleoned through European History and studierened ourselves through German, and now we must entrust the future to the class prophet.

L. H. S. as the Freshman Class. We were sixty-six in number, and as varied a bunch as ever entered a High School. During the first couple of weeks we had great difficulty in finding where we belonged, not being used to more than one classroom. We are noted for our great wisdom. The remark was made that we, the Latin students, showed great promise in translating our Caesar, although we didn’t know our declensions and conjugations in the Freshman Latin. In the fall of 1912, thirty of us again took up our burdens of study, less in quantity, but greater in quality, after surviving the final examinations of the preceding year. We have our share of virtues of the High School. We have three in our class who were on the basketball team this year: Emerson and Carl Wagner and Lowell French. And three who were actors in a play given by the High School: Lydia Chute, Emerson and Carl Wagner. We have in our class two girls who are two of the best elocutionists of the school: Lydia Chute and Florence Hewitt. We also have a boy who is one of the players in the High School Orchestra: William Chappelear. As this, our Sophomore year, is about ended, we hope to return this fall full-fledged Juniors and reach the highest goal in the year 1915 with honor, and well prepared to enter upon life’s journey. We also hope that the classes which follow will achieve as great an honor as we have done in our two High School years. We also wish our hard working faculty much good luck. Julia Braddock, ’15.

L. H. S. a troop of bashful, awkward lads and lassies, bent on winning honor and fame, or die in the struggle. Future presidents, farmers, poets, athletes and those of every calling have mingled together on a common level for this, their first happy year. At the end of each of the succeeding six w eeks of that year their spirits have risen to heights of glory, or fallen into depths of despair, as they dared guess the results of their exams. Now the year is almost completed, and although comparatively little can be done in so short a time, and they have only begun to convert many of their plans into realities, yet, they have, in many ways peculiar to themselves, proven their competency to take some part in the world’s work. With Dell as a shining star in dramatics and basketball and Plaisted in athletics, Lamb in dramatics, Flowers writing poems, of which no ordinary poet could ever dream, and Hoops spending all his spare time on a machine which is able to resist the power of gravity, and in which he expects to go to Mars as soon as school is closed, truly the class has a bright future and notwithstanding many petty faults, and the fact that our spirits are often down by the very presence of the almighty Seniors and “Sophs, we are resolved that we will still keep “pegging away” until N. L. H. S. and, perhaps, Uncle Sam will be proud of us. 30 Marguerite Gordon, ’16. FACTS and NEAR FACTT SOCIETY NOTES One of the most sensational events of the coming season will be the weeding of Miss Alveda Wallace of the class of ’13 and Mr. H. C. From of Somerset. The engagement has been known for some time and the wedding is anticipated with much pleasure by their many friends. The wedding will probably take place early in June. The class of ’13 wish them health, wealth and longevity. Grace was in hopes that the pictures would not be good, so she could go back to Zanesville. Wonder why? It is whispered that Alveda will not be the only one who will change her name. Rumors have reached us that Minnie will launch in the sea of matrimony. We think that it will be that sweet old story of, “Love in a cottage.” School was dismissed Friday, April 25. at noon so that the pupils could attend the school exhibit at Moxahala. An interesting exhibit and a good time was reported by those who attended. Many rumors have come to the class concerning the marriage of Ethel Sycks, ’13. But she denies it and says “nothin’ doin’. ” Mr. Pemberton seems to think that the bunch that went to Zanesville to get their pictures taken Saturday, April 26, could not be trusted. The last literary was held Friday, April 18. In room I five members were absent, which necessitated an adjourned session Monday morning. This was highly appreciated by all as it shortened the period for the Physic recitation. Very efficient work has been done by the societies of the H. S. during the year, and we trust it has been beneficial to all. The members of “Die Goethe Verein” have had some pleasant times during the winter. The last meeting of the year will be remembered by the sumptuous spread had at the home of Warren Donnelly. The instigator of the club was Miss Loewell, the German instructor, and much credit is given her for the commendable work she has done for the society. 33 34 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE AND SCORES November 24..................New December 6...................New December 13 (abroad).........New December 20..................New January 10 (abroad)..........New January 18 (abroad)..........New February 8 (abroad)..........New February 14 (abroad).........New February 15 (abroad).........New February 26..................New Feb. 28) State Championship (New Feb. 28 ( Tournament.

While the first part of the season was only fair, owing to ineligibility of players, the latter part was a great success. On the whole it was a very successful season, New Lexington winning eight games and losing five. The forwards were fast and great on basket-shooting, while the guards were good floor-workers, guarding close and holding their men to few baskets. They were lightest in state. Concerning Sears at center nothing need be said. The greatest showing of the team was due to the excellent work of Mr. Spangler as coach. Combined with his own ability as a player and his knowledge of the finer points of the game, he knew how to handle the boys, to criticize a play, and when to speak a good word of praise. Likecl by all, he brought forth a fast team from practically new material, Johnson and Sears being the only ones who had ever been on the H. S. team. Next year should see a champion team at New Lexington, with Johnson, Sears, French and the Wagner brothers. Coach Spangler should bring forth one of the best all-round teams in the State. “JUVE” JOHNSON Maurice was a fast forward, covering the whole floor the whole time. He led the team in point-getting, making 153 points in all. Many fast guards felt after the game as though their reputation was gone, for it was almost impossible to hold him down to a few goals. “PILLY” SEARS Paul was the one who led the team to victory the latter part of the season. As a center he was a fast worker, while his height and reach made him valuable. He played only eight games, nevertheless he ranked second as to the number of points. He was captain of the team. 35 EMER” WAGNER Emerson played his position to great advantage, showing fine form in all the games he played. Next year he will be a valuable player, having the advantage of a year’s experience. “DOT” FRENCH Lowell was one of the fastest players in the team. He was a great floor-worker, and guarded his man closely all the time. Although not heavy, he certainly was fast and was there with the goods all the time. Of the thirteen games he played, in five of them he held his man scoreless —one of the most remarkable things in basketball. RED” GREELY Edward was a surprise to every one. He was not thought to be a fast man, as he had a bad knee, but he came back and played a good game at guard all the time. He was manager of the team. BO WAGNER Basketball seems to run in the Wagner family. Carl got a bad start in the fall, but consistent practice brought out what was in him and showed that he was a fine player. In the games he played lie did finely, being a very fast player. He and his twin brother, Emerson, made good forwards. RABBIT PLAISTED Kenneth, although he only played in one game, showed that there was something in him. He profited by the experience, and will probably be one of N. L. fast players in a couple oi years, as all he needs is experience. “CHUCK” BELL Charles was a good player, but his parents objected to him playing. He will be back next year and prove one of the best men. “FAT DAVIE Chris was a fast and weighty player and would have made a mark for himself, but he had to quit, owing to his parents' objection. The team never played a smaller team. They won a game against a team averaging twenty pounds heavier to the man on the other team’s floor. The average weight of the team was one hundred and forty pounds. Glenn Park, Athletic Editor. 37 NEW LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI H. F. Acker HONORARY MEMBERS R. E. Alspach G. A. Elliott J. C.
