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

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

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.
