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.

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 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
