The Lexingtonian Published by the SENIORS AND JUNIORS °f New Lexington High School 1916 VOLUME IV NEW BUILDING r 'kf A rv Vo' .Vu� o. ««jm OLD” BUILDING Foreword It may be well that we explain to the reader at this time, the vast difference in the publication of this issue of the Lexingtonian than the former ones. In the previous years the Seniors alone published the book. Hut on account of the great amount of work connected with it, and because the Seniors arc burdened with work in preparing for graduation, the Lexingtonian was found to be a very encumbersome proposition. Moreover, the book has never been self-sustaining, and it has been found that the debt incurred was too great for a single class to shoulder. Thus through these former experiences, it was decided that this year the Seniors and Juniors would combine their forces in its publication. 'I bis has proven to be a very great success, for the book comes closer to being self-sustaining this year than ever before, little or no debt being incurred We look forward to the time when the Juniors alone will undertake this work. • • • • • • Four Baccalaureate Sermon The Baccalaureate Sermon was given by Dr. A. J. Hawk, at the City Hall. The following is a brief outline of it: “The Value of a Good Name” Text: “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Prov. 22:1. “Character is better than diamonds.” German Proverb. Each individual has the power of choice. In exercising that power we are the architects of our destiny. Mere popularity is sometimes mistaken for a good name. Character is more than transient reputation. Its value is not fixed in terms of earthly commodities. It comes as the result of study, prayer, faith, and obedience. I. There are elements of character that riches cannot buy. We mention: I, Industry; 2, Patience; 3, Determination; 4, Integrity; 5, Piety. II. Character has some undesirable features such as riches may have. For example: 1, Uncertainty; 2, Bur-densomeness; 3, All absorbing nature; 4, Unsatisfactoriness. III. Character is the only thing we can take with us into eternity. Alexander left his power, Oueen Victoria her honor, Vanderbilt his wealth, but Stephen’s faith and Dorcas’ alms deeds will be remembered forever. Character and riches are not incompatible, but the former is the nobler acquisition. We should set our hearts on great things. “Covet earnestly the best gifts.” Aim to possess the best name —Christian. Cum Facultate The class of ’16 has been under the supervision of many teachers. To them we owe our utmost regard. e love them. We find that they are no lower from the pinnacle of greatness than those renowned in History. Mr. Pemberton—A Herodotus. Mr. Druhot—An Euclid. Miss McElroy—A Latinist. Miss Wagner—A George Eliot. Mr. Hanan—An Archimedes. Miss Evans—A Deutche Frau. Mr. Rucker—A Sir Isaac Newton. Mr. Spangler—An Aristotle. Mr. Mayer—A Socrates. Miss Lowell—A Natural German. Miss Garrison—Caesar. m CARL G. PEMBERTON, M. A. Superintendent Carl G. Pemberton was born at Roseville, Muskingum County, Ohio, and graduated from the Roseville High School. He has attended Mt. Union, Ohio State, and Ohio Universities, receiving the Ph. B. degree from Mt. Union and M. A. degree from Ohio University. Mr. Pembetton has been in the teaching profession for twenty-four years, and during the five years that he has been our Superintendent, has contributed much toward raising the school to its present high standing. He holds both the Common School and High School Life Certificates in Ohio, is President of the Perry County Teachers’ Association and President of the Perry County Board of School Examiners. Mr. Pemberton has always been a man of his word, and in him we have great confidence. He shall hold forever a place in our hearts, not only as a teacher but as a friend. R. L. DRUHOT, A. B. Raymond L. Druhot was born at Mowrystown, Ohio, and has graduated from the High School of that place. He received an A. B. degree from Otterbein University and is expecting to obtain an M. A. degree from Ohio State University next year. He has been our teacher for three years, serving as Principal nearly all of that time. Mr. Druhot is candid, humorous, and good-natured. These qualities combined have made him popular in both school and social life. His presence at the staff meetings, and his suggestions to its members have influenced greatly the success of the publication. When we turn our thoughts to the old school days. Mr. Druhot will be one of the first to spring: up in our reverie. Eight MISS JEAN McELROY Miss Jean McElroy is a native of Delaware, Ohio. She attended the Delaware High School and holds degrees from Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio State Universities. Miss McElroy has acquired experience in teaching at Middleport High School and North High, Columbus. By her three years of teaching at N. L. H. S. she has brought to light the fact that the souls of those famous men, Vergil, Cicero and Caesar, have transmigrated into the beings of modern times. Miss McElroy has been one of the stepping stones to the success of the graduating class. She has charge of the Juniors, and has helped greatly to make school life more pleasant. We wish her a happy future. Nine MISS MARY WAGNER, A. B. Miss Wagner, during her first year as an instructor in New Lexington High School, has proven a very capable teacher, a thorough scholar and a splendid disciplinarian. Possessed of a kind and cheerful disposition she had no difficulty in winning the respect and obedience of her classes. Under her tutorship we have found it easy to grasp the meaning of the most difficult lessons. Miss Wagner was born at Dennison, Ohio, and is a graduate of Dennison High School. She received her A. B. degree at Ohio University. We are deeply grateful to her for her many kindnesses and the patience displayed at all time, and earnestly hope she will be returned here next year. Ten BERNARD P. HANAN, B. S. Mr. Hanan, who came here for his first year as an instructor of science at the beginning of this school year, has proved himself a scholar and a gentleman. He hails from Wadsworth, Ohio, is a graduate of Sharon Center High School, and completed a full course at Baldwin-Wallace University, where he received his degree. He has been our guide through several profitable and highly enjoyable field trips, and, while noted for his strict discipline, he is one of the most popular teachers in the school. We are all grateful to him for his kindly consideration at all times, and trust the board of education can likewise appreciate his capabilities and will retain him on their corps of teachers for many years to come.

Business Manager Thirteen Fourteen Senior Class Colors Green and White Class Motto Finished, Yet Beginning Class Flower Sweet Pea ROBERT DANISON Tall, straight, and handsome, fond of pie, literature and girls is “Dennie.” He writes poetry with the ease of Shakespeare, and in polished rhymes has written voluminously against Woman Suffrage. He is the champion speller of the county. May our President find proportionately as much success and honor awaiting him in the outside world as he has found in his little school world. “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” Fifteen GLADYS BARKER Gladys with her glow-iiiR health and sparkling blue eyes has put to flight the old idea of the pale, fragile student; she has made good. Her school work has been an honor to her class and her school. Gladys is preparing to become a teacher. “She hath many vir- CURTIS LE FEVER t urtis lives on Bear Run. Maybe that is the reason he is such a “bear” with the ladies. He used to be a little shy but no one would ever guess it now. Curt is a good humored sort, and can shoot a paper wad, or squeak a tin mouse with such an innocent look that he rarely ever gets a “calling” from the teacher. “A lion among ladies, is a dreadful thing.” Sixteen CHARLES BERRY Berry is quite a popular member of the class of ’16. Ho on a trip to Washington by raising mammoth ears of com, which feat, even after a year or so of remoteness, has the effect of raising him high in the good opinion of his fellows. He likes society, and because of it often has to take a little “snooze” the day after the night before. “Methought I heard a voice cry. ‘Sleep no more. Hanan doth murder sleep'.” LOREEN ELSWICK The preyful princess pierced and pricked a pretty pleasing pricket.” Loreen has pricked more than one heart, but at last she has been conquered in her own game Her diamond tells the story. She is tall and slender with a wealth of golden hair, and has a pleasing personality. Here is happiness to you, Loreen and may your cakes and heart always be light! H air is a woman’s crowning beauty.” HOMER SHIPLETT The class laurels go to Homer as a reward for his seemingly unlimited pluck. For four years he has come six miles to school through weather that sometimes kept the town people away. He is an ardent Anti-Suffrage man, and gives lectures and debates free of charge to anyone who wishes to listen. His favorite expression is “Ich spreche Deutch.” “No mountains too high, no abyss too deep, but that I can span them with my will.” RUBY THARP Ruby is a pretty, little minx, always ready for fun and a jolly good time, the kind to take on a straw ride or sleighing party. Ruby is one of the few girls who can master Physics. She is a musician of no little talent. “A Merry heart goes all the day.” „ • • • • • « ••••• • • ZELLA MOELLER Zella is a live wire! Wide awake and witty, no one can be blue when she is around. She writes clever poems and stories, ar.d draws admirably. She is fully competent to edit a monthly magazine and furnish the material for it; poems, stories, fashions, cartoons, and all. Clever Zella! “Nothing she does or seems, But smacks of something greater than herself.” PAUL ROCKWELL To a stranger. Paul might seem cool and proud, but the class of ’16 know him as pleasant and friendly. He is studious— most of the time, plays the cornet well but does not limit his musical talent to that instrument, for he has several little tunes he plays upon the loose boards of his desk at school. “Affecting thoughts coequal - with, the clouds.” Sevetttfan REBA RICKETTS Brown haired, brown eyed Reba is a friend to every one, and befriended by every one. That were wealth for a queen. She seems to be uncertain about her future, but a young man from out of town with whom she is well acquainted might be able to throw some light upon the subject. “Your mind is tossing on the ocean.” FIDELIS McGONAGLE Tad” is true blue. He believes in giving everyone a square deal and in being fair in everything. He is a wonder when it comes to electricity. While the rest of the class gazed on in wide-eyed astonishment to learn that electricity goes up the lightning-rod instead of down, Tad could say, “I knew that long ago.” An honest man is the noblest work of God.” Eightc CLARENCE YARGER Who dost ambition shun, W ho loves to lie in the ft Good natured, fun loving Bill. He would rather tease some one than translate German, and would work hard half a day inventing a scheme for getting an hour’s vacation. But Bill loves nature and the great out-doors, and who can sav that he is not ambitious who would tramp for miles on a hunting trip or fish patiently for hours. MARGUERITE GORDON Marguerite is the brightness of our class, and has found a place in the hearts of all her classmates. During her long illness the room seemed dark without her glowing hair and ever smiling face. She is also our star student. She joined us in 1912 and has come out at the top in all her studies. It has been rumored that she will teach next year. Here’s to you. Marguerite, and may you prosper well “None know her but to love her None name her-.but to praise.” ARTHUR McTEAGUE Arthur has the widest a - round knowledge ol any in the c ass. He Vias read widely and can dts-cuss any topic brought v p in class. This is very convenient. because the others can keep quiet and ook wise. Arthur i. our star in athletics.

LYDIA CORDER Lydia is ol Dutch descent. and truly she. her-seli. might be bom the “L ol the Tulips.” so lull ol quaint and interesting mannerisms and sayings is she. but no. she is a staunch American citizen.

Ducky dog Ninett‘n LUCILLE HAMMOND Lucille won the “Popular Girl Prize'1 at the Coffee Social last fall, which proves that she is popular in out-of-school society as well as in school society. She came to us in our So-phomore year from Crooksville. and ever since she and Loreen have shared each other’s mutual joys and woes. “A thing of beauty Is a joy forever.” OTTO HELWIG Otto bids fair to he a historian of repute. He can after a little reflection give you the names of all the great men, kings and presidents, the important events, dates, and every thing else history has known. He is an earnest student and works well at everything he undertakes. “Oh, what’s the use of talking When you can sit and meditate.” ROBERT HOOPS Bob is our genius. For him Math, was play, Caesar and Vergil held no ter-tors. and he is never happier than when working in the laboratory. His drawings for note book work were pronounced “better than the original. He is not certain what work he will take up after graduation, but what ever it is he will do it faithfully and well. “A good intellect is nature’s greatest gift.” RUBY VANATTA Ruby is our High School Pianist. She will take up the study of music m u c h more extensively after she has finished her school. She is a member of the VV. A. S. P. club and is very popular in High School society. No one has greater genius than she in writing notes unsuspected under the innocent teacher’s very gaze. “Music hath charms. . But thy charms lie not in music only.”- Twenty MARY ROSE KENNETH PLAISTED Kenneth Plaisted has furnished his class with material for m any “laughs” and relieved wonderfully those four years of strenuous labor by his droll “doings.” A favorite with all the boys and girls, and a leader in all the fun and merry makings, with an eye for mischief. What would our class have done without him! “Humor and wit are the condiments of life’s feast.” Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How dost your garden tfrow, Basket balls, and telephone calls And pretty beaus all in a row. Mary is an independent young person of distinctly original personality. She is very much admired by the boys because she will not allow them to out do her in anything. She is jolly and nice and everyone likes her. A beautiful rose void of all thorns.” EDNA DENNY “Beauty, truth and rarity, Grace in all simplicity.” Edna is a quiet, demure little maiden, a lover of books and flowers. Quietly, without making much stir, she has made a good record in her school work, but more than that she has made for herself a permanent place in the affections of all her classmates. HARRY CORE Harry is our honored Editor in Chief, and has proven to be a very efficient one. His efficiency lies not only along this line, for he can do well almost anything that he undertakes. He is an ardent book lover, a natural mechanic and an excellent musician, playing several instruments. Harry will probably become a great inventor. Success. Harry! The man worth while is the man who will smile.” Twenty-one DELLA KENNEDY “Why ’tis good to be sad and say nothing.” Shakespeare may think so but Della doesn't. Dell is a willing booster in any enterprise taken up by the class, and she has kept the class and teachers sweet through many a crisis by supplying them with every type of confectionery from candied cherries to Peter’s Milk Chocolate. She has helped her class to succeed. I am but a woman. Y hen I think, I must speak.” CATHERINE STEIN Katie came to us in her Senior year from Corning High. She is dark haired girl, slight in form, and has beautiful dark eyes. She is a diligent student and is working hard to make good. She wants to become a trained nurse. She has a vision. She will succeed. ‘Beautiful is character; and rich is the wealth of her being.” RAYMOND QUINN Raymond is in his proper element when out in the woods and fields. He knows where to find, and what to call every little wild plant in Perry Co. Raymond can be very quiet when occasion demands. but what he does say, counts. “Speech is silver, but Silence is golden.” Twenty-two Senior Class History As the present becomes future, babes grow into men, tribes become nations, and annals are born anew into history, so the class of “1916” was a babe, had an uneventful past, but now an active present and an expectant future. September, 1912, marked an important event in the history of N. L. H. S., for on that memorable day there assembled within her walls the illustrious class of ’16. For the first week the class was little more than a homogeneous whole, as each member possessed those characteristics so peculiar to all Freshmen, hut as time sped on these distinguished marks faded into the background, leaving in prominence many interesting personalities. Several Boxwell students were added to our class, which was so large that it was divided into three parts. The first thing we did in our Freshmen year was to have our pictures taken, and if you would look back now at our old pictures you would see the happy faces of many girls and boys. As the year closed, we decided that we knew a little more about the life of New Lexington High School than we did at the beginning of the year. Yet we wanted to obtain a still greater knowledge. Some thought they knew enough and quit, others thought they didn’t know enough, and decided to stay another year in the Freshman class. When we returned in the fall after a pleasant vacation, we found that we were decreased in number, but remarkably increased in energy. We possessed an undying courage, for we conquered Caesar with Miss Mc-Elroy, chased Hannibal across the Alps with Mr. Spangler, drew our way through Geometry with Prof. Druhot, and with the help of Mr. Meyer we have shown our literary ability. We have been fortunate in having Mr. Pemberton as our Superintendent during the four years of our High School life, and we have found him to be an interested helper and friend to all his pupils. At last after two years of separation we were all together again, when we entered our Junior year. We found two new teachers with us, Miss Evans, our German teacher and Mr. Rucker, a science teacher. Oh, the happy Juniors, when we went with Mr. Rucker on the trips to gather flowers. We became interested in Ger- Twenty-three man and learned those beautiful poems, “Du bist wie eine Blume” and “Dei Lorelei. This year we held our first class meeting. Robert Hoops was elected president and Marguerite Gordon our secretary-treasurer. Green and White were chosen as colors, with sweetpea as a class flower, and we are still loyal to them. We made our debut at our reception given for the Seniors. It was the best ever given and one of the great social events of our history. At the last examinations, those who slipped through were the Seniors. It didn’t feel much different to be Seniors when we returned the next fall, for all summer we had called ourselves “Seniors.” Miss Wagner, our German teacher, and Mr. Hatian, our science teacher, were added to the faculty this year. We selected Robert Danison for our president and Zella Moeller our secretary-treasurer. This was one of the largest classes that had ever entered N. L. H. S., and with a firm determination to win the honors for itself and to become the pride of N. L. H. S. With great celerity the class rose to prominence — distinguished by both Athletic and Literary ability. Thus the year has passed, with a great deal of work, something of play and a portion of sorrow in its train. We overcame the work, and enjoyed the play, but we can not wholly forget the sting of the sorrow that came from our Physics grades. On the gates of his Inferno, Dante inscribed the fateful words: “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.” Rut herein does the gate through which the Freshman enters upon his career differ from that described by Dante. Over his gate a golden light of expectancy gleams forth, which becomes more and more of a realization as he passes onward from month to month. We have endeavored to do well that which we have undertaken, and we hope soon to hear from teacher, parent and friend, the approving words: “Well done, good and faithful ser- vant; and from the President of the School Board, “You have more than earned this diploma, which we now present you.” And now the class of sixteen bids farewell to the New Lexington High School, where it has spent many a happy hour. Never again will a class like it grace the steps of N. L. H. S. We are only a score and eight, but with sweet peas in our lapel, and flaunting the Green and White, we dare any and all to compete and see who is supreme. Twenty-four RUBY VAN ATTA.

Twenty-five Class Flower: Violet Junior Class Motto: Ixibor Omnia Vineet Class Colors: Purj)le arid White A. J. YAUGER “Happy as the day is long.” Squirley” holds the honorable position of being th' Presi-,t of the Junior class. He is a happy go-lucky sort of a , who has lived in the country the greater part of his schoo i and has come quite a distance to school, ne« med to bother “Squirley” to a very great extent, for he � -rcat deal like Rip VanWinkle in that respect, he always takes ngs just as they come. Twenty-seven EUGENE HAMMOND “A farmer’s life for me.” Gene” thinks there is no place like Mr. Pemberton’s room, and his trips there are as regular as clock work, but he claims he really enjoys them for they break the regular routine of school life in the afternoons. “Gene” scarcely knows what to do with himself since he can no longer play pool at the city restaurant, but probably his noon hour can be occupied elsewhere. On account of 'Gene’s” enthusiasm over good jokes he was chosen joke editor by the junior class FAYETTE WOLFE I chatter, chatter as I go.” “Wiggle” has of late become very popular with the W. A. S. P.’s for various reasons. (Gluck Auf) to “Wiggle.” She has expressed a most earnest desire that she surely does wish a certain bunch of boys in the city of New Lexington would just once get their fill of candy, then she could die happy. MARG’T WILLIAMS “A merry heart doeth good like medicine.” “Calamity” keeps the school room in a continual uproar all the day long, for a calamity she is. She is of Welsh descent and is proud of the fact, as are all Welshmen. This young lady is noted for her vast knowledge of driving Overlands, and can be seen almost any warm, spring day. sailing out the macadamized road. It is then that Mazie, the motor-maid, has so inanv friends. RALPH BOWERS “Nature has formed strange fellows in her time.” “Brainy,” our class drummer, who sits from morn 'till night drumming away on his desk and pulling out Gladys’ hard-earned curls, is the most industrious boy in our class. This gentleman holds the most highly honored position of being the business manager of our class. “Brainy” thinks pretty well of this job for his only duty is to attend staff meetings, look wise, and enjoy the refreshments. Twenty-eight GLADYS SKINNER “And still her tongue ran on.” “Happy” is an ardent student of Professor Ku-bach, and is the “star” of the German class taught by Miss Wagner. Happy’s theatrical ability has been tested by m any high-school plays and dialogues. and was found to be very successful. She was pronounced by a certain Junior boy to be the exact image of Theda Bara. VERNON MOORE “A smooth and steadfast mind. Gentle thoughts and calm desires.” “Moore” also hails from the city of Moxa. Since his arrival at this city he has been a member of the ----’s, and seems to enjoy club meetings a great deal. Moore was a rather bashful, backward boy when he came to old N. L. H. S„ but soon overcame this difficulty with the aid of his many friends. T. J. HOLDEN “Be sure and have good eats.” “T” is the champion paper - wad and chalk thrower of our room. He very seldom misses his mark, which is generally some unfortunate on the opposite side of the room. “T” is the owner of a very beautiful, scrawly handwriting. and he claims that he could beat Miss Wagner all to pieces translating the lessons in that wonderful book called “Gluck Auf.” ANYS BLACK “Woman! thou loveliest gift that here below Man can conceive, or Providence bestow.” “Anys” has been with us for a very short time, but is already very well acquainted with all her classmates. She speaks up and expresses herself in geometry class and tells Mr. Druhot the knowledge she has attained in geometry in the Moxahala schools. “Anys” is the owner of curly, cool black hair, and dancing brown eyes that are indeed very winsome. : .rfav' • •, A V .' . Twenty-nine THOMAS LITTLE “Every day is ladies’ day for me.” “Tom” has been with us just one school year. He spent the first years of his school life in the city of Moxahala. which were, perhaps, the happiest days of his life. Tom has sev-eial friends among the W. A. S. P.’s. Will he gets stung? I hat is yet to he seen. LOUELLA MAN-SPEAKER “With smiling iips and sharp bright eyes. Which al ways seem the same.” . “Loti” arrived in New Lexington from New Straitsville in 1909 and started in the fourth grade with the same “bunch” that are now in the Junior class. She once had a very strange liking for a certain dark-eyed, dark haired hoy who left old N. L. H. S. when Lou” was but a Sophy for O. W. U. Thirty 0 ESTHER AVERY “A girl whose eyes overflow with mirth.” Peggie” is perhaps the most enthusiastic and jol-liest member of our Junior class, and is noted for her great ability to write original poems, stories, etc. She has indeed made us a splendid class editor, and has faithfully and cheerfully done her work. She is a member of the S. A. S. and is always in for a good time, especially when her neighbors are along, for then she has no chance to get lonesome. She is a favorite of everyone because of her good disposition. CARL KEENAN Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you.” Spider” is the advertising manager for the Lexingtonian. He held the occupation of newsboy for quite a while, but just recently he relinquished his position and is now a gentleman of leis-me. Spider” has taken many a walk out to the very end of one of the most beautiful streets of our citv. Maple Heights, but these extra trips were a waste of energy, for he walked in vain. HELEN PEMBERTON “It is not well that man should be alone!” “Zepp” is the daughter of our Superintendent and for that reason many unnecessary things are placed upon her shoulders. Zepp” is very fond of Buicks and adores those dear little, bright red Saxon racers, which can be seen on the streets of New Lexington most anytime that you, well, say. any time that you would probably be on the lookout for them for various reasons. WARREN WOLFE Demosthenes is dead, Cicero is dead and I am not feeling very well myself.” “Wolfie” has much talent along the line of invention and hopes some day to invent an apparatus that will carry those bothersome paper-backed books that are used in Virgil class from one room to another so he won't be compelled to journey clear back after them when the recitation has started. Thirty-oi J. T. O’HARE Is he sleeping or deeply thinking?” “Jay,” probably better known by appearance as ‘‘Slim,” has been with us since the beginning of our high school course. Although on account of selling papers he had been tardy more than one morning but this hasn’t seemingly effected his high school education for he has rambled right along.” Jay” doesn’t settle down to study very much, but when he does study he knows nothing that is going on around him. LAURA BRADDOCK Her cheeks are like the blushing cloud. That beautifies her Aurora face.” Babe,” the little blueeyed peacemaker of her class, loves her neighbors as herself. Without her a i d and thoughtfulness I’m sure the Junior girls would have had a regular hair-pulling” fight long before this age. This little girl informed us one day, with the most dejected face that you could imagine, that Warren came to school that morning without manicuring hi$ fingernails. Could anything be so dreadful? BERNARD ALLEN I would have fool to make me merry than philosopher to make me sad.” Muck” is the funny man of our class and has held that most honored position since the beginning of our high school course. For the past few months “Muck” has been a regular attendant at the co-op store. I am sure all his classmates wish him well. He claims that the “high cost of loving” is entirely of too large an amount to quite fit his pocket hook and also his way of thinking. MARGARET JOHNSON “Hear melodies are sweet hut those unheard are sweeter.” Curly is noted for her artist.c ability, especially when she is called upon to practice some sketches UI landscape gardening or a figure in geometry. She is a regular “question box” in the geometry class, and it keeps Mr. Druhot busy answering her questions. It must be conclusively proven before she believes it. Thirl CLAIRE MARIS “Quiet ami unassuming” “Billie” hasn’t been here long. Just started to N. L. H. S. in October, coming 1° New Lexington schools from C rooksville, Ohio. She became acquainted in a very short time, and has enjoyed, although not a member, several club meetings and parties of the S. A. S. Club. “Billie” says she's not particularly fond of spiders. PURL HAMMOND Silence is a perfect herald of joy.” “Pip is a rather tall, double - jointed lad. who comes several miles from out in the country to attend school at N. L. H. S.. but is of a rather generous nature and is liked by all his boy friends. He is a rather backward boy and is not known very well by the opposite sex. | u t “Rip claims that the man who blushes is not a brute.” GRETCHEN PLAISTED “A demure maid o f seventeen summers.” “Gret” has the most envied position of being: the only Junior girl who is a member of the W. A. S. P.’s. Gret refuses to draw a definite opinion on “Tommy,” hut we are pretty sure she has the same opinion of him as the rest of the Junior girls, that is. with the exception of one certain blonde, blue - eved girl whom Tom claims is the only lady in the Junior class. We would like to borrow Tom’s definition for a lady. JAMES FLOWERS ‘‘Fickle as a woman.” Well, well, if here isn't “Jim,” the little boy in the Junior class you know, who wanted to brave a Wiener Roast” every night, but the teachers seemed to have something else to do besides going to Wiener Roasts.” so we only had one. sad to say. But Jim's all right, just the same, and is certainly a dandy hand when it comes to making nets in Agriculture class for catching butterflies. RALPH PAXTON Forgive my literarv sm' the others don’t mat-,_ � Paxton declares books rot.” and sits and dreams away most of his time. His dreams have been guessed at by several members of our class, but they have all found that most of his time is spent in rambling over the hills and far away.” or sitting all day long on a bank in the hot sun fishing. HATTYE DEAVER Her stature tall, I hate a dumpy woman.” Pat” has been with us since we were in our Sophomore year. She is taking four years of the high school course in three, so that the aim which she is striving for may be accomplished. and that is to become a school teacher. She was practically unknown until she started into High School, but is now known and liked by all her class-mates. Thirty-three PHILIP WELLER “Little—but, O My!” “P. B.” is the tiniest boy in the Junior class, but seems quite proud of the fact. Should a chance visitor come to our room they might think that P. B. was nothing more than a little boy who had come over from the grades to spend a day in high school, but they would be badly mistaken, according to P. B.’s way of thinking, for he thinks he’s very much “grown-up.” PHYLLIS YAW O Heaven, were man but constant, he were perfect.” “Phil” is a pleasing maiden who possesses a disposition as sunny as her hair. She takes Caesar lessons from Miss McEl-roy and seems to get rather tired of her job. You would imagine she was the one who made those tiresome journeys over the Alps instead of Hannibal. But we can sympathize with her. though, for we kno w from experience that it is quite an undertaking. Thirty-foi JEAN CONAWAY “A smile of her would banish care, so charming is my Jean.” Jean is the society hell of the Junior class, and attends many card parties and the such-like. It is on this account that she says she can surely sympathize with anyone the “morning after the night before.” for she has had much experience along that line. Jean is the most brilliant haired member of our class by far, and is particularly noted for her failing for derby hats. CORYNNE CROSSAN “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair Like twilight, too. her dusky hair.” “Loopy” is the secretary-treasurer of the Junior class and is also a member of the girls’ S. A. S. club. She will guarantee that the roads from here to Somerset surpass all others for those wishing a short journey in a car. Then, think of the joy of living when you reach your destination. ur Junior Class History ♦ i The history of our Junior Class is the history of the growth of a mustard seed to a tree, of an acorn to an oak. Three years ago there entered into the halls of knowledge a collection of those microscopic hits of matter commonly called Freshmen. I will not try to describe that memorable day, for the truth would make us hang our heads in shame at the remembrance. The history of our first year was a regular “Comedy of Errors.” To recall to your minds the agonizing mistakes and blunders we would perhaps depress the whole company, and as this is not a day to bring up sad recollections we will draw a curtain over the events of the first year with the exception of one occasion. “The Coffee Social,” which occurred on the seventh of November in the year 1913. This was indeed quite an event, and all of us took part. Miss McElroy made an excellent “Fortune Teller” and Mr. Meyers a dandy “Dish Washer,” while Mr. Spangler and Mr. Druhot proved quite skillful in the art of decorating. This event proved so successful that we have made it an annual affair. J Thirty-five Summer Vacations” passed rapidly, and when September came upon us we were confronted by a most astonishing fact; one of us could wear our last year’s “millinery.” A strange situation; we were bewildered, we were Sophomores (?). It was quite a serious thing to reduce our heads to the normal size, and rub off the trace of green tints. As Sophomores nothing of great importance happened. The Sophomores were much less bashful and awkward, and took a greater part in the social functions. One of our jolliest events was the “never-to-be-forgotten sleigh ride,” under the chaperonage of Miss Evans and Miss Rittenour. The girls during this year formed the famous J. G. C. Club which was later changed to the name S. A. S., a secret society, having risen so high in their estimation that they were certain they could keep a secret. As the year neared its close we gradually but surely lost that overwhelming idea of our importance, until at the beginning of our career as “Juniors” we have come to the conclusion that life is a vast joke, and this world a place for the entertainment of High School Juniors. We have studied comparatively little, when occasion or the teachers demanded it, but most of our time has been spent in rejoicing over the fact that we are upper class-men. A very important event which , has taken place during our Junior year was the formation of the boy’s club, W. B. W., who are indeed quite sociable. We have also achieved during the past year a special success in the matter of spreads, always having splendid jolly good times. Among our good times was the toastings of marshmallows and the roasting of weiners, Mr. Druhot proving to be a skillful expert along this line. In our class we have many important personages, among which are a few of special note: “Peggy” Avery, our famous poet. “Muck” Allen, our second Jchabod. “Sunny Jim,” onr star mathematician. “Tom Little,” our newspaper reporter. Babe Braddock, who has the world beat in “Hair Dressing.” Maggie Johnson, our class Cartoonist. All the other members are also very talented, so you see we have hopes for a very bright future. The history of this class has not been all foolishness and few (as this history may seem to infer), has been a record of three years of friendship that we will remember for years. We are now ready for the fourth, and let us hope the final lap in the race for a diploma. Already we dream of next May when we shall each receive the White and Purple ribbon tied about a diploma. The past three years have been busy but happy, and we hope to make the fourth one even yea greater and brighter as dignified (?) Seniors. So having told of all our virtues, ambitions and achievements, let us draw the curtain over our Junior Class History.

The crops—twenty-four peaches and twenty-one pickles— harvested by New Lexington High School in the fall of 1914, will surely be the most mature Senior the school will ever preserve into Alumni. To be sure, some of them are already “canned.” The teachers were hopeful that fall, with the coming of a small class of Freshmen. Before many days their hopes had changed to resignation. Those of us they could not fail they did their best to improve. That Freshman year was crowded with memorable days. One of the many social events of our Freshman year was a celebration of the anniversary of our graduation from Grammar School. The trials of the Freshman being over, we entered the following year as Sophomores. Many of our class were killed in battle during the seige of the previous year, and our number was diminished to thirty. We were, however, reinforced by four pupils from other schools. We had the first Freshman Basket Ball team, with the record of not losing a game during the season. I he team gave promise of a splendid record in the Sophomore year, but for some reason Basket Ball was excluded from the school. Class History Although all the members of our class have accomplished things of note, space forbids the mention of each individually. We will mention but a few. We claim as a member of our class Clara McGarvey, the champion reader of the school and second best in the County. A. J. Hawk is our representative in ‘‘Luke M’Luke of course his real name is “Flivver.” Bob Koonts deserves mention for his excellence in geometry. Crawford Daily has shown very poor taste in his selection for a companion in his auto by taking an upper classman. Suffice it to say that we, as a class, have ever tried to be true and loyal to the highest spirit of truth, justice and square dealing. That spirit will truly lead us to the coveted goal of our ambition. When we, as Sophomore, rank as Juniors and go forth to the pleasant vacation days, we trust that we shall all be permitted to return in September to renew our labors, but whether so or not, we shall ever be true to that great spirit of duty which is so beautifully illustrated in the motto: “To thine ownselves be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou cans’t not then be false to any man.

A thorough and complete High School education is the goal, which we shall io lefatigably strive to attain. Our talent and ability is far from excelled by any preceding or future class. Therefore we feel that for us no barrier is unsurmountable. We are a jovial class. Eliminating the darling Sophies, the only bugbear to our tranquil existence is the dreadful, abominable monthly exams. Collectively, owing to our extreme youth, we have not produced much history; individually, our members have made history.

Forty-two 5DCIETY The Perry County Fair came a great deal earlier this year than usual. 1 his was a great disappointment to the N. L. H. S. students, because they were not able to get a couple ot afternoons off as they were accustomed to. Nevertheless, it was well attended by them in spite of rain. A reception was given at the M. E. Church Friday, October 8, 1915 ,n honor of the new minister and family. It was well attended by the High School boys and girls. A good time was enjoyed by all. We were glad to have Arthur join us this year. Two or three Seniors and Juniors of N. L. H. S. did not set a very good example for the Freshies. and especially the one who accompanied them on Tuesday, October 12. I hese pupils played hookey and motored to Crooksville, spent a very enjoyable afternoon visiting the schools, all unconscious of the threatening danger, which was made known the following day. Some one was kind (?) enough to put the names of al! the people concerned in the Crooksville Advance. However, no ill feeling resulted from this little incident that gave it all away. Marguerite (Jordon entertained the Seniors with a Hallowe’en party October 29, 1915. Some time and oh. you eats. )ne ot the social events during the year was a trip to Junction City on Friday, November 5, 1915. We met at the Court House corner about 6:30 and chartered the 7.03, landing in Junction City a short time afterward. We spent the evening seeing the sights (?) and playing games on the school ground. At 8 :30 we started homeward afoot, arriving here about 10:00, a weary but happy bunch. After arriving home we attended the local picture show. I he F. I.. I. P. club entertained a number of girl friends at the home of I homas Little, January 25, 1916. Forty-foi Ruby Van Atta entertained the W. A. S. P. girls with a slumber party September 30, 1915. I he annual Coffee Social was held at the Armory Fn’day, November 19, 1915. It was a great success and everybody seemed to have a good time. The Doll Shop proved very successful. Why not? The G. S. C. girls met at the home of Lucille Hatn-mond December 21, 191$, for the purpose of having the ( hristmas Grab Bag. 1 here are only two of the members who attend N. L. H. S., but we thought they deserved honorable mention. 1 lie W A. S. P.'s swarmed Christmas day at the home of Zella Moeller and Christmas evening at Verna Rapp s. However, it was reported thta no one was stung. On the memorable night of October 29 a jolly bunch of High School students held a Hallowe’en party at the home of Henry Wagner. Zella Moeller entertained the W. A. S. P.'s at her home with a kid party February 21, 1916. A number of B. V. D. s serenaded them. Margciret Johnson entertained a number of girls with a Halloween party Saturday, October 31, 1913. A good time was reported. On March 3. 19 6, a “Little Girl’s Party” was held at the home of Helen Pemberton for the famous S. A. S. Uub. A splendid time was the result, and many interesting flash light pictures were produced. Once upon a time school cares pressed heavily, and nowhere could any silver lining be found in the over-hanging cloud. 1 hen when fate was most unkind some of the boys decided to ignore fate and make a silver lining for their cloud. A club was the idea. Therefore and thereupon arose the B. V. D.'s. We have no dress or odigations, a better organization, more loyalty, and more jr fun per square hour than any other club, past or present. 1 he club is composed of Kenneth Plaisted, Harry Core, Raymond Quinn, Robert Hoops, Clarence Yarger, Curtis Le Fever, Fidelis McGonagle. Paul Rockwell and Robert Danison. We meet every ten days at the homes of the members, according to alphabetical order. The club has succeeded far beyond the hope of any of the members. With the end of school we have finished eighteen meetings, with enough fun to last an ordinary person a lifetime. Zowie Boom! Zowie Boom! Zip! Boom! Zie! School boys, Senior boys, Boys of the B. V. D. A number of the boys entertained the honorable W. A. S. P. club with a New Year’s party at the home of Kenneth Plaisted. A great Christmas party was given at the home of Louella Manspeaker on the 23rd of December for the Juniors and Faculty. All received handsome presents, the most useful and ornamental being a watch given to Mr. Druhot. On the whole the Juniors behaved admirably, so that the Manspeaker’s had a home left in which to eat their turkey dinner. A most sumptuous affair was held on the evening of December 30, 1915, by the former members of the Y. M. C. L., consisting of a general good time and elaborate spread at the Park Hotel, followed by a theater party at the Grand. This was the final wind-up of this organization, which was once thriving nicely in our city. The evening was most pleasantly spent and the whole affair pronounced a grand success, well deserving of a place in the Lexingtonian. Those present were: Misses Mabelle Donnelly, Florence Hewitt, of Cincinnati. Mildred Rin- ger, oi Canal Winchester, Mildred and Jennie Conaway. Irene Kelly, Mabel Rhinehart, Helen Pemberton, Fayette Wolle, Bernadette Allen, oi Columbus, Grace Trout, Nina Holden, Lucille Hammond and Ruby Kaufman. Messrs. James Stinchcomb, Burl Trout, Glen Parks, Roy Trout, Chris Davie, Walter Daniels, William Chappelear, Crawford Dailey, George Danison, William Donnelly, Charles Berry, Albert Kisler, John Danison and Harvey Parks. The F. L. I. P. club entertained a number of friends at the home of Noel Seibert, March 31, 1916. A good time was enjoyed by all. Miss Mary Rose entertained a number of girls with a theater party Friday, February 25, 1916. The Spelling and Reading Contest took place on the afternoon of March 9, 1916. Robert Danison was the champion speller and Verna Rapp the champion reader of the Senior class. Robert also won out in the school contest. N. L. H. S. certainly has the talent and makings of great actors and actresses, as was shown by the play “Fi Fi of the Toy Shop.” Fi Fi (Loreen Elswick) as a heartless flirt, who promised to marry Prince Lollypop (Thomas Little), then runs away with the Man in the Moon, and finally comes back and marries faithful Tin Heart. Aurelia (Zella Moeller) was the fairy, who made all impossible things possible. The Man in the Moon was successfully played by Arthur McTeague, who so romantically slipped on a peal of thunder and fell right into the lap of mother earth. It really was heart rending that he could not marry Fi Fi, but, sad to say, he only made a quarter a week and he needed that to get full on. Tin Heart (Kenneth Plaisted) was just a tin soldier, but a very brave one at that. Bonnie (Mary Rose) was Forty-five the little girl who kept the doll-shop. The solo dancer, (Lucille Hammond), was a very graceful leader of the bridesmaid’s chorus. Many other pupils took part who deserve much credit. The New Lexington Arethusus team played the Kenton Reds a three game series to decide the Basketball championship of Ohio. The Arethusus won the first game, played at home, by a score of 45-20, but were debated in the second game played at Kenton, in which they played overtime. The third and deciding game was played at Lancaster, and New Lexington won by a score of 29-28. This gives New Lexington a claim to the world’s championship, the Kentons having defeated the famous Drysdale club of New York, which has held the title for several seasons. The one person deserving mention in the series is Arthur McTeague, a member of the class of 1916. He plays the position of forward on the team, and is a wonder at goal shooting. He is like lightning on the floor, and during the series he alone made half the points scored by the New Lexington team. The Senior class held their election February 25, 1916. Robert Danison was chosen president and Zella Moeller secretary-treasurer of the class. The Seniors went to Zanesville March 18 to have their “mugs” shot. The W. A. S. P. girls had a delightful time making eyes at the Y. M. C. A. boys, so it was reported. Now we wonder? Forty- ix The staff meetings have been very successful this year, and good times were enjoyed by all the members of the staff. Our first meeting was at the home of Edi-tor-in-Chief, Harry Core; the second with Charles Berry; the third with Lucille Hammond and the last but not least with Prof. Druhot. The eats were always delicious. Our annual exhibit was held March 31st. On February 12, 1916, one of the greatest school organizations ever known was formed by the Juniors of the N. L. H. S. All the Juniors were mentally overworked, and a rest had to be found in some manner. A meeting was called and a glorious club was formed. It was called the S. S. S. We meet every two weeks at the homes of the members. A literary program is given occasionally. We have held 12 meetings and the club has prospered, as all things engineered by the luniors do. The members of the club are: “Muck” Allen, “P. B.” Weller, “Squi-rely Yauger, “Pete” Moore, Tommy Holden, Warren Wolfe, “Rip” Hammond, “Gene” Hammond, “Jim” Flowers, Ralph Paxton, “Spider” Keenan, “Brainy” Bowers. Next year we will resume our fun with redoubled efforts, and expect to wind up our senior year with one grand “splash.” Chew tobacco! Chew tobacco! Chaw! Chaw! Chaw! S. S. S. Rah! Rah! Rah! S. A. S.

And if you don’t believe it, Just take time and look. Yet I’ve worked both hard and long, And I’ve surely spent some kale. But still some wise guy will sure say These jokes are surely stale. And if I chanced to spring a joke On one of these wise guys, They are hound to have me choked, Swat me in the eyes. So this one thing is bothering me, As I write this little note, I don’t know whether he’s so wise Or whether he’s the joke. So gentle readers if you, I slam, In just a simple yarn, Don’t raise a fuss, just pass it on. Because I mean no harm. Forty-nine “Bernard, 1 want you to understand that I am still boss in this room.” “All right. Professor, but you are a coward to make the boast behind Miss McElroy’s back.” Homer Shiplett: “I have many trains of thought.” Robert Hoops: “Yes, but they carry very little freight.” Photographer’s advice: Always try to get a front view of a scene that has no mule in it. It’s easier for Juniors to raise a rough house that it is to raise a mustache. It is said that brains will tell, but usually the more brains people have the less they know. Well, then, that accounts for the great verbal capacity of the Fresh yes, Soph’s, Seniors and Faculty. Hannan you may call us clod busters but learned men are taken from our ranks. Wagner: “Live, laugh and have fun; there may be a time when you can’t.” Druhot: “Better one boy in a school room than two in a pool room.” Ralph Bowers: “All ye who are feeble minded stay with me, for does not the Bible say, ‘Leave not thy unfortunate brother behind.’?” Tom Little (reporter): “The storm king hurled his torn and tumbling torrents over the ruins of the broken and dismembered edifice.” Editor: “What’s that? What do you mean, young fellow ?” Little: “Er-r-r flood washed away Pat Coyle’s cowshed.” Mr. Hannan: “Where do you find hogs on the farm ?” O’Hare: “In the pen, of course.” Mr. Pemberton: “Of course you went up the Nile?” Louella: “Oh, yes; there is a splendid view from the top.” Miss Wagner: “We will have written work today.” Elmer Wilson: “Shall we write it on treasure island?” Miss Wagner: “No, right here.” Translate: “Ich mochte Freia ein Kischern.” Ester Avery: “I would like to give Freda a ‘cow’.” Mr. Hannan (talking about spreading disease): “Now, if a person was quarantined and went out on the street, what would happen?” Plaisted: “He would be persecuted.” Old Tight-wad Allen hates to pay a debt, He’s ready to dispute it. He’ll kick at any bill, and yet He never wants to foot it. Miss McElroy (out walking with a possible suitor and has her little sister along who became frightened at he squirrels): “Why, Lillian, if you are so nervous now, what will you be at my age?” “Thirty-nine, I suppose,” meekly replied Lillian. Toddy: “I arise to a point of order.” Druhot: “State your point, sir.” Toddy (absent mindedly): “Helen Pemberton.” There is a young fellow called Tommy Klein (Little), Who of gray matter hasn’t a sign, But he’s worked a big bluff, And that is enough, So we’ll say nothing unkind. Miss Wagner (in German class): “Margaret, I think you will find it, if you turn to your appendix.” Ruby Y.: “But, Miss Wagner, you are asking an impossibility, for my appendix has been taken out.” Fifty Mr. Pemberton (catching Moore giving Philip a beating): “Here, don’t you Know that is cowardly to strike anyone smaller than yourself?’’ “Yes,” replied Moore, “But I was too polite to mention it when you spanked me yesterday.” Beany: “You owe me five dollars.” Yarger: “just put that bill in the dust and let the rain settle it.” Quincey (at restaurant): “How much is your beef steak O’Hare (waiter): “$2.50.” “How much is your gravy?” “Nothing.” “How much is your bread?” “Nothing.” “Then bring me some bread and gravy.” “Ha, ha,” chuckled Mr. Pemberton, as he tossed aside the magazine he was reading. “What is the joke?” demanded Ruby YanAtta. “Why, it says in that fool story that a woman became too full for utterance,” laughed Mr. Pemberton. “Well, what’s funny about it?” asked Ruby VanAtta. “A woman can become too full for utterance, but the fuller a man gets the more he talks.” “Are you Hungary?” “Yes, Siam.” “Well, come along, I’ll Fiji.” And straight across the schoolyard came Some schoolmates on the run. And advancing toward our helpless selves Said: “Gee, these jokes are bum.” “What do you staff members get for all this work,” we were asked the other day. “Oh, nothing at all but thanks,” we said. “Our glory is our pay.” Loreen: “He said he would go through a raging flood just to look into my eyes.’ Katie: “W hen? Last night?” Loreen: “No, he ’phoned that it was raining too hard for him to call last night.” Father: “What is the young man’s business that I saw hugging you in the parlor last night?” Ruby (confused): “Why, he-cr-er he is a book agent.” Father: “Oh, 1 thinght he was a press agent.” A wise Zanesville physician flattered Thomas Little because he told him he had brain fog. HOW SWEET LIFE WOULD BE IF ' Brainy Bowers would ever become a senior. Thomas Little didn’t have such a good opinion of himself. Fay Wolfe wasnt’ so queer and funny. Homer Shiplett could find some sense. Miss McElroy wasn’t so grouchy. Gladys Skinner did not take so many walks. Mr. Druhot would get married. Miss Wagner would pass us all in German. Students could tell the faculty what is on their minds. Louella Manspeaker would ever quit asking questions. Helen Pemberton would quit running a bluff. Philip Weller could only eat some rubber and stretch up. I aura Braddock would make eyes at us boys instead of at Druhot. Skinny Keenan did not think so much about his neckties. Hannan would let us take a field trip every day. Warren Wolfe would take a ioke. Vernon Moore had a steady girl. Fifty-one Fifty-two The New Lexington High It is the boast and pride of the New Lexington High School that it possesses a strong and enthusiastic “Alumni Association,” second to none. Upon graduation, the graduates are greeted and received into a loyal Association, which has vitally at heart the interests and welfare of the New Lexington High School. The advancement and promotion of good feeling among the graduates of this institution are the essential features and aim of the Association. The initial meeting of the association was held in the Town Hall Thursday evening, May 9, 1895, by several of the loyal graduates, and coached by J. C. Fowler, the able and efficient Superintendent of Schools, they laid the foundation of what has grown by leaps and bounds to be one of the strongest associations of its kind in the State. A Constitution and By-Laws governing the work and scope of the Association were adopted at that meeting, which have amply met all the exigencies of ever changing conditions, and they stand as a monument to the wisdom and foresight of those composing the committee at that time. The N. L. H. S. Alumni Association held its first regular meeting at the home of Miss Louise Mason on May 16th, 1895, w'ith the following officers composing the committee: Dr. Robert L. Richards, president; Blanche Colborn, Samuel Chappelear and Florence Mains School Alumni Association as vice presidents; Ida M. Hitchcock, secretary; and Charles C. Chappelear, as treasurer. With the hearty support of the succeeding Superintendents, Teachers in the Schools, and Graduates, the Alumni stands today on a firm and substantial basis and an excellent affiliation with the work of the High School. The annual receptions and banquet are eagerly looked forward to, with a feeling of keen anticipation of the good things that are in store for all those who attend. The committee this year, realizing the success of the past affairs, is leaving nothing undone to make the evening of May 18th the banner one of them all. President Mell G. Underwood, assisted by an able and efficient corps of officers, is striving to make May 18th an evening long to be remembered by the graduates of the class of ’16 and all those present. Vice Presidents Mildred Conaway, C. L. Chute and Robert Bennett and Secretary Nelle Keenan with Treasurer R. A. Chappelear are zealously working overtime to make OUR Alumni meeting this year the most pleasant and enjoyable social affair of the season. The officers respectfully solicit the hearty support and co-operation of the High School students and teachers as well as the members of the Alumni. We ask you, one and all, to BOOST, and DON’T FORGET TO COME and bring a friend. M. G. UNDERWOOD, President, NELLE KEENAN, Secretary. Fifty-three HONORARY MEMBERS H. F. Acker C. L. Martzolff J. C.

If the spine is right the man is right. If your life is worth anything your health is worth a few minutes' investigation of this science. If You Are Unwell and Have Tried Everything Else, With No Lasting Results, Try Chiropractic, Mechano-Therapy and Hydro-Therapy Chiropractic (Ki-ro-prak-tik) is the first aid to nature, and the only exact science that removes the cause of disease. Other systems are still laboring with effects of disease and treating symptoms. The brain generates the nerve stimulus or electricity which runs your body, and from there it is conducted to the various organs, glands, muscles and parts by the nerves. When the flow of nerve force from the brain to any organ or tissue is usrestricted perfect health in that part of the body is assured, but when an impingement of a nerve takes place, the flow of impulse is restricted, allowing only a small part of nature's life-giving force to pass through to the parts supplied. These parts being thus deprived of their normal amount of nerve stimulus, begin to weaken and are unable to functionate normally. The cells break down, resistance gives way, and disease is the result. The competent Chiropractor with trained fingers locates the subluxated vertebrae in the spine, and in a skillful manner adjusts them to normal position, removing the pressure from the nerves, thus permitting nature to send a full flow of pulsating, vitalizing, life-giving impulses to affected organs and tissues, thus removing the cause of disease. Mechano-Therapy is the use of manual, physical or mechanical measures for therapeutic purposes. Hydro-Therapy is the use of water for therapeutic purposes. Cleanliness is Godliness. Lady Patients—In no line of disease do we have better success than in the various diseases and ailments which affect womankind. Benefits are promptly shown without the annoyance which they are subjected to under other treatments. The proper nerve supply being restored, normal functions are quickly re-established. By investigation many things are made clear that would otherwise be hidden in darkness. C. C. Adams, D. C., D. M. T., D. H. T. Bell Phone 362-R Cit.
