New Lexington High School - Lexingtonian Yearbook (New Lexington, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1917 volume:

This Book is respectfully dedicated to the MEMORY OF JAMES FLOWERS, who left us in the flower of youth. 1 The Lexingtonian Published by the SENIORS AND JUNIORS NEW LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL 19 17 Vol. V 2 h , Wn o« « s •iv� • 3 To the Readers Owing to the success of the Lexingtonian last year due to the cooperation of the Senior and Junior Classes, we have again combined our forces this year, feeling confident that we are offering you a better and larger book than ever before. We have worked with this aim in view, To publish the largest and best Lexingtonian ever, and to leave a record of our high school life in New Lexington. Practically all the old departments of the previous volumes are included in this one in addition to new features. We know that we have the largest volume ever put out at this school, and feel confident that it is the best, however we will leave that to your judgment. OCR JANITOR “ Uncle George Tharp, our janitor, is a great favorite of the boys and girls, especially of the Senior Class, who owe him thanks for many helps and hints of value to them. He is of a happy, smiling disposition, which accounts for his popularity. He sometimes nearly scares the wits out of us by yelling, “Fire on fire drill days, but we forgive him for that as we soon recover and feel better for the exercise. May future classes appreciate him as we have. QUESTIONS What has become of the old-fashioned, loving couples, who used to wander out Mill Street spooning? Have they disappeared or has the boulevard become too densely populated? GENERAL REMARKS It is the desire of the Staff and all these interested in the Lexingtonian to thank the advertisers and those who have helped to make it a success. Their generosity and public-spiritedness is thus shown so we would urge that they be given the support of the High School and its friends for such persons deserve support. 4 Baccalaureate Sermon The Baccalaureate Sermon was given by Dr. J. H. Dobbyn, at the City Hall, Sunday Evening, May 13. The following is a brief outline of it: “ The Great Refusal” Text: If thou wilt be perfect, go sell that thou hast, and give to the poor and come and follow me. Two young men are face to face. The one as young as the other is young. The one as sincere as the other is according to his knowledge sincere. The one fine of form, noble of bearing, a young man of the cities. The other a man of the hillsides, with deep lined face, a leader of men. A man of purpose. The one young man asks the other young man the all important question. What must I do to inherit eternal life? He is much perplexed. The Savior listens to him and then treats him as He treats all anxious and inquiring souls. He talked to him about his difficulties, and made his great offer. That Offer includes three things: 1. Crossbearing. 2. A Career. 3. A Character. Why that strange condition. Sell, Renunciation, The Cross? How much there is of the Cross in all true religion. Renounce. Give up. Sell all that thou hast. It is not otherwise in the business world, or in education. We must sacrifice to obtain. It cannot be otherwise in religion. To have ones life a man must lose it. Second. A Career. Follow Me. That word Follow is a frequent one in the lips of the son of man. It meant in those days literally what the words state. To follow Him to the next village to heal the sick and to open blind eyes. To instruct the ignorant and to comfort sorrowing hearts. To follow Him today means much the same thing, while not literally still in a very real sense. Third. A Character. He did not offer him heaven. That would come. Unless he had the character of those who inhabit that region, it would be intolerable to him. Christ calls us to be men. Not the enjoyment of the self-indulged lives, but to a life of 'elf-sacrifice that shall produce that character, that shall endure forever. 5 Staff Members SENIOR MEMBERS Warren Wolfe.........................

Pemberton, our superintendent, was born at Roseville, Muskingum County, Ohio, and graduated from the high school of that place. He has attended Mt. Union, Ohio State and Ohio Universities, receiving the Ph.B. degree from Mt. Union and the M.A. degree from Ohio University. Mr. Pemberton has spent twenty-five years in the teaching profession, the Inst six of which he has been Superintendent of our schools, and during that time has done much to improve the school and its members. He has just had our school placed upon the Accredited list of the North-Central Association of College and Secondary Schools. The Seniors are very proud of this fact. He holds both the Common School and the High School Life Certificates in Ohio. Mr. Pemberton has always done this part in helping the school and its members, especially the Seniors, and he has the best wishes of the Class of '17 for a happy and prosperous life. R. 0. BURGETT, A.B. Mr. Burgett, our principal and mathematics teacher, has won the love and esteem of all the student body. He is experienced in teaching, having taught one year at O. S. U. and one at Utica High. He was born at Columbus, Ohio. In 1907, he graduated from Doane Academy. He received his A.B. degree from Ohio Wesleyan, then began work at O. S. U. for his M.A. degree, but, although he did not complete his course at that time he expects to in the near future. Mr. Burgett has been an efficient principal, and is highly respected by all. The Seniors are especially grateful to him for his many kindnesses and favors. We wish him success in whatever he undertakes, earnestly hoping that he will be returned next year. MISS MARY SEMANS, A.B. Miss Semans is a native of Delaware and a graduate of Delaware H. S., and Ohio Wesleyan of that city. This is her first year in our midst, but she has certainly left her mark among the students, especially the boys. Her line of activity is Latin, and she knows Caesar and Cicero by heart. Miss Semans is a very necessary member of the faculty and we cannot think of Cicero Class without her. So the class of '17 wishes you a most enjoyable future, Miss Semans, which promises to be very bright. MISS MARY WAGNER, A.B Miss Wagner came here two years ago and began what is deemed a very successful pedagogic life. Miss Wagner was born in Dennison and received her English Education at O.U., where she acquired her degree. Of course the Juniors are Miss Wagner's Favorites as she has charge of them, but nevertheless she is very popular among the student body and always has shown great spirit and interest in school affairs. She has taken great interest particularly in athletics, and has been a heavy rooter at all the Basketball games. Miss Wagner’s long suit is English, in which she is “Jake.” Miss Wagner has decided to quit teaching after this year, so we wish her success in her future profession, whatever it may be (?). 11 MISS ESTHER REISER, B.S. in Ed. Altho Miss Reiser's work is mostly confined to the Freshman class, still she has made her splendid instruction felt among upper classmen, especially the Seniors. She is an excellent teacher of Biology and Commercial Arithm tic, and is well liked by her pupils. Miss Reiser is a native of Columbus, Ohio, and a graduate of South High of that city. After attending O.S.U. and receiving her degree, she began teaching at New Lexington. She has done much to help her classes both in school and in their social affairs, especially the organization of a gi l’s hiking club. W. D. WILL, B.S. Mr. Will was born in New Straitsville, Ohio, and graduated from East High of Columbus and O.S.U. He came here this year and has been a great addition to the Faculty. From the start of the year, Mr. Will has been a strong man for athletics. He, by ardent work, organized several track teams and conducted a track meet. In Basketball, Mr. Will coached the team through a very successful schedule. In Physics, in which he specializes, Mr. Will has made it easy for the upper classes and his O. K on the experiments is very pleasing to note. Success, Mr. Will will surely be your lot. 12 MISS ALTA CHERRINGTON Miss Cherrington, our music and drawing teacher, came to N.L.H.S. last September to begin her career, and has proved herself very capable in her duties. She was born at Northup, Ohio, and attended the New Straitsville High School. She holds a Diploma in Public School Music from O.U. Miss Cherrington has been kind and considerate at all times, ever willing to help where she found opportunity. Her task has been doubly difficult as this is the first year that music and drawing have been taught here. She has promoted several musical entertainments with great success. We heartily wish her equal or greater success in future years, and hope she will lie returned here next year to continue her work so well begun. MISS MARY RODGERS, A.B. “Sie ist eine deutsche Fraulein.” Miss Rodgers began her pedagogic life at her own home town, this being her first year in teaching. As a native of New Lexington, she spent her school days here, graduating from High School in 1908. Later she entered O.S.U. from which she received her A.B. degree. She is very tiny, and perhaps that accounts for the reason that she is so precious, particularly to certain electricians, teachers, etc. Miss Rodgers has gained the admiration of all her German pupils, and especially of those who have enjoyed many study periods under her supervision. We are all proud of her, and hope that she will continue'and prosper in her present work. 13 RALPH PAXTON “ None can describe that sweets of country life. But those blest men that do enjoy and taste them.” We have as president of our most renowned class of 1917 Ralph Paxton, who is very brilliant as well as accomplished. He speaks German almost all the time. His knowledge of American History is beyond comprehension. He is a country lad, and walked quite a distance to school so was well prepared to receive the prize at the track meet last year. As he leaves N.L.H.S., he has the promises of a great future; and so our most loyal officer, we extend our wishes for success. Senior Class Motto: “LABOR OMNIA VINCET” Class Colors: PURPLE AND WHITE Class Flower: VIOLET 15 CLAIRE MARIS “Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds Were in her very look.” Twas in our Junior year that Claire was added to our class. She was a demure little girl at that time but after spending two years with us has changed somewhat and is now ready to take a part in all happenings of the class. She was admitted to the S.A.S. Club and since that time not only Claire but also the club has been noted among the social affairs of the town. She is a star student in German and ranks high in her other studies. Her gentle disposition is well liked by all the Seniors. Good luck Claire. GRETCHEN PLAISTED “Of all wise words the best by far are, ‘Take things meekly as they are.’ ” Gretchen is a very pleasing maiden who never disturbs any one around her when she talks. She represents the class of '17 in the W.A.S.P. Club, and we are all proud of her for that. She has many virtues, and holds a high place in the estimation of all her classmates. May she always be thus. VERNON MOORE “The mildest of all men.” “ Pete Moore is tall, handsome and rather quiet. He never overworks himself in school, however, he has studied enough to obtain good grades. He is splendid in working out experiments in Physics, and never worries greatly about writing them out. He is good natured and always takes a joke well. This year he tried out for the “High School Basketball Team,” and although the games in which he played were all lost, nevertheless, “Pete” did his best and was not to blame for this. He is thinking of going to college next year, and if he does, all of his class hope that he will pass through that schooling into a life that will be useful. 16 A. J. YAUGER “My feet, they have the wonder-lust They fain would lead me on.” Our “Squirley” is witty, and delights in tormenting others with his jokes and near jokes. He well follows the rule, “If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.” In Physics, he performed an experiment eight times until at last the result was correct. He is the leading man in “Mose” our class play as his part well suits him. Whatever his future may be, let us wish him success and good luck. CORYNNE CROSSAN “A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.” The Senior class has never found an opportunity to grow dull or sad since it has had with it “ Warbling” Crossan who is always ready to cheer her class mates with a song or a “giggle.” Her laugh has been looked upon with disdain by many of her teachers, but nevertheless it is only their envy of that inimitable quality that has led them to take this view. She has a fine voice, and the present outlook is that after a little more training, she will gain the fame and admiration that, in the past has been bestowed upon Melba and Shuman Heink. EUGENE HAMMOND “It was summer when he smiled.” “Gene” is a country lad who attended N.L.H.S. for four years, and is now ready to enter upon his brilliant career as an actor. He thought somewhat of teaching, for a while after leaving school, and took the teachers' examination; but suddenly, he seemed to change his mind, and has now determined to spend his life on the stage. He is of a very generous nature and always ready to give assistance to those in need of such. He has spent a great deal of his time in school trying to copy Corynne’s smile; and we must say that at last he has succeeded. May it always be thus in his undertakings. 17 LAURA BRADDOCK “She knew it not, but she was fair, And like a moonbeam was her hair.” Among the stellar students who this year receive diplomas from N.L.H.S. is “Babe” Braddock. She still believes that Jackson Street will be paved. During her four years in high school, she missed only a few days in spite of her frailty. She is thinking of attending Normal School next year, and then teaching. We are all satisfied that her good nature, knowledge, and smiles will facilitate her work and make her a splendid “school marm.” PAUL DOUGHTY “It is the quiet worker that succeeds.” Paul is the youngest boy in our class. He doesn’t have so very much to say, but puts his thoughts into pictures which were so wonderful that he has been selected as class cartoonist. He is a very accomplished boy along the musical line, and has added a great deal to our High School Orchestra. Although he has only attended school in New Lexington for one year, he has found many friends and admirers who are anxious to see him succeed in life. MARGARET JOHNSTON “ Poetry’s a gift wherein few excel. Dear, sweet, lovable, curly-headed little “Maggie.” What in the world would we have done without her? Has she talent? She holds within her grasp the greatest amount of talent of any one in the class. She can draw wonderful cartoons of her classmates, and is a wizard when asked to compose poetry. She is a member of the S.A.S. Club and entertains us immensely every meeting with her vocal selections, home talent plays, and acrobatic stunts. On account of her unusual genius she was chosen our class editor. You class wishes you a happy and prosperous future, Margaret. 18 RALPH BOWERS “My eyes make pictures when they are shut.-’ “ Brainy is a very fine fellow with a head of beautiful hair which is his chief pride. He is rather of the dreamy sort. When in Physics class, Mr. Will would accuse him of being asleep, he would always answer, “I am not asleep,” I just had my eyes shut.” He is splendid in drawing, especially mechanical work. Lastly (his description would not be complete if we did not say that) he can actually run a “Ford ” LQUELLA MANSPEAKER “A rich, full nature, free to trust, Truthful and almost sternly just.” “Lou Manspeaker is a very sociable and well-liked girl. She loves Latin but dislikes Physics; this dislike may easily be shown by an incident which occurred in class a few weeks before school was out; when she was called upon to explain the Wimshurst Machine, she suddenly fainted and, of course, was excused from that terrible ordeal. As class historian, she is almost an equal to Edward Gibbon. Never at want for a word to say, she was excelled by only one other in the class. After leaving N.L.H.S. she is expecting to go abroad for a few years to study music, and if this opportunity is afforded her, we surely hope that she will bring fame to her class. WARREN WOLFE “He was a scholar, and a ripe and good one; Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading: Lofty, and sour, to them that loved him not; But to those men that sought him, sweet as summer.” As editor-in-chief of the Lexingtonian, Warren has shown his great ability and management. He has worked hard during his High School Course, and this is shown in splendid grades. He is fond of German and Latin; is a splendid artist, which ability he displayed most appropriately in Cicero Class. Our class was placed on the books of fame when Warren won the first prize in the three mile race at the track meet. He intends to enter O.S.U. next year, and we know he will progress in his work there. Good luck Warren. 19 HATTYE DEAYERS “There's language in her eye, her cheek, her lip, Nay, her foot speaks. We are glad to have in our class one whom we are sure will make a splendid teacher. Hattye passed the teacher's examination, and received a high average. She has a great temper which seldom gets beyond her control, unless in the Physics Class. She intends to enter Athens’ Normal School this summer, and then the rest of her years will probably be spent in a maidenly way, teaching school. Don't be cross, Hattye. PIIILLIP WELLER “We are all poets when we read a poem well.” “P. B. has spent most of his school days among the Senior Class members who have now reached the goal. He is rather ambitious, not too proud and has great promises for the future. Mr. Pemberton thinks he will become an elocutionist, but ”P. B.” is a little at doubt concerning the matter. He is a very industrious lad and as the most precious articles come in the smallest packages this surely is so in him. Whether he takes Mr. Pemberton’s advice or others he will hold his aim. EDNA HILLIS “She was 'jes' the quiet kind. Edna is a rosy cheeked, black-haired girl who, during this whole year has gone back and forth from “Moxie” to New Lex. in order to have her name among the other illustrious graduates. We never know what she is thinking, or ever heard her say much, but just by the look in her eyes and the smile on her face, we knew she was happy and would surely succeed. 20 CARL KEENAN “I awoke one morning and found myself famous.” “Spider” Keenan is a very diligent boy outside of school. His hobby is science which he loves greatly. He is a favorite among the girls of the class. Altho he is rather thin, he is of a medium height, and therefore makes a good appearance. He loves Literary and greatly regrets (?) the fact that he doesn’t get to attend many meetings, for he is always so busy on those days. “Spider thinks box socials fine, especially for certain reasons. He loves the inhabitants of Moxie, one in particular. May his life be brilliant and well led. GLADYS SKINNER “Her overpowering presence make you feel It would not be idolatry to kneel.” “Happy” Skinner is the belle of the class and town. She really can't stop talking and smiling which has won her the disfavor of certain teachers, but “Happy” has the courage of the early martyrs. She says she is willing to stay in any night for detention period if it is only as a punishment for a smile or a word. As leading lady in our class play “Mose” she will probably attract the whole of Ohio and Mr. Pemberton is already worrying about the crowd. We hope that she will through life carry the nickname which is given her not only in word but in meaning. JOHN W. RICKETTS “His face was pleasant, and all the while He wore a kind and genial smile.” John W. Ricketts is a prominent citizen of this town, and is well known throughout the country. He is a district superintendent of schools. Mr. Ricketts has chosen to graduate with our class not only for his dilpoma, but also to have his name written upon the most honorable roll of boys and girls that has ever graduated from N.L.H.S. He is well known among the social circles on account of his splendid voice. Success in your calling, Mr. Ricketts. ESTHER AVERY “She danced like this, she danced like that, Her feet seemed everywhere; They scarcely touched the floor at all, But twinkled in the air.” A jolly girl our “Peggy is, and though her hair is a beautiful auburn still she never loses her temper. “ Better late than never” is her motto, for she always manages to reach her destination, but never on time. She thinks she would like to become a nurse; and at present, there is a great demand for such. May she progress in her work. STANLEY HOLCOMB “Fain would I climb, but that I fear to fall. Stanley graduated from Moxahala High School in 1914, and since that time has taught school. He thinks girls are a wonder and especially those of N.L.H.S. This probably accounts for his graduation. He frequently visits Sayer in his Ford, and always reports a good time. Stanley is kind, and that has won him a place in the heart of many. Altho mesh bags are a trifle out of date, he still thinks they are O. K. as long as they have something in them. Welcome to our class Stanley, and success in the future. JEAN CONOW AY “A pleasant countenance is a silent commendation.” “Jennie is a jolly, light haired (?) lass whom we all love. She lived in the country many years, and after moving to town, she soon became accustomed to the life therein. She is invited to many parties and is very sociable. A splendid elocutionist our Jennie is; and though she doesn’t care much for some of her lessons, she loves Civics the best. She does not think she will extend her schooling beyond the present limit, for she has other strong outlooks in view. 22 T. J. HOLDEN “You can't boost a man up a ladder unless he does some climbing himself.’’ “Tommy” Holden is an efficient lad who, after about two months illness and absence from school, returned and studying hard made up his work. He is now ready to graduate with the rest of the class. Since a small boy, he has shown his energetic spirit, and his love of work. HELEN PEMBERTON “The woman who is most loved Is by no means the most beautiful, But she has that indescribable something That for lack of a better term we call personal charm.” Helen, our superintendent's daughter is a great favorite among the girls and boys. She is of a very generous nature, and always ready to lend assistance, especially when someone faints. Altho she is not so good in the art of drawing at present, she has great promises. She expects to go to Athens next year to attend school, and may her suitors increase. TOM LITTLE “Tom's album was filled with pictures of belles, Who had captured his manly heart.” “Tommy” is a very mutable fellow; three times in the past year he has stopped school for a few days, each time he returned, but everyone in the class thought that he had just planned these little “vacations” for various reasons. He is a very sociable boy, and attractive to certain of the other sex. In school, no one could surpass him in making extemporaneous speeches at Literary meetings or in Physics class. Tommy would like to be a surgeon, and surely, he has had a great deal of experience along that line, for no one could equal him in “cutting up in school. 23 IU TH WIGGINS “Strongest minds Are often those of whom the noisy world Hears least.” This year among those from “ Moxie who wished to graduate with the famous class of 1917 was Ruth. She has always attended to her school work well and when she leaves, she carries with her some of the greatest honors of the class. Being one of the kind who do not make known all their thoughts or desires, we are unable to find out her future. However, we know that if she works as diligently in after life as she has during her stay in New Lexington, she will surely succeed. CLARENCE KOCHER “Without the smile from partial beauty won, Oh, what were man?—a world without a sun!” Among “Moxie's” representatives is Clarence, a tall, fine looking young man. He walked back and forth from that town to New Lex. for a while and is the very picture of health. He plays the cornet in the High School Orchestra. He has made a great hit among the boys and girls, both on account of his looks and nature. He expects to become a farmer and surely there is no more honorable position in life than that. May he prosper. MARGARET WILLIAMS “Joys, like beauty, but skin deep.” “Calamity” Williams is one of the jolliest of our school. She is always ready with a laugh whenever it is needed. She is quite a motorist, and expects a Saxon in May as a reward for the strenuous efforts she has put forth in her school work. “Calamity” is a great advocate of Women's Suffrage. She delights in entertaining her friends, and hence has held several enjoyable parties during the past year. We, as she is, are not sure what she will make of herself, however, we know that her life (if it will be as it has been in high school) will always be bright and jolly. 24 SHELDON KINSEL “A simple, guileless, childlike man, Content to live where life began. Sheldon Kinsel is among those who this year stepped forward to receive a diploma from N.L.H.S. Altho he has received his education as Abraham Lincoln, having never attended high school, yet he is well qualified to receive his diploma. He has taught school many years; and altho only one of our class has ever taken instructions from him, we have always heard good reports. If he continues his life as a teacher may he be successful in his work. FAYE WOLFE To restrain the tongue is not the best of virtue.” “Betty” is a social favorite of our class. She is an excellent poet, and her lines have reached the depth of many hearts. She is thankful for many things (she says); but above all for the gift of speech, and all it has not gained for her in the past, it will in the future. We do not know her plans yet but suppose by the present indications that she will attend o.u. FRANCES FORQl'ER “Impulsive, earnest, prompt to act, And make her generous thoughts a fact.” “De” Forquer is a rather tall, fair, blue-eyed girl with auburn hair. She took a course in Domestic Science in her grand old town of Moxahala, and has practised it on several of her friends (?) here. She cooks everything real well especially spare-ribs. As a lover of books (it would be well to give an example of her love), she read over a hundred in her Sophomore year, and over fifty in her Senior year. She loves to do house work, so boys here’s your chance. For sale to the highest bidder. 25 ANYS BLACK “ Is she not more than painting can express?” Anys is one of the most competent members of our class, and, as secretary, she has worked faithfully. She has attended our high school for the last two years, and in that time has gained many friends. Anys is one of those who put their thoughts into words, and therefore, we have never been at doubt as to her opinions on certain questions arising in the class. As an author of short (?) stories she is unexcelled. Whatever her future may be she will prosper, never mind. SADIE WHITLOCK “She’s a beautiful and happy girl.” Sadie Whitlock is a rather large girl with dark hair. She thinks her Physics lesson a treat, and that the teacher is fine. She is happy all the day, and always willing to take a part in matters which concern her. She has not disclosed her future to us, but we judge that she will not think of matrimony for a few years anyway. As she goes thru life may she ever cherish dear her beloved classmates. I. N. POLING “Experience is by industry achieved, And perfected by the swift course of time.” I. N. Poling is this year, a graduate of N.L.H.S. He attended school at Ada and altho he did not remain there until he cotdd gain a diploma, nevertheless, he worked hard and accomplished a great deal while in that school. From then until the present time (which has been about thirty years) he has taught school in Jackson Township. As he now thought he would like to acquire a first-grade high school diploma he has chosen to graduate with our class and is indeed welcome. 26 Senior Class History T LAST, our dreams are about to be realized, and we are to quit dear old N. L. H. S. forever. Just four years ago, in 1913, we did not think that the day would come so soon when we must say goodbye. Our Freshman class I suppose, would be classed by the name of “Greenies” as all Freshmen have been since the beginning; but we really did not care about the name applied to us, because we knew, down in our hearts, the name should not be applied to such a bunch. So we labored thru the Freshman year with all its knocks and trials, and entered on our Sophomore year with as much fervor, and not as much timidity, as when we were Freshmen. How important we felt when we could look do yn on the little “Freshies” and play the little tricks on them that the Sophomores had played on us; but then there was something of sympathy for them among us for we knew how to sympathize. The Sophomore class was no less industrious or brilliant than we had been as Freshmen, for we determined to carry the name all through our course, that of a bright and well-behaved (?) class. There were not quite so many Sophomores but enough to be heard when it was necessary. When we entered upon our Junior year, we felt proud, haughty, important and great To think that only one year remained to us and only one class above us. Of course, this year wras the year in which our history really begins because it was then that wre attracted some notice from the other classes, and began to be asked our opinions upon matters of importance. During our Junior year w-e selected our flower, motto and colors to which we have always been loyal. A. J. Yauger was elected our class president and Corynne Crossan our secretary. We had no athletics this year but the Juniors’ ability was allowed to be shown in another way. A play “Fi-fi of the toy shop” was a huge success. Almost every Junior girl took part in this play either as a “doll,” a brides’ maid or some other character. Of course, there were people from other classes in the play but it may be counted a credit to the Juniors as well as to them. The annual exhibit was held that year also, and the “pep” of the girls was really amazing. We all brought our best fancy work, and even made candy to sell to the visitors. Miss McElroy was always planning something to make our room pleasant and enjoyable, and when it took the banner for three months, she prevailed upon Mr. Pemberton to allow us to celebrate and so for one whole period we ate ice cream and chatted and really had a wonderful time. The last day of the school year, we also had a spread It cannot be described on paper our feeling when we entered N. L. H.S. as Seniors. The time seemed so brief when we looked back, and thought of the time when we were “Freshies” and envying the Seniors. Oh! How' we envied them. But now' the case is reversed, and if the hearts of the Seniors could only be read, they would all be envying the Freshmen the four pleasant years they have before them. But this year has been a very busy and a very happy one. So many new' teachers were added to the corps, and so many new rules made that every-jhing seemed different. 27 Under the management of Mr. Will athletics were again brought into the school and the season was ushered in by a track meet in which the Seniors came out first, not taking all the points but enough to make them leaders. Then Basketball was the main thing on the program and the High School team was one of the fastest in the state, meeting only a very few defeats. With all our happiness and good times this year was saddened by the death of James Flowers. James was a member of our class until ill health forced him to quit school and his death was a sad shock to all. We have had our joys and sorrows alike this year but have tried to make the best of it and believe we have accomplished as much as any class which has left this dear old school.

He came to N.L.H.S. from Granville Hi in our Sophomore Year, and has since proved himself a brilliant acquisition to the class. He is witty as can be, keeping all those around him in constant fits of merriment. Quite often, “ Fliver” expresses his great love for the various teachers in very eloquent words; but this is easily understood— “ Fliver” is a minister’s son. Junior Class Motto: “NOT THE SUMMIT, BUT THAT BEYOND’ Class Colors: ORANGE AND BLACK Class Flower: YELLOW ROSE 32 CRAWFORD DAILY “The bigger they are, the harder they fall. “Tody is the big man of the Class. In spite of his enormous size, he is quite popular with the ladies. He is one of the very, very few Juniors who has spent his entire educational life in New Lexington Crawford is an autobug, and believes in preparedness on all occasions. He is quite studious and may be seen, quiet as a mouse, preparing German, in which he stars (?). CLARA McGARVEY “The mind ought sometimes to be amused, that it may the better return to that and to itself. —Phaedus. Clara has red hair, but luckily we seldom see the temper which traditionally accompanies it. Her ability in the English Language is shown by the fact that she is Class Historian. She is a faithful attendant at the Staff Meetings. Clara won the Reading Contest in the New Lexington Public Schools in her Sophomore Year EARL DOBBYN “Who makes good use of the moment, is a genius of prudence,”—Lavater. Dobbyn is another of these very good “minister’s sons. Altho it took him almost a year to become acquainted with N.L.H.S. students, after he became acquainted, he proved a great favorite, “Ossie played as “sub on the High School Basketball Team this winter. He has informed the Physics Class that he can hear better when he looks toward the back of the room. We wonder why? 33 Rl'SSELL RICHARDS ■‘A fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind. —Garkick. “Russ” surely has a fellow-feeling for all his class mates. He stars as forward on the Basketball Team, and is Associate Editor of the Lexingtonian. What would we ever do without him, since he carries the Cicero class books up and down stairs every day; “chases” all over New Lexington at the slightest whim of the Junior Girls or the Faculty; and helps keep up the reputation of the Junior Class as being the most brilliant in N.L.H.S. MILDRED WHEATCRAFT “ Who chooses me shall gain what many men desire.”— Shakespeare. “Jap” is the time honored beauty of the class. In this she is excelled by no one in N.L.H.S. “Jap holds the position of class Editor on the Lexingtonian Staff. She is a promotor of all things and is especially fond of music and LOVE. The old fashioned “doll parties” are one of her favorite pastimes. She also delights in entertaining a certain portion of the Basketball Team. Success to her in whatever work she may undertake. HAROLD SANDERS “ Betide, betide, whate're betide, Love shall be lord of Sandy’s Side.” “Sanders” is the Star Basketball player of the high school. He has a wonderful record as guard on Hi Team. ‘‘Sandy” is one of those auto-bugs, and may be seen motoring out on the Somerset.Road with his best girl at his side. Sanders ;s one of the firm backers of every movement for the good of the Junior Class, he also is a musician of no little talent, but he seldom demonstrates his ability. 34 HENRY WAGNER “And what is so rare as a day with June?” Henry is noted for his fondness for covered bridges, Chandlers and June. Early in the year, he was elected Cheer Leader of the Basketball fans by a large majority, and has proved very efficient in this art. “Hen” is planning to be a lawyer and expects to attend Harvard or Yale some time after he completes his High School Course. Success to You Henry Old Top. MILDRED STINCHCOMB “Vaulting ambition which o'er leaps itself.”—Shakespeare. “Mid” is one of the few persons of this honorable class who started to school at New Lexington. She is an ardent advocator of women suffrage. She also excels in the art of debating. One of her ambitious intentions is to surpass Mr. Pemberton in the arguments in the M. M. History Class. We think Mildred will attend O.W.U., but wherever she goes she will have the best wishes of her Class. LINNIE BARKER “The hearts meteors tilting in the face.”—Shakespeare. Linnie lives miles in the country, yet she has attended school very regularly the three years she has been with us. She is a very good student, for she has been known to have spent whole evenings in studying. Remarkable. 35 HAROLD FRENCH “ Fie, what a spend-thrift he is of his tongue. — Shakespeare. “Frenchie is one of the hard-working Advertising Managers of the Lexingtonian. We imagine he rather enjoys his trips to .the various towns in search of advertisements. Frenchie” has played on the Basketball Team ever since he has been in High School. He has found a place in the hearts of us all, and will not be forgotten soon. RUTH ROSE “ All orators are dumb when beauty pleadeth.—Shakespeare. “Jack” is a very little girl, but nevertheless we always know when she is around. She is Joke Editor of the Lexingtonian; perhaps this gives some insight into her character. “Jack” starred in the Doll Shop at the Coffee Social last year, and also in Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop. There is one fault which may be attributed to “Jack,” that of an extraordinary amount of interest in the lower classes, but we shall forgive her. “There’s a Reason.” LEO HUMPHREY “So sweet the blush of bashfulness, Even pity scarce can wish it less.”—Byron-. Undoubtedly, Leo is the most studious and serious mem -her of the Class; he spends long hours committing to memory his lessons. He was forced to quit school this winter for a time. We were surely glad to see Leo back in the customary front seat later in the winter. 36 FRANCIS STEWART “Airy ambition, soaring high. —Sheffield. “Stewart is another fiery haired member of the Class. When he started to High School, he resided in the country, but has since moved into town, where he takes great advantages of the location. Stewart has very high ambitions, so naturally, we expect great things of him in later life. JEANETTE WILSON “Contentment, rosy dimpled maid; Thou brightest daughter of the sky. —Lady Manners. Jeanette is a very enthusiastic girl, willing to give her aid in any crisis, no matter what goes wrong, we are quite sure Jeanette will be as happy as can be. She is very wise for she keeps all her troubles (if she has any) to herself, while the rest of us tell ours to the world. CLYDE WOLFE “Every man is a volume if you know how to read him. — Channing. “ Wolfie” joined us in our Sophomore year and has proved a very good addition to the Class. He was “sub on the Basketball Team this winter and was quite a star. “Wolfie helped us very much in the Juniors vs. All High team game. He is an excellent farmer. He expects to continue his education and then enter whole-heartedly upon his well chosen profession. 37 NOEL SEIBERT “Most men have more courage than they themselves think they have. —Greyille. Without a doubt'the laurels should go to “Si” for his extraordinary ability in climbing; no porch or telephone pole is so high that “Si” cannot climb to the top. He is something of a ladiesman, and may be seen wandering on Pleasant Street and vicinity almost any evening. In Basketball Si is there with the goods as an all-around man. His enviable record is not to be surpassed on the basketball floor. Success to you, Brother. ICEL HUFFMAN “Nature was here so lavish of her store That she bestowed until she had no more. —Brown. “J. K.” is the Secretary-Treasurer of our Class. She is always in for a good time, and is a great helper in planning and carrying out plans. She is very Pretty and usually in a good humor which endears her to the hearts of us all. “Slippery is quite fond of the High School Basketball Team, but she doesn't know we realize that Fact. RAY WOLFE “Earnestness alone makes life eternity. —Carlyle. “Chubby is the smallest member of our Class. Altho little, he has made himself known in our midst. He has achieved some glory in the Basketball World, playing on the Arethusa Junior Team. “Chubby” thinks German nearly the most Magnificent study he has ever undertaken, and Miss Rodgers agrees with him perfectly on that point. 38 RALPH HAYDEN “ I had rather have a fool to make me merry, than experience to make me sad.”—Shakespeare. “Hady” is the fun maker of the class. His keen eye for mischief makes him a very popular member of the class. He is quite Athletic and was “sub on the Basketball Team. He is also an ardent Arethusa fan. Girls and Love have no charms for “Hady” as he winds his way happily thru this world. VERA LE FEVER “A light heart lives long. —Shakespeare. Vera comes from Bear Run and seems to enjoy the journey to N.L.H.S. Her wonderful store of black hair, and her beautiful brown eyes make her very attractive. On Hallowe’en, Vera delighted the hearts of the Juniors by entertaining them with a ghost party in her father's barn. The Class wishes her success in her promising future. SARAH YARGER “She is a woman, therefore may be woo'd, She is a woman, therefore may be won.”—Shakespeare. Sarah is not very enthusiastic about N.L.H.S. Perhaps, this is explained by the fact that she lives in the country, and is sometimes quite inconvenient for her to attend school. She does not know whether or not she will finish her High School Course, but we wish her success in what ever she chooses to undertake. 39 RI'BY TEAL “What I have been taught I have forgotten; What I know I have guessed.’-—Talleygrand. Ruby has been with us since we were Grammar School Students. Apparently she doesn’t worry about her lessons, for we never see her studying diligently the morning after the night before. She rather likes the system of teaching History in New Lexington High School, since it affords us all so much comfort. GRACE WHITLOCK “ What manly eloquence could produce such an effect as woman's silence.”—Michelet. Grace is a pretty and loyal Junior. She lives several miles in the country, but nevertheless seems to enjoy N.L.H.S. She was with us in our Freshman year, but her Sophomore year was spent in Indiana. Our Class was glad to welcome back %vhen we were all united in the Junior Room. 40 CLASS HISTORY Prelude ISTORY, in the broadest sense of the word, is all that man has ever done, or thought or hoped or felt.” When the historian realized the full meaning of the word history, then only did she comprehend the stupendousness of the task that lay before her. When she realized that she would have to reveal, in order to create a true history, all the actions of the vivacious Ray Wolfe, all the thoughts that have chased themselves thru the meditating physiognomy of the sage, Frances Stewart; all the hopes that are concentrated in the mind of a wistful Junior maid; and record all the emotions and feelings of Henry Wagner as he trods his way thru covered bridges, then and then only does she realize that a history cannot be written, and the minds of the curious will have to be satisfied, by simply giving a brief summary of the happenings of the Class taken collectively. Chapter 1 Freshmen of '15 The members of this class appalled and startled the rest of the high school by their unusuai dignity and poise so rare in Freshman. Collectively as a Class the Freshmen year produced but few events worth recording; individually a few members achieved fame. At the end of the Freshmen year, the class, with the exception of a few who fell by the wayside, was ready to go forth a more wise and intellectual group to enter the High School as Sophomores. 41 Chapter 2 Class of ’16 September, 1915, brought thirty-one less verdant personages to register as Sophomores. During this year the class was so busy struggling thru Caesar, Geometry and other bugbears, that little time was given over for enjoying social functions. In the High School musicale play Fi-Fi, the Sophomores furnished numerous stars; namely, Ruth Rose, Mildred Wheat-craft, Icel Huffman and Clara McGarvey. In the High School “Most popular girl contest” Ruth Rose won by a large majority of votes. Chapter 3 Juniors, ’77 September, 1916, saw the class united and assembled in the Junior room, with twenty-four jolly members all ready for work and a hilarious good time. As Juniors, they have pulled down honors galore; the Physics class has been pronounced the best in the high school and then the M M History class could not possibly find a rival; the class has furnished four letter men for the New Lexington High School Basketball team, besides three “subs,” who gallantly supported the team; the Captain of the team, Harold Sanders, was elected directly from the Junior class; and what other class than the Junior could have produced a cheer leader such as Henry Wagner? Our social endeavors thus far have produced but one event: the never-to-be forgotten ghost party that was held in the spacious barn belonging to Vera Le Fever’s Father. Finale This completes the epitome of the career of the class. If the historian dared she could prognosticate events that may happen, events of the social nature and events of achievements, but then that would be digressing from the viewpoint of history. Therefore she ends this history wishing the continuation of Chapter 3 and the whole of Chapter 4 to be records of unexcelled accomplishments and felicity.

NOTHER chapter of the history of the glorious class of '19 is now recorded. In the year that has passed since our first chapter was written, we find many things to add to those preceding events, which have served to bind us closely as a class. All students know the joy when at last they can no longer be called “freshies.” Such was our joy when we came back to school in September, 1916. As Freshmen, we were so backward that we dared not venture forth to participate in any social frivolities; but when we comprehended that we were carefree Sophomores, we got together, and made up for lost time-First and foremost, we organized as a class, and choose Red and Black for our class colors. In October occurred our first social event, which was a taffy pull at the home of Josie Denny. In November, we met at Feigleys Grove where we toasted weiners and marshmallows, and were serenaded by the Eukelele Club. We next helped Marjorie Minturn celebrate her birthday by having one grand party at her home; at this party, the future of the “Sophs was prognosticated by the Iouja board. Early in November, we had a fudge party at the home of Eleanor Moeller; the chief diversion of the evening was a fight over the marshmallow cream can. In January t we had one hiliarious party at Lenora Rodgers'. One of the merriest events of the season was the sleigh ride to Crooks-ville under the chaperonage of. Miss Wagner; that night we made new friends and sweethearts (we will leave this to the starry night). Some of the stellar pupils will undoubtedly in the near future.have their visages in the hall of fame. We have among us, Gordon Belfry, the wise owl, who can ride a horse in Caesar’s cavalry with such dexterity that he takes the honors from Buffalo Bill. But poor Gordon rides no more; because the steed escaped from his watchful care was lassoed by Miss Semans, and cremated by Uncle George Tharp. Herbert Tracy, who would bawl out his grand -mother with absolutely no scruples, nevertheless deserves honorable mention here, because he brought glory to the Red and Black by winning the 100-yard dash in the interclass track meet. Marjorie Minturn is the prima-donna of the class. Edgar Keenan,—one of the “Sons of Rest, lives by the motto, “If school interferes with your pleasure cut school,” Anna Runk is our Sophomore vampire, who beats Theda Bara when it comes to oogling her o r bs at the sterner sex. Ethel Gordon is a very gifted person, artistic, and can write clever stories. We have among our number the best artist in the school Josie Denny. Miriam Powell is an exception considering the quantities of fudge she makes, so dear to the hearts of us all. Thus we could rave on indefinitely about our class, but we feel that this is sufficient for one brief chapter in the history that we are making for our class and for ourselves.

Xk. |N SEPTEMBER, 1916, seventy-two ardent young students entered N'.L.H.S. to begin the contention with the various studies. A great many were from the country, but they entered actively into the new life. The first few days were days of confusion for the Freshmen, but these soon passed, on account of our great facility of entering into the heart of the high school sociabilities; and, on the whole, we are one of the most popular classes that ever entered N.L.H.S. Many important events havejoccurred during the year; foremost of which were, the weiner roast, held at the Infirmary Farm; and a sleigh ride, enjoyed by the pupils of Miss Reiser's room who were accompanied by several members of the faculty. On this trip, Mr. Will displayed his generosity by stopping at a candy social, held at the Nugent School, and purchasing a box of coal for candy which he donated to the school's coal receptacle. Other events were: the apple roast, held at the home of Cathryn McGonagle; the taffy pulling, at Goldie Bauffman s, to which, not only Freshmen, but all members of the high school were invited. In the early part of the year, Miss Reiser, our Biology teacher, formed a hiking club of girls, which enjoyed many trips into the country. VVe have mentioned all the important events that occurred, and now we beg leave to give a brief epitome of some things that would seem queer, if they should happen: if Loy Hammer would become vivacious and cause a disturbance; if Mary Nairn would fail to recite; if Donald Wagner would become a lady-fusser; if Evelyn Rinehart would cease to be buxom; if Nora Guinsler would become corpulent. The boys of the Freshman A class formed the B.O.A.T. Club, which they hope to continue thru the four years. We have many extinguished members; namely, Samuel Arnold, who would have been a great Latin student, had he studied the book instead of the teacher; Robert Danison, who would be a great comedian, if his jokes were not like rusty steel traps that do not spring right; Daniel Gilley, the target for the Sophomore Vampires; Franklin Weller, the champion tardy mark attainer, who has received more of these marks than any member of the high school. Pauline Hynus, Hazel Holcomb and Nelle Donnelly, who vie with one another for the distinction of being the class belle; Sterley Henry and James Swackhammer, who contend for the honor of beau-brummel. Some of the distinguished members are: Margaret Richards, our famous essayist; Helena Flowers, who has promises of being a great sketch artist; Edith Yost, who can answer any question in Biology that anyone asks her; Joseph Beever, the most brilliant Latin student of the boys in the class. The rest of the class are equally distin- guished, extinguished, and otherwise. The majority of the H.S. Orchestra is composed of Freshmen, of which we are very proud. Many have fallen by the wayside, overcome by the Freshman studies, but we hope to retain the rest of our brilliant members until we receive our diplomas. 48 Mabel Potter, 'iO, Allen Ros 1 ’$0. Society SEPTEMBER 5, N. 0. Club enjoyed a weiner roast at Feigley’s Wood. On the evening of the twentieth of September, Feigley’s Wood rang with the merry voices of the S. A. S. and guests, who had met to “dance by Cynthia’s light,” and feast on roasted weiners and toasted marshmallows. Two of our H. S. teachers loaned us their services as chaperons. Thanks to the members of the Perry County Fair Board for holding the Annual in September, thus bringing a vacation early in the school year. The pupils took advantage and attended in large numbers. September 22, Lylis McPeek entertained the N. O. Club with a chicken supper. Owing to the success of the first attempt of the season, the S. A. S. planned another feast for October 12, at Montgomery’s Wood, but since a deficiency of chaperons prevailed was held in Pemberton’s yard. It was here that Mr. Will disclosed the future of several, as well, perhaps, as Sibyl might have. October 26, Faye Wolfe entertained in honor of Goldie Barthlowe, Logan. October 27, the Freshmen following the example set by the higher classes, enjoyed a weiner roast at the Infirmary Grounds. October 30, a hay-ladder ride was given by the F. L. I. P. boys. The Senior class, proud of the victory that their classmates, Warren Wolfe, T. J. Holden, Ralph Paxton, Eugene and Purl Hammond had won for it at the Inter-Class Track Me et entertained in honor of the victors with a spread at the home of Margaret Williams; a very enjoyable time was reported. The night the Seniors held their banquet, the Juniors celebrated by parading all over town and giving their shirt-tails a little outing. 50 Arthur Hawk entertained F. L. I. P. boys and friends November 3. October 18, Sophomore weiner roast. In the spacious barn, on the Le Fever estate, Vera entertained the Juniors with a ghost party. October 27, Freshman apple roast at Catharine McGonagle’s. November 3, Josie Denny entertained the Sophomores with a taffy pull. November 17, Mildred Wheatcraft entertained N. O. Club with a taffy pull. December 6, Faye Wolfe entertained a number of friends with cards. Margaret Williams held her annual “Hard times party” on December 20; a party at which the guests felt perfectly at home. January 17, Thomas Little entertained F. L. I. P. boys. January 18, The Freshman class, accompanied by several teachers, attended a social at Rehobeth. January 19, the Sophomores left home in sleighs expecting to see the New Lex. boys play Crooksville boys at Crooksville, but arrived too late so attended the Movies. Dr. Dobbyn entertained the Basketball Team with an oyster supper January 23, in honor of the triumph over Crooksville Hi. January 31, Sophomores had a big spread during the noon hour in which all members of the class participated. February 7, Faye Wolfe entertained with cards. February 10, tea was served by Mabel Potter to N. O. Club. February 14, Ruth Rose entertained members of N. O. Club with a “little girl party.” Perhaps, the most successful event of the year was the Musical Entertainment given February 17, by pupils of the school under the direction of Miss Cherrington. March 22, Freshmen of Room 6 and faculty enjoyed a potluck dinner at school. February 23, Miss Reiser chaperoned some Freshmen girls to Zanesville. 51 March 22, High School was dismissed at 1:45 so that the pupils might attend the Good Roads Meeting. The Staff Meetings held twice a week under the direction of Miss Wagner and Mr. Burgett were very much enjoyed by the members. Each meeting was a regular party. They were held at Ralph Bower’s, Margaret Johnston’s, Harold French’s, Laura Braddock’s, Clare McGarvey’s, Russel Richard’s, and Mr. Burgett’s. Saturday afternoon, March 24, Miss Semans entertained Sophomores at a reception in honor of her cousin. Miss Ann Seman, of Delaware. March 26, the Sophomores entertained with a fudge party at the country home of Helen Brown. April 12, the girls of the Senior class entertained the Basketball boys with a spread, at which Mr. Will presented six members of the team with letters which w'ere well earned by the boys. It might be well to mention that there is a bunch of boys, not exactly a club, who are organized and have pulled off many social events during the year under the name of F. L. I. P. Active members are: “Tom” Little, “Farmer” Donnelly, “Si” Siebert, “ Frenchie,” “ Fliver” Hawk, “Ossie” Dobbyn, and Harry Core, T6. One beautiful June evening, Lylis McPeek, Icel Huffman, Mabel Potter, Ruth Rose, and Mildred Wheatcraft were sitting in a porch swing talking over the good times they had had together during the preceding spring and winter. Certainly they discovered that there were many things of common interest to them all, so they decided to organize a club. They spent almost the whole evening in choosing a suitable name for so lively a bunch. They finally decided upon “N. O. Sisters” as the name. Since that time, they have all lived up to their name, and expect to do so for the rest of their lives. So be it! In January, 1916, a few Freshmen girls organized a club known as the “H. A. M. Society.’’ The club gave a Hallowe’en party and other social events for the Freshman class. The active members are: Edith Ashbaugh, Evelyn Moran, Evelyn Rinehart, Ida Lowe, Adeline Storts. Irene Allen, Phyllis McDonald, Hazel Holcomb, and Margaret Richards. 52 S. A. S. History After we somewhat overcame our Freshman bashfulness, and were labeled Sophomores in our second year at High School, we began to feel more dignified, so we organized a club, and christened ourselves the J. G. C’s. As this was our first club experience we were the participants of many enjoyable meetings. In the summer of the year, 1914, some unpleasant misunderstandings occurred and the short life of the J. G. C’s. came to an end. But when we again started to school in the fall and began bravely our Junior year, with many hopes, and many plans appearing on the horizon, a new club came to be the S. A. S, This club consisted of the same members as the J. G. C. with the addition of one new member. Claire Maris, who joined us in our Junior year. Several of the most important events which occurred during our Junior year are: the lawn party at the home of Corynne Crossan, a theater party given at the Grand, several weiner roasts, and some important business meetings, w'here our president, Margaret Johnson showed her tact in keeping order by standing over us with an umbrella in each hand. We have now reached the goal of our hearts desire, the senior year, and have indeed passed a wonderful year as Seniors. The most important event of all the year was the “ Senior Party,” given at the home of Margaret Williams by the S. A. S. Club girls. In years to come, may we look back on our happy school days and think of the good times we have had attending club meetings. S. A. S.? S. A. S. We confess We are members Of the S. A.

It is a record that anyone may well be proud of as Lfewg H it attests the loyalty and earnestness displayed by each member of the team under “® - the splendid leadership of the coach, Prof. W. D. Will. Each member was at all times working for the interest of the team and not for personal popularity. The team practiced four nights each week on the Armory Floor, (3:60 P. M. to 5:00 P. M.) and each member was in his place at all practices, or, if not, was always accounted for. And in connection with the practice the team acknowledges and thanks the second team for their aid and assistance in turning out to practice with and against them, as it greatly aided and assisted them in meeting the “Foe.” The combined weight of “The Little Big Six” is only eight hundred pounds—but the spirit, loyalty and determination of the “Six” brought forth the splendid record, proving the oft quoted saying, “In Unity coupled with Determination there is strength.” A total of five games were played on the home floor resulting in three victories and two defeats. The team meeting defeat, when they encountered Shawnee and Athens. Of these defeats it can be truly said, “in such defeats there is no disgrace.” The loyalty of the Hi School was manifest on every occasion save the contest between Athens Hi and the home team, but on this occasion it was humiliating to witness some members of the Hi School cheering for Athens; yet, notwithstanding all this, it was plainly evident to all who witnessed the game, that victory would have crowned the home team had they been able to appear with the regular line up. Thirteen games were played in all, resulting in eight victories and five defeats. Eight of these games were played abroad, in which the home team won five and lost three. The team, altho the smallest in size in its history, rendered a splendid account of its “ Stewardship” considering the high standing of the opposing teams. This record would not be complete without mentioning the splendid conduct of the boys while abroad; the deportment of each reflected credit, not only upon themselves, but to the Hi School as well. The splendid success this year means an excellent team next year, as only one of the team is a Senior, the remainder consists of five Juniors. Therefore, almost united, they will return next year to battle for their final victory in the Hi School Arena. The last and final great was their splendid showing in the Southeastern Ohio Tournament, held at Athens, Ohio, on February 23-24. Sixteen teams from southeastern Ohio competed in this tournament. The home team finishing in third place, Portsmouth Hi receiving first place and Athens Hi second. In the five games played by the home team only three field goals were scored by the forwards of the opposing teams. This was, indeed, a great record and one which fittingly closed the season of 1916-17. 58 Record of Date N.L.H.S. December 15, T6 N.L.H.S. December 22, T6 N.L.H.S. December 29, '19 N.L.H.S.

H. 0 .261 209 Second Basketball Team NOEL SEIBERT “Si” is the Captain of the team and the sturdy center. He knows no such thing as fear and always wades right in. and can rough it up with any of the enemy. But when he appeared in the tournament only two personal fouls were marked against him. He received a place in the honor roll at Athens. “Si” is a Junior and will be with the team as a Senior next year. HAROLD FRENCH At forward “Frenchie” plays an excellent game. He never fails to deliver the goods, he played basketball like he does everything he tackles to win. He led the rest of the team in scoring. He could always be found when one of the other members of the team wanted a man to whom to throw the ball. Harold is a Junior and will do his best for the team next year. HAROLD SANDERS “Sandy” is the right guard on the team and has the reputation of scoring more points than all of his opponents during the entire season. He was chosen Captain by his team mates, but on account of various misfortunes, was forced to give up basketball and he retired from the Captaincy. Much to the approval of the other members he accompanied them to Athens, where he was the real star. He is a Junior and will make a splendid Captain for next year. 60 RUSSELL RICHARDS “Russ” as forward, played his position to a great advantage, but did not get into the first games of the season. “Russ” is small, but this does not handicap him in the least. He is a sure pass and a fine floor man. “Russ” is a Junior and will play the position as forward next year to a great advantage. JOSEPH EDMINSTON “Joe,” as he is familiarly known, is the left guard. He plays a good game and never forgets to battle for the team as a whole. He is very desirous that all display the highest degree of loyalty. His chief characteristic is passing the ball, which always lands. “Joe” is a sophomore and will be with the team for two more years. EUGENE HAMMOND “Gene,” while not in many games, proved that he had the stuff in him. Altho small, fears none, and wades in regardless of the size of his opponent. “Gene” is a country boy and is always where duty calls him and ever willing to do his utmost for the team. Eugene is a Senior and leaves with the love, respect and confidence of all the BOYS. 61 PROF. W. D. WILL “W. D.” has been with us only one year, but has won the respect and confidence of the student body. The success of the team this season was largely due to his untiring efforts in their behalf. Mr. Will, lives in Columbus, and is a graduate of O.S.U. He understands the game of Basketball and was successful in training and uniting the Boys into the “Unity of Action.” It was largely due to his untiring efforts that we secured the Armory as a gymnasium—the same being denied the team the previous year. HENRY WAGNER “ Little Hen,” as he is known by all the boys, is the genial Cheer Leader, and to him is due, in a measure, the splendid success of the team, for when all hope appeared gone the voice of “Little Hen” could be heard above all, and added renewed courage and inspiration to his followers. TOM S. LITTLE “ Tom” is the assistant Cheer Leader and he preformed his task well. His enthusiasm radiates all about him, and unlike “Thomas of Old” he never doubts but has unbounded faith in the team. He is a Senior and leaves school this year with the best wishes of all the Boys. 62 Record of the Track Meet First Place.. Second Place Third Place.

Relay Race, Warren Wolfe, Senior; Ralph Paxton, Senior; Eugene Hammond, Senior; Purl Hammond, Senior 1 min., 59 sec. For the first time in the history of the local Hi School, it had a track meet due to the e'forts of Prof. W. D. Will. Each evening after school, during the month of September, Coach Will could be seen, on the fair grounds, training those, who were to take part in the meet. The Meet was on Wednesday afternoon, October 18th. The following were the successful contestants: Warren Wolfe, three miles; Harold French, half mile; Herbert Tracy, 100-yard dash. The meet was very successful and it is to be hoped that it will become an annual affair in our school. HERBERT TRACY “Herb,” a Sophomore, won the one-hundred-yard dash, thus putting the Sophomores on the honor list. This is Herbert’s second year in High School and proved an easy winner. He entered with the determination and energy that is characteristic of him and with his usual result—Victory. HAROLD FRENCH “Frenchie” never fails, so again he won the Crown on the Athletic field by winning the one-half-mile run, proving the often quoted saying “Victory always crowns the Vigilant.” 64 RALPH PAXTON “Paxton,” one of the winners of the relay race, is a Country Boy and like most country boys succeeds in whatever he attempts. He has been in High School four years and therefore graduates with the Class of T7, WARREN WOLFE Warren was another winner in the relay race. He also took first place in the three-mile race. Warren never fails in duty or task which he undertakes and entering these races, of course, meant Victory to him. EUGENE HAMMOND Gene,” a winner in the relay race, has the honor of being a Senior. Like “Paxton” he is a country boy and has been in High School for the past four years. Eugene never admits defeat and, of course, did not in this case. He is quite active in Athletics, having played several games on the Varsity Basketball Team. 65 H. F. Acker J. M. Gordon E. C.

O. CULLEN COMPANY THE TRIBUNE $1.00 Per Year In Advance Always a Clean, Family Newspaper ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING CALLING CARDS A SPECIALTY OPRACTIC (KI-RO-PRAK-TIK) Chiropractic is a scientific method of adjusting the cause of disease without drugs or instruments, based on a correct knowledge of anatomy, and especially the nervous system. The Chiropractic idea is that the cause of disease is in the person afflicted, and the adjustment in correcting the wrong that is producing it. The function of every organ in the body is controlled by mental impulses from the brain, which it transmits thru the nerves. Any impingement of these nerves interfering with the transmission of mental impulses results in an abnormal function called disease. This interference is produced by subluxated vertebrae pressing upon nerves as they pass out from the spinal cord. The trained Adjuster is able to locate the point of obstruction or interference, and by means of adjusting the subluxated vertebrae corrects the cause, and normal conditions, or health, is the result. This has never been taught in other schools, and has never been practiced by them. GETTING AT THE CAUSE Going directly to the cause of the majority of so-called diseases is the reason of Chiropractic efficiency as a drugless health agent; that is why adjustments benefit you when “treatment methods” fail. All so-called disease is but bodily incoordination. THE CAUSE OF SOME SO-CALLED DISEASE Neck Region Slight subluxations in the neck will cause so-called headaches, eye diseases, deafness, epilepsy, vertigo, insomnia, wry neck, facial paralysis, throat trouble, neuralgia, arm trouble-goitre, nervous prostration, la grippe, etc. Upper Third of Back Bronchitis, felons, rheumatism of arms, hay fever, nervousness, heart disease, asthma, pneumonia, lung troubles, stomach and liver troubles, enlargement of spleen, and a score of other troubles, so-called are caused by sub-laxations in the region of the spine, sometimes so light as to remain unnoticed by others except the trained Chiropractor. Middle of Back So-called gall stones, dyspepsia of upper bowels, fevers, hiccough, worms, kidney diseases, skin diseases, boils, etc., are caused by nerves being pinched in the spinal openings in this region.
