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 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 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
