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.
