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

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

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
