Vf v. kfkQ,Vo � V .VoVlkO. oxtfooxh OUR aim in the compilation of this book has been threefold: First, we feel that the events of the school year of ’21-22 are of sufficient importance—to us at least—to be placed on record; second, we desire to give to our friends a glimpse of the life and spirit of our school, and, though it is but a mere glimpse, it may help them to understand our “world”; third, we desire a real memento of our last days in N. L. H.—something that will brighten the memories of those happy days, when our thoughts are occupied with the perplexities of the future. For these reasons we have labored hard in the interests of this publication, which we now submit to your judgment.

L. H. S., we will find stored in our hearts a warm and tender remembrance of each of that band of kind, faithful, and efficient friends, to whom we owe our gratitude for their patient and untiring efforts in our behalf. Our Superintendent, Mr. Darnell, who came to us in our senior year, has labored hard to maintain and improve the morale of our schools. He is ever ready to help and advise us, and he has won our respect and admiration. Mr. Hoskinson has been our Principal since we were Sophomores and no one has worked harder for us. The students of N. L. H. S. know to whom to appeal when they need a champion for their rights. He has been the chief faculty adviser of the Annual Staff and its success is largely due to his untiring efforts. We were much pleased to have Mrs. Yaw with us again this year, she is one of us and always welcome to a share in our interests, he they work or play. Much pep and enthusiasm have been displayed in chapel exercises this year, under her leadership. Miss Wyland has been our Commercial teacher for the past three years and her work is commended by all Commercial students. Outside of school she is a jolly companion and much pleasure is added to the crowd when Miss Wyland is with us. Mr. Walbridge is head of the English department and has made even the study of English a delight. He can be a grave, dignified professor or a carefree schoolboy at will. “Wally” is the idol of the II. S. boys. He has worked hard in the interest of athletics and deserves our appreciation. Miss Sinkey is our Mathematics and Social Science instructor. Much of her work is with the Freshmen classes but many of the Seniors will remember her in connection with the class in Sociology where all social problems from the Divorce question to the Contest between Capital and Labor were discussed and solved once for all. Miss Thornhill—we all love her, even when she looks very solemnly at us after an examination, for we know she has only our interests in mind. Miss Thornhill always has a smile and kind word for every one and Modern History is a pleasure when studied under her guidance. We will ever remember Mr. Stinchcomb, “our Jim,” not only as our Language instructor, but as a true friend to every boy and girl. Engaged in every activity of the school he is always busy; yet he is ever ready to attend our individual grievances or desires. Soon after the opening of school last September, we discovered that we were very much in need of another instructor. In consequence, Miss Coffland was added to the faculty number. As instructor in Home Economics, she has added a new feature to our school in the hot noon lunch. Our music instructor, Miss Urquhart, deserves much praise for her work in the Bovs’ and Girls' Glee Clubs and in the plays given by the school. B. E. K. C. DARNELL, B. S., M. A.

He is interested in athletics and plays football and' basketball. Bruce doesn’t lose his enthusiasm even though they do lose the game. He is business manager of the Annual and is very capable in his position. He is always interested in his work or play, so here’s to you, Bruce. ESTHER KING “Those dark eyes—so dark and so deep.” What would we have done without her? She is one of our best students and is a willing worker in high school activities. Esther is a gifted musician and her selections in Chapel are greatly enjoyed. She is also Class Poet and Vice-President of the Class. STANLEY VAN ATTA “On their own merits modest men are dumb.” Stanley is one of the most popular members of our class and an excellent student. He has been efficient in the capacity of the Class Secretary. EUGENE HYNUS “Shy as the squirrel that leaps among the pine tops.” Eugene’s delight is to entertain the ladies, when he becomes very voluble in his discourse. At other times his vocabulary is often limited to a single guttural sound. He is Class Treasurer. JOHN BOWERS “Courteous though coy, and gentle though retired.” “Johnnie,” as we know him, is a very good classmate He is cartoonist for the “Lexingtonian.” We wcn’t say how good they are because we want you to look and judge for yourself. He has talent along several lines, but we haven’t heard his plans for the future. LUCILLE DENNISON “A happy soul that all the way To heaven’s hath a summer’s day.” Lucille is our champion “note-writer.” When not writing notes she talks most of the time which has won for her the disfavor of the teacher. But for all that, we like her because she’s as happy as the day is long. Her sunny smile will win for her a place wherever she may go. EARL BENNETT “What shall I do to be forever known, And make the age to come my own?” As Advertising Manager of the “Lexingtonian,” Earl has worked hard for its success. He is one of our best students and a credit to our class. May future success be yours, Earl. ZELLA RADER “Errors like straws upon the surface flow, He who would search for pearls must dive below.” Zella is among those from Moxie, who wish to be graduated with our most renowned class. Her aim is a college education. May it be realized. MARGARET WILLIAMSON “The lustre in your eye, heaven in your cheeks, Pleads your fair image.” Margaret has attended school in several states and she likes to compare them to our school. She is interested in school and other things. ( ?) ARTHUR SAUNDERS “With graceful steps he walks the street, And smiles at all the ladies sweet.” Art has been with us cnly three years, having spent his first year at the University of Dayton. With the girls, Art is a wizard (?) but we have enjoyed having him with us and feel sure he has a brilliant future. VERONICA McGONAGLE “Like the spring, Fresh and wild and sweet to see.’ Veronica is a sweet, dignified lassie; a great booster of N. L. H. S. basketball games. She seems to enjoy visitors from Crooksville. GLADYS JONES “A very good piece of work, I assure you, and a merry one.” Gladys is very dignified and a member of many clubs, she is also Class Historian. She is planning on going to Ohio University next year. May success go with you, Gladys. NIAL HOLCOMB “Of all our parts the eyes express The sweetest kind of bashfulness.” Nial is a quiet student, who comes from “Moxie.” We welcome him to our class and wish him future success in whatever line of work he may choose. EVELYN CROSSAN “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, like twilight, too, her dusky hair.” “Ev” is the belle of the class, and is one of our star students. We are proud to say she won for us a beautiful banner last year in the Declamation Contest—Yes, first place! She expects to go to college later. JOSEPH ALLEN “Half as sober as a Judge.” Joseph is our star student and has been with us all four years in high school. He is a brilliant civics student and expects to study law after leaving N. L. H. S. We wish him success wherever he may go and whatever he attempts to do.

She is a member of the Staff and capable in her position. ROBERT FEALTY “Great wits are sure to madness near allied And their partitions to their bounds divide.” Bob joined our brilliant class in the Sophomore year. He is the life of our class. What would we do without Bob to relieve the monotony of class by his “quaint” sayings ? He is manager of the football and basketball teams and News Editor of the “Lexingtonian.” KATHRYN DILLER “She locks as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew.” “Dimples” is a good sport. If you want to make her happy ask her if she wants to take a “Dodge sedan” ride. Maybe it isn’t the sedan but the driver. Her best friend is the typewriter. Her plans are unknown. LUCILLE LEE “That caressing and exquisite grace—never bold Ever present—which just a few women possess.” Lucille is a cheery, gray-eyed lassie, who is never seen with-cut a smile on her lips. She likes music and Domestic Science. We are glad to have her as one of our number. ETHEL YARGER “It is a quiet worker that succeeds.” Ethel is a very brilliant student and is completing her high school course with high marks. She is a member of the Staff and is taking active part in putting the “Lexingtonian” across. May success be yours always.

S. but his favorite is in Ohio University. PEARL KENDRICK “Her virtue and the conscience of her worth, That would be wooed and not unsought be won.” Pearl is a jolly, smiling lass who is quite as good as her name indicates.

She is Assistant Editor-in-Chief for the “Lexing-tonian.” Either pots and pans or music, may success be yours, THELMA HOLCOMB “Great feelings hath she of her own Which lesser souls may never know.” Thelma came to us in her Senior year. She is a good student, though very quiet, and has made many friends. She has high and noble ideals for which we value her friendship. RALPH GRANT “Greater men than I have lived. But they have long been dead.” Ralph is another member of our class, coming from Moxie at the beginning of the Senior year. He is not known for his much speaking, but he occasionally gives his opinion in Sociology class. EVELYN YAUGER “But to know her is to love her.” “Ev” is a very good sport and a favorite among her classmates.

RUTH BROWN “But a smooth and steadfast mind, Gentle thoughts and calm desires.” Ruth comes from the country. She is a very quiet girl and tells her thoughts to no one. She has our best wishes in whatever she may, in the future, decide to do. KATHRYN HOLDEN “Rich in saving common sense.” Kathryn is a star basketball player and a member of several clubs. For school spirit she has no parallel She is making her high school course in three years. We haven’t heard of her future but may it be a bright one. OSCAR KETCHUM “He is a very proper man.” Oscar is a country boy and joined our numbers this year from Sayre. He evidently believes that secrets known to more than one, are no secrets at all, for he has told his future plans to no one. VIRA BRAGG “Who ever loved that loved not at first sight.” Vira, too, is from Moxie. Although she was almost a stranger here, she has won a place in the hearts of her classmates. What ever the future may hold for her, we feel certain that we shall always be proud to say, “She was a member of our class.” GERTRUDE HAYDEN “She is as free and natural as the flowers.’ We call her “Hady” for short and she has many friends in N. L. H. S. She played basketball until she was hurt and was forced to stop playing. Her future plans are secret but here’s to you, “Hady.” VENUS PATTERSON “But still her tongue ran on.” “Pat” boosts the Grand Theatre, we wonder why! She is fond of long tiuck rides and midnight feasts. “Pat” expects to go to O. U. this summer and take normal training. ROBERT GAREY “Many of the girls wish he were not so shy.” “Bob” is a favorite among the boys and girls and has been with us all four years at high school. He is one of our stars on the basketball team and we enjoy seeing him play. Bob is our champion piano player when it comes to “Jazz.” He expects to attend Ohio University next year. RUTH SPEAKS “Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air.” Ruth enjoys coming to N. L. H. S. and though she has quite a distance to come, she rarely misses a day. ELIZABETH GIFFORD “Of a golden temper.” “Betty,” as we call her, is another brilliant student in N. L. H. S.

PAULINE RANDOLPH “How small a part of time they share, That are so wondrous sweet and fair.” Pauline is one of the students who came from the country. She can do many things beside her school work. She is a member of the third year Food Club and has won prizes in canning. She is skilled, too, in the manipulations of the Ford. Class |Jcu'nt With fear the muse I invocate, (Milton did it; why not I?) ; That she may be my advocate And long with me herself ally. We were an awful lot when first We hovered ’round our ’sembly door— For fear of getting lost, you know. Like any Freshman class before. We stood as best we could all year The laughs and gibes and cutting snears. With which those upper classmen, wise. Reduced us almost into tears. But then the time soon rolled around And we were knowing Sophomores; And now, the tables neatly turned, It was our turn to laugh in roars. However, soon, we tired of this; Our lives were wretched yet— You ask me why? You don’t know why The Juniors pert a saint would fret. Then we became those Juniors pert And sought us each a saint to fret— Sweet solace from the Senior’s stare Of icy dignity to get. Alas! the goal of youth is reached And we are Seniors, calm and proud, It seems but yesterday that we Were Freshmen meek and cowed. So thus the class of ’22 With mingled laugh and sigh Takes long farewell of old New Lex., With this, our poor and final staff. Here’s to thee, old school! Down through the years To thee we’ll turn. As the merry May appears And brings to light the brightest star In life’s gold crown— THE CLASS of ’22. Esther L. King. Sentnr (Class iljistnru The coming of the Freshmen of 1918 in their early years to N. L. H. S., with all the verdure befitting their stage in high school life, is a memorable event. Their first social affair is a Valentine Party at which the Faculty are guests. The C. A. C. Club makes its appearance through the endeavors of a few Freshmen girls The Freshmen are quite elusive and are good students, learning their lessons well 1919! The students of 1918 are now Sophomores How they have changed! They have even become bold Upon them is bestowed the honor of having one of their fellow classmates win the county vocal solo. Having withstood with little difficulty the solutions of Algebra, the declention of Latin nouns and the congu-gation of Latin verbs, they feel alleviated, but in vain, for Geometry and Caesar are added to their mental absorption. It is during this year that Mr. Crooks, ever patient with their limited intelligence, enters their lives. Juniors in 1920! Almost Seniors. Who will not say they are taking an active part in the career of the school ? A musical comedy, “The Captain of Plymouth,” is given by the Glee Club in which many Juniors participate. “Ev,” of whom the Juniors are proud, has won, for the school, the Declamation Contest I he class officers, Bruce Allen, President: Evelyn Crossan, Vice-President; Eugene Hv-nus, Secretary, and Stanley Van Atta, Treasurer, are elected. At last, in 1921, the dignity and the toga of the sophisticated Senior has been assumed by the students of 1918. They feel that the knowledge, acquired in their previous years, is such that it will suffice them through this year without farther concentration. But Mr. Walhridge, who, since the departure of Mr. Crooks, their former English instructor, has drifted into their lives, tries to convince them otherwise but his attempts are futile. At a class-meeting officers are elected again : Bruce Allen, President: Esther King, Vice-President; Eugene Hynus, Treasurer, and Stanley Van Atta. Secretary. Class colors, black and white: Class motto, “Not Evening Put Dawn,” are selected. It is to be hoped that the close of this period of the life of students of 1922 is not “the evening but the dawn” of their virtue; that their unspeakable desires will at last find expression; and that the prey that is unhoped for and distant will seem henceforth tangible.

Last year, after my rich uncle had died, the estate was settled up and the money settled down in my pocket, and, I having led a life of privation, poverty and suffering, decided to go on a tour and see how the other half of the world lived. Every true-hearted American, until he has seen Paris, is: so naturally, my first stop was there. Upon my arrival, I was ambling leisurely down the Boulevard and some playful chap caught my ankle in the crook of a cane and ruined what I considered a perfectly wonderful three-dollar hat. My suspicions as to the identity of the stranger were confirmed. Bruce Allen, Class President way back in ’22, came up and explained that he was sorry but that the cane just simply wouldn’t behave. He is arbiter of the world’s fashions and upon his invitation we strolled down to his fashion shop so that he could introduce me to some of his models. The first person I saw was Bernice Elswick, Bruce’s present wife; Kate Diller, his private secretary; Evelyn Yauger, bright and rising cashier; and Gertrude Hayden, the leading model of Paris. “Feet,” always a bright chap, suggested a little party and the rest of us gladly acquiesced, because, as Pussyfoot hasn’t gone to France yet, the wets still reign (rain). During the natural course of the evening, we took in a show and it seemed as if the call to Paris had reached the ears of many more of the class of ’22. On the stage we were able to discern two of our members—one, a singer of no little fame, Pearl Kendrick, and the other Gladys Jones, a ballet dancer of unparalleled merit. Suddenly “Hady” burst out in a new place and ejaculated the single word, “Gee!” The Count De Change and his party were pointed out to us in the opposite box. The Count’s name, before he adopted a new one, was just plain Bill Foraker. Matrimony got him, and the Countess, Vira Bragg, was with him. Another, a noted member of the police force, none other than the redoubtable Bob Fealty, is hot on the trail of John Bowers and his accomplice, Oscar Ketchum, who are accused of bootlegging. Being unable to attract their attention, we saw no more of them. My wanderings took me next to Petrograd, the land of the Bolsheviks and polar bears. The train, a miserable ramshackle affair, on the order of the B. O., was nearing one of its destinations and my attention was attracted by the position of the sun. “Must be about noon,” I murmured, and a cheery voice directly behind me, “It is.” “Mary Weller, as I live, and Thelma Holcomb.” My astonishment was unsurpassed. ,A few moments later a musical voice heralded the passing of dinner and Zella Rader came walking up the aisle. Petrograd lay before us and dinner was my objective. The best restaurant in town was piloted by a naturalized Russian, Herman Thompson, so of course I found myself patronizing home industry. His head waitress, Margaret Williamson, brought me a bowl of the same kind of soup that Lennie and Trotsky have thrived on for years After a short stay in the Russian capitol, I again boarded the trick train and after a series of bumps, jars, concussions, jerks and jumps, I found myself in the heat of Monte Carlo. The Casino was, of course, my first stop and the owner, a short, florid man, came puffing up to me and emitted one single, affable grunt; it was Eugene Hynus in person. Over his shoulder I saw an enormous back and a sonorous voice sounded mournfully, “Come seven, tiger dice, claw me.” Joe Allen, apparently unsuccessful in his latest effort, turned despairingly around and muttered, “If I were as lucky as Earl Bennett and Nial Holcomb I’d never leave this place. Guess I'll go back to court and judge a few more cases.” I soon tired of the prize gambling concessions so I bade goodbye to the populace and soon sped merrily on my way to Arabia, the land of caravans and fig leaves. I saw Bob Garey from the train window and a few rods distant was Art Saunders engaged in his manful pursuit of hunting dates. Walking down the main street of Mecca, I spied a sign which read, “American Missionary Relief.” Seeking conversation with some one of my tongue I entered and the leader, Esther King, showed me the honor roll of that particular society and there were six of our classmates whose names were inscribed thereon : Lucille Lee, Lucille Dennison, Pauline Randolph, Elizabeth Gifford, Kathryn Holden and Ralph Grant. My mind greatly relieved at having talked to some one that didn't sound like a concert of hyenas in a zoo, I boarded something that looked like a cross between our city hack and a cloud of dust and it seemed many months later that I was able to board a boat to go to Tokio. There I found Ethel Yar-ger on a lecture tour and Stanley Van Atta playing his saxaphone in the Mikado’s orchestra. As there is nothing to see in Tokio except eyes, lotus blossoms and jinrikishas, I soon tired of it all and, homesick, I boarded a boat bounded for San Francisco. The people of that city were all ajoy over the arrival of Bernice Rockwell, a charming debutante, and her chum in their imported car; but being so near home, nothing of the kind could interest me. Ev. Crossan and her lifelong chum, Veronica McGonagle, were respectively united in the holy bonds of matrimony but they couldn’t give up their life’s work so they are still matrons of the Granga County Children’s Home.

In the year 1919 we, who are now Juniors, arrived at N. L. H. S. Because we wrere Freshmen, very little was expected of 11s; but they were soon forced to take notice, because we proved to be one of the brightest, best-looking and most capable classes ever known to N. L. H. S. An elaborate wiener roast was our first social attempt and after that many other good times were enjoyed. We were forced to stand in chapel and in addition to this indignity had to show our skill in singing the High School song, hut proved equal to every occasion. CANTO II. Vacation soon rolled past and in September, 1920, we came back full of determination to make better, if possible, our place in the school and to really show that we knew how to win. All through the year we showed great skill in translating Caesar, gave our undivided attention to Geometry, and labored long and hard at Bookkeeping. We were successful in many things—two of our girls proved to be the champion spellers of the county, two of our members gave their knowledge to the debating cause, and we were fortunate enough to be able to give more athletes for the county track meet than any other class. As a body, we felt that we should have been admitted into the Junior ranks long before the Sophomore sentence was served. CANTO III. Juniors! How the very name tells of our dignity and high position. The first thing of importance was the organization of our class: George Schofield was elected President, Frank Joseph, Vice-President; Melda Farnsworth, Secretary, and Leo Nash, Treasurer. To promote friendly feeling and to give aid financially, the Sophomore and Junior classes enjoyed a banquet at the K. of C. hall. During the year several clubs were formed, as the Girls' L. L. and Theta Theta Clubs, and the Boys’ “Kappa Omricorn Alpha ’ organized by a group of spirited fellows who wished to promote school spirit and break up pool room congregations. English Literature seemed to he every Junior’s pet hobby and Mr. Walhridge was very proud of the fact. We followed Miss ” hornhill with great interest through the deep mysteries of M. M. History. Although it has been said there was not a good looking boy in the Junior class, we feel that they have the ability and will not permit any one “to run over” them. We are beginning to realize that ere long we must assume the dignity of the Seniors, since we have passed our last preparatory stage. Agnus McGonagle. Paui, Gatchel.

Many of our class members have accomplished remarkable things although we have but space enough for a few: Clyde Kintz came to us this year and was made President of the class.

Our noted Sophomore football players are: Norris Elswick, Lawrence Chappelear, Lester Lowe and John Wagner. Although few have been remarked upon, the entire class has wonderful talent. The Sophomore class wishes to return next year and express their talent even more than in the preceding year. We also hope to keep our pep in athletics in the year of 1923, as we were 100% in the years of 1920 and 1921. Ida MoorK.

L. H. S. as Freshmen; with visions of becoming future presidents, farmers, architects, or housewives. Of course, for the first few days all was confusion and we made the blunders and mistakes common to all Freshmen, but we soon overcame these, however, and entered heartily into high sch xvl life. We have been so busy contending with the various studies, especially those bug-bears. Algebra and Latin, that as a class we have not done much socially. Early in the year we had a weiner roast at the home of Gladys Nader, and various parties have been given among the students. We have quite a bit of talent in our class and have contributed much to chapel exercises. While every member of the class deserves some mention as having helped in the up-building of class and school, only a few names can be placed in the history. Thomas Ackerman, the Freshman representative in football; Floyd Thompson, the class reporter to the “Periscope ; Helen Gray, a clever cartoonist, who shows promise of becoming a great sketch artist; John Sheeran, capable of translating any Latin sentence or solving any Algebra problem that migh fall his lot ( ?). and George Elmer Kelley, remembered for his off-hand definitions in Science Class. Truly, the class has a bright future. We hope to survive the Freshman studies and return next year full-fledged Sophomores. Mary Irene Bennett.

Evelyn Crossan, ’22. •llama (6ata This highly intellectual organization was formed by the class of ’21 as a moral and physical uplift for N. L. H. S. It has been continued by the class of '22, as worthy successors of past members. The members of this high-minded and noble group of crusaders know their influence over the other children of the High School. The present members are: R. Mike Fealty, Les Lowe, Brainy Bowers, Sheenie Thompson, W. Va. Ackerman, J. Matches Matthews, B. Feet Allen, Jimmie Stinchcomb and C. F. N. Walbridge. Our officers are: R. Mike Fealty, High Mogul; B. Feet Allen, Low Mogul; Les Lowe, Khoyne Kharryer; J. Matthews, Kee Rhyng. Two of our beloved members, Hub Kelh and Hooker Renner, have deserted us to join the colors of their country. Oh, noble youths! We were well represented in athletics: Lowe; Ackerman, Matthews and Captain Allen were the backbone and brains of the varsity football squad. In basketball, Capt. Matthews. Allen and Thompson were on the team, but, owing to conditions not made public, were unable to display their merits. The business enterprises were shouldered by C. F. N. Walbridge and R. Mike Fealty. Jimmie Stinchcomb is the boy we take our troubles to. We are unable to attribute the success of athletics to the Yama Gata alone, but to our beloved coaches. Pray be seated, the curtain has fell.” R. Mike. B. Feet. The “Theta Theta, for that is our name, has the honor of being the only girls’ cluh in X. L. H. S. hearing a Greek letter title. We were organized under our present name in the year of ’20. All of the girls are of the class of ’23 except “Sib.’’ who was graduated in ’21. Yet she is one of us, in school or out. Although you will not see her picture here, yet her presence is with us always We are a jolly hunch and enjoy ourselves wherever we Some of us are the daughters of Venus, while the rest are daughters of Minerva. But we are all followers of the Three Graces. We are interesting, you must confess, and you will always find 11s represented in everything. We love our school and our teachers and never think of the days when we must leave them, without a shudder. We are noted for our foolishness, but each of us has her whim. X’ilia's is drawing; Evelyn’s, French; Alice is fond of dancing, while Virginia is our dictionary; Verna is our blushing blonde and very fond of Art—however, to a restricted sense. Sylvia is our patient little school-marm. Sue’s main interest is athletics and school spirit. She is the Juniors’ lepresentative on the Advisory Board. Nelle is our blonde whose favorites are curls, Eng. Lit. and cakes. “Nelle.” pap pa (Omrtamt JMpha The Kappa Omricorn Alpha Club was originated by a group of fellows carefully selected from the Junior and Sophomore classes. We realized that what we vitally needed was an organization to promote the interests of the school and our own interests, working together and each helping the other fellow. Our name was taken from a noted Greek book and from it we get most of our rules, our motto and our high aspirations. The following charter members were started along our successful path: President, George Schofield; Secretary, Corwin Cookson: Treasurer, Clyde Kintz; Sergeant-at-Arms, Paul Gatchel: Frank Joseph, Thomas Paskell, Robert Kelso, Lawrence Chappelear and Leo Nash Since the recent resignation of Cookson, Nash has been chosen Secretary. John Wagner was elected as our first Prep and when apprised of the fact he was highly elated that the honor had been bestowed upon him and performed his duties in an admirable manner. He was graduated from this inevitable position and was succeeded by Charles Davie and William Andrews who were very grateful that the honor of being a knight of the broom and dust-pan had been their fortunate lot. Paul, Gatchel. ? Club Eight members constitute this ? Club. We are rather a mysterious bunch to the public, nevertheless WE understand.

Beginning with the campaign for funds ■which was conducted by the “Bookworms” of last year, and ending with the installation of the books in their commodious new home, the administration of this Committee lias affected permanent improvements. The Library is now comfortably housed, neatly arranged and com pletely catalogued. The Library will, for years to come, acknowledge a great debt to the presen!

Frank Paskell and Pearl Kendrick. “Giffy.” (Classical Club On Jan. 25, Mr. Stinchcomb “let 11s in on” an idea he claimed to have been harboring for some time, that of forming a “Classical Club.” (“Us” is, of course, the Virgil class). And we. being very interested in all tilings classical, enthusiastically agreed that it was a “great idea. So, under his direction, the club was formed with Veronica McGonagle as temporary chairman. Ester King was elected temporary President, and Agnes McGonagle temporary Secretary-Treasurer, until we should have adopted a constitution and conformed to the requirements stated therein. The Constitution Committee, composed of Earl Bennett, Evelyn Crossan and John Wag- ner, with Mr. Stinchcomb's help, formed such a document. The purpose of the club is to further the study of classical literature, present Latin plays, etc. Membership is confined to students making high marks in Latin or Ancient History, and others interested in the classics. We have organized this in the hope that it will remain a permanent organization in N. I,. H. S. Evelyn Crossan, ’22. Literary j oacites Two literary societies were organized on February 3, 1922, in conformance to the new State law regarding such organizations in the high school. The purpose being to give programs for the entertainment and benefit of the High School, and to promote public speaking and other forms of literary work The Philamathean Literary Society was organized under the direction of Mr. Stinchcomb, the following officers being elected: Thomas F. Paskell. President; Evelyn Crossan, Secretary; Program Committee, Virginia Plaisted, Frank Joseph, Nellie Spurgeon; Constitution Committee, Eleanor Selby, Pauline Robinson, William Foraker. The Rhodesian Literary Society was organized under the direction of Mr. Hoskinson. Officers were elected as follows: President, Veronica McGonagle: Vice-President.

(Dtc •jJiTtsrnpi' A new department in school journalism has been the publication of the Periscope this year. The high cost of printing and materials caused its suspension two years ago, but through the kindness of the New Lexington Tribune it has been revived. A half page of the Tribune each week is devoted to school activities and issued under the management of the Periscope staff. Paul Gatchel is editing these issues, with the following staff of assistants: Virginia Plais- ted, John Wagner, Neil Diamond, Helen Schofield, Leo Nash, Kathryn Holden, Ruth Bullock and Floyd Thompson. Mr. Stinchcomb and Mrs. Yaw are the Faculty advisers. Although highly appreciating this opportunity of publishing a school paper, we all look forward to the day when the High School can again publish its own periodical.

Advisory Board members worked long and hard to uphold the traditions of X. L. H. S. Our President, Bruce Allen, has been with the A. A. since its infancy. Starling Marlowe, Vice-President, joined the officers this year. The outlook for Athletics next year is very-bright, under the leadership of Marlowe. Clyde Kintz, Secretary-Treasurer, has handled our money in a manner second only to J. P. Morgan. The members from the three classes, Evelyn yauger. Senior; Sue Teal. Junior, and Arthur Wagner, Sophomore, have shown their ability to promote any enterprise that would benefit the members. Robert Fealty, our Business Manager, has proved to be a very capable manager and finan cial backer for the A. A. Bob, with his never-give-up spirit, with the help of several loyal members, put through tag days, refreshment stands and many other methods to raise money to ecpiip the teams of X. L. H. S . Much of the athletic success is due to the never-breaking patience of Prof. C. F. N. Wal-bridge. Faculty Advisor. Prof. Walbridge is always smiling and his advice for the coming Board members is “Work” pure unrefined. We, as the memliers of the A. A., wish to assure the officers and members of this organization that we appreciate the work and fine spirit shown in their fight to boost X. L. H. S. “Feet” Allen. Football J Upon gazing back over the interesting months between now and the 1921 football season, we recollect one of the best in N. L. H. S. history. To our coach. Rev. E. E. Spoehr, may be attributed the large part of our success, and we here take occasion to thank him for the patience and good spirit he displayed in the face of numerous difficulties. We were not fortunate enough to have an exceptionally large squad; in fact, we experienced no little difficulty in obtaining two complete teams for scrimmage. Our treasury was sadly depleated and prices of football material, at the outset of the season, were almost prohibitive. But things like these were as nothing to be surmounted by the students and we proceeded to turn out a football team of unparalleled merit and grit. Our season opened at home. Liberty Union, an ancient foe, came down and after a hard fought game, departed with the large end of a 13 to o score. Our team was sadly misplaced, having had only two weeks' practice to round it into shape. The men played splendidly and fought till the final whistle was sounded: but lack of practice was the ultimate cause of our downfall. The next week found us working, early and late, in preparation for the game on Saturday with Athens. We found “Doug Torrence’s Athenians too much for us, and returned to our home town the next morning, not the least disheartened but badly defeated 81 to 7. We gained no little experience in the great conflict and we feel that we did well in scoring on such a good team. The next week brought New Straitsville to our lair. They had a number of well trained men, but superior coaching asserted itself and the Black and Gold nosed out with a large score of 73 to o. Good playing was predominant and after our two previous defeats a victory served greatly to hearten us for the coming game with Chauncey, a new-found foe. Joy was rampant after such a decisive victory as the one of a week before and the initial whistle of the Chauncey game found a large ctowd of townspeople to witness the fray. Ackerman seemed to he endowed with the virtuous faculty of scoring touchdowns, and Marlowe found his eye at goal kicking. The game ended 21 to o in favor of old New Lex. The folic, wing snake dance was the only way the people were able to give vent to their enthusiasm. The next week-end heralded no events pertaining to football, but the team was practicing until nightfall every night in preparation for the return game, a week hence, with Liberty Union. Our confidence seemed to reign supreme in the caps of our enemy, for they had defeated us in the first game of the season and they naturally supposed that they had improved with age the same as we do. But this, time told, and Marlowe’s accurate goal kick saved the day, New Lex. was again victorious by the close score of 7 to 6. A great, jubilant throng greeted us on our arrival in town and the members of the team were treated, for a few hours, as conquering heroes. A downpour of rain greeted us the day l e-fore our next game at Crooksville and for a time things assumed a drab aspect but word was received from Crooksville that the field would be in shape for the coming fray. On an inundated gridiron, Crooksville and New Lexington played a 6 to 6 tie. The game was featured by Ackerman’s 70-yard run, which would have been a touchdown had it been a dry field, but the mixture of mud made running nothing short of an impossibility. Just before the game, in practice, our coach, to whom much credit is due, broke his leg and the team was accompanied by William Johnson, a player of no little merit but not the born leader of men that was our regular coach. However, he handled the team in an enviable manner and much credit is due to him for his painstaking efforts. The last game of the season, scheduled for Thanksgiving Day but postponed on account of the moist atmosphere and earth, was finally played on December 2nd. Four of our regular men were out and things took on a gloomy appearance. The game started with much speed—New Lexington immediately pushing Crooksville behind her goal line for two points, but circumstances were altered and the game ended 12 to 2. We honestly feel that a much different story could be told here of the last game, had not circumstances been so adverse in our case, but it is not our intention to bewail the turn of fate and we anxiously await the 1922 season. With the absence of only five letter men, we feel that a more successful season should result in the coming years and we look forward, with patient expectation, to the time when New Lex. Hi’s football team will be a factor to be feared by her worthy opponents. Lauris Matthews, ’22. 5 r. X.

New Lexington High School was first with 108 points and her nearest rival was Somerset with 52 points. Somerset won last year, beating New Lexington by 15 points. Revenge is sweet Starling Marlowe, our captain, was an all around man, winning honors in all of the many events in which he was entered. His close second was Francis B. Nash, who won first honors in both the two-twenty and the hundred-yard dashes. He bids fair to parallel many records Other members of the team were: Charles Davis, shot put; William Foraker, jumper; Floyd Koehler, jumper; Leo Nash, relay run- ner; Edgar Littlefield, runner; Eugene Hynus, jumper; Edward Young, jumper; Allen Koonts, chinner; Jack Furgtieson, chinner; Hiriam Paxton, runner; Evelyn Yauger, thrower; Rebecca Yauger, runner; Kathryn Holden, walker; Bess McAllister, runner: Ida Moore, walker and runner, and Gertrude Hayden, runner and walker. Rebecca Yauger was the particular star for the girls. The school, winning the meet three years in succession, becomes the permanent possessor of the cup. New Lexington bids fair to be a strong contender for the much desired possession, under the direction of Prof. Hoskin-son. Lauris Matthews. Bruce Allen. GRADE TRACK TEAM HI21 (bvaiU' (Track Scant Tile Grade Track Team was a great help to the schools in winning the County Track Meet. They scored 45 of the 108 points.
