MARY WELLER “A quiet, black-haired lassie.” Mary is a very conscientious and industrious student. Her favorite study is French. She is, as yet, undecided as to what line of work she wishes to pursue in the future. However, she has our wishes. WILLIAM FORAKER “Even though vanquished he could argue still.” His nickname is “Bill.” He has been with us all four years of high school. “Bill” has very high ideals and has attended Culver Military School. He had the honor of being chosen as one of the members of the Student Council. BERNICE ROCKWELL “Only sweet and virtuous souls, ‘Like seasoned timber never gives.” Bernice became a member of our class this year. She has taught school for the past two years. She is very brilliant and has proven a valuable addition to our class. She is Editor-in-Chief for the “Lexingtonian.” Bernice has a word and a smile for everyone. We know she will succeed in anything she attempts to do and has the best wishes of her classmates. 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.

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. She has many friends and is liked by all. She likes to play basketball and she is at the height of her glory when she is on the floor. She has not said just what she expects to do, but may her future be a bright one.

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.
