New Lexington High School - Lexingtonian Yearbook (New Lexington, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 126 of the 1923 volume:

• ' f Dedication This book is gratefully dedicated to Mr. James Stinchcomb. For three years of our high school career, Mr. Stinchcomb was our constant guide and counsellor, both within the class room and without. He left us in our last year to take a position in the schools of Louisville, Kentucky. Altho he is not with us this year, we of the class of 1924, feel that in dedicating this volume to him, we are only in part repaying him for his generous help and interest; we can never fully repay him. We wish him the best success in all his undertakings, and feel ourselves fortunate in having had him as one of our faculty.

[ 4 ] xing toman In Appreciation For three years Mr. Walbridge has been with us in the capacity of, first, our English teacher; then, our Latin and French teacher. He has shown a lively interest not only in classes, (remember the “torture chamber”) but in all outside activities and those things which occupy our interest outside of school hours. Mr. Walbridge coached the debate teams for two years, the orator this year, and assisted us in our dramatic club, and above all personally supervised the production of this annual. He has always been willing to sacrifice his own time for us, and it is in recognition of this close personal interest that we devote this page to him.

I 7 J gxmg Ionian NEW LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Here is reproduced the picture of the nursery of our ambitions. It is only a plain brick building, seemingly no different from any other building, but how different to us—the members of the class of ’24! It is here that we have spent the best part of our lives, our first youth, when all looks golden to us as we stand on the brow of the hill that leads us on to our unknown futures. We can never forget the old place with its crowds of memories and pleasant associations, and in years to come when the cares of life give us respite, we shall turn again to this building and in our memories seek to renew old friendships, strengthen existing ones and gain the desire to form new ones; for our sojourn here has taught us that “Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel” is about the best advice after all.

What would it be without them! Grouchy one day, all smiles the next, unreasonable part of the time, and like angels at others! Yet we realize that back of it all there stands the human being, subject to all the distempers of humanity and hence to be borne with. There is the big test—are you human? And not one of our Faculty has been found wanting. Now there’s Miss Wyland, with us all four years of our spasmodic career. Has she ever lost hope, or given us up as worthless? Not once! And we shall always remember with appreciation that helping hand held out with the utmost generosity. Next in line is Wallie—words almost fail us here; for Wallie’s helping hand has generally been most severe; but now that it is over we see that he didn’t mean it, he was thinking not of popularity, but as he says, “Brains are at a premium in this world, and work never hurt anyone.” And we who have survived realize now what he meant and are grateful. And jolly Tom Morgan has been worth much to us. Shall we soon forget that merry twinkle in his eyes or that “hard-boiled” look? Or that personal interest in individuals that means so much to the discouraged pupil? Miss Weiser knows us as well as Tom, and has helped us over many a bump by her originality. Has anyone ever studied American Government in a more interesting manner than have we in her classes this year? And those delectable lunches! Doggie! The last of the teachers who have been with us for two years is Miss Nicholson. We understand that she is interested in the diplomatic service, and we feel sure that if she is as diplomatic in this as she has been in managing her classes she will soon be the Ambassador to England. We are for you, Miss Nicholson. We were slightly worried when we saw so many new teachers—Misses Stinchcomb, Van Atta, Boyle, and Mrs. Wiggms; but worry soon gave place to satisfaction, for who could be more sympathetic and helpful than they! Yet we remember that we stepped when they looked! As Sam Wickersham says, “There was no tomfoolery!” Last, but not least, there are Mr. Darnell and Mr. Higley. Mr. Darnell may not think that we understand his efforts to civilize such a group of young barbarians, but we do, and perhaps we treasure much more of his counsel than he dreams of. We are sure that some day he will be proud of us, and will recognize the fruit of his own teaching. Mr. Higley came to us a stranger this year, but always rational he soon won our respect and we would bet on him any day in the year, now. And so, our friends the Faculty, thus we shall remember you, and altho new cares and duties may cause you to forget us, remember that we shall always remember you as our friends and counsellors in those trying but golden years of high school.

We nearly swept them off their feet, The Freshman class was hard to beat. Soon we were Sophomores, blithe and gay, Our Freshman worries had all passed; Toward success sped on our way, Destined never to be outclassed. If firm, you’re sure to gain the day, And firmness helps you on your way. Juniors! Our thoughts began to soar, For we knew well, that just beyond There was just one more step before Our goal be reached, success be won. But still we felt more dignified, We were to Seniors, close allied. Three years completed in our work, They guard us with a watchful eye; We neither frown nor do we shirk, Whene’er a Senior passes by. ’Tis smiles that make the world go ’round, Among wise heads, these smiles are found. The Senior stage has rolled around, The step well worth the praise is near; To future aims, we shall be bound And bid adieu our Senior year. Now it’s our duty to repay Those who have helped us on our way. To us it seems but one great dream Since we had gathered at the door, We’ll soon sail on life’s golden stream To gain success, defeat ignore. ’Neath sunny skies, we’ll bid good-bye Our Alma Mater-New Lex. Hi. And the Class of ’24 —ALINE HARRISON. L 26 ] Senior Class Will We, the members of the Senior Class of 1924, New Lexington High School, Perry County, State of Ohio, being of sound and disposing minds and memories, mindful of the uncertainty of longer continuance in this sanitorium for the treatment of ignorance; do make and declare this our last will and testament, for the purpose of disposing of all our chattels, opportunities, and advantages, and bequeathing our cares, responsibilities and burdens unto our successors, and to that end, do collectively and solemnly give, devise and bequeath the same, as follows, to-wit: ITEM I—We bequeath our memories, to each succeeding class passing through these portals into a life of strife. May they recall the class of ’24 with fondest memories! ITEM II—To the Juniors, we bequeath the exclusive right to become next year’s Seniors (providing they pass the examinations) and the power and authority that goes with the aforesaid title. ITEM III—To the Sophomore class we bequeath the exclusive right to abuse the Freshmen and we hope they will perform their duty conscientiously. ITEM IV—To the Freshmen we bequeath our “Caesar”, reserving only therefrom his Gaul, which, being divided into three parts, remains forever as the sole property of Mary Green, Dominic Saunders, and Maude Burril, share and share alike. ITEM V—To the incoming Freshmen we bequeath a cradle, that they may not be inconvenienced by changing from the comforts of home to the activities of school. May they rest peacefully therein. ITEM VI—To our Janitors, we bequeath all chewing gum which they may find in desks previously occupied by us. We also hope that to them their keys may be as those of St. Peter. ITEM VII—To our beloved faculty “marms” we bequeath such rompers as would correspond with their bobbed hair. And to those who have not yet had their locks shorn, we bequeath the courage to proceed at once to the tonsorial parlors. ITEM VIII—To Tom Morgan, for use m future years, we bequeath one baby carriage, latest model, with four wheel brakes and balloon tires.

[ 27 ] Senior Class History Ancient History Our Freshman year was similar to all other Freshmen years that have come and gone in New Lex. Hi. But it cannot be said of us, as it has been said of all others, that we were green; for indeed we were not any greener then than we are now. Mr. Way our superintendent believed in the old saying, “Spare the rod and spoil the child,” if any proof is needed ask Neil Diamond. He tried this method to make us see the valuable time we were wasting, but of no avail and we haven’t changed much yet. But, misery loves company, and since we were as energetic about studying as our fellow classmen a few years ahead of us, and were so quick to catch on to their cue of getting through without causing a nervous breakdown, we were taken into their circle of school activities. Tommy Catchpole received the position of Athletic Association Secretary and Rebecca Yauger could challenge any Senior girl as a basketball star. Mediaeval History In 1922, no one having died from overwork contracted during the previous year, fifty-four students, sophisticated sophomores, assembled for the second time in its history in the vast halls of New Lex. Hi. A new face confronted us, with stern professor-like look, piercing eyes which with one look wilted us if we did not know the principal parts of see, lie and be, etc. Who? Only Wally now. That year we gained more publicity than ever, even giving to the world two great debaters, who lost, nevertheless were game, not blaming them for it all, John Wagner and Neil Diamond. We also entered society. We gave a party in honor of the Juniors which was a great success, and Aline Harrison won the prize for card shark. We thought we had lost Ruth Bullock, but she returned from Saint Aloysius at Christmas, after deciding she could stay away from “Chappie” no longer. Modern History We were still 54 in 1923. This brought to us a new face, a girl who has helped bring many of the honors which we have gained, Mabel Hummel. She was liked by all students, especially redheaded ones. We didn’t know what her line was. (We don’t yet, but Johnny Wagner might be able to give some information at the present time, March 4, 1924). From our class was chosen three of the debaters, John C. WTagner, Mabel C. Hummel, and Madolyn X. Underwood. John Sebastian Wagner, our modern Cicero, won third place in the Oratory Contest, only studying between dances at the Easter Dance. We organized our class early, electing William Arthur Wagner, president; Mabel C. Hummel, secretary; Thomas Catchpole, vice president, and John Furgason, treasurer. By the foresight of our President we got our pins, thus doing something that no class had thot of, also making the Seniors mad, but what did we care ? We would soon be Seniors ourselves. American History. For the fourth and last time we the Seniors of ’24 have gathered in the halls of New Lex. Hi. Realizing that this is our last year we have tried to make it our most successful. We have been working since Christmas on the Annual. With Mabel Hummel as Editor, it is expected to be the best ever printed in the annals of New Lex. Hi. Our new English teacher, Miss Stinch-comb, found some talent in the Seniors that no other teacher was able to discover; and as a result organized the dramatic club with the aid of Mr. Walbridge. The club is another great success of the Senior class. Both debate teams were made up of seniors: Mabel Hummel, John Wagner, Neil Diamond and Lawrence Chappelear as alternate on the affirmative; Dolores Doughty, Arthur Rankin, Samuel Wickersham and Edgar Littlefield as alternate on the negative. [ 28 ] Igxmqtoman Even the orator for this year is a Senior, John Wagner. He carried away second honors this year thus making the Seniors noted for their public speaking. The Seniors are all-around students, for those not starring in public speaking, debating, or the stage, starred in Athletics. Our basketball stars were: Lester Lowe, Art Rankin, Allen Koonts, Norris Elswick, Bill O’Hare and Tommy Catchpole. The same men were football men, except Les. Lowe, plus Percy McGarvey, Arthur Wagner, Lawrence Chap- pelear, Cletus Appleman, Carl Stalter and Bob McGreevey. New Lex. won the cup in football this year, which would have been impossible without the men named above. To you whom I have not mentioned, feel not slighted; for without you and your help we could not have gotten along. So the class of ’24, as a whole, bids a last adieu to New Lex. Hi. DOLORES DOUGHTY. [ 29 ] Prophecy In the twentieth century came the word of this prophecy unto me, saying, the world is becoming more scientific and increasing in knowledge as the years roll by. Therefore, these names listed herein shall prosper by the experience gained while in N. L. H. S., and to them there shall be no weariness of years for they shall accomplish that which they have set themselves to do. There came unto me in the stillness of the night, the Muse, whose hair was silvery threads, and his brow as white as snow. He spoke unto me saying, “Come with me and I will show you many things which have come to pass.” I followed his instructions, and he carried me away over the calm sea to Cadiz on the coast of Spain. There I was led through what they called the main thoroughfare to a restaurant managed by Henry McDonald, a former schoolmate of mine. On entering I was informed that Elsie Hankison and Eliza Jones were chief cooks and waitresses. Hardly had these words been spoken when they appeared in the doorway. I was so delighted to find someone from my own home town, that “eats” no longer interested me. I wished only the time to talk to them but the Muse was hastening on, and for fear of e-etting lost in this strange land, I had to do likewise. I was then taken to Madrid, the capital of Spain. In one of the magnificent streets, I saw a procession headed by two guards of honor whom I recognized as Lester Lowe and Norris Elswick. former privates in the National Guards. I inquired what all this meant and was told that on this day, Rose Brown and Edward Young, rich residents of my town, were united in marriage. The wedding was such an elaborate affair that guards and horsemen were necessary to complete the event. The united couple rode in a fine plush carriage drawn by four stately white steeds driven by Cletus Appleman, who felt highly honored. Everything was so lovely that perfumes and flowers couldn’t compare. I wished to offer my congratulations but was unable to get their attention, which no doubt was turned to their life in future. The Muse led me to a famous fashion and dressmaking department where I saw Gladys Wilson. Callie Stansberry and Velma Stol-berg designing patterns for the latest ball and party dresses. Their finished work was so dainty and fairy-like that I could hardly believe it was real. It seemed as tho’ no one but fairies could make anything half so beautiful. As I turned around and looked through the window, I caught sight of a manly figure, whom the Muse called Randolph Wilson. This gentleman was hurrying to meet his partner, Byron Kaufman, who was on his way to their Ford Repairing Garage. When I came out of the store, I went up one of the side streets, and there noticed a sign swinging from one of the buildings which read, “Noon Hillis, Barbering and Shoe-shining Shop.” These names seemed familiar, and I learned that the men had once lived in New Lexington and had gone to Madrid to practice their cultured art. Going farther up this street I came to a newly constructed department building, which later was to become the offices of Earl Howerth, insurance agent, Wagner Wagner attorneys, and Allen Koontz, editor of Blanco Y Negro. At last reaching the main street again, I followed it to the “Throne of the Spanish Rulers.” There to my surprise I saw Neil Diamond and Dolores Doughty, King and Queen, ruling the commoners. In their service, I recognized as butler, Kenneth Stevens, and as valet, Thomas Catchpole, both dressed in rich costumes of velvet and gilt buttons. From here, I was hurried to the Spanish Educational School where I found Robert McGreevy, as superintendent, and Bess Mc-Collister and Enid Berg, two experienced instructors, attempting to teach French and Latin to a group of boys and girls. I do not think they were having much success by the expression on the pallid faces of those they were questioning. I recognized one studious pupil as Samuel Wickersham still struggling to learn “Je me leve” and “Je m’assieds.” On leaving this public institution I heard some one calling “Bull Fight this afternoon at 2:30. Don’t miss it.” I, being always interested in daring events, hastened to the Arena, and on entering found everyone talking and chattering together. To me, it sounded just like a bumble-bee’s nest, at 'east, that is what it would be called in America. I had hardly seated myself comfortably [ 30 ] W- Lgxmc Ionian when the noise ceased, and I recognized Val Cooper, the Matador, arrayed in costly sheen and gaudy cloak, standing in the center of the ring, ready to attack the bull and show his remarkable strength. During the intermission we were entertained by Bill Clarke, famous and well known comedian, who had the ability to make the sad laugh. While gazing around I observed two stylish young ladies seated near me. On inquiring their names I learned they were Ida Moore and Lucille Hickman, two “society belles” who had come to see this foreign land and spend some of their extra savings. After the combat, I went to the art gallery which was not far away. This was the most magnificent building I had ever seen. Some American architect had made the plans and constructed it, and I was indeed surprised to learn it was all done by the skilled hands of Clarence McGarvey, an old school friend. However the interior was almost equal to the exterior. For on the walls hung beautiful portraits and oil paintings, the work of the genius, Edgar Littlefield, who had been gifted with this special talent. When I left I went down a narrow street to the busy section of the capital. While on my way I met two ladies, Imogene McDonald and Greta Berg, attired in white caps and dresses embroidered with a red cross. I understood they were charity nurses at a local hospital for the poor. I recalled my school days with these now grown ladies and remembered when they had told me their chief aims were to become nurses and they had thus carried out their ambitions. Soon after passing them, I was nearly knocked off my feet by a hurrying multitude of people who were rushing to hear the famous pianist, Lawrence Chappelear, who was vying with Paderewski for world-wide honors, and during the interlude Rebekah Yau-ger made a deep impression upon the audience as she turned the pages for her inseparable friend, Ruth Bullock, the greatest opera singer, who sang lullabys instead of arias. That afternoon I boarded a train for Andalusia. The Engineer, I heard later, was Bill O’Hare and the conductor Edward Talbot. The latter, being so accustomed to riding on a train, learned his duties in a short time, his experience being gained watching others. On arriving there I saw Arthur Rankin playing the violin in the street. He was amusing a group of little folks, whose eyes sparkled from the sound of the music. He was not alone, however, for I recognized [ 31 Jack Furgason, former class vice-president, playing the saxophone, and indeed, when they both struck the notes together, it was something to listen to. Then wending my way onward, I came to a nearby business office where I found Mary Jane Young and Lorena Stalter busy at “Underwood” typewriters. I was quite astonished to find this invention in Spain but was soon informed that it had been introduced by a Perry County Girl, Madolyn Underwood, and that is why it was so named. In an adjoining room I overheard people conversing about a beauty contest which was to take place the following day. I heard the names, Goldie Dennis and Pauline Robinson mentioned. I understood they were two of the many who had entered this contest on their “good looks.” Time passed swiftly and I hurried on to a farming region in Valencia, where I saw Emmett McElwee, Earl Conaway and Richard McGonagle in a grain field, earning their living by the sweat of their brows. I was not in the least surprised to find them thus occupied because they were all good workers and experienced farmer lads. Farther on in the fruit growing region I observed Carl Stalter picking dates, but I am afraid they were not the “real” kind. Anyway here’s wishing him good luck. I was told that Frances Randolph had organized a “Four H” Canning Club there, and was having great success in instructing the girls in the secret of preserving fruits and vegetables. Here on a soap box, surrounded by fierce, bearded men, stood Mabel Hummel arguing on Socialism, Bolshevism and the League of Nations. In her hand she held a palm which had just been given her by Emma Goldman from Lenin in recognition of her talking ability. As night was fast falling I returned to Cadiz, where I met Aline Harrison and Marguerite Gordon walking around seeking their health or (?). Then once again I heard the familiar words “Hike! Hike!” and looking around saw Corwin Cookson training some youngsters to give yells which would strengthen their vocal cords for future use at “Bull Fights.” Then, after meeting all these former classmates, making such a great success in the world, I returned home for relaxation and resumed my respective line of work as milkmaid for the Rehoboth Dairy Company.

H. S., for then it received a valuable contribution, the Juniors of ’24. We were then seventy-nine in number. As a cla -s we produced but few events worthy of mention; individually, a few members achieved fame. At the end of the Freshman year, the class, with few exceptions, was ready to enter the high school as Sophomores, determined that seme day the school would be proud of them. CHAPTER II—SOPHOMORES As Sophomores we were much less diffident and awkward. During this year the class was so busy struggling through Caesar, Geometry, and other bugbears that little time was permitted for social activities. CHAPTER III—JUNIORS September, 1923, saw our class further decreased in number but increased in spirit. As for talent and ability we have contributed our share. Four letter men of the football team this year are Juniors: Paul Robinson, John Hickman, Nick Saunders and Jim Schofield. Gladys Nader and Mary Irene Bennett have achieved fame in musical circles. The Juniors are also represented in the orchestra by Eleanor Selby, Gladys Nader, Mabel Combs and Bindley Feighley. Thus the three years of our high school career have been passed, all prosperously, and we are sure that our Senior year will be an even greater success. C. GRETCHEN STINCHCOMB.

L. H. S.; for it then received a valuable contribution from the grammar school— the Sophomores of 1923. Just because we were Freshmen, very little was expected of us, but they were soon forced to take notice for we proved to be the most brilliant, the best looking, and the most capable class ever known in N. L. H. S. As was the custom, we had to stand and sing the high school song in Chapel, but what difference did that make to us, for did we not consider ourselves superior to any class in the school? We took part in all activities, organizing a baseball team, entering the track meet and furnishing the contestant for the County Spelling Contest—Leo Forquer. Ruth Manspeaker was elected Secretary of the Athletic Advisory Board. In the autumn of 1923, when the school bell rang for the first time, we entered the halls of N. L. H. S. as Sophomores and again resumed our studies. All through this year we have shown great skill in translating Caesar and have given our undivided attention to Geometry and have worked long and hard at Bookkeeping. As Sophomores we entered society, and several social clubs were organized by the girls of the class. Among those of our class who have distinguished themselves we mention Mabel Randolph, Grace Paskell, and Anne Holden who represent us in basketball; Lulu Fitzpatrick, the class cartoonist; Elizabeth Hummel, our noted runner; and Mabel Randolph, the first saxophonist in the orchestra. We must not forget our studious boys, Claire Everitt and John Courtright. The best point of the class is the close friendship that exists among the pupils. The outstanding one is between Zelma and Mr. Spearmint. She takes him everywhere except to Mr. Walbridge’s classes. This is the end of a “perfect” year and we are looking forward to the time when the autumn of 1924 flies around and we shall be full-fledged Juniors. BEATRICE DOUGHTY.

But soon this greenness vanished and the shyness disappeared as the Freshmen became sincere workers for both school and class. Late in October we held our Algebra party which was honored by the presence of the Faculty. The success of this party was greatly due to the splendid luncheon prepared by the Domestic Science girls. Socially, we have but one organized club—a group of girls who call themselves Spark Plugs and are continually speaking of “Sparky.” Many Freshmen have become prominent in school. Among these are: William Schofield, Secretary of the Athletic Advisory Board; Santa Fe Brown, Emelia Littlefield, Willow McCabe, and William Schofield, reporters on the “Periscope”; Edna Minturn and Emma Stowe, orchestra; and Kathleen Conaway, Edna Minturn, Willow McCahe, Santa Fe Brown and Emelia Littlefield, who comprised the whole of the Music Memory Contest team. So the Freshmen are not so dumb as they look. No class is quite complete without a Doris Teal and her Teaberry chewing gum, or the barnyard melodies by Joseph Finnen and George Packed. We have one especially brilliant student known as Ernest Hiller. He has never (?) been kicked out of a class, and always (??) has a perfect lesson. The Freshmen were one hundred per cent in the buying of Lecture Course tickets. This was a great shock to the upper classmen. Now the students of the Freshmen class are looking forward to the following year when they will be Sophomores. WILLOW McCABE. ORGANIZATIONS Zexuwtoman Debate RESOLVED: “That the United States Should Enter the League of Nations, Constitutionality Conceded. Affirmative: Mabel Hummel, Neil Diamond, John Wagner, John Lawrence Chappelear, alternate. Negative: Dolores Doughty, Samuel W'ickersham, Arthur Rankin, Edgar Littlefield, alternate. Coach: Mr. Walbridge. In the Perry County Triangular Debates, the Negative team defeated Crooksville 3 to 0, while Corning was defeating the Affirmative by a 2 to 1 decision. This eliminated New Lexington from the contest, but Lancaster High School challenged us to a dual debate. In these debates the Affirmative was beaten at Lancaster 2 to 1, while here the Negative was victorious over Lancaster, 2 to 1—an even season.

The staff has striven to make it a strong link in the chain connecting the school to the public. To Paul Mace, assistant-editor is entrusted the task of carrying on and improving this interesting publication [ 46 ] [ 47 ] Dramatic Club It has long been the ambition of the students of N. L. H. S. to have a Dramatic Club. At last the dream came true when Miss Stinchcomb came to us from a year of successful play coaching. As an experiment, several members of the Senior Class were chosen to represent the school. Arthur Rankin As soon as the excitement from debate had subsided, Miss Stinchcomb, assisted by Mr. Walbridge (to do the heavy work no doubt) cast six one-act plays and began work in earnest. These plays were presented successfully on April 9 and 10 at the Town Hall. It is hoped that the Di’amatic Club will continue to function, as it has been proved an indubitable success. The higher-ups have intimated that a regular course in dramatics will be introduced into the curriculum next year, a rumor which is received with great satisfaction. The plays presented at the first program were: Moonshine, The Exchange, The Far Away Princess, Sham, The Last Straw, Where But in Thomas Catchpole Lester Lowe William Clarke Richard McGonagle Samuel Wickersham John Sebastian Wagner Edgar Littlefield William O’Hare Laurence Chappelear Earl Howerth Mabel Hummel Imogene MacDonald Bess McCollister Marguerite Gordon Ruth Bullock Dolores Doughty Lucille Hickman Pauline Robinson Rebecca Yauger Ida Moore America.

Under the supervision of Miss Crawford, a team of five was chosen to represent the New Lexington grades. This team was victorious at the county contest. The three representing New Lexington at Columbus were Emelia Littlefield, Evelyn Nichols and Santa Fe Brown, Josephine Zimmers and Edna Jones having been eliminated. This team won second place in the state. In spite of their hard work the High School Team was unable to win the victory at the County Contest. More interest was created thru the success of this year and we are anxiously looking fordward to next year’s contest. [ 52 ] Athletic Advisory Board A silent, unassuming group of students this. But Athletics take money—and this is the group that helped provide the sinews of war. When the bills came in, after the athletes were resting on their laurels, these people burned the midnight oil figuring out money-making schemes that would make J. Pierpont look like a novice. They have accomplished much. By their careful planning and work, they have helped the school into a position where N. L. H. S. can put teams on the field properly equipped. Their only regret is that they could not buy sweaters for the “letter” men. But there’s another year coming. They are Arthur Wagner, Cletus Nash, John Kelso, William Schofield, Tommie Catchpole, Eleanor Selby, Murrill Hummel, Charles Donnelly, and Mr. Walbridge, advisor.

L. H. S. since 1921 closed with the decisive defeat of our old rivals, Crooksville, by an emphatic score of 13 to 0. It will be noticed that from the above schedule N. L. H. S. won seven games out of the ten, thereby winning the championship of Perry County. N. L. H. S. landed four men on the mythical all-county football team. They were Elswick, McGarvey and Appleman. Much credit is due to Coach Morgan, who, by his ability and knowledge managed not only to train a winning team, but also to develop real football players. Here is the team as it occurs to the editor: Norris Elswick (“Elsie”), fullback, was the strong man on the team. When a gain was needed he never failed to “come thru.” When “Elsie” graduates this year N. L. H. S. will lose one of its best men. Paul Robinson (“Robbie), halfback, is a good man, always fighting and fast when it comes to end runs. He has another year with N. L. H. S. So here’s good luck next year, “Robbie”. Dominic Saunders (“Nick”), halfback, though not large in stature did his part ably in the backfield, and was good at interference. “Nick” also has another year with the team and he will probably be one of its mainstays. Clarence McGarvey (“Percy”), quarter back, piloted the team to many victories by his ability to find the enemy’s weaknesses. “Percy” could also carry the ball as his opponents very readily discovered. John Hickman (“Hickey”), end, was a fast man on his feet and could always be depended on to catch a forward pass. “Hickey” was laid off the latter part of the year with a bad ankle. He will be back next year, and we wish him better luck. James Schofield (“Scho”), end, was a good man on the kick-off. Also he usually stopped all the plays coming around his end. “Scho” is another one of the men who will be in the lineup next year. Paul Lyons (“Lyons”), tackle, being big and heavy, was able to stop many plays thru the line and getting thru the line was no task at all for him. Charles Hayden (“Chuck”), tackle, was the fighting Freshman of the school this year. He was never lacking in nerve. “Chuck” was out the latter part of the season because of injuries. Lawrence Chappelear (“Chappy”), guard, was a tough, hard-fighting man. He had the ability to get thru the line. This is “Chappie’s” last year. Allen Koontz (“Runt”), guard, was small but mighty. “Runt” caused many a player’s downfall as they were very much deceived by his size. Arthur Wagner (“Art”), center, had the ability to pass the ball, so he held the position at center, always fighting, whether the team was winning or losing. He was out part of the season on account of injuries. Cletus Appleman took Hayden’s place the latter part of the season. He turned out to be one of the best players on the team. Arthur Rankin (“Art”), halfback, played the latter part of the season, and was a very valuable man on the team. He was good on end runs and plunging the line. Thomas Catchpole (“Tommy”), quarter back, was somewhat handicapped by his size, but nevertheless he came out and helped the team. William O’Hare (“Bill”), end, alternated with the other ends all year and was a great help to the team. Honorable Mention: Carl Stalter, Robert Mc- Greevy, Roy Craven, Loy Green, Donald O’Hare, Franklin Davidson. [ 56 ] ARTHUR RANKIN. [ 57 ] Basketball Basketball Schedule December 14, N. L. H. S.

L. H. S. had a well developed team this year. Playing some of the fastest teams in the county, it was usually successful in “breaking even” with them. With a continuance of the skilled coaching of the past two years N. L. H. S. should be able in the future to develop a championship team. The personnel is: William O’Hare (“Bill), forward, was the star of the team this year, possessing an eagle eye and having the ability to handle the ball. James Schofield (“Jim”), forward, contributed much to the team, and being exceptionally tall was able to net himself a few baskets. Thomas Catchpole (“Tommie”), forward, was the hardest fighter on the team. He played exceptionally well. Tommie was injured at the mid-season and as yet he has not fully recovered. Lester Lowe (“Harry”), guard, was captain of the team this year and ably handled it. He was a good passer and an excellent guard, holding his men to a low score. Arthur Rankin (“Art”), guard, played a good brand of basketball this season and was able to hang up a good average of points. Allen Koontz (“Runt”), guard, came into the limelight this year and showed exceptional ability as a guard. Honorable Mentions: Loy Green, Charles Hayden, Donald O’Hare, Murrill Hummel. ARTHUR RANKIN.

The girls’ basketball team of ’24 has had a very successful year, considering that the team was not organized until January. But under the able and enthusiastic coaching of Miss Stinchcomb much was accomplished in a short time. An organized effort is being made to foster girls’ athletics in Perry County and although the girls failed in the tournament, they are looking forward to serious work next year and better results. [ 59 ] gha Igxinqtorim -aFl Perry County Track Meet 1923 J J Last year N ew Lexington High School won the Perry County Track Meet in a very decisive way, winning over the nearest competitor, Somerset, with almost twice as many points. This track team was one of the best ever produced by N. L. H. S. The main point getters were: Marlowe, Littlefield, Schofield, and Robinson. Reichley, Elswick and Davie also added their share to the score. Among the girls, Hummel, Hill, Stowe and McCollister gathered in most of the points. After such a signal victory, Coach Morgan felt justified in entering a team in the Southeastern Track Meet held at Athens. N. L. H. S. did well, tying for first place until the last event. The final score was Bremen 29, N. L. H. S. 27, Wellston 25l 2. New Lexington won the cup in the Perry County Track Meet. This was the third consecutive time and meant the N. L. H. S. was entitled to keep the cup in its possession permanently. Although N. L. H. S. has lost some good men by graduation, she has many of the old squad left, and much new material. Much is expected from Robinson this year, and the school is confident that the new cup, now an annual one, will rest in our trophy case, along with the last one. An incomplete record of the meet is given below.

The Club members are enthusiastic followers of our athletic teams (Why?) and are always present at every contest with plenty spirit. They have two more years in school and you are sure to hear about them again. PEGGY. [ 67 ] Junior-Senior Reception This year’s Junior-Senior reception will be the great social event of the year. The members of the Junior class are making efforts to have the best reception ever given. The committee headed by James Schofield has made arrangements for the armory for the dance and the dinner will be given by the ladies of the Methodist church. Tentative plans for the decorations indicate that the affair will be a May party, pole and all. If possible the cabaret scheme will be carried out and refreshments will be served (Oh, Glory) FREE. The orchestra will be the best that can be procured. It is sure to be an event which the Seniors will remember the rest of their lives. Football Banquet On the sixth of December at the K. of P. Hall the girls of the upper classes, with financial help from the Athletic Association, entertained the members of the football squad with a banquet and dance. The music was furnished by Lawrence Chappelear and his “Gang.” The chaperons were Miss Stinchcomb and Mr. Walbridge. This function marks the beginning of an organized effort on the part of the school to recognize the services of our athletes. It is expected that the same sort of affair will be arranged for the basketball and track men. Debate Party On March 12, the members of the debate squad motored to Jacktown where thy enjoyed a chicken dinner in celebration of the victory over Crooksville and in consolation over their defeat at Corning. A highly amusing time was had by all bein’ as how Sam waxed funny. L 68 J Editorials PUBLICATIONS N. L. H. S. has made great progress in the matter of publications this year. The Periscope was revived and has been going forward with zest under the care of Edgar Littlefield and Sam Wickersham. This is a most important part of the school machinery; for it is necessary to keep the schools before the public constantly. A concise report of the doings and thoughts of the school is not only interesting but stimulating to the public at large. It is hoped that in the near future, the Periscope can be printed as a separate publication and reach the public more directly as a school activity. At present Mr. Davie very kindly allows the Periscope to appear as a part of his weekly paper, The Tribune. The Annual has been improving each year since its inception, and the staff of 1924 sincerely hope that the student body will accept this volume in the same spirit that it was written. It represents work and hard work on the part of every member of the staff. They are to be congratulated on their faithfulness to the Lexingtonian in the midst of all the other activities in which they have been called upon to engage. The book is not perfect, you will probably find many defects; but remember “To err is human”, and bear with the staff. CHAPEL NOTES Unless great care is taken, Chapel is likely to become a very great bore to the student body at large and to the faculty. N. L. H. S. solved the problem in 1924 by turning the Chapel exercises over to the various assembly room teachers. Each class sponsored one Chapel, spending time and effort upon it. The wisdom of this step was soon proved, because Chapel became an interesting, live occasion instead of a sleep period. The Juniors led off with a program consisting of musical selections and readings. The Sophomores followed with a bigger program based upon the Lincoln tradition. The Freshmen were followed by the Faculty and they in turn succeeded by the Seniors. In the inter- ludes we have had special speakers from the town and from out of town. This always makes the Chapel more interesting. So we close the year with pleasant memories of Friday morning in the basement. THE SCHOOL LIBRARY The students of N. L. H. S. are very much elated over the recent additions to the school library. For three years the school has struggled along vainly trying to prepare assignments without any collateral or reference books. Needless to say, this has been a severe handicap. At the beginning of the second semester, the School Board, at the suggestion of the state department, bought several hundred volumes. These books were chosen from the following classifications: Economics, Sociology, Poetry, Fiction, Home Economics, History, Geography and Travel and the Social Sciences. It is hoped by the departing Seniors that the oncoming classes will use these books with all the care possible, for they have not known the trying time of long assignments and themes without reference works. It takes so little to keep the library in good order and condition. All that is necessary is that each student take upon himself the responsibility for all books and for seeing that every stray is returned to the proper shelves. In this way the library will give a maximum of service and a minimum of trouble. THE HIGH SCHOOL LECTURE COURSE This season’s lecture course was a decided success. Mr. Darnell, working under the impression that the public wants the best and is willing to support it rather than something cheap, engaged much higher salaried performers than ever before, and the results are self-evident. The tickets were all sold out and each number was greeted with a capacity house. For the first time in years the season closed without a deficit. Mr. Darnell informs us that he is busy engaging a better course for next year so be ready to support this undertaking which bids fair to become a community institution under the auspices of N. L. H. S. [ 69 ] gxmqtomn THE ANNUAL DECORATION The staff takes pleasure in calling your attention to the new idea in decoration used in this volume. This is the first time that the same motif has been carried out throughout the volume. The staff after much argument, decided on the Spanish theme and entrusted this arduous task to Edgar Little- field, the Art Editor. The results speak for themselves. The prophecy carries out the same theme in having Spain for its setting. So do not be surprised if you find yourself transported to Spain when you have long had ideas of going to Ohio State, or Ohio University. Music Memory Contest—1924 This year a class of music appreciation was organized in the High School from which the team of five was selected. The three victors at the County Contest were Edna Minturn, Emelia Littlefield, and Santa Fe Brown. They were unable to win at Calumbus, despite the fact that they tied with six other counties for first place. An “at large” team was also entered. Willow McCabe and two Junction City students comprised this team. Pins were awarded to all for perfect scores. The grade team was not quite so successful this year as that of last year. The team was made up of Josephine Zimmers, Lucille Riggle, and Genevieve Reid. Even though this year was not so successful as last year, the music class is waiting, ready to enter the contest next year for a victory. The County Music Contest—1923 In April, 1923, N. L. H. S. did fine work in the County Music Contest held at Somerset, Ohio. Our entries in the finals were as follows: Boys’ Solo—Herbert Kelley. Boys’ Quartet—Floyd Koehler, Herbert Kelley, Star Marlowe, Leo Nash. Girls’ Sextette—Marjorie Crawford, Sue Teal, Alice Spitzer, Melda Farnsworth, Uldena Stowe, Mary Greene. Mixed Quartette—Sue Teal, Helen Stalter, Herbert Kelley, Leo Nash. Orchestra—Charles Smith, Eleanor Selby, Edna Minturn, Arthur Rankin, Corwin Cookson, Bill Andrews, Madolyn Underwood, Gladys Nader. In the above contests N. L. H. S. won first place in the boys’ solo, the boys’ quartet, and second place in the orchestra contests. N. L. H. S. lacked only two points of gaining second place in the county. For 1924, N. L. H. S. is entering an exceptional group of contestants, and we are hoping that under the careful guidance of Miss Crawford, N. L. H. S. will emerge the winner of the county banners this year.

[ 73 ] [ 74 ] gxingtonian Senior Class Directory This directory of the Senior Class is not to represent the activities of the various members of the class of ’24. It is rather to recall their follies and foibles; for in the years to come when retrospection takes the place of ambition, it is this phase of earlier life that is recalled with most pleasure. The toil and strife of busy life should be relegated to the dust heap of all unpleasant things. So this, then, is the record of your informal hours, not the record of your formal accomplishments, which no doubt will be graven in letters of gold on marble. We deal only with matters sometimes too soon forgotten. Neil sure knows how to spoon, He’s skilled in Science of the Moon, Dolores thinks that he’s just fine And often asks him down to dine. Tommy is small of stature But great of mind, A jollier boy you will Seldom find. Percy the football star of great renown, Who’ll make the gains on every down. Cletus is a bashful lad But what of that I say; For when in football togs he’s clad, You ought to see him play. Jack is the quiet boy you know, His lessons like him are just so, In his ways he’s so precise All the girls think he’s so nice. Ed whose art will win renown, He’s liked by everyone in town; For him one bright future we plan Live up to this Eddie as near as you can. Johnny’s a fine fellow—“you all know that,” Whatever he attempts he does just pat, School without him would be lifeless and dead, He’s the fellow we all like as I’ve already said. Marguerite is so modest and nice, Always quiet, always precise. She is so good in all of her classes, That we’re afraid she will surpass us. Ida the lassie with dark brown hair, Has never a trouble, never a care. But goes on living happy and free Ever wondering what her future may be. Velma is a quiet girl, She seldom speaks out loud, But just to have her in our class We all are mighty proud. Here’s to Imogene, quiet and meek, Who comes to school just once a week. Her cne desire’s a nurse to be If she has to-work from one to three. Samuel is the prince of boys, Who lives on nothing except noise. He can’t be still at all— But of all the folks who live on jokes, He takes the rubber ball. Mary is always so happy and gay, And she has her lessons (nearly) every day, ’Tis true she seldom ever cuts classes— In fact she’s one of our very best lasses. Frances studies at night and goes to school by day, But still finds plenty of time for folly and play. No one like her has yet been seen, Just look at her she’s a gem serene. [ 75 ] [ 76 ] xmg Ionian Edith is one of the best scholars, That could by chance be met; And we predict that some day, She’ll capture Carl in her net. Goldie is a quiet girl, But generous with her smile, The teachers seldom scold her For she’s busy all the while. Norris the boy of whom we’re proud, So here’s three cheers all good and loud. He is such an all around guy No wonder we give him this loud cry. Ruth is a student rare, No other with her can compare. And in her music she’s just right. Tho’ she seldom works with all her might. Eliza goes to school but never in a hurry, She has just one care but not one worry. She only wants the flowers to bloom, And be somebody’s wife quite soon. Rebecca, dark hair, dark eyes A winning look, It’s hard to tell which boy She’ll hook. Enid the girl who dislikes the boys, No doubt it’s because they make so much noise, Tho she’s not so quiet herself you know, It’s only at times that she seems so. Our little blue-eyed Irish Dolores We’ve heard her say she’s strong for “us,” But we all know quite well Neil Diamond’s his name—don’t tell. Bill the comedian of our class, Is liked by every lassie and lass. In plays he does excel; Whatever he does, he does well. Allen the youth with features fair, Prefers a maid with dark brown hair. For his dimples the girls all pray, But he lives on happy from day to day. Chappie has one hour a day for study, Two hours in which to eat, One hour to think how tired he is, And twenty hours to sleep. Art Rankin is a clever guy, Filled to the brim with mirth, Very pleasing to the eye, And more than this he’s worth. Aline is as delicate as a lily fair. She never says, “I do not care,” But always tries with all her might Tho she has to study day and night. Lucille is a pretty girl With hair so light and features fine, She never sighs nor never frowns But smiles at “Skinney” all the time. Elizabeth McCollister, just Bess, At lessons she’s a shark, oh, yes, At French and Latin, she’s right there, It would take more than these to give her a scare. Lorena is the girl who laughs from morn til night, Tho she says “My grades they are a fright,” She giggles, giggles on. Pauline is so timid and shy, She could break the heart of any guy. She is good in all her studies, She’s one of our best buddies. Art is the boy who is full of fun, He’s liked by every son-of-a-gun, At lessons he’s sure a go-getter, But at other things he’s much better. [ 77 ] Madolyn’s the one who’ll make good at law, For without doubt she has plenty of jaw. If her career is not bent, She’s sure to be president. Elsie Hankison you all know well. It is needless of me this story to tell, In her classes she’s just fine, And at kidding the boys she has some line. Now comes a boy named Bill O’Hare At basket shooting he’s right there. He’s also a member of Co. F, Which you have heard if you’re not deaf. Lester Lowe the pride of Co. F, Right, lef’, right, lef’, You bet he’s their quartermaster, What would he be if he were faster? Henry McDonald our young prodigy, Who finished in three years, oh gee! His classes he never cuts, He never gives ifs, ands, or buts. Edward Talbot is very quiet, He’ll never be in any riot, But still you bet he knows a heap, Because still water does run deep. Rich, the boy with plenty of hair, Which makes the girls all stare. But of all of them his gem serene Is a little girl called Aileen. Robert McGreevey, just plain Bob, But he is certainly not a snob, He’s the boy who raises corn on the cobs, And makes jack by the gobs. Guy’s the boy from Moxie, He never needs a proxie, For he is far too foxy To ever stay at Moxie. And here’s to Earl Conaway, Who works until the dawn of day, To think up funny things to say, To his fair damsel gay. His last name’s Young, his first is Ed, Won’t we miss him when he’s dead? For he’s a jolly good fellow, And he wobbles just like jello. And that lad called Kenneth Stevens, Will never get the leavin’s, Because he’ll be there at the start, And he is sure to get his part. Here’s to Emmett, good old Mac, He’ll hit the world an awful whack. And climb the ladder, step by step, Because he sure has got the pep. Now we all know Randolph K, You will too, perhaps some day, At Fording he’s a wonder, He sure does give it thunder. Mike’s the boy who cuts your hair And shaves you like a teddy bare. He is so clever and so funny, Some day he’ll have plenty of money. Carl likes plenty of fun that is sure, And for all ailments he has a cure, Just be happy, never cry or fret, Things will come all right, you bet. To you who know Val, You’ll agree he’s a good pal, He’s always the same, Not caring for fame. Earl is a ticket seller as you know, At this job he’s far from slow, He is quite bashful we’ll admit, Still, in the dark, he likes to sit. [ 78 ] Here’s to Callie Stansberry, A little maiden so merry. She’s always so very busy, There’s no time left to act dizzy. Greta tho quiet, modest and meek, Is always ready more pleasure to seek, In the class room she is all wiggles, All she has is giggles, giggles. Rose is a typist very rare— Better far than a pair, Dictation some day she will take The President’s secretary make. Gladys so meek and demure. She’s a hit you can be sure, You never see her in a hurry For she never has a single worry.

But by the purple milk we get, I’m sure there must be one. Mrs. Wiggins—“What is a skeleton?” John Courtwright—“Why a skeleton is when you pull a man’s insides out and take his outsides off.” Miss Wieser (to Neil who is always late even in the afternoon)—“What’s your excuse this time?” Neil—“Well, you see I put the alarm clock under my bed so I’d hear it, but do you know I slept ‘over’ time.” Miss Wieser—“That’s a new one, EXCUSED.” [ 79 1 gxingionian St iifr—• Our Question Box Conducted by Dr. Uno I. Fixit Carl S.—If you can’t stop biting your nails I should suggest that you cut your hands off. Zelma K.—I think that your bunions come from wearing your shoes too small; try sixes. Ruth B.—For reducing, this method is the best we know of. Eat only one meal a day and spend at least four hours in strenuous exercise. We are sure that this will produce the desired results. Jim Scho.—Since your feet are so big, we advise you to wear bloomers or else pull your trousers on over your head. General Reader—In your letter you ask how long babies should be nursed. I should say, the same as short ones. Carl S.—Yes, you are much too young to start going with the girls, even if your mother does approve. Sam W.—You should really make a choice, it is not fair to the girls for you to make them all believe that you like them. Try picking one. From your handwriting I should judge that red hair would fit your temperament best. Edward T.—I am sorry I can not answer your inquiry in these columns. Please send self-adc’ressed and stamped envelope. Earl C.—I don’t know why your bean vines won’t grow. You might tell them the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. It will probably make them envious and they will do better. Dolores D.—Try bobbing it. It often has a striking effect. JOKES Wally—“It appears from my record that you have flunked just 19 times in Latin this month.” Sam—“Yes, no man is perfect.” Miss Stinchcomb—“Do you know Poe’s Raven”? Lester L.—“No, what’s he mad about?” Comedy in Three Acts. Act 1—A student and two pints. Act 2—A student and one pint. Act 3—One pint. A. Hick—My cow’s grown. B. Hick—Mine moo. Our idea of a soft job is that of assisting a florist to pick the flowers off the century plants. Wallie—“Neil, where are you going in such a hurry?” Neil—“Nowhere.” W'allie—“What’s your hurry?” Neil—“Gotta get there.” She—My father’s a doctor, so I can be sick for nothing. He—My father’s a preacher, so I can be good for nothing. Mr. Darnell—I’ll give you one day to hand in that paper. Allen—All right. How about the Fourth of July? Miss Weiser (in history)—“What’s the Mayflower Compact?” Rebecca—“You get it at Sheeran’s; it’s the best rouge.” John W.—Won’t you join me in a cup of tea? Mabel H..—Well, you get in, and I’ll see if there’s any room left. [ 80 ] OUR SHAKESPEAREAN REPERTOIRE Ed Y.—I have a chance for the track team. Miss Boyle—Why, are they going to raffle it off? Lives of great editors remind us That our lives are not sublime, They have to work like thunder To get copy up in time. AND SO DO WE! At a lecture one night, Ida Moore happened to be seated between a Jewish rabbi and a minister of the Episcopal church. She thought she would be real clever and said to the rabbi, “I feel as if I were the leaf between the old and the new testaments.” “Yes,” responded the rabbi, “that page is usually blank.” “Donald,” said his mother, suspiciously, as he came down stairs, “did you take your bath?” “No, mother,” said Donald Black, innocently, “is one missing?” Miss Wyland—“Did you ever see the Cats-kill mountains?” Goldie D.—“No, I never, but I’ve seen them kill mice.” Marg. McG.—“Do you like corn on the ear?” Zelma K.—“I don’t know; I never had one there.” Wally (questioning want-to-be debaters) —“Have you ever done any public speaking?” Sam W.—“I once proposed to a girl over the telephone.” Love’s Labor Lost—Ed Littlefield. Midsummer Night’s Dream—The Sleigh Ride Much Ado About Nothing—Chappie. Romeo and Juliet—Neil Diamond, Dolores Doughty. Comedy of Errors—Mr. Walbridge. As You Like It—Miss Boyle. All’s Well That Ends Well—The Seniors. The Tempest—Miss Van Atta. Anthony and Cleopatra—Callie Stansberry, Emmett McElwee. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Miss Van Atta—Without a Temper? Neil Diamond—In a dreadful hurry? N. L. H. S.—With a jazz orchestra? John Wagner—Not at a dance? Zelma Kennedy—Without chewing gum? Mabel Hummel—Unable to talk? Henry McDonald—As a soap box orator? Allen Koontz—With his hair mussed? Mr. Darnell—Teaching dancing lessons? Madolyn Underwood—Without stale jokes? Miss Nicholson—Talking with her hands tied ? Art Wagner—Without Verna? Sam Wickersham—Never dropping anything? ? ? ? Mr. Morgan—After he’s married ? Mrs. Wiggins—Without freckles? Beatrice Doughty—Ever smiling? Miss Weiser—Ever catching the right person cheating? Miss Stinchcomb—Without her bandoline curl ? Aline Harrison—With a sheik? Ruth Bullock—With Guy Hillis? Rebecca Yauger—With brain fever? Aline Harrison—As a toe dancer? Ida Moore—At school? Art W.—I believe you said Walter Hillis reminded you of a music box. Why so? Neil—Yes, he seems so full of airs. [ 81 ] Lexmqlomn Ella May—How long did it take you to learn to skate? Miss Stinchcomb—Oh, about two dozen sittings. Miss Nicholson (in English)—What do you think of Shakespeare’s works? Nick Fitzer—Personally, I like the mechanism of the Elgin much better. Wallie—When did Caesar defeat the greatest numbers? Inez—I think it was on examination day. Balloonist (lost in a fog)—Hello, down there, where am I? Willow McC.—You can’t fool me, you’re in that basket. John W.—Hazlitt’s new Jane sure is awfully clever, isn’t she? She can always raise a laugh. Lester—Yes, she actually made a banana split the other day. Hester A.—What makes this train so slow? Conductor—If you don’t like it, get off and walk. Hester—I would, but I am not expected until train time. Miss Weiser—It’s tough to pay forty-five cents a pound for meat. Butcher—Yes, but it’s tougher when you pay only twenty-five. 0, you my Frances, with eyes of blue, You are a fairy queen to me. I never gaze into a pool Unless it is your eyes I see. I can’t imagine anything so beautiful But what I think of thee. When I see a lily straight and tall, I think of your fair form. ’Tis you for whom my heart alone doth call Without you I will always mourn. —Poet Laureate of Bristol W. H.
