Whatsoever we do that is commendable, whatsoever that is worthy, may we never forget that the confidence and love of our parents have inspired us. —4— xin0oniai Foreword We have spent our time and efforts, We have worked both day and night, We have sacrificed our pleasures, Just to organize a yearbook, Which we hope deserves your praise. And we here present the product Of our many weary days. Though the toil was hard and tiring, It was surely worth the try, For we gathered sweet reminders Of the year at New Lex High. Though our book might be much better Still it might not be as good; And we have the consolation That we did the best we could. —5— xingtonian Order of Hooks 1.

Evans Mr. Carl Beckett . Mr. C. R. Ridenour, Clerk. About the middle of the nineteenth century, a city school board was established in a few of the larger cities of the United States for the purpose of controlling the so-called “Public Schools.” Prior to that time, the administration of the schools had been in the hands of a church or of various societies organized for the purpose of promoting education and in order to see that all children might have the advantages of instruction in some sort of school. We can say that the foundation for our Public Schools was made about 1853, at which time our present form of school board was established. In discussing “The School” we rightly are considering the Board of Education first, since it is this organization upon which the responsibility of directing our work falls, and which stands back of all our undertakings. Their duties are sundry and varied and although they are often the recipients of unmerited criticism, we feel that much credit is due their patient work. To the casual observer, this work may seem to consist merely of obtaining a group of teachers for the school system, but in reality, every enterprise of our school is their responsibility also. Only a part of this Board’s duties is taken up with the erection of the new building which will house our high school beginning next year. Although, not all the members of this present Board of Education have been confronted with this task, we wish to take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts. Mrs. Lowe, the efficient president of the board has shown her interest in our activities in many ways; often by attending our classes and becoming acquainted with the whole student body. Mrs. Selby has been a very loyal supporter too, and she was seen many times at our football games and chapel exercises during the past year. The remaining three members are: Mr. Kimball, Mr. Evans and Mr. Beckett. Although we have not had the opportunity to become so well acquainted with them, yet we know that they are sincerely interested in our welfare. Mr. Ridenour acts as the clerk for the Board, and through his experience in the teaching profession he is very well fitted for his position. These people are serving us, let us try to lighten their task by giving them our best cooperation and they will undoubtedly do the same for us. xingtoni xingtonian FACULTY —li— To Mr. Morgan, who for four years has been our friend; kindly, reliable, encouraging, admonishing even, and always our friend, AND To Miss Potter, who as senior sponsor and faculty adviser for our Annual, has given us unsparingly of her time, of her enthusiasm, and of her loyalty. To these two we express our appreciation. 12— FACULTY Xi FELONISE WEISER, B. S. Miami University W. C. WATSON, A. B.

So it seemed to us as we trembled in awe. Time, however, is the great test of all things and with the perspective that a few short weeks gave us, we realized that here was a faculty worthy not of our awe— they were too human for that—but worthy of our highest respect. MR. HIGLEY, Physics and Mathematics Mr. Higley, our efficient superintendent, has been with us three years. He is foremost in our school activities, even tempered and last to become angry at our pranks. MR. MORGAN, Social Science and Law Surely no student at N. L. H. S. has had a more loyal friend, a more willing helper than our principal, Mr. Morgan, who has been with us all four years of our high school course. MISS WEISER, Home Economics and American History Miss Weiser has strenuously sought to teach us American History, and thanks to our ability, some of us can name nearly all the Presidents from Washington to Coolidge and a vice-president or two. MISS POTTER, French and History “Est jamais notre amie.” As senior class advisor she has helped us in a great many enterprises and we feel greatly indebted to her. MISS COULTER, English and Public Speaking Miss Coulter is a successful instructor in English and the art of public speaking. During the year, two very creditable plays were given under her direction. MISS BARKER Mathematics She has aroused such interest in a subject often very difficult, that her pupils have organized the first Mathematics Club of N. L. H. S. MISS POWELL, Science and Biology Although Miss Powell’s work has been confined to the Freshman and Sophomore classes, she has become a staunch friend of every member of N. L. H. S. MR. WATSON, Latin and Agriculture It has been agreed that Latin has become a much more interesting subject under his tutelage. MR. LEWIS, Commercial, Athletics Here is another newcomer, but one who has worked untiringly to bring fame to N. L. H. S. in the field of athletics and with a generous amount of success. MISS JENKINS, English and History Miss Jenkins came to us at the beginning of the second semester to replace Miss Peoples, and we find her the same intelligent instructor as of yore. MISS JONES, Music Miss Jones has given much time and effort to prepare us for the Annual 'County Music Contest, as well as being ever willing to help us in our musical programs. —15— xin gtonian xingtoni —19 Niv NL MABEL RANDOLPH, Vice President CLAIR EVERITT, Secretary Professional Professional JOE WEILANI), President English MARY GREENE, Treasurer Professional RUTH ANTHONY DONALD O’HARE INEZ EVERITT Commercial English Professional -20— LEO FORQUER Professional ELIZABETH HUMMEL Professional WAYNE WOLFE Commercial PHILIP BLACK English NETTIE CRUM Commercial JAY McMAHON Professional —21— xingtonian MARTHA MICK DAN McILVOY Commercial English ETHEL BROWN Commercial ELLIOT WELCH Professional ANNA C.

L. H. S. as a class of ninety Grammar School Graduates, but we were practically unknown to the other High School students. For the first few days we were encountered by the most miserable of obstacles. When the pedagogues started talking about schedules, we were very bewildered, for we had never known of such complex matters. When the bell rang to change classes, we sauntered along from room to room seeking our places but all in vain. During the first week we were compelled to remain after school—no, not for detention class, but for “Cookie,” who was endeavoring to teach us the “High School Songs.” On Friday morning we filed down to chapel and were “razzed” incessantly by the upper classmen, but we proved our ability in singing the “Old High School Song.” We soon overcame these embarrassing situations and earnestly started to study. Our never failing friend, Mr. Morgan, was always ready to help us solve our many problems of school life. The year sped swiftly along, and we began to realize that our green and bashful year of High School life was almost at a close. Again the next fall when the familiar school bell sounded, we assembled once more, but it was our turn to laugh at the poor, green Freshmen. Soon we found ourselves victims of a poison fang (???). Why Caesar, Caesar of course. We were confident, how-ever, that we could master it and we did, to Wally’s surprise. Although all members of our class w'ere noted for their many accomplishments, we have only room to mention a few. Anne Holden, Grace Paskell and Mabel Randolph, who represented us on the basket ball teams. The entry for spelling contest, Leo Forquer, was chosen from our class. Juniors! The very name inspired us to gain more glory than in previous years, and we commenced to take an active interest in all our work. Mr. Higley even said that we were the most brilliant of Algebra Classes. (Who dares to dispute his word?) The first noticeable event of this year was when we organized our incomparable class by electing the following officers: President, Leo Forquer; Vice President, Joe Weiland; Secretary, Clair Everitt; Treasurer, Mary Greene. We were very proud of our contribution to athletics, which was thirteen of our fellow students on the football and basketball teams. Others worthy of mention are those who represented us in the County Music Contest. Our reception for the Class of ’25 has never been surpassed in the history of dear old N. L. H. S. And now we are Seniors. Each has tried to make this last year the most beneficial to him. This has meant more study (American History) : “No prize without a struggle.” Our faculty advisor, Miss Potter, was al- —29— r, xingfonlai k§. ways ready to lend a helping hand. As we leave, we hope that we shall be remembered as a class which was always willing to participate in any activity which was sponsored by the high school and as a class which strived always to maintain a high scholastic standing. Our school and faculty can never be repaid. Remembrances of them will linger with each student as he journeys into this vast world. It is with mingled feelings of joy and sadness that we leave our fellow students and all the pleasant memories of our high school behind us. We sincerely hope as you read over these pages that you will recall happy memories of the Class of ’26. BEATRICE GILLEY. —30— xingtoniaii Senior Class Prophecy “King Arthur and His Table Round.” Familiar though that may be, how few people living in the twentieth century pause to consider that they have a personal interest therein. As the story goes, King Arthur once held a story telling contest, and every knight in the kingdom was invited to participate. The past, the present, the future— there was no limit to their choice of subjects. Then spake Lady Pickele: “It will happen so upon a time in that far land, Ohio, that many ladyes faire and knights also will be there foregathered. It to me seemeth I see them all.” The quiet Philip Black bears him with him gentle dignity as he further befuddles the bewildered public with his call to trains in the town that highte San Francisco. The Ladye Ruth Anthony and the Gay Sir Thorla Cannon are to-joined and they maketh them a fortune causing the shoes to shine in Rehoboth. Gay Sir John Courtright, ah, it to me re-penteth. Lo! he doth travel with the circus that is Barnum and Bailey’s. Behind the bars he seemeth the perfect laughing hyena. ’Tis said his condition was caused by his efforts as Joke Editor of the Annual. Ladye Ethel Brown hath written her a story yclept, “Why Men Leave Home.” The shy Sir Clair Everitt seeks for the perfect mate. It has by some seemed wise to advertise, since his quest seemeth vain. The vivacious Ladye Maude Burril amas-seth great wealth, for truly, she disporteth herself in the ad, “Guaranteed Curl Eradi-cator.” It pleasureth the people much at the play to see the trials and the triumphs of the Ladyes Ettie and Nettie Crum. Daily these damsels delight the assemblye in the role of “Orphans of the Storm. Also the young squire, Leo Forquer, who cometh in lightly to the stage. He hath won much worship because of his fair size, being well nigh seven feet. The olde towne pump that all men love entirely is being built anew by the good offices of the contractor, Francis Kiener. Francis’ fair cousin, Lawrence Kiener, who hath taken Ladye Beatrice Gilley to wife, is ever besought by her to buy his shoes to fit, for it is ever the habit of the baby to fall in to his father’s shoes, and this well nigh does him unto death. Lo, there is rumored the prowess of an unknown Knight. Wit ye will he has had recourse to Nuxated Iron, and deems it only child’s play to overcome the man highte Dempsey. This new Knight? But truly it is our Walen Mick. The handsome Joe Weiland, how the ladyes do smile ’pon him! He rides abroad and maketh the ladyes to buy of his wares—a cream for the face, “Blushes,” meseems ’tis called. Many there are who entered into trades: The Ladye Ethel Deavers cares for the monies in the store in Mainsville. Sir Harry Kelly, he doth indite the classic “Whiz Bang.” The Ladye Ann Holden dabbles in estates real. Young Daniel Mcllvoy, first among harpists. playeth the tune for the stately “Charleston,” which is, so the book sayeth, a dance of great charm and dignity. Sir Don O’Hare in the far city of Detroit doth inspect the Elizabeth of Tin. He dili- —31— xingtoni an gently removes him all the dust specks from the gleaming surface of each carriage before ’tis sent to foreign places. Ye Ladye Martha Mick fills the place erstwhile held by the person yclept Betty Fairfax. Martha gives advice to the love-lorn and ’tis rumored she has had much success with her love charms and potions, which she distributed among the ladyes faire at N. L. H. S. ’Tis sayde also that Eugene Saffel partook of her latest cupid compound, and lo! he has been given ye flapper Lucy McNulty to guard and cherish. So the book sayeth, but ’tis not proven, that Andrew Totten and Catherine Mcllvoy were to—joined because of the miraculous power of Miss Martha’s herbs. The astute Grace Paskell and the calm Sir Elliot Welch own the “Dispensary of Broiling Puppies,” where Main Street South meets Mill. Sir Henry Teal has laid aside his lute for the shears and gaily he fashions him the “Oxford Bags.” His shield is blazoned with “So’s Your Old Man.” The Ladyes Lucille and Alice Propper maintain the very “proper” court at Dixie, where each summer the young bloods and belles of fashion foregather and disport themselves in dance and song. Here, too, their brother, yclept Theodore, gazes at the stars, and ’tis said that he hath found himself a new planet. Philip, the Red, surnamed Hickman, from the depths of his wisdom and experience, hath inscribed him a book, “Tell the Truth, Girls.” In grateful remembrance Cordia Koblentz hath presented to her alma mater her re- cent improvement on the sun dial. ’Tis said it does not gain time as does the popular study hall clock. Art claims some of these ladyes and knights for her own: Floyd Sherrick, Aux Yeux Bleux, hath now won worship, for did he not displace Valentino, the Beloved? The Ladye Garnet McMahon and the versatile Sir Tracey are causing Paderewski to look to his laurels. Carl, the cunning, of the house of Shubert, draws and indites the Jingles Jolly for the Dispatch. The lithsome Inez Everitt, our Ruth St. Denis, truly it was ever her accustom to trip on light fantastic toe through the hallways of N. L. H. S. Ye Sweeney Soeurs, the epitome of Jazz— it seemeth they, with their intonations that the moderns term “Blues,” and their gymnastic gyrations have taken the place of the Duncan Sisters for all time. El Fredo the Fair winneth much fame in her Terpsichorean interpretations on the concert stage. The petite Elizabeth Hill journeyed into far lands and spent her time and her father’s lucre studying musique. Now she instructs at a deaf and dumb school. Mabel Randolph, from her country estate, charms and lures by the mellow notes of her Saxophone. A veritable “Lorelie” she. Mary Greene travels far and near telling of the “Evils of Flirting in the City Park.” She taketh, so the book sayeth, Jay McMahon along as Exhibit “A.” —32— xin Leonard McNulty maketh him great dole for the Perry County Telephone Co., heartlessly breaks the connection after he has talked some thirty minutes to the ladye of his heart, Elizabeth Hummel. The Ladye Anna C. McCann always flut-tereth and fretteth, for truly is she not pursued by a red-faced suitor who would be her Knight? Here is a change, indeed! The deliberate Lola Smith speedeth up and winneth for herself the gum-chewing contest of the known world. As of yore, young Cletus Nash bedecks himself in his brother’s finery and strutteth his stuff meanly. Forest White censoreth all mail that arriv- eth at an exclusive Academy for Females on the river that is named for Heinrick. The Ladyes Mary Alice Sweeney and Edna Dennis have joined them to the Salvation Army corps. Lady M. Alice carries her the tambourine and Edna eliciteth dulcet tones from a cornet on a corner. Sir Floyd Thompson is Generalissimo Grandiliquo of the Hottentot Hussars. The polemic Wayne Wolfe hath subsided into the most affable of men. Serenely he watcheth the world as it passeth by his retreat at Pigeon Roost. It was here that it happened that Sir Murril Hummel, while making him one of his frequent visits with his friend, grafted oranges on blackberry bushes to make the colors of N. L. H. S. ULDENA STOWE. —33— The Class Will WE, whose individual names are hereinafter set forth, as donors, and who collectively constitute the entire membership of the Senior Class of N. L. H.

We decided to respond to the outrageous pranks played upon us by our worthy superiors with the best of sportsmanship, and soon we showed them that we didn’t intend to let “little things like that worry us” by entering wholeheartedly into the spirit of N. L. H. S. In a very short time, we had been initiated into the greatest of school sports, football and basketball, and soon we succeeded in making the upper classmen’s amused looks change to those of astonishment and pride. When a large number of our girls joined the Glee Club, we proved that not the least of our abilities were along music lines. Our prize musical aspirants carried away several honors in the County Music Contest, and they tell us that Paul W’hiteman wore a worried expression when he heard about the school orchestra, in which we were amply represented. Class competition boomed after this—the upper classmen had seen what they were up against. We were quite a chesty bunch when we answered the school call as Sophomores, but as pride always comes before a fall, we were due for our share of descent. The faculty did not seem to appreciate our position for they directed us to remain in our old rooms, on the same floor with the new Freshmen! With more determination than ever, we sent many of our men out for football, and by the end of the season we had a generous portion of the bacon. This blistered the pride of the Seniors; their back-breaking effort to keep their place in the Hall of Fame—the Palace of Glory, or whatever it is called, served only to whet our appetites for more of that bacon. Did we get it? I’ll say we did! With the aid of our musical talent—the best in the school—we were sure—we again took honors. We emerged resplendent from our Sophomore year. Glory! Glory! Glory! What Price Glory? Well, it was worth it at any price. Juniors! The name tinkles pleasantly in our ears. We set out with the same old punch, to hold and add to the reputation we had gained. The activities we occupied ourselves with were these: selling tickets, at tending school events, electing class officers, preparing and having class parties, studying? and grabbing more honors. Our warriors again fought valiantly in the field, and we placed our banner on high. In a short time we shall be Seniors of N. L. H. S. One might say all too soon. We shall hope to be a class worthy of that dignified position and one that will strive to add always to the honor and scholastic standing of our high school.

L. H. S. as Freshies. Our timidity and humility recommended us immediately to the upper classmen and we were given a hearty welcome for which we were duly grateful. Following in the footsteps of our illustrious superiors we organized our class by electing Rex Allen president, Charles Saunders vice president, Joe Rodgers treasurer, and John Wilder secretary. This was an excellent executive force as there was no money to treasurer and no coherent meetings to record. After a few short weeks N. L. H. S. realized that here indeed were yearlings of which they might be proud. Our precocity was exemplified at an early age of two weeks for at that time we rose, stood alone, and sang the high school songs without prompting from our elders. For the glory of N. L. H. S. our musicians lent their aid and sweet tones during the music contest. Nor was all our attention given to the fine arts, for on the field and court our sturdy members (Dave and Les) defended their alma mater. The year passed quickly and in September 1925, we returned to New Lex Hi as Sophomores, bowed down with the weight of our importance and realizing our responsibility so far as the new Freshmen were concerned. After the time honored custom, we “razzed and razzed ’em’’ even as we had suffered ourselves to be “razzed.’’ Feeling that the honors should be passed around, a class meeting was held and the following were chosen as officers: President, Josephine Zimmer; vice president, Rex Allen; treasurer, Hazel How-erth, and secretary, Earl Hazlett. So far, no criticism of this administration has been offered. We plunged into the social whirl with a weiner roast, held on the Somerset road. The usual amount of dirt and leaves were consumed along with the conventional “hot dogs” and marshmallows. Our next perpetration was a party. For this gala occasion we secured the I. O. O. F. Hall and “Saunders Symphonic Six.” To the lilting strains produced by this popular “band,” we danced. Believing firmly in plain living and high thinking, no refreshments were served. The affair was more or less a success depending upon whether one danced or played cards. We have acquired the usual honors in mu sic and athletics this year and greatness is further thrust upon us by the election of our members to the honorary Mathematics Club. If our modest efforts, scholastic and social, seem small to you, all we ask is—give us time —we’re only two years old. JO ZIMMER —44— —45— xingtoniati Freshman Class Officers President......

While round about us on every side, On that pleasant morn of early Fall, When we Freshmen first in our assembly hall By two’s and three’s we did arrive Till we were numbered eighty-five. Forty-two girls with frocks so new, Forty-three boys in their best clothes too, We entered in—late or on time That “peppy” class of 1-9-2-9. We first, our schedule did prepare With much trouble and without much care. With pushing and scrambling and shouting about, We’d enter a room and then find out ’Twas not our class; so out we’d rush With downcast eyes and face ablush. Up stairs, then down, and at last discover Our proper place when that class was over. But after a while we soon did learn Where to go and where to turn. Lessons to get? Those we’d prepare. Athletes needed? We gave our share. We had some parties and lots of fun, “A good time was had by every one.” Now our Freshman work is nearly o’er This year will pass and come no more.

These boys have won their letters which is symbolic of faithful and earnest work in one or more of the three branches of athletics sponsored by the school. The purpose of the organization is to encourage and promote a better relation between the athletic roll and scholastic department of the High School. With this aim in view the cases of ineligibility have been very few during the present school year and may these results continue in after years. —56— xin Mathematics (Huh The Honorary Mathematics Club was organized December 20, 1925, under the supervision of Miss Barker. The requirement for membership in the club was a grade of B-f (or above) in both Algebra and Geometry. Those who met these requirements and became members were: Hazel Howerth, Hazel Dennis, Geraldine Selby, Mary Fristoe, Es- ther Kimball, Joe Rogers, Earl Patton, Frank Bennett, and Carl Shubert. The Club has enjoyed many social meetings and has done some interesting advanced Mathematical study, which for us will long remain a pleasant memory. Esther Kimball, Pres. Frank Bennett, Vice-Pres.

Surely the guilty person will be very abashed when he or she learns that, Leo Forquer, who represented us in the Annual Spelling Contest, can spell and did spell one hundred of the most outrageous words without making one single mistake. Charles Saunders was our other entry and both boys were prepared for the contest by Miss Jenkins. The contest was conducted in our high school building, March 29, by the County Superintendent, Mrs. Yaw and our Principal, Mr. Morgan, who were assisted by teachers from all parts of the county. There were 20 schools represented and only one of these, our high school, received a grade of one hundred per cent, which entitled us to first place. Crooksville was awarded second and third place in the contest. Oratory Contest Many of us are often perplexed when we are called upon to say a few words before some public gathering, but not so with Clair Everitt who so ably represented the high school in the Oratory Contest. With great dignity and self possession, he delivered Sir Patrick Henry’s address, “American Liberty,” almost as well as that great statesman himself could have done. Clair worked earnestly under the direction of our Public Speaking instructor, Miss Coulter, to perfect his style of discourse as well as his stage presence, and thanks to his diligent efforts, New Lexington was awarded first place unanimously by the judges. This victory was won over six worthy opponents; namely, Crooksville, Junction City, Somerset, Corning, Hemlock, and New Straitsville, who assembled at our City Hall. March 28, under the auspices of the County Superintendent to determine the champion. Winning the Oratory Contest was only one of a great many successful events which helped to make this school year of 1925-26 a very harmonious and beneficial one for our high school. —59— New Lexington High School Song There’s a high school in the southeast Ohio land And we love it, yes, love it well. Every year we gather there a happy band, For we love, yes, we love it well. Everybody comes to see N. L. H. S. ’Tis our own dear high school home, And we never shall forget N. L. H. S. Wheresoever we may roam. Chorus: We are the boys, N. L. H. S. We are the girls, N. L. H. S. We are the boys and girls of sunny old Ohio, We are the boys and girls of sunny old Ohio, Clear and high, ring out the cry, N. L. H. S. Ready all to shout the call, N. L. H. S. Clear the wav, prepare the fray, N. L. H. S. We are marching on to— “V-I-C-T-O-R-Y.” Dear Old High Faithful and true-heart:d. Let us cheer our dear “old High.” We revere her and defend her, And her colors proudly fly. We will stand for her united, Of her deeds we gladly tell; Her colors streaming, Glad faces beaming, So here’s cheer for her that we all love so well. Honors she has taken. On the track and with the ball, May she always rank the highest, May her colors never fall. There’s no other that can match her When her team is on the field; Her boys the fleetest, Her girls the sweetest, Then here’s a cheer for her who ne’er will yield. Chorus: Joyous and ever loyal, Let us boost for our “OLD HIGH,” Let every heart sing, Let every voice ring, There’s no time to grieve or sigh, It’s ever onward our course pursuing, May defeat ne’er our ardor cool, But united we will boost for her, “OUR OLD HIGH SCHOOL.” —60— xingtoni a —61— Football Season for 1925 The football season just past will be recorded in the annals of N. L. H. S. as the greatest season ever experienced by any of its teams. This was made possible by their untiring efforts and grim determination to win. The Team, under the supervision of Mr. Lewis, was well organized. They played a college style of football entirely out of the class of the average high school football team. They were the fastest, hardest hitting combination in the county. The following is a summary of games: Nelsonville, 14; N. L. H. S., 13 Our season was opened very satisfactorily when we played the experienced Nelsonville Eleven. This was a very hard fought game which New Lexington really should have won. The game was lost by an intercepted pass in the last few minutes of play, giving Nelsonville a one point lead. Grandview, 52; N. L. H. S- 0 The one bad defeat of the season. The game was played on the muddiest field imaginable, the ball once floated away in a sea of water. Grandview had us oughtweighed 30 pounds to the man which gave them a very distinct advantage, however, we are offering no alibis. Grandview had a very good team and deserved to win. Junction City, 2; N. L. H. S., 19 In this game the second string men were started for N. L. H. S., the Junction City team being somewhat underestimated. Junction immediately pushed the second team back of their own goal line for a touchback. The first team was rushed in and succeeded in scoring three touchdowns before the final whistle blew. Somerset, 0; N. L. H. S., 81 The game was a complete runaway. N. L. H. S. scored in the first minute and continued to score at their pleasure. Somerset fought hard, and clean but were no match for the much more powerful N. L. H. S. team. Glouster, 0; N. L. H. S.,6 This was a very close game throughout. After repeated penalties New Lexington’s fighting spirit showed itself, and soon completed a pass for a touchdown. Other touchdowns were made but owning to penalties they did not count. New Lexington outplayed Glouster in ever angle of the game and deserved to win by a much larger score. Junction City, 0; N. L. H. S., 20 This was the second game with Junction City and they were very much determined to beat us, and we just as determined to beat them again. The game was much harder fought than the first one, but N. L. H. S. soon proved herself superior and rather easily defeated them. Chauncy, 0; N. L. H. S., 13 To those who do not remember, Chauncy defeated us last year by a small margin, therefore, it being fresh in the minds of the team, they were out for revenge. Chauncy was tough opposition but N. L. H. S. came through and won, but in doing so lost Hummel, our fullback, for the next two games which seriously handicapped us, as is shown by their scores. Crooksville, 14; N. L. H. S., 0 The first of a series of two games played with Crooksville every year. Crooksville is our ancient enemy in any athletic event and rivalry is very keen. Our team seemed to lose its snap and pep without Hummel, and the whole backfield was thrown out of time. We fought hard but were defeated on two intercepted passes. We were terribly disappointed, but our chance was to come again Thanksgiving Day. We thought of nothing but to “Beat Crooksville.” Murray City, 0; N. L. H. S., 0 Murray City, the home town of our coach, Mr. Lewis, was very anxious to beat us, and we were very anxious to beat them. However, we must not have been any more anxious than they were, as the game ended at a nothing, nothing, tie. This was the first game with any Murray City team but hostilities will probably be resumed next year. Crooksville. 0; N. L. H. S„ 20 The last game of the season was at hand and excitement ran high in New Lexington. It was the last game for Capt. O’Hare, Hummel, Wolfe, Weiland, Welch and Nash, and they were prepared to give everything they had for N. L. H. S. The game started off with a bang and continued to be a slam-bang affair from start to finish. N. L. If. S. had her fighting spirit up, and they completely outclassed Crooksville in every department of the game. It was the toughest game of the year, but N. L. H. S. emerged victorious, thereby winning the Championship of Perry County. The team covered itself with glory, and plenty of it was showered upon them by admiring classmates. Who said revenge wasn’t sweet? MURILL HUMMEL. —63— xingtomaii e Donald O’Hare, Capt. L. E. This was “Don’s” third year in football. He is all a school could wish as a captain. Always faithful to practice, and observing training rules. His football ability was shown in the able manner in which he played a position as end and at no time was he lax in his duty. Wayne Wolfe, R. H. This was Dizz’s first year at halfback, but he soon proved himself to be of unlimited value to the team. Without a doubt he was one of the speediest halfbacks in this section of the country. Murill Hummel, F. B. Fullback Hummel, was always called on when a gain was needed and usually came through with more than expected. It was a pleasure to see him and his running mate, “Dizz,” in action. To the school’s loss, “Hummel” is leaving us this year. Joe Weiland, Q. B. “Joe” was our quarterback this year and showed his ability by finding the enemy’s weakness. He could usually be depended upon to gain ground. Also he was a good punter. Pearl Reichley, Q. B. Perk being small but mighty, made a good showing in the backfield as quarterback. Perk has another year with the team and he will probably be one of its mainstays. Donald Black, H. B. Don played halfback and was of great value to the team. He was good on end runs. We will have the pleasure of seeing Don work another season. Cecil Shackelford, H. B. “Shack” was a new man this year but he worked hard and had the fighting spirit with the result that he was in his share of games. He made more than good at halfback. George McDonald, R. E. George played end this year and played it so well that he was elected captain for next season. We hope George will have a “Blue Ribbon” team next year and we are certain that he will do his part toward that end. Elliot Welch, C. Welshie played center which he did in good manner. Much credit should be given to him for passing the ball at the right time and holding his opponent out, which he always did. Charles Hayden, R. T. It was seldom that any play got around “Chuck.” He could always be depended upon to open a hole in the best “stone wall” that was put in front of him. He will be back with the team next year. Dave Kennedy, L. T. Dave, being big and heavy, usually stopped anybody coming his way. He had a fighting spirit from start to finish, which helped to win many a game. Oliver Haffler, R. G. “Fat” wTas a running mate to Dave, and being tough, hard, and fighty made his opponents feel like they were a mere nothing. We are depending on “Fat” to be the big “go” next year. James Davidson, R. T. Jim played tackle most of this season and made good. He was steady and always a good fighter. He was a hard tackier and wasn’t afraid to “try his luck.” Cletus Nash, R. G. This was “Jake’s” first year and he helped the team through to many victories. He was very good at blocking punts. This was his last year. Homer Dusenbury, R. E. Although “Dusey” came here the latter part of the season, he proved himself a very valuable member to the team. We expect big things of Dusey next year, as he is only a Junior this year. Thorla Cannon, E. T. “Shotgun” was all that his name implies. He was never lacking in nerve and was always fighting, whether the team was winning or losing. Rex Allen, L. E. Although “Wrecks” did not hold a regular position he very ably filled the place of either end or halfback. He will be with us again next year, and we expect him to star at halfback. —65— MURILL HUMMEL. xingtoniati Varsity Ikiskclball S(|iia l Moxahala 14; N. L. 24 Dec 11 Nelsonville .... 33; N.

The practice games, however, soon proved that we had nothing to fear in regard to lack of material. Coach Lewis’ call for volunteers was well answered when nearly twenty players appeared to try out for the squad. You can see by the scores that this was one of the most successful seasons that Gold and Black has ever had. Donald O’Hare Donald O’Hare, captain of the team, and playing a forward position, was one of the main stays of the team. Faithful in training and in loyalty to his teammates he was an ideal player after which to pattern. His three years’ experience, coupled with a cool head, an excellent eye, both at basket and foul shooting, and an unconquerable determination to win, helped to turn many defeats into victories. Cecil Schackelford Shack, playing a forward position as running mate to Don, developed more than any other individual on the squad. To Shack goes the credit of doing the unexpected at the right time. He was an excellent shot, a fine floor worker and a veritable “thief” in getting possession of the ball. Murill Hummel Murill, will always remain in the minds of those who watched his work as one of the best centers who ever wore the Gold and Black uniform. Playing the pivot position he seldom met his superior at the toss-up. Early in the season he was placed as the center man on the five man defense and proved himself a tower of strength at this position. Jay McMahon To appreciate “Jay” one must see him in action. Quick to act and possessing a wonderful speed of hand and foot he makes an ideal stationary guard. The wonderful fighting spirit which he displayed in all of his play is the kind that makes a successful team. Wayne Wolfe To Wayne, was given the hard task of playing a stationary guard position w’hich he did in excellent style. It would be hard to imagine the team without him. Rather deliberate in action and always sure of himself he was found at the right place at the right time. Homer Dusenbery Homer’s regular position is forward, but he was shifted to the running guard position and made good. No one was ever more determined to win than Homer. We are glad to note that he will be with us two mors years. ELLIOT WELCH, PEARL REICHLEY, DONALD BLACK. Due to the extremely close scores which characterized the games this season, especially those played at home, there was little chance to make many substitutions. However, when substitutions were necessary these players were always ready to answer the call. Perk and Don will be heard from next year. To the school’s loss “Elliot” graduates this year. A Word From the Coach If there w as one thing more than any other which contributed to the success of the basketball team this year it was the splendid attitude and spirit shown by the members of the squad. Neither five boys nor five girls can make a winning team and due credit should be given those who were not fortunate enough to get to play in the games, but who put the regulars in shape by playing against them in practice. A coach could not ask for better material or better cooperation than was given this year and it was a keen pleasure to see him work with the players.

Besides the regulars, good material was developed for next year by Mr. Fred O’Hara, who helped get the others in shape. They were successful throughout the season and in the preliminaries of the County Tournament, and met Crooksville in the finals. Although all they had was put forth in this game, Crooksville’s team, which was much experienced, was victorious. With access to the new high school and gymnasium, which will be ready in the fall of 1926, next year’s team has a bright outlook. Anne Holden “Pete,” captain, playing forward position, was the backbone of the team. Always faithful to the team and a good sport in all games. She set a good example for the other players by her loyalty. Mabel Randolph “Grange,” an equally capable forward deserves much mention. She was an excellent shot and brought victory to her team many times. Dorothy Paxlon “Bozo” being the very tallest center in the county had little trouble in getting the bat off from any of her opponents. She was the center of attraction of our team and always played her part in the game. Grace Paskell “Bill,” our running guard was always on the alert watching every move of her adversary in order to check her in time. Besides being a good guard, “Bill” was an excellent long shot. Elizabeth Hummel “Don” was our back guard and very few passed between her basket. She was considered one of the best guards in the county and her fighting spirit was unexcelled. Pickle Stowe “Beany,” both a good guard and excellent center. She played with unsurpassed ability in any position given her. Mention should be made, she sat only once on the ball this year.

It’s particular function, however, is to arrange for the partial financing of high school athletics; the board for 1925-1926 following the precedent of other years, early began a membership drive for the Student Athletic Association. The returns from this successful campaign added to the amount obtained from the sale of booster tickets among the townspeople represented a most satisfactory sum. The board has been untiring in its efforts and has willingly undertaken all that has been assigned them to do. Its members were Mary Greene and Clair Everitt, Seniors, Edna Minturn and Harold Rockwell, Juniors; Joe Rodgers, Sophomore, and Clinton Treadway, Freshman.

Those who participated in the required twenty quarters which entitled them to wear the coveted Orange and Black N.

As an especial treat Mr. Edward Hess, guard on the Ohio State University football team and who had the honor of being chosen as a member of the All-American football squad, and Mr. Marty Karow, captain-elect of Ohio State’s team were present and gave the boys the most interesting talk on football tactics. Mr. Higley, Mr. Morgan and Coach Lewis also addressed a few remarks to the boys. After the banquet a dance was given at the Elks’ hall which was very tastefully decorated for the occasion. All members of the high school were invited and their appreciation of the success of the team was shown by their attendance. Basketball Banquet The annual banquet for the Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball teams was given by Mrs. T. J. Weiland at her home on High street, March the ninth. She was assisted by the faculty and a few other members of N. L. H. S. The tables were attractively decorated in the high school colors, orange and black with centerpieces of Jonquils. Much amusement was evinced over the place cards, each of which identified its owner by an appropriate verse. After the dinner the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing, singing and playing games. In addition to the two teams whose members were: Ann Holden, Eliza- beth Hummel, Dorthy Paxton, Grace Paskell, Emma Stowe, Uldena Stowe, Ester Kimball, Mabel Randolph; boys, Joe Weiland, Murill Hummel, Don O’Hara, Cecil Shackelford, Wayne Wolfe, Pearl Reichley, Jay McMahon, Elliot Welch, Donald Black, Mr. Higley, Mr. Morgan, Coach Lewis and Coach O’Hara were present. —76— • 4. • 5 53 xingto mat —77— Senior Directory I am—Ruth Anthony.

A Freshman is a person who gives the rest of school its physical training. A Freshman is a creature who is so low that he can walk under a radiator wearing a plug hat. A boy is a Freshman when he is old enough to go without garters. A Freshman is a pore thing from the open spaces, learning to pour things in great open faces. A Freshman is a school person who is four years too young. A Freshman is a campus chameleon; starts out green, turns black and blue, and finally takes the colors of his school. —88— xin(Jtoniany«Xrs THE HIGH SCHOOL As It Looks to the Visitor in the Halls Superintendent...............Uldena Stowe Principal....................Paul Spurgeon Dean of Boys.................Pete Forquer Dean of Girls ................Inez Everitt Professor of Latin....................Alice Proper Professor of Physics.........

I went out in the woods and saw a tree full of crows. I took careful aim and fired. I missed all the crows but the bullet split a limb on which twenty crows were sitting. When the limb sprung back together it caught the crows by the feet and held them there. I went home and got a saw and sawed the limb off and carried the crows home.” Harry: “That’s nothing, why one day I took my old rusty gun and—” Thorla: “You mean your old trusty gun, not rusty gun.” Harry: “Have you ever seen my gun?” Thorla: “No.” Harry: “Well it is a rusty gun. I was going through a field when 150 ducks flew up on one side of me. I was just taking aim when 150 partridges flew up on the other side of me. I decided I wanted partridges instead of ducks so I was just taking aim on them when a deer jumped up in front of me. I decided I wanted deer meat instead of partridges so I was just taking aim on it when a rattle snake about 9 1-2 feet long jumped up about 10 feet in front of me. I was so scared that I dropped the gun and it exploded and one barrel went to one side and killed the 150 ducks and the other went on the other side and killed the 150 partridges and the bullet went straight ahead and killed the deer, and the ramrod went down the snake’s neck and the stock came backwards and knocked me into the lake and when I came up my shoes were full of fish.” Jake N.: Joe made a new record for the 100-yard dash yesterday.

Glowing tender eyes Asked for me, and got me. —CHUCK S. Wifie: John, Marriage is a fifty-fifty proposition. John: Sure, fifty for a new hat, fifty for a new coat, fifty for sock sock sock—exit. Watson to Freshman: You may be a boon to your mother, but you’re just a baboon to me! Chuck S.: I had no idea you would become engaged to Peggy. John W.: Neither did I. It was hers. Ruth F.: Do you love me dear? Joe Rodgers: Dearly, sweetheart. Ruth: Would you die for me? Joe: Why, no, my pet; mine is an undying love. Watson: Young man, leave the room. Perk R.: Where’ll I leave it, sir? Miss Potter: Don’t you like my looks better with my hair bobbed? Lew: Whatcha doin’ fishin’ for compli- ments? Bessie: I never fish in shallow water. When some big Prune, The son of a Nut, Marries a Lemon, And the Pear, Have a Peach for a daughter, With Cherry lips, And Roses in her cheeks, How in the devil Can you believe in Heredity. Watson: Edwin, what is the Latin word for wine? Edwin G.: Vinum. Watson: Decline it. Edwin: No! I never decline a drink. My little Florence Has four little sins, Two little eyes, Two little shins. DON BOWERS. Wayne Wolfe—I got a basket-ball nose. Murill H.—How’s that? Wayne—It dribbles. Miss Jenkins—Why did Hawthorne name one of his novels, The Scarlet Letter? Herb Brickies—I dunno unless he wanted it to be read. John C.—How come I got “F” in History this six weeks ? Weiser—Because I don’t give any lower grades than that. —92— New Lexington High School Alumni CLASS OF 1877 Robert E. Kelley, Columbus, Ohio. Joseph W. Dusenberry, Columbus, Ohio. J. S.
