LEXINGTON I AN TO MISS MIRIAM POWELL Our Adviser, Our Teacher, and Our Friend, We Lovingly Dedicate the Lexingtonian, 1927 Six - LEXINGTON I AN MR. T. W. MORGAN Because of His Friendship, Because of His Loyalty, Because of His Care of Us Through Our High School Career We Offer (o “Tom” Our Deepest Appreciation Seven LEXINGTONIAN Foreword I am the Lexingtonian, the mascot of the New Lexington High School. I bring good luck with me. While the entire student body is my friend, this year my special interest is in the Class of 1927. You will notice, perhaps, that I abhor courses of study, schedules of recitations, rules and regulations that are the special delight of the necessary, but often troublesome faculty, and that I devote almost all my pages to the interests of the student body, their organizations, the lighter side of their life as well as their trials and tribulations. When the hair on your brow is white and you sit by the fireside with a grandchild on each knee, entertaining them with tales of the happy days at New Lexington High School, may the stories of your regular and prompt attendance at classes, your high grades, and your school loyalty, be a great incentive to them to follow in your steps.

RIDENOUR. Clerk We, the class of 1927, appreciate very much the work of the School Board of 1926-27. The members of this board are very efficient, which fact has been proven by their cooperation and support given to us during the year. They have shown their skill in their selection of a very talented and apt faculty, and they have always had an interest in all school affairs. Twelve LEX I NOTON I AN FACULTY Thirteen LEXINGTON!

HOMAGE—To their high ideals. APPRECIATION—For their tireless and persistent efforts for us. GRATITUDE—For the many opportunities opened to us Are the sentiments of the Class of 1927 MR. SWARTZ—Under our Superintendent’s guidance the school has shown a splendid growth. His never-tiring efforts to assist every student with whom he comes in contact and the sympathetic, cooperative attitude with which he meets their needs, win for him the admiration and love of all the students of N. L. H. S. MR. MORGAN—Our Principal’s efforts in raising the standard of the school have been successful to a high degree. The students have found him to be an inspiring leader, a wise counsellor and a true friend. He is always very much interested in student activities and was instrumental in the formation of many worth-while organizations that have asserted a good influence for our school. MISS POWELL—As counselor and friend, Miss Powell, has been one of the stepping stones to the graduating class. Words fail us in expressing our appreciation of her loyalty and inspiring influence. She shall hold forever a place in our hearts not only as a teacher, but as a friend. MISS BARKER—To say of a teacher that she has entire respect and confidence of her students, who have seen her tested in many ways, is to pay her high honor. This can be said of Miss Barker. MISS POTTER—Her greatest success this year has been with the library which is under her direction. She has a place reserved in the memory of the class of twenty-seven. MISS JENKINS—This class is deeply indebted to Miss Jenkins for the interest she has taken in it. There has never been a time when she was not ready and willing to do anything for any of us. MISS GOELLER—Girls’ athletics had their real beginning under the able coaching of Miss Goeller. Although her first year she has been successful in aiding us to absorb a great amount of Commercial work. MR. FOWLER—Mr. Fowler is a lover of hard, earnest work and endeavor, a splendid example for his pupils. His persistent effort in maintaining a high standard in athletics has achieved fame for our school. MISS SOUTHARD—Her line is Latin and she certainly knows how to teach it. There is no noun or verb incorrectly inflected that escapes her notice. The class is grateful for what she has done for them. MR. HUTCHESON—Mr. Hutcheson is another faculty man who is very popular among all students. He has encouraged and supported athletics much in our school. MR. MURPHY—We seniors do not know Mr. Murphy very well, for his work is nearly all confined to the other classes, but we know him well enough to think a great deal of him and wish him success always. MISS WINTERS—We are very grateful to Miss Winters for her many kindnesses and patience displayed at all times and earnestly hope that she will be returned here next year. MISS GLADYS JONES—Her devotion to her work and her loyalty to the school characterizes her life here. Success to you, Miss Jones. MISS DRURY—Her years of service with the school are marked by accomplishments that can be attained only by absolute fidelity to a profession. MISS O’DONNEL—The whole-hearted and enthusiastic manner in which she performs her duties wins for her the respect of both faculty and student body alike. MISS WALTERS—Although Miss Walters was with us only a very short time acting as substitute for Miss O’Donnell, she proved her ability as an efficient teacher. MISS MARY LOUISE JONES—“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything.”—Plato. Miss Jones possesses those qualities and technique that spell success. Eighteen LEXINGTON IAN Nineteen I !

We’ve been climbing up a ladder That never needs a prop, Though some of us have lagged behind, We’ve almost reached the top. Now we Seniors are almost ready To leave this school behind, And pursue some occupation And then our fortunes find. We must not forget the Juniors Who know the time is nigh When they will be the Seniors Of dear old New Lex High. There’s another thing we must remember, About our school, you know, Each one must do his very best To make its spirit grow. And now that we are leaving, We bid our school adieu, And hope the other classes Will wish us good luck too. MARY LOU NEWMAN. Twenty-nine LEXINGTON! AN Senior Class History OFFICERS President.........................Pearl Robinson Vice President.........................Irol Berg Secretary........................Harold Rockwell Treasurer ........................Clarice Adams Class Colors—Scarlet and Gray Motto—Do or Die Flower—Tea Rose In the autumn of 1923, there assembled in the spacious halls of dear old N. L. H. S. seventy-five ambitious young students. Although timidity and humility were the marked idiosyncrasies engraved on each countenance, these soon vanished as we became familiar with school routine. To achieve fame and honor was our determination, and our desires became realities with prominence in organizations and school activities—namely, the Periscope Staff and Athletic Advisory Committee. Along musical lines our contribution to the orchestra, glee club, music memory team, and county music contest were sufficient to assure our “superiors” that we were little more than “insignificant freshies.” At last the trials of our freshman year were o’er and everyone was anxiously looking forward to vacation time. “Superior Sophomores.” The green tinge had faded away and we no longer must bear that odious trade-mark. We have diminished in number to sixty-three, but our zeal has been greatly augmented. During this year we have laboriously struggled through Caesar, Geometry and other “snap” subjects, for we were ever striving to attain a high scholastic record. Again we contributed to the musical talent of N. L. H. S. Many from our midst have entered athletics, and are rapidly gaining a name for themselves in football, basketball and track. And now fifty-five ardent personages have registered as Juniors. Successfully having withstood all the hardships of a studious career, we again resumed our school labors. With great celerity our illustrious class rose to eminence chiefly in music, athletics, social events, and school enterprises. Entering society, the Junior girls gave the annual football banquet and dance which was a decided success. At last we are Seniors! Upon our entrance into N. L. H. S. in ’23 it seemed an intermin- Thirty LEXINGTONIAN able period before we would rank as dignified Seniors. This year marks the first in county orchestra and band in which we are amply represented. Representation in all other school activities mentioned above has been entered into wholeheartedly by Seniors. And now it seems just like a dream—as if some fairy with her magic wand had constructed a magnificent new edifice for us. Our class has been the first to complete the entire school term in the new building. To our past Superintendent, Mr. Higley, his successor, Mr. Swartz, Principal, Mr. Morgan, Faculty, and Class Counselor, Miriam Powell, we, the class of ’27, wish to express our appreciation for their untiring efforts in making our school career a success. With the completion of a brief epitome of our high school days, the class of ’27 sincerely hope that we will be numbered among the lists of worthy alumni. KATHLEEN CONAWAY. Thirty-one LEXINGTON I AN Senior Class Prophecy Days of desolation, days of mirth, make up a life time. The noiseless foot of time steals o’er we can effect it. Time, a genius with its ability entangles, intermingles, the lives of men, it surges in and out like the waves of the ocean. Let us dwell upon the days when time brought mirth to all. Then as we glide out into swifter stream, to some it brings loneliness, to others mirth. Where will the ever-widening course lead us to? My mythical mind portrays the pathways of the great and glorious as the lode-stone for the disciples of the Class of ’27. Success gifted “Perk” Robinson, our class president, who is now sole manager of the Western Union. Perk never admitted defeat and every one knew that he would make good. Robert Fitzer after going through Harvard began to practice law. We know that “Nick” has a great ability to argue and that no doubt will reach his goal. We all thought that all Dwight Bell was able to do was laugh. But after going to an electrical college in Chicago “Dite” is now an electrician for the “Sears-Roebuck” Radio Station. Rebecca Watkins our little girl who is always laughing and has an answer for every question asked her, is now teaching a class at O. S. U. Proving that “Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow,” we wish her success. The only one of our class who had his heart set for farming was Harold Rockwell who now operates a large wheat ranch in Minnesota. If you ever go to Columbus stop in at the Neil House Restaurant, for there you will see a real surprise. Three of our class of ’27, stand there daily with their lily white aprons, and “dish hash.” Who can it be? No one but John Saunders, “Dottie” Teal, and Ruth Davis. “Fat” Haffler, the “pep and cut-up of our class,” has become a great cartoonist and he is employed by the great pattern company, The Butterick. John Kelso and Ruth Manspeaker have a large law office in Chicago, where they are sending every one “over the road.” They are known as the “Kelso-Manspeaker Law Firm.” Their reputation extends far and wide. “Perk” Reichley has developed into a man that America boasts about. He is known to the world as an all-around athlete, and excells in those sports that he first started at N. L. H. S. Isabelle Hoy, who was our shorthand and typing expert, has secured a position in the State Senate as clerk. She is the first lady clerk since “Woman Suffrage” has come into existence. Evelyn Nichols now is playing in a musical comedy under the name of “Edith Day.” We must remember that she was one of our favorites. Edith is making quite a hit in the theatrical world and we hope some day to see her at her best. You haven’t forgotten Margaret McGarvey have you? You must remember it was always Marg’s aim to grab some good-looking fellow, but she hasn’t gotten him. She is now working in New Straitsville in a millinery shop. Due to her tact in vamping the men, it is reported that she is selling hats by the dozen to the men. Santa Fe Brown, who ranks first in the line of stubbornness as well as that of typing, has changed her aim and is now a lady demonstrator of cars for the Star Motor Co. Irol Berg has a future before her, one in which she need never worry about the rainy day, for Irol is head lady of all clerical work done by ladies and girls at Congressional Building, Washington, D. C. LEXINGTONIAN Carl Duffy who would never pass or deliver a decision on anything, or anyone, was a second Socrates. Carl is now known as “Dr. Carl Edward Duffy,” tonsil surgeon at “The Good Samaritan.” Grace Burroughs was another victim of matrimony. She, I knew, could never resist man’s ways. In her school days men were the least of her thoughts. Grace now lives in a nice bungalow in Oakland, California. Ernest Ward, you must remember was always at home at the steering wheel. He has confiscated Milton’s record and is always in readiness to defend it. Judge James Davidson of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, in his thirtieth year as judge, has eliminated the word “obey” from marriage ceremonies. “It’s the bunk to make people swear to do what they won’t,” says the Judge. Doug Black and Kate Conaway, were united in marriage and are traveling around the world in a private yacht, stopping at the largest cities. Kate is trying to sing and Doug is trying to make the piano do likewise. The reports are that they were last heard in Bristol. Ruth Bozman was seen with Florenz Zieg-feld and his chorus. The audience weeps as she warbles her favorite song, “Baby Face.” Margaret Anders is selling tickets for the “Strand Theatre” in New York. Clarice Adams another one of our singers (of which the Seniors can boast of many) is studying in Europe, striving to accomplish the feat of trilling. Heinz’s baked beans may be purchased from Wade Kimball at any Kroger Grocery Store. Harold Kaufman and Mildred Larimer are the breeders of prize Jersey Cows in Perry County. Mae Koehler makes ten stump speeches daily telling the country the good of the W. C. T. U. Standford Goodin as Sheriff of his county, captured two large stills near the vicinity of Clay-Bank. Don Black is coaching Yale’s athletic teams, and so far they have never been defeated. Clara Catchpole is selling gasoline by the bushels on the National Pike, while her male supporter diligently makes new cars out of old ones. The sign which overhangs the front veranda reads: “Ward’s Racket Works.” The Seamens haven’t ceased in existence as yet. Sam owns one-half of New Lexington and a large ice plant. Jim Van Atta turned out to be a well known author. They say his style of writing is identical with Joseph Conrad. A set of his books may be obtained by buying a subscription of the New Lexington Tribune. Alfred Preest operates a proof picture machine for Mack Sennett Comedy Girls. Ednie Minturn is “cutting the buck,” and also hair for the boys back in our old hometown. Warren Mcllvoy is a farmer in the day time and at night plays his fiddle for songs which are on the other side of phonograph records. None other hands us our postal cards than Florence Wolfe in the village of Goston. Bernice Tague fashions the models for the present Irene Castle, in Paris. Mary Lou Newman and Lillian Spitzer have a joint ownership of a new trolley line. Mary Lou sits at the wheel while Lilly punches tickets. Both are in uniform since they have been raised in postions. There remains one slight error in their uniforms. Mary’s swallow-tailed coat has one button, while Lilly’s has none. Audrey Wilson certainly has stepped out in the political world. He was recently elect- Thirty-three LEXINGTONIAN ed to the high office of “dog-catcher.” We wish him all the success in the world. The last bill in the legislature was passed, ordering the highway department to move Bremen closer to New Lex that Chuck Hayden will be able to return to his home on Sunday nights. “Zel” Kennedy has finally given up hope of ever becoming great. It was once thought she would be Pavalowa’s successor. Now she has purchased a “New Idea,” and is taking in washings. Joe Weiland is beautifully situated in the midst of a beautiful blonde harem in Utah. His attentions seem to be equally distributed except for one. It is reported that the one sole brunette, formerly of Somerset, is taking all of the “Notorious Bluebeard’s” time. george McDonald. Thirty-four LEXINGTONIAN Last Will and Testament As our life in dear old New Lex Hi is swiftly drawing to a close, we, the Class of 1927, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby making null and void all former wills or promises made, or carelessly spoken, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As to such a state as it has pleased the fates and our own strong hands and minds to gain for us, we dispose of the same as follows : We give and bequeath to our dear faculty much appreciation for the trouble they have taken to fit us for the higher sphere of education. Mr. Morgan especially we wish to thank for the patience with which he has endured our blunders for the past four years. To the juniors we do bequeath all the Senior dignity, knowledge and good times. May they profit by the experiences of the Seniors and be worthy to step into this honored place. To the Sophomores we heartily give our ability of vamping teachers and getting by. To the Freshmen we leave three years of honest toil and hardships. Individual bequests are as follows: Ernie Hiller wills his ability to play the trombone to Carl David. “Nick” Fitzer wills his ability to argue in class to Robert Weller. Edna Minturn and Doug Black will to some unfortunate Juniors their positions as Editors of this book. Carl Duffy wills his art of Oratory to Lewis Link. Ruth Bozman wills to some Junior the chewing gum under her seat. Lillian Spitzer and Warren Mcllvoy be- queath their Overland to Dorothy Sycks and “Pin” Saunders. Bernice Tague and Sam Seaman will a bunch af garlic to “Jo” Zimmers and George Ellis. Doris Teal and Jim Van Atta leave their slimness to Cecelia Nash and Elbert Hull. Mary Lou Newman and Harold Rockwell will their art of ministry to Sara Kildow and Eugene Murray. Zelma Kennedy and Vincent Smith leave their directions in full of the art of roller skating to anyone who wishes to learn. Florence Wolfe leaves her position on the staff in begging ads to any Junior. John Saunders bequeaths one package of life savers to John Wilder. Audrey Wilson bequeaths his perfect smile to Louise Kiener. “Ernie” Ward wills his knowledge of the A. B. C.’s. Perk Reichley wills his wizard-like pool-table expertness to Chuck Saunders. Rebecca Watkins bequeaths her red hair to Estelle Shumaker. Mildred Larimer wills and bequeaths herself to some good looking member of the class upon graduation. Fat Haffler wills his artistic talent to Joe Rogers. Wade Kimball gives his dog “Beans” to Katie Sweeny. Perk Robinson, our President, wills to Earl Hazlett his honorable position. Harold Kaufman leaves his lunch box to Ralph Sands. Thirty-five LEXINGTON!AN Marg McGarvey wills her ability as cheer leader to Ned Holden. Santa Fe Brown wills her ability to make love (to George) to Geraldine Selby. Evelyn Nichols bequeaths her ability as a basketball star to Mildred Paxton. Ruth Manspeaker and John Kelso will their daily rides to and from school to Isadore Longstreth and Rex Allen. Grace Burroughs wills her (good looking) picture to Winnie Elswick. Margaret Anders and Alf Preest bequeath their art of movie directing to Charles King and Isabelle Huston. Clarice Adams and Dwight Bell will their dancing slippers to Hazel Howerth and Paul Bland. Don Black wills his leather sheepskin to some Junior. (I wonder who?) Irol Berg gives her vocal talent of religious songs to Ruth Fitzer. Clara Catchpole wills her ability of swiping things from the Domestic Science room to any Junior. Kathleen Conaway leaves her date nights to Irene Randolph. Jim Davidson bequeaths his capable position in the orchestra to some Junior who will come to practice. George McDonald wills his Santa Fe to any one who can get her.

What an altogether delightful and comfortable state in which to be. Far above the trials and tribulations that beset the infant Freshmen and the juvenile Sophomores—not yet borne down by the cares and responsibilities attendant upon age and seniority—the Juniors pursue a happy carefree course, and, with prodigious precocity, “Know what it’s all about.” As Freshmen with commendable perspicuity, we looked about us, learned what was proper to do and did it. We elected as class officers: Rex Allen, President; Charles Saunders, Vice President; John Wilder, Secretary; Joe Rodgers, Treasurer. We lived through the horrors of learning and singing for the entertainment of the upper classmen, the high school songs. We participated in the various activities of school life. Our scholastic rating—but the least said of that the better. With a new feeling of importance and with not a little swagger we entered upon our second year at N. L. H. S. We plunged into the social whirl, engaged in a weiner roast and “threw” a big dance which was conspicuous for its music and lack of refreshments. Again we gave our share of representatives to high school activities; all this under the administration of Josephine Zimmer, President; Rex Allen, Vice President; Hazel Howerth, Treasurer; Earl Hazlett, Secretary. And then we became Juniors—that blissful and delirious state aforementioned—accord ing to custom we elected officers: Earl Hazlett, President; Rex Allen, Vice President; Joe Rodgers, Secretary; Charles Saunders, Treasurer. We indulged in our annual weiner roast as our first social bow. The traditional football banquet and dance given by the Junior girls in honor of the team, was our next venture. As our contribution to the series of entertainments provided for the Friday assembly we presented our impression of a vaudeville performance. From an all star cast it is hard to select a headliner but the Enelle Chess Orchestra and G. Itsawizz proved more than popular. A part of the football team was made up of Junior material. Five members of the N. L. H. S. Girls’ Basketball team are Juniors; while three of the Junior boys are regulars on the boys’ team. In glee club and orchestra we are well represented. Eight members have been chosen because of scholarship as members of the Mathematics Club. One might enumerate our merits indefinitely but it is far more seemly to be modest, for, whatever work we do, whatever of good we are individually, merges always into the general good and glory of our school— nor for Juniors, but for N.

In all branches of school organization I have a great deal to do and say. In the orchestra I am represented by five persons. Then in the High School Band I claim three of the number. There are also many of my members belonging to the Glee Clubs. The spectators at a basketball game behold me for the main part, since I have six players from my group upon the squad, and generally my remainder is sitting on the benches rooting for the team. From my number I can boast of five football players. I also hold a large membership in the Home Economics Club. Seven of my parts survived through the terrible Geometry-Algebra plague and received high grades to become members of the Honorary Mathematics Club. Anyone who has had the pleasure of glancing upon a few of my students will readily admit that I have it over the rest of the classes for intelligent looking students. Of course there are one or two brilliant students in each class, but mine has the majority. And so, after this long exposition on my merits, you understand that my force and power is no mere brag. It is the power that grows to be a great influence for good. I may say that when my members go out into the world, those same influences for good will continue to increase until they are like the sands of the desert and the pebbles of the sea shore.

L. H. S. a group of brilliant and enthusiastic Freshmen. Of course we were regarded as being green, but this timidity disappeared and the Freshmen became ardent workers of the school. One of the first things we were asked to do was to stand and sing “The Old High School Song”; sorry to say this was a failure, as we could not keep together for some reason, thereby giving the upper class men their first chance to razz us. By the end of the first month we had elected our class officers: President, Ned Holden; Vice President, James Hayden; Secretary, George Weiland; Treasurer, Virgil Houk. The members of our class have been very prominent in school activities this year. In athletics “Verg” Houk, Ned Minaugh, George Rogers and Ned Holden have done their best. “Marg” Hummel has worked her way on the Basketball team, being the only Freshman girl on the team. We also have Naomi Underwood, Pauline Adams, Carl David and Robert Weller in the orchestra. So far only one club has been organized, that is the Home Economics Club, under the supervision of Miss Winters. Of course all members are fine cooks(?). We held two weiner roasts this year. Naturally a good time was had by all who attended. Now the students of the Freshman Class are all looking forward to the time when we shall receive the title of Sophomores.

We were the first eighth graders to be housed in the new building; the first eighth grade pupils in New Lexington to be classed as Junior High students. The eighth grade students this year have been joyous, happy, and hard working. Many interesting and educational events are to be noted during this term. Among the first of these events was a weiner roast conducted one autumn evening in October near the Arethusa Spring. This party was conducted under the leadership, and chaperoned by Miss Drury. It was a marked success, and was appreciated by the large number of pupils in attendance. The Welfare Club was organized the first of the year, nineteen twenty-six under the direction of Miss Drury, teacher of English in seventh and eighth grades. During the meeting which at first was held every Friday afternoon and later every two weeks on the same day, fifteen minutes is set aside for business and a half hour for program. Under the business meeting all old and new business is brought up before the president and discussed, the minutes are read by the secretary, monthly dues of five cents is paid by each pupil and a report of the money in the treasury is made at each meeting, also the reading of a paper entitled “The Welfare Weekly.” A few cheers are given with the help of a cheer leader. The program is then turned over to the secretary. The purpose of the “Welfare Club” is to assist in making the school better in every possible way. The Dramatic work that the eighth grade has done was usually in the club. Every pupil of this grade has taken part in our programs some time during the year. Many of the pupils have written plays and dramatized them for our class. Some of our class-mates have taken part in an operetta “The Toy Pageant.” This was presented by Miss Jones. We have helped the Parent-Teachers’ Association programs and also have given an eighth grade chapel exercise. On Friday, February twenty-fifth, nineteen twenty-six, the chapel service, conducted by the eighth grade was held and was very successful. Among the important organizations of Junior High School is the Junior High Basketball team, which was organized under the direction of Mr. Hutcheson. The team is made up of boys from the seventh, eighth, and ninth years whose grades come up to the standard. These boys are to be praised, having won six out of seven victories. The school has started a class in Journalism in which a reporter for each class puts the school news in the Perry County Tribune. The eighth grade reporter is Mary Margaret Yaw. The school had a popularity contest in which the eighth grade took part. The winners receive recognition in the Lexingtonian. We shall always hold dear to our memory the faculty which were so keenly interested in our welfare and it is our ambition to attain positions in life that will be an honor to them and a satisfaction to ourselves.

The first few days nothing went right. We rushed through the halls and succeeded in getting in people’s way. However, we soon were over the hard places and with our teachers to help us and Mr. Morgan, our principal and friend, to advise us we settled down to regular school life. At the third chapel exercise we proved our ability in singing the Old High School Song. Miss O’Donnell, one of our teachers, was ill at the time school started. Not until three months later did we have the pleasure of getting acquainted with her. During her illness. Miss Maude Walters substituted. When the basketball season opened we were only too proud to have two of our boys on the Junior High Team. They were Alfred Colborn, forward, and Fred Trout, guard. As a part of our English work we have organized a “Boosters Club” which meets weekly in the High School auditorium and gives a literary program. Miss Drury, our English teacher, is our leader in this work. Robert Acker and Kathryn Lucas are our cheer leaders in this club and they also lead us in cheers at the games. We are now on the verge of our second year in Junior High School. If our efforts seem small just give us a chance—we’ll show you.

Coach Sixty-one LEXINGTON I AN Football Under the tutelage of Coach Fowler, New Lexington was successful in placing a team on the gridiron which earned a reputation all through the county for clean, hard playing. The fact that thirty men answered roll call made prospects seem bright for N. L. H. S. The first game of the season was played with New Straitsville. This game showed the mettle of our men to a good advantage. New Straitsville felt very proud to administer a 6-0 defeat to New Lexington. Despite the fact that we hated to disappoint Glouster in our second game of the season New Lex. took the long end of a 13-7 score in a game featured by frequent fumbles and heavy penalties. The squads next appearance was against Murray City. Despite superior weight, large number of substitutions and plenty of loyal rooters New Lexington again captured the long end of the score. This game relegated several first line men to sidelines temporarily. Junction City next on our list meant another victory, but not such an easy mark as predicted. Wade proved quite an annoyance to opponents because of his ability to catch passes. Accompanied by almost entire faculty and large number of students, the team next journeyed to Bremen in steady downpour of rain and were defeated by a neat little score 14-0. No wonder—couldn’t expect a team to wade, swim and play football all in one afternoon. Junction City came to New Lexington for our next game, and took a second defeat at hands of New Lex. as gracefully as before. On Armistice Day Crooksville invaded our city en masse. The team played as a whole, and from start to finish there was unparalleled spirit. The final score spelled victory for Crooksville, 7-0. The end of the season came with a clash at Crooksville. The game was the most hotly contested of the season. All the fight, spirit, and determination of the New Lexington eleven wras pitted against their old rival. Like true sportsmen New Lexington gracefully bowed to their victorious opponents. The success with which 1927 football aggregation completed the season, reflects credit on the executive staff, whose efforts are appreciated by entire student body. The loyalty of the students and faculty supporters could be counted upon throughout the season, and the spirit of the squad as a whole made it possible for the school to gain recognition throughout the county. Sixty-two LEXINGTONIAN captain McDonald “Mickey was the able leader of our football eleven this year. By his brilliant playing and natural leadership he proved himself capable of the job. EARL HAZLETT “Bake” Hazlett starred as right tackle this year. His election to captaincy of the 1927 squad is a just compliment to his ability as a pigskin artist. REXFORD ALLEN “Rex” Allen proved that he has all the qualifications for a high type of player. Rex could be counted upon to uphold his side of the line on defense while on offense his work was clean cut and hard. He has another year with N. L. H. S. THOMAS FERGUSON “Tommy” playing his third year for N. L. H. S. was one of the mainstays in the line. His coolness and accurate passing at the crucial moments always kept the center of the line steady and balanced. JAMES DAVIDSON “Jim’s” strength and fearlessness made a powerful man at guard position. His hard consistent playing throughout the season won for him a place in hearts of all N. L. H. S. students. Jim is known for his head work in all his play. OLIVER HAFFLER “Ollie” is a large man with unusual speech and strength and is always in the thick of the scrimmage. He is counted as one of most consistent cogs in N. L. H. S. machine and a man of thorough football knowledge. WADE KIMBALL “Gilp” has earned the reputation of being one of the best ends in the county. Who has not witnessed his catching a pass which meant victory for us? He is an adept in art of breaking opposing interference and blocking the starting machinery of opponents aerial plays. PEARL REICHLEY “Perk” directed the N. L. H. S. offense at quarterback berth. In addition to calling signals “Perk” bore the brunt of the season’s punting and handled his share of the passing department. His cool-headed work saved the team a good many hard knocks and defeats. DONALD BLACK “Don” filled a regular halfback berth on our squad, specializing on end runs. Fast on his feet and a sure tackle Don will be a hard man to replace next year. His football technique proved a worthy assist in times of need. JOSEPH RODGERS “Joe” was one of those backs that fight hard all the time, never get tired and eventually wears out the opposing team. Although his first year in football Joe proved his right to a place on the squad. CHARLES HAYDEN “Chuck” is of stocky build, powerful and fast and repeatedly showed his ability on the defense, his fight, on offense, and deadly tackle on play around end down under punts. A man of his natural ability will be hard to replace. Credit is due to the second string men for their part in the development of a strong team. Night after night these men came out for practice, and by hard, consistent work, showed the true N. L. H. S. spirit. The work of Kennedy, Bland, G. Rodgers, Feighle.v, Wilder, R. Ferguson, Stalter, Fitzer, Houk, Page, Minaugh, Black and Birkhimer deserves high praise. Spirits such as theirs build greater elevens. DONALD BLACK. Sixty-three LEXINGTON I AN Basket Ini 11 COACH FOWLER PEARL REICHLEY (Captain) “Forward” “Perk” was a great asset to the team with his shooting and floor work. When we needed a point or two Perk was always on the job. As a dribbler Perk is the best in the county by far. Sorry to state that we lose him by graduation. CECIL SHACKLEFORD “Center” “Cec” at center was the mainstay of the entire team. He always made his share of points and he invariably got the jump on his man. Being a floor man and a splendid shot he contributed much to the success of the team. Sixty-four LEXINGTONIAN WADE KIMBALL “Guard” “Gilp” though not scoring many points did his share of the work when it came to winning games. He is rather rough about his work, but nevertheless his pivot and reverse turn were developed to a high degree of perfection. This is Gilp’s first year on the regular team and he is a Senior. EARL IIAZLETT “Forward” “Bake” came out for basketball inexperienced, but developed into a fine running mate for Perk. Although he played a good game this year much is expected from him next year. He is only a Junior. DONALD BLACK “Guard” “Don” at running guard, duplicated his performance on the football team, by starting with almost no experience and winning an unquestionable postion on the team. He improved steadily every game in passwork and shooting. Don also graduates this year. Sixty-five LEXINGTONIAN JOSEPH RODGERS “Guard” “Joe at guard could always be depended upon to hold his forward to a few baskets. He developed exceedingly fast this year, and no doubt will be a regular on the team next year. This is his Junior year. PEARL ROBINSON “Guard” “Perk did not get into many games because of his size. But he did his part remarkably well when he did play. This is Perk’s first year in the flcor game, and we give three cheers for his fine spirit and efforts. This is his last year on the squad as he is also a Senior. DOUGLASS BLACK “Forward” Doug” should be termed the red-headed flash for he surely could cover the floor. Doug was a fighter and had plenty of pep, but lacked experience. He is a Senior this year. Sixty-six LEXINGTON I AN To the subs goes the distinction of making the team. By going to practice every night they offered plenty of opposition to the first team. All these players except two will be with us next year and should make names for themselves. James Davidson and George Paskell will graduate this year. May this be said of entire group that they were responsible and aided much in putting the first team in shape.

Girls’ Basket hall Team The N. L. H. S. basketball season of 1926-’27 was very successful. Through grim determination and hard efforts the victories became greater and greater. The team was coached by Miss Catherine Goeller. And they tried to make her proud of them. Following is a summary of the games. Dec. 17, Junction City 11, N. L. H. S. 11 The first game of the season! Unexperienced but ready to make a few blows, we started. Where? Oh, yes, Junction City. We played three minutes overtime, but fate was against a victory, so we agreed to play the tie off on our own home floor. Dec. 23, McLuney 13; N. L. H. S. 11 A close and snappy game. A fighting spirit was held throughout the game till the last. Dec. 30, Alumni 3; N. L. H. S. 5 A victory! The present alumni teams took second place in the county last year. It was very encouraging to win this game, it gave us hope for the future. Jan. 7, Moxahala 10; N. L. H. S. 9 Another defeat and also another close score. “Lou” Kimball showed her metal in this game. We looked forth to the second game with Moxie which was yet to come. Jan. 8, Granville 36; N. L. H. S. 16 On the night after the Moxie game we went to the college town of Granville. Even in the face of certain defeat the spirit of hope was possessed by all. Jan. 14, Crooksville 37; N, L. H. S. 11 In this game our center, “Bozo” Paxton, was unable to play but a few minutes. We then knew it would be costly defeat for us. But all remembered that this was just the first Crooksville vs. New Lexington game this year and that there would be another. Jan. 21, Junction City 14; N. L. H. S. 13 Our hope for reveng: was smashed. It was a very close score so the teams were very well matched. Jan. 28, Hemlock 4; N. L. H. S. 9 Another victory! All hope was revived! “Blinky” Allen was the high scorer. Feb. 4, Moxahala 5; N. L. II. S. 20 Who said revenge wasn’t sweet? I hope it is! Our team played Moxahala on their own floor, and look what the score was! Feb. 5, Shawnee 14; N. L. H. S. 15 The next night after the Moxie game we played the swift Shawnee girls. The score was a tie at the end of the game but we beat them after three minutes over play. Feb. 11, Crooksville 8; N. L. H. S. 13 The second Crooksville game. Our revenge was sweet. We certainly did beat them! Feb. 18, Hemlock 14; N. L. H. S. 16 We visited the Hemlock girls even though we had to go through a deep snow to get there. One of our regular guards was only able to play a few minutes but we won anyway. Feb, 26, County Tournament (Preliminaries) Junction City 9 N. L. H. S 16 Somerset . 2 N. L. H. S 12 Thornville 5 N. L.

Guard Seventy LEXINGTON I AN New Lexington Junior High Basketball Team The New Lexington Junior High Basketball team has had a remarkable season, having won six games and lost one, which was against the Athens High Reserves. Due to the fine coach, Hutcheson, and the excellent team, we were able to make a fine start for the Junior High Team of New Lexington. We also wish to note that this is the first Junior High team that New Lexington has ever had. LAWRENCE GARLINGER, Captain Lawrence Garlinger, captain of the team, and playing at center position, was quoted as one of the most dependable players on the team. The Captain’s skillful passing, and fighting spirit has helped win many games. Garlinger will still be with us next year to fight for his team. ALFRED COLBORN To Alfred we give the credit of being one of the fastest players on the team. In all the games of the season he has done all in his power to make our team come to the front. Colborn is also noted for his cool playing, which has made him a fine forward. We are glad to say that he will be with us next season. PAUL WILSON Paul, playing a forward position was an accurate shot, and noted for his clean playing and sportsmanship. He was always on the go and when he went down the floor you were expecting something to happen. He must be commended for his loyalty to his team and coach. Paul will be heard from next year. NED MINAUGH Ned proved his worth to the team by being an efficient guard. He was one of the out- standing players on the team. Although Ned is small he is very quick. We are sorry that he will not be with us next year, but we hope that he will be successful in his future basketball career. ROBERT OWENS Bob, as a guard position proved to be one of the most useful players on the team. He is well known for reliability and sportsmanship. We are thankful to say that he will be with the Junior High team again next year. Honorable mention:— LUTHER BECKETT FRED TROUT CLARENCE HUSTON NED HOLDEN STANLEY BECKETT The reserves were very loyal to the team and helped all they could. Because of the close scores in all the games this season, the reserves were not called on very often. But when substitutions were needed these fellows were always ready to do their part. To this team’s loss Ned Holden and Ned Minaugh graduate from Junior High this year. ALFRED COLBORN LAWRENCE GARLINGER.

However, contrary to the usual custom, the letters were not awarded the boys at this time but at our chapel exercises where the whole high school could be present. The girls were unsuccessful in their attempt to secure a speaker for the evening from either Ohio State University or Ohio University since the banquet came at rather a busy time, but with such able people as Mr. Swartz, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Fowler and Mr. Hutcheson to fill the place of an out-of-town speaker, the team felt that nothing had been left undone to render them a very enjoyable evening. The high school colors, black and gold, were carried out in the table decorations by means of crepe paper, miniature footballs as favors, and yellow flowers in black bowls, place cards suitable for each guest were used. As a fitting climax to a very splendid dinner, the boys chose as their captain and leader for the following year, Earl Hazlett, who has one more year left in high school and who, on account of his interest and levelheadedness will be very capable for filling that position. The Junior girls wish to express their appreciation to Miss Jenkins, who so kindly helped them to make this party an enjoyable affair for all those concerned. GERALDINE SELBY. Teamwork Eleven men are needed for a team, One star is not enough, however clever; Ten boys must help him if he is gleam, He must have guards and tackles round him ever. Once in a game I saw a star perform. Fleet as a deer he ran the field to glory, But had he run alone to breast the storm, Perhaps the press had told a different story. I would not from the star take aught of praise, But left alone unguarded, undefended, Despite his brilliance and his daring ways, Without that touchdown would his run have ended. Two boys were near him as he crossed the line, Who blocked the foemen as they sought to stay him, Their purpose was to help the sun to shine, To clear the fields from all who might delay him. Then almost free towards the goal he ran. But one was left who would not give him clearance. With arms outstretched he plunged to get his man, But fell a victim of great interference. The crowd applauded for a touchdown made, A splendid feat the press exultant said it. But unto three my tribute now is paid. The boys who blocked the tacklers share the credit. Life is like football. One is lost alone. The line of friendship must give stiff resistance Who fights a selfish battle soon is thrown True greatness oft depends on great assistance. By EDGAR GUEST .

So goodbye to our Alma Mater, Goodbye to the school that is best. The one and only accept no imitation. Our dearest N. L. H. S. —DORIS TEAL. Seventy-six Colburn L u. c S QeorCre u p ? Jeer's Mu� nrnel LEXINGTONIAN Bright Lights of 27 The annual popularity contest this year included the Junior High School. Since scholastic standing figured in other contests of the year, it was omitted from the list of qualifications in popularity contest. The vote was based on class popularity, activities, and school spirit. By secret ballot, each class chose one boy and one girl of their number to represent them. The large number of eligible contestants in each class made the competition very brisk. The final vote resulted in the following: Seniors—Edna Minturn and Wade Kimball. Juniors—Esther Kimball and Earl Hazlett. Sophomores—Bertha Brown and Joe Page. Freshmen—Margaret Hummel and George Rodgers. Eighth Grade—Mary Margaret Yaw and Lawrence Garlinger. Seventh Grade—Catherine Lucas and Alfred Colburn. Junior-Senior Reception As an expression of the esteem, respect and love felt for the departing Seniors, the Junior class entertained with a banquet and dance on April 19, 1927. Into the candle-lighted banquet room of the Lutheran Church came the guests of honor, the faculty and the hosts, more than a hundred in all. Waitresses, girls of the Sophomore class, glad to pay their tribute to the Seniors, were dressed in gray with scarlet touches carrying out the general color scheme in the Senior colors. With due attention to food, much conversation and fun, the banquet progressed and after a delightful program the party adjourned to meet at King’s Armory for the prom. Here the hall, the programs, all the appointments carried out the decorative motive in scarlet and gray. Woodie’s Collegians of Ohio University furnished the music which inspired everyone to “trip it on light fantastic toe.” Since all material things come to an end, the party could not go on indefinitely—but in the hearts of the Juniors will go on and on the pleasant memories which we have of the Seniors of 1927. —GOLDIE HARRIS. County Orchestra and Band The County Orchestra and Band have been new and interesting features in the county school program this year. Both the Orchestra and Band have been ably directed by Mr. James L. Hoffman. The Orchestra was organized in the early part of the school year with nearly ninety pieces. The following schools were represented in the Orchestra Junction City. Thorn-ville, Crooksville, Shawnee, New Straitsville, and McLuney. A public concert was given in the New Lexington High School Auditorium, December 16, which was well attended and appreciated by the patrons of the various schools. The Band was organized about mid-year with fifty pieces. The same schools were represented in the Band as in the Orchestra. The band also gave a concert at New Lex- ington on the evening of April the first. As a result of the county organization a local Band was formed which featured in several basketball games adding much “pep” to the games. Members of the local Band were: Don Black, Earl Hazlett, Ernie Miller, Carl David, Doug Black, Allen Conn, Mabel Randolph, Wade Kimball, James Davidson, Esther Kimball, Homer Feighley, Mary Ellen Paskell, Abbie Page, Marjorie Davidson, Dan Jenkins, Robert Weller, and Joe Page. In the game between New Lex and Glenford we believe our music helped lead our home team to victory over their strong opponents. True to college form the Band marched and formed an N. L. between halves. As a fitting close to the evening’s victory the Band and its followers paraded the main streets of town. —MABLE RANDOLPH. Seventy-eight LEXINGTONIAN Journalistic Class Since the occupancy of the new New Lexington High School building there have been made possible many more activities both in and other than the regular curriculum. There is not doubt in the minds of all who are in close relationship with the splendid group of students and the exceptionally efficient corps of teachers that the mere cognizance of the new building has created an atmosphere which is decidedly progressive. The success of the students’ study program and outside activities was too pronounced to keep a secret, and so measures were taken whereby publicity would be obtained through the local press, the Perry County Tribune and New Lexington Herald—material to be written and edited by the High School students. With this idea in mind the staff was chosen late in the year to start the activity and in collaboration with the above-named papers to keep the public informed of the worthiness of the new building, the progress of the school curriculum, and the athletic, social, and dramatic functions of the year. With Josephine Zimmer as editress in chief and her staff including, Dan Jenkins, Mary Margaret Yaw, Esther McCann, Irol Berg, and Helen Ridenour, the entire school has been covered for assignments of every con- Oratorv Each year the various high schools of Perry County send their representatives to participate in an oratory contest, the purpose of which is to arouse interest in and to foster the art of public address. In these days of hectic living, too little attention is given to the dignity and beauty of the spoken word. Words, sentences and paragraphs are garbled together in a hopeless hodge-podge, the meaning of which must be sensed rather than heard, and it is to counteract this tendency that speech arts are encouraged in the school. This year in the contest, we went down in ceivable nature. Each week one of the staff reporters is assigned a topic or topics upon which he or she is to submit at the appointed time for the editor to revise or correct. In this manner each member of the staff has been constantly kept at work sharing the responsibility of their column which appears weekly in the two local publications. Such procedure not only keeps the general public interestingly in touch with the work of the school, but as well, gives the members of the staff an idea of the opportunities which awrait them in the journalistic field and prepares them to take advantage of such opportunities when they are out of school and feel that they should enjoy employment in this particular field. The staff is to be congratulated upon their enthusiasm and consistency throughout the brief period that the class has been organiz-ed. Much has been accomplished as has been exemplified in the improvement of the students’ ability to write and by the interest as well which has been created among outsiders and citizens of this community. It is expected that the work will continue next year. It will proceed under a more systematic manner taking up further details of the publishing and journalistic business. Contest defeat before Crooksville and Junction City, who received first and second place respectively. But it was a creditable defeat and Harold Rockwell, ’27, who represented New Lexington High School, deserves much praise for the excellent showing which he made. Professor W. H. Cooper, of the Department of Public Speaking of Ohio University, acting as judge, was highly complimentary in his comments upon the technique displayed by Rockwell. And indeed, so favorable were his remarks that, had fickle memory proven true, we would have been reasonably sure of honors. Seventy-nine LEXINGTON IAN Spelling Contest The High School was represented in the spelling contest this year by Mary Fristoe and Stanford Gooden, who worked diligently to conquer the “Two Thousand Spelling Demons” from which the examination was chosen. Eight high schools in the county sent contestants, who met at our school Saturday, March, 26th, where the County Superintendent, Mrs. Rachel Yaw, assisted by Mr. Morgan and other teachers from the various schools, conducted the contest. New Lexington was awarded first place when it was found that Standford Goodin had spelled down the other representatives. However, Mary Fristoe was not far behind him in her spelling that day and now we are hoping for first place again next year by her ability. This is the second time, since the spelling contest was inaugurated in 1922 that N. L. H. S. has won the first honors. Chapels and Assemblies For years, it has been the custom for New Lexington High School to have either chapel exercises or assemblies every Friday morning. The chapel exercises have been to completely round out our educational course, as far as we have gone. Therefore, since we have the regular curriculum of school work, it has been advisable and necessary to devote a small part of our time to religious education, which has proven very beneficial. Each minister in the town has appeared before the student body this year, while taking charge of these chapel services. This has enabled all of us to become acquainted with all of the ministers, regardless of demonina-tions. Each one in turn has given us something well worth the while. The Senior High and junior High schools as a whole will always welcome these men, and we are unable to express adequately our appreciation to them. The assemblies were held in order to display our own school talent, and to furnish variety to our school life. Each class, from Seniors down to the Seventh Grade in their proper turn presented pleasing programs. Miss Powell, Miss Jenkins, Miss Drury and Miss O’Donnell were in a great part responsible for the success of these special features. The Senior class presented a radio program, broadcasted from Station N. L. H. S,., which was kindly and enthusiastically received by the student body. The Juniors gave vaudeville performances, such as one would see at Keith’s, featuring Enelle Chess Orchestra—and displaying Miss Zimmer’s talent. The Sophomore chapel was a mock commencement, portraying the future to the Seniors of ’27. An address was given by C. C. Chappelear. This program was enjoyed by everyone. The Freshmen produced a very comical and pleasing program, showing us the past lives of our dear faculty. The Eighth Grade was aided by some of the members of the Woman’s Music Study Club, and by our county superintendent, Mrs. Yaw. This very pleasing program was the result of a committee of eighth grade boys and girls, selected for this special purpose. The Seventh Grade produced a miscellaneous program, consisting of talent within their grade. These people, together with the Eighth Grade—and in fact all other classes are to be complimented on the versatility of certain students, and the variety of talent. There is always a certain few whom we can depend upon. In the case of these exercises we have reference to Mr. Morgan, chairman; Miss Jones, our music director; Doug Black, our cheer leader, and the N. L. H. S. Orchestra. These people have all been faithful and we wish to thank them, together with others who have helped. Eighty LEXINGTONIAN 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 way, 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-hearted, 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.” Eighty-one LEXINGTONIAN Our Library J We have improved our reading facilities greatly this year. At the beginning of the year, a great number of books well worth reading were chosen and placed on the reserve shelf. Many of the students gave or loaned books from their homes. For the first time, rather than to be forced to read an assigned book, we have the freedom of choice of drama, nature study, history, travel or fiction. Through the interest of Mrs. Charles B. McDougal in the New Lexington schools, three hundred copies of “The Forestry Primer” have been received from the American Tree Association, Washington, D. C. The Forestry Primer is an attractive booklet consisting of fourteen lessons on the conservation and use of the forests of our country. It has been published to mark the semicentennial of the first step in forestry by the United States Government and to help the coming generations of Americans profit by the lessons of the past. These books have been distributed by the teachers and pupils of grades 5, 6, 7 and 8, where they will be studied at this appropriate time of the year. The value of such study by our boys and girls—citizens of tomorrow, is immeasurable. The superintendent and the teachers and pupils of Grades 5 and 8 extend to Mrs. McDougal their thanks and appreciation for these interesting and valuable books. WTe are pleased to report the following list of donors and the books and magazines they donated to the New Lexington High School Library in the present school year: 1. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Howerth—The World’s Greatest Literature—60 Volumes. 2. (a) Mr. Albert Kennedy—Review of Reviews—for the last thirty-one years. (b) The Cosmopolitan—1894 and 1895-bound. (c) The Mentor—1920 to 1926, inclusive. 3. Mrs. Carrie Stinchcomb—Messages and Papers of the Presidents—11 Volumes. 4. Advance Club—(a) A Day in Old Athens; (b) A Short History of the English People. 5. Delphian Society—National Geographic Magazine—one year. 6. Mothers Club—Art and Education in Wood Turning. 7.

Charles H.—No, what position does he play? Senior—Look here this picture makes me look like a monkey. Editor of Lexingtonian—You should have thought about that before you had the picture taken. Fowler—If the President, Vice President and all the members of the cabinet died who would officiate? Sam S.—The undertaker. Esther K.—Do you know how to approach a girl with a past ? Earl H.—How? Esther—With a present. Senior—How did you loose your teeth, boy? Freshmen—Oh, I was shifting gears on a lolly-pop. Miss Potter—What became of that hired hand you got from the city?? Willard Noce—Aw, he used to be a chauffeur, and the doggoned idiot crawled under a mule to see why it wouldn’t go. Bob Robinson—You look like a sensible girl. Let’s get married. Doris Fitzer—Nothing doing; I’m as sensible as I look. Freshman Poetry Little Willie’s kind o’ funny— Takes it after Uncle Lafe. Swallowed all his sister’s money— Said that he was “playing safe.” Don Black—Why didn’t you sound your horn when you saw the man in the road? Perk Robinson—I thought it would be more humane if he never knew what struck him. Ruth M.—Oh, Basil, if we had a nice car I would never want to go home. Basil—You wouldn’t need to, Ruth. We’d have to sleep in the park. Teacher (sarcastically)—Gee, you were born bright! Freshman (agreeing)—And the knocking around has polished me considerably. Kate B.—Two eggs poached, medium soft, buttered toast, not too hard, coffee, not too much cream in it. Miss Winters—Yes, would you like any special design on the dishes? Mother—My son, you should never defer until tomorrow what you can do today. Son—Then, mother, we’d better eat the rest of that mince pie tonight, hadn’t we?

I already didn’t know how to dance. “Willie,” said his anxious mother, “I thought I forbade your fighting any more, and now see that big scratch on your face! You’ve been at it again, haven’t you?” “No, honestly I haven’t, ma,” said Willie. “Did someone strike you?” “No, ma, I haven’t been fightin’ at all—it was an accident.” “An accident?” “Yes, you see I was sittin’ on Johnny Jones, and I forgot to hold his feet.” Absent-Minded Prof. (Murphy) does the following things: 1. Shaved the cat and kicked himself in the face. 2. Poured molasses down his back and scratched his pancake. 3. Tied knots in his spaghetti and poured catsup on his shoe strings. Ninety-one = LEXINGTON I AN Do You Remember When: The Class of ’27 wasn’t the most important class in the High School? The Seniors weren’t razzed? The Sextet was rotten egged?

Miss Potter lost her cat? Miss Goeller was the belle of the football dance ? Miss Gladys Jones was big and hefty? Miss Barker liked Pepper? Miss Winters bought a permanent? Miss Mary Louise Jones liked “Cookies”? THE FRESHMEN ARE SO DUMB THEY THINK THAT: Cape Horn is a musical instrument. Sandy Bar is a saloon. Sandy Harbor is a Scotchman. George Ade is a soft drink. Grace Church is a chorus girl. Bridges are built to shade fishes. Fifty yard dash is a punctuation mark. Pole vault is a place where goal posts are kept for safety. Cicero is Mutt’s son. A dry dock is a physician out of prescription. Secretary of the Interior a stomach specialist. “What is the plural of man, Johnny?” asked the teacher of a small pupil. “Men.” “Correct,” said the teacher. “And what is the plural of child?” “Twins.” Farmer—Hi there! What are you doing up in my cherry tree? Youngster—“Dere’s a notice down dere to keep off de grass. Isabelle H.—How did you get that medal? Dwight B.—By keeping my mouth shut. Isabelle—What! Dwight—Yes, for swimming under water. John Kelso—Ah, I see you are a lover of animals. But what strange pets—guinea pigs? Ruth Manspeaker—Yes. You got to have something with you nowadays to test this poison hooch you get, don’t you?? Each springtime makes her sick of life, While pulling up the weeds; The chickens cluck to see the girls Now planting flower seeds. Ninety-two LEXINGTON I AN Charles S.—Gee, Ernie, you sure have a “mellow” voice. Eernie—Thanks—why ? Charles S.—It’s either overripe or rotten. Lives of football men remind us That we too can write our names in blood And departing leave behind us— Half our faces in the mud. Rex Allen—Are you in favor of drinking? Joe Roger—No, I’m against prohibition. Little Johnny, seeing his mother nod pleasantly to the minister passing by, inquired, “Who’s that, mother?” “That’s the man who married me, dear,” she replied. “Then if that’s the man who married you,” said Johnny, “what the thunder is pa doing at our house?” Miss Potter—Jimmie, give me a sentence using the words “attack” and “defense” together. Jimmie V.—“Er-er-ah-I sat on attack and defense together! Teacher—Edgar, what makes you so late for school? Edgar K—Well, you see, I saw a sign— Teacher—What has a sign to do with getting to school on time? Edgar K.—I saw a sign, School Ahead, Go Slow. Bliss “Guess my girl in college has changed her mind about basketball. She is evidently going in for something more useful.” “How so?” “Now she writes she has made the scrub team.” Teacher—Dave, how much is three times three ? Dave—Nine. Teacher—That’s pretty good. Dave—Pretty good—it’s perfect. Miss Jenkins—Edgar King has a terrible cold in his head from raising his hat to the ladies. Miss Powell—That’s an altogether new form of the tipping evil. John W.—Whither away? Ruth B.—Aw, dry up yourself. Little green freshman; Trying hard to learn; You needn’t learn the fire drill, For you’re too green to burn. Mr. Hutcheson (after long talk)—“And now you are free to ask questions.” Peggy Burroughs—“What time is it?” They quarreling: Kate—Give me back my love letters. Doug—Give me back my kisses. Thus the quarrel ended. Oh. That Quiz There’s a rumor strikes my ear, That a quiz is coming near, And it scares me so, my heart just fairly flops. If I’m not to flunk, they say, I must study night and day— Study till my poor brain almost pops. All this higher education Fills my soul with consternation— I am learning things at such a fearful rate! If T gain with perspiration All this learned information, I am certain that my brain will busticate. Oh, to find some swift solution! Shall I flee this institution? Save my brain by going where no learning is ? But I guess I needn’t worry, Or get awf’ly in a flurry, For anyway—I’m sure to flunk that quiz. “Gracious me! I think papa is going to take that young man into the family.” “Why, dear?” “Well, when they were playing cards last night I distinctly heard papa say: ‘I think I’ll raise you, Harry’.” He—How do you like my mustache? She—Not very well at first sight. He—Perhaps it will grow on you. She—Oh, Roy, you are always thinking of the most absurd things! Doctor—That’s strange, your pulse is still above normal. Patient—Are you sure your watch is right? Professor—What is vivisection? Freshman—Cutting up while one is alive. Ninety-three I.EXINGTONIAN “I wonder why they are changing engines?” “The one they had seemed to be fagged out.” “It is. It’s smoked too much.” Chuck Hayden—What did you study for today ? Dwight Bell—Nothing. Chuck Hayden—By George, that’s the same lesson I studied. When you’re tired of grinding strife, Spring a joke! When you’re losing hold on life, Spring a joke! It won’t hurt your face to smile, Try it just a little while, Then with lots of “pep” and style Spring a joke! Get the kind that’s good and new— Spring a joke! Those worn out with time won’t do— Spring a joke! Get up something rich in fun (Really you won’t stop the sun!) Show ’em that it can be done— Spring a joke! Fond Ma, whose daughter takes music of Prof. Hoffman, was asked if her daughter played by ear. “Oh, no, she used both hands and feet, but they haven’t taught her to use her ears yet.” “Bet I know where you got that necktie.” “Five bucks says you don’t.” “Around your neck, you boob.” “How can a man sit in his own lap?” “I don’t know. I’m a stranger around here.” Familiar Sentences That We Heard Recently: Gee! I flunked. That final was too long. Say, that was a darb. He asked me just what I didn’t know. That wasn’t a fair test. I knew that, but I couldn’t think of it. Such a question! That was outrageous. What will dad say when he knows I’ve flunked. He tried to put one over on us. Back to the acres. Philosophy by John Kelso A smile is the headlight on a train of pleasant thoughts. Open confession may be good for the soul, but it’s bad for the reputation. All humans are made of dust—even dust will settle. Bing—Howdye like the Lexingtonian? Go—Oh, so-so! It’s got a lot of “Life” in it. Reveries of a Senior I used to think I knew, I knew But now I must confess. The more I know. I know, I know, I know, I know the less. A MOON? Geo. Paskell—The old hen is eating tacks. Alf Preest (in utter disgust)—Yes, I suppose now she’ll lay a carpet. Robber—Money or your life! Mae K. (falling on her knees)—I am thine forever. Grace Burroughs—Jim Davidson Could any one, love, between us come? He asked in accents tender. Well, spoke a young sister under the lounge, They’d have to be awfully slender. I sent my son to high school With a pat upon the back. I spent five hundred dollars And got a quarter back. Ninety-four LEXINGTON I AN Mr. Swartz—Dorothy, when was the first match made?” Dorothy Moore—When Adam met Eve. Mr. Reichley—Say, Elizabeth, that boy of ours in high school must be gettin’ on purty handy with carpenter tools. Eliz.—What’s he been doin’, Jim?? Mr. Reichley—He sez he just made the basketball team. Evelyn N.—Tell me, how is the milkmaid? Ernie H.—It ain’t made you poor nut, the cow gives it. Miss Southard—Alice, who fought in the second battle of the Marne? Alice McNulty—Why didn’t the British fight the English? Kate B.—I told him to look at the dark rings under my eyes to see if I didn’t need a vacation from school. Esther McC.—What did he say ? Kate—That I needed a bar of soap. The Catastrophe Oh, Ruthie leaped from the bath tubette Right into the cosy kitchenette. Alas the doors behind her mette, And smashed her into a flat insette. Such haps will come again—or yette Though the sad case is hypothette. Mae K.—Do you believe that brunettes marry first? Ted M.—No, it’s generally the light-headed ones. EARL H., CAUGHT IN THE ACT If We Were All Like G. Washington “Do you like my tie? Paid S3.00 for it— latest thing.” “No, I don’t. It looks just like an animated barber pole.” “Oh, say, is my hair all right ?” “Yes, dear; it’s a perfect mess as usual.” “Did you like the sermon this morning?” “I really don’t know. I was so busy talking myself, I didn’t hear it.” “Just back from the dressmaker’s Do you like it?” “Oh, not particulary. It makes you look too fat, and that shade simply fights with your complexion.” Ninety-five LEXINGTON IAN New Lexington High School Alumni CLASS OF 1877 Robert E. Kelley, Columbus, Ohio. Joseph W.
