(Ll|c 192S J mvtgtmitan Published by the Senior Class for the purpose of preserving some of the happy memories of High School Life Page Six LEXINGTONIAN Miss Mabel Potter The class of 1928 respectfully dedicates this volume of the Lexingtonian to Miss Mabel Potter, teacher of French and History in the New Lexington High School. Her patience and untiring efforts have helped us through our high school life for four years. L F- X I N G T () N I A N Page Seven To Miss Goeller, the Seniors express their appreciation. She is an inspiring teacher and friend to all. Success to her in all undertakings. The Seniors wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Morgan, our wise administrator, both within the class room and without. Ifmixnuh cri The Lexingtonian is not an ordinary report. It is a history in which we have striven to our utmost capacity to make it an epitome of student life and activity during the year 1927-1928. We have looked into the future and seen our lives as they will be in later years and we have thought of those things that we should like to remember of New Lexington High School in years to come, of our classes and classmates, our joys and our adversities. We present this book to the students and friends of our beloved High School with the reservation that they preserve it as a treasure, and that it may be a lasting memory of their pleasant life at school. Even though the Class of ’28 will never convene again, though its members shall be scattered to all corners of the earth, may each person frequently brush the dust from the pages of this book and refresh his memories of his happy days at New Lexington High School. of Contents 1.

And that was the reason, some days ago, In the High School over the way The Powers That Be said this class must go, They were far too wise to stay; There was nothing more for them to know— They must pass on Commencement Day. The students, not half so wise, of course, Were envying them everyone; And that is one reason (there may be worse) But this was the way it began! That the Powers That Be moved with mighty force That their High School work was done! Now the Seniors had worked with might and main, Striving so hard exams to pass; Each new achievement—one step gained, Just one mistake—alas! But these Seniors wise could not remain For theirs was a clever class. So since the Powers That Be have willed it so That they were too wise to stay They must bid farewell to friend and foe, And cheerfully go on their way Prepared to work wonders, out in the world After they pass on Commencement Day. —Marguerite Denny.

Hazel Howerth Class Colors—Blue and White Motto—We Lead Other Fellows Flower—Lily of the Valley Everything in the world worthy of mention or consideration has a pedigree—even a class. We, the class of 1928, of New Lexington High School are a class worthy of more than the ordinary consideration. Therefore, it stands to reason that we have a pedigree well worth looking up, and in the revelation of character that came to light from day to day, it would be very easy, indeed, to compile a magnificent class tree, if we felt so inclined. We have in Football, Basketball, and kindred pursuits, shown some distinguishing characteristics of barbarism, and several through this, that, or the other, mannerisms, could be distinctly traced back to the days of the cave-man and cliff-dwellers of antiquity. So it was with the Freshmen of ’24. We resembled somewhat the primitive man or in other words the man in the hunting and fishing stage of life, for, true to life we fished around among the members of our notorious class and found an able leader who could carry us through this age into the greater, safely. This leader to whom we committed ourselves, was none other than our song bird, Rex Allen; his Assistant, Charles Saunders, his Secretary, John Wilder, and last but not least, his Treasurer, Joseph Rodgers. As our tribe was the largest of the four congregated at New Lex. Hi, in the year of ’24, we were looked upon with fear and envy for the Freshmen numbered sixty strong. And don’t ever think we were not represented in the school activities, because, our yodlers and athletes could be heard and seen above all others on the campus or in the music room. Thus, we Freshies left the age of primitive man and entered the Sophomore Class which resembled the “First Stone Age.” And as the people of the Stone Age had cavemen as their rulers, we had to have some cave-men, too. So at our first meeting we selected as our Chieftess: Jo Zimmer, her Assistant, our former leader of Primitive Times, Rex Allen, Secretary Hazel Howerth; Treasurer, Earl Hazlett. You may see from the leaders selected that woman suffrage was debated upon somewhat, for we had two women as officers. As cave-men and women we were more prominent socially, so, we first engaged in a feast which was very much like our weiner roasts of today. Next, we enjoyed a war dance, which was noticeable because of its lack of refreshments, and its orchestra. (As our only refreshments were our breakfasts.) This year again, we gave our share in the way of athletics, and all other activities of our school. As Juniors we entered what is commonly called “The Middle Stone Age” and as the term implies, we were no longer cave men and women but Cliff Dwellers. As Cliff Dwellers we had advanced one step higher and in accordance with this we elected no longer a Leader, or a Chieftess, but a King, Earl Hazlett; and his Assistant, Lord Rex Allen; His secretary, Sir Joseph Rodgers; and His Treasurer, Sir Charles Saunders. Our first social whirl of this year was our an- nual weiner roast. Next came the traditional Football Banquet and Dance given by the girls of our class in honor of the Football team. But in our rambling, we must not forget our excellent ability on the stage, especially shown in the vaudeville performance given in Junior Chapel. The Football team could not have existed without our boys, to say nothing of the Basketball teams, upon which the Juniors could boast five girls; a team of ourselves. In Glee Club and in Orchestra many familiar Junior faces could be seen and eight of our members could be found in the Honorary Math Club. As in the case of every class, we became so educated that we could no longer stay in this stage, but we ascended, a step higher, so high indeed that we had the title of Seniors. And as the people of “The Late Stone Age” we were so far advanced that we now have a republic, with our once title of Leader now changed to President. So lo, and behold! See whom we have: President, Earl Hazlett; Vice President, Esther Kimball; Secretary, Jo Zimmer, and Treasurer, Hazel Howerth. These are the spokes in the great wheel of the Senior Class that steered us successfully through the last and most glorious stage of high school life. This year we again engaged in a weiner roast on the Lancaster road. Then the various members of our class were always enjoying some party or feast which goes along with one’s dignity as a senior. This year, we find, as one could expect, many smiling, cheerful senior faces in the Math Club and many other clubs too numerous to mention. Again this year our talent was shown in the “Gypsy Rover,” an operetta, given by the Public Speaking Class and the Glee Clubs in which the seniors were represented by a good number. And as ever our athletes continued to display their ability and show that the senioi's still retained their school spirit, for we were represented in Basketball and Football by several members of our popular class. And now as the history of the class of ’28 is about to close, the seniors wish to thank our Superintendent, Principal, teachers and friends, for the many efforts that they have put forth in our behalf, in order that our school career might be a success. Now, Juniors, we bid you welcome to our honored position, and retire into the ranks of our ever loyal Alumni. —Winnie Mae Elswick. LEXINGTONIAN Page Thirty-nine Sent nr (Elass Jrnphmj The opportunity of a lifetime came to me through a friend, in the form of a trip to the foreign countries. We visited the battle-scarred fields of France and Belgium, which I had longed to see for some time. From there, we decided to journey northward, to the land of the tulips and hyacinths, namely, Holland. The beauty of these flowers, there in their native land, was beyond description. The picturesque dikes and lighthouses attracted my attention. Traveling along the northern dike, I met a bent and aged man. I soon learned that he was one of the lighthouse keepers. I asked him to take me thru one of the lighthouses and so we started up the winding steps. When we reached the top, it was then that he began telling me of the interesting stories that the ships had brought ashore. I asked if he had ever heard them say anything of my classmates of nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. He told me of each and every one. Louis Schneider and Katie Sweeney have joined hand in hand and after studying agriculture, are living on a large farm. “Dot” Paxton, from her experience in basketball at New Lex., is now coaching at Moxie. Like “Dot” herself, the team is much feared by all its opponents. Louis Link and Helen Sherlock are living in McCuneville and are practicing division of labor. Louis is superintendent of the schools and Helen is instructing the younger generation in how to gain speed on the typewriter. Earl Patton is now playing in Whitman’s orchestra and is playing in Rendville during the month of June. Ted McDonald is the only red-headed star in the Ohio State Glee Club. His singing has won for him an enviable place in the Middle West. Esther Kimball is assistant manager and head clerk in the A. P. store at Somerset. No wonder the men do all the buying! ! ! Charles King is head bell-hop at the Neil House. He owes his success to the fact that he was always on the hop in his earlier days. John Wilder has gone into business for himself. He is the owner of the world’s largest and most up-to-date shoe shop. Edwin Gordon, through his ability to play the “Prisoner’s Song,” is employed by the government to entertain the prisoners at the penitentiary. “Rex” Allen and Claudine Koontz are employed by the Tooley Opera Company. Rex has become known as the ideal lover through the inspiration of his partner. “Jo” Zimmer’s wonderful dancing has made her very popular in the George White Scandals. Hazel Howerth is touring the western states on the Chautauqua platform, pleasing all audiences with her eloquent speaking. Frank Bennett has a permanent position with station W. L. S. to broadcast his ability on the violin to all music lovers of the world. Relna Allen is the well known instructor in contagious laughter. Suit is now on against her by the fat lady of Ringling Brothers’ circus for producing so much competition. For the old saying “Laugh and grow fat” is tried and true. Paul Bland is now starring on the Chicago Bruins’ basketball team. Queer; he never gets mad. Earl Hazlett is tooting his way through Ohio Wesleyan as band leader. His special number is “Esther Lou.” Marguerite Nash and Mildred Paxton are gum testers at the Teaberry Chewing Gum factory. They are unsurpassed in their ability. “Joe” Rodgers is the widely known halfback on Notre Dame’s football team. He holds the record for the greatest number of touchdowns. Geraldine Selby has succeeded Betty Fairfax and is giving “Advice to the Lovelorn.” Mary Ellen Paskell is directoress and leading clarinet player in the world’s largest feminine band. Alice McNulty is defending her record as the best dancer. She holds the Marathon dancing record. • Virginia Minor is a successful radio announcer, due to her loud voice. Hazel Dennis through her ability as Page Forty LEXINGTONIAN Editor-in-Chief of the Lexingtonian, has accepted a position with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, at an immense salary. Marguerite Denny and Lester Strawn have joined in marriage and are running a Piggly Wiggly store at Dallas, Texas. Winnie Elswick concluded that Corning was good enough for her and has gone there to live. She was the promoter of the famous “Tongue Waggler” club of that city. Ruth Fitzer has gone to Hollywood and is now a star in the Christie Comedies. Her curls have gained in length and are heavily insured. Mary Fristoe and Guy Hayden after taking a law course at Ohio Northern, have hung up their shingle as attorneys at law in Bristol. William Hankison is an electrical engineer at the Kehota mine. James Flowers is in Venice and is taking a more complete course in Art. He has already several great paintings in the museum. Goldie Harris and Isabelle Huston are conducting a beauty parlor in Mainsville. Business from the tile plant is still very good. And so I bade farewell to the grizzled old man who had so kindly told me of my friends and retraced my steps from the lighthouse, hoping against hope that some of these school companions might cross my path in my journey through Europe. —Homer Feigley. a I, E X I N G T OMAN Page Forty-one junior (Class JUill Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent, Teachers and Friends: Upon the behalf of my client, the Class of 1928 of New Lexington High School, New Lexington, Ohio, U. S. A., I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand, the few gifts she has to bestow in her last dying moments. Listen then, one and all, while I tell you about the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: We, the Class of 1928, at first do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our ever competent faculty only asking at the last injunction of the dying that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp of our worth as Seniors, and that our funeral be preached by the Right Rev. Myron Fowler. 1. Next, we wish to bestow and give to our dear faculty, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights, and peaceful dreams, no longer having to worry over the Seniors. Also our amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our examination papers. 2. We do give and bequeath to the Juniors, all such boys as were not able to keep pace with such brilliant girls as composed the majority of our class, trusting that the Junior girls may be able to hold firmly to them, and guide them carefully next year, thru the gate of commencement, that they may not share the humiliation that has been ours at not being able to hold “our men folks,” as the women of the world put it. 3. To the Sophomores we bequeath our ability to evade Mr. Adams and “Tom.” 4. To the Freshmen we do hereby give and bequeath all cuds of gum which may be found in all likely or unlikely places, under desks, etc. In other words, all that we didn’t have time to get ourselves. The following individual bequests may seem but trifling but, we hope they may be accepted not as worthless things to throw away because we can no longer keep them, but, as valuable assets to those who receive them, and, a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our fine and full bestowal: I. Marg Nash, leave George Rodgers and Tubby Weiland to Doris Fitzer and Pauline Adams, as I won’t be here next year to see that they are taken care of. I, Hazel Dennis, leave my ability in American History and Government to Bertha Brown. I, Ruth Fitzer, leave my winsome, smiling picture to Florence King. I, Bake Hazlett, leave my position as President to some Junior. We, Marg Denny and Virginia Minor, leave to any one who can get ’em a few of our New Straitsville fellows. I, Dot Paxton, leave to Margaret Hummel my basketball ability, not forgetting my height. We, Rex and Claudine, leave our romance to Paul McGonagle and Louise McCreedy. We, Gerry and Lou, leave our positions as assistant principal to Mary Mcllvoy and Irene Hankinson. I, Milly Paxton, leave my ability in “Undertaking” to Cora Paskell. I, Hazel Howerth, leave my gift of gab and Brother Bill’s advice to Willard Noce. I, Helen Sherlock, leave my typing ability to Dorothy Sykes. I, Josephine .Zimmer, leave my pleasing personality to Ruth Carney. I, Earl Patton, leave my stubbornness to Arthur Newlon. I’age Forty-two LEXINGTONIAN I, Edwin Gordon, leave my ambition to Dave Kennedy. I, Joe Rodgers, leave Ruthie to Willie Pierce. I, Louise Link, leave my ability as a rail-splitter to Alfred Everitt. We, the Senior Class leave to Miss Goeller all the broken typewriters for her to mend.

L. H. S., Feb. 16, 1928. Dear Clare: I promised to write and tell you about my high school days, so here goes. In the autumn of 1925 there assembled at N. L. H. S. seventy-five ambitious young students. We were called the babies of the high school family. In this position we felt for a short time that we must act according to the advice of our older brothers and sisters. We soon found, however, that we must think for ourselves and assert our own independence. We elected for our president, Dan Jenkins, who steered us through a very successful year. We enjoyed many social functions and were well represented in all the activities of our school. After our return in the fall of 1926 we found we had grown to Sophomores, and that we had diminished in number to seventy-two. At our first meeting we elected Joe Page as our leader. Our class struggled hard through Caesar, Geometry and various other “snap” subjects to which Sophs are exposed. We made our first social bow with a weiner roast. A good time was reported by all. We were well represented in Orchestra, Glee Club, County Band, Mathematics Club and Athletics. With the advice of our able and efficient class officers we soon climbed to a height where we were recognized as Juniors. On September 7, 1927, we entered dear old N. L. H. S. ready to face all the other classes with much spirit and courage. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President, Brannon Everitt; Vice President, Jack Minaugh; Secretary, Arthur Newlon; Treasurer, Frank Cost. Again our class proved a strong factor and we were justly proud of the members that took part in school activities. Our social calendar for this year showed two outstanding dates — November 29, Football Banquet and April 17 —Junior and Senior Reception. Under the very able leadership of our officers and class adviser, Miss Powell, we are almost ready to proclaim ourselves—“Dignified Seniors.” I will write to you again in the near future. With love, MARY McILVOY. LEXINGTONIAN Page Forty-seven Page Forty-eight LEXINGTON IAN CLASS OFFICERS GRADE 10 President .... Vice President Secretary .... Treasurer ....

Time alone will tell who will win. The Sophomores are playing a team which is made up of all other classmen in the big game of high school life. There is a large audience of parents interested because the game is exciting. During the first half, when the players of this Sophomore team were Freshmen, they put up a big fight. That was in nineteen twenty-seven. The half only lasted eight months which was shorter than usual but satisfied the players. The first basket was made by the whole team and was considered luck. Although they were green to the game they received no teasing because the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores were also new to the gym. The next score was made when the team chose Miss Jenkins as their coach and Ned Holden as their captain. Then to make the game more interesting the Sophomores worked together all the half and scored two more points. The other team is not far behind and it will mean hard work for the Sophomores the next half. The teams are supposed to be resting now between halves (April and Sept.), but we see some of them running around. Perhaps that is to keep in practice? Then we hear Mr. Morgan, the referee blowing the whistle and we see Mr. Swartz checking up on the players. The teams are now in action! My, how independent those Sophomores are and notice how much teasing the Freshies get because they don’t know the game. Now, we see some good work and hooray, another basket! They accepted Miss Powell’s advice this second half and elected George Rodgers as their new captain. Because of the Sophomores football heroes they are allowed more credit. The other team is also working hard and the game is certainly exciting. The players are tired now and ask for two weeks time out (Christmas vacation). With more pep they start playing again and after some fine pass-work they make two more baskets. The boys made one by joining the Hi-Y Club and the girls are forming the Alpha Chi Omega society. When the score keeper is reminded that several Sophomores are in the orchestra, county band and Glee Club, he allows them six more points. The game is over and the Sophomores won! How did they make that last basket? Oh, that was because five of their players were found eligible for the Math. Club. We are sorry the game is over, everyone had a jolly good time, but come again in 1929 and 1930 and see this famous team in action again. —Margaret A. Hummel.

Of course we were not new to the High School building but it was a distinct step up in the world to go to classes “upstairs.” As we rushed eagerly about collecting our education, we w'ere frequently misdirected by the upper classmen who, somehow, seemed to find a fiendish and altogether pleasing glee at our discomfiture. But it was not long until we knew where to be and where not to be at specified times, and we soon learned that rushing to classes was not being done. Accordingly we slowed down and now achieved a saunter and manner which rivals the savior-faire of the Seniors, the nonchalance of the Juniors, and the sang-froid of the Sophomores. Why does old Father Time shake his head and frown so? Oh, that must be the weiner roast entry. But his frown soon passes and he nods approvingly as Freshmen branch out into the various activities of high school life. An honorary P’reshman Mathematics Club was formed and the following math sharks were chosen as charter members: President, Robert Owens; Vice President, Mary Margaret Yaw; Secretary, Lawrence Garlinger; Treasurer, Mary Appleman; Fontelle Pettit, Fern Young, Adah Kildow, and Melvin Evans. The operetta, The Gypsy Rover, gave opportunity for some of our boys and girls to sing and dance. Nor have we neglected sports. The unusual honor of making varsity her first year came to Harriet Wilson, while able support was furnished by other Freshman girls. The Junior High Boys’ team was composed almost entirely of Freshman and they distinguished themselves as of old. Freshman Chapel—but need we speak of it? As he closes the book for the year, Father Time seems well pleased at our record. We have had our ups and downs, to be sure but we feel with Father Time that altogether it has been a successful year and we look forward to the reopening of Time’s book when we may write our history as Sophomores.

Seventh graders, the youngest group in the building. The first few days nothing went right. We rushed through the halls bumping into people and causin'g a confusion. At last however, we soon settled down to school life. Last year we were proud to have two of our boys on the Junior High Basketball Team. They were Fred Trout and Alfred Colborn. This year the fall of 1927 found us in the eighth grade all eager to start work. There was not the confusion in the halls this year as there was last year. During our school year we have had many enjoyable events. One of these was a weiner roast which was held at Arethusa Springs. This party was conducted under the leadership of Miss Drury and Mr. Van Atta. This was a marked success and was attended by a large number of pupils. In our eighth grade work we have had a contest between the girls and the boys in Reading and English to see which could attain the highest average. The boys came out in the lead. As this is our last year in Junior High School we feel as though we should express our appreciation to our teachers, our principal, and our superintendent for all the interest they have taken in our welfare.

On the sixth of September, 1927, a calm, peaceful autumnal day, the good ship of New Lexington Junior High School stood at anchor at the wharf of a new school year. It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to safe harbor in the Land of Great Wisdom. With passengers from the seventh grade fourteen boys and eighteen girls, happily stepped aboard to set sail over new and untried water. We were enthusiastic and asked many eager questions of our captain concerning our journey . It did not take long to become acquainted with our fellow passengers, nor to feel at home with our pilot, the Captain, the Steward and even the Porter. We lost all fear of shipwreck with so able a staff of seamen. Of course there were a few cases of seasickness and various ones were tempted to throw up English and Geography and other disagreeable dishes. The Stewards finally assured them that they would only have to retain these indi-gestibles until they were assimilated and so they bravely managed to hold them down. The tides of our averages have continued to ebb and flow and so far we have been able to withstand the billows of examination questions that have tried to overwhelm us. On our passenger list are musicians, actresses, artists, warriors, authors, lecturers, and one United States President. Do not ask me to specify the which or the who. Ask me twenty years from now and I may be better able to say, for the beginning of the voyage gives only a glimpse of the ocean of life.

The first year work is cooking and nutrition, sewing and art. The second year have nutrition, home decorating, furnishing, management and child care. Project work is carried on by both classes during the summer. This gives one-fourth credit extra, making two and one-half credits for two years work. Miss Catherine Winter is the very efficient instructor of both classes. This picture shows first and second years together.

Page Sixty LEXINGTONIAN Jhusiral izfrucatimt 3!nstntriinn When we entered our new High School building in the fall of 1926, we were confronted with many additions to our former curriculum. As it is one of the requirements of the State Department of Education that each pupil shall have one hundred minutes of physical education each week, we have several gymnasium classes for this purpose. This requirement has been carried out in a very efficient manner under the direction of Miss Catherine Goeller, the girls’ Physical Education director, and Mr. Myron Fowler, director of Athletics for the boys. The above picture is a representative group of the girls’ class. To the casual observer a Physical Education class presents a kaleidoscopic picture. There one may see all styles of gym clothes and all types of people. All in a breathless hurry to get there in time for roll call. If one listens closely, he may hear many different opinions concerning this particular phase of school work. Occasionally a student will “cut” and then will spend the period worrying over it. This new addition to our school life has added some diversity to our work and since we have found out just how much enjoyment we may have in our gym, the classes there are always anticipated with pleasure.

Assistant Coach Thomas Morgan .................Athletic Manager Page Seventy-two LEXINGTONIAN iFnutball Captain “Bake” Hazlett (End) played his second year of high school football as end. His first year of football being played at tackle. He knows football, and he understands his men. He had a knack of keeping their confidence and injecting the old pep into them that helps win games for the Black and Gold. Hazlett will be lost to the team next year by his graduation. George Rodgers (Tackle) played his first year on the varsity team. He was a dependable player both on offense and defense. He was often responsible for stopping strong plays before they were started. George has two more years to play football and we are looking for him to star in those two years. Homer Feigley (Guard). As a l’esult of real hard work and tenacity, Homer won his letter last fall. He made his first showing against New Straitsville. His fine work made him one of the outstanding players of the game. This is Homer’s last year. “Johnnie” Wilder (Center) his first year as a varsity player for N. L. showed that he was well acquainted with the center position. He continually opened large gaps in the enemy’s wall and thus allowed N. L. backs to go through. This is “Johnnie’s” last year. Pearl Appleman (Guard) made his first showing in a black and gold uniform last fall. He had the fighting spirit that helped us to win many of the games. Although outweighed by many of the guards whom he opposed “Perk” always outplayed these men, who could put it over him on size, but not in brain and fight. He was a consistent man on the offence and defence. “Perk” will be with us next year. “Dave” Kennedy (Tackle) was one of the bulwarks in the aggressive and stonewall line that New Lex had last fall. “Dave” was large and fast and he held a rather undisputed claim to the position that he played all season. He was a literal bearcat in every department of the game. He was not the sensational kind of a player; he was on the job all the time. His smallest opponent of the season, was the tackle on the Bremen team. This is “Dave’s” last year. “Les” Strawn (End) made his first appearance in N. L. football togs last fall. “Les” filled an end position on the black and gold eleven and he was found to be equally adept at pulling in the long passes of the backfield men, and at playing a defensive game. This is “Les’s” last year as he will graduate. “Zep” Bland (Quarter). This was “Zep’s” third year out for football, and this year he was field general on the N. L. team. “Zep’s” quick thinking, and accurate passing of the ball helped N. L. to win many a hard fought game. When the other backs failed to gain, “Zep” would circle the ends for nice gains. “Zep” graduates this year and it will be hard for Coach Fowler to fill his place. “Joe” Rodgers (Half). This was “Joe’s” second year as a halfback on the N. L. team. He was more than dependable both at stopping the backs of the enemy elevens, and at carrying the ball. “Joe” did all the punting for the team. And in more than one game “Joe” intercepted forward passes and ran for winning touchdowns. This is “Joe’s” last year. “Rex” Allen (Half). Three years as a football player for N. L., and those same three years of dependable work and service is the record that “Rex” has established for himself and his school on the gridirons of Perry County. “Rex’s” also had a lot of fighting spirit that helped us to win more than one hard fought game. This is also “Rex’s” last year. “Virge” Houk (Full). Whenever a few yards were needed all the field general had to do was call the full back signal, give the ball to “Virge” and it went over. He was equally adept at circling the ends. “Virge” has two more years of football at New Lex and we are expecting him to be the big go in those two years. “Bob” Ferguson (Quarter). This was “Bob’s” second year out for football. Although not a regular he fought hard while in the game. “Hawkeye” Dodson (End). By his good work and hard playing he won his letter. Floyd has two more years on the gridiron. LEXINGTON IAN Page Seventy-three “Don” Dodson (Guard). “Don’s” first year out for football. Although not a regular but by hard playing and a lot of fighting spirit he was elected captain for next year. “Don” Stalter (Guard). This was “Don’s” second year out for football. By his good playing while in the game he won his letter. “Don” has another year with the Black and Gold. HONORABLE MENTIONS:— Jack Minaugh Charles King George Weiland Walter Carney Paul Stowe Paul Spurgeon Allan Morrisey These men are to be congratulated for staying out all season, and thus were responsible for the good team that New Lex. had this fall. Myron Fowler (Director of Athletics). For two years Coach Fowler has been the man behind the New Lex teams in football, basketball, and track. His work as Athletic Director has been from the first order. He came to New Lex from Rio Grande. His work in coaching the N.

FLOYD DODSON “Hawkeye” plays center and in spite of his inexperience he has proved his right to a place on the team. “Hawkeye” has two more years.

Being an excellent pivot, no guard proved an obstacle for her. She was one of the highlights of our team, always making her share of the baskets. This is Relna’s last year with us and with graduation N. L. H. S. loses one of the best forwards she has ever had. ESTHER KIMBALL “Lou,” forward, could always be depended upon to make points just when we needed them. Her three years experience in basketball made her a “crack” shot both in foul shooting and field goals. Much to the regret of the school Esther leaves us this year. DOROTHY PAXTON “Dot,” jumping center, was the mainstay of our team. She, being very tall, never met her superior at the toss up. “Dot” is well known for her long shots. She was always where we needed her. To appreciate her ability to play, was to see her play. She also is a senior. HARRIET WILSON “Wilson,” running center, with her ability to run and jump, she proved a great asset to the team. She is only a freshman and much is expected of her in the future. MARJORIE DAVIDSON “Margie,” guard, played a good brand of basketball, always keeping her forward to a low score. She is a junior this year and will no doubt be one of the mainstays of the team next year. BERTHA BROWN “Buddy,” guard, was always seen “sticking to her man” and always kept her opponents to a low score. She showed exceptional ability as a guard. As this is her junior year she will be heard from next year. To the subs, Edith Stafford, Mary Fristoe, Margaret Hummel, and Marjorie Minaugh, we attribute the success of our team. For without the strong opposition which they afforded us we could have done nothing. To Miss Goeller, our coach, who put all her time in practicing basketball, we give our appreciation.

When two such gangs get together there is certainly nothing lacking! Miss Goeller, our coach, and Miss Powell, the society’s adviser, were there to chaperon the party. It would be difficult for one to say just what was the outstanding form of entertainment since everyone seemed to be having such a good time in “her” own particular way. The Jolly Six served lunch and after dancing and more card playing, we decided to end our fun for the evening. We are sure the members of the squad enjoyed themselves, and we were glad that we could do something for the team and coach. Alpha Chi Omega Girls.

It was organized by six Sophomore girls with Pauline Cooksey as president, for the purpose of encouraging school activities. The society’s pep and loyalty have been shown in many ways the past year, by such affairs as the girls’ basketball banquet which will always be a cherished memory in the hearts of all members of the squad.

Hoffman, who has proved to be one of the best musical leaders in this part of Ohio. The orchestra was organized the first of the year and has been presented once, at the Teachers’ Institute. It consists of ninety-six mernbers, representing the following towns: Junction City, Crooksville, Shawnee, New Straitsville, McLuney, Corning, Rendville, and New Lexington. The band was organized after Christmas vacation, having representatives from the same schools. It has not yet made its appearance in public. Local members of this organization are: Naomi Underwood, Pauline Adams, Frances Bennett, Elma Ansel, Frank Bennett, Frank Hayden, Edwin Gordon, Adrian Nader, Homer Feighley, Esther Kimball, Carl David, Clarence Coakley, Earl Hazlett, Marjorie Davidson, Robert Weller, Mary Ellen Paskell, Dan Jenkins, Bertha Brown, and Allen Conn. Esther Kimball. ’iiRe Eighty-four EXINGTONIAN ©mcatimral Jftlnts This year has given to us visual education which is a new feature in our curriculum. Each week we receive films from the State Department dealing with various phases of life. Through these we see the actual scenes of the places we study about in geography and observe the governments of the nations in practice as well as in theory. It proved to be very interesting to see where silk comes from and how it is made ready for us to purchase in the department stores. The film “From the Rice Field to the Pudding” was very interesting as rice is not grown in the northern states. Through these moving pictures we have become acquainted with some of the new nations and new forms of governments which have been established since the World War. Some of the most interesting that we have had are “Poland—Re-born,” “Russia,” and “The Making Over of the British Empire.” The workings of our own government have not been neglected. We have had brought to us pictures of Congress in session and the way in which the business of the modern government machine, but we have also traced the constitution from its beginning in the early days of the Republic, down through the stormy periods that have marked the history, watching it grow and adapt itself as the necessities of the people require it. The value of this means of education can hardly be over estimated and in the coming school year it is hoped that even more films can be available for the pupils of the N. L. H. S.

We will stand for her united, Of her deeds we gladly tell; Her colors streaming, Glad faces beaming, So here’s a 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.” ’age Eighty-six LEX! N (i T ONIA N (Chapel It has always been and still is the custom to have chapel every Friday morning. Each minister in town took his turn in conducting these chapels and always delivered an interesting address. Each class provided a program for the Friday convocations. The Seniors first, of course, and the other grades following in turn. We could not name any certain teacher as being responsible for the success of these chapel exercises for they all did their part although they did not have charge of them. The Senior Assembly took us back to the gay “Nineties,” and much to our pleasure and amusement we saw the faculty as they were when young and care-free. Grade Eleven provided an entirely new entertainment through the courtesy of Mr. Elbert Williams and gave us an opportunity to see ourselves as others see us. We even saw the football boys running back from the line of scrimmage. The Grade Ten chose for their chapel a Junior Chautauqua. This was a very well balanced program as all Chautauquas are. It ended with the finale “I Scream, We All Scream for Ice Scream!” Grade Nine offered us a Puppet Show and gaily the Marionettes stepped around as the old, old, man pulled the strings—who can forget “Hallelujah?” The Junior High School gave us their program in the form of a magazine which brought in several popular numbers as well as some old-timers. Hazel Howerth. (Out 3Gihrary With our advent in the new high school building in 1926 came the necessity for the improvement of many of our departments of school life. One of the most needy of these was our library. On account of inadequate space for shelving and the remoteness of the library room, our interest had been allowed to lag and teachers had attempted to make up, from their own books, for the insufficient supply of reference material. Our Superintendent and the School Board, by their generous grants of funds, have attempted this year to build up a working library that is available to the students at all times. Gradually out-of-date reference books, worn-out volumes, and unnecessary material have been relegated to a place where it can be used to better advantage, since our aim is to have only information that is authentic and accurate, and to dispense with unnecessary material in order to make way for new editions. Last year, the clubs of the town and other organizations as well as individuals very kindly donated books from their own collections and contributed sums with which to buy new volumes. This year, the Board of Education was in a position to set aside a fund for additions to the library. Mr. Swartz has gone over the State List of High School Books with the librarian and teachers and they together have selected reference books for all departments of the curriculum. Since it is required that all students in the high school read a certain number of books and make written reports on them, it has been found that books of fiction were very scarce. The largest portion of the library fund was expended on books of fiction, biography, and essay. Although our library is far from complete yet, the progress which has been made in this department is looked upon with pride by the student body.
