L. H. S. Most of us were destined to become the famous “Forty-Niners.” Many of the members of our class were awed by the new experience of high school, but to about one-third of us it was old stuff. We had spent our seventh and eighth grade years here, and we knew all the ropes. Our class advisers were Miss Newlon, Mrs. Blatt, and Mr. Neff, and with their guidance we struggled through our freshman year. We thought we had to work very hard that year, but later discovered we hadn’t “seen anything yet.” The class was capably led by Tommy Richards, President; Rex Masterson, Vice-president; Don Elkins, Secretary; Dale Shiplett, Treasurer. We had a Freshman Skating Parly wfetifih was a big success, but otherwise there were few class activities. The fact of greatest pride to us was that we already rated a letterman, Ade Wollenberg, on our championship football team. He was one of the outstanding players until his shoulder was injured. MEDIEVAL HISTORY The following year we again assembled at dear old N. L. H. S. We had lost a few members, but no one had died from overwork. This year we numbered 96. Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Priode, and Mr. Weaver were now our sponsors, and they led us successfully through a year of hard work and more activities. The class officers this year were Dick Rankin, President; Bob Byers, Secretary; Miriam Watts, Treasurer. We sponsored a “Sadie Hawkins” Dance and another skating party. We had begun to look forward to our Junior and Senior years when a bank account would be a necessary item. We were rightfully proud of another championship football team upon which we placed several members. During our Freshman year we had been joined by Ralph Watts who was a valuable addition to the squad, and at the beginning of the Sophomore year by Bob Byers. Bob was stopped by a broken leg, but not before he showed us what he could do on the football field. We were also represented on the team by Ade Wollenberg and Dick Rankin. MODERN HISTORY Our Junior year was an eventful one and when it began we numbered 87. We were in the study hall under Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Weaver, and we really enjoyed ourselves! This year we were out to make money, and we worked hard at it. There were football and basketball refreshment stands, stands at noon, a magazine drive with much rivalry between sides, scarf sales, a Christmas Dance, and other activities. All these successes would have been impossible without the loyal co-operation of the whole class. Our President, Tommy Richards, was a real go-getter, and he was ably assisted by Bob Byars, Vice-president; Dale Shiplett, Secretary; Ade Wollenberg, Treasurer. Perhaps what we shall most remember is our rivalry with the Seniors of that year. It was really in a friendly spirit in spite of ail the insults we hurled back and forth. Another pleasant memory is our Junior Day program which we all worked on so diligently. We believed that we deserved a rest after our labors, and many of us took it along with the consequences. The crowning events of the whole year were our Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. These had been the object of all our money-making, and we were pleased to find that they were very successful. The theme of the occasion was the Mardi Gras, and it was carried out in every detail with the aid of our advisers’ careful planning. Class History AMERICAN HISTORY Then—our senior year! What a surprise it was to some of us who never thought we would make it. There were 79 of us. Again Mrs. Bailey and Mr. Weaver ably assisted us. Again we were led by Tommy Richards as President, and Bob Byers as Vice-president; Betty Shumaker was our Secretary, and Mary Ellen Newlon our Treasurer. And what a successful year it was! Another championship football team with many classmates as members. In our Junior year we greeted Bill Wollenberg and he proved to be a valuable addition to our athletic program. He made our 1948 grid season outstanding, and aiding him were Vito Bibari, Bob Byers, Bill Dusenberry, George Hotra, Sam Fiore, Doug Hilliard, Don Lewis, Dick Rankin, Richard Seaman, Doc Shiplett, Chuck Snider, and Adc Wollenberg. Our basketball team were champs too, and here again Bill Wollenberg was a star. Our other boys on the team were Doc Shiplett, Ade Wollenberg, Chuck Snider, Dick Rankin, Bill Dusenberry, Gene Blanton, Don Lewis, and Bob Byers. We had many members representing us in the band also, and it was really snappy looking with its new uniforms. We were especially proud of Marilyn Strawn who was head drum-majorette. This was the year we elected the Homecoming Queen, and we chose Mary Ellen Newlon for the honor. The Home-coming ceremony was beautiful, and we were pleased with our Queen. With the aid of Mr. Weaver our class has published this annual. We did this so that we can look back and recall our high school years more easily. They have been happy and profitable ones, and we shall never forget or regret them. —NOREEN VAN ATTA, Historian Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1949 Where there’s a will, there’s an inheritance tax. —SHAKESPOKE We. the Senior Class of New Lexington High School in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-nine, fully realizing that we will soon pass out of existence as a class, and believing ourselves to be absolutely sound in mind, memory, and judgment, do hereby, in all our innocence, make and declare this our Last Will and Testament for the purpose of disposing of certain assets, disadvantages, and responsibilities unto our inferior classmates and superior faculty.

To Mr. Fournier, in recognition of a trying position, we leave a season ticket to the Canadian lakes where he can have absolute rest and can recuperate during the summer after a wearing year o trying to keep up with the Seniors.

To Mr. Neff we leave what remains of the chemistry lab and equipment (if he can locate it) for his future science classes. To Miss Newlon we leave our nerve, backbone, and determination.

We leave Mr. Priode our fluency of speech. We were always noted as a talkative bunch. We leave the Junior Class to Mrs. Sheeran. We are sure they will listen sympathetically to her troubles. We leave Mrs. James Van Atta with her heart full of sorrow at losing all our sweet voices in her glee club.

We entered as timid freshmen; We leave as graduates bold, And we find it hard Jo realize The knowledge our young heads hold. We’ve had our foolish notions Knocked higher than Franklin’s kite; Our minds have been made over. And we know it served us right. We’ve spent four years in labor hard To prove the fact once more That life is quite confused, And two and two are seldom four. We’re crammed to the brim with learning And now we must turn it to use, And if one of us is a failure, He hasn’t a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk, The better results we shall get. For we’ve had four years of training; It may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly As high school seniors should; We’re proud of New Lexington High School; It’s done us a lot of good. —JOANNE BOUDINOT Class Poet NAME WHERE FOUND 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 33. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38.

From left to right: Delores Deshler, Rose Marie Prichard, Thea Toll, Mary Newlon, Mary Lou Prichard, Catherine Rehart, and Shirley Blanton. The center picture is the second string. They played as a unit in the Bremen and Crooksville games. They were strong enough to score against Bremen's first string. At the bottom left is the band in one of their formations. The band put on many excellent half time shows at the games. FIRST ROW (Left to Right): . Shiplett, Rankin, Spicer, Penrod, Snider, Maxwell, Byers, Dibari, Lewis.

Bob Penrod was placed on the second team, and Dale Shiplett and Ade Wollenberg won honorable mention. This was another of New Lex’s fine teams.

Under the direction of Mr. G. Allen Conn, they have participated in many different activities. The half-time shows at the football games were enjoyed by all the local and out of town fans. The band marched in an Eagles’ parade in Lancaster, taking first place in that contest. This was an honor for the school as well as the band. Fifteen members of the band took part in the Spring Music Festival in Gallipolis. The trip was enjoyed by all who were privileged to go. The annual concert, held April 8, was a success, and it ended another y ear’s activities for the band. Band members are: George Kelley, Bob Grey, Mike Wilson, Hal Saffell, Bob Smith, John Taylor, Irene Shumaker, Judy Huffman, Emma Lou Johnson, Shirley Berry, Mary Smith, Delores Dardinger, Nelda Holcomb, Sara Ann Starn-er, Joanne Sidell, Bob Strawn, Dick Cotterman, Dwight Jaynes, Carol Webb, Wilma Weaver, Harry Deavers, Bob Miller, Dick McGonagle, Nancy Welker, Marvin Allen, Betty Dusenberry, Larry Deavers, Judy Martindale, Alice Hankin-son, John Holden, Delores Deshler, Nancy Hoops, Yvonne Hall, Donna Holt, Martha Dickerson, Jack Wilson, Paul Wilson, Lynn Wheatcraft, Jimmy Toll, Rachel Rodgers, Margot Holden, Charlotte Pletcher, and Drum Majorettes Marilyn Strawn, Velma Tracy, Leah Koher and Joyce Underwood. STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS PRESIDENT ..................... DON LEWIS VICE-PRESIDENT ............. GENE BLANTON SECRETARY ................. NANCY WELKER TREASURER ........................... ANNE WAGNER By this time the Student Council has become an established, known, and desirable factor in the high school. It really needs no extra applause except as thanks to its members and adviser. Some of the activities undertaken by the Student Council were: the Dad’s day program at the Glouster football game, charge of Homecoming at the Crooks-ville football game, joined the National Association of Student Council, wrote articles for the “Student Speaks” column in the Tribune, a health program in assembly, sent money for a food package to some needy Chinese student. The members who are elected to represent their classes are as follows: Betty Wolfe, Nancy Welker, Don Lewis, Gene Blanton. Dick Allen, Bill McDonald, Anne Wagner. Velma Tracey, James Anderson, John Fiore, Susanna Welker. Billy Abram, Robert Plaisted. Jerry White, T. J. Hankinson, Mitizie Thompson, Donna Holt, Charles Ramsell. We wish at this time to thank Miss Gladys Barker for helping to make the year 1949 such a success. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY BACK ROW: Mrs. Walter Priode, adviser; Nancy Welker; Don Lewis. FRONT ROW: Earbara Conaway; Noreen Van Atta. The new members initiated on April 13, 1949 were Joyce Levering, Esther McGaughey, Roger Sheeran, and Velma Tracy—Juniors; Eugene Blanton, Robert Flowers. Evelyn Hammond, Thomas Richards, Mary Smith, Eetty Shumaker, and Betty Lee Wolfe—Seniors. I I L I I I I U ■ ' y _rv JUNIOR CLASS FLAY This year’s Junior Class Play, “The Darling Brats,” was considered by many as an outstanding one. Evidence of this is the fact that an attendance record was set. In the play, Babs and Hank used all their devilment to persuade Aunt Agatha to marry John Henry Judd, a former friend who had turned cowboy, instead of A. Appleton Crabb, a crabby old man with plenty of money. The rest of the cast found various plans to try to influence her one way or another. The cast was: Joyce Levering as Cynthia Darling; Dick Allen, Spike Sperling; Betty Miller, Junebug; Paul Mooney, Rod Vinton; Joyce Underwood, Babs Darling; Bob White, Hank Darling; Lyn Wheatcraft, A. Appleton Crabb; Alice Hankinson, Aunt Agatha; Vernalee Jacobs; Esther McGaughey, Mrs. Vinton; and Bob Penrod, John Henry Judd. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Walter Priode. r THE STAFF Faculty Advisor ............................................

After .completing this course with the aid of a dual control car, they were awarded driver’s licenses. For the benefit of upper classmen, a vocational guidance room was set up under the supervision of Mrs. James Van Atta. Here reference material may be obtained to help the students choose their careers. As an addition to the recreational program, square dancing was held once a week during the noon hour. This project is under the supervision of Mr. Pangle from the Farm Bureau at Somerset. Suffrage was given to the students of New Lexington High School on Nov. 1 when the students held a mock election. The Student Council was in charge. On November 11th the Public Speaking Class presented the annual Prince of Peace Contest. First and second place went to Noreen Van Atta and Dick Rankin, the alternates being Phyllis Gallagher and Mary Lou Prichard. _ THE VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM THE RESERVE BASKETBALL TEAM Basketball Schedule VARSITY New Lexington ............. 39 New Lexington ............. 66 New Lexington ............. 25 New Lexington ............. 55 New Lexington ............. 61 New Lexington ............. 30 New Lexington ............. 50 New Lexington ............. 47 New Lexington ............. 66 New Lexington ............. 61 New Lexington ............. 69 New Lexington ............. 38 New Lexington .._............. 51 New Lexington ............. 52 New Lexington ............. 36 New Lexington ............. 69 New Lexington ............. 47 New Lexington ............. 46 New Lexington ............. 70 New Lexington ............. 54 New Lexington ............. 44 Meredith Business College..........35 Glouster ......................... 38 Caldwell ......................... 23 Roseville ........................ 32 Malta-McConnelsville ............. 28 New Concord ...................... 49 Philo ............................ 48 Alumni ........................... 30 All Star Alumni .................. 24 Crooksville ...................... 33 Bremen ........................... 49 Caldwell ......................... 29 Glouster...........................43 Roseville ........................ 38 St. Thomas ....................... 28 Malta-McConnelsville ............. 24 New Concord ...................... 32 Philo ............................ 29 Lancaster St. Mary’s ............. 47 Crooksville ...................... 24 Logan ............................ 39 RESERVE New Lexington ................. 53 New Lexington ................. 21 New Lexington ................. 36 New Lexington ................. 35 New Lexington ................. 48 New Lexington ................. 27 New Lexington ................. 44 New Lexington ................. 49 New Lexington ................. 22 New Lexington ................. 28 New Lexington ................. 21 New Lexington ................. 37 New Lexington ................. 26 New Lexington ................. 43 New Lexington ................. 43 New Lexington ................. 30 New Lexington ................. 23 New Lexington ................. 48 New Lexington ................. 35 Glouster ........................ 29 Caldwell ........................ 17 Roseville ....................... 23 Malta-McConnelsville ............ 21 New Concord ..................... 23 Philo ........................... 31 Pleasantville ................... 28 Crooksville ..................... 13 Bremen .......................... 20 Caldwell ........................ 34 Glouster ........................ 22 Roseville ....................... 21 St. Thomas ...................... 27 Malta-McConnelsville ............ 26 New Concord ..................... 25 Philo ........................... 14 Lancaster St. Mary’s ............ 16 Crooksville ...................... g Logan ........................... i6 The varsity basketball team of this year has the best record of the school’s history. The team was beaten only once in the Muskingum Valley League play. In the district finals of the tournament, New Lex faced Junction City, holders of the Perry County Championship, and beat the Jaycees 63-61 in an overtime game. In the regional contest, the team met their toughest competition, and the tallest team they had played all season. In the State Semi-Finals, New Lex was defeated by a tall Delphos Saint John’s team. But the boys had set a new record for some team in the future to break. r Tournament DISTRICT New Lexington 53 Thornville .... New Lexington 43 Carbon Hill ...
