The Panthers opened their season by edging Logan 7-6. After a two-week lay off the Panthers avenged earlier losses to John Glenn by beating them 20 - 0. The Panthers then beat four more opponents before losing a heartbreaker to Morgan. The Panthers promptly came back and won their last two games. The highlight of the season was when Maysville had the ball on the one yard line with four downs to score. The Panthers held them and thus produced their fifth straight M.V.L. championship. A feat which no other team has ever done. Coach James Rockwell guided the gridders to success. He was aided by an experienced coaching staff consisting of coaches Larry Barnhouse and Larry Saffell. Also assisting him were coaches Allen Smith, Ken Stalter, and Mike Sherlock. This was Coach Rockwell’s fifteenth year as head coach of the Panthers. During this period he has obtained a winning percentage of 80.0% with a record of 109-27-11. M 15 Homecoming With Queen Kathy Queen Kathy Murray Sheridan. Defeated1 The 1973 Homecoming Queen was Kathy Murray. As Kathy stated, I was so very happy and honored to be elected as Homecoming Queen for our school. She felt that the program went smooth and quick. She was also very happy that the panthers beat Sheridan that night with a score of 39-0. At the Homecoming Dance Kathy thought that the band, Tobacco Road, was exceptionally good. The theme for the dance was Catch a Falling Panther Star.” Queen Kathy’s Escort was Rick Allen. Her Maid of Honor was Sherie Shumaker with Pete Finck as her escort. The other finalists were Karen Kinsel with Mark Caulk as her escort, Mary Pat McTeague with Paul Meikle as her escort, and Janet Cronin with Chuck Edwards as her escort.

BOTTOM ROVt -Debbie Miller, Nancy Howdy shell, and Cheryl Beach 20 Butterfly Dracula I Never Saw Another Butterfly was the dramatic play that was presented this fall. It was a heart-breaking play based upon a book which contained the writings of many Jewish children who lived in the German concentration camp at Tenezin. This play was centered around a girl named Raja Englanderova, portrayed by Marianne Brown, who told of her life during Hitler’s reign over Germany. She described the way her family had to move to the ghettoes and then how they were taken to the camps and killed in gas chambers. She told how many of her younger friends were burnt to death in large ovens. She also told of her love, a boy named Honza, played by Max Gregory, and the hardships that they had together and how he was taken away from her. Her teacher, Irena Synkova, played by Alexis Volek, who was her last friend that was left, and was finally taken away, leaving Raja alone to start her life all over again after Hitler's death. A beautiful performance by all of the students. This play was directed by Mr. Charles Diezman. The first Drama Club Play was directed by Miss Betsy Kodak. Dracula was first written by Bram Stoker in the 1800’s. Since then, it has been made into a play and also a movie. The famous Voide Dracula, King of the Vampires, had lived in Transylvania for as long as ten life times stocking the countryside drawing blood from the necks of sleeping victims. Upon the invention of the airplane, Dracula moved to an old ruined castle called Carefax near Purley, England where the play Dracula takes place. He traveled by night and brought with him six earth boxes in which to rest during the day. Count Dracula (Dave Hill) took as a victim Miss Lucy Seward (Rhonda Williams) in hopes to make her the Queen of the Vampires. Upon finding his daughter drained of her blood for no apparent reason, Dr. Seward (Mike Mooney) Lucy’s father, called in an old friend and specialist Professor Van Helsing (Beth Potter). Dr. Seward, who is the head of an asylum has an unusuai patient named Renfiels (Danny Kokensparger) who eats flies and spiders. Butterworth (Fred Ansel) the attendant can never keep track of Renfiels and when Van Helsing noticed this unusual case he immediately suspected it was the work of a vampire. Immediately, John Harker (Mike Williams) Lucy's boyfriend began to research and found that this was the work of the great Voide Dracula. In the end they finally find Dracula's last earth box and save Lucy and Renfield’s souls. New Lexington Varsity 22 FRONT: Dean Barnes and Greg Miller BACK: Coach Bowman. Jake Stewart. Jeff Danison.

Jerry Gregory, and Ned Underwood Although the 1973-1974 edition of NLHS basketball did not win as many games as past panther quintets, they showed a tremendous amount of hustle, determination and a winning attitude. After a tough season against very competitive M.V.L. teams, the Panthers pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season in this area with a victory over the highly rated Vinton County Squad in the sectional tournament. Coach Dick Bowman has stated: I am pleased with the efforts of this Panther team, and enjoyed coaching boys with so much enthusiasm for the game of basketball. 23 New Lexington Reserve FRONT: Coach Bethel and Bob Meikle. manager BACK: Rock Walters.

The team was made up of several sophomores and coached by Mr. Richard Bethel Tim Shumaker, Rick Parker. Mike Randolph. Pat Smith, Mitch Nash, and Jeff Griggs. 25 Carol Talbot, Teresa Seimer, Debbie Blosser, Karen Wycinski, Charma Buck, Susie Buckley, Karen Kinsel. Margaret Hammond. and Patsy Allison Girls’ Basketball Sweat, anxiety, and sportsmanship are a few expected qualities, as the Girls’ Basketball team had a successful season in 1974. The team plays in an M.V.L. League and consists of varsity and reserve teams. Teresa Siemer was high scorer for the team as she averaged twenty-one points per game. The team traveled to Sheridan for the Sheridan Invitational Tournament and placed second in the contest. Varsity posted a 4-4 season record while the reserves posted a 7-1 league mark. 26 RESERVE: Marsha Grigsby. Tammy Fisher. Penny Starner, Tina Bower. Darla Scheffler. Pat Middaugh, and Belinda Brown Whiz Quiz Team FRONT: Mike Kelley and Rick Carter. BACK: Kent Thompson Not being able to capture the championship as the Whiz Kids Quiz Team did last year, this year the Quiz team proved to be ambitious and willing to capture the title, but was unsuccessful in doing so. Losing in the first round to John Glenn by a score of 115-110. The match was an exciting and competitive contest. To be eligible for the Quiz Team, one must have a Brian Potts. Mike Mooney, and Paul Meikle high average aptitude test score, high IQ test scores, college entrance tests, and then teachers must recommend the student. There is much involved in being a member of the team. One must have quick recall, quick reflexes, and a very important element is the desire to be a member of team. 27 Varsity Imagination and ability were put well together as the varsity and reserve cheerleaders boosted the team and roused the fans for the traditional winning season for New Lexington sports. Pep rallies were held during the day and bon-fires held during the night to arouse the fans spirit for the games to follow. With the imagination of the varsity and reserve cheerleaders, comedy skits were well received by both students and faculty. Many long, hard, hours were spent after school as they perfected cheers, attempted new routines and prepared for pep rallies. Never knowing the outcome of the game, the devoted fans and cheerleaders kept the spirit alive. Sherie. Bonita. Paula. Cheryl. Teresa. Paula H. 28 Cheerleaders take time for a picture.

To enter the dance one had to dress in the style of Sadie Hawkins. The best dressed couple award was given to Denise Hogenmiller and Keith Luzadder. When entering the dance, one voted for a queen and Helen Merckle was crowned Sadie Hawkins Queen. The Cafeteria was decorated with straw and other country items giving it the Sadie Hawkins look. Miss Helen Merckle Sadie Hawkins Dance Queen 32 The 1950’s Or 1974? The 1950’s came back to NLHS in March. The Student Council sponsored the day asking the student body to participate. Girls came with bright red lip stick, white socks and let us not forget the saddles. Boys with slick hair and straight leg pants were a sight to be seen. Joe Cool was picked as Mike Lollo and Miss Teen Angel was Sherie Shumaker. The day was a great success and was ended with a dance. Joe Cool. Mike Lollo; Teresa Robinson, Miss Teen Angel.

New Lexington High School Presents Oliver featuring Oliver..................................Jeff Owens Fagin .........................Steve Boyden Nancy.........................Bonita Tackett Bill Sikes ...................Chuck Edwards Artful Dodger ................Bob Herendeen Pickpockets In New Lex. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Diezman, the musical cast presented “Oliver as the seventh spring musical to hit New Lexington High. It is a story which tells of the life of a young boy named Oliver, who lived in an English workhouse, was sold to an undertaker, where he ran away and joined a group of thieves, and in the end, he finds out that he belongs to a wealthy family whose daughter (Oliver's mother) had ran away. It was a magnificent production as this was only the second time that a musical cast has had an orchestra to accompany them. 37 38 Steve Boyden as Fagin. New Lexington Golf Team The Panthers were the Muskingum Valley League season champions, were the runnersup in the MVL Tournament, and tied for the Southeastern Ohio Dist. Tourney Championship in regulation play only to lose a sudden death playoff to Gallipolis two days later on the third hole. They, thus, received the second-place trophy there. Tim Wollenberg represented New Lexington and the entire Southeastern Ohio Dist. at the State Golf Meet in Columbus.

The French Club helped pay the way of twenty people to go to France. The club has been working on this project for three years. The trip lasted nine days and was enjoyed by all who went. The group saw the Eiffel Tower. Louvre. Arche de Triumphe, and several other interest places. To make money for the trip, the club sold trash bags and sponsored a raffle on a huge stuffed rabbit. This is the first under-taking of this sort and it is hoped there are many more in the future. STANDING: Randy Johnson. Tony Dobosiewicz. Mitch Nash, Mike Householder. Mike Harris.

Jim Rockwell, the Dean of MVL Coaching, will resign his track job at the conclusion of this school year after completing 15 years as the Panthers’ head track coach. Under the direction of Coach Rockwell the MVL Track Championship Meet was instituted in 1961. At that time only five schools ran a track program and only two schools had a track, Rockwell pointed out. Since that time the league has expanded to 10 teams and the competition is stronger. Coach Rockwell's teams have won 11 MVL Track championships: in 1961, ’62, ’63, ’64, ’65, ’66, '67, ’69, 70, 71, and 1972. We have had several of our track-men in the State Meet including Rick Roy, Terry Fitzgerald, Mike Griggs, Jim Rockwell (Jr.), Andy and Joe Dickerson, Everitt Tracey, Glenn Rambo, Ron Colborn, and this year Fred Ansel. Coach Rockwell believes that a good track program will do more to improve the quality of other sport activities than any other sport. Bob Tague. District contestant 54 Retiring Coach Rockwell F.F.A.

The class of 1974 spent two years in the old high school and two in the new. When freshmen they entered cautiously, yet their entrance was known. During their sophomore years they sold soap to make money for the prom. Also during this year, classrings were ordered. The Junior year of the class of 1974 was definitely an exciting year. The class held slave day to make more money for the prom. The prom was held at the end of May. The class made the decorations at the fairgrounds and then decorated the cafeteria the day before the prom. The prom’s theme was Love Sweet Love. The last year of the seniors went by with such events as Kathy Murray as Homecoming Queen, Helen Merckle as Sadie Hawkins Queen, and Linda Lemaster as Prom Queen. On June 2, 1974 one hundred fifty-eight students graduated from New Lexington High School. 74 Fred Ansel laughs It up Homecoming Queen Kathy and Escort Rick 75 76 Chuck . . . Eat up Jake!

Lisa Mooney was elected president; Darla Scheffler as Vice-president; Nancy Howdyshell, secretary; and Karen Wycinski as treasurer. As their major project, the sophomores chose to undertake the selling of popcorn kits. They also had the coat check at the home basketball games. The history-making event was the early ordering and the early receiving of class rings.

There is studying that has to be done. They learn about the different types of journalism and the work that is done in forming the ideas of a news event into a news story, and they learn this in one semester! This year the class went to the Perry County Tribune Office to study how the presses operate and to look at the old presses that the office has kept. The students have to write up articles each week, which they are graded, and some of their stories are published in the school newspaper. Their instructor is Mrs. Barbara Wolfe. 137 Lexingtonian Staff Tries... The 1974 Lexingtonian has tried hard to bring the best yearbook that is possible for their potential. They worked hard to think and create a yearbook that will bring pleasure to all. If the staff has failed to put something in that it should, they apolize. The book was made for the student body of New Lexington High School during the year 1973-74. We hope you enjoy this Lexingtonian. The Staff of 1974. Pictured at RIGHT: Business Manager Kent Thompson.
