There is no one connected with the Lancaster schools who has been so long in continuous service as Miss Davidson and surely no one has given more unsparingly of self to the up-building of our schools as we know them today- ' The fact that she is possessed of a sunshiny disposition and a keen sense of humor has helped her mightily to withstand the wear and tear of long contact with Young America and has enabled her to become the strong force that she is today in the lives of her students. I As one enters her school-room he partakes unconsciously of its at- mosphere. He is not long there until he realizes that at that desk sits one who draws upon rich fountains of knowledge and experience for the truths which she presents, who is sympathetic and companionable enough to get his view point but who never sacrifices her quiet dignity to win his favor and who has the rare gift of being firm without becom- ing tyrannical. Unconsciously he gives her his best, not because she demands it, but because he delights to give it. It is not only among the student-body that Miss Davidson is beloved but those who teach with her give her the same devotion. It has been her lot to welcome into the ranks every teacher who is now associated with her in the High School. All have felt the warmth and sincerity of her greeting. Those of us who began our teaching experience here are drawn to her by peculiar bonds. It is within the power of an experienced teacher to make or mar the career of a beginner. Miss Davidson never hinders but always helps the new-comer. Her frequent words of encouragement, her quiet bits of counsel, and her loyal friendship are priceless treasurers to many of us. Indeed, as teachers and students together, in speaking of Miss Davidson, we can always say as did Halleck in speaking of his friend VERY HIGH SCHOOL should have among its teachers at least Drake: , A None knew thee but to love thee, None named thee but to praise. -Mabel E. Curtiss. MIRAGE 1:75 QE. , .Qing- ih .- Xfilf. ' 5 ' ' '1:: I if ' A .,.ff s : ' Q, , ,A,. ,.:.:., A .. f V,A,, -ixz Z :' ' . .:.,.:...

CLEMENTS, came to us with the beginning of the school year. It rarely happens that any school is fortunate enough to possess a man with so much force of character or one who has accomplished as much in one school year as has this man. He immediately established co-operation and good-fellowship among his teachers which we, as students, soon felt. He always meets us on the level with that kind, friendly smile and passing word, which made our work a little easier for the rest of the day. In spite of the failure of the S150,000 bond issue of the year be- fore, Mr- Clements soon threw his untiring efforts into the task of gain- ing S250,000 to be expended upon the schools during the coming year. This means for our high school an addition larger than the present building, with Domestic Science Department complete: increased Lab- oratory facilitiesg enlargement of all our departments and a fine large library. Whether we went to the football field, the basketball or baseball games. Mr. Clements was always there, helping to bear the standards of both school and team. All branches of Athletics have been started in the grades and friendly contests have been arranged-all of which mean advancement for our H. S. and a unison in all branches of work in our public schools. Not content with this, our Superintendent began to talk, teach and argue Thrift Contests have been planned in which semester themes have been written by practically every member of the H. S. on some phase of this all-important question. Through Mr. Clement's efforts, a sum of S50 has been provided to be given out as prizes, in the form of bank accounts to the students who prove therrselves winners in this contest. Mr. Clement's watch words are: Thrift, Co- operation and Goodfellowshipf' MIRAGE vw V. x.2fs'+:e?3-H:-2f2tQ,:2gn.vf4f: 43 .4 L -24 ' MIRAGE R. D. M- HICKSON began his work as Principal last fall, al- though he has been associated with the school, as a teacher, for five years prior to this. Our students soon felt that a new re- gime had been established and that a decidedly pleasant one. Every boy and girl has received a square deal, whenever they have had any dealings with the office or with Mr. Hickson. A man of few words, his actions have spoken and the results are highly gratifying. Mr. Hickson has an M. A. from Ohio State and is well qualified to hold the position of trust which was conferred upon him last spring. Perhaps the most note-worthy of all his beneficial acts, is the Self- Government which heinaugurated early in his term. We, as students, have come to realize the immense confidence and trust which he has reposed in us and it's always our heartiest co-operation and support which we give our Principal.

We, the Seniors of Class 1917, Lancaster High School, county of Fairfield, and Statf of Ohio, being of sound mind and disposing memory and understanding do make, pub- lish and declare this our last will and test- ament, hereby revoking all former wills and bequests of whatever nature made by us at any time heretofore. Item 1. We bequeath to each member of our loving and idolized faculty a clus- ter of that aromatic shrub-rosemary for rememberance of us. Item 2. We give, devise and bequeath to the Freshmen Class, a. new school build- ing and hope that they will continue thru- out their irksonie days the spirit with which the building was secured, also, all the jour- neys homeward after delinquent grade cards. For information concerning the tricks of this trade, we refer them to Ger- ald Hewetson or John Silbaugh. And we leave to them a copy of D. M. Hicks0n's tried and true rules which follow: 1. When you come to school, come in person and get here on time. You must economize on account of the war, and yel- low paper pads are much more expensive than white ones, even though they are sometimes less desirable. 2. Go to class once in a while, it reliev- es the tedium and helps to escape work and to pass away the time between 8 and 4:03. 3. As soon as you arrive, pick out a girl and then take her to everything. CThey like it?J 4. If you want to say anything dove- like, don't tell her she is pigeon-toed! Finally: Don't stay away from church, even if beds are not furnished. The preach- er expects you! We do advise that these rules be follow- ed, for it is frequently quoted that an ounce of prevention is better than an hour of period eleven. Item 3. To the Sophomores we be- queath the supreme right of class spreads, in whatever manner or under whatever nance they may think best, and we sincere- ly hope that they will receive as much pleasure from their functions as has been received by members of the Senior Class from their frequent parties, hay-rides, sleigh-rides and Hot Dog roasts during the past year. We gladly will to them the best and most comfortable seats at the fre- quent entertainments, provided only that they pay the required admission. With en- viable regret We leave to them the rather unpleasant and suddenly sick feeling which is felt about every six weeks when mother answers the telephone and hears a few re- liable reports about her delinquent son. If you desire further knowledge, see Wright Amerine. We also impart to them a ray of hope that they will enjoy the frequent chapel exercises of next year as much as we have the long tedious ones of this year. Item 4. To the Juniors we give and be- queath the Senior Dignity, which we should have had, but didn't, for Miss Reasoner continually assured us that we acted worse than Freshmen, to them also we leave per- haps the greatest item of our will-our standard! and we direct that it shall be maintained in the same High Degree in which we have placed it, we bequeath to them our student government and hope that they will carry it forward to such a success that the cause of its origin will dis- appear, and we will to them Robert Giesy's book entitled Common Sense Physics , which, although rare, delicate and contain- ed in a few pages, may with care be stret- ched over an entire year. Item 5. To Mr. Thomas we bequeath a simplified, modernized, standardized, un- debatable German Grammar. Item 6. To Donald Hunter, Claude Jewell, and Pats Pairan, we will the arts and devises for framing white slip ex- cuses, now held by Harry McClanahan, Ralph Brenner and Walter Noles. These have reduced the practice to such a condi- tion that it is easier to skip than to go tr MIRAGE 27 school. Item 7. Because of the inability to find a sufficiently talented vocalist, we were un- able to bequeath to any one the place of Guy Jackson, soloist and entertainer of the Boys' Glee Club. The Senior Class als leaves a great gap in the choral clubs, which time alone can fill, and as for our singing in Chapel, Well! any kind of a noise is pleasing to hear sometimes. Item 8. To the school we leave such personages as Forest Brandt, Bess Baker, Vorys McLaughlin, Wright Amerine, Will Kiefaber, Judson Morris and John Sil- baugh, who started out the year with us, but, because of a love for the school, the teachers, for vice versa?J other classes of individuals, have postponed their depart- ure just a little longer. Item 9. To those who have gone back to the farm we bequeath the hope that they will carry throughout life their abil- ity to forsee coming disasters and thus es- cape such things as examinations, rhetori- cals and note books. Item 10. And, separately, we make the following individual bequests: To a local optician, we leave a Maxwell, which We trust will be guarded safely, to Mr. Flood we bequeath a supply of chewing wax, garden implements and a limited amount of bluff and hot air, to Mr. Sutton, the lady admirer, we will the surplus athletic funds and a dictionary of varied slang phrasesg to the teachers who will have to endure Vorys McLaughlin in the vears to come. we bequeath the right to use, as projectiles, all movable property, such as vases, erasers and books. fWill the President of the Junior Class please come forward- Pres. Carl Nourse appears. Also Gerald Hewetson with an unplaned ladder and Russell Lloyd with a finished one decorated in green and white.J This first ladder, still in the rough, is the one with which we started off our high school course. The second, which was sim- ilar to the first, but which has been worn smooth by four years of laborsome climb- ing is the ladder by which the Senior Class has risen to their fame. We bequeath to the Junior Class this ladder, decorated with our colors, green and white, in order that they may attain a degree approaching our present sublimity. We give, devise and bequeath equally all the rest and residue of our personal property, whatsoever and Wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality soever that is not hereinbefore given and disposed of. Cafter paying our debts and Commence- ment expensesl, to Miss Drinkle and Mr. McCandlish, when they shall have reached the age of 21. And we do constitute and appoint Miss Curtiss, Miss Larimer and Mr. Hickson, of our said faculty, as the executors of this, our last will and testament. In Testimony Whereof we, the said Sen- ior Class, have to this our last will and test- ament, set our hand and seal, this the thirt-- ieth day of April, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen. fSignedJ, CLASS OF 1917. Lancaster High School. -By George H. Rutherford. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Senior Class as and for their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who have hereunto subscribed our nam- es at their request as witnesses thereto, in the presence of the said Senior Class and of each other. Russell Lloyd. Mildred Baker Mary Hood. Gerald Hewetson. 28 MIRAGE CLASS HISTORY fLouise Wilsonb. The raindrops, falling from Heaven and alighting upon the river, instantly become a part of it. Scores of these tiny drops form a ripple, which little by little becomes stronger until, at last, there is a mighty wave. Some of the water is taken up into the air again, some drops become separated from their wave and join others, while all along its path the wave is joined by small drops of water on their way to the sea. Such has been the history of the Class of 1917, one of the largest, and not the least illustrious classes which ever entered Lan- caster High School. Four years ago, ninety-six rain drops coming from various tributaries of the river of Education, entered the main stream and formed the ripple of 1917. This ripple be- came stronger and stronger until there was a mighty wave, from which some of the drops departed to join the wave of the Work-a day World, while two floated away upon the wave of Matrimony. Our Freshman activities were neither numerous nor varied, consisting of a single class meeting called for the purpose of ap- pointing a committee to arrange a stunt for the Senior Carnival. This meeting was characterized by the usual pandemonium of Freshman gatherings, and by Mr. Cur- rier's heroic attempts to bring order out of chaos. He must have succeeded to some de- gree at least, for the committee was actual- ly appointed, and the stunt, The Seven Wonders of the World , as finally pulled off, reflected credit to the committee and made the Sophs. Juniors and Seniors sit up and take notice that what they may have considered a bunch of innocents would soon prove to be a force with which to be reckoned in L. H. S. The usual tragedies came at the close of the Freshman year when a number of our drops assumed the past tense and were dropped, so many in fact that the roll call at the beginning of our Sophomore year was responded to by only seventy. Since this was a scriptural number, however, we still had a feeling that we were the chosen ones and proceeded to fortify ourselves against future losses by making friends with Caesar and his associates of the Soph- omore year. Unfortunately, too many joined the Cav- alry branch of Caesar's army and when forced to dismount for tests, exams, and finals, found that their long unused pedals would not support them, although Miss Curtiss almost equalled the marvelous feats of Bonesetter Reese in her valiant ef- forts to save them. It was during this year that the class proved its title to a place in the Hall of Fame of L. I-I. S. by producing a master- piece in art under the title of The Human Organ , as its stunt for the Junior Hal- lowe'en Fair. It is beyond the scope of the historian to attempt a detailed or technical description of this instrument and it is per- haps sufficient to say that it was fearfully and wonderfully made, skillfully manipu- lated by Emmett Speriky, having numerous internal workings. The raindrops, during the latter part of this year, visited Buckeye Lake. It was supposed to be a picnic of Sophomore rain- drops only, but there were others there as the cohorts of Jupiter Pluvius held a con- vention at the Lake the same day and got rather mixed with our crowd. Our ardor was somewhat dampened but neither rain mud nor automobiles ditched, could separ- ate us from the good time we set out to have. The record of this year could not be com- plete without mention at least of the de- lightful journeys o'er time and o'er space we took in Ancient History under the hap- py guidance of Miss Davidson, for who has ever known her but to love her? But hark! the thunders crash, the billows roll, the waves dash high-nay, nay, noth- ing but the Soph Finals, but to some of our sprightly drops they meant finis. They might just as well have splashed over the MIRAGE 29 edge of the universe so far as we were concerned. Ah, Well! Perhaps We may meet them again on life's broad ocean, or in some cool- ing spring or purling rivulet-who knows- For there's a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we may. Rivers will always have one shingly shore to play on where they can be shal- low and careless and happy and free, says Carlyle. The Hshingly shore of High School life is the Junior year. Having weathered the storms of tests, exams and finals for two strenuous years they emerge quietly, con- fidently, joyously into the smooth current of Junior days. Then, if ever, come per- fect days for what is so rare as the days of a junior. Memories crowd thick and fast upon the historian of these days for there was something doing every day. We must pause to note the departure of Mr. Brashares to become Superintendent of Hocking County Schools, and to record the elevation of Mr. Thomas to the posi- tion of Prncipal of L. H. S. Both were men of high ideals and our lives will be enrich- ed by their influence. We had never been fully organized as a class, but this was one of the first acts of the Junior year. On September 22, 1915, we elected the following officers: President, Russell Lloyd, Vice-President, Mary Hood, Secretary, Mildred Baker, Treasurer, Francis Pannabecker, Sergeant at Arms, John Silbaugh, Mirage Represen- tative, Eloise Tidd. Class colors chosen were green and white, class flower, red rose bud, motto, Desire to do well. This year we had charge of an auction sale at the Senior Carnival. Owing to the arts and wiles of John Silbaugh who acted as auctioneer this proved to be the best money maker of the evening. According to custom, we banqueted the football team and this was voted one of the most enjoyable social events of the year. Our class play Rooms for Rent was well patronized and was accorded by those in attendance one of the best plays ever staged at L. H. S- The Junior-Senior banquet marked the high tide of the year for the Juniors and was even quite favorably commented up- on by the Seniors. The class picnic was held under more favorable conditions than the year before and consisted of less experience and more enjoyment. And again the waters are troubled, the rain drops agitated. Some, indeed a ma- jority I may say, bubbled brightly through by the honorary route, while a few, alas, were all het up by Junior exams and finals, a Very few to the point of ebulli- tion and elimination. A sad farewell, We could have better spared a better man . The closing scene-the Senior year- that seemed not long ago so far removed is here, alas, too soon, for scarce have we settled to the serious toil for which we came hither than we are told to pack our books and say farewell-a long farewell. But ere we go we crave a parting word. This year has been little different, we venture, than the corresponding year of all previous classes of L. H. S. We have had the usual Senior studies and activities, in which, while we may not have excelled all previous performers, we have put forth earnest, honest effort. We have not been disinclined to heed the direction and advice of those who have been selected to rule ov- er us, and to each and every teacher who has borne with our faults and commended our efforts and our virtues, we bid an af- fectionate farewell. We bespeak their kind indulgence of the erring Juniors, Sophs and Freshies until, in the fullness of time and by the acquisition of sufficient knowledge and discretion, each class in turn shall occupy our present happy em- inence and shall pass on to join the great ocean of human endeavor and achieve- ment upon whose shores we have now ar- rived. The waters are agitated by the most aw- ful storm that has ever swept the earth and the stoutest hearts may well tremble. Who knows but that the Class of 1917 is come to the kingdom for such a time as this? 30 MIRAGE CLASS PROPI-IECY Scene:-Madame Levinski's Spiritual Parlor. Time :-May 1917. Madame Levinski gazing fixedly into a medium:- Ah, the future is so unusually clear this evening that I feel confident that the desti- ny and future fortune of class of '17 will be revealed. Yes, the globe, is becoming clear and I am able to distinguish more and more the signs. First is being revealed the fu- ture of the one who guided us safely thru the sea of school tribulations but almost became stranded himself, our President Russell Lloyd. He shall continue to be a leader and will be recognized as such by the National Government. Before twenty years have passed he will have assumed his duties as Ambassador to China and hav- ing become very much infatuated with a Chinese heiress he will fall the victim of Cupid's arrow and marry her for her Or- iental beauty and sense, fcentsj- Professor Brasseur, who is to be the dis- tinguished director of a remarkable Two- Piece Orchestra will entertain the Presi- dents and greatest citizens of both conti- nents. The personnell of the orchestra will be made up of prominent musicians, Noel Horn and Robert Sharp. But he will attribute his greatest success to the Warb- lings of his concert soloist, Viola Thrush. The artistic mind of Harold Mayer will result in his opening an American Dress- making Establishment in Paris, with Eva Kneller and Edythe Cave as private secre- taries. Austin Gibbony, Ralph Beck and Albert Brehnstuhl will become joint owners of a large aeroplane factory in Buenos Ayres, which will average fifteen hundred mach- ines in daily output since the aeroplane will become the chief means of travel for flighty people. That to love is to sacrifice will be the motto of Forest Rose Brandt for she must wait patiently through ten long years until Tub Silbaugh graduates and finds it op- portune to marry. Professor Dilger and his wife Relva will probably find life most exciting in Rock- bridge where Dig will accept the posi- tion of Professor of Chemistry and Physics in Rockbridge High School, and spend his leisure hours in coaching the Varsity team. 4 But now the globe is cloudy. We must wait until it becomes clear. Ah! now I have the meaning of the indistinctness, for it bodes evil. Alas! Ruth Derbyshire and Dorothy Rarick have a sad future! They will be unfortunately disappointed in their love affairs and spend most of their life in a convent. Dorothy will find that this is the only sure cure for giggles Agnes Bookwalter, Grace Friesner, Ruth Meeker and Jeanette Spears are forming a private Corporation, and after buying a large farm in Alaska, will take up agricul- tural pursuits and perfect a variety of skinless onions. George Rutherford will graduate from Harvard and spend the remaining years of his life in Rome making historical research to ascertain whether Virgil was the true author of the Aenead. But there is one member of the class des- tined to become the most popular 20th cen- tury novelist, Lawrence Raymond Derry. Derry's greatest sensation will be a book of two thousand pages and two hundred and fifty beautiful illustrations entitled The Girls I Left Behind Me in The West. Fate will indeed smile upon Dotty Noles and give him boundless wealth be- cause of the inventive trend of his brain. His discovery of a Patent Hair Restorer based on his own experience will go far be- yond any similar attempts made in previous history. Ralph Eiman and Roy Sheets will find especial solace in Dotty's Patent and therefore travel extensively as agents fx' Nole's Hair Restorer- Hal Phillips evidently decided upon his future career because of his decided success in editing the school paper for he will become editor of the National Wo- man's Suffrage Journal which has its head- MIRAGE 3l quarters in New York City. Eloise Tidd will ably assist Harold as Society Editor. And again the haze of indistinctness ap- pears. The future is so clouded that I fear the globe is being taxed to its utmost capac- ity. In the year 1936-Now I have it, in the year 1936 Mildred Hamilton and Rob- ert M. Giesy will enter the race for Gover- nor of Ohio. Dick will win out and af- ter his defeat Robert will accept the Presi- dency of a large Women's College in the East. Leland McCleery and his Wife Ethel Tracy McCleery will certainly lead a ro- mantic life as farmers. Lee will accept Herr Thomas' advice and choose this pur- suit because it requires more grey matter than any other occupation. Because of the demand and need for nurses and in response to the plea sent out by the American Red Cross Society, Elsie Tucker, Floy Sexauer, Shearl Miller, Abby Houser and Bernice Walter will enter the service and become very prominent pro- fessional nurses. St. Clair Burden assisted by Nellie Shan- er Burden will hold a lucrative position at Superintendent of a Deaf and Dumb Asy- lum in the Sandwich Islands. Previous to this time, Saint will have made repeated at- tempts, all in vain, to compound a gas which inhaled into the cranium would keep the tongue in perpetual motion. Mignon Hummell will go to Washington as Senator from Ohio and the reduction of the present high cost of living will be due to the efforts of Senator Hummel. Mariam Grove will graduate from the Medical College at Ohio State and become a noted brain specialist. Elizabeth Schleich- er will succeed Miss Mowery as Instructor of Music in the Public Schools of Lancaster. It is utterly impossible to make out the next. All that is distinguishable is that it concerns Pearl Spears, Bess Baker, and Fannie Lake. Evidently the fate of Fan- nie and Bess has already been sealed as we know Pearl's to be, and may they have all happiness in the field of Matrimony. The Salvation Army will need very ef- ficient workers in the future and under the leadership of Ralph Brenner and Harry McClanahan it will occupy a higher place in the social development of America- Several of the class will embark upon the Sea of Matrimony shortly after grad- uation. Among them will be Nellie Beh- rens and Frances Chapman. The former will marry a scientific farmer, and the lat- ter a lawyer of Cincinnati. About the same time the marriage of Mary E. Hood to a graduate of the class of 1914 will be solemnized. Isabelle Work will also test the value c matrimonial life and after making three different trials finally give up in despair and in partnership with Marie Deffen- baugh supervise a Bachelor Girl's Board- ing House on Fountain Square. Teddy Roosevelt's Volunteer Army shall be greatly strengthened by the addition of several stalwart High School braves, Har- old Rohrbaugh, Harold Hughes, Ross George, Leo Hartman, George Burnstein, Frank Graf and Douglas Grimm. Elizabeth Kent and Pud McCleery, af- ter taking the required training will join the U. S. Aviation Corps and make some re- markable flights across Buckeye Lake. Paul Spears will investigate many trade: and finally open a Beauty Parlor on Fift? Ave., New York, making a specialty of Wigs and Switches of every hue imagin- able. Among his lady assistants will be Margaret Shonting and Myrtle Jane Horse- man. Mrs. Grace McMorris Shott will establish a great reputation and win a fortune for herself as cartoonist for the Chicago Tri bune. Gerald Hewetson will live for the solo purpose of bettering the moral conditions of humanity and is now spending his leisure hours in preparing the lectures which will make him a famous reformer. His mos soul inspiring subjects will be Why Don't Smoke Cigarettes and The Frater- nity as a Public Menace. The Self-Serving Grocery Store carrying everything from a toothpick to a fried chicken will be introduced to Lancaster cit- izens by Miss Brunella Dilger. MIRAGE Robert Louis Stevenson, having received the appointment as Captain-in-Chief of the First Submarine Passenger Line running from New York to Liverpool will in his first trip have as passengers, Rev. Hugh Silbaugh, D. D-, A. X. Z., Hon. Charles Rose, William Jennings Bryan and Henry Ford, who will attend the National Peace Conference to be held at Geneva, Switzer- land. After Hugh returns he will resume his duties as Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Sugar Grove. Marcella McClenaghan will teach sch' several years and then marry an Italian Prince. How romantic! Herr Thomas, having retired from the teaching profession quite early in life, will give his undivided attention to farming and will be succeded by Herr Halderman as Instructor of Deutsch. But Harold will find life so monotonous that he will seek fame by writing a number of German- English songs such as My Nose, She be Big Like a House, etc. etc. Ruth Pierce wil suffer the singular fate of falling off the Y Bridge at Zanesville and of being heroically rescued by a prom- inent widower of that city, who will later marry her. Edwin Ruff will return to England as the distinguished valet of Lord Balfour and will be accompanied as far as London by Vereria Lois White, who will spend several years abroad trying to reform the English School System. George Young will accept the Presi- dency of the Retired Farmers' and Bach- elors' Association of Fairfield County , while Ralph Strigle having surpassed all ex- pectations, will become an authority on Perfect Complexions and Youthfulness. Louise Wilson and Florence Stephens will carry on the work of the Humane So- ciety in Carroll and found a Home for Homeless rats and mice. But now the future is growing dark and I can scarcely read the fortune of the mighty Senior Guy Jackson. He will be a perfected example of a-a grace-now it is clearer. He will be a perfected example of a graceful dancer and his income as a Dancing Master will be so much that he will adopt Seven Homeless Waifs and thus po form his fatherly and brotherly duty by raising Seven Little Guys to cherish his name forever. But alas! the medium has been taxed too strenuously and the globe has broken. Let each member perform his respective task so completely that his Alma Mater will be renowned throughout the world and the Class of 1917 will be an exceedingly bril- liant stone in the Alumni necklace of L.

Alone on the wild, wide, sea, With nobody here but me Save my little dog Jack And a keg of hard tack Alone on the wild, wide sea. 2. Alone on the wild, wide sea, Just nobody but us three For three weeks and a day We've been drifting this way Alone on the wild, wide, sea. 2. Alone on the wild, wide sea, Is a very poor place to be With the sharks all around And no land to be found Alone on the wild, wide, sea. 4. Alone on the wild, wide, sea It certainly is lonesome, gee! There's water, water, everywhere But not a drop of Bevo there Alone on the wild, wide, sea. 5. Alone on the wild, wide, sea With nobody here but me Save a keg of hard tack And my little dog Jack Alone on the wild, wide, sea. 1 MY DREAM. Alas, I had a funny dream, Perhaps, it will interest you, As it concerns you each and all, Supt. and Miss Reasoner, too. I thought that I was old and stiff My hair was very gray, I was living in a foreign land 'Twas the twentieth century. My mind went back to childhood days, In memories bright and gay, Of school days spent at L. H. S. In the land so far away. A feeling sad crept o'er me ' As I thought that I must die, Without a sight of dear old home And my friends of Lancaster Highi And as I sadly pondered In my childhood days of yore, A great tall man with shaggy beard Knocked softly on my door. The poor man had but one eye, He was very tall and thing He asked for a drink of water And, I kindly asked him in. He began to tell me the history Of what happened to his eye, He had it knocked out with a snowball When a student in Lancaster High. At once I was deeply interested, In what concerned his lifeg He was an inventor of air-ships And was now making tours with his wife. Suddenly his voice grew familiar I trembled and thot I would fall, For I recognized the stranger, He was Tub Silbaugh. He wasvheaded straight for America In an air-ship made by his hands, And asked me to go with him and his wife Back to our native land. His Wife was a very nice lady Her eyes were blue as the sky She was formerly Forrest Brandt A class mate at Lancaster High. No sooner than said, we started And floated three nights and days Going on west to our home land Many long miles away. We talked upon may subjects As we flew through the air like a bird Of our former teachers and schoolmates And these are the stories I heard. Lancaster High School no longer existed. Indeed it was sad to say, But it was swallowed up by an earth- quake One Stormy and Windy day. Doc Nourse had earned his early bread By running a peanut and chewing gum shop, MIRAGE He would have been a rich man 'tis said, But he treated all the girls who would stop. But alas, for poor Frances I guess she waited too long, For at fifty she married Danby And they could not get along. Harold Mayer was a very great preacher He answered our Master's call, And was now saving souls by the thou- sand And receiving no money at all. Harold, Dotty and Ralph went to Africa. 'Tis said to hunt for wild bear But nothing was ever heard of them I guess they perished while there. One cold November evening, Day was approaching night, The wind raged fierce and the thunder pealed So we .thought we had better alight. We lit near the palace of the King of Spain 'Twas in the dead of night, Its walls were beset with sparkling genws Which changed the darkness to light. We were ushered into the dining room Where we ate from golden plates, And we recognized before us Two of our old school mates. One was our old friend Kathleen Who was a dear friend to me, She was the Queen of Spain And such was she fitted to be. King Harry was seated beside her In splendor and renown, In his hand was the dazzling scepter On her head was the glittering crown. Donald Hunter had eloped with fair Edith, The maid with the beautiful eyes, They journeyed to the palace of the King of Spain Where she was to bake the pies. Alcide's health was rapidly failing He was not allowed to walk much at all, So he was given the very light job Of sweeping cob-webs from the Wall. Another week We've been sailing, We certainly can rejoice For we are in our native land And I hear my mother's voice. She is calling, gently calling me But listen! What does she say? Breakfast is ready and the sun is up Are you going to sleep all day? -Florence Stephens, '17. JUNIOR JESTS The class of '18 in bright array Comes out with unfurled banners gay Now let us at their features peep, Before they shut them up to keep- And first of all is Mr. Carl Nourse Who's swelled clear up like a million- aire's purse. Tho beauty is said to be only skin deep We hope that Pats may hers always keep Dick Mattox is a real jolly good fellow As thru the Gym his meek voice does bellow Rosa Beuter is both modest and shy, Tho she knows a string of German sky- high. And there's Mr. Sexauer quite the pret- tiest of all here, Who gives no girl a chance to call him my dear. Tho Paul Regan's rather tall and rough, For the Football team he's just the stuff. Babe Cullumber too, is sorta tall, And in Sex's opinion tops 'em all. The Priscilla of old has her rival of today For Mary E. Thomas is both sad and gay. Betty Click is both wayward and win- ning. Her big dimples have set many hearts spinning. Altho Irvin Dungan's just a mere boy, He's given Mary Margaret much rapture and joy. With mischief in her eyes and You're ruined on her tongue Ede Courtright seldom if ever gets stung.

With her hair skinned back and a face full of charm, Ruth Thomas is the girl from Sunny Brook Farm. George Keller will ne'er make a states- man I fear, As he holds his opinions at least a whole year. Oramay Ballinger is jaunty and chic, Society ways she has learned very quick. And there's Irma Derbyshire, the girl of the hour, Who has always been a Basket Ball Star. And where's Neil Thompson of the great band? Reviewing his German in the judge's stand. Do you think that Porker Amerine will ever reach his goal? With the piercing and constant gaze of his teacher Miss Soule? And now Hilda Williams arises to make a spiel Only to show to the class her intellectual zeal- Bull toads, Hop frogs and all kinds of crickets, Are mixed in the Lab. by Professor Blanche Ricketts.

Q Staff Stenographer. There has been found in the class of '17 one to whom much credit is due for her faithful services at the typewriter in help- ing to make the Mirage a success during the entire 3 issues. We refer to Fannie Lake who will grad- uate with the outgoing class. You may be assured that at any time any of the pupils wanted any typewritten work done that it was to Fannie that they took the task. Miss Lake was the best typist in the School and intends to take a test which will enable her to win a gold medal. Much thanks is due to her for the way in which she handled the stenography of the Staff work and we most heartily wish her the greatest success in the work which she intends to take up after she leaves our school. Calendar Reporter Owing to unforseen circumstances, Mar- garet Shonting's picture was omitted from that of the Staff. We desire in this way to call particular attention to her work in Cal- endar and to thank her for her efforts in behalf of the Annual. School Bond Issue. At election last year the Board of Ed- ucation asked the citizens of Lancaster for S100,000 but they did not see fit to put it to a test then. This year, however, everything was changed. When our educational fathers asked for S250,000 our citizens came for- ward with the right spirit in grand style and the school bond issue carried by an ov- erwhelming majority. But this was not accomplished by sitting down and folding our hands but by the cheerful and untiring work of Supt. J. R. Clements, and his corp of willing teachers who did all in their power to make the parades, demonstrating the congested con- ditions of our schools, a success. It was a success and we are having evi- dences of the fact now on every hand. But especially do we of the High School know whereof we speak. We need only to look out of the east door or windows and watch the men with their big strong teams of hor- ses preparing the foundations of our new school building. Self Starter. We hear and read a great deal just now about self-starters for automobiles. We hear people tell about every new one that is on the market. But every one does not have a starter for himself. People are slow about getting started and sometimes have to be forced to pick up their books to study or to come to the table when called. As to things in which they are interested, they seem to have no difficulty. In the school room we often see pupils sitting idle as if being waited on by a servant, but upon be- ing quizzed, they answer that they are waiting for an inspiration. This word has caused many persons to fail who might have become heroes. Lacking what one would term an inspiration, many a person who might have instructed others has kept silent. 38 MIRAGE The office girl goes to her work and sits down at her typewriter to write some busi- ness letters. She can hardly say that she feels like thumping the letter keys. But by some unknown will power she writes a few words. This is a start. Her work then goes on smoothly and before she realizes it she has finished her letter and is half sorry that her work is complete. If every one would push himself to the task this world would be greatly improved. Inspiration is really a result, not a cause. The members of the Mirage Staff wish to thank the entire student body and the public at large for the splendid manner in which they have supported the school magazine this year. We have tried, to the best of our ability, to please and hope that we have in some measure suc- ceeded- We have the Literary Society, Athletic Association, Chorus, Boys and Girls' Glee Clubs, Hikers, Chapels, Senior, Junior and Sophmore Meetings, Base Ball, Basket Ball and Foot Ball games-if there is anything else you want, Dean will get it for you. .l..li.l-1 Co-operation is the biggest factor in the management of anything. The school is the place for us to make acquaintances and get some of the joy of the World. Nothing is harder to change than an old custom. Examinations are a thing of the past, and like the stage coach, must go. wi:-:W 19 f N im ,illlililllfrgi p my A se, Q , SE si1..iiallQ:sllli'l C . 1 fs. MIRAGE In Memoriam. JOHN YOUNG Class of 1919.

Maroon and Gray Since its Freshmen year this class has been represented in all High School affairs. It has made a good showing in the Hal- lowe'en Fairs of '14, '15, and '16. Many of its members took part in the Shakes- peare Tercentenary last year, Its crown- ing success was its play presented March the ninth to a crowded auditorium. Two Juniors are holding prominent offices in the Literary society. Helene Applegate as critic and Donald Hunter as Secretary. In January the Junior Class gave the annual Football Banquet in honor of the foot ball boys. It has entertained with many hikes and spreads- At the last meeting of the Juniors, they decided to do away with the old custom of giving an elaborate Junior-Senior Banquet. This class realizes the critical condition in which the food supplies of America are now placed and to entertain extravagantly at such a time is wanton waste. i' ' ' .lun- ior boys have left school to aid the farmers in increasing America's food Supplies and the Junior Class does not consider it an ap- propriate time to spend money. They are to be commended on their stand in this sit- uation for braving the opinion of ALL of the students. The class is looking forward to a success- ful Senior year and hoping that they may be among the best classes of old L. H. S. n P II' i -fig-awfis Flu! 'kr . - J' 5'- E? -. -W N N ,N N .e .

Why, they have been hav- ing a wondrously fine time enjoying them- selves. And, pray tell, what have they been doing? To begin with, we have had about twelve rousing good meetings at which everyone showed lots of pep . These meetings are always interesting and there is nearly al- ways a large number in attendance. One night about the last of November sixty or more Sophs gathered in the Lab for a good old taffy pull and it certainly proved to be a sticky time. But what care we for we had a good time, you see! Best of all our functions, however, was the wonderful Sophomore spread! We thwarted the time honored custom of wait- ing until our Junior year to have a ban- quet. The great affair was held on the 3 evening of February 14th at the home of Mary Dickson on North Columbus St. The class colors Cpurple and whitej decorated the home throughout and each Sophomore was decked with a small bow of the same colors. We enjoyed music and games thru- out the evening until something more im- portant appeared in the form of eats and I am sure everyone did justice to the two course banquet. After the spread came the fortune teller who added much amusement to the evening and at a seasonable f?J hour the fifty-five guests and their chap- eron, Miss Drinkle, departed claiming it the best affair of the season. On November 25, 1916 we lost a faith- ful and honored member of our class, John Young. The Sophomores attended the fun- eral in a body, but it is only as we come to the class room from day to day, that our real loss is fully brought home to us. Elizabeth Miller, Sophomore Representative, March 11, 1917. 3 - -ff 5:-E' 32 D 1 Q MIRAGE ii fi LW i fauna kia MIRAGE THE ONLY F RESHMAN The Freshman Class has not been making much history. It has been behaving itself. It has not been in High School long enough to get over the idea that school means studying, instead of making ourselves fam- ous. The first morning at Hi school we were saved from an unnecessary detail that usually makes its way into the history of other classes in the form of initiation. It was prevented by a guardian angel who came in the form of Mr. Hickson. 'Y We are willing to give our new teachers 99 plus for their conduct in managing us. We are also very willing to give ourselves that grade because we are well satisfied with ourselves. The work those new studies take reminds us of the little fellow who read in a news- paper about the school board fixing the salaries of the teachers, and he said, Pop why does the teacher get the pay when us Kids does all the work? , Q S9 4 if X JH, il E ' -- li ?

The banquet room was appropriately decorated in the colors of the classes, emerald and gold, the Senior colors, and green and white, those of the Juniors. Clusters of laurel blossoms were used in decorating the parlors, while in the banquet hall, pink and red roses, the class flowers, were prettily arranged. A large Junior Class Banner adorned the west wall of the banquet hall, while a 1916 em- blem was suspended from the ceiling at the opposite side of the hall. The guests were welcomed by a reception committee com- posed of Misses Mary Hood, Ruth Pierce, Mildred Hamilton and Messrs. John Sil- baugh, Russell Lloyd and Francis Panna- becker. During the evening a program of delightful music was furnished by the Whitacre Orchestra. Twelve girls from the Freshman and Sophomore classes served the banquet to the one-hundred and thirty-five present. Preceding the serving Miss Mary Hood sweetly sang A Rose in Heavenv, with piano accompaniment by Miss Florence Stephens. Misses Elizabeth Schleicher and Florence Stephens also contributed a pret- ty vocal duet, Schubert's Serenade , the accompaniment being played by Miss Win- nifred Oberdorfer. Mr. Russell Lloyd, the Junior Class president, ably dispensed the duties of toastmaster, and each of the fol- lowing responded with witty and appro- priate remarks: Walter Pfeiffer, president of the Senior Class, Prof. Thomas, Miss VVinnifred Oberdorfer, Prof. Drinkle, Prof- McCandlish, Clifford Tibbs, Prof. Flood, Prof. Hickson, John Silbaugh, Miss Eloise Tidd and Miss Mariam Groves, who gave a Good-Night toast. Bacon Fry and Peanut Roast. Miss Frances Chapman entertained a number of her L. H. S. friends at her beau- tiful suburban home, north of the city, Fri- day evening, October 6. 1916. About 8 o'clock the happy crowd went from her home up to the Waterworks hill, where a large fire had been built for the occasion. While they sat around the fire many inter- esting stories and jokes were told by the members of the crowd, while those of Dr. Chapman were especially appreciated. Af- ter the story telling every one grabbed for a stick, a slice of bacon and gathered around the fire again. A picnic lunch was enjoyed and later, when the fire had burn- ed down, peanuts were roasted in the ashes, after which the young people went down to the house and danced. Those proclaiming Miss Chapman a very successful entertainer were: Misses Luella Wright, of Columbus, Minnie and Ruth Rit- ter, Louise Wilson, Autherene Click, Mary- belle and Eleanor Thompson, Helen and Ora May Ballinger, Forrest Brandt, Lovetta Wendel, Pauline Huddle, Sarah Wenzell, Ruth Markwood, Edith Courtright, Flor- ence Stephens, Messers Dwight Deffen- baugh and Donald Kyle, of Columbus, Law- rence Derry, John McLaughlin Carl Nourse Malcolm Becker, Neil Amendt, Russell Lloyd, Harry Myers, Russell Stuckey, Jack MIRA GE 57 Ewing, John Silbaugh, Edward Thomas, Dana Chapman, Gardner Hodgson, Donald Hunter and Harold Phillips. Birthday Surprise Party. Honoring the birthday of Miss Constance Hummell, a number of her friends gave her a complete surprise at her home Wednes- day evening, October 18, 1916. The even- ing was spent in games and music after which an elegant supper was served..The guests were Misses Glenna Blazer, Cather- ine Coleman, Mary Shinn, Beryl Jones, Olive Young, Gladys Hoyman, Helen Ritch- ie, Mignon Hummell, Messrs. Charles Mc- Coy, John Young, Roy Shriner, Everett Friesner, Dana Chapman, Fred and John Hummell, Hiker's Club The first and only hike of the season oc- curred on Tuesday evening, Sept. 12, 1916 The Hickers left the High School about 7 o'clock and went south on Pearl Ave., led by their captain, Lawrence Derry and chap- eroned by Mr. Sutton. At Walnut St. they turned east and went to the foot of the hill, where they obeyed the command to right face. They turned south on the Sugar Grove road until they reached the Old Mud House. One of the fellows claimed to have knowledge of that part of the country, so after following him for quite a while they arrived at a very picturesque spot, where a large fire was built. They sat around the fire about an hour toasting marshmallows and then started homeward. After passing through a dense forest they reached Ewing street. Then they went in Main street, and at High street the party scattered and each one went home well satisfied with the ev- ening. L. H. S. Visitors. VVe have had a great many visitors this year from other cities and schools and are quite glad they have taken interest in our school. Some of these are Miss Thelma Montague, of Charleston, W. Va., guest of Edna Bone, Miss Luella Wright, of Colum- bus, guest of Florence Stephens, Miss Cor- nelia Creed of Millersport, guest of Ruth Pierce, Miss Alice Pearce of Zanesvilleg Misses Helen Barnes and Jeanettte Chest- er and Mr. Ross Mossgrove of Columbus, guests of Autherene Clickg and Misses Mar- garet McNaughten and Mary Turner of Pleasantville, Ohio.

Mr- William Schumaker delightfully en- tertained a number of his friends with a six o'clock dinner, Sunday, Dec. 27, at his home on East Sixth Avenue.

Walter Noles, James Sears, Clarence Keller, Frank Graf. Harold Phillips, Herbert Kneller, Ralph Sexauer, Ralph Brenner, Don Wendel. Francis Reid, Albert Bletzacker, and Wil- liam Schumaker.

On Friday evening, Nov. 24th, the Jun- ior Class was entertained with a taffy- pull at the home of Mildred Reef, about two and a half miles north of the city. Meeting at the home of Autherene Click on North Columbus St. they walked out, be- ing chaperoned by Mr. Sutton and Miss Winterhalter. After enjoying music they proceeded to make taffy. Although it might not have passed the most critical judge, it was eaten. Mr. and Mrs. Reef then passed pop-corn and lovely apples, which were heartily en- joyed. At a late hour the merry crowd dis- banded, cordially thanking Mr. and Mrs- Reef and Mildred for their kind hospitality Birthday Party. Honoring the eighteenth birthday of Miss Fannie Lake, a number of her friends gave her a complete surprise at her home 58 MIRAGE Monday evening, April 9, 1917.

On Jan. 4, 1917, the Junior Class enter- tained the Football boys with a sumptuous banquet in the High School Gym. The High School Orchestra furnished delight- ful music throughout the evening to the enjoyment of all. The tables were arranged in the shape of a cross. Pink rose buds, the class flow- er, gracefully adorned the center while four large baskets of fruit, and two foot- balls found appropriate and conspicuous places in the decorations- Seventy-five plates were set for members of the Junior Class and their guests fifteen Football boys and Mr. and Mrs. Flood, Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Candlish, Coach Sutton and Miss Maxwell. The tables were efficiently served by Freshman girls. Class President, Carl Nourse, gave a splendid address of welcome, then intro- duced the members of the team, who in turn responded with short talks. Mr. Sut- ton, Mr. Flood, Mr. McCandlish and Miss Maxwell were called upon and responded with appropriate toasts. At this time the Captain of the team for the ensuing year 1917-1918 was elected. This honor was conferred upon Carl Nourse The whole affair was highly successful and MIRAGE 59 the committee on arrangements deserves credit for the capability. Miss Louise Wilson was the house guest of Miss Ruth Nan, in Columbus, March 30, April 2. While there, she attended the play given by the Senior Class of East High. Senior Spread. On Friday evening, March 30, the Sen- ior Class had a spread at the High school. Forty members of the class were present and each one felt capable of getting away with their share of the spread, which was proven later. Music was the chief enjoy- ment of the evening and at an appropriate hour a delicious two-course spread was served on the platform in the auditorium. The committee, composed of Misses Mar- iam Groves and Forrest Brandt, and Mr. Walter Noles, are surely to be congratulat- ed for arranging such a delightful affair- There was a young man so B-nighted He didn't know when he was slightedg He went to a party, And ate just as hearty As though he'd been really invited. Girl's B. B. Team Kid Party. The members of the Girl's Basket Ball team enjoyed a delightful kid party Mon- day evening, April 16th, at the pretty sub- urban home of Mariam Groves just east of the city. Music and games were the pas- times o fthe evening and a most delightful social time was enjoyed by all. Much mer- riment was also afforded by the unique and attractive kid costumes worn by the guests. At an appropriate hour an elaborate three course spread was served in the din- ing room which was beautifully decorated in purple and gold, the High School colors. A basket ball, over which the same pretty colors were draped centered the festal board, while unique place cards, touched with purple, marked places for Miss Eth- el Reasoner, chaperon, Misses Irma Derby- shire, Elizabeth Kent, Marian McCleery, Constance Hurnmell, Forrest Brandt, Mary Kern, Florence Stephens and Mariam Grov- es. Hike. On Tuesday evening, May 1, a crowd of young people gathered at the home of Ruth and Minnie Ritter, prepared to go for a hike. When the crowd was assembled they started and hiked up on Flat Rocks. About 9:00 o'clock the tired strollers returned to Ritters, and a lunch was served. Those present were Misses Marybell and Eleanor Thompson, Forrest Brandt, Bess Baker, Harriet Pairan, Relva Barr, Auth- erene Click, Florence Stephens, Minnie Rit- ter, Messers. Harry Becker, Jack Ewing, John Silbaugh, Russell Lloyd, Carl Nourse, Dwight Dilger, Malcolm Becker and Clar- ence Bletzacker. They were chaperoned by Miss Ruth Rit- ter and Mr. Arthur Radebaugh.

S- has been seriously handicapped by lack of equip- ment and material with which to work. To him fell the task of building up athletics at L. H. S. When he came here, Mr. Sutton found the school sadly lacking in both equipment and ex- perienced men for the teams. but thanks to his un- tiring efforts we now have both. His work has been mainly in building for the future and he has trained a vast amount of green material this year, which will be the main stay of the athletic teams at L. H. S. next year. Mr. Sutton comes from Marietta College, Where he has a very brilliant record as both a scholar and an athlete. He took part in all lines of athletics and his name is on Marietta's Foot- ball Roll of Honor, one of the highest distinctions accorded there. VVe heartily hope to see him return next year, as then the results of his good work this year will be seen. 62 MIRAGE FOOTBALL SEASON I9I6 Last fall Lancaster High School's foot- ball team played one of the hardest and longest schedules that has been played at L. H. S. in years. Altho the team was not so successful in winning games and running up big scores, there is no reason why the school should not be proud of it. The team was made up of a clean bunch of fellows, who played on the square and always fought their hardest for their school. Two games were of special interest. The game with Zanesville is always one of the biggest of the season and was played at Zanesville. Altho we made more first downs than they did and kept the ball in their territory most of the time, we lost the game on fluke plays and failure to break up their forward passes. Our last home game was played with Newark. This team is a new one on our usual schedule and was the only one to score on South High this season. Their score was made in the first half. Lancaster High gave the best exhibition of football, here out-playing her opponents in all departments of the game. Two teams were out almost every night in the season, and it is certain that next yearis team will not be the green material that it was this year. Players Lee McC!eery, '17 Capt- At the beginning of the season Mac was elected captain, as John Silbaugh, who was captain at the close of the season last year, was not eligible to play. Mac could always be counted upon to gain ground at half. Unfortunately he was injured in the Nel- sonville game and did not get to finish what promised to be a very successful season for him. This is Mac's last year and with his graduation we lose one of the best football men in our history. Russell A. Lloyd, '17 Q. B. Whitey closes his football career in High School this year. He is perfectly at home when playing quarter and the pep which he always shows drives the rest of the team into the fight with renewed vigor. Paul Regan, '18, Right Tackle. All Irishmen are full of fight and Pat is no exception. His 180 pounds are a great strength on the line he breaks through the opposition and stops the plays before they start. John O'Hara, '18, Left End. 'fBuddie played the biggest part of the season on end. It was very seldom that any one got around him for he gets down the line rapidly on punts and tackles them in their tracks. Habitually late to practice but atoning for it by his peerless work in the ganzes he will make a splendid showing next year. Lawrence Derry, '17, Center. Derry played center part of the time. His passes were uniformily good and he play- ed a steady game both on the defensive and offensive lines. Irvine Dungan, '18, Center. Dungan played center part of the time. He was little but mighty, and never failed to show up for practice. He divided honors about even with Derry. He will be a com- er for next year. Carl Nourse, '18, Left Half. Doc is one of our fastest men. It is a pleasure to see him speed around end and then when he gets into a bunch dive for about five yards. He ought to show to a good advantage in his remaining year. Dwight Dilger, '17, Right Half. He was cursed with boils as Job of Bibli- cal History, but this did not prevent Dig from showing that he could play football. Good at picking holes and a good open field runner. His place will be hard to fill next year. Robert Murphy, '19, Fullback Red is the find of the season. This is the first year that he has played football and he should make a splendid player be- fore he graduates. He knows how to run interference and could usually be counted on to buck the required number of yards through the line. MIRAGE V 63 Harold Moody, '20, Left Guard A Freshman who improved with every game that he played. Although not a star, he put up a steady consistent fight. May the next Freshman Class bring another man as good as he. Cecil Robinson, '19, Right End. Another new man who made good Ben- ny is an end, forces all opponents to re gard him as a dangerous man. A sure tack- ler. He will be a great help to next year's team.- Hugh Silbaugh, '17, Right Guard- Hugh is always on his toes fighting at his best. With a little more weight he could hold any opponent. He, too, will graduate this year and the team will lose another good man. Ralph Brenner, '17, Left Tackle. Dear old Gooner '. the largest man on the team, tipping the scales at 188 pounds, is noted for his high temper and his love for women. Gooner nevertheless has hardly missed any practice. He is a bear on the offensive and a mountain on the de- fensive. Never failing to show up to ad- vantage Gooner is a Senior and his ab- sence will surely leave some hole .- Coach Sutton. William Kiefaber, '17, End. Bill played end. He is very fast and was always in place to catch his passes and it was very seldom that he missed any. Vorys McLaughlin, '18, Guard. Johnies weight could be used almost any place on the team. He played many dif- ferent places during the year and was the equal of any man whom he played against He will be a great help to the team next year. Football Season 1 91 6 Frank R.

This year the team did not make as good a showing as was anticipated, because it was composed almost entirely of new men. However, towards the last of the season, the team took a turn for the better. In the second game With Nelsonville, the team showed an entirely different variety of bas- ketball, from that of any preceding game. The usual line-up was changed, Capt. Dil- ger playing forward and Bollenbaugh jum- ping center. This combination seemed to work wonders in the team, all departments showing marked improvement. As a result Nelsonville was forced to go over-time, winning out by a margin of one field bas- ket. Captain Dilger, is the only man to be lost through graduation this year and with the old men back next year the outlook for a successful team is good. Some class games were played this year, but the series was not finished. The re- sults of those games played were: Juniors, 193 Seniors, 11. Sophomores, 253 Freshmen, 15- Seniors, 26, Sophomores, 13.

Foul goals: Dungan, 25 Kiefaber, 1g Wolfe, 13 Wilkin- son, 2. The L. H. S- basketball team wound up its season with the Alumni game. This is always the biggest game of the season, when the has beens return, determined to take the scalps of the kids. This time they were successful, Abbott and Wolfe proving a little too much for the youngs- ters. The game was a tough scrap from begin- ning to end. The veterans nosed out Coach Sutton's boys, by a margin of one field goal. At the half way mark the score stood 14 to 8, in favor of the alumni. The High School came back strong in the last half and threatened to overtake the vets but the allotted period was hardly long enough to turn the scales from defeat to victory. Bollenbaugh and Wolfe lead their re- spective teams in scoring, the former mak- ing four and the latter three field goals. , .sir i AEA' 'L MIRAGE 68 MIRAGE At the beginning of the basket ball sea- son George Rutherford was made manager of this division of Athletics. George belongs to that class of students whom you only have to tell once to do a thing. You can then rest perfectly secure, for you know that when the time comes for the completion of the assigned duty, it will be finished and finished properly. In my opinion George's share in Athlet- ics can not be over estimated.-D. M. Hick- son, Principal. 1. Dwight Dilger, Captain. Dig - Forward-1917 Dig'f was chosen captain at the end of the season last year. He is an all around basket ball player. At guard, he was able to hold the fastest of forwards. The latter part of the season, at forward, he made a large part of our points and played the game for all he was worth. Al- though Dig is the only man to leave us this year, his place will be the most diffi- cult to fill. 2. Edward Bolenbaugh. Ed -Center -1918. At center, Ed ' was a dangerous man. He made hard work for all those who opposed him. He could out-jump and out- play any center, who was unlucky enough to be matched against him. We are glad he will be back next year. 3. Carl Nourse. Doc -Guard-1918 Doc ' was the equal to any player, whom he met throughout the season. The person who got away from him was surely a won- der. He was a star at shooting fouls, mak- BASE But one game of baseball has been play- ed as we go to press, that was with Canal Winchester. It resulted in a defeat for L. H. S. Lancaster lead up until the sixth in- ning 1 to 0, but in this inning with two out the team went to pieces and allowed Win- chester to score 7 runs. Lancaster scored 5 runs in the 6th inning, but Winchester was too far in advance. The final count stood 15 to 8 in their favor. Enough men for two teams have been out every night this season, and there is some very good material among them. Witl ing a large majority of his trials. He will be a great help to the team next year. 4. Richard Wilson. Red -Guard- 1919. Red was the surprise of the sea- son, for he did not get into the game until near its close. However, he showed that he had basket ball ability of no small amount. He is a very rapid player and is noted for breaking up dangerous passes. 5- Wright Amerine, Jenny -Guard -1918. Wright is the cool steady type of a guard. He never lost his head and his passes were always accurate. His avoirdu- pois was also a thing to be considered when playing opposite him. 6. Irvin Dungan. Irvin -Forward -- 1918. Dungan is one of the new players who showed to good advantage this year. He always played a Iast and hard-fighting game and had no trouble in making the basket at any time. 7. William Kiefaber. Bill -Forward --1918. Bill is the quick, wiry kind of a player. He was all over the floor break- ing up passes. This is his first year at bas- ket ball and his prospects for next year are exceedingly bright- 8. Clarence Lawrence. Bud -For- ward---1919. The Sophomore class furn- ished two good players for this year's team and Lawrence was one of them. He was a hard man to guard and could always be counted upon to add something to the score. We expect great things of him next year. BALL them, it looks as though L. H. S. will have a very good baseball team. The schedule which has so far been arranged is: April 20, C. Winchester at home. April 27, First team vs. Rushville at Rushville. April 27, Second team vs. Sugar Grove at home. April 28, Pleasantville at Pleasantville. May 4, C. Winchester at Winchester. May 11, Open. May 18, Open. May 25, Open. MIRAGE 69 GIRLS' BASKET BALL One cannot say that Athletics have been a great success in Lancaster High this year. if winning teams are necessary for succes. But one team which wore and defended the purple and gold so loyally was the Girls' Basket Ball Team. This team declin- ed.no challenges, cancelled no games and lost but two games. A great many of thc games were not interesting for the simple reason that the In-all was in Lancaster's ter- ritory, the great! r part of the tirre. The scores of .i ll the games of the season follow: Dec. 23, L. H. S. .,,... At Groveport ......... 7 Jan. 5 at L- H. S. Ashville ..,..,.......,.... 5 Jan. 12 at L. H. S.

The members of this team who are Sen- iors and expect to graduate are: Marion McCleery, Captain and Center, Elizabeth Kent, Running Center, and Mariam Grove, Guard . Those remaining are: Irma Derby- shire, and Forrest Brandt, Forwards, and Mary Kirn, Guard. Although more than half of the team will graduate, there is no reason whatever, that L. H. S. should not be represented by a mighty good team next year for we have the essentials of a good team. Marion Marie McCleery, Captain 1. Look at her jump! she gets the bat off every time! The stretchiest jumping center in the universe! That's Pud. At the end of '15-16 basket ball season she proved her popularity by being elected for the captainship for the '16-17 season. This is Marion's last year in dear old L. H. S. and someone will have to go away up in the air next year, if they play the game as she has done for two years. 2. Elizabeth Camp Kent. Business Manager. Libby was business manager and we guarantee that she can manage anything or anybody. She also played run- ning center and here her powers of manag- ing were again displayed, in that she man- aged to outplay nearly all of her oppon- ents be they large or be they small . No team which opposed L. H. S. this season had such good team work in center as Pu- die and Libby could use. This is Lib- by's third and last year on the team and she will surely be missed when the basket ball squad is called to arms next year. 3. Florence May Stephens. Altho Steve was compelled to quit the game shortly after the season opened, she showed that she was capable of playing a good game. She played guard and always ex- erted herself to the best of her ability. 4. Forrest Rose Brandt. I betcha a dime! On all the teams we played this year, there was only one guard who could keep our streak of lightning ' from scor- ing fand she was a college girlj. Almost every guard Forrest had, was much larger than herself but she always managed to run away from them and shoot baskets almost at will. When Blondy receives her sheepskin in May, Lancaster High will lose one of the best forwards in the State of Ohio. 5. Mary Frances Kirn. Mary was the surprise of the season. She played guard and her chief characteristic was bulldog- ish-hand-to-itivenessf' About the only thing she lacked was self-confidence. It is a great comfort to think she is a Freshman and will have three more years to play basket ball. May those years be even more succesful than this! 6. Irma Gladys Derbyshire. This was Irma's first year among the Regulars . MIRAGE 5 We-gif.. MIRAGE 7I Last year she played center in several gam- es but was never given a chance at forward However, we could depend on Irma to reach over the hands of her guard and toss the ball through the basket. Derby is a Junior and will be back next year to help make another winning team. 7. Miriam Grove. Miriam Grove bet- ter known as Pete among her many friends and admirers was a permanent fix- ture at right gaurd on the first team this year. Although this was Miriam's first year as a regular she played like a veteran of many seasons. It was largely due to her ability to keep the ball at Lancaster's end of the floor which enabled Lancaster to win game after game. Miriam is noted for her diminutive size and her Moody disposi- tion. This is Miriam's last year as she will graduate this spring, and it is with much regret that L. H. S. sees her go.-Coach Sutton. In 1908 at Lancaster High School an ef- fort was made to organize a girls' basket ball team. It was unsuccessful and the en- thusiasm of the girls died down until 1910 when they again started practicing. How- ever, it was not until 1911 that any other teams were played. In that season two games were played, Lancaster losing one and the other resulting in a tie. From that time until the present L. H. S. ui' Y, , - has had a team every season. And each one has been a credit to the school- The team of 1914-15 was not defeated and was granted the unofficial title of State Cham- pions. This year has been no exception and the Lancaster High Girls have met defeat but twice, once at the hands of a picked team from Ohio State. The second time over con- fidence and lack of practice caused them to lose at Worthington. But the girls are cry- ing Revenge and challenged .W H. S. to a game on a neutral floor. However the chal- lenge was unaccepted. But even with a winning team, the stu- dent body of L. H. S. fails to attend the games. The average number of students at- tending the games this year was not fifty! Why? The only answer we can give is Lack of School Spirit. On May third, a meeting was held in the Principal's office, for the purpose of electing the Captain and Business Manag- er for the season of 1917-18. Irma Derby- shire was elected Captain and Constance Hummell Manager. Each election was un- animous. These girls have the qualifications nec- essary to carry out the duties of their re- spective offices and with their help, L. H. S. should produce a team which would be a credit to any school in the state- Here s to you, Girls. -Mariam Grove. f- - . rf' Q ., 5 gf I4 1? x, V 1 XI QI 14 ca. n Xa. - , , v- -4 .. yyq i .

What would the size of old L. H. S. be, If every pupil worked just like me. What kind of spirit would there be, If everyone was as active as me. What would the value of school life be, If no one did any more than me. How full of money would the clars treas- ury be, If everyone paid as much as me.

Brutus- How many doughnuts did you eat Caesar? Caesar- Et Tu, Brute. If Alcide is fat, is Gasoline? His Verse. The Browns were a devoted family and it was the custom at dinner every day for each member of the family to repeat a verse from the Bible before commencing the meal. One day, five year old Jack had been naughty, and as a punishment was condemned to take his dinner from a lit-- tle table by himself. When it came his turn to repeat a text, he rose, and with the most innocent face possible said: Thou hast prepared a table for me in the presence of mine enemies. , hw K MIRAGE VK,-. :vw MIRAGE , I ft .vt -.f .. fe' If ' Q 'Ii . , W ,XJ , ,A , 2? 0 4 WJ 7 fvnfavvv . , 1.

Under the excellent direction of Alcide Brasseur, a member of the Class of '17, combined with the earnest work of the members of the Orchestra, L. H. S. can truthfully say that it has one of the largest and best orchestras in the history of the school. During the year the Orchestra has aid- ed at every play given at L. H. S. and at every rhetorical. The Orchestra is a very unselfish organ- ization and has lent its support ungrudging- ly. Every student should feel proud of the work it has done.

William Kiefaber George Keller Richard Norris The Commercial Department It has been a good year for the Commer- cial department. The enrollment, and the interest shown by the students has been most gratifying to the teachers, Mr. Currier and Miss Highland. The quality of the work done has been, on the whole, very sat- isfactory, while several students have done work of a very high grade. The advanced class in Stenography, in addition to the usual business correspond- ence has taken from dictation articles and editorials of current interest, including President Wilson's address to the American people. The Bookkeeping classes have worked diligently and have completed two sets- the first representing the busines of a sin- gle proprietor and the second the admission of a partner into the business--a partner- ship set. Rowels Bookkeeping and Ac- countancy was used as a text and much at- tention was given to the preparation of trading and profit and loss statements and to the fundamental principles of modern accounting. Typewriting The pupils of the Typewriting depart- ment have manifested a great interest in their work throughout the year. The results obtained prove that their ef- forts have not been in vain. The following pupils have passed the Re- mington test and received the first certifi- cate, which requires a speed of 25 words per minute for a period of ten minutes with not more than 5 errors. Fannie Lake 48 words per minute with 5 errors. Florence Stephens 44 words per minute with 5 errors. Bernice Repass 39 words per minute with 2 errors. Eva Kneller 39 words per minute with 4 errors. Catherine Barnes, 38 words per minute with 5 errors. Herbert Kneller, 31 words per minute with 5 errors. Ruth Powell, 29 Words per minute with 3 errors. Dewey Deeds, 29 words per minute with 4 errors. Elizabeth Schleicher 28 words per min- ute with 3 errors. Pauline Weis 27 Words per minute with 5 errors. Edith Thompson, 26 words per minute with 2 errors. Fannie Lake writing at a rate of 59 words per minute with one error and Flor- ence Stephens, 48 words with 4 errors, have also received the second certificate. ' While all of the pupils have not yet re- ceived an award, their work has been ex- cellent, and a number hope to be able to qualify in the May test. It is the expectation that one pupil will honor the department by qualifying for the gold medal before the year closes. Exchange. Ruth Pierce '17.

The first steps taken toward organizing an Alumni Association,- were started on Saturday afternoon, June 1, 1889. On this day about thirty graduates of the Lancaster High School met in Prof. Keyser's room in the North Public School building. The meeting was called to order by Supt. G. W. Welsh, and after stating the purpose of the assemblage and outlining the work to be done, Mr. Welsh was elected chairman. Frank W. Bope '87 was chosen as tempor- ary secretary. Chairman Welsh then appointed various necessary committees which were constitu- ted as follows: On permanent organization: George O Beery, '87 Jessie Wright, '51 and Anna Da- vidson, '72, On the program for the meeting follow- ing the commencement: Alice Carter, Mrs. M. C. Miller, Abbie C. Trout, Cora Outcalt and Michael Effinger. On Banquet: Mrs. E. E. Giesy, Lula Work Nellie Weakley, George P. Rising and Nei- lie Baker. On motion by Mr. Beery it was resolved that an adjournment should be made till Tuesday evening, June 4, at 8 o'clock. Thus ended the first meeting of the grad- uates of Lancaster High School. At the second meeting, June 4, which was held at the High School room, the first officers of the Alumni were chosen as fol- lows: President ..............,.....,............ William H. Hannum Vice President ...... William Davidson and Mrs. Dan Danehy. Secretary ...,..................................,... Frank W. Bope Treasurer ....................................... George P. Rising Executive Committee :-Henry B. Peters Millie Allen, Jessie Wright, Arthur Vorys. On motion by Mr. Hannum it was decid- ed to adopt a constitution, section by sec- tion. This has been used until the pres- ent time. After the organization had been success- fully carried out it was decided to have a meeting once a year taking in all graduates from the Lancaster High School. It has been the custom since the year 1890 to give a banquet in honor of the seniors and we heartily hope this will continue. Alumni 1857 Mrs. J. B.
