SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, in the fall of 1919, a jolly crew of sailors, numbering seventy-six, set sail on a high school cruise. For eight long years they had weathered the gales of the eight grades and longed for the time when they would reach the High School sea. Their labor was not in vain, for on September 6, they finally dropped anchor in the harbor of the old W. H. S. As this was a new adventure for the small sailors, the land seemed more strange than others; the customs were equally strange and the new comers at first were shy of the friendly inhabitants who proved later to be their fellow classmen. On first landing the feeling of home sickness and lonesomeness was warded off (?) by the Sophs “who endeavored to teach the Freshies what to do and where to go”. This however proved a heavy task. Later these Sophs and Freshies became real friends. Friendship thus formed made the year of 1919-20 a delightful one for the crew of sailors. These pleasant associations together with the fact that they were starting a life in a new land, filled with enthusiasm,, study and good cheer caused the time to pass quickly and Spring came too soon for the new comers, who were beginning to enjoy very much their new life. The fall of 1920 found the journeyers, who had anchored the year before in this strange world, anchoring again, but at a different port. They were a bit weary because some of their followers had deserted them, but the chief endeavor of those left was to succeed and they resumed their work with a light heart, at a port of the harbor called “Sophomore Land.” They thought it best to follow the established customs of the land, so assumed their first responsibility by journing to “Freshland” to initiate the “Freshies”. This accomplished, they settled down to hard work, having a “tug of war” with Caesar. The year before many of them had been heard singing “Just Before the Battle Mother” and now the reason for it was known. On disembarking at the Junior port in the fall of ’21, the sailors were found to be weaker in number but strong in mind. Their number had diminished to thirty-nine, but they seemed more active than ever. As they realized the great responsibilities of that year, their first work was to organize. Jess Rice was chosen President, Warwick Hawk as Vice President, Marcella Cragg, secretary and Paul Daugherty as treasurer. Early in that year, the Hi-Times, a new high school paper was published. The Juniors displayed much loyalty by backing the paper 10Qr r. After the Holidays came the Junior play “A Case of Suspension” which was a great success. At the close of the term, near the end of their stay at the Junior port, came the Junior-Senior reception. This reception will always be rememberd, by 23 the guests as one of the most successful ever given in the High School land. The fall of ’22 found the crew of sailors again diminished. The number was now only thirty-four. They have almost reached the end of their High School cruise. The thought that this was their farewell visit made them somewhat melancholy. They knew that with Spring would come departure—departure from the land to which they would never return. But on landing, they were made very happy with a welcome from their former teacher, Miss Colley, who had been with them ever since their “war” with Caesar, and they soon forgot their sadness, in the happiness which that year afforded. There was reorganization, with Worthington Scott as President, Dunkle King Vice President, Marcella Craggs as Secretary and Paul Daugherty as Treasurer; then they took up the various tasks of the year. Having enjoyed the hospitality of the land for four years, they desired to render some service to their Hi-School and they took upon themselves the responsibility of publishing the “X-Ray”, the first annual published by W. H. S. With the help of the other classes this publication was made a great success. And now the members of the crew of ’23, almost ready to leave High School land, to enter new fields of possibilities have adopted the motto “Climb—though the rocks be rugged”, a motto which if followed will in itself insure success to its thirty-four followers who have been, who hope to be, and who will endeavor to be creditable representatives of Wellston High School. 27 JUNIOR HISTORY Yes we are the Jolly Juniors. We are fifty-four in number and are proud of our class, and our dear old W. H. S. When we entered on our high school career, our number amounted to one hundred and eight. The first few days of high school work seemed trying, but after we became acquainted with the various teachers and with each other, we decided that our school life would be much more pleasant than we had previously anticipated. It was not long until we found the dreaded Freshman year completed and we entered our Sophomore year with better conceptions of high school life. However we were a little discouraged when we discovered that no more than three-fourths of our number had remained to complete with the second year studies. We were not organized with regular class officers the first two years but remained under the supervision of our teachers. We had many interesting debates in our Sophomore English class and we were victorious in our war with Caesar. The end of our Sophomore year was made memorable by the Sophomore picnic which was enjoyed to the utmost by the entire class. When we entered the Junior year our number had decreased to fifty-four. Under the regime of a new Superintendent and Principal, many new electives were introduced. There were many things to be discussed in our class, so, for effective work, organization was necessary. Our first class meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers. 28 jimimamm 21) 30 Glenden Welsh Lethel Souders Paul Ward Howard Zeigler Howard Wiseman Howard Graham Franklin Wills Elmo Lewis Oland Pierce Ruth Burley Lucille Byers Frank Pierpont Raymond Pope Lillian Bayes Doris Bowen Florence Handley Ruth Marks Helen Hudson Robert Stephenson SOPHOMORES Arthur Worthen Elizabeth Alberts Everett Steece Harold Krauskamp Elva Gaves William Rhodes Freda Harper Dorothy Hughes Thelma Davis Martha Baker Geneva Fealty Mary Fisher Marie Fisher Marie Manring Ruth Herd Carlene Davis Augustus Rizzutto Robert Talbott SOPHOMORE HISTORY Where are the Freshmen of twenty-two? Have they become so dignified that they have passed into the ranks of the learned of the world and are unnoticed? No, they have just taken the second step on the ladder to a successful high school career. Now they are Sophomores. It is true they are more dignified. Why not? They have accomplished a great feat. That is, being able to find all the 100ms, to look the Seniors in the eye and also to find the office. In nineteen hundred and twenty-one, one hundred freshmen were enrolled in Wellston High School. This was one of the largest classes ever enrolled in the school. At the end of the school year the members had dropped to ninety. Who will ever forget those first days? All the freshmen acquired the habit of glancing behind them only to behold the grinning face of some upper classmen. These same upper classmen were careful in their directions to lost Freshmen and incidently were always on the scene in time to enjoy the laugh. These were happy days and no Sophomore will ever forget them. There was no class organization during the Freshman year but at the end of the term many Freshmen names appeared on the honor roll. This same group came into due prominence as Sophomores, and as Sophomores we behold them now. At the beginning of the second year in Wellston High School every member was expectant of another successful year. The school was under new management; new teachers, new books and new rules made things more interesting. The faculty had been enlarged and the Sophomores were busy for a time hunting their teachers and choosing their subjects. After two weeks the real work started and every one started his work with a will and determination to make a success. Early in the first semester the class organized and its management was given into the hands of Joe Dando as President, Howard Graham as Vice President, Ruth McGhee as Secretary and Florence Handley as Treasurer. The members of the Sophomore class have taken a prominent place in all school activities. The boys have displayed much enthusiasm, especially in athletics. Sixteen members of the Sophomore class made the Foot-ball team and eight of these were lettered men. The boys who received this honor were Joe Dando, Gus Rizzuto, Henry McClung, Harold Newland, Lawrence Rupert, Harold Kruskamp, Paul Kirby and Orville Howell. Gus Rizzuto one of the members has been chosen Captain for the year 1923-24. Three of the members of the Sophomore Class are on the staff of the Ili-Times, the W. H. S. paper to which the class has contributed much in the way of contributions and support, as well as enthusiasm and interest. It is to one of the Sophomore group that goes the honor of naming the High School annual, the first publication of its kind in W. H. S. During the campaign for subscriptions the Sophomores responded loyally and rank second in per cent, of subscriptions. The quality of this class is such that there will be no lagging. No lapse of interest as the Junior goal approaches, but interest and enthusiasm will be found in every effort for success, in the completion of the High School course.

We’ve learned the building well by now, But, never shall we forget, How the haughty Seniors used to say, Now children, “watch your step.” October twenty-third our class was increased, By twenty-two Freshmen, so wise, Although few in number, they study hard, For “success is not always in size”. One of the most notable events of the year, Was the operetta given in December, The performance of thirty-one Freshmen girls, Makes this a play well remembered. As Christmas time was drawing near, The Freshmen did their part, By selling many Christmas seals, To cheer some weary heart. In the eighth grade we had great power, And enjoyed every right; But as little Freshmen at Wellston Hi, We shed almost no light. But Cheer up, dear classmates, all, This oppression cannot last; Some day we’ll too, be Seniors tall, And rule the other class. —Frances Hartley ’2( 42 44 DELBERT E. BOSTER Coach One of the finest coaches W. H. S. ever had. A true athlete and a real man. A. DUNKLE KING Manager “Dunk” The responsible factor for the team’s success financially and who was held in high esteem by the coach and players. WORTHINGTON J. SCOTT Left-half “Butcher” (Captain) A good open field runner and line plunger. Scott showed remarkable ability as Captain of the team. It is his last year and he will be greatly missed in the backfield next year. DELBERT BELLOMY Right-half “Delb” The fastest stepper in the backfield. A good passer and open field runner. This is Bellomy’s fourth and last year on the team. 45 GUS RIZZUTTO Full-back “Gus” A natural foot-ball player. One who can visualize the other team’s plays with uncannyness, and when a few yards were needed Gus furnished the necessary “punch”. Rizzutto is Captain-elect for 1923. CHARLES H. GODDARI) Quarter-back “Magook” A brainy field general who showed real ability in running the team. It is Goddard’s last year. JOE DANDO Right-end “Doc” An end of exceptional ability. It is Joe’s second year on end position. HENRY McCLUNG Right-tackle “Hen” A linesman profficient in all departments of the game, A great defensive and offensive player. HAROLD KRUSKAMP Right-guard “Hardy” His ability on the defense leaves little to be desired and he has very few equals on the offense. Quoted as one of the best guards that ever played on Ohio University Field at Athens. WENDELL WILLIS Center “Orpheus” Although a little light and it being Willis’ first year of foot-ball, yet he played a great game at center throughout the year. PAUL KIRBY Kirby His first year on the team, Kirby ability on both defense and offense, of Kirby next year. Left-guard showed marked Much is expected HAROLD NEWLAND Left-tackle “Private” Great was his use of words but greater was his playing ability.

Welsh helped to solve his problem. LAWRENCE RUPERT Utility-man “Pert” Always ready to go into the game at any time. Rupert should make a good showing next year on end position. 48 THE SEASONS REVIEW THE CENTERVILLE GAME CENTEKVILLE-0 W. H. S.-45 Prepared for a hard game, we started with a rush scoring in the first few minutes of play. The Centerville team was a game little bunch but it was outplayed at all times. In the second half the second team was sent in to finish the game. THE OAKHILL GAME OAK.HILL-7 W. H. S.-6 A lack of enthusiasm and over-confidence were the big causes of our first defeat of the season. The heavier down-county lads had the breaks and although out-played left the field victors. THE III DWELL GAME BIDWELL-0 W. H. S.-39 Still smarting under the defeat at Oakhill’s hands, Wellston shattered Bidwell’s foot-ball hopes, and second string men were used. THE RIO GRANDE GAME RIO GRANDE-16 W. H. S.-19 The Rio Grande combination although much larger and heavier than our team was handed a beating to the close call of IS) to 16. Our points were scored in the first few minutes of play. THE LOGAN GAME LOGAN-O W. H. S.-l The game was hard fought all the way. Although the score was 7 to 7 in the fourth quarter, the Logan eleven forfeited the game in order to catch their train. THE ATHENS GAME ATHENS-25 W. H. S.-O After a weeks hard practice we journeyed to Athens where after holding the husky Athenians scoreless for twenty minutes, our defense weakened, and Athens taking advantage of the breaks, ran up a score of four touch downs. THE GLOI STER GAME GLOUSTER-O W. H. S.-52 Playing on a field of mud we handed the plucky Glouster eleven a beating to the tune of 52 to 0. Though outplayed they fought to the end. THE NEW BOSTON GAME NEW BOSTON-9 W. H. S.-37 The New Boston eleven although plucky,, wilted before the smashing attacks of Coach Boster’s men, and were beaten by the one-sided score of 37-0. JACKSON-O THE IACKSON GAME Wellston 13 The last and most important game of the season came on “Thanksgiving day” with our old rivals, Jackson. The whole team buckled down to real practice in preparation for this game. The entire school showed a spirit never before seen at W. H. S. The evening before the game a “fog raiser” was held on the streets of the City and every one was there in spirit as well as body. The next morning the fellows met at the school house and dressed. Hundreds of people, including almost all the student body went to Jackson in trucks and machines. Arriving at Jackson the team went immediately to the field to await their foes. Jackson arrived on the field at 10:20 and the royal battle was soon started. Nemecek and Moorehead, Ohio State Football stars were the officials of the day. Jackson received Bellomy’s kick-off and started a furious charge down the field but were soon put to a dead stop by the W. H. S. warriors on their 40 yard line. Here they were forced to punt and Wellston took the ball down the field. A bad punt gave Jack-son the ball again but were held for downs. Thus the battle waged through the first quarter. During the second quarter W. H. S. had possession of the ball and on an off tackle play Capt. Scott broke through the line and raced 70 yards for the first touch down; ti-y for point failed. The first half ended with the score 6-0 in favor of the Blue and Gold. In the third quarter Kruskamp on a fake end run made a nice run for a touch down but was called back by the referee for Wellston being off side. Jackson then held the Blue and Gold warriors and recovering the ball, punted, Bellomy received the ball and ran 30 yards for the second touch down. Scott on an end run made the extra point. From then on the boys showed Jackson who was really fish, and the game ended 13-0 in favor of Wellston. It was a grand old day for Wellston Hi. To comment upon each individual would take a long time as every one played “bang-up” foot-ball. Thus the season ended, with W. H. S. the triumphant victors over the old rivals, Jackson. 'bdjjjjjx THK GRIDIRON ACHIEVEMENT The Foot ball season of 1922 at Wellston Hi School was one of the biggest successes, since the season of 1916. With a total of nine games on the schedule, Wellston won 7 and lost 2, scoring 208 points to her opponents 48 The first defeat handed us by Oak Hill Hi was really a good thing, as the team had developed a little over ocnfidence, and which after the game soon disappeared. Every evening we practiced “clipping”, “tackling”, “running punts”, and hard “scrimmage”. Coach Boster in the snappy manner which is his, soon had the “green” material of which there was a good deal, in good shape, and Wellston hit ’em with a b-a-n-g. All through the season the team had a “never say die spirit” and entered into every game with the “Old Foot Ball Fight”. The public showed real interest in the team and turned out in good numbers to the games. In all, the season was very successful. Our Coach, Boster, deserves much praise for his fine coaching, which was the foundation of the success of the team. The players were all for one and one for all. Standing for clean athletics he drove home the meaning of fair play to his men. True sportsmanship and the best qualities found in a man are the make up of our Coach Mr. Del belt E. Boster The following account of the first foot-ball game ever played in Wellston, reprinted from the November 19, 1898 issue of the Wellston Sentinel, will no dqubt prove interesting reading to present day football followers Of the Wellston men participating in this game, but three are at present in the city: Clyde Scott, father of this year’s captain; Claude E. Brooks, bandmaster and clerk in the post office; Will Thomas, postmaster and football official. “ONLY A PRACTICE GAME” “The Jackson Herald, this week, has a lengthy account of a so-called game of football between the elevens of the Jackson and Wellston High Schools. It is true that the Wellston boys accommodated the Jacksonians with a practice game last Saturday afternoon on the gridiron, on the commons near Wellston furnace, but as to its being a champion game, with all that it implies, this thought never entered the minds of either team. The Jackson boys had twice requested a game to practice for their contest today (Saturday) at McArthur. They have had a ball team for about nine weeks, while our boys have only beer, practicing one-third of this time. Anyone should know that with their practice they ought to win hands down in a regular game. But they failed to show in the practice that they were so “awfully many”. The signs of both teams worked well, but both elevens made errors and fouls, which committed in a regular game, would not have been permitted. The playing of both teams, however, was at times brilliant, and difficult movements of either team were heartily applauded by the large number of enthusiasts. No goals were kicked or attempted by either team. The time of the halves was fixed at 35 minutes. The colors of the Jackson team were black and crimson, while those of the home eleven were blue and white. The Jacksonians made two touchdowns in the first half. The fine work was done by Bertch and Jones. Wellston made their first and only touchdown in the second half. It was made within ten minutes after they obtained the ball, and by a criss cross. It was no fumble, as charged, but the work of our boys was commended by all observers as highly brilliant. Thomas secured the ball and, passing toward the left side, gave it to Larcamp, who carried it around right end for a touchdown. The sprint was fully ninety yards and was mrnaooQQ0(XXXXXXXXX)™ 51 made in exceptionally short time and by clever dodging. It was a sensational play. Jackson made a touchdown in the second half, but only after much hard work. The ball was wrestled back and forth, but, with but one and one-half minutes remaining to play, they succeeded in scoring. Bertch made the touchdown. The score was Jackson 15, Wellston 5. Touchdowns, Bertch 2, Jones 1; Larcamp 1. The Wellston boys had no idea of scoring, as the team had had but little practice, and were compelled to play with two substitutes, while the Jacksonians have practiced daily under an experienced instructor. The lineup of the teams was as follows: John Richardson C Frank Delay Clyde Scott RG Chas. Jones Delver Townsend LG Chas. Steele Bruno Schade- LT Gould Murfin Denny Reagan RT Orus Jackson Mathias James LE John Evans Mose Gep RE Jim Higgins Tom Larcamp LH Chas. Jackson W. E. Thomas (Capt.) RH Herb. Beatty C. E.

Both the affirmative and negative teams met their opponents on the evening of March 9, 1923; the latter team debated at Logan where ’tis said the members did credit to our town and school; the same may be said also of the members of our affirmative team who met Athens here at Wellston. While our team cannot boast a victory, yet we cannot call it defeat. Their initial ability ranked high and they require only experience to render them able to cope with any High School teams sent out. Hurrah for the Debating teams.

E. church one of the most interesting school events of the year was conducted by the members of the Public Speaking class in the form of an oratorical contest. Six public speaking students chosen at preliminaries by competent judges, showed unusual ability in the delivery of orations prepared for the occasion. Prizes were awarded as follows:— First prize, a gold metal, to Charles Goddard. Second prize, a gold pencil, to Marcella Craggs. Third prize, a High School pennant, to Lois Martin. Others speaking were Jess Rice, Mable Higgins, and Mary Norris all of whom deserve most favorable mention. Due to the efforts of the Public speaking teacher Mr. Fritz and the members of the class, the first of it’s kind presented by the High School, was made possible, and it is hoped it will be made an annual affair.

THE FEAST OF THE RED CORN On the evening of December 22nd, 1922 the Girls’ Glee Club made its initial public appearance in an operetta eneitled “The Feast of the Red Corn.” This pleasing presentation was under the able direction of Prof. D. H. Williams, music director, and -Miss Margaret George who assisted with the costumes and dances.

Claudine Talbott Chorus Dancers Lauretta Melvin, Pauline Deckard, Ruth McGhee, Elizabeth Moore, Ruth Marks, Ardith Smith, Ruth Zeigler, Maude Wills, Marian Poore, Evelyn Collier, Ellen Gee, Fern Leach The operetta was given in two acts. The setting was a glen in the center of a deep forest. The time was the evening before and the morning of the “Feast of the Red Corn”. The maidens of the Wanda tribe of Indians each year celebrated the “Feast of the Red Coi n” in a secluded part of the forest. The one, who in the feast finds the first red ear of corn expresses her dearest wish to the old squaw, who calls upon the gods of the Four Winds to give a sign that the wish will be granted. This year the Queen Weeda Wanta joins the maidens, hoping to get the red ear because of her great desire to know of the welfar of. the king. The scene opens with the entranc of the maidens into the glen where the feast shall take place. The old squaw tells the maidens the winds have whispered to her that there will be no wish granted this year because someone has committeed a grievous offense. Impee Light the younger sister of the queen is suspected of being the culprit and is threatened with burning at the stake. While the maidens are pursuing Impee Light away in the forest, the Queen comes to the glen and signs the “Star of the Farthest North” to protect and guide her king who has gone to the wars in the north, and from whom she has had no word. The maidens capture Impee Light who has been teasing the three little children of the Queen and committed the terrible offense of tying war-feathers on the sacred stuffed bear. Impee Light excuses herself on the grounds of having inherited a peculiar temperament and as she tells of her weird fancies the ghosts of the dead trees rush in on the scene and dance, finally disappearing in the forest. The little children have grown tired and the Queen lulls them to sleep. The squaw makes use of the opportunity and at the end of act one, weaves a spell which puts them all to sleep and she disappears into the forest. At the break of dawn, Impee Light having pretended sleep, but having resisted the spell of the old squaw, rouses the sleeping maidens who with great glee join her in “The Tale of the Three Little Bears”. The Queen suggests a canoe ride before they celebrate the feast, where upon the old squaw emphatically declares that there can be no use in holding the ceremony because the Four Winds are angry. The Queen protests that during the canoe trip some sign may come to show how they may please the Four Winds and all but the Old Squaw go off into the canoes. The Old Squaw left alone, sings the “Song of Sorrow”, and the shades about her take form and dance the Flaming Arrow Dance which is interrupted by the return of the Queen and all the maidens, hysterical over the drowning of the three little ones and Impee Light. They all sing the “Song of Sorrow” and then the three little Indian’s bodies having been recovered are carried in on stretchers and the maidens cover their eyes to lament. The three children, who have been playing dead, jump up and laugh at the maidens explaining how they upset the canoe in shallow water and kept their heads above water under the canoe, and Impee Light rushes in to enjoy the joke. The Queen insists that Impee Light has really saved the lives of the children and on this account, the Four Winds must be appeased and will hearken to the maidens. The old squaw undertakes to awake the winds again and this time with success. The Feast is celebrated, The Queen finds the Red Ear, and in answer to her wish, sees in the beautiful pageant at the end, a vision of her king, who is alive and well and on his journey home. 62 Editorial Staff Editor-in-Chief ...

As out I walked I met a dog And raised my arm to strike it When I heard a voice exclaiming “Hold” I answered, “As you like it.” As on I walked a loving pair I met, I soon discovered it was “Romeo and Juliet.” “Two gentlemen from Verona” while dressed in their best, Caught a good drenching “While out in a tempest”. They sat by the fire, hung their coats on a nail, While I related to them “A Winters Gale”. They stayed until the “Tewlfth Night”, Which proved a “Comedy of Errors”. Then came “Othello” and “Iago” too, Which brought to my mind the “Taming of the Shrew”. Like “Richard the Third’T awoke, At last I realized my situation— And strange every thing did seem; It was only “A Mid-Summers Night’s dream.” C. M.
