I am not endowed with the gifts of the great Historian Gibbon yet great as the task may be I shall attempt to construct a Roman Road through the four years of our High School career as that illustrious gentlemen constructed one through fourteen centuries of Roman History. When the members of the class of ’24 entered W. H. S. in 1920 one hundred-eight strong, we felt somewhat like immigrants from many different countries, entering a strange new land with new customs, new habits and new ideals. Several years before we had embarked on the good ship “Grammar School” and were now landing on our Ellis Island, better known to the students as the Freshmen Land. Since no immigrants appreciate the name applied to them we resented our new name of Freshies. Many became so discouraged that they returned home. However those who remained received much encouragement from our faculty members, to whom we are greatly indebted. Just as immigrants seeking citizenship are eager to learn the customs, ideals and language of their adopted country so the class of 1924 in the first year of its History in this new land became eagerly engrossed in the studies of Latin, Algebra, Geography and English, the High School Symbols. At the end of the Freshmen year we were conscious that we had achieved something. We knew we had mounted another round of the ladder of our school success. In the fall of the next year a few of our faint-hearted companions anticipating the struggle which was shortly to ensue avoided the draft rather tactfully and thus it was with slightly diminished numbers that we began our attack on Caesar. Although no world famous battles were fought, the outcome was one of victory for the class of ’24 and was celebrated with pomp and ceremony by a hilarious picnic. At this time this band of immigrants entering their Junior year of their sojourn realized their need of a leader. To meet this need Ralph Baumgartner was given the office of President, Wendell Willis that of Vice President, Ruth Rice, Secretary and Paul Harris, Treasurer. This year was made memorable not by a war with Caesar but by a color skirmish between the Juniors and Seniors. A skirmish which was finally settled to the sat- isfaction of both parties, and our friendships were more firmly cemented by participation together in the Junior-Senior Reception. But since there is no achievement without progress we proceeded to the realm of the stately Seniors. Here, too, it was necessary to select leaders. Our President and Treasurer were re-elected while Robert Sellers became Vice President and Muriel Harrison, Secretary. Early in the year we realized our position of responsibility as dignified Seniors and in due time Class Emblems were ordered which have since been displayed in the form of rings and pins. We decided to avoid a repetition of the color struggle of the year before by deciding on a tug of war and we hope thereby to establish a precedent which will do honor to the class of ’24. Although we come to the end of our Senior year with less than half the number of our Freshmen Class we still have the honor of being the largest class to graduate from Wellston High School, and we are proud to be the first to graduate from our beautiful new High School Building. As we come to the closing days of our History as a High School we are conscious of a feeling of close comradeship, of a confidence in our class mates and of pride that we belong to the class of ’24. Although we are finishing our High School course it is in its truest sense a Commencement. We are again a band of immigrants facing a new life in another new land. As we look back over our school life we are thrilled by the memory of its associations and blessings and we ask ourselves—“Lives there a man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said, this is my own, my native school ?” We are not so conceited as to imagine our class will occupy the highest record in the history of our school but we have struggled perseveringly and bravely realizing with the poet that Heights of great men reached and kept. Were not obtained by sudden flight, But they while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.” And in the light of this consciousness we hope to be worthy of our motto, “We Lead, Others Follow.” —Elizabeth Smith. GRADUATION We were determined we would do it And our judgment said, ‘You’re right;’ Our teachers gave us courage While we worked with all our might. We knew nothing could prevent us, ’Tho the odds seemed mighty strong, And confident, we vanquished obstacles As they came along. All the world may love a lover, But it loves a winner best, Loves the one, who ’til he conquers, Does not stop e’en tho’ for rest. We were often tired—discouraged, Yet we told ourselves within, ’Keep on trying, do not falter. And you will be sure to win! So as Father Time had planned it Days flew swiftly, swiftly by, And today we stand rewarded Seniors now in Wellston High. Classmates, we have reached our goal line Shall we cross it?—Yes we must! Other goals lie in the future, Other obstacles for us. Shall we then in the vast future Cause our motto to ring true? Shall we lead while others follow ? We must honor ‘Gold and Blue’. —Emmadale Woodruff. WILL OF THE CLASS OF ’24 We, the Seniors of Wellston High School, the City of Wellston in the County of Jackson and the State of Ohio, being of sound mind, memory and understanding do publish and declare this to be our last will and testimony hereby revoking all other wills by us heretofore made. We bequeath our knowledge of passing notes and bluffing the teachers to the Freshmen for future use during their journey through High School. We gladly leave our dignity to the Sophomores who are sadly in need of it. To our friends the Juniors we bequeath our prestige as Seniors which we hope they will in no way dishonor. Pauline Deckard grudgingly leaves her “Leggs” to Marcena Deal who needs the legacy bad enough. Paul Harris leaves his fast ways and wild life to Barton Baumgartner, who is such a quiet boy. Muriel Harrison generously gives her curly locks to Claudine Talbott. Bob Sellers and John Rice leaves their extensive knowledge of Spanish to Lowell Gettles and Lamar Jones. Emmadale Woodx-uff leaves her chewing gum to Robert Talbott hoping he will get as much enjoyment out of it as she. Ralph Baumgartner leaves his big feet to the Sophomore Hubert Jordan. Ruth Pope and Ada Morgan wish to leave to Rebecca Allen and Lorena Wills the rings which they wear on the third finger of their left hand. Audrey Fennel, Addie Baker and Carmen Abele leave their knowledge and lively ambition to Bob Stephenson, Dizzy Gehring, and Harold Newland. Gladys Grooms leaves her most entrancing smile to Captola Snedecor which we hope Cap will wear instead of the disfiguring grin which is generally present. To Paul Gettles, the curly headed blonde youth, Dale Patrick leaves his hair groom. Herbert Collard leaves his usual Sunday Night dates and good night kisses to Glendon Welsh. To Florence Handley, Ardith Smith leaves her friendly ways and love for the men. Ellen Gee wills her excuse blanks to Elizabeth Moore which certainly will save Elizabeth a lot of trouble next year. To Hardy Kruskamp, Raye Welsh leaves his ability to play football. Ruth Daugherty leaves her bashfulness and maidenly reserve to Max-y Morgan. To Paul Helm, Edna Reed leaves her knack of bluffing the teachers (and everybody else) hoping that he may px-ofit by it in the future as she has in the past. Thelma Woltz leaves her unsux-passed art of taking the creases out of young men’s ti’ousei's to the boistex-ous Sophomore Bernice Edwards. Cranston James bequeaths his surplus fat to one of the Freshmen much in need of it, Ax-tie Lockard. To the sober little Sophomore Joshie Jarvis, Lola Hamer gives her sunny disposition. Elizabeth Smith wishes to leave a certain little Sophomore lad in the hands of a vex-y reliable maiden (?). To the flashing bx-unette Helen Hudson, Florence Walburn leaves her beloved Hen. The Senior Six, namely Lauretta Melvin, Pauline Neary, Toddie Campbell, Pauline Deckard, Lillian Mooi-e and Max-gie Burke leave the task of raising the colors to the Seniox-s of next year. To all under classmen we bequeath aimable dispositions, pleasant laughter, and gentle voices which will do much to help them make their way through Wellston High School. In witness whei-eof we do hex-e unto set our seal this 28th day of May, 1924. ' Signed: The Class of ’24. —Margax-et Bux-ke. VVa- '-;v -v- m CLASS PROPHECY One day last June I was riding in a taxi cab in St. Louis. I was suddenly startled by a loud crash, a terrible jar, and I knew no more. Several days later I awakened to find myself in a small iron bed in the city hospital. I was told I had been deliriously unconscious during the entire perod. As is the case in delirium when the mind is capable of most extraordinary hallucinations, I was conscious of conditions which seem inconsistent. Many of these conditions also seem highly improbable judging from our knowledge of affairs as they actually exist today. However, I wonder, if in a mysterious way the future of my class mates was not revealed to me—if not accurate as to details yet exact enough for us to predict in a general way the course of life which each will follow in the future. If you care to listen I shall relate to you some of the startling, unbelievable experiences that came to me during that period of unconsciousness. As I have said you must not expect this account to be consistent because dreams of delirum never are, but you must agree that they give us a clue to interesting conclusions. During a part of my delirium I seemed to be in Berlin X Roads. To my deluded consciousness Raye Welsh appeared. He was working for the United States Government as the originator of wind. Isn’t that quite possible when we remember Red’s disposition ? I was further surprised to learn that his wife was none other than our class mate “Butch” Woodruff. I asked her why she married Red. She answered, “He talked so long and so fast I had no chance to say ‘no’.” “Butch” informed me that our class President Ralph Baumgartner, lived just a few squares away and suggested that I drop in and see him. Of course I acted on her suggestion and when I arrived at the Baumgartner home I found dear old Bummy with a family of seven boys. He was preparing to take his family to the circus, and invited me to go along. I gladly consented. When we reached the tent we found it very crowded, but after much effort we secured good seats. I gave little heed to the manager when he made the announcement, “Greatest Bareback Riders of the World” but I certainly was all attention when Ellen Gee and Pauline Deckard appeared. I was really so surprised I cannot tell you whether their act was good or not. Another feature of the circus was the clowns. The most interesting of all was the rather small man whom Bummy told me was Paul Harris. I was truly shocked. I left this town and proceeded to Hogansville. Imagine my surprise when I found there a college with Gerald McCormick as President. Serving as Assistants and Teachers were: Dale Patrick, Professor of machine driving, Ardith Smith, Professor of Love Making and Maude Wills, head of Chewing Gum Department. Here I inquired about other class mates and found that Gus Rizzuto was a traveling salesman in Iceland. His line was Panama hats. I learned that Vera Grady was living the life of a confirmed old maid. It was said she was running a matrimonial add each week in the Wellston Daily Sentinel. They told me that Ohio State University had just opened up a new department devoted to the Art of acquiring beauty; courses were given in the application of lip-stick, rouge, eye brow pencil, etc. Carmen Abele was Supervisor of all work in this cosmetic department. I also heard from them concerning Thelma Lewis, Margaret Burke and Toddy Campbell. Thelma has become a famous swimmer, one of the most graceful divers of the world’s champions. Margaret and Toddy were hoping to make a raise in the world selling yeast foam. Without any effort or knowing why, I was in Petrea. Strange as it may sound, the center of interest there was the Radio Broad Casting station. Donald Bell was head electrician and general manager. He invited our company to “sit in” and enjoy an evening of Radio entertaiment at first hand. The first number was a concert by a group of Chinese Students. Pauline Neary was their instructor. She showed great interest in her Chinese pupils, especially the boys. Next was rather a sad, melancholy lecture by Denver Lewis on the great American Onion. It was quite pathetic—the very thought of it brings tears to my eyes. To our surprise and pleasure the next number was a solo by Robert Sellers. His selection seemed to be one of the popular songs of the time, entitled, Mammy Feeds Me Garlic So She Can Find Me in the Dark”. Cressie Angel was traveling from coast to coast giving instructions on how to grow thin. Edna Reed and Lola Hamer were writing recipes for a “Ketch-Up” Factory. Ruth Pope and Ada Morgan were making a lecture tour of the United States. Their principal lecture was “Woman is a Necessary Factor in the Existence of Mankind. Cranston James was Edtor-in-Chief of the Daily News of Keystone, Ohio. On his staff was Lillian Moore, Editor of the Department Advice to The Lovelorn.” It was at Keystone that I next seemed to be. My dreams were rather vague at this point but I realized I was in the presence of a large crowd gathered around what seemed to be a ring, and then I saw Addie Baker and Geneva Davis boxing for the light weight championship of the United States. Mildred Rhodes was referee of the boxing match. Here too T discovered Herbert Collard. Herb had written a very popular novel on “The Deceitfulness of Women”. It was whispered he had been disappointed in love. Here also in some way, I can’t recall how. I obtained the information that Florence Burley and Ethel Fink had discovered a new kind of face powder and were running a powder factory. That Emily Wickline was a Suffragette and was using her influence to persuade Congress to pass a law forbidding kissing between boys and girls under twenty years of age. Then I wandered or rather mv mind wandered from Keystone to Vinton. You may not believe what a large place this appeared to be. Thousands of people visited there each season to attend the famous Ziegfield Follies. I saw Muriel Harrison, the star that season; and four of the chorus girls were my class mates Gladys Grooms, Thelma Woltz, Florence Walbum and Mildred Lantz. I was proud of these friends after I had seen their show. The remainder of my vision was less distinct. Probably the experience just before the return to consciousness and I can be no more accurate than to say—I saw John Rice in politics—Sheriff at Pilgys Knob. Terry Souders, that famous aviator, always up in the air. Elizabeth Smith teaching Kenneth in Rutherford, Kentucky. Wilma Norris and Ruth Daugherty manufacturing false teeth for the natives in Africa. I was half conscious during this last revelation and I opened my eyes to see a nurse on each side of my cot and the surgeon ready to clip the bandages about my head an operation which he postponed when he noticed my returning reason. Needless to say, much of my period of convalescence was spent in thinking over the experience I have related to you. Perhaps you too are wondering whether dreams come true. —Lauretta Melvin.

S.’ Our class gave the High School a great surprise When Cupid’s dart hit a girl, under our eyes, A little black-haired, brown-eyed lass, The one that talked so much in the Junior Class, ‘Of Old W. H. S.’ We’re sure that our class must be mighty smart Because we have some with talent in art, Cheer leader, manager of athletics and football too, As numerous as monkey species in a zoo, ‘Of Old W. H. S.’ There’s a difference between one hundred and the present fifty-three, But we’re equal to one hundred you must all agree, If it weren’t for the faculty we’d all be sure to pass But they answer every question with the words, “That Junior Class” ‘Of Old W. H. S.’ But it is not my purpose to treat in jest A class that will always stand for the best In every place at every time, so then Next year, with classmates true we’ll assemble again, “In Old W. H. S.” —Fern Leach.

Rodney Scott ........ Mary Rice Kenneth Ruthford We’re a rare aggregation—this class of twenty-six. From the north, south, east and west, from here, there, everywhere, we came and presented Wellston Hi with her largest and most talented class. One hundred and twenty-five strong, we, in the September of 1922 started our uphill fight against low grades, austere teachers and knowing upper classmen. Though at times we made grave mistakes, and had to endure the painful correction of those dignified persons who called themselves Seniors, we soon absorbed that indispensable quality ‘school spirit’, and members of our class became prominent in every activity of W. H. S. In October our number was increased to one hundred and forty-seven, by the entrance of twenty-two eighth grade pupils, Baby Freshmen as they were called, who were deemed capable of doing high school work. At the beginning of our Sophomore year our number had diminished to one hundred and ten, but we still retained our place as largest class in school. Early in the school year we held our annual class election. Naturally as Sophomores we dare to display more initiative in school activities. The class of ’26 during its Sophomore year has contributed much to W. H. S. in the line of music, literary work and athletics. A number of our girls are in the Glee Club, and deserve their share of praise for the cantata, “The Angel and the Star” and the operetta “Miss Cherry Blossom”. Four members of our class have been chosen for the debating team, and many of the boys are prominent in football, baseball, basketball and track. The statement “By their activities may the all-round class be judged”, is well proved by the class of ’26. We wish to let W. H. S. and the whole world know that we of ’26 have a definite goal, a definite aim and that aim is to be the best all-round class and to graduate from a bigger and better Wellston High. —Helen Colley.

However before many days most of us were settled in our regular routine and with few exceptions there were no change of schedules. The Freshmen courses were quite regular with the exception of the electives Algebra, Latin and Industrial Geography. A few regretted their decision after it was too late but the majority tried to accept their studies cheerfully. At the suggestion of Robert Hunley the Freshmen Class was called together October 31, 1923 for the purpose of organizing a Freshmen Liter-ary Society. This organization later assumed the name Comes. All Freshmen were eligible but only a small per cent, availed themselves of the opportunity. Miss Beck was chosen as Advisor of the Society. Our life as Freshmen has not been different from the ordinary Freshmen class. Of course we have been made to know our place but even though Freshmen the High School knows we are here. We have profited as much as the upper classmen from the new High School Building especially in the use of the gymnasium, a much needed and appreciated feature of the school, and furthermore, at the inter-class games the Freshmen scored higher than their opponents, the Sophomores. And now as the end of the term approaches we the Freshmen Class feel proud of our achievement and success and although a few of our members have withdrawn we are looking forward to next year when those of us who remain will assemble again as Sophomores. —Ada Merle Davis.

It was the second operetta in our High School history and in many ways was better than the “Feast of Red Com” which was given last year. It was directed by Prof. D. H. Williams, our well known Music Director. The staging and costumes were under the management of Miss George, most capably assisted by Pauline Neary, the glee club accompanist. A short story of the play is as follows: Cherryblossom who is really an American girl, Evelyn Barnes, was born in Japan and her parents died of fever there. She was left in the hands of Kokimo, a Japanese inn keeper and has been brought up as a Japanese maiden. She is the favorite among the Geisha girls. Her father’s secretary uses her property for his own interests, and when Cherry is about eighteen, he and a party of Americans visit Japan. John Henry Smith, of this party falls in love with Cherry and this provokes Kokemo very much as he has already made plans for her marrage with Togo, a very rich politician. While the Americans are visiting here, Togo comes to complete arrangements for his marriage with Cherry. John (John Henry Smith) and Cherry try to elope but are caught by Togo and Kokemo. After a certain length of time Togo loses the election and Kokemo, who has helped finance his campaign is certainly in the dumps until Worthington, the secretary, tells him of Cherry’s fortune, also that Jack is a very rich man in America. Kokemo is overjoyed at the good news and immediately changes his opinion of Jack and as he says “I love him like a brother”. Thus Jack and Cherry marry and Kokemo gives them his “infernal—I would say paternal—blessing”. ■ V ■■■ mm £ I yen HI-TIMES'®- k w.:� n vovrm r r? nrr vrrDKxr or wnurox men vhooc :M«Wl AND OCTOSCH, 1 6 'PAIGN FACULTY t.k ig • n« IX-1 •« •« •u - ih. a-rx.

Under his surveillance W. H. S. has developed a football machine that has not been equalled since 1916. He has also been largely instrumental in promoting interest in three major sports, baseball, basketball and track. Coach Boster possesses those qualities so necessary to true sportsmanship. He has within him the power to arouse the fighting spirit of a losing team and does not forget the word of commendation for the winners. While acting as both coach and pal to his athletes he wins their devotion and by standing firmly for clean athletics he inspires their admiration and confidence. W. H. S. is fortunate to have Coach Boster on the faculty. •GUS’ RIZZUTO — CAPT. Full-back “Chine” A natural football player proficient in all departments of the game. ‘Chine’ as captain of the team was a competent leader, having uncanny ability in diagnosing the opponents movements. Rizzuto sustained a bad ankle injury in the early season practice which noticeably handicapped his usual plunging game, but although injured, grit and nerve kept him in all the games. This is captain Rizzuto’s last year and he will be badly missed by the 1924 squad. HAROLD KRUSKAMP — (Capt. elect) Left-half “Hardy” At the annual Rogan Football Banquet the boys made manifest their great appreciation and high esteem for “Hardy” Kruskamp when they elected him captain for the '24 season. Hardy is known throughout Southern Ohio as the greatest player in football circles, he has been made captain of Thomas’s mythical eleven. Captain elect Kruskamp is a most versatile player, punter, passer and line plunger. He will find a berth on any college team of his choosing. 66 3] -c: GLENDON WELSH ‘The Boy’ Mgr. Glendon Welsh better known to the squad as “the boy” is a capable manager. No one of the athletes gave more time to athletics than did Glendon. He was always busy and too much credit cannot be given him. He has been made manager of all athletics for the year. RED WELSH Right-half “Red” Though naturally a line man, Welsh was this year placed in the rear garden and there developed into one of the best interference men seen in action. Circling ends became easy when ‘Red’ was at his real self and was sent ahead to clear the way—a reason for much of the splendid showing of the other backs. Welsh also played defensive end took care of the job nobly. He is a senior and will be missed from the ’24 line up. JOE DANDO Quarter-back “Doc” ‘Doc’ directed the plays from the field and did it so well that only commendation can be offered. In addition to directing the plays Dando was used as running mate for Kruskamp, circling ends for splendid gains and bucking for a few yards when needed. Dando is one of the best defensive ends in the state stopping all attempts around his way. 6« rss: ORVILLE HOWELL Right-end “Halley” “Halley” could play in any position on the eleven; in the absence of Pierpont Howell played center and in the absence of Dando he directed the plays from the quarter-back position, also played half-back and tackle; but when not needed to bolster up weaknesses elsewhere Howell found himself flanking right-end. ROY GEHRING Right-end “Dizzy” Early in the season Coach Boster needed a pair of dependable ends. “Dizzy” helped to solve the problem. He was badly injured in early season but despite this handicap he came into the Thanksgiving Game and played a stellar role, showing real ability in returning punts. HENRY McCLUNG Right-Tackle “Hen” Though not the spectacular type “Hen” McClung plays the same consistant hard-fighting game throughout the season, he could open holes in any line and is equally proficient in stopping all attempted plays through his side of the line. McClung was one of the most valuable in service in critical plays always steady and composed. GE= 67 Right-Guard JOE JOSEPH “Big Joe This was Joseph’s first year to don the blue and gold uniform, and his lack of experience made sensational playing impossible. However Joe’s rapid improvement was marked as the season progressed and the last game of the season he shouldered his share of the offensive and defensive burden. He has n big football future ahead. FRANK PIERPONT Center “Pierpont” The past season saw Pierpont in uniform for the first time, but his natural football ability coupled with the fighting spirit placed him on the pivot position where he remained during the entire season. Pierpont has another year for football and will be a big cog in next year’s football wheel. JOHN RICE Left-Guard “Ricey” One of the greatest little linesman ever turned out in Wellston High School was the fighting, scrapping, tearing and sputtering Mr. Rice. Although this was John’s first year for football he established himself so well for defensive work in the first game that his position was never later questioned. A man to be badly missed next year. Left-Tackle HAROLD NEWLAND “Private” Private was one of the best men on the blue and gold line. It was always known when Newley was out of the game because the team lacked pep. Newland was out of the Jackson game because of a misunderstanding; if he had played it might have been a different story. Great was his vocabulary— but greater his fighting spirit. JOE DARLING Left-End “Little Joe” Darling was a new man in uniform but his development was so rapid that in the first game of the season he gained recognition and was assigned the end position during the year. Darling should be a great asset for the coming season. Valuable place kicker and receiver of passes. EVERETT GETTLES Utility “Legs” “Legs” has three more years of High School football and in those years should develop into one of Wells-ton’s best football products. As utility man he saw much service during the past season and gave a remarkable account of himself. Gettles always follows the ball and has broken all records by recovering six fumbled balls in one game. FOOTBALL GAMES MARIETTA 14 WELLSTON 0 One of the big surprises of the football season came with the comparatively close score resultant of the Marietta-Wellston game, the first of the season. Wellston might have gone to the showers under defeat of 9-0 had not Marietta scored a second touchdown on an intercepted pass when Wellston was making every effort to tie the score via the aerial route in the last minute of play. ATHENS 19 WELLSTON 0 Remembering the defeats of three consecutive seasons Coach Boster early pointed his men for the encounter with that team. The chances for a W. H. S. victory looked good until Athens uncorked a flock of long passes that played havoc with the Wellston defence. OAK HILL 0 WELLSTON 12 With four regulars out of the line-up on account of injuries W. H. S. journeyed to Oak Hill to get revenge for the one point defeat of last year. The Blue and Gold scored in the earlier part of the game. At times the brick makers put up a stubborn defence. In the latter part of the game Wellston scored another touchdown leaving the score 12-0. 0! Sweet revenge! NELSONVILLE, 0 WELLSTON 31 Wellston chalked up a second neat victory when the Nelsonville team appeared here for the first at home game of the season. The visitors were completely outclassed and on no occasion threatened the home goal. Every W. H. S. reserve-man got into the battle for a taste of the going. GRANDVIEW 7 WELLSTON 19 Grandview Heights of Columbus motored to Wellston for a little “grid” party. However the entertainment was a little fast for the guests and Grandview returned to the State Capitol smarting under a 19-7 defeat. This was the game that surprised the fans. The Grandview team presented a wonderful system of football but were unable to withstand the mighty onrush of the Wellston attack. GALLIPOLIS 0 WELLSTON 14 Gallipolis came here determined to carry back home Wellston’s scalp, but had not reckoned with the sturdy quality of the Blue and Gold. It was a hard and gruelling battle. Line plunging by the visitors was the equal of anything seen in the high school circles but in forward passing, circling ends with perfect interferences, and in field generalship Wellston excelled and emerged from the game on the big end of a 14-0 score. LOGAN 6 WELLSTON 6 On a field where playing conditions were almost impossible the Blue and Gold succeeded in holding the heavier Logan team to a 6-6 tie. Wellston outplayed the opponents during the first half. Logan scored on the first play of the second half when they scooped a fumbled ball and raced for a score. — JACKSON 9 WELLSTON 7 The score stood 7-6 in Wellston’s favor with two minutes of remaining play when “bang” Jackson upset all dope buckets by placing squarely between the upright bars a beautiful drop kick. Wellston had been picked to win, but the unexpected happened and the team that triumphed over the county seat the previous year 13-0, bowed to the same team in a closer score of 9-7. Cocksureeness played -a part in the defeat of W. H. S., but the god of chance unquestionably played a bigger part. On three occasions Wellston placed the ball over the scoring mark and each time without a score. Rice with a broken nose, Dando with a broken shoulder, Darling crippled and New-land ineligible also contributed toward the poor showing for the locals. FOOTBALL TEAM 71 £ s EE - -HSE BASKETBALL Basketball made its appearance in Wellston High this year for the first time since 1917. The men were inexperienced but persistent practice accomplished wonders. There was steady development and improvement which was especially marked by successful work in return games. All were pleased with the work in the tournament at Athens. Team Cranston James (Capt.)

This year has called out a squad of twenty men, none of whom will be lost by graduation. This makes the prospects unusually bright for the season of ’25, when increasing experience and enthusiasm must place a superior team in the field.
