We may perhaps sometimes wrong have done To our teachers and lessons, too; But we'll try to do better in years to come. In the work which we start anew. Even though things sometimes may go wrong, To do our best let us try; Let us toil and succeed with a willing song, “For 'tis better to laugh than to cry.” Shall we gather rosebuds while we may, While the opportune time is at hand ? And make hay while the sun shines today. Or—let deeds slip away like sand ? Shall we go “Onward” through the. paths of Life, Securing all that which we may; And climb the ladder of fame in our strife, Or—let opportunities slip away? Now, classmen, the day has come at last When our lives must all drift apart; Remember the good times we’ve had in the past And start again with a pure, clean heart. Whatever we do, let’s do it right; And be square to all the rest; And succeed through toil with all our might, “For he profits most, who serves best.” —Fer.voi.ga I.each. o PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Friends and fellow Students: We, tin- members of the Class of 192;) extend to you a most hearty welcome to our class day exercises. It is on this day that wc have the last opportunity of speaking as a class in Wcllston High School. Wc come to tell of the past and to foretell the future as revealed by our past high sehool life, to publish our last will and testament, and to give those who have received the highest honors in scholarship an opportunity to talk to you. We have finished our high school course and some are now ready to begin life, others will go on preparing for that life, and I sincerely hope that each member of the class will attain his or her highest ambition. We have had great opportunities in a great high school, and now it is up to us to make opportunities for ourselves in the great school of life. e must push on and on until we have realized those ambitions that I am sure we all have. We are indeed grateful to all the members of the faculty for the assistance and encouragement they have given us. and to our parents through whose sacrifice wc were able to complete our studies. We trust that the Junior Class will uphold all the traditions of our high sehool. and that each member will do his best toward making YV eilston High Sehool the best in the world, as we have striven to do. We are really sorry to leave our Alma Mater but we must go on to make way for those who are waiting on the threshold, and I feel that we should go cheerfully and willingly. Again 1 wish to welcome you and to extend the best wishes of the Senior Class for your future success and happiness. Joe I)ando. President of the Class of 1925. JUNIOR RESPONSE Members of the Class of ’25 and Friends: As the representative of the Junior Class it is my privilege to extend our best wishes to the members of this elass who are soon to leave our High School. We wish them success and indeed from our three years of association with them we feel that the problems they must meet will be met with a courage that brings success. It is our hope as Juniors that we may finish our high school course with such a record as they have made. Realizing that it is our duty to uphold the traditions and standards of our school, we have also made it our aim. not merely to uphold those traditions, but if possible to raise the standards. In bidding you farewell, we. as Juniors, wish you happiness and every opportunity in your life’s work. Your motto Onward” has led you to success during your high school career, may it lead you to even greater success in future years. Rodney W. Scott, President of the ( l:,ss I !'-( • ——e— HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’25 Four short years ago last September, about one hundred backward pupils from all parts of the town came to the Old Central Building” to set sail on tbeir high school career as seamen of the lowest class. We had heard stories concerning the difficulties of life on the sea. but we were young and felt that we could stand the hard life and weather any storm that threatened. We were taken in charge by the persons who were to pilot us through the first year. We were fortunate in having a good lot of pilots and the cruise started safely. We new seamen studied Algebra, English, Biology and Latin. The first year passed without any great events in the lives of the new seamen, perhaps our most trying experience was that we were made the laughing stock of the whole crew, due to our ignorance of the new life and the fact that we were lost nearly every time we changed classes. At the end of the first year many of us found that we did not like the life of a sailor and we were sent back home; others, in a great storm, were washed overboard and were lost. The second year of the cruise all were promoted to the rank of Sophomore. Here we thought we were the whole thing, but soon discovered that we were not. This year the pilots had changed, and every one liked the new pilots. One of the interesting things this year was the battle with Caesar. Some of the sailors were lost, but we felt that we had won a great victory. During this term we felt that we should organize, and help the school along. At the end of the second year’s cruise we held a picnic to celebrate, and had a great time. The third year we resumed the voyage with our number still further diminished. This was a great year for the sailors. We were more experienced and could enjoy the' sailing. The class again organized and Joe Dando was chosen President; Franklin Wills. Vice President; Florence Handley, Secretary, and Raymond Pipe, Treasurer, and Miss Beck as advisor. The class this year had to give the Junior-Senior reception. We worked hard and in the spring gave a very delightful reception. The latter part of the spring of J92J we changed ships. We moved from the “Old Central Building” to this fine building. We were glad to move to this new building, but at the same time we were sad when we thought of the good times we had at the old one. A short time before Commencement the whole school enjoyed a picnic. We (the Juniors) w’on all of the athletic contests that were held. The following year when the voyage was taken up, of the one hundred or more that had started the voyage, some fifty-three had weathered the storm. We have been promoted to the rank of first class sailors. We feel very dignified and try to act important, but we only succeed part of the time. 'Pile class when it organized elected Joe Dando. President; Thomas Ervin, Vice President; Raymond Pope. Secretary, and Kenneth Fife. Treasurer. This year also the class undertook to publish the X-Ray. This has been the greatest year of our whole voyage, and although we are glad it is about over, we are also sad to think of the good times and the dear classmates we are leaving behind. And now that Commencement is here, we feel that we have accomplished a great deal in weathering the storm, and that we can face the world with more con- fidence. So in order to make room for new crews which arc due in September, we know’ it is our duty and our privilege to move “ONWARD.” —Tom Patterson. PROPHECY The other day I was busy at work in my downtown office, when a book agent sent in his card. I did not wish to see him, but from experience I knew the best way to get rid of an agent is to talk with him. Imagine my surprise when the boresome man proved to be none other than Robert Talbot, an old schoolmate of mine. Before Bob left I was the unwilling possessor of one of his “wonderful volumes of human knowledge, nearly 3,000 pages, and bound in half calf.” 1 had selected the volume devoted to the Alumni of Wellston High School, and I found more space given over to the class of '25 than to any other class. This may have been due to the fact that Fern Leach was the author of the book. You may recall, that she won a prize some time ago for being personally acquainted with more celebrated people than any other person in America. The author had thoughtfully dedicated the book to Claudine Talbot, without whose aid in typing, the book could never have been published. I was leafing carelessly through the book when I came upon the name Martha Baker. She used to be in my Bookkeeping class, and now she won fame for waiting a book on “Business F.tiquette.” It tells how to hire an employee, ask for a raise in salary and many other important points vital to the life of a business man or woman. Here’s Doris Bowen who has turned her artistic powers over to an advertising concern. Every billboard, magazine and movie in the country bears witness of her talent. Lucille Byers James took up a collection and went to China as a missionary. Her spare time is spent visiting the royalty, with whom she is a great favorite. Joseph Dando, the well known Welshman, who is related to a duke of something, can be found at a certain opera house any night in the week. But he goes to see the pretty girls, and not to sing. Well, Well, Joseph Darling is now pastor of the largest Methodist church in New York City and is raising his two sons in the ways of righteousness. Here is my own name, business woman, I’ll skip that— William Deal, Rudolph Valentino the Second, now residing in Paris, where he appears as leading man at one of the largest pleasure houses in the world. Paul Dennison, noted philosopher. He was the first to advance the common theory that the world is neither round nor square. He says it is crooked, and we will agree with Paul to a certain extent. Hon. Thomas Irvin, B. S., now a professor of Astronomy at Harvard. He received a platinum medal for counting the stars in the sky. Geneva Feltv, famous daredevil airplane performer, who draws a crowd wherever she goes. She is scheduled to appear in London next month. Kenneth Fife, President of the Six Night Owl Society, which has grown to be one of the most influential political parties ever organized. This club was started back in the old school days. Mary Fisher, famous woman soap-box orator, who after years of active service married a man named McGinnis, and settled down to a peaceful home life. Lowell Gettle succeeded Harold Lloyd on the silent stage, and today draws a higher salary than the president. Lowell has been married ten times, but says he is willing to try again. Girls, here’s your chance. Heber Gennieks enlisted in the Forest Reserve forces and now spends his time caring for the trees and preventing forest fires in Alaska. Clifford Martin is now an actor. He is the main attraction in the great “Swamp Root” medicine show. Elizabeth Moore, who never could get a photo to suit her, took up the study of photography and today takes her own pictures. If one wants something done well, one must do it himself. Henry McClung after nnic-li consideration joined the Salvation Army. One can see him most any day twanging Ids banjo and singing at the top of his voice. He has asked me to‘state here that he will accept all donations. Ruth McGhee finally decided to gladden the life of a Mr. Willis. Today she is much sought after because of her admirable comments on “Advice to the Love-lorn.” Dorothy Hughes was presented with a medal by a grateful public when she invented a violin that did not have to be tuned every time it was played. Mae Kelly, after suffering the life of a midget for years, at last picked up enough courage to undergo a monkey glad operation. Now today she wishes that she was short again. Hardy Kruskamp, singer of fame, has braved the dangers of the Arctic coast that he may train seals in dancing and singing, so that they may be better fitted for circus life. Audrey Lambert now lives � ' « large sugar plantation. She is building a candy factory nearby, so I guess Audrey is finding happiness in its truest form. Jennie Wills saved all the hair she had cut from her head since she was in high school and today is rapidly making a fortune selling wigs to bald headed men and women, who have not heeded Bernard Mel adden s advice. Wade Maloy married and bought a farm. He won his fame through having the largest family in the United States. Why, even in the school days Wade carried a picture of his future wife and six children, the photo being secured from a fortune teller at the county fair. Howard Wiseman, always a trifle wild, some time ago undertook to go over the Niagara Falls in a barrel. Because lie lived through it. Wisey has now undertaken a trip to Mars. Elva Graves, forsook the basket ball field and went in for prize fighting. Today he heads the list, but you would never recognize him, for he has a broken nose, is toothless, and has a cauliflower ear. Bowman Hall, always a genius at drawing, went to the Tennessee mountains and married. Today he draws water for his hard working wife. Captola Sneeedor was persuaded to marry a certain Mr. Lauscli, but one morning he put poison in her coffee and now poor Cap is only a memory. Paul Helm went all the way to Africa to prove a bet that elephants have teeth. He hasn’t returned yet. but of course Paul is always right. Ruth Herd put all the knowledge that she picked up at school together and is now running an intelligence bureau. She can tell you about anything, from how to get a husband down to the best recipe for berry pie. Raymond Howell took his knowledge of basket ball out to the reservations and now has the champion basket ball team of America composed entirely of 1 ndians. Thomas Patterson joined the president’s poison squad some years ago and is still among the living. He admits that it’s dangerous work, but that this is a tough old world and few of us get out of it alive anyway. Frank Pierpont when last heard from was promoting the fleece lined shoe string industry among the Eskimos. He says that it is more profitable than selling coal. Florence Handley went to Chicago and eloped the first week she was there. Florence says the old saying “Marry in haste and repent at leisure” is all wrong. Raymond Pope is a typical old bachelor. He owns a large apartment house in St. Louis in which only families with dogs are allowed to dwell. Garnett Roush married a certain “young” fellow and went to the West Indies to live. Garnett always said she was going South where the climate suited lier clothes. Cilenna Shcward now sings daily over various radios. She had her voice cultivated while she was at the Yellowstone National Park among the wonders of the world. I.amar Jones is now an intense student of bugology. I.amor always was a lover of nature even in his literature classes and was often heard to sav “Ain't Nature Wonderful.” Charles Smith is now a popular lecturer on the Darwin theory. He quite frequently uses his old schoolmates as proof of his ideas. But why blame it on the monkey? Everett Steecc hoboed his way to Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone and so bring luck to himself. He, too, is still on his way. so we can’t tell as to the wisdom of his undertaking. Glendon Welsh, who was always trying to do something no one else would do. tried to construct a floating bridge across the Atlantic Ocean. And the aston- ishing part is; he succeeded. Franklin Wills and a few followers went on a crusade to the Everglades of Florida. They think now that the swamps are being drained, they can perhaps find the long sought for fountain of youth. Jennie I.ee, always an ambitious lass, has just finished rewriting the dictionary. She says Webster’s opinions on pronunciations and definitions are “so passe.” Marie Manring, on the death of Captola Snecedor, received a large share of the famous Drake estate over in England. Marie says the estate is even larger than Captola used to say it was in Civics class. Uuth Marks is now an author of fame, her latest and best work is entitled “The Clothing Store Sheik.” Rachel Woodruff, always of an inventive turn of mind, recently invented an electric tooth brusher. She has sent it in to Washington and applied for a patent. Arthur Worthcn always said he would rise in the world. One day while experimenting in the National Laboratory lie got his chemicals mixed and rose, lie didn't even leave a greasy spot. Florence Taylor ran off one day with her father’s chauffeur and hasn’t been heard from since. Her photo was published throughout the country, along with her description, hut all in vain. Her parents have given her up as a hopeless ease. Charles Mincks comes next in this brilliant list of characters. He was so fond of hilling and cooing that he was captured and put in a cage at a zoo. He is labeled “World’s Greatest Love Bird.” Paul (jetties is now a Congressman and stands a good chance of becoming president next term. What say, let s all vote for him! Helen Hudson, who ends these celebrities, is the head of a rising concern. Shi' sells thousands of dollars worth of yeast foam every year. If there be any resentment on account of this premature prophecy, remember that today the eleventh day of May, the June Magazines are ready for the press, if not already in the hands of the subscribers. We know that the styles for December and January are being designed, some models completed by the Parisian Modists. Then, why not this early edition of the future of the class of '25? Yet we have a little advantage over the styles and magazines. They must go out to the world and suffer rejection if not satisfactory. We have a chance at retaliation. A spirit of retaliation which might here be named inspiration was aroused in me by a little poem found at the end of my newly bought book, “Nothing But the Best.” WILL OF CLASS OF ’25 We, the Class of '25 of Wellston High School of the city of Wellston, of the county of Jackson and State of Ohio, being of sound mind and memory and with a good education, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills by us heretofore made. Item 1. We hereby give to the Freshmen our class spirit and hope that they shall be as true in this respect as the class of '25. Item 2. To the Sophomores we give our surplus knowledge of any subject with the hope that with such help they will be able to meet the requirements of Wellston High. Item 3. And to thq Juniors we leave the name Seniors of Wellston High, with the special request that it be respected as the Seniors of the past and present have respected it. Item 4. Heber Ginnicks and William Deal leave their Jonathan and David affection for each other to Eugene Irvin and Robert Price. Item 5. Lucile Byers gives her unerring ways to Mary Morgan. Item 6. To James Patrick, Joe Dando bequeaths his “ways with the women and who we are sure will not trespass on another’s rights. Item 7. Elva Graves leaves liis basket ball talent, and Harold Kruskamp his football talent to Arthur Lockard and Robert Stephson respectively. Item 8. Thomas Ervin leaves his A’s to Everett Gettles who is sadly in need of them. Item 9. To Rodney Scott, the Junior President, Glendon Welch leaves his cheerful way and means of charming Miss George. Item 10. Doris Bowen generously donates her peroxide hair to Evelyn Collier, the fascinating Junior. Item 11. Claudine Talbott leaves her “Bart” to Virginia Nutt, who is always looking for a man. Item 12. Captola Snedicor leaves Mr. Lausch to the students of this school, who may be more successful than she in managing him. Item 13. To Lucille Harper, Garnet Roush leaves her charming and slender figure. Item 14. Jennie Wills, Geneva Felty, Martha Baker, and Mae Kelly, the four dignified Seniors bequeath their dignity and quietness to Alene W ills, Robin Campbell, Claudine Hudson, and Ruth Melvin. Item 15. Lowell Gettles and Robert Talbott leave their thorough knowledge of Spanish to Kenneth Rutherford and Barton Baumgardner. Item 16. And last, but not least, the Senior Class of '25 leave to their classmates and friends of Wellston High their best wishes and hope them success in their high school work. The Class of '25. Signed and acknowledged by the said Class of '25, as and for their last will and testament in our presence, and by us subscribed as attesting witnesses in their presence and at their request and in the presence of each other, this 11th day of May, A.

Hail to thee! dear Wellston High School, You were made by our own hand; To live and learn and struggle for thee Were the efforts of our band. Chorus We are the class of twenty-five. “Onward” our motto, you see. And the colors protected by us Are old rose and ivory. Ever true to thee we’ll be. As ever onward we are going; Never will our thoughts leave thee. Fare thee well, dear Wellston High School. Alma Mater, long our home; May it be we ne’er forget you. Even though we far may roam. You have known our joys and sorrows, Known our happy times and true, When in after years we’re scattered Oft in thought we’ll turn to you.

In '23 we were one hundred and twenty-five bright and eager students, full of pep” and “go.” We were the first Freshman class of Wellston High School to organize by electing Edna Plummer, President; Francis Hartley, Vice President; Kenneth Rutherford, Treasurer, and Alvaretta Callahan, Secretary. Our number was further increased, October 23. by the advent of twenty-two “Fresh Freshies,” who were moved up from the grade schools. So we had our turn at laughing at Freshies getting lost, and their blank wanderings over the building, while we were still Freshies. Nevertheless, their intelligence and high spirits have added much to the activity of our class throughout our school life. We started our Sophomore year with one hundred and ten members. As our officers for this year, we chose Edward Cartwright, President; Rodney Scott, Vice President; Mary Rice, Secretary, and Kenneth Rutherford. Treasurer. Again our class entered into the school spirit with vim and vigor and began to earn an enviable reputation. In this year W. H. S. began to show more interest in interclass activities and the classes began to be heard from in mental contests as well as (-ontests in sports. This year marked the first annual picnic and the “Sophs” gave the “Freshies” an early spring “dip.” Only eighty-four of our number came back for the Junior year. With Miss George as advisor, Rodney Scott, President; Jack Sellers, Vice President; Margaret Scott, Secretary, and Mary Rice, Treasurer, we worked together to make the Junior-Senior a great success. The Junior class of '25 has many active members in school activities. Over half of the members of the girl’s basket ball team, the debating team and the honor roll for the year are Juniors. We are actively represented, as well, in plays, the operetta, glee clubs, orchestra, literary societies, and all branches of athletics. We feel that we will he just as active and interested as Seniors, as we have 'shown ourselves in the past three years we have attended W. H. S. —Alvaretta Callahan.

But we are striving to make up for this deficiency by efficiency. Our class is made up of average pupils, with a fair amount of talent, some taking part in athletics, literary work, dramatic art, and music. We have been organized only a few months, with the following officers elected: President, Donald Leach; Vice President, Howard Jenkins; Secretary-Trasurer, Minnie Mossman. and Mrs. Reese, faculty advisor. .From our small number we have contributed one to the honor roll, of whom we are very proud. We find our studies hard, and it takes a great amount of work to master them, especially Caesar, which has caused many cases of C sickness, and some of us have even suffered a sudden I)” dine, but on the average we are all making fair grades, and we think we are capable of emerging mto first class Juniors. We are looking forward to that time, and hope that in the coming years our influence may be felt. Although we are the smallest class, we may by pluck and grit become the mightiest. We hope to yet make W. H. proud of the class of '27. —Myra Kelley.

We were placed in the auditorium where we waited with many forebodings. The Freshmen were assigned for assembly to rooms 101, 200. and 207. Subjects compulsory for Freshmen were: English, General Science, Occupa-tions-Civics (boys) and Hygiene-Civics (girls). The new Manual Training course drew the greatest number of any of the electives. A good number also enrolled in Latin, Algebra, etc. After going through a troublesome period of initiation at the hands of the upper classmen,' we became a part of the school. Somewhat later in the year, the class called together for the purpose of organizing. The following officers were elected: President, Keith Fife; Vice Presi- dent, Ruth Melvin; Secretary and Treasurer, Donald Ervin. Mr. Boster was chosen as faculty advisor. The Freshmen produced several good athletic teams during the year, and took a great interest in other school activities. And we have reason to hope that when we have served our term of four years in high school we, as the Class of ’28, shall in every respect prove the equal of other classes going out from W. II.

Her sweetheart, Hilly Woods, has smuggled her a note in a hox of candy, in which he tells her of his plan to see her. He later writes a second note, changing his plans, and this note is received by Miss Primer instead of Dorothy. It reads that Hilly and his friends will come as pirates and capture the school. Just as Miss Primer reads the note, the real pirates capture her. She quickly tells them of their mistake, as the guns of the school are trained on the spot and will be discharged if she screams. They heg for mercy, and as Miss Primer needs “cooks,” she gives them all aprons and sets them to work. The following incidents develop in an amusing way. Billy comes alone, and is captured by Miss Primer’s “cooks.” He escapes from them and goes after soldiers, as he knows they are real pirates. Miss Primer still thinks they are Hilly’s friends. In the meantime, the Pirate Chief falls in love with Miss Primer. Then Hilly comes back with the soldiers, who seize the cooks”,—except the Chief, who is willing to forsake his wild career for a more quiet life with Miss Primer. And Dorothy is at last freed from her uninteresting life at the school, and goes back to her beloved U. S. A., which seems more wonderful than ever before, probably because she goes back with her sweetheart. Hilly. o Coach Mustek DKl.llERT K. MOST Kit Mr. Hosier lias been Coach and Athletic Director at Wellston for three years, which is in itself a sufficient recommendation, and he has shown real ability in developing the material under his management. He is an unusually fine leader; he develops a clean cut type of athletics and sense of sportsmanship. Above all. he knows how to win and keep the good will of the members of the teams and to inspire real team work among his boys. HAROLD “HARDY” KRUSKAM1 Hardy has some of the greatest natural abilities as a football player, and is among the best that V. H. S. has turned out. Hardy has been a member of Y. H. S. football teams for four years and has made several All South Eastern teams. He is a Senior and doubtless will be heard of in eollege athletics. JOE “IRONMAN” JOSEPH Joe plays guard in a splendid fashion, and for his reward his team elected him Captain of the 1925 team at the annual football banquet given at the Hogan Hotel by the Rotary Club. The team will be built more or less around Joseph. o GLENDON “THE BOY” WELSH Glendon is a real manager—a go-getter type. He lias been managing for two years all the athletics in W. H. S.. and lie lias done it in fine style. Glendon is a Senior and his going will leave a vacancy that will he hard to fill. RAYMOND “RAY” POPE This is Ray’s first year on the team, although he is a Senior. Rut in spite of the late entry to the gridiron. he showed some great ability as a football player, ft is to be regretted that Pope’s football career did not begin sooner. Ray played fullback and will be greatly missed next season. BARTON “BART” BAUMGARTNER Hart is an example of a good, fast, little man. With a little more interest and study of the game, he would be a great elusive halfback. Bart is a Junior and great things are expected of him on the 1925 team. JOK “DOC” DANDO Doc- takes care of the quarter position, and lie is well fitted for his joh. Not only in brain work, but plunging and running as well. This is Doc’s last year and in four years he has missed only one game, which is a mighty good record. Doe will attend college and V. H. S. expects him to make a name for himself in eollejre football. IRANK PIER PON T Frank has been a member of W. H. S. team for two years. lie plays center and is considered among the best in southeastern Ohio. Frank is a Senior and therefore this is his last year. His position will be hard to fill on the 1925 team. Art was the versatile player of the team, playing end, half, and quarter. Not having much experience and being very light, he did not get a chance to start the game, but when he was called on he did his part. The fact that Arthur is a Senior will prevent his further development as a W. H. S. player. ARTHUR “ART” WORTHEN JOE DARLING Joe plays end position, which he has played for several seasons, thus accounting for his great playing the last year. Joe is great at breaking up end runs and receiving passes. He is a Senior and XV. H. S. has seen him perform on the gridiron for the last time. ORVILLE HOWELL Orville is another example of a good, little man. He plays end, but sometimes is called to the backfield. There he shows some football genius, but it is on end that he shows his real football ability, as he is exceptionally good at receiving passes. HENRY “HEX McCLUXG “Hen” is one of the greatest offensive players that W. H. S. has been on tackle position for some time; he never fails to open a hole. “Hen” has been placed on W. E. Thomas’ All Eleven team for two years. As this is his last year, he will lx greatly missed on future W. H. S. teams. ROBERT “FIRPO” STEVESON Bob is a buddy to Captain-elect Joseph, and he is a good match for him. Bob is the giant of the team, weighing about 225 pounds, and he makes use of his weight. At times Bob is non-passable. He is a Junior nnd he will be one of the main cogs in the VV. H. S. machine in 1925. EVERETT “LEGS” GETTLES “Legs” is a great line man, playing during the year in both tackle and guard positions. He would probably have been regular on one position if he had not been shifted so much to take the place of other players who had been injured. “Legs” is a Sophomore and will be a great addition to the team during the next two years. HAROLD PRIVATE” NEWLAND Harold is one of these great defensive line men. outplaying almost everybody he played against this year. He displayed this ability even though he played under a handicap all year, as he got hurt in the earlier part of the season. Harold will not be in next season’s line-up. Joe Dando Arthur Worthen Harold Kruskamp Raymond Pope Barton Baumgartner Charles Mincks H enry Griffis Orville Howell Henry McClung Joe Joseph Frank Pierpont Robert Stephenson Everett Gettles Joe Darling The football years. The fact three letter men left vacant made season in W. H. S. opened in 1924 looking the best it had in that the graduation of the Class of ’24 had taken away only and that more than that number entered to fill the positions it a strong contender for the southeastern championship. = RIO GRANDE 6; W. H. S. 0 The season opened with Rio Grande on the latter's ground. As the boys were all anxious to get the football season started, they went to Rio Grande despite the rain that had fallen all day. The boys held the Rio Grande College Varsity to a score of 6 to 0. This close score made the season look even more promising. LANCASTER 13; W. H. S. 34 The week following the game with Rio Grande the team went to Lancaster expecting a hard battle, but Lancaster proved no match for the W. H. S. smashing eleven. The outcome was Wellston on the long end of the score of 31 to 13. GALLIPOLLS (5; W. H. S. 0 The third game of the season was with Gallipolis. The team seemed to have a jinx following it, for having been crippled in practice, we were beaten by a team not really our superior. The score stood (i to 0. NELSONVILLE ; W. H. S. 7 The next week the team motored to Nelsonville. The latter was thirsty to revenge the defeat of the previous year so a hard battle took place, but Wellston came out with a victory of 7 to 6. AQUINAS 13; W. H. S. 10 The first home game of the season was played with the Aquinas of Columbus. As this was the first home game everybody was keyed up to the highest pitch. The result was one of the best games ever played by W. H. S., Aquinas had a better team and the breaks, so they were victorious. Score 13 to 10. MARIETTA I( ; W. H. S. 7 Then came the week for the team to go to Marietta; unfortunately, we had to go without the services of two star regulars. The team put up a great battle, greater than the score might indicate, but W. H. S. lost the fourth game of the season to the score of 1 ( to 7. MASS I LON 73; W. H. S. 0 The following week not being successful in scheduling a game elsewhere, although realizing they were leaving their territory and class, the team went to Massilon where they were badly beaten. It was an interesting experience, even though the score ended 73 to 0. PORTSMOUTH (i; W. H. S. 0 The next and final game was with Portsmouth. The squad had dwindled to thirteen men. They played a great game, but Portsmouth defeated them to the score of ( to 0. This wound up the season for W. H. S. 1 his game also ended the school football career of many star performers. I liev were, C aptain Krusk Joe Dando, Itov Gehring, Harold Newland. Hen McC lung, Joe Darling, I-ran Pierpont, Orville Howell, Raymond Pope and ( liarles Mincks. high amp. BASKET BALE KLVA “HAM” GRAVES Elva lias great natural ability as a basket ball player. The boys showed their appreciation of him by electing him Captain of the 1925 squad. “Ham” is a Senior, so this will he his last year. HOWARD WHIZ WISEMAN “Whiz” is the kind of player you like to see play. He moves around and handles the hall to perfection. “Whiz” is a forward and when “right” is hard to beat. This is his last year. HAROLD “HARDY” KRLSKAMP Hardy” plays running guard. He is a good floor man, and puts plenty of fight into a game. Hardy, being a Senior, this will be his last year on the team. JACK SELLERS Jack plays stationary guard, he is a slow hut sure player and is the only one of the squad to be placed on an all tournament team. Jack is a Junior and he has great prospects of being a future star. RAYMOND “RAY” HOWELL Ray is one of those players that is sure to make something happen if he is turned loose. Ray plays forward. He is a Senior, and will be greatly missed on the 1920 team. FRANKLIN “FRANK WILLS Frank is another one of those players that makes the game interesting. He fights all the time. He can play either guard or forward. This is also Frank’s last year. MAX MORROW Max is one of those long dead shots. Max plays both guard and forward. He is one of the Juniors around whom the team will be built next year. More power to Max. Max Mokhow Raymond Howkll Harold Kruskamp Fly a Grayes Jack Sellers Franklin Wills Howard Wiseman Wade Malloy Pai’l Gettles James Moore KVERETT (jETTLES William Kelley Donald Wortman Keith Fife Carlton Brooks Willard Willis William Patrick Hiram Callahan James Gooding The past two years only has Basket Ball been on the Athletie program of W. H. S. For five years previous it was absent from the sports of High School. The boys are still green at the game, although they dared to play veteran teams who gave them some very hard battles; sometimes they managed to win from us by some small scores, sometimes by large ones. It takes years to develop Basket Ball teams and players, so W. II. S. will make a showing in later years in Basket Ball circles. The fact that the younger students now have an excellent floor for practice gives them a distinct advantage over the outgoing team. M A R G A R E T S COT T—('apt a in Margaret has natural ability as a Basket Ball player, and made center on the second all tournament team. “Scotty” is a Junior and will be heard from next year. K ARLE N E DA VIS—“Karly” Karlene displayed much ability in shooting. Her success in this respect did much to help the girls win the tournament. She has also made the first all tournament team. CLAUDINE HUDSON Claudine was considered the best guard at the tournament, and made the first all tournament team. She is a Freshman and will be a great asset to the teams during the next three years. ' CAPTOLA SXEDECOR—“Cap “Cap,” a utility forward, is a Senior, and will not be playing with W. H. S. next season. MYRA KELLY Myra plays a good brand of ball, but needs a little more speed. We expect her to develop into a good guard. ADA MERLE DAVIS—''‘lions” “Boss” is a Sophomore and -great things arc expected of her in the next two rears. L UCI I,E E B E R TS—' Jackie “Jackie” also plays guard. She was placed on the second all tournament team. MARY KATHERINE ZIMMERMAN Mary plays a good brand of ball but lacks shooting ability. She is worthy of honorable mention and will be beard from next year. ALVA R ETTA CALL A HA N—“A I” Alvaretta was utility for both guard and forward. On account of size she could scarcely compete with the larger girls. “Al” is a Junior and will be good material for next year. Tlic Basket Ball Tournament held in Wellston was one of the High School's biff athletic successes. Competing in this tournament were nine boys’ teams and five ffirls’ teams, representing various high schools in Southeastern Ohio. The fact that the V. H. S. lost the first game did not seem to weaken the enthusiasm-of the event, hut the “tight to the finish” spirit invaded the girls who succeeded in carrying off the1 cup. The girls deserve much credit for their success and well deserve the praise they received from the townspeople as well as from the school. They were considered handicapped from lack of experience as Girls' Basket Ball was not really established in V. H. S. until this year. During the two days of the tournament the auditorium was filled to capacity and a courteous, sportsmanlike manner was present at all times. The entire event was an honor to our High School, and we expect the girls to hold the cup until they have permanent ownership. Three cheers for the Girls' Basket Ball Team. Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! BASE BALI This season will be the fourth chapter of baseball history in Wellston and should be a chapter full of interest and achievement; a fitting climax to the earlier chapters of only mediocre success. For the most part the team is the same as that of last year, and with reenforced pitching and improved batting work the team can be figured as a pennant contender, and will give the other clubs much to worry about. Captain Graves will again work around the pivot bag. He is also fast and sure on fielding work, with a good arm and batting eye. Ginnicks, catcher, and Rutherford, pitcher, will form the battery for the season and will make play fast at home plate. Rutherford has a splendid delivery and Ginnicks a sure pocket and a lot of pep. Hart, first base; Darling, shortstop, and Patterson, third base, will probably complete the infield line-up. all with experience. Hart must be rated as one of the cleverest baseball men in high school circles. Helm, right field; O. Howell, center field, and Deal, left field, will cavort in the outer garden and should give local fans no concern with outfield worries. All are also heavy hitters and will bolster that department. Warren Hart will be on the lines ready to relieve any player at any time, being equally proficient in outfield and infield work. o TRACK It was as late as 1923 that Track was installed as one of the major sports in Wellston High School, but since its inauguration, its progress has been phenomenal. The team of 23 won the county meet, placed third in divisional state meet, and qualified men for state meet. In ’21 W. H. S. Track placed third in Tri State meet, third in Southeastern meet, second in Hocking Valley meet, and won medals in the State meet. With the development of a distance runner and a hurdler the team this year should be much stronger than that of previous years. Wellston is particularly fortunate this year in bringing here the first Track and Field meet of the newly organized Southeastern Ohio Athletic League. Portsmouth, I ronton, Athens, Logan, Jackson, Nelsonville, Gallipolis and Wellston will participate here on May 2nd in one of the biggest meets in Southern Ohio. With Krusk'amp, Stevenson, and Howell on the weight and field events, and Dando, Baumgartner and Davis in the Track event, the Blue and Gold pennant will be flying near the top in the 1925 schedule.

It Is Now Donk. jziifBnoj pvy O Since Man First Learned To Shear a Sheep —and spin the fleece into yarn and weave the yarn into cloth, and make the cloth into a garment, there have been all kinds of clothing makers, good, bad and indifferent, including the kind that have a hankering after the “wool” that grows in a cotton field. But in all times and at all seasons the work of the men and organizations that excel in this line is bound to prove itself, bound to win the recognition to which excellence is entitled. From its very inception The E. E. Chambers Company has “hitched its wagon to a star” in the matter of quality. In living up to that standard it has to be very discriminatory as to the “lines” of clothing it sells, and the test of every suit admitted here is—does it excel at the price? DEAR MR.
