We have our ladder builded strong; We’ve struggled hard to make it. When pointed right, and settled tight, ”T will take great force to break it. We’ll hold fond memories of school, Of troubles, loves and laughter; We never shall the past regret, But will the present master! From here we start out into life; We now must pass life’s tests. “Not on the heights, but climbing” But at last we’ll find success! —Nelson E. Wykle. • 1926 MM Wff5 RODNEY V.

L 1926 7 !xM5 CLASS SONG Through the last four years we have worked together Yes, worked and reveled, too. The friends we’ve made, we’ll ne’er forget, For they were staunch and true. We will think of the joys they have brought to us. And remember each one with a smile, But the brightest of all the glories, Are the things we have learned worth while. Goodbye to dear old Wellston! We leave you now forever. But we’ll remember always Our dear fair school, When our own ship comes sailing. Hark! voices you’ll catch bailing. Hailing our Alma-Mater Dear old Wellston High. But now it’s goodbye to dear old Wellston, Who’s sheltered us four long years, ’Tis not without sorrow we leave it today, Although we shed no tears. When health and success shall have crowned us. And time in its swiftness shall fly, For thoughts shall perchance flutter backwards, To the time when we told it goodbye. Chorus: —Lucille Eberts. 7 urns SENIOR CLASS HISTORY IN SEPTEMBER, 1922, one hundred and twenty-five pupils, who had been lor eight years in the training camps known as the grade schools, met on the battlefield of the Central High School to battle with the powerful enemy Ignorance. Under able commanders, we at once launched forth on a campaign. The first year, organized under the name of Freshmen, we elected as officers: Edna Plummer, President; Francis Hartley, Vice-President; Kenneth Rutherford, Treasurer, and Alvaretta Callahan, Secretary. In October of the same year, our ranks were strengthened by the addition of twenty-two pupils from the eighth grade. With these able reinforcements we were better able to struggle with Algebra, Latin, English and History. After nearly a year of fierce encounters with the enemy, hostilities were ceased until the next year, and the entire army enjoyed a short vacation. September, 1923, the battle was renewed. We were now fighting in the rank of Sophomores. Some of our members failed to report for duty because of various reasons, and our ranks were now thinned down to one hundred and ten. We organized this year with Edward Cartwright, President; Rodney Scott, Vice-President; Mary Rice, Secretary, and Kenneth Rutherford, Treasurer. We found the enemy even stronger than ever, and harder obstacles wer placed in our way. The scene of the battle changed at the middle of the term from Central High to the new high school where we found conditions much more favorable for our contest. In the Spring, lighting was again stopped for a while and we all celebrated with the first annual high school picnic. At the beginning of the third year as Juniors, eighty-four answered the roll call, and although with decreased numbers, we continued to live up to our former reputation. We organized this year with Rodney Scott, President; Jack Sellers, Vice-President; Margaret Scott, Secretary, and Mary Rice, Treasurer. As a reward for faithful service and work well done, our members composed a large majority of the honor roll and we also placed representatives in all activities. This year ended with a second annual picnic which was as great a success as the first, although it ended somewhat disastrously for the Juniors. In September, 1925, seventy-six in number, we assembled for our last year in Wellston High School. With the exception that Max Morrow was elected Vice-President, we re-elected the same officers who had served us so well when Juniors. We at once took up the duties falling to those who have attained this important position in school life, and decided to publish the fourth annual edition of the X-Ray. We again composed the majority of the Honor Roll and took our part in all the school activities. Now, as we are about to leave our high school life behind us forever, I think wt can justly look back with pride at our record. We have the largest class that has ever yet graduated from Wellston High School, and official records show that we have quality as well as quantity. We have fought valiantly. We have won our share of success. We are Not on the Heights, but Climbing,” and we hope to go forth and conquer the greater difficulties of life. —Edward Cartwright. L 7 WHS CLASS PROPHECY “Come forth! Come forth! Oh witches three, Explain to the Seniors their fate to he.” First Witch: “When shall these Seniors meet again In thunder, lightning, or in rain?” Second Witch: “When all life’s battles are won, They will meet ere the set of sun.” Third Witch: “But where the place?” First Witch: “In this auditorium, they will come When their life’s battles have been won. “But, oh witches three, You have been summoned to foretell The fate of Seniors.

I am sure that all the Seniors will see Whatever their lot in the future may be, That in themselves and not in the stars Lies their destiny.” —Mary Rice. L 7 1926 WHS STATISTICS S-T-A-T-I-S-T-I-C-S- st-sta-stat- statistics!! There I knew I could say it! Statistics, the most difficult word to pronounce in the English language. I don’t suppose that more than lifty-three percent of the seniors can say it. You think this information quite startling, but I am not presenting the seniors as an ideal class, but just as we have learned to know one another in the time we have been together. We seniors are seventy-six in number. Our motto “Not on the Heights, but Climbing.” Our colors Green and White. Our colors suggest that we are artistic. Our motto indicates that we are ambitious, and our number proves that we arc —not will be -great. But please know that these are only general virtues, qualities applicable to the class, yes,—as class. As individuals we possess innumerable virtues—or faults which ever you choose to call them—for you know virtue in one may be fault in another. But what about this? Seventy-six and eight seventeenths percent (7(18 17%) of the honor students for the semester ending January 15th were seniors. Please remember that what ever information may be forthcoming. As 1 have said our motto indicates that we are ambitious. Like most seniors we are anxious to set the world on lire with our accomplishments. Nevertheless we are probably the first class to be fully equipped for such inflammable work. Would you know how such equipment is provided? Well, within our midst is the T. N. T. Club. The T. N. T. members are: Mary “Kay” Zimmerman, Gertrude Tisch, Virginia Nutt, Katherine Deckard, Margaret Scott, Betty Dando and Marian Poore. Can you imagine a group more fiery, more spontaneous, more dynamic, more,—more—well I can’t remember what those other big words were. Fifty-per-cent of the Hi-Y members are seniors. These persons are: Rodney Scott, Edward Cartwright, Max Morrow, James Patrick, and Nelson Wykle. For a time we thought Nelson was trying to qualify for the T. N. T. club since he used so much gasoline, but we afterwards learned that he used it for frequent trips out West Broadway. The personnel of this year’s football team includes many seniors. Among these are: Frank Potts, Glendon Bryan, Barton Baumgartner, James Moore, Joe Joseph, William Angel, Charles Potts, Edmund Davis, Robert Stephenson and Jack Dewitte. I am sorry to say that one of this number has been practicing deceit for years—Jack Dewitte. His real name is not Jack at all, but Norman. I think I said at the beginning that aside from qualities belonging to the class as a whole, the various individuals are possessed of certain traits which cannot truthfully be said to belong to the entire class. Now, when it comes to talking Catherine Hunter cannot be surpassed. With some people “Silence is Golden, but with Catherine it’s impossible. In contrast the class have some silent members. One would almost have to draw straws to see who speaks least—Wayne Phillips, Edwin Fennel or Gerald McKeever. Jack Sellers was formerly considered the most silent senior until the morning when he mustered up enough courage to teach geometry. Surprised? I guess we were! At one time Dorothy Braley might have been included in this group, hut during the past year she has developed a most loquacious habit, and now by careful computation she talks more in one afternoon than she did formerly in one semester. The reason for such a change is not known unless it’s Dorothy’s interest in “science.” Indeed we have experts in almost any line. Alvaretta Callahan excels in typing. Ruth Ziegler is our champion ticket seller. Byron James has already begun a career which promises to be as brilliant as that of Benjamin hranklin. Dan Stewart is a law observer. He simply refuses to exceed the speed limit. As a result, he has never been tardy more than five mornings a week. George McKinnis does not possess such remarkable personal ability, but he does have a remarkable car. It is not an uncommon sight to see George driving f- c 7 Wff5 up and down Pennsylvania Avenue with at least twelve or fifteen in his Ford, which has well earned its title of “The Shenandoah.” I would like to mention Lucile Eberts’ talents hut—you should all know Lucile. Then there is Grace Bellomy. They say Grace has never been to sea, but she does resemble a sailor, for she has a “man in every port.” When the members of the debating team went to Ironton, the first person they encountered was a young man inquiring for Grace Bellomy. The members of our class have the same social inclinations common to other classes and in the four years of High School many close friendships have been formed. When we call for the grand march we can name certain pairs who are sure to be there. For example there are Viola Harrison and Pauline Hicks the Mike and Ike of the class; Anna Aberts and Laura Kirby—the long and short of it. Dorthy Thompson and Helen Lewis. The friendship of these girls is a direct contradiction to the psychological assertion that close friends are of opposite types, for at least in their mass of brown curly hair they are very similar. Ruth Goodrich and Evelyn Pittenger are two demure maids. Marguerite Dennison and Charleen Hudson, independent thinkers. Mildred Inboden and Lyda King certainly have one common characteristic. “With maiden charms they’re so en-endowed, that with them the swains all tarry.” I should mention Lola Jonas and Catherine Ziegler since they hold the record of being the fastest walkers in the class. Time from the school-building to their West side homes—two minutes and forty-five seconds. Dorothy Phillips is never seen unless in company with her aunt Frances Hartley, Mary Rice and Luella Morgan, both living in the North End, are usually together, and it is said that only once during the past four years has Evelyn Collier been seen without Freda Craggs. Doubtless in the past some of our members have been misunderstood or not understood. Now Sanford Lee usually appears to be very energetic and wideawake. However, he slept so soundly one day in algebra class that we could not continue the recitation. Now there’s Edna Plummer. To most people Edna seems to be a serious minded person who aspires to be a great musician. This is a false impression for Edna’s real ambition is to learn the Charleston. Lawrence Townsend was out of school for several days a few weeks ago on account of a black eye. We think he must have been misunderstood. Occasionally we find a student who may be influenced if only in a slight degree by his class work. Dale Aleshire, Ruth Kriebel, Emma Bierhup, and Alice Mae Hudson are planning to locate in Spain. They will probably lose their identity as Americans. Dale, on account of her dashing brunette beauty—the others by reasons of their fluency in the language. It is said that Carl Winkler became so fascinated with the Spanish language that he remained until four o’clock on several evenings in order that his knowledge of this subject might be more complete. Florence Reynolds and Nellie Fisher will probably spend the latter years of their life in France as a result of their interest in French. Helen Colley, better known as “Klass,” is especially interested in science. Helen possesses a remarkable way. She has a way of her own even in driving a ford. Our girls are much the same as other girls, our boys as other boys, with the occasional exception proving the rule. Our girls all have bobbed hair, the excep- 7 1926 W f5 tion being Lucille Norris. The girls claim if they estimate the time saved at ten minutes per day that each girl has saved thirty-six hours during the school year by this method of dressing the hair. Ninety-two percent of the girls carry vanity cases. Helen Manring, exception though she is, has never appeared with one. On the other hand, Bernice Edwards has never appeared in public without a vanity case, and that in use, too. The boys have also kept up to the minute in styles. Three-fourths of those bright hued sweaters that have been so fashionable in school have been displayed by the senior boys. Unfortunately some of our number have secret cares that should be saved for the less fortunate. Fred Brooks is constantly haunted by the fear that his present popularity with the girls will not continue. Bessie Reed has found it necessary to make a collection of photographs. She hopes it to be the largest in the world. Marcena’s Deal's one aim in life is to acquire Height. Chessman Higgins as early as the eighth grade drew up plans for a radio receiving set. He is now no doubt aspiring to the erection of a broadcasting station. Lawrence Corn hopes some day to own a library which is composed only of “The Literary Digest” and “Popular Science.” Lest I may have appeared too ambitious for our class, I shall confess one of our faults—or virtues which ever you choose to call it—one which I think applies to every member of the class—we chew gum regularly and systematically. Wrigley’s Spearmint comes first in popularity while Teaberry is a close second. —Oh! No! we are not paid for advertising it, but if any of you are called upon to buy a last minute graduation present, I’m sure a box of gum would not be refused. Now I’m sure if you could tell what I said and what I meant when I said it, then by this time you know the traits of our class. You may have expected when I suggested that our number stands for fame, our motto for ambition, and our colors for artistry that I would group our qualities accordingly, hut 1 have not. I have jumbled them purposely to avoid arguments. Some say the vanity case stands for an artistic temperament, others—ambition. So arguments might arise which could not be settled by this class before we receive our honorable discharge this evening and depart from the protection of our Alma Matier—Wellston High School, into the world outside. Catherine Ziegler. I J !xM5 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Friends and Fellow Students: We, the members of the Class of 192(5, have finished our high school course. It is on this day, at the (’.lass Day Exercises, that the Seniors have the last opportunity of speaking as a class of Wcllston High School. It is on this day that the history of our class is related, that our future is foretold, our last will and testament is given. The day on which those who have attained highest scholastic honors are given the opportunity of speaking to you. To the faculty who have given us assistance in our high school years and to our parents, through whose sacrifices we have been able to complete our studies, we are indeed grateful. We have had opportunities given us in the past, and it is now the duty of each and everyone of us to make opportunities for ourselves. The duty of the Junior Class is to uphold the standards and traditions of our school, and we trust each member of that class will do his utmost toward making Wellston High School the best, as we, the members of the Senior Class, have striven to do. I wish to welcome you and extend to you the best wishes of the Senior Class of 1926, for your future success and Jiappiness. Rodney W. Scott, President Senior Class. JUNIOR RESPONSE Members of the Class of 1926 and Friends: As representative of the Class of 1927, I extend best wishes to the Class of ’26. We have been in association with you the past three years and we as underclassmen are willing to acknowledge that we have profited from that association. You have reached your goal set for 1926. We hope to reach that same goal one year from now. You have set before us a high standard. We intend to reach it. We hope to exceed it. In bidding you farewell we, the Juniors, wish you the truest success and the greatest happiness that life can give. Since your class is the largest class to leave Wellston High School, may you by your courage and sacrifice make it the best. Donald Leach, President of the Class of ’27. z 7 1926 ■■n Wtf5 CLASS WILL TO all concerned: Your attention is invited While the Senior Class Will is publicly recited: We are the Seniors of Old Wellston High Of sound mind and mem’ry, and we do swear hereby That this is the last Testament, Will and Edict, And we revoke all others, which with it do conflict. To the School Board the building we grant in fact, Though marred and disfigured it still is intact; We’re thankful our passage it has survived so well, For many a good story its old walls could tell; And perhaps if our teachers each little thing knew, Those who could finish indeed would be few. Upon the Juniors our dignity we hereby bestow To be held in their keeping for a year or so. To the Sophies we give our swear vtords profane, The championship surely with them will remain. To Presides we leave our sympathies galore, For they will need it when they reach year four. And now to another, each individual student Leaves something useful, foolish, or impudent.

Jack Sellers, the handsomest boy in the class, Leaves his heart to a certain Junior lass. Ed Davis bestows his all southeastern end Upon Oralace Lavender to hold and defend; And our manager Patrick, called Jim for short, Leaves his surplus pep to Newell Hart. To Miss Myra Kelly, Virginia Nutt leaves Dan Cupid, With the thoughtful warning that lie’s awfully stupid. Misses Edwards and Pittenger, the ladies sedate, Leave to Mary Morgan their quiet estate. Lawrence Townsend who hails from Pilgy’s Knob Wills his love for Glenora to Huntley, Bob. Evelyn Collier, the sweet girl graduate, Leaves Phyllis Williams her active estate. Lola Jonas wills Mildred Hayburn her typewriting speed; Charlene Hudson and Helen Lewis, the same to Evelyn Reed. Barton and Joe Joseph, Moore and Frank Potts Grant Sophies and Juniors their skill on the lots. The wonderful record of our own Helen Colley Is left to the Juniors—they need it, by golly! Eddie Fennel, the star of the physics lab, Wills his prominent place to Judson Webb. Alvaretta, the chief editor of our X-Ray Leaves to Minnie Mossman this part to play. Firpo, the biggest of the Senior fellers. Gives an hundred and fifty pounds to Frankie Sellers; William Angel wills his knowledge of Byron, Keats, and Shelley, To Lawrence Thompson, and the studious Bill Kelly; And here’s one that almost makes us cry— Byron James leaves Skinny Angel a printer’s pi. 7 I Wff5 Helen Manring, the girl who can talk by the hour, Grants this accomplishment to Violet Lindauer; Misses Phillips and Tisch, they of smiling faces, Leave Merrill and Wilson their vanity cases. Mildred Imboden, the girl of good looks Leaves “Gib” Darling her interest in books. Max Morrow, the lad who can wiggle his ears, Leaves “Legs” Gettles this talent for future years. The two stenographer girls, Kriebel and Kirby, Leave promise that they’ll win the typewriting derby. To Alice Mae Cartwright, Miss Deal does donate About twenty-five pounds of her surplus weight. Misses Hartley and Aberts, who have ever grown wiser, Leave their A’s to Iidna Hoagland and Mary Kisor; The record of having done many a good deed Is left to the memory of Bessie Reed. The Honorable Nellie Fisher, member of the House Leaves her seat in Congress to Delbert Roush. “Gig” Bryan, the star, leaves his football apparel For use next year by Lannie Merrill.

And that’s all. With each Senior we’ve made a rhyme. And we will admit that we’ve had a deuce of a time; We hope none will feel that they have been slighted. For there’ll he no chance for wrongs to he righted. And last, hut not least, we all as a Class, Leave to our schoolmates, each lad and lass, Our Hopes and Best Wishes for Health and Success, With Happiness aplenty, may they ever possess; And our teachers we must not forget, if you please, So we’ll just make them residuary legatees. In making this will we have tried to be fair; To find something for each we have searched everywhere. We have bequeathed all we have, and can give no more, And we trust sincerely that none will get sore; But if any one should, and sets up a complaint, We respectfully ask that one to go where we ain’t. Of free will we sign and our seals do affix, This twentieth day of May, nineteen twenty-six. Than to write this ourselves we thought it wiser To retain Lillian Colley as legal adviser. Witnessed by two from the faculty roster, Harry B. Wyman, and Delbert E. Boster. (Signed) The Senior Class of ’20, —Max W. Morrow.

Those who could read the facts knew that something was needed. In the former case a new world; in the latter, a new study period. The first gave people a new start, the second a chance to catch up with the leaders. The result is seen in the steady rise of grades; where once there were F’s and C’s there are now IVs and A-mbition. Some think it to their discredit to he in this period; others, who do not have enough time to get their work in school or at home consider it a blessing. However, despite the various opinions of the students, the teachers can tell of the success of the plan by consulting the registers for there the facts are in black and white. So every one cheer up! Even if you are in the eighth period don’t let that discourage you; just work and take advantage of it and you may yet he president of the United States. All through the day the sun shines bright And all things are happy in its soft, warm light; The song of the bird, the flower and the bee Seem to blend in cheerful harmony. But when the sun is setting behind the hill The insects chime in with merry trill; And the twilight call of robin-red-breast Summons his mate to a cozy warm nest. The shadows are coming softly and still. Now comes darkness on the wooded hill. The choirs have finished their evening song, A silver moon reigns all the night long. Lanford Merrill, Editor.

OUR “A” CLASS Edna is rowdy, but appears very mild; Frances is grown, but acts like a child; Alvarctta is frivilous, how’ere she may seem! Now Gertrude is nice, tho contrary sometimes, While Anna is serious and behaves at all times; And there’s Laura so funny that she’s really humorous; Betty so sweet, that kisses are numerous. Altho Catherine is quaint and always right, The way Dorothy leads her, is an absolute sight. Then last, but Not least in every way Is Miss Colley who is always the same every day. Can you imagine Anna Aberts giggling over anything? Think of Edna Plummer carrying a lip stick! What would happen if Dorothy Braley should come to class without chewing gum? Wouldn’t Laura Kirby be handsome if she had long golden curls? What if Helen Colley had lived in the age of hoop skirts? Catherine Ziegler must have bought Tom Patterson’s pony because she can get her Cicero lesson in half an hour. I wonder if Betty Dando will have as much trouble with her future husband as she does with her future indicative? O, it was raining,—raining true— When I). B. I met on the avenue And she was weaping,—O so sore— When 1 demanded of her “causa dolor.” Then she replied, between the floods, That Wes was dead, by the holy wods! And who is this Wes, you well may say. Well just ask 1). B. and she’ll portray His exact likeness, ere you can say Jack Robinson!—My but’t was a rainy day. —Nemo. It seems that there is a certain shiek from McArthur who has been doing his stulT in the Cicero class. At least three members of the class have fallen hard they say. We can easily account for Alvarctta and Gertrude but Edna Can you imagine it?

W. Williams, was held in the high school auditorium, March 18, 192G. The grade schools of Wellston also took part in the Eisteddfod, and it indeed proved to be of great value to all. The Girls’ Glee Club was divided into two choruses, one led by Alene Wills; the other by Freda Graggs. The adjudicator praised highly both choruses and stated that the competition was very close. The prize, a silver loving cup, was finally awarded to the chorus led by Alene Wills, who won by a grade three points higher than the other chorus. The following high school students are prize winners: Alene Wills, Betty I)ando, Freda Graggs, Gertrude Tisch, Lucille Eberts, Ada Merle Davis, Robert Price, Eugene Ervin, Charlotte Kelley, Violet Lindauer, Louis Goddard, Catherine Dando, Myra Kelley, Willard Willis, Olive Plummer, Katheleen Morrow, Mary Morgan. Professor Williams has taught music in the schools of Wellston for a number of years, and has created a great interest and enthusiasm in the children for music. They have been benefited in many ways and many have received a musical education they could have obtained in no other way. Not only the schools but all Wellston ought to be grateful to Mr, Williams for the work he has done in Wellston and the Wellston City Schools.

Although as an organization it is not in any way connected with the school, the members have been very generous in furnishing music for various schools affairs. The orchestra plays not only for school functions but also for outside affairs. It has been organized for over a year and has proved itself very useful both to the town and school. Last summer they broadcasted from station WAIU, and were offered other opportunities to broadcast from other popular stations. Five members of the orchestra, Eugene Ervin, Carlton Brooks, Donald Wortman, Robert Price, and Charles Callahan are members of the sophomore class. The sixth member, Rodney Scott, is a Senior and will be greatly missed by the orchestra next year. We admit we are proud of our orchestra. It deserves great praise and commendation for the work it has accomplished, and it is appreciated very much not only in the high school but also in Wellston. L • 1926 7 WHS HI-Y CLUB Max Morrow .

Bosteh For four years Mr. Boster has been Coach and Athletic Director at Wells-ton and his ability and success in athletics is equal to that of any coach in the Association. He possesses a magnetic personality that makes him a friend of every one who knows him. This personality along with his fine ability as a coach has made for him much success in turning out winning teams. Mr. Boster imbues a spirit of unselfishness and teamwork into his players as well as clean sportsmanship at all times. Coach Boster is gifted with ability to arouse and inspire a team, apparently losing, to victory. Mr. Boster came to us from Bio Grande. CAPTAIN JOSEPH ip Joe (Ironman) Joseph, captain and player extraordinary, is one of the scintillating stars in all history of the blue and gold. Joe was an almost unanimous choice for a guard position on the All South Eastern League’s first eleven. His hard progressive playing plus light and bull dog determination, was a big factor in Wellston’s scoring and a bigger factor in keeping opponents scoreless. A player, a leader and a man. 1926 Wff5 ‘Legs ’ playing end nearly all season, was one of the very best men of the team. On the defense he was a stone wall and on the offense a hard man to down. He has been justly honored by being eleeted captain of the 1926 team which will be built around him chiefly. Edmund (Wildcat) Davis R. E. For a first season’s appearance on the gridiron, Ed’s work was of unusually high caliber. He displayed a remarkable spirit of determination and was always ready to block his opponents’ end runs. These facts helped to win for him a position as end on the Mythical All South Eastern Team. Barton “Baht” Baumgartner L. H. “Bart” was famous for his speed, most noticeable in open field running. He easily showed himself to be the hardest man on the team to catch. Not only did he frequently carry the ball in “off-tackle” plays and end runs for consistent, telling gains, hut he was also fine in open field defense. Especially did “Bart” distinguish himself by a sensational run in tin Jackson game; certainly a fitting and dramatic exit from his high school football career. Robert “Firpo” Stephenson L. G. Weighing only 225 pounds “Firpo” certainly made his presence very noticeable in every game for he was constantly a “Gibraltar” on the defense and a tiger on the offense. He was a tower of strength on the line and opponents found it impossible to gain over “Firpo.” Bob has played his last game for W. H. S. However, we hope to hear from him in college circles next year. 1926 L 7 WH3 John “Jack” Sellers F. B. “Jack” proved to be the most consistent “line-smasher” Wellston has seen for several seasons. He always managed to gain the necessary yardage at the critical time. Playing every minute of the season lie backed up the line with splendid defense. “Jack’s” punting and line-plunging was also a great treat. Jack Dewitte R. H. Another difficult position on the team, that of half-back, was admirably filled by “Jack.” In a single season he developed from a “raw recruit” to one of the best half-backs turned out by W. H. S. “Jack” “left-handed” all the forward passes with real accuracy, and also showed up exceptionally well as a ball-carrier. The terrible force of bis attack, especially in the Nelsonville games 'ill always be remembered. James “Long Bun” Moore Q. B. Moore ably filled the most important position on the team, that of quarterback. Although this was his first season “Jim” was a good general in “calling” the plays, lie also proved exceptionally good in returning punts and in running interference. The success of the team at large is due, in no small measure, to Moore’s work. Charles “Chuck” Potts C. Although playing his first and last year as a varsity man “Chuck” filled the center position with plenty of credit. He is a good steady player and a splendid “snapper back.” Though light, he played his position well and was seldom boxed. He saw himself in action every minute of every game. 1926 7 !xW5 Glendon “Gig” Bryan L. F. “Gig” played end and tackle and although a “green” man at start of the season he rapidly developed into a “seasoned” player and gave a good account of himself in every game. “Gig” graduates this year and the vacancy he leaves will be a hard one to till. Henry “Hen” Griffiths R.T. In his first season as a “regular” “Hen” showed rare football ability. In every game he gave evidence of a fighting spirit that, combined with his knowledge and practice in football, won him recognition as a tackle, who would he an asset to any team. “Hen’s” defense particularly, was to be feared by all opponents. He will be one of the main cogs in the W. H. S. team next season. Donald “Hoof.” Wortman Backfield. “Hoge” alternated at halfback and quarterback position and filled either position very acceptably. While he displayed no mean ability at carrying the ball his strong point ws running interference. “Hoge” has two more seasons before him and, with the unusual football ability he possesses, he should develop into one of the best players W. H. S. has ever turned out. William “Bill” Kelley Backfield. “Bill” played a versatile role on the team. Whether he filled halfback position, or a line position made little difference to him, what “Bill” wanted was to get into the game and see action. He accomplished his share too. Great things are expected of “Bill” in his 192( season. r 1926 7 ----WffS Frank “Potsy” Potts Lineman. Frank did not (ill a regular position, but was always ready to jump into the game when a team-mate faltered. Nevertheless, the team lost nothing in strength and fighting spirit at “Potsy’s” entrance into the game. As a “relief man” his playing has rarely been surpassed by any previous W. II. S. man. William “Win” Angel Lineman. There is a saying that “No team is stronger than its utility men” and “Wid’s” playing in no way lowered the playing standard of the team. He filled either tackle or guard position as well as a veteran. He was always anxious to get into the game, and always gave a good account of himself. James “Reverend” Patrick Mgr. the least credit”—that’s “The man who does the most work and receives “Reverend.” He tilled the manager’s position so creditably that one would readily believe he had had life-long training for it. He does things in a business-like way and not by halves. Patrick has a splendid personality as well, and is well liked by the entire student body. Rodney “Scottie” Scott Cheer Leader. Scottie was the teams power house ever giving inspiration and fight to the teams with his organized cheering section with its spirited yells and songs. 1926 Wff3 « ■ WHS THE SEASON IN REVIEW w T H. S. presented a green team as the season opened at Portsmouth; and, although defeated in this game by a score of 34 to 0, W. II. S. displayed football ability which became very evident in the games some splendid which followed. The second game of the season saw W. II. S. battling with Marietta. Marietta won 25 to 0, but the score does not indicate the relative strength of the two teams for W. II. S. showed marked improvement over the first game. For the third game of the season McArthur was taken on and promptly whipped to the tune of 26 to 0. This was the first home game of the season, and on this occasion V. II. S. tasted its first sweets of victory. Although a scoreless tie was the result against Gallipolis here, W. 11. S. easily outplayed and excelled the riverites on the muddy field. W. H. S. made sixteen first downs to Gallipolis’ three. Jack Sellers was Wellston’s individual star. Up to date Ashland was W. H. S’s. best game. Wellston’s defense in this game was the best of the entire season. Ashland scored two of their three touch-downs on flukes and the third only by hard fighting. In the first League game at home the opposing team from Ironton, played ineligible men and, consequently, the game was forfeited to V. H. S. Although the field score stood 7 to 0 in favor of Ironton, W. H. S. outplayed their opponents in every phase of the game. Nelsonville came here Friday, November 13th. They proved no “jinx” for V. II. S. defeated them decisively in one of the finest exhibitions of football the local fans have ever seen. Wellston’s teamwork and form of attack completely baffled the Northerners, who went home on the short end of a 30 to 0 score. Jack Dewitte came out of the fray with a record of two touch-downs and plenty of sensational runs. W. II. S. played at Logan Friday, November 20th, and was beaten 25 to 0. With four of the regulars out of the line-up W. II. S. played in hard luck; but vowed to avenge this defeat at Jackson’s expense. Thanksgiving Morning! The game of all games! Wellston and Jackson are there en masse. Interest is at fever heat and both sides are confident that the victory will be theirs. From the blow of the referee’s whistle to the crack of the pistle both teams fight desperately, throwing all they have into every play and trying frantically to score. During the first quarter both teams fight evenly; hut in the second quarter W. H. S. show their superiority by scoring the first touch down, when Bart crosses the line after a 75-yard run. After a series of aerial plays in the third quarter, Moore bucks the ball over for the second touchdown of the game. Even though the score stands in Wellston’s favor Jackson still proves a formidable foe. On several occasions they are within striking distance of Wellston’s goal But without making a single substitution W. II. S. holds the opponent scoreless to the end of the game. In triumph the fans and players return to their home town, Wellston, elated by the victory which marks a fitting close to the successful football season of 25. x 1926 — Wff5 rnrnmmmmti Top row: I). E. Boster, Coach; Patrick, Manager. Second row: Potts, Callahan, Moore, Willis, Davis. First row: Kelley, Morrow, Sellers (C.), Wortman, Gettles. “Jack” Sellers—Guard. Jack, captain of the 1926 aggregation, was one of the two letter men carried over from last season, and a nucleus around which a new team must be built. Jack was shifted from his natural stationary guard position and converted into a floor guard, in which position he performed in brilliant style. “Bill” Kelley—Forward Kellev was the almost unanimous choice for captain of the coming year. An honor well bestowed, on Wellston’s most aggressive and enthusiastic player. Kelley plays hall from the first whistle to the last and was a mainstay in the local offense, lie should be a big gun in Wellston’s rejuvenated 1927 aggregation. Max Morrow—Center. Max is a natural guard and a good one. It is hard to find a better defensive man. But centers are necessary in the five man game and Max, the only possibility for the position, filled the gap. He was seldom out-jumped by his opponent but his defensive instinct dominating carried Max back to his defensive territory where he gave opponents a load of trouble. 1926 WHS “Hoge” Wortman—Forward. “Huge” is a natural athlete and with him rests a big share in the destiny of the future of W. H. S. Athletics. Rhythmic in his movements on the lloor and an artist in the long shot game. Hoge is new in the game and more or less erratic, not exactly consistent as yet hut should be a real wheel in the 11)27 machine. “Leggs” CiEtti.es—Guard. “Leggs” guard de luxe, won more admiration and condemnation from the side lines, than any other man in the game. Not a natural basketball player, but a man full of a characteristic fight and pep that will put any man in front. Defensive hands and offensive feet, a combination hard to figure. When hands dominate you see a star in the game. “Jim” Moore—Guard. Moore playing his first season in the cage, gave more than a credible account of himself. Jim performs equally well from the guard or forward poistion. Another enthusiatic, energetic player, putting out his best at all times. “Win” Willis—Forward. “Wid,” the diminutive forward, was feared by all opposing guards. Illusive and clever in his floor work and a good shot from all positions on the lloor. To Wid goes much of the credit for winning the all important Jackson controversy. “Hi” Callahan—Forward. Another midget and the first “Frosh” to make the letter in Wellston’s three years of basketball history. Callahan and Willis worked together well from the forward position and will figure in next season’s foreordained fortune. The local hardfloor quintet of boys, with but two letter men of last season, fought through what might be conceded a most unsuccessful year of basketball behavior, but ineidently turning oyer to next year’s hopes, a possibility of a championship contender. The opening game next season will see a veteran team on the lloor, and a team supporting two or more basket shooting aces. Wellston was, by virtue of the late organized League, thrown into a class of high caliber competition. All the teams setting forth a vivacious attack that could not long be withstood by an unexperienced five. The blue and gold, color bearers would show to advantage over opponents in preliminary warm-up for practice, and invariably kept the fans in good spirits throughout the first half of conflict, but always the second half seeing a weakened anil demoralized aggregation fighting a losing finish. BOYS’ BASKET-BALL SEASON L 7 WHS ■■I ■■ Top row: I). E. Boster, Coach; Miss Maxwell, Coach. Second row: I)ando, Callahan, Kelley, Watters, Wills. First row: Zimmerman, Hudson, Scott (C.), Eberts, Davis. Margaret ’’Scotty” Scott—Captain—Center. For the second consecutive season Scottie led Wellston’s team to the championship honors. Margaret was an inspiration always to her team mates, and with her very presence on the floor confidence was theirs. She played center—a high jumper, a good guard, and a graceful basket tosser. Laurels of the Athens game at Athens go to Margaret. Ada Merle Davis—Captain-elect—Guard. Ada Merle has been justly honored by being elected to steer the girls next year. A stone-wall guard that held every forward against whom she played, that passed the ball accurately to her forwards—that’s Merle. Mary Katherine “Mary Kay” Zimmerman—All-Tournament Forward. Mary Kay is considered the “ace” of girls’ players in this district. An accurate shot and a wonderful floor girl—these won her a forward position on the first all tournament team the last two years, and incidentally, captain of it this year. Mary is Wellston’s blue streak on the court that played circles around all her opposing guards. L 7 1926 WHS A more consistent, hard playing guard cannot be found in all southeastern Ohio—that spells Jackie. Her playing is never spectacular; but if the ball is in her territory she’s after it and she’s after it hard; and if the ball is with her opponents she’s there to guard it and get it. This year’s all-tournament team honors her name, a place well deserved. Claudi n e H u ns ox—F o rw a r d. Claudine’s accurate goal shooting was largely responsible for numerous W. H. S. victories the past season. As a Freshman last year she held down a guard position; this year she was shifted down the floor to the forward post. She played both positions equally well, which shows that she has real basketball ability. Claudine’s presence will be seen again next year. Irene Waters- Center. Irene developed from a “green recruit” into a real star in the course of a single season. A center, a guard, and a forward any position at any time and in almost every game. To Irene’s floor work and baskets goes the victory over Jack-son in the tournament—hence the championship. She has two years yet to repeat the good work. Alvaretta “Al” Callahan—Forward. Alvaretta tilled the substitute role nicely during the past season. Steady in practice and in playing, congenial, dependable—a real sport—is Al. Her services will be absent next year. Katherine “Katy” Dando—Guard. Katy broke into numerous games and gave a good account ol herself in every one. She has splendid ability and next season will likely find a regular berth waiting for her. She has three seasons ahead of her. Alene Wills—Guard and Forward. Another utility girl! Alene, small but mighty, saw many quarters of service. Guard is her regular position; but she found herself on the offensive side several times. The “dark horse” tournament winners of 1925, inaugurated the 1926 season with almost the entire team intact and proceeded to show their wares throughout the 1926 season. The girls lost some games during the playing season, but always by small margins at times when the locals were crippled or off color, and in every case save the one trouncing defeat at the hands of the super Gallipolis team, they came back and humbled by humiliating defeats their earlier victors. The Girls displayed magnificant team work with a scoring punch at times dazzling. They played the season in such a way as to bring credit to themselves and honor to their school. They overcome a difficult lane of obstacles and finished with a brilliant sensational tournament when they quelled their adversary in the finals by a score of 25 to 8; and thereby retained the prize cup for the second consecutive year. GIRLS’ BASKET-BALL SEASON z WHS TRACK Although Wellston will this year be without the services of two star track and field men, Kruskamp and Dando, performers extraordinary, and the nucleus of earlier teams here, she will put a team in the field; and if early season practice is an index to probabilities, Wellston will again this year make more than credible showing on the cinder path and in field events. Ed. Davis, “All South Eastern” football end, is filling Kruskamp's shoes in the vaulting pit, and establishing a new local record with the discus. Davis is also a distance man, always placing in those events last year. Stevenson, is heaving the shot beyond the forty-foot mark, and is running abreast Davis for honors with the discus. Sellers and H. Callahan will be called upon for the javelin. Callahan may also be used in the high jump. On the track, (Jetties, placing in the hurdles last season, will again demonstrate bis ability in going over the obstacles. He will also figure in the 220 dash and the broad jump. Baumgartner will assume the responsibility for the sprint events, assisted by Goddard; and, W. Angel, new comer, will set the pace in the mile and half mile endurance events. Wellston will be entered in the South Eastern League meet at Iron-ton on May 1, and again in the class B Meet at Wellston on the following week, and in a probable triangular meet on May loth. On May 22nd they will particpate in the State High School meet at Columbus. a - 1926 j !xMS ®N THE following pages will be found -----'the advertisements of those merchants who have shown themselves behind the “X-RAY” by using it as an advertising medium.

Not being acquainted he quaked within his shoes. Before he knew it he was exclaiming, “I’m a Sophomore.” Knowing much apparently he went through life in the same old manner caring little. Then he joined the Junior class where he was more apt to feel that he knew it all. But when he became a Senior he saw the folly of his ways and repented. Joining in everything he failed to do the things he thought he would and he almost flunked but he became a high school graduate just the same. y---------------------- O. J.

History does not supply us with even one example of a general who was born before bis parents died. They have all been very fortunate in this respect. Scientists have proved that it is impossible for an elephant to build its nest for its young in the tops of trees, even the oak.

We have always appreciated the comradeship of our High School days, but with the responsibility of recording the events of this career there has come to us a greater realization of the good will existing among the student body.
