Our class may be very small, Number us and you will see. But we’ll tell you one and all We’re a powerful “Thirty-three.” We’ve had many good times here, There are many things we’ve learned Tactful, faithful, year by year We our joys have duly earned. Now with sorrow we depart, For ’tis time to say goodbye; We leave you with a saddened heart, Our Alma Mater, Wellston High. —Lawrence Thompson, ’27. W. S. FERGUSON Principal Mr. Ferguson, although new in the position of principal, is fast becoming an able executive. He is a very conscientious worker, who always has at heart the interest of the students. He is ever willing to expend time and energy for anv sc}100i function. The nime we know Mr. Ferguson, the more w«� rVhS eC 1'IU an al)l)rot'iate his real V. G. SCARBERRY Superintendent Mr. Scarberry is a man of unusually pleasing personality. He has very definite ideas of school management and ability to put them to practice. His interest in all school activities, his willingness to help on every occasion, and his friendly, pleasant manner have won for him the esteem and ail-miration of all who know him. We can think of no tribute high enough to pay to Mr. Scarberry. Page Ten RUTH BRALEY Otterbein A. B. English INEZ MORROW Oberlin A. B. History, Latin, Dramatics I). H. WILLIAMS Ohio Northern B. M.

ERVIN The students of Wellston High School suffered a great loss in tlie death of Eugene Ervin. A member of the Class of 1928, Eugene was always interested in the activities of the school and was liked by all who knew him. The X-Ray Staff wish to honor him by dedicating this page to his memory. Page Twenty-six SOPHOMORES HMEN Page Twenty-eight THE SOPHOMORE CLASS In sports we are conspicuous; In grace anti charm we shine; In lessons we are. rather dense, For thep jusl aren't in our line. Although our class this year is rather small in number, we certainly are not lacking in initiative, for we take part in the outside activities which really count much toward making High School interesting. Our class is well represented in athletics, music, and the different cluhs and societies. Our beaming countenances are here, there and everywhere in both the Glee Clubs and can always be seen bobbing up in dramatics and sports. Indeed our Sophomore members entered football with a vim, and even today we are living in the reflected glory cast by John Finn, Bob Young and Bill Patterson, who shine like the proverbial gold spoon in the world of football and who, in years to come, will likely still be talking about their great football feats to their grandchildren. No one can accuse us of being prim and precise, for basket ball is another of our gentle pastimes. Our players, Hiram Callahan, Fred Janies, Catherine Dando and Ellen Hayburn, look so sweet in their uniforms, too! A genius? We have many! Speaking of A’s, personally we don’t receive them, but Edwin, Catherine, Ellen and Virginia simply have them sticking out both ears. Particularly must be mentioned two young gentlemen, Alfred Vanbibber and Clarence Martin, whose blushing faces and sweet, shrinking countenances have caused comment far and wide. Our class is undoubtedly great. II will certainly be greater in the future. We attribute our success to modesty, pure and simple. Never have we been known to speak of our great deeds in public! If anyone believes that his class overshadows ours, let him remember that “Pride gocth before a fall!” We number thus: John Anderson James Baker Nellie Bartoe Mary Bierhup Ardyce Bowling Paul Brvan Both Brady Hiram Callahan Buby Campbell Thomas Canter Wilma Collins Catherine Dando Cyrus Davis Ralph Downard Melvin Downard Adelia Dunn Clifford Dye Crilla Ervin John Finn James Eininert Donald Celtics Bertha Gilliland Harold Grashel Carl Gundlefinger Edwin Harper Marjorie Harper Ellen Hayburn Minnie Henneman Catherine Hudson Fred James Margaret Jonas Ernestine Kelley Virginia Kelly Darlene King Christina King Vesta Leslie Alma Lindauer Lenora McDaniel Robert Manring Eflie Marquis Clarence Martin Ebon Merrill Margaret Morris Kathleen Morrow Grace Norris William Patterson Helen Phillips Adrian Phillips Roger Pierpont Olive Plummer Grace Pope Ella Beed Glenora Renshaw Ben Rhodes Thomas Sadler Stephen Reed Franklin Sellers Felonise Shoemaker Henry Shuler Lucille Souders Fern Snedecor Frances Stephenson Mildred Stephens Cathadale Stewart Myrtle Summers Lorena Thorne Herbert Thorne Alfred Tisch Alfred Vanbibber Eva Wade Bay Waldron Raymond Watson Melvin Watson Kathryn Waugh Louise Webster Thelma Weinrich Dollie West Theodore West Willard White Robert Winters Danna Woodruff Clifford Yarrington Robert S. Young Bay Ziegler Page Twenty-nine THE FRESHMAN CLASS At the beginning of the school year 1926. ninety-live pupils entered upon their new duties as Freshmen of NVellston High School. At first we were excited, but as time passed we became acquainted with the surroundings about us and entered into the various activities of the school The Freshman Class was organized with Mr. McDaniel as Faculty Advisor; Charles Smith, President; Herbert Kessinger, Vice-President; and Nellie MeManis, Secretary-Treasurer. Quite a large number of Freshman girls were taken into the Glee Club and all have proven their real worth to this, the largest organization of the school. Three of our number are members of the High School Orchestra. Seven of our number are members of the Dramatic Club, represented our class in the play entitled “Adam and Eva.” Darlene Wort man After the initiations of the literary societies there was found to be seven of our girls in the Cary Club and four in the Mishna. A few of the boys tried out for football, but Old of the few only one was capable of holding a position on the first team, namely Italph Marsh. Both boys and girls were represented in basket ball. After choosing the best, which was a difficult task to perform, six of our girls received places on the squad. During the year these girls made a line record for themselves. Alma Bellomy was chosen as forward on the “lirst” All Tournament Team, and Jessie Lucas was chosen guard on the “second.” Several boys tried out for basket ball but because of their diminutive size (?) were not admitted to the squad. They will likely make a fine showing next year. We are as follows: Hadas Aberls Margaret Allcnder Clark Bayes Alma Bellomy Arthur Bishop Jordon Braley Margaret Brandau Bichard Bryan Vcrda Caminck Gertrude Clark Naomi Clark Genevieve Cole Catherine Collins Mary Collins George Daugherty Bosa Davis ■Dorothy Doughty Boy Day Ruth Dew Elden Dillenger Marion Downard Opal Downard Leroy Duhl Verl Fisher Joe Carey Charity Griffis Margaret Gundel-finger Helen Hall Paul Hogan Cornelia Houghland Dorothy Howell Monford Humble Laura Fern Hunley Helen Ingals Elijah Jarvis Jeanne Leaeh Paul Leach Anna Lewis Helen Loekard Jessie Lucas Etta Mae MeBrayer Thelma McLaughlin Nellie MeManis Madge Malloy Hazel Moler Paul Mosier Herbert Ourey Mildred Phillips L- Margaret Johnson Harvey Phillips Nedra Corbin Christina Jones Marcella Jones Lawrence Jewell Edythe Kelley Herbert Kessinger Carey King Martha Kisor Thelma Kontner John Dupre Newell Phillips Bussell Platte Bobert Bonn Eva Post Gordon Post William Bhodes Jennie Mae Rogers Clyde Scott Garnet Scott Frances Lavender Helen Scott Martha Scurlock Marcella Scurlock Raymond Seel Norman Shelton Clara Mae Shields Margaret Shuler Charles Smith Edna Smith Howard Smith Lenna Mae Smith Lillie Souders Swisher Stareher Donald Stewart Janet Sylvester James Thompson Chester Vititoc Florence Watson Ruth Wetzel Edward Wills Darlene Wort man Nellie Mae Yarring-ton Page Thirty-one Page Thirty-two Back Bow: McDaniel (Coach), Bryan, Grifiis, Finn, Martin, Celtics (Captain), !

McDaniel, Director of Athletics This is Mr. McDaniel’s first year at Welision High School. Before coming to us, he proved himself a very successful coach at Albany, Ohio. Mr. McDaniel is a leader capable of overseeing a whole army of men. He has not only made real athletes out of the hoys, but has imbued them with unselfishness and a spirit of true sportsmanship. He is ever ready to do his part, with a spirit which carries him far into the heart of every acquaintance. We hope Coach McDaniel will be with us next year to repeat the good work. mt.! m FOOTBALL BOYS Page Thirty-four AUSTIN MASSIE This was Massif’s first year on the varsity squad. He wasn’t a regular at the first of the year, hut worked up to that booth at the end. Massie was a fighter when sent into a game. This is his last year and he will certainly be missed by W. H. S. next year. EVERETT GETTLES -Captain “Legs” was called upon to do many things this year for which his three years of experience had fitted him. He did the kicking for the team, was on the receiving end of most of the forward passes, and stood the brunt of the game, both defense and offense, many times. Dividing his time between left half and left end, his accomplishments were such that he was chosen captain and left end of the All-Southeastern eleven. The 1927 team will miss “Legs.” FOSTER BRYAN—Quarter and Full-Back “Dingham” started the year at full, but was shifted to quarter, where he succeeded in outguessing his opponents on many occasions, lie is a hard-hitter and can be depended on for a gain on almost every attempt. This was Bryan’s first year on the varsity squad, and from his showing he will be a valuable asset to next year’s backfield. WILLIAM KELLY—Center When the coaches of the Southeastern League met to choose the all-star team, everyone agreed that his center had been outplayed at least once during the year; and that was when they played Wellston. “Bill’s” work was sensational wherever the team played, and his marvelous defensive play was a strong part in keeping opponents’ scores down. Kelly loves the game, and certainly merits the honor of being center on the 1926 All-Southeastern eleven. “Bill’s” place will not be an easy one to fill next year. GLEN MARTIN—“Biggy”—Right End Martin started the season on center, but when Coach McDaniel discovered that he needed a good end he called upon “Biggy.” Martin is one of the best men on the team and has the spirit and determination to make a real football player. “Biggy” will be one of the main cogs in the next-year football machine. 11EN B Y G BIFFIS—“Buddha” Griffis, one of the brick type with plenty of pep, filled right tackle on the ’26 team. A Senior this year, “Buddha” has played a regular position for two years. The opponent seldom gained over him, and when Griffis left the game the whole team became disheartened. He will be greatly missed by next year’s squad. DONALD WORTMAN “Hoge,” a passer and line plunger of extraordinary ability, because of his physical condition was forced from most of the games of the year. Wortman, in other seasons, has shown wonderful football skill. He plays the position of quarter-back. Payr Thirty-six Page Thirty-seven Although Patrick in midscason was found ineligible as a result of a new rule requiring a certain number of semesters in school, he showed real football ability, having developed into a good linesman. He was also used in backfleld with fine results. KEITH FIFE The very efficient manager of the 192(5 team has certainly shown his worth and has made himself practically invaluable in the football of Wellston High School. Fife’s influence and willingness to help the team in any way possible has done much to bring about the team’s unusual prosperity during the season. His aid has been much appreciated both by the teams and the coaches. LAXFORD MERRILI_______ Shakespeare —Utility Man - Merrill, too. was forced from football by the new rule. He played the position of full-back. “Shakespeare’s” presence in backfleld has been greatly missed, for his playing showed great ability and strength. JOHN FINN “Finny”—Right Guard This was Finn’s first year on the varsity squad. He plays right guard, a hard position to fill. He was responsible for a good many line plunges. “Finny” has two more years for the same position if he keeps his past record. Although we were defeated at Nelsonville, John was right there with his excellent playing. Finny,” we’re backing you for next year! WILLIAM PATTERSON— Bill” The midget of the team, though undeveloped, has great possibilities for the future. He was handicapped by size, but his natural football ability and readiness to give his best to the game have already made a name for him in the realm of the football world. RALPH MARSH— Snipe”—Full-Back Marsh is one of the Freshies to show his value in capturing a place in the line-up. This is another ease of pure football talent, for “Snipe,” though having practically no former training, has advanced above his competitors and, with three more years ahead of him, has ample opportunities to be a real player in future seasons. HOMER K )SE—“llombo Homer was found suitable for either guard or tackle. He is a boy of few words, hut let him in a game of football and he starts things humming. Homer earned his first gold “ V” this year, and he has one more season to play with W. H. S. “Hombo” has the size and height to put him through. We’re looking for you next year, Homer! ROBERT YOUNG— Hob “Bob” had the distinction of practicing at the first of the season in a baseball uniform. As it is impossible to keep a good man down. Coach McDaniel soon recognized his merits and presented him with an ancient uniform. Young has advanced steadily, and held a regular guard position practically throughout the season. With two more years ahead, he will certainly make an outstanding player for W. H. S. FOOTBALL When tlu call for football earn!(dates was sounded early ill September a new coach found himself confronted by an almost wholly new squad of material. In addition to being green every one of the season’s contests. Four letter men, including two regulars, were all that could be found when the roll was called, ami with the loss of Wortman in mid-season this number was cut down to three. Coach McDaniel praises the attitude taken by both the old and new men. for wonders were worked in the next few weeks, moulding a team that later made a creditable The strength of the McArthur team hud been somewhat under-estimated, and it was not until later in the season that Wellston boosters realized that the 0—0 score at McArthur was no cause Ask any former V. H. S. varsity football man about their Journeys to Marietta, and the of the score. The 1928 team made the trip there and back the same day, played the game, and The first home game of the season was played on a wet field in a downpour of rain, where the heavier Portsmouth team, taking advantage of their weight, using a line-plunging game, scored Not content with losing every game, Wellston invaded Ironton and dedicated a new stadium to the tune of 12—6. Willis here played his first game at quarter-back, a position vacated only a day previous by Wortman’s Illness.

From then on to the end of the basket hall year the players showed a marked improvement and an unflagging interest which enabled them to attain a league standing of .444. By defeating such teams as Pomeroy, Gallipolis, Ironton and Logan this Season the Wellston boys have advanced to a standard equaling that of practically any of the surrounding schools. The entire squad has shown extraordinary improvement and has come out of a literally hopeless cause into a good station. It has certainly taken diligent Practice to bring the team up to the type of playing displayed at the tournament. The whole school has witnessed the interesting, well-fought games and invincible spirit of the boys, and extends heartiest recommendations and congratulations for the coming season. •0? Forty Page Forty-one “Captain Bill” led his team through Wellston High's most successful cage season. Playing guard, a position wholly new to him, he put the strength necessary to a good defense, and consequently opponents were held to low scores. In Gallipolis, Pomeroy and fronton games especially Bill certainly looked good. He had a habit of dropping some nice ones in from near the center of the floor that at times were life-savers. WORTMAN rienced quintet GETTLES WILLIS “Wid,” the finest shot on the squad, was called upon in every game to demon-rate his ability. He had a knack of delivering the necessary points when needed; me kind of a man every successful team must have. Willis showed increased development throughout the entire season, and next year will be a candidate for honors. CALLAHAN At the tip-ofT Hiram gave his team the edge by constantly ge tting the ball. He was always alert and ready to check any passes that tlu opposing team attempted. He showed his fine shooting ability in many games. When Callahan has run up against a scrappy team you can always count on him playing just as scrappy. He has two more years in which to give his best to Wellston High, and from his work this season much will be expected of him in helping to make Wellston boys a threat to any and all league teams. JAMES “Fred”—into the game and into it with a will and determination that one would hardly expect to find in such a small lad. At the beginning of the season this Sophomore occupied a reserved seat on the bench hut later, when put into the game as a stationary guard, proved his true worth to the team. “Fred” proved to be too quick for his opponents and even got the ball before the larger ones could. And if, during a basket ball game, you happened to see the ball being dribbled down the floor, through the opponents' defense, and then put through the basket, you knew someone was behind it, and that someone was usually Fred. RHODES “Big Ben,' another Sophomore of the squad, with his six feet four inches of height, will in the next two years give a creditable account of himself on Wellston High quintets. He was in a majority of the games this year and developed into a valuable utility man. A good man on the defense. Patterson, C. Callahan, Saltsman, Pierpont, Hogan and Wills will be contenders for positions next year. And as five of the above are Sophomores and two are Freshmen the outlook for a few years is encouraging.

II. S. has a girls’ basket ball team of which it can well afford to be proud. The girls did not win every game nor did they win the tournament, but they did win a majority of their games and were never beaten by a one-sided score. The loss of the final game of the tournament to Jackson by one point was not a defeat to be ashamed of hut rather one of which they may be proud. The team was beyond a doubt superior to that of last year, as a comparison of the games leading up to the tournament will show. Not only did the Wellston girls distinguish themselves by their good basket ball, but they are known every place they have played for their excellent sportsmanship. Much of the credit for this team belongs to Miss Maxwell, who gave unsparingly of her time and energy and guided it through a very successful season.

She displays remarkable basket ball ability in every play. CATHERINE DANDO- -Guard The beginning of the season found Katy a regular player on the team. Much determination, added to her ability at guarding, made her a real asset to the team. Always after the ball and after it hard that’s Katy.

At this writing the prospects for a Blue and Gold winner are not the brightest, although we have some very promising material. However, with such a goodly number out for the trials, it seems that W. H. S. should make a good showing in any track meet they may enter. The inter-class meet held at the Driving Park Saturday, April 23, brought out some excellent competition and a few surprises. The result of the meet, in which both girls and boys competed, was in doubt until the running of the boys’ relay, when the Juniors, by placing second, were returned winners. The points scored were: Juniors, 54; Sophomores, 49; Seniors, 37; Freshmen, .'JO. Bv virtue of the victory the Juniors for one year will have possession of the Thomas trophy, presented by W. E. Thomas, a man who has shown his interest and pride and been most influential in all athletics and school affairs. This trophy, which stands sixteen inches high, is a beautiful silver loving cup that will have the year of the winning class engraved upon it. Those assured of places on the varsity team are Gettles, Kelly and Willis in the dashes; Griffis in the 880 and mile; Webb in the high hurdles; Gettles and Wortman in the low hurdles; Kelly and Gooding in the pole vault; Wortman, Callahan and Hogan in the high jump; Kelly, Callahan and Finn in the shot put; Rhodes in the discus; Callahan and Finn in the javelin; Gettles and Wortman in the broad jump; while the make-up of the relay team is yet to be determined. The Wcllston lads will engage in a dual meet with their ancient rival, Jackson, on April 29; on May 1 I they will enter the Southeastern League meat at Logan; and on May 21 they will go to Piketon to uphold their honor in the Southeastern Class H meet.

A membership drive during the first semester brought this number up to fifteen. The club has sponsored and kept alive a Bible Study ('.lass of twenty-two, which meets once each week. The club this vear put across very successfully the Father and Son Banquet April 1. At this banquet two hundred and fifty were present and a fine time enjoyed by everyone. The club has also put on the Jubilee Minstrel Show, which was a decided success. These deeds together with the fine spirit of the Hi-Y hoys has done much to accomplish the purpose of Hi-Y, which is to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. t €) 2, Faye Forty-nine President Secretary Librarians .......

Williams If, on occasions, a thunderous bass rolls up and drowns out the tenor it is merely to be overlooked. And, after all, why should other towns be jealous, if our boys, when they lift their pious voices in anthems, sound like heavenly choirs? It is hard to train a chorus from High School boys, hut it is certainly possible, as has been demonstrated. The Mixed Chorus, only recently introduced into our High School, is composed of the members of both the Girls’ and Boys' Glee Clubs. This club has developed rapidly, for it is not possible to practice regularly, and although several excellent singers will be lost next year through graduation, the chorus will improve as it grows older. Each member is practically familiar with his ground through his association with the Glee Clubs. The Mixed Chorus has had a fine beginning and through practice and experience will develop into a well-trained group of singers. Mr. Williams, the leader, has aroused interest through his own enthusiasm and must be commended for his efforts to better the musical possibilities of the chorus. Altogether have been verv by the the Boys' Glee Club, the Girls’ Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus successful undertakings in our High School, and the efforts made boys and girls are not unappreciated.

Home Management and Textiles are studied. Practical experience is given by requiring each member of the class to do a certain amount of cooking and sewing. The girls have had several opportunities to prove that they are “real cooks. A new feature this year was the “hot lunch which was served to the students at noon. During the tournament a dinner was served to the visiting coaches and tournament ollicials. The Hi-Y boys and Advisory Hoard enjoyed a banquet prepared by the “cooks.” Page Sixty MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT Mk. Hawk, Instructor The Manual Training Department of Wellston High School is nearing the end of the third year of its existence under the management of A. M. Hawk. The progress made hv this department is surprising considering its newness. The first and second years were given over to woodworking with hand tools only. The Board of Education, however, had a larger vision for the department. They kept constantly in mind the fact that more equipment and room was badly needed. 1 he year 11)27 saw this vision made a reality. The Board very generously voted to buy five new woodworking machines consisting ol a jointer, handsaw, lilt he, variety saw and mortiscr. All machines are separate units electrically driven. The matter of room was the next problem which lias been very successfully solved. The department now occupies two large rooms. One room is equipped with twelve double benches with full supply of hand tools for woodworking. The other room has been partitioned, making a finishing room and a machine and lumber room. Wellston High now has a Manual Training Department that cannot he surpassed by any other school of its size in Ohio. VrL _: Page Sixlu-one BOYS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. McDaniel, Instructor At tlu beginning of the school year of 15)2( -27 the Hoys' Physical Education Department had its beginning. Development has not reached the perfect stage yet, hut the progress made has been of inestimable value. The object of the work is to preserve and promote good health. With this in mind, calisthenics, competitive games and exercises of various kinds have been introduced and instructions given in their execution. All boys of the High School are members of the department unless they are on the varsity squad of one of the interscholastic athletic teams. The law requires that all pupils shall he taught Physical Education not less than one hundred minutes each week. On account of the newness of the department, equipment has been scant, and consequently the variety of the work has been limited With added equipment and a knowledge of the good accomplished Physical Education will soon he an essential part of the lli-di School nroitram It is hoped that by next year the classes will he so arranged that ’each hoy xv.11 possess an inexpensive gym outfit that will make more strenuous exercises possible. Page Sixtg-two Miss Maxwki.i., Instructor The Girls' Physical Education Class, a comparatively new department of our High School curriculum, has been organized in order to interpret and carry out those rules which are beneficial and highly important to good health. The course, which includes practically every girl in the school, has been received by pupils and patrons alike as a factor which will bring better health and a proper social relationship to each participant. If the work has not been brought up to the highest standard the cause might be due to lack of equipment. Next year, after more apparatus has been purchased, the recreative extent of the class will he broadened. Then, also, a definite point system will he installed and credits will he awarded to each girl according to her attainments. Each girl has found the course both hygienic and educational. I he simple regulation clothes add to the interest, while the active games furnish amusement, ability and skill in athletics. Ever since the class was made a permanent scholastic study, each girl has unconsciously developed a higher interest in her own bodily fitness. Too much praise cannot he given the course, and in the future it will certainlv create a higher moral and intellectual standard among W elision High School pupils. GIRLS’ PHYSICAL EDUCATION Cage Sixty-three COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Miss Di rham, Instructor Wellston High School opened its commercial course three years ago. About one hundred and forty students were enrolled in the course, which was composed of Bookkeeping, Gregg Shorthand and tlie touch system of typing. This new project turned out to he a very successful one from the start. Several of the students went out into good positions with only the training which they received here. This department occupies two large, well-lighted rooms in the beautiful building, and is well equipped with new typewriters, and large tables for the bookkeeping classes. Clubs were organized for the betterment of the students, and did much toward furthering the interest of the pupils in their commercial work. Several of the students of this course have received medals, thus showing that they have successfully passed the commercial tests. These medals mean very much to the student, and each one is doing his utmost to reach this goal. As a result, it means that lie has accomplished certain aims in accuracy and speed. In the future, we hope that Wellston High School will be able to pride herself upon the large number of successful business people who have the Commercial Department of this school as their starting point. I’our Sixtu-four SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Mk. Lai sen. Instructor The Science Department, which teaches the subjects of Biology, General Science, Physics and Chemistry, otters a two-fold purpose for the students of W. 11. S. First, it aims to teach its applications in daily life, and, second, it aims to teach the fundamentals of the various subjects which are so indispensable in the practice of medicine, drugs, engineering of all kinds, geology, etc. To the students of physics and chemistry the department offers superior advantages for more advanced work, both theoretical and practical. The department also possesses a growing collection of reference books and equipment equal to that of any high school of similar size in the state. The general course of Biology gives tlie student an insight into the theory of the subject as well as the necessity of a practical knowledge thereof. Since General Science is a required subject, the advantages ottered the student for individual work are limited because of the large number of students studying the course. It is the hope of the department to equip the General Science students as completely for laboratory work as those of Physics and Chemistry. The Science Department keeps step with the rapid development of the various subjects ottered and constantly discards older methods for the better and newer ones being made. Approximately one-half of the students of the High School are enrolled in this department. Tjs-nixjs Or)ti - . Friends and Slade ids: One of tlie major duties of every individual is to adequately prepare for a useful place in society. As students we have constantly visioned that place in the future when we can show our real worth to the world. Today we are students, hut tomorrow we will he a part of that great number of alumni. And it is as students, at these Class Day Exercises when the Statistics, Class History, Will and Poem are given, that 1 wish to tell you that this Senior ('.lass of 1027 does heartily appreciate all that has been done for it during its stay at this school. I wish to thank all those teachers and friends who have helped to make this day possible. Juniors! During our three years of association with you, we have striven, 1 hope not in vain, to uphold the high standards of this High School. We are leaving now, and the responsibility of continuing these will then rest with you. May you uphold them and attain even greater success! It gives me pleasure to extend, on behalf of this class, a welcome to our ('.lass Dav exercises. 1 thank vou. Marion C. Lewis, President of Senior ('.lass. JUNIOR RESPONSE Members of Hie Class of '27 and Friends: In the name of the Junior ('.lass, 1 wish to extend to the graduating Class of 1927 our best wishes for success in conquering the greater problems which will soon confront you. For the past three years we have cherished your companionship and admired your courage and reliability. You have upheld the school in a way that you may look hack upon with satisfaction. On the eve of your graduation, we, the Class of '28, accept, from you, the responsibility of leadership in W. II. S.; and we hope that the end of our Senior year will not find the standards lowered. Again we wish you all the happiness and success that life can give you! Charles C. Callahan, President of Junior Class. Page Sixtg-eight CLASS HISTORY In September, ninety-nine Freshmen entered High School. There was nothing in particular to distinguish them from previous classes. We, however, were very proud of the fact that we were now “Freshies,” and did our best to apprise our betters of it. No attempt was made to organize as a class at this time. All our energies were taken up by studies. But before the year had passed we bad become accustomed to the work and routine. The next year we had attained the coveted title of Sophomores. Our members bad decreased alarmingly. Not dismayed, those left organized as a class. The officers chosen were: Donald Leach, President; Howard Jenkins, Vice-President; and Minnie Mossman, Secretary and Treasurer. Mrs. Reese was selected as Faculty Advisor. And then we were Juniors. We were a fearful strain upon the faculty and the other classes, especially the Seniors. There was no end of strife between us. However, most of the differences were settled at tb( annual picnic. Not all though, because an inter-class basket ball tournament was staged. Here the Juniors showed their supremacy. We were the victors, our opponents the vanquished. As Juniors it was our pleasure to give the annual Junior-Senior reception. Owing to the small number in our class (about forty), much difficulty was experienced in raising the necessary money. For this purpose the class sponsored the movie, “Robin Hood.” The gate receipts were not large enough and other means were necessary. At Mr. Wyman's suggestion, lunch, candy and other refreshments were served at the basket ball tournament. Enough money was received from this to remove the financial difficulty. Then came the actual reception. It was a success in every way. Even the Seniors admitted this. A small play entitled “A Pleasant Surprise,” added greatly to the enjoyment of all present. At last we were Seniors, with all the joys and sorrows of such. As Seniors we undertook to publish Thk X-Ray. The subscription campaign was very successful, a large number subscribing. Candy sales at the basket ball games added to our funds. At the basket bail tournament lunch and refreshments were again served. The result was a substantial addition to our treasury. We hope that The X-Ray will please, as we have given to it our best thought and effort. The annual inter-class basket ball tournament was won by us again this year. A large silver loving cup was given as a reward. Looking back over our four years, what have we accomplished? We have no intellectual giants among us, but we have a good many average students. To athletics we have contributed many. Football, basket ball, track all have drawn heavily from our class. In social events we have tried not to be backward in taking our part. Rings, cards and invitations all created great interest while they lasted. But not one of these has been the topic for so much conversation as graduation. Now this longed-for event is here. We are sorry to leave, yet we are eager to enter the world. It means a complete change of affairs. We, as a class, wish that the change may in no way reflect anything but honor and credit to Wellston High School.

We pause and look back o'er the past; On the triumphs we've gained, And honors attained. And the years that have traveled too fast. Chorus: Our harvest is rich with sweet memories Of days spent in old Wellston High, For to us they are dear and we brush back a tear; When we think of the parting we sigh. But we'll always be true to the old Cold and Blue, So, adieu to you, old Wellston High. From the world let us turn As our hearts sadly yearn For balls where we’ve spent happy hours; What success may be made Will be far outweighed By sweet friendships that ever are ours. —Words. Myra Kelley. —Music, Ada Merle Danis.

Page Set’enlu-eighl Horrible Hoax of Trip Discovered Many Persons “Taken In” Dwight Drier Hornsivoggles The Public MOSCOW. Washday, 1913.— Again tlie gullible public has been made the victim of � cruel hoax. Hubert Dwight l rice, who has been raving, since Christmas time, about a wonderful trip to Arkansas, went no farther than fllen Hoy. This regrettable fact was learned today by a Star reporter who chanced to overhear Dwight’s Aunt Lucille telling of the visit of her little nephew: “Yes, he came on the morning train, the little dear, and walked down Main Street swinging his cane. Oh, he was just too cute for words, lie stayed with me two weeks, and some nights he didn't get in till eight-thirty. I’ll bet he was ga Havant in around at some of them night clubs.” The public certainly must have loose-leaf minds to be taken in by such sky-scrapers.

S. greeted with hilarious shouting the announcement that a class in Chinese Philosophy would be open to them next year. Chinese Philosophy is one of most Interesting subjects that could be placed in the High School curriculum. The course will be thorough, slighting no phase of this profound study. The sayings of Confucius will be u prominent factor. The course will be given under the able teaching of Janies Kirby, the Mongolian Professor. -------o------ We are glad to see that Wld Willis, who started s o m e twenty years ago, has now retired with the comfortable fortune of $50,000, acquired through industry, economy, conscientious efforts to give full value.

Cage Eighty Fragments of a Roaming Tail A True Blue Story by a Bright Green Author It was Saturday in Home. All tin Homans who took baths had done it and were on their way to tin Forum, where Caesar and Flamminius were fining to put on a vaudeville act. “Standing room only” signs had lieen up for forty years and an immense crowd was anticipated (expected� . The crowd was orderly with a few exceptions. Cato was drunk, and Metellus had to be taken out for turning the exit signs upside down. The great balcony was a mess of humanity, and up in the pigeon roost sat I.igarius with a sack of peanuts, which were taken away from him by his playmates. The performance was late in starting because an orchestra member had busted a string out of his lute and they had to wait until he could make another out of his shirt. Finally the curtain was rung up. The house liked this very much and roared with laughing. When the smoke cleared away Caesar and Flamminius were bowing right and left and throwing kisses to the audience. Cnhinus caught one and stung his hands. The second act was no worse than tile first, so the spectators began to appreciate that the act was on the square and the participants (actors) received a round of applause. The curtain was rung down again, but tile applause was so deafening that the management was forced to announce that Caesar and Flamminius would give a return engagement on the Fourth of July, but no clues could be found. Then someone began to yell for the composer and the management was forced to announce that he had bought a railroad ticket for Thebes. Cries of “Crook!” and “Robber!” rent the air, but it was soon sewed up and the orchestra played Kipling's Recessional. On the way out someone swiped a package of Fatimas from IJ-garius' hip pocket, but these were restored when that young man threatened to hit the offender in the nose. -------o------ (TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY) “Closed for the day, owing to funeral of proprietor's wife, and who will carry on as usual tomorrow morning.” (Continued from page !) to Miss Cleopatra of Egyptian fame. The sack contained a pair of ear-rings, six light blue lip-sticks, two dead snakes, a bowl of head lettuce and Mark Antony’s fra-ternity pin. IW. (iriflis says that his researches have shown that these trinkets, with the exception of tile lettuce, were probably carried by Cleopatra in her pockets. The professor cannot account for the head lettuce unless it was put into the sack to keep the snakes •dive, and the snakes, for some cause or other, possibly exhaustion, died. Prof, (iriflis will long be remembered for his researches in Chinese religion. It was his work in this field that gained for him tile affectionate title of “Buddha.” WANTED: Bookkeeper and assistant to club manager. WANTED: Minister of the gospel for lumber camp.

It is not advisable to have a sheepish grin on your face. When you have sat down, do not try to get one farewell peep at your books, but set them on the desk and glance disinterestedly about the room. After the recitation has begun, look the teacher straight in the eyes, but do not hold up your hand. (This might prove fatal.) Page Ninety-six W. C. Robbins for SHOES Ohio Avenue WELLSTON, OHIO J.

None of you are to be found when there’s anything to do. Here I am taking time to hang a picture for you when I ought to be at the office. I should make one of these lazy boys do it. They could, if they would. “Bill, you go get the stepladder, and, Jack, run out and get me the hammer and a nail. Maria, eh, Maria! Marg, go and get your mother. Hurry up, too! Set the ladder over there and—why, my stars, Jack, is that the kind of a nail you expect me to use? That old, bent, rusty thing? All there is, eh? Well, just supposing you skip down and buy some.

Maria, I’m sure you don’t watch the children carefully enough—why some—all right. I’m ready. Bill, set the ladder over there; surely you know that I don’t want it here! Now help me up, Maria, and hold this wobbly, good-for-nothing ladder steady. Hand me a nail and the hammer. Jack. Whew! that one went through the plaster! Another nail. Bill. Huh? What’s that? I forgot it, Maria, honest I did. Give me the yardstick! I can’t remember everything. There! That about right? “Now for the picture—hand it here, Marg. Hey? Can’t find it? Well, of all dumb—say, Maria—expecting me to hang a picture and then forget to bring it. Where’s your memory? Why, if I let myself forget things that way—! “Well, give it here—hand me the hammer, too—that nail doesn’t look substantial enough. Ouch! Oh! My Gosh! (Crash, bang.) Oh! Oh!

Evidently the student, too helpless to reply, remained silent. As I came near the top of the stairs, I heard another voice say, “I cannot, really, I don’t dare.” For a minute there was silence, but I heard the same voice say, It cannot be, for that is impossible.” I recognized this to be Miss Jackson’s voice.
