This year the X-KAY is going to stray somewhat from the traditional yearbook. The hook will he divided into two volumes.

The first eighty pages contain the theme chosen for the hook — “Living and growing together”. 4 Growing Together 5 6 X-Ray 1974 Co-Editors Wellston High School Jill Kibler, Tom Downard Wellston, Ohio Wellston Celebrates Centennial 1873-1973 Wellston, founded in 1873 by Harvey Wells, celebrated its 100th birthd ay in 1973. According to the old history records of Wellston, at one time as many as 10.000 to 20.000 people inhabited this boom town. As with many other boom towns, W ellston was no different having its quota of hotels, saloons, and opera houses. So in 1973, 100 years after its birth, the tow n of Wellston including the schools, civic groups, businesses, and even people from out of town participated in a gigantic birthday celebration which included a week of fun and games. During the week of celebration, the I aw less land was governed hv Joe Saltsman and Curt Hamer with — believe it or not — an iron hall. M r. T o ni B o w m an was the organizer of our Centennial. He is the man responsible for the many parades with the colorful floats reflecting the past and keeping up with the present. Our 1973 Centennial was a great success and unified the town with a hope that the future will he as bright and happy as the past. The successful Centennial will he revisited each year with similar festivities called Ohillco Days. Miss Teresa (Settles reigned oxer the 1973 Centennial festivities. Queens and Court Reign Over Week-Long Festivities. Wellston’s Centennial queens and court reigned over the festivities of the week-long celebration. The Wellston High School Student Council ran a general store with many novelties and souvenirs being sold to the general public. The town was under a cloud of joy and laughter with all people participating in the parades and games. Downtown Wellston was Mocked off for the Centennial festivities. 9 I here were many old fashioned and modern games played during the week. On men’s day the male species of our town participated in such events as pole climbing and puggle stick fights. They wore beards and early century clothing or spent time in the local stockade. On women’s day the local females marched through town on a suffrage march which ended with most women being locked up in the stockade. They entered baking contests and oddly enough a male won third place in the pie baking division. The younger dignitaries in town had their day also. They rode rides, danced in the streets, and were allowed to stay out past curfew. Perhaps the two events which caused the most excitement among the younger generation were the bicycle races and the greased pig contest. Reliving the Past 10 The greased pole climb, puggle stick fights, and bicycle races were some of the main events the people participated in during the Centennial. Centennial Parade—Glimpses Of the Past To keep with the general spirit of the celebration, the townspeople started early in the summer f) reparing for the up-coming festivities. Men, women, and children got into the swing of things by dressing in old fashion garb. The men grew beards a n d mustaches. The women fixed their hair in buns and wore long dresses and sun bonnets. 11 The men participated in the festivities by growing beards. Mr. Bernard McKinniss demonstrates the before and after beard fashion. Also Mr. Bowman, Centennial Chairman, is shown presenting trophy and flowers to queen candidate. 12 The week-long Centennial celebration ended all loo soon. The abnormal curfews, the old-fashion clothes, the beards all disappeared. Sinks became dogged with hair and moth halls were brought out of storage. The Nostalgia Ended Miss Hortense Rhodes entertains during the Centennial queen contest. The love and happiness shared during the week ended in a sky full of fire works. The oo’s and ah's sounded the final end to our Centennial with loads of memories to cherish for the next one hundred years. 13 Mr. Sam Jenkins poses in front of an old fashioned hearse. The Wellston Golden Rockets showed much improvement over past years by defeating Waverly, Oak Hill, Vinton County, and tying cross-country rival Jackson. The Wellston team was coached by an all new staff. The head coach was Jody Michael with assistant coaches Larry Blackstone, William Fife, and Steve West drilling the team also. Wellston has a bright future in Football. 14 Football Team How 1, left to right: E. Colley, S. Jenkins, R. McCarley, S. Hoyd, C. Cockard, I). Mathers, J. Jenkins. Vi'. Perry. I). Picree, S. Stewart.

The Marching Rockets perform many times throughout the year in parades and at half time for fool-hall games. To help perfect their trade, the hand begins training early in July by attending bandcamp at Rio Grande College. This helps to prepare them for the fall marching season. From their first parade of the year — The Jackson County-Apple Festival to their last — Memorial Day — the hand is very active.

A high point of one of the freshmen games was Aria Gilliland's fifteen straight served points. This was against Jackson and helped the Wellston girls defeat the Iron Ladies. The junior varsity was an exceptional team. They lost only one game during the season this to Waverly. The varsity team also had a fine season this year. They received a third place trophy in tournament play. The coach for the girls’ teams is Nancy Kihler. She coaches all girls’ sports. The girl’s team practiced very hard and went to several work shops to learn their trade. These teams have a bright future. There should he a few more trophies in the trophy case next year. 30 Left to right: R. Taylor, K. Olhs. J. K ans. K. Sperhl. M. Kihlcr, A. Jayjohn, M. Rupert, I Leila. Coach Kihlcr. Girls Softball And Gymnastics The girls softball team was also a new attraction for Wellston High School this year. The girls again under the coaching of Nancy Kihlcr split their season with two wins and two losses. The girls looked nice in their uniforms which were the old reserve uniforms for the hoys. The girls gymnastics team is in its second year. Because of the work stoppage they did not compete this year. 31 Row I, left to right: C. Skinner, C. HollingsheaH. V Martin, T. Baker, K. King. I).

Their record for the year was seven wins and four losses. There were nine new members to the wrestling team this year and four veterans from the previous year. Vtellston also had a reserve team Wrestling Team coached by Larry Blackstone. Their record was two wins and three losses. The team went to the tournaments this year for the first time also. Wellston had a good show ing with two men, Jeff Henry and Tony Hatley making it to the semi-finals and Denny Pearce making a win in the finals. Wellston also went to the district tournament for the first time. Although they didn’t have a good showing they showed much promise for the future. The only senior on the team was Doug Mathers which means that next years team will be very experienced. W restling Attracts Interest Row 1, left to right: R. Trivett. B. Exline, P. Rupert, J.

There was one point, however, when quite a lot of static was raised because coach McKenzie released the senior basketball players from the team in hopes of improving the team. This may have caused quite a stir hut it insures a veteran team for next year’s line-up. The reserve team under coach Mullins didn’t fare very well either. Coach Powers freshmen team did win one game as they defeated Ironton by one point. To summarize it was a rather disappointing year for the Wellston Golden Rockets. Basketball Team H as Trying Season Basketball again was disappointing this year. They began the season with high hopes of a brighter future. Coach McKenzie was the new varsity coach for Wellston. There was a small ray of sunshine when Wellston downed Oak Hill by one point. Freshmen Basketball Team How I. left to right: H. Hudson, C. Miller, M. Woods, M. Jenkins. Row 2: Coach Powers, M.

Steve West was Marryin’ Sam and watched many couples cross the threshold of matrimony. The Sadie Hawkins Dance was enjoyed by all who attended. 41 Time Out Teacher’s Strike Our hazard, however, was the fact that we had to make up all missed days and we didn't get out of school until June 14. The Eighth Cavalry rides again. During the early part of the month of February we students got a brief vacation from the daily grind of school work. Our vacation lasted from February 4 through February 18. The town of Wellston as a whole became very active with most supporting our administrators and teachers in their endeavor to better the Wellston City School System. Is this how you leach government Mr. Lin-tala! THANKS AND cooubyt; , OF- HAMILTON 42 Board of Education This year, due to circumstances beyond our control, the X-Ray has omitted the picture of the Board of Education. There are many reasons for this and we will list them as follows: (1) the Board of Education changed hands many times due to elections, resignations, and appointments; (2) because of many special meetings and closed sessions we were unable to set a time when the picture could he taken; (3) the teacher strike altered our publication date. The X-Ray staff would like to take this time to apologize to the Board of Education and list their names as they were June 14, 1974: Lois Hill, President, Allen Griffith, Vice-President, Paul Frick, Roy Hamilton, Paul Childers, and Doris May, Clerk.

Student Government At Play The Wellston Student Council was very active this past school year. The Student Council begins by electing its officers in the spring of each school year. These officers are elected in the spring so that they can plan their activities for the following school year. The president of the student council for the 1973-74 school year was Hex Hol .apfel and the vice-president was Cookie Estep. The Student Council each year sponsors many activities and assembly programs for the student body. They provide entertainment during assemblies at Thanksgiving and Veterans Day, and each year they also give the homecoming queen a bracelet as a token of remembrance of her reign. The Council again staged the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance and initiated a new dance called the Miss-Fit Dance. The council advisor is Mr. Brian Lintala who also teaches government. Their gift to the school was an activity hoard to he placed in front of the school for announcing coming events during the 1974-75 school year. 57 Seniors Of the Month Row 1. left to right: T.

Beginning of the End On June 9, the Senior Class of ’74 entered the auditorium to the traditional “Pomp and Cir-cuinstance’1. The Seniors were marching to attend their Baccalaureate services. According to the dictionary Baccalaureate means the commencement address delivered to a graduating class. There were many distinguished guests at the services — The Reverend Mr. Miller, The Reverend Mr. Davis, The Reverend Mr. Dunn, The Reverend Mr. Hartley, and Father Deville. Father Deville gave the very interesting Baccalaureate address with such comments as “You should thank God for graduating or may he you already have!” It was a very solemn occasion for everyone. An event that the graduating class will rememher for many years. 70 Baccalaureate Class of 1974 The Gospel Bells entertained during the Baccalaureate Service. They were very delightful. The “Pomp and Circumstance” was played by Miss Aria Gilliland and Miss Valleri Crahtree. The services were over and the class of ,74 walked over to the foot-hall field for their last class picture together. Many good-byes were said and off the class went to make their fortunes. Richard Hollingshead and Tony Hutchison prepare to take their final steps in High School. 71 Cherishing Y esterday Theresa Triplett and Tim Saltsman portray the first ears of sehool in a elass da skit. Each year the senior class gets together for one final look at their past. To follow the tradition of past years the Senior Class of 1974 participated in elass day on June 13. Surprisingly many seniors eame hack for this event. The program began with the farewell to the elass of 1974 given by the Junior Class President Kyle Gilliland and followed by the Senior President Dave McKinniss giving a welcome to the seniors of 1975. What proceeded next was the reading of the elass history, bringing to mind many forgotten embarrassing events. Next came a skit depicting the twelve years of sehool featuring Dave Brown’s streak. 72 After the skit the elass will was read, with many funny J 4 and some touching wishes left to many who have to repeat their experience in high school for many more years. Another skit entitled “Let Me Be There” was presented after the class will. This skit featured Pam Heading. After the skit came the teacher awards in which many teachers were honored for their services. Dave VlcKinniss, our senior president, presented the school with the senior gift—a cassette tape recorder. The last event was the class song “We May Never Pass This Way Again” sung by a small ensemble group. Class dav ended with many memories and well wishes for all. 73 Dreaming of Tomorrow The seniors final farewell to HS came on June 14, 1974. This was the commencement exercises. The seniors very solemnly walked down the aisles for the last time to the familiar “Pomp and Circumstance”. Liz Ganz the Valedictorian and Jov Norris the Salutatorian led the procession. The choir performed during the services. Their first number was the “Lord's Prayer as interpreted by Sister Janet Mead. Then our salutatorian Joy Norris gave her address to her classmates and all parents and visiting relatives. The speaker. Dr. James Rogers, gave a very interesting speech on future goals and how the world is ours for the taking if only we reach for it. Miss Liz Ganz ga e the valedictorian address and then the choir sang “Time in A Bottle . The diplomas were given by Mr. Ralph McCormick, Superintendent, Wellston City Schools, and then the choir closed the exercises by singing the class song “We May Never Pass This Way Again . Mr. McCormick then said the famous words, “You are now graduates of Wellston High School . The tassels were switched from the right side to the left side and the graduates cheered, cried, and hugged each other as many sad good-byes were said for the last time. 74 During the commencement exercises many thoughts passed through the minds of the graduating class. hat will 1 do now? Some will further their education in colleges, or technical schools. Some will marry and some will immediately find jobs. All of a sudden they're adults thrust out to help create and then solve world problems. As the seniors receive their diplomas parents are applauding, smiling, some even crying to each other. All are congratulating each other because their child is an adult and made it through the first stage of life successfully. Rev. Taylor. Dr. James Ropers. Mr. Ralph McCormick, ami Rev. Stockman par-ticipatinp in the annual commencement exercise . These are young men and women who are walking across the stage receiving diplomas. They are rejoicing also. They've made it along with their parents help, with their teachers help, and with their classmates help. They arc also sad. They are leaving many securities behind. They are stepping out into the unknown. Theirs is the future, the world and all its promises, and disappointments. It’s the graduating class who must strive to solve what their parents could not. It's for them to decide what to do and then do it with no qualms or misgivings. The class song says, “Like Columbus in the olden days we must gather all our courage and sail our ships out on the open seas. Cast away our fears and all the years will come and go and take us up always up”. It is ours to follow through and live life as it comes and to do it bravely always striving upwards never looking hack and never regretting what we’ve done. 75 Living Today The commencement exercises is the end of one life time and the beginning of a new. The seniors must embark upon a new adventure, a new phase of their lives. They are finished with being idle, carefree, irresponsible teenagers. They must take the first step toward adulthood. Many will go straight to work, others will continue their education in colleges or technical schools. They must live each day as it comes yet strive to meet the future. A whole lifetime of living, loving, caring and just being is ahead of them. The trials and tribulations of a sagging government and a skyrocketing economy are soon to be their trouble and problems. Each individual must meet these difficulties head on. They must live today as if it were to be their last. The future with all its pains and joys is for the taking. Each must decide his own destiny, then fulfill it by living today, cherishing yesterday, and dreaming of the future. 76 Recapturing the Final Moments Our years in high school are very brief but they’re filler! with experiences that help us grow into stronger, more able people. We join clubs and friendships are formed that will last a lifetime. We live and grow together into adulthood while in high school. Our activities help form our future. These last few pages are filled with those memories of past good times. 77 The 1973-74 School Year at a Glance The 1973-74 school year was filled with many memorable events. These happenings began the first day of school and didn't end until commencement was over. Tri-Hi-V had their initiation of new members. The girls went through many harrassments before the final installation was held. Wellston celebrated its 100th birthday and the school joined in by participating in all local events and by wearing old fashioned garb to school. Girls became active in interscholastic sports this year by having a trophy winning volleyball team and a promising softball team. The choir was again active this year by participation in the Thanksgiving assembly, at Christmas and the annual spring sing. Wellston’s student council held its annual Sadie Hawkins Dance and added a new dance the Miss Mis-fit dance. The Hi-Y and student council bought an activities hoard for the school. The homecoming and Junior-Senior Prom were annual events to he remembered. The teachers' strike was a surprise but one that will he remembered for a very long time. The final event which only the seniors can remember with pleasure is the baccalaureate and commencement which was their final goodbye to WHS. 78 The Final Good-Bye Sports in Vi elision have a very bright future. But again all things must end. Fathers' night came and so did senior night for the hand. The big Jackson game with the dummy burning and snake dance came and went also. These are the events that shape our lives. These are the friends we’ve made. This is where our dreams and goals are formed. 79 This school with all its faults is a memory to he cherished and pondered for the rest of our lives.
