The title of our yearbook has proven to be both intriguing and applicable, as well as being endurable throughout its sixty-five years of existance. The first yearbook was published in 1923 by the Senior class. It had a simple construction of one hundred pages containing all class pictures, activities in the school, sports, ads, and a variety of jokes. In 1923, a Sophomore class entitled the first annual yearbook “The X-Ray”, but what did they mean by “X-Ray”? The title probably meant that since an X-Ray allows you to look beyond flesh and right to the bone, that in looking at the yearbook you can do just that and see beyond the structure of the school right to the heart: the students. This idea must have required quite a bit of thought. For this, we give them much credit. In the early years, our yearbook didn’t display the traditional blue and gold cover. Although those were our school colors, they weren’t stressed much in the yearbook except in association with athletics where the writer often affectionately penned the team the “Blue and Gold”. Wellston High School was going through a big transitional period during the time the first yearbook was being produced. The new high school was about to be built, replacing the old one that stood on the same spot where Central School now stands. The new building was a quite modern one for the time. A sketch of the new High School appeared on the second page of the yearbook. As well as a new building, new ideas emerged. W.H.S. saw its second bit of published literature; preceded only by the newspaper, “The Hi-Times”. The yearbook served its purpose. It allowed us to look back into the past and to see the realities of school life then. It also let us see the similarities and differences between school life then and now. The title of “X-Ray” was, indeed, appropriate. STORY BY HOLLY SNEDECOR 8 OPENING Blue and Golden
