From its earliest settlement Wheelersburg has always been interested in education and the welfare of its children. The first school house was built in 1822 and John Young was the first teacher. Later, this gave way to another building which in a short time proved inadequate. ln l845 Jesse Y. Whitcomb was chosen teacher and being a New Englander by birth and an able educator by training, he soon had a sentiment for something better, and under his direction and leadership, a four- room brick building was erected in 1847. At that time, this building was one of the best in this section of the state and gave Wheelersbilrg an educa- tional standing which it has maintained to the present time under the super- vision and direction of the capable and efficient men that have always been at the head of the schools. Among these men was Aaron Grady, who will always be remembered by those who came under his direction and infiuence. As the population increased, and when the demand was sufficient, higher branches were added to the curriculum, and in course of time the school be- came a combined high and normal school, offering training to hundreds that went out to teach. In 1885 the first graduating class received diplomas and some were graduated each year thereafter. When the present able county superintendent, Mr. E. O. McCowen, took the superintendency in 1906, the school had been chartered by the State Department of Education to issue third grade diplomas, and the charter was raised to a second grade in l907. In September of that year, the curriculum was increased to include four years of high school work. Also, during the same year, another four-room building was added and in January, l9l0, the high school received a first grade charter under which it has operated ever since. ln l9l7 the present high school building was erected, giving Wheelersburg a modern, up-to-date, commodious school plant, second to none in this section of the state. But the needs of the community are increasing rapidly, and the old building erected in l847, having served a long and illustrious career, was declared unsuitable for school purposes in 1922, and it will give way to a new. modern, up-to-date. eight- room grade building, to be ready in l924, to help take care of the 700 pupils that are now enrolled. During the past three years, under the excellent administration of the present superintendent, Mr. A. B. Prior, and his capable assistants, the whole school has continued to improve and additions have been made to the curricu- lum and equipment, until, at the last inspection by the State Department of Education, the official report stated that the Wheelersburg school has assumed a place of leadership among the schools of southern Ohio. This is an honor of which we have a right to be proud, and so long as the school is served by a progressive board of education and capable teachers, as it has been in the past, then the Wheelersburg High School will continue to be a leader and not be content to follow. , -. ,--ff-,ln v V ' X 'Xxx xx 4, ii,X Y if Y i gf, in -iw 1 W Q i X Tim, 4 If i f Wi f RAI PH C.

They have been patient and kind and always forgiving, For which we are grateful and voice our thanksgiving. Be it Latin, or History, or Physics, which we hate, They were willing to help us, both early and late: But Orchestra, Law, and Home Sanitation, Were also a source of much aggravation. And after our English, and also our Singing, Was always and ever a study bell ringing: With a teacher to help us and keep us from shirking: We pegged right along and really liked working. So here's to the teachers who guided our school, And to follow life's pathway, have shown us the rule: Whom, as we go out, in life's battles to ight, Just to remember, will help us do right.

CONRAD As We See It It is with no equal amount of courage and ability that we. the Annual Staff, have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of making this. our first annual, a SIICCQSS. Our earnest desire is to so arrange and prepare this book that the community will be more thoroughly informed as to the type of school we have here. and the quality of the students which it sends forth into the world to iight the battle for success and recognition in life. lf we have missed the mark of our desire, it is not the fault of the faithful teachers: it is not the fault of the citizens of the community: but with us rests the responsibility of success or failure. The community has furnished us a wonderful building: the teachers have put forth unexcelled efforts in teaching us the fundamentals of a greater education. Then, if we do not grasp the truth of the situation: if we do not harbor the thoughts of others: if we are not influenced by the experiences of others. we shall die the cowardly death of Ignorance l.et us not look at the past, but rather to the future. and there be in- spired by the work of great men of the past. We can be no more than what we make ourselves. Free-hearted knowledge is one of the world's most gen- erous gifts. Shall we reach the goal of unchallenged supremacy which is open to all, or is the future dim and indistinct in the glowing light of undis- covered phenomena? The world can judge only by the actions of its indi- viduals. Therefore let us wake up and shake off the stern realities of unprin- cipled judgment: grasp the flickering ray of the distant light and follow it to its source where we shall receive the great illumination that awaits us. -THE EDITOR. ., Y 3 ii i' i t 2 - fl 33-,SAT A Qs. S I 1 .fx 53 ,, ,Eid Some 6'Sense and Some uNonsense As a student body, we are very closely connected, in fact, so closely con- nected that when we shake hands, the thrill of the momentary touch brings to us a longing' for something of unlimited strength by which we might bind ourselves together for a life's companionship. - A bit of humor always tends to arouse the laughing spirit, and for that reason we have placed our photographs in this part of the book. lt is quite customary for the Seniors to be ignorant, but in no case what- ever are the lower classes allowed to express that as their opinion of us. Yes! not long ago one of our Senior girls hit a Soph in the eye with the corner of a hymn book and put it out. I-I mean it put his eye out. Such are the daily occurrences, and life goes on, but we sit very still whenever a teacher is spied on the coast. Teachers are all right in their places, but the Lord knows they get out of their places. Of course we're not much afraid of them, but really, and I wouldn't lie if I could, I've seen those green Freshies tremble like a leaf in a hail storm, all the time, expecting to be hit, and almost glad when the storm has passed and they escape uninjured from the dreadful look of 'AThe Faculty. The Sophs are recovering slightly after the first year of tantalizing agony. They have now learned to stare at everything but their books, and of course they cannot look too hard at a Senior. After two years' worry, loss of sleep, and dodging, the Juniors yet realize the fact that the Seniors are their superiors. Of the three classes, we asso- ciate mostly with them, for the simple reason that they are blind-folded to our cause in associating with them, and although it affords us some embar- rassment, we are rewarded by watching their actions in society and by tanta- lizing them about their awkward blunders. We may look at our school as a large factory, a vast work of machinery, with each individual as a part of vital importance. We have started up the ladder of success. To fall now would mean death or serious injury to the Juniors, Sophs, and Freshies, who are beneath us. But listen, inferiors, don't always try to reach your object by starting at the bottom, It is too serious a task. Always start on top when you dig a well. The climate at the bottom is unfavorable. For ourselves, we have retained the dignity and superiority of a Senior. We do not wish to dictate to the school, but it is our earnest desire that the Seniors of future years will retain our organizations, and fulfill them to the fullest extent of their extension. May the Juniors ever feel the sarcasm of the Seniors' jokes, the Sopho- mores retain their soft spirit and staring eyes, and let the fountains flow freely, so that each Freshman may be initiated to his school, our school, Old Wheelersburg High. -THE EDITOR. 1 .1 J ,, -1 IDRS P9 Jw , - Q, . m , A v - f Y I f, .f, U, x 1 , , . , vw' f .'1 4 . ..- c -., , I . .. , Tfyn r , X Wy A .L, 41 1 Wi-,Q 231 .. .Q 'ici :ga .- 3 .

S., and those connected with this wondrous institution. So our history runs- The Excelsior Class Hrst came into existence twelve years ago in the year of l9l2. Will we ever forget that first day? No, never: in the minds of each and every individual member of our beloved class will that first impression of school life be erased from our memory. As we trudged gaily off to school in the eight ensuing years, trials and tribulations, triumphs and victories greeted us until we finally ascended the stairs to the next landing-High School Days. High School Daysf Do we fully comprehend the meaning of these three words? To make the meaning more clear. let us compare ourselves to the Ship of Education. Eight long, but seemingly short years, it took to obtain the material for the construction of our ship.-The Beginning! Pity us as Freshmenl The 'ALittle Green Freshiesn seemed to be our prevailing name. The Sophomores, anxious to reveal their superiority, openly scorned us. The Juniors laughed at us, and the Seniors, alone, realizing our position, pitied us. In spite of our troubles, we soon grew accustomed to high school life. In October we held our first class meeting. Miss McCall was elected faculty advisor: Alma Edwards, president: Maude Wellman, vice president: Golda Schneider, secretary: Eleanor Dold, treasurer. With such a capable crew of oflicers as leaders, we settled down to real work, fitting our- selves for the future Sophomores. XVork, however, was not forever in our minds, for we once had a Wiener roast. Every one enjoyed himself immensely and although-this was our only social event, several of our number showed their ability in another line-that of athletic activities. In a hazy manner our first year waned and at the dawn of the new year, we sailed forward as grand and glorious Sophomoresl As Sophomores, our Ship of Education showed a marked progress in growth. Didn't we think ourselves quite important as we took our places in the Sophomore row and threw mocking glances at our inferior classmenf It was only too natural! Soon after the beginning of school, election time rolled around. At this meeting we elected the following crew to guide us in building our ship of knowledge: President, Vaughn Lipkerg vice president, W. T. Harr: secretary, VVilliam Bihl: treasurer, Emil Schafer, and faculty advisor, Miss Shipton. The first social event on our calendar was a wiener roast and hay-wagon ride. Every one turned out for this event and a regular good time was en- joyed by all. By this time the work upon our ship began in real earnest again, and having pierced the verdant green of our Freshman year, Work, Work, Work! became our slogan until after the final examinations. Again we relaxed from the monotony of constant work, for we sincerely believed in the saying, All work and no play makes Sophomores a dull class, so we gave a Valentine party in Preston's Hall. The hall was beautifully decorated in keeping with the Valentine season and tempting refreshments were served to every member and his particular friend, as a guest. Besides games, an interesting stump speech was given by Mr. Arnold. After having spent a perfectly delightful evening, we left for our homes light-hearted in spite of the constant downpour of rain outside. Our last social event of the year was celebrated April 27, at the home of Ciolda Schneider, where we enjoyed a Wiener roast. Our social activities seemed doomed for rain, as after having roasted most of the wieners, the clouds loomed dark over the horizon, and a constant downpour of rain tried to spoil our good time. However, we were not to be prevailed upon to go home so soon, but spent the remainder of the evening at the Schneider home with music and dancing as amusements. May rolled around almost too soon, as we were enjoying ourselves not only socially but with earnest work. We realized that half of our high school days were gone and our ship growing slowly but steadily. So ends the year. Salute us as Juniors! 'AWho are those distinguished maidens and gents walking with the air of perfect freedom, as if they knew just what to do and when to do it? we hear the under-classmen say. Indeed, we were all of that, and maybe some more, too. We resumed our work upon the Ship of Education in real earnest September l3, when we elected the following crew as leaders to direct our work properly: President, Harlo Compton: vice president, Anna Lange: secretary, Clara Read: treasurer, Howard Riggs, and faculty advisor, Miss Jones. After making the schedules and getting into the swing of school life once more we held a class meeting, and decided to have a Wiener roast on the night of October 6. at Searls' Grove. The evening proved to be a beau- tiful, moonlight one, and a perfectly enjoyable time was had by all who were in attendance. The next question confronting us was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was to be held in the following May. How were we to raise the necessary amount of money to meet the expenses? After due deliberation and much pondering over the subject in the early fall, the discussion was suddenly inter- rupted by a greater excitement, Class rings and pins! Weren't we getting to be busy! One thing seemed to call for another. Well, the rings were ordered and such beautiful ones! How much prettier than those of '23 or '22, and in fact, they are prettier than any we've seen yet. This excitement finally waned and we were once more confronted with the subject of our Money Problem. With Miss Jones' help and under her wise supervision we served lunch at a Teachers' Convention held at the High School on November 25. This proved to be so successful that we repeated the affair the next February and obtained the necessary sum of money. For weeks we worked in preparation for the banquet, and finally on the evening of May 3 at 6:30 o'clock, everything was in readiness. The Class of '23's color scheme of old blue and silver was beautifully carried out me-1-. A 353.1 M55 - ,. ' 54' and the banquet hall which was originally the sewing room never looked prettier. Such perfectly delicious eatsl A good program was rendered and after the delicious repast, a regular good time in the auditorium completed the evening. The Seniors left us that night congratulating us on our orig- inality and saying that the '24's were a band of jolly, good sports, worth much comment. O, horrors! After this the study for the exams began. My, how we worked, but all the while a little scheme lay back in our heads for the crown- ing good time of the year. This finally grew into realization when we decided to take a trip to Serpent's Mound on May 19, the day after school closed. Although Miss Jones objected at first to our going, she finally consented when Emil Schafer guaranteed that no one would carry the mound away, so we started at 7:30 with several teachers as chaperones. Several overloaded machines proceeded on the trip, and despite the sweltering sun and Doty's tire trouble, we almost reached our destination at the height of our glee, when Bunk's Ford fwhich had run out of gasoline at the foot of the moundl had to be pushed to the top of the mound. After eating our well-packed lunches, we investigated the mound, saw the Serpent's graceful curves and took pictures. Upon our return trip to Portsmouth that night we decided to attend the circus, but--. Miss Jones changed our minds. Well, we didn't care, anyway, for later in the evening a storm arose. Thus our third year ended. Our Ship was nearing completion more and more every day throughout the year, leaving only the finishing touches to be added in our coming year. All hail! Vxfe are Seniors! O, wise and upright Senior, how much elder art thou than thy looks! Schedules were scarcely. completed before we met for organization. The officers chosen to oversee the completion of our Ship of Education were: Emil Schafer, president: Anna Lange, vice president: Howard Riggs, secretary: I-Iarlo Compton, treasurer: and William Bihl, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Conrad was chosen faculty member. Soon after class organization, we met and discussed matters pertaining to the publication of an annual. It was decided that the Senior Class of 1924 was to have the honor of publishing the first annual of the Wheelers- burg High School. The staff chosen consists mainly of Seniors, only the under-class reporters as exceptions. This year has proved to be a very busy year for us, owing to the annual work, but nevertheless, we have found time for recreation. In October We enjoyed a wiener roast at Searl's Cirove. This was the first social function of the year, and as nearly all the members were present, a real good time was enjoyed by all. All other parties, however, were eclipsed by the one we held in the High School Auditorium on the evening of March 6th. A com- mittee appointed to make arrangements spared neither time nor labor in mak- i I ing this party a great success. The crowning social event of the season, how- ever, is the Junior-Senior Banquet which will be held in May. This year we intend to give the annual class play on May 16th and 17th. Mr. Prior, as usual, will coach the participants, and owing to its splendid personnel, the play promises to be very successful. At last our high school days are about over. Dear old W. H. S. will soon be a pleasant memory to us, but never can we forget our Ship of Edu- cation which we have now finished. It looms up before us in every under- taking and serves as our key to future success. So now, dear school, we bid you a reluctant farewell. Our ship which is bound for the distant port of Success, has set sail upon the stormy sea of Life and we find ourselves Out of the Harbor, Out on the Deep! -IRENE APEL, '24. ig ff M A 1, PRQPHEC f l AV! 17 num n1l I ' , .nmlllllllllll li will 'veg img , 5 Yiiilryfi 5 ' 'iihfy ciililifyi .

PJ' '93 1 1' DATE - 1940 'lihe passenger ship Lucerne had just sailed into port at the great New York harbor. Everything was in a turmoil. Anxious glances were cast toe- wards the deck in hopes of discerning some particular friend or relative there, while a rush and bustle confronted those on deck. Everyone was so wrapped up in his own interests and enjoyment of again reaching the wonderful U. S. A., with the marked exception of one man. After pacing up and down deck for a while in seemingly due deliberation peculiar to deep thinkers, he suddenly turned as if struck by a forceful thought, hurriedly left the ship and proceeded to the business district, out from Forty-Second Street, on to Broadway, where he finally ascended the steps to the great Waldorf-Astoria. Upon closer observation, he proved to be a distinguished gentleman in the very prime of his life. Clear blue eyes shone from under the brim of the large black hat pulled closely over his forehead as was the prevailing fashion of that time. Perspiration stood on his brow as he doffed his hat upon entering the lobby, and mopping his face with a large 'kerchief, pro- ceeded to register in the great Book. 'AAh, so this is the Waldorf-Astoria! he muttered aside. A seem- ingly real hotel at last! Then turning to the clerk, said, What accom- modations can you give me, please? A six-room suite, bath and all accom- modations on second floor you say? Is that the best you have vacant at present? Very welll It might be worth the twenty-five per day as you say, so I'll try it, and with this he stepped into the waiting elevator, leaving the clerk gazing after him in wonder. XVho was this singularly distinguished gent? His name was plainly visible on the register, 'tis true, but that was not the question. Of all the people who daily entered the great hotel, not one impressed the clerk as this stranger, A'l-ooks like a scientist from abroad, he muttered, and with this tried to dismiss the subject from his mind for the present. at least. An hour had scarcely passed when the man with the foreign aspect, who Class Prophecy---Colltinued had aroused the clerk's curiosity, came thundering from the elevator with fire shining from his eyes. 'ASo, he bellowed, this is the wonderful hotel you run! A pretty place, I'll admit! I lay my weary head on your spacious bed and get bit by 'a la buaglers'-bed bugs, plain bed bugs! I ring for a bottle of champagne and they bring me a bottle of water flavored with soda and fruit coloring! Then I want some ice water. What did I get? Some plain warm water. I call up a relative and that infernal red-headed telephone operator you have there kept buzzing in my ear. So you call that service when I'm paying my twenty-five per day and get insulted? When he had rambled along in this manner for a while, the amazed clerk managed to say, HI'm truly sorry, sir, but you must first consult the proprietor. I have nothing to do with it. You will find him in No. 14. James, he called to the passing guide, take this gentleman to I-I. R. All the while the stranger's anger was rising. Upon entering the prof prietor's office the atmosphere suddenly changed. The proprietor, a short, heavy-set man, looked up from a stack of papers he was inspecting, and with a cheery How-do-you-do? motioned him to a chair. Upon pushing his chair farther from the desk in a more comfortable position, he remarked, What can I do for you, sir? The stranger was amazed! What was it about this man that was so very familiar? All traces of anger had instantly fled. His voice, his actions, his looks, in fact everything about him suggested some old friend he had known long ago. As he said Is there anything I can do for you, sir? the stranger was brought to his senses. Why, no-not in particular, that is-I came to compli- ment you upon your wonderful hotel, he lied. During all my travels abroad. in scientific research work, which has led me to the best of foreign hotels. none have impressed me as this one. !'Thank you: welcome to the grand Waldorf-Astoria, the Palace of America, cried the proprietor, extending his hand in greeting to the stranger. continuing, !'Something about you strikes me as singularly familiar, but speaking of my hotel, I will say, 'Good eats' have always been a great interest to me. I started out by running a restaurant. Then I bought a hotel and by making good at this I moved to New York. Having engaged in the hotel business for ten years, just one year ago I bought this building, in fact, the whole business block situated here, and I have made the Waldorf what it is. Ever since my high school days in the little town of Wheelersburg in Southern Ohio-- What? Wheelersburg? Southern Ohio? interrupted the stranger. Did you graduate from the Class of '24-? You'did, you say? Now. I remember! The moment my eyes rested upon you I knew you to be some- one I had known! he almost shouted enthusiastically. I-Ioward Riggs!-- 'Jiggs'! Don't you know me? 'Jiggsf is right: but I don't seem to recognize you. Your voice and actions are strangely familiar but, -he mused, all the while gazing at him- Ah! Now I have it. Mr. Conrad! No wonder I failed to recognize you. 'V+ ,. QW-1, ,, lg i I f W' 11' F Mm Class Prophecy---Continued Whatever tempted you to wear a goatee, carry a cane, and fling that foreign aspect on an old friend, in disguise? Do I really look foreign? Well, no wonder, he assented. Living with a bunch of Europeans and confined to a laboratory for nearly sixteen years is enough to change anyone's looks. You know, that soon after your graduation, I became intensely interested in scientific research work, and anxious to make a name for myself: a friend and I went abroad to study. Naturally we became interested in our work there and had no desire to come back until we had made good. Now I am a millionaire and have come home to visit my friends. Riggs, that makes me think, he rambled on, 'ADO you know anything of the '24 Alumni members, what they are doing, and so forth? As Faculty Advisor of that class, naturally I am quite interested in them. Well, for several years while I worked near home I knew the where- abouts of them all, but after coming to 'little ol' New York' I have lost tab on several of them. I travel about quite frequently for recreation, mostly, and to my great surprise I meet an old classmate or read about one now and then. This reminds me, I picked up the 'Tribune' a month or so ago and an advertisement attracted my attention. 'Parisian Millinery' it read, and de- voted a half page to all sorts of hats and accessories. I knew this establish- ment to be quite new in New York, but can you imagine my surprise when 'Freda Haffnerf in great big letters appeared as the head lady? Well, I was so surprised and glad to see the old familiar name that I went right over to the establishment: had a long talk with the lady herself, and ended up in buying a hat for my wife which nearly tickled the dear lady to death. She said that Loyezelle Halfner is in Baltimore in one of the high schools special- izing in Physical Education. So, Conrad exclaimed, and you started out by saying you didn't know much about the class! You know, that shortly before I left I had a letter from Schafer saying that he was going to Chicago to study medicine. Do you know, did he finish his course? 'AThe last I heard from Emil Shafer was when I was out West two years ago. I ran on to him accidentally and he told me that he attended the Chicago Medical School for several years and graduated from the Johns- Hopkins in the East, but at that time he was conducting a hospital in Omaha quite successfully. He told me he was engaged to a young lady there, so I presume that they are married by now. He told me, too, that Harlo Comp- ton was recently married and had accepted a position at Yale as head coach in all athletics there. How extraordinary! Conrad exclaimed, as if suddenly waking from a dream. Do you know that when I came to you here my intentions were far from this conversation. -No, I won't tell you what they were, but I'm mighty glad I recognized you when I did. You know the thought just struck me-How about us two going for a trip over to Ohio to see those at home 4 3 l Class Prophecy---Continued again? I'm bound for Ohio and home folks tomorrow, so why not accom- pany me? 'Business is very pressing just at present, but I may be able to arrange it that I can get off. Do you have rooms here? Well, you can just cancel your stay here and go with me at my home on 'Riverside Drive,' and so it was arranged. SEVERAL DAYS LATER VJheelersburgl Change trains for Portsmouth, rang the clear voice of the conductor. At this the train pulled in at a large depot and two travelers, Riggs and Conrad, anxiously pushed through the crowd and off from the platform. The little village of Wheelersburg, quite to Mr. Conrad's amaze- ment, had progressed rapidly during his absence and had grown into a town of approximately five thousand inhabitants. I-Iow about strolling about the place and looking the town over before going to lunch, .Iiggs suggested. So their wanderings began. Soon they found themselves in front of the Western Union Station. That reminds me, Conrad said, looking at the sign Western Union, I intended wiring my folks upon my arrival here. Let us step in, it will just take me a minute. Imagine Mr. Conrad's surprise when entering the booth, he saw no one else but Mary McCarty, busy at work at the farther end! Why, Mary, he cried in instant recognition. What brings you here? Seeing the startled look which she gave him, caused him to explain, Don't you remember one of your old teachers 'way back in High School Days? The same timid Mary as of yore opened her eyes a little wider at this sudden outburst. Reflecting a little in retrospect of School Days, recognition shone in her eyes. Of course she knew him, and after asking and then answer- ing the many questions of Conrad and Riggs, the topic of conversation led to the Class of '24 of W. I-I. S. She told them that she had been a tele- graph operator for some time, after giving up school teaching, and when asked if she was married, replied with an independent shrug, UNO, and what's more, I don't intend to bel--but just to change the subject, Clara Read, who is a stenographer in the C1overnment's employ at Washington, has just ar- rived to visit her parents. I haven't seen her yet, but I suppose you know that she was married soon after graduation. She and her husband are both working in Washington, and from her letters, they seem to be very happy. i'That's exactly what I always prophesied for Clara! Riggs exclaimed. How about Carl Gerlach, Charles Bihl, and some of the rest of them? Well, Carl is a progressive farmer and owns a good farm out on Dog- Class Prophecy---Continued wood Ridge. He seems to be quite successful in his business. too. Homer Hall is teaching History and Science in the local high school, and Nola Lemon is our new Kindergarten teacher. Charles Bihl does a little bit of everything from being a garage man to the owner of the 'Quick Lunch Stand' on Main Street. I don't know any more about the class. They all have gone away and I haven't heard from them. Just then a telegram clicked over the wires calling her away to her work. Having speedily worded the message, the two men resolved to pay Mrs. Clifford Dold Cnee Clara Readj a visit. Clara proved to be the same girl as ever and was overwhelmed with news of the '24 classmen. I had a letter from Irene Apel just before leaving Washington. she told them. She is quite popular in the Literary circles and has almost real- ized her dreams as a noted journalist. She told me that in her travels over the U. S., gathering inspiration for her work, that she had visited Mr. and Mrs. Irwin Doty, nee Anna Lange, if you please! I'll read what she says about it, and pulling a letter from her pocket. found the part she wanted. and read: Well, Clara, you asked me in your last letter if I had heard from Anna Lange. Can it be true that you are not aware of the fact that she and Irwin Doty are happily married and living luxuriously in Memphis, Tennessee? You know that Irwin and William Bihl entered Ohio State University after graduation from our Alma Mater and took up Civil Engineering. They are working together and are getting along famously in their work. O listen! You can never guess who visited me not long ago! Well, nobody than Ruth Fritz, I should say, to be exact, Mrs. Ruth Suter. Shortly before our graduation, as you probably remember, Suter went West. Poor Ruth was nearly heartbroken over his absence, so after her musical education was completed, they were married. He is a Civil Engineer, too, as they all seem to be, and they are now going East where a large dam is nearing com- pletion under his supervision. Ruth, as you know has won popularity in Opera as a talented musician. She and Anna are together constantly, for Anna is equally famous as an elocutionist. Have you heard her yet? She and Ruth both appear in their own company known as the 'Linwood Company' and will be in Washington soon. Take my advice and don't miss the oppor- tunity, for they are wonderful. That is all she says concerning the Alumni members. Have you heard from any of the rest? she asked, looking up. -And again the whole story was told concerning the whereabouts of each one of those whom she was out of touch. I think this limits our program, Riggs, Conrad exclaimed, and looking at his watch found it to be two hours past lunch time. With raving appe- tites and despite Clara's invitation to lunch. the two l'Knowledge Seekers hurried off to sample lunch at the l'Bihl's Quick Lunch Stand with just enough time to catch the 3:30 Cannon Ball to Jiggs' home. -IRENE APEL, '24.

Afraid to move lest they do something wrong, their minds were in a turmoil. This particular Freshman boy was herded with the rest of the awk- ward squad into one side of the room, where they would not get in any one's way. On the farther side of the room sat the dignified Seniors, who put on quite a show of knowledge and power before this terrified Freshman, who thought it was genuine. Every time he went past the Senior row he was compelled to watch his feet, or to gaze innocently into the air, for he knew that to stare at at Senior was worse than breaking one of the ten command- ments. He also tipped his hat to a Senior whenever he met one, until he got over his stage fright. He then discovered that the Senior class was the poorest in quality, as well as in quantity, and was just as big a bluff as any of the others. The Juniors considered themselves above such Hkid tricks as hazing Freshies, so he kept a wary eye on the three or four Sophomores, that, after carefully sizing up the whole class, he considered dangerous. But as the weeks went by and nothing happened he decided that these were bluffs, too, and began to lose some of his sneaking ways. WHAT A FRESHMAN THINKS OF THE SENIOR CLASS Now that the scales have fallen from my eyes, I will take up my pen and write down the truth about the Seniors, so they will not fool any one else. ' They were wise and elected the biggest fraud president. Though Emil Schafer is only a banty, he struts like a Plymouth Rock. As for Howard Riggs, he is harmless, even if his top story is unfur- nished. He has quite an appetite, and has had it so long that now he is as tall lying down as he is standing up. Harlo Compton, who disgraces the position of captain of the basket ball team, wore his arm in a sling for three months to keep out of typewriting. But he got by with it, so there. No use telling, now. Ruth Fritz is wearing black now, and is getting thin and pale. Don't stay away long, Chauncey. William Bihl is noted for his carrot-top hair and his Hat tire. He always runs on the rim of his left hind wheel. The whole bunch of the 16 cylinders of the twin 8 motor of that Senior class miss every time they turn over, and the noise they make trying to pass us up, would kill a deaf man, although he didn't want to die a natural death under the conditions of a blustering mob like the Seniors of W.

With his capable leadership the Orchestra has proven a great success during the four ensuing years. When the Orchestra was first organized both divisions consisted of about twenty instru- ments. Now it has grown to a forty-piece Orchestra, with a greater variety of instruments. Mr. Wood's aim has been to interest the young people in good music and to help them appreciate it to the fullest extent, so that their lives will be happier and more enjoyable. Mr. Wood has always taken the responsibility each year of organizing a new Orchestra. so there are the two divisions, the beginners and those who have been promoted to the first Orchestra, upon whose shoulders falls the work of furnishing music for any school affair preceding the final concert and music for the class play and commencement. They also give entertainments at different places in the county which are always enjoyed by the people. In this way the young people are getting valuable experience which may be of great benefit later in life. The one big event of the year is the concert given by both Orchestras as a number of the Lyceum course. These are always enjoyed by the community and are appreciated equally as well as the other numbers. The Orchestra being known to all schools in the county is a credit to our school and community. It has always been noted for playing the high- est classical type of music, and the popular jazz has not entered into our list. By means of this Orchestra the people have been able to hear and appre- ciate good music. It stands as first in our school activities because of the great number taking part. The Orchestra has a general influence on all the people and students. By this Orchestra music has been brought into our homes where it has not been, many of the students have become able to play instruments where they would not otherwise, and they have learned to work together because co- operation is required. lt has given them new interest and this has made other work seem easier. They have greater appreciation for the great artists of the country and too much praise cannot be given to our Orchestra and its leader, Mr. R. C. Wood. RUTH FRITZ, ' 24. aa,-f.,, , ai. 532223 he A Glee Club MISS VANDERVORT, Directress Among the new organizations formed during the past year was that of the Boys' and Girls' Glee Club, of about forty-eight members. The Club was organized in November, 1923, and has continued faithfully at work throughout the year. In the short time that the Club has been organized the participants have shown a marked progress as possessing real musical talent. Both groups have demonstrated their ability in music and some excellent selec- tions have been rendered. Credit for the success of the Glee Club is due to the directress, Miss Vandervort, who has spent much time and effort in behalf of the welfare of the Club.

They have won the 'AScioto County Rural Champion- ship the second year in succession. The success is due to the fact that each individual player did her part. Anyone who saw the South Webster game at Wheelersburg know what the girls can do without any further detail. It was the most interesting game ever staged in the Wheelersburg gym. Although it was a hard fought game, the Wheelersburg team managed to win and are glad to have won both games from South Webster this year. Miss Clemans, our coach, deserves some praise for her willingness to work and continually drill the girls. In conclusion, the one outstanding reason for success, is that every girl did teamwork. They were good losers. Who says that Wheelersburg High School athletics aren't developing the right spirit? -LOYEZELLE HAFPNER, '24. BOYS The Wheelersburg team started out this year with a problem of develop- ing practically a new team. Only three last year players were back, but Coach Conrad succeeded in getting a large number out for practice, and thus built up a very creditable team. The team seemed to be followed by hard luck the whole season. First several auto smash-ups left several players unable to practice steadily. Despite this, the team started the season off with two wins. Later Harlo Compton broke his collar bone. and Lemaster left school. resulting in the team losing three games. But Coach Conrad again rebuilt the team which succeeded in placing most of its games on the winning side. This team was composed of Hock and W. Bihl, forwards: Preston, center: C. Bihl and Harr, guards. One of the most creditable games was against Otway. Otway had won an earlier'game from W. H. S., but Wheelersburg surprised them in the return game: while the guards held their opponents scoreless, the forwards dropped basket after basket through the hoop. At the end of the first half the score stood 28-O. As a result Otway became dis- heartened and left the floor. The total results of the season favored our entrance in the tournament at Portsmouth. With the return of Compton, W. H. S. won its first game easily. South Webster, supposedly the strongest team in the tournament, played W. H. S. next: W. H. S. surprised everyone by their fine work. It was the lightest team in the tournament, but made up for the lack of weight by speed, accurate passing, and its fine signal work: although beaten 21-18, it was the fastest game of the tournament. The score at the end of the Hrst quarter was 6-3 in favor of W. H. S., the score was 14-12 in favor of S. W. H. S., at the end of the first half, and 17-17 at the end of the third quarter, then in the last quarter W. H. S. scored first, but because Compton was put out of the game for personals, just enough fight was taken out of W. H. S. to let South Web- ster win. But taking everything into consideration, we had a very successful season, winning seven out of twelve games played. -WILLIAM BIHI-. J? , , an L HH GVOOS ,1 J f , .mg . I ' 'ff' If M L-4 ALBERT Sheep HOCK Sheep was the fastest man on the W. H. S. quintet. Besides this, he could dribble, jump, and shoot baskets well, and he always inspired the team with fight and pep. He is considered one of the best all-round players in southeastern Ohio. Sheep could play either at guard or forward equally well. He was chosen on the All Star Team at the tournament for his speed, dribbling, and high jumping. He is captain elect for next year. WILLIAM Cork BIHL i'Cork is without a doubt one of the best basket ball shots in this sec- tion of the state, although not as fast as other members of the team, on account of a crippled leg. In spite of this, he holds a record for individual scoring and for points scored in one season. We know that he could hold his own with any opponent. This is his last year, and his place will be hard to fill next year. ARTHUR t'Skinny PRESTON Skinny was our tall man, towering above all the other players. He started out this season at guard. He was then shifted to forward, and when Compton was out of the game, played center: doing very Well at either position. While at center he could be depended upon to get the tipoff. He will be back next year. HARLO Bunk Compton Bunk, who was captain this year, was the most experienced player on the team. He was a terror to all opposing forwards. He could play any position, having played forward his irst year, center last year, and guard this year. Although out of a good many games on account of a broken collar bone, he got into the games at the tournament. and for his good work was chosen on the HAII Star Team as guard. He will be missed next year. CHARLES Happy BIHL Happy, when playing at stationary guard, could not be beaten. This was his first year in basket ball, and he was not considered as a regular at first, but succeeded in getting into the first games and played so well that he was placed on the team as a regular. In spite of his close guarding. he was a very clean player, seldom ever committing a foul. He also leaves us this year. Besides these regulars, we had a world of good subs, whom the school wishes to acknowledge for their good work. They were as follows: Hart, Doty. McCowen and Schafer. -ATHLETIC EDITOR. ,Big Scorcher NAME NICK NAME DEGREE INTERPRETATION A. Preston ,.,,. .Skinny ...,.. A. B.. . . .... Awkward blunders. W. Bihl ,.,.....,. Cork ...,.... D.

We are sorry to lose her from the team next year, Loyezelle Haffner, center, our star center for the two past years, can't be beat. During that time she played full time in every game, a record of which no other in Wheelersbtlrg High School can boast. Her dribbling in the last game of the season was of such high order that it practically won us the game. Anyone with high aspirations might try to fill her place next year. Next comes Bess Schneider, our old stand by as guard, in which she made a very good record. Owing to her loyalty, her efforts have been rewarded by the Letter Association electing her as captain next year. Here comes a forward who has won recognition as a medium for Clara and Loyezelle, and who has made her share of the baskets. Anyone who doubted Juanita's ability to play on the first team, were convinced that she had the necessary ability when she starred in the first game of the season. The team will be strengthened with her again next year. Elanor Callihan, Elec, may be little, but we always know when she is around, and how we would miss her-if we had a chance-for she is always present. As for quickness, that makes up for her being so small. Whenever the ball comes her way, she is right there. Lorean Pollard, Dick, -a guard: we like her spirit. Not having played basket ball very much, until this year, she made a good showing and more than realized her aim of becoming a good sub. She excelled in girl's guard- ing rules. There is also a word of praise for those on the second team, namely: Margaret Barber, Freda Haffner, Edrie Read, and Louise Lipker, and the others who took part in practice. Had it not been for them the team could not have gotten the results that hey did. These girls also helped out when it came to cheering. They have developed the right kind of spirit, for they kept up with their practice, knowing that practice makes perfect. -LOYEZELLE HAFFNER, '24. s 1 I if NAME Clara Read ,... Juanita Lipker .

They got their great ideas on the matter from the members of the Board of Education, who had had their names carved on a block of building stone upon which they constructed a new school building. Well, the methods used by the different graduates have outnumbered the fifty-seven variety of pickles by a handsome majority. But few of them had been successful. For the sake of Hlling my allotted space, I will tell of a few. First, as I remember, Lew Lang and some ten or eleven others, who received their diplomas the same night Lew was given a sheepskin, hit on the novel idea of endowing the old school with a picture of the Pilgrims going to church. Each graduate's name was written on a card and the card tacked to the picture. This plan was one of the greatest failures of all. because to this day the children look at the picture, read the names, and think the names on the card belong to the characters in the picture. In an effort to engrave his name where it would stand out before gen- erations to come, Lew Smith grew desperate. He borrowed a knife from the janitor and carved his cognomen deep into the top of his desk. But. alasl the hawk-eyed McCowen noticed it. As a result, he put Lew in charge of a paint brush and a bucket of paint and promptly ordered him to have the desk painted within one hour. Lew never has forgiven him. There is one class, however, which did leave its marks. I refer to Roy McClave's famous class of 1916, which is to be remembered for the miniature chewing gum monuments left under the seats Hour yonder in the old brick building--building. The class of 1916 is given credit for the chewing gum because the seats were cleaned at the close of 1915, and since 1917 chewing gum has not been permitted in the schoolrooms. Now comes the class of 1924 with a book containing photographs, testi- monials and what not. Golly, what a wonderful idea. It seems easy and simple to do it, but none of the classes before have been wise enough. Let every hat be removed: let every head be bowed as the class of 1924 comes ebbing, frothing, dancing, edging, frolicking, stepping and progressing from a four-.year course in the Wheelersburg High School. They've done some- thing every living graduate wishes his class had done. They've given to the world Whee1ersburg's FIRST High School Annual. Hats off to them. The chewing gum will remain unseen under the seats, the pictures will hang on the walls and none will take time to dust off the cards of the donors, but the 1924 Annual will be read and reread, and it will be many years before the last one finds its way to a paper bailer. -MCKINLEY H. CMackJ SAUER, '15. 5 The Freslimali Bible ms VIEWED BY THE SENIORSJ Upon arriving at the High School you will know that you have come from the various grades, probably in our own town or probably you have made your first journey on the Powellsville or Junior Bus. Your migra- tion has been made clear, but beyond that, what you know could be written on a postage stamp and still have room for the detention roll, which is quite a considerable roll. You will be met at the various stations by various dignitaries and confident students of the upper classes and other menaces to your future public health, but be crafty! Size up the Seniors before you choose your feed box. Wiser and more prudent people can ne'er be found, and as for brains-well,-they are on the honor roll for it, all, including plenty of backbone. lf you are fond of prunes, size up the Sophs. Fish may be easily caught in the Junior row. Make a definite contract in writing your schedule. Make two copies. Keep one on the desk file and one for yourself, as you may have the mis- fortune to lose it, and horrorsl4But you must get accustomed to hardships. The sooner, the better. Now that you have registered and are partly straightened out in busi- ness matters, there are several pastimes in which you can spend your first days. You can sleep, write to the girls, get acquainted with the water fountain-which the Seniors invariably take it upon their own shoulders to introduce to you--or go down street and loaf at Potts' lunch stand. Class attendance is supposed to start at once, but most people know the meaning of supposed before entering. Be careful in choosing your classes. Never go prepared to a first period class on Monday morning. No one expects you to. The instructor may be afflicted with heart trouble and it may cause serious results, unless it is Mr. Prior. Be careful with your money. Start out to live within your income and then get converted. Don't spend less than 150 percent of your allow- ance. It isn't good to be conspicuous. Don't join anything, although the orchestra is worthy of consideration. If you want to become popular with a circle of folks, show your green principle and everyone will know you. Don't be in a hurry to join any order. It is never too late to join the Detention Crew. If you wish to drop a subject from your course, do it regularly. every week or two. If you want information, ask the Sophomores. They know everything!YY??? Before selecting a doctor, consult a member of the faculty. He may be a doctor himself. When he is able to roll a cigarette with one hand, the education of a Freshman is almost completed. All that is needed is a little training in the essence of argumentation with Mr. Wood about good music. Get over the notion that you are supposed to study when there is nothing else to do. According to home folks, studies are necessary in High School. No one at home will know. Folks with religious tendencies will find excellent oppor- tunities. Be a pride to your friends. If you can't do this, at least be proud of yourself. With these kind instructions, the book is closed for better or for worse. -IRENE APEL, '24. + -auf - 'W' A f4,g...5.fs15u,Lf-Iv---'rr--1'-.,.o t , ,,,f7,,'-V 1 I . u Mae IDRC HJR I BOY EMIL SCHAFER , . .
