In the Year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hun-
dred and Twenty-One, on the eighth day
of September, We, the Class of Nineteen
Hundred and Twenty-live, entered these
Portals of Knowledge. We entered as
most all Freshmen Classes have done from
year to year —that is, through the side
doors to escape the initiation due us from
the Honorable Upperclassmen. On that
morning we assembled in the auditorium
to find out the rooms to which we were
to be assigned and also to let the Upper-
classmen give us the "once-over”. We
were greeted in the auditorium by much
applause and jeers but took these with
a smile to show the Upperclassmen that
we were not the kind to be scared. 1
think many teachers and the other classes
have found out since that day that we
never have lost that characteristic.
After a talk by the Principal and the
Superintendent we were assigned to our
rooms, and from that time ’until about
two weeks later, it was a very funny scene
to see us freshmen looking behind doors
to find the numbers of the rooms or to
wonder absent-mindedly around until
some good-hearted Senioi would ask us

the High School Gymnasium. The Gym t-
was decorated very attractively in the class /A
colors, green .and white. Many games were Ajjj
played and fitting refreshments were serv- j..-’.
ed. making our first class spread a marked
success. -cl1
Day after day passed with the usual B
grind for those of the Freshman Class, and e
from the looks of a great many grade g
cards, it showed that our wonderful class A
was to be diminished greatly. To ask the -An
teachers of the High School the cause of . 'I
their failing, I am afraid would have
brought the following explanation: (1)
Too many pretty girls in the High School;
(2) Too many outside interests, and (last-
ly) Too slight a desire for study. To
all of the lower class men we wish to
leave this kindly remark: “If you expect
to graduate, expect to study.”
On a certain Friday after Easter, our
class was to hold a weiner roast so when
what the idea was and we would tell him first one.
we assembled at the High School to depart
for the place where the event was to be
held, we found that we would have to have
it in the Gymnasium, so our weiner roast
was turned into our second class spread.
This turned out to be even better than our
that we were looking for a certain room.
lie would tell us where to find it, but
when we entered we would find, much to
our surprise, that he had steered us to
the engine room. After the boys had re-
ceived their initiation and all the girls
Much enthusiasm had been shown in the
class for many weeks due to the fact that
had made friends with all the good-look-
ing Senior boys, they found out that this
was not going to be such a bad place after
all.
We went through the first semester as
our class had its mind made up to win the
Field Meet, but when it was over, it look-
ed as though someone had changed our
minds for us. because we were last in the
well as could be expected of a freshmen
Field Meet, having a total of 22 points.
On May 25 we held a meeting to decide
whether our class would be represented
at the class picnic to be held at Buckeye
Lake on June'9. All were in favor of our
class and then we were told by Mr. Hick-
tw* son that we should assemble in the audi-
torium to elect our class officers. There
M-Pj were about two hundred freshmen as-
\vJ seinbled and the meeting was called to
rajn order. Miss Mary Margaret Lehew acting
as chairman. Those who were elected to
a- take charge of our wonderful class were:
ttx President, Francis King; Vice-President.
(Q\yl George Martin; Secretary. Dorothy DeLan-
cy an<l Treasurer, Virginia Radebaugh.
/k Mr. Marquis was chosen class advisor.
AZ/ On March 15 and 16 we held two other
HI meetings, in which we voted for our class
la I colors, our motto, and our class Hower.
Green and white were chosen for our class
"■jED colors, “We lead—other follow” was select-
9ed for our motto, and the sweet pea was
chosen as our class flower.
On the night of March 31 the class had
their first class spread which was held in
going so we decided to be out for the good
time. Raymond Roop was the chairman of
this picnic, and many thanks to Ray for
this was one of the class successes of the
year. Swimming, dancing, boat riding
and all the other amusements furnished at
this resort kept us all busy. Thus ended
our first year in Old Lancaster High.
On September 8, 1922, we, the class of
'25. came back to these Halls of Wisdom
to begin our second year of high school
work. Many of our old school chums were
here to greet us, but many of them had
left this place to make their own way in
this wide, wide world. Our class had
diminished in size, but many new students
came and entered into the roll of the Soph-
omore classs. We had a meeting on Octo-
ber 4 to see who should pilot the “Soph-
omore” through the rough seas of 1922.
Robert Veidt was chosen “captain” of the
ship, Dorothy DeLancy was chosen “first

SENIORS

made”, Harriet Trimble was chosen “sec-
ond mate”, and Brooks Maccracken was to
have charge of the fuel, in other words,
the money. Miss Portner was chosen to
advise us' upon which course our good
ship should go. These officers promised
to m ike our Sophomore year one oi our
best years in these Halls of Fame and it
surely was one of our best.
On Friday evening, November 10, the
class had their first parly of the year. At
this party we had as our guests, Professor
J. J. Phillips his wife and daughter. This
party was a huge success, due to the fact
of Mr. Phillip’s presence. We found out
at this party that our new superintendent
was a jolly good sport, and I’m sure that
Mr. Phillips found out that the class of ’25
was always backing him up in everything
that he undertook.
Our class was well represented in the
class basketball tournament, so that it
made the rest of the teams step fast to
win the championship. We also had sev-
eral representatives on the varsity basket-
ball squad.
Things went along as usual, with some
failures and some successes, but the class
as a whole was always on the top. On
February 21. the Class had a theatre party
at the Hippodrome theatre where they wit-
nessed “Silas Marner,” a book which at
that time was being studied in our Soph-
omore English classes. Following the play,
we enjoyed a “feed” at Antill’s. If you
don’t think this party was a howling suc-
cess ask the manager of the theatre.
Field Day came around the second time
for our class, but we had the usual jinx
with us and came out at the small end of
the score, but our boys and girls who had
entered, proved that they would show
great opposition to the other classes in
our next two years.
Nothing much happened during the re-
mainder of the year, except the usual ex-
citement that comes with the final exam-
inations, so that on the last day of school
our class had their annual picnic at Buck-
eye Lake, thus ending our second year in
dear old Lancaster High.
Again we are entered into these Halls
of Fame as the Junior Class Our Class is
still large in number, though many of our
old pals have left us. We held our first
Junior Class meeting a week after the
school work started, to elect the officers
for the Junior year. Jack Stover was
elected president; Raymond Roop, vice
president, Annabelle Witham, secretary
and Pauline Moody, treasurer. We had a
meeting later on to decide what kind of
pins and rings to have for our class, and
after much discussion, we found out what
kind we wanted and then got them about
the middle of November. Our class ad-
visor, Miss Portner, notified us that she
intended to resign. We tried to persuade
her to keep her exalted position, but she
refused and we got in her place “That
Red-headed Gal,” Miss Griffith.
We decided to have our first Junior class
party and on February 8 we assembled at
Frances Turner’s home where our party
was held and enjoyed immensely.
Our class selected as their first class
play "Esmeralda” and ibis was one of the
best plays ever produced by a Junior class,
and it showed that in the Senior year out-
class would be capable of putting across
plays that would attract attention.
On May 15, the Junior and Senior classes
assembled at the Elks’ Home where the
Junior-Senior Banquet was held. This was
our Class’s most successful event.
After our “exams” we all looked for-
ward to our last social function and on
May 30 we held our class picnic at Buck-
eye Lake, thus ending our third year.
At the beginning of our Senior year,
Jack Stover was again elected president of
our class, John Rauch vice president Ruth
Kneller secretary, Beulah Scott treasurer,
and Miss Vlerebome class advisor.
Nothing much has been going on in the
Senior Class this year, because everyone
is trying his best to graduate.
I am the first one who has ever had the
honor to write the class history of a class
that graduates in caps and gowns. It is
also the largest graduating class ever pass-
ing out of this Hall of Fame, where other
graduates who have made a name for them-
selves and their Alma Mater have received
their diplomas.
Our first Senior class play was a marked
success and we are sure that our last play
will be also. We wish to take this oppor-
tunity to thank Miss Portner for the hard
work she has given us in coaching our
plays.
Our boys won the interclasss basketball
championship and we had four boys and
five girls on the varsity teams who made
their letters this year.
After many years in this great school,
we have found that it is going to be hard
to leave it, but now our evolution through
these four years is completed and we shall
go forth to bring honor and praise upon
the name of our dead Alma Mater. We
have been taught that our best efforts is
all that life asks of us, so now we shall go
forth into this broader life.
The Class of '25 has put forth its best
efforts to get the best results so now we
bid adieu to all our associates in the lower
classes and to the faculty who have strug-
gled with us these four years. We hope
you all find in the class of 1926 a class
who will endeavor to follow in our re-
nowned footsteps.

Will
We, the members of the Senior Class of
1925, of the high school of Lancaster, in
the County of Eairfield and State of Ohio,
being in our twelfth year (or more) of
student training and therefore being of
sufficiently educated, developed, sane, and
supercilious minds and memories, and
wishing to dispose of all of our possessions
and chattels and desiring to transfer our
cares and responsibilities, do therefore
make, ordain, publish, and declare this to
be our last Will and Testament, hereby re-
voking and making null and void all oth-
er last Wills and Testaments by us made
heretofore:—
First: We give, devise, and bequeath to
our Alma Mater our everlasting love and
fidelity, and do hope that in the years to
come sin may profit by the services which
we have rendered her in the past that our
standards of scholarship, our school loyal-
ty, our athletic ability, and our original-
ity and vim may not be lost to the school
through our graduation, but may be pass-
ed down to other classes as an example
of high class attainment.
Second: To the Juniors we devise such
of those possessions of ours as have made
us a successful Senior Class, namely: the
patience in study now possessed by Laur-
_ etta llalderman, the athletic prowess and
light of Genevieve Foreman, the musical
touch of Dorothy DeLancy, the Latin
€knowledge of George Martin the scientific
V. ability of Charles Pearce, the debating at-
Tn tack of Frank Johnson, and the labors of
John Work. We do also bestow upon
them all rights, privileges, and duties to
ZE our numerous beaus and sweethearts,
t i f (such of whom as shall continue to grace
\ , I these halls of beauty in the next year) be-
lieving that as dignified Seniors they may
sS better impress the pretty ones with their
importance. We do make, constitute, and
appoint the matrimonial experts of Lan-

and privileges for this particular clause, 1
subject only to the advice, consent, and
direction of our executrix hereinafter h!1'
named to see that all mating is done to
the best advantage of those concerned.
Third: To the Sophomores we bequeath
the dramatic ability of Helen Roby and
Darrell Crumley, in the belief that with
such aid and favor they may produce a
play worthy of our respectful esteem. We
do also donate to them the loud socks so
conspicuously adorning the extremities of
certain of our supposedly dignified Sen-
iors, as the material from which to make
their class banner, and the brililant dia-
mond so ostentatiously worn by Ralph
Hammitt in this year’s minstrel as an add-
ed adornment for their class pins.
Fourth: To the Freshmen we give such
of those possessions of ours as will aid
them upon arriving at the lofty position
of wise young Sophomores, namely: the
intelligence of Jacob Molar wherewith
they may increase their intellectual status,
the grandiloquent and pompous air of
Rosslyn Cline to properly adorn the intel-
ligence, and the wardrobe of the Rade-
baugh twins wherewith they may more
gloriously enter the sacred precincts of
polite society. Having bequeathed which
we extend to them our hearty good wishes
for a successful initiation of the incoming
Freshmen.
Fifth: To the aforesaid incoming Fresh-
men we bequeath the camouflaged flivver
now possessed by the Stover-King corpor-
ation as a means whereby they may trans-
port themselves to their first weiner roast,
which we hope will be a howling success
in true Freshman fashion.
Sixth: To the Faculty we bequeath all
rights and privileges to the human dic-

tionary and encyclopedia, Wilber Scott
) Stammler by the use of which they may
the more easily solve their cross word
fi puzzles.
Seventh: To our patient janitors, Mr.
White and Mr. Franklin, we give our sin-
sQ cere thanks for keeping us clean, warm,
and healthy during our stay in these halls,
for we may truthfully say that the dirt
was efficiently scooped up every day, that

copy of the volume entitled “Perfect Be-
havior.”
Eleventh: To each of the younger mem-
bers of Hickson, Smart and Johnson fam-
ilies respectively, we bequeath one rubber
shooter in the belief that through the free
use of which their affectionate parents
may return to school more hardened to the
attacks of paper wads, erasers, and chalk,
and more skilled in the arts of punish-
ment.
Twelfth: To Miss McCoy, the friend of
the Seniors, we bequeath the playthings
of John Rauch which se as so wistfully
Eighth: To the Board of Education we
bequeath the onetime plans of a new high
school as a memento of that sweet dream,
while we do earnestly hope that some day
the dream may become a reality.
Ninth: To Supt. Phillips. vulgarly
known as “Soupy” we bequeath the ban-
ner which formerly advertised our supreme
opertta, “The Maid and the Middy” as a
belt wherewith to uphold his balloon
trousers.
Tenth- To Paul Unks we leave two dol-
lars ($2.00) with which to purchase one
admired in her F section, and we hope that
as a competent judge of the Senior classes
of the past years she may place us high
in her recollections.
Lastly: We make, constitute, and ap-
point our esteemed Minerva, the perpetual
overseer of these halls of learning, to be
executrix of this, our last Will and Testa-
ment.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto
set our hand and seal this 21st day of
May in the year of Our Lord, One Thous-
and and Twenty-five.

McClanahan and Grace Ulmer tell a series
of short stories every month to grandmoth-

ond childhood and they give all the money
they make to the poor.
Dorothy D. That surely is a fine work,
but it is no better than that taken up by
Midge Grimm and Midge Dittmar. They
are both nurses out at the hospital and
don’t even know the difference between

and Rosslyn, why Hattie and Guy. Do
come in. all of you. I’m so glad to see
you brought your cornet.
Helen R. Yes, hello everybody. We ex-
pected to be here sooner but we were
stopped by an airplane wreck’.
Hattie Z. Yes, you see Ray Roop tried
to do a fancy dive as a lesson to his avation
students and well, it didn’t work.
Rosslyn C. I’ll say it didn’t work. His
whole class including Leo Woeher, Jake
Molar, Alice Myers and Mary Schneider
all went out to watch him and after he
got up so high they all rushed to their
airplanes and followed him.
Guy R. You sec, there was a bunch of
’em on their honey moons hiding in the
planes. In one Scotty Foreman and Nor-
man went on their way to married bliss
and all the rest.
Helen R. But did you see who was in
the other two? In one there was Doyle
and Lillian and in the other Georgia and
Merrill stood up and waved at each other.
Alice H. Really? We’re sure they suit
each other but did you know that Harriet
and Shromme couldn’t hit it off together.
Hattie Z. Yes. we saw them on opposite
sides of the street and looking as mad as
hornets.
Alice H. Oh. well, enough for that.

you play something for us?
All Oh, do play something.
Dorothy D. Plays.
Alice H. Oh Dorothy, that was fine!”
John. W. “I'll say it was fine!”
Hattie Z, "How do you know? I don’t
believe you know the difference between
music and plain noise, besides what is it
to you that Dorothy plays well?”
John W. “Nothing more than that I’ve

Dorothy D. “Yes, you have! But do

Hattie “Since we’re on the subject of
music-—did you know that Rachel Belle
Ricketts is a second Galli Curci?”
Rosslyn “Huh?”
Helen R. “Yes, I’ve heard her sing and
she is good too. You see Edwin Davies
got the job of being her business manager.
I guess she treats him awfully.”
Guy “Without a doubt! Did you know
that Ruth Kindler and Lucille Walters
had formed a company of musicians?”
Rosslyn “Yes, and they have a regular
show too! Joe Rockey and Bob Acton are
end men with solo parts and Edna Risch
and Annabel Mills play the part of vamps.

Under the supervision of the Y. W. C. A. officials a Girls Mixer
Meeting was held on September 18th, 1924. About two hundred girls
attended this meeting. The purpose was to make the Ereshman girls
acquainted with L. H. S. and all of its good times. The welcome was
given by Mr. Hickson. The new teachers in L. H. S. for the year ’24 to ’25.
Miss Clark and Miss Richards were introduced by Miss Perfect. The
t'heers and songs were led by Miss Howey of the Y. W. C. A.

jJiflixer
p'or the purpose of furthering good fellowship among the freshman
and the upper classmen a boys mixer meeting was conducted by the Hi-Y
on September Sth, 1924. Two hundred boys attended this meeting. The
chairman was Brooks Maccracken who proved himself worthy as he al-
ways does. Mr. Hickson gave the welcome address. Mr. Wallace and
Mr. Wilson both gave line talks to the boys. The boys sang high school
songs and gave yells and so made themselves thoroughly acquainted with
L. 11. S. But what they liked most of all, and I guess none of us arc ex-
ceptions, were the good eats that followed.

The Purple Pepper was founded in October 1924 by John A. Stover
and Frank Lancaster Johnson.
The aim of this weekly has been to place before the student, body all
the news of the school, all incidents of interest and clean humor.
These subjects have been worked out in various ways with the hope
of producing greater interest in the paper and we think that to a certain
extent we have succeeded. However we have not been as successful as we
might have wished because our aim was high; we wanted everyone in
L. H. S. to be a regular purchaser of this paper but such is not the case.
However we fully appreciate the fact that this year’s work has made
Purple Pepper an integral part of this school, and as such we want it
to continue.
The staff has worked exceedingly well each one being vital Iy interes-
ted in each isue of the paper and desiring improvement for the next. The
faculty also has shown great interest in this work.
The Class of 2o can lightly be proud of having been the pioneers of
this successful enterprise.

The Hi-Y Club has become one of the most nationally known organi-

C. Smart and it has done some very fine thing’s the past year. The Hi-Y
had charge of the First Annual Father and Sons Banquet and the Boys’
Mixer Meeting. The most worth while accomplishment of the club during
the past year was the conducting of the Vocational Guidance Campaign
through which the students heard many educational talk's and the boys
received the privilege to have an interview with any of the speakers who
were:—Rev. Clayton Robertson, ministry; L. G. Silbaugh, law; W. W.
Graf, engineering; R. A. Walkey, manufacturing; Adrian Fuller, jour-

for all of the “’thuse meetings” and athletic events of the past year, and
in the Second Annual Rex tie presented a program of several fine numbers
A much-deserved honor was accorded the band when Mr. Wainwright
of Fostoria, Ohio, chose six of its members to play in his All-State Band
at Memorial Hall on December 30th, 1924.
Mr. Wainwright was director of the Fostoria High School Band which
won the National High School-Band Contest at Chicago in 1923. Fol-

Because of the great number of girls wishing to take part in the
Girls’ Glee Club this year, Miss Secoy was forced to divide the club into
two groups, namely, the Junior-Senior and the Freshman-Sophomore
Clubs. 1 he Junior-Senior group has studied music entirely different from
that studied by the Freshman-Sophomore girls, and great praise is due
Miss Secoy for her untiring efforts with both organizations.

One of the new and unusual musical organizations of the past year in
Lancaster High School was the Boys’ Vocal Quartette which met with
great success in its career. This quartette, organized early in the year,
was composed of Walter Obcrdorfer, 2nd bass; Loren Graham, Istbass,
Clinton Cloud, 2nd tenor, and Guy Rockey, 1st tenor. Their initial ap-
pearance was made at the Second Annual Revue given b\ the Bojs G

After this the quartette was in great demand not only for school

DEBATE
i^nnntary Bvbating

■
Through the efforts of this year’s debating teams an Honorary De-
bate Society was formed on the evening of April 23rd, 192o m Room 41.
The object is to have an Honorary Debating Society for L. H. S. with only
those members of teams which debate class A high schools being eleg.ble.
The charter members are the first debating teams of this year, composed
of Brooks Maccracken, Helen Roby, Frank Johnson, Wilbei Stammler,
Evelyn Robb, John Work, Paul Henry and Relva Boyer. This society
will hold an annual banquet at the end of each year that the old members
can become acquainted with the new debaters. We believe this is a good
step in advancing the prestige of debating and that this organization will
become a credit to our school. Much praise is due to Wilber Stammler
and Frank Johnson for originating this idea.
As this year’s debating teams have organized this society so they have
the honor of selecting the insignia of this society. They have chosen pins
as the honor. These pins will only be given to those students on the de-
bating teams who belong to the society and have debated class A high
schools. This pin has been selected as the standard and all of those who
are privileged to receive this honor in the following years will get the same
kind of pins. 1 hus the pin will be an honor anyone should want to
possess and we feel that this should persuade more students to go out for
debating next year. We have just ended the most successful year of de-
bating that L. H. S. has ever seen and feel proud of having won the
triangle. Through the excellent coaching of R. C. Smart we feel that L.
1-1. S. should produce another such good team next year and so retain the
laurels of debate in.-L. H. S.

does not detract from the credit
to get a better coach than R. C.
Along with all the praises given to
the members of the debating teams,
who recently concluded the most
successful season in the history of
Lancaster High School, let us give a
certain amount of praise to R. C.
Smart who coached the teams. Al-
though he could not speak from the
platform yet he gave the teams no
inconsiderable aid. Let us remem-
ber that some credit must always go
io the man behind the scenes.
R. C. Smart this year had the most
successful teams that he ever put on
’he forensic platform, either at Gal-
ion or at Lancaster. This was due
to the fact that five of the eight de-
baters were veterans, namely, Wil-
ber Stammler, Brooks Maccracken,
Frank Johnson, Relva Boyer and
Evelyn Robb.
Nevertheless, the fact that he had
experienced material to work w ith

Recently I read a beautiful poem, the first stanza of which I quote:
“Work, work, work,

Such is the life of a debater. If there were but one term that I would
be permitted to use in characterizing the debaters of L. II. S. it would be.

Boyer as alternate made up one of the best affirmative teams produced by
L. H. S. Their first debate was at home on February 13th, when they
defeated Circleville 3-0. The next debate, this being in the semi-finals
was at Portsmouth where this team journeyed on February 27th, and were

worked together better. Wilber had the fire, Helen the sob-sister stuff,
and Brooks the calmness. So without a doubt this team deserves much
praise in helping L. H. S. win the triangle for the year 1925.

to give L. H. S. honors in debating. The negative first debated at Wash-

“Tweedies,” a comedy by
scion of the blue-blooded
Tweedie, daughter of the
“HKueeblesJ’
The first Senior play given this year was
Booth Tarkington. It is the story of Julian,
Castleburvs, who falls in love with Winsoia
oldest family in a Maine village. ‘ The Tweedies esteem the name because
it has been rooted in the community for two hundred years, and they
look down on the “summer people” with the vigor that only summei
boarder” communities know. The Castleburvs are aghast at the possi-
bility of a match, and call on the Tweedies to urge how impossible such
an alliance would be. Mr. Castlebury laboriously explains the barrier of
social caste, and the elder Tweedies takes it that these unimportant sum-
mer folks are terrified at the social eminence of the Tweedies.
Tweedies generously agree to co-operate with the Castleburvs to pre-
vent the match. But Winsora brings her father to realize that in reality
the Castleburvs look upon them as inferiors. The old man is infuriated
and threatens vengeance, but is checkmated when |ulian unearths a num-
ber of family skeletons and argues that father isn’t a Tweedie, since the
blood has been so diluted that little remains. Also.

production and were forced to endure several misfortunes at the last minute, but in
spite of this, the success was unquestionable. The Revue was divided into three
parts, the first being entitled “The Frolic of the Jockeys.” As the curtain rose, there

avoiding the Count. But eventually the latter arouses die suspicions'of
Evans and Fitz, two officials of the club, who undertake to look into'the
matter. Meanwhile the regatta has taken place, and a general assembly
of all the party to congratulate Valerie the unexpected winner of the race,
affords an opportunity for the Count to denounce Billy. Billy tries to
defend himself and promises an explanation, but sentiment is against
him and the scene closes with a display of bravado from Billy and a
feeling of distrust on the part of his new acquaintances, not to mention
the downright sorrow freely expressed by Valerie.
Act 11 takes place in the interior of the club house. Billy’s affairs
are not permitted to disturb the plans that have been made for enter-
taining Captain Dasher and the other guests. A vaudeville has been
arranged for the evening and under the capable direction oi Exans, is
carried through with success. Meanwhile, Valerie, who has appaiently
reflected on Billy’s predicament and decided that the matter cannot be so
serious as it as been represented, shows a tendency to put nunc tail i

He told about the different kinds of work

He presented his work as a man's work in

TEACHING
Our superintendent, Mr. Phillips, told us
what is most in his heart. He defined a
good teacher and how to be one. Mr.
Phillips has been in the school work for
many years and is certainly a successful
example.
Dr. Mondhank traced medical science
from the beginning of time. Surely a pro-

as a life work.

Mr. Johnson, real estate man, talked on

FOOT BA J. I

Lancaster High School’s football season was not the most encourag-
ing but we may in many ways condone the rather poor showing that the
team macle. In the first place the boys had a hard time getting into the
swing of things. The first few games were discouraging because the
team itself lost heart, but before the season was far advanced the boys
caught the true spirit of athletics in the school—not to win games, merely,
but to show a true sportsman’s grit, and from that moment on, although
games were often lost, yet the team fought bravely till the final
in every contest and no one could ever say that Lancaster
always play a clean, plucky game of football.
We had a team composed mainly of lower classmen
playing their first season at football. We played against

\\ ELLSTON—September 27
Tn spite of a brave fight the Lancaster
boys, outweighed almost ten pounds to the
man, bowed to a 34 to 13 defeat before
Wellston in their opening game at Miller
Park.
Wellston scored early in the game, the
ball being carried by Krtiscamp after sev-
eral big gains through the line. Most of
Wellston's scoring was done by long runs,
Kruscamp’s of seventy yards in the third
quarter being the largest.
Lancaster tried every means of attack
without avail until in the last quarter for-
ward passes brought two touchdowns. Re-
ceiving passes from Haines, Veidt carried
the ball over the line twice. At other
times during the game Haines passed to
Veidt for gains of 15. 20 and 25 yards.
COSHOCTON October I
The team went to Coshocton with fire in
their eyes. For a long time they seemed
destined to another defeat. In the second
quarter Elder of Coshocton kicked a goal
from the 28 yard line giving his team their
only score.
The third quarter passed without either
team scoring. In the last quarter Coshoc-
ton forced the ball to om five-yard line.
Then when our chances seemed smallest
Keeley broke away for a twenty yard run
around end. On the next play Haines
passed to Veidt for thirty-five yards. Safe
in Coshocton’s territory Lancaster finally
carried the ball to the 15 yard line. Then
Haines shot a pass to Noice who ran over
the goal for our only touchdown. A few
minutes later the game ended with the

NEWARK—October 11
Lancaster was defeated 33 to 0 by New-
ark on a hot Indian summer day. Newark
scored in each of the first three quarters
and twice in the last. The charges of
Brickies contributed largely to our defeat.
The third Newark touchdown was made by
him on an 80 yard run.
This does not say that our boys did not
put up a good fight. Keeley especially-
played a good game. He made several end
runs and large gains and did well on line
plays. His most outstanding work was his
punting. Lancaster’s aerial attack failed
sadly in the Newark game. The visiting
team had too strong a defense for our boys
to make very heavy gains by any attack.
PORTSMOUTH—October 24
Lancaster entered this game against
heavy odds and a heavy team. Since
many of our regulars had left the team we
began the game with many new players.
If a team can ever be glorious in defeat
Lancaster was this day. The first quarter
our new line never gave in, but the strain
proved too great and we suffered a defeat
which seemed inevitable under the cir-
cumstances. Among the new players who
fought so pluckily against Portsmouth
were: Baumgardner, Reed, Fisher and
Moore. Before the game an airship of the
Scott aviators dropped the ball wrapped
with purple and gold streamers upon the
field.
The final score was 73 to 0.

game; indeed, they outplayed Westerville

MT. VERNON—November 27
The Thanksgiving game was played away
from home and was the last one of the
season. The game was played mostly by
straight football although Haines made
several successful passes, the longest one
being the last play of the game. This
pass was caught by Veidt, who made 38

first half with a second-string backfield,
but their strongest players were sent in

Six of our boys, Acton, Veidt, Keeley,

were left, and Veidt, a seasoned athlete made the team easily and proved
to be a strong- guard. Under the leadership of Harry Keeley the team
got a fine start and won game after game. We met our match in Newark,
however, and bowed to our first defeat.
The team made a two-days’ trip to Mount Vernon and Lima and re-
turned after having played two of the best teams in northern Ohio and
beaten them both. This was the longest trip a Lancaster High School
team had ever made and is an event in school history.
After the Lima trip, our team was badly crippled by the illness of
Lantz and Veidt, and the showing made the last part of the season, al-
though very creditable, was not so remarkable as that made before th
mid-year examinations.

This game was a decisive victory for the

The girls’ team suffered more by graduation than the boys, but never-
theless they began the season with a strong team. Anne Murtaugh had
been selected as captain and was very capable in that position.
Although the team did not make any record equal to those of the
two previous years, nevertheless it upheld the reputation which the girls’
basketball teams in Lancaster High have earned. It lost only three
games during the whole season, and all these three games were lost to
teams which we defeated at other times during the season. Westerville
defeated us early in th seeason but we got revenge on them at the Armory.
With the Plains and Coshocton also we broke even.
One of our most important victories was over the Alumnae team
which was composed of the stars of several teams which had won cham-
pionships for L. H. S.

COSHOCTON____January 9
Although they were facing a veteran
team the Lancaster girls got an early lead
on Coshocton which they increased until
they defeated their rivals by the decisive
score of 34 to 10. Our team showed them-
selves superior to the visitors at every
stage of the game.
WESTERVILLE—January 16
This was the first defeat for our girls
teams for a number of years and it was a
rather crushing one too. Westerville
kept on piling up points until at the end
of the game they stood 18 to our 8. Our
team scored three baskets, one by Mur-
taugh and two by Moody.
NELSONVILLE—January 23
Lancaster held her opponents in the hol-

Every one agrees that the Freshmen-Sophomore tug-o’-war of 1924
T? was the best one that has ever been held. Altough this success was due
especially to the splendid organization and hard work of the two teams,
a large part of it may be attributed to the interest taken by the whole
school in the event. On September the twelfth, after school closed, the
entire student body—or most of it at any rate—marched down to Miller
Park behind the band. When we reached the park, the Freshmen lined
up on one side of the wading pool and began cheering enthusiastically
for their boys, while the Sophomores answered defiantly from the other
side. The whole school was excited, and the lower classmen became
almost frantic at tense moments.
The first of the three pulls was the hardest fight of all. For a long-
time—we thought it was a long time, but it -was only two minutes—it
looked as though neither side would win. But finally the Sophomores
pulled so hard that the Freshmen began piling up on the rope at the very
brink of the pool. At the end of three minutes no one had gotten his
feet wet; however, it was without doubt a
a few seconds more would certainly have
Freshmen.
The second pull the Freshmen dragged
the pool in considerably less than the three minutes allowed.
Sophomore victory, because

their opponents clear across
Every one,
especially the Freshmen rooters, was certain that the first year boys were
going to win the thud lound, too; but the Sophomores, althoug-h they
had the slipperiest ground over which to pull, turned the tables on the
Freshmen and won the tug-o’-war gloriously.
Mi. Emmet Wilson was the Sophomore coach and Frank I left the cap-
tain. The Freshmen were led by Mr. Sands and Edward Ray.

FIELD MEET
(Sfielb dHHeef, 1924
■Tlie U_-l field meet yas held in May. We were fortunate enough to
have a cleai day on which to hold the meet. About noon according to
otii custom all the schools of the city assembled with their banners and
the grand review took place. The students marched by the grandstand
and into the arena where they saluted the flag and disbanded. Three
thousand boys and girls marched past the reviewing stand and about two
thousand of the citizens of Lancaster witnessed the spectacle. Later in
the afternoon a beautiful May pole dance was held before the throne of
the Queen of the May, .Marcella Rabe.
The athletic events continued all day and on either the field or track
some interesting contest was taking place all the time. Great credit is
due to Mr. Wallace for managing the events so that they progressed with
so much precision.
The fair grounds was alive with spectators as it might have been
during fair week, and every one went home in the evening with the same
mingled sensations of satisfaction and weariness as they do on those
pleasant autumn days. , 2 . , . .
The standing of the classes in the meet was determined from then-
success in the events of the day, and also from the points gained in the
baseball and tennis tournaments and from the showing in the i e\ iew .
Orval Stuckey and Edwin Davies were the track managers, and these
boys received letters for their valuable services and honest efforts to make
the day a success.
