Norwood High School - Silhouette Yearbook (Norwood, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1943 volume:

3 limited edition of 633 copies . . . volume XXI . . . published by the •ENIOR CLASS of NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL, NORWOOD, OHIO We, the staff of the 1943 Silhouette, present the last official Annual for the duration. We have at- tempted the record of your school year, despite difficulty and uncertainty — limited supplies, govern- ment priorities on copper and zinc, rising paper costs, and extra demands on time of staff members. Our problem is felt by all the schools of the country. Our Board of Education at the March 8 meeting discussed the local situation. We guote from the minutes: Mr. Bates brought up the matter of the Annual Book got out each year at the high school. Mr. Sullivan moved that, due to war condi- tions, we dispense with the Annual Book at the high school, after this year, for the duration. This motion was seconded by Mr. Schone- berger, and carried by the following aye vote: Messrs. Pinger, Schoneberger, Sullivan, and Thayer. Whatever form the record of the next school year may take, we hope that you will show it the fine support you gave the Annual. Without the help of subscribers who paid up three months earlier than in any other year we could not have published the Silhouette. t M3 gilUette ' StaH Gbokote DUST OFF THE DOORMAT. WELCOME, FHESHMEN. iqtft ' iqifc Halt! Who goes there? What self appointed sentinels stand guard at Norwood High ' s Main Gate? Upper classmen greet new recruits at main head- guarters, who advance shyly to swell our numbers to 1091 for 1942-1943. Later communigues carried an item to the effect that these little rookies were lost for thirty days (30 days has September) in the wilds of Norwood. Combatting tests and book reports developed them into seasoned veterans, as brave as any. All of us went to war on the school front. We don ' t mean fighting with our teachers. We mean making surgical dressings, buying war stamps, pasting U. S. O. scrapbooks, collecting scrap and rags, taking first aid and home nursing classes, and join- ing the Victory Corps. Our boys enrolled in classes in Aeronau- tics, Radio, Telegraphy, Airplane Motor Repair and other pre- induction courses. We said goodbye to some of our senior boys who enlisted in the Marines or Navy before graduation, and to others whose numbers were called. We wel- comed our alumni in uniform, who remembered us on fur- lough. Two faculty members left 2« in November for officer naval training fo become Ensign George Breen and Chief Special- ist Ludwig. Snow and sub-zero tempera- tures ( the coldest winter in yars, suh. ) found our beauteous gals wearing slacks to school. After the typical Norwood Girl was voted The- Man-of -the- Year, skirts again became the ordinary garb. Our boys still came to classes, more or less on time, wearing their two seasons old drapes, but G. I. haircuts lent them a new look. School routine cadence took on a new tempo, its rhythm broken by such activities as stu- dent holidays while the faculty rationed, government-approved courses beginning midsemester, Army and Navy Aptitude tests, Red Cross benefit shows, and sundry special assemblies. Front-line monitors report the usual happenings of any day and any year, freshmen (only?) going up the Down stairs, an occasional stray dog looking for a friend, students tearing down the halls full speed ahead for no reason, locker doors slamming, excited girls gabbling, and athletes loafing, and the usual tardy-to-class escort service. All this is Norwood on the School Front.. 1943. ■ NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL • 3 Out Wat §f t This list is of necessity incomplete, as tallying was not attempted until mid- year. First semester achievements are listed below. Any omissions are due to frailities of memory. Often those who accomplish most never record such as it takes time from needed work. All of us: bought $4,897.75 war stamps, $3,475.00 war bonds. Collected 14,020 pounds of scrap, 1,420 pounds of rags, 130 dozen coat hangers. Contributed 1 service flag, Service Flag Maintenance Fund $50.00, $58.00 for comfort kits. The Faculty: 350 hours gasoline ra- tioning, 240 hours first aid study, 27 house teaching first aid, 235 hours Red Cross surgical dressings, knitting 10 army sweaters. The departments contributed as follows: Art Department: 1,300 Christmas menus for U. S. Navy Posters: 6 Red Cross, 2 W. A. A. C, 10 gasoline ration- ing, 10 scrap drive, 10 rag drive, 22 stamps and bonds, 22 placards for benefit. Drama. Music: Read to Freedom benefit, Ft. Thomas, benefit programs, 2, 6 band programs for inductees. Home Economics: 90 Red Cross kit bags, 25 pairs hospital slippers, 50 Red Cross flags. Industries Department: 60 traction splints, civilian defense, 6 Red Cross display cases. Social Living: $8 to purchase books for men in service. Victory Corps: 500 hours to first aid classes, (untallied) Red Cross surgical dressings. The second semester saw a similar program carried through departments as follows: Home Economics: 50 3x5 ' Red Cross flags, 400 ditty bags, and in- valids slippers; Art: 150 posters and placards, defense stamps, etc; Music and Drama departments, Student Coun- cil, and Girls Week benefits, to Red Cross or programs at camp. Faculty participation was as follows: 4 blood donors, 3 3-timers, 18 (of 25) women, 1 nurse ' s aide, made Red Cross surgical dressings; 1 war production trainer; 4 enrolled at U. C. in advanced flight courses; 350 hours rationing. New courses, due to emergency, added are: radio, pre-flight, airplane repair, code communications; home nursing, child care, invalid care and feeding; first aid. Manpower shortage increased night school enrollment, as students took jobs by day and attended class by night. Victory activities, begun the first se- mester, continued: nursery school, home aid, stamp and bond buying, surgical dressings, military drill; band programs at induction centers, model airplanes; correspondence with relatives in service. Victory Corps: The April U. S. O. Book Collection netted: 128 games, 1000 books and Readers Digests, and 400 magazines. R. Graf, L. Stith, and D. Dashley learn the art of managing kiddies at the nursery. A collectors ' group of Victory Corps packs games and magazines for the soldiers into boxes. Acting Dean Warmoth checks out future gob F. Chapman and Seabee E. Crowthers while D. Frank helps judge the truth of luckless lad ' s tale. 7 IVE new teachers were added | to our faculty because of wartime needs. During the year three teachers took leave for the duration to enlist in the armed forces. Another expects to join the American Red Cross for overseas duty in June. Along with the rest of American teach- ers our faculty have rationed, done extra teaching, contributed blood, time and money to the Red Cross. Classroom teaching reguires new energy and new skills in times when students feel in- secure because of pending changes in home or in parents ' occupation, of their status as citizens in a democracy at war, of concern for welfare of their friends and relatives and their own uncertain futures. Public School Guidance, both formal and spontaneous, includes new fields, concerns new problems. As parents increase their war endeavors from necessity, teach- ers, as the most easily accessible adults, must give counsel on stu- dents ' problems with sympathy, understanding, and knowledge. Teachers are no longer con- sidered a sheltered group. They do take active part in the immedi- ate needs of America. The sys- tem in which they function makes them easily available. This is as it should be. And I have to say, it is a queer morality which can esc oe the grip of the tragic problems of our time by turning the eyes in an- other direction. — Max Eastman: Journalism Versus Art. tldwiimsfaati KGW • 5 HAROLD S. BATES Superintendent of Norwood Public Schools Lombard College, B. S. Columbia University, M. A. What ' s tlte Use! This question has been asked more often than any other in recent months, by our young people most. This question ap- plies to work, to manners, habits, customs and traditions, and to further education. If I am going into service soon, what ' s the use? If we lose this war, we will need more intelligence and in- genuity than ever before. If we win this war, a new era of living awaits those who are ready to play a part in its progress. If we are to win, we need highly trained and intelligent leaders. What ' s the use? It is the personal and patriotic duty of any sane and intelligent youth to eguip himself to the fullest extent of his ability, now, for service in war and in the peace to come. B. M. Hanna B. M.

Will we know what to do with it? Right now we have our own worries, and they are not funny to us: to go to school or to go to work; to study or enjoy our- selves (whatever that is); to sink or swim. Norwood faces follow by class. Keep us for our face value, for we ' ll be photographed no more for the annual record for the duration. Lots of us are average, some of us aggravate our teachers with the ques tions we ask, some of us are near enough to king-size thinkers to understand the grad- ing system, which confuses even the teachers at times. But we all love life, even the part that is school, and our faces and yours in print, and sweet things to eat, and young kittens and puppies, especially Blackout. Our mothers love us, and may- be their faith will be justified. Some school has enrolled this generation ' s Einstein, Earhart, Eisenhauer, Mac Arthur, Morgan- thau, Mayling Soong Chiang (Madame Chiang Kai-shek). It might be Norwood, even if it doesn ' t show up in this view. Out (ytubant oodxt 10 i$a i fienMM.cel DE WAYNE BAKER— Basketball 2, 3, 4; Intramural 3; Plays 4.

It follows par- liamentary law procedure and has a written constitution. The purpose of the council is to create and maintain throughout the school at all times, greater welfare of the school through its activities. The Officers of the council for first semester were president, William McCosham; vice presi- dent, Irvin Scharfenberger; sec- retary, Jane Higgins; and treas- urer, Dorothy Ring] and. The Officers for the second semester were president, Irvin Scharfenberger; vice president, Vernon Sennett; secretary, Louis Dietz; and treasurer, Jacquelin Joachim. The sponsors were Mr. Hanna, Mr. Warmoth, and Mr. Smith. Much has been done by the Student Council to further the war effort. Among some of their activities were a scrap drive, a rag drive, and a coathanger drive. They purchased and dedi- cated a service flag, and set aside a fund for its future needs. They bought a hundred dollar war bond, which was given to the school. The Council also sponsored several dances, two pep rallies, and presented the new basket- ball coach, Mr. Shepard, at assembly. Fellows and gals looked into nooks and corners for hangers to admit them to the dance benefit staged by Student Council. Sophomore girls were admitted free for having given distinguished service in the scrap metal drive . . .

W. C. A.— a city- wide, nation-wide, and world- wide organization. Girl Reserve Clubs aim to develop the indi- vidual girl through experience in a democratic group. In cooperation with Hi-Y, Girl Reserves have sponsored the Christmas and Easter assemblies, the Christmas caroling party, a shoe drive and rummage sale to raise funds for Red Cross, after school recreational program for haven-seeking N. H. S. students, and social hygiene lectures for juniors and seniors by Dr. Roy Dickerson and Mrs. Dana Robinson. Projects of the Girl Reserve clubs this year have been varied and interesting. Their 1942-1943 program included a fall rally and open house, World Fellowship dinner, recognition service, series of eight programs on Problems of a Senior, and the senior June breakfast. The Ring Group program consisted of a series of speakers and intensive study of the meaning of Girl Reserve membership. Girl Reserves, collaborating with community groups, sponsored service projects at the Norwood Service League Day Nursery and first aid and child care classes for war-minded members. The Girl Reserve clubs and their respective presidents are: Hygr, Jane Higgins; Senior, Jan Mitchell, first semester, Mona Gauer, second semester; Junior, Irene Werner; Sophomore, Joyce Root, first semester, Betty Cou- den, second semester; Fresh- man, Marily Boebme. Qht R, eselOes During the 1942-1943 year, eight Hi-Y clubs, had a total membership of nearly 140 boys in N. H. S. Omega Hi-Y was outstanding this year for its after-game dances to prevent gas usage and pro- mote good-will among the stu- dents of N. H. S. and between N. H. S. and visiting Cincinnati schools. On Sunday, March 28, Omega Hi-Y entertained local small fry, ages 8-12. A movie Tarzan ' s Revenge, was the first event, then a swim, after which both big and little brothers alike were ravenous for the delicious feed. Clubs participated in basket- ball, bowling, softball, golf, and ping pong tournaments; dis- cussed problems on religion, hobbies, Armed Service, voca- tions, Hi-Y philosophy, racial tolerance, and social hygiene. Hi-Y boys ushered at Thanksgiv- ing and Easter church services, donated to the War Chest. Infan- tile Paralysis Fund, Glenview Boys Home, Y. M. C. A., World Service, and to needy families.

Zimov and Comisar were out- standing Maroons. The Indians took their single win for the season playing Woodward on our field. Davis and Dietz were Norwood ' s big guns. H u g h e s ' powerful gridders Coach Col-well sends in Gee with an earful. downed our eleven 19-0. Their strong aids were O ' Malley ' s passing and Garvin ' s running. The Indians capitalized on breaks and held St. Xavier to 7 points. It was our third defeat in four starts. Our first away game of the season was the hard-fought Withrow win. Their strong aerial attack sank our crew of warriors 20-13. Davis ' 60-yard return of a kick-off for a touchdown was the game ' s high-light. FOOTBALL SQUAD TOP ROW: R. Sterrett, C. Gerbhardt, J.

Lockland Panthers on the home field took the Norwood boys in 13-7. The introduction of Young Batche play was not strategy enough to turn the battle in our favor. Lads from Highland trampled our Braves 19-6. This wound up our first football season of World War II. Carruthers and Kruer played well for the Bluebirds. Brinkmeyer ' s beautiful kicking kept Norwood out of more seri- ous losses. a eselOes The Reserves won a bigger percentage of their ' 42 games. They defeated Hughes and Lock- land, but lost to Western Hills and Withrow. The Papooses traveled to Koy Field to encounter Hughes for the first contest of the year. Speedy Tom Grischy led the attack, scoring from the three yard line. This was the only touchdown of the game. The Little Indians played host to Western Hills. They came out on the short end of the 19-6 decision. Kayo Darling revived Norwood ' s hopes when he re- covered a kick-off for our only marker. The Reserves suffered Number Two Defeat when the Withrow ' s Little Tigers came to our grid- iron. They whitewashed us 6-0. In the final game of the season, the Papooses walloped Lock- land 13-0.

The girls call each other Dolores of the Chorus and enjoy the new program. Pltusical Ocucaticn loo H ■1 The Girls Physical Education Department has launched upon a physical fitness program. Cer- tain psychological benefits are derived from athletics and cales- thenics which are dynamic forces in our existing society. Informal games furnish oppor- tunities to develop confidence in one ' s own abilities. To perform skillfully in any sport molds an armature of belongingness and a feeling of security in the indi- vidual member of the team. The Girls Athletic Association en- ables every girl to participate, without remunerative barriers, in all major sports with her class- mates. The opportunity is avail- able, but maximum achievement will come only through con- tinued, prolonged effort and guidance. Social fitness, which is dis- tinct from mental and physical fitness, means a condition which enables the individual to par- ticipate effectively in group proj- ects. This must be learned, it is not assimulated unconsciously, as we are sometimes prone to believe. Since athletics are pleasureable to almost all ado- lescents, the motivation is easier. Groups are usually small so that some learning can be through observation. Since fitness is a superior con- dition of the whole person, it is more than muscular strength. It includes a total fitness of the whole person. The principals, 58 ( gilkouette, 1 )lf3 gilLeuette, ()lf} established through scientific tests, reveal that use develops, and n o n u s e degenerates. In order to maintain wholesome at- titudes, emotions, interests and aggressiveness, the individual must exercise those gualities to develop them. The strength of the interskeletal muscles reflects individual organic power. Through calisthenics, games, military drill, and corrective gymnastics, the department has tried to build up this total fit- ness. There is a certain guality of developing the power to go on, which swells within the sporting individual, when others are played out. This sticking to the end develops morale, mental strength, fortitude. So there is present in endurance, physical plus mental power. One can not exist without the other. Personal- ity and character development are as real in physical education as in musculature power. Some- times this important inner drive or force is a strength which de- termines winning or losing, in gymnasium or life. All life continues to be group life, therefore individuals must be personally and socially desir- able. To participate effectively in physical education classes is im- portant for all. — M.

A., organized in 1929, opened the year with the Annual All-Girls Assembly, September 16. President Pat Ridge Intro- duced the advisers, Miss Griffin, Mrs. Eckel, Miss Kehm, and Miss Rea. Managers of the various sports explained the point sys- tem, and extended an invitation to the girls to participate in the year ' s program. G. A. A. pur- poses to have a sport for every girl and to direct every girl into a sport. Any girl who participates in at least one sport a year can be- long to G. A. A. No dues are collected. Instead, the girls sell candy, hot dogs and cokes at football games. Student members of the G. A. A. Board are president, Pat Ridge; vice president, Virgie Pennington, baseball; secretary, Evelyn Sutton, swimming; treas- urer, Jeanne Harris, bowling; Mary Lou Albers, Hiking; Dor- othy Ringland, riding; Margie Holley, basketball; Ruth Bauer, archery; Betty Westerkamn, pingpong; Betty Belle O ' Connell, health charts; Jane Coffey, social chairman.

Nor are Health charts any- longer a big event in the G. A. A. program. Four girls kept them this year. In the past years health charts served a purpose, but such motivation is now furnished by classes in Guidance, Social Living, and Girls Social Problems. A girl earning 100 points in any sport receives an emblem. The big N is 1000 points, cum- ulative over four years. Each 100 points in addition entitles the earner to a bar. Doris Proctor was the only midyear senior to re- ceive a big N. Besides regular sport meet- ings, G. A. A. sponsors two Play Days each year and Girls ' Week in March. Archery: For the first time, Archery will have a spring pro- gram as well as the annual fall shooting. Patricia Ridge was high point scorer for fall, with Ruth Bauer another especially accurate marksman. The emblem in this sport is one of the most difficult to earn. None was awarded this year, although archery has the most participants of the sports. About 100 signed up. Bowling: Thirty girls signed up for bowling every Tuesday af- ternoon at Stone ' s. This is one of the newer sports on the G. A. A. program. Faculty member Miss Rea serves as chaperon. Bowling has no emblem, but the points count toward the N. Baseball: This, too, is a very popular sport. Usually about six teams sign up for the late spring tournament. Manager Virgie Pen- nington selects the captains, and the team members are appointed. A team draws its opponent by lot. Each champion member re- ceives 35 points, the runner-up members 25. Pingpong: Betty Biehl out- pointed Evelyn Sutton for the pingpong championship for March 10. Each girl must partici- pate in at least three games, and each game played counts 5 points. Pingpong has no emblem. Hiking: Hikes are scheduled J. Kloenne, B. Biehl, ]. Higgins, M. Gauer, and G. Berne ale ready to dive into the pool. by M. L. Albers. A hiking group must include at least five Nor- wood girls, but smaller groups may go if granted special per- mission by Miss Griffin, director of girls athletics. Points earned by hiking must be reported within two days to the manager or the Physical Education Office, specifying the names of the hik- ers, the route taken, and the dis- tance made. Points count one a mile, but no hikes of less than 5 miles are credited. Bicycling: Jaunts count V2 a point a mile. No emblem is awarded, but the points count toward the N. The war rather decreased the numbers on this. Basketball: M. Langhout, S. Koch, T. Brancamp, and R. Bauer were the captains of four teams in the tournament. When Sil- houette went to press the last game of the tournament between M. Langhout and T. Brancamp ' s teams had not yet been played. Champions get 35 points and contenders 25 points toward the basketball emblem. Swimming: Seventeen girls started to swim the English Channel, 500 lengths of our pool. M. Shuck finished first, D. Larson second. These swims are held once each year and any girl may take the water twice a week. Contestants earn 25 points each for the 500 lengths. Miss Griffin conducts Junior and Senior Life Saving Tests. Point values are 30 and 40 respectively. J. Hig- gins, M. Gauer, R. Bauer, and E. Sutton went out for Senior Life Saving. More important than ever these days are facts about foods and figures. Home Economics Department offers majors in Foods, Clothing, Girls Social Problems, or com- binations. Sewing and cooking are no longer counted useful just in case, but have a definite need for all of us as rising costs and scarcity of labor for civilian customers throw us on our own skills and resources. The Army and Navy stress the vital need for figures and mathematics ability. Advanced methe- maiics classes are educating boys to use this science that we may survive, as individuals, as a nation. Where is the bright lad of yesteryear who didn ' t want mathematics because he could add higher than his earning power would ever be? That ' s right. We get letters from him every week, from the infantry, the navy — lamenting his neglect to follow facuity advice to prepare him- self with the sciences. Gnclislt anb ybeecli Basic requirement for all stu- dents, regardless of the goal in life, is a three-year course in English. It is well that English is required. And what is more needed than to speak and write the language of our own coun- try well. Our boys, when con- fronted with Army and Navy Air Corps tests, were glad that they were taught so well at Norwood High School. In our school we not only have the regular courses in English but also, remedial English is stressed for those who need extra help. Those who are going into the business world need a different type English; business English is recommended for these students. Although drama is considered in the English department, quote Mr. Povenmire, it is a science, unquote. After obtaining back- ground by studying ancient and medieval drama, the pupil par- ticipates in school and commun- ity plays. In Speech classes students learn the proper lip movements that they may enunciate dis- tinctly. An awareness of self- errors in Speech grows with the use of the recording machine. The freshmen are speaking into the m i c r o p h o-n e under Mr. Povenmire ' s supervision. Not only are the students of Norwood High School taught the fundamentals of English, gram- mar, punctuation, capitalization, but they practice the art of con- versing over a telephone, debat- ing, writing essays, compositions and short stories.

Students must take two years of the same language to receive credii. A major in lan- guage is two years each in two different languages or three or four years in Latin. £ auaoi anauaoe ei asses Language classes do more than memorize words., learn rules, and translate stories. Plays about great men or events, or- iginal notebooks, maps and pic- ture displays make learning fun. In the language clubs students sing popular songs in Latin, French, or Spanish, hear pro- grams with speakers or picture slides, and put on parties. French and Spanish classes and clubs carry on ordinary conversations, including names, in French or Spanish. Because of the war, there is less interest in French and Latin and more in Spanish. Today many Norwood soldiers and sail- ors are wishing they had taken foreign languages in high school! Pictured are French enthusi- asts getting directions from mademoiselles. Shown are T. Sawyer, H.

Drama is a one year course. Besides numerous posters for local drives, stamps, etc., the art department printed and hand- colored 1200 menus for the navy as a Junior Red Cross project. Music and Drama Departments gave morale a boost with pro- grams at camps and benefit performances. Sewing helped the home front, and 1000 kit bags, 25 pairs of hospital slippers and 50 Red Cross flags were a part of their other war service. D. Koch, R. Mayhugh and M. Elstun are happy sculptors.

Since 1940 Norwood High School has maintained a cooper- ative program. Any eleventh upper student may apply for these courses. He must be de- pendable, honest, willing to work hard, reliable., cooperative, and must take the work seriously. The daily schedule provides for a half-day in school followed by a half-day in the offices of local business, industry, and stores. One-half credit is allowed for work experience and four cred- its for related subjects studied. The student selecting such a program must understand its purpose and abide by its rules. He takes these courses for many reasons: a year ' s experience upon graduation is a valuable asset; he will have grown accus- tomed to the methods used in business; and to accustom him- self to the differences in school, home, and business office. Mr. Hostetler, head of the Com- mercial Department, investigates various positions and students RETAIL STUDENTS CHECK A MERCHANDISE DISPLAY AND COMMERCIAL CO-OPS HAVE MONEY TO LEND AT THE BUILDING AND LOAN 66« Hlobe in Problems, nistolu, O ; v ' Conomics are sent on interviews. Usually two or three are sent and the em- ployer makes his selection. Mr. Henderson investigates positions in various stores for the distribu- tive trade students. As the course progresses, school work blends with co-op jobs, emphasizing the need of study. A sincere respect for work is a desirable outcome. Twenty-six members of the commercial group work, as sten- ographers, typists, clerks, recep- tionists, assistants to professional men, cashiers, and file clerks. Distributive trades has fourteen working in Norwood and Cincin- nati stores. Co-operatives devote time and ability to their jobs. Initiative is encouraged by the employer who gives students added re- sponsibility as they are proven able to carry it. These cooperative courses prepare students for work after graduation. They are more ac- customed to the Business World and are better able to handle themselves in difficult workaday situations. The present conflict has brought new stress to history, economics, and modern prob- lems in the schools of our coun- try. Modern Problems is an im- portant subject today. It gives the student a glimpse of the future and an insight into the past, forming a foundation for our future political policies. Ameri- can History is reguired for grad- uation. Today ' s problems cannot be answered without a knowl- edge of past errors. Basic whys and wherefores of our eco- nomic system is a semester ' s Economics. MODERN PROBLEM STUDENTS VISIT LAUREL HOMES AND TEST THE HOUSEKEEPING MAP STUDY HAS AN INCREASED INCENTIVE FOR MODERN PROBLEMS CLASS s ciences General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Senior Science are included in the cur- riculum of the Science Depart- ment. Students are urged to select a program including the basic principles of science. Re- quired are General Science and a year of laboratory science. Girls are more interested in science as new fields become open to them — research in both government and civilian labor- atories, positions in industry, and as Armed Forces urge the need of technically trained women to release men for action. Our boys are well aware that a knowledge of science and mathematics are necessary for promotion in many fields of mil- itary training. New this year are pre-induc- tion courses: radio, pre-flight and electricity. These courses are of- fered after school, and the at- tendance is 10096 boys, although girls are eligible. Classroom procedures vary, but all must of necessity include learning by doing. Top: A group in general science works out an experiment before the class. Life under a microscope is ever fascinating. Chemists Dale Bridgeman, James Motsinger, Margaret Quick, .and Chester Bartlett are thrilled, despite the strong sul- phur atmosphere they must breathe in Room 307. Physics is fascinating, espe- cially to Jerry Hayes and Mary Lou Green. Bob Fisher, Fred Linder, and Don Douglas enjoy the gadgets by which they learn. m mm M HOW TO EMPTY A BUILDING Five gongs mean rush to our lockers, get our wraps, then back to our classroom.

Speakers from each branch of the service at one time or another visited the school to present our local draft bait with inside facts of his special branch of service. After a formal meeting (November 24) where Army, Navy, and Marine officials explained their particular branches, an open house was held where more personal Ques- tions were answered by the speakers. The crowd was appre- ciative and inguisitive; they wanted the best decision as to which service would be the most suitable for them. Many boys have already left to enter the armed service. Some will return; some will not. Our service flag has three gold stars, symbols of William Dahling, Robert Oberhelman, and Roy Purvis who died in service. This flag was presented October 15 in the auditorium by Mr. Hanna with Bill McCosham presiding. R. Ramsey uses first aid on victim, L. Euphrat, while J. Pennington gives a patient artificial respiration. Sophomore girls rela after winning the scrap drive. A good ton was had by them. 70 • Louis Euphrat who took part in this presentation is now in the Marines. Meanwhile at school, pre-in- duction, pre-flight, and airplane motor training courses were started to train boys who will soon be in uniform to perform deeds that will make Norwood High proud of them. Students aren ' t the only per- sons affected. The faculty has lost members to enter the service. The physical education was changed to fit war necessities, to give high school boys a chance to improve their physical condi- tion to meet service reguire- ments. These seemed tough at first but gradually the students hardened to the strain and ac- complished the goal of better physical condition. Thus students of Norwood High are prepared for combat.

Hartmen, W. Davis, J. Higgins, J. Maloney, and E. Bolton discuss their grades to see who got on the Honor Roll. Our faculty has long realized the need for an adequate test record. Requests for records of officer candidates, Civil Service and F. B. I. applicants make test- ing imperative. Our minimum objective is one achievement quotient and two intelligence quotients for each student. In June, 1942, our records had at least one I. Q. for each student; in June, 1943, at least two records for each person enrolled, and an I. Q- for every student coming from the public grade schools. After 5 months in the eighth grade, students take the New Standard Achievement Test (ten separate subject tests) which checks achievement against the national norms. This gives a profile of achieve- ment of each student entering the ninth grade, available to use in planning special classes and individual programs. Approxim- ately 325 Stanford tests are given each year . Scoring them requires at least 100 minutes each. Approximately 1000 Otis tests (I. Q.) were given this year. All ninth grade pupils were tested within the month of entrance, seniors two months before grad- uation. Routine tests completed all upperclass records. lestinc loaav koh. lomoiioiv Three groups of applicants took the MacQuarrie Test for Mechanical Ability for the gov- ernment established Aeroplane Motor Repair class. The I. Q. on record and MacQuarrie score de- termined eligibility. Miss Hauck directed the Sen- ior Scholarship Squad that took the County Scholarship tests here on March 24. These tests measured individual achieve- ment in five academic subject fields. High scores help the graduate to obtain college tuition scholarship. April 2, Mr. Hanna gave the Army-Navy academic test to 89 boys subject to military call within six months, this to select young men capable of officer or special training. Results are sent to candidates, and are not on our records. Co-op classes take the Kuder Preference Record, to estimate occupational preferences, twice during the course. All graduat- ing girls took it this year, to aid in occupational placement. Pre- ferences change with training and out of school experiences. These records are sign posts, not positive estimates. Charlotte E. Kehm, Director of Guidance and Placement • 77 How %e It rnte VictCtv Co ibi Norwood Chapter of Victory Corps was organized October, 1942. Members pledged to work for the duration to aid their coun- try by keeping physically strong, engaging in military drill, pursu- ing government approved studies satisfactorily, and con- tinuing participation in activities of immediate value in the war program. Approved studies include Pre- flight, Radio, and Machine Shop Courses; Home-nursing and Child-care classes; Telegraphy and Codes; Army Office training. Among Victory activities are salvage drives; collecting of books and magazines for U. S. O; making Red Cross surgical dressing; sewing and knitting; buying war stamps and bonds. Community and School ser- vice included air raid, first-aid and messenger sguads; music participation in parades and Every Monday and Friday aware Norwood High School girls scurry to the City Hali to fold bandages patiently fiom 3 ' til 5. No iavels there, girls! Time flies quickly with small talk and cokes during rest period to tide them over until quitting time. If you are one of the girls shown here, you may well be pioud. Our favorite sponsor, Mr. Dunn, assisted by three pretty volunteers, draws out the truth (or would you prefer ' Alcatraz?) about that hoarded canned goods from prospective rationees. Scrapbooks for the soldiers are censored by these six young ladies. At least, they appreciate the cut-up humor which the home room representative tried so hard to achieve. Mary Smith measures in Miss Tielking ' s Victory Corps skulls for those pert gray caps, one of which Norma Kendrick smartly perches in the exact in- correct manner. A voluntary all-girl assembly was held in the auditorium on March 15 for the purpose of hearing a headquarter ' s representative of all the branches of the Women ' s Voluntary Military Service. J. Harrison, B. Depperman, V. Benz, and M. Wright welcomed our women in uniform. ' Jot Gil Goob Then ceremonies, such as when our boys leave for military service; child care in the day nursery or housework for mothers in de- fense work; Drama benefits or plays presented at Ft. Thomas. The American Legion helped in night drill, and Miss Griffin directed the girls in similar training. Other students worked on model airplanes, writing to friends and relatives in service, and promoting ideals of democ- racy in the home room. At the March Victory Corps assembly, 45 of the 275 members were awarded advance member- ship insignia. Their schedule for demonstrations in military drill include one Parent-Teacher As- sociation meeting, a May pro- gram, and participation in the Memorial Day parade. Miss Tielking is the sponsor for the Victory Corps. Honor Society played host to its new members ■with a party in the cafeteria. T. Sawyer, R. Bertscher, B. Davis, T. Thayer, and W. Abel examine their pins with utmost interest. (How much money could I pawn it for?) M. Smith. E. Sutton, President Wes Hoey, and C. A. Dantic would rather eat their rapidly-melting ice cream then worry themselves with trifles. Notice to all mothers: Is your big, husky lad one of these expert scrapers? Won ' t you be happy when you can sit down and rest after an 8-hour day at the factory while your son scrapes, -washes, and dries the dinner dishes? Pictured are C. Wettig (in background), M. Mitchell, W. Frees, C. Vaughan, C. Schardt. Miss Hooke ' s freshies have already begun col- lecting men. As drafting of high school boys gets more in earnest, the girls may need such a col- lection to remind them -what a man looks like. Believe us, as seniors we know the hardships of Menless Fridays.

The schedule of plays included Brother Goose, What A Life, and Lost Hor- izon. What A Life was given the third night at Ft. Thomas. Mr. Povenmire gave a scene from Green Pastures at the camp the night the music department presented a program there. In November under the able supervision of Mr. Povenmire.. the Drama Department collabor- ated with the Music Department to present The Road to Free- dom, in celebration of Educa- tion Week in Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Folk dances were directed by Miss Griffin, Physical Education, and cos- tumes were planned and carried out under the direction of Miss Ehrenhart, Home Economics. Road to Freedom was a pageant of American history. It was presented, not primarily for Silhouette boosts the unpatted-on-the-back jobs, such as crew-work, prop painting, and ticket selling. All you slaves, have hopes you, too, may see your picture because of Merit. M. E. O ' Brien, and J. Costa promote What a Life to M. Gauer, P. Riordan, J. Higgins, and J. Hutton. E. K. daubs paint on J. Higgins and K. Keesham, hoping that they will come cut of the treatment looking like Miss Eggleston and Mr. Patterson in What a Life. J. Bogart, B. Doud. and June Bogart diligently paint props while C. Gerbhardt cleans off his brush. This strenuous labor requires the assistance of M. Bristow and E. Lynch. 80 Plantation rhythms once turn Lincoln ' s heart toward The Road to Freedom for all. profit, but to bring to the people of Norwood, a renewed aware- ness of the ideals for which our country is in conflict. Miss Ewing led the community singing. The curtain rose on a colonial ballroom scene, while the orchestra, under Mr. Hum- berger, softly played ' ' The Minuet in G. Outstanding fig- ures of colonial times discussed the fundamental concepts of democracy, Ben Franklin, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jeffer- son, Peter Zenger, among others. A scene later Abraham Lin- coln and John Calhoun dis- cussed the growing threat to union strength, slavery. In the background cotton pickers fainted under the heat of the scene. Southern belles in cos- Ike Koaa to fieeaom tume murmured together in little groups. Then came the Flora-Dora Girls. Lillian Russell sang old favorites of the gay nineties, dandies cavorted for the favor of the hourglass belles. The Brenner pass scene, with Mussolini bravely meeting Hit- ler, stole the show. Later this scene was presented at Ft. Thomas. In the last scene Churchill and Roosevelt discussed postwar plans. The stage crew, Carl Nie- meyer, Ed Hirsch, and Roscoe Ashton, were the back props of the production. The stage crews throughout the year play a very necessary part in the work of the • 81 an 3 Wotii department and deserve much credit. Brother Goose, a comedy in three acts, was presented by the midyear seniors. Jeff (Joe Cald- well), a young architect struggl- ed through a tangle of confusion in a household where house- keepers came and went, while he tried to rear his younger brothers and sisters to be worthy kin. What a Life, the original Henry Aldrich opus, was pro- duced in March. Profits from the two nights performance netted $250, which purchased 100 food packets for prisoners of war, a Red Cross benefit. An enthusi- astic audience whistled and clapped at Irvin Sharfenberger ' s Henry, and Jack H a r t m a n ' s villainous George Bigelow. Kenneth Keeshan stood out in his interpretation of a highly nervous and fluttery-mannered teacher of social science, to the audience ' s glee. M. A. Bogle, I. Caldwell, W. Hoey, D. Proctor, C.
