We have worked toward defi- nite goals. We have put forth our efforts to promote a more exuber- ant school spirit, to review the events of the year in a logical and in- teresting manner, and to give you an annual which will serve to revive those pleasant associations when you get lonesome for your old high school pals. We sincerely hope that we have accomplished our purposes and that you will enjoy the l940 Whisperer as much as we have en- joyed publishing it for you. DEDICATION To show our appreciation and respect to a man not so well known to High School students in general, but loved and admired by every graduate who has sat under his guidance, we dedicate this THE 1940 WHISPERER BOB SHAFFER - ,L , QS? P . H. I. GRUNWALD IN MEMORIAM r Among the pictures of his friends, We save a place for him, Whose l1fe now has an unknown end, Whose eyes are never d1m. He loved to tramp the hill and vale. He knew how seamen lived. He gave his fellow scouts a hail That only he could give. And as we look back o'er the years, We see his face once more, His dauntless smile reflects our tears That softly spot the floor. He's one of us, we softly sigh And brush our tears away. But we will see him by and by, Some far off, happy day.

A your banners be our pride Success to you, dear Wadsworth High V! 5 In 1926 when Mr Close came to superintend the Wadsworth schools there was no kindergarten no regular instruction in music, no art, and no vocational courses The high school was not recognized by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Through a reorganization cf the cur- riculum the Wadsworth City Schools today support all these departments and is recogn'zed as a first class High School. Its athletic field is a credit to the City The high school has grown from 325 ua 1926 to 585 in 1939 40 However, a Board of Education without a vision of the fu- ture would not have permitted these improvements in our oud of our board members, and since 1926 'gl S X i i lgs ARD or EDUCATION I F.

A boy and a girl cabinet member was elected from each of the four upper classes, and one representa- tive was chosen from each homeroom. The President of the Council was elected by the school at large from the senior class. The entire council met every two weeksg the cabinet also met separately. Cabinet members were chairmen of the Committees made up of Home- room representatives. These committees were: Service Trophy Committee, Finance Committee, Welfare Committee, Assembly Committee, Dance Com- mittee, Charter Committee, and Study Hall and Publicity Committee. Activities of the year include sponsoring the Service Trophy for the most deserving club, handling the assembly dance and chapel schedules, effecting new study hall rules, issuing club charters, and consulting with the faculty in regard to the activity fund budget. WADSWORTH CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Wadsworth High School is always willing and glad to give special reef ognition to those students who in this busy life uphold their scholastic record. For this Wadsworth sponsors a chapter in the National Honor Society. Mem- bership is based upon -character, leadership and service. However, it is limited to fifteen per cent of the class, and these must be in the upper fourth of the class scholastically. On this basis the following were elected by the faculty: Seniors elected I 9 39 Frank Carrino Louis Close Robert Derhammer Robert Gairing Ruby McElroy Donald Zbinden Byron Houseworth Seniors elected I 940 Laura Crossan Don Bougher Don Nellis Donna Brown Virginia Young Ceann Bachman Louise Fahl Vida Beck Juniors elected I 940 Alice Bixler Arthur Crawford lla Jean Krichbaum Max Means Bill Reimer Fred Siffert Jack Taggart Neva Weckbacher Carolyn Metting Don Witschey Donna Kruse Betty Maitland Marjorie Young ..,,,iqQjy,,- THE NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE The purpose of the National Forensic League is to promote the inter- ests of interscholastic debate, oratory, and public speaking by encouraging a spirit of fellowship and by conferring upon deserving candidates a worthy badge of distinction.

The field of choice is large, ranging from clubs to sports. Girls have interclass competition in sports, while in addition to interclass contests, the boys meet opposing teams from other schools. Clubs range from classroom organizations such as Latin, French, etc., to G. A. A. and Hi-Y.

On awakening I find everything in readiness for my trip, due to the efforts of my butler DONALD BOUGHER. LEO LUCAS, my safe and sane chauffeur, drives me to the station, where I purchase my ticket from GEORGE HOL- VEY. Others of my friends who are in or near Wadsworth are BILL DAGUE as post- master, RICHARD FULTON as assistant postmaster, ELIZABETH ABRAMS as ath- letic director at W.H.S., BOB COOLMAN as office boy at The Allen-Hartzel-Dibble Co. JACK WEBB who is running a farm which he recently purchased,. WALTER DOMBROSKI also farming outside the city, DON JENKINS who now owns a grocery store, and DICK CASKEY who is still work- ing at Brenny's. By this time the train has pulled in and who with it but Mr. and Mrs. RICHARD MCGIN NIS, LAURA CROSSAN to you, com- ing back to the home town for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. RAY PETIT, formerly BETTY MAI TLAND, who are now living on High- land Avenue. My first stop is Niagara Falls. On arriving there,I find the hotel in whichl am about to register is owned by BERT VAN DUZER. The chief bellboy, DON WITCHEY, carries my bags to my rooms. The next morning in the elevator whom should I meet but Isaly's outstandingrepresentative,ROBERT CCLATEJ RASOR. My first tour takes me to the Falls where Ifind LYNN GRUVER as chief guide. He informs me that CLAIR KRICHBAUM recently tried a barrel roll over the Falls and recieved a broken hand which was still weak from football. ANDY OROSS has finally made enough money plav- ing pro. football to support PAT SIMISTER, so here I find them gazing at the spectacle. I decide to fiy to Detroit to visit NELSON DANGEL, who is chiefof the Ford Laborator- ies, but still delights in seeing if cars can take it . Incidently his private secretary is DONNA BROWN. Also working in this plant is DON NELLIS, as general efficiency expert. Now on to Chicagowhere I find that PAUL CLARK has a Specialty Meat Shoppe of his own. By chance Ipass one of the smaller night clubs and find LADINE FEW, EVLEYN AMSTUTZ, MARY VAN DUZER, and IRENE SHOUP entertaining the public. It seems as though we have a Worlds Fair every .i ther year. At any rate I can't leave the windy city without seeing this one. Upon entering the groundsl find TED CON- OVER fourth assistant at the Simplified Sci- ence Exhibit. On looking to the left I find a building being completed by the ace riv- eters , RAY CLAUSE, NELSON LEE, and BOB BASSETT. I come to the agricultural building and find KENNETH GUSTAFSON and HERMAN CASTO in charge. No fan is complete without a midway, so herel find EARL YOUNG running a French Casino. Right across the way is JANE MALANEY as the championweight lifter. About half a block up in a little German Inn is KENNETH RYLAND playing his tuba. Now to Montana where BOB ABRAMS and DON BLAIR run athousand acre ranch. After eating a hearty meal, someone men- tions how good it was, and I discover that JIM DALEY is ranch cook. On to Yellow- stone, perhaps the best known of the Nation- al Parks. Herel find JOHN BACSO chief of the rangers. Imagine my surprise at seeing GEORGE MILLS and RAMONA GREENE, now Mr. and Mrs. They are living in New York City, but have a cottage here in the west. From this place of natural beauty to the State of Washington, the home of many of our fruits. HARRIET CRAWFORD is sec- retary for her uncle, who owns millions of fruit trees. Since Oregon is directlv south, I suppose that is my destination. I've seen so many of my old classmates I'm rather diz- zy, but don't give up, I have to see the rest before my trip is finished. When I come to the state line, I decide to take a boat ride on the famed Columbia River. About five miles down stream on the top of a large building I see a sign DILWORTH BROS. And sure enough it's JAY and DON running a salmon cannery. There's a little place in Nevada by the name of Wadsworth, and I just could- n'tpassthat up. At any rate here we find BILL ANDERSON as cartoonist for the largest newspaper. Over the line into sunny California and out to Hollywood. I chat a few minutes with BILL SAUNDERS, general manager of M. G. M. and he tells me that VIDA BECK is costume designer. He also tells me to look up MARJORIE YOUNG who is living in Beverly Hills and is now working on the third production of Gone With the Wind. Incidently STANLEY MacMICHAEL is her business manaer, but she still calls New York regularly to talk to hubby LOUIE CLOSE, who is now playing with Benny Goodman. I always did have a weakness for playing the ponies so I spend a day at Santa Anita and find BOB GAIRING and DOC, F ARNSWORTH matching wits as rival bookies. Also on the track are JOHN LANCE, RALPH ROBINSON, and JUNIOR SILCHUK as jockies. For a change of scenery I take a boat to Catalina Island where one ofthe bestdance bands in the bus- iness ts playing. BYRON HOUSEWORTH, now known as Spiv Evans, is the director. On the boat back I seem to be familiar with the tall lanky captain, and sure enough it's PRESTON PRESLEY. When Iarrive in the city, a sign Bennett, Bennett Sz Bennett. on a music store attracts my attention An investigation show it to be E. K. and his twosons. Working forthem isJOHN BLYTH. I can't pass exotic Mexico and its beautiful women. So I'll take a plane for the capital. Upon entering the plane I find DONNA KRUSE as stewardess. She tells me that CARL PIRMAN is pilot and that CHARLES BOSO is chief mechanic for the airline. On my arrival at Mexico City, whom should I meet but FRANK CARRINO just returning to the United States. He has been the am- bassador to Mexico. In going through some of the old Aztec ruins, I run across ALVIN GARVIN who is now an archaeoli gist. Mex- ico, Ah! Mexico, from the capital to Vera Cruz. The navy's in port and of course RUSSEL PERKINS and POM FOSTER are there. They tell me that JOE DISPENZA has been made vice admiral. By the way its Mr. and Mrs. asfar as STELLA HOW ARD is concerned. Their home is in Richmond, Va. The bovs tell me that they have seen LOUISE FAHL several times. She's work- ing for the government as a secret agent. Back to the United States and to New Or- leans where BOB JOHNSON and MICKEY PARKER, who are touring the country with the latest dance craze, are stopping for a show. Also living in New Orleans is DON ZBIN DEN, Louisana's new king fish. dis h- ing out sandwiches. MELVIN MUMAWa1so stays here and regularly judges beauty con- tests. At the Ritz Club Ifind BETTY GANTZ andMILDRED KRASKA, as featured danc- ers. Then over at the Carlton Hotel is Duke Ellington,with the SwingSisters, LILLIAN g?NII.5LY, JULIA EARLE Y, and MARIAN Now to St. Petersburg where the TAYLOR sisters, ARDIS and LILA have an art school, with CONNIE DISPENZA, HELEN DRES- SLER,KATHLEENGERBERICH asmodels. On down to Miama, where Ifind MARTHA REA and her physician husband on their annual vacation. WILBERT SANDERS and BILL RIBER are spending their time camping in the Everglades. JOE STADLER and JIM SIMON are captain and crew re- spectively of their vessel which operates in the gulf. I visit Georgia Tech where I find ART SHANNON as head coach, ably asisst- ed by GORFON HOUSTON. Also found herenis RUBY MCELROY as professor cf English: LYLE PIKE and ALLEN WILSON have joined LARRY SMITH and are still plugging away at military school. Now to the nation's capital where the Democratic Senate majority leader is BOB DERHAMMER. His private secretary is EARLEEN TEETERS. She is also his spreader of propaganda. Sirce I am inter- ested in music I stop at Philadelphia to hear the famous accapella gir1's choir, com- posed of IRENE POSTAK, MARCENE RIDLEY, MARGRET SMITH, NOLA 32 THOMPSON, BEATRICE WAGNER, SARA WHITE, NAOMI WALTERS,VIR- GINIA FOSTER, DORIS HOFF, JANE KEENER, CAROLYN METTING, BETTY EVERHARD, and JANE GARVER. Here I stop at a restaurant owned and operated by the LAPAGLIA. sisters, CAROLYN and CARMELLA Also here in the The City of Brotherly Love I read of the revolt in Cuba. This is being suppressed by BILL II RONMANJ KAHL, and his aides, GERALD KOSIER, and FRANK PLATZ. In the Red Cross Unit headed by HELEN DAVIS, I read of the services rendered by DORIS SMITH and DOROTHY MALSON. I arrive in New York. BOB BAULT drives me to the Ritz-Carlton, where I meet EI- LEEN FREDERICK in the lobby. She tells me that she is living with her pharmacist hus- band out on Long Island. She also tells me that BLAKE LOWE is producing a play on Broadway. Co-stars are GLENN RASOR and MARJORIE DIHEM. Other members of the cast are MABLE MEANS, MARY, ALICEMURRAY,GERTRUDE HOLCOMB, OLIVE MARTIN, and FRANCIS THOMP- SON. I guess I'll do a little nite clubbing. To the Stork Club where DORIS BERLIN is proprietress, while RUTH FLICKINGER and ANN BERLYAK have charge of wraps. Then to see JOHN BIDINGER and the Cot- ton Club. Here we have as featured danc- ers, DOROTHY and JOYCE BRITSHART. Also at the Cotton Club are HELEN GLIDER, MAXINE LUCAS, and LOIS J ESSEL as cig- arette girls. Just as I am about to leave who should come in but GEANN BAUGH- MAN and VIRGINIA YOUNG. Geann is model and Virginia is owner of the Yeung Fashion Shoppe . I have just about exhausted my time, so I believe I shall start back home. The office will be waiting for me I'm sure.

Some of these students are pre- paring for higher education, others are taking courses which will enable them to secure em- ployment. Come, take a trip with us. We'll show you a few of the rooms in this spacious building. Let us go to the basement floor, which is a few steps lower than the entrance. As we go down the stairs, the first door on the right is the en- trance to the Printing Shop. Here boys, under the supervision of Mr. Weininger and Mr. Rattenbury, not only work duringschool hours but also in the evening in order to finish their numerous tasks. Printing is a new course and is expected to fumish experience for the boys who wish to enter the printing profession di- rectly from school. The fine print- ing work in this annual was made possible through the efforts of these SMITH-HUGHES PRINTING S'l 'e 'S' SMITI-I.I-IUGI-IES MACHINE sI-IoF Across the hallway a second vo- 5 cational course is offered in this high i 2 S school. The main units of study in this Machine Shop are heat treat- ment, welding, and machine opera- tion. The object of this course is to makethe boys more versatile in their ability to handle different machines in order that they may enter facto- ries with a certain amount of skill. Mr. Voris is the head of this depart- ment. Mr. Ringelspaugh assisted him first semester, and Mr. Kortvesi, the second. I fi-v'Ivfgnmz.f:a,. :.....hn.......L-.1 AY?-, HOME ECONOMICS Let's leave the students to their cooking and go to the other side of the entrance to see the Agriculture room where Mr. Morningstar is in charge. These students study the dif- ferent agricultural methods, which will enable them to be more capable farmerswhenthey leave school. Each of the boys raises some crops and live- stock as his project. WOODWORKING Down at the end of the corridor, the last door to the right, is the kitch- en for the Home Economics Depart- ment. Here the girls are trained to cook, to study food values, and to learn to plan well-balanced meals. Although Mrs. Henry is not shown in the picture, she is the head of the Home Economics Department. Miss Cleary is the assistant. SMITH - HUGHES AGRICULTURE Down the hallway in a very se- cluded spot is an entirely different- type of study -- Woodworking. These boys not only give the school a better appearance by means of their pro- jects but also make articles for their homes- Mr. Slutz, in his black apron, inspects every piece of work complet- ed by the boys. OFFICE PRACTICE The next room that we visit is very similar to the Office Practice Class but is used exclusively for typ- ing. As we enter the room, we hear, Betty, are you chewing gum? The teacher, with a disgusted look bn her face, points and says, The waste paper basket. Oh, Geann, those horrible finger nails! Go back and take that vicious red off. Miss Nedrow, the instructor, is very par- ticular about long red finger nails and about gum chewing. But now we'll proceed to the third floor. HALL MONITORS CLASS .,i.s..i1.l s.. .. As we go to the main floor, the first room we visit is the Oflice Prac- tice Class. Although there are few pupils, they turn out an abundance of work for the school. With mime- ograph machines, typewriters and comptometers, the students are kept very busy. Miss Teeple is the super- visor. TYPING CLASS Climbing these flights of stairs certainly must keep the girls in trim for their best beaux. Well, whom do we see here? These four students are an integral factor in our self-govern- ment system. As you may see, it is impossible to have a large number of the students roaming the halls. Hence every room receives just one hall pass, without which a pupil may not leave the room. Pretty, boy Jim Sailors, is showing his hall pass Cprob- ably his personal one, tool to Gladys Ann Beals, a hall monitor, while rov- ing monitor, Roger Krabill, stands by to see that everything is in order. There are six hall monitors stationed at various positionsin the corridors to see that every student has a hall pass. A roving monitor goes around dur- ing the period to see that the moni- tors do their duty. QA tip to the hall monitors: Better check on Rog.J An- other student, Lois Motz, collects each teacher's attendance slip which is hung on a hook outside each door. The first door to the left leads to vlechanical Drawing Class. Since it s quite an unusual room, let's take a week. My, but the kids look natural! ks usual Mr. Doan, the instructor is nelping Soup Cleary while keep- ng an eye on Derhammer, Close, and lairing tha, ha, and they're suppos- d to be the goody boysl. The right ide of the room is quiet. The reason ouldn't be that there is a young lady 1 their midst? What strange powers ome women have. l rx , ,f'6 MECHANICAL DRAWING l v 1 t STUDY HALL Next on our list is the large study hall which has as an able teacher, Mr. R. B. Sunderman. Don't the people look studious? Note that silly little grin on Alice Bixler's face. Julius Caesar must be getting funny as the years advance. Does anyone care to read a funny magazine? Just borrow Dick Allan's. Fahl hasn't had time to turn fully around after her gossip per- l I 5 l iod fall periodj with studious Harriet Crawford. This room offers an oppor- tunity for our students to do intensive studying. This last visit ends our tour, but it would be unfair to stop without informing you that our high school is a class A school belonging to the N orthcentral Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. We're very proud of our school.

Membership 'in the club is based upon points earned. A total of twenty-five points is needed by the applicant for admission. The maximum number of points allowed for lines is fifteen. These are apportioned at three points for a line. Five points are given for attendance at rehearsals, and up to ten points are given for acting. Stage crews are also admitted because of their services to the productions of the club. ' , The club's activities for the year consisted of a three-act play, Peck's Bad Boy , and an assembly on Dec. 22 at which was presented the one-act play, Jean Val Jean and the Christmas Doll which was directed by a stu- dent, Jeann Bachman. Two bus trips were taken to see professional plays at the Cleveland Play House. The Spring program, presented April l2, con- sisted of three one-act plays, The Red Lamp , Curse You, Jack Dalton and 'iThe Woman who Understoocl Men . These plays were well cast and very well given. Mr. Giffin, who has advised this club since its organization, deserves considerable credit for its success.

Its symbol is the circle surrounding the triangle, which sides are named: soul, mind, and body, around which themes the meetings were planned for the year. The activities for the year consisted of addresses by men and women, skits and talks by the girls themselves, a trip to the Cleveland Good Will ln- dustries, helping the Hi-Y fill baskets for the needy at Christmas, attending an outdoor service in Medina in the fall, the annual dance at Lodi with the Hi-Y, a Spring Formal, attending the Opera in Cleveland and attending the Catholic Church en masse.

Joe Dispenza assisted by Mildred Kraska HI-Y The purpose of this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The greatest service project taken up by the Hi-Y during the year was the collecting of forty Christmas baskets for needy families. Probably the most interesting activity of the Hi-Y to eight of its members was the trip to the Ohio Older Boys' Conference at Youngstown. The Hi-Y sponsored the first dance of the school year and another one later in the year. Members of the Hi-Y ushered at football games and helped at concession stands. Together with planned projects such as mentioned above, the Hi-Y attempted to supplement its activities with a regular weekly meeting and a planned speaker for each meeting. Some of the speakers at these meetings were: Mr. B. C. Houseman, county YMCA secretary: Mr. Lawrence Good of South America: Mr. Arthur Wright, Mr. F. H, Close, superintendenti of W. H. S., Mrs. K. V. Giffin, who spoke on etiquetteg and many other teach- ers, business, and professional men of the city who all spoke on subjects which were intended to make clear and further the purpose of the Wadsworth Hi-Y.

Po- etry must be enjoyed to be appreciated: the club found that collective study increased enjoyment. The club made a scrapbook of modern poetry and placed it in the study hall for other students to read, thereby stimulating a greater interest in other students. The club studied a variety of poetry including Sonnets, lyric poetry and light verse. The members of the club attended a lecture given by Carl Sandburg in Akron, March 5. The club also attended other lectures given by outstanding poets who spoke at some of the nearby colleges.

The stadium was enlarged by adding another section, and lights were erected for night games. The present stadium seats 960 people and the bleachers accomodate 500 which makes a total of 1460 seats. The field is lighted with 56, 1500 watt lamps. On each of the eight poles, seven lamps are situated cosuming a total of 84 kilowatts of electrical power. Additional improve- ments are to be made next year by building another section onto the original stadium and enclosing them for dressing rooms. The 1939 football season may not have been entirely successful considering only the games won, but its success lay in the support given the team, even in defeat, by the student body and the people of Wadsworth.

The first sport of the year is Soccer. This is a rough and tumble game and is very exciting. It is sometimes called a mild type of football. The other sports of the year are basketball, volley ball, and baseball. Minor sports are tennis, badminton, and horse-back riding. Any girl that participates in one sport is eligible to join the Girls' Ath- letic Association. The Purpose of this organization may be stated as follows: The purpose of this organization shall be to develop interest and shall in both individual and group games, foster the spirit of sportsmanship in its members and in the school at large, and to strengthen the bonds of loyalty between its members and the school! Points are earned by making teams. One hundred points are given for one game. Every member must make at least this many points a year to remain in the club. Awards are given at the end of the year. Red letters require i000 points, white letters 2000, and gold basketballs 3000 points. To be eligible for any award a girl must show outstanding ability, sports- manship, and cooperation. The activities of this association are from banquets to selling refresh- ments at football and basketball games. Initiation parties are held every year at which everyone has a very good time except the new members. 74 Elizabeth Abrams Betty A.dy Mary Alderfer Helen Bayduk Gloria Bender Doris Berlin Ruth Berlin Alice Bixler Sara jane Bowers Frances Carley Betty Conrad Lois Culp Mary Doyle Mabel Dreier julia Early Louise Fahl Genevie Fogle Lillian Foley Joanne Frye Barbara Graham Romona Greene jean Hileman Doris Hoff Martha Hoff Gertrude Holcomb OFFICERS President-Gertrude Holcomb Vice President-Naomi Walters Secy.-Treas.--Lois Culp Social Chairman--jane Malaney MEMBERS Mildred Kraska lla Jean Krichbaum Theresa Lunguy Betty Maitland Jane Malaney Carolyn Metting Phoebe Mills june Mumaw Mickey Orlando Marcella Oplinger Doris Raker Pat Simester Eileen Sterrett jean Swain Hillous Thomas Phyllis Thomas Dwenna Van Duzer Naomi Walters Patty Welch Sarah White Agnes Witschey Doris Leaf Sarah Spake Anna Doyle Glee Krichbaum Alice Marrin 75 Mary Ellen Overholt Shirley Bachman Beatrice Mann Beatrice Foley Lois Mae Rohrer Jean Crumley Phyllis Houston Pat McKain Jean Finefroclc Jerry Hileman Esther Melvin Margaret Rasor Anna Lee Fiely Bonnie Jones Elinor Sears Fern Rohrer jean MacMichael Rose Mary Doyle Miriam Sprankle Alice james Louise Tubbesing june Ellis Norma Prestly Olive Martin Darlene Easterday SENIOR HIGH INTERCLASS BASKETBALL 'ii SENIOR 'B' CHAMPIONS Left to right Row I Row 2 Art Shannon Bob Abrams Bob Bassett Don Zbinden Gordon Houston Don Witschey Never before has such interest been shown in boys' inter- class basketball, nor has the program been carried out with so much precision, as this year under the direction of Mr. Art Wright, in the capacity of the newly created position of Di- rector of Athletics. The playing between the teams con- tinued throughout the basketball season and culminated in the grand tournament in which the above team emerged vic- torius with no defeats. As evidence of the high caliber of these boys we point to their victory over the Ashland College Freshmen.
