Washington High School - Sunburst Yearbook (Washington Court House, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1951 volume:

The 1951 Sunburst- Washington High School • Washington Court House, Ohio In Memory of Jo Lynn Parrett On Christmas day 1948 our hearts were saddened by the death of Jo Lynn Parrett a member of the class of 1951. Death came with friendly care: The opening bud to heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there. Samuel Taylor Coleridge 2 1876— 1951— 75 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY Mrs. Nettie Hegler Ballard, the only living member of the graduating class of 1876, was at the Homecoming football game where she was presented with a corsage of red roses by the Homecoming Queen, Shirley Pyle. Mrs. Ballard has been a lifelong resident of this community and has four children and three grandchildren who also call Washington High School Alma Mater. 3 The House We Live In all through the year. From early fall till summer is near. Is a buzzing hive of activities bright, That last from morning, till late at night. The dances, the sports, the studying in class, All exist in this building of stone, steel, and glass. Meet me by Winged Victory. How often this refrain has been said. Here we can see how true it is. 5 SEPTEMBER Well, here we are again! September 5, a sunny fall day. The House We Live In opened wide its doors to the youth of Washington Court House. Abandoning their summer pastimes and with a slight sigh, more than 900 students swarmed in its doors to devour the teachings of the 36 teachers. We don't forget our opening day easily. We talk with old friends and meet new ones. There are many new experiences. Everyone is looking forward to another successful year in the House We Live In. COMPLIMENTS OF SINGER SEWING CENTER 6 Remember those nice, warm, drowsy, fall afternoons, while we slaved away in the classrooms? These kids found a way to beat the heat. We discovered Dave Sheidler, Jean Scholl, Dick Eckle, Dick Andrews, and Jean Perrill holding a session on our beautiful lawn. The day we all dreaded, the first six weeks' grade cards! In the past, home room teachers have written the grades on the stu- dent's cards. This year, however, the students take their own grade cards to class and the teacher explains to the student why he receives his grade. We found Miss Davis and Dixie in conference. How was it Dixie? OCTOBER Sell those magazines! Every home must have money and ours is no exception. In order to have special assemblies throughout the year we, the students, had to really work. Remember that assembly when we learned all about salesmanship from Mr. Gray (and also Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes). After that everyone worked like beavers and we brought in $2684. Aren't the assemblies interesting too. Prizes were also given to high salesmen. Congratulations 9th graders. NOVEMBER You're only as old as you feel. This was the philosophy of The Silver Whistle, the play very capably presented by the Thespian Club for our entertainment this month. It was the story of a tramp who came to an old peoples home and showed them how to always be happy. Ike Ben- nett as the tramp, Mr. Erwenter, gave an out- standing performance, as did the rest of the cast; Lauretta Jones, Helen Hynes, Jean Perrill, Jane Terrell, Sharon Rettig, Jean Scholl, Dick Eckle, Jim Whittington, Bill Robinson, Roddy Beaver, Dave Sheidler, Bill Case, and Ellis Miller. The cast was directed by Miss Keck, Thespian advisor. Vote! The House We Live In offers us democracy. On Tuesday, Novem- ber 4th we fulfilled our duties as member of a democracy when we exercised our privilege of voting. The auditorium was the scene of our election campaign assembly teaching us to Know Your Can- didate and of the mock election under the direction of Mr. Kraut- water and the American Govern- ment classes. UNIVERSAL AUTO CO. CHRYSLER-PLYMOUTH 206 E. MARKET ST. 8 DECEMBER Who are you going with? During the month of December, the big question around Washington High School is, Who are you going with? This question refers to the Y-Teens annual Christ- mas dance. Doesn't she look neat? Well that's just a sample of what went on before, during, and after the dance. It appears that dancing through a maze of Christmas trees with an all night party after the dancing, was just about too much for most of us. Nevertheless, the Christmas dance comes but once a year, we made the most of it while it was here! JUNK REAL ESTATE AGENCY GENE SMITH, LICENSED BROKER DEAL WITH CONFIDENCE 112 N. FAYETTE, 3-4501 9 JANUARY Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Yes it snowed but it still didn't keep us from taking those dreaded SEMESTER EXAMS. Do you remember the cramming, the moans, crys, and shrieks?? You do. Oh, I see, you gave a few. Didn't we all! But nevertheless exam day rolled around and we see these students industriously finding out how much they don't know. Good luck. The Blizzard was hazardous for all; yet with a forced week's vacation it brought joyous fun and frolic. Who will ever forget the big, white snowdrifts and slippery ice which caused everyone so many incon- veniences? Here's one who won't. How about it Ann? GOOD LUCK CLASS OF 51 QUALITY HARDWARE AT CARPENTER'S HARDWARE STORE 10 FEBRUARY School rolls on and on! Good Morning. That is the voice of your student announcer from the Dramatics class. Ellis Miller is shown beginning his report. Everyone made a few mistakes, mistakes, but all in all it added up to something new each week. Dancing in your socks has become quite a tradition around Washington High School. These dances were spon- sored by the Sun burst Staff. The Sock Hops were well at- tended by both the younger and older students and many happy hours were danced away in our socks. February 14! Even the rainy weather outside couldn't dampen the unmistakable romantic flavor in the air on St. Valentine's Day. The girls were all talking about their boxes of candy or present while the boys were dis- cussing the aspects of getting a comic or romantic valentine. Yes, this was the day that love really awakened the House We Live In and made it glow. COMPLIMENTS OF |. ELMER WHITE AND SON DESOTO-PLYMOUTH DEALER MARCH The Play's the thing! Hurry and slap that wallpaper on kids, it's almost time tor dress rehearsal. These are very familiar words to almost everyone around Washington High these days. The teachers' play Weep No More My Lady, was a great success. The Seniors sent for Harvy ' the invisible rabbit to entertain you with in April. Now we can see the Jun- iors in their old time costumes getting ready for Cheaper By The Dozen, an hilarious comedy about a couple with twelve children. We have a gay evening looking in on their home life. Taken collectively, the theater has done quite well in the line of entertain- ment for the people of Washington C. H. this year. Fun too, wasn't it! 12 APRIL Spring has sprung! In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love and outdoors and Washington High School is no exception. Bobby and Barbara seem to be planning their summer ac- tivities: swimming in our new pool, tennis, picnics? Aren't we all? As we go down the upper hall of our House we find the Seniors violently thrashing through the dug out look- ing for their books before the tardy bell. Looks like it's time for spring housecleaning doesn't it? Often they go to class with a book other than their own but regardless of that fact they always find themselves drinking in the same knowledge. It isn't rainin rain you know, it's raining violets. I'm afraid Joe and Eleanor won't quite agree with that little ditty. When the rain comes the students crowd close to the doors of the House and some sit on the marble steps. Even rain doesn't dampen the noise and chatter though. Hurry kids, run for the front entrance. CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 5t FARM BUREAU LOCKER ft 13 MAY So long, it's been good to know you! The last formal dance for the Seniors, Classnight. This is the lighter side to graduation. After the Classnight exer- cises are finished everyone rushes home to change into their formal clothes, go to the gym, dance till twelve, go to a party, then a breakfast, and finally about eight o'clock the next morning arrive home tired and with many memories of a perfect night. No Senior will ever forget it. Here we caught Kay and Barry, and Janet and David just arriving for the big night! Have fun Seniors, it's the last. Fred and Sharon have led us through our Senior year and now it is time for them to lead us through our com- mencement exercises and on to the future. We'll miss all of you; friends, teachers, coaches, students, principal, superintendent, and janitors. Thanks for everything. We won't say good-by however, ju T So long, it's been good to know you! 14 ENTER TO LEARN, GO FORTH TO SERVE! The Class of 1951 entered Washington High School with open minds and deter- mined spirits. We've had good times and bad. We've studied and worked hard, but always had a lot of laughs. This night scene of our Alma Mater symbolized our leav- ing. It has done it's job for another year and is ready to take its summer vacation. We'll never forget our days spent here. We haven't forgotten the reason for it, how- ever. We entered to learn. Now we go forth to serve! SLAGLE AND KIRK AUTOMOTIVE PART SERVICE 215 EAST MARKET PHONE 2567 15 The people that we always greet, In the halls or where we meet; Come from the city or the town, Or from the country side all around.

PURE OIL PRODUCTS FOR BETTER SERVICE BEN MONTGOMERY 124 EAST MARKET 17 To you graduates of the seventy-fifth graduating class of Washington High School, congratulations! You have made and left an excellent record which may well be- come the pattern for those who follow in your foot- steps. The high regard in which you are held by those of us who are in school is richly deserved. We sincerely hope you will never lose those qualities which make you one of the finest groups of young people in our community and in America. May the memories and experiences you have had in school never be dimmed by the succecs and prosperity you will attain in later life. Always keep those quali- ties which make you individuals. STEPHEN C. BROWN, Superintendent. To the Class of '51: Money, natural tact, and genuis are great things. But these will not make success. They are good things and great helps but a greater yet is education. Opportunity is: what the strong man makes for himself, what the industrious man asks for, what the lazy man dreams of, what the weak man waits for, and what the wise man sees and makes the most of. You of the Class of 1951, have seen your opportunity and have made the most of it—congratulation to each of you. Your parents and other community adults hope that through education you have learned the meaning of our great democratic freedoms. If you have, you will demonstrate that you have mastered the 3 R's of citi- zenship—Rights, Respect, and Responsibility. Further, we hope that as you move into the nezt phase of life that you will carry with you a purpose of life which leads you individually and collectively to make con- tribution to the general welfare so that you are a part of the answer to the world problems and not a part of the problems. May each of you be blessed with the richest of life's experiences. ARTHUR E. WOHLERS. Principal. SCHOOL BOARD We, the Class of 1951, thank the school board for making the house we live in pleasant. You have hired a well-trained faculty to guide us in our learning—the learning which will make our future days easier to live in and to understand. The situation our world is in today makes it paramount that we understand other nations as we learn to understand the America in which we live. You, the school board, do your very best to hire individuals who will teach us to understand the principles of peace, liberty, and freedom. As the Class of 1951 goes into this restless world we carry with us these prin- ciples that have come to make our house a better place in which to live.

Before the big rush of Graduation ac- tivities there's a certain senti- mental feeling that makes all Seniors appreciate their friends and want to be with them more than ever before. Sharon Ret- tig, Shirley Pyle, Bill Case, Tom Bowles, Norman Pope, Ann James, and Kay Morter sit on the stairs discussing their in- dividual problems. College— Jobs—and Marriage are big problems for most Seniors. There's a lot of fun and an awful lot of sorrow in being a Senior! The bell rings, the doors swing open, and the House We Live In springs alive with students. There is a mad dash by the juniors and seniors for the up- stairs hall while the freshmen and sophomores spread out left and right. The up and down traffic was somewhat slowed down and organized when up and down signs were painted on the walls above the stairs while the speed of getting to class was slowed down; the desire for learning was not. So keep it up Students! The telephone, a new addition in the lower hall, had solved the problems of many high school studnts. Here is a scene taken in the lower hall. A very serious minded, studious, in- tellectual, and sombre student is interrupted by a school pest and hallhaunter who is out for laughs. And by the expression on the former's face he has somewhat. But don't let a pest bother you so much you forget your nickel the next time you use that telephone.

AND MRS. SAM B. MARTING ESTHER AND SAM JR. 33 The junior and senior Home Ec. Classes had the study of baby care for one of their proj- ects this year and the trip to Memorial Hos- pital to see the babies and observe the nurses as they bathed and cared for them fit right into the scheme of things. Good driving is an art and good drivers are hard to find but the students from the driv- ing course in Washing- ton High School are good drivers and good pedestrians too. They know the rules and abide by them. Washington High has many beautiful statues and historic scenes in the halls so the art stu- dents have quite a few objects to paint during their classes. These students have taken advantage of this fact. 34 7th Grade Pres..........David Carter V.-Pres...Bob Swackhamer Secretary....Peggy Snyder Treasurer.. .Barbara Parks 8th Grade Pres.....Mickey Milstead V.-Pres...Portia Brownell Secretary......Kay Brown Treasurer....Bill Rostofer 9th Grade Pres..........Joyce Bandy V.-Pres......Glen Milstead Secretary....Bob Chaney Treasurer....Dick Tracey 10th Grade Pres.....Walter Plymale V.-Pres...............Jon Pensyl Secretary.....David Crone Treasurer.....Eddie Korn 11 th Grade Pres........Jim Williams V.-Pres.....Allen Grillot Secretary...Janet Parrett TreasurerMary McDonald Treasurer— Mary McDonald BUY AT WILSON'S HARDWARE AND SAVE THE DIFFERENCE 35 JUNIORS Rodney Acton, Cleotta Adams, Georgia Aills, Gwendolyn Aills, Hughey Aills, Lloyd Arnold, Robert Bailey Donald Bandy, Betty Babst, Barbara Barger, Frances Baughn, Robert Beatty, Thelma Beedy, Paddy Boso David Boswell.

Work together to win our games. The House We Live In is of a mighty frame, Built of courage, sportsmanship, and fame. 49 First Row: J. English, Mgr.; D. Sheidler; W. Van Meter; D. Eckle; Captain B.

The Lions opened the season with a 31-6 victory over Linden-McKinley, but it was in this game that our captain, Barry Smith, received a foot injury which caused him to see only limited action the remainder of the season. Against Jackson, the underdog Lions played a wonderful game and won 18-7. The following week, Portsmouth was swamped 46-13. Then came homecoming and the first league game. It was really a battle with Greenfield winning 14-22. They had an easier time of it against Hillsboro in winning 41-0, but were defeated, 25-20, by a tough Wilmington team in a very good game. The Lions, getting their share of the bad breaks, lost to London, 20-12, and Bexley 12-7. They fought hard to defeat the S.C.O. League Champs, Circle- vHle, but were beaten 12-6. Seven players from Washington were awarded a place on the All-SCO team. Dale Orihood, next year's captain, Bob Alkire, Carl Smith, and Wayne Van Meter made the first team. Dick Eckle made the second team. Joe Wilson and Joe Burke received honorable mention. The future looks bright for Coach Pierson and Coach Guinn since there are only four seniors, but indeed these boys will be missed. 50 Bob A I k i r e , the dependable safety man, is pictured here on a punt return. Bob was the quar- terback on offense. Where's the ball? This picture typifies the ex- plosive action the Lions showed throughout the season. The queen for the 1951 Homecom- ing Football game was Shirley )o Pyle. Her attendants were Rosella Dowden, senior; Janet Parrett, jun- ior; Betty Anchutz, sophomore; Joyce Bandy, freshman; Nancy Schlue, eighth grade; Linda Shel- ley, seventh grade. The ceremonies for this occasion demonstrated the contrast of the football homecoming of today and one of 25 years ago. 51 Joe Burke—Joe was the guy you always saw throwing that key block and he could al- ways be counted on for that extra yard or two that meant a first down. David Sheidler—A great potential football player who has only been out for two years. He played end, but did not have many chances to show his talent. Dick Eckle—The strong-arm man who was always in there fighting. He played guard on offense and end on defense. He was in there for the full forty-eight minutes every game. Barry Smith—Barry had a lot of tough luck this year with injuries but he was in there on that end position whenever possible. 52 Coach Townsend and Assistant Coach Brumfield had approximately one hundred boys turn out for the first practice. To give every boy a fair chance, which they did, the job was slow and tedious and after several weeks of practice, the boys pictured below were selected by the coaches as the ones who showed the most promise. The coaches then proceeded to teach the hopefuls a few fundamentals of the game. The boys learned slowly but what they learned, they learned well. Although the season's record was not too good, the experience gained by the players will be very valuable to them when they become varsity players.

They started off with a bang by winning five out of six, three of these wins being in league competition. The Lions were beaten by Greenfield by only three points, 60-57, although they were once 18 points behind. On the trip up North, they broke even. Against Ashland, one of the better teams in the state, they were swamped, but the next night the Lions proved they had the spirit by beating Galion, 71-69. They then lost to Hillsboro, 53-50, which was followed by two more defeats. The cagers han- dled both Circleville and Wilmington for the second times. Then came the toughest week of all as the boys first lost to Franklin, 66-64; the heart-breaking loss to Greenfield, 37-36, in an overtime, cost the Lions a tie for the league championship. Also in this week came a 44-42 loss to Dayton Wilbur Wright. They bounced back to beat Delaware, 70-69, in an overtime, but were then mauled by the 1950 state champs, Springfield. A very good showing was made by the Lions in the tournament as they walloped both Grove City and Mt. Vernon before bowing out to Grandview. Dave Sheidler made first team in the S.C.O. and also received honorable mention in the state. Ed Pensyl was selected on the second team all-S.C.O. Ivan Blair, Kenny Robinett, and sophomore Bob Alkire received honorable mention in the league. We'll really miss you seniors because you really showed teamwork and sportsmanship throughout the entire season.

Third Row: Wyatt, Mgr.; Milstead; Campbell; Rostofer; Hoffman, Mgr.; Coach Pierson. Coach Fred Pierson's Cubs won ten games and lost two plus four games won in the tournament. They won the S.C.O. League and the Jr. High tournament held at Washington In a couple of years these boys should make fine varsity players. The Reserve team had a very good season as they won eleven games and lost six. Jack Rettig's jump shot, Van Meter's re- bounding, Milstead's aggressiveness, Dale Dawson's left-hander plus a tight zone defense and some good substitutes are some of the things that made them good. The boys really worked hard and as a result they won the S.C.O. League's re- serve crown. We hope that you boys keep your winning habits next year when you will be varsity players. 56 Glenn Milstead tries to get off a shot as Dale Dawson looks on. Van Meter is in the background. The reserves beat Circleville for the second time and went on to win the S.C.O. These hard-working, energetic girls cheered their teams on to victory. They worked tirelessly with their cheering sec- tions. They participated in several as- semblies with the Senior cheerleaders, and showed ability which will serve their teams for many years to come. The girls are Jane Van Voorhis, Barbara Parks, Louise Stewart, Barbara Evans, Patty Litz, Janet Howard. 57 First Row: Dale Orihood; Wayne Van Meter; Bob Alkire; Allen Grillot; Fred Brandenburg; Noman Pope; Jack Rettig. Second Row: Merill Kaufman, Mgr.; Lloyd Arnold; Dave Shcidler; Ted Shelton; Ivan Blair; KeKnny Robinett; Bucky Smith; Skippy Allen. The Lions opened the season with a 7-0 win over London as Kenny Robinett pitched five innings of no-hit ball and Ivan Blair finished up the remaining two innings and he looked just as good since he allowed no hits either. Since the Sunburst has to be finished before baseball season is over, we cannot give you all the scores, but we did put a schedule of games in for you. Last year's team won eight and lost but three and finished second in the S.C.O. This year, with the same team back and a few new recruits, the squad should be very good. Coach Pierson plans to enter the district tournament and who knows, we might win the state championship. Here's hoping we win the S.C.O. League first though. London — Home Circleville — Home Hillsboro — Home Greenfield — Home Wilmington — Home Frankfort — Home Greenfield — Away Hillsboro — Away Circleville — Away Wilmington — Away London — Away Frankfort — Away 58 Here's the Students and Teachers in ac- tion and again the Teachers beat the Stu- dents both games, but the scores were very close The girls' score was 30-27 and the men's was 25-21. What's this young- er generation coming to? The cheerleaders, under the di- rection of Mrs. Edith Hastings, roused Washington High to a new peak in school spirit. The cheerleaders formed a new club during football season called the Booster Club. This club cheered on both the foot- ball and basketball teams both at home and away. As soon as football season was over Bob Gidding and Joe Wilson joined the girls to cheer on the bas- ketball squad. The cheerlead- ers were Joe Wilson, Glenna Parks, Mary Lou Sollars, Jane Washburn, Bob Gidding, Betty Rostofer, and Kay Morter. Kay was the only senior cheerleader to finish the season. 59 The House We Live In has a calendar packed, With studies and parties where nothing lacks; Where students express their wills and needs, All mingled together, every color, all creeds. We all work together in our activities, great and small. From planning our lives to just talking in the hall. 61 1st Row: David Carter. Jean Scholl— Sec., Jody Cockerill—Treas.. Norman Pope—Pres..

Student Council The purpose of the Student Council is to give the students a better idea of government. The president, Norman Pope, has proved to be a very competent leader of this organization. The Student Council has held approximately ten meetings. It has been success- ful in carrying out the ideas originated last year, and, also in beginning the new club plan which will take effect at the beginning of next year. All of the twenty- nine homeroom representatives plus some of the alter- nates have done a good job in furthering the help of the student body and teachers. This organization will soon become a government for the students of Wash- ington High School. 62 1st Row: Helen Hynes, Sharon Rettig— Treas., Dixie Ellison, Kay Morter. 2nd Row: Jo Ann Cockerill, Shirley Pyle— Sec., Jane Terrell—V.P., Jean Perrill.

National Honor Society Scholarship-Leadership-Service-Character: These are the symbols of the National Honor Society. This so- ciety which corresponds in high schools to the Phi Beta Kappa in the universities, was first organized in 1903 at the Southside Academy in Chicago. Scholar- ship alone is not the prime objective of the club; it is developing and helping others to develop a well- rounded personality so that they will become useful and well adjusted citizens. The National Honor So- ciety's chief project is to publish the school paper the Lion's Roar. They also have an assembly in front of the entire school for initiation of new members. Miss McKinney and Miss Stecher are co-advisors of the N.H.S. 63 ■ Sunburst Staff The planning of the 1951 Sunburst started with the staff meeting with Mr. Richard Brier, a representa- tive from the Indianapolis Engraving Company three weeks before the opening of school. The purpose of the meeting was to plan what we would have in the annual; the number of pages, size of pictures, and what we wanted for a theme. The House We Live In was chosen as the right one. Two weeks later we had our dummy and all we had to do was to fill the blank pages One of our big worries was whether or not we would have enough snow for the snow scene we planned. Did we? Snow only set us behind sched- ule two weeks. The staff was divided into groups. One planned the actual book, another worked on get- ting advertisements to help pay for the annual still another publicized the fact that we were making one. To save money, for it is an expensive job, Mr. White, our advisor, decided to take the informal and activity pictures himself, and develop them in the school darkroom. Many times I'm sure you saw him with his not so trusty camera, taking different shots about the building. With the cooperation not only of the staff but the teachers and other students as well, here is the finished product. We had fun making it and we sincerely hope you enjoy reading it.

Admission is gained in the spring by tryouts or by in- vitation. They lead the singing in chapel and fre- quently offer special numbers. From this group, Mr. Bowman, the music director, chooses many different ensembles such as the boys' choir, the girls' choir, and a smaller group of boys and girls together. Dennis O'Conner is in charge of their robes and Jimmie Moats is the music librarian. The important event of the year was the concert in May, where all types of musi- cal numbers were presented. 1st Row: Jean Holloway, Donna An- drews. Accompanist Mila Weatherly. 2nd Row: Susie Dawes.

A Red Rose, their flower is symbolic of vibrant, glowing health— a necessary attribute for happiness and efficiency in home and group life, which this club is trying to achieve. They had two community projects this year; one to sell Easter seals for the benefit of crippled children, the other was serving the May Day Break- fast, sponsored by the Nurses Organization. For the F.T.A.'s projects, they sold food at the basketball games and served the Future Farmers' banquet. For world service, they packed boxes to send overseas for he Christmas Festival.

Future Farmers of America The primary purpose of the Future Farmers is to de- velop agriculture, leadership, cooperation, and citizen- ship. The purpose is to maintain a love for a country life, a strengthening of the individual's character, and Ihe further development of their aim in rural life. Early in the fall the F.F.A. went to the National Plow- ing matches held at Urbana, Ohio, where they saw farming methods and equipment dating from the In- dian Age to the present. During National Education Week they gave a Parliamentary Procedure demonstra- tion, which they later gave at the District Procedure Contest, and placed third out of twenty-one teams. In March the F.F.A. honored their parents at the annual banquet. Mr. Cordon Ryder is the advisor. 1st Row: Mr. Ryder.

Future Teachers of America The Washington Chapter of the Future Teachers of America was the first to receive a charter in Ohio. This group, advised by Mrs. Jane Grillot, is primarily a service clubs. When the P.-T.A. has their meetings the freshmen members take care of the children. If at any of the functions going on in the auditorium, ush- ers are needed, the juniors offer their services. The seniors substitute for the teachers when they are not able to meet with their classes. The sophomores count sales tax stamps to make money for projects the F.T.A. plans. The Future Teachers meet on the second and fourth Thursday in the library during the noon hour. The annual banquet and the senior breakfast in the spring are the year's the highlights. 1st Row: Donald Yahn. Joyce Bandy. Marvin Cook, Eddie Moots, Glenna Parks, Beverly Carman.

Students Librarians When fully staffed, there are thirty-six student li- brarians. The aim is to have one assistant for every period of every day. Their main job is to take care of circulation at the desks; however, many times they are called upon to do various other tasks by Miss Lei- ter. Their organization is an informal one with no officers or dues. When the need arises, they hold a luncheon meeting in the library. In addition to li- brarians, there are two messengers who take care of the notices of fines, overdue books, and reserve books. Also there are three pages who shelve books. All of these people are to be congratulated for giving us such efficient library service. 67 1st Row: Janice East—Treas., Shirley Pyle—Sec.. Helen Hidy—Pres., Pat Lee —V.

Commercial Club The Commercial Club is an organization of freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior students majoring in the commercial course. The purpose of the club is to bring the members closer to the realities of the business world. This is done by discussing the de- velopment of a pleasant, courteous personality, poise, demonstrating the correct office manner, appropriate dress in the office, learning how to get along with theii associates, and by giving the members the back- ground of general information which will benefit them in preparation for an office position. Their club meet- ings are held once a month in the homes of the vari- ous members. The club is under the capable direction of Miss Jane Trent. Latin Club The Latin Club is made up second year latin students under the supervision of Mrs. Jane Grillot. Although there are no regular meetings of the Latin Club since their business is taken care of in the classroom, they do have officers. The class devotes its time reading about various legends as the adventures of Caesar. Each year the latin class, has a display in the show- cases in the lower hall. This is to show the practical application of latin today, in our language and in the business world. This is done by posters telling of firms using the names taken from the Roman and Greek legends, and by underlining the words taken from latin used in the English language. It proves that after all latin is not a dead language. 1st Row: Mrs. Grillot, Beverly Cross- white, Dinah Davis. Roberta Theobald. Elaine Evans. 2nd Row: Rosann Hel- frich.

The Art Club has fulfilled their purpose as they went to the Carne- gie Art Institute at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There they studied others' art so that the Art Club members could improve their own art for the reasons of study and enjoyment.

The Girls' Athletic Association is a group of organized girls ranging from the ninth through twelfth grades. These girls are athletically-inclined and enjoy par- ticipation in such intramurals as volleyball, deck ten- nis, newcomb, basketball, and baseball. For each in- tramural tournament each girl who participates is giv- en points toward a letter or numeral. They had their annual Christmas party at which the new members were initiated into the club. To make money for the athletic fund there were two basketball games be- tween the teachers and students. The first game was the women teachers against the G.A.A. All-Stars, while the second was between the seniors, the win- ning intramural team, and the men teachers. The ad- visor of the club is Mrs. Edith Hastings. 69 The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The four planks in the platform of the Hi-Y are clean speech, clean sportsmanship, cleanliving, and clean scholarship. This was explained to the student body at the Senior Hi-Y assembly to initiate new members. The Junior Hi-Y is a beginning toward the goal of the Senior Club. This year the Senior Hi-Y sold pencils with the bas- ketball schedule printed on them, and basketball pins with the name Blue Lions at the top. One of the big events of the year was the annual Sweetheart Dance held in April. Mr. Arthur Engle is the Senior advisor, while Mr. Robert Brumfield is the Junior advisor.

Senior Y-Teen Club The Junior and Senior Y-Teen Clubs, affiliated with the Y.W.C.A.. are organized to build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. These clubs have lived up to their purpose by contributing to cer- tain charitable organizations and helping the needy. Among the activities during the year were: the annual Christmas dance, the Y-Teen assembly, and serving refreshments at the home football games. Part of the funds received were given to the athletic association to be applied on the stadium fund. Miss Marjorie Evans is the Senior Y-Teen advisor, and Miss Isabelle Reid the lunior Y-Teen advisor. 71 Band If you had been to any of the football games this fall, you would have seen the Washington High School Band with smart blue and white uniforms marching across the field before the game and performing at halftime. They marched through many intricate for- mations: square dances, the minuet, and the Charles- ton to mention a few. This year the band members had a new room for practice during the sixth period. It is much large than the Little Theatre, where they had always practiced before. Thhe room has an ele- vated floor, sound proofing, individual practice rooms, a closet for the band uniforms and special cupboards for all the instruments. April sixth, they presented their annual concert, featuring all types of music. As usual it was enjoyed by all who attended. Of course all of this couldn't be possible if it weren't for Mr. William B. Clift, Jr., the director of this band. 72 Majorettes As the band starts marching onto the football field at Gardner Park there is Randy Mann, mascot drum ma- jor, followed by Martha Wyatt, head drum majorette, with little Linda Hurtt, mascot majorette, right on her heels. In a'l their color the majorettes follow doing intricate twirling as they march into the formation. One of the more outstanding highlights of the sea- son for the ma orettes was the Charleston which they danced as it was danced in the Golden Twen- ties The ma orettes are: Sue McNutt, Joyce Bandy, Carol Croker, Sue Scott, Paula Sperry, Majorie Hunter, Nancy James. Phyllis Wright, Portia Brownell, and La Vera Johnson. 73 CLASS HISTORY Dick Eckle The year 1951 brings to a close the seventy-fifth graduation exercises in Washington High School. During the last four years we have been preparing to take our place on the gridiron of life, and now we find ourselves at the end of our high school days. Let us review them briefly. In the first quarter, our Freshman year, we were a little scared. We had to size up the game . With Coach Mrs. Faye Mayo, and with the help of Captain Ivan Blair, Co-Captain Cockerill. and our man- agers, Kay Morter and Roddy Beaver, we were soon whipped into shape. For our homecoming attendant our class elected Audrey Salyers. This year we tried something different for our freshmen class. At the suggestion of Coach Mayo we asked that during our time out. instead of having a picnic, we be per- mitted to have a class party in the gym. Since our game had been going smoothly the officials con- sented. and we had a hard times party, with the Sentimentalists furnishing the music. The second quarter, Mrs. Charles Pensyl took over the coaching, and by now we felt quite confident. This time we had a Dandy-Lion Hop during our time out. A good time was had by all. Barry Smith was named one of the ends of the mythical South Central League Team. There was also a girl in the spot light; the class had selected Dixie Lee Ellison as the Queen's attendant. Half time was a welcome relief, and we all took a well earned rest so we could have a successful last half. Our offices were headed by Barry Smith, president; Eddie Pensyl. vice president; Shirley Pyle, secretary; and Helen Hynes, treasurer. Our third quartr showed us ready and willing for the final conflict. We had enjoyed our game so far and knew the best was yet to come. Coach Mrs. Madonna Gordon let us choose our leaders for the year. We elected Dick Eckle. captain; Clinton Gilmore, co-captain; with Jean Badger and Shirley Pyle as managers. We also selected Jean Badger as our attendant to the Queen. All had quite a few good hints for effective play in the last half. Speaking of plays, The Baby Sitter. was ours, with everybody having a good laugh at the conflicting mistakes of the play. The Junior Class Party was our first time out in this quarter, and a welcome relief it was. Our baseball team did very well by placing second in the league. The highlight of this quarter was the Junior-Senior Prom where we entertained the Seniors at the Stork Club. Now the fourth and final quarter. This is what we all had been waiting for. On the coaching staff this time were Miss Davis and Mr. William Clift, Jr. Again we had a first in Washington High School. Instead of a boy for president, we elected Sharon Rettig as Captain; Co-Captain. Fred Brandenburg, and managers, Jane Terrell and Jody Cockerill. To help the officials set the rules of the game the school elected Norman Pope, president of Student Council. At our Homecoming game Captain Barry Smith crowned Queen Shirley Pyle, who was closely guarded by her Senior attendant, Rosella Downde. Joe Burke and Dick Eckle gained spots on the S.C.O. League Team in football. In basketball four seniors— Captain Ivan Blair, David Shcidler, Eddie Pensyl, and Kenny Robinette—had positions on the S.C.O. Bas- ketball Team. When the All Ohio Basketball Team was chosen, David Sheidler received honorable men- tion. One of our important time outs this last quarter was our St. Parick's Class Party where everyone had a good time. Harvey , a hilarious comedy, was the Senior Class Play. As for formal dances in the spring, the Senior Hi-Y started with its Sweetheart Dance. Then the Juniors entertained us at the Junior-Senior Prom, and this was followed by the dance to which we all looked forward Class Night, the last high school dance for the Class of '51 . All of us. I'm sure, will remember this big event. During the years we have complained at times, but as we reach the end of our high school career, we realize that all the blocks and penalties were quite worth while. The game is over now, and the seventy-fifth graduating class. I hope will be a winning team.

Fayette St. 83 .... 9t PaifA TO WORK AT MURPHY’S My name is Betty and I have a story which I think will interest many of you. It’s about my ex- perience in the retailing field. Believe me, Variety Store business is fast-moving and interesting. Each counter is a store in itself. Here at Murphy’s one learns retailing from the oottom up! I started out as an extra salesgirl, working every day after school. When I was graduated, I was fortunate to be placed in charge of a counter. I never knew how really interesting this work could be ... it’s just like having a shop of my own. I’m growing here, taking more responsibility as I go. There’s still more room for advancement ... I can work myself into a position of merchandise buyer, section supervisor or bookkeeper in the office. Soon I hope to be selected to train for the job of Personnel Directress in a large new Murphy Store. All of us at Murphy’s have an equal chance to better ourselves. From what I can see Murphy’s is tops in training . . . and there isn’t a store in town to beat Murphy’s on Employee benefits! If you’re ambitious to make a “go” of retailing, join the Gang” at Murphy’s soon as you can. ft. C. MURPHY COMPANY 84 DALE'S FURNITURE STORE FURNISH YOUR HOME FROM OUR WIDE SELECTION 120 W.
