The four cardinal principles on which the organization is founded are Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. The members are chosen by the faculty because of their unquestionable character, their ability to lead, their constant willingness to render service, and their high rank in scholarship. The emblem of this society is the keystone and the flaming torch. The keystone bears at its base the letters S, L, C, and S which stand for the four cardinal principles of the organization. The members who will be received into the National Honor Society this year are: Evelyn Apple Gwendolyn Gross Mary Francis McGeath Charlotte Wonderly Dolly Myers Jean Nicholas The twenty-nine members of the alumni were organized in 1937. The alumni group takes part in the initiation ceremonies when the new members are inducted into the club. The officers of the National Honor Society are: Anna Mae Stansell........President Anna Louise Randall.....Secretary Lucille Rockey Schuder Vice-president Ruth Arnold Faculty Adviser SCHOLARSHIP CLUB The Scholarship Club was organized this year for the first time in West Carrollton High School. Its members are those people who have represented West Carrollton High School at the annual scholarship tests at Miami University. The Scholarship Club plans to promote activities which tend to improve the scholarship of the entire school. The club presented a Stunt Night program during the w inter w hich w as a huge success and it hopes to have many more such successful achievements.

W. C. A. The club's purpose is To find and to give the best.” At the present time the club has fifty members. The club’s activities have been of great importance to both itself and the school. The more important activities were the annual football banquet, Mother and Daughter banquet, and the donation of several pictures to be placed in the halls and rooms of the school building for the benefit of the student body. Many interesting and beneficial meetings were held during the year. Among the more interesting were the ones with the G. R. Club of Miamis-burg and Hi-Y. The Girl Reserves and the Hi-Y held a Christmas party to which all members were invited for the purpose of learning to dance. Besides these meetings a number of discussion meetings were held. Dolly Myers, Dorothy Tufts, Bcata Southard, and Glengene Windoffer represented the club at the conference held at Cincinnati on March 18-19-20. Miss Woodman and Evelyn Apple accompanied the girls.

The club is organized to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. It aids in clean speech, clean sportsmanship, dean scholarship, and clean living. The club’s motto is: Contagious Christian Character.” The Hi-Y club has participated in activities at the Y. M. C. A. in Dayton, and in county and state conferences. Some time ago the Friendly Indian Club was organized by the Y. M. C. A. for the boys of the fifth and sixth grades as a junior Hi-Y club with the older Hi-Y boys in charge. The officers of the Hi-Y for the school year 1937-1938 are: Donald Bailey .............

In 1927, a small school orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Miller played for the marching. The orchestra, however, got its real start in 1928, under Mr. Charles Patterson. The orchestra, now under the direction of Mr. Charles West, consists of fifty-two members. The orchestra has made a creditable appearance at commencements, plays and other various programs, including the Spring Music Festival. WEST CRRROLLTOn SCHOOL BflnD The West Carrollton High School Band was started in 1930 by Mr. Charles Patterson. Some of the instruments were bought by the school, and others were owned by the students. The band at this time consisted of about thirty pupils. During this time they gave pins as awards. This, however, has been changed to letters. At the beginning of the school year of 1934-1935, we met our new director, Mr. Charles West. Since then the senior band has increased to seventy-two members. They have played at football and basketball games, participated in band concerts at Miami University, and Wittenberg College, and have given broadcasts over WHIO. There is also a sixty piece junior band, the members of which will fill the vacancies in the senior band as the present members leave or graduate.

Since it was organized so late in the season, the club has not been very active. The club has formed no definite constitution but has worked on a trial basis. The old point system has been ruled out by the club and credit has been given for taking any part in the sport night’s activities. The girls had one play day with O. S. S. O., some basketball games with Miamisburg, and a Sports Circus. The club hopes for a more elaborate program next year with more chances to play with other schools. The officers of the G. A.

The end of this year will find the Pirates losing several Senior boys. This loss will be felt keenly not only by the Coaches but also the ardent followers of West Carrollton High School. Everyone will remember: NELSON LOESCH ... As one of the fastest and best ball handlers West Carrollton High School ever had. Nelson was also Captain of the basketball team and a good one. JIM OBERER ... A cool, level-headed ball player who saved many games for the Pirates by his cool playing. JOE WEJDNER . .. Who always hit his stride in nearly every game. There were very few, if any, that Joe went scoreless. JIM JOHNSON . . . Big Jim was one of the Co-Captains of the fooball team and a very good one. The Pirates will miss Jim next year when it comes to holding that line. WILLARD DONOVAN . . . The husky, young blonde from Miami Shores was also Co-Captain of the football squad. W'illard made a fine captain. He always had that never say die” spirit which will be greatly missed on the field next year. DONALD BAILEY . .. One of the taller boys proved a nice find for the end position and was always right in there adding extra points. TOM REBER . . . The football player who was always ready to fight for the Pirates. FOOTBALL The beginning of the football season found the Pirate ship floundering rather badly. They were defeated by their old rival, Miamisburg, by a huge score. Later, Miamisburg was forced to forfeit this game, but West Carrollton did not accept this forfeiture. In the Little Six League the Pirates showed they weren’t to be sneezed at by placing second. The Red and Black really hit their stride when they defeated Lebanon 13 to 0. This was Lebanon’s only defeat of the year. But this was not the only fine showing they made. The Pirates put the Struggle Buck-it” w here it belonged w hen they defeated the highly touted Franklin Eleven 12 to 0. The only defeat the Pirates received in the league was at the hands of the league champs, O. S. S. O., of Xenia. So you can see the Pirates had just cause to be proud of themselves by giving an undefeated team its only defeat and winning a trophy. Coach Colburn’s charges also played two class A schools during their schedule, these being Oakw ood and Fairmont. Although they were defeated in both of these games they proved themselves valiant players. Thus, ends the 1938 football season and we hope the boys next year will win every game and to the Seniors who will graduate this year—May you always hit that line hard for a gain in everything you do in life. Page Tuenty-three BASKETBALL JL A very full basketball schedule, plus a fine, courageous ball club, was responsible for a splendid exhibition of basketball this year. One of the feats they accomplished was winning the Little Six trophy. This is the first time the Pirates have ever done this, but they did not stop at one success, they also received a reserve trophy for tying for first place. So, we have an interesting start in singing the praises of our team. W ith the exception of a defeat at the hands of Roosevelt, the Red and Black started the season with a bang. Although the Pirates did hit a slump about the middle of the season, they did hit their stride again when they ran up their second highest score of the year by defeating Xenia, a league opponent, by the score of 45 to 20. W'est Carrollton played their old rival, Miamisburg, twice. The first time found them rather weak, as the Vikings took them 25 to 19. The second time, the Pirates looked like a different team as they held Miamisburg to a one point victory, 18 to 17. Although the Pirates lost to baton, they didn't feel bad because baton is supposed to have one of the strongest clubs in Preble County. The Red and Black team wasn’t afraid of that reputation, and we feel that if Lady Luck hadn’t been with baton the final minutes, we would have been the victors instead of the losers by a score of 40 to 38. The next to the last game of the year found the Pirates flying high and mighty as they ran up their highest score of the year, 52 to 35 against West Milton—the team that went to the State tournament. W'hen the Little Six teams rolled around. West Carrollton was just too hot for them. They romped through each one with the greatest of ease until they came to Franklin. Franklin was supposed to be the contender for the title, and if they could stop W'est Carrollton, the trophy would be theirs. The half of the game found the Pirates trailing by 11 points, but hitting that net from all angles during the last half, they came up to within one point of Franklin’s score. Then, in the final minutes they forged ahead, winning by one point, 28 to 27, which gave us the league championship. Along came tournament time, finding West Carrollton looking like a million dollars. They drew for their first game Centerville, and playing the best game of their career, beat them 33 to 31. The second game, the Pirates disposed of Monroe in easy fashion, 29 to 16, staging a nice last quarter rally. The third game they were still rolling along in unbeatable fashion, defeating W'ayne 16 to 14. But this just couldn’t go on forever, and they finally met their W aterloo when West Milton defeated them by a score of 26 to 11. Even though the Pirates did lose, we can remember there’s always next year. And we cannot forget the three trophies that were won. All we can say as a student body and fans is Thanks a Million, Pirates. So ends the 1938 basketball season with West Carrollton’s outscoring its opponents, 562 to 551. Loesch and Weidner were given places on the All-star Little Six team. Oberer made the second. To these three Seniors graduating this year, we wish the best of success in everything in life. The individual scores for the season are: Loesch 125 Gephart 44 Weidner 125 Thomas, V 32 Oberer 65 Shell 28 Apple 56 Johnson 21 Thomas, H. 45 Chamberlain .... 20 Page Tueniy-four SPORTS FOOTBALL SCHEDULE—1937 T earn We They T earn We They Miamisburg 0 49 Franklin 12 0 Osborne 6 6 Fairmont 0 18 Oak wood 0 31 O.

Miss Bonerau and Miss Shepherd were our first grade teachers. Since that time, many have dropped along the way, yet some have come to us from other schools. We find in our senior year, only eighteen remaining out of seventy-eight who started here. In this group are: Olive Showalter, Leonard Pope, Paul Ebright, Mary Francis McGeath, Laura Mae Martin, Dottie Barker, Jimmy Noel, Mary Ellen Reinhart, Jane Watkins, Catherine Fahrney, Charlotte Wonderly, Gwendolyn Gross, Jim Johnson, Walter Fahrney, Nelson Loesch, James Oberer, Fred Dooley, and Helen Schindler. The next three years, new and more difficult subjects were added. The fifth grade was the first year we had more than one teacher. We had Mr. Cavendar, Mrs. Stoughton, Miss Rauch, and Miss Coryell as teachers. Then came the sixth grade. The great event of this year, that we were all looking forward to, was commencement. We had thus completed six years of our school life.” The seventh grade meant change of rooms and teachers. This year we enjoyed a hike and a halloween party. We were invited to the high school St. Patrick’s party. The eighth grade passed quickly with parties and hikes. I hen came the ninth grade. We have four years yet to go. Except for being called green freshies”—a name which is applied to all freshmen—our first year passed exceedingly well. We were invited to all high school dances. There were varsity teams for both girls and boys. We presented an assembly. This year gave us an idea of what the following three years were to be. In our sophomore year we had Mr. Kindy as adviser. During this year, the girls had a chance to join the Girl Reserves, and the boys, the Hi-Y. We gave our class play, Small Town Romeo,” under the direction of Miss Marsh and Mr. Kindy. Now comes the big junior year. Mr. Kindy, our adviser, left us and went to Troy. Then we obtained Miss Coombs as our new adviser. She helped us a great deal in making money for our Junior-Senior Reception. During this year we selected our class rings and pins. Our junior play, Blarney Street,” was presented under the direction of Miss Marsh. We ended our junior year with the Junior-Senior Reception. The last year of school life” was our senior year. We were crowned with the saying of being dignified seniors. We began the year by electing class officers. Tom Reber was elected president; James Oberer, vice-president; Glenn Copp, secretary; and Jean Nicholas, treasurer. We lost Miss Coombs because of illness, and Miss Marsh took her place. Our senior play, Who Wouldn’t Be Crazy,” under the direction of Miss Small, was a very successful performance. This year has advanced very fast. We have chosen our invitations and name cards. We have had our pictures taken, and are looking forward to the placing of our picture in the halls of old West Carrollton High School. Some of the seniors will participate in the scholarship tests at Miami. We are looking forward to the Junior-Senior Reception, Senior Dance, Commencement, Baccalaureate, and the Alumni Banquet. This will complete our school life,” and we will go to the life’s school.” The past twelve years have been the most enjoyable part of our lives. We will each travel our own way. Thus we go from— School Life to Life’s School.” Charlotte Wonderly.

(Hangs picture on uall). 2nd Jan.: Well come on, we ain’t got all day to clean this place. Page Thirty-three CLASS GIFTS It is quite customary for the Senior Class to present to its members a small gift in remembrance of the happy days they spent in high school here at West Carrollton. We’ve tried very hard to select suitable gifts for every one. To Mae Doughman we give this rolling pin. No doubt she’ll need it before long. Walter Fahrney often has long waits before he has successfully thumbed” a ride. Here’s a detective magazine, Walt. Maybe you can find a clue thtat will help you to get a lift” quicker. Jeraldine Hunt has been sporting several pins lately. Here’s another one to add to your collection, Jerry. We believe Dick Chambers already owns the largest vocabulary of any Senior, but in case he still wants to enlarge it, he can use this little pocket dictionary. To Betty Lucas we give this little car. With this she will be able to attend all the graduating affairs. Jim Obcrer, the miner of the Senior Class, has always hoped that some one would invent a way of getting the coal into the cellars without the use of a shovel. Until that time, 1 guess you’ll have to be contented with this shovel, Jim. As Jean Nicholas has always loved reading books, we’re giving her this Popeye” book. It’s just a little higher type of literature, Jean. We’re not sure whether or not Glenn Copp has recently changed his favorite song. In case he has, here’s a song sheet in which he can find a new one. Mary Kreitzer was always such a good seamstress in her school days. To her we give this needle, hoping that she’ll never be out of practice. Charlotte Wonderly has never been quite able to get rid of her many freckles. To her we give this genuine Freckle Cream,” hoping that this may prove successful. Nelson Loesch is the class milk boy. Here’s an extra pint of milk to use in case you run short some morning. Nelson. Virginia Bond is one of the few Seniors who never makes any noise. So we’re giving her this rattler to make herself known. We heard that Leonard Pope was planning to leave the country after commencement. Maybe with this little cow he won’t feel homesick when it’s time to do the evening chores. Gwendolyn Gross is always telling us of her many boy friends. Here’s some letter paper, Gwendolyn; we know you’re kept busy writing to them all. Fred Dooley believes that his importance around school was never fully realized. So we’re giving him this poster to put in the front hall where everyone can see just w'hat he has done. Since Jane Watkins is so undecided on her men, we wish to present to her this book, My Man,” to help her decide. To Lowell Smith, our handy stage hand, we give this rope, hoping that he can put it to good use. As Girl Reserve treasurer and Junior Class treasurer, Dolly Myers has been a whiz.” With this ruler we hope that her accounts will always rule even. In case Ruth Arkenburg ever breaks her skates, this skate key will come in handy. To our athletic star, Joe Weidner, we give this trophy. This will remind him of his high school days. Mary Ridenour has always been one of the class's featherweights. By reading this literature, though, she ought to put on some weight. Pdge Thirty-four CLASS GlfT5—Continued Ever since Glen Greene had his nose broken in baseball, we’ve been worried over the fact that he might possibly get it broken again. So we want him to have this fast-drying glue to repair any damage done. Maybe Mary Francis McGeath, or just plain Tootie, can learn some more new dance steps from this late publication. Jim Noel enjoyed playing baseball for old W. C. H. S. Here’s a regulation ball in remembrance of those days. To Helen Schindler we give this horseshoe, hoping that it will bind forever the friendship that now exists between her and Catherine. Paul Fbright, the school bookkeeper, always had trouble getting all the school funds to the bank, so we’re giving him this truck for future use. Since Dottie Barker’s main interest is in the navy, we’re giving her this little sailor boy to keep up her spirits. Willard Donovan can probably use this boat during the next high water in Miami Shores. Josephine McGee can always be seen standing in the halls talking to Howard. Here’s a chair, Josephine. Take the load off your feet. We want John Kreitzer to accept this pair of false teeth with the best wishes of the Senior Class. Olive Showalter has her head set on being a baker. With this recipe book, Olive, you should make many dishes that will win your man’s heart. Virginia Jay is one of the farmerettes of our Senior Class. We’re giving her this sunhonnet for future use on the farm. We believe Hayden Imholt will go places as a trumpet player in some jazz band. Here’s a toy trumpet, Hayden, to use when your regular one w'ears out. To Catherine Fahrney we give this megaphone. Now- she won’t have to run clear over to Helen’s every time she wants to tell her something—she can stand on the corner and yell. Tom Reber will undoubtedly be the new librarian at Miami University before many years have passed. To him we give this pencil, hoping that he will help many a poor student with his reports. Clarice Conover lived so close to school during her high school days that she never needed a clock to get her up early. But next fall things will be different at college, so we’re giving her this little watch for use there. Laura Mae Martin helped write the class song. To her we give this copy music. Then she’ll have it handy in case of future inspirations. After Jean leaves West Carrollton, Don Bailey will want to visit her in Minnesota. So we’re giving him this overnight bag to take care of his clothes on the trip. As Mariellen Reinhart is interested in history, we hope this late edition of the New York Times’’ will come in handy. To Jim Johnson we give this bus. Now he can always be sure of transportation to and from Belmont. Paralee Allen informed us the other week that she was again back in circulation and, furthermore, she was going to make the most of it. In such a case, this date book is the most useful gift we can give her. To Evelyn Apple wre give this report card. We hope it will always remind her of the grades she got in school. Page Thirty-five CLASS POEm We're proud of our class of Thirty-Eight, But on the subject of intelligence, we never debate. We have a class of large variety. We even have some on the Honor Society. As we pass slowly down each row. We'll give you information of each as we go. Before we introduce the others let us start right By saying we are Schindler and Fahrney the poets of class night. Hayden Imholt. the Senior class wit Says, He who invented work should have finished it. Ruth Arkenherg loves to debate. And as an actress she really docs rate. Nelson Loesch with his athletic fame. As captain of Basketball, made quite a name. Dottie Barker, the senior class baby. Can always be found crying after the navy. Jane Watkins who is so charming and sophisticated. Oh, that she were in England where aristocrats arc appreciated. Dolly Myers so quiet and sweet. Her lady like ways cannot be beat. Walter Fahrney who models the latest in cars. Can always be found along the highway fixing Hat tires. Evelyn Apple is peppy and ready to go. She cannot be bothered with folks who are slow. Tom Reber is our studious member. His gentlemanly ways we’ll always remember. Mary Ridenour who can always be found with Art, On the sea of matrimony is about to start. Jimmie Oberer is always so slow. When it comes to tall stories, he’s the fastest wc know. To be a good dancer, you must have good rhythm. And when it comes to that, Popcy’s right with 'em. Make room, oh ye men in history renown. Here comes Lowell Smith with a flashy senior background. Jim Johnson is a boy with a heart and a smile. What he lacks in size he makes up in style. Paul Ehright is a quiet, unassuming lad. Of whom we never hear anything bad. When we come to Richard Chambers, you say what you can. But God made him, so let him be a man. Glen Copp’s chief delight is teasing. But his disposition is really quite pleasing. Why, oh why docs anyone worry. When Mariellen doesn't even hurry. Betty Lucas is not too serious and not too gay, But a very good girl in every way. Mary Francis with her pleasing voice, As cheerleader is everyone's choice. Charlotte Wondcrly, on whom wc can always depend. Is the kind of a girl who will always have a good friend. Laura Martin is not very tall, in fact, quite small. She’s bright and jolly and well liked by all. Nature made some men green, But Glen is quite an asset to our baseball team. A group of girls with Joe you will always find. And for each he has quite a line. Clarice Conover who has no wish but to be glad. And whenever you sec her she is anything but sad. Mae Doughman who is happy and carefree. Says, Why aren’t they all contented like me. Grace is to the body, what good sense is to the mind. But according to Willard, you must be athletically inclined Donald Bailey is president of the Hi-Y, we'll admit. On the football field he is full of vigor and grit. Olive Showaltcr who swings it with all of her might. Says, Watch out, it’s Junior Hall tonight.” Mary Kreitzer can be determined from the rest of the crowd. Because she is so fair and never proud. In tones so sweet we hear Jean speak. She’s a maid so charming but yet so meek. Josephine is a petite girl with a winning way, Wc wonder what she’ll do some day. Jimmy Noel is no sinner nor a saint perhaps. But we think he’s the very best of chaps. Virginia Jay who is so good at the seams. Will darn socks some day for the man of her dreams. Virginia Bond surely likes to work. From it she’s never been known to shirk. Gwendolyn Gross loves to draw'. And in her sketches wc never find a flaw. Jcraldinc has lots of fun and many joys. But her main pastime is making eyes at the boys. Paralee Allen has lost interest in school this year. An outside influence so we hear. Last on the list comes Fred Dooley, He is a salesman really and truly. Now that we’ve told you about all of us. We are ready to leave without any fuss. Catherine Fahrney Helen Schindler Page Thirty-six CLASS sonc OF ’38 Our dear Mr. Shade, Please let us explain How much we’ve enioyed our stay with you. We’ve studied and we played, We failed and we prayed, And most of all we were mean and rude. Oh won’t you please forgive us, only this we ask, And try to think of us the best you can. (If you can) It’s time that we leave This dear school of ours And now we are sorry it must end. 2. Our dear Faculty, The class of ’38 Desire to thank you one and all. For the happy days We’ve spent in our school. It means a lot to everyone of us. You have been kind to us and sometimes cross, for our sake. Forgive us, please, but don’t forget us, this we ask. We’ve tried to express Our thanks to you. So Farewell from Class of ’38.
