Many of the activities are remembered; some, however, are forgotten. We hope that these pictures may help you recall the spirit of friendliness and good will that prevails at West Carrollton. This is not a conventional year book, but trusting that this PIRATAN will endure as a lasting source of enjoyment to you, the friends of West Carrollton School, the Seniors respectfully submit it with the sincere hope that you will always cherish it. If the staff succeeded in its purpose, then the breaking of tradition was worth while. 7o M'l.

Evidence of this is their record of 5 wins, 1 loss and 2 ties, the best ledger a Pirate squad has been able to boast since the early '30's. This year the Pirates entered the Little Buckeye League, consisting of gridders from Tipp City, Versailles, West Milton, and West Carrollton, after having dropped from the Little Six League with the close of the '45 season. Tipp City copped the League title, their only conference defeat coming at the hands of the Pirates by a 21 to 0 score. W. C. shared second place with the West Milton club. In order to add league games with West Milton, and Tipp City, and a non-league game with Urbana, the Pirates dropped Osborne, Hillsboro, Northridge and Franklin from their schedule. The local boys looked like top-notch gridders from the opening Miamisburg game, which ended in a 6 to 6 tie, down through the 25 to 7 victory over Vandalia Butler, which brought the season to a close. The Versailles Tigers gave the Pirates their lone defeat, 19 to 16. The Pirates tried gamely to overcome a 12 point margin in the final period, but time ran out on them. During the eight game schedule our boys rolled up a total of 140 points while holding their opponents to a scant 57 points. The Pirates average for the season was 17.5 points per game, their opponents averaged only 7.1 points. This year the Pirates fielded a line that outweighed most of their opponents and was exceptionally heavy for a W. C. squad. This factor added to several fleet-footed backs, plus the excellent coaching of Mr. Eisele and his assistants, Mr. Bogan and Mr. Graban, accounted for the successful season. Bob Lawhorn, veteran senior guard, was unanimously elected captain of the squad by his team mates. The loss of nine senior lettermen will be severely felt by next year's squad, but there are a number of young hopefuls who will be in there pitching next fall. Halt! Halt! Halt! I. STEVENS S.

Handsome Tom Arsdale and his lady-killer roommate, Oke, are on the verge of graduation from college. Tom has a terrific reputation as woman-hater. He wishes he could stop being girl-shy, and meet nice girls like — well, take Babs Sanfordl His roommate, Oke, is a tremendous contrast to Tom. Oke loves girls. He adores ♦hem. And’s he's faithful to two and three at a time. Thinking that Tom has a hate on women, Babs Sanford decides she'll do something about it. She manages to change places with the girl who cleans up Tom's and Oke's room. This should give her a chance to work on girl-shy Tom — and it certainly does. The Impression Babs makes on Tom when he first sees her is about as un-noticeable as two planets crashing in midair. Then, just as something beautiful starts to develop between Tom and Babs. in comes Tom's father with a girl from home. Tom's father thinks the girl from home is just the girl for Tom. Babs is put on the 8pot, when the girl she changed places with returns. The mix-up grows, and poor Tom wishes he could just evaporate out of it all. In the end, Tom is engaged to Babs, Birdie goes back to Chuck, and Sylvia gets the college poet — Alfred Tennyson Murge-toyd. 'It aod lAJoAJbUUj, Qourdmen tone. Itano-te V A R S I T V First Row — P.

Playing a 17 game sked, the squad captured 13 victories, dropping 4 decisions. In district tournament play, the Pirates added 3 more victories to their ledger, dropping Gratis, Blanchester, and Sabina, going down in defeat at the hands of Waynesville's Spartans in a semi-final tilt. Among the squads which fell before the Pirates were several class A teams, namely Oak wood, Miamisburg, and Osborn and class B powers included Eaton, Dixie, Madison-Trotwood, and Jefferson. Of the Pirate conquerors, 3 were class A squads — Fairmont, Northridge and Franklin. Lebanon furnished the Pirates with their other defeat. Several scoring records were shattered by the high scoring five. Their 730 point total for the season, a 42.9 average, ranked above any former Pirate team. Elmer Smith's average of 12.7 points per game placed him at the top of Pirate individual seasonal average list. His total of 216 points put him second to Vernon Thomas, '40, in high individual scoring. Smith was a unanimous choice for the Dayton Daily News All-Star Tournament Team. The Pirate Reserves gave us a preview of what W. C. has to look forward to in the future, as the plucky aggregation won 11 of their 17 contests. Service li the heu wobd Fir ! Row — E. Baker, P.

To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character is the purpose of the Hi-Y Club. It stresses the 4 C's : clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, and clean being. The West Carrollton chapter of this national organization has 34 members on the roll. The club tries to build leadership and character in high school boys. The local club began this year with a joint hayride with the Y-teens. The girls provided the food, the boys, the transportation and appetites. The annual induction service was held with the Y-teens at the Lutheran Church, in a candle light service. During the year, the club sponsored many worthy projects, including the distribution of Christmas baskets, financial aid to the local Religious Education program, contribution to the World Reconstruction Plan, support of several Y. M. C. A. projects, and the noon picture program from which a generous portion of the proceeds will be given to the Stadium Light Fund. The outstanding work of the school and community in giving over $300.00 to the World Youth Fund, was largely due to the picture program and the Tag Day sale. The club also sponsored a scholarship in elementary education for a native African youth. of tliele @ uj,G Our World Under God was the 1947 slogan of the various organizations of the Y. W. C. A., of which the Y-teens are a part. To express this feeling of brotherhood, the Y-teens of the Dayton area contributed money for a Quonset Hut to replace a bombed out Y. W. building in the Philippines. Our Y-teen Club contributed $120, which was raised by a Silver Tea put on by the Women's Advisory Council, by the sale of Dolly Duzits and food snacks, and by contributions from the girls. The Club also carried on a service project at Christmas, furnishing clothes and Christmas toys for needy families in the mountains of Kentucky. Other highlights of the year were a hay-ride with the Hi-Y, the candle-light induction service for new members, and a Christmas party at which big and little sisters exchanged gifts.

Regretting the loss of our adviser, Mr. Cribley? Spreading the fame of W.C.H.C. through our athletes' contributions to all sports? Selling pencils to improve our financial status?

Wicks hair is crisp and black and curl'd, His face is like the tan. Brown's brow is v et with honest sweat, He earns whate’er he can. Myers looks the whole world in the face. For he owes not any man. Week in, week out, from mom till night. You can hear John's trombone blow. It calls attention to the names On the National Honor Roll. There's Jean and Sam, Eugene and Ken, And Nancy Z, that made the goal. And G. I.'s coming home from sea Looked in at the open door. There's Bob Hippie and Dan Cahill, O'Reilly, Cantrell, then some more; Joe Mader next and then Zennie; Brave fellows whom the girls adore. We go on Friday to the gym, To see the athletes play, Like Elmer Smith and Schumaker, Who brought us victory day by day; And always on the side lines, Stone, Grice, and Barger stay. It sounds to Link like a golden voice When track meets start to hum, While Alex thinks of baseball And the long hoped-for home-run. And in the hard, rough fall of the year, Chambers and Smith shine in gridiron sun. Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, Onward through class plays they go; Bryan, Arnett, Betty, and Jo Ann. Ruthie and Lawhom, stars of the show, Something attempted, something done, To place the class in a higher goal. We must remember Pat and Rosanne For athletics wide and varied; And Dorothy Greene and Pinkerton Who may soon be getting married. And justly should this verse include Our teaching staff quite harried. Thanks, thanks to thee, our worthy school. For the lessons thou hast taught, For at the flaming forge of life Our fortunes must be wrought; And may the future of our lives Abound in deed and thought. — With apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow by Nancy Zehrung GIgAA P o-jiltecif, Time — Many, many years in the future. Place — At the foot of Mt. Olympus. Scene — Jupiter is welcoming an old man who has just arrived. They shake hands and Jupiter says — Jupiter: Welcome John, glad to have you with us. Grandpa: Glad to be here! Do you happen to have any extra room? I was told you had plenty of space. Jupiter: Yes sir, I've got just the spot. But would you like to have a look around first? A lot of your old classmates are here. Grandpa: Sure would. Kind of like to see my old friends. Jupiter: O. K. Come on, let's go this way! See that big house over there? Charles O'Reilly lives there, you know, he owned all those race horses. Colonel O'Reilly 1 believe they called him. Joe Mader trained all his horses for him, didn't he? Grandpa: Yep. That's right. Say there go Bob Lawhorn and Charlie Bryan! They coached football at Notre Dame for a number of years. Jupiter: Over there is where Dorothy Greene and Rosanne Barringer live. Dorothy wrote soap operas for the radio and Rosanne played the leading part in most of them. Grandpa: Are Chester Link and Pat Johnson here? You know Chester became the billiard champion of the world finally, while Pat went with him and sold pool tables. Jupiter: Look out! Here comes that Richard Brown in his automobile. He turned out to be an automobile racer and he drives just like that up here. Grandpa: Say, who lives in that house, where all the music's coming from? Jupiter: Three people. Carl Schumaker, Bob Wickline and Sam Heck. Carl had that famous orchestra on earth. Sam sang for him in those days while Bob became the world's best whistler. Grandpa: Why, there's old Paul Myers, he bought out Ringling Bros, and hired Lois Stone as his trapeze artist. What a pair. Jupiter: Let's go over to the drug store and see who's in there. Grandpa: Well I'll be darned if there isn’t Danny Cahill, Harvey Zennie and Elmer Smith. Danny became a famous movie star while Harvey got to be Chief of Police in West Carrollton and Elmer became head of the Salvation Army. Jupiter: Yes, and there is Clarence Chambers, Ruth Wilson and Shirley Grice. Shirley ran a large beauty shop for a long time while Ruth drew a big time comic strip, and get this — Clarence became one of the stage's funniest comedians. Grandpa: Who are all those people sitting around that table over there. Seems to me I recollect some of them. Jupiter: Well, there's Jim Alexander, the former editor of West Carrollton's leading newspaper; Jane Arnett who wrote the lovelorn column for his newspaper; and Jo Ann Jonas who wrote a column on cooking. She was champion fudge maker at the County Fair several times, too. On the other side is Betty Harman, Clelia Barger, and Bob Hippie. Betty settled down and became a farmer's wife while Clelia got a job as disc jockey at a radio station and old Bob ran his big hotel in West Carrollton for a long time. Grandpa: My, my, it sure has been a long time. Say, 1 remember those four over there. That's Jimmy Morton, the former world's heavyweight boxing champion, Kenny Hagwood, who used to own the Fuller Brush Co. Walt Smith who became a very good preacher and Charles Cantrell who owned that big chain of restaurants all over the country. Yes, and that's Eugene Seabold over there. He turned into one of the nations' leading sports writers. Jupiter: See those three girls over there? The one on the left is Donna Pinkerton, the famous Opera Singer, the one in the middle is Jean Stevens who took old Miss Marsh's place at W. C. H. S., and Nancy Zehrung, Ohio's first lady Senator. Yes, they all seemed to have made it. Of course, some had a tighter squeeze than others but they got here. Grandpa: Yep, the class of 47 seems to have left their mark in the world. Well, Jupiter show me my place to stay. I'm ready to settle down. — JOHN McNABB jblamatic piaduc hit CAST Bob Lawhorn James Alexander Kenneth Hagwood Nancy Zehrung Ruth Wilson . Miss Woodman Sam Heck Paul Myers and C. Chambers THE SKELETON WALKS Discovered on the stage was Mrs. Hubbard. Dr. Fersig's strange housekeeper. Slowly she crawled about, tapping the floor. Time after time she put her ear to the floor and listened carefully. But each time she shook her head in disappointment. Dr. Fersig entered silently with dirty face and hands, and unkempt hair. Something was wrong! To this lonely old house on a small island connected to the mainland by only one bridge came Elaine Blair, her lawyer-fiance, and her Mother to look over the property which Elaine had inherited at her uncle's death. To their surprise, they found the house in the possession of the suave and mysterious physician. The old house was worthless, but both Elaine and Dr. Fersig knew that a large sum of money was secreted somewhere on the premises. Because the bridge to the mainland was mysteriously dynamited, they were compelled to spend the night in the old house. And then things began to happen. Strange, ethereal noises were heard. A skeleton walked thru the dim shadows of the house. Elaine suddenly disappeared. Bill, her fiance, made a strange discovery, and at the end came the big surprise. Everything was explained and Elaine left in possession of her fortune. 'V f Jane Arnett Joan Jonas Lou Stone Betty Harman Charles Bryan Directress.......
