C. F. HOLLIDAY When Mr. Holliday announced his intention of retiring in December of 1952, a feeling of sadness and great loss permeated the entire student body and faculty of West Carrollton. Elected to the Board of Education in 1929 and serving continuously until his recent retirement gives Mr. Holliday the distinction of having served longer than any other board member in the history of West Carrollton. In 1932 he assumed the duties of part-time clerk of the board. By 1950 the responsibilities of this position had so increased that Mr. Holliday was appointed full-time clerk. During the years that Mr. Holliday was a member of the “school family,” we students came to know him well and to admire him greatly. Accounting for the finances of the school is a meticulous job, hut Mr. Holliday was never too engrossed with his task to stop for a friendly exchange of words with students or faculty alike. Always he was gracious when his work was interrupted to drive some sick pupil home or when he was asked to substitute for a bus driver. When we pass through the pay line in the cafeteria, we miss his cordial manner, his genial smile. The class of 1953 and the Piratan staff take great pride in dedicating this edition of the yearbook to a man who has so endeared himself to the students of West Carrollton. To Mr. and Mrs. Holliday we extend our wishes for every possible happiness as they establish their new home in California. Many of Us Arrive on Buses First We Go to Our Homerooms 9:31 . . .

HOFF The construction of the new elementary school building at West Carrollton has added greatly to Mr. Shade’s responsibilities this year, but his heavy load has not robbed him of his cheerful smile for those whom he meets in the course of a school day. Never is he so busy that he will not put aside his work in order to help students with their problems. In his twenty-two years as superintendent of the West Carrollton Schools, Mr. Shade has seen the total school enrollment grow from 750 to 1735, the faculty increase from 31 to 62, and the plant increase by the construction of the auditorium building, the stadium, the Moraine City School, and now the industrial arts building and the West Carrollton Elementary School. To the members of the Board of Education and to our principal, dean of girls, and school secretary goes much of the credit for our good school system. The Board has devoted many hours in helping Mr. Shade determine school policies, while Mr. Russell, our principal, and Miss Dean, our dean of girls, aid materially in the execution of these policies. The friendly, cheerful, and efficient atmosphere of the school office reflects the personality of our school secretary, Mrs. Charlotte Hoff. MR.

CLASS FLOWER American Beauty Rose CLASS COLORS Red and white Thanks for the Memories Just four years ago there entered West Carrollton High School a group of lively, rather mischievous boys and girls. In the crowded, confusing halls they were pushed around by the upperclassmen. The advanced textbooks seemed very heavy; the teachers, so demanding. But they were willing to work, and the years flew by swiftly. It was a struggle at times to cooperate, and things did not always work out just right. Yet this group never gave up. They learned how to work together, and they grew in confidence. After the freshman initiation the inferior feeling left this class of 53, and they began to participate in school activities. That first year they worked hard selling Christmas cards; later there was a magazine sale; and finally they faithfully paid their dues to finance school activities in the years to come. Both their freshman and sophomore pep assemblies were successful, and their junior play, 7 he Pennington Case, was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed the Junior-Senior Reception which was held at the Miami Valley Golf Club with Carl Taylor’s orchestra playing. The class of ’53 entered its senior year with pride and determination to make that year one never to be forgotten. Their play, Clementine, was a memorable performance. Getting their senior pictures, choosing their invitations and name cards, visiting men and women at work at various occupations on Career Day, and electing a homecoming queen were all a part of that exciting year. From their comparatively flimsy freshman parties to their grand finale, the Senior Prom, the years 1949 to 1953 constituted a marvelous and wonderful experience. Since they can’t express all the things they feel about their high school days, the senior class of 1953 should like to leave in its yearbook just this one brief message: “Thanks for the memories.” By Janice Kronborg Donald Adkins Football 3, 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Baseball 2, 3, 4 Track 1 Piratan 4 Hi-Y 2, 3, 4 Social Science Club 4 William Akers Doris Bowden Basketball 2 Bowling 2 CAA 2 Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Minstrel 2, 3 Y-Teens 2, 3 Norma Jean Bowden Hockey 1 GAA 1 Glee Club 2, 3, 4 Minstrel 2, 3 Pirates' Log 4 Junior Red Cross 1 Allied Youth 4 We Are the Seniors of ’53 Joyce Brandenburc Wilbur Wright 1 Parker Co-Op 2 Bowling 4 Y-Teens 4 Betty Brown Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4 Bowling 1, 2, 3, 4 Baseball 1, 2 Cheerleader 4 GAA 1, 2, 3, 4 Glee Club 1, 2, 3 Minstrel 2, 3 Piratan 4 Junior Red Cross 2 Y-Teens 2, 3, 4 James Lee Brown Miamisburg 1, 2, 3 Football 4 Marcella Carroll Hockey 1 GAA 1 Glee Club 2, 4 Class Play 3, 4 Junior Red Cross 3 Y-Teens 3 4 Wanda Berniece Cecil Fairmont 1, 2 Bowling 4 Y-Teens 4 Clifford Cornett Class Officer 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Bowling 4 Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4 Gym Assistant 4 Class Play 4 Hi-Y 4 Social Science Club 4 Scholarship Team 4 National Honor Society Mary B.

Onto this field paraded the queen, Jackie Duncan, accompanied by her court. In the above picture the queen is surrounded by her attendants who are, from left to right: Pat Gaugh, Karen Kronborg, Pat Price, Carol Lovell, Pat Thompson, Patsy Kinney, Nancy Aufuldish, and Phyllis Hatcher. Passing under the raised batons after the crowning ceremony is the queen who is escorted by the captain of the football team, Jerry Throckmorton. Seated on either side ot yueen Jackie Duncan are her senior attendants, Carol Lovell and Pat Price, as they were driven into the stadium for the crowning ceremony. Immediately following the game, many of the football fans went to the gymnasium where the Homecoming Dance was held. Dancing to the music of Joe Aceto, the queen, her court, the team, the alumni, the high school students, and the faculty had a wonderful time. By Jackie Duncan SENIOR PROM The Carrousel Room in Dayton was the scene of the Senior Prom which was given by the Class of ’53 on the night of December thirtieth. The Christmas trees and holly decorations and the music of Carl Taylor’s band provided a lovely setting for the dance which was attended by students, alumni, and faculty.

Standing: Cliff Cornett, Patti Price, Jerry Throckmorton, Charlotte Parlett, Oti� Skillings. t The assembly at which the nine students pictured above were presented their National Honor Society pins will remain for them one of the proudest moments in their lives. To be elected to the society, one not only must stand scholastically in the top one-third of his class but also must have demonstrated qualities of leadership, rendered service to the school and the community, and shown himself to be of good character. Moreover, only fifteen per cent of a graduating class may be elected to the organization. These nine students were judged by their classmates and their teachers as the members of the Class of ’53 who most deserved membership in the National Honor Society.

Compiled by Dean Ellis and Jim Parker JUNIORS Since the class of ’54 numbered ninety students as the 1952-1953 year started, it was necessary to break the school tradition of combining into one section the entire junior class. Instead, the class of ’54 has had to maintain two separate homerooms. Through the excellent administration of their capable officers, however, they have been able to coordinate their activities successfully. This year has been a busy and happy one for the juniors. Some have held offices in the various school organizations; many have aided materially in the success of these clubs and activities. The sports roster is well studded with the names of juniors. The juniors have selected their class rings, participated in their first Career Day, presented their first play, and entertained the seniors at the Junior-Senior Reception. They are now looking forward to a profitable and exciting senior year. The following students of the junior class were absent the day that pictures were taken: Leon Abney, Jim Bush, Archie Collins, Sharon Collinsworth, Nelson Curp, and Bill Dorsey.

It was their duty and pleasure to initiate the freshmen. For this purpose, they devised on the stage a type of obstacle course which the freshmen, blindfolded and dressed in ridiculous attire, had to crawl, walk, and fall through. When these students who constitute the class of ’55 attained sophomore status, they found membership in Hi-Y, Y-Teens, and the Social Science Club open to them for the first time. Many have joined the ranks of these clubs and have contributed to their programs. Just as eagerly, the sophomores have participated in the school sports program, presented their pep assembly, worked at basketball games, and entered into other class and school activities which have made the year so memorable for them. The following students are members of the class of ’55 but did not receive pictures: LaVonne Mitcheltree and Gerald Rose. SOPHOMORE OFFICERS and ADVISERS Left to right: Mr. Donald C.

W. Walker Mary Weidner Harry LeRoy Wells Janice Wentlender Bill West Karen Sue Wilson Alice M. Wood Jean Zechar FRESHMEN Numbering one hundred and forty, the freshman class is the largest class among the upper four grades. It is the first ninth grade in the history of the school to require four sections. Even before they were initiated by the sophomores, the freshmen had become active in scholarship, music, sports, and the social life of the school. Many held membership in the Universe Club, the G.A.A., and Allied Youth; and the class of ’56 was well represented in the band. John Coon played with the varsity football squad, and Pete Beckett was placed on the high school basketball squad. The freshmen realized that the years to come would be expensive ones for them; so they devised plans for raising money. Early in the year they sold Pirate stickers; later they sold Christmas cards; and finally they sold refreshments at the Eaton basketball game. Throughout the year they faithfully paid their dues. They are now eagerly awaiting their next three years of high school. The following students are members of the class of 56, but, unfortunately, their pictures are missing: Jean Blake, John Coon, Joann Fent, Ronnie Hall, Karen Kronborg, Thelma Lewis, Bruce Martindale, Donald Mattox, Dennis Michael, Nancy McMahon, Roger Powers, Gloria Taggart, James Tilton, John Wagner, and Edward Wilson.

The PIRATES’ LOG, the mimeographed school paper, is published monthly for the purpose of keeping the students and the faculty of the high school and the two elementary schools informed about school affairs. All the staff members either are taking journalism this year or have had the class previously; and a large portion of the writing, editing, illustrating, and mimeographing of the paper takes place in the journalism class. In order to give all staff members experience in managing the publication, a different editor is selected for each issue. Mrs. Younebere is the adviser to the PIRATE’S LOG staff.

WEST CARROLLTON This year’s band is one of the best our school has had in several years. It has been exceedingly active and has aided tremendously in giving spirit and enthusiasm to our school. The band began its activities by playing at the Montgomery County Fair with a mass of other high school bands. Despite the bad weather, it gave a fine performance. It also played for the Republican Parade in Dayton. The band gave well-drilled exhibitions of marching and playing at most of the football games, and it has played for many basketball games. The band majorettes are to be commended. Ann Weidle and Rosetta Pruit, along with their assistants, have done a remarkable job in heading the band at football games and on parades. The band considers them as very valuable assets. Fourth file: Carolyn Stocksdale, Edward Grant, Richard Anders, Carol Pfister, Lora Mae Cox, Cecilia Reeves, Doris Tudor, Joel Wilson.

JACK KAISER Director HIGH SCHOOL BAND The band members are very proud of the newly-formed Band Parents Organization. This group has added plumes and belts to our band uniforms and has given music to the band library. The selling of Readers’ Digest magazines in order to raise funds was their latest project. On November 14th the band sponsored a dance called the Autumn Ball which was well attended. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated, and everyone present had a wonderful time. The band has been under the direction of Mr. Kaiser; and the officers for the year have been Otis Skillings, President; Jack Knight, Vice President; Pat Gaugh, Secretary; Carolyn Long, Treasurer; Bob Elliott, Librarian; Nancy Aufuldish, ninth grade Representative; Janie Cox, eighth grade Representative; and Bob Irvin, seventh grade Representative.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Glee Club, which is under the direction of Mr. Ross Robbins, has a membership of sixty girls. This year’s group is larger than any previous group. The Glee Club made its first public appearance of the year when it presented a program at a fall meeting of the P.T.A. During the Christmas season the Glee Club sang a series of holiday songs at the WLW-D television studio. This occasion marked the first time that the entire group had appeared on television. A number of the same selections were presented at the Christmas program which was given for the community in the school auditorium. After Christmas vacation the Glee Club began to rehearse the songs which 'they sang at the competitive music festival at Vandalia High School and those which they presented in April at the Spring Festival. The group concluded its year by singing at the baccalaureate service. By Phyllis Emig and Geraldine Hippie ORCHESTRA The West Carrollton School Orchestra, which is under the direction of Mr. Jack Kaiser, has played at some of the more important school programs. Throughout the year, it has gained recognition as a talented group. Several musical selections were presented by the orchestra and were enjoyed by everyone at the Senior Play. The orchestra also participated in the Minstrel and in the Spring Festival. Two orchestra members, Julie Crater and Lloyd Kress, played at the Junior High School Music Contest in 1952, and both received a superior rating. The orchestra is proud of their fine achievement.

The council has two student representatives from each homeroom from grades seven through twelve. This year the West Carrollton council of the Junior Red Cross sent students from our school to the Veterans’ Hospital in Dayton to wrap bandages and to prepare syringes for sterilization. Gift boxes for children overseas were filled by the students in each homeroom. In March the council conducted its annual enrollment drive. The officers of the Junior Red Cross Council are Sue Miller, President; Mary Ann Kirchner, Secretary; and Grace Brodbeck, Treasurer. Miss Ruth Hovermale is the adviser to the council.

Y-TEENS Our local Y-Teens Club works as a unit of the Dayton Y.W.C.A. Our officers joined with those from all the Dayton clubs to participate in a training school for cabinet members. At this meeting we demonstrated a typical cabinet session. The next week we gave the same demonstration at a training school for new advisers. We participated with all the Y-Teens of the Dayton area in a recognition service at the First Lutheran Church. Later, in cooperation with the Hi-Y Club, we had our own induction service at the local Methodist Church. Our club meetings have featured such programs as a panel discussion interpreting our purpose, discussion groups concerning ways in which Y-Teens can help girls in our school, skits in preparation for an assembly on courtesy, and outside speakers. Among the speakers were Rabbi Wise of Temple Israel; Mrs. Arnold, who spoke to both the Hi-Y and Y-Teens on boy-girl relations; and a young Y.W.C.A. director from Thailand. We also had some grand recreational meetings. In the fall we had a hike which ended with a chili supper; a “Sweater Swag, a dance to which anyone wearing a sweater of the lucky color, yellow, gained free admission; a party for the Hi-Y; and an overnight slumber party. The concessions at the football games and a potato chip sale helped us meet our budget. A large portion of our earnings were contributed to religious education in our schools, the Community Chest, and World Fellowship: and we helped needy girls in our school.

ALLIED YOUTH Under the leadership of Judge Paul Sherer of Dayton, Allied Youth Post 581 was organized in the spring of 1952 and formally chartered at a ceremony in May. An international organization. Allied Youth has as its purpose “to seek the truth concerning beverage alcohol and the best way of life in relation to this problem.” It also stands for alcohol-free recreation. The three F’s of Allied Youth—facts, friends, and fun—are considered in planning post meetings. Programs feature films, speakers, skits, scientific demonstrations, and panel and open discussions. Parties, dances, square dances, skating, hikes, and good food add to the fun. To publicize the purpose of Allied Youth, members put on programs before the Lions and Rotary Clubs, and they hope to be invited to other service clubs. The post participated in an all-Dayton-area rally in February. In November, Jerry Coon. John Coon. Roger Duncan, Charles Pettit, Charles Taylor, and Miss Dean attended the National Allied Youth Conference which was held at the luxurious Buck Hill Falls Inn in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. To raise money for the trip, the post gave a Presidential Prom on election eve, had the concessions stand at a basketball game, and sold magazine subscriptions. This year the membership has grown from fifty-five to seventy-six, and the post envisions an active future for Allied Youth at West Carrollton.

UNIVERSE CLUB The Universe Club, which is affiliated with the Science Clubs of America, has had an excellent program this year. In the fall, we had a picnic at Hills and Dales. Later on, we took an all-day trip to the Borden’s Dairy, the Lowe Brothers Paint Company, and the Oxford Miami Paper Company. In April, a group from the club went to Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and Industry, the Shedd Aquarium, and the Adler Planetarium. A number of outstanding speakers have talked to the club. Among these are Mr. Conti of the Space Medicine Laboratory; Mr. Zurbuchen, a Swiss meteorologist; and Mr. Sutter, a local amateur astronomer. The club sponsored several activities in order to raise money. We printed and sold programs at all the home football games, had the concession stand at the Northridge basketball game, and in March sponsored the Spacemen’s Ball. The first semester officers were Joe Snell, President; John Zurbuchen, Vice President; Lloyd Kress, Secretary; Leonard Smith, Treasurer; and Jack Stotts, Sergeant-at-Arms. The second semester officers in the same order were John Zurbuchen, Joe Snell, Nancy Aufuldish, Sonny Hahn, and Leonard Smith. Mr. V. M. Showalter is the adviser for our group. By Charles Akers SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB The Social Science Club was established at West Carrollton High School in 1949 as a service club under the guiding hand of Mr. Huffman, who still serves as an adviser. In December of 1950 Mr. Guiler joined the group as an assistant adviser. The club’s twenty-six members are elected from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The Social Science Club holds regular meetings twice a month. One meeting each month is of a social or recreational nature—a dance, a picnic, caroling, ice skating, or an evening at Mr. Huffman s home. The other monthly meetings are concerned with a discussion of a current national or international problem. Several foreign students from Miami University have spoken to the club. Through the club’s affiliation with the Dayton Council on World Affairs, our members have been able to participate in forums attended by students from many of the Dayton and Montgomery County schools and were given an opportunity to present a half-hour radio broadcast over station WING. In November, twenty-four members of the club drove to Chicago to spend the four-day Labor Day week end becoming acquainted with the various facets of a large city. In February, six club members and three other high school students went with Mr. Guiler and Mr. and Mrs. Huffman to New York to see the United Nations at work and to see life in our country’s largest city. Later in the spring, the Social Science Club sent delegates to Cleveland to the mock United Nations General Assembly. By Sue Miller Seated, left to right: Charlotte Parlett, Jackie Duncan.

FOOTBALL Rounding out the most successful season that a Pirate gridiron squad has enjoyed since 1948, this year’s West Carrollton eleven grabbed four verdicts against five setbacks. In the Southwestern Buckeye League competition, the Pirates still fell below par as they emerged with only one victory in five attempts and thus repeated their fifth-place finish of a year ago. However, against non-league opponents, the Pirates captured three out of four. In the statistical department, the Pirates were outscored 117 to 82; however, the West Carrollton crew piled up 88 first downs to their opponents’ 87. Leading scorers on the team were Jerry Throckmorton and Bill Wood with 24 markers each. LINEMEN Lower arc: Clint McCroson. Frank Smith. Jim Byrd. Jerry Davis.

This year the Pirates ran from the straight T except in the first two games when they operated from the single wing. Leading ground gainers were senior fullback Jerry Throckmorton, junior halfback Jack Pummill, and junior quarterback Bill Wood. On defense the Pirates usually operated from the 6-3-2 type of defense. Don McClelland led the squad in tackles; and. because of his and the other linemen’s fine work, the Pirates gained the repu-tation of having one of the best defensive units in the Miami V alley. Story book endings were the rule rather than the exception when the Pirates met both Jefferson and Germantown. Last minute passes enabled West Carrollton to down the Broncos 13 to 6 and the Cardinals 12 to 6. In the Madison and Butler games the Pirates fought very courageously, but the superior strength ol the opponents told the story in both games. The West Milton game proved to be the oddity of the year. The Pirates amassed 13 first downs to 1 for the Bulldogs, yet the final score read: West Milton 7, West Carrollton 0! In the Eaton contest the Pirates were downed by a twenty-point second-half barrage, while in the Randolph encounter the Pirates led for three quarters only to falter again and lose 14 to 7. The Red and Black proved too powerful for Tipp City and then rounded out the season by walloping Lebanon 25 to 7. As one can readily see, the Pirates proved to be a hard-luck team. With only a few breaks the Pirates could have had a more highly successful season than was actually realized. The Pirate running game was not at all the explosive type; instead it tended to grind out yard by yard with dogged persistence. The aerial attack of West Carrolton ran hot and cold the entire year with Bill Wood and Carl Mays doing most of the tossing. Six of Coach Carr’s senior lettermen are being graduated this year. They are the following: Frank Smith, a guard whose line play consistently aided the Pirates; Clint McCroson, a big tackle who was a fine all-round lineman; Barry McNabb, one of the best defensive ends that West Carrollton fans have seen for many years; Jerry Throckmorton, the jack-of-all-trades for the Pirates, who passed occasionally, frequently demonstrated his brilliant running, and also was a superb defensive linebacker; Don Adkins, the fleet-footed “mighty-mite” of the squad, who played as an offensive halfback and as a defensive safety man; and last but not least. Bob Fahrney, who divided his time between being a hard-driving fullback and a rugged tackle. The season was climaxed at the League Banquet held at West Milton where Madison, Butler, and West Milton were feted as league champions. The Pirates were well represented on the all-league selections as they placed Barry McNabb and Don McClelland on the defensive ur.it and Jerry Throckmorton on the offensive one. Jerry Davis and Bill Wood gained honorable mention.

The Little Pirates amassed 173 points while the total score for their opponents was 51. The mainstay of the team was found primarily in the ninth-grade players, most of whom played on both the offensive and defensive platoons. Those players who show good promise for next year’s varsity team are Ronald Beckett, Vernon Carmack, Forrest Carroll, Don Clskey, Jim Forsyth, Jack Freier, Gary Gauldin, Dale McKee, Earl Murphy, Larry Parks, Jerry Parlette, Jim Randolph, Ramon Rix, Paul Roddy, Don Ruhkamp, and Ralph Wilson. Some of the fellows in the eighth grade are very promising for future high school football. Among these boys are Henry Weidner, who played excellently at right half, and Benny Preston, a quarterback. The passing attack of Dick Schindler, a seventh grader, put many touchdowns over for the Little Pirates. These are the games in which the Little Pirates drove through the season undefeated : 28 .... 12 19 Eaton 0 West Carrollton.... 30 West Milton ..... 0 West Carrollton 19 Hibberd (Richmond) 7 West Carrollton 19 Miamisburg 12 28 Oakwood .... 7 West Carrollton 30 Franklin 13 By Ken Downs VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Left to right: Eddie Baker, Jack Pummill.

Standing: Mr. Steve Graban, Assistant Coach; Jim Blasingame, Jerry Estepp, Pete Beckett, Jerry Davis, Jim Byrd, Rickey Branner, Dick Gibbons, Mr. Donald Bogan, Coach The 1952-1953 edition of the West Carrollton Pirates basketball squad proved to be a solid contingent as they captured the co-championship of the Southwestern Buckeye League and won eleven of their seventeen season contests. Although the Pirates were lacking in height in several contests, they made up for this deficit by sheer fight and aggressiveness. The Pirates employed their familiar 1-2-2 zone defense and managed to confuse many of their opponents with it. Much of West Carrollton’s offense was based on the fast break principle, the 2-3 set up, and the double pivot. Against Class B competition, the Pirates rang up ten victories while being beaten only by Randolph and Seven Mile. However, against Class A clubs the Pirates turned back only Parker while taking it on the chin from four other contingents. In the Southwestern Buckeye League the Pirates deadlocked with West Milton and Madison for top honors, with a 4-1 record. The Pirates breezed through their first three league games but then stum- bled and fell at the hands of West Milton. The Bulldogs were in turn conquered by Madison who had previously been beaten by the Pirates. In the statistical department, the Pirates poured in 926 points for a 54.5 per game average while holding their opponents to 848 markers for a 49.9 average. Cliff Cornett, the Pirates’ only returning letterman, practically rewrote the record book as he tossed in 297 points in season play for a 21.2 average. His 85 free throws were a new record as was his 29-point splurge against Trotwood-Madison. It is most likely that he would have broken his 342-point mark set last year had not the flu bug and injuries sidelined him for three contests. Besides Cornett, the Pirates first five was usually made up of Dale Gebhart, Don Adkins, Bob Fahrney, and Bob Schuder. All are Seniors except 6-foot 4-inch Bob Schuder upon whose shoulders much of the fate of next year’s squad will rest. His remarkable improvement in the final stages of the season was heartwarming to Pirate fans. Dale Gebhart and Don Adkins operated the guard slots, both doing outstanding jobs the entire year. They collaborated to toss in 341 points and continually harassed their opponents by means of their fine guard play. Bob Fahrney, 5-foot 10-inch senior forward, was second high scorer for the Pirates and was also instrumental in much of the West Carrollton rebounding. His left-hand hooks and hard-driving lay-ups earned him much respect from opposing players. The big gun of the Pirate attack, however, was rangy Cliff Cornett. Although his point-getting accomplishments were amazing, he also proved to be the outstanding rebounder for the Pirates plus being a good ball handler and “feeder.” His name will go down in the annals of West Carrollton basketball history as one of the greatest players ever to perform JUNIOR HIGH When the West Carrollton Junior High School basketball team played its final game of the season against Oakwood Junior High School, the curtain was lowered on one of the most successful seasons yet experienced by the Pirate yearlings. These future stalwarts won eight of the first eleven games that they played. Although these “ball-hawks” were frequently shorter and lighter than their opponents, they more than in a Pirate uniform. Coach Don Bogan also enjoyed the comforts of a strong “bench” (pardon the pun!) this season. Outstanding among these were Ronnie Beckett. Don McClelland, Jerry Davis, Jack Pummill, and Eddie Baker, all of whom will be returning to aid Bob Schuder next year. The Pirate Reserves enjoyed one of their best seasons in years. Possessors of a 13-4 record, the Little Pirates won their last seven in a row and ten of their last eleven. If reserve teams are any kind of a barometer for future squads, then West Carrollton is destined to become a basketball powerhouse in the near future. By Jerry Graham BASKETBALL compensated for these handicaps by an over-abundance of fighting spirit and team play. Coach Howard Carr is high in his praise for all of his boys and the fine quality of morale they maintained throughout the lengthy season. His only regret is the fact that he must promote some of these fine players to the varsity team before another season opens. By Mike Seibert Front row: Bob Smith, Floyd Williams, Ralph Wilson.

BOWLING and The boys’ bowling teams were organized for the first time this year under the sponsorship of the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The two teams, which bowl each Sunday, are under the captaincy of Cliff Cornett and Elmer Marriott. The West Carrollton golf team, which is coached by Mr. Huffman, won five and lost seven matches in the spring season of 1952. The West Carrollton golfers were matched against some very fine teams, many of them from Class A schools. The top point- GOLF TEAMS getters for the team were Frank Lakins with 19V2, Bob Link with 17V2, and Gary Fitz with 14 points. Because of his interest in golf, his years of caddying at the Moraine Country Club, and his academic ability, Frank Lakins was awarded the Chuck Evans College Scholarship, a four-year scholarship which he is using at the University of Illinois.

BASEBALL Coach Eisele’s baseball team had a fine season in the spring of 1952. Their record of five wins and two losses won for the team the Southwestern Buckeye League championship, a title which they shared with Vandalia-Butler. Mr. Eisele worked hard, often by himself, to get Harmon Field in proper condition for the 1953 season. Playing on this field in 1953 were eight returning lettermen: Don Adkins, Cliff Cornett, Dale Gebhart, Jim Chance, Jerry Graham, Russell Harville, Don McClelland, and Carl Mays. Four West Carrollton team members, Don Adkins, Dale Gebhart, Jerry Graham, and Carl Mays, kept in good shape through the summer of 1952 by playing on the Miamisburg American Legion team. New members of the team had had much playing experience through their participation in the Summer Baseball League. By Don Adkins 4 TRACK The 1952 spring season found West Carrollton with a track team which finished in fourth place in the Southwestern Buckeye League. Top point-getters on Coach Bogan’s team were John Ross, Ronnie Brown, and Jim Courtney. Throughout the season high-jumper Dale Gebhart was consistently high in the number of points which he earned for his team. In John Ross, West Carrollton had one of the best quarter-milers in the state. He broke the school record when he ran the 440 in 53.2 seconds. Pole-vaulter George Alexander placed fifth in the state among Class B school contestants. The mile relay team, composed of John Ross, Omar Lowman, Ronnie Brown, and Jack Pummill, broke the West Carrollton School record. Veteran trackmen returning for the 1953 season include Dale Gebhart, Elmer Marriott, Jerry Throckmorton, Jim Chance, John Croy, Bob Elliott, Jack Pummill, and Bill Wood.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL and RIDING From the large number of girls who tried out for the basketball team, fifteen were selected to represent West Carrollton in competition with other schools. This year we played seven games. Although the girls lost more games than they won, they established an enviable reputation of friendliness and good sportsmanship toward other teams. Seventeen girls participated in riding during the fall months, and an almost equal number turned out for the spring program. Elementary instruction and trail riding were given special emphasis.

Moraine City Elementary School MORAINE CITY FACULTY Although the Moraine City teachers are located in a separate building several miles from West Carrollton School, they are still very much a part of the total West Carrollton faculty. Many of them taught in West Carrollton before the Moraine City Building was opened in 1950. The students whom they graduate at the end of the sixth grade come to West Carrollton for their junior and senior high school years. The Moraine City faculty is led by Mr. F. Lloyd Cavender, who at the time he became the principal of the newly-opened Moraine City School had been the principal of the West Carrollton Elementary School for twenty years. This popular and well-respected administrator is a graduate of the University of Dayton, and he has studied at Wittenberg College, Miami University, and Wilmington College. MR. F. L.

TAYLOR GLUTH WEST CARROLLTON ELEMENTARY FACULTY The West Carrollton Elementary School, more than any other division of our school system, has felt the effects of the tremendous growth in school population. Because of the shortage in classroom space, all kindergarten sessions had to be cancelled this year; and three classes have met outside the school, two in churches and one in the Scout House. The teachers have uncomplainingly made the best of these adverse conditions and have provided their students with a happy and profitable year. However, they are eagerly awaiting the completion of the twenty-six-room elementary building which is now under construction. Although this is Mr. Taylor Gluth’s first year as principal of the West Carrollton Elementary School, he has already impressed us with his efficient administration and his quiet yet friendly nan-ner. Mr. Gluth, who came to West Carrollton from the Jackson School in Preble County, holds the A.B. degree from Huntington College and the M.S. Ed. degree from Indiana University, and he has studied at Miami University, the University of Oregon, and the University of California. Principal Seated: Mrs. Dorothy Smith.

GUILER wish to give special thanks to MR. GERALD CRIBLEY, the senior class adviser, for the many hours which he so generously and graciously expended above and beyond the call of duty. Without the subscriptions and advertising, the soliciting of which Mr. Cribley supervised, this yearbook could never have been financed. The staff would also like to thank Mr. Thomas Jennings who, with Mr. Cribley, spent many late afternoons taking a large number of the photographs used in the advertising section of this annual. WHAT'S COOKIN'? Another picture-packed memory book, the 1954 edition of THE PIRATAN. Be sure to order your copy of the yearbook early next fall.
