pi ratan volume forty-six 1957 Cooking forward from the threshold of life, the Seniors of 1957 invite you to re-live with them the memories captured within these pages . . . and to share their excitement and their misgivings as they look forward, with all the promise of youth ... to work Cooking back... upon the brief, sunny days when many things were happening for the first time . . . and, best of all, they were happening to us. Here is an image from those days that will live as long as memory. LOOK OUT! looking happy Dedication Miss Ruth Arnold served as an instructor of commercial subjects in the West Carrollton High School from 1927 until her retirement in 1956. Miss Arnold's length of service to our school system is exceeded only by that of one present faculty member, Principal H. A. Russell. In her quiet way. Miss Arnold was keenly interested in both the academic and the personal development of each of her students. Because of her insistence that each student achieve at the highest level of his ability, a recommendation from Miss Arnold virtually assured employment for a graduate of our commercial department. We, the Class of 1957, are proud to dedicate our Piratan to Miss Arnold. We join the graduates of the twenty-nine classes which preceded ours in commending her for a job well done and in extending to her our best wishes as she joins the ranks of the emeriti.

The picture at the right portrays captain Don Moyer crowning the queen. Miss Bowie's escort is John Clouse. Following the crowning the Class of '57 presented a colorful display of fireworks. 20 Shown in the picture at the right are senior attendants, Lois Kokot and Betty Hamilton, with their escorts, Gary Mays and Benton Kesling as they arrive for the half-time ceremonies. Although defeat dampened the West Carrollton spirit, everyone appeared to have abandoned his unpleasant thoughts and enjoyed dancing to the music of Johnny Reager and his orchestra. Grades 9-12, alumni, and faculty members attended the Homecoming Dance. This was one of the memorable occasions of the year. As the dance drew to a close, the students at West Carrollton had another enjoyable event to add to the memories of their high school days. 21 Seniors Present Is is possible to tell the truth—even for twenty-four hours? It is—at least Bob Bennett, the hero of Nothing But the Truth, accomplished the feat. The bet he made with his partners, his friends, and his fiancee, is the background for the incidents in this farce. The comic scenes in which Bob is placed because of the necessity of his answering embarrassing questions and telling the literal truth increase the hilarity of the play. Oh, if we could only stay like this till four o'clock. 22 It is your intention to give us a donation, is it not?

The action centered around two brothers, Tom and Gary. These two brothers had an uncanny way of being without money until a long forgotten relative willed Tom a large fortune. Gary, the other brother, to his dismay was to receive only Charlie, believed to be the relative's dog. Charlie, however, turned out to be a beautiful girl. Jealousy is a terrible thing. The ultimate end was Gary falling in love with Charlie and Tom having the money. Hu nun From left to right?

Smith, Ronnie Craig, Buddy Lowman, Tom Rapp, Janet Stocksdale In the spring of 1956 the forming of a Student Council began. A committee was chosen which worked throughout the summer writing a constitution. At the beginning of the school year of 1956-57, senators, representatives, and advisors were elected, and the constitution was accepted. The Council plans to move slowly but steadily, helping with school problems. This is the first Student Council in the history of our school. Its job is difficult; its duties, many. We hope that in the near future ours will be a model student council. future Teachers Study Profession The West Carrollton High School F.T.A. was organized in 1956 for the benefit of high school students interested in obtaining information about teaching as a profession. Each member of the F.T.A. was able to acquire a knowledge of teaching by actual classroom experience and information gained from teachers relating their own experiences. Members were also able to gain facts concerning the necessary preparation for the high office of teaching. Our first year was highlighted by an overnight conference at Columbus and our official induction into the Future Teachers of America upon the receipt of our charter. Miss Dean and Mr. Weiler, our F.T.A. sponsors, deserve a whole-hearted vote of appreciation. A study of current affairs proves interesting to F.T.A. members Nancy Ashworth, Chuck Croy, and Jolene Combs.

The club has shown a marked increase of enrollment by 1957 due to the fact that grades 7 through 9 were included; and also under the sponsorship of Miss Booher and Mrs. Hinds they had a very interesting program for the year. The girls completed several projects and were entertained by the Arthur Murray Dancers. The club contributed much toward the social life of the Junior-high girls. The officers for the year of 1956-57 were: Nedra Miller, president; Sandra Hollingsworth, vice president; Elaine Gibbons, secretary; Carole Lewis, treasurer. 34 High Clubs formed [ junior Hi- M In the fall of 1956 the West Carrollton school accepted another branch of the Y.M.C.A. The new group was the Junior Hi-Y. A group of Hi-Y boys feeling a need for such a club in the junior high school set forth in seeking information about such a club. Information was gathered, an advisor was chosen, and within a few weeks the Hi-Y boys saw the club in full swing. The club is now operating on a full-time basis. The main project of the club was selling gadgets at Christmas time. They sold over $50 worth of merchandise. On January 25, the boys had a big social affair. A good time was had by all who attended. During the year Mr. Roberl Miller of the Y.M.C.A. office came and spoke to the boys. Mr. Houck, a student at a nearby Seminary also spoke to them. The meetings were held on Saturday mornings. In future years West Carrollton will note the work of the Junior Hi-Y and the part it played in making better men of the present boys.

The social year was begun with a picnic; and the programs following included speakers, movies, joint meetings with Hi-Y, discussion groups, social events, and service projects. The presentation of the several chapel services throughout the year was a most important service project entered into jointly by the Y-Teens and Hi-Y. These services benefited greatly the moral and spiritual standards of our school. Y-Teen girls served as hostesses for group meetings of the dean of girls and mothers .of seventh and eighth grade girls. Funds for financial obligations were supplied by dues and concession sales at the home football games. The year was highlighted by a hayride for Y-Teens and guests.

Hi- y Club To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character is the purpose of Hi-Y. The West Carrollton Hi-Y Club, under the guidance of Mr. Brown, Mrs. Ingledue, and Mr. Smith, fulfilled this purpose very well. During the year the Hi-Y sponsored several assemblies, Reverend Bob Richards, and two movies. The program for the year included father-son discussions, lectures, and joint meetings with the Junior Hi-Y. A highlight of the social events was a joint meeting and dance with the Y-Teens. Also another social event was the annual hayride that was held at the end of the year. The officers for 1956-57 were: Neil Sizer, president; Henry Weidner, vice president; Ted Hoffman, secretary; Rusty Kokenge, treasurer; Dave Michael, chaplain; and Richard Johnson, parliamentarian.

Allied l outh becomes West Allied Youth was one of the most highly esteemed clubs in West Carrollton during the 1956-57 school year. To gain a high standing a club must have an appealing purpose. Each member was required to memorize and evaluate the meaning of Allied Youth's purpose which is To seek the truth concerning beverage alcohol and the best way of life in relation to this problem. As a social group A.Y. ranked tops. After each business meeting there was a social hour which consisted of dancing, movies, panel discussions, or joint meetings with other schools.

FRESHMEN Universe Club Studies Everyday Science At the beginning of its sixth year, the Universe Club elected officers for the first semester. David R. Smith acquired the position of president. Others elected were Chuck Croy, vice president; Nancy Lachat, secretary; Delman Howe, treasurer; and Susan Rankin, sergeant-at-arms. Prospective members, students of grades 10-12, enjoyed presenting their projects required for admission. Projects included studies of modern detergents, frequency response, and catalysis. The club always emphasized its objective; to develop interest in and demonstrate the principles of various fields of everyday science. Proceeds from program sales at all the home football games and refreshment sales at one football and one basketball game provided adequate funds for financial needs. Immediately after Christmas, the Universe Club alumni and present members enjoyed supper and a square dance at the Miamisburg Gun and Rifle Club. Because of the policy of equal distribution of officers among club members, new officers were elected for the second semester. Those elected were Roy McIntosh, president; Nancy Lachat, vice president; Susan Rankin, secretary; Betsy Werth, treasurer; and David Smith, sergeant-at-arms. Since 1953 each year has been highlighted by the annual trip taken by club members following the close of school in May. They always have been accompanied by Mr. Victor M. Showalter, founder and advisor. In 1957 the destination was Chicago; for the purpose of visiting places of scientific interest, as well as those enjoyed by tourists. Although the charter members graduated in 1956, the club has maintained its high standards and has proven its value as one of the most important clubs at West Carrollton High School.

Club began its third year at West Carrollton High School with a car wash and other successful projects for the purpose of supplying club finances. Government of the club was encouraged as officers Fred Randall, president; Linda Snell, secretary; and Mike West, treasurer, took their elected seats in the club. Social activities were emphasized when the club held a picnic at Germantown Dam in the fall. Many interesting projects, required for admission to the club, were presented by prospective members. Studies of fuses, bats, the Tesla coil, color phototropism, the atmosphere, and jet propulsion were included. The second semester was begun with election of officers Mike West, president; Linda Snell, vice president; Lonnie Thacker, secretary; and Sue Speelman, treasurer, for the remaining portion of the year. A picnic and a trip in the spring were enjoyed by all including the advisors, Mr. Showalter, Mr. Lane, and Mr. Houck. As the year drew to a close, each T.E.M. Club member eagerly anticipated the coming year. The tenth-grade students knew they were eligible for membership in the Universe Club, T.E.M.'s big brother. 45 ‘ ‘Mela Amigos’ ’ Says the Spanish Club Reader: Melanie Hohnhorst.

The club is under the direction of Profesora Wills, known to North Americans as Miss Wills. The club has thirty members, both first- and second-year students. The club had the new experience of seeing a real portal this year. A portal is a Mexican Nativity scene. It was made by the second-year students and helped to make Christmas much more meaningful. The club has seen Spanish movies such as Tluvia Roja, Don Quixote, and Dona Barbara. These movies helped to make Spanish even more enjoyable. Spain is also brought to the club members by the singing of Spanish songs and the reading of Spanish poems. These things have all contributed to an exciting club year. ‘ ‘Salvete, Jimici!

On the day of the initiation the new members wore their Roman tunics and stolas and addressed their dominae and domini in the usual Roman manner. This Roman holiday was followed that night by an impressive induction service. In the spring we made a trip to Columbus for the annual Junior Classical League Conference. We helped finance the trip by holding a bake sale. To end our year in a fashionable manner, we had our Roman banquet during which the second-year students were served lavishly by their personal slaves whom they bought at the slave sale. An authentic Roman dinner was enjoyed by the second-year students, while entertainment was supplied by the slaves. Thus another year was completed for the Latin Club. We all join in giving thanks to our able sponsor and teacher, Mr. Woodhouse. 47 Social Science Club Studies World Affairs In the above picture are the 1956-57 members of the Social Science Club.

In the latter part of October the Social Science Club elected new members. This year club membership was limited to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. New members were required not only to have at least a C+ average when they were elected to the club, but also to maintain that average each semester. The Social Science Club initiated its 1956-57 program of activities by studying customs and problems of India. A selected group attended a conference at the Biltmore Hotel at which Mr. D. K. Hingorani discussed the political and economic views of India. The club held its annual Christmas party before school closed for the holidays. The group went caroling and then returned to the school cafeteria to eat, visit, and dance. A major event of the year was the Sweetheart Dance which is sponsored annually by the club. Music was provided by Jolly Rogers, a disc jockey. During the course of the year the club enjoyed many interesting programs. Group discussions centered around the customs and problems of India, parliamentary procedure, and other topics pertaining to the social sciences. The 1956-57 officers of the club were Diana Reynolds, president; Elah Pettit, program chairman; and Lois Kokot, secretary-treasurer. Under the leadership of these officers and the guidance of the advisors, Mr. Huffman and Mr. Guiler, the Social Science Club enjoyed another successful year. In the various pictures on this page we see the Social Science Club m action.

At that time, members of the West Milton School chapter of F.B.L.A. installed the officers and members of the West Carrollton club. The officers for the 1956-57 year are Barbara Weidner, president; Shirley Mullins, vice president; Henry Weidner, secretary; Lois Kokot, treasurer; and Diana Reynolds, recorder. The 1956-57 year was packed full of business, education, work, and fun. The monthly meetings were not only educational but interesting. The meetings ranged from films or speakers to parties with F.B.L.A. posts from other schools.

Mr. Tracy related actual cases as examples. A special program was planned for the pre-Christmas meeting. The F.B.L.A. post of West Milton was invited to the meeting. A Christmas film, entertainment, dancing, and refreshments were enjoyed by both clubs. The two new club advisors are Mrs. Wentzel and Mr. Sears.

Qirls' A thlctic Association The Girls' Athletic Association was created for girls who are interested in sports. As a token of their participation in these various athletic events such as hockey, basketball, bowling, volleyball and baseball, they are presented with awards at the end of the year. The organization is composed of girls from grades nine through twelve who endeavor to attain these awards. Many of the annual affairs are non-athletic events. The G.A.A. began its activities with a picnic at which new members were initiated. Later in the year the girls began making plans and preparations for the Turn About Tag which provided them with the opportunity to invite the boys and make corsages for them. The Mother and Daughter Banquet was the last annual event of the year. On this festive occasion officers for the coming year were installed, and the girls were presented with their awards.

Absent: Dave Brown. 54 In the fall of 1956, the Piratan staff was faced with a situation entirely different from that of past years. Not only did the sponsorship of the yearbook fall upon a new advisor, class sponsor Mr. Gerald R. Cribley; but also the staff found itself without the close surveillance which Mr. Dickinson T. Guiler had given the four preceding yearbooks. The staff was constantly aware of the fact that the three previous Piratans had been awarded A+ ratings by the National Yearbook Association. In the above picture Piratan staff writers in the left row are Nancy Steele, Nancy Roddy, Bill Pierce, Louise Turpin, Elah Pettit, Joyce Young, and Neil Sizer. Writers in the middle row are Henry Weidner, Dave Brown, Diana Reynolds, Mike Kelley, Ted Hoffman, and Coe Wolfe. Those in the right row are Becky Folan, Fairl Eagle, Nancy Ashworth, and Sharon Borger. Absent: Richard Krust. Despite these disadvantages, the staff went to work with great enthusiasm. The chiefs, typists, and layout men worked after school many nights in order to keep the production of the yearbook on schedule. Much of the credit for the success of the '57 Piratan goes to Mr. Cribley, who willingly devoted many extra hours to help ! ie staff, and to Mr. Guiler, who was frequently called upon fcx advice and assistance. The staff sincerely hopes that the '57 Piratan will continue to uphold the superior standards of previous West Carrollton High School yearbooks. Advertising was solicited by Shirley Mullins, Susan Rankin, Lois Kokot, Ollie Lacey, Dave Brown, Mike Kelley, Judy Pepper, Betty Hamilton, Barbara Weidner, Nancy Ashworth, David R. Smith, and Charles Croy. Consecutive J + Ratings Richard Krust and Nancy Ashworth, seated, typed most of the yearbook copy. They were assisted by Henry Weidner, Diana Reynolds, and Jo Carolyn Brown, standing. The writers of the '57 Piratan were faced with a task far more difficult than the one confronted by other staffs. Writers in years past knew that Mr. Guiler would detect and correct any errors they might make. This year, however, with Mr. Guiler busy as principal of the elementary school, the Piratan writers were mostly on their own. Much of the success of the yearbook was dependent upon the hard work of these writers. Pictures Make School Paper a Success A hard working student staff under the sponsorship of Mr. Doan and the editorship of Zona Boatman pushed the Pirates' Log into an improved position this year. Much of this success can be attributed to good reproduction of pictures made possible through Multilith printing recently provided by the school board. Pictures for the paper were procured through the efforts of staff photographer Larry Koverman. The Pirates' Log staff purchased a complete Speed Graphic outfit in October and, using it in conjunction with the school's dark room facilities, have made real progress in the field of journalistic photography. 56 Left to right: Advisor Mr. Doan, Judy Cummings, Dale Willard, Bill Howard, Ted Hoffman, Nancy Steele, Nancy Christman, Nancy Ashworth, Zona Boatman, Madeleine Campbell, June Crutchfield, Joyce Young, Sharon McPherson, Linda Smith, Opal Covey.

In the first place, the partition separating the library from the study hall has been moved, practically doubling the area of the library. New blonde furniture has been added, contributing both to the beauty of the room and to the facilities for study. Permanent shelving on three sides offers greater convenience and a wider selection of books. More tables are a welcome sight to students who had been unable to use the library, due to limited space. Our library now offers novels, biographies, reference books, current magazines, and college catalogues. We, the students of West Carrollton High School, express our appreciation to those who have made this improvement possible. We also express appreciation to our efficient librarian, Mrs. Stephens. 57 Chorus Mdcii L JUNIOR-SENIOR GLEE CLUB Front row: Mr. Robbins, Louise Goldshot, Willa Morton, Margie Milton, Jeannie Bolinger, Linda Turner, Lorna Troutman, Shirley Potts, Sandra Barsalou, Lena DeBord, Jenny Isaacs, Linda Good.

Robbins, had much excitement during the 1956-57 school year. They had the pleasure of singing at the Y-Teens Recognition Service at N.C.R. Auditorium in Dayton. They also participated in a special Christmas program, sang at several P.T.A. meetings, and early in the spring joined with the band and orchestra to present the Spring Festival. The annual P.T.A. Christmas program deserves special mention. After helping her daughter plan an old-fashioned skating party, a mother sat dreaming of the fun of days gone by. The members of the Glee Club and Mixed Chorus recreated this dream. As they skated on the pond, they sang many old carols and new Christmas songs. The ensemble added to the fun by climbing into a one-horse open sleigh and rendering a special arrangement of Jingle Bells. To close the program, everyone joined in singing O Come, All Ye Faithful. Senior members of the Glee Club furnished music for commencement. Underclassmen, honoring the seniors, provided music for the baccalaureate service. At the beginning of the 1956 school year, a new group was added to our music department. It is a chorus composed primarily of freshman girls and boys. This is the first time in a number of years that the boys of West Carrollton have participated in vocal music.

Haggerty, presented for public enjoyment one concert during the 1956-57 season. As usual, this concert was a part of the annual Spring Festival which is a cooperative undertaking of the vocal and instrumental music organizations. The orchestra does not start practicing as a group until the marching band season is concluded, and then it practices only two times a week. Therefore, the number of concerts which the orchestra could present is limited. When the opportunity for a concert finally presented itself, however, Mr. Haggerty introduced to the public a very promising orchestra. Because of its fine showing, it is hoped that the orchestra will play a more prominent part during the coming school year. 60 ‘Junior Hand Prepares Way for Potential Musicians The West Carrollton Junior Band, through the efforts of its instructor, Mr. Harry C. Haggerty, is more than ever preparing the way for potential musicians. . These future musicians, most of whom take private lessons in addition to their bi-weekly class instruction, will soon form the nucleus of the senior band. Though the junior band gains little recognition from the students, the future success of the senior band is dependent upon these young musicians. In helping to prepare the junior band members for their future role, Mr. Haggerty has directed them through four separate performances. These included two assemblies, one at West Carrollton and one at Moraine City. In addition the junior band played for the West Carrollton P.T.A. and the 1957 Spring Music Festival.

In spite of the fact that twenty senior band members were graduated in 1956, the West Carrollton High School Band, under the leadership of Mr. Harry C. Haggerty, continued to be most successful. When the band opened its 1956 marching season at the Montgomery County Fair, it received high praise for its performance. The band then continued to keep up its good reputation by putting on a series of marching shows between halves of the football games. In October the band journeyed to Piqua for a parade and brought home honors as the second best participating band. During the basketball season, the band entertained the audiences at half time. In December the band presented an exceptionally fine dinner-dance which was helped financially by the Band Boosters. Music was provided by Harry Kaye. On February 4, the band gave its first concert at the National Cash Register auditorium. The band spent the remainder of the year practicing for its annual Spring Festival and another performance at the 1957 Miami Valley Band Festival. They also performed at the Moraine City Elementary School and at the West Carrollton High School.

WOODWIND 63 Highlights of the 1956 Twelve bands combine for the 1956 Miami Valley Band Festival The annual Spring Festival, a combined concert of the complete West Carrollton Music Department, was given in April. The large audience termed the concert the best West Carrollton has ever presented. In May, the West Carrollton band played host to the Miami Valley Band Festival in which twelve bands and 767 bandsmen participated. Each band presented one marching show. As a spectacular conclusion, the twelve bands joined forces to present a medley of concert pieces. To prepare the way for a successful marching season in 1956, the band spent a week at Camp Louella May. There the band members not only improved themselves in the phases of marching, but they also enjoyed making use of the camp recreation facilities. Many of the band members credit band camp with making the marching season as successful as it was.

Due to the crowded conditions of our school, the girls found it necessary to establish a more organized cheering section. They presented the idea of a peP club to the student body and found it enthusiastically received. Then the cheerleaders went to work planning programs consisting of new cheers, group participation, and rules for sportsmanlike behavior. Concluding their fitst year of varsity cheerleading are Carolyn Pence and Donna Bowie, and third year cheerleading are Lois Kokot, Nancy Steele, and Diana Reynolds. 68 Pep Club enhances School Cheering First row: Katherine McConnell, Mary Lynn, JoAnn Stemley, Nancy Bowie, Judy Beckett, Joy Treon, Joyce Austin, Connie Baker, Sharon Blackburn.

Ranking high in the West Carrollton extracurricular activities is sports. The cheerleaders felt that due to the increased number of students and the popularity of sports, a greater audience participation should be emphasized. After conferring with Mrs. Combs, cheerleading advisor, a suggestion was made to organize a Pep Club with its purpose being to promote a better, more sportsmanlike cheering section. During the remainder of the '56 school term the idea was presented to the student body and was received with much enthusiasm. To prepare for the coming grid season, meetings were held on Tuesdays during the summer months. During these sessions new cheers were created and rules about good sportsmanship were explained to the group. For a project the girls were divided into groups, each group making posters advertising the various football games scheduled for the '56 season. These posters were displayed in the corridors. Students in grades 7-12 are eligible for membership in the Pep Club. To maintain membership in the club a member cannot miss more than three meetings, and one must be willing to attend almost all of the home football and basketball games scheduled. Seats in back of the band were reserved for Pep Club members as a token for their participation and co-operation. 69 I Front row: Wayne Mays, Charles Zurbuchen, Mike Swank, Ned Pauley, Bob Shell, Larry Jones, Jim Sherritt, Charles Yordy, Frank Markunes.

Pirates Depressed by Ja juries The 1956 football squad, depressed by several injuries, finished the grid season in fine style. The Pirates won their last three games of the season. In these last three games the Pirates used a bruising singlewing attack that overpowered their opponents. In the earlier part of the season the Red and Black used the T-formation ; but with vital personnel out with injuries, the formation failed to work as it should. The single-wing was then installed into the Pirates' offense, which then worked very well. The squad, coached by Mr. Graban, head coach, and Mr. Bogan, assistant coach, was the smallest squad in the history of their coaching at West Carrollton. The squad consisted of 34 boys. 70 71 CHARLES BOND Guard Toward the end of the season the Pirates were looking better game after game. The Red and Black finished the grid season with a 4-4-1 record. The squad consisted of fifteen seniors, nine juniors, and ten sophomores. With nearly half the squad seniors, Mr. Graban will be expecting the junior and sophomore boys to pick-up where the 1956 squad left off. The fifteen seniors on the 1956 squad were: Charles Bond, Dave Chance, Jim Downs, Don Haddix, Rusty Kokenge, John Markunes, Gary Mays, Don Moyer, Randy Parks, Bill Pierce, Benny Preston, Neil Sizer, Henry Weid-ner, Sam Weller, and Buck Wickline. Outstanding performances will be expected of these juniors: Vincent Brodbeck, Bruce Copsey, Dick Fahrney, Dave Michael, Dave Harris, Leonard Kuhn, Bob Smith, Lando Steele, and Floyd Williams.

Third row: Phillip Wolford, Steve Kokot, Ronnie Wheeler, David Mays, Monty Estep, Bill Duncan, Phillip Howard, Eugene Gray, Charles Carter. For the first time the junior high football team was split into two separate teams. One team consisted only of freshmen and the second of seventh and eighth grades. The freshman squad, coached by Mr. Ingledue, had five scheduled games and a game with the West Carrollton seventh and eighth grade team. In their scheduled games the freshmen won 1, lost 3, and tied 1. Although the squad was small and inexperienced, their enthusiasm and determination kept them in the game until the final whistle. In the game with the seventh and eighth grades the freshmen out-scored them 20-6. The team thanks Mr. Ingledue for his fine coaching and for the interest he created in the game of football. These are the scores of the freshman season: West Carrollton 0 Oakwood 26 West Carrollton. 7 Madison 6 West Carrollton 0 Beavercreek 0 West Carrollton 7 Franklin .13 West Carrollton 7 Miamisburg 13 76 Zuv football The West Carrollton seventh and eighth grade team, although small, proved to be speedy and very clever with the football. Mr. Franz, the coach, stressed the importance of every block and hard running of the backs. Like the freshmen, the seventh and eighth grade team used the same formations and plays as the varsity. This, of course, develops the boys more quickly for varsity play. The seventh and eighth grade squad ended the season with the fine record of 3-2-1. Many of the boys will be playing on the freshman team in 1957, but the seventh graders will be back to compose the heart of the younger team.

Although the Pirates failed to win any of the seven meets, Shields placed first in five of the meets. The squad, coached by Mr. Houck, consisted of seven sophomores, one junior, and one senior. With so many young promising boys, Coach Houck is expecting a better team showing in the 1957 season. In the district meet Shields placed third to qualify for the state meet. In the state meet Kenny placed 58th out of 170 staters. Because of Mr. Houck's interest and personal experiences with Cross Country, it is becoming a more popular sport in West Carrollton every year.

The 1956 girls' volleyball team had only one scheduled game with Centerville. Both West Carrollton's varsity and reserve teams beat the Centerville team, the varsity winning 33 to 31, and the reserve winning 36 to 29. Mrs. Mary Combs, physical education teacher of West Carrollton, and the physical education teacher of Centerville were coaches and officials for both games. 79 jHockey Zcarn Wins Tw. The year of '56 proved to be a rather unusual one for the girls' hockey teams at West Carrollton. Due to the resignation of Mrs. Mary Combs, girls' physical education teacher and athletic director, Mrs. Werner, formerly a substitute teacher, was added to the faculty. Hockey season quickly rolled around and Mrs. Werner felt that her schedule would not permit her to sponsor any extracurricular activities. This, of course, meant no hockey teams. The idea of no sports was not readily accepted, and some enthusiastic sports-minded girls were determined to solve the problem. After consulting with Mr. Russell and Mr. Schnell, they set out to find a faculty member who would be willing to spend a few nights a week acting as a sponsor for their practice sessions and games. After much inquiry, the girls found not one but two faculty members from the elementary school who agreed to serve as advisors for the hockey teams. Without the co-operation of Miss Northcutt and Miss Young, the hockey teams would not have enjoyed such a successful year. Their guidance and assistance was deeply appreciated. 80 Although many of the girls were inexperienced and lacked the training of an authority on hockey, their determination and willingness to learn made the season a memorable one. Final statistics proved that the girls played with enthusiasm, as they won five games out of ten. The scores for the '56 season were: VARSITY RESERVE West Carrollton 0 Oakwood 6 West Carrollton 0 Oakwood 2 West Carrollton 2 Fairview 0 West Carrollton 2 Fairview 0 West Carrollton 0 Oakwood 2 West Carrollton 1 Oakwood ... 0 West Carrollton. . 2 Fairmont 3 West Carrollton 1 Fairmont . 2 West Carrollton 4 Centerville 1 West Carrollton 3 Centerville 1 In the picture at the left we have the members of the 1956-57 girls' hockey teams.

The West Carrollton varsity basketball squad placed fourth in the Southwestern Buckeye League by winning four of its seven league encounters. In league play the Pirates downed Butler, Madison, Oakwood, and Eaton; but fell to Randolph, West Milton, and Tipp City. Due to the lack of height and experience the Pirates started the season rather poorly by losing their first five non-league games to Germantown, Jefferson, Northridge, Miamisburg, and Kiser. Although the games were lost, the scores were very close and the future looked hopeful. The squad, coached by Mr. Don Bogan, concentrated on the fast break and a scrappy flatiron zone defense for which the Pirates are well noted. The Pirates employed a figure-eight offense, but later in the season they also used a double-pivot offense as well. During the entire season the Pirate squad scored a total of 702 points to their opponents' 768. These totals verified the closeness of the Pirates encounters. Determination and the desire to win kept the Pirates in the game until the final whistle. fourth in Ccague The high scorer for the Red and Black was sophomore Wayne Mays with 145 points, followed closely by Jim Downs with 141 points, Jim Richardson 1 17, Neil Sizer 98, Bill Pierce 68, Pat Hollan 43, and Henry Weidner 37. The seniors on the squad were Jim Downs, Benny Preston, Bill Pierce, Neil Sizer, .Henry Weidner, and Sam Weller.

The Little Red and Black had a well-balanced squad characterized by speed and height. The squad used a tight man-to-man defense and a double-pivot offense with men cutting down the center. Jim Sherritt was high scorer for the season with 88 points.

The schedule consisted of games with Chaminade, Fairview, Van Buren, Miamisburg, and other much larger schools. The freshman cagers used a double-pivot offense with a man-to-man defense. The squad scored a total of 301 points, slightly under their opponents' 358 points. These are the scores of the freshman encounters: West Carrollton 31 West Milton 20 West Carrollton 37 Eaton 22 West Carrollton 21 Chaminade 38 West Carrollton 25 Miamisburg 31 West Carrollton 28 Eaton • 30 West Carrollton 29 West Milton 28 West Carrollton 14 Miamisburg 40 West Carrollton 39 Oak wood 42 West Carrollton 28 Fairview 35 West Carrollton 25 Van Buren 28 West Carrollton 24 Fairview 44 Mr. Bentley is to be congratulated on his fine job of coaching this freshman squad.

Kneeling: Mr. James Ingledue. The seventh and eighth grade team consisted of 13 boys. Although these boys won only one game, credit is still due, since the team played hard and did its best. The 1956-57 season was the first year the seventh and eighth grade team had a separate schedule. In past years the seventh and eighth graders also played on the freshman squad. Mr. Ingledue, the coach, concentrated on fundamentals and the importance of team play.

The practices, which were held twice weekly after school, encouraged and improved the maneuvering and shooting abilities of the girls on the teams. During the season five games were scheduled. The opposing teams were Miamisburg, Oakwood, Centerville, Northridge, and the West Carrollton school faculty. The Pirateens won no games, but the girls did develop greater skill and playing ability as the season progressed. The enjoyment of playing and good sportsmanship also were boosted to a new height.

However, due to insufficient facilities, only thirty girls participated. Each Tuesday afternoon—January through March—six teams, each composed of five girls, traveled by bus to Fortener's Bowling Alley in Miamisburg. There the girls developed skill and good sportsmanship. At the end of the season, certificates were awarded for perfect attendance. Mr. Fortener awarded trophies to each member of the champion team, which was determined by a roll-off between the two top teams. Miss Mary Ann Miller, vocal music instructor in the elementary schools, served as advisor to the girls' bowling teams. Lois Kokot wonders what to do next. Haiti.

The spring of '56 proved to be a rather disappointing season for the girls' softball team. Since the softball season comes so close to the end of the school year, only two games were scheduled by Mrs. Combs. Due to rain, both games were cancelled and could not be re-scheduled. Coach Mary Combs worked hard getting her squad in good shape. When she was informed that there was no possible time to make up the rained-out games, she and the squad were very much disappointed.

The baseball team, coached by Mr. Eisele, had another good season in 1956. It won seven of its eleven games. Mr. Eisele, who is noted for his development of younger boys, again in the 1956 season had several freshmen and sophomores in the line-up doing a fine job. These younger boys in many cases came through with expert fielding and hitting to prove their ability. In league play the Pirates' baseball team won four and lost three of its games. At times the Pirates played outstanding baseball, but at other times they had trouble getting organized. During the season the team progressed rapidly, as tournament play revealed. In the Dayton District Class A Tournament the Pirates played the brand of baseball Coach Eisele knew they were capable of playing. The Pirates won the first two games of the tournament but lost to Middle-town in the quarter finals.

WAYNE MAYS GARY BARNES 95 Trackmen Break Three School Records JACK STOTTS GARY GAULDIN The track team, coached by Mr. Don Bogan, had a heavy schedule in the spring of 1956. The team participated in four dual meets, four invitational meets, the Dayton District Meet, and the Southwestern Buckeye League Meet. DON CASKEY DAVE RIX Having only a few seniors on the squad, the team was handicapped by lack of experience. Mr. Bogan's reputation as a fine track coach was upheld when three school records were broken this year. Bill Howard broke the broad-jump record by leaping 20 ft. 1 4 inch. David Rix then broke the shot-put record by tossing the shot 46 ft. 8 3 4 inches. A new record in the 120-yard low hurdles was set by Bill Pierce with the time of 14.2 seconds. Each of these boys will be returning to the 1957 track squad.

The only scoring by the Pirates in the Trotwood Relays was a fifth place in the 400-yard shuttle. At the Mariemont Meet in Cincinnati the team brought home a total of eight points. In the North College Hill' Invitational Meet the trackmen scored a total of 10 1 2 points. As usual the Southwestern Buckeye League Meet was a great success. Although the Pirates did not make as fine a showing as they have in past years, the trackmen showed great competitive spirit and placed fifth in the eight-team meet. The 1957 season will be high lighted by these returning lettermen: Gary Mays, Don Moyer, Bill Pierce, Kenny Shields, Bob Alexander, Bill Howard, Leonard Kuhn, and Dave Rix. The Pirate spectators will always remember the fine showings of the three senior lettermen: Donald Caskey, Gary Gauldin, and Jack Stotts. Kneeling: Vincent Brodbeck, Coach Bogan, Larry Jones.

The little Red and Black trackmen succeeded in rolling up 134 points to 66 points of their opponents, Butler and Eaton. The squad, coached by Mr. Graban, competed in the same events as the varsity, with the exception of the high hurdles and the mile run. This year the junior high meets were run along with the varsity meets. This plan seemed to work very well. Top point-getters for the Little Pirates were Wayne Mays, Ronnie Craig, and Charles Zurbuchen. These boys will probably see considerable action with the 1 957 varsity track squad.

The Red and Black's big gun in 1956 was JOE SNELL JERRY CLICK three-year letterman Ted Hoffman. Hoffman also captured the handicap trophy with a score of 184.

AT ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY SUPERINTENDENT SCHNELL Mr. Harold E. Schnell, formerly an elementary principal in the West Carrollton system, has completed his second year as superintendent. Already he is greatly admired by the students and faculty. Mr. Schnell has had to deal with the very perplexing problem of a greatly enlarged school population. Mr. Schnell has been a valuable asset to our school system in planning a road to a better educational program for teachers and students at West Carrollton. Mr. Schnell studied at Wilmington College, the University of Cincinnati, and Miami University. He received the B.S. degree from Ohio State University, and his M.S. degree from Indiana University. 104 BOARD OF EDUCATION All the plans have been laid, the architects have completed their specifications, and construction has been started on the newest of the West Carrollton schools. The members of the Board of Education are shown here inspecting the Frank W. Nicholas School being built at Miami Shores. Pictured from left to right above are: Mr. Robert L. Christman, Mr. A. Emerson Fahrney, Mr. John L. Clouse, president; Mr. Harold E. Schnell, superintendent; Mr. Basil R. Brown, vice president; Mrs. June Burns; and Mr. Forest E. Treon, clerk-treasurer. 105 MR. HARRY A. RUSSELL High School Principal MR. A. CLAIR EISELE Assistant Principal MISS MARTHA DEAN Dean of Girls Well known among the high school students is our highly esteemed principal, Mr. Harry A. Russell. During his thirty-four years of administration Mr. Russell has been noted for his amiable personality. He became a faculty member in 1923. Mr. Russell earned the A.B. degree from Richmond University and the A.M. degree from Ohio State University. He also studied at the University of Dayton and Wittenberg College. Due to the increased number of students it became necessary to have an assistant principal. In 1954 Mr. A. Clair Eisele was appointed to this position. Mr. Eisele is responsible for the discipline and attendance of boys in grades 7-9. He also aids Mr. Russell in the administration of the junior high school. Mr. Eisele coaches the varsity baseball squad and is a teacher of physical education and health. Mr. Eisele received his B.S.Ed. degree from Wittenberg College and has studied at Miami University. The girls at West Carrollton will always remember the guidance and assistance they received from Miss Martha Dean, Dean of Girls. She is a favorite among them because of her quiet and gentle manner. In 1938 Miss Dean came to West Carrollton as a teacher of English and languages. She succeeded Miss Marsh as dean of girls in 1947. For the past two years, Miss Dean has devoted all her time to counseling and to administrative duties. She was compelled to give up her classes due to the increase in the school population. Miss Dean, in addition to her duties as dean of girls, serves as sponsor of Y-Teens, Deans Council, and co-sponsor of Allied Youth and F.T.A. Miss Dean received her A.B. degree from Cederville College and studied further at Ohio State University, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wittenberg College, and the University of Dayton. 106 MR. FOREST E.

CLASS FLOWER Red Carnation CLASS COLOR Red and White 120 Senior Memories As the time for our exit from school draws near, we, the Class of '57, look back over the years and marvel at the swiftness with which they have gone by. Through these twelve years, we have shared together many experiences, both good and bad; and as a product of these experiences we have many fond memories which will linger with us always. None among us can forget our first experiences and struggles in grade school days, for it was through these little experiences that we started the long process of growing up. We climaxed our grade-school days by solemnly receiving our diplomas at our sixth-grade commencement. With the arrival of our junior high school days, we formed a limited acquaintance with extracurricular activities and soon developed a taste for dances and parties. In our freshman year, we were ushered into high school with a somewhat wild initiation. Our freshman and sophomore years served as a fine introduction to the many tasks and responsibilities which lay ahead of us in the last two years of our high school education. Although we felt confidence in our ability to handle any situation which would arise during our junior year, we were amazed at the rapid succession of important tasks and responsibilities which confronted us. We participated in Junior Career Day; selected class rings; presented our class play, Time Out For Ginger; and planned the Junior-Senior Reception. These activities and many others created for us many fond memories of our junior year. Realizing that our high-school days would soon become past history, we found new enthusiasm in our senior year and vigorously entered into every available activity. We held our Senior Prom at the Miami Hotel with Johnny Reger's Orchestra providing the music. Miss Woodman directed our class play for the second time, as we presented Nothing but the Truth. We ordered name cards and invitations in preparation for our graduation day which was rapidly closing in on us. In the spring we attended our last social function as high-school students, our Junior-Senior Reception. The Class of 1957 had the distinction of being the first graduating class of the West Carrollton High School to hold its commencement at the National Cash Register Auditorium. As we make our final exit, we, the Class of '57, hope that future classes will find their days in West Carrollton High as thoroughly enjoyable as we have. To everyone who has helped us create fond memories of our school days, we give our earnest thanks. 121 NANCY JANE ASHWORTH Bethel High School 1, 2; Volleyball 3; Pirates' Log 4; Piratan 4; FTA 3, 4, treasurer 4; Y-Teens 3, 4, Secretary 4; Social Science Club 4; Scholarship Team 3; Class Play 4; National Honor Society.

High Ranking Seniors Honored Seated, left to right: Fairl Eagle, Jim Downs, Nancy Ashworth, Roy McIntosh, Elah Pettit, Benny Preston, Betty Hamilton. Standing: Rusty Kokenge, Theresa Moses, Richard Krust, Pat Stuck, Chuck Croy, Melanie Hohnhorst, Henry Weidner. Perhaps the greatest honor which a senior can receive is election to the National Honor Society. To be selected for membership in the society, one must not only stand in the top one-third of his class, but also have qualified himself as a leader, rendered exceptional service to the school, and shown himself to be of high character. Only fifteen percent of a graduating class may be elected to this organization. The fourteen students pictured above were judged by their teachers and their classmates as the members of the Class of '57 who most deserved membership in the National Honor Society. 135 UNDERCLASSMEN Ijuniors Seated: Judy Smith, 11-3 vice president; Carolyn Clifford, 11-1 secretary; Betsy Zechar, 11-3 secretary; David Michael, 11-2 president; Judy Pepper, 11-2 treasurer; Richard Fahrney, 11-1 vice president; Leonard Kuhn, 11-2 vice president. Standing: Sylvia Dean, 11-1 treasurer; Nancy Lachat, 11-2 secretary; Mr. Huffman, 11-3 advisor; Miss Marsh, 11-2 advisor; Mr. Johnson, 11-1 advisor; Louise Turpin, 11-3 treasurer. The Class of '58, under the advisorship of Mr. Johnson, Miss Marsh, and Mr. Huffman, had an enjoyable and successful year. They participated in numerous clubs and activities, and many members of the class played in key positions on the various athletic squads. There was much excitement when the Class of '58 participated in Junior Career Day in Dayton. They observed various occupations and gieaned many valuable ideas, some of which may prove to be deciding factors in their future lives. That long-awaited day in October finally came, the day that juniors chose their class rings. This event was not quite so exciting, however, as the day in December when the rings arrived. In November the juniors presented their class play, a three-act farce, entitled Mistakes at the Blakes. Under the capable direction of Miss Rebecca Marsh, the play proved to be a big success. Socially the juniors were on their toes when the Junior-Senior Reception rolled around. It was a very gay occasion, and those attending had a wonderful time. The juniors now had another event to add to their list of fine memories. It was one of the greatest social events of the year. Time continued to fly, and the Class of '58 realized that the year was drawing quickly to a close. Eagerly they looked forward to their senior year and their final step of high school . . . graduation. With this thought in mind they completed their junior year by participating whole-heartedly in the various scholastic and social events offered by the school. 138 Class of '58 First row: Robert Alexander, Keith Anderson, Jerry Armstrong, Geraldine Audia, Roy Audia, Tom Aydellotte.

This group of 162 students was under the advisorship of Miss Powell, Mr. Sears, Miss Woodman, and Mr. Wood-house. The class of '59 eagerly looked forward to attaining success in their scholastic studies and extracurricular activities. As sophomores they found invitations of membership to various clubs and organizations extended to them. Not only did the sophomores join; they assumed active roles in their club activities and participated to their fullest extent. In many circumstances they proved to be valuable assets to organizations such as Y-Teens, Hi-Y, Universe Club, and F.B.L.A. Many of the sophomores availed themselves of their opportunities sportswise and became promising athletic material for the future. The sophomore class looked back upon this eventful year as a foundation for the remainder of their high school days.

We entered into the social life of the school by joining the various organizations whose memberships were open to us: Allied Youth, G.A.A., T.E.M., Latin Club, Pirates' Log staff, Band, Orchestra, and Chorus. Also we were then permitted to attend the school dances. During the Christmas season the freshmen held a Christmas party in the Scout House. The boys of our class participated in football, basketball, track, and baseball and are looking forward to more sports events in the future. However, the girls weren't left out altogether. The freshman cheerleaders did a fine job supporting our boys. Many other girls participated in various sports activities. We paid our class dues and sold refreshments at a basketball game to supplement our class treasury. Our sponsors, Mrs. Ackerman, Mr. Disney, Mr. Doan, Mr. Hall, and Mr. Showalter, guided us through a year of fun combined with hard work. We, the class of 1960, looked forward to our role as sophomores next year, and we would like to will the good luck of our freshman year to the freshmen of next year. 150 Class of 60 First row: Bill Arnold, William Ashworth, Joyce Austin, Jim Aydelotte, Connie Baker.

Mr. Thomas R. Whissen, who was to have been the advisor of the PIRATAN this year, planned the first fifteen pages of the annual before he resigned. Mr. Guiler has spent much time checking the final copy of all pages before they were submitted to the publisher. His past experience with the PIRATAN has made his many suggestions invaluable. To Larry Koverman, the PIRATES' LOG staff photographer, goes our appreciation for his advertising photographs; and to Benton Kesling we are indebted for his excellent arrangement of the activity photograph schedules. Sam Weller proved himself champion subscription salesman in the senior class. Nancy Ashworth and Richard Krust spent many hours after school typing the greater part of the copy. Finally, Fairl Eagle has written several of her own. The very cooperative employees of Osborne Studios have been available for our use at all times. Their excellent photography has added much to the attractiveness of our yearbook. Mr. M. B. McCormick, the Taylor Yearbook representative, has aided us in the arrangement of our yearbook and has been very cooperative with us in all our work. fXe In v IAHOC MAM fAnot PUMltHTW COM AV.
