There will be, however, a machine shop activity, though what it will consist ol' is not yet clear. 'Old' New Bell Rings Over Reserve Campus Alter 91 Years oi Faithlul Service The Old Bell Struck Its last Hour h When Reservites returned today, they heard a clear but unfamiliar bell strike the hours. It is a bell new to Hudson, though in reality it is much older than its prede- cessor. The bell has had a very interesting past. It began its history in the little town of Walsheren in south Holland. The year was l 1 i Rctires after almost ct century of service 1611, 23 years after the Spanish hastily left the Netherlands. It was at this time that the Dutch decreed religious freedom for all. One of the favorite expressions of the Pilgrims who fied to Holland, "Soli Deo Gloria," is engraved about the upper part of the bell. Here also one reads the inscription, "John Bugerhuys made me, 1611." Beneath the above inscription are the words, "Die mynen nam wilt weten-Wester Souburgh binick gehetenf' "You who would know my name-Wester Souburgh I am calledf, Wester Souburgh weighs just 500 pounds, stands 25 inches high and has a diameter of 25 inches at the base.

Freshmen Gulick and Maples come from England, and Blakley, a junior, has lived in the Far East. Mich- aelides, a first-year boy, has lived in Greece.

Page 2' RESERVE o R E C O R D A September 14, 1944 As We Begin . . . ' LTHOUGH the Handbook lists September 15 as the first day of the school year, in reality this is not strictly true. Much work has been done prior to the arrival of the students on the campus. Students who have set aside a week of their vacation period for foot- ball conditioning, those who have formed plans for the welcoming of new students and those who have prepared this, the first of our weekly Records, have made substan- tial contributions to the days that lie ahead. This, then, is a day upon which the remaining' students commence the work and play which together constitute our aca- demic year. Each one of you will be told more than once that these opening weeks are the most important of the whole year. It is for that reason that there has been a great deal of work expended to help the old and new boys get off to a good start. Those who are not new this year realize by this time the steps which must be taken to make this year both academically and athletically suc- cessful. It is important to the school and to each class that every returning andl every entering boy should measure up to the standards desired and required of him. The primary goal of the new boys may be briefly and basically stated in the following. Each must find his place in relation to his companionsg each must seek to make his best contribution in athleticsg each must re- solve to do his utmost in the field of studies. This ad- justment will determine for him the success or failure of the year. Let us mention here but one of Reserve's many tra- ditions. There has always been at the academy a most enthusiastic support of varsity teams. Without this, our record in sports will not be a good one, regardless, of the promise which the year may hold. A great deal was attempted during the 1943 seasons, but little was accom- plished along this line. This was due, not as many think, to the teams or the cheer leaders or to the poor rallies but to a lack of enthusiasm from the average Reservite. Keep in mind that a good athletic year is a good school year, and the greater part of our problems can and will be overcome. Strong line Turns Out as Football Season Opens Prospects for a successful football sea- son seem bright in the opinion of the coaches. Since the backfield lacks the weight and experience of former years, the team may be somewhat weak on offense. Roush, a former letterman of last year, along with Timmis, Arnold and Joslyn, have had previous experience behind the line. Nicholson is another survivor of the '43 season. If it is true that the offense doesn't look too bright, it may be said that the line looks particularly brilliant. We have lettermen in Brett, Dennett, Hottenstein, J. Howard, McDonnell, Brewer, as well as men of ex- perience in Gardner, Beal, Tucker, Martyn, Atkinson, Anderson, Hutchinson, Cameron, Silver, N. Howard, Perry Tanner, Kramer and Vaught. It is, however, hard to decide as yet for the crop of new boys is bound to yield someone, perhaps many, of ability. Signs point to a successful, perhaps a brilliant, season. Not much can be said as yet concerning the '44 soccer season because coaches Roundy and Mickel have not seen their material. There are, however, quite a num- ber of boys returning from last year's squad. Linemen John Siddall and Byron Spooner are lettermen, though the latter may not see action for some time due to a broken ankle. Peter Fletcher missed a let- ter by a narrow margin last year. Rollie Cockley returns to the backtield and while Collins has no letter to his credit, he has had considerable experience as a goal tender. There are also experienced material in Pierce, Friedman, Phillips, 'Carter and Scott. All in all, nine returning members is not abad start and with the addition of new prospects we should have a good season. THE RESERVE RECORD WESTERN RESERVE ACADEMY Hudson, Ohio Joel B. Hayden, D.

It was acquired in 1900 by the late James W. Ellsworth who had it installed in Evamere Hall in Hudson where it has remained until the present. Upon his death it was left to the academy. A ceremony was held at the chapel when the old bell had struck twelve on July 22. It was then removed from the tower where it had hung since 1853. It has tolled the hours since except for the period between 1903 and 1916 when the school was closed. The bell has been an intimate part of Hudson's history. It has called Reservites to four wars and has rung their welcome home. It has summoned to the gaiety of weddings and to the sorrow of death. The brief ceremony in July was conducted by Dean Wood and Sexton Harley Kuhn who has rung the bell since the last war. The crack that has been developing for some years had made a replacement neces- sary.
