WHEELING FOOTBALL CContinued from page 1071 old Wheeling High battled the Huntington team to a standstill, 7-7, on a field that was literally floating. The strenuousness of the schedule asserted itself when Parkersburg jour- neyed to Ohio County and we trailed I3-O. The real disaster of the year, or in fact, many years. came on Thanksgiving Day, with everybody keyed up for the Bellaire fray. When the smoke of battle cleared away it was found that the Wheeling gridders received the worst setback in recent times. Captain Larue proved to be a leader in spirit as well as in name and in scoring. He registered four touchdowns and tallied two scorings after touch- downs. Six pointers were also made'by Bachman. Ratcliffe, A. Sauvageot, and Emblem. A great honor also came to our school in having Larue selected as Quarter- back and Captain of the All-State team. To him. too, goes the singular honor of being for two consecutive years, Captain of Wheeling High's football team. having received the unanimous vote of his teammates at a banquetnheld in December when our football squad was feted. We entertain bright hopes for next year, as only three members of the squad of this year graduate. 173 JUST SPRING I love the emerald pastures, And I love the budding treesg I love the Hitting bluebirds, And I love the springtime breezeg Corn lirnents I love the brilliant crocus, p And I love the balmy air, of But, Oh!

A WISE BOY Why have I never married? repeated Matty, the bachelor, as an ac- quaintance asked him the question. Well, years ago, in a crowd, I accidentally trod on a young lady's gown. She turned furiously, beginning, 'Oh, you clumsy brute.' Then she smiled very sweetly and said, 'Oh, I beg your par- don, I thought you were my husbandl' So when I came to think it over, I decided that I'd let marriage alone! Wife- A little bird told me you're going to get me a fur coat. Husband-A'Musta been cuckoo. Customer-Wonder why I have to pay so much? You don't have to cut off so much hair from my head. Barber-I charge for having to search for it in your case. What's the matter with the prisoner, why doesn't he answer? He's deaf, your honor. Dismissed I can't convict a man without a hearing.

It handles the washing of the entire family as well as the household linen, It washes and wrings together or separately: Quickly, Thoroughly and Without Injury.

We believe we lost this to Martins Ferry mainly through this late start, which was due to the extended basketball season. A great improvement was manifested in our next clash, when we downed our old rivals, Bellaire, 614. We have plenty of confidence in our nine, as there is a wealth of old material, and the outlook for the season of twenty-five is extremely bright. 1 ' SCHEDULE April 9, Martins Ferry Ctherej 0 Wheeling . . . . 8 17, Bellaire Ctherej . . . 6 Wheeling 4 21, Linsly Chomej . . . 8 Wheeling 28 Union fhomej . . . 12 Wheeling May 1, Moundsville ftherej . 9 Wheeling 5, Bridgeport Chomej . 2 Wheeling 8, Troadelphia Chomej . 10 Wheeling 12, Warwood Ctherej . . 9 Wheeling 15, Shadyside Chomej . . 17 Wheeling 19, Central Ctherej . . . 1 Wheeling 22, Cameron fherej . . . 3 Wheeling Tenn1s GUR spring activities broke out in a new form this year when a tennis schedule was arranged.

We hold double victories over Bellaire, Linsly, Moundsville, and Cathedral. Wheeling High entered the Bethany Sectional Tournament, received a favorable draw, and overwhelmingly humbled Moundsville and Warwood. Hundred, a town with a record of twenty-four straight wins, was pitted against the Gold in the finals, but the Stobbsmen had the fight and wouldn't be beaten, and won the first basketball tournament the Wheeling High School boys ever won. The school was awarded a large handsome plaque and the members of the team received small medals, replicas of the plaque. Winning the sectional meet allotted us entrance to the state tourney held annually at Wesleyan College, Buckhannon. Here the Gold and Blue con- tinued to outfight opponents and defeated East Side, Fairmont, and Parkers- burg in the first and second rounds respectively. Here the wearers of the Gold and Blue again broke all precedent. For three years teams representing Wheel- ing had reached the semi-finals at Buckhannon only to be eliminated-but this time Wheeling gained the privilege of playing in the state Hnal through Spencer, to the tune of 27-14. This was the first Wheeling High School team to play through a state tourney and earn admittance to the iinals. But the story only starts here. With Huntington for the opposition the game see- sawed, with one team leading and then the other. The game ended ll all. An extra period followed, but it was of no avail, as each scored, making it 13-13. There was still another extra five-minute period when the Gold and Blue had to succumb to the bigger team and hence one better fitted for such endurance, but it was only after a most desperate struggle of Hfteen minutes' playing time. In such a fashion Wheeling High School released the much-sought- after hold on the state title. This game will long be remembered in basketball circle of the state and the fact that our boys covered themselves with glory in their gallant struggle by their never-dying fighting spirit. Each member of the team received miniature silver basketballs. Wheeling also received the distinc- tion of having its two guards, Captain Sauvageot and Ratcliffe, placed on the first all-tourney team, as well as LaRue on the second team. Our school then received an invitation from the University of Chicago to compete in the National Interscholastic Basketball Tournament. We ac- cepted and, to our joy, found that the expense of the trip was to be defrayed by generous contributions gathered by a few prominent citizens and local news- papers. The team was eliminated in the first round of the Major Tourney by Waukegan, Illinois, and again in the Consolation Tourney by Waterloo, Iowa. We know that our boys all did their best, and that is all we can ask. The team was most ably managed by Louis Millick. We are safe in saying that the season as a whole was most genuinely successful. Letters were awarded to: Capt. George Sauvageot Behrens Ulrich George Ratcliffe Russell LaRue William Emblem Lester Geisel William Ewing Mgr. Louis Millick lll 5 ,. 4... lik l ,.'St. Boys' Basketball 'I' IS generally agreed that the basketball season of l925 was the most suc- cessful in the recent history of Wheeling High School. The record of sched- uled games was well above the average and gives us a good claim to the city and valley championship. The team, however, only hit its real stride at the tournaments, as it won the Bethany aflair. which qualified us for the state meet at Buckhannon, from which we emerged as runners-up. The squad was then tendered the singular honor of participating in the national tourney held in Chicago. When the call for candidates at the beginning of the season was issued. Coach Stobbs was greeted with four letter men, Geisel and LaRue at forwards. and Captain Sauvageot and Ratcliffe at guards. With this veteran timber, limblem and Ewing worked well into the center post. We shall refrain from giving a detailed resume of the season here, as a glance at the record will show eleven victories and four defeats. One of the latter was by Victory High School of Clarksburg. and we split a set of games 110 Qu-XB E LING, ' Y Girls Basketball Team Wheeling ........ 43 Moundsville . . . . 15 Wheeling , . . . 26 Triadelphia. , . . 22 Wheeling . . . . 26 Warwood. . . . 18 Wheeling . . . . 32 Bellaire . . . . 19 Wheeling . . . . 38 Sistersville. . . . 16 Wheeling . . . . 33 Pennsboro . , , . 15 Wheeling . . . . 30 Sistersville. . . . . 21 Wheeling . . . , 33 Warwood. . . . . 18 Wheeling . . . . 35 Moundsville . , . . 19 Wheeling . . . . 22 Bellaire .... . . 16 Wheeling . . . . . 43 Triadelphia. . . . 20 361 199 THEY stand undefeated, undisputed, city and valley champions, with a record that is above any in the state: hence they are claimants in the first degree for the State Title. All this is said most authentically of the Girls' Basket- ball Team of Wheeling High School. Too little praise has been given to this fast-stepping group of Kleiners, Under the capable tutelage of Miss Klein, our girl tossers this year have III again placed the Old Gold and Blue on the pinnacle of basketball supremacy which they previously held year after year. Beginning the season with an abundance of veteran stock, coupled with an ample supply of reserve material from last year, the team did just as was expected and had a genuinely good year. It will be recalled that in the campaign of 1924, we suffered only one reverse, and that at the hands of Warwood. But lo and behold, that stain was thoroughly eradicated this year by two large double victories over the Ninth Warders! These two games, together with sweet victories over Triadel- phia, gave us the first leg of the three-fold championship referred to in the opening paragraph. In the remaining valley games played Moundsvlle and Bellaire had their colors twice lowered by Captain Kaiser and her regiment. Anybody who would say that these eight victories over the four mentioned schools of the Ohio Valley is insuflicient for the crown of the vale would only be looking for a fruitless argument. Besides having scheduled the leading sextettes of the Panhandle, we had a double engagment with Sistersville and a single meeting with Pennsboro. On the downstate trip, Sisterville's measure was taken on their spacious new floor. The following evening, our basketeers played Pennsboro, state cham- pions of twenty-four. The results even surpassed our fondest hopes and ex- pectations, for the Gold and Blue waved at the 33 mark with the champs' banner registering 15. 1 We feel perfectly sure that if there had been a tournament this year, we would be displaying another silver basketball in our Trophy Case. As it is, we must gain satisfaction in our claim to the honors, which is substantially backed up by victories over some of the most prominent teams of the state. It is diflicult to say much of the personnel of the team as they always worked as a unit, a Hghting team. Every member of the squad was imbued with that determination to fight hard and scrap hard, even though it were up-hill or against the wall. In that rests the success.

Football THE results of the past football season are somewhat triangular-three vic- tories, three tie games, and three defeats. Lack of seasoned material, together with a heavy schedule, are the causes of the mediocrity. Among the schools of the valley, we had as hard a schedule as any, not only playing the leading local teams but also the headliners in state circles. At the end of the season, out of a squad of thirty members, a good half were either Freshmen or Sopho- mores, young and with practically no previous experience. Much credit goes to Coach Stobbs, who was again ably assisted by our faithful alumnus, Jakey Rider, in overcoming these apparently unsurmountable obstacles. Although the season opened on September twentieth with Union, we did not really find ourselves till the jaunt to Moundsville when we took the Orange- men over into camp 7-0. The new score board. which was dedicated on the afternoon of the Magnolia game, received a good workout registering our 30-7 victory over the New Martinsville aggregation, A delegation of five hundred students and citizens of Wheeling accompanied the team to Fairmont only to see West Side humble us 13-0. The one shining bright spot of the season was, of course, our victory over Linsly. This offered an evening-up of the defeat they handed us the previous year. However, not much less glorious for the Gold and Blue was the game with Huntington, which was picked as an easy winner. as it held the State Championship in 1923.

From the applause this organization receives at its Monday morning appearances, one may readily judge of the place it holds in the affections of the students. It has co-operated in every public function held by the High School pupils, and has contributed much to the success of the debates, lectures, and the Senior Class Play. Other public appearances were at the I. O. O. F. Lodge, The Woman's Club, The K. of P. Lodge, Malta Temple with the Boys' Glee Club, and it is rumored that Mr. Edwards hopes to take the orchestra to Pitts- burgh in the near future in order that they may broadcast from Station KDKA, Too much can not be said of the unusual quality of work of the following members of the orchestra: FIRST VIOLIN SECOND VIOLIN Samuel Rubin Wilbur Giesey Jerry Boughner John Gherasim Russel Henning , Anne Kovacs Charles Glauser Dorothy Beck Virginia Whitham William Beihl Helen Ulrich Charles Lukashuwich Lillie Kutchmann Elinor Duncan William Zimmermann Fred Brand Nelson Mehlman Evelyn Carlson Charles Ihlenfeld Elinor Steindorf George Edwards Gertrude Noyes Melvin Brandt VIOLINCELLO SAXOPI-IONES Thomas Boyd Elizabeth MeKee Selma Carlson CLARINETS SECOND TRUMPET Ivan Myers George Boyd William Seamon Shirley Gardner FIRST TRUMPET MELOPHONE Robert Tigglebeck Phoebe Marie Evans John Dunkle Raymond Ziegler DRUMS Ward Adams TROMBONE Carl Bruhn PIANO Margaret Johnson MR.

The first part of the program consisted of short stunts : the last part. of a regular minstrel show, with Willard Phillips as lnterlocutor, and William Zimmerman, Russell Woody, Julius Zwicker, and Jerome Millison as ballad singers. The minstrel was so enjoyed by participants and onlookers that The Boys' Glee Club and the girls who helped in the singing and dancing have decided to make it an annual spring occasion. The Orchestra HE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA has become an indispensable feature of school life. Not only do those who play in it receive the benent of learning the technique of orchestral work, valuable instruction, both in playing and in the appreciation of music that will be of practical help to them in future years, but also the school body and the community of Wheeling must acknowledge a real benefit gained from this orchestra. Our first orchestra was organized in l9l4 by Miss Lucy Robinson and has grown, until today there is a symphony orchestra of forty pieces. Perhaps CContinued on page lOl J 99 DQ , -1 . ,- J V, .1- LL.

Mr. Edwards graduated from W. H. S., went to XV. Va. U., and from there entered. at the declaration of the World War, the Publicity Bureau of the U. S. Marines. Later he travelled in the Keith Circuit as pianist for Lillian Russell's Company. As an organist, pianist, 'cellist, and composer he has delighted Wheeling for many years, and is now organist and musical director at the Fourth Street M. E.

Their well-trained voices, which blend beautifully, are a pleasure to all who hear them. Mr. Edwards has several times combined the two Culee Clubs in a mixed chorus with very satisfactory results. When will W. H. S. have a broadcasting station so that all the world may hear the exquisite harmony produced by these able singers who bring boundless enthusiasm to their excellent work? Both Cwlee Clubs will ligure prominently in a musical comedy, Joan of Arkansas, with the principals and a mixed chorus of fifty coached by Miss Wylie and Mr. Edwards. The proceeds will go to purchase new equipment for the High School stage and the Music Department. 97 f W I QV 5 1' JW Qs 'Ml gewsffii c-g,. -157.75- Yo po AND A Burials of RUP!

The Musical Association HE MUSICAL ASSOCIATION OF YVHEELING HIGH SCHOOL is characterized by its seriousness of purpose in producing in far from an amateurish fashion really noteworthy programs for the edification of both school and city. The Orchestra, Girls' Cilee Club, and Boys' Glee Club have contributed jointly and separately untold pleasure to the community this year. Mr. Edwards has worked incessantly to bring the organization to its present high place of accomplishment. In all of the work, he has had the sin- cere and unstinted backing of the School Board, which, with the especial effort of Dr. Linsz. has presented the school with a grand piano unequalled in size and tone for concert work. In a real studio, new this year, Mr. Edwards meets his musicians, arranges the rehearsals, lectures on the general pinciples of musical theory and the appreciation of music, with illustrations from victrola music and the studio piano. The first concert of the year was given by the Musical Clubs on January 2nd in the High School Auditorium. and was deservedly a great success. On February 16 the Musical Clubs presented, for the purpose of increasing the wide-growing appreciation of good music, The Zimmer Harp Trio. The grade schools in the afternoon, and the public at night, listened to the wonderful performance on that little known instrument, the harp, and the brilliant singing of the tenor, Mario Cappeli. A dance given by the clubs at the McLure Hotel added to the gaity of High School life and helped to increase the club's funds. Next year, the High School Band, now being trained, will make its wel- come appearance as a regular member of the musical organization. Apparently there is no limit to the ambition or the capacity of our director and the music- ally gifted students. 96 Order of Gregg Artists 1924-1925 Miss JEANETTE PRYOR, Sponsor 'PHE members of this club are those who have achieved a high degree of workmanship in shorthand writing, Miss Jeanette A.

The present ofhcers organized the Camera Club this year, and imme- diately asked Mr. Ebers to be sponsor. All those interested assembled, elected their officers, and framed a constitution. The big problem was to get material. Mr. Ebers submitted his laboratory, gave invaluable advice, and the Board of Education provided the Hrst necessary supplies. Several hundred dollars were expended for equipment and soon exten- sive work began. New light-proof blinds were put in the laboratories, together with all the necessities for developing and printing pictures, The most valuable acquisi- tion is an 8 x IO camera. This Hne piece of machinery, we hope, will be profit- able both to the club and the school, The first work that the members did was to make Kodak pictures of the football players to present to the boys at the annual banquet. Next, they made a flashlight picture of the basketball team, which appeared in an issue of THE RECORD. Since the Spring they have been busily taking snapshots for this ANNUAL. 93 Radio Club MR. C. H. Emails. Sponsor HIS is Station W. H. S., The Radio Club of Wheeling High School broad- casting the results of a very successful year of meetings. These meetings were attended by: Harry S. Hesse.

William Callahan, Eleanor Dunlap, Henry Fueg, Edgar Oliver, Kathryn Knabe, Margaret Knabe. Charles l.eiphart, Crayce Meinhart, Carolyn Merschrod. August Petroplus. William Seaman. ln these meetings, held every Monday, we have tried to live up to our purpose of trying to stimulate an interest in Radio and to instruct those interested in radio work. To further this purpose. the president organized a Radio Class for beginners and instructed them along the line of Radio symbols in order that they might be able to understand even the most complicated hook-up . Mr. Ebers, the sponsor of the club, has also been very active, and it was through his efforts that co-operative buying has been made possible in the club. Now every club member in good standing can buy radio parts at 2570 dis- count. Because of these things we believe that the Radio Club of Wheeling High offers a great deal in entertainment, instruction, and material advantages to its members, and is therefore one of the best, though one of the youngest. organizations of the school. This is Station W. H. S.. The Radio Club of Wheeling High School. signing off until September, 1925, when we shall again have many things of interest to offer to any student of Wheeling High School who wishes to become a member of the Radio Club. 92 W.

Dorothy Van Tress, Stanley Cunningham, William Rahr, and Mr. Egger, Sponsor. The ofiicers from June to January were: Herman Burk- hardt, President: Willard Phillips, Vice-President: Ruth Brown, Secretary and Treasurer. The Debate Club celebrated its first birthday last October, l924, after a year of hard work in which the club became famous for its interest and skill in the art of debating. Without this organization it would have been impos- sible for W. H. S. to enter into the Triangular Debate held between Marietta, Parkersburg, and Wheeling High Schools. This year the club was more than glad to welcome as their true friend. sponsor and coach, Mr. Donald C. Egger, from New Martinsville, who works untiringly for the club's success. The Debate Club worked very hard during September, October, and November preparing for the debate tryouts held in December. Much interest was shown in these tryouts which resulted in the selection of two very capable teams to represent the Old Gold and Blue. Although the Negative Debate Team met defeat at the hands of the Marietta Debate Team, it was more than recompensed by the decisive vic- tory which the Aflimative Team made over Parkersburg. Too much credit cannot be given these two splendid teams who have worked so diligently for W. H. S. 91 El Circulo Castellano MR. J. C. Btzowrv. Sponsor il.I.IAM M.

Ofhcers for the Fall Semester were: Charles Keim, President: Ruth West- wood. Vice-President: Elizabeth Schlesinger, Secretary-Treasurer. The Spanish Club, organized last year and capably led by Senor Brown, is doing interesting work, for it provides a splendid opportunity for students to practice the Castilian language in practical conversation. As far as possible. all speaking is carried on in Spanish, although proficiency is not a requirement for membership. Parliamentary laws and even the minutes are in Spanish. At each meeting there is a program of playlets and the translation of his- torical notes about Spanish speaking countries, and music typical of Spain. Pictures of these countries with Spanish descriptions have been shown, and once a trip through Mexico by lantern-slides was featured. The results were amusing when the club organized a quartet to sing folk- songs in Spanish, among which was The Red, White and Blue. We greatly enjoyed a recent meeting held at the home of Elwood Witt, where we played games and had refreshments for it has been found that Urefrese cos add to the enjoyment of meetings. Some members have gained interesting ideas and new expressions by exchanging letters with students of English in Chile and Spain. The opinions of those countries concerning us are of value for they may help to bring about better international relations. The club is very grateful to its sponsor. Mr. Brown, for his enthusiasm in helping the members make this the best club possible. 90 Pi-Mu Literary Society Miss CARRo1.L, Miss Bow, Miss WIl,EY, Sponsors NORMA LAUE. -President: Helen Schlesinger, Vice-President: Ruth Brown, Secretary-Treasurer: Elizabeth Schlesinger, Herman Burkhardt.

The Pioneer and Mountaineer Literary Societies combined at the begin- ning of the year to form the Pi-Mu Literary Society, one of the most enter- raining and successful organizations in the High School. This society meets bi-weekly, and the members present entertaining and interesting programs, which consist of dramatics, studies of various authors, public speaking, and games. The society has publicly presented two very successful plays. The first, The Cihost Story, by Booth Tarkington, was the feature of a Christmas program presented in chapel with the aid of the Cilee Clubs. Recently it gave another play, The Third Man. Members are making plans for a more satisfactory election of new mem- bers and for includin in next ear's ro ram uest s eakers, who will add H I Us Y P s s iv greatly to the inspiration and success of the club. Miss Carroll's enthusiastic assistance and her invaluable advice have done much to keep high the standards of this society. 89 Latini Socii of W. H. S. lioumled rlnno Domtm' 1022.

Many members have lived up to the motto, 'Seize the opportunity. by availing themselves of the chance to gain knowledge not ordinarily gotten in the classroom. This year witnessed a close contest between the two sides of the club. Each member received points for participation in the entertaining programs, offering suggestions for the club, writing articles for THIS RECORD. or working on a committee. The highest scorer received the club pin free of charge. This pin. of which the owners are very proud, consists of a silver scroll, bearing the inscription in purple letters: W. H. S. Latini Socii. The programs. consisting of talks on Roman myths, the private life of the Romans ttheir dress, festivities. buildings. customsJ. plays such as The Cfonspiratorsf' are very entertaining and instructive.

After pledging support to Mr. Ewing, who addressed them at the first meeting, the members chose Mr. Markley as sponsor. They have found him to be a good companion, a helpful advisor, and an able leader, both in spiritual and business ways. Mr. Rhodes of the Y, M. C. A. has also been in close con- tact with the club. The first important activity was the trip to the State Older Boys' Con- ference in Fairmont at Thanksgiving. The three days spent there were very proitable in giving new ideas of boys' work and a conception of won- derful fellowship, which alone was worth the trip. The Hi-Y gave two successful parties during the year-one at Halloween and a Roller Skating Party at Christmas. Another outstanding event was the Hi-Y Chapel, when the club con- ducted chapel, had several of its own speakers, and presented a musical program. 87 E WMEELING E Other Senior Students secured several pages of advertising. TYPING The typists were Katherine Mullen, Rosella Weitzell, and many faithful volunteers. among whom were Martha Braun and Mary Hamm, and Mr. Keylor's class. QAI .FS CAMPAIGN The entire RECORD Staff conducted the sales campaign, ably headed by Kenneth Cameron, who also managed the distribution of the books. The Staff wishes to express its appreciation to Miss Nora Miller, former sponsor of THIS RECORD, for her interest and invaluable advice.

ADVERTISING This Advertising Staff has the honor of having secured more advertise- ments than have ever before gone into a W. H .S. ANNUAL. The highest praise must go to the following students who labored steadfastly and untiringly to make the ANNUAL a success: John Hein Julius Zwicker Donald Reed ' Stanley Cunningham Solomon Bobes Mary Eliza Noyes Lafayette Graner 85 E QMEELING E Donald Reed, Kenneth Cameron, and Lucile Shields have labored untiringly and have given abundant proof of their genius for newspaper work. Donald Reed with his special articles, his assistance in the advertising department, Kenneth with his enthusiastic interest in the grade school department, the Clubs and the Hobby Column, Lucile with her gifted ability to write any type of article at any time and do it exceptionally well, have been invaluable. Helen Schlesinger, of the splendid Historic Wheeling Department, Frances Ebeling and Malcolm Moore, class reporters, have also been faithful, general workers about the office, and have frequently helped with the mechanical end of the paper. Budd Haberstick has enlivened the paper with his excellent drawings that prove he has both talent and a sense of humor. The sport page, written by Benny Paur, Mary Mott, Lester Cieisel, Margaret Haven, the first half of the year and carried on by Behrens Ulrich, our versatile circulation manager the second half, has been a source of joy to the school. Norma Laue cheerfully accepted her duty of reading the hundred papers that come to us from other schools and has often been complimented by those other papers for her skillful handling of her column. Grayce Meinhart carried on the Alumni Department-one that took much work--with diligence and skill. Dorothy Van Tress and Virginia Jones with their jokes, and Sara Hartenstein with her personals have never failed to supply THE RECORD with good material. With the price of material much higher than at any previous time, it took unusual effort for the business staff to keep THE RECORD in the land of the living. The wolf howled at our door several times, but Jerome Millison. business manager, and John Hein, advertising manager, always succeeded in foiling him-and to them and their assistants, Frank Cornwell and Donald Reed, who also worked royally, the school owes a great part of the paper's suc- cess. They have done remarkably well, and showed a business acumen far beyond their years. Behrens Ulrich has been throughout the year a loyal circulation manager and all-around help, and he and Malcolm Moore and Charles Ihlenfeld deserve congratulations! Anything to type? There always was-a matter of l 1,000 words for each issue, and Kathryn Mullen, faithful, accurate, tireless, and Rozella Weitzell and Mary Mott, also excellent typists, bore the brunt of this burden, and Kathryn Mullen continued her splendid service up to the last word of the ANNUAL. That was the Staff-and I shall speak for Mr. Ewing and Mr. Danford and myself when I say that we have found it a fine one with whom it has been a pleasure to work. V1Ro1N1A K. HEINLEIN. 84 E YMEELING E VIRGINIA K. HIEINLEIN CHARI-EY DANFORD Spgmsor of The Recgrd Business Sponsor of The Record The Record HE RECORD STAEE OF 1924-Z5 makes its bow to you after its year of service-a year that was both strenuous and profitable. The Staff mem- bers were an amiable, friendly lot who worked diligently and harmoniously so that new ideas, many of which were adopted, flourished. The Staff made THE RECORD this year a sixteen-page monthly magazine that attempted to represent to its own and the public eye all phases of school life, Some of the innovations added to this news sheet were: The Historic Wheeling department, that offers glimpses of the really fascinating history of our city: the Hobby Column, that encourages the collective instinct, at some time present in everyone, whether it be for stamps, coins, autographs or state seals: the Literary page, that introduces first masterpieces of the next generation of authors: the Alumni News, that is devoted to the strengthening of the bond between the Alumnus and his Alma Mater, and which not only gives the undergraduate an idea of the occupations that may be open to him but serves to keep the Alumni in touch with one another and the school spirit he will certainly want to keep green in his memory: the Junior High School News, that by arousing in its contributors and readers of the eighth grades of the city an enthusiasm for Wheeling High School and by fostering an understanding of its activities and its spirit, cannot help making the transition from grade to High school a more rapid, easier one. A few words should be said about the members of the Staff. Courageous they have been-to undertake this great amount of work in addition to class requirements-and faithful to their task. Ruth Zearott, blessed with an orderly mind, a love of work well-done, and an ever present cheerfulness, has given abundantly of her spare hours and her energy to make the paper worth- while. She has been an admirable executive, and to her must go much praise. 83 9:- E Wk-IEELING U Clubs and Organizations Of W. H. S. THE RECORD STAFF .,.

E. Githens. as a very valuable and necessary adjunct, and am highly pleased to note that schools here and there throughout the country are rounding out their secular education with religious instruction, a feature that no doubt will contribute largely to the spiritual life of the youth. This is the second year, under the capable and inspiring leadership of Mr. Chas. T. Bates, that W. H. S. has offered at the Y. M. C. A. an elective course in Bible Study. We are always glad to welcome Mr. Bates on Wednesday morning, when, in an invigorating and effective manner, he conducts our chapel exercises. 78 THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY CContinued from page 751 authority upon the subject of love and fair ladies, and whose witty remarks caused many smiles, played by Hank Ewing: Sir Richard Clifford, who thinks that there is Ha lady in the case, played by Julius Zwicker: Sinclair, the peacemaker, who is Basil Davies, trying to reconcile Sir George and Dent when they quarrel over Ursula: Mr. Ward, amusingly played by Charles Robinson, who remarks that fighting is well enough for the Irish : Devereau, a jolly good fellow who is fond of his wine and his sword, played by Bill Rahr. Russell Woody as the pompous butler, and Mary Eliza Noyes as the petite maid, were especially fine in their parts, and we insist that Jane Stollar, as dear old Quilton, showed great ability as a character actress. Herman Burkhardt, the servant, and Fanny Armstrong, a cousin of the heroine, were very suc- cessful in their parts. Much credit goes to the members of the executive committees who worked so hard in order to put on the play. Without the efficient labor of the stage, property, lighting and advertising committees, the play could not have been produced. To Miss Wiley, who was the main factor in bringing about such a grand success, the members of the cast and the Senior Class cannot sufiiciently express their gratitude for coaching the play so patiently and well. The combined efforts of the coach, the executive committees, and the actors brought about what some believe to be the best-acted play in the history of the high school. Indeed, if Sir Anthony Hope could have looked down upon us some time near the end of March, he would have been exuberantly happy to know that his fondest hopes had been realized when the Seniors of Wheeling High produced The Adventures of Lady Ursula I The Senior Class Play of l925 OE WHEELINC1 HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTS The Adventures of Lady U rsuIa A PLAY IN FOUR ACTS By ANTHONY HOPE Under the Direction Miss Beth Wiley MUSIC BY THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Mr. Oliver Edwards, Director CAST OF CHARACTERS Un Order of Their Appearance?

Those who saw i'The Adventures of Lady Ursula are most hearty in their praises of the acting ability of the Seniors. Most old-fashioned plays depend largely upon the gorgeous costumes for their charm but, although the Wide hoop- skirts and knee-breeches added pic- turesqueness, the main feature of this play was the splendid acting itself. Myrtle Harness as Lady Ursula was especially adapted to the part she interpreted, that of a spirited young debutante who endeavors, in a strange fashion, to Win the heart of Sir George Sylvester, who hates the sight of women. How she Hnally succeeds and the difficulties in which she becomes involved form the chief center of interest in the plot. Play- ing opposite her, as Sir George, was Lucian Anderson, the handsome, dashing hero, who successfully depicted the part of the avowed woman-hater who finally succumbed to the wiles of the beautiful Lady Ursula. Stanley Cunningham as Lord Hassenden, Lady Ursula's brother, and Dorothy Van Tress as Miss Dorothy Fenton, his Hancee, played the part of the romantic lovers to perfection. Helena Fenton, the cousin of Dorothy and Ursula, was Margaret Keesor, Whose voice and acting were very pleasing. Blimcoe, the pious pastor, added a delightful touch of humor by his over-polite manners and monotonous sermons, Charles Keim showed surprising ability as that pompous person. Mrs. Fenton, the old aunt of Dorothy and Helena. was another humorous character. Who else could have assumed such a horri- fied expression upon hearing that Lady Ursula had tried to force her company upon Sir George but Henrietta Hein? We can see her yet as she says, 'Alt was not the custom in my girlhoodf' or Pray endeavor to conduct yourselves with more gentilityfn She and Blimcoe kept the audience in a constant roar of laughter. Then there was Dent, admirably played by Jerome Millison, who as the gentleman of honor , gets into a quarrel with Ursula when she attends a stag party dressed in her brother's clothes, and was very funny. Castle- ton, Sir George's friend. Was especially fine as acted by Willard Phillips. The officers of the Kings Guard made a brilliant spectacle with such characters as Mr. Weild, the gentleman who is shocked at the idea of pistols in the dining room, played by Solomon Bobes: Sir William Harrison, an fContinued on page 775 75 MISS BETH E.

The time-honored custom is that just preceding the closing of the school term, the graduating class presides over all chapel activities and at that time portrays to the world its true and mighty self through its Roast. Boast, Toast, History, Will and Prophecy. From the rise of the curtain which gave full view of that unparalleled group till the sound of that time-worn declaration- Assembly's dismissed - the entire school, students and faculty alike, was held inspired and aghast by what they saw and heard that day.

We feel that Wheeling High School will indeed wait long for the class that will be able to take over the assembly period in such a manner as was done by the paramount class of the Old Gold and Blue. . .......,,......................,......... . l MISS EVA HERD A W.

G Class Will By lilizahc-th Schlesinger and Solomon Bobes THE CLASS OF l925 OF WIIEELING HIGH SCHOOL, being about to pass out of this sphere of education in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory. and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or may- hap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. As for such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: SECTION I ARTICLE I To the Board of Education we bequeath our deepest appreciation for their most humane treatment of us in giving us numerous and long vacations. SECTION II ARTICLE I To the Faculty we give and bequeath a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over our cramming knowledge, at their command, throughout the dark hours, till dawn sends us to our well-earned and much-needed rest. ARTICLE II To Mr. Ewing we leave the supervision of the school, having full faith that he will discharge his duties as faithfully as we have done heretofore. Also, we leave to Mr. Ewing the freedom from noise and loud talking in the halls, which will be noticeable immediately upon our departure. . ARTICLE III To Miss Hackett and Miss Hall we leave the balance in our class treasury, to be used in buying two pairs of rubber shoes for the detective work which we feel sure will be necessary in dealing with the classes that are to be our successors. ARTICLE IV To Miss Carroll and Miss Dague we leave the original method of out- lining which we demonstrated in our literature notebooks. ARTICLE V To Mr. Ely. our fatherly guide, who has led our faltering footsteps along the path toward success, we leave our heartfelt thanks. SECTION III ARTICLE I To the Junior Class we leave the physical prowess, courage and eloquence bequeathed to us by the Class of 1924. We never used them, as our own were so far superior. ARTICLE II We leave to the Juniors all such boys and girls as were not able to keep pace with the brilliant students who compose the majority of our class. ARTICLE III We bequeath our Senior dignity to the Juniors, trusting they will uphold it forever, with all seriousness and gravity, endeavoring to realize its vast im- portance in spite of their natural levity and irresponsibility. ARTICLE IV To the Juniors we leave the privilege of talking in Chapel while Mr. Ewing watches the inferior members of the student body. , 68 EEL G U Class Toast B Our schoolmates paused to harken To a loud and awful roar, As a band of Freshies moored their bark Outside the High School door. Not as most shy Freshmen come We, brave-hearted came! We were hailed with beating drums, Trumpets that sang of fame. Now we are quite loath to tell Of our importance here, But the first day we arrived, well- We were asked to cheer! It is true the lofty Seniors Looked at us with awe, And, the Sophomores and Juniors Took our words as law! We studied hard most every night, Great wisdom we achieved: Indeed, we proved so very bright Our teachers never grieved. In Basketball our boys won fame: That you know quite well! When we hear their praises sung, With pride our hearts do swell. Our lassies of the Gold and Blue? They ne'er can be surpassed! y Lucile Shields In debating none e'er surpass us: In fact, we lead all of the classes! We scatter sunshine, spread much glee: We're everything a class should be! But alas! though we arrive At the goal toward which we strive, We cannot help shed many a tear That we must leave our school so dear. I-Iere's to teachers, calm and sweet, For better friends we'll never meet! Our pranks have brought them many woes We hope they'll forget as on time goes. Here's to our principal and friend, Our love for him will never end: I-Ie's always on hand to help or inspire: Of Mr. Ewing we'll never tire. Then here's to the school we love so well! In our hearts it e'er will dwell, We'll sing its praises as long as we live, For knowledge it never fails to give. Our short years now are over: Our footsteps will tread no more The empty halls that echo With mem'ries of days of yore. Though far away we wander And our feet will ever roam, The whole world knows what they can do, When we think of our golden school days And that they're not outclassed. A handsome boy, a pretty lass? Why beautiful girls abound! And in no other class on earth Can sheikier sheiks be found! Our hearts remain at home. Farewell to thee, Alma Mater! We say as we go from your door. With tear-dimmed eyes and swelling hearts We bid thee, Au revoir! 67 if 4 sf? ,f Our fir-51' Mrs Cla 5 -res In flue Rnd ,MH C.

So we focused the instrument and sure enough just as we looked a big lion came roaring out of his den. Before they had time to shoot him, he made a dive at poor Louis Moser. But John Flaherty came to the rescue with his drum. He began playing upon it and the lion was so astounded that he forgot to bite Louis. John suggested that we now try out this extraordinary invention on Wheeling, This we did, and were just in time to hear Willard Phillips, our orator, dedicate a monument to the football and basketball heroes of Wheeling High. Then we took a look into Wheeling High School, We met many familiar faces. Phil White was now occupying the position of principal: Norma Laue was teaching American History: Mary Kenyon was the English Lit teacher: Elizabeth Schlesinger taught French: Theo Woodburn was the instructor in Latin: Sara McGavin was typewriting supervisor: and Thelma Kindelberger had taken Miss Ross's place in the Cafeteria. We learned that Vera Herd was teaching at Elliott. And would you believe it? Carrie MacClement was the Governor of West Virginia, and Thelma Britt the Mayor of Wheeling. After this, John closed up the instrument. lt had all been so Wonderful that we could hardly believe our own eyes. But then, what else was to be expected of the best graduating class that ever walked out of Wheeling High? ! l -isifq' ,- lf ' f V I nikki 4 -raow' ffffvgs- 4' F X 1 y X f V Qi' .t as L ac- yi, ,,f?1,b.Q4Q.f, X!! y K 49.517-Q -'ft bf, -sffi?:'5Stg573fT?2?-'f'Tfli775?:.z47 'll' -uzzig -2 f-si --41 it FQ3 ,, -,5w5.4Z1jv if ,537 xN5Q59AiiEYi:z: 1 i.6vx717':4j'WH ,gh VWQJMQL. 2 W' ai r? 1253 'E i sf' 1'f?f11rr-ml!

Inside, Fanny was applying mud to a poodle dog. and Elizabeth McGregor was the assistant. They informed us that they liked their work very much and that dogs were a lot easier to handle than men. On the opposite side of the street was a bakeshop owned by Ruth Fred- erick, Rose Hohn, and Mildred Eberle. They told us that Louis Millick had had all his front teeth except one knocked out in a football game and that they felt sorry for him and had given him a job biting holes in doughnuts. After this view faded, another took form. We saw Ruth Brown with her debating team, which was touring the country and had won every debate so far. She told us that Dot Englehardt and Margaret Crolley had established a cafeteria for all underfed domestic animals outside of Chicago. We also learned that Bill McClain was the coach of Notre Dame and one of the great- est in history. Then we saw a shop on Ellis Island which was owned by Malzenia Crosby's husband, the famous Bobbie Rehm. As we looked up the river we saw Irene McKibben sitting in a boat peering over into the water. She blew a whistle and hundreds of fish of all kinds and colors appeared and crowded around the boat. She explained that she had discovered the language of the fish and could converse with them very easily. Poor Fish! Irene told us that Mary Eliza Noyes was the first woman Ambassador to England and was considered the greatest since John Jay's time. Mildred Marsh. Margaret Sonda, and Helen Ulrich had established a Charm School for young women. They were very successful as they pos- sessed much of that quality themselves. Esther Werner and her girls' team were just celebrating their victory in the International tournament in which they had captured the Championship of the U. S. The next scene was in England and we were just in time to witness the wedding of Ruth Zearott to the Prince of Wales. The Prince had been much like his grandfather in declining the society of women, but when he fell, he fell hard. And to think that Ruthie was his fair charmer! Again we were back in New York, and this time we saw Kathryn Knabe. the famous woman fullback, make a touchdown for Vassar College. This was the first woman's school to have a football team. She told us that Elizabeth Jones had just published a book which was the best seller of the year, and that Isabelle Greer was to take her place soon as the head of the American Red Cross. Henrietta Hein ran a kindergarten in the slums of New York, where she gave a helping hand to thousands of starving children. Dear Heinie always did have a kind heart. We were anxious to know what had become of Lafe Graner. As we looked, we saw a tub with a man inside it bobbing up and down on the Pacific Ocean. It proved to be Lafe. who was trying to prove that Diogenes was right by sailing around the world in a tub. Just at that moment a whale came to the surface and Lafe and his boat were stranded on its back. But Lafe was not to be discouraged: he took his oar and speared the mammal with it. After this experience, he told us that Herman Burkhardt was a missionary to the cannibals and had received some rather rough treatment in their hands, but that he finally charmed them with his orations. He also told us that Russell Woody was a great peanut king in San Francisco and head of the Mammoth Peanut Corporation. 64 E QMEELWG E Millison and Larry Koehrsen. Bill Rahr was the champion prize fighter and was to give an exhibition of his skill. His sparring partner was Carolyn Merschrod, who also played the accompaniment for Larry and Jerome. Charles Bowers, the famous marimba soloist, and George Edwards, the master violinist, always held their audiences spellbound, Mary and Fay told us. They paid a special compliment to the expert piano accompaniment of Margaret Johnson. D We stayed to enjoy this program and see Myrtle Harness, who had become famous as a male impersonator. This talent seemed to have dated back to the time she played the part of Walter Barrington in the Class Play. Lucian, of course, was the dashing young hero, but, sad to relate, he fell on his sword in the end. The acting was so realistic that we were obliged to shed a few tears. Afterwards we learned that Dorothy Van Tress was the leading lady in Dimmack's Follies and had won much admiration by her sweet voice and dainty ways. Albert Dimmack was considered quite an authority on beautiful women. As we went on to the rest of our friends, we found that Ruth Westwood was a famous detective and had captured the worst bandit in Mexico. Robert Balzer and Nile Bow had just completed an aeroplane which was the speediest of its kind. They told us that there was to be an aeroplane race across the continent and that Lilli Kutchman, the famous speed demon, was to drive this plane. Next we looked upon a cafe in Paris and to our surprise saw Add Cun- ningham and Bill Emblem giving an exhibition dance. They informed us that they held the title for the World's Marathon Dancers. At another table was a group of athletes from Wheeling High. They had all won honors for America in the Olympic games. Hank Ewing had established a new wor1d's record for pole vaulting and Jane Stollar had taken first place in the diving contest. Peg Snider was now the tennis champion of the world, and Mary Mott had established a new running record for women, Peg Keesor had just made a new record for swimming the English Channel and Bertha Kaiser now held first honors in the high jump. Another winner in the Olympic games was Les Geisel, who had walked off with first honors in an unusual race, which consisted of balancing a plate on his head while running. It was surely a victory worth celebrating. The scene which now attracted our attention was in Australia. Rose Front, Bernice Huebel, and Angela Jacobucci were making a study of kan- garoos and Rose was writing a book upon their habits. Charles Keim was also visiting in Australia. He had mastered sixty different languages and dialects and was now learning that of the Bushmen of this country. Again we looked, and this time we saw Mildred Colvin being crowned l'Miss America . Among the crowd was Martha Braun who was the wife of John D. Rockefeller's grandson. They seemed to be very much in love with each other. With them was Mary Miller, who was now a Countess, having married the famous French diplomat, Count Add De Nois. Pete Kettler was surrounded by his friends, who were congratulating him upon his success as Ambassador to Russia. Pete had the honor of being the first since the World War. Alta Carpenter was present and we heard that she was delighting thou- sands with her presentation of Shakespeare's plays. Lucile Lewis was discuss- ing plans with a millionaire about decorating his home. It seemed she was in great demand as an interior decorator. 63 E QXQEELING E Class Prophecy By Lueile Shields and Charles Kalkreuth THE last beautiful strains of music died away and Alice Staley arose from her place at the organ. Mr. Kalkreuth of the Kalkreuth Conservatory of Music and I were immediately congratulating her upon her wonderful technique when who should approach us but our radio genius, John Hein! He told us that he had just completed a great telephonoscope which enabled a person to see and talk with anyone he desired wherever he was located. We readily accepted his invitation to visit his laboratory. When we arrived, he took us over to a queer-looking apparatus and mo- tioned for us to look through a large opening. Of course, we were very anx- ious to see what had become of the Class of '25, so we peered eagerly into the machine. At first we saw nothing, but gradually we made out several figures which seemed familiar to us. These were Stan Cunningham, Sol Bobes, Harold Sanders, Louis Hagemeyer, and Harold Armbrecht, who were now considered America's foremost physicians. They had created a wonderful chemical com- pound which would prolong the lives of the users from fifty to a hundred years. They told us the formula for this marvelous scientific wonder was: 1 Pt. of Wheeling Creek water l Ounce of W. Va. moonshine 2 Gallons of Carbolic Acid frecommended by Miss Beckj 7 hairs from Mr. Eber's head We next turned our instrument to a large hotel which was the first suc- cessful steel and glass skyscraper. This magnificent building was the work of Roland Henrichs and had been completed in the previous year. In the lobby of this hotel, we saw Behrens Ulrich. We greeted him and proceeded to ask about his campaign, which had ended in his election as Presi- dent of the United States. He was eager to place most of the credit upon his brilliant campaign manager. Benny Paur. But who could resist Benny's cheerful grin? Surely not the ladies. Benny was now the Secretary of State and one of the most popular men in the whole country. Behrens informed us that he expected to get along very well with his duties since he would have the co-operation of the Speaker of the House. Julius Zwicker, and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Edgar Glauser. Basil Davies was the successful Vice-President, and Behrens had appointed Esther Bonar as his Secretary. We discovered that Helen Wildpret, Elizabeth Hughes, Mabel Lohr, and Wilma Rapp had established an exclusive school of rhythmic typewriting and that Rozella Weitzel was an artist's model and had posed for a famous paint- ing. The name of the picture was A Student of Wheeling High. Across the street we saw a sign which read Robinson-Krebs Typewriter Co. We learned that Charles Robinson and Alberta Krebs shared honors as the World's Champion Typists and had gone into business, manufacturing their own typewriters. Next, we went into a large theater which was owned by Fay Miller and Mary Nesbitt. These ladies had the largest theater in the city and were able to engage some of the best artists of the day. We learned that part of that evening's performance consisted of the world's most noted vocalists, Jerome 62 QHEELING U Perhaps some of our noble deeds, fit to be etched upon pillars of bronze to be displayed to succeeding classes, have slipped your memory. Know then that we, the class of 1925, took pity upon you under-graduates, and elim- inated the casualty list. Remember ye not the list which in the olden days was read immediately before Chapel assembly was dismissed? The introduc- tion ran as follows:- 1 wish to meet in the Office immediately after Chapel, the following --and then! We have introduced more genteel methods of dealing with our unfortunate underclassmen, by appointing Wee Willie Keylor as guardian. It is the duty of this noble and distinguished guardian to make his rounds and check up on his inventory each morning before Chapel time. Has not our class furnished new scenery for the stage so that you fellow- students may produce your future plays in a more elaborate and artistic manner? It was due to the efforts of the Senior Class of 1925 that the small Baby Grand Piano in the Auditorium was replaced by a Huge Concert Grand Piano. And we have also supplied the Cafe with a new piano. In such practical fashion does our musical genius find an outlet to broaden the field of art. We found the corner of the hall on the second floor an obscure nook in which to place our striking trophy cups, brilliant tributes to the prowess of our athletes. Accordingly, we had the case removed to a prominent position in the front hall-even though we were forced to knock down a portion of the mourner's bench to do so. Now upon entering the building-one cannot escape our trophies' predominating glory. This trophy case certainly is a great asset to the female inmates of this institution, as now they may use it as a pier glass before which to powder upon entering and leaving the building. Say we Seniors are not thoughtful individuals to be interested even in your appearance! The following improvements also have we honorable Seniors presented to the school: 1. One additional typewriting room with parking place for chewing gum and dorines. 2. One Music Room. Sorry to say that the sounds from Gus Edwards' room carry too distinctly, so that every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we imagine the rag-man and the cats are battling in the alley. 3. One Filing Course. This does not include filing of timber or nails. 4. One Banking Course. The bank is usually broke-but what's in a name? 5. One new locker room with combination locks. Combination does not refer to sandwiches in this case. 6. Twenty new soap holders for those who don't wash at home. This includes-CI had a long list here but it was deleted by the faculty sponsor. Anyone who wishes to see if his name were on it may examine the original MS. at his conveniencelj 7. Two unabridged dictionaries to replace the much battered and worn antiques. This institution cannot help but profit from our reforms and changes but alas! the school without us will be like the universe without the sun. When we file triumphantly through the portals--out into the expectant world which has been waiting for this event for the past four years-school will even seem a terrihc bore for you undergraduates, for it has been the members of the class of 1925 who have instilled within these silent halls-life! Our fContinued on page 1261 61 E QYEELING E Class Boast By Rose Front and George Edwards DEAR FACULTY AND STUDENTS! We, the honorable and much-beloved Senior Class of 1925, wish to impress upon your minds the great loss W. H. S. will sustain when we. the honorable Seniors, take our exit from these Holy Portals. The year- l925-will be a bright and shining milestone upon the highway of events, not merely because President Coolidge was inducted into oflice as the Chief Executive of the country, or because of the death of Ebert, President of Ger- many-but because we, the honorable Seniors, must needs depart. Never before-in the history of Wheeling High School-has such an intellectual and talented aggregation been launched upon the world. Never before have the members of the faculty enjoyed the privilege of imparting to over-taxed brains information which students had miraculously absorbed long before they had thought of teaching the subject. Can you conceive of a class with more versatile athletes-or more talented musicians, actors, and journalists? Never before in the history of Wheeling have such stellar athletes been produced-nor teams that could equal our present team in ferocity and speed. Have not the most prominent athletes and managers been members of our noble and highly esteemed class? Furthermore, the manager of the Metropolitan Opera already is making appointments with the prominent vocalists of the class. Have you not all been astounded by the rare, rich quality of Monsieur Millison's bass voice? And have not Monsieur Cunningham and Senor Rahr given ethereal demonstrations of The Old Oaken Bucket and Maggie ? The New York Times has already offered the Chief Editorship to a cer- tain member of the class of '25-and the Saturday Evening Post is patiently waiting for the services of an artist in our class for designing its covers. You are forced to admit that our class produced the best Class Play ever presented to the public. Our leading lady and man were the best interpreters of the roles of Lady Ursula Barrington and Sir George who ever acted in that capacity. Flo Zeigfield-I need not introduce the famous gentleman-has offered Dot Van Tress a contract for ten years-and Lucian Anderson, offered a place as understudy to the famous John Barrymore, is contemplating accept- ance. Like the Emperor Augustus of old who found Rome brick and left it marble, there is nothing that we touch which we do not improve and pass on to you endowed with new life and promise. Incited to action by a realization of our unparalleled progress in Civics, we may be called Reformers of Society. What other class has offered such entertaining and amusing Chapel periods as the present Senior Class? Our dances have been the most successful of any ever given by this institution. Only let your memories wander back to June the sixth, nineteen hundred and twenty-four. Is not that famous Junior-Senior Prom a vivid event? Let us recollect a dance given by our note- worthy class when we were Sophomores-another superior event. Without doubt we have been responsible for the most successful social events on the school calendar. 60 O 4, I dk YV' UH W w j'7 S V 600 Q.-49 ...ir 3 STUNTS 2 5 Cl-.OVVNf Lmzw unsum 'Ha Qgms-ww-vm-wx-ff J gfQP' Q ' SHEM '5 ' A mme Guam-e'r H OH JOHNNYQU D vias.:-:z.1NG, U all notice that the members of the A. E. T. P. O. H. always go first, proving that they care little or nothing about our fate. When we return from this horrible trip, we are Uweak in the knees and fairly exhausted: nevertheless, we are expected to go on with our work. Speaking of work, the builders of the Pyramids, the Panama Canal, or the carvers of Stone Mountain have nothing on us when it comes to exams. They are fearful things and not even the best can escape them in this institution. We are harassed by the thought of them weeks beforehand, and when they are over, we are ready for Miss Beck's Grow Eat class. Now, in order to satisfy the A. F. T. P. O. H., we have to make frequent use of the Library, which certainly comes in handy, because in this Institution the inmates have outside reading for every subject with the excep- tion of gym. and we understand the Preventors of Happiness plan to introduce this into W. H. S. next year. We can't go to the Library unless we first have our Pedigree made out and signed by at least half of the members of the Association. clearly stating why we are going, the time. what we look like, whether we are a Republican or a Democrat, and also what we are going to read. In order to graduate from this glorious institution, we all must take Eng- lish. English not only includes the study of English grammar but also every peculiar thing that has ever been written. It is all called English-no matter who wrote it, or what his nationality, or what it sounds like. One evening a capable student found his Virgil most unusually hard to translate, and, after several hours of diligent study, he gave up in disgust and closed the book. By chance, he happened to glance down at the cover and, to his chagrin, he discovered he had been studying Milton's Comus instead of the fEneid. The inmates quite often forget whether Dickens, Little Willie Shakespeare, Muzzey, Emerson and all the rest of the motley crew were drinkers or not, but, judging from their novels, plays, essays, and poems, they all were as dry as Bill Bryan himself. Of course the greatest means by which our happiness is being suppressed is by the regular courses of study, but there is also Manual Training which the Freshmen are compelled to take. They must spend the best part of the day there, pounding their hands and dirtying their clothes, and in Domestic Science, where the girls very frequently run needles into their fingers and burn their hands. We have never been able to find out for what in college these indus- tries are preparing those who are taking the classical or general course, but we have finally come to the conclusion that this training is a thorough preparation for fraternity initiations. Now, in the basement of this building there is a small room called a gym- nasium. As a gym it would make an excellent Hand Ball court. On the first floor we find locker rooms which would be almost large enough, providing the locks were taken out, to hold the average Virgil class. Through- out the halls are found some most marvellous phenomena, lockless lockers. To be sure, the powers are providing some lockers that will lock, but, the language necessary to open one of them is not usually considered that becoming a Lady or Gentleman. The inmates often wonder just why the members of the Association do not get together to make their plans so that they will not contradict one another. For instance-Miss Beck, the Health Sentinel, insists that we should CContinued on page 1445 58 D VMEELING E Class Roast By Mary Eliza Noyes and Herman Burkhardt Pessimist to Optimist: VVhere's the last place on earth you would like to go? Optimist: Sing Sing! And you? Pessimist: Wheeling High School. ROM the beginning-of time, no doubt, we find a group of people who are always knocking, complaining, and finding fault with everything. Humans belonging to this class are called PESSIMISTS. Well, did you ever stop to think that if these so-called Pessimists hadn't been in existence maybe we wouldn't have almost all of the modern conveniences of today? For instance, maybe we wouldn't have autos, airplanes, streetcars, trains, and roller skates, if some person years and years ago hadn't objected and kicked about walking. When, in the course of human events it becomes necessary and proper, in order to obtain that most joyful of all prizes, an EDUCATION, to graduate from grade school, and enter high school, one feels much the same sensation that a prisoner must feel when he is transferred from the Tombs to Sing Sing. This, we, the class of one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five, after four years of the most disgraceful suffering, hold to be a self-evident truth! The said Institution is under the control and direction of the Associa- tion for the Prevention of Happiness. It is a complex organization having for its head the Principal Suppressor-I. E. CThat isj Ewing, who has for his assistants, The Faculty. The A, F. T. P. O. H. has its headquarters in a most stately building- that is, it is in a state of dilapidation. The seats are only partly there, and it's no wonder, for the load of chewing-gum they are forced to carry is enough to break down the Bastile. The windows, they say, are there but they can seldom be seen, let alone looked through, because of the accumulation of cen- turies of dust. Even the sunshine can't get in to brighten the dreary days. The Cafeteria is another means of bringing distress and unpleasantness to the inmates of this building. This we have to endure for forty-five minutes each day. Have you ever seen our 'lCafe ? Here we are, penned up in what used to be the girls' C1ym. It is very dark and dreary, with the blinds pulled down and nothing to look at but pipes, and dumbwaiters , and nothing to listen to but soup! And here, too, we are forced to help ourselves to ice cream served on hot plates! The Association attains its purpose, the suppression of happiness, by means of additional schemes of torture. The building was evidently built with this end in view, for it contains innumerable series of raised platforms, known in the vernacular as STEPS. Indeed, there has been enough stone wasted in these steps to build a dozen schools, more or less. By the time we reach the third floor we feel as ancient as the building and quite ready to col- lapse. It is not the Seniors alone who experience this means of torture: even the Freshmen are all in by the time they reach Willie Keylor's domain. It seems that ordinarily we do not have quite enough reasons for climb- ing these horrible steps of torture and running down again like squirrels in in a cage, so another device has been discovered by which to exercise our already weary legs and brains-the FIRE DRILL! The l'Boss generally informs us beforehand so that we won't be frightened and can get up all surplus energy in order to be well prepared to clear the building in about five seconds. We 57 X I' ww SQ X! A Jou.Y gwqq., V W BUDDY VIHEBEIS TNE. Rn-ug? EDITOR SEC- Dm sni wokx 2 SMILESQ -, ,, l ' ' ' Gloncne. --ALL Al-ONS. A -rmo fuwe, Sha clones mm X i. f r U I PALS AlN r W2cus'E. . THE PRINCE OF WALES was still leading us, much to our advantage. The officers of our former year had proved so successful that they were again chosen to lead the Class. In preparation for that much longed-for event, the Prom, several parties were given, all of which only added to the glory of the Jolly Juniors. The outstand- ing feature of the entire year was that Junior-Senior Prom which we can always speak of with pride. This was a time filled with joy and sorrow-joy be- cause of the fact that we were soon to become Seniors, but sorrow because of the departure of our friends of '24. Then came the Year of Years. With Mr. Ely still heading the column, fyou see, we can't give him too much praisej, we became fullfledged Seniors. At the beginning of the year, we held our annual election. In view of the fact that a great number of questions of vital interest and importance were to be decided during this time, special thought was given to those who should stand out as Class leaders. Behrens Ulrich, whom we dream of as Chief Executive in this fair country of ours, came quite naturally to the front. Lucian Anderson was, of course, chosen vice-president. Ruth Brown came next in line as secretary, while the entire school hailed a second Andrew Mellon in the choice of John Hein as treasurer. During this year we combined our efforts with the under-classmen in giving a series of dances. Yet no story, however interesting, is complete with- out a climax. The crowning glory of the Class of '25 came in our presentation of the best play ever staged in W. H. S., The Adventures of Lady Ursula. Critics of high renown have acclaimed it as one of the leading dramas of the day. Until this time, no one except ourselves had ever dreamed of such depths of hidden talent as was produced by our heart-breaking, thrill-making cast. Was this the end of our story? No! We must write down in unfading letters the work of our Editor-in-Chief, Ruth Zearott, who with her incom- parable staff, succeeded in putting out an Annual that challenges all those of former years. And now, after this long eventful voyage through the years, we have at last reached the harbor which, through the years, we sought. With a heart full of pleasant memories, we look hack over the perils, the hardships, the thrills, and the exhilarating joys that have at last brought us here. All along the way we have dug deep for treasure and have found it, the most significant symbol of which are the diplomas that we soon shall hold within our hands. 1925 pauses a moment here to think about its past and bid a fond adieu to W. H. S., and then as new horizons appear, it goes bravely onjrealizing that its most important history, which you yourselves must note, is yet to come. I , gi A fi-.+,-. sfs..

Class History By Mary Mott and Ruth Brown ln Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-one. This glorious history had just begun: Just listen. my children, and you shall hear. Of the most wonderful class on this earthly sphere! S WE cast a backward glance upon our four years in this school, we feel quite antiquated. Long ago, in fact 'way back in twenty-one, there came toddling up the street one hundred and seventy-five of the most charming infants that the school officials had ever seen. We grieve to say the upper-classmen did not recognize this fact, so we suffered all the hardships which Freshmen usually undergo. Perhaps you have already realized that I am speaking of the Noble Class of '25, At the beginning of our second year we had so grown that we felt we should organize, Mary Eliza Noyes. due to her clear-sightedness and unchal- lenged position as leader of the class, was chosen President. Our vice-president was George Edwards from whose violin the sweet strains of music crept out upon the air to such an extent that the very class meetings seemed affected by it. Dorothy Englehart, whose ability as secretary and treasurer will doubtless benefit many people in the year to come, was also one of our leaders. How- ever. in all our just pride of the class achievements, we must mention Mr. Ely. who with undaunted courage assumed the preponderous task of sponsorship in our school life and contributed much to our success. No Senior of the present imposing graduating class will ever forget that night on which the iirst class party was held. Bursts of heavenly applause in the form of a heavy rain storm did not lessen the jollity of that memorable evenin , Siill, it was not until the third year of our school life that the genius of the Class was really unfolded to the admiring gaze of the world.

C. E. GITHENS. To each member of the Class of '25: Accept my sincerest congratulations. You have Hnished the course and are now receiving that reward which comes from effort. May the friend- ships you have made, the habits of study, thought and action you have formed, the culture that you have assimilated, the knowledge and training that have been developing your personality, the ideals that have become yours-may all these encourage you to go still further in your education and develop- ment, so that a long life of real service may be yours, and highest honors be given you at its end.

It's the old, old road and the old, old quest Of the cut-throat sons of Cain, South by west and a quarter west, And hey for the Spanish Main There's a haven somewhere where the quiet of the bay Is troubled with the shifting tide, Where the gulls are flying, crying in the bright white spray And the tan-sailed schooners ride. The toppling rollers at the harbour mouth Are spattering the bows with foam, And the anchor's catted, and she's heading for the south With her topsails sheeted home. E L G The Old Gold and Blue We'll sing together, lifting up our voices While we are singing for old Wheeling High: Its colors we see, and each heart rejoices: Its colors we'll e'er keep nigh. Wave, grandly wave, Old Gold and Blue, forever! True are the boys, and so the girls are too. Love and our honor from thee never sever. Faithful to the Old Gold and Blue. It's the Old Gold and Blue that we love, It's the Old Gold and Blue that makes us cheer lt's the Old Gold and Blue that we'll e'er love, If we are far or if we're near: May they wave above forever, And it's to them we'll be true: We'll give three hearty cheers, then, For thee, Old Gold and Blue!

CHORUS: lt's Wheeling High School! lt's Wheeling High School! The one that leads them far and near. Come on ye, old grads: join with us, young lads: It's Wheeling High School now we cheer!

BUCKHANNONI CH1CAoo! Much interest is taken in athletics, of course, but many people do not realize that the ambitious members of this department co-operate in developing not only athletes but a school full of healthy students. Didn't Miss Beck, most capable of nurses, with the assistance of the Manual Training Department, design a sanitary, individual pill box which has proved a great labor-saving device? Doesn't she lecture on hygiene and care of the sick until all the girls are capable nurses themselves. and doesn't she stand ready to give Hrst aid in all emergencies, besides lending a sympathetic ear to all who have real or fancied ailments? She conducts the nurse's room with its weight charts, medicine chests, and rest room efliciently and well, so that it is indispensable to the school's well-being. The unequalled coaches, Miss Klein Cgirls' basketballj and Mr. Stobbs Cfootball, basketball, baseballl, are most famous for their training of the championship teams that strike awe and terror into the hearts of all contest- ants, but they also deserve much credit for raising the health standard of the whole school by their hygiene lectures and their excellent training in gymnasium work. The school welcomes Mr. Glenn H. Dowling, the new Physical Director, who, besides managing all school athletics, coaches Track. ,jim A ff.. Y .. ' A CORNER OF THE VV. H. S.

THE cry has arisen 'Agive us trade schoolsf Anyone whose curiosity is aroused by the hum and buzz from the lower regions of the High School may there find many boys busily engaged in learning the following sub- jects: Mechanical Drawing, Wood Turning, Cabinet Making. Forging. Sheet Metal. Applied Electricity, Pottery and Design, and Machine Shop work. Few people realize the steps the school has taken with its installation of such fine equipment and the organization of a capable faculty of instruction-to make this the most practical course offered in High School. 'This Department trains the hands as well as the mind and here the boys find their real vocation in life. or learn practical methods of repair work, advanced electric work, original design, and construction that will benefit them in any life work they may follow. 18 vwinstzme U The Cafeteria THIS ,popular place was exactly one year old December ll, and Wheeling High School celebrated the anniversary with a birthday cake on which there was one little pink candle. We know, however, that some day we will need three or four cakes to hold all of the candles which represent the Cafeteria's successful years. The Cafeteria, situated on the first floor in what used to be the girls' gym- nasium, serves its cheap, healthful, delicious food during three periods: 11:15 to l2:00: 12:00 to 12:45, 12:45 to 1:30. Here the students may either buy their meals or eat the lunches they have brought from home. Unlike most Cafeterias, this one has an air of gaity, for it possesses many pleasant features. We are indeed grateful to the Scottish Rite Cathedral for lending us a motion picture machine which enables us twice a week to have moving pictures, either interesting news reels or funny comedies. We are indebted to the Rex and Plaza theaters for the Fox News reels which always are interesting, and to St. Luke's Church for the Krazy Kat comedies which send the audience into gales of laughter. To add to the general happiness, our Cafeteria Orchestra has several times furnished the music while we eat, by spiritedly playing the latest dance tunes. In addition to these diversions, we may turn to the magazine shelf which contains the latest newspapers, popular magazines, and many exchange papers from other schools and colleges. The Cafeteria is, in truth, like a pleasant club room which we enjoy visiting as a Welcome change from class schedules. The Spanish Club is taking an active interest in the Cafeteria, and every day, the appetizing menus appear in Spanish as well as English. We all expect soon to be able to speak the Spanish lan- guage, thanks to El Circulo Castellano. Capably managed and brought to its present successful position by Miss Martha Ross and her loyal assistants, our Cafeteria is one to be proud of, and we hope that it will always be as successful as it is now. Miss Ross is head of the W. H. S. Home Economics Department, and one of the foremost dietitians of the state.

Ross, Supervisor Economics me HOUSIQHOLD ARTS DFPARTMFNT develops the student along one of the most important lines of work-that of home-making. Displays have been given at the State Fair which have taken prizes for their superiority. The general aim of the department is to develop capable and satisfied house- wives, satisfied because they understand how to manage the Hnances of a home, and how to find real joy in their home-keeping tasks. The student of this department, under the excellent instruction of five women vitally interested in the work, understand household manage- ment, how to keep a budget, plan the meals with full regard to a well-balanced, nourishing diet, how to decorate a home economically and artistically, how to make their own clothes and dress becomingly. How much have I to spend? asks the student and thereupon proceeds to get the most from her money. Such training is invaluable, for it concerns the fundamentals of life and helps one to realize the truth that all things should be done as efliciently and beauti- fully as possible. llOl'SlfHOl.D ARTS Bl'Il.lJlNG lu which are taught Home Plzuining, Dietetics, Cooking, Sewing and Designing.

THE ACADEMIC COURSE prepares the student not only for college, but also forms an indispensable foundation for the people who make the greatest successes in life in any trade or profession. A knowledge of history, science, the higher mathematics, classical and modern languages is valuable in any walk of life, and today, even the advocates of a purely commercial course realize the necessity of the students being trained in these academic subjects. The Faculty of this progressive department is composed of twenty-four college graduates, who are living exponents of the fact that knowledge acquired for its own sake brings real happiness, and they find delight in teaching the subjects that not only contribute highly to the wage-earning power of any individual but also provide that individual with a breadth of view, a soundness of judgment, and a depth of appreciation that enables him to spend wisely his leisure hours.

THE VJHEELING HIGH SCHOOL COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT ranks among the Hrst of its kind in the State of West Virginia. The growth of this department testifies to its great and well-deserved popularity. There is a constant demand for graduates to fill responsible positions, and it is no small wonder, considering the well-grounded knowledge that Wheeling High School students receive in accounting, salesmanship, and secretarial courses fbased upon a common foundation of bookkeeping, shorthand, and typewriting first studied in the early yearsH that business men are looking more and more frequently to this school to find competent assistants. A graduate of this depart- ment is capable of earning his living after leaving High School, and if he has been diligent, he need offer no apologies for the kind of work he does, for no more expert instructors than those who manage this curriculum Cwhich includes all modern commercial subjectsj can be found anywhere. 15 Mrs. Edwinl M.
