IQECUIQD I WE IIDEAIY FDD IQQIQ We, the editors of The Record speak for the class of 1939-a group of young people who for l7 or 18 years have had the privilege of growing up in a democracy and are so grateful for that privilege that they wish to offer their se- nior class book as proof-if proof is nec- essary-of what student life is like in a democracy-happy, carefree, guided by kind, understanding teachers who have been good friends and advisers. Our forebears came from 18 countries-a few from as far back as 1620, many more in the last half century. Yet-We're Americans all! Look over our pages. Let our little book speak for all student life in America-the country of the free and unoppressed. 1939 Anxious for Assembly?

Although termed greenies its members led the honor roll of the school for two six Weeks' periods, placing 40 on the list of honor students. The class had no organization, yet it was outstanding in both inter-class athletics and social activi- ties. EI2lf'l HAT If DIE l936-37 Pls sophomores, the class of 1939 chose beauteous and smart Martha Stewart as president. In this second year, the class distinguished itself by leading the school With top scholastic honors and by the presentation of several novelty dances. Y 1937-38 Holding the annual junior- senior prom was the great- est event for the class of '39 as juniors, headed by small but very brilliant Henry Schrebe. During the year members won honors in the Helds of journalism, club activities, scholarship. and student government. The junior girls were crowned inter-class basket- ball champs and the junior class figured prominently in helping make Student Day a success. N H CHU L One ofthe novel dances of the year was given by the junior class. In conjunction with the basketball dance, the Junior Hop was held in the school gymnasium with the Blues Rhythm orchestra playing for the dancing. Besides participating in social events, the juniors had to work diligently to finance the prom. Junior girls sold candy at basketball games, and many other ac- tivities Were launched to help build up the prom fund. DECUDD 1938-39 The senior class, under pretty, energetic, popular Betty Banta, held a distinct honor in being the largest class in the history of Wheeling high school, with 275 students. Highlights of the year were the presen- tation of the senior musical comedy, under the direction of Miss Bertha Marie Dwinnell, the inauguration of one of the WHS's great-A est student governments, the recognition of the school paper in the state HEIQE I WHAT DID contest and the organization of Wheeling high's Debate Club by a group of senior boys. Individual honors were handed Eleanore Gilmore as state reporter of the Home Economics Club, Eleanor Lude- wig as state president of Home Economics Club, Caroline Nestmann, who had the highest average among Wheeling high's senior enrollment of 275 students, and Betty Banta as Wheeling High Schools Best Citizen. All these made this year the greatest in the high school career of the class of 1939. SENIOR CLASS POEM By Helen Chapman We have spennt our childhood Among the lofty peaks of a democracy. The symbol df the Winged eagle Has guided lour stumbling, childish feet throughkwisted paths. Freedom i Has given life+not death to our adventurous youth. y Now we begin to carve a future. We hew that future In the pure marble of opportunity, in granite of hope and of faith. A We inscribe alfuture ambition. Still the firm grip of democracy guides the un- skilled bland, And We are happy. We are happy: Oppression shall not visit us. We are happyg Our children Will walk the paths That We have made, In the wake qf the Winged eagle. 1939 l r l f' -15' ' ig it 3, , .ng - ,, ff.

' --it Q xx Westfall A brilliant player, co-captain Bob Westfall, Wheeling's elusive little running and passing back, helped bring glory to the grid squad by his outstanding performances in the Lin- sly and Martins Ferry games. Westy is not much in stature, but he makes it up in aggressiveness, good sportsmanship, and athletic ability. Nightengale Don Nightengale, veteran center and co-captain of the squad of '38, was one of the mainstays of this year's outstanding team. Illness in the lat- ter part of the gridiron season forced Captain Nightengale to Withdraw from active service, but he could al- ways be seen on the bench, rooting for the more fortunate members of the pigskin squad. CARRIERS OF THE PIGSKIN. . First row left to right: Manager J. Sonneborn, Saseen, C1 lligan, Williams, Roe, M. Sonneborn, Nightengale, Zubel, Saleeba, Mehen, Huffman, Westfall, Manager Wickham.

Third row: Schultz, Pearl, Winkler, Richards, Shul. Mar:hlenski. Weith. N. Thomas, Osmiamski, V. Yoho, Knabe, Elias. Duff, Sauders, Schoenian, Blujay. Murry, Riffle, Keppel. Although handicapped by inexperienced players, and crippled through loss of team members by graduation. the Brinkmen of 1938 chalked up an enviable record for sportsmanship and clean football. Such performances as Westfall's bril- liant passing in the Parkersburg and Linsly games, Huffman's beautiful line-bucking, and John C1illigan's splendid work both in defense and making interference for the ball carriers, gave the fans thrills that they will not soon for- get. Nightengale. center and co-captain. was men- tioned on the All-Valley team, after copping honors for unusual football ability during the short time he was able to play. At the annual football banquet, held at the Second Presbyterian Church on December 3, 22 members of the grid squad were awarded let- ters. Dr. O. M. Staats and Charles Seabright. staunch and true friend of Wheeling-made football aggregations for many years. were pre- sented with honorary letters. All in all, it was a good season, and we point with pride to our grid stars of 1938. THEY GOVERN OUR STUDENTS.. John Coury Student Council Cabinet Inaugurating one of the greatest years of student council in Wheeling High School, president John Coury, ably assisted by his cabinet, organized an eflicient and smooth-running student council. Delegates from student council at- tended a state convention on October 4 at Jacksons Mill, and others visi- ted schools in Pittsburgh, so that they might learn methods of improving our own form of student govern- ment. Both socially and scholastically, this year's council proved itself worthy of the trust placed in it by students, faculty and administration. - OFFICIALS AND CABINET OF THE G. R. . . Eleanor Ludewig Girl Reserve Cabinet The Girl Reserves, headed by Eleanor Ludewig as president, made the year an enjoyable one throughout the school term with a full schedule of style shows, dances, fudge parties, hikes, picnics, sports tournaments, glee club presentations, and unique club programs. The GR Cabinet above. composed of l3 lassies, sponsored an apple and potato day on November 22, for the aid of needy families. Miss Virginia Schiiiier and Miss Jeannette Pryor were sponsors, SHE LED THE SENIORS Betty Banta HE LED THE HI-Y's. .

Wheeling Delegation Marching Down High Street Swinging away from High Street, Morgantown, are dele- gates from Wheeling, including Principal I. E. Ewing and John Coury. Cinders, excitement, wat:r pistols, and impressive ceremonies, character- ized the semi-annual football excur- sion to Morgantown, for the yearly Red and Blue-Gold and Blue grid classic. Yes, Wheeling lost the game, but the bitterness of defeat could not eclipse the happiness and good-will of Gold fans on the trip made possible by the Wheeling Boosters' Club. All who attended the game will never forget the hospitality and friendly welcome extended them by the Mor- gantown citizenry. The excursion will long be one of our most cherished memories. OUR GAYLY-UNIFORMED MARC!-IING BAND... . ,J -F was Through the efforts of the Band Mothers, the WHS band secured this year striking new uniforms of gold and blue with touches of crimson. The band's superior playing and marching, together with its appear- ance and the baton-twirling of drum majors Eleanor Wright and Frosh Carolyn Lough makes our band one of the best in the state. Nor was the band satisfied with or-- dinary songs. Members arranged their own interpretations of such modern songs as Alexander's Ragtime Band Ti-Pi-Ti-Pi-Tin, and A Tisket a Tasketf' On the Held the band's Big Apple dancers made merry with these songs. Wheeling's other musical organiza- tions are the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs under the direction of able Miss McGranahan. The girls' club whose president was Norma Collet, was one of the best we have ever had. Norma Collett THESE GIRLS PLAY THE GAME. . . Girls' Athletics had a big year in l938-39, when the G, A. G spon- sored tournaments of all descriptions. Winnie lVlcGutcheon, GAG president, was one of the best of the girl ath- letes. During the year, student leaders were chosen from the G. A. G. ranks by Miss Steinbicker and were coached to teach classes and referee ball games. At the end of the year, the club held a banquet which was their most ima portant social event of the season. Winnie McCutcheon The Senior Volleyball team became inter-class champs after an exciting game held on Tuesday, January 20. After matching wits and ability with the sophs, the senior team consisting of Jane Joyce, Betty Banta, Winnie lVlcGutcheon, Hazel Jepson, Ellen Nolte, and Betty Joyce were crowned school champions. COURT HEROES OF '39 Wheeling High's Basketball Squad, Coaches Brinkman and Kraus A brilliant assemblage of basketball stars composed this year's fine team. Dick Mehen, rangy wonder, won state and local recognition. ln a thrilling display of speed, endurance, and in- telligence, Nlehen proved himself .1 great court star. as did Louis Beihl and Chester Bucon. An unexpected upset in Morgantown, in the team's Hrsr down-sate trip, broke a perfect record of 32 straight wins since the season of 1937. An- other unexpected upset in the district tourney deprived the team of its chance for state honors. However, Wheeling's loyal fans and backers have their own ideas as to which team is the state's Hnest, and always support the Gold and Blue. Proof that the Wheeling team is tops is shown by the fact the two Wlieeling men, lVlehen and Biehl, were selected to all-state berths. It was another great year for Wlieel- ing basketeers, and another mark on the bulletin board of outstanding achievernenis for WHS.

John Gilligan smashed a four-year pole-vaulting record when he topped the bars at ll feet, 4M inches. fx 24.1 low hurdle record, set an all- time high in local athletic circles when Bob Westfall bettered the time set by Chuck Dornon, Wheeling ace of years past. Besides these achievements, Wheel- ing's best miler, Mary Flannery, easily won the mile race, and barely missed setting a new record by seconds. Wheeling nosed out Bellaire in the annual competition after suffering de- feat at the hands of that school at the opening of the season. l Gene Britt, capturing honors at the sectional track meet. RECORD BREAKING MERMEN . . . West Virinia State Champions The Wheeling swimming champs def fended their title in the opening match against Central Caiholic in which they literally swamped the Central lads. ln the OVAA meet, the Wheeling ites suffered their first defeat of the year, placing second to the Triadel- phians. Vincent Yoho took first honors as a fancy diver in every meet in which he was entered. E. Trissler, breast- stroke ace, was top in his class after smashing the OVAA record to bits, and members of the Gold medley re- lay team proved themselves excellent team mates after taking the field and breaking a long-standing record. Thirteen members of the swim squad received letters. This number includes two seniors: Paul Crago, Richard Sampson. A strong addition to the mermen was Sampson, transfer from Los Angeles, who proved his merit by gaining rec- ognition for his powerful back- stroke. Traveling to New Concord state teachers college at Athens, W. Va.. the Wheeling high mermen spread eagled the field, winning 56M points to Beavers 17M and were acclaimed first state swimming champions of West Virginia. Winners and holder of state records are Capt. Paul Crago, 220 free-style: Elmer Trissler, 50 yd. breast-strokeg Joy Moss, 50 yd. free-style, and the medley relay team composed of Rich- ard Sampson, Elmer Trissler and Fred Wolfe: and the ZOO yard relay of P.

President Mary Belle Loudenslager and Vice President Mary K. von Berg arrange the rides, and the girls insist that they are as good as Paul Revere. THE PRINCIPAIXS CORNER BY I. E. Ewing The Principals Corner must of necessity be a rather sad one this issue, Personally, and as an organization there has been a real loss in our school family. The genial personality of our teacher of mathematics, Mr. Patterson, will be missing from faculty meetings, assembly, class Pat, as his best friends affectionately his subject, and tried to develop the analytic room and hall. The sympathy of all of us is ex- tended to Mrs. Patterson, f'or he will be missed in the home, perhaps most of all, It is diiicult to express adequately our appre- ciation of this gentleman, who was likable and human first of all. He was best known for his mathematical ability and genuine interest in every- thing pertaining to this subject. To work out mathematical puzzles of all kinds was his delight. Almost everyone knew from the samples he dis- tributed that he had stored up a vast fund of stories and jokes to illustrate his points, and to give added color to his own interesting personal ex- periences. His teaching years were long and varied. From 1892-1900 he spent most of his time in rural schools of Harrison and Monroe counties in Ohio. Later he taught in the states of Nebraska, Kansas, and Washington. For the past 18 years he has been in Wheeling High. called him occasionally, thoroughly enjoyed teaching attitude on the part of his students, especially those in his advanced classes. The positive proof and the facts rather than a clever guess was the idea he kept before his youthful learners. We shall have other additions to our f'aculty, but none can ever quite replace him, We'll not forget his lifted eyebrows, his that reminds me, his suspenders, the characteristic guesturel of greeting, the twinkle in his eye, and the shrewd comments and observations in his talk. We shall surely, miss all of these, but more than everything else, we'll miss you, Mr. Patterson. I. E. EWING. Presented above is Principal I. E. Ewing's tribute to A. J. Patterson, beloved mathematics instructor, who died March 1, of this year. The arti- cle was considered one of the best in the 1938-39 Record and was worthy of reprinting in the yearbook. 'iThe Principal's Corner is a new feature of The Record this year and is written by Mr. Ewing for the bene- lit of students and parents. Since its appearance, it has become a popular column of the school paper. 39 COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS . . Selected for their scholastic achievements during the last two years of school careers, Caroline Nestmann, Bettie Ward Boyce, and Pauline Gilbert were the honor speakers at the gradua- tion exercises of the class of '39. The three honor speakers had scholastic averages ranging be- tween 96 and 97 per cent. Throughout their school life these girls have been outstand- ing-winning Stifel prizes each year and taking part in all school activities, besides. Caroline is district head of the panhan- dle's Young People's organiza- tion of the Baptist Church: Bet- tie Ward and Pauline have been active leaders in all school activi- ties. DRAMA STALKS THE SEMINARY . . Gloria Panico i Appropriately named, 'lWheeling High's first lady of art, Roma Schrei- ber, has become invaluable to the enf tire student body through her oblig- ing manner and her artistic ability. The beautiful, artistic posters you have seen adorning the hall windows, and the art work in The Record, are all examples of Roma's Work. Be- sides assisting Miss Eleanor Rosen- berg in her design classes, Roma found time for every demand for posters from clubs and other organizations. We nominate Roma Schreiber as the class's best scout, hardest, and most willing Worker. The unexpected actions of a myse- terious butler, the unintentional mix- up between a janitor and a professor. and the antics of a typical old maid, combined to make Marry- ing Marian, the senior class musical comedy, one of the most entertaining dramatic efforts of the year. The main role of Marian, popular sfminazy student, was enacted by Clc-ria Panico, who gave an excellent portrayal of that role. Playing oppof rite her in the role of a professor wax Jack Krueger. Other leads were capably portrayed by Marian Acker, Marian Buzzard, William Kreuger, Russell Riggs, and Norma Collett. Many seniors were in the choruses and specialties. lt was a fine cast and a superb play-all under the efficient direction of Miss Bertha Marie Dwin- nell.
