Due credit must be given them for the courage and procedure they have taken in this Work. The first marked feature is the very unusu- al cover, the first of its kind to be used in our school. There is always a feeling that people tire ofold styles, the change was made to give the students something different, something better, and something more appealing than that used in previous years. Instead of arranging the senior pictures organizations, classes, and activities in front of the book and the Tattlers in the back, the book has been divided into three sections corresponding with the seasons that school is in session. The main purpose was to break the monotony of grouping all the Tattlers to- gether. More pictures have also been added repre- senting the different activities of the school. Individual pictures of every student have been used in place of groups. Gale Weaner, editor-in-chief, with his helpful staff has much to be complimented for. Others working with him are Richard Shumaker and Michael Jakcsy, assistant and junior assistant editors, respectively, Jess Mininger,business managerg Chester Zytkus, junior assistant business managerg and Alice Frankowski, circulation manager. ' Other staff members are: Martha sports editor, with Ernest Swan assist bookkeeperg Ruth Wegener and Zebalee gattfet agtajff 4'iD45D Q-Q 'f29 OODWARD may well compliment herself on having a fine news- paper staff and school paper, the Tattler. The paper is a most welcome feature to almost every student and faculty member at Woodward. Praise should be given to the staff for its efforts in publishing the Tattler', every week. Woodward is one of the two high schools in the city fortunate in having the printing done in school. This year the staff has undertaken a larger task. It has changed its dress from ten point type, which has been used for many years, to eight point type. This requires more work for the staff, as one-third more material is needed to fill the pages. The staff consists of Aaron Novick, editor- in-chiefg Doris Shortt and William Loerke, assistant editors, Edward Shapiro, business managerg Martha Murzynski and Virginia Ignatowicz, news editorsg Theresa Lipper and Norma Jean Allen, feature editors, and Robert Shuff and Lulu Belle Holbrook, boys' and girls' sports editors respectively.

QS' A .ff 1.-fi, tif' if ,fy ,YZ ,Z ,ff PURRED on by the achievements and knowledge acquired in their first year, the pupils advanced astep and were called Sophomores. They were no longer considered the inferior class but could look down upon the wide-eyed students who had taken their places. The course was a little easier and the surroundings more pleasant. Acquaintances from the year before were renewed and more friendships were made. As Sophomores they assumed aresponsibility-that of organizing and electing class officers. For the first time in the history of the class, the Sophomores are headed by a girl. Capable in guiding the class through the year is June Martin, class president. Her ever ready assistants are Fred Saba, vice presidentg Evelyn Moore, secretary, Lorraine Barnes, treasurerg Helen Trautrnan, reporterg and James Brubaker, sergeant-at-arms. The executive committee consists of Esther Urbanski, Robert Smith, and Kathryn Braunschweiger. Why The Chimes Rang, the first activity of the class, was given by the members of the Play Shop. It was presented to the Mothers' club on December 16, and to the faculty and student body on December 20. One of the most colorful dances of the year was the Sophomore dance, April Rhythm, held April 9, in the Woodward ballroom. Decorations corresponded with the name. On March 11, the two Sophomore one-act plays, The Real Gloria and the Ideal Spotf' were presented. The class owes much of its development and success as a group to Miss Grace Cronk and Clyde Meek, class deans.

'ENGLISH TEACHERS ADDED TO FACULTY Two New Office Girls Placed On Staff, Teacher Married The new fall term brings changes in the English depart- ment and one new oflice girl to Woodward. Miss Catherine D. Brown, teacher of Spring Junior high school last year, will teach Eng- lish I. Miss Brown replaces Miss Francis Sivers who was trans- ferred to Libbey. Dave Weisberg, former Wood- ward student, will conduct classes in English I and commer- cial work, having two junior busi- ness training classes. Obtaining permission to teach English, Miss Betty Nelson will have classes in English I besides three classes of business Eng- lish. Replacing Miss Barbara Smith, office girl, is Miss Betty Perkins who will have charge of attend- ance. Miss Isabelle LaRue is at pres- ent assisting with the office work. Added to our list of our newly married teachers, is Miss Doro- thy Bardo, English teacher, who now will be addressed as Mrs. Matheny. Pupils Allowed Two Clubs One Major Cabinet Office Following the new club sched- ule, students will be allowed to join not more than two clubs of their own choosing and may hold only one major office. The Student Council will not be included as a club and only the editor and business manager of the Sa a and Tattler respec- tively will not be eligible for an- other office. To enable more pupils to enter into the school activities and gain experience in club work is the main purpose of this change. Painters Absorbed In Job Cover Art Dept's Murals Smells of the paint and plaster used to improve Woodward's walls brought smiles of apprecia- tion to teachers' faces---that is, all but one. While praises rained upon the paint jobs in other rooms, Miss June Anderson looked upon her walls with dis- may, thinking dark and doleful thoughts. The painters had com- pletely and effectively covered the Polish murals which bord- ered her room. As a result, the pictures which had gained pres- tige in school will no longer at- tract and hold the attention of admiring mms. . . R. K. SHELINE NAMES WEANER SAGA HEAD Shumaker Made Assistant,-.

Right now you can ad- dress my mail to the Ford V-87 and as yours truly gasped unbe- lievingly she hastened to explain that until she finds the apart- ment for which she is looking, she has all her belongings packed into her new car and it is, figur- atively speaking, her present home.
