'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,-.

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.

TO BE ENDED DEC. 1 Stands To Cost 345,000 and Will Seat 500 More Students Remodeling work on the boys' gym at the cost of 345,000 which will permit the seating of five hundred more basketball fans is expected to be completed De- cember 1, in time for the opening of the basketball season. As Woodward's basketball teams are supported well and aleading squad is usually produced, this addition is considered a neces- sity. Under the new seats a recre- ation room and storage room for the print shop are to be built. On the first floor a storage room, hospital, emergency room, nurses room, boys' examination room, and hand ball courts are to be added. The construction work, which is a W.P.A. project, is not ex- pected to interfere with either the boys' or girls' gym classes, since the early fall classes are held out of doors, and very little construction work is to be done in the gym proper. Bears Guests Of Cowboys In Football Season Opener Starting against Libbey on September 25, Woodward will play an eight game grid schedule.

TEACHERS TRAVEL, OUT FOR FOOTBALL Coach Art Smith Assisted By Gilbert Harre, Dick Davis Opening sessions of football practice under .the direction of Coaches Art Smith, Dave McMur- ray and Homer Hanham, found 43 boys out for various positions. After receiving equipment from Managers Whitey Hood and Kenny Walker on Monday, the boys began work on September 1. Linemen found Gil Harre, former All-City tackle from Woodward and All-American from O.S.U., an invaluable source of informa- tion while Dick Davis, star back- field man of two years ago, helped with the prospective backs. Three and a half days of inten- sive work preceded the squads lining up for the first scrimmage. In the struggle between the first two squads the competition was so tight that but three points were made, these on a place kick by Johnny Golembiewski. Both teams scored touch-down against the third string. After Friday there was a lay off until the first day of school. . The aspiring gridders are Lind, Bishop, Lumley, Davis, Nareski, Mizelle, Donaldson, Bialorucki, Klocko, David, Navarre, Anello, Barbara, Boykin, Nowak, Kuzma, Wolfinger, Parker, Gosciniak, J ankowski, Radecki, Greenwood, Shuff, Lacey, Haffelder, Balish, Klosowski, Golembiewskl, Wenz, Hodge, Turrittin, Krell, Stack, Pelczarski, Zaremba, Stoykoif, Wichowski, Hoskins, Banasiak, Kazmierczak, Henzler, Szelagow- sik, and Wasikowski.

Tattler Announces Policies, Requests Cooperation TODAY all literate Woodward students are reading the first edition of the Tattler containing only one sheet and issued free. Next week the regular four page issue will be published and sold at the lowest price possible, one cent.

Each week the Tattler will reg- ularly roll off the presses contain- ing varied copy from lighthumor I thereby furnishing Woodward news for every student. By presenting Woodward news as fair as it can, the Tattler will be the voice ofthe people. Walking Woodward's halls, one is struck by the friendliness exhibited everywhere. Every- body smiles and says hello to everyone else as if they really meant it. p No matter how much the stud- ents may have fumed or blustered before school we feel certain that deep down in they reallv are glad BECOME FARMERS West Visited By Trio, Miller Studies In Michigan, Two Farm The wi.d wooly, wide open' spaces beckoned this summer to a trio of Woodward instructors, Miss Laura Adams, Miss Louise Tippett, and Miss Rozella Wood- rich, who journeyed westward on a 10,000 mile trip in Miss Tip- pett's car. They visited the Red- wood highway, Petrified forest, Glacier park, and a real, honest- to-goodness rodeo. Miss Amie Miller spent her summer studying at Ann Arbor, traveling through Canada where she visited the famous Quints, and climbed the Adirondack mountains in eastern United States.
