The Tattler wishes to express sym- pathy of its staff and the entire school body to Mary Rovito, fresh- man, on the death of her mother. Are We With Them? URING the coming football season, Woodward's Polar Bears will have certain serious obstacles to overcome. Not the least among them will be the playing of all their contests on a foreign gridiron. Will loyal Woodwardites give their team the backing it deserves even if they have to go to Scott's field to do it? We think they will. A General Tread URELY, everyone has noticed the paint- ing and repairing of the building. The boys' gym, too, is undergoing a change. These improvements should serve as the basis of a new enthusiasm in the mind of every student. Each pupil should begin a project of his own, the Tattler suggests renewing a school spirit which might have been frayed by these long, hot days in summer. No'w, at the beginning of the term, is the time for every Woodwardite to Spledge his best. Bargains In Fun HREE years ago Woodward students were offered an activities ticket which enabled pupils to attend all major school activities at a great saving. This pass in- sured a large backing for all functions. For the Past two years, this plan has been a success. Thls year Clyde Meek, athletic director, states that twenty-one events will be in- cluded 1n the ticket. By means of a well- Pla-Dfled tlme payment plan, the amount of money required for each payment has been. reduced below the luxury level. With the thought in our minds that we're only in high school once, this year . . . . . . t PRINCIPAL POINTS By C. C. LaRue REETINGS to the Freshmen of 1936 and the Seniors of 1940. Over six hun- dred strong you are entering one of the mo-st interesting phases of your life. The United States Department of Educa- tion through its commissioner says that only four of ten will graduate from high school. In the past our average has been a little high- er. We trust that you as a class will increase that quota still more. We hope you have entered high school with the determination to get an education. This will better your condition, the condition of your city and the nation. In spite of what uninformed and unthinking people may tell you, the progress of the world depends upon iaducation. Get all you can before it is too ate. Fresh Frolicking Frosh With the European warfare and Woodward knock-knocking, the freshmen probably think there's a war going on here. Using bean- shooters as weapons and teachers as targets, they might start a real commotion, so in order to keep peace and contentment in the old homestead, we'll explain that it's only the Works Progress Administration. John Sackrnan wants to know what study halls are for. will some kind teacher tell him the big secret? Katherine Sherman, a shy little miss, was so bewildered the first day that she lost her way in the cafeteria and couldn't find her way out. Buddy Berdue, with the reputation of being one of the noisiest freshies at Wood- ward, is acquiring the distinction ofbeing one of the craziest, too. Frisky, flitty, freshy, freshmen, thus begin theig trials, tears, and happy years at Wood- war . Round and Round Service with a smile, says Betty Greiner when Alice Shasteen, Catherine Hosanna, and Bonnie Jean Zirwes pile a foot-high stack of books on her in the north-end school bus--- Old flames burn anew when last year's sen- iors return to Alma Mater to see the gym addition project foh yeah?l Norm Zimmerman accidently ran across Lillian Barabasz, and Jack Hartwig happened on Evelyn Laytart in his meandering. Then there's Chuck', Jas- tremski who's been seen with that Cherry girl---Andrew Skaff, freshie, who has decided to get all A's, is already breathlessly await- ing the first dance---Wayne Dunn, Vocational's former lady-killer, has already been practis- ing panther-eyes on our pretty misses, and hets a senior too, so you lovesick boys better watch your femmes. Double Trouble If you see E. L. Clark, guidance director at Woodward, chewing paper schedules don't be alarmed. His is the job of settling 40 Vo- cational high freshies into our already over- flowing freshman ranks. Also there is his twin problem---not two problems---just one problem about two. Last year, Mr. Clark matched the schedules of all twins, but before long most of them asked to be changedg so this year he did just opposite. Then a set of twins who have been together through all their school years, re- quested identical schedules. Mr. Clark asks wearilykfls it any wonder Among 0ur Friends Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and sen' iors lend me your eyes. Nine years or more ago the Tattler started exchanging news- papers with schools all over the United States. Following this precedent we will insert bits of interesting news items and humor gleaned from the columns of the thirty-five high school papers received here. Thirteen high schools contributed to the mathematical exhibit at the University of Wisconsin last May. On exhibit were plan- meters, telescopes, slide rules,and the value of pi computed to 705 places. The Craftsman, Boys' Technical high school, Milwaukee, Wis. Ti-, i Advice fo' Chillun 1. Don't let any seniors fool you. Those holes covered with venetian blinds that you see in every room aren't ventilators at all, but tunnels from the cages where Woodward polar bears are kept. 2. You will be reported to the Student Court if you become known as a crack- stepper-over, so watch it while pounding the corridor tiles. 3. In case of fire, the safest place is in your own locker. 4. To save time in going from iioor to floor, don't hesitate to make use of the elevator located across from the office. 5. School begins at 8:30 A. M. There are still some freshmen who don't know. 6. During rainy weather, students are re- quired to enter through the courts to elim- inate slippery stairs. The autogyro is both efficient and economical for this purpose. 7. Home work in most schools is consid- ered a waste of time and Woodward is no exception. 8. Seat numbers in the auditorium are to be used as a guide for bicycle parking. The eighty-five kiddies who ride veloci- pedes can procure licences and parking assignments from the stationer's desk any time before November 31. Fantastik Fakts Just think what the proposed blocking off of the east corridor will mean to you in shoe leather! It normally takes 196 steps to negotiate the distance between the doors at extreme ends of that hall. Now it will require 266 steps if you go around via the west corridor, or 244 if you traverse that hall on the second floor by using the stair- way. Now re-adjust brain and absorb---there are 76 tables in the cafeteria, each table top 125 sq. ft. An average person uses a space of 1 sq. in. in which to write his name. The table top also contains 1800 sq. inches. It takes an average person 4 seconds to write his name. Taking all this into con- sideration it would take exactly 50 weeks, 3M days, or 1 school year, 10 weeks ISM days to cover each table top with 1800 signatures. To top that off, if Pop Raymond caught you he'd make you clean it up with your tongue which would take 5 times as long, so if you have any such ambitions you may as well take several post-graduate courses in advance. Another interesting statistic was furnish- ed by Tony Anello and Ed Pelczardki who counted!! fyou heard mel the blocks in the floors of our halls. There are exactly 122,852

Other officers include Earl Balsmeyer, vice-president and Joe Francis, secretary-treasurer. Remaining c h a i r m e n and members of the committees will be chosen after the freshmen election which will be held next week. At that time petitions may be procured from Frank Duven- dack in room 319. For the past week a temporary hall patrol has been on duty on all three floors. Meeting Set In Preparation For Educational Conference In preparation for the Pro- gressive Education regional con- ference to be held in Toledo November 20 and 21, a prelimin- ary meeting of explanation is scheduled for next Tuesday at the Toledo Museum of Art. Frederick L. Redefer, execu- tiveisecretary of the Progressive Education Association of New York, will speak at 3:30 P.M. on the subject, 'iWhat is Progressive Education? Anyone interested in education and especially teachers, whether they are members of the associa- tion or not, are invited to attend. Numerous Reasons Offered By Pupils For Taking French Questioning her first year stu' dents as to why they are taking French, Miss Adrienne Curtis discovered that the foremost eason was because of college redits. A close second to the leading eason was the love of art and he pupil's acquaintances in the rench department. Only a few elected this language because f their interest in French or heir desire to travel, that is raveling with books and imagi- ation. 1 GLEE CLUB ELECTS HIRZEL PRESIDENT 71 To Sing With Groupg Dan Kryzaniak To Lead Ba1 Qin A The Glee club has as its enroll- ment 71 members to start off the new term. To be able to begin work immediately, they have elected their officers as follows: president, Marie Hirzelg vice president, Richard Baderg secre- tary, Gertrude Schafer, and treas- urer, Violet Sheckler. Other offi- cers are publicity, Harry Parker and Laura Narewskig property managers, Zygmond Kaszmarek and Charlotte Kenyong and stage manager, Chester Pawlee. Clarence Ball announced that two operettas will be given this year besides preparing for the main event, the May Festival. As the first production, a comedy, Time In has been chosen to be present sometime in December. The action of this play takes place in a radio studio. Miss Bessie Werum states that Woodward's orchestra is the smallest in the city. In spite of this fact, the group is planning to organize a trio composed of a piano, cello, and violin, as well as a string quartet. Dan Kryzaniak, last year's drum major, will again hold the same position. The band expects to march in full uniform at the first football game of the season to be held at Libbey, September 25. Boys Would Crowd Out Girls In Home Economics Classes Statistics obtained from the home economics department arouse the question of whether the boys or the girls will pre- dominate in the kitchen. Enough boys had selected this subject to completely crowd out all other classes. However, the girls were given preference, al- lowing only one hour to the ad- vanced boyis class. This special group of 15 seniors will be in- struted by Miss Angela Abair. At present, 218 students are enrolled in cooking and 139 in cooking. Honor Society Will Enroll 10 Percent Of Senior Class Headed by Aaron Novick, new- ly elected president of Wood- ward's Honor society, plans are being made for an instalation ceremony when 10 percent ofthe upiper senior class will be admit- te . Other newly elected oflicers are Doris Shortt, vice-president, Mar- tha Murzynski, treasurer, Doris t DRAMATIC GROUP TO ADMIT SOPHS Miss Warner To Advise Play Shopg Production Planned 1 Miss Warner Sophomores will have th ilege of joining the Play Shop this year announced Miss Dorothy Warner, adviser of this dramatic organization. Members will continue in this group as juniors and seniors. Next year only juniors will be per- mitted to j oing the following year, only seniors. One of the presentations of this club each year will be the sopho- more class play. Several Room Changes Made Within Woodward's Portals If you wander into rooms 240 and 230, donit think that L. J. Robie has suddenly turned to nursing or that Miss Louise Tip- pett teaches geometry. Several room changes have taken place. Miss Amie Miller has moved to 230, and Miss Hazel Coy's famous treatments for cuts and bruises can be secured in room 240. Miss Tippett in 147 and Mr. Robie in 154 have given up climbing stairs for exercise. Since pounding noises annoy Miss Bardo land every other Woodward attendantj, she haunts room 241 where the echoes sound less like war. Best Movies Chosen Listed among the best films of the month are China Clipperf' Gorgeous Hussy, Last of the Mohicansj' The Texas Rang- ers, My Man Godfrey, and Swing Time. These movies are a few of those selected in a joint estimate by the East Coast Preview Board for Musical Films. 1 New Senior Here A newcomer in Woodward's halls, Lucian Jablonski, senior, recently returned from Warsaw, Poland, where he studied two years. Lucian states seven subjects are e priv- required of all Students hp. TATTLER WILL HAVE TYPE SIZE CHANGED Hugh Montgomery, Adviser, Orders Eight Point For Paper A radical change will occur in the Tattler of October 2 pending the arrival of 200 pounds of 8 point type ordered by Hugh Montgomery, print shop instruct- er and adviser of the Tattler. This change in style will cost 35150 of which the Tattler will pay S100 and the Saga, 350. One third more stories will be need- ed- to. fill the column, thereby bringing more news to subscrib- ers of the paper. .That legibility of the stories will not be decreased is amply proven by a glance at any teach- er's curriculm schedule which is also printed in 8 point type. Class Of Twenty Will Study Essentials Of Library Work Miss Stella Sawtelle's library class, composed of fifteen girls and five boys, will meet every third hour Monday to learn the fundamentals of library work. Every student is assigned a study period during which he has charge of the shelves and assists in straightening and taking care of the books.

FOR OPENING GAME WITH LIBBEY Art Smith Discovers Kicking Ability Of Zaremba, Gosciniakg Scrimmage Gives Coaches Idea Of Squad Under Fire After three weeks of intensive practice, Woodward's Polar Bears are striving for their first game, the Libbey tilt, which opens the inter-city race. Coach Art Smith and his assistants have boys segregated into three squads with several scrimmages a week. Blocking and tack- ling are being stressed as the things which win ball games. Harry Zaremba and Teddy Gosciniak, ends, have turned out lito be excellent kickers and may Jim Boyd Picked To Be Star Sophomore At U.

These grid authorities make their choices known through the Illus- trated Football Annual. Before attending T. U., Boyd was a hard runner and a deadly tackler. Howard Brown, end, also of Toledo has been placed on the All-American check list. This means he is a leading candidate for the All-American team. Important Changes Made In Football Rules For 1936 Two important changes in the football rules will become effect- ive during the 1936 season. A ball which is punted and does not go over the line of scrim- mage can be picked up and ad- vanced by either team. The old rule made the ball dead if the team which kicked, recovered the ball. If a full team is not on the field at the beginning ofthe game or at the half, the team without all of its players is penalized 15 yards, instead of the ball being placed on the 35 yard line and ad- vanced by the team which won the toss. ' Joe Bloom May Take Charge of Boys' Intra-mural Games Homer Hanham and Art Smith are trying to arrange with the W.P.A. to have Joe Bloom, former gym instructor here, man- age the 1936-1937 intra-murals. The schedule will start with pass and tap football and con- tinue through the year with bas- ketball, volleyball, horseshoes, track, and ending up next spring with indoor-baseball. Approximately sixteen teams are expected to participate. As soon as they are organized and managers are appointed, the teams will swing into action. No changes will be made in the rules of the games. be used in the event that Barney Banasiak or Johnny Golembiew- ski are disabled at game time. Foremost candidates for back- field positions besides Golem- biewski and Banasiak are Bob Stack, Ed Pelczarski, Chuck Hos- kins, Tony Anello, Edwin Bialor- ucki, and Simon Hodge. Leading line candidates are Joe Barbara, center, Bob Shuff, Ray Stoykoff, and Tubby Balish, guards, Joe Wichowski, Al Greenwood, and Chester Kaz- mierczak, tackles, and Leonard Nareski and Ervin Klocko, ends. Stubby Krell looks like a first string guard if his knee turns out all right. Dave McMurray and Homer Hanham are filling their rolls as assistant coaches. Local Football Authorities Begin Season With Banquet All officials, coaches, athletic board members, faculty mana- gers, and principals of Toledo high schools inaugurated anoth- er grid season by attending a banquet, The Kickoff. Expenses were paid by contri- butions from each school. Principal C. C. LaRue was im- pressed by the number of former Woodward graduates who are now newspaper men in Toledo. Among them are Seymour Roth- man, Bladeg Paul Schrader, ofthe Timesg Marion Jaworski, and Merritt Deke Green, both of the Newsbee. All of these men attended the banquet. K i v - Bill Haffelder, center, received the first major injury of the cur- rent grid season when he suffer- ed a broken collar bone in a re- cent practica Tough luck Bill. Stubby Krell, prospective first string guard, wrenched his knee in a scrimmage. Stubby undoubt- edly will be in shape for the first game. . . .
