We have endeavored, throughout this book, to illustrate the likeness of our school life to music. A score of music would not be so called if any one part were missing, so it is with our school. The clef, indicating the pitch in which the harmony is Written, is rightfully equaled by our princi- pal. The key, determining the melodious tempo, coincides with the faculty. The seniors, being the leaders of the student body, have tried, through exemplification of principles, to be the harmonious tones that denote melody. As the accompaniment in music developes a higher state of proficiency, so the underclassmen com- plete the activites in the school. A greater happiness being reached through the doing for others, we, the staff, have devoted a yearis service in anticipation of success. Z!

These three worthy instructors are: Miss Bessie Werum, Clarence Ball, and Guy Sut- phen. In many of the students, they have developed musical talents that may have otherwise re- mained unknown. The moral standards Within the student body have been raised by the worthwhile music provided through the efforts of these three advisers. Several times a year, the Woodward Glee Club presents an opperetta under the direction of Mr. Ball. The school orchestra, under the baton of Miss Werum has ably accompanied the songsters. Our football games and mass meetings would not have been complete if the Band had not ded- icated their services on these occasions. For this we owe our thanks to Mr. Sutphen. We hope that this token of gratitude will help to express the deep appreciation that we feel toward these conductors. 1 J, 91215 t the Saga Staff began the publication of the 1941 Saga-Tattler. We hope that We have succeeded in our efforts and that this book will be a Worth- while and lasting memory for the students. Under the adroir and competent leadership of Vernon Gribbin, editor- in-chief, the staff has endeavored to produce a larger and better book. Many improvements and additions have been made. The class pictures and the club pictures are larger. A complete page has been given to the Student Council and to the club presidents. Several pages have been devoted to candid snapshots, taken by the Saga photographer, Ed Vinson. More pages have been granted to Girls' Sports than in previous years. In addition to these things, a padded cover is being used for the first time.

The faculty of Woodward are our directors. They unfiinchingly have lead us through our four years of school, as an orchestra conductor leads the musicians through a musical score. The song began when we entered high school as freshmen, and faithfully they have done their best to lead us to finish and graduation. We are grateful to this efficient group of leaders. We have endeavored to express our appreciation and thanks to them for so rhythmically helping us to carry out our song, the song of success, and for their aid in the developement of a complete and constructive cycle in our lives. A Wi. we salute a graduating class through the pages of our year book. We have tried to teach you a way of life that will bring you the greatest happiness. Your future sucesses will be ample reward for all the efforts we have expended upon you durinig your four years here. As you go into other schools or into the Work of making a living, the best wishes of all of us go with each of you. Hail and Farewell!

Only good-night, beloved, not farewell, A little While and all His sons shall dwell, In hallowed union indivisible. Good-night, Good-night, Good-night.

Q , C 1 ,i K of Mrs. Kathryn Schuler and Mr. Harry Wohler, the Student Council this year has launched many new activities in addition to those of previous years. Patty Hammontree has served as president, Robert Kubicki, vice president, Lois Roth, secretary-trea surerg and Arthur Bancroft, historian. The hall patrol has been organized into the Woodward Service Club, which meets regularly to improve conditi- ons of the halls during class periods. The Council supported the annual carnival by giving noon and assembly dances. It also has sponsored community sings to promote cooperation among the students. The Council gave free dances for the enjoyment of the students. The Student Council has charge of noon movies, mass meetings, and movies on the activities' ticket program. On March 21, a concert was given by the Woodward orchestra during the assembly period. The council took charge of this and proceeds from this concert were given to the orchestra for materials. A banquet was held at the Hillcrest Hotel, May 12. All ofthis year's members and members for the coming year vsbelrbelpresent with their guests. New officers were elected and inducted. This closed the round of activities for the year 1 - 941. The president and her oflicers performed their duties concientiously and Well. They had the good of the school in mind always and tried to cooperate with the faculty and Mr. LaRue in order to carry out the high ideals of Woodward. X l 6 I Z X X Z X Cwotewofzd fo Seniors LL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL is the song on the lips of the seniors of 1941, as they are marching through our portals in eager anticipation to experience the many joys and tribulations of living in an adult world. Their spontaneous cooperation in any of the school activities is exemplary of the spirit of the graduating class. With all participating in any efforts, the seniors have had the support of their fellow- classmates in achieving the success for which we all strive. Keeping somewhat in the background, but, nevertheless, making their presence felt by constantly spurring us onward to greater achievements, are our teachers---the silent partners of this organization. Their shrewd and scholary guidance has helped clarify many a befuddling situation. With such enthusiastic approval and encour- agement the students have swept onward to greater accomplishments.

OU for granted every morning when you open the door of the school building, that you will be greeted by clean halls and a warm building. But have you ever stopped to Wonder what would happen if for one day the halls were not swept or the furnace kindled? Think how many complaints would be turned in at the office! lgurt does anyone ever remark on the appearance of the school or is it just taken for grante . If it were not for our engineers and custodians this building would not be so pleasant. It would be a cheerless, dull, dirty, and cold place. As it is when We enter the building, life looks friendly. Why---because our engineers, custodian and janitors are constantly on the job. Woodward salutes Mr. Bedford, chief custodian, Mr. Mack, Mr. Piotrowski, Mr. Fluher, and Mr. Floyd, assistants.

Why, yes, clubs-- the social life ofschool! They offer an opportunity for any person in school to be a leader. Clubs are a vital link between learning and the social world for which we are preparing. One ofthe evening affairs of the, year the Shekel Shuffle, the annual all-club dance, was held on Friday, No- vember 15. It was a gay shindig, as it is every year. Our huge ballroom was festive in its bright red, white, and blue decorations, with beautifully colored ballons hanging from the ceiling. As this is sponsored by every or- ganization, we had a big crowd twirling, whirling and jitterbugging. Then of course, all through the school months, dances were given during assemblies or after school, and the literary and friendship groups also gave teas. Woodward Zetaletheans believe that a better understanding of human nature-its dreams, proposed, and and deeds-should be the objective of their cultural program. Although posed from time to time in new frames of ideas, man's basic problems do not change. The Zetale- thean project for 1940-41 is the study of these age-old hopes and frustra- tions in their setting of newer group purposes. Books chosen for discussion and for this year's gift to the Wood- ward Library have made the society's interest clear. The Zet spring dance, held April 4, furnished further funds for donations of recent fiction and biography. As a special project, five Zet girls have collaborated on a play, The Haunted Bookshop. Here, by adapting significant material from seven important novels, the Zets contend that the questions of the ages must be considered in terms of today. 'fWe believe in service for others, in health of mind and body to fit us for better service, and in worldwide friendship. For this reason we are joining the American Junior Red Cross. We will help to make its work successful in our school and community, and will work to- gether with Juniors everywhere in our own and other Lands. Woodward's Juniors have aimed to carry out these principles through activities or local, national, and international scope, by help- ing home institutions, contributing money for vitamins and medica- tions for European sufferers, exchanging portfolios with foreign countries. Guided by its motto We serve, Junior Red Crossers will continue their joyful work of mercy. The Girls' Athletic League this year has about two hundred members. Many girls have participated in the after-school intra- murals. The purpose of this organization is to get more girls inter- ested in athletics and to enjoy themselves after school. Every year they sonsor their annual Skirt and Sweater swing and give a mass meeting for a basketball or football game. Q IA l The aims and purposes of the Mu- nicipal Club are to further the knowl- edge of its members and to provide a medium by which they may explore the institution which surround them. And in the hope that in the near fu- ture they may become better citizens. Various civic buildings were visited by the club as part of this program. As to social activities, this was not on a large scale this year. t'To promote greater understanding and appreciation of the drama by developing talent through produc- tions -so reads the Constitution of the Play Shop, the newly established ' little theater group. Entirely on their own, students began, organized, and presented their initial play, The Eyes of Tlaloc which was given on two successive evenings, one of them a benefit per- formance, to a full house. Through the cooperative efforts of members, each one developed an interest wholly his own, in either costuming, paint- ing, acting, sound, or any elements combining to form the theater, were all absorbed by participants almost unknowlingly. Miss Dorothy Warner's excellent direction and management were and still are vitally necessary for the success of this club. , 1 The Woodward Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society is an honorary N organization whose members are a very select group of seniors chosen l wholly by scholarship, service, leader- ship and character. The object of this chapter is to create the enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the de- velopment of character in pupils of Woodward High School. Under the guidance of W. F. Rohr. the new advisor, this group started the year off by electing officers. A constitution was drawn up by a com- mittee appointed by the president and accepted by the chapter. Although this society does not promote any money-making activ- ities, it does much to establsh a high standard for underclassmen to aim at, in an effort to be chosen for membership. The members of the graduating class were presented National Honor Society pins on Recognition Day. This year, as in previous years, it has been the purpose of the Engineering Society to better our school. We have done this by help- ing the school in every way we could. At the basketball games candy was sold and dances given after each one. Whenever the school gave a movie, candy was also sold at this time and the profits made were all turned over to the school. We have also tried to further the education of some of our own members by sending them to the University of Toledo and this past year we created two scholarships. Each year, at given time, we sponsor a trip to the Ford Plant and Greenfield Village. All the boys of the school are invited. One of the activities in our society is our annual dinner-dance at the Toledo Yacht Club. Only the members and their invited guests are privileged to attend this dinner, but the dance is open to the public. Then just before the close of school, we give our annual banquet at the Yacht Club. We invite all members of the alumni to be present for this occasion. At the close of the year each student is made an alumnus of the club. Fred Bahn, German Club of Woodward, during its ten years of existence, has sincerely endeavored to live up to the lofty ideals and principles of a foreign language club, namely: to get a better under- standing of the German people by way of their language. German literature, German art, German music, and German science are topics at the monthly meetings, and students of the German language as well as their friends and their manner of living. The members of the German club have hung two fine pictures on the walls of the north corridor: The Three Wise Men and Whist- ler's Mother. They have given a few German plays, have entertained in true German fashion parents and their friends, are staging the most popular dance of the year, the Weihnechtstanz, are hard- working, loyal supporters of Gayety Nite. In short, they try to prove that the efficiency of a club redects the heart of the mem- bershipf' The Woodward Electrical Society, although inactive socially dur- ing l940-41, was kept busy solving the school's electrical problems. One group working under the name of Movie Projection class, sup- plied the technical background for our noon and special movies. Repairs were made on fiat-irons, sewing machines, and other electrical equipment used by the Home Economics department. Devices brought in by students and teachers were restored to working order. In gen- eral, the policy of the Society this year was one of service to the school rather than social activity. M61 V1 1 The Polish Literary Society has always been faithful to its pur- pose which is providing a worthy senior with a scholarship. The many activities the P. L. S. has planned and carried out with success have all served to make possible this scholarship. The P. L. S. has given two skates this year, both of which were held at Memorial Hall. The first was held in October and had a large attendance. The second, held in February, was also a gratify- ing success. The proceeds from these skates went toward the scholar- Ship. On Thanksgiving, the club gave a generous Thanksgiving Basket to a poverty-stricken family. The club's Gayety Nite concession was a dance given in the hoy's gym. Like all Woodward clubs the P. L. S. participated in the Sheckle Shuffle. The Cod-ed Prom given annually by the French Club, founded in 1920, is one of the popular dances of the year. Tout Bien ou rien, the motto of the club means, 'tThe best or nothing. With the Art Klan, Le Cercle Fran- cais gave the first ice skating party in the history of our school. This was successful from every point of view. Every year the club visits the Art Museum, gives a Christmas program in French and conducts projects for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the French people, their history, and customs. Corresponding with French pupils studying English in France, is an- other hobby giving the students an opportunity to make practical applications of their knowledge. The chimes with which our broadcasting system begins each morning were given to Woodward by this club of which Mr. George Rohrer is the very capable and industrious adviser. Q The Sophomore Friendship Club, barring a few mishaps, has had a very successful year. With the help of their very able adviser, Mrs. Upp, and their fine president, Joan Giogliotti, they have really begun to understand and 'to act upon the title of their organization. During the first four months of the school year they and the Junior-Senior Club produced a mass meeting. On October 29 they had the one outing of the year, a roast at Ottawa Park. The club's Gayety Nite concession, The Bonnet Bar, was a Huge success. During the Holidays they prepared a basket for a family at Thanksgiving and helped prepare one at Christmas Time. The second semester has been spent very constructively. Two outstanding programs were: Cosmetics for the high-school girl, to which several members contributed, and Music Appreciation, a talk by Mrs. Nicklin. A splendid Valentine's party was held. Games were played and refreshments were served. It ended with community singing. Pulitzer Prize proclaimed by Peri- clean Prodigy! Will this statement ever become a reality? Who knows? The initial attempt has been made. The Pericleans have adopted a po- tential formula which has for its con- stituents-one-tenth inspiration and nine-tenths perspiration. Element ONE of our plan has be- come a possibility since the club has become a member of the Book-of-the- Month Club. Through this endeavor, we replete our library and thus we have contact with the outstanding 1 literary selections and critics of the IF era. Nor do we rest at this point. We H provide an outlet for all our assimila- tions by actual compositions. Several poems, composed by inspired Peris, have been publicized over radio station WSPD and once we had the distinction of hearing a Periclean selection broadcast over the 'tBreakfast Club, a National Broadcasting program. Commercial con- tests which offered remuneration were entered and again our efforts were blessed. Our success in the literary field has been gradual but we have received the impetus which makes for perseverance which makes for the dream of dreams, SUCCESS! mwestga . The Alchemist Society is open to Physics and Chemistry students who have a high scholastic standing. The meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The first meeting of the month is a business meeting and the last meeting of the month is a program meeting. The program meetings consist of experiments, reports, and special entertainment. Each year the society tries to go through some of the factories in the city. The society sponsors a skate each year and closes its year's activities with .a picnic. The motto of the club is To build by creating an active interest in Science. Q The Aviation Club this year has taken in ten new candidates and these were given a surprise feed at their invitation in the Y. M. C. A. Each boy is supposed to offer at least one constructive thing to the club throughout the year, either as something he has made or a discussion of an aerial activity of any interesting phase. Two events of interest take place annually: one a trip to the Detroit or our Municipal Airport, the other, the annual Senior Avia- tor's Farwell Dinner. This is one of the bigger events of the year and is anticipated with the greatest enthusiasm. Z The Junior-Senior Friendship Club opened its activities this year with a joint meeting with the Sophomore Club, having as a gue:t Miss Louise Herler of the Y. W. C. A. For Gayety Nite the club had a fortune-telling booth. The distinctions chosen were blue jerkins with a white girl reserve em- blem on the Docket. During Lent the club sponsored four auditorium meetings, having as speakers four diferent ministers from Toledo churches. On March 1'7, there was a St. Pat- rick's Day tea given for the Scott High Junior Friendship Club. The guestspeaker was Miss Kidd, personnel director of Tiedtke's. The girls sold Girl Reserve salt to raise money for the camp fund. The year closed with a luncheon for the senior members, at which time a Girl Reserve ring was presented to the junior member who had been the most outstanding member of the club. This year's Senior Hi-Y Club was composed of 35 members. A roast was held in October and numerous parties were given at shelter houses throughout the year. Five members of the club were chosen to attend the annual Hi-Y Congress which was held for four days in Dayton, Ohio. Getting acquainted with boys from other schools and cities and learning from various speakers the ways of living of other races, are some of the things accomplished during this year. ,Q xl 4.10. xr'- ,- Q Mil Our band this year is one of the finest in Woodward's history. It consists of friendly boys and girls who are always willing to cooperate. The band made a very successful trip to Marion, Ohio. It performed beautifully at the game, and we received many com- pliments. Another important factor that contributes to the success of the band is the expert musical direction by Mr. Sutphen. This year, as in years before, the students have a band they can be proud of. La Junta Castellana, Spanish Club of Woodward, was one of the first clubs founded in old Woodward. During its 18 years of existence it has sincerely aimed to wield an intellectual and cultural influence in Woodward's realm. The fine pictures in the auditorium, halls, and Spanish class- room, the fine trophy case in the welcome hall bear witness to the earnest work of the members all through the years. Los Juegos Florales, a yearly spring ceremony where all the languages, Latin, Spanish, French, Polish, German, and English offered their best in prose and poetry, was an outgrowth of class- room work, and so were the Pan-American programs. . La Junta Castellana has always been a loyal supporter of Gayety Nite, and an interested performer in charity work. This club donated a large sum toward Woodward's first moving picture machine. Mis Ammie Wetterman has been the adviser of this club since it was founded. The Junior Hi-Y Club of Woodward is made up of freshman boys. The club's ideals are based on those of the Senior Hi-Y. This year's club has done very well. The boys are now ready to join next year's Senior Hi-Y and carry on for the next three years in the places left vacant by the older boys. The Nightingale Club is perhaps the youngest club in Woodward, for it was only founded in the year 1940 by Miss Hazel Coy. The club was formed for several reasons, one of which is to participate in some small way in the great campaign of knitting for Bundles for Britain. We also have set up a program for the year in which a guest speaker is brought to Woodward each month to talk to the younger girls on Personal Hygiene, and many other subjects important to a health standard, but to a moral standard as well. In this way we play our part in making Woodward the best school in Toledo. The W girls make up the cabinet of the Girl's Athletic League. There are about thirty girls who have earned five hundred points to get their HW. During the basketball season the girls assist in ushering. Their activities are, of course, the same as the G. A. L. girls. Lights out! Audience quiet-dthe curtain rises and approximately 150 voices of all pitch join in song as the members of the Glee Club presented their concert. A few months later in the school auditorium the setting was the same, as this enormous cast brought forth the operetta The Chimes of Normandy. At Waite High School's stadium in May, the entire chorus 'took part in the May Festival. Woodward girls led the cast while the boys helped to put on a magnificent show. The Glee Club also sang for the members of the Kiwanis Club. All through the year the members were spurred on by Mr. Clarence Ball, director, and Mr. L. C. Clark, his able assistant. N N Q .wk 'H Under the supervision of Howard Phipps, the Fasces Club was launched in 1923 by a group of seven Latin students. Now, as then, any person studying Latin and interested in ex- panding his knowledge in this field is elegible to join. During the school year of 1924- 1925, the club joined a well-known educational organization throughout Ohio and Indiana known as the Zeta Chapter of the Fasces Club. Its name comes from the Latin word fasces which refers to a bundle of rods with an axe in the center tied with heavy rope. These were carried by the lictors before the emperor's carriage as a symbol of authority. The club meets second and fourth Tuesdays of the Month. This year the programs have consisted of a study of the Roman gods and goddesses. xl l., A X' X ,X V! ,v5,. 69.9155 yy. lar ii M I Qian 'YN ! The members of the Freshman Friendship Club desire to pro- mote a friendly spirit among their associates and to do some service for their community. The fourth grade children of the Miami Children's Home have been their main interest. At Christmas the girls went to the school giving the children a party and taking them gifts. They have also sent cards. Two purposes of our Ochestra have been to bring into our school the best type of music and to cultivate an appreciation of this good music. We have studied along both practical and theoretical lines. Knowledge of the foundations of music and information about the world's great composers make the practical side more easily admired and appreciated. Playing this music is our way of giving voice to the admiration and love we feel for it. We performed for several organizations during the year and in this way were able to bring to others, too, the beautiful, imaginative world of music. The Art Klan is an honary Art Club. The club's yearly project is to buy two pictures for the gallery it has started on the second floor. This year the club, together with the French Club, sponsored the first ice skate given at Woodward. They also sponsored their annual Klan Klammer at Memorial Hall. The pur- pose of these events was to raise money to buy the above mentioned pictures. The Art Klan sponsored the Hula Heaven, Gayety Nite. This was a N nite club that has always been a 1 success. This year informal meetings were held where professional models posed for the members to sketch. To further the interests of art we in- vited any art student to attend these meetings. The club was invited to attend a Valentine Mixer at Waite High Schooi. Plans for a future get-together of all Art Clubs were dis- cusse . The Student Council of Woodward High School was organized in 1931. The purpose of this organization is not only to enforce the rules of the school, but also to bridge the gap be- tween the students and the teachers. The present cabinet of officers con- sists of Patty Hammontree, presi- dent, Robert Kubicki, vice president: Lois Roth, secretary-treasurerg and Arthur Bancroft, historian. Mrs. Kathryn Schuler and Mr. Harry Wohler are co-advisers of the council. The Council is in charge of the hall patrol, noon, movies, mass meetings, and moving pictures. It also sponsors free educational programs in the , auditorium and free dances in the gyms for all students. This club was organized to better the school in every possible way. s .Q six r lift? 4,1 'Q-ng.. gb I by a loyal student body the Woodward Polar Bears struggled through hard luck seasons of football and basketball meeting many defeats but always looking forward to the next contest with hopes of smashing into the high percentage column. Minor sports also had their followings as Woodward was represented in all sports participated in by Toledo High Schools. A hot race for top position among intra-mural squads helped to make many Woodward lasses also go athletic. Another feature attraction for both girls and boys was the Co-ed Tournament, which had many couples joining the fray to struggle for supremecy. Polar Bear players in all fields of sports carried Woodwardls name with them and fought to make our school outstanding. In victory or in defeat they did not once forget the ideals of good sportsmanship. 51289115 J C. C. LaRue ffl Zetic L. G. Nuber! C. M, Meek A. J. Brown Jack Taylor Football 0076!

Lack of reserve power and a good fast back were big drawbacks this year. By next fall we hope to see both defects remedied, and expect to cause a great deal of trouble in the city race.

In spite of the hard going in the first round a determined live put on a sudden spurt early in the second session to put up lively battles against league competitors, but the end of the series found the Hanhamites still in fifth place. Hopes of tournament honors were shattered when a fast stepping five from Central took the long count of a 35-22 score.

Some of these boys have represented Woodward during all of their years here and their loss will be especially felt. Although the teams did not succeed in garnering major positions in intra-city competition this season several boys were outstanding, not only at school but also among the best players produced by other schools. Also greatly outstanding was the great sportsmanship displayed by these boys and their determinaticn to give their utmost throughout the game until the final gun.

CLARK'S DEATH IS SADLY MOURNED Science Department Suffers Loss As Instructor Dies Of Heart Attack E. L. Ciark The death of E. L. Clark, head of the science department, is keenly felt by faculty and students alike. His kindly guidance and advice, which many sought, will be sorely missed. Born in Lakeview, Michigan, where he recieved his high school education, Mr. Clark came to Toledo in 1917 to teach at the Woodward Technical High School. Always loyal, he continued teaching Woodward students when the school was built at the present site. His degrees include a B a c h e l o r of Arts degree at the Michigan State Normal College and a Master of Arts degree at the University of Michigan. The Honor Society here at Wood- ward was headed by E. L. Clark as was the science department. A sturdy pillar in our hall of learn- ing, Woodward students and faculty will remember him as an upholder of modern standards of education. Funeral services were held Wednes- day at 3:00 P. M. in the Boyer Mortu- ary in West Toledo. Burial was in Ot- tawa Hills Memorial Park. Last Year's Seniors Awarded Eleven Valuable Scholarships Several scholarships were awarded high ranking seniors at graduation last June. Jean Douglas, last year's Tattler editor, Sam Laderman, and Helen Schiedler received one year scholar- ships to Toledo University. Horatio Jex received a half-year scholarship as the result of a fund collected by his class when they were sophomores. Phyliss Hendrickson took an examination last spring and was awarded a S500 scholarship to Bethany ColQe, in Bethany, West Virginia. The Engineering Society presented both Roy Winn and Eugene Szajkowski with S120 scholarships, and Bertha Hascal received on e t o Tri-State Business College from the commercial department. The Polish Literary Society gave Cecelia Szymanski a year's scholarship to De Sales College. Charles McFarland and George Jaschke were the recipients of a four year scholarship to Dennison College.

Activities Ticket Goal Set At One Thousand Purchases With the Brvan game as the initial attraction, the activities ticket sale swung into being with 1,000 pur- chasers as its goal. Six football games, six basketball games, and first run movies make up the eighteen big attractions which tend to make this year's sale even better than last year. Woodward, you know, stated Mr. A. J. Brown, assistant athletic direc- tor, won the Bryan game, and with a win behind the Bears, I am sure the students will back us to the fullest. Up to now 493 books have been sold. Stickers On Sale Polar Bear stickers are on sale in the Boys' Gym. The proceeds of these stickers will be used to purchase ma- terial for use in the intra-mural pro- gram. Physical directors, Art Smith and Homer Hanham hope to have a very extensive intra-mural program and through cooperation by the stu- dents in purchasing Polar Bear stick- 'WORK COMPLETED ON SOUND SYSTEM 109 Loudspeakers Installed 'With Money From Three Sources To returning Woodwardites the 109 blue and white loudspe akeis through out the building repw esent the culmin- ation of two years' of planning and saving. Sound system arrangements make possible announcements from the auditorium, oflice, and the bcys' gym. Programs originating within the build- ing and those ofstandard radio stations may also be heard. Proceeds amounting to 31100 from the last two Gayety Nites, S5588 from last years sophomore class, and approximately S345 netted from the the noon movies constituted Wood- ward's share of the expense. The Board of Education provided S600 for the pro- ject. Although estimated time for the in- stallation was three months, R. E. Shu- maker, head of the W. P. A. wiring unit, and his three assistants accom- plished the work in ten weeks. The wireing was completed Wednes- day, September 11, when the five foot six inch master switchboard was in- stalled in C. C. LaRue's office. This cabinet contains 34 radio tubes, con- nection for voice and phonograph, and over one hundred switches for the vari- ous loudspeakers. Identification Cards To Be Issued By Representative The new school identification cards for the 1940-41 school year will be issued here by a representative of the Community Traction Company on September 30, and October first and second, from 8:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. All students are required to have a recognizable photograph. The width of the head on the photo should not be less than three-eighths of an inch, nor more than three-fourths of an inch. The purpose of the photo is to pre- vent illegal use of the cards by grad- uates and others not entitled to the special school reduction rate. Wisconsin Army Maneuvers Attended By 'Private' Gallier Neil Gallier, Junior, participated in the Second Army Maneuvers in Sparta, Wisconsin, from August 11 to August 31. The 65,000 troops were from the National Guard and regular army of Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michi- gan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. For the past ye ar and a half, Neil has been a Private in local Battery F, 135th Field Artillery. Two Committees Appointed To Have Charge Of Movies Two committees have been ap- pointe dby Art Bancroft, commissioner of noon movies, to take charge of the serials during fourth and fifth hour lunch periods. Joe Hascal, Bob Kubicki, Art Ban- croft, Elaine Roach, and Betty Os- good have charge of the movies fourth hour. Art Bancroft, Patty Hammon- tree, Bob Kubicki, Joe Hascal, Betty Osgood, Betty Woods, and John Vin- son share the duties fifth hour. Beginning Monday, September 23, weekly passes will be sold for ten cents. It is hoped that these passes APPOINTED DEANS DIRECT ALL CLASSES il- Miss Amie Miller And Clyde Meek Direct Activities From Room 141 lil Amie Miller A new plan of attendance record has been inaugurated into Woodward this year with two deans serving the entire student body, instead of the six deans existing in former years. Miss Amie Miller and Clyde Meek will act as girls' and boys' dean, respec- tively. Students excuses for absence will' be taken directly to the first hour teacher who will issue the absence slips. They in turn will report to the deans and all irregularities will be handled by Miss Miller and Mr. Meek. Clyde Meek As the position of dean requires full time work, neither Miss Miller or Mr. Meek will instruct classes. ln- stead they will each have an office in room 141 and conduct their activities from there. Mass Meeting Held Woodward's first mass meeting was held this morning during assembly period in preparation for our foot- ball game with Libbey. Loyal Woodward boosters were pre- sented with a variety of entertainers. Intra-mural Program For Boys Planned By Directors For the boys who do nothave the chance to participate in varsity ath- letics, physical directors Homer Han- ham and Art Smith have prepared their yearly intra-mural program. Both directors are very anxious to get started and plan to open the schedule with pass and tap football. Competi- tion will begin the latter part of next week. The method of team organization will be the same as in former years, various clubs will enter teams to com- pete against each other.

Deepest Sympathy Tattler StaE, on behalf of the entire and student body, wishes to extend its condolence to Miss Mary Boyles on the death of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Boylesg Mrs. Betty Brink.- erhoE on the loss of her father, Harry Perkins: and to Virginia Lobet on the death of her mother, Mrs. Mabel Lobet. Their deaths occurred this summer. Lend A Helping Hand HOSE SMALL, rather frightened looking creatures who roam the halls of our noble institution of learning, mumbling as they look for the gym, auditorium, etc., are human beings just like us seniors, juniors, sophomores and hang- ers-on. But all joking aside, these kids are in a strange, new environment, trying their hardest to adjust themselves, so next time a boy or girl con- fronts us asking the location of the gym or the office or some other little visited place, let's give him the directions instead of brushing him off with a casual shrug. The faculty Keep Up The Good Work OODWARD has won its first football game in many months. Woodwardites greeted this victory with shouts and school cheers. Good sportsmanship and fairness was evident everywhere in the Bear bleachers. Frequent penalties that might have been classed as unfair, plus our many losses in the past, made a fitting background for boasting and poor sports- manship. Instead, Bryan fans were congratulated and the spirit of friendly competition was prevalent everywhere. This year a trophy will be presented to the Toledo high school that displays the most good sportsman- ship. Let's finish the football race with more school spirit and the best show of sportsmanship ever seen in Toledo. Between The Book Ends Land For My Sons Maribelle Comack and William P. Alexander America of the Revolutionary War, of the days when pioneers pushed Westward toward the Alle- ghenes to settle land for their sons, is the back ground for this historical novel. Young Michael Marshall, surveyor and wilderness scout, is the hero of this narrative. As a Scotch- Irish settler, he had broad s h o ul d e r s, red hair steady blue eyes, and ID u c h of the bold s p iri t, which held this wilderness against the Indians. As a member of the local militia, Michael was one of the hrst to seek service when the Revolution broke out. The story of his exploits in Washington's army, and his romance with Molly Thompson, a girl from a wilderness trading post, make the book well worth reading. Still Kids The grads just can't seem to stay away from their d ear old Alma Mater---Johnny McMahon, Louis Emm, Jean Douglas, Agnes Leece, Bill Loerke, 'Honey' K1 0 n o w s k i, 'Ziggy' Kaminski, George Spaulding, and George Jaschke were seen ambling about the halls. Overheard Mr. Pollock: Evelyn, your news event. Evwelyn: Everything but the weather report has Several years ago appeared in the g , E, National Tribune a story called Five '- Hundred Miles of Fried Chicken. The Tribune was a paper devoted to the interests of the men both from the North and the South that had fought l in the Civil War. - 'Y This particular story had to do with the hastily prepared army of the North that was assembled to repel the invasion of the Southern General Morgan and his famous raiders. According to the story, based at least partly on facts, Morgan moved swiftly through Southern Indiana and into Ohio with the hastily gathered, poorly equipped Northern forces following him.The author relates that almost continously along the line of march the people of ,Indiana and Ohio turned out and fed these Northern soldiers who were attempting to turn Morgan back and save the homes and farms from devastation. Practically every basket brought to these lines was filled to overflowing with fried chicken. It was bountiful and for a while extremely delicious, but after the nrst hundred miles or so it began to pall upon the appetite. By the time the campaign was ended and Morgan safely lodged in the Ohio Peni- tentiary the soldiers were almost nauseated by the sight of even a live chicken. Whether the story is true or false is not known but it bears out the famous old saying, You can get too much of a good thingf' We have come back to school feeling much the same way about vacations. We have had a very long one. It had become the five hundred miles of fried chicken? Practically everyone is ready and eager for the coarse fare of good old school days. May our vacations in the future be shorter and thus sweeter, ' I xv wrkkr .. X lt, C'?C'?..-6? School It's one place some children dread, ,Cause they'd rather stay in bed, For they have to read and write And study lessons every night. Some like school CI wonder whoj It may be he or it may be you, As for me I dislike it so For there, I learn things that I should know. - Helen J. Frankowski Lunch No more do the gay dispensers or learning have to suffer the gall of being under the public eye as thay eat. Nay, now they toss off hot dogs behind a glass partition. This idea was thought about for years and this year they have carried it out. It is a great boon to the self-conscious eaters or as they are more commonly called the sneak and grab-eaters. Because of the great demand by the students, efforts are being made to install glass which can be seen through from the outside and from the inside. This will serve as a fooler for the teachers and at the same time afford as a source of ammusement for the pupil at lunch. Freshmen In The Hall How has Woodward impressed you? Una Carpenter, Stickney---Surely is different from grade school. More bustle and excitment, but I like it very much. Joe Rosiak, Webster---The building is mighty big and the best part is the very nice girls. Phyllis Trepinski,Sherman---Woodward is a lot of fun and the teachers and students are very friend- ly. Henry Majka, St. Adalberts---I love it! Everythingts swell including the teachers and students. Where They Went Vesper Handy disrupted the dear old South, with a visit during the Labor Day holidays.

Vacation Quips Hi kids, well Pm back again and bubbling over with news stored up through the summer. Howard Phipps won the P. G. A. tournment. By the way, Bobby Harder was his caddy. I wonder if that had anything to do with Mr. Phipps' winning? Vernon Gribben fished with President Roosevelt in the Car- ibbean and caught more than the No. l Man, himself. One of our most promising young lawyers, Carl Betz, was a representative to the Havana Conference. Did you know that becuase of his striking resemblence, Charles Mann became Edward G. Robinson's stand inn? And Betty Taylor marched out of Atlantic City with the Miss America cup tucked neatly under her arm. Here's a hot tip before I close the column, Dick Sheline, US. tennis player No. 1., is expect- ed to accept a pro offer soon. Keep Pluggin' They left their toys and they left their play, and came to school that fine bright day. Yes, we are refering to our brand new freshmen who entered our building with wide open eyes and plastered hair. The seniors, as ever, are ready to haunt them with taunts that are certainly going to daunt them. They brood, and they sigh, and they wish they were dead, These seniors, they think, are all tetched in the head. Ah well, ki d d i e s, cheer up! You too will be a seniorfsome day.J Calling All Boys What qualities do our Woodward coeds want the typical boy friend to possess. Tall? Dark? Handsome? Anyway, most girls 199.99 per centj admit they like boys. Take heed you he-m e n and don't say we didn't w arn you. Here's some opinions from your collegues. Jane Bieniek, senior---He must be tall, dark, and handsome. A nice personality together with black wavy hair and blue eyes would be ideal. Jean Marzec, junior---My perfect specimen should have a nice reputation, should be about five feet eight inches tall, 160 pounds, have green orbs, dark brown hair, and be a graduate. Evelyn Cieslewski, sophomore---If he is tall, blond, handsome, smokes a pipe, is a home lover and an athlete, he is the perfect boy friend. U Doris Young, freshman---The ideal boy friend for me would be short, blond, h an d s o m e, have a MEETING ATTENDED BY FORTY-SIX GIRLS First Assembly of Leader's Class Held In Gym Monday Miss Catherine McClure Forty-six girls attended the first meeting of the leaders' class in the gym, Monday.

Woodwardites Given Posts As Big Silver Councilors Three Woodwardites and four ex- Woodwardites were on the Camp Big Silver Councilor's staff, under the di- rection of Coach Homer Hanham. Charles McFarland, graduate of 1940, and Dick Koster, senior, were counci- lors, each having a group of seven boys to put through their camp duties. While Nolan Ryan, senior, and Irv Wiesniewski, sophomore, were the as- sistants-to-the-chef. Other graduates in the camp include Walter Bojnowski, ex-Woodward star, in charge of athletics. Oscar Heiman, and Ernie Banky, graduates of 1939 as helpers. Crack Cross-Country Team Hoped For By Coach Fetters With three letter men returning to this years crosscountry team, Coach Bill Fetters has hopes for a much fast- er and better team than last year in runners.

The speedsters will have their first meet against Waite on September 25. The remainder of the schedule is as follows October 5 Fremont at Fremont BEARS BEAT BRYAN 19-6 IN OPENING TILT Team Drives Hard Against Heavy Opponents Saturday The Woodward Polar Bears chalked up a victory over a bewildered Bryan team, 19-6, in the opening game of the North-Enders' season last Saturday at Scott Stadium. Coach Jack Taylor's charges played exceptionally fine foot- ball against a heavier opponent. Ray Pierce drew first blood in the opening quarter of the battle galloping 10 yards for a touchdown to add a perfect ending to a 63 yard march. In the middle ofthe second quarter Bryan tied the score after a dash from mid-field. Their attempted Conversion was wide of finding its mark. A coffin corner kick by Bob Myneder in the third quarter aided Woodward in its next scoring thrust.Bryan booted to Bob Ramer who was stopped on the 22 yard line. One play later Ramer had sped the remaining distance to strike pay dirt for the Blue and White. Jack McKenzie added the next point by a well placed kick through the goal posts. In the final quarter the Bears stopped the foe's passing attack deep in Bryan territory.

Jack Taylor The Polar Bear grid squad opened their 1940 football campaign showing to advantage in every position, when they defeated Bryan last week, 19-6. However, their real test will come this evening when Woodward is scheduled to meet a powerful Libbey squad. After suffering a 13-12 setback at the hands of Aurora, the Cowboys will be seeking revenge at the expense of the Blue and White. Libbew' has the edge in weight and is a slight favorite to win. In their contest with Aurora the Cowboys showed class in the air and are expected to use this type of offensive against the Bears. Throughout the past week Coach Jack Taylor of Woodward, has sent his players through hard drills and scrimage in an attempt to put a squad on the field in the best possible on- dition. In a scrimage game with Perrysburg the Polar Bears showed a strong offensive thrust and have high hopes of downing Libbey. Probable lineup for Woodward will be Koster and Pryczbyz, ends 3 Crosby and Rawski, tacklesg McKenzie and Tucker, guards, Fritch, center, Myneder, quarterbackg Raczo, full- Eacllig and Ramer and Tima at half- ac .

WOODWARD'S ALM A MATER SONG Woodward High, our Alma Mater, All our youthful years are thine, In thy halls and bus classrooms, Happy hours, oh golden time. All of youth and life's best pleasures, Thru thy doors pass swift away Alma Mater, Woodward High School To thy praise we sing today. When our steps are growing slower, Cares of life and duty call Then our thoughts turn back once more, Alma Mater of us all. Mem'ry brings us back again, To all those happ days of yore Alma Mater, Woodward High School Praise and honor evermore.

New Fashionsg Girls Only Corduroy pinafores jackets, hats, and purses are tops in fashion for the high school girl who is style-con- scious. T h e red-enough-to-frighten-a-bull sweaters, which adorn the backs of our fairer sex and announce their ar- rival, brighten any day.

Vol. XIII Toledo, Ohio, September 27, 1940 No, 2 SOUND SYSTEM The appoximate cost of the new sound system was S3,000. Of this account, 81,400 has been paid. The remainder of the debt will be obtained from Gayety Nite, which is expected to be in No- vember this year. There are four speaking stations. These are the ofhce, auditorium, boys' gym, and 153. Room 150 is to be used for plays and other events in which only a few students will participate. Mass meetings may be held in boys' gym. Because of the shape of the speakers, better reception is expected. If you haven't noticed already, the speakers are painted in our :school col- ors, royal blue and white. The system was installeed by the Sweeney Sound System of Toledo.This organization has installed similar sys- tems at the New York World's Fair and the Taft Hotel of New York City. The coming inaugural address by Roosevelt or Willkie is expected to be heard by the history classes over the system. Wiring the building required three months. When the sound system is complet- ed, both students and teachers will be asked to make request on the type of programs they would like. Spun aluminum is the basic metal in the composition of the speakers. E Ich room is controlled by a button in the oi'Iice. This enables certain classrooms to hear a particular pro- gram which would be helpful to the students in the class. The record player is now in working order. Mrs. Hella Anderson, instructor in history, has been listening to the news lgrggadcast every morning from 8:15 to Eighteen more speakers will be in- stalled in the halls. All long halls will have two and short halls one. W.S.P.D.

Her brother, who is vice president of De Sales College, also escaped unhurt. Letter Of Thanks Received From Teachers In Arkansas Mrs. Mary O'Brien received a letter from a teacher in Delany, Arkansas thanking her for the 100 books the Red Cross sent last year. A pathetic note was struck in that the superintendant thought 100 books was enough for the high school. This was especially pitiful as it was more books than were at the high school at any time. Mrs. O'Brien received a special in- vitation to spend a few weeks there in the Ozarks. An additional promise to have a square dance with a fiddler and caller in her honor was made known to her.

Cleaner building during lunch hours. The Old Fighting Spirit HE MASS meeting held last Friday in the audito rium, was truly one of the most enthusiastic ever held in Woodward. The tremendous ovation given the players, the coaches, and C. C. LaRue was true evidence of the inward pep still in many Wood- ward students, regardless of all the defeats sus- tained in past years. The spirit of the student body was matched only by the team itself, who, though overwhelmed by superior size and numbers, still displayed a remarkable fighting spirit throughout the game. We think congratulations are due to one of the finest student bodies and team Woodward has had in many years. Get The Idea Now? OST OF YOU know the Tattler only as a weekly publication telling you the latest news and gossip about the school. Although this is true, the main purpose of the Tattler is not merely to print the school happenings, but to create a closer feeling between teacher and student, to further club and social well-being of the school. - This editorial column is not written to criticize but to commend situations or ideas that need cor- rection are printed and possible solution for them are offered. In this way we may all become acquain- ted with our school problems and better understand how to cope with them. The Tattler is a student publication, therefore, any pupil wishing to contribute any ideas toward the betterment of this paper may bring them to the Tattler oiiice, room 122. 1-... 1. Buy Activities Tickets INCE athletic events have become an integral part of high school life, and when you can see six gridiron contest, cheer until you're hoarse, and have a 50 per cent improved chance of winning over the last five years, sales of activities tickets should reach a new peak. Six basketball games and an equal number of movies complete the 18 events scheduled for this year's season. You freshmen, especially, start your four years out right by standing behind Woodward at every opportunity. And, older students, re- member that there aren't many games left in your high school life.

We Are Improving An old familiar proverb which you all know is Credit should be given where credit is due . That quotation applies to the Student Council for its fine hall patrol system. The great improvement over last year's patrol is remarkable. True it is not perfect. Students still get by because one or two guards do not report them but these flaws we know will quickly be ironed out by the council. When an organization like this improves, it is to be given credit. Do not misinterpret that statement. An institution improves as it grows. VVoodward is growing, and simultaneously comes improvement. We of Woodward are proud of our fine Student Council because it has not failed in its duty, to im- prove Woodward. Date Conversation 1. How fast my car can go. 2.

DEFEATED BY GOLDEN COWBOYS FRoM LIBBEY i.l. ...-i.- Lack Of Reserve Material Cause Of Woodward Downfall .l-1 With thoughts of victory on each player's mind, Woodward's Polar Bears entered the Libbey fray last Friday and held a stronger Cowboy outfit to a 7-7 tie during a hectic three quarters, only to lack reserve material and falter in the last period when two Cowboy men crossed the goal. The score at the final whistle was, Woodward 7, Libbey 19. In the first quarter, McClealland, end. scored for Libbey on an off tackle play and kicked for the extra point. Three plays later Bob Ramer, fleet Woodward tailback, took a Cowboy punt on his own 25 and returned it 75 yards for a score. Perfect interference formed for him as he moved through the bewildered opposition. McKenzie converted and the score stood 7-7 as the quarter closed. During the second and third cantos the teams fought on fairly even terms. The Bears' defense weakened in the last quarter and Reiger scored on suc- cessive line plunges. Minutes before the game ended, Hershland broke loose and counted for another Libbey score. The Bears looked improved in every fundamental of the game and it looks like the Woodward cheering section will see some fine ball and a lot more scoring before the season is very much under way. Polar Bear Lightweight Squad Opens Season Against Central The Woodward lightweight football team will open their 1940, season to' night against the Central reserves. Coach Bill Fetters has been drilling his team on the fundamentals of good blocking and tackling in preparing the boys for next years varsity squad. This year's reserves are a little bigger than last year's squad and should make a good showing against the other schools. The starting line-up has not yet been decided. Coach Fetters will pick eleven of the seventeen before the game starts, George Sanderson, Dick Mitchell, and Ray Breske, guardsg Jim Baumer and Bernard Langton, tacklesg Marvin Butcher, Irvin Wiesniewski, Paul Hole- winski, and Lee Tucker, ends, and Ed Sloan, Bill Santus, Eustazewski, Tom Boggs, Sylvester Golembewski, Ray Komasinski,and Jack Measly, backs. Any student wishing to see these lightweight games may do so as they are free. Let's back our sports program l00 per cent. ,,i...ll- Boys' Gym Classes Under Way With Different Schedules Woodward freshmen in single A gym classes have started with soccer and pass and tap football. The classes are divided into two groups. One group will spend two weeks on one activity and then will alternate to the other. Many changes have been made in the achievement tests. The high-jump has been eliminated and the broad jump substituted for it. In the basket- ball dribble, the chair around which the player dribbles has been moved ten feet nearer the basket. ln past years, while doing the base- ball pitch, the gym students threw six balls with the first being a practice ball. Homer Hanham has rearranged this so that now the best five out of the six thrown will count. This will, be thinks, raise the score and give the poorer players an equal chance to compete with the better throwers. Incidently, all .Double A gym stu- QE . 270 Activities Tickets Remain To Be Sold, N-ext Events Oct. 4 By the beginning of the third week of school 730 of the 1000 activities tick- ets have been sold. 270 more tickets remain to be sold.

Football Class Conducted By Jack Taylor To Help Players In order to keep our football heroes in the top line-up when the grade cards come out for the first time, Coach Jack Taylor has organized a football class which meets seventh hour in room 119. Mixed in with the regular courses, the boys have a certain number of plays to study and learn. Many of the boys have admitted that their work seems easier since they study together. Students Sell Football Pins Robert Kozlowski, Sophie Zalewski' Virginia Malaska, Thelma Frimark, Al- vira Hider, Martha Rutkowski, Lillian Kosman, Dorothy Watson, Virginia Clark, Betty Gang, and Virginia Lubia- towski sold football pins Friday, Septem- ber 20, at the mass meeting held before the Libbey game.

Senior Grils Vote For Drapes White background and drapes were voted for senior girls' pictures at a specialmeeting held last Monday, Sept- ember23, at the beginning of second hour. Mr.Fleck, photographer from the Photo Reflex studio at LaSalle and Koch, spoke to the girls. COACH AND QUARTERBACK A good looking fellow of five feet, elev- en inches, and weighing 180 pounds, hav- ing blue eyes, wavy hair, and an infec- tious grin, who goes by the name of John Henry Taylor, is the subject of this in- terview. Coach Taylor states that last year at Fort Wayne the team made a very dis- appointing showing, and that they will try to redeem themselves at this game. Next to football, Mr. Taylor likes read- ing, travel, biographies, history, and fic- tion. Toledo claims the honor of being his birthplace. He attended William Raymond Rior- dan prep school in Highland,New York before entering Syraouse College. This summer Jack took the greatest step in life, in other words, he got hitched. The lucky girl was Miss Jane C. Lewis, whom he met and went to school with at Syracuse. She was a school teacher too, having taught phys- ical education. Mr. Taylor says that football takes most of his time so he hasn't time for many social events. He informs us that 10D-,W M Y Bob Myneder---Height 5 feet IOL6 inches, weight 172 lbs. Bob is a strappling young senior lad and one of the vital parts of our varsity squad. Bob's position is quarterback. He belongs to no clubs and oddly enough has no special hobbies. Bob says he has no love interests, but we are slightly doubtful. As to his opinion of Woodward's girls he states nonchalantly, Oh, the same as always, I guess. When asked what he intended to do after leaving high school Bob said that he hoped to go to college and be- come a great quarterback. Besides football this year, Bob in- tends to participate in basketball, bowling, baseball, and possibly track. Bob's favorite teacher is J. K. Grodi. Mr. Grodi teaches business principles. Incidently we learned that he doesn't like history very well. When asked for his opinion of our team he stated, ul think that the team is much improved over last year. With Be Chalked Up By Woodward Woodward Polar Bears jo u r n e y to Fort Wayne, Indiana, for a battle with that team on Saturday, September 28. Game time is 2:30 with the players going by bus to the hoosier town. Being favored despite some disadvan- ta ges, the Bears will be Hghting against a team that has a ten-pound weight ad- vantage per man. Chalked up against, the show the home eleven made against Libbey last week this shouldn't bother them much. As Fort Wayne is a basketball town, an aerial attack from the opponent is expected with many breath-taking slings being put down in the record book. Woodward will use a mixed attack against the sparkmen from lndiana.The defense, which, incidentally, held Lib- bey to a 7-7 tie for three quarters of a hard fought game, will again be sported for the cash cust0mer's thrill. VVood- ward will be out to avenge last year's poor showing against the same team. -Playing the Hoosier South Siders since 254, Woodward has lost twice, in '36 and '37, and tied twice, in '35 and' 39 All the rest are victories well to the credit of Woodward High. So far, the North Enders have divided their wins on a 50-50 proposition. They have a win over Bryan and a loss to Libbey. The Hoosiers will be hot shots com- ing from an electrical town, but despite their live wires, they are picked to be grounded by the Woodward eleven. Probable lineup for Woodward will be Koster and Prycbyz, ends, Crosby and Rawski, tacklesg McKensie and Tucker, guards, Fritch, center, Myne- der, quarterback, Raczko, fullback, and Rarner at halfback. First Mass Meeting Visited By Libbey Coach And Players Woodward's first mass meeting of the season got under way Thursday with a record turnout of more than 1200 students. Tom Mariivell, freshman, was chosen as new cheer leader to fill the vacancy left by Clarence Krohne who graduated last year. He and his com- petitor for the position both led yells and the students' applause elected Tom. Principal C. C. La Rue gave a pre- liminary speech and then introduced Coach Bill Orwig of Libbey. Coach Orwig in turn introduced his two tackles, Ash, the captain of the Libbey team, and Pizza, who is substitute captain. Ash gave a short talk. The Woodward crew was presented by Coach Jack Taylor who gave a little talk about each member of the team. As an added attraction music for the mass meeting was presented in a. fine manner by the Three Deacons. The three versatile young men from Waite were received with much ,en- thusiasm. Girls Start Recreations With Schlag Ball, Soccer, Hockey Changing the system of three types of specialized gym, recreational, major sports, and dancing, freshman girls will start with schlag ball, sophomores with soccer, and junior and senior girls hockey.

One ofthe eight new faculty members, Miss Rutz teaches freshmanEnglish and art. She studied at Libbey and the Uni- versity of Toledo. Supplementing her art study, she also took four years of work at the Toledo Museum of Art. Learning to ice skate on the old canal is still her favorite sport al though tennis and swimming are also tops with her. When asked what she thought of surrealism, the young art teacher re- plied quickly, I don't. However, she c o n s i d e r s much of the modern art- worth thoughtful consideration. .During the summer, Miss Rutz vaca- tloned at Miama Beach. ,,,Math Instructor Interviewed Before coming to Woodward, Mrs. Jessie J. Burgett, the new general math and algebra teacher, taught at Oakdale Junior High School. Woodward, from my point of view, seems to be very nice, and l like teach- ing freshmen, said Mrs. Burgett, a graduate of Waite High School and Ohio State University. 2,Dancing, ice skating, and attending football games are among her, favorite pastimes. She is also very interested In music and she modestly claims she plays the piano. Theme Of New Mural to Be Americanization, Democracy Plans for a mural depicting Amer- icanization and Democracy, to be projected on the walls of the art room, 335, are now being formulated by the 20 members of Miss June Anderson's fourth year class. All members will submit their ideas for the project and the best Ones will be printed on the walls. Second and third year art classes are sketching out of doors.

Cleaner building during lunch hours. Calling All Drivers VERY DAY the lives of teachers, football players, track team members,and students on bicycles are endan gered by the thoughtless speed demons who race through the back service entrance drive. Surely, if the student drives would stop to think about the lives they imperil, this drive would not be so hazardous! This drive has been provided for the purpose of providing a place for the delivery of goods and an entrance to the parking place on this side of the building. This drive is not a race track! Why Linger? TAYING in the halls is one of those things that is entirely uncalled for. It is one of those bad habits developed by many students. The only possible reasons of these students would be to loaf around, to make funny remarks to the people pass- ing by, and to roam around in groups for the pur- pose of frightening the smaller students. Of course, this in itselfis not essentially harmful, but the feel- ing of these large empty halls many times induces some of the rougher element to burglarize. After all, it should take but a few minutes to com- pletly clear the building of all but a few teachers, students, and workers compelled to remain by ne- cessity. Let's Hear The Noon Movies BUSING a privelege is something th a t is al- most unforgivable, The noon movies are being shown during both lunch hours for the enter- tainment, convenience, and enjoyment of every stu- dent in Woodward. No one likes to pay his money to sit in a theater and not hear what is going on. A complaint would instantly be brought to the attention of the manager. Yet, there is a minority of students who go to the noon movies with the express purpose of creating a bedlam. T h is minority t h at delights in talking, throwing paper, and annoying others, ruin s the movies for everyone else. Let's black ball these nuisances and all contrib- ute to making the movies something we all can en- JOY- Again this year we will have a Hall of Fame. This week we nominate to the Hall of Fame the ambitious students that clean up the auditorium after the hoodlurns dirty it.

Any intelligent person who reads this v pamphlet must be convinced that the democratic way of life is the only satis- factory one. However, the democratic ideal was not attained We have our government established .X ., 31 7. L V ,. X g by chance. upon the firm pr i n c i p le s enumerated by our Declaration of Independence, our Ordinance of 1787, our Constitution, and other important documents, which grew out of difficulties encountered by our forefathers in establishing the original colonies and furthering their economic growth. The pamphlet mentioned above is very clear in stating that if we are to preserve our democracy it must be through an intelligent citizenship which can come only through universal education. They quote the following from the Scholastic Magazine: Out of every 100 Americans of adult age seven are still illiterate, thirty-four have completed a few years of elementary school work, twenty-seven have completed the eighth grade, eighteen have done some high school work, while only six are high school graduates, four have had some College work, and just two are college graduates. Not a very good showing for the furthering of the democratic way of life. All you boys and girls enrolled have a splendid opportunity offered you to complete your education and enjoy the blessings of democracy which have been prepared for you. You should be willing to work hard and make sacrifices if necessary to com- plete your education. Begin now. HEX Her First Game Gee, amI excited.

Why doesn't he go hunting some place else? My did you see him kick that ball? I wish you were as strong as that ,Hubert Oh, look that man down there caught it. Why doesn't he let the other fellow have it? He doesn't play fair. Oh, that man jumped on him. He's hurt. Gee, that ball must be valuable when they almost kill each other for it. Gosh, Hubert, that man doesn't play fair either. He jumped right in front of that man that was go- ing to catch the ball and took it away. Now look he's running away with it. He's knocking all those poor men down. Why does everybody just stand there and yell at him? Why don't they do some- thing about it? Oh my, he ran through those posts and stopped and nobody is doing anything to him. If they didn't want the ball in the first plce, why were they chasing him? And there's that man shooting that gun again. Now they're carrying that man that stole the ball on their shoulders. Oh, they're all crazy. I'm going home. Now You Know Just in case you're wondering why the members of the Saga staff look like cats who've swallowed canaries--l'll tell you, it's 'cause they had their pic- tures taken by the Times photographer.

Was It Murder? Howling through a crooked alley, a cold sheet of wind swept around a dark, sinister house which fairly shook with each blast. Our hero gravely clambered up the rotting step and entered the dim hallway. As he looked around, he was startled by the rattle of ancient shutters. Everywhere the wind found an echo, in shadowy doorways, broken win- dow glass, and even in the moldy damp cellar. Our hero was again startled when the recesses of the century old mansion resounded with a gentle pit pat of penetrating rain which steadily increased in volume to the symphony of blinding lightning and crashing thunder. Suddenly the carpeted stair- way, frayed with age, squeaked mornfully as slip- pered feet glided softly downword. Only the pale feet of the monstercould be seen by our undaunted hero. Creeping down the long well of a stairway,it suddenly crouched and leaped high in the air and pounced. Oh, imagination is funny and ours has already given out, so until those little rain cells get off the W.P.A. you'll never know.

WAYNE EN COUN TER Woodward Is Outclassed By South Side As They Triumph 16-0 - An over-confident Polar eleven trav eled to Fort Wayne Saturday and bow- ed to an under rate South Side squad, 16-0. The Woodward forward wall was smothered under every South attack. It appeared as though the Bears didn't care for any football that day. Woodward won the toss and Mc' Kenzie kicked olf to open the game. On the third play of the game the Fort Wayne tail back broke through the left side of the Woodward line and raced 65 yards for the first score. The conver- sion was good. After a return of punts, Myneder, attempting to kick, was trap- ped in the end zone, giving South a safety. In the remaining quarter of the first half Ft. Wayne maintained the of- fensive punch and had the Polar Bears on the run. The Bears however, man-. aged to hold South from further scor ing. Woodward's lone scoring chance came in the second half when Koster blocked a south punt and recovered on the former's 18 yard line. The Bears, however, lacking the ight they had shown in former games, muliied the chance and gave up the ball on downs. In the same quarter Fort Wayne managed to push overanother touch- down, when Myneder's pass was inter- cepted on the Woodward six yard line. On the next play South accounted for the score on a lateral pass around left end. The attempt at conversion was good. Bob Ramer, shifty Polar Bear back, was injured and will not be in uniform for several weeks.

FULLBACK, COMEBACK, QUESTIONED Put me down for chicken, said Bob Ramer, speedy Woodward back when questioned as to his favorite food. Bob first graced this world on a blustery October 21, in 1922. He imme- diately shouted, I wanna play foot- ball, And so he's played football for most of his life. Bob started his football career on the sand lots and later as a freshman he played ball for Woodward. His sophomore year, Shifty was moved up to first-string lightweights and from then on he was varsity bound playing both his junior and senior years. Softball comes next for me, he stat- ed when asked about other sports. He shyly said he uwasnit so hot but he was good enough to win a bearth on the Hi-Speed squad. Virginia.

Woodward Reserves Down Irish In Hard Fought Battle The Bear lightweight squad got off to to a good start last Friday when they defeated Central 6-0 on foreign ground. Halewinski made the only touchdown on a chmpleted pass from Goliemieski in the fourth quarter. Woodward made fifteen 'drst downs to Central's one.The Irish crossed the forty yard line once in the whole game, but it was only on a recovered fumble. W o o d w a r d was inside their op- ponents' ten yard line five times but was unable to score until the last quar- ter. The Bear lineup was as follows:Hole- winski, left end, Ballmer, left tackle Mit- chell, left guardgJagodzwiski, right tac. kle, Wisniewski, right end, Boggs, quar- ter back, Sloan, halfbackg Goliembewski, halfbackg and Ustazewski, fullback.

Although Woodward has one win and two defeats against Waite's three victories, the game will be no push ov- er for the tomahawk team. Last week, Waite beat Sandusky in a hard fought game with the b r e w e r s from the bay. In three games, the glass blowers from the East Side have never been scored upon and have rung up better than 90 points on their oppo- nents. The home team lost to Fort Wayne last Saturday in a ight against a heavy team. The Bears had a disadvantage in that they were the invading team. For the coming e n c o u nt e r, the North Enders will be without the valuable services of Bob Ramer, back, who re- ceived severe arm injuries in the Fort Wayne tilt.

Class Room Clippings Miss Blanche Hazelton has a grand idea for helping the girls in her home living classes. Each girl is given a number which she uses throughout the year in asking personal questions. Miss Hazelton answers to the number and so no one knows, not even Miss Hazelton, whg hadsfaskedk the question. Some of the pupils in Mr. Myron Skinnerls second hour bookkeeping class may have wondered what the little brown bottle contains that the pupils so often use. That, my wonder- ing ones, is ink eradicator. Everything was okay until Mr. Skinner began to take off for erasing. :lf Pk FK Miss Betty Nelson's room will soon be turned into a doghouse.

New Footballs To Be Used i A new type football has been pur chased for experimentation by the boys gym classes, under supervision of Art Smith and Homer Hanham. The new football is constructed of materials similar to those in a bicycle tire. It is official size and weight. It is made of corded vulcanized rubber and it has no bladder. It is a completely seamless football. This new type of football is being tes- ted to see if it will be as practical in use as the pigskin football, now in use. C.G. LaRue Requests Playing Of National Anthem In School In conjunction with a nation-wide patriotic movement, Charles C. LaRue has requested the playing of the Na- tional Anthem whenever possible after every assembly period and the mimeo- graphing of it for distribution to each pupil. This plan has also been indorsed by E. L. Bowsher, superintendent of the public schools. Mayor John Q. Carey issued a proc lamation: simultaneous to Mr. LaRue's request. The following is the text of the proclamation: I hereby request that in all places of entertainment or other meetings where music is a part of the program, the ex- ercise be closed by the playing of the National Anthem. I further call upon all citizens to pay the honor of a salute to the Ameri- can Flag wherever it is carried in any procession? Bears Bow To Strong Cross Country Team From Waite Wooodward bowed down to VVaite's strong cross-country track team by a score of 21-37. McDonald, Waite's top man, placed first and established anew record in North-western Ohio by run- ning in 10:06. Lynch, another Waite man, ran the course in 10:21 to place second. Woodward's scoring men were Gern- heuser, Cukierski, Jaschke, Malko, and Cramer, who finished third, sixth, sev- enth, tenth, and eleventh respectively. Bill Gernheuser set a new record for Woodward by running the Ottawa Park course in 10:26. Art Klan Initiation Held The annual Art Klan initiation was held Friday, September 27, 1940 at the Wilson Park shelter house. There were twenty-four new members, consisting of twelve boys and twelve girls. Marjorie May was chairman of the affair. H GYM INSTRUCTOR I BREAKS SILENCE Mrs. Lois Draves, Girl's Gym Teacher, Is Great Hobbyist Finding an unusual pleasure in watch- ing her husband polish shootin'-irons, Mrs. Lois Draves, the new gym teacher for girls, also enjoys accompanying him on hunting trips in order to look after their three dogs, Blackie, Chant, and Lady. Among her other hobbies Mrs. Draves li s t s badminton, swim- ming, and tennis, which seem quite appropriate for a gym instructress. One thing I like about Woodward is the cooperative manner of the girls, Mrs. Draves remarked. She went on to explain that she thought the teacherse were very friendly. After gra in xting from Arnold Colleg New Havan, Connecticut, Mrs. Draves taught at Waite. Her travels include motor trips to the Atlaniic coast, New York City, the Smokey Mountains, and Chicago. How- ever, no travelling was done this sum- mer, for said Mrs. Draves, Moving oc- cupied practically all of my time. She spoke proudly of her two children, Barbara Jean, three years old, and Sally Ann, ten months. Playlet Presented At the mass meeting held yesterday morning for the Waite - Woodward game, the Junior - Senior Friendship club presented a playlet in the form of a letter from an editor. Lila Luther and shirley McLean were in charge of directing the action while Mrs. Eula Upp, adviser of the Sopho- more group handled the musical direc- tion. Mrs. Dorothy Matheny is adviser for the junior-senior girls. Mitch Sahadi Wins A Ticket To Woodward-Waite Tussle Evidently every person in Woodward but Mitch Sahadi expected the Polar Bears to swamp the Fort Wayne team, because his guess of Fort Wayne 12, Woodward 7, was the 'closest anyone came to guessing the 16-0 score. For his marvelous gift of being able to peer into the future, by his tremen- dous feat of prognostication, in fact for all of the marvelous powers he must have in his possession, the Woodward Tattler, commonly know as rag, is pre- senting him with one free piece of card- board with printing on it that will en- title him to enter unhampered the por- tals of Waite Stadium on that momen- tous eve when the Bears attempt to halt the East-siders' winning streak.

Some of these pupils have even joined before they grad- uated from school. Now that the National De- fense Program is in full swing, more and more high school students are joining the National ' Guard or any other di- vision of the Army or Navy for which they are qualified. These pupils deserve congratulations from both fac- ulty and student body for rushing to the defense of their country. Every week the Tattler will print Wood- ward's Honor Roll giving the name, year they enlisted, and the branch of service these students have chosen. Donald Zygula---1940---Navy.

PRIZE WINNING ESSAY All students who are taking English were required to write an essay on Clean Halls , Clean Auditorium , or Clean Cafeteria . Those pnpils in the senior English classes, instructed by Mrs. Hazel Mc- Manamon, whose essays placed first are: Laura Meyer, Clean Hall, Florence Morman, Clean Auditorium, and Dorthy Dyer, Clean Cafeteria- The essay on A Clean Cofeteria follows. Others will be printed in future issue. A Clean Cafeteria Although all parts of the school should Ee kept cgean, lslpecial efnphasi? should e p ace on t e c ean iness o the caifeteria where our food is prepar- ed an eaten. The large enrolment of Woodward necessitates a division of the student body into two parts, each having its own lunch hour. Those who eat in the first lunch period fare well as they come to a cafeteria which is clean and free from waste and remains of several hundred lunches. But those in the second lunch division are not nearly so fortunate. They End theifloor, and oc- asionally some tables, littered with papers, empty milk bottles, partially eaten fruit, loose powder' hair, and soil- ed lipstick tissues remains from some- one's hurried touch-upn. This sight is not tempting, to say the least. And' if for no other reason than a selish reason for keeping the cafeteria clean, one should do it to safeguard his own health. For certainly it is not healthly to have this refuse lying about, wfhere it atitracts flies and produce an o ensive o or. If everyone would be responsible for disposing of his own waste and use the cafeteria for eating only, even those who have nfth hour lunch wfouldhaye F- LURDS T0 HEAD K SR.

Bob Martin Americanism ITH A threat to United States democracy in the form of dictators in Europe, Americans now, even more so than during the World War, are realizing and appreciating the advantages offered to the average citizen. People who other- wise Wouid dismiss it as worthless spending are buying p at rio t i c emblems, jewlery, and colors, thereby proclaiming their joy in living in the land of the free. This patriotism could be termed as true Amercanism, but in reality it doesn't go quite far euough. Americanism means being proud of such great men as Lincoln, Washington, and other historic leaders. It means understanding why people stand up when the national anthem is sung and to view Old Glory. It means the right to debate national questions and to c h 0 o s e one's political party. It means freedom of speach, freedom of press, and of other constitutional rights. So all of you Americans who have to the present time passed off Americanism as another surplus word, just be glad that you live in a country where such surplus words as Americanism may still be invented. Support Thin Clads EW OF US would pass up the opportunity of seeing our football or basketball teams in ac- tion. These two sports draw throngs of stud- ents and stimulate all the school spirit we are capable of giving. Our cross-country squad, al- though one ofthe best in the city, strangely enough, does not attract many Woodwardites. The thin-clad meets are mostly held at Ottawa Park which is no harder to reach than the Libbey or DeVilbiss stadiums. Besides this, the meets are open for anyone to watch and there are no tickets to buy. Our cross-country team captured the city title two years ago and big things are expected of them this year. Let's all attend these meets and give the squad all the student support that they deserve. Consider Others HEN some people do something which is not entirely honest, they never think of the effect it may have on some other people who have good intentions and must suffer as a con- sequence. You must know we are referring to the lunch- pass situation. Some students who had their own selfish purposes upper most in mind never stopped to consider just what would happen to the people that lived close enough to the school so that they were enabled to go home to lunch easily. Now, in- stead of going home to a good warm meal they must carry their lunch. To many students this is an extra expense so they are just out of luck. We would have a better world to live in if people thought less of themselves and more of the other people around them. Don't Drop Behind NE DOLLAR due on my activities book October 18. Oh well, that's seven whole days away. Iill start saving my allowence next week. But next week something else arises and then comes the day of reckoning, October 18. We suddenly realize that we didnit save our allowance, so we get behind on our payments. When the next day for payment comes, being unable to make two payments in one we drop farther behind. This continues until the sad owner of the ac- tivities book and the athletic director decides the best policy is to turn in the book. After partially paying for our ticket, any one of us hates to lose the rest of it After all, it pays to keep your install- ments up to date, as they are made in reasonably small amounts which, when paid singly, offers no great burden for anyone.

Tags You can always tell a freshman by the nice green tag he wears. Ain't it the truth? These get-acquainted week tags sure do suit the various classmen. For instance green you-know-the-freshman.

You guessed it, he found her wearing a white tag. Connected with these tags is the simple way to get acquainted with a beautiful girl. The system works thus---Boy walks up to girl of his dreams. Hello you sigh. Scram, she counters. Don't let this stop you. Follow her around and when that big Senior she goes with picks a iight---take her first suggestion and scram.

Woodward scored first on a pass from Puls to Loucks in the end zone, but failed to kick the extra point. Central came back to score a few minutes later on a long run around Woodward's left end. Failure to convert tied it at 6 all until in the middle of the fourth quart- er when Woodward scored again on an end run by Puls. Again failing to get the needed point by placement, the game ended 12-6. The first year boys who performed well on the line were: Loucks, Piasecki, Paradepz, Bovia, Daniels, Rabbitt, Rych- leuski, Rydman, Parish, Utaszewski, Norman, Komisarek, and Abood. Those who got in the game and saw action in the backfield were: Studniew- ski, Puls, Pompili, Malinowski, Juski, Hart, and Dauer. Cubs Hold Scott Scoreless To Garner Second Straight Win Hitting pay dirt for 6 points in both the first and fourth quarters, our Bear cubs invaded the kennels of the Scott pups, and swamped them, 12-0. The contest was a very even, hard fought aifair,with the breaks falling the Bears'way. Woodward's Brat score came as Ustagewski's forward lateral to Wisniewski to Golembewski clicked for a tally in the first canto. Half-way in t h e fo rt h p e rio d, Golembiewski took a Scott punt on his own goal line and rac ed 95 yards before he was dropped from behind by Drayton. On the next pl a y, another donble lateral from Ustagewski to Wisniewski ended with B re n t scoring. The try for the conversion failed.

This was the third loss for the Bears, their lone victory being against Bryan. After Siebenaller returned Myneder's punt to Wooqward's 22, Bnrnpus, power- ful Waite back, charged through the line to score the first touchdown. Baker's conversion was good. A dive by White from the 16 yard line and a 61 stripe dash by Siebenaller, account- ed for the other two Indian scores in the Brst quarter. Three more markers, plus four conversions, shoved Waite high into the lead as the half ended, bringing the score to 40-0. Strengthening of the Bears defense and the tireing of Waite's line held the Indians to a gain of only 14 points in the third canto. Bumpus and Timmons added the 14 points. The East-siders were held to no gain in scoring in the last period. The line-up was: WAITE POS. WOODVVARD Brockman L. E. Koster Rideout L. T. McKenzie Mang L. G. Crosby Poole C.

Second Contest Of Early Season ,gm ?5 i i C 'l M ,-,. ,pi ' P Jake Pryzbysz A riddled Polar Bear grid squad left for Marion, Ohio, today to b a ttl e Marion Harding High School this even- ing at 8:15. Dispite the injuries received ln the Waite encounter, Woodward is favored to win the contest. After being run over by a powerful Waite team, the Bears will be seeking revenge at the expense of Marion Hard- ing. However, Harding has nine letter men back and the going will be plenty tough. Marion also holds a slight edge in weight. Aside from these differences, both teams will go out on th e Held rather evenly matched. A Woodward's ace halfback, is still out of uniform and will not be in action to- night. The Bears will also be handicap- ed by the absence of Jim Tucker and Jack Raymer, who were injured las t week.

An alert young lady with brown hair, green eyes, who stands 5 feet 5 inches and tips the scales at 120 pounds--- and is glad of it. Laura is 17 years old, her last birth- day falling on Friday, 13, was not un- lucky. Miss Meyers chief interest is dramatics but she also likes dancing and reading. Laura's favorite sports are walking and, what she calls, ice skating. George Rohrer, French teacher, and French complete her list of favorites. Lolly also likes to go on roasts. A piece of pumpkin pie with whipped cream will make you tops with her. Her inseparable chums are Irene Ko- linski and Betty Gajewskl. When ask- ed if she had any heart interests, Laura quickly replied, The object of my affec- tions doesn't even know Iexistf' Laura states, My friends think I'm a screw- ball, and strangers think I'm a snobf' But we'll assure you, there's not a word of truth in it. Laura is a member of the French club and Periclean Literary Society. JOE MALIKOWSKI, senior and cir- culation manager of the Saga, is the object of curiosity for this weekls Tattler readers. Caught in the midst ofa phys- ics class, Joe shyly Q71 responded to the numerous questions fired at him. Bud', as he is often called, was:born June 25, 1923, in Toledo, Ohio. His 5feet 9 inches of good looks and personality attaract the girls, although Joe claims he has no favorite. For further descrip- tion -- his beautiful locks are brown: those sparkling eyes carry a tint of az- ure. Before coming to Woodward, Joe attended Parkland School. He has no preferred subject. Although swimming is his favorite sport, this senior likes to dance, and Tommy Dorsey rates as super. He is a member of the Alchemist and Municipal clubs, indulges in a kind cw' piano playing called Boogie oogie, - an d participates in a drum and bugle corps. When asked to make a statement, the circulation manager of the Saga said, We are doing our best to make this Saga the best so it will please the kids, if everone cooperates, it will satisfy everbody, and will also b e a financial success. Vox Pop I Dear Editor, Don't you think it's silly the way students act whenever we have a fire drill? Instead of filing quickly and quiet- ly from the building, they shout and shove, push and pull, and generally make a mess of what should be a quick, quiet evacuation ofthe school. Then too, some students who get out before the others, walk a short dis- tance from the school and stop dead. Before they move on they must be shouted at and sometimes forcibly re- moved from the scene of action. All this takes time and causes more unneces- sary confusion. We students are in high school now and are considered children no longer, so why act like a group of mor- ons and give ourselves away. R.W. Dear Editor, After attending several football games this year, and seeing how the students react to our national anthem, I think it's about time something was said. I don't know how others feel, but I feel that it's a privilege to sing The Star Spangled Banner. It a student can't sing, the least he can do is to listen quietly. A smothered laugh here and there, Oh, I don't know the wordsfand alfe-w voices going strong, paints a fairly vivid picture of the Woodward stands at the Waite game when the combined bands 1 d. p aye Senior Dear Editor, I want to commend those pupils who so honestly returned the articles lost this year. Of course, the sound system has helped to promote the honesty of students, but, nevertheless, these 'kids' deserve the special mention for doing such praiseworthy deeds. It shows, contrary to some people's popular belief, that education -really plrys an important part in building the character of the pupils and making better citizens of them.

Winning pupils of each class will be awarded a prize of a twenty-five cent lunch in the school cafeteria. The essay on Clean Auditorium writ- ten by Florence Morman,senior,follows. Others will be printed in future issues. Clean Auditorium The auditorium is more like our sit' ting room at home than any other part of the schoolbuilding. In our Sunday parlor we usually gather for dress-up occassions. It is here where we receive our guests and really enjoy ourselves. Thus it is in the auditorium at school. We gather here for special lectures, meetings, plays, and all sorts of enter- ainment. Our visitors are brought here where they are entertained or help to entertain. After pointing out the close relation- ships of the two rooms mentioned above, one must admit that it is absolutely essential that the auditorium be kept as clean as possible. Dirty iioors make a bad impression on o u t sid er s. And what about yourself? Surely you care something, even t h o u g h it be little, about 'he place in which you live, other than your home! Clean auditoriums should not only be so for appearance---sanitation is an im- portant part of our lives. S ta tis ti c s prove that clean environment produces clean citizens. May each and every student in this our high school help to keep the audi- torium clean so as to enjoy the hours spent here and live up to the standards of good, clean American citizens.

School Nnrse Gives Helpful Hints On Caring For Colds This is the time of the year for y0l1T first common coldg therefore, if y0l1 think you are coming down with one, Miss Hazel Coy suggests you try these health hints. At the first sign fo a cold, take one half teaspoonful of soda in a glass of water every two or three hours and take a saline laxative before you go to bed at night. Also, you should eat plen- ty of fruit at this time. If you seem to have a temperature along with your cold, stay at home and in bed. Always dress according to the weath- er and try not to get your feet wet. To help throw off a cold, get plenty of sleep. If cold does not react to home rem- edies in two or three days, consult your family physician.

Marries At Cathedral October 12 l Mrs. William Smith In a ceremony of simple beauty and dignity, Miss Marian McDonough, former Woodward history teacher and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Bernard McDonough, became the bride of William Francis Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Joseph Smith, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, Saturday, October 12, at 10 a.m. in the newly ded- icated Holy Rosary Cathedral. The Reverend William Sullivan per- formed the ceremony in the presence of a large number of guests among whom the Woodward faculty numbered many. White gladioli interspersed with fern plants formedfthe alter decorations along with the cathedral candelabra. During the course of the nuptial Mass, Arthur Denny, choir singer, sang Ave Maria. Wedding Apparell To the strains of a wedding march the bride on the arm of her father gracefully walked down the long aisle with her bridsmaid, Miss Kathleen McDonough, leading the procession. Royal blue crepe formed the ankle length gown of the bride with a draped front falling from a metal s tu d d e d girdle. The draped effect was furthered by a V-neckline and long sleeves. A matcking blue visor type of hat com- pleted the outfit. Herfflowers were fash ioned into a colonial bouquet of Talisman roses centerd with a cluster of yellow chrysanthemums. Miss Kathleen McDonough was her sister's only attendant. Her gown was of russet taifeta with a bouifant skirt featuring russet velvet insets, a high neckline, and short sleeves. Miss Mc- Donough's headpiece was similar to that of the bride but in a shade matching her dress. She also carried a colonial ar- rangement ofwhite roses and a chrysan- themum center. Reception Held Clarence Kellermier served Mr. Smith as best man. Mrs. McDonough, mother of the bride, chose for the occasion a black crepe afternoon frock with a silver fox neck- piece. Her corsage was of orchids. Following the ceremony a breakfast was held at the Commodore Perry Hotel and a reception from l to 3 p. m in the McDonough home on Colling- wood Boulevard. Mr. and Mrs. Wiliam Francis Smith left for a trip through Canada and the New England states before going to. New York where they will reside.

If not, what other explanation can there be for such behavior as that which stu- dents display up town after games? The noise, the crazy driving, and the many other reckless feats of bravery performed by many people who should know better is a black mark against the schools of Toledo. This every game night a New Year's Eve night is beginning to wear upon the citizens of the city as well as the faculty of the schools. Going up town after games is all right as long as it isn't carried too far. Let's all make a solemn pledge to reform from this day on. How about it? It's Only i Six Hours GAIN THE OLD, old story of bumming school arises. Surely nothing new can be said, aside from these well known facts: First, it costs the Board of Eduction over one hundred dollars per year per student. If a student attends school about 50 per cent of the time he is foolishly wasting someone else's time and---his own opportunity. Second, of the twenty-four hours in a single day, only six are spent at school, and certainly the know- ledge gained is worth the effort to attend classes. So, why not be a good sport and spend these few remaining years in school. You have an entire life time ahead of you for working, loanng, or what- ever overcomes the call of the classroom. Be a regular. Don't Ruin The Lockers UR school lockers are the property of the Board of Education and are furnished free of charge for the use of the students. Without these lockers, coats, books, and other belongings would have to be carried to every class, creating confusion and general dissatisfaction. To the students who take delight in banging and marring lockers we say, why attempt to destroy that which was placed there for your benefit? Lockers with paint scratched and covered with pencil marks hardly add to the appearance of the building. The condition of a locker also redects the habits of the student using it. In the future let's remember about the lockers and also that it really shows ignorance to run around the halls banging lockers just for the fun of it. Too bad there's a restriction on use of the Tattler pegples names. They do getvaround. PRINCIPAL POINTS 1 I Hass AND russia I Charles R. Hook, President of the American Rolling Mills at Middletown, :,: S ,,,, Ohio, has a significant little article in ,. the current American Magazine. He recalls the disastrous floods of 1913 which some of us older people still A remember vividly. The city of Middle- town was almost washed away. What remained after the waters receded was covered with slime and filth. Many people despaired of ever cleaning it up and the fear of pestilence cast its shadow over the whole city. However, there were many courageous citizens that were willing to work and work hard to clean up the place. Lawyers, merchants, bankers, all kind of artisans took up shovels and shoulder to shoulder cleaned up after the flood and started to repair the damage. Today it is finer and 'more b e a u t i ful than ever, thanks to the cooperative efforts of its citizens. We have had similar examples of the power of cooperation in our own city. As individuals we are powerless in certain undertakings, but as a whole united community working for a common cause nothing is impossible. Then there is a spirit of comradeship in work as well as in play that is stimulating in any kind of group effort. Those men who worked so hard to clean up their city came to know, understand, and respect each other's View points. No other type of contact could give the same results. That is why we urge all boys and girls as well as their teachers to learn this valuable lesson while members of this great school organizationg learn to think of this school as our school in the full- est sense of the word. Oar most valuable experi- ences are the results of cooperative effort in trying to achieve the best things for all. K . 2 Y r 4 , '. x ,aw 115 A HEX What They Wanted To Be Unforseen events have often changed the course of a man's life. Such was the case of Floyd Lords. He wanted to be a civil engineer but something hap- pened and as a consequence, he's a teacher. But not to his regret. Mr. Lords was quoted as saying I en- joy teaching general science. It's forever changing. Howard Phipps aspired to be a doctor but he did not get his wish and he is now teaching Latin. Jack Taylor could have chosen either medicine or physi- cal education as a p ro f e s s io n, but something occurred and teaching now is the job. But two teachers have always aspired to be teach- ers. Mrs. Eula Upp had wanted to be a math teacher since a sophmore in high school. She revealed that her geometry teacher's iniiuence was a great factor in determing her career. But Mrs. Lucille Farrell can go back even further into her childhood. She can tell about the time when she used to play school with the girl next door. She was a second grader then.

Suddenly Study sneezed, startling the six slumberous sophomores who subsequently scramd- leb from their slouchy status, having succombed to steady snoring. The stuttering schoolmaster ceased his scribbling and strutted to the seats of the star- tled snoozers. He sarcastically stated the super- most punishment to succeed their superdous slum- bering. So ---- these silly sophomores who sacrificed their study for a snoozs, slaved after school for the studies they slighted so slyly.

Of -course I got a perfect score. Then I hap- pilly skipped to English, where we had a test on short stories and it, too, was just a breeze. I had Chemistry third hour. That metric systym is just as easy as ABC. I simply canit undertsaud why so many kids don't get it. Ah! An hour for lunch and I was just famished. I decided I'd order fried chicken and mashed pota- toes, that was just a starter of course. That apple pie alamode surely was delicious. Fifth hour study and not a thing to do f as if that could happen? so I went to the library to read. Sixth hour I gladly went to Latin because translating Cicero is so easy and yet so interesting. Seventh hour I had American government, but I didn't mind it either because we merely had to answer all the questions on the chap- ter as usual. The bell rang at the end of the seventh hour--but oh! it was my alarm clock, and I had to get up for another dull day of school, and what's more my homework was not done. Study Hall Pastimes Day dreaming if its spring and one is in love. One could always eat that delicious cake they had for lunch. Drawing pictures of people who don't look like anybody. And there always writing letters to that cute freshman across the room. Indulging in a game of throwing spit balls at a student, but hitting the teacher.

The Polar Bears, still suffering from injuries to four of their regulars, were unable to hold Marion in the first half as the victors broke through to score twice. However, in the remaining half, Coach Jack Taylor sent in his battered starters and they held Harding to one touchdown resulting from a long for- ward pass. Harding opened their scoring when Roberts intercepted a Woodward pass on the Bears' 14, then smashed off tackel on the first play, to score. Marion again went over goal stripe in the second quarter after Ferguson rip- ped through the right side of his line and raced to the Bears' 8 yard line. Huarst smashed over tackle for the touchdown. In the third quarter Myneder blocked a Harding punt on the 15 yard line and after four attempts, Bob Ramer Hnally drove through center for the score. McKenzie's attempt at conversion was blocked. A long forward pass from Rog- ers to Kimmerly, completed to the Polar Bear four yard line, set up Hard- ing's third touchdown, as Hurst, aided with a penalty, crashed over for the score. Short's attempt at placement was good making the final score 206. Starting Lineups Marion Harding Pos. Woodward Kemmerly l. e. Shimmons Turner l. t. Frankowski Lewis 1. g. McKenzie Kaler c.

Krell Girls Leaders Class Meets After School Last Monday A meeting of the leaders class was held in the girls gym Monday after school. Miss Katherine McClure encouraged all girls who didn't play on an intra- mural team to referee in the var i o u s games after school. Each leader is re- quired to wear a white uniform to dis- tinguish them from the other players. The officers of the Girls Athletic League were introduced to theleaders. Among them were Esther Bloom,pres- identg Jane Bieniek, vice presdientg Emily Nowalk, treasurerg Ethel John- son, secretary, and Sadie Douglas, re- porter. Hit Pin and Schlag Ball rules were discussed to remove all possible mis- understandings of the games. Miss Catherine McClure and Mrs. Lois Draves are advisors of the leaders class. Libbey Trounces Bear Cubs To Mar Lightweight Record On the home Held last Friday, the Bear Cubs suffered their first defeat of the season when Libbey overpowered them 24-7 in a hard fought scrap to the last whistle. In a long 50-yard march Libbey scored the first touchdown ofthe game. Wood- ward fumbled the next kickoff, giving Libbey a score three plays later. Wood- ward then scored on a sixty yard march down the field after receiving the kick- off. Ustazewski was the one to cross the goal line with Wisniewski kicking the extra point. As the gun ending the half was fired Libbey scored their third touchdown. After intercepting a lateral on WoodWard's 15-yard line, the Cow- boys marched down the field for their last touchdown of the game.

Frosh Cubs Lose To Tigers In Last Half-Minute Of Play Woodward's plucky freshman grap- plers were defeated for the Hrst time this season by the weighty DeVilbiss eleven, by a 6-0 score. Woodward played on their field. In the last minute of play it was Woodward's ball on the opponents five yard line. The ball was shot to Ryan, who tripped and fumbled the ball. De- Vilbiss recovered the ball and crossed tliie goal line in the last half minute of p ay. Both teams had a better defense than offense. Woodward's future team depends upon these boys. Their splen- did defense, which held DeVilbiss back until the final minute, shows a promising future for Woodward. De- Vilbiss held Woodward's freshmen scrappers by a fine display of defense. Their recovery and decisive action in that last half minute show that they can put on a strong battle. Woodward's freshmen eleven have played two games, one a win and the other a loss. They defeated Central's freshmen team for their first victory. The two squads meet again at Central on October 19. They wiil play Scott on their own field, October 24. On October 31,the freshman will play at Waite.

Born in Toledo, a graduate of Waite High, Miss Cutler received her Bache- lor of Science degree from the Univer- sity of Toledo. I am very fond of classical music and reading novels and books of science, admitted this new addition to our faculty. Her favorite color is Red, and at present she is taking organ lessons. She indulges in a bit of tennis and photo- graphy rates with her during her spare moments. Miss Cutler never attened any of Woodward's football games, but she add- ed that thae var sity squad could use a bit of encouragement from the student body. Among some of them at Woodward which she is acquainted with are Miss Joseph and M: s. Bessie Burgett. She concluded by saying, I am very well p le a s e d with the friendliness shown to me by my freshman students Quizzed on her opinion of Woodward, charming Mrs. Lucille Farrell, new com' munity life and English teacher, replied, I think very highly of Woodward, of its teachers, and of Charles LaRue. This statement may be due to the fact that Mrs. Farrell taught an eighth grade here six years ago. Her favorite hobbies are swimming and horseback ridingg but with a play- ful gester she adds, I have the boots and the breeches but that is about as far as I get. Green heads her list of colors, and cheese is her idea ofa good food. Then with the same familiar smile, which she always flashes to anyone who greets her, she said, And don't put down lim- burger, either. Mrs. Farrell received her B. A. degree from DeSales College. Her e a r lie r schooling was obtained from Ursaline Convent and Toledo Normal School. Before coming to Woodward she taught at Webster. So that she may be able to teach history in high school, Mrs. Farrel is now attending night classes at Desales College. VOX POP 1 I KLUB KAPERS 5 Dear Editor, As a student of Woodward, I would like to comment on the noon movies. I attend them regularly, and I am great- ly impressed by the selection of the movies. On the whole, I know the students enjoy them too, but the noise, undertone, murmuring that go along with the movie is unbearable. Canit something be done about this? After all, we pay to see the movie not to be annoyed. A Movie Goer Dear Editor, There is need for an anti-noise ordi- nance in Woodward High School. It is not only urgent but timely. A few days ago the city fathers pro- posed a law to bar all unnecessary noise except--Hush! Why can't we bo the same? The benefits are varied, and many a definite decline in strained voices and throats would be found among the faculty. Movies would be not only seen but heard. Instead of the striking re- semblence they now have to a boiler factory, the halls and cafeteria during lunch hours would offer a haven for re- laxation to the weary student. A A wig-wag system could even be in- troduced to replace the present noisy meeting which are hurled through mobs, windows, and doors. Don't get me wrong--I don't mean as the proverbial churchyard at mid- night, but let's abolish excessive and useless noises.

LaRue Appoints Large Central Committee, 1700 Items Will Be Rechecked By North Central Association A4 Woodward High School has begun an WINNING ESSAY Laura Meyer, senior, is the author of the Clean Hall essay that follows. Laura was awarded a free twenty-five cent lunch for her composition. Clean Halls To help perfect his life Benjamin Franklin lived according to thirteen vir- tues. One of these virtues was cleanli- ness. In Franklin's opinion the precept for cleanliness was, 'Tolerate no un- cleanliness in body, clothes, or habita- tion. Taking into consideration the condi- tion of Woodward's halls it is obvious that Woodwardites do tolerate iilth in habitation. Day in and day out, especial- ly during lunch periods, we must wade through waste paper, garbage, and bro- ken glass. Despite this sickening condi- tion some students still continue their careless practice of throwing their rub- bish on the iioor. There is no excuse for such behavior! This condition does not exist in our homes and should not ex- ist in the school. Anyone with two eyes can see that we are well supplied with waste containers. These containers are here for a definite purpose and are not used merely as decorations. It takes little effort and still less time to dis- pose of refuse in the proper manner. Is it that we have no pride in our school? Are we habitually dirty? Or is it that we are just lazy and careless? Whatever the case may be, let each and every student of Woodward adopt cleanliness as his virtue and keep the school ranking with the best. Laura Meyer Orchestra Practices Students in the Woodward orchestra have already been practicing for their forthcoming concert. A quartet ensemble has kept the brass section busy and the Hute di- vision is working on a special compo- sition. Miss B e s s ie Werum advises this group of musical protegees. Catholic Instruction Begun Plans for the classes in religious in- structions were made when all Catholic students were asked to be present in the auditorium Wednesday afternoon at the close of school. Each person attending was asked to sign his name and the parish he belong- ed to if they desired instruction.Later, definite room numbers will be assigned to each parish by C. C. LaRue, prin- cipal.

Gong Constructed The gong which precedes all bulle- tins over the sound system was con- structed by Florian Frick, and presented to the school by the Electrical club. evaluation which by action ofthe North Central Association, is compul- sory every five years. C. C. LaRue, gen- eral chairman, has appointed a central committee on Philosophy and Objec- tives to hear this project. Mrs. Eula Upp has been appointed general chair- man with the following serving with her on this committee: Miss June An- derson, Mrs. Hazel McManamon, James Pollock, Floyd Lords, O. M. Thompson. and Clyde Van Tassel. Every teacher in the building is a member ofa sub-com- mittee under the members of the fore- going committee who are general chair- men of these various sub-committees. Before the year 1871 all students wish- ing to attend college were required to take an entrance examination. In that year the University of Michigan entered Ann Arbor High School graduates with- out an entrance examination. All other colleges complained of this because it would be ruiness to their standards. Then in 1894 the North Central Associ- ation began. This association consists of secondary schools of twenty states in this area. In 1901 this association adopted its first set of standards. Dr. Carrothers, chairman of the study committee of standards of the association in 1932, was given the power to choose a committee of tive. This committee established their Cooperative Study of Secondary School Standards.This took six years of study and cost S200,000. Research readers read 2500 articles on what makes a good school and select- ed 1700 of these items. After various schools had used these 1700 items for their own evaluation,a group of special- ists met in St. Louis in 1936 and eval- uated all the material that had been collected. Some of these specialists were: Dr. Boyd Bode,instructor of Philosophy at Ohio University, Dr. D. H. Englebart, authority on buildings at Columbia University, Dr. Arthur Jones, authority on guidance at University of Pennsyl- vaniag and Dr. Charles Judd, authority on secondary education at the Univer- sity of Chicago. The material collected by this committee was tried out in 200 typical high schools. Later it was re- vised and the first edition was publish- ed in 1938. It was called the Evaluative Criteria. Woodward is starting its evaluation with the 1940 edition of the Criteria. The 1700 items are under twelve head- Continued On Page 4 Males, Sophomores, Receive Largest Number Of Unsats With the unsats quota about the same, the masculine sex again surged forward with a total of 322. One hundred forty-two unsats were issued to the girls. This is a total of 492. The sophomore class received 201, with 146 obtained by the boys and 55 garnered by the girls. Following the sophomore class is the freshman class with a total of 140. The boys and girls received 47 and 93, respectively. With a total of 100, the junior class was third. Thirty-six were given to the girls and 64 to the boys. The senior class received only 23, with 4 garnered by the girls and 19 by the boys. This class received the smallest number. Mrs. Opal Barley stated that although the quota was about the same, the fresh- man andthe sophomore 'classes have ANNUAL WELFARE PARTY TO BE HELD Proceeds of Benefit Affair To Purchase Glasses For Charity The annual Woodward Welfare Card Party will be held in the girls' gym on Wednesday, November 13, at 8 p. m.

Roach, and Mrs. Walter Wendell. Mrs. Harvey Bentley, Mrs. Cecil Ash- brook, and Miss Angela Abair are co- chairmen of the refreshment committee. The following people are on the tally and card committee: Mrs. Mary Crouse, Mrs.Eula Upp, Miss Belle Joseph, S.B. Crouse, Leo Robie, Paul Lankenau and Mrs. Winslow. Miss Pasch and Carl Berdue are in charge of publicity. S. B. Crouse and Joy Mohrhart will take charge of the tables and chairs. Miss Anne Wetterman is chairman of the reception committee. Teachers, students and parents will be asked for assistance on these various committees later on. Students Given Chance To Write Article On Defense Students from the seventh through the twelfth grades are given a splen- did opportunity to demonstrate their ability in written composition by the Ursula Wolcott Chapter, D. A. R. National Defense will be the general topic of this city-wide contest. Since this topic is too large to be written in a brief theme, the class as a whole or the individual student may write any phase of it that he wishes. The themes will be divided into three classes : seventh and eight grades, 100 words ninth and tenth grades,200 words eleventh and twelfth grades, 250 words. Themes may be written or typed on one side of the paper, and should bear the name, address, school, and grade of the writer who should give his theme to his English teacher. The best productions will receive a certain amount of publicity, and the writers will be recognized in some way. Oral Expressions Teacher, Father, Injured In Collision Mrs. Dorothy Matheny and her father William Bardo were injured Friday night, October 18, when their automo- bile collided with another car at Nor- wood and Waite Avenues.

F VARIOUS clubs throughout the school have teams entered in intra-murals, why don't they see to it that they have enough boys turn out to make a half way decent team and at least a fair showing? If the recognition received by the winning team is not a sufficient incentive, if the pleasure of playing other boys in games both know well, and if the excitement that comes with keen competition is not enough, then the boys of Woodward must either be entirely void of feeling or a hopeless pack of sissies! After all, the games played in this great nation of ours have a great deal to do with the fact that we are as democratic as we are. They bring about better sportsmanship and more efficient coordi- nation among the people who participate in them. So you see, we have the incentive, the reward, and most of all, the feeling of satisfaction which comes with a job well done. Angels, That's Us! RE you tickled? Well, the feather for our cap that we received at the Woodward and Harding High Schools game has brought smiles of pride to faculty and student body members. The feathers came in the form of a letter from O. Snyder, principal of Harding High School, Mar- ion, Ohio. Mr. Snyder commended Woodward on the Hue conduct of the spectators and players. Although we did not win that game, we will certainly be remembered at Harding High for our behavior. Keep up the good work, kids, so that this good opinion of Woodward will exist not only in Marion, but in other schools as well. Snooped This is ye old school reporter-- sees all, tells nothing! Donit look now but those formidable knee length socks are once again being sported around Woodward. Why don't they wear red Hannel under- wear and be done with it?

To Be Wise Are you one of the many who groan when think ing of school? If pictures of homework horrors float through your mind as you are in school--this arti- cle is for you. Follow the given rules and thou shall enter into the kingdom of the Wise. 1 Do not overwork on one subject and leave others untouched. 2 See that your teachers do not give excessive homework. CAttention to Woodward teaohers.J 3 Make an adjustment so there will be time to indulge in pleasures. 4 Don't let irregular hours let your homework pile up. 5 Provide yourself with a quiet place and mater- ial for your work. 6 The last, but most important rule, is to read, How to Get All A's, by Y. R. Looney. Dark Dreary Nite One dark and dreary night When bats and owls were in flight A lovely girl trudged slowly down the walk, Thinking she could hear the trees and grasses talk. Ah! Home at last. And up the steps she bounded, Hark! What was that noise that on the wind sounded Like scraping feet and wrestling leaves EE-EE-EEK! It's a man looking in the window be- neath the eaves. A sounding tread, a sickening groan, While 'round the house the eery wind did moan. It was nothing, just a shadow in the night, A large, swaying bush silhouetted by the light. That's what a girl gets for staying out so late, If timid, she should make an earlier date. A Roast Ashes in your food plus smoke in your eyes equal a Weiner roast.

The central figures, Matt Howard, an in- dependent, strong, rather crude backwoods farmer and friend of Thomas J ei-ferson, and Matt Howard's wife, Jane Peyton, aristrocratic and proud, symbo- lize the condict of the times. It was hard and took a long time for the struggling, democratic class and the wealthy aristocratic class to come to a common understanding. The story of settlement, of hardship during the War, of life and death as lived by our forefathers, and the progress of a family through four generations of the Howard family, are magniiicently put forth in The Tree of Liberty. This is one of the new books to be placed in our library after National Book Week. A motion picture 'The Howards of Virginia has been adapted from this novel.

Woonwlfxizn MEETS CENTRAL 5 AT SCOTT FIELD TOMORROW Bears To Try To Trample '59 Central In City League Tilt 22'? i :IK I I i . J -2,1 g , rsh, . . , ...M 1 , Q-IMI'-.'m Leon Konz Meeting an old rival and trying to avenge last year's defeat, the Polar Bears will play the strong and highly rated fighting Irish from Central in Scott Stadium tomorrow. Game time is set at 2:30. . In view of Central's loss to Waite of last week, the Central team won't be able to push the mighty, but small, Bears around. The Waite encounter proved one thing, Central was rated high above their actual standing. Central was also beat by DeVilbiss, but with a lower score than the Tiger Bear tilt. Coach Taylor's boys play the- type of football any team could be proud of. Though Central has not allowed her opposing teams to score as many touch- downs against her as Woodward has, the Bears will put up a hardy scrap because of the intense rivalry of the two schools. The main worries of the Bear squad will be light weight, reserve material, and Printy from Central. On the basis of Waite games played, the Bears and the Irish should be evenly matched. The last time the North End- ers beat Central was in 1934 when pass- ing was the Bear's chief advantage and an intercepted pass was the payof to Woodward's winning 7-6. l The probable Bearlineup will be: ends, Koster, Pryzbyszg tr ckles, Crosby, Fran- kowski, guards, McKenzie, Tucker, cen- ter, Konz, quarterback, Mynederg full- back, Krellg halfbacks, J. Ramer and B. Ramer. Dave McMurray, Line Coach Interviewed On Many Topics We need tackles who are big and rough, commented coach Dave Mc- Murray when questioned as to the quality our of line. Mac, as he prefers to be called, towers six feet into the ozone and tips the scales at 200, the latter accounting for the fact that in his high school and college days Dave played tackle on the football team and guard on the basket- ball team. ' Q He graduated from Michigan State Normal with a Bachelor of Science Degree. This, he stated, was no snap to get. A , His football experience stood him in good stead as he won the coveted position of line coach at Tiffin Jnnior Order, a private school. Give me a big, juicy steak with lots of mushrooms, he said with a smile, reserved only for his wife'sculnary ex- ploits. t When questioned about Woodward's football team he stated that he had been here six years and would like to, see the Bears win one city game. But,' said he, the odds are against us as the bigger kids are not going out. W hen a s k e d about Woodward's chances of winning one city game he said, You just watch. ,l..ll.

Joe ran the 75-yard dash in 8 3-5 seconds. This is exceptionally commendable as there was a slight wind blowing which tended to hold him back as he ran.

The Tiger reserves started the scoring with a bang with a '70-yard marc h through right tackle for a touchdown, also kicking the extra point, their final score came when they intercepted a Bear pass on the 40 and took it to the 1 - foot mark. It was then plunged over. Their second successful attack on the goal came when they recovered a fumble on the Woodward 14 - yard stripe. DEVILBISS TAKES WOODWARD 25-0 IN SCRAPPY ENCOUNTER 34Chappius, Bohnsack Star BWLEHX Although the cross country team as a whole has taken it on the nose this season, Bill Gernheuser has been out in front or very close to that position in every meet. He has placed first three times, and been second only to McDon- ald of Waite, who at this time holds the city two mile reord at 9:50. Bill lowered the Woodward two mile mark of 10:58, set by Perry in 38, three times this year. The 10:19 he hung up against DeVilbiss, is the ofliicial Woodward record for the two mile run. At Springheld last week where he ran in competition with over a hundred of the crack Northwestern Ohio cross country men. Bill placed six- teenth and was awarded a medal for this feat. Last Friday after Waite had defeated Central 51-0, Coach Mollenkopf of Waite, was the recipient of a severe cut when he was dealt a sucker punch by an angry Central player. Our Bears had a like score ran up against them by Waitea few weeks ago but showed no signs of such unsportsmanlike attitude. It's too bad sportsmanship is not en- tered in the win column. When Waite invades Massillon Nov. 1 there will take place a battle between two of the most outstanding high school elevens in the state of .Ohio. Massillion will enter the fray a slight favorite sporting a 27 game winning margin. They have scored around 245 points while holding their opposition scoreless this season. However Waite al- so has a very formidable winning streak of 17 straight, six of which came a- gainst strong foes this year.

In Passes And Long Runs A very highly rated DeVilbiss eleven defeated our Woodward Polar Bears last Friday eveni g 25-0. The Tigers scored in every frame with the excep- tion of the fourth quarter. The Bears began to roll in this stanza and threat- ened the 'Tiger goal line several times, however, failing to score. Bob Chappius, the Tiger all-city half-back accounted for all touchdowns. DeVilbiss opened their scoring late in the first quarter when they recovered a Woodward fumble on the Bear's twenty. A Chappius to Bohnsach pass carried the ball to the six. Then the masterful Chappius smashed over his own right tackle for the score. The atlempt at con- versions failed.The Tigers second score came just before the ending of the first half. A Polar Bear punt was blocked, giving the West Siders a first down on the Vlloodward 18. Chappins and Bon- hoach alternated to make a first and goal to go on the Woodward 1 yard line. After being held for three downs by a stubborn Polar Bear line, the Tigers' sparkplug finally crashed over. In the second half, DeVilbiss came back strong. Bohnsack began a 65 yard goal march when he took a reverse from Chappius and raced forty-ive yards to the Bear ten. On the next play, Vernier passed to Chappius in the in the end zone for the score. The Tigers accounted for their final score, the result of ablocked Polar Bear punt. It was Chappius who again provided the scoring punch. The attempt at placement was blocked making the final score 25-0. The final quarter found the Bears in control of the field. The Ramer borthers shook loose several times but failed to score.

Yesterday, on of my big brothers held me on one of the buses so that I was late for an important engagement. Is this to be the plight of all of us? Are we going to stand for this outrage? Last year an editorial was written on the excellent conduct of the students on these buses. ls this the so-called cour- tesy and fellowship we were filled so full of a few years ago? As there is no other way to stop this, I am truly sorry I am forced to at- tend Woodward! An Outraged Junior. Dear Editor, Woodward has more little Hitlers, Stalins, and Mussolinis than Europe will ever have. There are hundreds of them, they rush past you knocking your books helter skelter. Manners mean nothing to them, after all, aren't they indispensable to us. What could we do without their ever present, Hi Babe ? How would we be able to sur- vive if they didn't protect all the seats in the auditorium for their gang Even if we content ourselves with seats fif we get anyj in the last row, are we allowed to rest in peace? Oh, no they have to liven up the mass meeting or show with a whistle, or a separate cheer in the middle of an interesting sequence. These minature dictators have lasted long enough, for they are slowly destroying that old feeling--- One for all, and all for one. A Sophomore Girl. Dear Editor, I am not such a very sensitive per- son, but, understand, my ears are only normal and so they can't quite get used to the noise that seems to be part and parcel of Woodward at present. When I walk down the halls, my head pounds and vibrates with the screams of laughter and shouting that pervades our school. My plea is this:Can't the students of Woodward converse and laugh about six or seven tones lower? It oan't possi- bly hurt them, and it will give a better reputation to the school itself. Yours sincerely, Desperate. Miss Bernice Stacy Reads Poetry Over Sound System Miss Bernice Stacy, former teacher of Perrysburg, Ohio, read poetry over the public address system last Friday morning for fifteen minutes, between 8:45 and 9:00. The poetry of Ohio was given in observance of Ohio Poetry Day. Among the poems read were Back in Ohio , author unknown, Idea Janua- rio, The Emigrantf' Daniel Boone Frederick Williams Thomasg Walk- ing The Road , Williams: Johnny Appleseed? ,Mrs. E.H. Dill: The little, Town Clara Brown 5 Skyscrapers, Rouson , Old Fort Meigsfl author un- known: Harriet Beecher Stowef' Dun- barg and My G1andmother's Love Let- ters by Hartcrane. After the poems were read, Miss Stacy asked all students to write their opinions of them. These papers were given to her so that she may determine the general attitude of students to- wards this type of poetry. The program was also given in every other Toledo high school except Libbey. The project was entirely under the direction of Miss Stacy, and if success- full she will journey to other cities.

Freshmen Lose As Central Completes Pass To Win 6-0 The Woodward freshmen followed in the steps of their varsity brothers as they dropped a hard fought 6--0 verdict to the Central small men. Three times during the encounter, Woodward penetrated Central's 20-yard line, but failed to score as their offen- sive lagged down. Central scored the only touchdown on a long desperation pass with only minutes left in the fourth period.

Vol- XIII Toledo, Ohio, November 1, 1940 - N Tonight WOODWARD'S ' HONOR ROLL In the past few years many Woodward stu- dents have answered the call made by the govern- ment for more enlist- ments in some branch of the service. Some of r..- joined before they grad- uated from school. Now that the National De- fense Program is in full swing, more and more high school students are joining the National l Guard or any other di- vision of the Army or Navy for which they are qualified. These pupils deserve congratulations from both fac- ulty and student body for rushing to the defense of their country. Every week the Tattler will print Wood- l ward's Honor Roll giving the name, year they enlisted, and the branch of service these students have chosen. If anyone knows of any student who has ever attented Woodward and has entered some branch of the service, it will be appreciated if the name, date enlisted, and branch that they enlisted in be left in the Tattler box outside of Dick Semler--Marines--1940 Bud Burdue-Marine Resesves--1940 John Sackman--Marine Reserves- 1940 Bill Dawn--Marine Reserves--1940 Steve Korecki-Marine Reserves--- 1939 Melvin J ankowski-Navy---1938 Jack Urbanski---Marine Reserves--- 1940 Jack Woodbury--Navy-1940 Ted Gosciniak-Navy-1939 Edward Wygast, Richard Le fl et, Ralph Bissonnette, Kent Balsmeyer, and Robert Rabbitt are leaving some time in November for some branch of the service. Woodward is represented this week by the above recruits in the Boston Navy Yards and Paris Island, South Carolina. LIBRARY RULES So that students who do not know the rules of the library may become acquainted with them, the Tattler is publishing the following rules: Fiction books may be borrowed for one week. Books in demand must be brought in the following morning. Students must be quiet and order- ly in the library. Neglect of this rule will bring a fine of ive cents. Miss Stella Sawtelle will be glad to further inform any student about anything concerning the library.

One of the winning essays of the juniors was written by Dorothy Shulf. The subject she chose was Clean Auditorium. Her composition won her a free lunch from the school cafe- teria. - Clean Auditorium A clean auditorium would advertise Woodward students as clean, ordely and fastidious in their personal habits to outsiders such teachers, coaches, and students. You would not litter the iioor at homeg so why do it while in school? What would your parents say at home if you threw papers and such things that litter the floor in the auditorium on your floor? They wouldn't stand for itg so why should the students who are careful about their papers, depositing them in the right containers, have to live in such an environment. A complete dispoal of all refuse in the proper receptacle by a small group or clicque that eat their lunch together would soon set the example for the other students present at that time. Don't wait for someone else to set the example, why not be the first to deposit your refuse in the appropriate container. When you see someone else dropping refuse on the floor remind t h e In of the numerous containers placed around the auditorium for this purpose. Dorothy Shuff.

Don't Read With Your Mouth OISE IN A LIBRARY, a place where one studies and reads for pleasure, is one of those things which is entirely uncalled for. Not only does such noise disrupt the studies of others, but it is also unconducive to proper reading. Some people Who take advantage of the slightest laxity in rules come to the school library simply for the purpose of communing with neighbors whom they failed to see earlier in the day. Others among us live in the belief that regulations are made only to be broken and that they themselves are on the committee for the breaking of them. Another rule frequently broken in the library is that concerning homework. A partial remedy for this might be the posting of the rules in some place passed by all so that there would be no excuse whatever for a person not knowing any of the rules governing the library and its uses. Of course, if the students do not wish to respond, there is nothing much to be done except to restrict the use of the books to a select few who will really have a serious purpose in mind when they enter the door of the library.

Mr. LaRue -roaming the halls every once in a while to seep if his little charges are making it their Mr. E. C. Ramsey, a newspaper man who recently returned from Europe, f spoke before the Ohio Principals' Asso- ' f ciation in Columbus, October 19. He contrasted the training being given to x ,', the nine million young German boys hx ,gi and girls with that given to the youth in America. To illustrate his points he related the following incident: On his last visit to Germany he called upon an old friend in Hamburg. His friend ran a little shop on a back street of the city and was overjoyed to see Mr.Ramsey after a separation of about seven years. In order to talk together and, as they thought, not be overheard, the shop proprietor took the correspondent into a little back room and carefully locked the door. Their conversation was carried on in whispers. In the midst of this con- versation Mr. Ramsey noticed a small radio on a nearby bench and idly spun the dials. He tuned in on an English broadcast. His Germen friend was terror stricken. Please, please, turn it off! he begged. It was only a harmless news broadcast but it meant a serious charge against the shop keeper should he be found listening to the foreign broadcast. Mr. Ramsey tnrned the radio off and they went into the outer room. In a few minute three stalwart storm troopers strode into the store. They shouldered the shop keep- er aside and hurried into the back room. One ofthe troopers laid his hand on the radio. It was still Warm. The proprietor was accused of listeing to an enemy broadcast and they were all for taking him away. Mr. Ramsey tried to explain. His friend was not at fault. He an American citizen, in ignorance of the strict radio law, had turned the radio on. It was no use. A fine of one humdred marks was as- sessed against the shopkeeper which was paid by Mr. Ramsey. How had the police found out? The German's twelve year old daughter in the outer room had heard the broadcast and had rushed to inform the police. That is the hold Hitler and his followers have on the youth of Germany. They are taught that it is not only honorable but it is the duty of every German youth to spy even on his own par- ents. Prizes and awards are given for this service. Let us be thankful that American poys and girls have different ideals of duty and honor. G65 What Next?

Rainer Races 45 Yards To Return Central Punt The Polar Bear gridders lost theirbh fourth consecutive city start last Fri- day, when they bowed to Central catholic, 7-0, at Scott stadium. Although outplaying the Irish in every phase of the game, the Bears failed to come through with a victory. In the final stanza, Central, capitalizing on a block punt, managed to score. Central's scoring opportunity came after two minutes of the Hnal quarter when Myneder attempted to punt on fourth down from his own 35. The Woodward quarterback failed to get the kick away and the ball was re- covered by the Irish. Bob McQullen, Central's fiinging halfback, then tossed a forward to Walsh who was knocked out of buund on the Bear 19. On a spinner, Kuron made a first down on the Wocdwaad one yard stripe. The Irish hit a stone wall for three plays, however, Walsh finally nosed over on aquarterback sneak. The attempt at conversion was good. Following the kickoff, Woodward be- gan a powerful goal line march. Bob Ramer and Sylvester Golombiewski, aided by good blocking, skirted the ends and ripped through the Irish tackle to spark the drive. The Bears began the drive on their own twenty and after piling up four first downs, Ramer, on a reverse raced to the Irish 18 yard line. With seconds remaining in the contest, Golomhiewski crossed to Prysybyz, who made a beautiful catch on the one foot line. In three tries at the Irish forward wall Woodward failed to gain. The Bears were then penalized five yards and as the gun went off ending the game, Ramer, running to his weak side, failed to score. A kicking duel between McQuillen and Myneder featured the first half, the latter holding the edge. Jack Ramer, Woodward's speedy tailback, also brought the crowd to their feet in the second frame when he took an Irish punt on his own ten and raced 42 yards along the sidelines before he was finally knocked out of bounds.

Krell Bear Cross-Country Squad 1 Hit Seventh Place In Meet Of the Woodward cross-country boys who qualified in a preliminary run last week for the district meet held last Saturday in Ottawa Park, Bill Gern- heuser was the only Woodward boy to place in the run, taking fifth place. The team on a whole came in at the seventh position. The Southside representatives from Libbey were the winners, with DeVil- hiss' runners placing second, and the Indians from Waite took the third honor. MacDonald from Waite, set a new track record of 10:10 for the meet. In taking fifth place, Gernheuser made him- self eligible for the state meet to be held at Ohio Weslyan University in Del- aware, Ohio, Saturday, November 2. He will be accompanied by Mac Donald and Hynch of Waite. . Sorry! Unrecognized by the members of the Tattler staff, Marion Jaworski, Tattler sports editor in 1933 and present sports editor of the Zanesville News in Tm-mn. I have presented the following sta- tistics ofthe 'Woodward - Central game to show that the contest was as close as the 7-0 score indicates. Woodward gained 118 yards by rushing, garnered 9 first downs, and made one out of two passes good for 14 yards. The Irish had a slight edge in every department as they gained 143 yards through rushing, ran up 12 first downs, and picked up 55 yards via the air completing 4 of9 pass- es. When a substitute makes good. Syl- vester Golombiewski, fresh from the lightweight ranks, entered the Central encounter substituting for Jack Ramer and immediately established himself as a very dangerous, deceptive back. His number is 37, formerly that of Ray Pierce, and was a constant source of in- quiry as he smashed around end, in- side tackle and led the Bears on their last minute threat of the game. Another stranger in the Woodward lineup was Ray Pearson at center. Ray formerly captained and played center for the Columbus Central High eleven, and contrary to many persons' inquiry he is eligible for play immediately. Led by tackle Bill Crosby, who was referred to as the fifth man in the Central backfield, the line played in- spired ball. Jim Tucker was taken to the hospital after the game, as he was out on his feet. When he recovered his punch drunk wits much to his amazement he did not know what had taken place.

Ever since the all-city center from Columbus Cen- tral High School blew in, rumors and speculation have increased tenfold as to the possibilities of the Bear eleven's beating Scott. We know nothing of this but this we do know that Ray Babe Pierson is one swell fella, and is really one of Woodward's shining hopes at this time. Versatle would hardly begin to des- cribe this sandy haired young man. He played the tuba for four years in the school orchestra, plays the saxaphone for his own enjoyment, took vocal and piano lessons from Don Bryant, pianist in the famous Capital University's Glee club, dances, skates, and played basket- ball back in Ohio's capital city. He has a good baritone voice and is already enrolled as a member of Woodward's Glee Club. When asked how he liked Woodward, he replied in the affirmative by saying, Well, I like it. The kids make me feel at home-very friendly--building's quite a bit larger. The girls are pretty doggon nice and I'm not kidding. He is blond, live feet ten inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, has gray eyes and a sturdy physique. He eats lots of everything as evidenced by the man- sized lunches he lugs to school each morning. As to his plans for the future, he intends to follow in the footsteps of his father and two of his brothers when he will attend Muskingum College and thence to the Boston Seminary where he will study to enter the minis- try. A minister or a football coach, he said as we ended this interview with a hearty hand shake. Robert Krell Bob Krell, Woodward's pile driving fullback, must have been born with a weight in each hand. To look at his powerful masculine frame, one would think he was the son of Charles Atlas. When the Polar Bears need a first down they merely snap the ball to this blond headed demon of the gridiron and his powerful piston-like legs drive into the opposing line, adding the needed yard- age. The colorful Krell enjoys all sports however, and majors in the field of weight lifting, where he has won due merit. This grey-eyed chap was born in Mich- igan where he attended various elemen- tary schools before coming to Toledo. It was probably there, in th e rolling hills, that makes him one of the city's Hnest fullbacks. Bob is a junior,aud carries with him, along with his stately frame. an inter- esting philosphy of life. He favors Chem- istry in his studies an d credits Jack Taylor as being his best teacher. Master Krell has traveled through five states in the u nion a nd enjoys traveling a great deal. From the menu, Bob will usually order steak with mush- rooms and onions. Robert is a very pleasing gentleman aEd,Fs yet, he hasn't a femine interest, ir s. - 2--i1.. . Basketball Tryouts Freshman basketball, reserve and varsity tryouts will be held Monday, Wednesday, and Tuesday, Thursday, respectively. Coaches Homer Hanham and Coach Dave McMurray predict a fine turnout, and the chances for a championship team look very good. Although juniors may play sophomores will be given the preference. Tryouts will be held in thegirls' gym BEAR CUBS PLACE SECOND IN LEAGUE Lightweights Scalp Waite 13-0 As They End City Race For Title The Woodward lightweight squad finished second in the city league after trouncing Waite, 13-0, at Waite, after school last Thursday. The Brst touchdown was earned in the second quarter after an 80 yard march down the field, the longest sin- gle gain in this was a 30 yard run by Boggs. Ustazweski threw a 5 yard pass to Brent over the goal. The conversion failed. The second was attained in the third quarter. The ball was taken from a Waite punter, when he failed to kick, and the Bear Cubs marched 30 yards down the field for the goal. A short pass from Brent to Wisiewski over the line completed this march. The conver- sion was successful. The game ended with the Woodward second and third string players having the ball on the Waite 5-yard line. This was the Cubs last city game which put them in second place in the city league. 135 Boys Turn Out Nightly For Basketball Practice About 135 boys have turned out for basketball practice this season. Of this number, Hfty-tive are working out for freshman basketball, a b o u t forty for reserve, and forty for varsity.

The periods of practice will then be lengthened. The number of boys will be out down soon. The boys will be limited to about thirty for f re s h m e n basketball and fifteen or twe nty for varsity and reserves.

Bitter sends a Tattler to his brother in Boulder, Colorado, who has a son just entering high school. A former Woodwardite and member of the Electrical club, Robert Clucky, is sent a Tattler from Mr. Bitter each week. Bob is stationed at Fort Clay- ton, 10 miles from Panama City, in the Canal Zone, with the radio di- vision of the 33rd infantry of the United States army. In a letter he sent to Mr. Bitter, Bob stated, I wish I had studied radio harder when I was at Wood- ward. Once Bob and his fellow mates were marooned in their quar- ters for twenty-eight days because the rain came down in sheets. The Tattler was a very welcome piece of paper at that time. Bob was one of the boys who helped build the darkroom for Mr. Bitter from the wood that was taken from Woodward's old stadium. Mr. Bitter also sends the Tattler to North Bay, Ontario, Canada. He is a subscriber to their North Bay Nugget.

The pigs, that's us, play and eat in a pen, that's the cafeteria, and get it as dirty and untidy as we possibly can. Of course, this may have been fun, but it is very unsanitary and unhealthy and gives the upigsl' a very bad name. Now, however, it is time to play something different. Let's go to the other extreme and be very clean and neat. Well not only feel better and look better, but we'll acquire a brand new, shiny name, a name that is more desirable to us and our school. This new game can be just as much fun as the old and brings bet- ter results. We can begin right now and if we work hard enough we'll lick the old one so badly it'll never shine again. Let's all be intelligent, grown-up pigs and all stick together to earn the reputation for our school of being the cleanest and the neatest school in town.

Red Cross Drive Will Begin Monday And Ends Nov. 31 The Red Cross drive will begin in full swing on Monday, November 11, Armistice Day, and continue for two weeks, perhaps through to Thanks- giving, depending upon the amount of money turned in. Saga representatives have sent in the lists of pupils, which have been typed and are now in the hands of the teachers who will mark off the number of pupils contributing, amount con- tributed and complete enrollment. Mrs. Mary O'Brien is in charge of the drive. Freshman Hygiene Classes Held Mondays And Fridays Hygiene classes for freshman boys and girls are being held Monday and Friday, respectively. Don Fisher, the boys' hygiene instructor, taught physi- cal education at Stickney School prior to his coming here. Miss Dorothy Nit- zell, Mrs. Lois Draves, and Miss Cat- herine McClure will each in turn,teach girls' hygiene. Classes are being held Many New Books For The Library During the week of November 10 through November 16, National Book Week will be observed in many libra- ries throughout the country. The pur- pose of this project is to focus the attention of the public on books. Miss Stella Sawtelle has chosen for Woodward's display, new books on fiction, biography, etiquette, t r a v e l, newswriting, science, and crime. Other new books are on aviation, r a d io, sports, new plays, art, photography, hobbys, and travels. A few educational books, of special interest to teachers, were recom- mended by E. L. Bowsher. Among them are: Administering the T e a c h i n g Personnel, by Sanborng Reading and the Educative Processf, by Witty and Kopelg and The American Teacher, by Elsbree. Miss S a w t ell e feels that many students who do not pay special at- tention to books will become more interested if they have the opportunity to see them on display. Teachers may bring their classes to the library if they desire.

Cleaner building during lunch hours. Submit Names For Honor Roll N THE past few weeks, the Tattler has featured a special column entitled, WoodWard's Honor Roll. Our supply of names for this column is exhausted. During the first few weeks, many names were submitted and it was decided to make the Honor Roll a weekly feature. Since then, however, our supply of names has dropped steadily. We are sure that there are many ex-Woodwardites who have enlitsed in the service. These students should be recognized. It would be appreciated if the names and any other information concerning these recruits be dropped in the Tattler box which is always outside room 122. Use Your Salesmanship! HIS YEAR a temporary gronp of teachers and parents has been organized to sponsor a card party, the proceeds of which will ne used for welfare work. The biggest item on the list is the purchase of glasses for those pupils needing them and not able to pay for them. Other needs are for stockings, shoes, oarfare, and lunches. There is no other way of raising money for this fund, other than this affair. Each student is asked to encourage his parents to come or bring a group of friends and spend an enjoyable evening. The price is nominal and you will have the satisfaction of helping a worthwhile cause. Nominations To The Hall Of Fame E BELIEVE IN giving credit where credit is due. I wonder how we've missed saying a word in this column about the printers up- stairs. The print shop, besides handling the Tattler, prints countless absence slips, tardy excuses, sched- ules, grade cards, and other forms used in the schools. In order that we may have a weekly paper, the boys set type by hand, set headlines , make up pages, take proofs, print the paper, and then dis- assemble the type in preparation for the following issue. And so, printers, we nominate you to the best seat in this week's Hall of Fame. And to the Hall of Oblivion: The student who brags about how much he doesn't study. i Our Love Affair Our love affair will be such fun, We'll be the envy of everyone.

S Cupid, now anchored safely in the tunnel of love at dear old Woodward, provides the moonlight and roses for you know what. Smartly saluting and having orders for each. other, Virginia Riel and Bob Kopp are the co-cap- tains on this schooner of romance. Sending notes to Shirley Keller by the vray of the rope ladder from the croW's nest, we find graduate Frank Scott, happily serving as first mate. The chief food sup- pliers, Chef Tip Jarvis and Cook Hope McDarr are sublimely mixing love with alternate siftings of cooking in the galley. Now leaving the lookout for love, Helen Mitchell, looking harder than ever before, we quickly scoot away to return another day. Horses---Horses Horses, horses, crazy over horses, oh, sorry, I didn't think you were liste ning. Well, anyway. Now is the time of year to think of brisk rides in the great outdoors. So here are a few pointers on horse-back riding. First--the horse has two speeds, a trot and a gallop. The reins serve as a gearshift and you shift from a trot to a gallop just as in a car. After you have reached a maximum speed, assume a Gene Autry-ish position in the saddle and start to sing. Do not grab the saddle horn unless passing another horse, then blow it or push or something. In stopping I've been told to pull the ear of the mount. This brings fine results. After picking your- self up, catch the horse and fix your pillow on the saddle. Mount the mount lsilly, is'nt it?J from the right or the left, or right or well---mount the horse. When the horse arrives at the stable with you, find the softest pile of leaves and fall into them. If the horse wants to play patty-cake on your tummy, let him because by then you won't care. With these directions in mind, stay at home and ride a bike, it's lots of fun.

Lucille Foley is just dyin' to know. , Jack Urbanski, 41, has shaken hands with Uncle Sam and is stationed in Paris Island,South Carolina, as a marine. He is not, however, forgotten by one of our femmes as he receives a copy of the Tattler every week. Howard Phipps is yet to be recognized as Ameri- ca's most promising ball-room dancer. Mr. Phipps tripped the light fantastic at the F ases initiation. We wonder what the matter is between Beverly Barks and Bob Heinberger. They're never seen roaming the halls together anymore. Anyone wanting to make an impression on Bill Crosby, V-Woodward tackle, just call him Bing I'll guarantee that you will be friends for life. Cell Henzler and Virginia J akubowski are so very interested in Latin that they correspond with each other in old Roman fashion. Dorothy Summers went horse-back riding Friday. She was well pleased when the horse started to can- ter. The horse,however, took a notion to stop--he did, Dorothy didn't. Consequently--stiff Dorothy.

A perfect three point landing! After taking a course in pitching woo at 'Wood- ward, this reporter decided to get a few pointers by visiting that super-colossal, stupendous, and glamorized Hollywood instead of watching Toledo pitch mud at the Hens. Say, was that Don Ameche Baker who just whizzed by in the flashy orange car? I hear he's starring in a new classic, Donny Rides Again. And there goes Jackie Cooper Schoenfelt, escorting Scarlett How Dare You to the premiere of his new picture, What a Life, fat Woodwardj.

The Grant Murray all-star high school football game and clinic that was played in the Waite stadium re- cently for charity, showed a net gain of 563.96 The total paid admission of 5, 183, of which half were students, net- ted S2,540.57, minus a total expense of !52,467.6l. Bigger items of expense were as follows: 51,168.07 for equipment and players awards, S690 for coaches and assistants, S238 02 for clinic expenses. Central and Waite high schools, whose players dominated the two all-star teams, received all equipment used in Mr. Murray's charity game. The fig- ures seem to indicate that everyone connected with the affair, from players to sponsor, believe in the adage that charity begins at home. O U O The Waite Indians suffered one of the severest setbacks handed to a Toledo squad this season as they dropped a 28-0 headliner to Massilion. In losing their first in 20 starts, the Indians were held to one first down while having their forward bulwark smashed for 16 of the same. The weatherman was the only factor that kept the high-geared Tigers from marking up a higher total as the wet ball made it impossible for the Massillon gridders to get their famed passing attack under way. U U l Elmer McDonnall, Waite's crack two- miler, placed first in the state meet. He barely slipped under the qualification wire at Fremont to make an appear- ance and the Indian tracksters were ushered into their place. However, he won the state meet with ease, finishing about 50 yards ahead of his nearest rival. Woodward was not represented in this meet. 5 GYM NEWS All boys in the gym classes are re- quired to take physical education tests. The tests consist of th e following: baseball pitch, basketball dribble, broadjump, rope climb, and chinnery. There have been a few changes made over last year's tests. In the baseball pitch, one ball was pitched for pratice and the other five counted, this year the tive best balls pitched out of the six are counted. Instead of the high-jump of last year, the broad-jump has been adopted. Last year the chair was placed on the outside of the circle for the bas- ketball dribble anfd the contestant had to dribble around the chair first and then make his basket, this year the chair is placed on the foul line increas- ing the number of baskets that can be made in the required time limit. Table tennis is in swing again and a table has been set up under the west stands and one under the east stands in the boys' gym. Paul Thomae is mak- ing net-holders for the tables. V a r sity and reserve basketball practice will continue on Tuesdays and Thursdays and freshmen basketball practice on Mondays and Wednesday. Ray Pierson again proved himself a worthy lineman as he played a fine de- fensive and offensive game against Lima. Ray also hashed in with a pass interception that set the play for Krell's touchdown from the 11-yard stripe. U U U Central high school finished their city football program last Saturday as they deadlocked the Scott Bulldogs, 7-7. BEARS TO PLAY SCOTT IN LAST GAME OF YEAR SATURDAY NIGHT M , Xsy ,g f L., a .l' + S , . rx... Dick Koster Woodward will be playing their last city game this year when they meet Scott Saturday night in the opponent's stadium. Game time is set for 8:00 o'clock. In comparison with the Oentral games played, Woodward and Scott both out' played Central. Scott and Central dead' locked to a 7-7 score last Saturday. Wood' ward lost to Central, 7-0 but the game ended with Bears backing the Central boys up to the goal post. Following last week's victory over Lima, Coach Jack Taylor has been giv ing the team intensive drill in order to have them whipped into perfect shape for the coming encounter. Dick Koster, captain, will take off his uniform for the last time after the Ma- roon tilt tomorrow. Along with Koster, eighteen other seniors will do the same thing. They are Prysbyz, Shimmon, Rawski, Sikorski, Baz, McKenzie, Tuck- er, Johnson, Konz, Pierson, Bob Ramer, Jack Ramer, ' Myneder, Hartwick, Dressel, Bukowski, Spiela, and Rode- baugh. These boys have fought valiantly for their school throughout the season and have the best wishes and support of the school behind them in the game against Scott. The Bulldog-Bear tilt will be a tough game for both te a m s because of the intense rivalry between the two schools. In the game last- year, ,Woodward lost L.C. Clark, General Chairman, Sets Date For Gayety Nite The date for the annual Gayety Nite has been set for December 6. L.C. Clark is general chairman, assisted by Paul Lankenau. All concessions will he sponsored by clubs. And each club is asked to see Mr. Clark as soon as possible if they wish to get the same booth they have had in previous years. Each pupil is asked to sell four tick- ets, for which he will be given one free ticket. Prizes will be given to t h e students selling the largest number of tickets. Home rooms selling a stated percentage of tickets will be rewarded in the form of entertainment. Honor Society Makes Plans For School Year's Activities At the first meeting of the Woodward chapter of the National Honor Society, which was called by its new adviser, William F. Rohr, the officers for the year were elected. Robert Kerwin was chosen president, Ellen Gribben, vice- president, Emma Kocsis, secretary, Alice Miller, treasurer, and Betty Ga- jewski, reporter. A vigorous program for the coming school year was discussed. Members of this club are: Albert Biggs, Leroy Hansen, Robest Kerwin, Florence Bochenek, Ruth Davis, Bar- bara Fisk, Betty Gajewski, Lilly Glaser, Ellen Cribbin, Patty Hammontree, Lois Horner, Emma Kocsis, Laura Kohne, Irene Kolinski, Barbara Komisarek, Virginia Lobet, Alice Mill e r , Dori- Mohr' and Betty Wagner.

Bill is only a junior and already has distinguished himself as one of the few better tackles Woodward has ever had. As he tips the scales at 195 he is a constant source of menace to the opposing tackles in most of the games. Along with this 195-pound weight Bing towers five feet 10M inches into the air When questioned as to his best girl he blushed and stammered out, Gosh, I'd run a mile if one ever came near me. Green is tops with him in colors as you can plainly see by the Irish com- binations he wears. Bill has been playing football for three years now, and his secret ambition is to play backfield. fCoach Taylor, take notel. He is the aggressive type on the field, as was proved in the Central game when he was referred to as the fifth man in the Central backheld. Bing stated that with the reserves coming up Woodward should have a fine team next year. Doc Welever Watson Welever's s e c o n d hour, freshman English class has formed a GGG club. In case you haven't already heard, the three G's are symbolic for Good Grammar Group. The chief pur- pose of' the organization is to create a greater interest in class work and to better speaking and reading abilities. At the first meeting, on October 29, it was decided that meetings would be held every other week during class time. Three committees were appoint- ed: the first, to attend to all things per- taining to English and literature, the second, to write a constitution, and the third, to take care of social details. The newly-elected oflicers of the group are: Charlotte Yenor, president, Walter Hidan, vice-president, Ruth Trautman, secretary, Dick Williams, treasurer, sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Welever, himself, and Dorothy Szajkowski, reporter. Boys' Intra-mural Battles Undiminished In Intensity Boys' intra-mural games and results for last week were as follows: Monday, October 28, the Electrical club was victor over the Historian, 6-0, the Avi- ation club defeated the T Squares by a score of 6-0, the Polish Lits won over the Machine Shop, 6-0,the game between the Streaks and the Senior Hi-Y was a 0-O struggle. Last Wednesday, October 30, the Avi' ation club beat the Historians, 6-0. The T-Squarres were downed by the Ma- chine Shop, 6-0. The Senior Hi-Y was beaten by the Polish Lits, 6-0, and the Electrical club defeated the Streaks, 6-0. Tuesday, October 29, all games were rained out. Lightweight Game Against Whitmer High Postponed- The football game between Wood ward's lightweight squad and Whitmer High's lightweight eleven was cancelled. The game was to be played on Wood- ward's field. Tle tilt was postponed from Monday, November 3. It will'be played tonight after school. Woodward's lightweight eleven has placed second in the city league. The cubs have played Eve games and won three. They won over Central, 7-0, de- feated Scott, 12-0. The Bear Cubs bowed to Libbey, 7-24, and were defeated by DeVilbiss, 6-19. In their game with Waite, the Cubs emerged the victors Jack Taylor Coach Jack Taylor used a bit of stra- tegy last Thursday evening as his Polar Bear eleven romped over South High School 14-6 in the latter's stadium at Lima, Ohio. The Polar Bear mentor adopted the Nortre Dame style, as he started his second string and at timely intervals sent in an entire new team. However, the Bears didn't put on the pressure until the second half, when they scored both touchdowns. Lima opened the scoring early in the game by taking the kickoff and march- ing 80 yards to score. Their try for the extra point wa s blocked. Taylor then sent in his first team and they drove deep info Tiger territory, but failed to score as the half ended. The Bears came back strong the second half. In the opening minutes of the third quarter Golombiewski broke into the open and ran 85 yards for a touchdown. McKenzie added the extra point from placement. Woodward kept the ball well in South territory,threaten- ing to score several times as Ramer, Krell,and Golombiewski pounded hard at the Tiger forward wall. The third chapter ended with the score still 7-6. In the final frame Lima took to the air and trcied frantically to score. A re- sult of which Pierson intercepted one of their aerial attempts and ran to the South 10-yard line. Krell then ripped through center to score. McKenzie again converted for the extra point. The Woodward line-up was: tackles, Baz and Sikorski, guards, Johnson and B. Burns, ends, S h im m o n s and Paw- lowicz, center, Rodebaugh, halfback, Go- lombiewski and Hartwig, ful l b a c k, Raczo, and quarterback, Spiela. Promising Basketball Squad Predicted By Coach Hanham With such veterans as Konz, Koster, Sahadi, and Przybysz returning Coach Homer Hanham predicts a very success- ful basketball season. A few of last year's lightweights will be moved up to the varsity. From these and a few senior boys who are practic- ing, Coach Hanham thinks he will have enough material for the team. The candidates are practicing the fundamentals---shooting, passing, and dribbling. Drills for footwork are also being done. Miss Dorothy Nitzell Added To Staff, To Assist In Gym Miss Dorothy Nitzell has been added to the teaching staff in the department of physical education. Hers will be a full- time position because of the increased enrollment in girls' gym classes this year.

LARUE GRANTS PRIVATE INTERVIEW Principal Is Great Lover Of Golf, Hunting, And Fishing One of the most renowned but little known personalities in Woodwardis an individual with blue eyes and graying hair who weighs 184 pounds and meas- ures 5, 1053 from tip to toe. He first saw the light of day in Lewistown, Ohio. He received degrees from Ohio Northern, Toledo, and Columbia Uni- versities. Although his ambition was to be a lawyer, he joined the ranks of the teaching profession. Besides teach- ing at the old Woodward High School he was at Libbey High for six years as dean of senior boys. Having no desire to travel he has never journeyed south of the Mason- Dixon line or west of Chicago. However he does hope that he may be able to visit England, sometime after the war. A real Sportsman, he is an ardent fan of golf, hunting, and fishing, catch of which usually consists of bass and pike. With an ivory face he admitted that turnips are his main dislike, and game such as wild duck and pheasant is tops w it h him. Turkey is his preferable domestic dish. I like Woodward better than any oth- er school because my kids are more democratic and get along ine together, declared lifyou haven't already guessed itj Mr. C. G. LaRue. Psychologist From The Child Study Institute Lectures Miss Betty Mickelfelder, psychologist from the Child Study Insiituze, spoke before the Pvriclean Literary Society and the Zetalethean Literary Society in the school library Wednesday, No- vember 6, at 2:45 p m. Her subject was An Imaginary Trip Through the Child Study Institute. In 1919 the first national committee for hygiene was established in jails, hospitals and asylums to educate people to the realization that people can become sick mentally as well as physically. I O l Three years ago the Child Study Institute was established in place of the Juvenile Detention Home. U l I Toledo's Institute is under the direc- tion of the Lucas County Juvenile Court. It is located in the Humane Society Building across from the court house. U U I The Institute is directed by three Psychologists,a medical staff, and a teacher provided by the Board of Ed- ucation. -r :s is , The building holds the main office the school room, the boys' and girls'rec. reation rooms, library, isolation rooms dining room, and the boys' and girls, dormitories, besides many other mis cellaneous rooms. as It 1 We're proud of our privilege system' Miss Miohelfelder stated. All children who are well behaved for two weeks are allowed to attend a movie at the Par- a m o u n t Theater, unchaperoned, or swimming at the Y.M.C.A. for the boys. The girls are allowed to attetd mov ies also but with a chaperoe. as as is In a summary made in 1938, 946 ohil- dren were admitted. The average daily enrollment is about 28 children. Of these 66.5 percent were delinquent cases, 30.4 percent were dependents, and 3.1 per- cent were in for observation. Most of them range from thirteen to sixteen years in age. Woodward vs. Stott JUNIORS RETURN 21 CLASS PETITIONS Five Students Compete For Presidency, Elections Are Next Week Junior class petitions, numbering 21, were returned before 2:30 last Tuesday. Only one student did not return his. Fhose petitions taken out for the pres- idency were Marvin Hahn, Shirley McLean, Bernard Burns, Jack Wilson, and Joe Hascal. Aspiring for the office of vice-president are Sadie Douglas, Johnny Phillips, and Robert Kubicki. Seeking the position of secretary are Lila Luther, Elaine Roach, Viola Swaya, and Josephine Lemke. Fo r the office of treasurer, Gloria Weaver' Eleanor No- wak, and Dora Young have taken out petitions. Virginia Konz, Evelyn Sfaelos and Marie Ignatowski are competing for the position of reporter. The petition- ers for the oflice of sergeant-at-arms are Ray Saba and Leonard Burns. All of the petitions had fifty junior names. These names will be checked by Mrs. Eula Upp and Floyd Lords, class advisers, for authenticity and rep- etition. The election will be held sometime next week. -l..l-.l-1 l vox PoP l Dear Editor, Several days ago I pulled a terrible boner. While Mr. Thompson was taking pictures I was asked to call down all the juniors. Due to a misunderstand- ing I had every sophomore in this school come down to the court. You can easily imagine what a riot might have oc- curred. Never before, in my four years at Woodward, have I seen such excellent behavior on the part of such a very large group Not only did it thrill me to see these kids disperse with so little commo- tion, but it also proved that it could be done. Thanksa million, sophomores,for saving me from a miserable end' Saga Suzie. Dear Editor: Here it is again. Why doesn't Wood- ward have a stadium? I'm sure every Woodward student is with me when I make this plea for a stadium. Do you realize that Woodward is one of the few public high schools in Toledo without one? Who can give a good reason why this is so? There certainly olught to be something done about t is. I, as one of many students, would like to see at least one game played here before I am out of Woodward. Perhaps the jinx on our team would end if the boys could play on their own field. There are so many good reasons why we should hear more about this, so hnrry kids, let's see what we can do. A Sophomore. Dear Editor, An anti-noise campaign would do Woodward a lot of good. Although it is subject has been approached many a time, it still has had no effect on some students who persist in making our school a bedlam of noise and laughter. Understand now, I am not against some enjoyment during lunch hours and I don't expect you to tip toe around the halls in minuet fashion, but, there is a limit to what one can stand, and I, among others, have reached past this limit. Fun and recreation is one thing, but noise and commotion another. I move that students put their whole hearted support in our campaign of anti-noise. Milly. Dear Editor: I would like to comment on the co- operation given by the student body in the move to keep Woodward clean. The halls, on the whole, are much better but there still can be some improvement.

Miss Neitzel came to us from Oakdale School to assist in the physical educa- tion department. She received her edu- cation at Waite High School, later graduated from Michigan State Normal College in Ypsilanti, and now attends University of Wisconsin during the summer to work for her Master's de- gree. Tennis and badminton rate so high with her that they are both her favor- ite sport and hobby. Amazing as it may seem, she likes everything in the line of foods be it fattening or otherwise. Her travels include, Washington, D.C., New York, Northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and the Smoky Mountains. Miss Ne itzel holds a full-time position because of the increased enrollment of girls in the gym classes. In addition to her regular duties she will direct the co-ed tournament which meets in the girls' gym every Friday. French Club Donates New Gong For Address System To replace the temporary gong made by Florian Frick of the Electrical Socie- ty, chimes were presented to the school by the French Club. Members of the cabinet who formed the committee in charge of the selections are: Laura Kohne, presi- dentg Dorothy Damuraur, vice-presi- dent, Esther Zak, secretary, Viola Swaya, treasurer, and Edward Sloan, reporter. George Rohrer is adviser of the club. History Of Twelve Paintings And Noted Artist Presented In years gone by the Engineering So- ciety presented to Woodward, twelve beautiful paintings of which six are orig- inals and the other half are copies of the original.

Starve The Mice Squeak, squeak, said Fatty to Leany' no wonder you're so thin. Why don't you join me in the feast I'm going to have after the Woodward students finish their lunches. Such careless stu- dents they are, to leave sandwiches, cake and candy, everything scattered around the halls. The other day I saw a boy slip on a banana skin, and oh my, did he take a tumble! Come around some time, Leany, for I'm sure you will find plenty to eat, but one thing I must caution you about- be very careful not to eat the gum that's lying around for if you do, you'll get all 'stuck up! Leany soon took up his living quarters. As the days passed, Leany also grew fat. In the mouse colony it became known that Woodward was a Haven For Mice. After the 9,220th mouse from the northend heard about it, the food began to run short, because students were being hounded on all sides to deposit their after-lunch trash in con- tainers. Even Fatty and Leany were losing weight. Say, said Fattyto hismouse friend, if this building gets much tidier we'l1 have to shove off in quest of better places. And Woodward halls are going to be clean, for history is about to be made! If Woodward students work hard on their motto, Starve the Mice, there ...JL L,..,,..,... . ...u .....n, ,. TOWN HALL VISITED BY KNICKERBOCKER Famous War Correspondent Lectured Before Group At Women's Building We can't preserve democracy unless we're willing to fight, was the pro- nouncement of H. R. Knickerbocker, famous war correspondent speaking to a packed auditorium at the Women's building last Sunday. In reviewing the fall of France, the journalist declared that it was 90 per cent moral and 10 per cent material. Britain, he declared, for the first time since Napoleon, has become scared, angry, and has gone to work. The national solidarity of the British in time of peril is remarkable. A 70-hour work week is voluntarily in force for everyone. Mr. Knickerbocker described his ex- periences as a refuge from Paris and a six weeks' inhabitant of bomb battered London. The German method is to horrify the populace in order to break the morale and thus make conquest more speedy. Therefore, a hospital is a legitimate military objective, the foreign correspondent stated. In declaring that the Royal Air Force was our 'drst and for the time being, our only line of defense, Mr Knicker- bocker quoted Winston C h u r c hill, Never in course of human confiict have so many owed so much to so few. What is appalling in the defeat of France that the minds of the French people Hfteen months ago is precisely the same as of the American people today, Mr. Knickerbocker continued. America must rush all material aid to Britain as quickly as possible for if she should fail, United States must face an enemy for which she is totally unprepared, the correspondent con- cluded. Card Of Thanks To the teachers, students, and friends of Woodward, who contrib- uted and bought tallies for our Card Party, we wish to express our sin- cere thanks. Orchids, e s p e cially, to the art classes, the drawing classes, and the print shop for getting out the advertising and talliesg to the shop classes for setting up the tables and chairsg to the chairman and mem- bers ofthe serevral committees, and all those who worked so diligently to make the party a success. The needy students of Woodward should surely appreciate your ef- forts.

Give Contributions To Junior Red Cross HIS YEAR, more than ever before in our histo' ry, the need for funds for the Red Cross has been greater, and support of every citizen more urgent. Why not face the facts? Today, devestation can be wrought by the use of modern war devises in places that took years to build. Then, too, there are the ever constant dangers of floods, fires, and others too numerous to mention. At all of these the Red Cross can be found ready and able to do all that is possible to give aid to those in need of it. You ask how this is carried on. It is supported solely by contributions. Every year the Red Cross has a national drive. Every person is asked to con- tribute. You needn't give a large sumg just give what you can, for you never know, you may sometime need the help of the Red Cross and find your con- tribution worth many times its original value. .l....il.i- Buy A Saga Now S USUAL, during this period of the Saga sales campaign, there is a slump in the yearbook sales. The reason for this is not important. The fact remains that this annual represents all the play and work activities that have taken place in Woodward during the year 1941. To freshmen, the Saga offers a thorough, concise digest of Woodward and its students with which the lower classmen are probably unfamiliar. To the sophomores, the yearbook provides a separate page for the class cabinet and the Sophrolic is duly recognized. The juniors will treasure this book as a photographic album which portrays many pictures of their senior friends whom they may never see again. To the seniors the Saga offers the greatest value of all. Students, teachers, and familiar places are skillfully arranged so that in future years all the happiness of high school life may be brought back to life. The Saga is published by students, it is printed by the boys in the print shopg it is sold for the lowest possible price, and it portrays the life and work of Woodwardites in the last school year. You will be making the greatest purchase in your life when you buy a Saga. Why not do it now? Thanks For Your Diligence ILIGENCE is rewarded by success. Such was the oase of the parents and teachers whose efforts were rewarded by the splendid atten- dance at the annual Woodward welfare card party given November 13.

Twenty years ago the Na- , ' tional Education Association inaugurat- ' A i' ' ed the celebration of such a week in f ... order to put more emphasis upon the A ...., e -2 ' part played by public education in the ' , preservation of Democracy. To make it ' mo re significant Armistice D a y is included in this week. Throughout these twenty years our ideals of Democracy have remained unchanged and until a few years ago unchallanged. Now there is a serious threat to every Democracy in the world. It is so serious in England that Armis- tice Day observance has been cancelled. They are looking forward to the establishment of a new day that will effectively end all wars. Until that day comes there can be for them no peace or safety. Here in America we can still observe the day. So far our country has been spared the necessity for further war. If we all do our part sanely and with- out fear we may still be able to preserve peace. It is interesting to note the change in sentiment that has developed in the last twenty years. When first observed there was an almost universal note of rejoicing that wars were ended forever and that in the future statesmen of the various nations would sit around council tables and d eci de even the gravest and most momentous issues without resort to arms. Now we are again uncertain that war can ever end, and that such bitter enemies as Germany and England can ever face each other in a council However, such a costly and destructive war can: not continue indefinitely. There must be an Arm istice sometime. - i ... y sf- Cfciz?

All of us in our more harassed moments have thought what fun it would be-- and what relief from the daily grind of city life-- to live by our- selves far beyond the last fringes of civilization. But thinking is as far as most of us got. Kathrene and Robert Pinkerton, however have done just this. When the doctor told Robert that he would have to give up his newspaper job for outdoor life, he and his wife Kathrene did not turn their thoughts to southern golf courses or the vacation i les. They couldn't, they had less than one hundred dollars to start anew. So with more courage than most of us possess, the young couple pushed off into the Canadian woods and there literally carved for themselves a home-a home of logs. With no preparation for what lay ahead Kath- rene was soon to become a woodswoman to live for five years in a log cabin..Theirs was a Robinson Crusoe existance, and in the pages of this book are fascinating details of their daily life, and strug- gles, and adventures through the deep northern winters and the brilliant summers.

Woodward's luckless gridders battled till the final gun, trying vainly to push over their first city win in five years. However, the breaks fell the other way and the Bears again dropped a close con- test. Paced by ive seniors, McKenzie, Koster, Przyzbyz, Tucker, and Pierson, all of whom have ended their scholastic football careers at Woodward High School, the Bear forward wall played a great defensive game. While in the backfield Bob Ramer, Jack Rainer and Bob Myneder ended their play in a Woodward uniform in orderly fashion. In the first half the Bears showed a great deal of determination and drive as they took the kickoff and marched 65 yards to the Bulldog five yard line. Bob and Jack Ramer alternated carry- ing the ball to spark the drive. How- ever the Polar Bears were stopped cold at this point and failed to score in four tries. Scott then punted out of danger but the persistent Bears again drove deep into Scott territory although again failing to score. The half ended fvith neither teams crossing the goal ine. The deciding touchdown was account- ed for early in the third stanza when, Boggner, shifty Bulldog halfback, took a reverse, and after eluding several Wood- ward tacklers romped 50 yards to the Bear inch line where he was finally spilled by Przyzbpz. The Bears held Scott for three downs, but Boggner scored on the fourth try. The attempt at conversion failed. Woodward's lone score also came in this quarter. Koster, blocked a Scott punt, the ball went high in the air and bounded beyond the end zone, where a Woodward play- er fell on it, giving the Bears a safety. The final score Woodward 2 Scott six.

Incidentally, all you boys who aspire to be stars, take notice. Mr. Hanhim is definitely looking for a boy to take the place of Bill Copeland. During the six years he has coached the varsity squad, Mr. Hanham has ac- quired an enviable record. The team has been to the state tournaments twice, has one city championship, and has tied for the city championship once. While at school, he played football, basketball,and track. After he received his Bachelor of Science degree at the Michigan State Normal college, he coached football basketball, and track at Ann Arbor High School, basketabll and track at St. Johns, Michigan, and track at Yipsilanti. He was the physical director of the Toledo Boys' club before he came to Woodward ten years ago. Fishing and hunting are his favorite pastimes, while he enjoys officiating at football and basketball games and his summers at camp Big Silver, Michigan. As to his physical appearance, he is 5' 11 tall and sports around, in his nonchalant way, 180 pounds. He has three childreng Billy, 16, Joyce 15 and the latest addition, Judy, 21 months. And to Mr. Hanham, who, we hope, is reading this interview, the best of luck for this year's basketball team.

Senior Members Of Staff Will Be In Cleveland Nov. 28, 29, 30 Senior members of the Tattler staff are planning to attend the National Scholastic Press Association conven- tion, in Cleveland, November28, 29, and 30.

Another feature of the convention is a better writing contest. Awards of valuable books will be made for the best of several types of articles. Woodward delegates at the conven- tion will enjoy dormitory accommo- dations at the Hotel Cleveland. MISS MARTHA LONG ADDRESSES SENIOR CLASS IN AUDITORIUM - . - Y lf Miss Martha Long, daughter of R. Lin- I vox PoP Dear Editor, Because the Tattler is the best means of infoming members and advisers of the various clubs at Woodward of their splendid mass meetings, I am writing this letter. I'm sure that you and all the other students realise the time and effort that a mass meeting demands. Nights after school and hard work help produce these original skits. Therefore, I think the clubs which have given mass meetings this year should be congratulated on their fine work. And to you who will be giving them in the future, we shall look for- ward to your programs with anticipa- tion. A Junior. Dear Editor, It can be done! At the assemblies last Friday, the students of Wo o d w a r d proved that they can be orderly and quiet. During the entire program of both assemblies, everyone gave his undivided attention. When the audience was asked to join in the singing, they either sang or stood quietly and listened. It was a thrill to see everyone salute our Hag as it came down the aisles and then to join in singing the Star-Span gled Banner. I think that it proves that we Woodwardites appreciate the privilege of living in this land of the free where we may still have assemblies and patriotic programs.

STUDENTS SKETCH FACULTY MEMBERS The following descriptive sketches of two faculty members were written by Alice Dyer and Edward Sloan of Mrs. Kathryn Schuler's sophomore English classes. His most out-standing feature is his patience. He holds his temper back re- gardless of how disgusted he becomes. Instead of swearing he comes forth with a loud teh, teh. He generally wears dark suits and the front of his coat is usually covered with chalk. When gig- gling he wrinkles his crooked nose and his face becomes red all the way up through his broad forehead andinto his black fpartly greyl curly hair. After having him for over a year I know now when I hear a sound like a horn that it is useless to look for the boat. Rather, I should look up at my beloved teacher and watch him blow his nose, at which time his face is crimson again. Despite all ribbing, this short, chubby fellow is' loved dearly by all his pupils. My character teaches a language in Woodward. He is slim and this makes him look tall. Mr. X's hair is a golden brown and uncontrollable. His first year classes think him slightly off and his second year class knows him to be the perfect absent-minded professor. He is carefree and nonchalant in all ofhis motions. Mr X. just loves to draw pictures of books, hats, houses, and gardens for his first year groups. He is always pulling a watch out of his vest pocket and laying it on his desk. Then he plants himself lightly down on the edge of a chair with his feet dangling loosely around anywhere. By his past tennis prodigies he is known affectionately as Junior. I am sure the pupils who attempt to learn this language under his comical gui- danceship can mistake him for no other teacher.

C l ar k is again general HAROLD WANDTKE, WINNER OF LUNCH Beginning today, the Tattler will print the essays of the sophomores se lected by Miss Betty Nelson. Following is the composition written by Harold Wandtke. His subject is Clean Audi- torium. Clean Auditorium I have chosen the .subject, Clean Auditorium, because I like the noon movies and I want them to continue. If our auditorium is not kept clean by the student body, there is a possibility that it may be stopped. Anyone who throws paper is not thinking of the harm he may cause. There is a possibility that someone may fall and critically injure himself. And again there is a possibility that this paper can cause a fire through the pro- cess of combustion. There is also the honor of the school to think of. People who visit the school naturally want to see the auditorium, and a good, clean, tidy one will give them a good impression. If this room in the school is dirty, they will judge the whole school by it. We should be proud of our auditorium as it is one of the best in the city. But, how can we be proud of it when there is paper all over the floor? It spoils the looks of it and also ruins it's reputation. The auditorium has been much clean- er since Mr. LaRue called it to the stu- dents attention. But, I still maintain that it can be kept much cleaner if we get the cooperation of each and every individual in the entire school. If each student does his share, it can and will be done. DAYTON IS CITY OF HI-Y CONVENTION. The state-wide Hi-Y Convention will be held in Dayton, Ohio, on November 29, 30, and December 1. Hi-Y club s throughout the state will be repre- sented. There will be about 1000 boys attending this convention. The boys will be entertained in the homes of the people in Dayton who have volunteered for this purpose. Several banquets will take place in many churches. The largest banquet will be held in the cafeteria of the National Cash Register Company. Woodward will be represented at this convention by Vernon Gribben, presi- dent of the Senior Hi-Y, Wayne Will- iams, vice-president, Carl Rokicki, and Dave McNitt. Doctor Slutz, who has spoken at most of the newspaper organization meetings, will speak at the convention. The purpose of this convention is to acquaint the different boys and clubs of this state, but especially for each club to get new ideas to bring back for the benefit of their own organiza- tion. Treasure Island Miss Gertrude Kanney's freshman English classes are now completing their study of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous classic ,Treasure Island. All pupils were required to submit a con- tract or written composition of their chairman of the sixth annual Gayety Nite to be held Friday evening, Decem- ber 6.

Jingle Written By Junior Helen Jane Frankowski, junior, in Miss Hannah Shaw's English class com- posed the following poem on Clean Au- ditorium, in keeping with the spirit of cleanliness. Some pupils think it's a thrill To give their lunch a spill, While others think it a bore To throw it on the Hoor. They do not think of others Who may slip and break an arm, And through their carelessness Cause a great deal of harm. So stop and think before you throw Your papers on the floor, It would not hurt to throw it in The containers by the door. ---Helen Jane Frankowski Wilson Elected To Head Junior Class For 1941 Jack Wilson was elected president of the junior class last Monday when the group chose its new officers.

It's a big assignment--one that can only be accomp- lished through the cooperation of teachers and students. This task is completing the various course schedules and requirements. Many students grunt and groan under the so- called strain of homework. We don't get enough sleep? .... or We haven't time .... are typical samples of excuses given concerning homework. Sleep, how- ever, is never considered on a midnight party nor si --- I haven't time, ever given as a reason for refusing a date. The more homework you get means more home work for teachers. No teacher has enough open periods throughout the day to correct and mark each paper thoroughly. They must sacri- fice pleasures of their own to do thiswork at home. All courses are run on schedule. A three-hundred page book must be completed in one semester. There is not possibly enough time during class periods to do this. Home work is the only solution. Why not recognize this fact and stop criticizing teachers on home work assignments? Sell Gayety Nite Tickets O YOU REMEMBER the fun you had at the Woodward Gayety Nite performancesg the dancing, the splended program in the auditori- um? We'll bet it was about the grandest time you ever had last year. Wouldn't you like to have the same grand fun and even more? You were all given four Gayety Nite tickets to sell. Did you know that you won't have to buy one of those tickets to come to Gayety Nite? Just sell four tickets and you'll get one free. Sell four more and you'll get another free t i c k e t and you can take your-uh-beau. Of course, youid like that because you wouldn't have to pay a cent for the tickets. We know you won't want to miss a thing on Gayety Nite. So let's each and everyone try to sell It least his quota. There'll be splendid programs and a lot of fun. So don't miss it!! Why 'Beef?' You Made Your Own Bed UNIORS, juniors, how could you? Only one per- son to vote for president, and only one to elect to the oiiice of secretary. Why is this? How can it be? Thereby hangs a tale!! If carelessness did not prevail among the stu- dents of Woodward, we would have experienced the hottest class campaign of the year. But a few :annot abide by the rules, and therefore signed more than one petition for a single oiiice. Seniors, too, knowingly signed their names to junior peti- tions thus making them void. A dictatorship could not have been more effective than this problem you, the students, have brought about. Instead of being able to hotly contend for an oflice, the candidates must one by one be ruled out, leaving only one person eligible. Everyone knows that only one petition for a certain office may be signed, so why couldn't we juniors observe this. ???? Who said Milton Mann was a shy freshman?

The awards consisted of letters which re- quired 500 points, first chevrons which nessitated 1200 points, second chevrons 2000 points, and the highest award, third chevron, which is composed of 2900 points. Jane Bieniek, Lucille Duszynski, Laura Kohne, Edna Goldie and Mar- garet Mizelle, seniors, were the only girls to receive second chevrons. Of the twenty-two seniors working for awards, two received letters, three obtained the chevron, and four earned the second chevron. Of the thirty-two juniors competing, two were given letters and four, the chevron. Ten of fourty-two sophomores were awarded letters. As it is not pos- sible for freshman to gain enough points in a half semester for an award, none of the forty freshman girls working for a letter have yet-received them. Two Faculty Teams Tied In Schoolmen Handball League The schoolmen's handball league, which is composed of eight Woodward faculty members, plays each Tuesday and Thursday after school as a recre- ational activity. The teams ofHa rry Wohler and Eddie Jankowski, Leo Robie and Art Smith are leading with two wins and one loss apiece. Joe Dence and Paul Lankenau, Wilson Weis and George Rohrer each have one win and two losses. Six Pre- Christmas Games Slated For Varsity Team The Woodward Varsity has six pre- Christmas games on their schedulefor the 1940 basketball campaign. The first game is with Bowling Green at Bowling Green. This game has been moved up from December sixth to fifth because of Gayety Night. Other games closely following are: Dec. 13---Macomber---Here Dec. 20--DeVilbiss--Here Dec. 21--Ottawa Hills---T. U. The Ottawa Hills game is one of the school games to be played at the Field House. This is a new opponent and Coach Hanham feels that they will be a tough one to beat. HOWARD PHIPPS IS INTERVIEWED With two degrees in his cap and all the knowledge two universities could give him at his fingertips, Howard Phipps, teacher of Latin in Woodward for 18 years, can rightfully support his claim to a family consisting of a twin brother and one sister who are also teachers. After being graduated from Crosby High School in Waterbury, Connecticut, he at t e n d e d Columbia University where he took one year of languages. Yale University ga v e him his A.B. degree plus his Phi Beta Kappa key, and Michigan, his M.A. His teaching positions include one year, 1914-15, at the Ashville, School for Boys in Ashville, North Carolina, and lyl years at Monson Academy in Mass- achusetts. Before coming to Woodward in 1922, he enlisted in the Medical Corps of the United States Army. Being in charge of the National League bowling teams, Mr. Phipps modestly terms the Americans a very good prospect. He, himself, once attain- ed a bfowling score of 278. At one time winning the president's cup for golfing at the Heatherdown Country Club and being runner-up for the golhng championship can both be considered tributes he has paid to his BYW Don Feltman Grabs Top Honors By Rolling Out High Total of 587 And Single Of 203, Amerks Lead L eague With Six Consecutive Wins B4 Three American and National bowl' Forty Freshmen Boys Turn Out For Basketball About 40 boys have turned out for the freshman basketball squad. This number will be cut down to about 25 by the first of the week. The average size of the boys, that is, the weight and height, is smaller than in the last two years. The boys have about a month to get ready for their first game on December 20. The freshman squad plays in the after- noon on their home floor, the varsity plays away from home that same night. Hit-pin Baseball Contests Ended, Volley Ball Started The girls' intra-mural tournament in hit-pin baseball has been completed. The All Stars were the victors in the junior-senior league, with the Renais- sance placing second. Phe sophomore league was headed by the Swifty Sophs followed by the Black Angles. A tie for first place in the freshman section was made by the Pirates and the Green horns. Teams have been organized for a volley ball tournament which is now under way. The junior-senior league which plays on Thursday is comprised of the Tornadoes, Blue and White Stars, Varsity Cubs, Rockets, All Stars, Blue Cadets, Wizards, and the Sub Debs. The sophomore league has divided into the following teams: Wildcats, Duifeys, Swifty Sophs, Black Angles, Spark Plugs, and the Renaissance. They play every Wednesday evening. The Pirates, Torpedoes, Greenhorns, Majestics, Woodwardettes and the Flops comprise the freshmen section which meets on Tuesday. The National Basketball Fedreation has formulated and revised, to a certain extent, the rules for the 1940-41 season. Following are the changes that have been reconized for the coming cage year. 1 A modified backboard has been legalized. 2 Whena ball in play touches a play- er who is out of bounds, it is awarded to his opponent. 3 After the ball is placed at the dis- posal of a free thrower, the throw can- not be waved, a substitution cannot originate from the bench, and the op- ponent cannot request a time-out. 4 In high school games, an oiHcial's time-out in the middle 'of the second and fourth quarters mandatory under certain conditions. Also, one full three minute extra period is always played. 5 A slight change makes it necessary for a disqualined player to leave im- mediately. If he has been awardrd a free throw, his substitute must attempt it - ..-...QS 6 If a free thrower steps over the line of a throw,for a technical foul, the ball is put in play from out of bounds at mid-court. It is interesting to note that officials who referee the games are chosen by the coaching staffs of the teams partic- ipating. Therefore, it is very sports- manlike to accept their decisions. Because of the Thanksgiving vaca- tion last Thursday and Friday, no co-ed bowling, or swimming tournaments were held on Friday. These contests ing teams inaugurated their 1940-41 bowling season in a big way by blank- ing Maumee and Clay, respectively, in the opener two weeks ago, November 16. Last Saturday morning the Nats dropped three straight games to a powerful Macomber squad while the high-riding Amerks swamped Clay under a barrage of strikes and spares to win three games. Don Feltman, captain, leads the scor- ing race in the American League with two big totals of 572 and 587. Zielakow- ski and Walasinski also broke the 500 mark when they garnered three game totals of 532 and 524, respectively. The highest single game in the American League was rolled last Saturday by Feltman who banged out 203. In the National League, the Nats have been bowling with a more or less-green squad. Although the Nats won two games and only lost one, two weeks ago, last Saturday they lost three to make their standing two wins against four losses. High scorer in this league is Bob Kerwin, letterman returning from last year. Tomorrow morning the Nats will bowl against Scott and the Amerks will attempt to down Waite. Individual scores are as follows: November 16 American National Walasinski 189 147 188 McNitt 138 112 Zientek 165 163 148 Myneder 132 114 152 Chapman 134 147 Rose 161 188 128 Zielask'ski 172 162 198 Rokicki 128 108 Feltman 115 Kerwin 174 158 138 Sepanski Getz 13 S 148 November 20 American National Walasinski 192 127 Zientek 182 134 157 Sepanski 137 142 107 Ziela-k-wski 133 162 Feltman 203 192 192 Chapman 137 149 Gribbin 123 103 Myneder 113 114 McNitt 135 120 146 Getz 144 130 183 Kerwin 175 172 133 Szymkowiak 149 151 American League Pinster Interviewed On 40-41 Team A pleasant senior lad and one of the top-ranking pinstsers of the American League bowling squad is Don Feltman. Don stands 6' high, weighs 155 lbs, has brown hair, and big blue eyes. Don is interested in many sports in- cluding basketball, baseball, football, but especially bowling. Don's scores in the past two weeks were 572 and 587. He has struck an average of about 180. When asked where he thought the American League would be standing at the end of the season, Don stated, Very near the top. We hope so, Don. Paul Thomae is Don's favorite teach- er and machine shop is his best subject Don has several very tasty favorite dishes. French-fried potatoes, chicken, and chocolate pie are tops with him. So that's how he keeps in trim, eh? And, believe-it-or-not, Don positively states, No girls.

Przybyz, Koster, Sahadi, And Konz Return From Last Year's Team Coach Homer Hanham has been working hard in past weeks attempt- ing to round out a possible starting five for the first basketball contest which is slated at Bowling Green, Ohio December 6. Coming back from last year's squad are four boys which have had consider- able experience. They are Norm Przy- byz, one of the city's leading scorers last year, an excellent shot, and is ex pected to be of great value to this year's club--Dick Koster, forward from previ ous years, and is performing in great shape at guard position this ye ar--- Mitchell Sahadi, good shot, plenty of experience, a fast passer, and is always a threat to opponents---Leon Konz, a long lanky lad from last year's squad, looks very good at the pivot post. Several boys from last year's reserve squad have been filling in nicely to the forward and center positions. They are: Dave Cornowa, Nolan Ryan, and Jack Seymour. Although the boys mentioned have been working together recently, Coach Hanham states that any player who shows the ability may break into the starting line-up, Other boys who have been working out every night as possible varsity material include Bob M yneder, George Brent, Jim Borsmen, Jim Loyds, Ed Durka, George Bialecki, Jim Hoffman, and Alvin Kimpski. Jack Taylor Announces Plan To Keep Players In Condition Coach Jach Taylor announced -recent ly that in order to keep his athletes trim during the winter months he has devised a new way in which he is able to do this and still not interfere with their curricular program. All those players who are not playing basketball will begin to play vollyball and basketball in the boys' gym. These players are from both the reserve and varsity teams. Coach T-iylor feels that this will keep his athletes in par condition and is sure this will be a great help in keeping the condition of the men faultless for next year. New Intra-Mural League Organized By Freshmen The Freshmen gym classes have or- ganized a league in the intra-mural field which is composed of six teams. One team is chosen from the gym classes of each hour. The new teams will play every Tuesday. They will take up volleyball where the pass and tap left off.

After teaching one year at Nathan Hale, Mrs. McManamon came to Wood- ward and has been here since that time. Reading, traveling, and going to the theater are her hobbies. Blue is her favorite color and everthing to eat makes up her preferred dish. Katherine Cornell and Helen Hayes are the act- resses she likes best. On the question of her favorite au- thor this pedagogoue refused to be pinned down. There are so many worthwhile au- thors that it's unfair to ask me to de- cide upon a definite one, she declared. Mrs. McManamon has traveled to the interior of Alaska along the Yukon River, to Nova Scotia, and to the Gaspe Peninsula, which is in the upper ex tremity of Canada on this side ofthe St Lawrence River. Mrs. McManamon ended the inter- view by saying, It has long been my ambition to travel in Europe, but 1 think I'll have to waite awhile now.

The elections will be held as soon afterwards as possible. Each petitlon must have at least twenty-five signatures. Each sopho- more is asked to be careful to sign only one petition for each class as the signature will be void, and the havoc recently reigning in the Junior class elections will result. Besides being coach of t h e t r a c k, t eam, lightweight football and fresh- man basketball teams, Mr. F e t t e r s teaches Community Life. Miss Pasch is the teacher of fresh- man English. Cocoa Shack Re-Opened The Cocoa Shack, which was opened Wednesday, November 20 in 205, will be continued each day except M o n d a y during the third,fourth, and fifth hours and during a s s e mb ly periods until Gayety Nite. The profits from this pro- ject are added to the Gayety fund. Under the supervision of Miss Angela Abair the cooking classes are selling cocoa and cookies for five cents. Pupils may be excused from study halls only. I vox PoP Dear Editor, Have you ever felt the sting a rubber band left after it hit you? Well, I have. It doesn't seem safe to even walk in the halls of our school anymore. Boys just seem to take advantage of girls and think it's funny when they hit their target. At one time, a girl walk- ing on the second floor during lunch, was struck by a rubber band. That isn't all. A little piece of steel in a tri- angular form was shot along with the band. A physician's care was needed to treat the wound. Measures should be taken to have boys stop this non- sense. People can be hurt, and nothing of this type is humorous. Aggravated Dear Editor, I am the voice of the Tattler Vox Pop. Why don't more of our students write to me? You know all of you have a perfect right to give me your opinions on our school affairs. There are so many subjects to write about. Most of my letters are written by the same people. I'd like to hear from each one of you Woodwardites and get some of your views on our school. Take ad- vantage of our democratic methods! Just write your letter and drop it into the Tattler Box outside of room 122.

Past Woodward Student And Civil Engineer Dead John Paul Hartman, a graduate of Woodard Technical High School and pa stlpresidelnt of the Woodward Engi- neering Society in 1926, died June 7, 1940, after a three weeks' illness. Mr. Hartman was recognized as an outstanding expert in earth fill con- struction, and h is w 0 r k contributed materially to the present knowledge of soil mechanics. He was elected a Junior of the American Society of Civil Engi- neers on December 9, 1935. A roadway leading to D e n i s o n Dam was named Hartman Road. Surviving are his widow, a son, John -Paul Hartman, a daughter, Lee Ann Hartman, and his parents. l NITE .. Constantly, Consistently Constructive TONITE - TGNITE Vol. XIII Toledo, Ohio, December 6, 1940 No. 11 OUR ALMA MATER T 0 BE CLO ED DUR NG JANUARY i WOODWARD TO LOSE PROMINENT KSTUDENTS REJOICE, LARUE WEEPS, l MENTAL PEDEGOGUES IN FACULTY BOARD OF EDUCATION ADJOURNS Teachers Will Specialize 11155 54Daily Assignment Will Be Leading The Retreat T A Broadcast Over Radio Maneuvers RUSH TO HELP LEAD THE RETREAT Station SAP No. 0000001 Gayety Nite will be minus ten of its most able supporters because Horner Hanham, our basketball mentorg Wilson Weis, commercial teacher, Jack Taylor, football coachg Watson Welever, trainerg Bill Feters, track coach, Arnold Brown, equipment manager, George Rohrr, French instructerg Elmer W o h 1 e r, business teacher, Dave McMurray, lightweight basketball coachg and Joe Deuce, commercial instructer have been called away by the draft. In spite of the physical disabilities fsuch as fallen arches, falling hair, and nock kneesl possessed by these ped- agogues, they have been called to the defense of their country because of their superior knowledge of under- handed strategy. This loss will cripple Woodward's coaching staff, but not as much as one would suppse, because they never really added anything of scholastic nature to the school. ,i Horrible Hazel Determined To Make First Page Or Bust Your reporter is now writing at the point of a pearled-handled revolver, Horrible Hazel ,queen of the under- world and head of the numbers racket, has her hard little heart set on being public enemy number one. This ruth- less remnant of an English class is go' ing to break page one or else. Now you may ask what could have driven the formerly respectable and dig' nified Mrs. McManamon to live the life of an embittered and merciless rack- eteer. As adviser of the Tattler she soon discovered the ease with which the staE embezzled athletic funds. Not to be outdone, she absconded with ac- tivities ticket money that her trusting class had given her. - Horrible Hazel alias Mac is al ways dressed in the ultra of fashion marred only by a rank cigar drooping over her lower lip. Her trouble first started when she was caught by school authorities giving instruction in safe- breaking and booze drinking. Mac now operates full-time from headquar- ters in Wilson Park Shelter House directing her vast numbers enterprize, Pap LaRue will install love-seats in the gym first hour to accommadate necking.

Elmer Wohler, business training in- structor was the first to volunteer from Woodward. He will be missed sorely as We can look back at his bald pate on which he tried so hard to raise nice wavey hair. Elmer, who grades very hard, stated when he left for training camp, I'll be glad to get away from youse little punks, I hate you all. Farewell, d e a r friend, Woodward shall remember you in her history an- nals as no one was ever before honored. HF 11 S Bill Fetters will be remembered as coach of the track and cross-country teams although he lost every game due to his unfair tactics. But we love him for this. No man ever gave less time to his athletic or curricular work than he. We and his blonde shall miss him. --- Ride on thou gallant soldier, ride on to Freedom and Peace . Ride on to new girls ---you big lug. PF FK FF Mr. Weis--Mr. Weis' absence will ef- fect every lover of our school for not longer will he write the Lonely Hearts Columnv for the Tattler. Mr. Weis has long been the Dorothy Dix of Wood- ward and has done much to promote love affairs between the students as well as the students and faculty members. Nothing has been done to replace such a loyal teacher so it is probable that the school will provide no business for Dan Cupid. Ain't it a shame? i 1 1 Mr. Welever-How we'll miss Watson's clothes. Those devastating tweeds that add and not substract as he hopes 10 years to his age. Also we'll miss those fancy headresses he wore to encourage the growth of his gorgeous map. 5 1 I We'll sure miss A.J. Brown. VVhen he's gone, who's going to tell us that the blocks on the on corridor floors are rectangles, that a triangle has three sides, that a rhombus is not a lopsided square. Plc Pk PF Now that G.R. was caught in the draft, he claims excemption on the grounds of having contracted fallen arches but his alibi wouldn't hold water So it looks as if Woodward will miss G.R. and his double Dutch accent. JF P11 FF Homer Hanham-What a loss it will be to students of Woodward, what a loss to the intire civilization of the Western Hemisphere, when Homer Hanham leaves for the army camp. This great character builder, sportman, and nature appreciater will no longer be able to offer his incomparable teaching to the youth of our country. Yes, young men and women, Homer Hanham will not only be remembered as a basketball coach of Woodward High School, but as a great master of human kindness who gave everything he had to those boys who started through life on the wrong path. l SF if PF Dave Murray, great liberator of Woodward's basketball teams claims his lottery number was very high and that he received both barrels and was swindeled into the first draft. However, the unsportsmanlike McMurray leaves a few qualities for us to remember him by. Dave was an official at some of our our high school football games, and was usually paid off by opponents to end the games before time in order that we would lose. So long Mac, you rot, we hope you get shot. HK HK S Mr. Taylor -Our fondest memories of Ole Jack himself are those wonderful odors that penetrate the air in room 119. We discovered that he removes his shoes to allow his corns to stretch themselves. Our sneaking reporter discovered that Jackie boy hangs laven- der sachets in his closet in order to kill this unbearable odor. wk PF S Mr. Dence--When Joe Dence leaves, the student body will miss his charming personality but the greater blow will be the loss of his constant support of our motto Jitterbugging or Nothing at our school dances. Our genius has won every cup possible and has done much for the advancement of this fine' art in our school. Joe has promised that before his year of training is over he I will have every man jitterbug-conscious. Teacher Tries His Best To Make Latin Interesting To make Latin more interesting to the pupils Howard Phipps, instructor will jazzanize his classes.

A fee of only one cent for every lesson will be col. 1 lected. Teacher Involved In Scandal Furious Wife Files Divorce In a special interview today, Wilson Weis, general typing teacher, revealed that his wife had just filed suit for di- vorce. The couple has been wed only a year. The main reason for the break was because Mrs. Weis strenuously ob- jected to flirtations carried on between her honorable husband and literally dozens of Woodwood females. Says Mrs. Weis: At first I didn't ob- ject when he returned from school at five or six, and I didn't say anything when this was extended to seven or eight, but when he walked in at nine o'clock, I let loose. In a way it's not hard to understand why Willy could not ,withstand the temptation to stay and talk to those beautiful Woodward dam- sels, but after all, I'm not so hard to tlook at either. I was considered quite a beautv in my high sc V' Y l C. C. LaRue Almost overnight a startling change has occurred that will affect the 2500 students of Woodward High School. The Board of Education has officially announced that the building will be closed for the month of January. Although the two-mill le v y was passed by the voters on November 5, the budget does not permit the contin- uance of the athletic program in any form, club activities, Student Council, o r a n y social e Ve n t s. Principals were given the choice of accepting these drastic measures or closing their school for the first month of the year. Mr. C. C. LaRue realizing that students would not attend under such conditions announced with tears in his eyes that Woodward would close its doors. However, this does not mean the total disruption of classes, as under the joint sponsorship ofthe Tattler and the local radio stations pupils will receive instructions over the air. Mrs. Eula Upp will sendfout statements that stu- dents will not chew gum while listening, which must be signed and sworn be- fore a notary public and returned to her before grades are given out. Morn- ing reducing classes will be under the capable guidance of Miss Kathryn Mc- Clure and Mrs. Lois Draves. The mem- bers of the boy's cooking classes are informed by the Po s t Office that sam- ples of home experiments, cakes and muffins, cannot be sent parcel post be cause of excessive weight. As all instructors will not be needed for this period, A. Dean Johnson has accepted the position of sax player with Jimmy Dorsey and Miss Dorothy Warner will be featured soloist with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra. Miss Edith Murphy will leave for an extended fishing trip in the Caribbean after the Christmas vacation. Various students have been ques- tioned as to their opinion concerning this enforced vacation. Bob Martin remarked, As I am al' ready a learned scholar, I will act as companion for my two months old cousin. The editor is a connoisseur of fine rattles, baby carriages, and the like. Milton Stevenson states, I don't know what I'll do after Lhristmas, but I have a job at a large down town store blowing up balloons to give to kiddies who come to see Santa Claus. Pupils taking gym will be given a special workout in their suits during the morning hours. They will be per- 11113 . N ESSAY CONTEST on cleanliness was recently held but now it has backfired. Due to our over- whelming cooperation with the project we have caused a deep personal tragedy. Lee Bedford, assistant custodian in charge of cleaning up the building has been asked to leave for lack of work to do. Mr. Bedford through no fault of his own now faces the world with little more than the clothes on his back. Students, are you going to allow this to continue? Have you no kindness, no sympathy for a fellow member of the human race? Justone paper dropt on the door once a week by every pupil would nullify this regretful situation. Mr. Bedford, we will bring you back! Have A Heart Bumming Schedule N ASSESSMENT of two cents per student is being asked by the Woodward chapter of the Red Cross. If this annual drive is successful, approximately 500 students will be indebted to you. The collection for this year will be used to aid students to have a day vacation or in other words bum school. It will make these students very happy since they have not been entitled, as yet, to a le- gitimate vacation due to their financial conditions. The money will be distributed so that each student will have enough for the usual humming schedule which is bus fare, lunch and a movie. Every student should help this organization in reaching its goal by donating his share. The more one can contribute, the better chance we have of making these less fortunate Woodward students happy at least one day out of the year. Tax For Triplets HIS YEAR in an effort to raise funds for the purchase of a baby carriage large enough to accommodate the newly arrived triplets of William Rohr and wife, the Woodward Engineering Society is sponsoring a sale of tax stamps. Each pupil is asked to take at least ten dollars worth and it is assured that you will have no dif- ficulty whatsoever in disposing of them, for who doesn't buy sales tax stamps. Suggestions to the enterprising salesman state that the one will find sales clerks and especially churches, clubs, and other organization eager to buy them. So come on Woodwardites, make this venture a sucess. SELL TAX STAMPS! Cupid Miss Nelson INCE OUR HIGHLYiesteemed school has often been compared with a reformatory, or, putting it more harshly, Alcatraz, many so-called teach- ers have taken it upon themselves to act as ward- ens in the hope of wronging our rights. In regard to the lovey-doveys, who while circling the halls worshipfully look into each other's eyes, Miss Betty Nelson has always maintained a strict dislike. But now, because of the willingness of stu- dents to work, she has emphatically reunited many wayward lovers who were drifting apart, playing cupid to Fls as well as A's. This change has received highest praise from Principal LaRue. THE WOODWARD TATTLER Published And Printed Every School Week by the Pupils of Woodward High School. Price lc a single copy.

Cleaner building during lunch hours. Jack 'iGlamour Boy Taylor has finally decided to desert the portals of Woodward and try to love the glitter and glimmer of H-Wood! This golden opportunity came when a talent scout from Paramount Pictures planted himself in the Woodward audience at one of our mass meetings. At first, Joe Podunk, the talent scout, had plans of signing Howard Phipps for the male lead opposite Ann Sheridan---Koh, yes, Jackie will struggle along under the handicap of working with Miss Oomph during the filming of I Was a Fugitive From A High School. J The bright moment came when our dear coach was called upon to give a speech by student demand. When he walked up on the stage, mighty as a mod- ern Hercules ---- grinning boyishly---on the order of Mickey Rooney -'-- and his ears fiopping in the breeze ---like Clark Gable, Mr. Podunk saw the possibilities in this startling personality. Faculty members and students will give a 'fBon Voyage dance tonight at the Commodore Perry Hotel. The dance will be quite, quite formal and will be by far the snootiest affair in many a month. The Great Art Far be it from Woodward's faculty to object to gum chewing, and to prove it they are sponsor- ing such a contest in the auditorium December33. Each student will be given a package of Beemans, Spearmint and Black Jack to decide which one gives the best results. After pondering over this, the chump, oh! we mean champ, from each home room will be entered in the final contest. Classes will be held after school, beginning Mon- day, to instruct the students in this fine art. Prin- cipal LaRue will donate his services and he has already invited C o rr i n e Kalinowski, champion gum-chewer of the world to speak to those present and to demonstrate some of her figure work. Miss Kalinowski holds the record of 200 chews a minute, and she has held this record since childhood. Floyd Lords, Miss Ca t h erin e McClure, R. K. Sheline, Miss Amie Miller, Myron Skinner, and Mrs. Kathryn Schuler have begged to serve Psjudges since they all hold honorable positions in the Chew More Gum Society. Winner will be awarded a trip around the world, all expenses paid so that they may give a demonstra- tion of their talents, and observe the champion masticators of other countries. The Golden Era At last Woodward's faculty has voted to instal all of the modern conveniences which it has so long been lacking. To start the ball rolling, revolving doors will be placed at all exits. Joe Dence and Miss Annie Wet- terman were the instiga Lors of this improvement. After spending all day running around and around in a revolving door at the National Bank, they hit upon the idea of having them here at Woodward. Mirrors will also be put in. Too many of our male teachers go around with mussed up hair, aresult of too much co-ed attention. As a special favor to Hugh Montgomery a large mirror will be put in his room so that he may comb that wild mop of his, both of his hairs. Miss Angela Abair will be given new ingredients for her cookies at the coca-shack.This came as a re- sult of a pure food test here at Woodward. It was discovered that she had been substituting sawdust for flour. I-'appa LaRue feels sure this will be a great event and will go down in the annals of Woodward's history as the Golden Era. Outside The Bookends Today we turn to the classics for our weekly book review. Due to the high I. Q. of the student body, we feel that only a book of this kind is worthy of our consideration. And so, we will discuss that famous epic Little Anne Goonyf' The story is centered around the little girl, Anne, and her almost human dog, Zerro. As the novel opens, both Anne and her pup are living with a mill- ionaire, Mr. Bullion. In his household, Anne receives good care, a pony, the love of the servants, three squares a day fplus a bed-time snackj and a new hat for Easter. Due to a reverse in fortune, Mr. Bullion is left penniless and Anne loses the above. Zerro's loss stands at oneflj bone,buried in the back lawn under the oak tree near the walk which leads to the stables. So the two are thrown out into the cruel world to ind for themselves. If you want to find out what happens to these two adventurers, purchase a copy of the big little book, Little Anne Goony at any Kresege five and ten-cent store.

With amazing courage, the boys faced the ferocious 250 pounders on the girls' teams, the crowd in the stands breath- less with anxiety for the poor boys. Time and agian, as the boys dribbled down the iioor, one of the femmes, like a streak la big streakj of lightening, managed to grab the ball, run with it, and bat it into the basket. By the end of the game, with a score of 206-0, the audience was so excited and tired, that they went to the after-game dance and tripped the light fantastic. New Baseballs New baseballs will be given to Wood- ward as a donation by Floyd Lords who swiped them from Webster schoiol. He got them by offering the third and fourth graders candy and then knock- ing them down and taking the balls away from them. Woodward Varsity Adds Famous Talent To Roster Woodward gridders will receive new uniforms for their coming year. These uniforms are a gift of the Green Bay Packers' professional team who were very much impressed by the fine showing the Bears made against Lima South. The Bearmen, as you will recall, won this game. In addition to the new uniforms, four players will be added to the varsity. They are Whizzer White, former De- troit Lions' professionalg Davy O'Brien, Texas Christian star, Bill DeCorrevant, Northwestern flash, and Tom Harmon, Michigan luminary. These players were so impressed by the Bears' brilliant playing that they signed up immediatly to play for nothing. All are taking post-grad courses in home economics. Miss Abair stated, These handsome lads are the best ever. You oughtgto taste Tommy's mpoversf. WINNING STUDENTS HELP Torn FACULTY Cloud Of Dust Bewildering To Immense Crowd Of Fans The annual faculty-student track race was a great event. Eight thousand spectators crowded Woodward's splen- did stadium to see this race. The run- ners were Gernheuser, Ressler, McFar land, Malko, Fetters, Hobie, and Mac- Murray. The gun went 05' at sunrise.The boys were lined up in this order from the outside to the inside of the track, Fet- ters, Gernheuser, MacMurray, McFar- land, Ressler, Robie, and Malko. The three faculty runners were off with the gun. The student runners were right on their heels. The teachers wouldn't let the students pass. The boys lagged far behind the teachers. Then, to the man, they put on a great surge of speed. Swiftly they pulled up on the faculty members. So swiftly, in fact, they created such a cloud of dust that they couldn't be seen. When the dust had all cleared the boys were run- ning steadily. To the surprise of every- one, the teachers completely sprawled on their--er-um-backs. The boys had slipped right thorough the teachers legs and had upset them. As soon as they had recovered them- selves, the faculty members took up the race again and finally caught up with the boys. Every runner was running steadily and then each and everyone of them put on such a surge of speed that all that could be seen was a splotch of colors from the suits the runners were wearing. Although the race was a tie, the game was forfeited to the boys. At the finish, the faculty members were riding on the shoulders of the boys. Unable to Hnish the race under their own power, the faculty members had fallen in the middle of the track. So as not to injure the teachers, the boys had carried the teachers across the line. Teachers Inagurate New Type Bowling Alley Bawls With advent of faculty bowling, new types of bowling balls were inaugurated by the teachers last Wednesday eveing at the Auditorium alleys. Miss Belle Joseph used the triangle shape ball which yielded to its thrower a high score of 56. The other type used was the elliptical shape ball which Clyde Van Tassel had trouble in throwing because of its wobbly approach to the pins and only banged out a score of 39. Mis s Annie Wetterman erected a screwy contraption w h ic h catipulted the ball directly at the pins. The Ger- man teacher took the honors with the terrific score of 198. Difliculty arouse when Miss Hannah Shaw, who acted as referee, disputed Miss Wetterman's scoring by declaring it unfair to deliver the ball by artificiar means. Deeply hurt, the German teacher took a swing at the English instructol and the fight was on. After both teach- ers had suffered black eyes, cuts and bruises, Charles La Rue intervened and brought the scrap to a halt. An inquest was made by Mr. La Rue and as a re- sult both teachers will be suspended from bowling on Wednesday. Approximately twenty-five pupils of Woodward's French department visited the Art Museum yesterday to see the exhibit of European Masterpieces which were on display at both World's Fairs. Notebooks of Treasure Island which included written questions and answers, character sketches, pictures and drawings were made by 125 mem- bers of Wat s o n Welever's freshman English classes. i LAST GAME OF THE SEASON Fhzhz Breaks Through To Win, Place, And Show Pokalowshkoqhyshewzowski Hits Seven Homersg Bloomer Boys Win Tilt -' 34 Here we are, ladies and gentleman, I-Iughy To Be New Coach Of Super Hoockey Team Hugh Montgomery, wizard of the rink, is organizing a hoockey team to meet Michigan, Ohio, and Canadian teams.

Notre Dame Defeated By Woodward Midgets The mighty Woodward Polar Bears trounced the Fighting Irish from South Bend, 70-O in a post-seaaon game held last Friday night in Woodwardls beauti- ful new stadium. Coach Elmer Layden, from Notre Dame, threatened to quit coaching foot- ball after the drubbin g his team received from the small Bear team. Coach Jack was found drunk the next morning in the city jail after a night of jubulant cel- ebration over the great victory. The little boys from the North end sent Saggua, all-American back from Notre Dame, to the hospital with rai- nor injuries such as a fractured skull, a broken neck and leg, and a sprained arm. His back bone was announced as a front bone at the hospital yesterday. Ottawa Park Scene Of Snowy Golf Tournament Snow and cold do not daunt the fearless Woodward golfers as they held a practice round last Saturday in prepa- ration for the coming link season. The links men arrived at the beauti- ful Ottawa Park layout, membership by exclusive rights only, and immedi- ately dashed out on the first tee. Coach Phipps teed off first and hit a long bounding ball to shortstopg that is, 125 yards. As Coach Phipps stooped down to throw his ball out of a hole one of his squad lifted his wallet gently from his pocket. A relay system was used in passing it back, but the last man on the squad ran and didn't stay to divide up the money as any honest golfer would have done. After a very eventful day, Fast Pencil Phipps commented, I don't mind their stealing my money, nor kicking me in the-posterior, or even smashing up my new car--but when they swipe that picture of glrat oomphish blond--I'm getting ma . Bowling Alleys To Be Built In Woodward's Nurse's Room Because the girls taking bowling are such whizzs, ten alleys will be erected at Woodward in the very near future. The alleys, which will be of course, be of only the finest and newest type, will be erected in the nurse's room. It is thought the gentle t a p p i n g of ball against pin will lull the many students who become ill in school. This location will also be convenient for the students who occasionally go to the nurse when they are too sick to attend class, but not so ill that they are unable to bowl a few ames. at the last and biggest game of the season. The bands are down their on the field marching around. Une band's going one way and the other band's going the other way. 'l here they come, ladies and gentlemen, toward the mid- dle of the field. The Blacks are playing Drink to Me Only withe Thine Eyes and the Whites are playing t l'he Old Apple Tree. Oh, my what 2 scramble. Ladies and gentlemen, both bands met in the middle of the field and are all mixed up. Some are sitting down, some are lying down, and what's that they're playing? Oh, it's Sweet Adelinef' Here they come, ladies and gentle- rneng the uniforms on the Blacks are black velvet tights and black jerseys. The Whites are wearing satin bloomers and white wool blouses. The game's about to start. There goes the gun, and the kickoff. The Whites receive, and it's a pass. Oh, he knocked down the whole Black team and the referree. It's a strike, 12 men with one pass. It's the second quarter now, ladies and gents. The Black's center receives. He dribbles down the field and skins his putt right into the cup. The score now, ladies and gents, is forty-love! Now it's the White's up to bat, here comes the pitch and it's a hit, into the basket for a touchdown. The Whites' kick for the extra point, and its a goal, right down the alley for a strike. It's the Black's first down and three laps to go. The White's are using a double wing back, 6-2-2 defense. Zackar- ombizewishkowski receives, and Poka- lowshkophyshewzowki is running inter- ference. They're marching down the field, 10-20-30-40 yards. They've broken through the Whites line. Oh, Oh! Here comes Fhzhz, the VVhite's best tackle. Fhzhz pulls upg here he comes. They're running neck and neck and they cross the nnish line, through the uprightsrto win, place and show. The game's over folks, but stick around. There will be a wrestling bout in a few minutes. This is station D-O-P-E-Y of the purple N.U.T network signing off. Art Smith Decides To Start Something For Woodward Art Smith, former football coach, has decided to start something of great beneit to the basketball team. He is heading a knitting circle to knit red fiannels, knee socks, beanies, mittens, and nvmerous other articles. You see, as a special economy, they have decided not to heat the building for the cage tourneys this year. Since spectators always wear their heavy coats, it won't be necessary. With these new garments, the players will be kept very warm. Mr. Smith himself will do no work. His job is to sit idly by and see that the others do well. Clyde Meek has a pair of beee-utiful bright yellow and purple socks nearly finished for Dick Koster to wear. Several beanies with a rainbow design have been finished by R. K. Sheline. Circle members are having difficulties with L. C. Clark who insists upon wear- ing the red ilannels he made for Mitch Sahadi. Floyd Lords is knitting a gor- geous pair of green mittens to keep Bob Myneder's hands warm and keep him from dropping the ball. Magnetic Baskets Woodward will install magn etic baskets in the boys' gym where all games are to be played. They will at- tract leather and can be switched on and off at will consequently when Wood- I FLfY'1 bFL Q Since to-night is Gayety Nite, all you students will have a party in your next hour classes.

Students participating in this most marvelous of plays are the following ex-celled mates creating the immortal roles written by Shake-a-spear-at-me- and-I'll-stab-you-in-the-back: Jim Earle playing Hobo Johnson, the wavering troo-bad-or who galantly kisses the dishwater mitt of Lois Ott portraying Lady Alice, only to bitterly regret the taste of quinine she had smeared on her paw to stop chawing her thumb, and the handlebar mustache villian Joseph Sahadi, popfularl eyed Pete who yearns for the radishing Lady Alicefpoor guyljbecause it was rumored, qNow don't you dare tell a solelj that she's got plenty of dough to paint the town red withtif the pie is razzberryj Other misunterpreted characters in- clude Jack Kale, the court jester, who thought it romantic to drop the iioeing pigtails of Dorothy Morgan,the peasant milkmaid, in the cows own brew. This program will be given on the Monday following the third Tuesday of the second month by the Radio Corn- Producing Guild. Special in e n t i o n should be made of the mighty efforts of Kenneth Zimmerman, who shouted, One, two, three, testing! into the microphone during the productions of Silo Mariner,The House of Clark Gable, and The Hill on the Moss. Principal parts in the coming plays will be played by Leon Konz, Oliver Fischer, and Alvira Hider. Every student, with the school's interest at heart, should listen atten- tively from 6 till 7:30 a.m. to station 3 H E, since the program is on station After a long conference between the officials of the Scott-Woodward game it was unanamously agreed that the Bull- dogs' touchdown was garnered on the famous Cornell-Dartmouth fifth down play. Moving pictures proved this fact beyond a doubt, and the Scott coach immediately agreed that the Bears were the winners by a 2-0 score. IF Sk IK Doc Spears, the new head basketball coach at Woodward High School, has added T. U. and Penn. State to the Bear schedule that already includes Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Dartmouth. HF li ' Looking forward to a successful track season, Coach Bill Fetters has asked me to make the following annoucement through this column: All boys on last year's track squad are to report to Billy at 1:30 Monday afternoon in room 213. Just to insure Woodward of their 10 straight Ohio Track Championship trophys, Fetters has hired such nota- bles as Jessie Owens, Don Young, Glen Cunningham, and Tommy Boggs to run on this year's squad. German Club To Sell Coffee Gayety Nite As in former years, Miss Anne Wet- terman's German club will again sell coffee and cakes as their Gayety night concession. Previously, girls acted as waitress, but this year four freshman boys, namely, William Anderson, Rich- ard Emrich, James Knierien, and Oliver Fisher, will fill the role ofwaiters. The concession will be constructed in room- 118, which is especially interesting be cause of the many paintings and posters li- Dot Warner, Eva Leu, And Myrau Skinner Throw Daggers---But Miss During the long hour of the night while all the Woodward students were' under the powers of the sandman, a delegation of teachers from Woodward had a hot debate that lasted until the wee hours of the morning above Snook- er's Pool room. Oiiicial reports have been pouring into the office of the Tattler concerning this debate between Mrs. Leu, Miss Dotty Warner, and Mr. Skinner, three typing teacher at Woody Hi. It was all started by Dotty Warner when she decided to resume her posi- tion as a typing teacher, but only upon one condition. This condition was to rejuvenate the morbid and drab looking typing classes. Miss Warner, in a fury of rage, declared that it positively dis- gusts her when she has to look at one hundred compositions and come out see- ing spots before her eyes--by the way she has two beautiful gray eyes. She suggested to add color to the classes. For example, the typing ribbon could be made into blue and red combina- tions combined into rainbow colors. She admitted this would make a much more attractive looking composition and help add gaiety and color to her classes. But Mrs. Leu staunchly objected because she said she couldn't notice the difference in the color of type, due to her color blindness, so she didn't see why that issue was so important. Mr. Skinner was wise and offered no opinion for he was drinking all the black coffee he could possibly consume. He wished to stick it out till the finish for he knew when Mrs. Leu and Dotty were at bat, the innings would belong. When you pressed akey you simul- tanously struck a note, and if you were a very good typist, and Mrs. Leu and Miss Warner proclaim they are the best teachers in this subject, you could pound out possibly sixty words a min- ute, therefore sixty notes a minute: thus when the notes were combined they would formulate into beautiful minuets, waltzes, or andantes, of which Mrs. Leu is so fond. But as always, Miss Warner met this suggestion with strong opposition. She referred to this dull of Mrs. Leu's as a hinderance to those who were asleep in her room, and Miss Warner is a great advocate of having enjoyable classes. As all things must come to an end, our radio was turned off, therefore making it quite impossible to obtain any further information concerning the debate, but if you are really interested to know what the outcome was, just send the top off of your milk bottle along with twenty-five pennies and we will send to you the finals of the debate and a colorful picture of the three debators in action Bluebeards Squad Of Lords Play 'Drop The Hanky-chief Homer Hanham's falias bluebeard'sJ 1940 squad of courteours rode on to Bowling Green last week to combat five Wildcats there.

The gracious Koster outfaked his worthy opponent and cashed in on a chance at his right side for 2 points Not to be outclassed by his brethern of the court, long, lar-ky, dignified, Lord Kunz came across with a stab at one of the Wildcat forwards, he then faded back and drew second blood. Jester of the Court, Don Bieleckie, the ruflian, did some unfair lighting and was thrown out of the contest.

Many times when I was in the study hall minding my own business I was interrupted by a spit ball directed at me by the study hall teacher. Surely it is getting to be very bad when a person can't study without the rude interruption of a so-called ideal teacher. I also have encountered the teachers amusing themselves by playing catch with the paper and waste which should be in the proper containers. Several times I have been struck by a stray peice and the teacher guilty took great delight in laughting in my face. Something should be done to stop them from holding hands in the audi- torium during a movie. It seems to me that the teachers have surpassed the students in being some ofworse be hav- ed persons in the school. It would give me a great deal of satisfaction if each teacher would be disciplined or quiety removed from our portals. Complainingly Yours, .I W, end fLlIl.lJ .l. fl .l 1. .IJIIJ nd Game .

Annual Staff Luncheon Held By Tattler In The Cafeteria The annual Tattler luncheon was given yesterday by the junior members to the staif, sixth hour newswriting class, and several faculty members. The luncheon was held in the cafeteria fourth hour. The tables were arranged in the shape of a four-pointed star with Miss Edith Murphy, Hugh Montgomery, Mrs. Hazel McManamon, and Mrs. Marie Ersig seated at the points. Another faculty guest was Mrs. Kathryn Schuler. Following the luncheon, the entire group retired to the library where talks were given by the saE on their recent trip to Cleveland. The speeches were prepared from panel discussions given at the national convention. Marilyn Schoonmaker and Lilly Sch- luter were co-chairmen of the affair. Faculty Forms New Teams In Handball Tournament New teams have been formed in the faculty handball tournament. The teams are as follows: Art Smith and Ed J an- kowskig Elm e r Wohler and Watson Weleverg Wilson Weis and L.C. Clark, Paul Lankenau and H o w a rd Phippsg and Joseph Dence and Leo Robie. Games are usually scheduled to be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but where business interferes, the games are played on some convenient day of the week. . The first game was played last Mon- day. Mr. Wohler and Mr Welever won two straight games from Mr. Smith and Mr. Jankowski. On Tuesday, Mr. Dence and Mr. Rcbie played Mr. Lankenau and Mr. Phipps.

Ice-Skating Party The Art Klan and French Club are planning a joint ice skating party at the Ice House on Berdan Avenue, to be given on Monday, December 23, from 8:30 to 10:30 p. m. Esther Zak heads the committee from the French C ' ' TATTLER MEMBERS RETURN FROM PRESS CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND Fourteen, too excited to eat, Tattler members journeyed to the National Scholastic Press Association convention in Cleveland, via, Greyhound, Thursday, November 28. Betty Gajewski, Laura Kohne, Mary Latus, Dorothy Dyer, Ellen Gribbin, Kathryn Seeman, Irene Kolinski, Will Rogers, Bob Martin, and Art Bancroft confiscated the seats in the rear of the bus, while Patty Hammontree, Virginia Lobet, Alice Miller, and Bob lfVeber, plutocrats, occupied the ve ry front seats. Six of the forementioned grabbed the back seat and proceeded to eat Kate Seeman's one and only Mar's bar. Art presented a lovely pic- ture with his jaws hanging open for the bite Betty got. Three of the pluto- crats, being glee club members, made it very uncomfortable for the appreci- ators of good music. Bob Martin and Irene discussed the merits and curtains of the homes passed. Intellectual Betty purchased a maga- zine and sat on it all the way. Generous Laura's potatoe chips disappeared be- fore she knew the bag was open. We reached the Cleveland bus ter- minal about l2f45, located our baggage, and began the trudge to the HotelCleve- land. In spite of Saga Suzie's advice not to gawk'at the buildings, that's just what we did. The most astonishing sight to meet our eyes was the great number of pigeons in the midst of the downtown section. In the lobby we were greeted by Mrs. McManamon, who had come by train. After checking to see that all of her brood was there, she registered for all of us and saw that we found our rooms The sighsand exclamation coming from the four adjoining rooms of the girls was proof that they were more than satisfied with the so called dormitory accommodations. Early in the afternoon Betty, Ellen, Irene, Will, and Bob Martin explored the Terminal Building. They first view- ed the under ground railroad tracks and then ascended the forty-two floors to the tower. Up therethey met Laura with her uncle, who told them fwoe to their pursesj that he fcould have pro- cured passes for the party. Everyone then went back to his room to get ready for the opening convoca- tion. Mrs. McManamon and her charges walked to the Music Hall where H. R. Knickerbocker, foreign correspondent, was the speaker. Would you believe it, he has flaming red hair. His lenghty address was enjoyed by everyone. This talk was followed by a mixer dance upon the auditorium stage. At 12 o'clock the party, with the e x c e pt i 0 n of Laura, Mary and Ellen who went to eat and worried Mrs. McManamon because they were ten minutes late, returned to the hotel and retired in order to be rested for the big day ahead. Irene, who acted as if she were from the South and had never seen such snow before, awakened everyone at six a.m. with her exclamation in French con- cerning the change in the weather. After breakfast we met Mrs. Mc- Manamon in the lobby and told her what sectional meetings we were going to attend. We split up into groups of threes and fours so that all of the meetings would be covered. The formal dance and banquet were to be held in the evening so everyone spent the latter part of the day either shopping or primping. At 5:40 we met Mrs. McManamon in the lobby. The greatest problem was the transporting of 1400 delegates in taxies to the Hotel Statler. After the meal a splendid pro- gram was presented. Our group collab- orated witn the students of John Adams, Cleveland, who were at the next table. By this method both Wood- ward and John Adams yells were aud- ble. The dance in the grand ball room ended at 12:30. We returned to our hotel and to bed. Saturday morning, sleepy-eyed and yawning, we attended the breakfast of the Journalism Association of Ohio Schools in the Cleverland Room. Awards to the various schools were announced after we have eaten. After packing we went shopping lbought Mrs. McManamon a Walt Dis- ney Fantasy Bookj and then to the closing convocation at the Music Hall. Sidney Montague, noted l e c t u r e r, author, and Northwest C a n a dia n Mountie, told of his experiences as a mountie by satirizing a Hollywood mounties. Mr. Montague's humorous speech kept everyone in la u g h t e r during his entire address. With the singing of the Star Spangled Banner the nineteenth National Scholastic Press Association was adjourned. It was late so rushed back to our hotel in a pouring rain. We grabbed our bags, hopped in taxies, and reluctantly set out for the station. Luck was with us-- the regular bus was overcrowded so our party had a special one. We asked a young man on his way to Findlay to accompany u s. The fact that he had a portable radio had nothing to do with our request. lFor further par- ticulars regarding this young man-- see Mary Latus.l We spent the time coming home singing spirituals, rounds, and what have you, led by Dot, Kate, or Art. We reached home about 5:30, rather tired but completely happy. The following Monday morning to onr dismay, and Mrs. McManamon's delight, we learned that Mr. Montague had sat wtih her on the train from Cleve- land to Toledo. We still think, in spite of her protests, that Mrs. McManamon inquired and discovered on what train Mr. Montague was leaving. We were somewhat consoled by the cards he had given to her, entitling those of us who were interested, to autographed copies of his new book, which will be ready in February. Guild Gets Response Since the reorganization of the thea- ter guild, 107 students have responded. During the coming week a meeting will be called, at which time a name and meeting date will be decided. Miss Dorothy Warner, adviser of the guild, stated that the response was both overwhelming and gratifying. Columbus Convention Miss Pasch was elected to go to the Columbus convention of the Ohio Education Association for two days, January 3 and 4. Miss Pasch and Clyde Van Tassel, chairman of the legislature Basketball Dances For the fifth consecutive year, the Woodward Engineering society will sponsor the dances to be given after the basketball games in the girls gym The price of admission is ten cents and all proceeds will be turned over to the ath' letic fund. The club will also take charge of checking and sell candy bars at the game to further the fund's resources. William Rohr is adviser of the En- gineering society. CONTRIBUTIONS FOR WELFARE NEEDED Grace Cronk And Tattler Will Collect Garments Tuesday Do you have a dress that you have outgrown, a coat that is too small, a pair of trousers that end above the ankle? A drive for clothing of all kinds will be spo-nsoed by the VVelfare de- partment under the direction of Miss Grace Cronk and the Tattler Tuesday. Warm, wooly garments are the most suitable at this time of the year. Most needed are boys' clothes. Trousers, jackets, and underclothing rate high on the necessary list. Gloves and ga- loshes as well as inner garments will be greatly appreciated. The success of last year's drive has caused expectations to be high for the clothing campaign. The thirty-odd- cases that come to the attention of the welfare department each week need the help and cooperation of all students Bring contributions to your first hour classes. Competitive Examinations To Be Given December 23 Again this year C.C. LaRue, Rev. R.G- Kirsch, principal of Central Catholic High, and A. O.

Mrs. Hazel Mclllanamon Hugh Montgomery Organize Concert Group N OPPORTUNITY to hear great music played by the Toledo Symphony Orchestra and some of the world's leading virtuosos, at forty cents a concert, and for high school students to form part of the executive committee has been announced by George King Raudenbush, the conductor. In past years when orchestras of note have come to Toledo the price has been prohibitive for many student music lovers. Realizing that in order to make a suc- cess of this new venture the cooperation of all groups is needed: young people should take advan- tage of the offer immediately. Hurry and form your group. Remember that the season starts December 16 with Yehudi Menuhin as guest soloist. Thanks Awfully AYETY-NITE and all its work and worries are over for another year, and we wish to extend heartfelt thanks to those who toiled to make this beneficial aifair possible. To the heads of the various departments, to the teachers who strove to make the carnival a success without a precedent, to the clubs and their members,in tact to everybody who had any part in making the annual fun night successful, we give praise and hope that in the coming years we can have other people such as these, who will work, not for the interests of the individual, but for the good of the group. Support Basketball Squad ONIGHT Woodward fans will see the 1940-41 Bear basketball spuad in action for the fir st time this year. For years past Woodward's team has proven itself one of the best in Northwestern Ohio. Besides finishing close to the top every year, the squad has traveled to Columbus several times This excellent record has not been established without hard work on the part of coaches and play- ers. This year fourteen boys have made the varsi- ty team. Every night, for the past several weeks theselcage stars have sacrificed time and effort to make this year's team one of the best. They are well deserving of your support. To get this necessary support, capacity attendance at the games is urgent. Most of our contests are to be played in our gym within easy walking distance from your home. Activities tickets, too, may still be purchased for less than half of their original value. Take advantage of these conveniences. Attend every game and give our basketball team all the support they so justly deserve. Hall Of Fame GAIN THIS WEEK the doors of Woodward's Hall of Fame are swung wide open to admit a worthy person. Few jobs are more unpleas- ant than cleaning up after someone' else's mess. It took hundreds of people to make Woodward the sight it was after Gayety Nite. Papers, broken bot- tles, and trash of every description were strewn in the rooms and throughout the halls. To the ener- getic students, teachers, and volunteers that helped to clean and re-organize Woodward after the car- nival we olfer heartiest congratulations and give you the very best seats in this week's Hall of Fame.

Zie ntek and Chapman also placed with singles of 200 each.The Bulldogs were beaten by a 562 margin.

Familiar Scene In Woodward's Locker Room - N NOW 6 XNPQHOW ANC mhf ar e - K -1 7, AMERICAN AND NATIONALS WIN WCCDWARD CPENS CITY RACE THREE EACH TO LEAD LEAGUES WITH MECHANICS TONIGHT 5 'I4Polar Bears Should Profit By Woodward Loses Tight Game To Bowling Green Thursday The Woodward Basketball squad opened their 1940 season last Thurs- day evening at Bowling Green. After managinga seven point lead in the last quarter, the Bears finally dropped a close decision 25-26. The contest opened in the rangy VVildcat five building, an'early 7-0 lead. However, when the first stanza ended the Bears had evened the score, as Koster hit for 2 buckets from the pivot and Przybyz came through with a fielder. Both teams batted on even terms in the next frame. The half ended in a 11-11 deadlock. In the third chapter the Bears began to function as their right handed shoot- ing artist Norm Przybyz began drop- ping the leather in from all angles. Konz and Cornova also landed counters as Woodward rolled to a seven point advantage. Not to be outdone by the fast moving bears' the highly rated Bow- ling Green squad, by their all-state for- ward, Captain Ashly, tallied a series of goals to even the score. Sahadi then, committed his fourth foul and was withdrawn from the game. Capt. Ashly made good the free toss, giving the Wildcats their winning margin. Although the Bear were defeated, they looked very impressing and should give any team in the city a strong bid for the championship. Mrs. Leona Leonhardt Teaches Girls Dancing Mrs. Leona Leonhardt, pianist, is again at Woodward to assist in teach- ingthe girls dancing in the little gym. Thecourse, consisting of square, social, and rhythm dancing, extends over a period of six weeks. Half of the girls in each class will be instructed in dancing while the remainder may play either basketball or individual sports. Woodward Lightweights Defeat Bowling Green A fast-breaking Woodward reserve quintet downed the fighting Bowling Green squad on the opponent's floor last Thursday, 23-21. Brent was high point man for the Bears with 10 points. Closely following him with six markers was Sloan. A tie score prevailed until the final minutes when Brent pushed in a brilliant un- der-the-basket shot. A hard-dying Bowling Green team desperately tried to tie the score again but their frenzied shots fell wild and the gun sounded as the Polar Bear re- serves chalked up their Hrst win of the season. Brent, Sheline, Wisnuewski, Arlinger McKinley, Kosahowshi and Sloan al saw action for Woodward. l Annual Jr. Red Cross Drive Nets Large Total Of 2892.24 Woodward came through with flying colors this year in the annual Junior Red Cross drive, with a total of 59224. All but nine home rooms had one hundred per cent and three of the study rooms reached this quota. The fifteen highest home rooms were led by Paul Lankenau's with 568 per cent, Myron Skinner, 375 per cent, Miss Dorothea Bishop, 367 per cent, Mrs. Mary O'Brien, 325 per cent, Miss Helen Griffin, 323 per cent, Mrs. Eva Leu, 311 per cent, Miss Eleanor Murphy 308 per cent, Miss Louise Tippet 301 per cent, Miss Katherine Brown 285 per cent, Mrs. Hazel Mc Manamon 285 per cent, Mrs. Mary Crouse 280 per cent, Miss Dorothy Nioklin 272 per cent, Pzrul Thomae 261 per cent, Lincoln Clarke 253 per cent, 42 per cent. Bowling Green Defeat p M The Bear basketball quintet will start the city league contest with Vocational tonight in the home gym. They will meet their first real test and Coach Hanham will learn the true strength of his team. With the Bowling Green defeat last Thursday, the team should be much the wiser, profiting from the experience with the highly rated team. The greaseballs from uptown have a 50-50 record so far winning one and dropping one. Coach Hanham has had a successful record in leading the North-Enders to city and district champoinship twice.

I vox PoP Dear Editor, ' There are only twelve days till Christmas. In almost every window holly wreaths smile at you. Wherever you go vain Christmas trees proudly flaunt their holiday attire of tensil, stars, and lights. But there is a place where every- thing is solomn and dreary, where the spirit of the holidays is smothered and and fighting for life. No! Its not a cemetary, it's Woodard High School. Not even a suspicion of a decoration lurks in the many classrooms, even our halls are bare. Why can't we get together and pro- vide our sound system with records of Christmas carols and our halls with a new Christmas dress. Let's make our building reflect the yuletide spirit. Come on kids. ,. Teeny', BHELEHR. Just to leave a trace of football on your minds, what ever happened to that investigation of Toledo High School Athletics? Surely if the majority of our high schools had clean slates they would force such a house-cleaning through to the limit. ,K FF FK It seems, with the loss of Copeland that the Bear quintet has developed a very ineffective slow break.This phase of their game showed with great prom- inence, as they dropped a close 26-25 loss to Bowling Green. However, this defeat is not as disasterous as it sounds for Bowling ,Green has a very highly rated five that includes Ash, who was as all state forward last year. ik 914 if For the first season, since basketball was introduced at Macomber, the Me- chanics are considered a serious threat in the city championship race. They have a brace of experienced boys and may prove the cage surprise of the cur- rent year.

It is thought that line plnay will greatly strengthen -- George Raudenbush Voices Opinion Of Swing Music When asked his opinion of swing mus- ic, George King Raudendush, conductor of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, proudly admitted, I love it. As Benny Goodman stated in a re- cent article, the only difference between swing and symphonic audiences is that the symphonic audiences engages in no bodily movement except, maybe, goose pimples. Swing music has brought back a lost art, that of improvising. Mr. Raudenbush has been a news- paper writer, a soldier, a business man, a concert violinist,and a conductor. He can't remember when his interest in music began, but he read music before he read print. Before his present position, Mr. Rau- denbush was a concert violinist and concert master in the New York Sym- phony and in the N.B.C. orchestra, also having his own orchestra in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He believes that the To- ledo Symphony has tremendous pro- spects because: First, Toledo is served neither by the Detroit nor Cleveland Symphony, second, the people are very mu s i c al, and last, there is a great amount of growth possible. Statistics On Appetites Of Woodward Pupils Compiled Four hundred bottles of milk, five dozen baked hamburgs, four dozen hot dogs eight dozen hot roast beef sand- wiches, twenty dozen bags ofchips-these are a few of the items that students buy every day in the cafeteria during lunch periods. Between forty and fifty Hfteen-cent lunches are sold daily. Mrs. Cecil Ashbrook has supervised the work for ten years. She has between twenty and twenty-four helpers who receive their lunches for their work. Some of these are N. Y. A. workers. Most of the pie-eaters prefer apple, chocolate milk is by far tops over white, selling three hundred to one hundred, respectively, spaghetti and ice cream seem to be favored in the fifteen cent lunches, roast beef is preferred meat. The dishwasher washes sixteen large plates or twenty-four small ones at a time. There are eight trays which hold one hundred twenty two pieces of silver. Sixty towels are used in the pro- cess of drying them, and three girls and one boy provide the manual labor. Creamed chicken and biscuits will probably be featured as a s p e cial luncheon for the Christmas menu. It looks as if James Nelson will have an addition to somebody's hope chest 'cause he was the winner of a linen set.

This could be classed as a Christmas surprise only a Christmas surprise should be sprung before Christmas and not after.

Oops, iust bumped into Esther Zak, co- chairman of the committee who planned Woodward's first ice skating activity. But wait, let's go back, and get the low- down on this new rival to Sonja Henie- Esther was born May 19, 1924 in Toledo, Ohio, and her first words were, I want to be a libranian, I hope. She has blue eyes, dark brown hair, and is 5, 7 tall fthe same height Hedy Lamarr.j She likes chewinggum, French and George Rohrer is her favorite teach- er. Spaghette is the dish that tempts her at any meal. Natural to her ambi- tion she delights in reading. Badminton and ping pong are the sports rating highest with her. By the way she plays badmition in the Co-ed tournament with Charles Chuck Kas- ten. At present Esther is holding a po- sition in Kresege's five and ten, sellign handkerchiefs. She is a member of the Periclean Society and is secretary of the French Club. Closing the interview Esther states, This is the first ice skating par ty M. HAHN REVEALS U ' 7 ii J . im . U ALL IN INTERVIEW 'Tm done with women! I've been jilted so many times that I'm through with them ,declared dark-haired, dark- eyed, Marvin Hahn when asked what he thought of girls. But then he was quick to add, lf I had one, she would nette. This confirmed woman-hater is 5, 10 tall and the entire bulk of him weighs 155 pounds. Marvin is co-chairman of the French club-Art Klan skate which will be given at the Ice House,December 23 from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. He was very enthusiastic about the skate and said that he knew it would be a big success. Among his favorites are chop suey fespecially the kind his mother makesj and swing music. Boogie Woogie is his best liked song and Ray Kinney is his favorite orchestra. He has played two years of football on the reserve squad.This he confirmed by producing a sweater with a letter on it. One of the greatest thrills he has ever had happened a few weeks ago when he met Tom Harmon. Marvin very shyly admitted that he considered Har- mon his idol. Among his interests in his leisure time are photography and hunting. He also likes movies and basketball games. If you kids still haven't met him see his best friend, Claron Frymire, and he'll introduce you. Meeting Postponed Because of Christmas activities, the' teachers of Latin,Polish, French' Span' ' ' and the m stef U9 will Woodward has ever given, and we hope ish and German will hold their meet Dot S u m m e r s had charge of the- Christmas party given in Miss Dorothy Nicklin's homeroom today.

Refreshments were served. if 3 U Ada Dusseau, Doris Boos, Clifford Jarvis, and Bernice Farnham, members of Joseph Dences's first hour class com posed the committe for the Christmas party held during that period. Refresh- ments were served, gifts exchanged and a talent show given. A profit of 5144.99 has been collected for Shekle Shuflie tickets to date. This leaves about four dollars to be turned in yet according to the number of tick- ets taken in the dance. The Zets led the ticket selling campaign by selling 511.00 worth of tickets. German Club Places Little Christmas tree On Display On the trophy case, opposite the auditorium stands a pretty little Christ- mas tree, placed there by the German Club for all to look at and enjoy in the true, modest spirit of Christmas.

If you haven't guessed by this time, we'll tell you that it's Santa Claus. Who should be better suited for a seat in the Hall of Fame than dear old Saint Nick? Why, all you have to do to get that shiny new car or a new fur coat is to be very good and then address your requests to Kris Kringle, North Pole. So clean out your chimneys and hang up your stocking for our National Hero, Santa Clause on his way. as 1: s --And to the Hall of Oblivion, we not only nominate but receommend that horrid little fellow that re- cords all the bad things yo've done in the past year We Should Be Thankful VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year to you and yours! This is the Yultide greeting we extend to you in the hope that this holiday season will be the best that you have ever enjoyed. We in America know that the music we will hear this season will be the singing of immortal Christ- mas carols, not the sound of shrieking sirens and the wailing of the dying as will be heard over there. Let us thank our lucky star that we are here in America where we will not find a bomb in our Christmas stocking. Then, too, let us not forget what Christmas is, the celebration of the birth of one born to save the world. In the few days of gift giving and greeting exchange, this is often forgotten. The True Christmas Spirit O MATTER Where you go at this time of the year there are abundant signs of the needs of this society or perhaps this needy person or that destitute household, in fact one is tempted to stop and say, What aml supposed to do about it? Do you think I'm a millionaire? And yet when Christmas morning comes around and you see the numerous things that people have brought for you, do you stop to think, Where did these people get the money to get me all these things? The spirit of Christmas is not receiving but giv- ing. The amount you give is not nearly as import- ant as the spirit in which you give it. Although it is true that there are more and more charitable organizations to take care of every year, it is still logical to assume that no one likes to accept charity and these organizations would not exist if there were not a need for them. Let's remember that there is still time to give to the needy--there are plenty of places to give to--- i e p easure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at. the same time our great satisfaction that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun. Dear Editor: I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says If you see it in 'The Sun, it's sof' Please tell me the truthg is there a Santa Claus? ' Virginia O'Hanlon, 115 West Ninety-fifth Street. Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not compre- hensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men,s or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the in- telligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as. certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to our life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as ifthere were uo Virginia., There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry no romance, to make tolerable this existence. We should have enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not beleive in Santa! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all chimneys on Chistmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernatural beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Vir- ginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus? Thank God he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now he will con- tinue to make glad the heart of childhood.--New York Sun. .-ill. A Little Pressure Well, Kiddies, now is the time for all you laddies and lassies to be thinking of toys, holly, candy and that jolly old gent, Santa. In case you've been bad, I'm going to give you a sure-'fire way to insure your getting something for Christmas. As you know Nick comes down the chimney so build a fire in it first. This will blind him when he comes down. As he enters the room take little Billy's ball-bat and slug him. If he's tough, and it doesn't knock him out, don't be doun-hearted. Offer him a glass of brew with a knock-out drop in it. When he falls take out the toys you want and toss him out. Next year he will be so scared he'll put your name first on his list. We feel sure that with these helpful you will have a fine Christmas. fDon't forget this Christmas let's really make Mary .J Night Before Chrirtmas 'Twas the night before Christmas, And there wasn't any noise, Just a lot of snoring Thatwasgdone by the boys. The children were all snuggled, Sixteen to each bed, They didn't need pillows, For they used each other's heads. The stockings were hung By the windows with care, Papa wore them a week, And they needed the air.

Baked Tomato Cocktail Rarely-cooked Goose Peanut Stuffing Combination Onion and Cabbage Salad Sweet Potatoes Flavored with Lemonade One Raw Irish Potato to a Person Steamed Cranberry Pudding with Hard Sauce Cider Cup Soda Water After eating it is highly recommended that you sleep for an hour or so to wear off the eifects of this delicious, delectible, delightful ibut strenu- ousl meal.

What They'll Get I am a kindred spirit so I am going to use my iniiuence with Santa Clause and see that my friends get what they want for Christmas. Did you say, What power have you over that 'dear old man? Well, coniidentally--- I looked into my crystal ball and lo! and behold! Santafs wearing false whiskers. Would he want anyone to know that? Ot' course not---as a result---Florence Matuszewski will find a new boy friend in her stocking-H Bob Mund will re- ceive a Joe Miller's joke book in order to spare the fine sense of humor owned by his friends.

Woodward, DeVilbiss, Libbey Take Over City Leadership The Polar Bear cage squad opened their city competition last Friday eve- ning by handing Macomber a 27-22 de- feat before 2,000 fans in the Woodward gym, Getting off to an early start, the Bears took command in the first frane Bith a 4-1 advantage. Centering on de- with the Woodward five prevented the Craftsmen from scoring a single thld goal until midway in the second- ieater.At the intermission the Mechen pu were still suffering a 19-14 loss. In the last half the Polar Bears built an eight-point head, whice was only tnreatened in the last rfinutes of play when the Craftmen put on a scoring splurge. However Woodward's quin- tet put on the pressure to finishon the long end of a 27-22 score. Dick Koster led the Polar Bear at- tack with four field goals and one foul for nine points. Pryzbysz, Kornowa, Konz, Sahadi, and Myneder all sunk one goal while Koster dropped four in the bucket. My- and Pryzhysz garnered two free points apiece while Koster and S a h a di gathered one. Konz led the free throws with three to his credit. Wohler-Welever On Top In Faculty Handball Matchs The faculty handball is now in full swing with several wins being chalked up throughout this past week. On Tuesday night Mr. Robie and Mr. Dence took a hotly contested game away from Mr. Weis and Mr. Clark. The next night Mr. Wohler and Mr. Welever trimmed Mr. Weis and Mr. Clark, but only after a hard struggle. Mr. Smith and Mr. Jankowski lost a hard-fought game to Mr. Dence and Mr. Robie. Monday night will find Mr. Weis and Mr. Clark teamed against Mr. Lankenau and Mr. Phipps. The standings up to date are: Team W L Smith-Jankowski 0 2 Wohler-Welever 2 0 Weis-Clark 0 1 Lankenau-Phipps 0 1 Dence-Robie 2 0 New Schedual Will Go Into Effect After Christmas For the next six weeks a new sched- ule will be enforced in the frosh gym classes. This new schedule will go into effect after the Christmas vacation. Now that they are all through with volley ball and handball, the frosh will work on basketball. Thefundamentals, passing, shooting' dribbling, and piv- oting will be tought: At first, games similar to basketball will be played. Some of these games are guard pin, divisional basketball, and one-basket basketball. Then at the lat- ter part of the schedule two teams will play regular games of basketball. The new idea is to be under the direction of the gym instructers. May Van Klinger Leads Girls' Bowling League May Van Klinger is still leading the girls' bowling class with an average of 117.

The Amerks, al- though beating Central two games lost one to the Irish to knock them out of their 1.000 percentage. The Nats, how- ever, dropped two to the dark horse team, Ottawa Hills. In the American league game, three men broke through with 200 singles. Chapman hit the highest with a 202, Feltman was second by bowling 201, and Walasinski finished third by banging out 200. Feltman was the high man by hitting a total of 560. Chapman and Zielaskowski were the only other men to break the five hundred mark. They had 504, 501, respectively. Czar- necki of Central hit 211 to take highest honors in the contest. Woodward rolled out a 2537 total to Central's 2389. H fall in defeat before Ottawa Hills.

Coach Hanham's charges are all keyed up for the coming encounter with the Tigers. Ottawa Hills will be the Bears' op- ponents Saturday night at the Toledo University field house. This is a preliminary game to the T.U.'s tilt with Case School of Applied Science. The aristocrats from the West End drubbed Central 42-28 and are proving to be a hard team for the city teams to beat. Big Dave Thompson is the Bears' main worry in this scrap. Konz, Pryzbysz, Sahadi, Koster, and Myneder will probably start both games. Late News On Intra-Murals And Girls' Swimming Tests The Pirates and the Torpedoes are leading the freshmen league in the girls' intra- mural volley ball tourna- ment.

Guessing Score Proves Too Excitingg Students Collapse Two close guesses, one by Robert Pietrac, the other by Henry Alex, forced the Tattler to Hip ye time hon- ored coin to decide which was to receive a free ducat to that basketball struggle of titans, the Wo od wa rd-De Vil biss game tonight. Being broke, we had to borrow the coin from Mr. Pietrac, the Wall Street financier. We were all as- sembled in the gym, and the zero hour was fast approaching. As the coppery coin went spining aloft, the crowd stood with bated breath, for on that single toss hung the fate of of Woodward Heil School. The agree- ment decided upon before this moment- ous second was: heads, Mr. Alex won, tails, Mr. Bob Pietrac won, on the edge, I won QI could use the ticket, tool. But my dreams and fond hopes fell through with a crash, for the coin fell, rolled around, and flopped over---heads it was!

I, like many others, want a convertible coupe and a portable radio: but if you can't squeeze them out of your bag, I Won't feel too disappointed. I have a greater wish that needs a lot of atten- tion. Santa dear, wether you went to high school or not, I think you must know something of the problems and plans of the high school student. He is living in a world more to his own making than he has heretofore experienced, and he is not quite sure how to manage it. So, Santa, this is my wish, make our students thankful and glad that we are living in democratic America. Uuder this system of life We should develop the capacities of our school to the ful- lest. Our clubs organized to give eH'ec- tive service, our classes giving the maximum of cooperation, our athletic program imbued with the sense of good-sportsmanship, our publications putting forth their best--- all these are my wishes for the Christmas season. uMerryn Regular Fellow Presents Money For Charity Basket Just to prove that there still are some regular fellows in the world, Mr. Paul Thomae, adviser of the Mechanical club, related this one: As their Gayety Night concession the mechanics held a raffle.

Miss Angela Abair went the farthest distance. She journeyed to Fort Meyers where she v.sited her sister. Another teacher who went to Florida was Mrs. Mary O,BT16D. Miss Blanche Hazelton, Mrs. Bianca Russell, and Miss Dorthea Bishop, also spent their vacations in Florida. Columbus, Ohio, was the spot chosen by three faculty members. Mr. Clyde Van Tassel and Miss Dorothy Pasch attended the Ohio Education Associa- tion. Miss Bertha Vermilya visited her brother in that city. Mrs. Hazel McManamon and Miss Betty Nelson took a trip to New York City. Among the productions they saw were Helen Hayes in Twelfth Night, Zofina in Louisiana Purchase, and Ethel Barrymore in The Corn Is Green? Jack Taylor also journeyed to New York to visit with his wife's par- ents. George Rohrer, French teacher, spent two afternoons in the Congressional Library in Washington, D. C. copying a book. It seems that the book Vieilles Maisons du Terroir by Joseph Gauthi- er is a very rare copy and in order to get material on French architecture, he had to copy sketches. From there, Mr. Rohrer went to Arlington, Virginia, where he visited his sister. The girls' gym instructor, Mrs. Lois Draves, also journeyed to see her sister in Lorraine, Ohio. Miss Hannah Shaw spent a few days in Detroit, Michigan.

Maroon led the color parade by tint- ing the sweaters of the Alchemist, Art Klan, and Municipal clubs. Sweaters also ruled the roost in the Girl's Ath letic League, white, French, teal blue, Periclean, yellow, Electrical, dull red, Freshman Hi-Y, blue, and Fasces, brown. The four clubs choosing pins are German, Spanish, Student Council, and Engineering.

This statement was announced by Principal Charles LaRue. If a student fails to comply with this request, he will be given no credit for the first semester and he will not be allowed to enroll in the same subject the second semester. Mr. LaRue also stated that this rule is the Board of Education's and not necessarily his.

WEEKS OF VACATION ENJOYED BY PUPILS Woodwardites Ice Skate, Attend Parties, Go Out Of Town Most of ou r Woodwardites made gofd use of the two weeks vacation period by attending everything from ic e skating an d private parties -o visiting relatives and friends out-of town. Among those who traveled w e r e Maijorie Weeks, who went to Detroit, Michigan, Alice Miller, spending a few days in Upper Sandusky, Betty and Patty Woods had their Christmas in Pittsburgh, Pe11nsylvania,vwith an aunt and uncle, Frances Beery v i si t e d friends and relatives in Fostoria, Eddie Rodebaugh journeyed to his grand- mother-'s home in Chicago, Illinois, Larry Everett spent part of his vacation in Pontiac, Michigan, and Ray Pierson went to Columbus, Ohio, to bring back a boy friend of his. After it finally became cold enough, many of our lads and lassies tried out their s h i n i n g new ice skates. Some found that C h ri s t m a s caroling and parties are lots of fun. Club 17 sheltered numerous Wood- wardites during the evenings of the vacations.Yvon e Farah rendered a few songs one Sunday evening. The New Year's Eve Ball held at the Y.M.C.A. was one of the most popular and well-attended affairs of the holi- da s. Honey Serafin and graduate, Jack Tolford, Dick Malko and Lois Schoon- maker, Dorothy Krajewski and Joe Johnson, Virginia Clark and Earl King and many others were there to help the new year get a good start. LeRoy Heath went on a scavenger hunt New Year's Eve. He hunted for everything from signatures to cat-tails. Edith's Sweet Shoppe was the favor- ite rendezvous of several north-enders. Here's One Way To Spend An Eventful Holiday Vacation After many f?j deep and sincere en- treaties to tell my version of the mumps, I take my pencil and Bright and early, the day after Christmas, I was awakened, not by the chirping of birds or the whispering of the gentle morning breeeze,as would a more liter- ary account offer, but a fierce throbbing in my ear. Attributing it to the noise that had assailed my delicate auditory organs the day before, I merely turned over. But upon arising from bed, I dis- covered that the right side of my face and under my ear had swollen consider- ably. Then there fell upon my ear the dreadful verdict, mumps. Resignedly, if not cheerfully I climbed back into bed! a place where I was destined to spend my hard earned vacation! and began clamoring for this and that. By the end ofthe day I had accumulated a borrowed radio, a dozen or so novels, coloring books, crayons, and puzzles qyou see, I went juvenilej According to trad ition,I was supposed to miss a few meals because of an inability to open one's mouth or chew, but I waded through three meals a day, stopping frequently to hold my abused jaw and groan. My diet consisted of s o u p and cereal, mostly, although occasionally my sweet tooth would ache, and I would call for a cookie, only to find myself unable to eat it. Of course, on New Year's Eve, all my plans for stepping-out had to be cancelled, and I stayed home in bed all by myself! Oh, well! The rest of my sojourn was uneventful and I returned to school, none the worse for my experi- ence, only to be hailed on all sides by I-IJ .lVI1rrnnal'?., .L LL, .L A..........,. ry oo 6eE'by fhe Pupils of Woodward High School.

Act Now Don't Wait HE END OF a semester once more approaches on cautious cat-like feet, creeping out of time into the present. Again students begin to bite nails and attempt to cram knowledge where a void now exists. This, in truth, should emphatically not be the case. If daily work had always been prepared, no single person would have to tremble and quake at the seemingly horrible thoughts of exams. After all, why should exams inspire such terror on the part of students? Think of the dreadful amount of labor our teachers must slave at to write a small, even though it is significant, grade on some class member's card. Start The New Year Right NEW YEAR is hereg194O is but a memory. How will you remember this past year? Proms and similar activities probably have been the high points in many students' lives. But can you honestly say, I've gotten all I possibly could from 1940 in knowledge as well as pleasure? Dances, skates, and other extra-curricular activi- ties are offered to take the strain and drabness from school life--to help the student enjoy going to school. Although these activities are important in any high school program, education is still the primary reason that expensive buildings are con- structed and large staffs of teachers hired. In almost every morning bulletin there is read the names of students who have permanently withdrawn. In some cases, change of address and other unavoidable circumstances force the student to withdraw. On consulting others, however, we hear, I was tired of it, or I had a chance to get a good job. Are these fabricated excuses sufficient reason to give up your education? In the coming year let's increase the numbers on the Honor Roll, decrease the failures, and still have a good time. It can be done! Hall Of Fame HIS week the doors of the Hall of Fame are wide open to receive three-fourths of Woodward. This majority came to school last Monday. They realized that their two weeks' vacation was over and acted accordingly. Who is better suited to at- tain seats in the Hall of Fame than these Wood- wardites who know how to be honorable with their school as well as with themselves--W And to the I-lfill 'of Oblivion it remains only to be said that none could be better suited than the remaining one-fourth mentioned above. Don't Ruin Our Reputation HAT A SHOCK? How surprising to see Woodward students booing the opposing team ond complaining about the officials. These unsportsmanlike actions tend only to show our own ignorance. In past years Woodward has been noted for its display of good sportsmanship. This reputation has been surpassed only by the record of our basket- ball squad. This year, however, we have lost a few opening games. Criticism and insults have been thrown at our victorius opponents. What opinion do you think they are forming of Woodward?. At future games it would be well to remember that a good sportsman can take both victory and rlnfnnf :nil-l1 annul nnian nhrl 'r-nnrdnefv l' ' ' ' ' 'I 'I I' F-I 'WWW' ' l A few weeks ago glaring headlines in all the United States newspapers announced the loss of aTranscontinen- 1' In 41-. tal Airliner with its crew and passen- K 3' X za .X gers. For some reason not apparent when first discovered, the plane had . -1 v crashed in the Rocky Mountain Area and an immediate inquiry was begun to find reasons for the tragedy. After a full and searching investigation the report was made public that only one of two possible reasons could be given for the accident. Either the beam had failed or the pilot had for some reason lost it. Ten years ago a report of this kind would have been impossible or if possible would have been un- intelligible to the general reading public. Now practically every high school student is familiar with the method of dying an airplane on the beamf, Stay on the beam has become a common expression almost too significant to be classed as slang. It is typical of the unparalleled change in our industrial conditions during the past few years. How many youngsters today have caught the real significance of staying on the beam ? Our conscience, the good advice of relatives, teachex s, or friends, yes our very character becomes our 'fbeamf' To stay on it means a useful happy life and a joyful landing away out there in the future. To stray away from it, means a journey fraught with serious danger ending possibly in destruction. Let's think this over carefully. Stay on the beam.

What's The Matter With Them What's the matter with high school girls? They wear too much make-up--Some are too sloppy--They would rather go on a date than do their homework--They say they are on a diet but they're always eating--Gossipping is their main pastime---They always talk about their old fiames on a date. Wbat's the matter with high school boys? They always talk about something that doesn't in- terest the girls---They never want to go to dances on a date-- They always play hard to get, when they aren't--They tell every girl they meet that she is the most wonderful person in the world--- They're always bumming their classes-- They always want their own way.

In the city the Woodward tive was defeated by DeVilbiss and Ottawa Hills, while countering with a victory over Holgate Ohio At Holgate the Bears looked rather impressing piling up a halftime lead of 8-11 with Bialecki, Przybcz, and Koster doing the scoring. The remaining half, the Bears put on a scoring splurge and finished the contest with a 37-18 margin over Holgate. Koster led the Bears scor- ing with 9 points. Coach Homer Hanham was given a chance to test his reserve strength, which showed to a good advantage. Every player was used in the encounter. Against DeVilbiss the Bears got off to a bad start. The Tigers were hitting and banged away a 20-12 lead at the intermission. However, in the third stanza the Woodward cagers began to move and tied the score. But the con- sistant shooting of Schweikert and Poebke again put the tigers in the lead, which they maitanined till the finish of the contest, 37-31. Ottawa Hills' rangy squad topped the Bears in height, as they chalked up their fifth straight win of the season defeating Woodward 40-24. Big Dave Thompson led the Hills outfit with 22 points. Winter Schedule Begun All boys gym classes are starting their winter basketball season. On Tuesdays they will practice relays in basketball. Guard pin will be played on Thursdays.

Leo Kubiak sunk seven points and Bob Long gained two baskets. Chet Stefanski and Bob Klein gained three points and two points respectively. Al- though gaining no points, Jim Knierem played an outstanding defensive game. The Bear frosh meet Libbey this afternoon after school on Woodward's oor. Polish Lits Lead Intra-Mural Race In Independent League Intra-Murals wound up their volley- ball season last year. The Polish Lits emerged the victors in the Independent League, and the first hour and seventh hour were tied for first place in the Freshman League. The clubs maintained the following order in the Independent League for the volleyball season: The Polish Lits took first place, the Rens attained second place, and the Mechanics came in third. The Polar Bears took fourth place, and the Gridders came in fifth. The Machine Shop, Print Shop, and Triangles attained sixth, seventh, and eighth positions, respectively. In the Freshman League, the first and seventh hours were tied for Hrst place. The fifth hour and sixth hour attained third and fourth positions, respectively.

This week they began their winter remained 22-21, in the Tigers' favor. Wisniewski was high point man for Woodward with 10 points. He nailed four field goals and a brace of fouls. Sheline and Brent were tied at 4 points each, Arbinger placed next with two, and Kosakowski followed last with one counter. Rumis, of DeVilbiss, led the Bengals with 8 points and was closely tailed by Mahnen, who had seven. Three and two points were garnered by Duncan and Romberger, respectively. Tied at one each were Schutte and Hendrickson. The Bears led at the half by a 13-8 margin. DeVilbiss, by a sudden spurt, tied it at the third quarter and it was nip and tuck until the final gun. Girl's Intra-Mural Teams Complete Volleyball Contest The girls intra-mural teams have completed their fall volley-ball tourna- ment. The All Stars won top honors in the junior-senior league, followed by the Blue and White Stars in second place and the Sub Debs and Rockets in a tie for third. ' In the sophomore league the Renais- sance placed first, the Duffeys and Swifty Sophos took second place, and the Black Angels and Spark Plugs tied for third. First place in the freshman section was taken by the Torpedoes, second, the Piratesg and third, a tie for the Greenhorns, and Flops. During the past week, teams have been organized for the basketball tournament to start next week in the intra-mural leagues. May Van Klinger Still Leads League With Big 119 Average May Van Klinger, member of Jane Bieniek's squad, is still leading the girls' bowling league with 116. Top score in Joyce Stevensons squad goes to Betty Picott with a score of 110. Marion Mundwierler is leading in Evelyn Shames' team and Jean Marie Gertz is heading her own squad with an 89. Doris Morgan,s team is headed by Lois Morlock who has an average of 80. Other high scorers are: Betty Davis, who has maintained 106 for her average, Jane Bieniek, 103, and Gloria Weaver, 102. Wohler-Welever Team Still Leads Faculty Handballers In the last faculty handball meet of the 1940 season, the team of Robie and Deuce was defeated by the Wohler and Welever team. Mr. Phipps and Mr. Lankenau were victorious over Mr. Smith and Mr. Jankowski. Mr. Weis and Mr. Clark did not play because Mr. Clark injured his hand. Mr. Wohler and Mr. Welever emerged the victors in this past meet. New teams are being formed that will be in the charge of Mr. Weis for the meet. Americs Lose To Macomber Will Fight Libbey Tomorrow The American Bowling quintet lost to the black and gold from Macomber on the Saturday before the holidays. Paced by Zielaskowski, with his 150, 199, 188, for a total of 537 the Amerks came out on the short end in the league contest. Oleksiak, of the Mechanics, bowled a 278 for the highest single ofthe current season and another high in his three game total of 700. Tomorrow they will battle the Cow- Riding the crest of a 9-game winning streak, Coach Harold Anderson and hi- T. U. outfit, have definitly stamped themselves as one of the finest in the country. At present, they are far ahead of all state competition and in defeat- ing Cornell and Dartmouth,have made a definite hid for national recognition. The Rockets, led by Gerber's 16-point a-game barrage, have racked up a 53- point average for the season, while keeping the cpposition's average down to 31. il I I Ottowa Hills High, a comparativly new local basketball foe, has proved more than a worthy opponent for all competition in and around Toledo. The Hills quintet, sparked by Dave Tomp- hson, have placed Woodward and five other quintets on their defeated list and seem to be headed for a very successful season. Sk ik it Following the Holgate game Wood' ward Cageres battle the Libbey Cow boys tonight in the latter's gym. This game is expected to be one of the hottests in the city league race this year. Libbey has remained undefeated in the city contest, while Woodward has lost only one encounter to the tough and top-rung DeVilbiss five. Basketball Surpremacy Won By Woodward Freshman Hi-Y The Freshmen Hi-Y won the district championship in their division of the I-li-Y basketball tournament held annu- ally in the Y , over the holidays. The frosh mowed down three in a row to win the crown. In the opener they faced a Scott quintet and barely missed a shutout, defeating them, 14-2. In their next game, against Jones Junior High they breezed through with an easy 18-0 win. The freshmen seemed to be getting better as the tournament progressed, for in the final and deciding contest they put down a tough Clay five, 33-13. The team regulars are Jim Knierem, Glen Weaver, Bill Sellero, Ellsworth Whitney, Don Davis, and Don Weber. LEADING SCORES Captain Jake Przybycz, with a total of 43 points leads the varsity squad in scoring. He is followed by his running mate, Dick Koster, with 32 markers. Although the Bear scoring hasn't been considerably high this season, it is much to early in the campaign to make any predictions. The quintet has been improving steadily and should be in good shape for the Libbey contest tonight. The other members of the squad and their total points, at this time, follow in respective order. Przybycz 43 Koster 32 Konz 16 Kornowa 13 Myneder 12 Sahadi 12 Bialecki 8 Ryan 7 Seymour 2 Kunpski 2 Jackson 0 Wilson 0 Could you just leave me alone with it for a while? the worried woman asked the clerk as she looked at herself Six Foot Team Expected To Be No Cinch For Bear Cagers to the Cowboys' corral for a tough tilt tonight at eight. Libbey has a seasoned, well-ouilt team this year and will prove a hard rung for the Bears to climb in the city championship race. The Ncrth-enders have five starts and three losses as compared to five games and one loss for Libbey. Possessing a big team with a six-foot average, Libbey plays partially a U defense around the key hole. VVood- ward's biggest headaches are Ramydm-ll and Schrnekel, both of whom are six feet two or better. Feulen will prove another Hy in :he soup for the home team. In the past year, Libbey and Wood- ward have split the games, three wins and three losses for each team. So far the Bears have played a very tough schedule, and Libbey will be no cinch for the Hanham boys. Probable lineup for tonight's en- counter will be Konz, Pryzbyz, Sahadi, Koster, and Myneeer. Special Meeting Called To Plan Gity Red Cross Tea A special meeting of the Red Cross will be called to appoint a committee to plan a tea at which Woodward will be host to all the high school chapters of the Red Cross. The purpose of this tea will be to di- vide the work of the Red Cross equally and to give each chapter a dehnite amount. This tea will be given some time after the examinations. , Mrs. Mary O'Brien is the adviser of the Woodward Chapter, and Jane Searles is the president. Payments Due February 1 Students who wish to have their names engraved on the cover of their Sagas free of charge must have their payments completed by February 1., after which an extra fee will be charged Payments will be accepted in room 126- An exciting feature this year will be the results of the popularity contest which has been kept a secret to date. Guess Score Of Contestg Receive Free Ticket To Tilt Don't look now, but the old score- guesser is here again. You can't real- ize the difficulties one has to under-go in writing this gosh darn thing. First of all, there is the trouble of going through all the slips submitted by you, the students, and determining from a maze of wrong guesses the winner of a little ole ticket. This week was espe- cially diflicult because nobody could remember the score by which DeVil- biss beat us. Not one person could re- member back any farther than that hectic New Year's Eve, that is, no one but our brilliant feature editor and Bill Fetters, both of who told us the score was DeVilbiss--37, Woodward--31. Well, we dug up the slips from the waste basket in which I had thrown them in a fit ot temper, and found the winner to be none other than Tim Ball- mer, who split a hair with a very close guess. Now that we have the winner, we still have ahead of us the difficulty of procuring a ducat, but we'll tell you about that some other time. If any of you still want to try a guess, knowing full well the situation that it places us in, go right ahead and try, and I hope you don't guess the right score of the Libbey-Woodward battle to-night.

U I I More J-Hop dates--Lois Roth and Dear Editor, I see no reason why the students can- not act their age during the lunch hours. It is almost impossible for a teacher to teach a class and also for the stu- dents to learn anything with all the noise and commotion in the halls. The students not only talk and holerl in the halls, but also stop to shout and stare at the people in the classrooms by standing in the doorway. This is very annoying. Why can't we all, as high school stu- dents, try to do our part in helping to improve this conduct during both lunch hours? Questioning Dear Editor: The majority of Woodward boys have acquired a pessimistic attitude toward their future life. They believe that there are no jobs. they have no ambition for success, and many of them don't care. They want a job to come to them, they won't fight for a job. They find it 'tsoft in high school a id will try to make the rest of their life soft, too. They have lost faith in Americais op- portunities. America! Where everyone has an equal chance and equal liberties They have lost faith in that our coun try was established upon the principle that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creater with certain inalienable rights, that among these areg life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Remember this! Have faith! And you will undoubtedly acquire anything, if you fight for it with enough persever- ance! A Senior Two Vacations Was ted Two of Woodward's teachers were ill during their vacations. Hugh Mont' gomery was confined to his home be- cause of infiuenza. The mechanical drawing teacher, Mr. William Rohr, underwent a polypectomy in Flower Hospital.

Only casualty was the disappointment at having to leave at four o'clock. Only surprise was more juniors than seniors. Satisfaction was the good music of the colored W.P A. orchestra.

Rug-Cutting Woodwardites Affected By Organization No doubt you have all heard of the ASCAP, the new organization for the protection of the interests of authors, producers, and composers of modern music. But what you probably have not heard is the fact that this ban has even reached into to the sacred portals of our own Woodward. The student council recently invested a large sum of money in recordings, and now, under this new ban, they will be unable to play a majority of the popu- lar platters included in their musical library, unless they pay a large fee. Naturally they will be unable to com- ply with this outrageous demand, It is hyped, however, that through legal ac- tion this ban may soon be lifted. So students, please be patient when you are asked to dance to the strains of The Flight of the Bumble-bee or ',The William Tell Overture. Don't be harsh in judging the taste of the selec- tors as they are only complying with circumstances beyond their control. Just remember that brighter days are coming when we may again dance to The Five Otclock Whistle. The quiz-minded child accosted his parents with: Pin going to have a nickle. True or false?

Thompson I For the next several weeks the Tattler will feature a faculty guest col' umnist in this cornor. The ideas and opinions expressed will be entirely those of the writer and not of the Tatt- ler. This week our guest columnist is O. M. Thompson. --Ed. Note.j Very closely following the invention of the automobile came the Machine Age when everything was manufac- tured by mass production rather than individually. If every person had to make his own car, there would only be a few and they would be very expen- sive. Very closely following this the number of hours a man worked was cut from 12 to 8 hours, and later, in most places, to 6 hours daily. Wages were in- creased so a man in most cases re- ceived a better living wage, but it gave each individual so much free time for himself that schools and recreation centers began to develop hobbies for the leisure time of our growing popu- lation. I will not take time to describe or name all of the hobbies. Along with this movement came magazines to de- velop interest in this growing demand. One of the finer hobbies which is not expensive, and one which is being taught through our universities and schools is the one of Photography. If you have a camera and go to the corner store to buy a roll of film, go out to take a few pictures and then take them back to the corner store to have them developed and printed, I really don't think that procedure is or could be called a hobby. About 25 years ago I got e. camera of the box type for Christmas and took pictures, having them developed. The fad soon died out, and I gave the camera away. Again about 10 years ago, while on a trip up through Michigan, I went back into the North Woods on a trolly and boat trip. About sixty people were in the same group, and everybody had a camera and was taking pictures. I then made up my mind that the next time I togk a vacation I would do as the rest dj , The following year I spent the sum- mer in the western part of the United States. I bought a camera for the trip. I took so many beautiful things that I discovered that when I returned I had no less than 800 negatives with my trip very well explained in pictures. I took some to the corner drug store where they informed me that it would cost me about S50 to have the same put into pictures. The next step for me to do if I Wanted to get them made cheaper was to purchase an outfit and make them myself. After consulting some of my friends, I did that very thing and as a result had my pictures finished, at about one-fourth of the original cost. Naturally, I was proud of my achieve- ment both for the beautiful pictures that I snapped and also in my ability to develop and print some. Very proud of my trip through the West, I showed and explained my work to some of my friends, one happening to be Mr. Sheline. About this time the Saga photographer was having trouble so I volunteered to help out. Since that time, I have taken thousands of pictures for the annual and prepared them ready for cuts. Photography, if you do all of your own work, is not expensive, in fact, it is a hobby if cleverly worked which pays both in dividends and personal satis- faction, plus a lot of pictures that help recall old friends a ' FATHER FLANAGAN THANKS RED CROSS Letter From Boy's Town Expresses Gratitude For Woodward At Christmas time, the Junior Red Cross of Woodward sent a gift of five dollars to Father Flanagan of Boys' Town, Nebraska. ' The following letter was sent to Mrs. Mary O'Brien adviser of this chapter: Woodward High School Jr. Red Cross. Mrs. Mary O'Brien. My dear Mrs. O'Brien: The citizens of this City of Little Men join me in this expression of sincere appreciation for your Christmas gift Of 55.00. I wish you could have spent an hour here on Christmas morning to see just how much happiness you have created among these homeless, deserted boys who were thrown out into the world at much too young an age to understand life's problems. Their gratitude for the opportunities which they have here, and their response to sympathetic care is truly amazing. Your help, my friends, with the help of our other friends, make all of this possible. Ourreward is the satisfaction which we derive in the knowledge that we have helped to rescue these boys from a life of unhappiness and destitu- tion, and have equipped them as young men qualified to take their places up- right, respected citizen, As we continue our work from year to year, more hun- dreds and thousands of homeless lads are given the same opportunities. With gratitude in our hearts, we wish you and yours a most Happy Holiday Season. May God bless you. Sincerely, Father Flanagan. P. S. Your Honorary Citizen's Certificate and your illustrated booklet will be for- warded to you soon. Woodward is the only school in the city to which honorary citizenship in Boys' Town has been given. Slight Peculiarities Noted In Noon Movie Fanatics As irregular as night and day are the patrons of the noon movies. The bell rings--they show their pass or pay their two cents--find their seats---and proceed to eat the contents of their lunches and to watch the screen on the stage. Some of the more heavy eaters buy candy bars from those super salesmen, Dick Bentley and Ralph Bissonette, fourth hourg and Harry Jacob, fifth hour. There are different types of noon movie fans: for instance, Don Busdieck- er, who either walks out when the movie starts or persists in telling everyone who sits about him what is going to happen nextg then there is Jack Don- nells, who sits in the last row all alone C the girls won't hurt you, Jack.Jg and Bill Gernheuser, Tommy Boggs, and Dick Malko, who are continually trying to discover a new method to evade the issue of paying two cents. There are beautiful girls in the audi- torium. For example, Modonna Ort and Norma Jean Parker. Gerald Lenning, freshman ever da brin s forth food , , v y s, purchased in a hurry on his way to grab I a good seat. Of course there is the usual argument , in the balcony over who has to run the machine. Sam Jenson and Gene Bate- sole would much rather sit down stairs, and Sam Schwartz is about the only one that wants to run it. Patrons are greeted with a cheery smile by the everfaithful Student Coun- cil members who collect money. Inci- dentally, some of the fairer sex have missed Jpe I-Iascal who has been absent AVIATION SOCIETY HISTORY TRACED First In New Series Probing Beginning And Aims Of All Clubs The Tattler is beginning a series of stories giving the histories of the various school clubs They will be taken in alphabetical order. This week's his- tory is of the Aviation Society. The Aviation Society was organized in 1928, the year of the opening of the new Woodward High School. It was started by a group of students who were taking an afternoon course in air- plane construction, motor maintenance, and model building. It has been unin- terrupted since its organization. It is the hope of the present members that such a course will be offered as an extra curriculum. As it is, the only ex- perience in aviation that the boys re- ceive is the inspection of airplane motors installed in the shop. The purpose of the club is to help boys interested in aviation to learn more about it. It also encourages the members to build models, which aid in learning principles of iiight. At the meetings the boys discuss new advances and inventions in aviation. The ofhcers are: Art Gracek, president? Tom Nuber, vice-presidentg Bill Kruger, secretaryg Leo Nalodka, treasurer, and Lawrence Nuber, adviser. The Federal Government is planning to install in the auto shop a new hy- draulio lift to further defense work The cost will be about five hundred dollars. The Tattler on behalf of the student body and faculty wish to extend their deepest sympathy to the families of Violet Grumek, junior, and George Hope, gradu- a t e o f '39, o n their passing. George was sports editor of the Tattler in '38, and '39. Red Cross The volunteers in the American Red Cross Chapters have been shipping gar- ments and surgical dressings to aid the war-stricken in Europe. A vast majority of the shipments go to the war victims of Great Britain. Ship- ments have also been sent to Finland, France, to Germans in occupiedPoland, Hungary, Lithuania, and Yugoslavia. , Student Opinion In answer to the question Which do you prefer, men or women teachers? the following replies were given: - Senior girl: Men. Their classes are more informal and you learn a lot from discussion. D Senior boy: I like women teachers. They understand the pupil and the problems more than men do. Sophomore girl: Women is my choice because I can confide in them. Sophomore boy: Women.Not as strict and easier. I think they're smarter, too. Freshman girl: Men. I learn more from them and they're not as hard. Freshman boy: Men. Ican get along better with them. They leave me alone. l- Ohio Wesleyan William F. Lacy, personnel adviser of Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, Ohio, will visit Woodward on January 23, at 1:45 p.m. to interview any students who might be interested in the college. Ralph A.

LaRue. She will act as clearing agent of auditions for all interested pupils. All pupils de- siring to enter this field should report to Miss Grifiin, who will arrange for an audition and investigate pupil's scho- lastic standing. An average record is needed, due to the time taken out of school Miss Griiiin has been interested in this Held for four years, studying speech for a year at Ann Arbor. She is employ- ed as mail secretary at W.S.P.D. after school hours. I feel that there is a definite field for talented students more so than ever be- fore, because of the draft, replied the new chairman, when questioned about the opportunities for students. Radio is still in its infancy, and offers both entertainment a n d educational f e a- tures. Speech Hi-Lites Sergeant Margaret Slater, of the Toledo police, spoke before the junior and senior girls assembly period Tues- day. Christine Allen introduced her. Following are the highlights from her talk. I have been in the service of the Toledo police for nineteen years. To become a policewoman, a girl must have a high school education and two kinds of some type of public contact. Because the crook is educated, the police must be educated too, so we may be able to punish the wrong-doere. It'e really catching the crook at his own game. There are 265 places in Toledo where intoxicating drinks are sold. No person may be served beer, liquor, or wine if not 21 years of age. Remember, girls, don't go to such places if you want to have a clean record. Stay away from them. Before answering an ad, check with the Better Business Commission or the Toledo Police Department. I whipped 40 policemen in a shooting contest in which five states participated. Personal To Faculty Teachers! Do you have an interest- ing, odd, or peculiar hobby you would like to write about?

This is a hard question to answer. Surely, it's not because of stiff competition from Woodward. From the viewpoint of personal gain, the con- tests this year oifer much more than those of last year. Cash, scholarships, and trips are among val- uable awards. If the idea of getting something out of it does not appeal to you, how adout the per- sonal pride connected with winning such a con- test? In most city, state, and national contests, the winners are announced in school papers and mag- azines, thus bringing honor and distincion to your school. Don't shrug your shoulders and say, The com- petition from other schools is to stiff, or What's the use, I wouldn't win anyway. Remember this, you have just as many opportunities, just as much intelligeu ce, and just as many reasons for winning, as any other student in the country. Juniors! Choose Wisely UNIORS, this is the time of the year when you, as other juniors before you, have been faced with the problem of choosing your class rings. The rings are ones that you will have for the rest of your life to bring back cherished memories of school days. Careful, discriminaet choosing is im- perative, On the second Hoot in the display case you will find a group of rings selected by your ring com- mitteemen and placed there for you to choose from. Look them over, decide which one you like the best, and when the time comes for you to vote for your choice vote for the one you like and not what your friend likes. Hall Of Fame I HIS WEEK'S nomination does not go to a person or group of persons. Instead, we feel that the one best suited to our weekly Hall of Fame is a virtue, a virtue that has grown in Woodward and become instilled in every student, a virtue that has spread so rapidly that to violate it seems unthink- able. In short, we mean the virtue of honesty---hon- esty that inspiers every Woodwardite with a sense of security, pride, and self respect--honesty that drives us to return lost articles---honesty that has upheld Woodward's reputation through the honest reputation of its students. And to the Hall of Oblivion we nominate any act, word, or person that would deprive us to our -L nv-G sl-1 nfl niv4-nn vu- svvwvn-, ..-----.,..,..,..,--.. .... -1-..---of- -7- .

The Brute The young husband stood over his beloved wife, but he showed no signs of mercy as she sat there shedding pitiful tears. Disregarding all her sorrow- ful pleading, he towered above her, motionless. Then his wife's tears began to flow faster but still his face carried no signs of emotions and several times he burst into a fit of laughter. Surely, this handsome young man had some pity! Finally he seized a knife and as he daringly stepped forward something in the air made him suddenly burst in- to tears. In spite of this, he weakly muttered, O. K. honey, Pll peel the onion.

Where's Violet? . American and National league bowl- ers both won two from Libbey, to land the high-riding Amerks in a three-way tie for league supremeacy with De- Vilbiss and Macomper. The Nats are still wavering between third and fourth positions. Pacing the Amerks in high singles were Zielaskowski and Zientek with 211 and 200, respectively. Zientek grabbed the highest total with 525. American pinsters beat the Cowboys by 225 pins. Lee, of the Libbey quintet, banged out the highest game in the league with a 532. The Nats, although farther down the line, are steadily improving. Kerwai and Gribbin are leading the other Ben. pinsters in high single and totle gamesr Being an erratic squad, the Nationals are still using a scattered line-up with no definite starters. Tomorrow will see the Amerks battle with the DeVilbiss Tigers, the winner of which will probably gain undisputed possission of first place in the Ameri- ' can division. National league bowlers will find themselves confronting a good Central outfit. The victor in this contest will probaby move up the line into sec- ond or third position.

The Bears played a scorching game and led through the ,first half while the second stanza was a see-saw affair with Libbey on the long part of the score at the end of the game. Konz and Sahadi shot the Bears total lead in the first quarter and their loop thrusts kept the home team there. At the end of the first quarter the North- Enders were holding down the lead by a 9-6 margin. At half-time, the Bears still had the three point margin, the score being 19- 16. Buckets still were being piled up by Konz and Sahadi. The last half was a tit-for-tat affair with Konz, Sahadi, and Bialecki yanked from the game on a four foul count. Ramsdell and Smokel of Libbey were the top scorers for the foes with 13 and 10 points, respectively. Woodward G. F.

Dexter, White, and Walker shared an 11-point three-way tie to outscore the Bears at the final gun. McDonnall's foul shot and basket put the Waite team in the lead all during the game. Dexter bothered the Bears while every man on the home team bothered the Waite team. The Indians led at the quarter 15 to 8g at the half they were still on the upper stip 35 to 14.

Libbey's top man, Henning, was the decisive tosser. The Bears scoring men were Brent, Arbing- er, Wisniewski, Sloan, and McKinley. Arbinger was top-scoring man. He gained five points. Brent, Wisniewski, and Sloan attained three points each. McKinley grabbed one. The boys' game was not up to stan- dard last Friday night, because of bad passing which was the cause of the loss. As usual the cager's guarding was good. The boy's had a streak of bad shooting. Only thirteen per cent of all the shots made were scored. In pre- vious games, the Bears have scored on at least thirty per cent ofthe shots attempted.

These games are under the sponsorship of the City Welfare Department and the City Recreation Basketball Feder- ation. Last Tuesday night the Freshman League played Friendly Center. The schedule for the frosh in the City Federation is as follows: On Tuesday, January 21, they meet the North 'loledo Community Hous e. The frosh are teamed with St. Michael's on January 28. On Tuesday, February 4, the tilt is with Point Place and on February 18 they g r a p p le with the Willys Park squad. Tuesday, Feb.25, sees the frosh in a scrap with Spring Street Center. On March 4 the frosh cagers grapple with Wilson Park's Fighting Dukes and they have an open date on which they will meet the Panthers. Woodward's Freshman League be- longs to the C League of the City Recreation Basketball Federation. The Toledo Amateur Basketball Federation sponsors many basketball games which are played in city high schools. On Monday nights, six games are played in Woodward's gym. Reporter Observes Actions Of Woodwardites At Game Thus far your humble reporter has been a loyal witness at every game and can well testify to the super yells of the Blue and White basketball fans. The following is an account of what happened at the Woodward-Libbey game and is a description of a typical evening spent watching the varsity squad. First, after I took a quick glance at the beautious gals and guys, I raced for a vacant place in that direction and succeeded to plant myself next to Mrs. Eula Upp and Florence Matuszewski, where I became engulfed in the spec- tators. As I sat there rivited to my seat, I wondered if it oould be affection that brings the crowd sitting so close together. Have you ever thought that you'd just love being in the huddle the basketball squad makesjust before the game? Imagine exchanging tid-bits with Dick Koster or Mitch Sahadi. Irene Hint's main attraction was Al Kemski, and by the way, since the most asked question of the juniors is Who are you taking to the J-Hop? it would be well to mention that these two will be seen at this momentous junior event. When not watching the varsity squad I managed to catch a glimpse of Flor- ence Widlund, Hattie Santus, Harry Schlievert, and Carl Rockicki. After the battle was over, some stu- dents attended the dance at Libbey, others raided Kewpee joints, and those whose jubilant spirits were not quenched by our defeat fonly three pointsj rode home in buses and sere- naded passing cars. This reporter joined her gang and crashed the Rivoli where we enjoyed the film Four Mothers. Realizing it was time for all good things to end, we rode home to have it out with mom and dad about keeping late hours. Luckily they were asleep and none the wiser. May Van Klinger Leads Girls In Bowling Scores The girls taking bowling for their physical ed credit, this semester bowled individually instead of in teams last Friday. May Van Klinger is still taking top honors with a score of 116. She is followed by Betty Picett, 109, Betty Davis, 1073 Jane Bieniek, 105, and Gloria Weaver, 1039 Those breaking ninety were Grace Bu r r 0 u g h s, 973 Lucille Weeks, 95, and Emily Loynes, 935 Doris Coleman, 93, and Jean Gertz, 90. The present bowling tournament will end at the close of this semester and a new one is scheduled for the next term.. Jake Przybysz And Mauch To Have Scoring Duel In Irish Gym Woodward's jinx-ridden Polar Bears meet a strong Central squad Friday at the latters home floor, and they will try to break the black closed hovering over them. The Bears have won one game and lost two. The win being over Vocation- al while the losses came at the hands of DeVilbiss aid Libbey. Central's fast break should prove a tough one for the Bears to crack while on the other hand Woodward's slam- bang game should be an obstacle for Central to hurdle. Central's starting line-up is still a mystery and will not be announced till later in the week. The Bear's starting five will probably find Przybysz and Koster at forewards, Sahadi and Bie- lichi at guards and Konz at Center. Last year Woodward topped Central, however, it should not be so easy, as most of their first string came back, while Coach Hanham lost most of his material and had to build almost a whole new team. Central's little man with the big point total, Mauch, was great guns in all of the Irish's games and the Cherry street- ers are pinning their hopes on this speedy lad. Przybysz of Woodward however is no slouch himself and has been dropping them from all over the court this season. If nothing else, a scoring duet between the two should be a sight to see. Basketball Tournament Has Three Intra-Mural Leagues The girls who are expecting to play in the girls' intra-mural basketball tour- nament have recently organized into teams. The tournament line-up will con- sist of three leagues: the freshmen, sophomore and junior-senior. The teams in the freshman league are the Woodward Majestics, Torpe- does, Pirates ,Greenhorns, Woodward- ettes, and the Red Hot Speedsters. The sophomore section is comprised of the Duifeys, Renaissance, Black Angles, and the Wild Cats. The Varsity Cubs, Rockets, Blue and White Stars, Sub Debs, All Stars, and Blue Cadets make up the junior-senior division. Frosh Victors Over Libbey South-End Cage Squad, 8-4 Paced by Jim Knierem, with 4 points, the Woodward freshman bucket squad defeated the Libbey frosh, 8 to 4. The local freshmen played an excel' lent defensive game over a much taller team from the south-end. John Payak and Glen Weiner, with 2 points each, rounded out the Woodward score. Two games with the Temperence fMichiganJ varsity have been scheduled for the Freshman squad. The Hrst to be played February 4, and the next on Feb- ruary 18.

Why, American Passport of course! A down-to-earth and up-to-the- minute three-act comedy to be produced and acted by Woodward teachers and students! This is the iirst time, that we know of, in the history of Toledo schools that both faculty and students have worked together in a serious dramatic pro duction, an experiment that we hope will insure future productions under the same policy---but that depends en- tirely on you and you and you. If the students and faculty members not helping with the actual staging of the production will realize that the success of the affair rests largely in your hands and if all of you will give us your strongest support, we know you will not be disappointed-it's our duty to see that you are not. The dates of the two performances are March 6 and 7--students will want to come March 6 on account of the bas- ketball game the next night, so set that date aside for one of the BIGGEST af- fairs we've ever had at Woodward. Names of members of the production staff and of the cast will be announced in next week's Tattler with an inter- esting synopsis of the play. Freshman Basketball Team Posts Schedule For Season The freshmen team's schedule is as follows: Jan. 14, Waite Jan. 17, Central Jan. 31, Macomber Feb. 4, Temperance Feb. 7, DeVilbiss Feb. 11, At Libbey Feb. 14, At Waite Feb. 18, Temperance Feb. 21, At Central The freshmen won a close game from Libbey with Jim Knierim high point man with 4 out of the eight points made. His fast breaks where the high- light of the game. From the looks of this lad, Woodward has some varsity timber in the frosh ranks. Frosh Gym Classes The freshman gym classes have started basketball to insure them knowledge of the game in their sopho- more, junior, and senior years. Homer Hanham and Art Smith, gym instructors, have started the frosh pas- sing, shooting, dribbling, and guarding. To practice guarding, a game called guard pin will be played by the boys. f fl -nvf 'I' Coach Harold Anderson's undefeated Rocket brigade chalked up their tenth consecutive victory for the second time under his generalship, as they knocked off the Cincinnati quintet, .Tuesday night, 56-38.

I O I Coach Paul Brown, the Massillon miracle man who lost only eight games in his nine years of coaching at the Massillon High School, has been named to head the Ohio State Athletic -Board. The appointment was a mere formality, however, and has been ex- pected for quite sometime. Coach Brown's loss at Massillon will be deep- ly felt, and they will have a hard time replacing him. Dear Editor: I came from a long line of warm- blooded pioneers, and I also have a bit of Eskimo blood, but I've knocked a few teeth loose chattering in the halls during lunch hours Knot gossiping, act- ually chatteringj. My forefathers braved the cold for a reason- to settle this wonderful country of ours. I have no knowledge of any country near, or in, Woodward that needs someone to settle it, therefore, I see no reason why we students and teachers must bring ice picks to chop open our lunches. If this deficiency is a result of a lack of funds, I will continue to suffer in si- lence lexcept for the chatteringj. If this is an oversight on someone's part, I think We ought to make it hot for them. Brrr I 1 u i Dear Editorg In the past years Woodward has had ine basketball squads and regard- less of material or any other obstacle they will continue to rate in the cage sport as long as they have a coach such as Homer Hanham. Along with the great record Wood- ward athletes have produced on the court, the students and faculty have established a student body that doesen't have to take the back footn to any school. Woodwards followers haven't been perfect at all times, but in most cases they have shown sportsmanlike conduct and respect for ofhcials and opponents. It is a very notable fact that when a person ora group of people become satisfied with themselves, they are no longer eHective, therefore the Woodward student body should be constantly endeavoring to improve. Here are some benincial suggestions odered by coaches and officials in re- gard to the conduct of basketball crowds. Acceptance of an ofiicial's de- cision without booing or shouting re- marks will undoubtly distinguish a stu- dent body more than anything else. Showing courtesy to W ar d opposing teams when they are attempting free throws will increase the character of a student body. It is interesting to note that cheering for a certain player to be put in the game is very embarassing to the coach and for that reason the indivivual will probably be with held from the contest. I U U Dear Editor: In last weeks' paper appeared an ar- ticlc stating that the Student Council could no longer play it's records. If this is true, no one has notified us about it. At Libbey last Friday night they were still dancing to The Five O'Clock Whis- tle. We aren't broadcasting over the radio. The fee has been placed only for commercial use. Student Council is planning to buy new records, and until further notice, you students may be able to dance to ASCAP tunes. A member of the Student Council. Gridders Beat Triangles On January 6, the Gridders whipped the Triangles 2-0, in the intra-mural league while the Machine Shop set the Mechanics back 28-8. On January 13, the Machine came through again with a 22-16, win over the Gridders. The Mechanics, although losing a game the previous day, downed the Triangles, 22-13. Waite Defeats Frosh The Woodward freshman squad offered little resistance to amuch larger squad from Waite, being defeated 23 to 10 Tuesday night on the Indians floor. Bob Long, led the boys on the short end with 6 points while Jim Knierem and John Pavak made 2 each. Dednitely outplayed by the tall, fast, and effective Waite squad the Polar Bear,s frosh trailed 17 to 2 at the half time. The freshman team will encounter the Greenhorn squad from Central tonight.

Constantly, Consistently Constructive Vol. XIII Toledo, Ohio, January 31, 1941 No. 17 l l GLASS COLLECTED FOR THE FUN OF IT By Mrs. Mary Schuler I have never been one to ride my hobby very strenuously, but I do get a great deal of pleasure from it. I say it, when as a matter of fact, I have several hobbies as most people do. How- ever, the one which is the most fun is collecting old glass--cranberry glass in particular. The word cranberry prob- ably suggests roast turkey to some, but to glass collectors it suggests a lovely, early American rose colored glass. The first piece of cranberry that I ever had came out of the dark, damp depths of a cellar in an old house. It was an old vinegar cruet--fat at the base, slender and graceful at the top. I fell in love with it to such an extent that I planned the color scheme of my kitchen around it . The next three pieces I found were water glasses. They have the thumb print design and are decorated with enamel liowers. I must tell you about the place where I found them. I was driving along a road in the foot hills of the Ozark Mountains one day. Always keeping an eagle eye on the side of the road for antique signs, I Hnally saw one and pulled the old Chevy up short. The house was a tumbled down shack. I walked through tall grass to a dilapidated porch. A penetrating odor of fried potatoes assailed my nostrils. A tall, lanky man answered my knock at the door. He had pale blue eyes, carrotty hair and a Bob Burn's drawl. I looked around and, to my delight, saw three beautiful cranberry tumblers gleaming amidst a table full of odds and inds. I'm afraid Bob caught the gleam en my eye, too, for he said how rare cranberry glass was and how the col- lectors were picking up all they could find. After a bit of bargaining back and forth, I walked out with the cranberry glasses. On my return to Toledo, I decided to look around in the shops along Monroe Street. One Sunday I was walking along the street looking into the windows of the antique shops, when my eyes caught sight of a beautiful bowl. It was a cran- berry overlay bowl. I could hardly wait until Monday when I could go into the store and ask about the price. I hurried down the next day. The bowl was even loveier then I had imagined. It was in perfect conditiong and, when I flicked it with my finger, it rang like a bell. Fine old glass has that bell-like quality. I asked the price and decided I must have it. The two old taverns at Irish Hills have a great variety of antiques. The only difficulty in going into a place where there is so much, one is never sure of what one is going to buy. Take the man and his wife, for instance, who went into one place just to look around, and went home with a heavy ax, an iron teakettle and an early American gun six feet long! It was a lady's gun, too. A book I would recommend for a good g e n e r al background i s American Glass by Mary Harrod Northend. It is illustrated with photographs, many of which are photographs of glass exhibits in our Toledo Art Museum. Cyclotron Tonight All skaters, attention!

The boys were: Tony Danielewicz, Bob Ramer, Jimmie Nelson, and Ed die Gasiorowski. I S 8 A Liberty airplane engine was dis- mantled for the last time in L. Nuber's auto-mechanics classes. It was disman- tled and some parts were sent to Libbey and some were sent to be smelted. The engine was flown for forty hours in the World War. It was rebuilt in the United States, shipped to France. and returned on Armistice Day to the Unit- ed States With a boatload of others. The original cost of the engine was 510,000 and it had a developed power of 960 horses 1960 h. p,J.

I Former Grad Is Externe Sam Schall, graduate of 1935, in a letter to Principal LaRue, stated that he is now entering the second semester of his third year at Western Reserve as a medical student. He is working as an externe at Booth Hospital in Cleveland while going to school. . Before entering Western Reserve, Mr. Schall attended the University of Toledo for three years. During his senior year at Woodward, he was president of the National Honor Society and of the Peiuper Club. Never go out to meet trouble.

Chemistry Formulas BafI'le Quack Scientists In Room 227 Na QHODZ , that's sodium hydroxide ---or is it alka seltzer bicarbonate? queried that great number of chemistry students who are so earnestly endesvor- ing to memorize, at least attempting, that long list of symbols.

Belated work on that simple gas law problem is being hurriedly completed by Patricia Kuenle and Lucille Gifford who found, much to their horrified amazement, that the hydrogen seemed to be contracting until only 5.5 cc. remained in the tube.

Start With A Clean Slate HE OLD SEMESTER is gone. Exams, too, have come to an end. How do you feel about your grades? If you are completely satished with them, you either have a perfect card or are terribly conceited. If you feel that you have been cheated, who are you going to blame--the teacher? When all the facts are boiled down to their be- ginnings who do we End has been skipping classes, missing homework, and not paying attention? In short, who is really responsible for a low grade? The answer is quite obvious--YOU. Why have you gotten this low grade? Are you going to lower your- self by saying that a subject is too hard for you? Are you going to personally insult yourself by thinking that you can't do what thousands of other students have done? Briefly, are you going to sub- ject yourself to the degrading experience of quit- ting--giving up? There is no high school subject or course so diiii- cult that the average student cannot pass if he works and studies. In the new semester let's put pride ahead of pleasure and not let even the hard- est subjects get the best of us. Now's The Time To Act HAT'S THE MATTER, boys? Can't you take a hint? Here we have one of the most im- portant social functions of the year, the J- Hop, only a few weeks away and there are still swarms of pretty Woodward girls that haven't been asailed with the question, Wanna go to the J-Hop? Surely you males can't fail to recognize the im- portance of this event. This is the first of two for- mal dances held during the year and surely you don't want to miss the precious opportunity of im- pressing that certain girl. Or perhaps you're a member of that group that when delicately approaching the subject of dancing you hastily swallow a lump and say Nice weather we're having, isn't it? ' What you boys need is a few pointers. Remem- ber that the girl can't very well ask the boy to take her and the chances are ten to one that she will accept. So come on boys, next time you see her in the hall just rush up to her and say. Would you, could you go to the J-Hop with me, I hope? . Hall Of Fame E NOMINATE to the hall of fame those stu- dents whose untiring work and persever- ance earned them all A's and B's on their cards, especially the seniors. Why the seniors? Many pupils, in their last year, tend to slide, to take it easy, to neglect homework, to be slackers. Thus to the seniors should go extra laurels, for those who worked and earned good grades, truly deserves them. And to the hall of oblivion we send the perennial flunker. He cuts classes, neglects homework, he arrives late to his classes, and generally doesn't Q' 1- .... sr -c . . , ..M,,,i,, Says Man is a sap to wed girl be- cause she can bake. The above is the ,he ., ,R heading of an article in the Toledo Blade on Tuesday January 14. 1 ri , l The explanation that followed was X, ' .ii logical enough. A bakery made cake is X . ' more economical, more likely to be uni- ? form in texture and, according to the President of the Ohio Bakers' Associa- tion, better in taste than one manufactured by the housewife in her own kitchen. It is not the purpose of this article to bewail the passing of the old time kitchen with all its delectable warmth and odors. We could dwell at great length upon the culinary delights of the good old days before the innovation of bakeries, delicatessens and the canned goods stores. Our train of thought takes us into another channel. As the girl steps out of the baking pic- ture, the boy steps in. Bakeries, chain or local, are, for the most part, owned and operated by men. Thus, another of the home industries passes into the cold mechanized factory system. Instead of be- ing a romantic part of the home life, it has passed into one of the twenty-seven thousand ways of earning a living. The way to a man's heart may still be through his stomach but our modern girl can no longer claim the credit for thus touching his heart. The ancient jokes about the bride's bis- cuits are no longer applicable. With the facilities of the grocer and the baker at her instant beck and call and fortified with a handy can opener, the modern bride can out do even the best efforts of her husband's mother. No higher praise than this can be bestowed upon any woman. In pursuing the main idea further, two things stand out, increased vocational Opportunites for men, and increased leisure for women. Perhaps the greatest possibility for good from all this is the latter. This leisure time may be used for better care of the home in general and better care of children. If this follows, all of us will be content. C'?6?,.e?' . OOHHH!!! I attended the dance following the game at Lib' bey and oh, well, let me tell you just how it hap' pened. There Iwas, waiting coyly for someone to ask me to dance. Suddenly as if an avalanche had broken loose, a man, with a huge L descended upon me and motioned towards the dance floor, of course, I accepted since he was nice looking and heck, I needed someone to dance with me. The first thing he did was to encircle, with his brawny arm, my tiny waist and oh, he must have been a wrestler because my ribs still bear his teachnique. Now, I can tolerate this, but when it comes to stepping on my corns, that's too much. So I moved away from him to a distance of two feet. The other couples must have thought he or I was contagious, but I didn't care. My feet were protected weren't they? Then too, to top the whole thing off, the orchestra played The Nearness of You. I still shudder to think of all I went through at that dance. ----Give me the Woodward men--- They're at least a trifle more gentle. -- M., Around Woodward Now that we're back in the swing of routine with the J-Hop in sight, there's plenty a doing in our- Alma Mater. ill PF QF Is Dick Koster really a lone wolf or haven't I been very observant?

Just What We Wanted A new system of school transportation for every Woodwardite was devulged by Principal LaRue re- cently. The new buses will be made larger than our C. C. T. buses more pleasant, and with all modern conveniences. These super vehicles will wait until you're ready. For the students who don't have time to eat breakfast, there will be a milk bar in the rear of the coach to accomodate these hungry pupils. Since so many of the students require a short nap before school, hunks will be built into the sides of the bus and those who wish to take a snooze merely have to push a button and a comfort- able bed will slide out. The riders will enter from the top by sliding down a pole similar to those used in fire stations. School books will be ditched down a dark shute upon entering the bus, so that there will be no un- pleasant reminders in sight. The buses will be constructed with convertable tops which will slide back with the push of a button. The main purpose of this type of top is for the sight seeing tour the pupils intend to take to California this summer. Since the Adams Twp. students are allergic to bus drivers, the new busses will be equipped with automatic controls which will dispense with drivers entirely and, of course, this will be a much safer method of transportation. To leave the bus, you merely push the first button on the left and a door will open, your seat will slide out and automatically dump you on the sidewalk. Unwelcome Visitor Deep river, Lord, My home is over --E-e-e-e-e-k! Everyone in the Glee Club stopped and stared toward the ceiling, even Mr. Ball. The black object zoomed lower and the girls in the alto section let out hair-raising screams. Hank Jaschke grabbed a broom, another hero, a poleg and still another, a chair. Then all was quiet- Members began to sing again when suddenly another shriek arose. There was no more singing that day you can well imagine. Suoh was the situation when a bat tried to turn songbird by paying a visit to Woodward's Glee club. Hit Parade The Morning After ---a big date.

The boys who saw action were: Golembiew- ski, Weidinger, Brent, Sheline, Tucker, Wisniewski, Kosakowski, Ransome, Sloan, McKinley and Getz. Golembiewski was top-scoring man- He grabbed twelve points and Weidinger scored two foul shots.Brent gained four points and Wisniewski sunk eight points. Kosakowski grabbed one point and Sloan and McKinley grabbed two and six points respectively. Kirk was Scott's top scoring man. The boys have had great success in their encounters, smashing through to victory in several games. The boys show very promising material for next sea- son's varsity. Girls Swimming Classes Led By Laverne Brigham The girls in the Friday swimming class are completing the series of twenty-six test which were started at the beginning of last semester. Laverne Brigham is leading the aqua-belles with twenty-five tests to her credit. She is followed by Lois Horner, who has passed twenty-two tests, Florence Mormon, eighteen, Marilyn Herrick, twelve, and Audrey Higgins, twelve. New members will be admitted to this class for the new semester and with the present members will continue to develop their swimming and diving under the direction ofMrs. Lois Draves. . Woodward Cubs Trim Waite In Walk-Away Contest 30-20 Woodward's reserve basketball squad came through with fiying colors in the tussle with Waite on Tuesday, January 14 with a score of 30-20. The boys played a good game. Those who saw action were: Brent, Wisniewski, Sloan, Golem- biewski, Ransome, Kosakowski, and Tucker. The boys' game was a fine improve' ment over their previous game. They scored on twenty-eight per cent of the shots made. Brent and Wisniewski gained seven points each. Sloan sunk five points and Golembiewski grabbed six. Ransome and Kosakowski scored 3 and 2, respectively. Wisniewski's height, Golemhiewski's passing, and better shooting on the part of all the boys grabbed the game for them. - New Tournament Started The new intra-mural b a s ke t b all tournament is under way in the girl's gym. In order to complete the scheduled number of games, some of the teams will play twice weekly. The Tornadoes and the All-Stars taking the Rockets. In the Wednesday section, the Wild Cats and the Wizards won over the Black Angels and the Duffeys, respect- ively. Intra-Mural Point Race Led l By Boyd With 22 Markers In the Intra-Mural basketball league, several of the outstanding players have been setting a fast scoring pace. Henry Boyd colored ace of the Rens squad, leads the list with 22 markers. He is followed closely by Harold Marok, from the Polish Lits, with 20 points. The ten leading scorers of the league follow, respectively: Henry Boyd, Rens, 22. Harold Marok, Polish Lits, 20. Art Truss, Rens, 19. Ed Durka, Polish Lits, 17. Dan Kaczorowski, Mach. Shop, 15. Jack Ramer, Mechanics, 15. Ray Kornasinski, Mach. Shop, 14. Joe Bielski, Polar Bears, 12. Filon Grzecki, Polish Lits, 12. Mel Grzybowski, Mach. Shop, 10. 3 421910, In face of difficult financial problems' the Scott Athletic Board may be forced to drop their coming spring sports schedule. Such a step would result in the discontinuance of baseball, tennis, golf and trackg sports, in which Scott has always played an important part in local and state competition. Scott's famous tracksters, who have dominated the local cinder paths for the last few years, would be forced to drop out of the sport that has brought great pres- tige to the West Side School. The Scott athletic board will undoubtedly adopt this plan only as a last meansg however at present it seems a very likely hap- pening. 1 l S Hanham discipline: Mitch Sahadi, the fighty Bear guard, watched most of the Scott encounter via the bench, and in the capacity of a third stringer. Sa- hadi's sudden benching was the result of breaking training rules and was de- livered by Coach Homer Hanham to show who is boss. 1 U U Undoubtedly, one of the major sur- prises of the current basketball season was the most lopsided 54-33, shellacking the T.U. quintet handed the famed Bradley Tech wonders from Peoria, Illinois. The victory gave the Rockets their greatest boost to national acclaim and oddly enough was one of their easier wins. Woodward Cage Warriors Beaten By Central's Irish Woodward's luckless quintet has again fallen victim to a city opponent, dropping a fast contest to Central, 45- 37, at the Irish gym. The Parochial's fast breaking zone defense appeared too much for the Bear five. Several times the Bears came with- in 2 points of tying up the contest, but couldn't manage to gain the lead. The Irish led 14-10 at the close of the first chapter. At the intermission the Polar Bears still suffered a 26-16 deficit. The remainder of the game both teams scored at leisure, but the Bears couldn't overtake Centrsl's early lead. Norm Przybysz led Woodward in scoring, dropping iive fielders and a free throw for 11 points. Mc Quillen topped Central with the same number of markers Bowling Tournament Ended The first semester bowling tourna- ment has ended with May Van Klinger, still on top with a semester average of 118. Evelyn Shamasfteam, Sabina Sieg- man won first place with an 82. Betty Picott and Betty Davis of Joyce Steven- son's division made 108 and 107 re- spectively. Leaders Grace Burroughs, with 98, and Jean Gertz, with 90, each led their own squad. Doris Morgan's high scorer was Lucille Weeks with a 95. Fast Breaking Centralites Bump Woodward Freshmen Woodward's freshmen lost a heart- breaker to a faster Central squad last Friday, 24-22. Coach Fetters sent hissecond string in with a ive-point lead under their belts, but they let it slip with three minutes to play. The reserve five re- placed Kubial, Payak, Long, Knuerem, and Klein. According to Coach Fetters an effort will be made to work on the Frosh re- serve material in order to strengthen the team. I' IIWFLLJ .LAFLIH KAMERKS RIDE HIGH IN FIRST PLACE WHILE NATIONALS FIGHT FOR THIRD -B4 Last Saturday's trio of bowling BEARS TO BATTLE WITH MACOMBER Woodward's battleing Polar Bears journey to Macomber to fight it out with the Craftsmen tonight at 8:30. So far, Vocational has lost all of her city encounters, chalked up against the Bear's two wins. Jake Pryzbysz will be a headache for the Craftsmen as he was high point man against Scott a week ago. Koster, Kornowa, and Sahadi will be cutting the defenses of the Mechanics to reach pay dirt. Macomber is never a cinch for any team to play. Voc provides many thrills and is constantly nagging the other teams offensives and defenses. The Bears are at a disadvantage in that they have to play on a foreign door This game will start the second round of the 1940-41 basktball team. Konz, Pryzbysz, Sahadi, Koster, and Myneder will be the probable lineup. New Requirements Offered Students Applying For NYA Several requirements fo r out-of- school N Y A help have been changed.

The questions asked in this contest dealt with the titles and au- thors of books. The sound system was connected so that the Peris could use two rooms: in one, the participants, in the other, the questioner.

Reserves Beat Central 29-21 In Last Minute Rally Woodward's plucky reserves, in a last- half rally, emerged the victor in the tussle with Central,on Friday, January 17, to the tune of 29-21. The first half of the game saw had playing on the part of all the boys. Central paced the Wood- ward Eve, 14-8. After a little encourage- ment, the boys went in and played a beautiful second half. Those who saw action were: Kosakowski, Brent, Ran- some, Sloan, Golembiewski Wisniewski, Sheline, McKinley, Getz, and Holawin- ski. With the bad losing streak that the varsity has encountered, Woodward's reserve five proves to be a consola- tion. In the first half, the boys' play- ing was very discouraging. A few words of encouragement from the coach, and the boys, with Wisniewski and Golembiewski's passing, Kosakow- ski's and Sloan's guarding, and beautiful playing by all, dribbled their wa to a I l'A'1 DlPf' I Good news of 1941---only 39,840 more minutes of school.

If one can say that an all-star cast has a lead we must give the honors to Paul Lankenau as Ed Hamilton, a typi- cal American father who wakes up to the fact that his wife and children need some lessons in Americanism. Gloria Montrie, that wee sophomore miss, is Louella, the spoiled baby of the family, the older daughter, strongly influenced by radical reading, is Mari- lyn Schoonmakerg Dick, their brother, so intent upon his evangelism that he is unnaturally serious for his twenty- one years, is well portrayed by Ken- neth Zimmerman, Sybil, in love with Dick, but questioning the valididty of his principles, is Irene Kolinski. Bertha Hamilton, the well-meaning but a-little-lacking-in reasoning mother, is played to perfection by Miss Helen Marie Grifling Bill Wilson, debonair young-man-with-a-future and in love with Judy is Ralph Bissonnette, Aunt Jen, a character you'll love probably recognize as your favorite aunt, is Miss Gertrude Kanney, Mrs. Schwartz, an irate neighbor, Mrs. Van Vranken and Mr. Craig, Ed Hamilton's employer, Watson Welever. Admission will be twenty five cents, and there will be special tickets for each night. This is the first time that Woodward faculty and students have appeared together in a three-act drama.

Tattler Toughies Throttle Swift Saga Sisters, 10-4 The rivalry between the Saga-Tattler members entered the sports column when the Tattler basketeers registered a 10-4 triumph over the Saga school- girls in the gym on Tuesday afternoon. Playing for the winning cagers were Betty Gajewski, Jane Searle, and Janet Wozny, holding down the forward po- sitions and Dorothy Dyer, Laura Kohne, and Mary Latus playing guards. Esther Bloom, Florence Bochenek, Sadie Doug- las, Emma Kocsis and Laura Meyer playing various positione thoroughout the game. Both teams waged an even battle and were tied 2-2, when the first quarter ended. The seconed session found the opponents sharing defensive honors and the last minute of play ended in a 4-4 deadlock. Early in the second half the Tattler' ites began flinging wild shots in the di' rection of the basket and wound up the third period with an 8-4 advantage. In the final quarter the two rivals staged a terrific battle but the Tattler girls held their leafl and finished the game with a 10-4 lead. Searles and Gajewski scored two field goals and Wozny one, for the winning team. Bloom and Kocsis bagged the shots for the Saga gals. Offlcials included Florence Matuszew- ski, refereeg Jean Marzec and Irene Hintz, umpires, and Corrine Kalinowski score-keeper. Suggested epitaph for Adolf Hitler's tombstone.

HISTORY OF ALCHEMIST SOCIETY DATES BACK TWENTY YEARS AGO This week the Tattler in accordance with its program of giving the history of all clubs at Woodward has chosen the Alchemist Society. The Alchemist Society was started in the old Woodward High some twenty years ago by the late E. L. Clark, for- mer general science teacher. As was the custom then, the requirements are the same now. A pupil who is either a student of Chemistry or Physics and having an average of not less than a C may join the club. The aim of the club is to build, by creating, an active interest in science. 'lzn we have nhtninerl the word, Alchemy. It refers to black earth as opposed to barren soil. This 'means that the study of Alchemy is productive like black earth. The club meets every two weeks.The gatherings are planned to have one business meeting and one educational meeting each month. Experiments and reports are given at the educational meeting. The present officers are Earl King, president, Albert Biggs, vice-presidentg Marjorie May, secretaryg and Melvin Biegala, treasurer Charles Staneart, chemistry instruc- tor. is adviser of the club.

Constantly, Consistently Constructive PETITION - PETITION Vol. XIII Toledo, Ohio, February 7, 1941 No. 18 TRAVEL TO ORLEANS TOLD BY G. ROHRER Things concerning France consume much of my interest even outside of school hours and school months. It is not simply the impressive monuments and celebrated wonders which fasci- nate, but the trifles in the everyday life of Jacques Bonhomme. Perhaps a grain of interest will be found in the following episode which reflects one tiny aspect of French school life and the attitude of the French teacher and pupil toward their school work- On the way from Paris to Tours I decided to stop at Orleans and meet a boy who was corresponding with a Woodward student. This famous city, rescued from the English in the 15th century under Jeanne d' Arc offers re- minders of France's heroine. Wishing to stay but a short time I investigated the Orleans Cathedral. I soon found the boy's home but was sent by his mother to his school Qlyceel which was in session until the end of July. It was then 3:40. You may see the boy after the close of school-at four. But, Madame, I am to take the train at 4:1O. Yet that precious class could not be defiled by an interruption. O, inflexi- ble system! What matters it that I wish to speak to a pupil after coming from across the world and that possibly only a few minutes of my life would be spent in your town after the dismissal of your classes. Your dismissal hour is four o'clock. That seems really to mean four o'clock. Even in this moment of iritation I could not help reflecting upon various aspects of such a system.OFrench boy, perhaps you would welcome a few of the countless meetings and activities which interrupt the studies of your American fellow sufferer, nor would you be too cruelly annoyed by the presence of girls in your classes. But here's to you, O French teachers who firmly refuse to wear out your energies and dispositions retrieving a frame of mind and an atmosphere dis- pelled time and agian by the savage competition of phone calls, an- nouncements, the abrupt exodus of half you class, solicitation for funds, filling of questionnaires, and interviews on all subjects. I went to the railroad station and had my baggage set in readiness on the counter of the check room. Then I re- turned to the school to Fidget until bell time. The office secretary, magifi- cently inefficient, returned in a few minutes to confess ruefully that she had failed to locate the boy. I raced to the station. Ignoring the warning whistle, I jerked open a door of the moving train and dumped my grips over protesting shins intoa crow- ded third class compartme nt. As I lunged aboard, the exasperated conduc- tor vengefully banged the door on my foot. And I am grateful. You have offered me an excellent treatment for the in- fection-Hhurryupsis Americana. Next time I shall stay longer. Unique Cosmetic Program Given By Friendship Club In order to promote better programs at the Sophomore Friendship Club sessions, Joan Gigliotti, president, was in charge of the entertainment at this meeting Tuesday afternoon. Cosmetics were discussed from a consumer's angle to determine which ones were safe to use. The chemical properties and labels were studied to Impress the importance of correct and safe make-up- The consumer's research and the recommendation of the American Medical Association were advilsed as the two things to watch for nn it n TATTLER TO HONOR STUDENTS JUNE 2 Achievement Cup, Michigan Plaque Committees Announced As has been the custom, the Tattler again will award the Tattler Achive- ment cup to the senior boy or girl who has shown distinguished service both socially and scholastically.

Adams died unexpectedly Tuesday evening while attending a meeting in the home of Miss Elizabeth Baer, 2933 Goddard Rd. Born in Toledo, Miss Adams lived here most of her life. She taught in Spokane, Washington, and the Hawai- ian Islands. Prior to teaching home eco- nomics at Woodward, she taught at Scott high school. She was organist for several years at the First Unitarian Church and at the First Church of Christ, Scientist. Miss Adams lived with Miss Mable Hyde, an employee of Toledo Hospital Miss Adams taught at Woodward for almost nine years and her memory will not easily be erased from the hearts of those who knew her well.

STUDENT HEADS OF BAND, GLEE CLUB AND ORCHESTRA ARE INTERVIEWED ,,i,.L..i11- Henry Jaschke A rather short, brown-eyed individual with a subtle humor, and a winning smile---this best describes H e n r y Jaschke, president of the Woodward Glee club. Hank, as he is known by all his friends, sings tenor in the Glee club, of which he has been a member for 3 years. He is most fond of classical music and aspires to become a printer. Track is his hobby and he is a member of Woodward's track team. About the concert, he predicts, Best one ever. At the present time his heart strings are in the hands of a certain Lila, a DeVilbiss student. Dorothy Merrill Revealing a sparkling engagement ring to all open-mouthed onlookers, Dorothy Merrill, lively senior orchestra president, grew thoughtful for a mo- ment as she considered ticket sales, and then remarked, I hope that the concert will be a success. She is well qualified four her role of president, having studied piano since her eleventh year and trumpet for two years. Dot played the trumpet in a Chi- cago concert of bands, glee clubs, and orchestras one year ago. She and the trumpet harmonize in the Woodward I orchestra and also in the Adams Town- ship band. This eighteen-year old, class- ical music lover, whose birth gives her reason to celebrate April 23, leads the school in A's, having attracted six by the grace of her magnetic mind. ' In regard to that engagement ring staring so boldly out of the first line, it represents Bill Steinmetz to Miss Merrill whose ambition soon-to-be-real- ized is marriage. May Van Klingeren Sheis the boss. This applies to student leader, peppy May VanKlinyeren who has complete charge of the band at var- sity games and in Mr. Sutphen's ab- sence. May, with eight years of practice behind her, toots a hot trumpet as one of Phil Evans' Highlanders. Glenn Miller is her favorite orchestra, and dancing, her favorite pastime. She is attending the J-Hop with James Chil- ders, '39 grad. Also a star bowlerette this accomplished senior rolls out a 118 average. Typing interests May greatly, for she'd like to become a stenographer. Deep down in her heart, though, she admitted her real ambition was to live in California and own a swimming pool. In commenting about the concert this evening, May, who is also the treasurer ofthe band, said, 'Tm sure all who come will enjoy it. The program is varied and interestin . Band, Orchestra, and Glee club will be presented this evening at 8:15 p. m., in the Woodward auditorium. Approxi- mately 200 students will participate in this alfair. Opening the concert, the orchestra, under the direction of Miss Bessie Werum, will play a number of select- ions. They are: The Black R ose, exerpts from the Sixth Symphony by Tschaikowskig The March of the Tin Soldiers, and exerpts from Die Meis- tersiuger, by Wagner. There will also be a iiute trio and a brass ensemble by members ofthe orchestra. Guy V. Sutphen will direct the Band in their part of the program. Wood- ward's school song will be their opening number, followed by: Aldo, Twin Stars, Lady of Spain, Peer Gynt's Nightmare, La Rosita, March of the Brave, National Emblem and the National Anthem. May Van Klingeren is the Band's student leader. For their participation in the program the Glee club will sing Now the Day Is Over, Into The Dawn With You, I Hear America Singing, Four Aztec Love Songs, Deep River, and By the River. Clarence Ball directs this group of singers with L.C. Clark assist- ing him. Tickets for the concert may be purchased from any member of the Band, Orchestra, or Glee club. Annual Skirt And Sweater Swing To Be Held March 14 Jane Bieniek and Esther Bloom are co-chairmen of the third annual Skirt and Sweater Swing to be held Friday evening, March 14. Johnny Burnette and his orchestra has been selected to play. Janet Wozny, who is in charge of publicity, ,is assisted by Ethel Johnson, Helen Szylak and Betty Sarah. The decoration chairmen are Emily Nowak and Helen Konieczny. Thy are aided by Betty Linker, Ethel Johnson and Helen Kanarowski.

Many Woodward Students Enlist In Government Work Louis Barry, graduate of 1935, after passing the examination as a pharma- cist at the University of Toledo, has been stationed at the Great Lakes Navy station at Illinois and has there been promoted to internship, giving him a chance to study along the line of medicine. Steve Korecki, former Woodward Student, after joining the army four years ago, is now staff Sergeant at Ft. Wynfield Scott, in San Francisco, Calif- ornia, where he is instructor in coastal search lights. He was sent by the government to Harper's Ferry, Virginia, for a years study, and by competitive examination, he attended Sperry School where he ' studied search lights.

Attend Concert Tonight ICKEY ROONEY, jazz composer and Number One picture star las if you didn't know,J has written a trilogy, Melodante, to be given by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under the di- rection of Wilfred Pelletier on the coming Sunday Evening Hour. In their own capacity, the Glee club, or c h e s t r a, and band are doing as much for the lovers of serious music as Mickey is doing. Just as you will probably be sure to listen to the contribu- tion of this paragon of Can I have the car tonight, Dad-ers, so you should be aspiring to inspire greater music appreciation within yourself. To you, a praiser of the classics may seem to be a doddering old white bearded man, feebly lifting an ear trumpet to his shaggy head to get the full benefits of that glorious stream of harmonious sound known as symphonic muic. But, have you ever stopped to consider the reason for the many more concerts now being given for students? This method of instilling beauty into the minds of the young has been greeted by its listeners with im- mediate approval, and at this time another oppor- tunity comes a knockin' to enable you to see and hear youthful musicians in the making. The united efforts of our school, to make the concert tonight the well-won success it should be, are necessary, and every pupils' support is vitally needed. Don't lag behind and wait for your most worshiped swing maestro to give his official sanction on good music, but come out among the many who intend to spend a pleasant evening. Try listening and discerning between the basic elements of music and the simple beating of primitive rhythm for a change! ,il-..-. To Juniors From A Junior E WANT a J-Hop. We want it to be a suc cess. But we're not signing petitions as we should. Whether this is just laziness in con- tacting members of the Prom committee or indeci- sion as to who we are escorting, it must be remem- bered that the dance is only a week away. If the Prom is a failure it is doubtful whether we will have anymore. But supported strongly by the students it will continue to be a tradition of the junior class. Sign a petition and buy a ticket quickly! Hall Of Fame HIS WEEK the doors of the Hall of Fame swung wide open to receive the Woodward boys who are courterous and thoughtful enough to remove their hats while in the building. Most boys know that entering a. school without removing his hat is an act that shows bad breeding and reflects on his character and intelligence. It is a simple and easy task to reach up and take off your hat. Why, then, are there so many boys that, despite constant nagging, still refuse to obey this rule? The doors of the Hall of Fame will always be open to receive anyone in Woodward who is ready and willing to obey accepted standards. ---And to the Hall of Oblivion we urgently recom- mend that boy who goes around the hallsbragging ,..L1.,il-.- Sellar's mind off Marjorie May, senior.

Princess Paul Sapieha This is the intensly personal story of six years in the life of a young American woman told against the background of a way of life which has now ended. When she was a student in F r a n c e , Virgilia Peterson Ross met Prince Paul Sapieha, through obstacles and partings they finally married. Once settled in Poland, however, the Princess was faced with the problem of adapting herself to the semi- feudal society which was the direot antithesis of anything a modern American girl could imagine. She made this adjustment with humor and insight which arouses in the reader a deep sympathy for a country which strove to shake off its medieval qualities to establish itself in the modern common- wealth of European nations. As the wife of a man who managed his family's vast estate, the Princess entertained shooting par- ties, attented boar hunts, traveled with her hus- band, partook of a strangely formal Warsaw society, and in between times tried to bring to the children of the peasants, in the face of ignorance and super- stition, modern methods of nutrition and prevent- ive medicine. This life came to an end quite suddenly in the summer of 1939 when the German bombers began to roar overhead. Finally the Princes was convinced of the vital necessity of fleeing with her two small children. The story of the five days after Germany invaded Poland and of her final escape, told with an undercurrent of horror and emotion held tightly in check, is one of the most poignant pieces of fm-H-:vm +n imma nut nf' fl-an nv-naont Fhwnnean War. The jinx-ridden Bears will play a well founded DeVilbiss team on the foe's Hoor to-night at 8:30. In the last game, DeVilbiss outscored the home team in a race for pay dirt 37-34 in the home stretch. Rocbke is the outstanding scorer for the DeVilbiss squad with Messerly and Swiekert run- ning a close second for the honors. The Tigers will be a hard obstacle to overcome in that they have a veteran team that uses a man to-man defense. The fast breaking quintet from West End shoot almost constantly from any angle on the floor. Riding hard luck, the Bears have wins chalked up against five losses. the games have been fought up to last minute and that is what the team will be doing against the Tigers. With a little assistance from the man who dishes out the aces and also a little more cooperation among the team members, the Bears can again break the win column to-night. Probable line-up for the Bear's to- night will be: Konz, Korowa, Koster, Myneder, and Przybysz. Federation Teams The Federation Team, made up of sec- ond and third Woodward freshman stringers, lost their initial game to the Friendly Center team. With this loss under their belts, the Fed team trimmed the North Toledo Community House, 18-9, in a last minute spree. The third game found them up against St. Michaels' and also found them winning this tilt, 25-9. Frosh Win 16-12 The Woodward Frosh took a 16-12 decision from the Macomber reserves after coming through from a tie at the three-quarter pole and forging ahead to win. Payah was high-pont man for the Bear Cubs with 6 points followed closely by Kein with five. DuPont and Long garnared three and two points respec- tively. Hessey of Macomber led the Mechan- ics with 9 points. Gym Bits All freshman girls, who did not have hygiene last semester, are now taking it. Any girl that was not in the danc- ing class last semester is enrolled in one of them this semester. The modified gym classes are partici- pating in a shufiieboard tournament. Intra-mural teams are engaged in a basketball tournament. There are about 28 girls in this se mester's swimming classes. The girls under direction of Mrs. Lois Draves swim at the Y. W. C. A. every Friday seventh hour. the and two All the 1.. Kornowa Takes Top Honors With 17 Points In Mac Tilt After the Hne showing last week against Scott, which put the Bears back in the win column, it appeared to be a first half let down when Macomber stopped the Woodward Basketeers, 47-39, last Friday on the foes battle ground. The Mechanics built an early lead and kept piling up markers to hold a 35-20, verdict at the intermission. Ma- comber's first half scoring splurge was due very much to the brilliant shooting of Chris Georgroff, who was hitting from every angle. The elusive little forward hung up 24 counters in the contest. The Bears shifting de- fense lacked efficiency, as the boys were always a step behind on the switch. The second half saw the Bears grad- ually cutting the Craftsman's lead,how- ever they failed to overtake it. The Bear defense also tightened this half holding the Mechanics to 12 points. Dave Kor- nowa, stellar Woodward forward, rack- ed up 17 counters to lead his team in scoring. The contest was very rough, with the officials calling 45 fouls Macomber played the last 30 seconds of the game with only four players. -..-.i.....1.-. Girls' Bowling The bowling classes held their first meeting in the girls' gym. The girls, all juniors and seniors, were taught correct bowling etiquette, how to keep score, and were organized into teams. The girl's under the supervision of Miss Cathrine McClure, bowl at the Auditoriorn Alleys. Tough Basketball Battles Fought By League Teams Basketball was again resumed in the intra-mural league for the second se- mester. In the second week of the new semester, four teams met on Monday, January 27, to fight it out. The Gridders downed the Polar Bears by one basket, 21-19. The Triangles were skunked by the Polish Lits. in a hard-fought scrap, 42-10. Four teams entered into a scrap on Wednesday, January 29. The Print Shop bowed to the Machine Shop by a 38-13 defeat. The Mechanics also were in a tussle with the Rens and the Mechanics were downed by a score of 21-16. Monday, February 3, saw the Grid- ders defeated by the Polish Lits in a tough scrap which was taken by the Polish Lits by a 15-12 victory. In a hard- fought tussle, the Triangles emerged victors over the Print Shop to the tune of 25-15. LETTERS AWARDED TO 19 VARSITY FOOTBALL PLAYERS LAST FRIDAY Letter and certificate awards were presented to all boys deserving them on Friday, January 30, by the A th 1 e t ic Department. A party was given for all varsity football players sometime in December. The letters were to be awarded at that time, but they had not yet arrived, therefore, the boys were given recognition of their awards. The varsity football players who were entitled to letter awards are: Joe Baz, Victor B u k o w s ki, Bernard Burns, William Crosby, Leo Dressel, Cliff Frankowski, Sylvester Golembiewski, Chuck Hartwick, Larry Johnson, Leon Konz, Bob Krell, Robert Myneder, Ray Pierson, John Pawlowicz, Bob Ramer, Jack Ramer, Leonard Rawski, Ray Sid- ardski, Alvin Szpila, and the managers, fried Welch, Don Baker, and Dick Ber- e . Many boys of the lightweight squad were entitled to letter awards. They are: Dick Abbajiy, George Aubry, Ver- non Baer, Jim Ballmer, Tom Boggs, Ray Breske, Marv Bucker, Jim Davis, Dick Hawkins, Paul Holewinski, Ray J agodzinski, Lou Kaczmarek, R a y Komasinski, Jo e Kozakowski, Bill Levans, Addison Martin, Jack Measley, Dick Mitchell, Ray Pietras, George Sanderson, William Santus, Ed Sloan, Lee Tucker, Al Ustazewski, Irv Wis- niewski, and the managers, Bob Dur- fey and Don Nopper. Five boys received certificates, al- though they were just as deserving of letters as the others. These boys are juniors and were on the lightweight squad last season and this season also. They received letters last year and therefore, received certificates this season. The boys are: Bob Brent, Bob Bortles, Paul Cramer, Marvin Hahn, and Bernard Laughton. Cross-country track letters were not awarded because there was a mistake in the order. A new order has been put in and the letters will be presented in the near future. 281 PINS Last Saturday's bowling contests saw Woodward's National and American quintets smash their opponents with totals of 2248 and 2497, respectively. The Nats chalked up an impressive win over Clay by 281 pins. American pin- sters were forced to bowl among them- selves for 'their opponents, Maumee, never showed up High Scores Bob Kerwin, captain of the Nats, again led his team mates with high singles and totals. Three individual games of 169, 167, 176, gave him the highest combination. Managahan, a new bowler, ranked second with a 175. McNith also shared in the honors by tying Kerwin in the singles division with 176 pins. Bob Chapman, American leaguer, banged out 204 to dwarf Marok's 200 game by four pins.Zielaskowski with a 192, placed third Total honors went to Marok, 535 who is bowling with the Amerks for the first time this year. Zielaskowski was second,518, closely followed by Chapman, 517. Members of the Bear National League bowling quintet gained a big laugh from ono of the Clay bowlers named Blum. With a barrage of eight straight strikes, Blum banged out a very high game of 229. The next game he fell down to 90, and his third game rose to 97, giving him a grand total of 416.

Led by the diminutive captain, Arthur Truss, the Rens disposed of the Polish Lits, last Thursday. The Renaissance have been setting a fast pace in the league, taking every contest. However, they still have two games before cinching the title. They must defeat the Triangles, and Grid- ders. The only real competition appears to be with the Gridders who have won three contests and lost two. Frosh Lose 35-29 Starting the second round in the local bucket season, the Woodward lightweight basketball team fell before the reserve squad from Macomber, last Friday night, 35 to 29. Led by Bob Brent, with four goals and a charity toss for 9 points, the losers battled on. Tonight the reserve team will attempt to get back into the win column against the Tiger lightweights from DeVilbiss. Gus Ohlinger A program consisting of an address by Gus Ohlinger, former member of the Board of Education, and two films, The World in Flame, and London Can Take It, will be given, Monday evening, January 10, in the auditorium. It will be sponsored by the Committee to Defend America by aiding the Allies, Woodward representatives who will assist are, Paul Lankenau, who is in charge, aided by Miss Dorothy Pasch, Clyde Meek, and Miss Bertha Vermilya. Volunteer Ushers At every game held on Woodward's basketball floor members of the girls W Club volunteer to usher.

Nash, president of Toledo University, was the speaker at the first Hi-Y-Friendship club Forum, held in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium last week. A double-octette from the Woodward Glee club, led by Ray Pierson, with Edith Waltersheid as soloist, furnished a great part ofthe splendidly arranged program. The h i g h l i gh t s from Dr. Nash's speech, The Star Spangled Banner, Long May It Wave, follow: An open discussion or forum of this type would have been impossible to holdin any of the totalitarian coun- tries. 0 I I If the. boys attending this forum were living in a nation at war, 25 per cent of them would be under colors.

Two Woodward Grads Are Distinguished At Bethany Two former scholars of VVoodward High School, Raymond Sheline and Phillis Hendrickson, each having re- ceived a scholastic scholarship to Beth- any College, have distinguished them- selves very impressively in the ratings of that school. Raymond Sheline, who is majoring in chemistry, established a very high point rating of 2.89 which placed him third in the school's semester laurels. Raymond's aggressiveness also attained him an assistantship under the head of the chemistry department. The brilliant young journalist from Woodward, Phillis Hendrickson, fol- lowed closely with a 2.88 point average to stand fourth in the school. Phillis received her scholarship on the basis of her high competative examination You have a choice of three places to visit to-night: first, the concertg second, the skate, and third, the game.

Now all you need to do is to try Saga Suzie's tactics. A British fledgling reporter had been reprimanded for his over long accounts and told to be more brief. His next story was turned in as follows: A shocking incident occured last night. Sir Peggy Vlank, a guest at Lady Brin yls ball, complained of feeling ill took his hat, his coat, his departure, no notice of his friends, a taxi, a pistol from his coat pocket, and finally, his life. Nice Dear Editor, It really seems a shame that in a school of aproximately 2400 students the school paper should carry gossip and news bits of only certain students. To gain any recognition in the so- called non partisan paper, is it deemed necessary to receive all A's thoughout the school year, or to be seen with Woodward's revered notables ? This is not only the opinion expressed by two students, but of many more. Let us strive to make the Tattler sur- pass all papers. Let us keep it on the top. The way to do this is to keep the student body interested. Interested in the stduent's paper. Dot and Bern. Dear Complaints, Although you mentioned it above, you seem to have forgotten that the Tattler is the students' paper .We on the staff only write the news as we see it. But you students are the ones that make the news. Several weeks ago there was printed in the Tattler an article assuring students that this was their paper and any news, gossip, or snatches of general interest would be gladly accepted in room 122. Poleh Bayah, too, has repeatedly requested quips for her column. What has been the student reaction to these pleas? Certainly not of a cooperative spirit. At least 85 percent of the few articles recieved from the students are printed. There definitely is no reason for saying, They wouldn't use it anyway. Your resentment concerning the so-called partiality of the Tattler in publioising gossip and general news bits of only certain students is certainly unfound- ed. You, yourself stated that there are 2400 students in Woodward. We have 25 staff members. That leaves almost 100 pupils for every reporter to be re- sponsible for. This, besides being an impossibiliy, is absurd. You have said that the names most appearing in the Tattler are those of Woodward not- ablesf' You are quite correct. But have you stopped to think of the reasons. that these students get more publicity? These pupils are the most active and ambitious. They participate in class activities and discussions. They make themselves known. We admit that there is plenty of news and gossip around Woodward that slips by us. But with- out notes and letters from you students informing us ofthese things, what other result would you expect? And here is a little rule that might be well for every- one to remember. Before you criticize, get the facts, before you accuse, get the proof, and when you accuse, do so in an impartial manner.---ED. ll Dear Editor: While I hate to always have a com- plaint section of vox pop it's the only way I know to say something about a situation that concerns a g oo d many of us. There has been much talk about the lack of responsibility and initative on the part of the stu- dents in school activities but I think the real responsibility lies with the teachers. Although often well-meant and quite un c onscious of the. fact, certain advisers dominate their or- ganizations to such a degree that any decision on the s tu d e nt's .part 1S merely a reflection of the opinion of the teacher. Club cabinets Welcome teachers advice and want them to have an active interest in their organizations but in several cases it has run to the extreme. After all, these are student activities which should be run by them. A Cabinet member. , Girls Study China The girls in the Home Living Class are studying the buying of demi-tasse and tea size china.

Under the supervision of Howard Phipps, the Fasces Club was launched in 1923 by a group of seven Latin stu- dents. Now, as then, any person study- ing Latin and interested in expanding his knowledge in this field is elegible to join. - During the school year of 1924-1925, the club joined a wellknown educational organization throughout Ohio and In- diana as the Zeta Chapter of the Fas- ces Club Its name comes from the Latin word fasces which refers to a bundle of rods with an ax in the center tied with heavy rope. These were carried by the lictors before the emperors' carriages as a symbol of authority. The club meets second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. This year the programs have consisted of a study of the Roman gods and goddesses. Virginia Lobet is president of the club, Sadie Douglas, vice-presidentgVir- ginia Konz, secretary: Betty Timmons, treasurer: and Jack Henzler, reporter. Mr. Phipps, Latin instructer, still ad- vises the club. Headaches And Heartaches Are Common To Engineer After climbing down a narrow flight of concrete steps, into ahuge subterra- nean chamber where three great boilers were being fed their daily rational monu- tain of coal, we gleaned the following facts from Earl Kaiser, who occasion- ally interrupted his story withsa friend- ly grin. The main headache in the engineer's quarters and the reason for inconsist- ent temperature in the classroom is the opening of doors a n d windows. Such a simple act serves to upset the entire heating system on that particu- lar side of the building since the heat is immediately shut off. If a room becomes too warm call the engineer, Charles At- kinson, as is done when the temperature is too low. From the deep, dark early hours ofthe morningf4:00 A.M., to be ex- actluntil 10:00 the same day, the temper ature is kept from 74 to 76 degrees, which is higher than the state law requires. During the average winter weather about 35 tons of coaliapproximately enough to heat 20 houses for one monthj are burned per week.The relics of thermostats which are seen in the halls were placed there about nine years ago, but were forsaken because they had to be replaced or repaired at the rate of eight or nine per week.This was due to the utter thoughtlessness of a few pupils. To the Board of Education, the water consumption is more of a headache than heating problem. It costs around 318,000 per year for the school's water supply. Parents Take Notice Don't Misunderstand Your Child 6 Have you ever heard this before? 'Mary, will you come in here and have something to eat? For goodness sake you're going to die of starvation yet. Then the next day: Mary, are you in the ice box again? Watch your diet or youlll be as big as a barrel. Another familiar scene: What? A great big high school boy like you can't be responsible for washing the car for me? Later-- Don't be ridiculous. You don't expect me to trust a little high school punk like you with my car? Still another scene: Jane, why don't you go out to geta little exercise? Dancing, for instance. Yes, why don't you get Ruth and go to a dance to- night?'l And than next week: Going out again? What will become of you? Can't you stay home just one night out of the week? You're a physical wreck. I forbid you to leave the house tonight. Beware, parents!

Constantly, Consistently Constructivei' NITE J -HOP . i 9-12 Vol. XIII Toledo, Ohio, February 14, 1941 No. 19 By Mrs. Eula Upp North, south, east, or west, in which direction shall we travel Hrst? No you're wrong again. I'm not going into rap- tures over the beautiful scenery of our country, though I easily could. Instead, I'd like to tell you of the many inter- esting crafts of itis people. As a child, my impression of an In- dian was someone with a tomahawk in one hand and somebodyys scalp in the other, but after a six week's trip west: I discovered they have a very artistic sense of color and geometric design. I came home loaded with pieces of beau- tiful pottery, silver and turquiose jewel- ry, and bright red, black, grey, and white Indian rugs. Their baskets are also lovely things , the different colored grasses obtained, not by dyeing them as you would imagine, but by picking them at different seasons of the year in different stages of ripeness. Much of their weaving is done out of doors, and the passerby has the joy of watching their deft lingers at work. There is a certain similarity in the crafts of the mountain people, whether we visit our own Kentucky mountain- eers, or those of the Quebec Lauren- tians, or the Rockies of the Lake Lou- ise region. Woodcarving seems to be the hobby of the men and boys, and homespun towels, bedspreads, knitting bags, and even luncheon sets are skill- fully woven by women and girls. Throughout eastern Canada hooked rugs, made during the long winter months, are displayed for sale on the porches of their homes. The wood car- ving of the French peasants of Canada are often brightly painted, but the craved hound dog that I bought in Berea, Kentucky, is red-brown of the cherry wood from which it was carved. They also use much hickory and some walnut and maple, all of which are left in their natural color. In the Smoky Mountain region, hand-made pottery and hammered aluminum dishes are made in craft schools as well as by the native p e o p le. Candlewicking has gained in popularity in our southeas- tern mountain region.On a recent trip to Florida, I bought a dark red robe whose tufting was so closely done that none of the background material was visible. Speaking of Florida reminds me of those delicious jams, marmalades, and honeyswhich we sampled so generous- ly, made of quava, oranges, kumquats, and tangerines. There I go, talking about food again, but I can't resist mentioning the pecan pralines of New 1 Orleans, also. They may not be a craft ' but they certainly are an art, 1 1 A TEACHERS PLEA FOR CLEAN HALLS Much has been said about keeping Woodward's halls clean but, so far, re- sults have been absolutely unsatisfac- tory. This is very discouraging and what is worse, it will continue to be so un- less every individual realizes the truth and importance of cleanliness of mind, body, and home conditions. As for home, your school is your home during the many hours that you spend there.Take hold of yourselves, boys and girls, and manifest your real civic spirit. As I was walking through the halls yesterday, the conditions of the halls, especially, on the second fioor, grieved me very much. On the third floor, how- ever, I stepped into room 335, and an- other world opened up before me. Gold- en sunlight fell on the faces of young artists, lit up the murals portraying early history of America, and I gazed upon them in sincere admiration. In my heart awoke a great hope. If some of our Woodward students are capable of doing such fine work, and if all the others, perhaps not gifted with such talents, are willing and capable of enjoying the beauty of somebody else's work, our halls will be cleaner, for clean- liness is a talent which may be exer- cised by everybody. Now let us start today!

Cleaner building during lunch hours. Hall Of Fame ARCH right in, J-Hop committee men. The brand new seats in the Hall of Fame are ready and waiting for you. The entire success of this year's Junior Prom has rested on your shoulders and you have not betrayed the faith placed in you by the members of your class. You have given time and energy. Your reward will come in the obvious success of this annual dance, in the smiles that will be on everyone's faoe tomorrow night, in the gay, carefree atmosphere that will dominate your dance, in the personal pride and satisfaction of doing a hard job well. And to the Hall of Oblivion we nominate that often swell fellowv who wants to attend the J-Hop but will wait until tomorrow evening at 5:30 to get a date. J-Hop, Juniors, Jump and Jive O MORE do these halls of Woodward abound with innocent creatures who reward Going to the J-Hop? with a blank stare. It is known by each and all that the J-Hop represents, not a little blue-jay happily hopping on one claw, but the all important event of the junior year, the JUNIOR PROM. Due to the excellent publicity distributed to the four winds by enthusiastic workers, the prom has gained an all-round reception of open arms and hands plunged deep into pockets and hearts. Excited speculation as to who is going with whom, who is wearing what, and who is arriving how, have been the topics of many a conversation. And well it should, for when any one class attempts to successfully put over such a mammoth under- taking, applause should be on all hands and cheers on all lips, for those who intend to present us with one chapter of our life not to be easily forgotten. But it cannot be that a select few should obtain their aim without the cooperation of others inter- ested. Therefore you, the student body is heartily slapped on the back for so ably contributing to the support of tomorrow night's most important event Dancing classes helped us not to let our feet hin-. ger gs, so come along to the beat of Hanzelman's an . Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You F SOMEONE would come into your home and ask you to mar and deface your living room chair, you, besides refusing, would undoubtably think him crazy. If you saw some other person do- ing this, you would stop him, forcibly or otherwise, Why, then, does such an issue have to be made about the removing and breakin g of chairs in Woodward. ln doing such acts, you are not hurting the fac- ulty, you are cutting your own throat . First, the chairs are placed in the halls for the use of the hall guards elected by you, second, the chairs in the cafeteria are there for your beneit---to make eating more comfortable and convenient for you, third, unless this needless destruction is stopped. unpleasant measures will have to be taken which will effect the entire student body as 'well as your- se . The next time you are tempted to remove a chair or otherwise show contempt for authority it might be well to remember the old adage, Only afool i i 1:1-I ' 13 our feelings we should try to keep a . clear, cool head if we expect to come 1 any way near to an unbiased judge- ment of the conditions as they actually exist. Usually the fellow who loses his head in a fit of temper when he is-fighting loses the fight. If our school teaches us nothing else it should teach us tolerance. Tolerance does not mean agree- ing with everyone. It merely assumes the sincerity of the other fellow in defending his point of view and accords him respectful attention while he airs his convictions. To be able to listen quietly and carefully to the views of one who is diametrically opposed to us is one of the highest marks ofculture and education. To shout down violently all who are opposed to us is the mark of the decadent savage. We are studying and thinking a great deal about our American Way of Life as opposed to that of other people under the various regimes of Fascism, Nazism, or Communism. As you study these latter forms you will notice that all criticism of govern- ment or leaders is absolutely forbidden. Here in America we may disagree and criticize to our heart's content. It is guaranteed to us by the Bill of Rights as part of our constitutional heritage. Thus, no matter how violently some hare brain may talk and how badly we may wish to use vio- lence to shut him up, letis remember that people who can freely talk out their problems will not be called on to fight to Settle them. .X C?C?..a? Between The Book Ends I Married Adventure ---Osa Johnson Says Fannie Bulcher in the Chicago Daily Tribune, Underneath the thrills it is a record of man's dream of adventure realized, and of a wo- man's happy marriage. It is for the reader, truly a literary gem, At the age of sixteen Martin John- son left Independence, Kansas, and began roaming about the world. At twenty he went off with Jack London. When he returned to Kansas he met Osa Leighty, and they were soon married. Their first expedition led them to an island in the south seas near Borneo. Cannibals still existed here and they barely escaped with their lives several times. The Martins once explored Africa by airplane and made the first sound pictures of the Ituri Foresr pygmies All together in their explorations they have circled the globe twice. This book is especially interesting to boys and girls of high school age. Etiquette First, last, and always enjoy yourself, but here re a few rules to observe: 2- Talk with guests of honor and chaperone. 3 . Exchange dances as couples. For example if John asks Mary for a dance, her escort will dance with the girl John brought. 4. Don't sulk if she wants to sit one out. 5. Cut in more frequently. 6. Don't bother to buy flowers because you'll be the one to need them. 7. Wear cleaked shoes. She likes the athletic type. Tell her she looks revolting. Then you'll be a gruesome twosome.

DEVILBISS SWAMPS S GYM SHORTS 1 BEARS BY 9 POINTS The Woodward basketball live added Gym Instructor Art Smlth Wants another defeat to their schedule last Friday evening, falling the victims of the DeVilbiss Tigers in the West Siders gym 48-39. Although the Bears were defeated, Captain Norm Przbysz had an excep- tionally good night bagging ten field goals and four free throw for 24 points. Fifteen of his markers coming in the last stanza when the Polar Bear :made a valiant attempt to overtake the hight lead DeVilbiss had 'built in the early stages of the contest. The Tigers lead at the end of the first chapter 10-7, going on to build a 25-16 half-time advantage. Woodward trailed at the end of the third quarter 22-40. In the remaining part of the game Woodward put on a strong scoring thrust but still fell short of a victory. The Tigers out-shot the Bears from the field 19-16 and from the foul line 10-7. Paul Roebke was high scorer for the Tigers with 19 markers. Federation Team Loses To Point Place Squad 19 to 15 The Woodward Federation te am bowed to fighting Point Place team, Tuesday, 16-15. The game was tied as the final gun went off and the ofiicials started an overtime.

Some of the Woodward players are: Jack Eaton, Bob DuPont, Gene Lewis, Ken Ramer, Glen Weaner. Woodward Freshmen Beat Tiger Greenies By 2 Points The entire freshman squad partici- pated in the defeating of the DeVilbiss greenhorns, last Friday, 21-19.

Jake Przybysz turned in the most commendable performance of his high school career as he banged home 10 goals and 4 fouls for a 24 total against the rampaging DeVilbiss Tigers, last Friday night. His brilliant scoring feat was of little avail as his team mates bogged down under the much faster Tiger squad. if i O Due to financial difficulties, Scott High School may be forced to drop all spring sports. Such a stroke would mean the discontinuance ofsuch major sports as tennis, track, golf and base- ball. Sports in which the West Siders have excelled and, in the one instance of track, have dominated in the past years. 3 I I Bob Gerber, versatile Rocket forward, continued to lead the state individual scoring aces with a season's total of 284 points. Bob's latest addition to his scoring prowess was a 27-point splurge at the expense of the Dayton Flyers. Bear Cubs Bow To Tigers In Second Straight Loss Woodward's plucky Polar Cubs bowed to the mighty DeVilbiss five by a score of 28-16 The boys' playing has not been up to standard. Before this game,their second straight defeat, the Cubs gained three successive victories. The score at the half was 11-15 in favor of the Tiger Cubs. In a fourteen minute period the Polar Cubs could gain no points, but managed to grab a final five points in the second half. The boys who saw action were: Sloan- Brent, Kosakowski, Sheline, Weidenger, Halawinski, Getz, McKinley, Ransome, Tucker, Earle, Golembiewksi and Jag- azinski. Brent and Kosakowski were top-scor ing men.They grabbed four points each Sheline, I-Iolanwinski' and Getz each snagged one point. Weidinger sunk a basket and Sloan grabbed three points Red Cross The Junior Red Cross of Woodward is making a plea to all students to bring yarn for the making of afghans which will be sent to the army and navy and to the war victims. Mrs. Mary O,Brien, advising the club, called for yarn early this week, but the students did not respond as they should. Koster Will Be Stars Of Tonight's Game Koster The Woodward Polar Bears will play Waite on the home floor to-night. The battle between the fourth place Indians and the fifth place Bears will be a hot and hard fought game. Game is set at 8 o'clock. Despite the stinging blow dealt to ths Bear quintet by DeVilbiss, Koster and Pryzbysz will be a serious threat to the Indians. Przybysz, Bear high score man, will be bucke1ing it out with Dexter from Waite. Along with Dexter, White will be a headache for the Bears. A zone defense is usually used by Waite but in Wood- ward's big gym they probably will be forced to use a man-to-man defense. Waite has a tall team, the highe s t standing six feet three inches bearing the name Walker. This leaves three feet nine inches between him and the bucket--a good reason for Waite's effec- tive scoring. In the past three encounters, Waite is one game up on the Bears but things are going to be evened up tonight in the home gym. Starting line-up will probably beg Erzybysz, Koster, Sahadi, Kornowa, and onz. Fifty-Two Bowlers Enroll In Girls' Bowling Classes The girls' bowling league has been organized for the s e co n d semester with the teams playing on every Mon- day after school at the Auditorium Bowling Alleys.

BASKETEER, BOWLER INTERVIEWED Whenever you see Esther Bloom with a five-foot ten-inch, 175-pound, blue eyed, and brown-haired muscle man, you'll know that it's none other than Dick Koster. Dick is an ardent sports participator, having played four years of football, two on the varsity squadg four years of basketball, also two years on the varsity, and three years as one the nine men on the baseball team. He has been acting captain in many of his athletic achieve- ments. His greatest ambition is to attend college two years so he can attempt to be a G-Man or to join the Army Air Corps. His secret ambition is an unusu- al one for an athlete, that of going to New York City to see and hear an opera. Looking forward to tomorrow night when he will escort foresaid Esther Bloom to the J-Hop and trying to figure out what's wrong with this year's basketball team are the main reasons why this handsome senior lad has had no leisure time lately. German and history are his favorite subjects, Miss Ford Sunday Evening Hour, best liked radio program. A fat, juicy steak and all the trimmings and other foods are tops with Dick. Collecting historical pictures is another interest of his. Dave McNitt Towering five feet ten inches from the bowling alley, stands Dave McNitt, red-headed demon bowler faverage 150j from the American League. Dave sports a red tie to match his fiery hair and to contrast his baby blue eyes. Hobby is collecting old coins, but Dave states he has a hard enough time collecting new ones on his live paper routes. Favorite food is chop suey and favorite dishes---well Dave says, quote, 'Tm bashful, unquote. Beside being athletically minded, Dave received three A's and one B on his grade card. Spanish and Geometry are favorite subjects of this sergeant-ab arms of the senior class.

What is it I'm try- ing to say? Well, if you want to know I'1l tell you. Let's say you're bending over your home work in study hall, concentrating so hard that your brain feels like dish water, when something suddenly hits you on the head. Do you wonder what it is or do you possess an iron plate hide like a hippoper-hippo, well, like a rhimoc-er, rhi-, well, anyway, do you have such atough hide so as not to feel anything? If you do wonder, then you get to thinking. You say to yourself, It couldn't have been a mosquito, because they're out of season. It couldn't be a tarantula, because they don't live so far north. It must be a rubber bandf' Do you get the idea? In other words, I protest against shooting rubber bands. Yours sincerely, Guess Who?

Firstly, call him up, you know, like Sage Suzie, but don't throw yourself at him, just say, I er-love you Ctill after valentine dayj and then give him a big ....,....... box of candy. Fooled you, didn't I ? After all this he'll be so over-whelmed that he will ask you to go to the Valen- tine Thump at school and all the boys will be ever so jealous. But be sure he's good looking and you are wearing a come hither dreamy expression so they will be scourged and seeing red.

After seeing Norris Dam, a T.V.A. project, Mrs. Brinkerhoff and her hus- band attempted to snap pictures of Man O' War and War Admiral in Lex- ington, Kentucky, but soon discovered that it was forbidden. On the Lewis plantation, where turpentine is distilled and rosin is made, they talked with a 97-year old Negro, a former slave, who boasted proudly of having shaken hands with President Linclon. The water at Miami Beach was swell and very warm, stated Mrs. Brinker- hoff, but in direct contrast to it, were the icy-cold waters of Daytona Beach, where auto-racing speed records have been set. I guess the Gulf stream must have something to do with it. They brought back tree-ripened sweet oranges and grapefruits, which they picked and tasted. St. Augustine, the oldest Spanish city in America, and t h e Everglades were both visited. Trees, swamps, and marshes seemed to stretch in every direction into bor- ing miles, declared Mrs. Brinkerhoff as she described the Everglades, where some Seminole Indian tribes still dwell. Driving through Washington, D.C., on the return trip, they entered the House of Representative where the timely and most important issue of the day, the lend-lease bill, was being discussed by Miss Jeanette Rankin, congresswomen who had the floor. Ability To Explain Highest In Teacher Personality List In checking the personality traits of a teacher it was found that the deci' sions of the students and teachers were considerably different. Ranking highest with the students was ability to explain with 871 votes. Next in line, with a drop of nearly a hundred votes, was ability to make work interesting, followed by: ability control class sense of h u m o r 'i to , , patience,' ' fairness, Ucheerfulness and friendliness, knowledge of subject matterf' pleasing appearance, and helpfulness Although at the bottom is the students' opinion, the teachers cast the highest amount of votes for know- ledge of subject matter, followed by ability to control class, sense of humor, patience, ability to make work interesting, fairness, ability to explainf' good health, sincerity, Ncheerfulness and friendliness, and reliability.

An endevoring teacher, Miss Anne Wetterman, founded the organi- zation and has been active advisor in the ten years of its existance. The institution was formed in the same year that the German language was reinstated, as a course of study, in Toledo public schools The members selected a very fitting name in Freie Babu, which lit e r al ly m eans, in English, a new trial. A cabinet of officers consisting ofpres- ident, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, has been the method of governing the club. Meyer Schall first president of the organization, held great interest in his work and contributed largely to its success. An annual Christmas dance, thought to be the finest dance of the year by many students, was formerly given by the German club. However, due to out- side interferences, the occasion has not been held in the last two years. Secondly all members of the organization enjoy a very colorful banquet in the spring of each new year. Several plays have been presented by this group, which were given merit and enjoyment to the actors and the audience. In 1935, the German club pre- sented Woodward with a beautiful portrait of the three Wiseman, which hangs, at present, in its memorable space in the main office of the school. An old fashioned coffee shop, charac- teristic of old Germanic style, has always been the club's contribution as a concession for Carnival Night. The peaceful little shop in the corner of the school always welcomes the weary Car- nivalgoer. This institution was created to develop, in the s t u d e n t s, a greater knowledge and appreciation of German culture. The present officers of this club are: President, Lilly Schluter, Vice-Presi- dent, Dick Koster, Secaetary, Bonnie Struble, Treasurer, Ruth Scheidler, and reporter, Richard Sheline. Art Murals On Democracy Display By Pupils In 335 During the past weeks in room 335, the members of Miss June Anderson's art classes have been displaying and describing the murals on their walls. Democracy is the theme of the murals painted by each individual student. Presenting the traditional colors of the flag, the border is painted in red, white, and blue. Derothy Slupecki, Betty McCutcheon, and Delores Tank did the work on the border. The title of each mural and the persons who painted them are as fol- lows: Pilgrim's Landing, Delores Down- ing, Freedom of Religion, Isadore You- rist, Declaration of Independence Eve- lyn Ingle, Betsy Ross and the Flag, Helen Warner, George Washingtonls, Election, Mary Steger, Monroe Doctrine Dan Kaczarowski, Liberty and Equa- lity, Marjorie May, Freedom of Speech Alfred Lewandowski, Freedom of the Press, Eugene Bogdanski, Trail by Court, Alvin Waniewski, Woman Suffer age, Rachel Duffey, Liberty and Persuit of happiness, Eddie Gaasiorowki, and Domestic Tranquility by Ralph Mc- Lennon. Frosh Attend Sing The first sing sponsored by the Student Council was held for freshmen Monday in the auditorium. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors will attend these meetings of patriotic songs, February 24, 25, and 26, respectively.

The leading feminine role. Elizabeth, will be played by Eileen Derr, the main masculine part, Darcy, by Dalton Hille. Jane will be portrayed by Susan Wil l Four New Books Presented To Library By Pericleans Four new books have been added to the school library. They were presented by the Periclean Literary Society, which plans to contribute more in the future so as to fill in the special section alloted to the numbers they donate. My Name Is Aram by Saroyan and Saphira and the Slave Girl by Willa Cather are two novels which were among those given, they have become very popular with those who use the school library. The title of Best Broad- casts of 1938-39 is self-explanatory: in- cidentally it is the first book of its kind to be published. Leaves of Grass is an attractive volume of Walt Whit- rnan's poems, illustrated with striking pictures symbolizing American life. Having joined the Book-of-the Month club, the Peris will be kept well informed about the books that will be currently popular, they will endeavor to buy those they think suitable tor the library. It was decided that a monthly literary magazine will be subscribed for and presented also. Miss Marie Griffin is the adviser of this society. Art Klan Guests Of Waite Miss June Anderson and five mem- bers of the Woodward Art Klan were guests of the Waite Art club last Tues- day. While there, they played games, listened to speeches made by the presi dents of the various clubs, and made plans for a future get-together of all Art clubs of the city. Woodward's representatives were: Delores Downing, Evelyn Ingels, Mar- vin Hahn, Ruth Lee and Don Ruff. P. T. A. Party The Riverside School P. T.

Attend Club Meetings - N NAME ONLY, is a very apt description which may refer to those club members who proudly boast that they belong to six organizations, and, golly, I haven't been to a meeting yet. Of course, when the call for club pictures was heard, so many students appeared, partly because of having their beautiful countenances gracing the Saga and partly in order to escape the strict rule of knowledge for a second or two, that the presidents were supposed to have shouted as in one voice, What a darling big club we shall have! Sadly enough, when meetings came, the cabinet and per- haps two members, afraid of being ousted because of low grades, could be discerned slouching down in seats. Yes, miserable fate, these groups, to plan skates, dances, and other entertainments, have dwindled unrnercifully until the adviser himself would rath- er stay away. Why can't you attend club meetings? If you be- long to the right number, your days should be so balanced so as to allow you to participate in each gathering. The dentist, doctor, library, and moth- er's little helper to each is attributed the majority of excuses. In some unusual instance, such as having con' tracted a little rare disease and needing a blood transfusion, an excuse could be accepted: but when it reaches the climax of pupils having to stand in line to hand out excuses to the secretary, some- thing should be done. It will be done, too! So if you are fearful of being caught in the consequences of not attending meet- ings, you had better start attending! Help Better Your School System HERE IS A phase in school life today that: though present years ago, was not regarded as being important. In your parent's genera- tion, rules, assignments and punishments were meted out without the slightest regard for the student's opinions and thoughts on the subject. Today, however, student opinion is respected by the school boards and numerous questionnaires and blanks are distributed to discover just what the pupil does think on various matters concerning his school. Many of us are inclined to think it a waste of time and energy to fill out questionnaires. The fact that our opinion is being asked for, that our ideas on the subject are desired seems unnecessary to many of us. Instead of careful, thoughtful work on the questionnaires, we mumble and complain about the time it takes or the work it requires. This is not the proper attitude to take. When someone is kind enough to ask for your opinion on a subject t h a t vitally concerns yourself, you should be courteous enough to oblige willingly. Fill out quetionnaires and blanks with t h e thpught in mind of improving and bettering the .1 A uf' Y - it--...,v - - All I have to say is that the coming Coed-Prom certainly ought to be a success.

In the days of John Fremont and Kit Carson, no road was too long for discovering new territories in the west. Young Jonathan Greenfall started training himself for trail blazing from the moment he heard the facinating stories told about California. It is a story of Jonathan's trek across the wild- ness with Fremont, and of history-making events which took place after their arrival in California. All of Jonathan's experiences are told with the rare sense of adventure and character portrayal that distinguish Miss Hawthorne's books. This book is especially recommended to the boys. More Proof With all those cupids hearts, and arrows fiying hither and thither, it seems as if love is again break- ing out in bigger and better epidemics. Don't you believe me?

Disappointing Sights Other people may spend their time telling vis- itors about the lovely and thrilling sights they are likely to see at Woodward, but this reporter wants to create a sensation by listing the disappointing sights of this prison. Some of them are disappoint- ing beoause they are surprising and against expec- tations.

Treasure Island H As long as we have f'8's we're gonna have par- rots to yell pieces of 8. Just like in the old days when a one-legged lug, named J. Silver tried to take over a plank walker's dough hidden on an island. But the fair-haired boy of the whole shebang, name of Jim Hawkins, beats him to the island and they're going to it hot and heavy when an old scarecrow, named Ben Gunn, comes along. Gunny had been deserted on this island, like a sailor with- out rum, by a bunch of turban topped raiders. He didn't look so hot and had too much vitamin I but all same he had the wampum hidden in his palace, which was a cave. Well, sir, after more fighting and fueding and cutlasses, and crumpets, the Hawkins Highlanders knocked the Silver Streaks for a loop and went back to England, richer than the secretary of the treasury--where Gunn went on a rum diet to make up for lost time, and kills himself by taking a shot of ginger ale which he mistook for rum. Moral: No matter how screwy a guy looks, he may have a cave with a lot of jack in it.

This will be one ofthe closest games of the season. In a sense, the Bears will be out to revenge last year's game when the Irish Courtiers tolpped Woodward from first place in the city league race. Woodward's jinx was working fine when they lost a heart-breaker to Libbey. It was then broken when hot Przybysz smashed into and crumbled Waite's solid defense wall. If the Bears are in as fine a working order as they were last week against Waite, Central will be plowed under, but if old man jinx rides again, the Bears will have a tough time. The rivalry between the two schools is intense and a huge crowd is expected to turn out. Reserves Still In Slump As Indian Seconds Win 24-16 Woodward's Polar Cubs handed the Waite reserves a 24-16 victory in the skirmish played last Friday night on their home fioor. At the half 12-2 against the Woodward seconds. They outscored the Indians in the second half to snag 14 points before the gun. The boys are in a stall for some reason or other. The slump may possibly be due to the Cub's losing Wisniewski to the varsity squad . This is the fourth straight defeat, but maybe the next game will break the jinx. Of the thirteen lads who participated, Getz snagged four points and Sheline grabbed three, Golembiewski garnered two points, Brent grabbed one, and Jagazinski landed three. Ransome snd McKinley garnered one and two points respectively. Andrus, Waite's top- scoring man was the deciding factor. Champion Badminton Team Takes Part In Tournament Alba Pasquinelli and Ralph Biss- onette are the champion badminton team participating in the Co-ed tourna- ment. Aclose second are Sadie Douglas and Ralph Beattle. Third in the race are Ruth Damraur and Gerard Lider- kowski. The tournament is played every Fri- day, after school in the girl's gym. Seven other teams also play and they stand in the following order: Ruth Straight and Frank Szylak, fourth, Dorothy Damraur and Earl Lildequist, fifth, Florence Widlund and Billy Barker, sixth, Esther Zak and Charles Kasten, seventh, Virginia Clarke and Earl King, eighth, Betty Jean Clarke and Harry Jacobs, ninth, and Lucille Weeks and Bill Gernheuser, tenth. 7 Frosh Basketball Captain Doesn't Believe Fair Sex I don't believe in girls and you can put that in, stated Jim Knierem, fresh- man basketball captain, when asked about the fairer sex. This handsome, sandy-haired lad, towers 5 feet seven inches into the air and totes 140 pounds around under a freshman Hi-Y sweater. Along with this club, Hank, as he is called, belongs to the German club and rates this sub- ject at the very top. QMiss Wetterman, please take note.J On the extreme other end, Jim puts Science. Who likes to mess around like that? he asked when questioned about his most disliked subject. His ambition is to be a civil engineer. Hank plan s to go out for light- weight football and varsity baseball next year. He has had experience in the latter as he played baseball with the Wilson Park baseball team, which turned out to be champions and trav- eled to Detroit to the pay-off. In closing, when asked about Wood- ward's basketball team, he remarked, with one foot in his English class and 'tother on this reporter, Wait, with that he returned to Treasure Island. Rens Still Lead Intra-Mural Race With Six Wins, One Loss The Rens are leading the intra-mural basketball race with 6 wins and 1 loss, Machine Shop is second and the Grid- ders are in the number 3 position as they enter the last phase of their sched- ules with but two games to play. On Wednesday, February 12, the Ma- chine Shop defeated the Polar Bears, 27 to 15, while the Mechanics gave the Polish Lits the short end of a 13 to 9 contest. The league le a d i n g Rens were defeated for the first time on Monday, February 17, by the Gridders, 14 to 13, in a close hard fought battle. The Tri- angles, in a vital attempt to get into the win column, once again, were defeat- ed by the Polar Bears, 24 to 22.

Last year Mr. Fetters was assistant varsity football coach. This year he is an assistant to the lightweight and he holds the positions of frosh basketball and varsity track coaches. When asked if he had any hobbies, Bill stated that he hardly has any time for them because he leaves his home at 7:30 in the morning and does not re- turn until 6:30 in the evening. You might call photography an undeveloped hobby. I have a camera like Mr. Thompson's, but I haven't taken a pic- ture for a year. I havenit had time, stated Mr. Fetters, when questioned about his hobbies. His best hobby is playing with his kids. He has a boy five and a girl three. He has no time for picture shows and very seldom listens to the radio except forone pro- gram, the Ford Sunday Evening Hour which he never misses. He has many favorite foods, but his best liked is strawberry shortcake. Bill has been teaching for seven years, three of them at Woodward. Woodward Loses Encounter With Libbey Cowboys 27-25 After building a brilliant first-half lead, Wooward's luckless quintet again dropped a close contest to Libbey, 25-27, at the North Enders' Gym. The Cow- boys staged a thrilling comeback in the second half and brought on a crowd raising finish. Woodward exhibited afine brand of cage work before the Hrst intermission. Norm Przybysz handling the pivot po- sition very effectively, fading and fak- ing his guard for six buckets. Often, the elusive Przybysz would fake his man until he fell down, then step back, swish a fielder. The Bear defense tight- ened considerably, as they held the Cowboys to 9 points in the first two frames. Woodward led at the end of the first rest, 18-9 half-time advantage. The Cowboys came back stronger the second half, cutting the Bear's lead to 20-14 at the end of the third stanza. In the final chapter, several of the players, on both squads, were removed on fouls. A Libbey substitute dropped in three fast buckets, to tie the score. The final seconds decided the c o n t e s t with Przybysz dropping a beautiful one-hand shot to put Woodward out in front. How- ever, a free throw and a follow up shot by Schmakel, gave Libbey the decision.

Homer Hanham Thrashing Waite High's basketeers to the tune of 34-21 in the liveliest and thrill-packed game of the year, the Bears caused the worst upset of the. season. The game was played in the home gym. The Indians had a hard time trying to scale Woodward's wall of defense and only managed eight points through- out the first half. At the half-time, the Bears had a 17-8 advantage and at the third stanza mark, they still had an advantage of 24-18. In the last half, Waite changed to a man-to-man defense which only aided the Bears in nesting the egg to the final score of 34 and 21. Norm Przybysz was in rare form and dropped two for the home team before a minute had time to fly away. Cons- tantly throughout the game, Norm pounded the Waite defense until at the end of the tilt, he added 11 points to the final score. Dave Kornowa was long shot man, hitting consistantly from beyond the keyhole. Dave was not far behind Pryzbysz with ten points on his personal scoreboard. Pryzbysz, Bialecki, and Wisniewski each earned one charity marker while Pryzbysz, Kornowa gained five goals, Konz added two and Bialecki, Koster, Wisniewski hit pay dirt for one apiece. Freshmen Triumph 27-18 In Easy Encounter With Waite With a big total of 15 points, Bob Kubiak helped a great deal as the Woodward freshman knocked off the Waite Bucketters at Waite February 14, 27-18. The whole frosh squad played in the game and the scoring wound up with 6 points garnered by Du Pont, Knierem nailed 4, and Klein got 2. On February 4 the Temperance Var- sity came to Woodward and bowed to the freshmen 29-16. Again the whole team played with Long getting 8, Kubiak 6, Klein 3, and Payak, Ramer, Eaton, Knierem, Weaver and Bonkowski all getting two apiece. February 11 found the Cubs at Libbey winning 17-5 with Klein and Long hit- ting the hoop for six each. Payak and Knierem got three and two respectively. Frosh Basketball Quintet Beaten By Clay Fiveg 23-16 A fighting Woodward freshman team lost to a strong Clay squad at the 1atter's home floor 23-16 with Nelson of Clay leading both clubs in scoring by chalking up 10 points. At the halftime Clay held a 10-3 lead over the little Bears, but Woodward pulled up almost to them before Clay stormed the bucket to boost a lead they never relinquished. I Payak was high point man with 7 points for Woodward. Knierem followed with four. Long and Ramer came next with two apiece and Weiner hauled in Hasn't this last week been an excit' ing one with Woodward's b e ating Waite in basketball and al s o the J-Hop?

Miss Savage, a native ofStrea- tor, Illinois, received elementary educa- tion in Streator and her M.A. degree from the University of Michigan. She has also studied at Columbia University in New York, Toledo University, and St. John's University in Toledo. Although she's fond of everything to eat, she finally classed peppermint candy as her favorite food. The color that ranks first with this instructor seems closely allied with her favorite food-it is pink. Miss Savage has traveled north, east, and south, but with little hesitation she named her visits to Quebec and New Orleans as being the most enjoy- able trips. History has been the subject she has taught most, but she has also had classes in English and mathematics. Irene Dunne and Spencer Tracy rank tip-top with her as actress and actor. Knute Rockne--All American was the movie she liked best this year. Infor- mation Please and Charlie McCarthy are the two radio programs listened to most regularly by this instructor. Miss Savage ended the interview by saying, Woodward is a very friendly school, and having taught at Parkland several years ago I've recognized many of my former pupils, so I feel very much at home.

I have heard many students boo the decisions of the officials. This sort of thing is very childish and is certaninly not being a good sport on your part. The guilty per- sons doing this do not realize the trou- ble they might cause their own team or school. Ifthese cat calls and boos continue during the game the referee has the jurisdiction of penalizing your team, which might consequently lead to its defeat. If an oflicial penalizes your favorite player it is because he was in position to see the play and you cannot say it should not be such, be- cause you are sitting in the stands and certainly not in any position to judge what fouls should or should not be called. Let's remember to be good sports at all times. The person who cheats out- right, or quits, or boasts or apoligizes, or is a bad loser, is proving himself a Outlined By Coach Of what does sportsmanship consist? The thing is more complex, perhaps, than many suspect. But all will agree that one of the chief characteristics of the sporting spirit consists in being fonder of fair play for its own sake than of power. The true sportsman loves a. fair field and no favor, because he is made that way. The true sportsman, besides being a fair player or spectator, is a good loser. Other thing being equal, he sincerely prefers to play a superior than an inferior, although you do find some boys that would rather play inferior teams all of the time. I don't think this should be the incentive of a good sportslu an. The abler his opponent is, the better, because the more illuminating and stimulating. When beaten you never catch him whining or apologizing. Though the sportsman is a good loser, however, he is a precious hard loser. He never says die, then he is not exact- ly in a position to say much of any- thing. He is a dead game sport,' which is, I may assume, a sport who continues game until he drops dead. He never knows when he is beaten. Some players are different, however. Quite often they are beaten in the first few minutes of play and they let down definitely. If they are hard pressed toward the end ofthe game, one expects them to throw up their hands in a des- pairing characteristic g e s t u r e and whine, What's the use? If they are up against a much stronger opponent, they will often act like spoiled child- ren and play with deliberate careless- ness in order to save their dignity by having it appear that they do not want to take the game seriously. To be bru- tally plain, they are what we vividly call a quitter.'i This not only applies to athletes, but to the boys and girls, and everyone in every phase of life. The true sportsman is a good winner. He never gloats. After a victory he will make much of the unique points in the other fellow's style, pretending that the game was really closer then the score indicates. Sportmanship, then, is a blend of fairness, the grace of a good loser, gameness, modesty, the grace of a good winner, and loyalty to the team. It is one of the most infectious things in creation.

And have you ever thought about the reasons for absence? If you haven't, let me tell you. In the month of January alone it cost the board 31,263.25 because 5053 days were lost in absence. This probably seems a staggering amount and it is for the school loses 25 cents for every day thata pupil misses of school Fur- thermore, your parents are the ones who suffer because of absence. So be- fore bumming think of these facts. In any case, don't forget Clyde Meek and Miss Amie Miller will catch you any- way. Now for the reasons for absence. It seems that personal illness is Public Cause No. 1. And ranking in No. 2 spot is illness in the family.In No 3 position is not doing homework. fSounds like the Hit Parade doesn't it.J This reason accounts for 320 days lost in December and 143 days in January. Playing truant seemed to be more popular in January than in December for 178 days were missed in comparison to 128 in December. Now don't get any ideas for as you can see more kids got caught in January and that only goes to show that you can't get away with it forever. Mrs. Betty Brinkerhoff compiled the statistics.

George Rohrer ranks first with her as pedagogue and so naturally French is her preferred subject. She says that she doesn't have a hobby, but in the reading program being carried out in the senior Englsh classes, Dot read more and better books than anyone else, so it seems that she is fond of read- mg. Ice skating is the sport she likes best and being a loyal Woodwardite blue is her color. Those of you who know her needn't be told that she has a fine sense of hu' mor, and anyone who hasn't met her should, 'cause there's never a gloomy moment when sheis around. When asked about food Dot acknow- ledged that she' d rather eat olives than anything else. In closing Dorothy had this to say about the Coed-Prom, Our other proms have all been very successful, we hope this one will be be no exception. Refugees, Soldiers, Sailors Aided By Junior Red Cross With the thousands who are unself- ishly aiding the suffering both here and abroad, Woodward's Junior Red Cross has taken its place. Refugees were made more comfortable by woolen shirts, soldiers at Chillicothe, residents of the Old Folks' Home, and the Adams Street Mission hada brighter Christmas be- cause of 250 favors. Fifty-five cribbage boards will help keep the score for sick sailors at Norfolk, Virginia. People in bomb shelters are warmer with knitted afghans. Scrap books and toys are be- ing furnished Toledo children. These American Passport, the firstWood- ward three-act drama starring both faculty aud students, will be presented Thursday and Friday, March 6 and 7, at 8:15 in the school auditorium. Paul Lankenau, as Ed Hamilton, a typical American father, Lois Anne Ley as the spoiled twelve-year-old Louella, and Miss Helen Marie Griffin, as the fiighty Mrs. Hamilton, will portray the principal roles. Other participants in the play are Marilyn Schoonmaker, as Judy, the older daughter who, with her brother Dick, played by Kenneth Zim- merman, is strongly influenced by the Communistic movement, Irene Kolinski as Sybil, the girl in love with Dick, Ralph Bissonnette as Bill Wilson, in love with Judy, Miss Gertrude Kanney as Aunt Jen, Mrs. Isla Van Vranken as a crabby neighbor, Mrs. Schwartz, and Watson Welever as Mr. Craig, Ed Hamilton,s employer. The plot has to do with the affect of Socialism on both Judy and Dick. They conform to all its principles at the cost and almost loss of their friends. Real- izing the value of Americanism, Ed Hamilton, their father, successfully attempts to convert them back to the more advantageous American way of life. Through his various endeavors in doing this, Mr. Hamilton attains the nominee for governorship. A double potion of love interest is supplied, first, by Irene Kolinski as Sybil and Kenneth Zimmerman as Dick, whose love scense proved plenty em- barrassing at rehearsal, second, Marilyn Schoonmaker as Judy and Ralph Biss- onnette as Bill, who finds time to kiss in the first act.

Participate In Spring Sports OW THAT the sweet scent of spring is once more in the air, spring sports will again come into prominence in the high schools of Toledo. If every boy in Woodward, who thinks he can run, jump, catch, pitch, play tennis, shoot under 90 on the links, etc., were to come out and at least try to make a team, we would have the best teams in ten states and fifteen counties, or at least in North- western Ohio. Just carry this thought in mind for a couple of weeks and when the coaches put out their call, turn out!! American Passport, An Inspiration MERICAN youth today is taking his democracy for granted. You have seen and heard that statement many times from your parents, relatives and friends. Yet, that probably is precisely what the youth today is doing. There are examples of it everywhere. A very good one is in American Passport. The situation is one of a brother and sister of college age who turn away from Americanism because they have allowed themselves to be iniiuenced by a radical group. These youths were of college age, but that does not mean that high school students are not taking their democracy for granted---some are! The high school age, I4-18, is the time when every boy and girl is formulating his ideas, both political and social. At this time, we are susceptible to so- called lines from persons who boast of a govern- ment better than ours. This is the time When we should say to ourselves, I know what democracy has done for America. I know what it has accom- plished and will accomplish. And I know, because I read and hear facts about other forms of govern- ment, that their liberties are in no way approach- able to ours. I shall choose the American form of government. It is up to you, individually, t o make your choice. Weigh the facts and see if you don't choose the present form of government. Work So You Won't Repent HERE IS LITTLE to be said, but much remains to be done. This of course a p p l i e s to those familiar lto some of youj unsatisfactories which will soon be filling the pockets of a certain number of Woodward students. As every one knows, these precious slips are the method your humble pedagogue has of stating his or her grievances against your work or department. And, sad is the case, these are devised solely for the parents of such pupils and always reach their destination. True, it is a bit late to do anything about the un- sats for this period, but it is inevitable within the same period of time, next quarter, smiliar slips will make themselves visible. It doesn't take a genius to escape the net, but only work done to a fair degree of your ability. When your work begins to slip, be it. spring fe- ver or a similar disease, just think of the poor PRINCIPAL Po1N'1is if QHERE AND THERE I On February 21 and 22 a representa- tion of the Private Liberal Arts Col- , leges that train teachers for work in f the public schools met in Toledo. Sever- , al of us who are connected with the Toledo Public .School System as super- Q visors or administrators attend these L sessions. One panel dis cu s sio n which I at- tended was very interesting. Nearly all the time of one of its meetings was given over to the subject of democracy and how teachers maybe best trained to teach it. As the discussion developed it seemed to take the trend that there should be more par- ticipation of the student teacher both as an indi- vidual and in co-operative groups in working out his training program. Such teachers it was argued would be the most likely to approach their teach- ing jobs on a democratic rather than on an auto- cratic basis. In conferences of this kind it is very rarely that groups come to definite conclusions that are agree- able to all and in this case a lack of time stopped the discussion. My after-thought is we should not become hysterical when we are constantly putting the benefits of democracy against those of dictator- ship. 'Foo often we become so heated that we fail to give the Devil his dues. If we wish to be reason- able we should always do this. Let's remember that a democracy cannot run it- self. We must choose certain persons to attend to the administrative details and when we set up such officers we must necessarily allow them a reason- able amount of authority to carry on their work. It would be absurd to think of a manufacturing plant without a boss and many foremen under him who have s great deal of authority. A school must have a head and assistants to help carry out the policies of the local administration as wellas those of the state and nation. This may to our fevered imaginations smack of dictatorship, but the other extreme is anarchy. I still believe thatyoung people need the wise and firm direction of older people not only through high school but in college as well. 6655? Some Stuff When I regained consciousness after getting a knock on the head, I found myself wandering a thousand miles from nowhere, my hair ribbon my only sail No sign of good old Woodward anywhere,but wait there are Diana Matheys and Lowell Baker strolling hand in hand. Guess I ain't got a ghost ofa chance with him as long as she's around. Here comes Carl Breske, that medium height, blond, and handsome lad who seems to think that Elizabeth Evans is simply wonderful. Glen Williams is trying to catch up with some- body. I'll run too to see who she is. Well golly I should have known. It's that cute little trick,Stella Smolinski. Here comes another handsome lad, Richard Bre- bany. Oh why, why, why wont he give me a break. iNot only me, plenty of other girls are saying the same thing.D Well he didn't say hello so Ifm going into a cor- ner to cry my eyes out. Say---this corner looks familiar---it is!! Guess I was dropped into good old Woodward and not into the Never Never Lands. What's In A Name? Emerging from a year's hermitage to discover the names, and the usefulness of them, I hereby disclose my knowledge to you. Through this long research I have successfully completed these. The monicker David defines itself as beloved. This is true of David Wynn who is beloved by all the soph femmes, of course. Ethel, then, means noble, and who more closely fits this description than, Ethel Nottage? Florence La Plant can apply to her meaning, wise. Sagacious, that's her! Down to Joyce,we ind that her name means joy- ous such as Joyce Henley. Paul, little. Certainly not Paul Holewinski? Regina reigns as queen. IvVell, anyway, Miss Hartz can dream, can't she? Robertis one bright in fame, for example,Robert L. Ripley or even Robert Black can compare. Beauty, as that of Ruth. Ruth Schiedler, no doubt. It seems to run in the family.

Dave Kornowa, flashy Bear forward, gave the Polar Bears their sendoli' by hitting a fielder from far-out. The Woodward ace seemed to have found the weak spot of the Irish zone-defense for he didn't stop at this point, but urinckled the lacing six consecutive times. He led the Bears in scoring with 16 markers. Norm Przybysz, Woodward shooting pivot-man, wasn't hitting, how- ever, he managed 9 points and flanked the Bears passing attack. ' Woodward gathered an early lead which the Irish never threatened, lead- ing 11-5 at the first rest, 17-10 at the intermission and 29-18 at the end of the third stanza. The Bears outshot Central from both the free-throw line and the field. Mcguillen topped the Irish scoring with 5 buckets and four free-throws for 14 points. I rish Reseive Squad Defeats Woodward Lightweight 31-2 1 The fast Irish reserve squad defeated the strong Polar Bear lightweight team, 31-21, in an exciting battle last Friday night. Led by Chuck Tucker, center, with four field goals, eight point total, the Bears put up a hard fight to get a lead on the Central team but failed. Jacobs and Danner of Central led the scoring honors with 13 and 12 points, respectively. The scoring for Woodward was as fol- lows: Sheline, 1 pointy Holowinski, 1 point, Golembewski, 2 charity tossesg Whityger, 3 pointsg Brent, 4 points, and McKinley, 2 points. Tonight they will encounter the re- serves from Burnham High School on the opponents lioor. Bowlereltes, Four Hits And A Miss Tied For First Place Four Hits and a Miss and the Bowl erettes are tied for first place in the bowling tou nament, with five wins and one loss. Blue Cadets are in last place without a victory and six defeats. Virginia Mickel led the Gutter Rats with a 117 average and Kate Kapanicus led the Alley Cats with the same ave- rage. The high averages of the remain- ing teams are as follows: Four Hits and A Miss, Genevive Marosg with 112, Wi- zards, Eileen Kibbey with 1059 All Stars, E s t h e r Bloom with 1023 Bowlerettes, Alma K u k a w i n s ki with 1023 Keg-O- Rettes, Ruth Shasteen with 101, Gutter Rats, Emma Koscis with 1005 Pin Heads, June Keil with 93, and Blue Cadets, Peggy Madja with 85. Intra-Mural Results The intra-mural games won in the preceding weeks are as follows: Wednesday, February 12, Black Angels and Wizards February 19, Black Angels and Wild. Cats participate in the oncoming season of tennis, track, baseball and golf. S IF i The Ottawa Hills Cagers, possesors 0 f a 13-game winning streak, w e r e roughtly dumped from the statis unde- feated list, when an inspired Maumee quintet defeated them, 41-29. D a v e Thompson, Hill's forward, had a rather slow evening as he tallied but 9 points. DeVilbissls 41-30 discision over the league leading Libbey Cagers was their second victory of the season over the South Side Crew. The Cowboy reserves hung up their 21st straight win, as they bested the Tiger reserves, 23-18. S I U Dave Kornowa, Bear forward, set the pace in the Central-Bear fray, as he dumped in eight field goals in as many tries. Kornowa's 16 points came on long shorts, and depicted the deadly accura- cy displayed bv the Bear quintet in this syle of play. In View of the improved brand ofball that the Hanharn cagers have shown in their last few games, Woodward may figure as a definite threat in the Northwestern Ohio Basketball Meet, to be held in the T.U. Heldhouse at the close of the season. SK FF 'F Mitch Sahadi, ex-Bear guard, officially dropped from the register of the cur- rent basketball team. Mitch has starred in various sports during his four years at Woodward, and it is with due regret that we see him drop from this sport so close to the season's end. Grade School Foul Shooting Is Saturday, March First March first has been selected as the date for the grade school foul shooting contest. All boys from the grade schools in the Woodward district will be given the opportunity to participate in the contest. The ten winners will receive ribbon awards. The three highest among the ten will receive a season's football pass. The boys will have strong competi- tion in Bob Harrison from Lagrange school. Bob is a world record holder. In one basketball game, consisting of six minute quarters, Bob banged out 169 points. No other man on his team grabbed any points. The opposing team garnered only eight points. Federation Teams Woodward's frosh team did not par- ticioate in any Federation games played last week. Last Monday the Federation teams battled at Waite High School. but Woodward's :freshmen team did not see action. Frosh Defeated The Central Freshman cinched the championship and put the Woodward Cubs in second place as they pounded out a 20-16 decision over the Bear Frosh last Friday. Captain Jim Knieriem, of Woodward, led the scoring with 6 points which helped greatly in Woodward's pull up to the Irish in the third quarter. After ' Central cager ace, 664. Kerwin, however. grabbed high singles honors for the day with a rising second ga me of 234. Kerwin's other scores of 162, 183, ranked him second, 579. McNitt fell short of break- ing the 500 mark by a scant 21 pins, his individuals being 144, 149, 178. Despite these high scores, the Nats beat out the Tigers by only 19 pins on the team totals. Captain Feltman, American league, led his mates in scoring with games of 185. 144, 199, for a total of 528. Falling only five pins short of 500, Marok placed third with 495, results of 177, 163 155. Zielaskowski bested Marok by two pins to land in the tl' ird position, 166, 185, 146--- 497. The Amerks handed Scott one of the worst drubbings ofthe season. In the first and second gamesyrhe Bull- dogs were dv fea ted by almost 100 points each game while in the final canto they were licked by better than 100 pins.

Ohio to tussle with the Burnham High School quintet tonight. Game time is set at 8 p. m. The opponents have been defeated only a few times and their team is made up of veteran players from last year. This will be a unique game in that the contest is played on the stage of the auditorium and the audience sits in the upriser seats. If the Bears run on smooth silk as they did against Waite and Central, the North Enders will arrive home the vic- tors of this match. The Bears big worry is Allen, center, on the Burnham team. l KAPERS BY KATE Prying into freshman affairs, we find several unusual nicknames. hobbies, and birthplaces. ll I 'S Evelyn Bofinski is often called Ber gang Ada Dusseau, Frenchyg Mar' garet Botzenhart, Pigtailsg Helen Duenki, Dinkg Geralding Barnet is dubbed Effie Mae, and Bernice Ban- croft is known as Bems.

Clear the road ahead, as the career of Vic Bukowski, future champ of the world, is at the high point ofhis prime. Wohler-Clark Team Emerge Victors In Handball Match Teacher's handball townaments are not being played quite so often because some members of the team are busy working on the American Passport. One game was played last week between the two teams of Harry Wohler-L.C. Clark and Leo Robie-Wilson Weis. In a very hard-fought battle Wohler and Clark emerged the victors. They won two games out of three, Robie and Weis grabbing the last game. The tournament was sensationally played. Every point that was gained had to be strenuously fought for. Apologies to Watson Welever for ommitting his name from the guest column which he wrote.

Similar sprigs were recently given to Mrs. Opal Barley, Mrs. Betty Brinker- hoff, and Miss Eleanor Kowalski. Latest twosome around Woodward is Jimmy Davis, sophomore class presi- dent, and Marie Holmes. a a a Overheard: Miss Dorothy Pasch saying that C. C. LaRue was the first person in her experience who said that he would do something and then went through with it. First step to wedding nuptials have been taken by Betty Frost, senior, and Robert Dymond, a member of the United States Navy, who announced their en- gagement recently. ' l O Robert Rabbitt has joined the Navy. His brother, James, is stationed in Hawaii. I I I That defence record Monday was re- lief to those students who didn't do their home work over the week-end.

With a great admiration for the art of dramatics and its personalities, Miss Warner confided that her favorite actresses were H e l e n Hay e s and Katherine Cornell. She also attends all the New York hits held at the Paramount theatre. Her passion is eating---chocolate. In fact, the very afternoon she was inter- viewed she offered me a chocolate pep- ermint. And, of course, I did not refuse for who am I to turn down candy. While on the subject of food, she related that her hobby is cooking. A very special friend of hers is Pris- cilla, her automobile. She has affection- ately nicknamed her car that because she likes it. The director also likes music, bridge, Fibber McGee and Infor- mation Please. Miss Warner graduated from Hills- dale University, Hillsdale, Michigan. She is now taking post graduate work at Toledo University. She is also adviser of Woodwardts dramatic organization, the Playshop. Gene Krupa's Tom-Tom Beat J ives Woodward Hep-Cats When Gene Krupa beat his drums at the Trianon last Thursday, Feb. 20, Woodward s t u d e n ts turned out en masse. Mardy Schoonmaker and Nolan Ryan glided along to the tom-tom ar- rangement of' Perfidia. Irene Kolinski and Bob Martin were seen watching the band b e a t out Irish Washer- woman' and Dorothy Krajewski, Ray Saba, Florence Bochenek, a n d Jim Hoffman sipped cokes on the sidelines.

BENEFITS DERIVED FROM LANGUAGES By Miss Anne Wetterman The study of any foreign language, be it German, French, Spanish, or Polish, must be respected as a serious and intelectual discipline. The ability to understand spoken Spanish, and to express oneself intelligibly in the for- eign tongue gives a feeling of accomp- lishment and self-confidence, forming an inducement to pursue more eagerly the study of other subjects. Many are the benefits derived from the study of a foreign language, one of the greatest of them, however, is that of a better understanding of, and a greater appreciation for English.Fur- thermore, the commercial relations be- tween North and South America hav- ing grown so rapidly for the last twen- years, it is absolutely necessary for our high school students to acquire a sound knowledge of Spanish. Spanish has become a commercial language. The typist and stenographer who can also boast of being able to write and read in Spanish, has a very much brighter outlook in the husiness world, from a social viewpoint as well as from a financial one. And to those who are choosing professional careers, Spanish, by the way, a direct derivation from Latin, is certainly indispensable on account of its musical and cultural beauty, its rich treasures of literature, art, and its interesting history. All of this is studied in the Spanish department at Woodward besides mak- ing the students acquainted with the customs and manners of living of Spanish-speaking people. The study of Spanish, rightly appreci- ated and taken advantage of by the students, is sure to furnish them one more valuable tool in their equipment for life. Sevnteenth Annual Ford Trip Planned By Engineers The seventeenth annual trip to the Ford River Rouge plant and Green- field Village, sponsored by the Engineer- ing Society, will be Thursday, April 3. An expected group of 200 boys will make the trip via Community Traction buses leaving the front of the school at approximately 8:15 A. M. Arriving at the village about 9:30, they will be divid- ed into two groups to inspect the museumland village at alternate periods. Assembling at the buses the boys will journey to the Rotunda where Mr. Ford has models of all his latest cars on display. At 1:15 they will enter the Ford Office Building to dine in the company cafe- teria amidst Ford executives. The afternoon will be spent touring the River Rouge plant to witness the manufacturing of an automobile from iron ore and raw materials to the fin- ished model driving off the assembly line. They will arrive in Toledo and Wood- ward at about 5:30. Boys interested are to see W.F. Rohr in room 329 for particulars and reser- vatlons. LE CEROLE FRANCAIS WAS FOUNDED IN 1920 BY MISS MAY, THE FIRST ADVISER Since the Tattler is endeavoring to give the history of all clubs in Wood- ward, this week the French Club was selected. The club was founded in the year 1920 back in old Woodward High School by Miss May and later taken over by Mrs. Margaret Beardsley. Le Cercle Francais was chosen as its name. The purpose for which the institution was created was to promote the study of French literature and to aid the student speech in the language.

Anyone who saw this game will agree with me that when members of our dignified faculty with an equal number of students engage in a good, wholesome display of athletic ability, it is a rare sight. Certainly this form of entertainment is more enjoyable and educational than movies and I'rn hoping that a similar game will be played in the very near future. Hopeful Hattie. Dear Editor, lthink the Tattler is a very well organized paper, but I do have one complaint about it. That is, Why can't we have more pictures in it? Yes, we do have cuts of the faces of teachers and basketball or football players but why can't we have other pictures of the students around school. Pictures of dances, games, lunch-hour, and oh, many others. The other school papers do and I think it would draw the in- terest of the major part of the student body. Can't something be done? AB I agree with your reasons for having cuts in the paper. They certainly would give that extra something that the paper needs. But the fact is the Tattler Fund is so limited that the staff is un- able to buy cuts.The Tattler is sold for one cent and because the cost is so small there is little or no money left for cuts after the bills for paper and other essentials are deducted. True, other school newspapers have cuts but, then to they solicit for adver- tisements from businessmen. The money made by this method is then used for cuts. The Tattler is unable to do this because we have no advertising in our paper. I know it is unfortunate but I'm - v Constantly, Consistently Constructive L PASSPORT .

LOIS ANN LEY HAS VARIED INTERESTS Freshman Portrays P a r t Of Lovella In American Passport No, I don't think I'll have stage fright, emphatically remarked Lois Ann Ley, the twelve-year-old fshe's really fourteenj Lovella of American Passport. Portraying a spoiled youngster on the stage, Lois, oil'-stage, is exactly the opposite of her role. She describes play as lots a' fun and believes that with Miss Dorothy Warner behind it, the play will be a success. Her hobbies, many and varied, include: collecting odd pins, going shop- ping, swimming, bicycling, roller- skating, dancing, maroon ice-cream, hash, and cream-pie. But on the subject of sea-food, Miss Ley absolutely refused to talk. This Lagrange-graduated fresh- men belongs to the Fasces Club and the G.A.L. As to teacher, her favorites inolude all those whom she has ever had and known. Tired Girl Writes Of Ordeal Endured In Six Weeks Class My dancing class which I have had for six weeks has finally ended. I'm so glad. For I fear that I never was Born To Dance. Oh, I remember so clearly the lessons given to me by Miss Cather- ine Mc Clure. Everybody else got the step but me. I certainly was terrible. In fact, I was overheard one day saying, I still don't know what grand right and left means. And much to my sur- prise, a voice popped up behind me and bellowed, If you don't know how now, you had better learn. I'm sorry I can't reveal the name, but l'm sure you can all take a guess. Or can you? That is just one sample of my awk- wardness. There were many more, some not as bad but others far worse, Is there not wonder I'm a terrible danc- er? As I've said before, it just isn't in me. School To Have Assistance In Attendance Department Woodward is the first school in the city to have clerical assistance in the attendance department. For this pur- pose, Mrs. Florence McFerren, former member of the office staff, has returned after a year's leave of absence. Mrs. McFerren will be in charge of all clerical records and reports of the attendance department in order to give Miss Amie Miller and Mr. Meek more time for advising and consultation. Mrs. McFerren g r a d u a t e d from Woodward in 1934 and has been a member of the office force for six years. FOUNDING OF WOODWARD'S SPANISH ORGANIZATION IN 1923 IS RECALLED La Junita Castellana, Spanish Club of Woodward, founded in 1923 by Mrs. H. Benedict, has endeavored to wield a cultural and intellectual atmosphere in Woodward's realm. The pictures in Mr. LaRue's oflice, in the auditorium, in the corridors, in rooms 124 and 118 and the trophy case, bear witness to the fine efforts of the Spanish Club throughout it's eighteen years of existence. Woodward was the first high school in Toledo to present Spanish plays to enthusiastic audiences. The spring cere- mony of Los Juegos Florales, where ,n.t..had.-n nlnnnnn tn Latin, French, Spanish, Polish, German, English and Pan-American programs, was anoutgrowth of Spanish classroom work. Members of the Spanish Club con- tributed a large sum toward the first moving picture machine in Woodward. Members of the faculty are entertained with a tea. The Spanish Club as a whole has been a great asset to Woodward and the surrounding community, through it's simple actions of kindness. Acting club oflicers at the present are: David McNitt, president, Estelle Parlos, vice president, Jacqueline Bartollett, npnretnrv. Rettv Bridges. Treasurer.

Perhaps to the more observing of you this has been a con- stant source of curiosity. It has been to me for three years so I will tell you the facts as they were told to me. At various times during the day when Mr. LaRue, Mr. Atkinson,the engineer, and Mr. Bedford, are wanted, and their where-abouts are uncertain, a system of gongs has been devised. Anyone de- siring either of these three men, dials a certain number on the telephone which immediately rings these chimes twice, three, or four times as the case may be. Two rings notifies Mr. Atkin- son that he is wanted: three rings, Mr. LaRue: and four rings, Mr. Bedford. Then they merely have to walk to the nearest telephone and communicate with the party ca llin g. During the spring, six rings are used by the engin- eer to notify that all heat throughout the building will be shut down. The outlet for these gongs is located in the center of the hall, right above the class bell. Wonderful Time Had By All At Co-ed Prom Last Friday Amidst Clarabelle Cow, Little Hia- watha, Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse appeared throngs of Woodwardites gayly dancing to the music of Lord Mar- tin's Collegians at the Coed Prom last Friday night. While Chuck Kasten fselling popl tried vainly to keep his feet from shuf- iiing until the proper time Q9:30J, Jane Searles and Jane Lecklider practiced jitterbug steps. Virginia Lobet's face beamed with joy when in walked Bob Mund. Evelyn Cooley about fainted when her two true loves, Ed Domanski and Chuck Bolton, walked in together. This unique dance was sponsored by the French Club. George Rohrer iwe're angry because we didn't see him conga l is adviser.

Celebrities Seen By Instructor The call of vacation resorts seems to be heard in every wintry corner of Woodward. The seccnd visitor to the land of the summer sun, namely Atlna- tic City, was Miss Dorothy Pasch English teacher. Miss Pasch departed on Saturday morning, February 22, for two conven- tions---American Association of School Administrators and National, Educa- tion Assoaiation whose topic was Na- tional Defense. After securing a room at Shelbourne Hotel on the Boardwalk, she attended a meeting of the National Committee for Induction to Citizenship. But her most pleasant and enjoyable experience was at the Exhibitors' Ball in the convention hall where she heard Gladys Swarthout, Metripolitan Opera star, who was simply wonderful, Milton Cross, the radio announcer, the Quiz Kids and the National Broadcast- ing Orchestra which played for dancing later. 'The first day was icy cold but it warmed up quite a bit before I left, said Miss Pasch. The sand on the beach was packed down so hard that many equestrians were horseback riding. E. L. Bowsher, superintendent o f schools in Toledo, David Patten super- intendent of Toledo elementary schools, Miss Ruth Sanger, city director of the home economics department, R a lp h Dugdale, superintendent of schools in Portland, Oregon, and former Toledo school superintendent, Miss Vera Hen- ning, principal of Old Orchard, and Miss Catherine Norton, principal of West- field, also attended.

Cleaner building during lunch hours. Attend American Passport Tonignt ONIGHT IS THE final performance of Amer- ican Passportf' Its presentation has given to Woodward two distinct contributions. Not only will its profit enable the school to make additional payment on the sound system but it gave to the students working in it an opportunity to know better the teachers participating. Those students in the play will have a better understanding of a teacher. They will learn to know that a teacher is, above everything else, a human being. And they will further realize that since teachers are human beings they are susceptible to the joys and sorrows of life. That's the grand thing about it. It has tightened the bond between the teacher and student for one common good--the understanding between student and teacher. American Passport can now be evaluated in more than a monetary sense. Let's have more of them. Whispering Annoys Others HISPERING is annoying anywhere. Especial- ly has it been irritating at the sings which were held for the four classes. This shouldn't be. Just because there is a few moments between the songs, it gives no one the privilege to use the time for whispering. Unfortunately this practice does not happen only at the sings. It is prevalent at every mass meeting, lecture, or assembly that is held in the auditorium. As yet there has been no remedy for this trouble- some habit. Teachers have been placed on audi- torium duty, but this has given us no permanent solution. It is now up to the students, collectively, to act. This whispering must be stopped. Let's all cooper- ate and see if we can have quiet audiences in the auditorium. Hall Of Fame HO IS GOING to come back Saturday morning and clean up after the dance? Yes, this is a question that is often asked but seldom voluntarily answered. So to those students who are willing to help clean up after the fun, to those willing workers and indispensable club members we open wide the doors of the Hall of Fame and dust off the best seat.You of this minority are certainly to be congratulated. And to the Hall of Oblivion we nominate those slackers who promise to come back and help clean up and then, after they are counted on, think up If you kids were obedient and did as Papa LaRue bade, you saw the American Passport last ever and so you're free to attend the Scott game tonight.

Three Wishes Had I While dying along an endless corridor on my magic carpet, I looked over the fringe, down, down, way down, to the glossy heads of pupils parading around and around. Summoning my genie, Bob McKinley, from the small flask into which he had disappeared, I bade him give me three wishes. Be- ing a wonderful jester, he quipped, make it dishes and I'll see you bank night. But my command had to be obeyed so he whisked merrily away to where Jackie Smith and Betty Richardson were at play. After asking what they would have him do, Bob was sent to supply Lois Emery with comic books which Narie Ignatowski quickly snatched away, exclaiming thereby, This is an institution of in- telligence, not an institution. By the simple process of subtraction, I now had two wishes left. Not wishing to waste wishes, I called upon Milton Mann to assist me. I-Ie immedi- ately used one for his personal benefit and asked Ruth Streight to accompany him on an African expedition to make another now happy, steady- going lassie jealous. Stumbling over Leo Nalodka lying prostarte in the arms of a chair, I gently socked and awakened him. He tearfully demanded an explanation and I gave him my last wish for compensation.Promptly I found myself in Alaska, where, to my shivering woe, his wish had transported me. fBrrrr, I haven't thawed out yetlj Posies To gals, and gals alone. Ah brings you'all a message. Yo'all got some posies from you beau fer that there dance didn't cha?

Scott like Woodward is steadily im- proving toward the end of the year. The Bulldogs draw an advantage hav- ing the game played on their home fioor. Scott trounced Macomber last Fri- day night to the tune of 34 to 26. Small Lefty Kander will be the Bears big headache in the game. This little player is in Scott's bid for city scoring honors. The Bulldogs will prob- ably use a man-to-man defense in this encounter. Jake Przybysz will cause the Bull- dogs no end of worry with his unfailing accuracy around the bucket. Dave Kor- nowa will add his share to the score- board. The probable lineup will be Koster and Bialecki, guards, Kornowa and Przybysz, forwards, and Konz at the pivot posts. Freshmen Boys Participate In New Type Line Basketball All freshmen boys in the gym classes are playing line basketball. Thirty boys participate. Five boys from each team are on the court. They play a regular game of basketball using the whole fioor. Along each side of the court, ten boys stand in aline, five boys from each team. A boy from one team is always in between two boys from the other team so that no two boys from one team are together. The game is played until one team scores a point. Then the ten boys in action go off the door and the ten boys standing along the side go on the fioor and continue the game. When another point is made those boys go off the filoor and the boys on the other side play and the boys, standing along the side, change sides. In this way all thir- ty boys can participate in one basket- ball game. Burnham Reserves Beaten By Woodward Seconds 32-12 The Woodward lightweights defeated Burnham by an overwhelming score of 32-12. Led by Lee Tucker, the reserves led 8 to 3 at the quarter and the half time found the Bears leading by a 17-7 mar- gin. Holding the Sylvania reserves to 5 points in the third quarter to lead 24 to 12, the Bears managed 6 points in the final period to make the final score of 32 to 12. Bob Brent was second in scoring with 9 points, Bill Getz, third with 8 points, followed by Sloan and Earle with 3 each, Ransome with 2, and Weidinger and McKinley, 1 each. Clay Frosh Squad Beaten By Woodward Cubs 22-13 Avenging the defeat suffered at the hands ofClay, the Woodward Fresh- men closed their most successful season in many years by knocking off the Clay Squad 22-13. With the scores knotted at 8 all, at the half, the Baby Cubs went along much as they pleased with Long getting 12 points, Payah 4, and Captain Knierem, DuPont, and Klein 2 all. Earlier in the week the Frosh second string smothered Temperance Varsity 13-3 and again Long and Weaver were high with 4 points apiece. Woodward is pinning their hopes:for a 1943-44 championship team on Ken Ramer, Jack Eaton, Leo Kubrac, Walter Bonkowske, and those mentioned above to develop into the material needed for Art. Art has been athletic instructor at Woodward ever since the new build- ing was erected, thirteen years, and likes his work very much. He totes around 200 lbs. of flesh and muscle on a 5 ft. 11 in. frame. Art was born in Grand Rapids, Mich- igan, and attended Central High School there. He attained a Bachelor of Science Degree at M i c h i g a n State Normal College in Ypsilanti, Michigan. During his summer vacations, he has been at- tending the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and this summer he expects to obtain a Masters Degree there. His hobby is officiating football and basketball games and he likes fishing quite well. If you'd like to get his favor just invite him home to di n n e r and serve him roast beef and mashed po- tatoes with good brown gravy. Mr. Smith is a happily married man and has adaughter ten years old. She attends Glenwood school. Score Guessing Honors Go To Another Freshman Girl Score guessing honors this week go to none other than Lois Ann Ley, fresh- man, who came very close to guessing the final score of that thrilling game between Sylvania and Woodward. For her brilliant achievement she will re- ceive a little chunk of cardboard which will entitle her to attend the Bulldog-- Polar Bear tilt tonight, which should be another humdinger. This was the last bit of score guessing for this year and I hope everyone is happy. So long for a while. .i...1ii- Faculty Handball Two faculty handball tournaments were played last week.

This game was the Rocket's last home stand of the year and hon- ored the two graduating members of the squad, Captain Marshall Carlson and Al Hosfeld. However, Gerber's sen- sational scoring feat stole the show as he slipped away for 35 points to bring his years' total 15 points short of 400. o n o WoodWard's 31-29 victory over Syl- vania came in double overtime with Przybysz tallying the winning goal.

By a varsity member NATIONALS SWAMP IRISH PINSTERSQ AMERKS WIN GAMES OVER HILLS Again Woodward's bid for city scho- lastic bowling honors was not stinted when the Nats swamped the high-rid- ing Irish and American pinsters clipped the wings of Ottawa Hills. National leaguers bowled with only four men and still downed Central a ll three games. The Amerks, using six men, in- flected worse punishment on the Hill's quintet by besting them on the average more then 100 pins a game. Beating their opponents by a total of 309 pins, American bowlers jumped into second place to really threaten the league leaders. Kerwin, with singles of 158,182, 191, hit the highest total---531. Close behind him in second was a com- paratively new bowler, M a n a g h a n, whose games 172, 170, 178 garnered him 520. McNitt ranked third, falling just 20 pins short of the 500 mark with indi- viduals of 146, 163, 171. If the Amerks win three tomorrow morning they should either land in first place or tie If-H -C---+ . ,AY Y The Nationals took three close ones from Central, never beating them by more than 40 pins. Zielaskowski was high individual and single bowler with 180, 193, 209, giving him a total of 582. Chapman ranked second, 155, 187, 202-- 544, while Feltman broke through with 176, 185, 172--533.

Norm Przybysz, Woodward's bidder for individual scoring honors in the city, went on a scoring rempage, even though several Sylvania players rode his back on every shot. H o w e v e r, Norm's free throw eye was as good as ever and he laid up ten charity tosses. The P ol a r B e a r s shooting wizard banged five fielders to run his total, for the night, to 20 points. Woodward built an early lead with Dave Kornowa, hitting from his favorite spot just beyond the K e y h ole. The Sylvanian's however, were also hitting from far-out and cut the Bears halftime lead to 17-15. The second halffound both teams playing better defensive ball. Although P r z y b y s z was continually drawing free throws. The game ended at 27-27 deadlock. Przybysz. was again the hero, when he pulled an underhand shot out of the fire which four B u r n h a m players couldn't block, to save the Bears in the first overtime. With the score still tied the teams went into a second overtime to be d e c i de d with a sudden-death finish. It was again Przybysz who let fiy his invincible fade away shot to give the Bears their victory. Dave Kornowa was runner-up scorer for Woodward with seven counters. Foul Goal Shooting Replaces Old Intra-Mural Schedules A new phase in the intra-mural schedule is now taking place, that of the foul and goal shooting contests among the independent teams. Led by the mob representing the Machine Shop with 14 fouls and 37 goals the teams opened their schedule. Polar Bears were second with 9 fouls and 36 goals, followed by the Gridders with 33 goals and 9 fouls. The Mechan- ics were in the cellar after Erst nights competition with 28 goals and 8 fouls. Other teams that are to participate are the Polish Lits, Triangles, Rene, and the Print Shop boys. Eighty-Five Boys Take Part In Foul Shooting Contest The grade school foul shooting con- test held last Saturday, March 1, saw eighty-five boys in action from many schools. The ten winners were: Paul Seymour from Sherman who grabbed 24 out of 40 points to reach first place. He has a brother on Woodward's varsity basketball team.

Due to the absence of Mrs. Leona Leonhardt, piano player for the danc- ing-classes, the' Student Council re- Dear Editor: Abrand new problem has risen in the activities of Woodward's student body, concerning the organization of clubs. Several persons seem to think that clubs are not beneficial to the pupils or to the school itself. They do not wish to take part in the social gatherings which the clubs sponsor. Surely some enjoyment is desired along with the daily school work- and both profitable and educational amuse- ment is provided at the club meetings. If clubs were discontinued, we could no longer participate in extracurricu- lar a c t i vi t ie s. Every Woodwardite should endeavor to build up his club so that this new problem may be for gotten. I O U - Dear Editor, I want to commend the Student Council on their fine choice of movies during the last few weeks. The activity ticket's movie Knute Rockne, is something to look forward to and the recent noon movies well deserve a word of praise. I know I speak for many when I say that the pupils of Wood ward want and appreciate better edu- cational movies. Orchids to the Stu- dent Council and here's hoping that they keep up the good work. Yours for better movies! A Junior Dear Editor, For the first time at Woodward, We have had a community sing. Is there any reason why we can't have them more often? I noticed the students sitting around me, and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Even the few teachers that I saw, and our principal, Mr. La Rue, sang as loudly and cheerfully as we did. I think that Mr. Clark should be commended for the fine way in which he handled each large group. I, as a senior, vote that these gather- ings be held on specific dates, and I'm sure the majority of the students of Woodward all agree with me. A Senior Three Bowling Squads Tied For First Position In League Three bowling teams, the Bowlerettes, Four Hits and a Miss, and the Alley Cats, with six victorious games to their credit and two losses, are tied for first place. High scorers on eaoh team are Irene Pudlowski with an average of 102, May Van Klingeren, 1115 and Kate Kapanicas, 120. Following in second place are the Keg-o-rettes, All Stars, and Gutter Dusters with five wins and three loss- es. Jean Gertz, 1023 Esther Bloom, 1045 and Virginia Mickel, 118, are the high- averaging bowlers on these teams. Third place is held by the Wizards with three winning games and five losses, whose highest average is Eileen Kibbey's 104. Following are Pin Heads and Gutter Rats with two victories and six losses to their credit. High scorers are June Keil with 89, and Emma Koscis, with 106. In last place are the Blue Cadets with eight losses. Irene Petryk's score of 74 is their highest.

She is filling the vacancy left by the death of Miss Laura Adams. Born in Middletown. Ohio, she at- tended Miami University where she received her Bachelor of Science degree. Her long lists of likes include knitting and needle point, ice cream,and flower gardening, which she goes in for in a big way. She also likes ber work here at Woodward very much. Her spare time is spent at her Ham- mond organ on which she has taken lessons for about a year. Onions, in any shape or disguise, are her main horror. Although she came from Scott last semester, she was a personal friend of Miss Adams, and enjoys the three advance clothing classes which she now teaches. Of Woodward, Mrs. Bowyer said, It's a grand place, and I'm delighted to come back! Thanks For The Feast We want to publicly commend Miss Angela Abair and her girls for pre- paring such an appetizing meal for the cast of the American Passport last Tuesday. Mrs. Cecil Ashbrook also de- serves mention for baking that lovely birthday cake in honor of Lois Ann Ley's, Kenneth Zimmerman's and Miss Dorothy Warner's birthdays, which all come within a few days.

LECTURE DELIVERED BY REVEREN D HALEY The Reverend Richard Haley, pres-i dent of the Ohio Youth Temperance Council, spoke to juniors and seniors during the assembly period Wednesday, February 26, on temperance. He has spoken to over two million students in the last three years. Following are high lights from his speech. Whiskey is not a cake, a soft drink or a hard drink. It's dynamite! Twenty-five minutes after takinga drink,the alcohol has passed though the mouth and down the gullet, burn- ng' both, and passes into stomach irri- tating glands and dissolving the layers of fat surrounding the cells. After ex- cessive drinking, the glands dry up, becoming garbage cans for the wastes of the body. Ulcers also result from heavy drinking. I I I Liquor cuts down the energy and heat in the body and affects hearing and vision. 1 l U A narcotic is anything which inter feres with the continuous activity of the cells. ik ik 3 Reverend Haley, in a recent talk with Mickey Rooney, screen star, asked him what young people wanted the most, to which Mickey replied, To be popular, have personality and plenty of it!

IRISH SPRING FOOTBALL PRACTICE BEGINS Spring will soon be here and with its arrival sport enthusiasts throughout the land will make preparation for the summer. Balls and bats,tennis rackets, fishing rods, golf clubs, and numerous other types of paraphernalia will be dug out of attics and closets and put into shape. Although football is a fall sport, it also enters the picture at this time. Spring practice, while it lacks the fanfare of bands playing and crowds cheering, is a necessary part of the program. In spring practice new plays are tried and tested. Attempts are made to plug the gaps resulting from graduation, and a team is whipped into shape to repre sent the school on the gridiron in the fall. Practice will soon commence here at Woodward with better prospects for developing a team which will be a threat in the city race than we have had the past oouple of years. Captain Krell, Golembiewski, a n d Pierce will be the nucleus around which the backfield is expected to de- velop. High hopes are held for such newcomers as Cramer, Sloan, Wandtke, Kodorone, Ustaszewski, and Martin. Linemen returning from last year are the Burns twins in the guard position and Crosby and Frankowski at the tackle. Potrsybowski and Zychowisz are two new guard candidates. Kacymarek, Jagozinski, and Langton will try for a tackle position. Tucker, Hackett, Bu- cher, Miller, Wiesniewski and Hola- winski will compete for the end spot. Homasinski and Sanderson will at- tempt to hold down the center position, and at the latest report Berkle and Baker will be back to manage the team and heckle our opponents from the Sideline. It is almost impossible to make defi- nite predictions until the end of spring practice, but I will at least tell you what we expect. Next year's team will be much faster and just a little heavier than last year. We have more boys in the backfield that are able to punt, pass, and run and we hope a triple threat may develop to spark the squad. We expect to be more of an offensive team this next fall and unless some- thing unexpected happens to mar the picture we will he able to climb out of the cellar position in the city race. Technicolor Movie Shown To Classes Last Thursday Climbing a beautiful but hazardous mountain trail was part of last sum- mer's vacation program of Mrs. Isla yan Vranken, business English instruc- or. A technicolor movie account of a similiar trip made by a gr wup of Colo- rado University students, was shown by Mr. Clyde Van Tassel last Thursday. Sliding down steep inclines in a sitting position, zinc oxide face masks to pro- tect the skin, the attire of the climbers and treacherous heights were a few of the facts brought out in the film. Mrs. Van Vranken, who attended the movie with her classes, was able to call guides by name and give more details about scenes in the film. Display Case Come and dance to Johnny Burnet'sl orchestra?

Eager for the art world which was not provided, agroup of art-minded students formed this club, Mr. Rohr volunteering as adviser. No art department was provided, so their adviser permitted the use of room 327 for classes. They bought most of their own materials and went ahead without the instructions of an experi- nnnnfl l-nonl-mar Afhav 1-urn vnnva Kline and has been t e ac h e r and adviser since. I A professional model has been pos- ing at the meetings for charcoal draw- ings. The club plans to buy two more modern paintings for the halls. Each year the Klan sponsors the Klan Knight Klub at Gayety Nite, Star- dust, annual evening dance, and the Klan Klamor, a skate which will be held March 21. The. prsent officers are: D e l o r e s Downing, presidentg Don Ruff, Vice nv-an-iAa..+. Ui...-.:...:..

Johnny Burnett's orchestra will play. It has not been revealed by the de- coration committee how the gym will be decked out, but rumors impart that the color scheme will be the tra- ditional red, white, and blue. Emily Nowak and Helen Konieczny head the decoration committee, and they are assisted by Ethel Johnson, Helen Kan- orowski, and Betty Linker. As the name ofthe dance implies, the popular choice of wearing apparel is the typical skirt and sweater. Faculty, stu- dents, and escorts will obviously be having fun tonight from 8 to 11. Janet Wozny, publicity chairman, assisted Helen Szylak, Betsy Sarah Ethel Johnson, and Sarah Tzanakis. In charge of the orchestra are Lois Roth, Dolores Gorski, and Margaret S'chin dl e r.

Attend Skirt And Sweater Swing ONG YEARS ago high school students seen in anything but a long, cumbersome dress, and high buttoned shoes, or a starched shirt with high stiff collar had to hide their heads in shame. But Lincoln set the slave free, and fashion freed the student. Tonight we celebrate the emancipation in the second annual-skirt and Sweater Swing which is dedicated to the proposition that students have the right to dress comfortably. If you are a follower of freedom you will support the celebration. Hats off to the skirt and sweater! Close Of Another Season NOTHER basketball season has come to ainish in Woodward. Though not as successful as other years, the Bear quintet has shown all the spark and good sportsmanship that has grown to be a tradition in Woodward. To the senior members of the team fLeon Konz, Dick Koster, Norm Przybysz, Nolan Ryan, Don Bi- aleki, and Bob Mynederj we extend congratula- tions for the years of service they have contribut- ed. To the lower classmen on the squad we can only hope that they will do as well in future games as they have done this year. Yes, it's been a swell season. May there be many more of them at Woodward in the years to come. Hall Of Fame HIS WEEK, to the cherished seat in the Hall of Fame, we nominate those rare but valuable members of the student body who, upon en- countering the invariable debris and garbage littering the halls during certain hours of the day, pause long enough to pick up the undesired object and throw it in the nearby containers placed there for that express purpose. And to the Hall of Oblivion---that group of Woodwardites, a large number of freshmen among them, who merely kick the Hlth aside, and continue on their way, content in the thought that they are a good Woodward student, Musical Teacher Science teacher ..............

' 'The Latin In Me 2' 1 ' Y H511 - 34.4- fxll QL-,. il I M Last week the Honorable Theodore fff Broch, ex-mayor of Narvik, Norway, I W i spoke at one ofthe downtown luncheon clubs. Narvik is a small city situated in x ' is of X the northern part of Norway. It has a i f , :fi fine harbor and is the center of the Nor- , - 1 wegian iron ore industry. Less than one Q. 1 X vear ago this peaceful and prosperous city was invaded by the greedy gray from the south. The two hotels of the town became the headquarters for the oflicers of the enemy. By the use of paper money printed be- forehand in Germany the stores were looted and the inhabitants robbed. The mayor and ten other prom- inent citizens were held as hostages to keep .she townsmen from rebelling against their captors. All this was done, so their German enemies told them, to protect Norway from the imperialistic designs of England. To the great joy of all the good people of Narvik, the English attacked the German-held town and after violent 'dghting captured it, sinking thirty German vessels in the harbor. But just at this time France capitulated, the English forces were with- drawn and the Germans came in again to complete the ruination which they had begun. Major Broch finally escaped through Siberia and by way of Japan reached the United States. He has no particular mission here except to tell the truth about the treacherous, forceful occupation of a peaceful land by an unscrupulous dictator. His one striking observation about America is that we are so unconscious of our freedom that we do not appreciate it. Freedom said he, is just like the air we breathe, we do not appreciate it until it is taken away from us. As he said this his expres- sion became even more saddened than before and he concluded, I hope my country too will soon be free.

St. Patrick's Day Green means go! Your girl doesn't seem to think so, tho,' you fast rascal. But green not only means this. It also is worn in honor of St. Patrick, a snake- shooing Saint from Ole Erin. Everyone that's got a touch of Eire blarney in 'im should deck himself cut with said color to show that he remembers said Saint. After all where would the Irish be without him?

Black Out He was warm and comfortable, and being so, it was easy for him to feel sorry for the less fortu- nates of the world. He thought of all of the peo- ple in Europe who could not sleep that night. He wondered if he, himself, might sometime find him- self in a like position. lt was just such as thoughts like these were running through his head that he heard the noise. It was ominous, steady. It filled him with a wild maddening feeling when the realization of what it was dawned on him. He knew he could not remain in bed--he would have to leave the warm comfort for the chill of the night air. Another thing, he would have to leave the light off. If he turned it on now it would be disasterous. As he groped his way through the dark room, his knee came in sudden contact with a totally hidden chair. That did it, n o w he could turn the light on. He knew that now he was so awa ke that light, or no light, when he turned the water faucet oh' he wouldn't be ab le to go back to sleep.--Piedmont Higander. Chemistry? Dear Mr. Sta neart and so-called Chemistry students, Since I have been here, I have been taking all sorts of formulae. They call it medicine here. I thought you folks might be interested to know that I and my cell mate, I mean my room-mate, saved the hospital a great financial set back and scandal. By calling the attention of Doctor Killum- quick, the headsurgeon, to a mistake in the formula of a new medicine which was to be served as a tonic to all the patients, we saved the life of the majority of the people in the hospital. A person with a strong, healthy constitution may have lived after taking a dose of this tonic but strange as it may seem 99 per cent of the patients in the hospi- tal are ill! Of course this is to be kept quiet but I know this secret can be trusted with you. Well this is how it happened. In some odd way some As, with avalence of plus 3,Qfor those who didn't mem- orize their symbols As stands for Arsenicl got into the tonic by accident and of course you know the results. I'll be back to school soon if ------ No Kitting When he entered the room, she shyly bent her head. He walked slowly to her and lifted her tenderly off the ground You're so sweet and soft. he whispered in her ear. He sat down and she cuddled in his arms contented1y. Do you know what I brought home for you? he asked. Her large, soft, loving eyes looked questioningly into his. He opened a package and took something out of it that was ruby colored.

Foul shooting and goal shooting was held last week in the in- dependent league. The standings are as follows in their order of place: Team Foul Shooting Score Machine Shop 14 Print Shop 12 Renaissance and Polish Lits 11 Triangles 10 Gridders and Polar Bears 9 Mechanics 8 Team Goal Shooting Score Print Shop 46 Renaissance Machine Shop Polar Bears Gridders Polish Lits Mechanics Triangles 40 37 36 33 32 28 21 Intra-Mural Schedule Completing the intra-mural bask et ball season for the year, the last two days for games are as follows: March 18---Tuesday: Sub-Debs vs. Varsity Cub All Stars vs. Blue and White Stars March 20--Thursday: Renaissance vs. Blue and White Stars Varsity Cubs vs. Rockets AC BASKETBALL STAR CALLED PEANUTS Quiet and shy is the way to describe Bob Long, known to all his friends as Peanuts, who led th e freshman basketball team with a year total of 56 points. Bob is 15 years old' 5'3 tall and weighs a big 105 pounds. This lad is plenty fast and wants to go out for track in the spring. He got his running training at Hamilton School where he also played basketball. I like gym the best of all my subjects because I can play basketball, he stated. But on the extreme other end he puts science because of his dislike to mess around, as he so aptly puts it. When asked as to his amorous affairs, he shouted, 'Tm not talking. After a stunned moment, we were able to ask about his favorite food and found it to be bananas. Four Hits, A Miss, Now Lead In Femme Kegg1er's League The Four Hits and a Miss are now leading the girl's bowling league, with eight wins and two losses. They are followed by the Alley Cats in second place after having won seven games and losing three. The rest of the teams are placed in the following order: Keg- o-rettes, All Stars, and Gutter Dusters tied for third, with 7 wins and 3 losses eachg Bowlerettes, fourth, having six wins, and four losses, the fifth place is held by the Wizards, sixth, Pin Headsg seventh, Gutter Rats, and the Blue Cadets hold last position The teams placing high have been greatly aided by the games of such high scorers as Katherine Kapanicas who has maintained an average of 1235 Emily Loynes, with a 117, Genevieve Maros, 113, May Van Klinger, 1115 and Betty Davis, and Jennie Sawaya both averaging 110. C0-Ed Tournament With only one upset in the second and third position spots of the Coed Tournament, Ralph Bissonette and Alba Pasquinella still retained the lead. Ruth Damraur and Gerard Liderkowski jump- ed into second place when Sadie Doug- las and Robert Beattie dropped their game. All the other standings remained the same. Badminton is now being played. AMERKS BREAK RECORD AS WAITE AND MACOMBER FALL IN DEFEAT For the fourth consecutive week Woodward's American and National league bowlers have smashed league wood and rolled into first and third places respectively. Orchids especially to the record-breaking Amerks who bowled three games that have never been equaled in the city league race, Amerks Break Records Captain Don Feltman of the Amerks bowled nine straight strikes to roll in his highest game of the year, 264. This is the second highest score rolled all year in the high school league at the Auditorium alleys. Besides thus honor- ing Woodward, the Americans bowled the highest five man team total that was ever rolled on the alleys. The five scores were Walnsinski, 1739 Durka, 1785 Mar- ok, 221, Zielaskowski, 173, and Feltman, 2643 giving them a total of 1008 which is very rarely rolled even in major lea- ue. g Zielaskowski broke the 200 mark in the second game with a 205. Feltman's three games totaled 611, shattering the former record held by Central. The Amerks have won 41 games so far this year and only lost four.

High man in singles and to- tal was Bud Managhan whose games of 192, 174, 201, garnered him 567 pins. McNitt placed second with 557, his three individuals being 184,179, 194.

With a total of 8 points, Golembuski led the Bears in scoring. Trailing by a 5-3 score at the quarter the Wood- wardites gained a 9-8 lead at the mid- point. The third quarter found the local boys ahead by a 17-15 margin, keeping the lead till the Hnal gun to win their last game of the current season. The following basketteers also con- tributed points for the victory, Tucker, 1 point, Brent, 6 points, Sloan, 4pointsg and Whitinger, 4 points. Several first string members o f the freshman squad saw action in the cubs final tilt. They gave Coach Dave Mc- murry something to look forward to next season. Next yearls Varsity will have a few new sparklers in several of the present reserve squad, ready to get into varsity play. Faculty Handball One tournament game was played in the faculty handball meet on Thursday of last week. It was a game of revenge between the teams of Leo Robie--How- ard Phipps and Wilson Weis--Lincoln Clark. Mr. Robie and Mr. Phipps won two games from Mr. Weis and Mr. Clark who won the last game by a scant two points. - Intra-Mural Statistics As the final game in the intra-mural basketball season ended, the Rens found themselves in first place by a big mar- gin. In second place the Polish Lits, and third, the Gridders. The Machine Shop and the Mechanics wound up in fourth and fifth places, respectively. A three-way tie for the celler spot was waged among the Polar Bears, the Print Shop, and the Triangles. Four Games Remain To Be Played In Intra-Mural Race In the Independent intra-mural league pass-tap, volleyball, basketball, foul- shooting, and goal-shooting contests have been played. Four more contests remain to be played to determine the final standings. They are handball, tabletennis, softball, and horseshoes. The standings so far are as follows: Renaissance 1675 Polar Bears 60 Polish Lits 147 5 Gridders 65 Machine Shop 110 Mechanics 40 Print Shop 75 Triangles 35 455 Junior Names Checked For Honor Roll Prospects In an effort to determine those stu- dents eligible for membership in the Honor Society next year, W. F. Rohr, adviser, checked through a list of 455 juniors, 215 boys and 240 girls. To be admitted into the society, a student must have a point average of at least 3.35. The average scholarship index of junior boys is 1.9913 junior girls, 2.411. The following senior students were eligible last year but were admitted this year: Florence Mormon, Delores Downing, Dorothy Dyer, Virginia Jachimiak, Dorothy Krajewski, Mary Latus, and Lois Wenzel. Not only scholarship but leadership and character are desired in building up the society, -declared Mr. Rohr. I Twenty-One Points In Game After a rather slow start the Wood- ward basketeers concluded their scho- lastic cage efforts in city competition by taking their fourth consecutive victory when the Polar Bears defeated Scott last Friday 37-30, in a contest that didn't depict their best brand of ball. The game was played in the west- enders court. Norm Przybysz carried his custo' mary burden, stacking up seven field goals and as many free throws for twenty-one counters. However, the Po- lar Bears Ace didn't start hitting until the seconed half, when he accounted for four of his buckets. Leon Konz helped the Bears out a great deal with his 3 fielders and 4 fouls totaling 10 points. Seymour Kander, Scott's scor- inglace, was held to one goal and one ou . Both squas dscored evenly until the last stanza, when Przg bysz went into the pivot.The Bears then built a seven- point advantage, which they main- tained throughout the game. Woodward led at the first rest 8-6, Scott evened the score at halftime 10-10, and the Bears were again out in front at the end of the third stanza 18-17. The Bears hit 13 out of 17 at- tempts from the foul line, which was very instrumental in their win. All Stars, Wizards, Wildcats Are Tied For First Position With the basketball intra-mural sohe- dule almost at an end, the teams are list- ed in the order of their place in each league. In the Junior-Senior league, the All Stars are first, followed by the Sub-Debs and Renaissance tied for second. The Wizards and Wildcats are tied for first in the Sophomore league. Freshmen are well on their way with the Pirates capturing the top position. Second placers are the Woodwardettes followed by the Speedsters.

ZA.- QL--.- All Contributed To Success G l 0 wi n g with first night fer er I under blushingly red cheeks and made- up lips and eyes, the first Woodward faculty to have a case of opening night stage fright and the initial group of students to collaborate with teachers in a play, emerged onto the stage for a, gifted and t a le n t e d performance of' American Passport. Leaving the se- curity of dressing rooms for the trem- bling vastness of an applauding audi- ence t h e s e Barrymores and Cornells enacted and transplanted their monot- onous life to an enhancing would-be reality. Paul Lankenau really deserves all praiseworthy mention allotted to him for his trying-to-get-matters-straight-I ened-out pictures of a father. His speech making scene proved to type him in a complimentary role, as more than one person whispered, Is that Will Rogers, or isn't it? Lois Ann Ley interpreted a mischie- vously realistic kid si s t e r, Virginia Weidier, part as the twelve-year-old with too many why's and no's. Being the youngest member of the cast, she was more than able to hold her own and terrorized the other participants with her skilled scene- stealing. Miss Helen Marie Griffin, the petition-signing mother, caused much favorable d i s c u s s io n of her adept characterization as well as her preview of fashion forecasts Qwhich were simply gorgeously No one can complain of an absent arrow- shooting cupid for his union had to pay hi m for overtime. Marilyn Schoomaker supplied a not-easy-to- miss target in Ralph Bissonette's arms, and Kenneth Zimmerman quite capably held out the flag of truce to Irene Ko- linski. Many were the sighs of delight as these student troupers displayed a knowledge supposedly possessed by Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr alone. Miss Gertrude K a n n e y received remarkably s i le n t ovatious when she spoke, the better to hear the worth- while thing she had to say. Mrs. Isla Van Vranken as the climbing-ladder neighbor energetically expounded her thoughts and mirthful laughter greeted her skill of picture-taking-down tactics. Watson Welever, now happily able to shave off that pin-point mustache, por- trayed the typical business man to a hearty T. Without s t a g e h a n d s , behind the scenes voices, and superb direction, the show could not have gone on. Credit falls due to all who helped in any mea- sure to make this splendid production the hit it was. Miss Dorothy Warner, able and praise deserving director, can find ample comp- liment in one inspired pupil's thoughts expressed aloud, Gosh, I hope that this play will never end, at least not for a long, long time! Student Council For all lovers of good music, the Stu- dent Council is sponsoring a concert by the Woodward orchestra,to be held during the assembly period Friday. Tick- ets will be sold for ten cents in all first hour classes Friday. Proceeds from this concert will be given to the orchestra. Miss Bessie Werum is adviser of the orchestra, and Mrs. Schuler and Harry YVohler are co-advisers of the Student Council.

OFF THE COB Following are listed some of the sayings and facts th-t are heard all over the building every day. Some of them may be familiar to you. Dorothy Slupecki is rumored to be always talking about a certain man.' It's our guess that he is a junior. I U l Did you know that Fred Welch and Ralph Wolfinger are frequently called playboys. Could there be any signifi- canoe? U U U The news has leaked out that Virginia Kaczmarck is going to the senior prom with her boyfriend. Much anxiety and wonderment has been circulated as to whether or not he is a Woodward boy. n u o Note from Kenneth ---- Can Phillis Eble help it if she is bashful? Who knows??? O l U The main reason submitted that Marshall Freeman has shown an inter- est in Lois Glow is the sparkle in her baby blue eyes. I I U A Waite High School boy has captnred the heart of Lois Roloff. This seems to be bad news for the boys at Woodward Miss Leonhardt Tells All In Bout With Cub Reporter Best known for her rendering of So you're the One, and other popular music is Miss Naomi Leonhardt, piano player for the girl's dancing classes. Miss Leonhardt has studied classical music for six years, but plays popular music by ear. Strangly enough, she much prefers classical music to the popular music which she plays here at Woodward. Her spare time is pretty well taken up with, quote A dust mop and my three daughters, but she still can find time for politics or a good book. Salads rate tops as far as foods go, and she dotes on garlic. The extent of her trav- els has been from her home to Wood- ward,where she has played for nine years. Further proof of her preference for Woodward is the fact that each year for nine years when given the choice of a school at which to play, she has chosen Woodward. The reason for this is because of the atmosphere, which is 'fan mm-l-1 like hnme.

Ever since I have been in high school, I have wanted our class to give a class play. However, I like this idea of choos- irig a cast from all the classes and fac- u ty. Let's support more of these produc- tions in the future! A pleased senior. Dear Editor, A sure sign of spring is mud. And a sure sign of a moron is one who walks through it. Therefore, by simple logic Woodward possess about the largest' moronic group in the city. For many students heedless of warning still per- sist to Walk on the grass during the muddy period and then walk into Wood- Evard with pounds of mud on their eet. This has got to be stopped. Our grass is being ruined, and our school is being made dirty by students who have no respect for beauty or cleanliness in their surrounding. Can't something be done? Why can't every student who is one of these amorous resolve not to be a parasite? Why can't we do something right for a change? M. S.

All the world was there buying flowers for it was in the week of the fiesta at the Shrine of Gaudalupe--- Mexico'S most important festival. All the night before, and the night before that, thou- sands of Indians had travelled on foot, some as much as two hundred miles, to attend the Christmas celebration at the shrine. Now we all bought fiowers ---gardenias, lilies, carnations, roses, fragrant fresias--great bunches of them for five cents Barefoot Indians in ragged white cotton clothes bought blossoms to lay at the entrance of the Shrine. We picked our way carefully through the great market place, marvelling at the neat little piles of chilis, peanuts, potatoes, all set out on the ground on pieces of paper, or on the grass mats on which the Mexicans sleep. Beautiful colors were there. Tiny t o m a t o e s mounds of fresh strawberries, little white onions all in minitature pryamids at a penny a pile--for the Mexican is very poor and buys only what is to be used that day. Melons are sliced, cocoanuts are care fully cut into squares, papayas are cut into wedges and all are sold for a penny a serving Qin our money, one fifth of a centll Some vendors had great trays suspended from their necksg these were laden wiih toothsome chunks of sweet potatoes cooked in honey, or with strange looking cakes of sunf'lower seeds pounded together with sugar cane and dripping with sweet juice. Others sold pieces of kid meat seethed in fat, but grimy with c h a r c o al. fwhich is the national fuell. It was strange to us that all this marketing was carried right up to the boundaries of the shrine. Stranger still was the presence of a great company oftribal dancers in grotesque costumes, in the courtyard of the shrine. But every year various groups dance in gra- titude for favors shown in the past, or in request for protection and benevo- lence in the future. Great earnestness is in the painted faces of the dancers, who, burdened by heavy animal skins, feathers coronets and strings of teeth of wild animals, dance hour after hour without rest or food, supplying their own weird music on mandolins made of armadillo shells and on primitive drums beaten with the fingers. From the earliest dawn in the sting- ing cold, they danre through days and nights, at midday the sun is tropical but there is no cessation of motion. Little boys dressed in their own feath- er bonnets and masks imitate the grown men until the children falter with fatigue: they rest, ashamed, for a few minutes, then resume the beat with greater vigor, trying to atone for their weakness. When a special favor is being asked a group -if dancers known as the Little Old Men appear. They are masked as animals or as old men, they carry sticks to lean upon. They grimace, they clump around clum- sily as they dance. They always gain the favor they dance for, so we were told, because nobody knows who they are. Three Members Of The Girre' Swimming Class Past Tests Lois Horner, Laverne Brigham, and Florence Morman are leading the swim- ming classes. They have passed all their swimming tests and are working on advanced diving. Starting as beginners are Beverly Morris, Gertrude Young, B a r b a r a K o mis a r e k, Frances Lathrop, and Martha Rutkowski. Thev are learning BANQUET HELD BY LANGUAGE CLUBS German And Spanish Clubs Meet In Commodore Perry Hotel The most memorable event on the calendar of Spanish and German stu- dents was celebrated last Saturday night in the Toledo room of the Commo- dore Perry Hotel from 6:30 to 9:30. The occasion was the Spanish and German banquet at which Miss Anne Wetter- man, looking lovely in a beautiful blue evening dress, presided and entertain- ed, as guests, Mrs. Howard Phipps in a charming gray formal, ard Howard Phipps, immaculate in a tuxedo. After finding their respective seats the members offered G e r ln a n and Spanish sketches and speeches at the long, white table decked wit h two gorgeous bouquets of sweet-peas, which bloomed afterward in Dick Kosters lapel. Songs characteristic of bot h Germany and Spain enlivened the in- terlude between courses. Dave McNitt must be a very sweet boy now, having drunk one cup of cof- fee with ten lumps of sugar dissolved therein by Betty Bridges. Questioning the origin of an unknown subtance on his plate, Jimmy Knieriem was reassur- ed by Ruth Scheidler that mushrooms are really very delicious. Sylvia Colby was enchanted by the tender chicken as was Katherine Rudolph who happily nibbled away at a choice morsel. But the most pleasant, edible surprise was the entrance of pepperme nt pink and yellow ice-cream cake which soon found a melting exit in Mark de Bruine's mouth. Dancing to the melodies of the Hit Parade provided recreation for Bonnie Struble and Robert Unstine. Loading figuratively into not large- enough cars, to wend on the homeward way, this gay time also had to be brok- en up when Norman Dageforde demand- ed to be dropped at Jarka Warehouse No. 3. He was! A gangster rushed into a saloon shooting right and left and yelling, All you dirty skunks get out of here. The customers fled in a hail of bul- lets ---- all except an Englishman, who stood at the bar calmly finishing his drink. Well , snapped the gangster waving his smoklng gun. Well, remarked the Englishman, 'There certainly were a lot of them, weren't there? LECTURE ON FAMILY RELATIONS IS OPEN TO TEACHERS AND STUDENTS 3'iTheme Is Meeting Modern HISTORY OF GIRLS I ATHLETIC LEAGUE Each wefek the Tattler gives the history of some club in Woodward. This week the Girls' Atheletic League has been chosen. The G.A.L. was organized in old Woodward High School for the purpose of promoting interest in Girls' Athlet- ICS. To be awarded a letterit is necessary that a girl play on intra-mural teams after school and be able to fulfill a health pledge. Last Friday night the club held their annual Skirt and Sweater Swing in the girls' gym. Among their other social events, the G.A.L. girls hold an annual roast every fall. To qualify for an officer's position in the League, the girls must be the poss- essers oftwo letters. The present offi- cers ofthe club are: president, Esther Bloom: vice-president, Jane Bieniekg secretary, Ethel Johnson, and treasur- er, Emily Nowak.

FIRST YEAR JOURNALISM STUDENTS - TO WRITE SOPH ISSUE OF TATTLER Next week, members of the sixth hour journalism class will take over the job of editing the Tattler. They were chosen by their adviser, Mrs. Hazel McManamon. Among the require- ments that the beginners had to have in order to receive a position on next week's staff were ability to write, abili- ty to lead as well as follow and to pos sess a special interest, and writing abil- ity in one specific field on the paper. Examples ofthese might be news, fea- ture, and sports. This plan has always been the custom of the Tattler, since it promotes closer relationship between the present staff and the beginners' group. Also, it renders to the beginners invaluable experience which will prove extremely helpful during the next year. The sixth hour class is composed of twenty-two members. Of this number, only five are boys. All are sophomores except one boy who is a junior. Another aid to Mrs. McManamon in her choice of the staff was the selection of their desire for the positions. The members of next week's staff will be co-editors, Hanna Serafin and Betty Jane Timmons: co associate edi- tors, Anne Korecki and Angeline Bokang co-news editors, Lois Ann Frankowski and Alice Dyerg Co-editors for girls' sports, Evelyn Cieleswski and Lois Ottg Co-editors for boys' sports, Kenneth Cole and Roe Porterg Co-feature editors, Lois Schoonmaker andDorothea Noble, Co-editors, for columns, Mildred Bog- danski and Betty Buyeag assistant co- column editors, B e t t y Bridges and Doris La Beau, Exchange, Delphine Wysocki, Contact editor, Jacqueline Bartolettg Business, Charles Manng Re- porters, Dale Balton, Sam Ekhart, and Lesley Anderson. In order to promote the annual soph- omore dance, the Sophrolic, five copies of next week's Tattler will have stapled on them one free ticket to the dance. These copies will be mixed with all the other papers which are to ,be sold, so there can be no discrimination shown to any person. So remember, your one Problems Of Family Life Dr. Hornell Hart of Duke University and Dr. Howard McClusky, associate director of the American Youth Com- mission, Washington, D.C., will be two of the principal leaders at the Institute on Family Relations to be held Thurs- day and Friday, March 27 and 28, in the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A.

A majority of the meetings will be informal discussions ofthe round table type. Anyone desiring further information may obtain it from Miss D o r o t h y Pash in room 230. CHAIRMAN OF SKATE PREDICTS SUCCESS There is no doubt that the Art Klan knew what they were doing when they made Virginia Ann Kwiatkowski chair- man ofthe skate to be held at Memori- al Hall tonight. Roller skating is Vir- ginia's one and only love, next to a cer- tain tall blond named Jim. This senior lassie reaches 5 feet 7 in' ches into the universe, weighs 120 pounds, and is better described by men- tioning her very blue eyes and blond hair. Virginia came to us from Parkland School. She is a member of the French Club and Polish Literary Society. Her favorite orchestra is Horace Heidtg she likes swing and classical musicg has no favor- ite color because she believes an artist has no limit to colors, and admits her top ranking song is High On a Windy Hill. Saving stamps from various roller skating rinks is her favorite pastime and as was stated before, just mention roller skating and she has your full attention. Virginia said she'll eat any- thing when she's hungry. She openly admitted she is looking forward to an ambition of being an art teacher. She ended by saying, Because ofthe wonderful cooperation of the committee I am sure that our skate will be a great success.

Cleaner building during lunch hours. Thanks To American Pas sport O you loyal Woodward students who have shown a finer, truer, sense of the better things of life, by attending one of the outstanding productions in the history of the school, Ameri- can Passport, we send a note of thanks. h l Through your realization and appreciation of good drama, the play has been presented three times here at Woodward and certainly brings a note of credit to our school. Rare presentations like this should not occour once or twice in the four years spent at school, but should be a frequent oc- currence. Keep up the good work so that we may have more of such inspiring productions. Find A Remedy For Spring Fever UDDY roads, rain-washed sidewalks, green' ing grass, a warm current of air---these are Nature's signs of spring. But what is a student's sign of spring? No homework, laziness, and a general disinterest in school affairs---per haps---but aren't these same old problems displayed incessantly the year round? Sping is the option of a new lease on life to birds, flowers, and most people. It adds zest to live- ing and awakens slumbering dreams. But on some inhabitants of this school it appears to have an exact opposite effect. A listlessness in movements can be discerned as the gentle, Inviting breezes effortlessly abolish all thoughts of study. An in- different shrug to shake off important matters and a yell to greet the great outdoors after and during school hours symbolize the dread with which pupils face spring. An antidote to every ill is supposed to exist somewhere. Try looking for a spring fever remedy. Instead of turning over a new leaf in regard to studying why not cultivate a completely different set of leaves? Use Sidewalks, Save The Grass OOTS, boots, boots, march across the lawn. Soon it's mud, mud, mud that shows its dirty face.Those who complain about the appear- ance of our school know where to look for the offenders. After the 2:30 bell has rung, many stu- dents seem to think that the pioneering blood in their veins demands that they create a mud swamp to cross. However, there are still a great many of us who like our little civilization to well to completely abandon it.

Libbey, which previously won the City league championship, will repre- sent this district in the tournament at Columbus. Friday's contest was a swell game for the first half. Then it turned into an army practice session with irate fans peppering the players with apple cores, paper, and other non-explosives. After intermission the Cowboys Went into a 16-10 lead on consecutive fielders by Schmakel and Pier. Then the Irish turned on the heat and went into a 19- -18 lead. A held goal by Schoonover gave the Libbey squad a 20-19 margin at half- time. Then the screwy third period started with Libbey's Schoonover, Bruce, and Fenton holding a passing session just in front of the Central zone defense. The game was halted a couple of times while the fioor was cleared of cores and paper. Pier ofLibbey was high for both clubs with 12 points. McQuillen was big boy for Central with 9.

Polar Bears and Print Shop are tied for second place with 3 wins and one loss, Machine Shop and Rens are tied for third place, having won and lost two each, and the Gridders and Mechanics are inia tm for fourth place The Libbey Cowboys, holders of the city and district class A championships, will face Xenia Central Thursday at 9 p. rn. in the state meet at Columbus.

The Hicksville cagers took the title when they defeated the local Ottawa Hills five in the dis- trict finals, 44-43, at Leipsic, Ohio. S Fl IF Jake Pryzbysz, Bear forward, man' aged 201 for his seasonts total and the high scorer of the team. Pryzbysz play- ed in 16 games, 12 city, 3 out-of-town, and 1 tournament, and averaged 12.5 points a game. He went over the 20 mark four times during the season, however, a few low game at the season's start kept his record down. 1 I l With the basketball season rapidly diminishing, thoughts and energy are once again trained on the spring sports parade. Under the spring sports pro- gram falls tennis, golf, track, baseball, and football paractice. Already at Wood- ward these activies are taking notica- ble shape. Coach Jack Taylor and How- ard Phipps have called meetings of foot- ball and golf candidates, respectively. Track, tennis and baseball enthusiasts will swing into action, under the re- spective coaching of Bill Fetters, George Rohrer, and Leo Rodie, within the next week. As for the suzcess of these vari- ous sports, only the element of time can determine that factor. However, the golf team has a few experienced golfers returning from last year, the most notable of whom is John Phillips I O V Coach Bill Fetter's start track squad has a well shaped nucleus of sophomore and junior material to build the team around. The baseball and tennis squads are doubtful as yet, however with favor- able condition Woodward has a chance to enjoy a very successful spring sports season. FF il 8 Don Feltman, captain of the American League bowling squad, joined the navy last Monday. Ed Walasinski took Felt- man's place as captain of the team. Copeland Stars In Southern College League Conference A recent letter received by head Basketball Coach Horner Hanham re- vealed the impending success of a for- mer Woodward athlete, Bill Copeland. This fast-stepping little dead eye, who formerly shot his way into the annals of Toledo Basketball, has again encount- ered fame on the court at South Caro- linaS ate Agricultural and Mech nical College. Along with three other graduates from Tolede High Schools, Copeland cracked into the stating lineup as a freshman. The team had considerable success finishing in the first division of the Southern Conference.- ln the letter Bill very modestly stated, I made the second all-confer- ence team by luck, Homer, by luck. Cop, was also placed on the all tourna- ment team of the southern division. Woodward Pin Sale Again this year, the Junior Class is sponsoring the sale of Woodward pins. These pins sell for twenty-five cents. Pins may be secured from Dora Young, George Aubry, Bill Marti, or Marilyn Sohoonmaker, cornmitteemen and Jack Wilson, Elaine Roach, Evelyn Sfaelos, Bob Kubicki, and Leonard Burns, ofii- l For the fifth consecutive week, Wood- ward's American and National league pinsters have swamped their oppo- nents. The Amerks downed Libbey while the Nats won a scant victory from Libbey. Because Don Feltman, captain of the American five, left for the navy last Monday, Ed Walasinski will take his place. Feltman bowled his last game Saturday. Leading his teammates, Kerwin banged in a big 214. His three games of 214, 165, 141 gave him the leading total of 520. Managban, who has really been going places, ranked second with a high 178. In the first game the Nats bowled 777 to Libbey's 650. The second and third games were Woodward 751-751, Libbey 575.572. Total for the Bear tive was 2279, while the Cowboys fell short with only 1797. This week Joe Miller, famed bowling expert, is giving lessons and instruc- tions at the Auditorium Alleys.

This was Casimer Oper- acz speaking. Cas,'fas he is called by all his friends, was elected captain of the Bear links-men last Monday. This boy shoots consistently in the low eighties and has been a caddy at Inverness Country Club for five years. Cas favorite food is duck and as for his favorite subject, he likes 'em all. Towering 5' 8 into the air and lug- ging 142 pounds around under a varsity golf letter, Cas remarked that he has a girl but won't talk as to her identity. In closing, he stated, I should like to ask for the Tattler support of the squad and promise that Woodward will have a championship team for the first time in years. Coach Bill Fetters Sends Out Call For Tracksters Coach Bill Fetters called for track candidates and found eight lettermen returning.

GYM NEWS - Boys gym classes will soon begin the indoor physical ability tests. Indoor tests consist ofpull-ups, baseball pitch, basketball dribble and rope climb con- tests. Mr. Hardy from the American Red Cross will demonstrate to the freshman gym classes the art of resuscitation or artificial respiration. It is planned that the Monday before Mr. Hardy is to speak, Mr. Fisher, hygiene instructor, shall explain to the boys the method, purpose, etc., of resuscitation.

The Student Council will sponsor a free dance thursday, March 27, during assembly period for Freshmen and Soph omores. A similar dance was givin-jg: ROCKY BOGGS IS FAST TRACK MAN MynameisTomBoggsandIam', ............. Whoa, shouted I. This was just a typ- ical Tom Boggs talking. This fast track man, after slowing down to a gentle run, began again. Rocky, 'as he is called, is 18 years old and first saw daylight March 17, 1923. Strange as it is, he was born on St. Patrick's Day, and green ranks tops in his field of favorite colors along with chicken in regard to foods. Sure, I've got a girl, he shouted, and a darn cute one. Butl won't tell you who she is. fWe know though, don't we Giha'?J She cheers him on as he runs the half and quarter miles and dabbles in football, on the side. Shop rates high in the academic field with Tom, while home economics gar- nishes the other end. This brown haired blue eyed, 145 pound track luminary believes this is due to his mother's cooking which has spoiled him.

O I I The juniors are now displaying their class rings. They're pretty, aren't they? American Passport . The American Passport was given a command performance before approx- imately 400 students yesterday during sixth and seventh hours. The same cast was used as in the other performances held here at Wood- A medium--sized crowd and good mellow music staged the setting for the annual Junior Ring Dance, held Tues- day after school in the girls, gym. The colored W.P.A. orchestra furnished the music. The longest line at this event was not, as usually is, the stag line, buta line of juniors waiting to receive their rings. However, the stag line group was not altogether deserted for Jack Ramer, Bob Krell, Ray Saba, and Bob Kubicki were there to keep up the tradition. An odd couple indeed was Virginia Crawford and Evelyn Cooley,Whose boy friend, Ed Domanski was strangely ab- sent and Virginia's mind ever wander- ing to thoughts of Eugene Klein. Lone wolfs Bob Unstine and Harry Schlievert, wandering around as usual, while Val Irvin was standing oh so desirably on the sidelines- On the hunt as usual for a beautiful exotic and intriguing female was Mar- vin Hahn. Incidentally, anyone inter- ested, see this handsome junior. On the other hand, Tommy Boggs was desertedly looking for one and only, Betty Giha. Complete with her new specs was Carolyn Hainbusch, while Watson Welever was there with his sprouting mustache which he is cultivating for the Libbey presentation of American Passport. Ralph Bissonnette and Irene Kolinski, who both portray roles of sweetheart in this same production, were seen cuttin' the rug. Ever on the alert to snare a dancing partner was William Graiger but there was the usual group of old faithfuls, among whom were Jean Plasket and Frank Zientak, Mary Rickerd and Ralph Ruzanski, Ethel Johnson and Charles Keip, and those two old-timers, Chris- tine Serafine and Eddie Rodebaugh. . Shirley Pippel spent her time danc- ing with Dick Bentley, Joe Johnson, and Ted Miller who were vainly trying to catch a glimpse of Una Carpenter, freshman.

Track Meeting Bill Fetters, track coacb,heldanieet- ing for all thinclad candidates thurs- day after school in room 322. At this short meeting Coach Fetters discussed the possibilities ofthis Year's squad and stressed the importance of good conditioning. He explained how the track team is to be managed this season and how a member can qualify for a position in any one of the six scheduled meets. The thinclads will open the season against Fremont April 16. Seven letter- men will provide the nucleus for this event with the remaining members filling in at the oi-her events. The Sophomore Friendship Club in- vited the other Friendship Clubs to at. tend their meeting March 11 at which Mrs. Elizabeth Selmser talked on fFriendship. Tea and wafers were -D . . .. Hick Party this year. May 9, was the day set aside .for the senior's party and suddenly we've dis- covered that the operatta has been given the same date. There' are a good many seniors who would enjoy attend- ing the operatta- and still would not care to miss the party. Also, many sen- iors are members of the Glee Club and could not miss the operatta if they wanted to. It's very unfair, I think, to make any- one decide between the two affairs. For myself, I say I don't want to miss either of them. After all, we didn't have our junior party and I think something should be done about giving us one in our senior year without any complications. Senior I F 3 Dear Editor, It has been whispered Lin no gentle tonesl around school that some of our seniors want to graduate in caps and gowns. This article is neither for or against this, but I think that wearing caps and gowns in high school detracts from the dignity of college graduation. In spite of this, some of you will in- sist, We all aren't going to college. Well, to counteract this plaint---think of all the trouble caps and gowns would be. There would be no individuality, the outfits would be ordered all together, and after the expense you'd have noth- ing left. There are many expenses at the end of the year and the boys might be able to curtail expenses by wearing clothes they already have. From experience, I'm sure that the girls will get the wear out of their white dresses. In view of these logical arguments, why not be content to graduate as planned. Senior Girl an 1 c Dear Editor, About a week ago I was all set to write a letter about how the students were reforming. After the Co-ed Prom, all the decorations were in place. Mickey Mouse still grinned happily and Pinnachio was having the time of his life. But after last Friday, this pleasant glow ofpride in the students was snuifed out. At the close ofthe Skirt and Sweater Swing, the gym looked as if the Gestapo had ransacked the place. After all, there is not much point of spending money and labor putting up decorations if tbey're just going to be torn as soon as they're seen. Shouldwe have yan at all if this is what is to happen? J. S. 125 Sign For Ford Trip Reservations for the Ford trip have been made by 125 boys. This is but 67M per cent of the quota that has been set, 200. Boys, there's only two weeks left be- fore the busses bearing W o o d w a r d mechanical minded lads to the Motor City. Hurry! Sign up and make your reservations today with W. F. Rohr in room 329. f ora THE cos Here are some more of the more familiar quips heard around Wood- ward during the last week. Many wistful looks have been seen cast toward Sally Perlmutters by James Knieren, We wonder if there could be any significance?? It has been rumored that there is a feud going on between Leonard S. and Bob J. over a certain Vocational stu- dent. Must be a Woman!! Here is some hot news just off the AdamsTownship bus.A boy was no- ticed having his arm around Beverly Elmer. Who-he could be we have not F! . with that handsome cheerleader, Bob Brown? It's a problem, Sk' . My Deah Skip, lppy Bob is the bashful type. I would sug- gest that you ask him for a date. Might work, Poleh. My dear Bear, 1 hear Elaine Roacn h a s sworn off men? If this is true, who was that handsome bruiser I saw her with Mon- day??? Wondering, M. T. Dearest Empty, You were right. This man was Mil- ton Mann. How'd I do, P.B. Dear P.B. Who is that Little girl from Point Place thatI have seen Melvyn Petot with lately? Tell the truth, W.S. Dear W.S. She is none other than Elaine Ritz. Not bad either. I ought to know Ma Bear. My dear Bayah, 'Nhat was that petition for that Ed Domansky w a s circulating a r ou n d school. Don't let me down because I am really interested. 'Sa fact, A. M. Dear Am, This was a to keep girls from going roller skating. Why he did it I don't know, but it seemed to have made a big hit with all the boys. Don't deny it, Adviser Bayah. Students On Quiz Program A quiz on current history is spon- sored by the Junior Chamber of Com- merce over station WTOL at eight p. m. on Wednesday.

Clark, the Glee Club will pre- sent their annual operetta on Friday, May 9. This year, the club has chosen Robert Planquette's C h i me s of Normandy, which has an amusing plot based upon an old haunted castle in Normandy, France. Mr. Ball has not as yet assinged roles to any members of the Glee Club. He will choose the cast about two weeks before the operetta. Rehearsals will also start about that time. Members of the cast will make their own costumes. General admission to the operetta will be twenty five cents while box seats are two for a dollar.

Your conduct at a dance really reveals your true self. Maybe you are an exceptional dancer but don't try to show off. Avoid snobbishness and rudeness. Be careful not to shun any one. Some people do not go to many dances and feel under a considerable strain the few times they do go. It is up to you who are good dancers to make them feel at ease. Please don't make a stag line boys, there are always plenty of girls with whom to dance. Those of you who don't know how to dance and want to should practice at home with relatives and friends. Don't wait until an important dance like the Sophrolic to learn.Whatever you do, don't apologize too much for your dancing. When at an informal dance, dances should usually be exchanged. A boy should not show favoritism to any one girl. Neither should a girl refuse to dance with one boy then dance with another. By following these few simple rules, everyone shall have an enjoyable time tonight at the annual sophomore dance, the Sophrolic. Irresponsibility Shown By Students AST WEEK, the American Passport was por- trayed once more for the benefit of those stu- dents who were not able to see it during its first presentation. Out of the approximately 650 students who indicated that they planned to attend, only 483 bought tickets. There was something radi- cally wrong. What was the reason for this dis- crepancy? What did these few hundred students have in mind when they promised to buy tickets? Was it a plan for skipping classes? Perhaps it was impossible for a few to attend even after hav- ing made plans to do so. This act showed a trait of irresponsibility which is undesirable for anyone. Surely, we, as high school students, should be more reliable. Now is the time for the molding of charac- ter before it is too late. Attend Sophrolic HIS YEAR the sophomore class brings to you its third annual Sophrolic. Last year they little realized the hardships which would confront them when they became sophomores. By hard work and hours of planning, they have tried to make the best dance ever held at Woodward. Through ingenuity of the class officers and the various committee members, the dance is being looked upon as a success. Don't let these kids down but come tonight and have the time of your life. Encourage them so that they will look forward to their next two years in high school. Come on, kids, buy a ticket and have a good time. Hall Of Fame HE DOORS ofthe Hall of Fame open again. This week enter the Sophrolic committee members who so concientiously co-operated to help make the annual Sophrolic a success. This dance has been made possible through their untiring efforts. Not nearly enough credit can be given to these students. There should be more of this kind of spirit among the members of the various groups and organiza- tions. Plenty of room-can be found in the Hall of Fame for the kind of people who make up the Sophrolic committees. Thanks is also due to Miss Dorothy Pasch and William Fetters, sophomore class advisers, whose i HOROSCOOPS A few weeks ago, two Tattler reporters had an interview with the stars about the future of those people who are committee heads for the Sophrolic. Although the news was to be kept a secret, your faithful reporters went to the president of the uni- ted stars, Luna, who has been in office for more than three terms, and begged his permission to print the future ofthese certain people uncensored. QHere follows the prediction for the night of March 28-1 n 4 s Edward Sloan, committee head for refreshments, was born January 24,1925. Saturn tells us that this wavy-haired football player is going to carry a torch instead of a ball on the night of March 28.Now could this mean that he is not escorting Ruth Schiedler to the dance. But Saturn also predicts the p.m. to be favorable for conciliatory agreements with special friends. S I S Betty Woods, committee head for decorations, was born October 8, 1925. Mars confided in us and ,whispered this news: This dancing damsel will meet a new partner March 28 at the dance, but he warns her against taking the initiative. Let's hope that this news won't discourage Bob Blacklock, her date for the Sophrolic. IF lk I Judy Justin, chairman for the program committee, was born January 28, 1925. Chatterbox Saturn told us that this blond nymph's former plans will work out with excellent chance for success. Our analyist says that this prophecy could mean that her plans about Jack Wilson or the dance. We're lead to believe it's Jack Wilson. ar It 8 Mildred Bogdanski, chairman for the planning of the decoration committee, was born June 10, 1926. Delving into the realms of Astrology our communi- cations with Mercury proved interesting. He ex- plained that this strawberry-blond has a secret romance that will bother her conscience though she may have many reasons to forget it. His advice is, Those who worry, worry alone. il al -- 'Ursula Zulka, chairman of the chaperon commit- tee, was born January 18, 1925. Upon querying Saturn, the future for the night of March 28 was brought to our attentions. She will be urged to make a speech, to chance a juggling act, or to do a tight rope stunt. Saturn strongly advised against the last two but urged her to fulfill the speech- making. Evidently the chaperons will find Ursula enjoyable company that night. 1 I I Betty Timmons,chairman for publicity, was born September 7, 1925. Almost knocking down Uranus, your roving reporters teased him about his new girl- friend, Earth. It was a slight case of blackmail that we were able to relate this prophecy. She will be as happy as a cat in a butcher shop and equally as confused, was his reply. She can have anything she wants, if she knows what she wants. Let's hope she's level-headed enough the night of the dance to twirl with Chuck Mann. i l I Tommy Marinelli, chairman of the orchestra, was born May 3, 1925. With much difficulty we barged our way into the boudoir of Venus, and fired ques- tions at her. Though she was reluctant, she finally told us that this top-notch dancer will be the final card in the perfect hand of success, and that his ex- cellent choice and judgement were the reasons. It ik ll Ruth Scheidler, chairman of the ticket committee was born July 25, 1925. After giving Mars the third degree, in agony he blurted out this knowledge. A worrywill cloud her mind the night of the dance, for her hands will turn coal black at the fatal hour, 8:00. But Mars, recovering from a recent hot foot said that this blackness was caused from the hand- ling of so many Sophrolic tickets. We hope thiswon't cause worryrom Ed Sloan. ,i.. 11- Daffy-Nitions octave---One of Caeser's best friends swoon---neck Mandalay---musical instrument cheer---something you sit on couch---slumping walk sprig---stream of fresh water violet---another musical instrument din---cave of a wild animal Carmin---opposite of going main---to hurt seriously hnnqimwnnaie--something for scaring little hovs HERE 'AND 2nd girl: Yes, when I first saw his bankroll. ---The Oracle, Rochester, Pennsylvania.

For the sixth successive week Wood- - Hundred Girls Try For Dollars Call for entries in the annual Wood- ward foul shooting contest was an- swered by 69 boys. This was the eleventh annual contest that has been held. John Stasiak came through as win- ner of the contest by defeating both Harold Managhan and Al Waniewski, all of whom were tied at eleven bas- kets. John completed 12 baskets out of a possible 15. This score beat that of last yearls winner, Don Bialecki, by 1 basket. After misssing the first try, John made 10 consecutive baskets, then alternated on the next4giving him the twelve points. Tied for second place were Harold Managhan and Al Waniewski, with 7 baskets to their credit. Follow ups with a score of 10 to the good were, Robert Durfey and Robert Donaher, both freshmen. Next highest were Mel Grzybowski, Ray Sikorski, Richard Eckman, Chester Stefanski, and Ralph Shames, each of whom had 9 out of 15. On the whole, baskets completed were of higher rating than those of last year. The final for the girls' shooting con- test ended with Marian Vogt, fresh- man, winner of the prize. Marian came to us from Stickney grade school but nothing was revealed as to her nick- name or hobby. She garnered 16 bas- kets out of 25. Out of 100 girls competing for the prize, 15 remained in the finals. Blanks from the Tattler had to be presented upon trying in the contest.

The boys' contest was held in the boys' gym under the direction of Hom- er Hanham and Art Smith. Miss Dorthy Nitzel and Miss Cather- ine McClure had charge of the girls contest. I GYM NEWS I After three quarters of fast play, in which the score was tied seven times, Xenia Central pulled away in the final session to defeat the Libbey Cowboys, 47-38. Wendell Cultice, Xenia c e n t e r, pounded the hoop for 20 points, to pace the scorers center, Rarnsdell top- ped the Libbey crew with nine. 4 I 3 The game produced one of the finest, if not one of the best, free throwing in tournament history. Th e combined squads made good on 35 of 44 charity tosses. Libbey registered on 18 of 21 attempts while Xenia cased 17 of 23. I U l Work was started last Monday installing four large loud speakers in the boys' gym. These speakers are to be used during basketball games to announce substitions and fouls. The boys' gym classes have started on their winter indoor schedule. So far they have completed the dribble, rope climb, broad jump, and chinning. The intra-mural handball games were started this week. Some hot games are r 1 llll Spri n g is the time of year for all sport novices to make their predictions on various teams of Woodward. This year we are going to let you make pre- dictions with helpful facts presented here: 3 8 l On the golf team we have Captain Casimer Operacz, bringing back six of last years players, leaving openings for three men. Clouter Phipps coaches this good prediction, which should turn out well beqause of a comparatively easy schedule. l U S Next year's football gridders have seven returning players, we are losing eight, with Bob Krell at captaincy and Mr, J ack Taylor coaching. New members look hopeful with 64 prospective play- ers corning out to get pointers on keeping in shape through the summer and learning fundemental plays. S I 3 Smasher Roher sports two open holes on his four-man tennis squad He. reports no meetings have been held as yet, and so no predictions as to captain and team-rating can be made. l U U With the keglers next year we have two returning men to support Striker Phipps' two quintets. This year's na- tionals are in third place with approx- imately three more games and the rolloifs yet ahead- S 8 I Coach Jack Taylor has let it out that Woodward is to have a new assistant coach, a Mr. Vorderburg by name who formerly was backfield coach at Scott. Sorry! thatis all we can let out at this time. I I l U The athletic teachers have let it known that gym classes will get some of that delicious appetizing fresh air as soon as the weather changes. I O U Ted Nowak, graduate of 39, is now business manager of banquets etc., at the Commodore Perry Hotel. All re- member Ted as the Tarzan who lent his services 3 years on Woodwards var- sity football squad and 2 years on the basketball quintet.

Children from five to thirteen wrote letters, poems, and made drawings of Hitler and air raid shelters to express their appreciatoion toward the Amer- ican children who iilled Red Cross refu- gee boxes. It was Valentine's Day when the chil- dren received their gifts in Yarmouth, England, where they were attending St. Mary's and Thrumpton schools. Many urged the American children to write them and tell them what was wards National league bowlers have defeated their opponents. The Ameri- cans suEered two defeats which is the most they have received so far this year.

I really canft say. If that question were changed to What have been your hobbies? I might be able to answer. It seems to to have been my misfor- tune, always, to pick a hobby that later I must give up. First it was tennis, then riding, and later golf. For the last few years I have put temptation behind me and not even looked at my clubs. However, when I saw, the other morn- ing as I was driving past a country club near Columbus, a number of people out for their first games of the season, I decided that this year, I'd golf again. Of course, golf is so seasonal, if one must stay in the North during the winter. A hobby that will give pleasure all year 'round is the kind I think we all should adopt. Modeling in clay has been a satisfac- tion to me. I never expect to gain recognition nor fame from it, but I do derive a certain feeling of content and pleasant relaxation working with clay, particularly after a hard and trying day. This, too, I have a b a n d 0 n e d, temporarily, I hope. At present I am knitting for the Red Cross. During such times as these, I feel that my personal likes should give place to duty. There is so little we can actually do, but whatever that is, I feel we should do it. For that reason, I am trying to devote all my spare minutes to the Red Cross. SOPHROLIC LEADER RAMBLES OF SELF Who,d ever think this would ever hap pen to me? laughingly remarked Jim Davis, sophomore president, as he was asked for a personal interview. This popular sophomore stands to the height of six feet. He has auburn hair, blue eyes, and a very attractive smile. Electrical engineering is tops as far as Jim's studies are concerned. Al- though he definitely dislikes English, he bears no grudge against his teecher, Mrs. Kathryn Schuler. Jim delights in dancing, especially with Marie Holmes, whom he is es- corting to the Sophrolic. He doesn't notice girls' styles, but he gives his okay on saddle shoes. Golf shoes do not meet with his approval. Looking into the future he pictures as Mr. Joseph James Davis, successful electrical engineer. Jim hopes the Sophrolic will be a success, and wishes to thank all those who helped in promoting it. Student Council Sponsors Concert Friday, March 28 The Student Council sponsored a con cert given by the orchestra in the audi torium this morning. The concert was held during the assembly period, and the tickets were ten cents each. There were solos and group pieces played before a large audience. The pro- ceeds which were turned over to the orchestra will help pay for the various broken musical instruments. Miss Bessie Werum is adviser of the orchestrag Mrs. Kathryn Schuler and Harry Wohler are advisers of the stu- dent Council. By Mr. William Fetters Having long marvelled at the amazing record of the Massillon, Ohio Washing- ton High School football teaml6 years undefeatedJ,it was with genuine pleas- ure that Dave McMurray and I were recently able to accept an invitation to inspect their most impressive athletic field. Our guide was Dr. Bell, the en- thusiastic president of their school board. Built on a 35-acre plot at the edge of this eastern Ohio city of 22,000, the field is most original in its arrangement. Its seating capacity of 23,000 is fre- quently filled. Under the 40 row high stands is a dressing room set up which in itself helps mold champions. Seperate locker rooms for game and practice equipment are maintained. A most un- usual feature here was the complete absence of pad locks. Thievery is at a zero level. Woodward athletes could profit by this lesson. In addition the dressing rooms are so located that no enthusiastic but incompetent down town coaches and back slappers can give last minute advice to the players. The team remains unseen by the crowd ugtil it bursts on the Held for the kick- o . Joining the stadium are practice field and included is a full sized flood lighted field used solely by their famous Tiger swing band forits practices. This band drills as long and as intensively as the team, under its leader, a former director of pageants and music for one of the larger circuses. Perhaps his skill ac- count fcr the band versatility. During he winter they present several semi- clascical concerts, saving their swing or outdoor performances. Three junior highs, each with two coaches get boys started in the seventh grade. Five coaches handle the high school program. The players are re- quired to pass all subjects. Here they are more strict than the state rules re- quired. A poor student is unwanted on a championship squad. Each waitress and theater seller in the city is an unofficial guardian in the team. Any team member seen in a lunch room or on thestreets after 9:30 P. M. would b e t h e cause of several dozen phone calls reaching the coach within a few minutes. The boys just don't break any rules of conductgthere are no privileged characters on the Massillon teams. Behind the entire program stands the one idea WORK. If WORK will get the thing they aim at then WORK is the prescription the doctor prescribes. The word is prominently displayed all over the team quarters. Perhaps we could take apage from their book of success and emphasize it more emphat icalla in our own Woodward program- both athletic and scholastic. St. Ignace Sends Report C.C.LaRue recently received a letter from the Commercial Geography class of St. Ignace High School in Michigan asking that some member of Woodward send a report to them on interesting points of Toledo and its surrounding territory. He also received a sample report on St. Ignace. Elaine Roach has been chosen to fulfil the task. MUNICIPAL CLUB ORGANIZED IN 1932 PAUL LANKENAU PRESENT ADVISER .l.-.1-l1- Todayis entry in the series of club' histories is the Woodward Municipal Club. The Municipal Club was founded in 1932 by Miss Marian McDonough who advised the club until this year. Helen Hascal was elected the first president. The club was founded for the purpose of creating an interest in the industries of Toledo. Many trips to different insti- +.1+im.a am made. The club sponsors an In order to become a member one must be at least a sophomore. Bids are distributed at the beginning of each year. This year's distinctions are deep red sweaters with a red and white em- blem in the center. After Miss McDonoughs marriage Paul Lankenau became adviser.

Dan is really a fast fellow if given a chance, but previously Jimmy had eyes for none other than Wanda Michalski until fate took a hand. Smarty Bayeh. VOX POP Dear Editor, In promoting the Sophrolic, we, the sophomores, encountered many diffi- culties. We needed advice. To whom could we go? That question was easily dismissed. With such excellent advis- ers as Miss Dorothy Pasch and William Fetters, we had nothing to worry about. The success -of the Sophrolic depend- ed upon cooperation, and with that in mind we had no doubts 'of its success. The advisers and the sophs both came through and cooperated in every move. Thanks should also go to Saga Suzie for her loyal support as adver- tiser. Again Suzie scored a hit, and again she helped those in need. All in all, thanks to everyone who helped us to promote our dance. Lois Ann. Dear Editor, With a last and furious fiing old Man Winter has made his triumphant exit, and with him basketball and all other winter sports. Yes, sport fans, hand in hand they walked out, winter sports and winter itself, only to return next year when some of us will have gone. Have we nothing left? What is to be- come of sports? Yes, we have some- thing. With the closing of winter and its sports, spring enters bringing its sports, and they are various too. There is baseball and tennis golf and track. We have these for those who wish to participate. Be a r e gul a r! Join our spring sports rally, and don't bring up the age-old complaint of the lack of sports in spring. Help make a name for Woodward. It's not too late! Let's give Woodward a title of which to be proud-- Golf C h a m p i o n s, Track Champs, or Champions of Baseball- We can do it. So let's go!!

Are there pupils in our schools today who think that beyond a little arithmetic in such ordinary busl ness transactions as buying and sell ing they will have practically no use for the courses in mathematics that are offered to them? Applied mathematics durlnv this age of Defense Building is a very essential tool to the machinist Recently in Life magazine five pages were devoted to the manufacture of the Allison Airplane engine Extreme precision IS necessary 1n the making ofthese engmes as seven ty thousand inspections are made on each engine before it 18 finally finished and yet about 10 per cent of these made are scrapped because of 003 inch over size of some measurement The modern automobile has some fifteen thousand working parts About thirty measurements are needed in which error allowed is less than five ten thousandths of an inch and a few of these may be as close as two ten thousandths of an 1nch This IS a very small measurement as you would be required to divide the thickness of a hair into about fifteen parts to get a measurement of the two ten-thousand- ths of an inch. Every measurement in- volves some error but the smaller the error the greater the accuracy of the measurement. Pupils in our high school must realize that in this machine av- mathematics is becoming more and more interwoven with our daily lives and with familiar things of which we make daily use. The general idea among students is that mathematics is too difficult that it will make them work too hard but in fact without difficult work we wouldn t have many of the thing which we enjoy today. Only too often these pupils fail to real- ize that persons who are ignorant of the basic principles and idea of mathe- matics will find a great many doors of opportunity closed to their later life. Think for a moment what would happen if suddenly all knowledge of mathematics should disappear from the earth. Let your imagination wonder on and you say ridiculous, impossible to think of such a thing. In short, wouldn't our industrial age be unthinkable with- out it? If so, what of the future? Boys and girls in our high schools today will be th e citizens of tomorrow. It is for them to make even more wonderful inventions, to do more planning for the future necessities of life and greater security for the millions of people in our country. Be interested in that kind of knowledge and s t r a i g h t thinking which mathematics offers so you may occupy a worthy and useful place in the society of tomorrow.

It was during intermission when we spotted our prey and possess- ing a borrowed pencil and paper we immediately followed him into the ticket office. fFirst time we saw the inside of it.l Mr. Kaye cp ened his interview with the statement, This is the fourth time I have been in Toledo and I think it is a grand town. We have always had a wonderful reception by our Toledo fans! Of the fifteen members in his band about one-half are of the original band which he started in 1933. To all aspiring band leaders.

Sammy Kaye closed his interview with Don't forget to listen to my programs every Sunday afternoon at one. His band will play at the Meadow Brook beginning April 1.

Congratulations To Sophomores NCE every year the sophomores of the sixth hour journalism class edit the Tattler. During this period of writing and planning the paper, they obtain experience which proves in their junior year to be invaluable. This year the sophomores again took over the reins from the present staff and produced a fine paper. It was good because every sophomore was conscious of his task and he undertook it with earnestness. It must be remembered that last week's edition was entirely in the hands of the sophomores. They were permitted to headline,plan the dummies, and decide just what was going in the paper. Credit must also be given to Mrs. Hazel McMan- amon who did a swell job in coaching the sopho- mores. To the sophomores and Mrs. McManamon we say, A hard job, well done. Support Swing Fever ITTLE has been said to you about attending the club dances, but the time has come. Al- though there is usually an afternoon or eve- ning dance once every week, and it is not possible for you to attend all of them, for reasons financial or otherwise, it's ornly fair to these organizations to attend a majority of them, at least. Stop and think a moment of all the work there is in giving an affair of this sort, the securing of orchestra, decorating of gyms, tickets, etc. This time and labor is all donated by the students, and they should be rewarded by having their affair a success. Many of the clubs sponsor activites such as these to promote worth while projects and this is one of the only means of secur-ing these funds. Make a new resolution to attend the rest of the dances this year and start by coming to the Zetalethean Literary Society's Swing Fevern tonight. Spring Vacation T LAST, that much longed for, long awaited period of days of freedom from school and its worries have arrived and most of you are ea- gerly awaitingit. This is only natural, for the ma- jority of students will revel in this freed:-m, will spend this precious time in sleeping, perhaps, or other recreational activities. There is, of course, no objection to this, as it is your time and your privi- lege to use it as you will. But time is valuable and when employed in the right way, can bring many useful results. Stop a moment, and think of all the worthwhile things you could do in this ten-day period. and heed mv advice. Spend vour svring va- IPR CIPAL IHERE ANU THEREI ffm .. , an .. .. History repeats itself is a very ancient and trite saying. Many times it has rolled from the lips of the wise or would be wise when a point was to be clinched in which present day events seemed to be shaping up ac- cording to past patterns 1 K ? It is true that a great deal of this is of the human race for freedom and living room can take only a few definite courses. Even when we ex- pect this historical duplication it is startling to encounter it. Last week a student in one of the American His- tory classes brought to class copies of a Current Events Magazine that were used in our classes in 1916. These issues discussed the struggle in Con- gress to increase appropiations to expand the Army for defense purposes. It told the story ofour troubles with Germany who had just begun unre- stricted submarine warfare. General Kai Shek was trying to establish a republic in China. By a little transposing in the figures you might be reading of the Lend Lease Bill or the China-Jap War of' 1941. Just twenty-five years have passed since 1916 and the sons of the members of the American Expeditionary Force are going off to camp to pre- pare to ward off the same enemy their fathers fought in France. We devoutly hope the repetition will not be carried to a duplication of our first World War, but there seems now to be the grav- est danger of it.

These people have no legitimate reasons for staying after school. They stay simply because they have nothing else to do. Unless th e s e pupils wish to suffer the conse- quences of disobeying school rules, they had better mind their ways and leave the school directly after classes are through for the day. ,,.l.i..-.li Around.

Base Ball I The first game of the baseball season is being played today.It's starting off with a bang and there's a grand attendance of forty-five kids. An impromptu stadium has been erected from a few orange crates and some planks to seat the enormous crowd. The players are warming up down there on the field. Woodward's boy's have new uniforms this season. They are wearing red silk blouses, blue satin knickers and green wool sox. Their opponents are out there warming up now. The boys from DeGripe U. are wearing red flannel blouses, black corduroy knickers, and red, blue, and green check- ered sox. The umpire yells, Play ball, and the boys from De Gripe U. send in Percy Uare to start off the game- for the Gorillas. lt's a hit! But Willy Doit, back fielder for Woodward's Cubs, catches it on a fly. h Oh, this game is too monotonous. I think 1'll go ome.

T 'I PLAYERS HELD BANQUET TUESDAY Hotel Willard Dining Roomii c Was Scene Of Elaborate Affair Members of Woodward's Athletic Board and 1940 basketball squad were honored Tuesday evening with a very elaborate banquet held at the Hotel Willard Dining Room. Guests of hon- or included several very prominent men of sports. Doctor Clarence Spears, head football coach at t h e University of Toledo, and a fine speaker in athletic cycles, and Bob Senn, Sports writer and columnist of the Toledo Blade, both gave interesting after dinner talks. The courses of the meal were under way at 6:00. After an appetizing bowl of green barley soup the main course was served, consisting of the essence of an athlete's meal, a quivering sirloin with baked potatoes and buttered green beans. Ice cream and cake was served as dessert. At the close of the meal a feminine organist put r e l a x a ti o n touches on the event. 1 Following the dinner the attendents were escorted to a private hall where talks and the distribution of honors were presented. Charles LaRue acted as master of ceremonies introducing the various speakers. Jack Senn offered a very effective talk on the rebirth of courage, explaining how there will be a de-nand for athletics due to this crucial period in history. The basketball letters were then awarded. Dave Kor- nowa was elected captain of the 1941 squad Doctor Spears of the University then gave the final oration with a talk on pride of craftsmanship. The enjoyable evening was concluded with free admission to the Rivoli Thea- ter. Woodward's Athletic Board spon- sored the event. Ring Survey Taken Here During second hour Tuesday certain juniors and seniors voted on the rings that will be presented in the showcase next year. Their votes along, with those of other schools over the United States, will determine the selection to be shown. The sponsor for this survey is the L. G Balfour Company of Attle- boro, Massachusetts. Representing this concern at Woodward was William Rowan, head designer, and F.L. Wallace, superintendent of the Toledo branch, Charm bracelets or pins were given to the voters. DeSales Scholarship An annual scholarship contest will be held at DeSales College on Saturday, April 5, 1941, at one o'clock. Catholic seniors of all nigh schools are eligible to take the examinations. Scholarships will be awarded to the six high ranking contestants. Two years ago Paul Schimmel, a Woodward graduate, won a full scholar- ship to DeSales. Beatrice Lillie made a quick and grace- ful exit from a stuffy party.

At approximately l1P.M. the founder of modern football died in a flaming airplane crash in Kansas. Bob Gerber, T.U. center, was the high scoring man in the state and also the highest scoring man in the country against top fiight competition. His sea' son's total was 404 points. Larry Gazollo Gives Girls Prizes For Large Scores Larry Gazzolo, proprietor of the Aud- itorium Bowling Alley, presented prizes to each girl on a team who had the highest increase in score from the second game over the first. Katherine Kapanicus, Dorothy Krajewski, Eileen Kibbey, Irene Pudlowski, June Keil, Ricel Clark, Irene Petryk, May Van Klingeren, and Dorothy Hollopeter re- ceived bowling balls on chains to be worn as necklaces. Still leading in first place are the Four Hits and a Miss with the Bowlerettes in second place, having moved up from third. Tennis Squad And Schedule Organized By Coach Rohrer The 1941 tennis schedule was an- nounced to the net hopefuls Thursday, at a meeting of the tennis team in Coach George Roherls room. It was announced that practice would not start untill after spring vacation, but Coach Roher expressed the wish that every candidate have a try at it during vacation. Although the tennis team lost two of its last year players, Harry and Dick Sheline, the new material looks very promising, according to Mr. Rcher.

MacMurray As Assistant During a meeting held on Friday, March 21, the athletic board chose Elmer Vorderburg as chief assistant to Jack Taylor, varsity football coach, to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Dave MacMurray. Mr. Vorderburg learned football at Libbey High School and was one of Carnegie Tech's eleven powerful gridders. Last fall Mr. Vorder- burg was assistant football coach at Scott. Two other changes show Watson Welever as coach of lightweight football and freshman basketball and Bill Fetters holding down the position of lightweight basketball coach. More boys have turned out for football this year than ever before. Two squads are in practice at the present time. The last two weeks before spring va- cation and the first two weeks after spring vacation have been chosen as s....:..., rush: ' IN FIRST AND THIRD, RESPECTIVELY In the final cantos of the current city bowling conference both American and National league pinsters proved their worth by defeating their opponent three games each. The Nats swamped the Centralians by over 200 pins while American leaguers mowed down Ottawa Hills by almost that margin. Breaking through with a big 600, Lefty Marok led his team-mates with singles of 216-174-210. Frank Zientek ranked second, also breaking the double century mark with games of 170-201-155 to give him a grand total of 526. Ed Walasinski, newly elected captain, also broke hardwood to walk off with 501. This victory cinched the city title for the Amerks although they will defend their rating tomorrow morning in the play-offs. In five years Woodward pin- sters have failed only once to hit top position in at least one of the two leagues. The Nats wound up the regular sea- son in third place. They will defend their position tomorrow morning. Vern Gribbin was high for the last two weeks, Vern broke through with singles of 185 -185-190 for a 560 total. Getz was high single with 204.

KRAMER 1S VETERAN THIN CLAD Entering his third year on the track team Paul Arthur Cramer, junior, has high hopes for the squad during the current season. Born September 1,1923, towering 5 feet9 inches into the atmos- phere, transports his 160 pounds with speed and grace, has blue-gray eyes, and brown hair. When asked about the future of the tracksters, Paul commented sincerely, We'll have an excellent squad next year as this year's squad is mostly jun- iors. Auto Mechanics is his favorite subject, Mr. Nuber, teacher, with his- tory heading the black list. Chicken tops Ihe eatable list is usually seen at the Savoy the atre with a certain Blanche Brona. Besides track he has played football three years, is active in the sea-scout program, and he hadtwo ambitions: to beat Jim Siebenaller, of Waite, in the 100 yard dash and to attend Toledo Un- iversity upon graduation from Wood- war . Bill Fetters, Track Coach, Pleads For More Harriers Bill Fetters, head track coach, is ap- pealing to the students and boys of Woodward high school for the support and participation of this exciting, inter- esting and fast moving sport. An urgent plea to all boys, with the ability, enthusiasum, and spirit, to come out for this year's track team was made last week by Coach Fetters. Those of you. who are just coming out to get a sweat shirt might as well save your energy, as they will be given out after you qualify for one of the many events. All events are open for tryouts. Are you a 'speed king in any track event? Then see Coach Fetters about an opportunity to show your stuff against good, clean competition. Let's h av e a big turnout Monday night to try for a berth on one of the best track and cross country teams in the city. Health Cards Called For Winter health cards have been handed in and the spring cards given out to the members of the girls' intramurals league. Scheduled for spring is soft-ball. Previously basketball had been played. It is vital that all health cards be turned in as points are- being counted.

Dan tilts the scales at 142 pounds and stands 5' 65 olfthe ground. Dan also indulges in a bit of basketball. He states, The team looks good. They ought to be able to take 'emf' Dan's nickname is Bucky. Is it any wonder ? When asked if'he had a girl friend, he told us, t'Lots of 'em and when asked if he had a favorite, he said, None in particular. But confidentially Dan, who's Agnes? Dancing is Dan's hobby out side of stamp collecting. He is interested in aviation, also. He has no favorite foods. They all agree with him. Miss June Anderson and Mrs. Kathryn Schuler are his favorite teachers---art is his best liked subject. During summer vacation Dan usually plays baseball. Last summer he played on three championship teams, two base- ball teams and one softball team. During springvacation, Dan's going to look for a job. When asked what he'd like to have for Easter, Dan said, A suit and a whole new outfitf' We wish you luck, Dan. Printers Top Intra-Murals The Printers topped all the Intra- mural Handball teams with a big six in the win column. The Polar Bears come next with four wins. The Polish Lits crowed the Bears with four wins and one loss. The Rens stopped with three wins and two losses. The Ma- chine Shops split two and two while the Triangles won two and lost four. The Gridders and the Mechanics lost all their games which leaves them holding cellar position.

This number is a new high record. e 0 - What made Chuck Mann see green +1.:....- .... nn.. nm... .f .. ......+.. ....,.....+1..-v Seniors, do you realize that you have not quite three months of high school left? You should attend all the activities planned exclusively for you including the prom, the banquet, the hick partyg the baccalaureate service, and then the crowning event, graduation. In a few years you can look back on these things and have a lot of pleasant memories. However, you shouldnt become so en- grossed in these things that you forget that now you are starting down an en- tirely new path oflife. Some will go to college, but many more will getjobs and start to take their places in the world. Ideas and opinions must be formed. I'here's no time like the present to start thinking about these things. Dear Editor: It is rather late in the year to stress club leadership, at Woodward, to the seniors, but they can apply the same principles to their lives in the future' Phis missle is aimed at the oncoming classes, freshmen, sophomores and juniors. No club can function, that is, operate well and accomplish something, if its membership consists of a group ot slackers. Every student should aim to be a leader We know, of course, that every one cannot hold the top rank, there have to be followers. This is my point :if everybody aims at leadership, and if he is passed along the way by someone whose qualities are more out- standing, he is then better fitted to be an important and productive follower. He is then more apt to pick the right per- son to govern the club, if he himself has striven for the position. The success of a years program de pends entirely on the work that was put into it. Hear my warning: try your best to be at the top, but if you do not reach it, be sure to choose someone for the position who has the possibili- ties you do not. Q KAPERS BY KATE I Don't forget, freshmen, you're soon to elect Student Council representa- tives for your sophomore year. Use careful consideration, won't you? D 1 i Complaint: Why don't more freshmen have their names in the Tattler more often? l O O Answer: Why don't more freshmen turn in items about their fellow fresh- men classmates? F 3 I Few freshmen that leave impressions Berthold Henning, Helen Clark, Bob Hallet, Harold Krell, Laura and Lenora Dyer, Phyllis Jean Bade, Carl Rudey, Richard Chapman, Richard Strawser, Doris Braatz, R o m a n a Carr, and Gertrude Fisher. l D I Catastrophe! There are no Jones in the freshmen files in the Tattler office. 1 i 8 Did you know that Harold Goon Krell, mentioned before, is an expert piano player? You should hear him go to town. Senior Announcements When the seniors voted for their grad- uation announcements last Tuesday, they chose number three by a large mar- gin. Orders have been taken in the Saga office this week and will be taken the Monday following vacation. The cost is six cents for each announcement and cash must be paid when the order is given. The finished announcements will probably be here by the middle of May. The graduation committee is in charge of the arrangements. This con- sists of Virginia Lobet, chairman, Bon- nie Struble, Florence Morman, Dorothy Krajewskikpharles Kasten, Earl King, ....,1 Jai... ans-.-. 1 PFRI BACKGROUND I There ll be plenty of swing fans at the Dear Editor, , P ' P ' This week the Tattler presents the next in a series of club histories, the Periclean Literary Society. The Periclean Society was organized in the old Woodward High School in 1919. Through 1919 and up to the pres- ent day, the foremost aim of the soci- ety has been to further literary work. During the school year, the club has contributed books to the school library, bought records for the sound system, and has received radio recognition by contributing poems, three of which won prizes for the writers. Its name comes from the Greek au- thor- and philosopher, Pericles, who lived during the Golden Age of Litera- ture. The club meets the second and fourth Thursday of the month. The present officers are' president, Irene Kolinski, vice-president, Florence Bocheneck, corresponding secretary, Esther Zac, recording secretary, Helen Kinag treasurer, Mary Jane Zaidelg and reporter, Dorothy Clouse. All the members know that the suc- cess of the Literary Society is the re- sult ofthe good advice of Miss Helen Marie Griflin. Albert Biggs Wins Second Award In Essay Contest Albert Biggs, senior, was awarded the city-wide second prize in the Na- tional Unity Essay Contest. His essay was written on Why National Unity Is Important To My Country. Arrangements are being made for the formal presentation of a bronze medal. . Elias Lustig, president of Adam Hats, acted as chairman of the committee for the contest aided by 20 committeemen who were mostly state governors and United States Senators. The eleven judges for the essays were presidents and deans of Universities and Colleges. Juniors And Seniors Cast Votes For Favorite Rings Tuesday, March 25, William Rowan and F. L. Wallace, representatives of the L. G. Balfour Company of Attle- boro, Massachusetts, displayed many rings in room 141. Several of Wood- ward s juniors and seniors cast votes for their choice of the best and pretti- est rings. Similar displays are being shown in schools all over the United States. The most popular rings will be presented as class rings for the coming year. Those who voted had their choice of three gifts: a gold charm bracelet, an American Flag pin, or an ever-sharp tie pin. Dora Young, Skate Chairman, Enumerates Likes, Dislikes My main interest is roller skating, and Don Grince from Waite, was the statement made by Dora Young, chair- man of the Fasces Club Skate, when first approached for an interview. This blond nymph of the roller wheels is five feet tall, weighs exactly one hun- dred pounds and is the possessor of twinkling blue eyes and dimples. Versatile would best describe Dora, for she is treasurer of the Junior class and of the Glee Club, a member of the Fasces and Glee Club, and also a first class Girl Scout. Listing chicken and ice cream as her favorite eats, she went on to say that Clarence Ball rates high as far as teach- ers go and red is the color which she likes and wears the most. Believe it or not, she has a twin sister, Doris Young, but there is very little resemblance be- tween the two. Having been the chairman of three skates, all of which have been a success, she predicts the same for this one and tried to sell me a ticket. She concluded by stating, I know our skate will go over big, since our club is the first to I-nnlrl n clznfn nf flu: ffnliennrn My dear Poleh, Hasn't Albert Kramer got a heart?

Crouse's woodworking shop, has au- complished a job seldom attempted by high school students of wood-working. Using maple and willow wood, he has built a bed at the low cost of about five dollars. He has styled it in a manner equal to a professional's, matching the grain and using a waterfall design. Special tools and machines, mainly a planer, joiner, band saw, and circle saw were employed in producing this article. No nails have been used in putting the bed together, but rather screws and glue. The natural color of this wood has been maintained in the finishing process. Ed has plans for making a dresser and a chest of drawers to sup- plement the bed. The carpenter, though admitting that he will probably go on building things, states that his main interest is music, wood-working merley a hobby. Probably 97.99 per cent ofthe boys at Woodward strongly emphasized the fact that 'their very special interest is 1 Woodward Students Have Fun But Catch Spring Fever After enjoying a week of glorious sunshine, the boys and girls of Wood- ward returned with what appears to be spring fever. Golf, tennis, and other spring sports attracted many of the pupils. Harold Mondville, Earl Liljequist, Don and Earl Ruff indulged in these and also found time to repair an inboard motor boat. Fishing and getting a good sunburn attracted.Bobby Harter. Donna Clause and Bill Searles found time to go to New York--Bill going up- state and Donna visiting Niagara Falls. Among other Woodwardites who traveled out of town were: David Winn, who went to West V i r gi n i ag Mary Stauifer, Pemberville, O h i og Beverly Barks, Flint, Michigan, Nancy Miller, Cleveland, Ohiog and Marcella Sarten, Detroit, Michigan.

FACULTY ADVISORS ,,,,.,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Mrs. Hazel McManamon Hugh Montgomery The Tattler staff, on behalf of the students of Woodward High School, wish to express their h e a r t f e l t sympathies to Ted and Norman Abood on the death of their father, April 13, 1941. Kids! Keep Up Your School's Name' OYS AND GIRLS of Woodward High, how much do you think of your school? Don't you want to keep up its good name? Don't you want to keep up its reputition? Sometime ago, Open House was held at our school as well as other Toledo high schools. Many mothers and some fathers were present during the day. Of course, most of them gave good reports. How could they do otherwise? It would be most embarrassing if they all gave bad reports. Outside of school, the reports were far from good. Many comments were heard about the continual noise and racket, principally during the lunch peri- ods. Have you ever stopped to notice just how much noise is being made? Listen sometime. In- stead ofa monotone,you hear shouts, yells, whistles, banging waste baskets, and many other very un- necessary rackets. Can't this be stopped? Do you wish to continue to smear mud on the school name? And again,there comes the report about conduct of the students during lunch hour. One report stated that a student was seen throwing a very large orange at someone down the hall. Innocent bystand- ers were splatteared and more than one student's clothes were soiled. Ignorance? That's the impres- sion that such an act leaves upon others. So let's stop acting like kids in short pants and act our age. Maybe that's what these students have been doing. If so, they should be sent back to the Hrst grade. Now, come on, kids. Let's get after these name- smearers who have been marring our school's name Bear down on them! Don't Get The Run Away Blues ANY POEMS have been written about the desire of youth to communicate with the out-door world as soon as the Hrst sign of spring peeks around the corner, and how true are these words! Then comes the desire to escape all the things the classroom holdsgthe books, the noise and confusion, and a diligent and ambitious teacher. True enough, this is only natural, buta line must be drawn somewhere. When you're sitting in your classroom, bored, feeling like little work, and doing less, just look forward to the hour in mid-afternoon when that sacred bell of freedom begins to toll. For then, you have at least five hours of freedom before sundown to do all those things which are longingly looked forward to while in school. To the majority, this is ample time to complete the many things you have scheduled, but for a minority, this does not seem to be suiiicient and school is skipped for a day or two, without the slightest consideration for teacher or schoolwork. In the end, however, even this is stopped, so do the right thing, the thing that's worthy of you. A4-bn-nfl an nn v-1-.nn nv- n Storm on the Labrador, Hepburn Dinwoodie If you are interested in the allure of the storms, problems, and beauty of the icy Labrador regions, read this book. It traces the adventures of Steve MacCoy, a leader in his thirties, who was l o v e d, hated feared, and respected by all. His great pride had kept him from marrying the girl he had loved for many years. After many hazardous experiences, he finally won her and became happy. an is n Orchid Hunter, Norman MacDonald Mr. MacDonald and his companion had adventure in their blood, so they decided to go in search of priceless orchids. The book is so we ll arranged that it makes the reader feel that he is going through all dangers and exciting moments with the hunters. as wr il Landfall, Nevil Shute Do you prefer stories of contemporary life? If so, Landfall, a book which deals with the experiences of a young officer in the Royal Air Force, is the book for you. Humor, war-time romance, mystery, and adventure provide the entertainment, while an expose of the 'English moral in this war period will appeal to your intellect. F I 1 The English Air, Stevenson Have you also longed for a book which had found a more pleasant side of World War II? Among the best of this type ofnovels is The English Air. It is an inspiring story of a German boy, in the service of Aldolf Hitler, and his undying love for an English girl. Human and heartbreaking, it is a story you will never forget Around Woodward Here we are back in school after that nifty rest. By today we ought to be back in routine.

I say Hoat because I saw everything vaguely thru a case of spring fever. Emily Marok was seen sporting a hatf?Jmade ofcorn tassels and mosquito netting, while Ruth Bunge and Dorothy Kaczorowski wore those definitely masculine, a man tailored suits, complete with two pairs of trousers, beg your pardon, complete with two skirts. Bob Kubicki wore those adorable wedges while dancing on the toes of Shirley McLean. Vernon Baer wore a cute pink bow tie garnished with a .pair of whiskers. Henrietta and Christine Lewandowski waited far into the night with their darling sea green-gray suits, at the doors of Memorial Hall. To top it all, Clarron Frymire went up and down Summit Street leading an Easter rabbit, complete with the family.

Lefty Marok was on the hill for the Bears and gave up only six hits, five of them coming in the last two innings. Marok proved v ery effective under pressure. Woodward opened their scoring in t he first when Kozakowski walked, went to second on a passed ball, then scored on Kempski's single over second. The Bears tallied again in the third, after Marok tripled with Przybysz on second. However, the fifth proved their big inning. With Przbysz opening with a single and followed by Marok, both boys advancing a base on apassed ball, Kempski looped a single over second scoring both men. Pierce then golfed a liner into center scoring Kempski. The Bears collected three runs in this stanza. The Indians only threat came in the last frame with a series of hits scoring two runs. However, Marok tightened, and retired the next three men in order. Woodward pounded out nine hits and six runs, while the Indians managed six singles and one run from the offer- ings of Marok. Grachek, Bear Pitcher, Submits To Questioning A fast breaking hook, and a big smile that's the way to describe Paul Grachek star twirler for the Bear baseball squad Paul is sixteen years old and is six feet, one inch tall. He attributes his 155 pounds of muscle to chicken, his favorite food. About girls, he wouldn't say,even though we threatened him. Four long years of skill stood him in good stead as he made the team while still a sophomore. Baseball is Paul's iirstlove and next to it comes mechani- cal drawing. But at the other extreme is history. This brown-eyed demon of the dial mond is a proud possessor of one letter garnered in his sophomore year for baseball. Paul hopes to go on into big league baseball, and if he keeps up his fine work, it certainly looks as if he will. Gridders -Win Intra-mural Handball Tournament Cup Before spring vacation, the inter- mural league finished handball. They are preparing a softball schedule for the next event. Eight teams at least are expected to participate. The results of the handball tourna- ments are as follows: Team W L Gridders 7 0 Machine Shop 6 1 ' Mechanics 5 2 Polar Bear 4 3 .

The program, which lasts from three to seven oclock, will consist of a style show of sport clothes, games, and re- ' freshments. , On August 19, 1923, Harry Sheline, 1941 tennis captain, graced this fair uni- verse and immediately shouted, Ten- nis is the game for me. Towering 6' 2 into the atmosphere and toting 150 pounds around under his one and only letter, Harry has been tennis-nuts for six years. Pappy started him on his road to net fame. A certain Jeannie takes all of his time and about the Senior Prom---he just ain't talking. She can cook, accord- ing to Harry, and is especially handy about turning out T- bone steakes, his favorite food. Maohine shop, take note Mr. Thomae, tops Harry's studies while English gar- nishes the other end. Gym Teacher Wins Award Miss Dorothy Nietzel, girls' gym in- structor at Woodward, won the award for ladies' doubles in a badminton con- test held April 3, 4, and 5, at the Y.W. C.A. and Y.M.C.A.

The theme of the banquet, which will be kept a secret until the event occurs, Evillkfollow the title of a well known oo . shattered all records for high team to- tals. They lost only five games out ofthe iifty-four played this season. The Nats wound up in fifth place which is very good considering their bad start. Special awards will be given to the Amerks for their outstanding achievements this year. The first ten ratings in the final play- offs were: Woodward Americans, Hrst, Libbey Nationals, second, Macomber Nationals, third, Macomber Americans, fourth, Woodward Nationals, fifth, De- Vilbiss Americans, sixth, Scott Nation- als, seventh, Central Americans, eighth, Scott Americans, ninth, and the Tiger Nationals, tenth. The outstanding record of the Ameri- cans is very impressive in that they used only six men the whole year. They are, Ray Zielaskowski, Bob Chapman, Ed Walasinski, Don Feltman, Frank Zientek, and Lefty Marok. All of these sterling pinsters broke the 200 mark at least once. Their three game totals rarely fell under 500. Below are the individual scores in the Woodward National-DeVillbiss Ameri- can fray. American fray .

The second principle clause of this query was dis- regarded through fear of yielding to the wonderful impulse of obeying it but the following victims, quite cheer- fully, confided their reason for rising with the birds: Dan Muzynski--- My leg, which is in bed with me, has a string tied around it that extends downstairs into my mothers hands which yank it each morning promptly at seven. Two more yanks I don't respond. Steps on the stairs ifl still slumber on. A hand pulling my ear then I arise. Joyce Stephenson--- My mother begins to yodel at six and continues from high C to flatFuntil seven. Then she screams. Joe Hascal--- Fear awakens me. Fear of taxation, conscription, and Mr. Taylor. My conscience jumps at me out of nightmares and where are those angelic dreams that once were mine? Malikowski--- I wrote an essay on it once, but its worth repeating. Church bells ring merrily at' A. M., a little innocent child yells, no screehes, Ri-Tal , life resumes its neglected tasks, and I jump out of bed. I do too, but I thinkI'd bet- ter use a window. Joe Gym News Gym news this week was along the general order of things with sophomore, junior, and senior boy's gym classes taking the 75 yard dash, one of the more important tests participated in by gym classes.

DURING VACATION The South, Chicago, Florida And Universities Visited Spring fever had no effect upon Woodward's energetic faculty. Many of the teachers took up and left Toledo1 to see the interesting sights of th e good old U. S. A., while others stayed at home and beautified their surround- ings. Miss Hannah Shaw was attracted by the sunny south. New Orleans and Chicago were on her list of stops. Miss Grace Cronk was another Southern visitor. She visited Florida, and viewed. Tampa Floridals famed sponges. Wash- ington D. C. had the opportunity of playing host to Mrs. Hazel McManamon She also made short trips through Vir- ginia. Virginia also called Mr. and Mrs S. B. Crouse. Among the things they' saw were a Natural Bridge, Leels Tomb, and Washington Lee University. A bio- logical convention in Detroit was one of Mrs. Mary O'Brien's vacation joys. William Rohr-visited his son at Purd- ue during bunny week. Miss Bertha Vermilya was abit disappointed, be- cause her trip to New York had to be given up because of the flu. Neverthe- less she did visit in Detroit. Hugh Montgomery decided to beau- tify his garden, therefore during vaca- tion he worked in it. Our golf coach, Howard Phipps, preferred a golf course to any other place last week. Ray mond Sheline, also a garden man, play- ed tennis during his leisure. South Carolina was the state selected by Mrs. Eula Upp to visit.

At the meeting an invitation from the Chairman of Toledo Tennis Club was read, inviting the net squad to at- tend an exhibition and lecture by Alice Marble, famed tennis star, at the Toledo Tennis Club. But because of the practice none of the Woodward netters were able to attend.

Perhaps I should see what our dear friend Mr. Noah Webster has to say about a hobby. Hobby,,' says he, Any favorite pursuit topic, or object, that which a person persistently pursues with zeal or delight. According to this definition, my favorite pursuit has shifted the past two years from photography to the pipe organ. I am wondering which brought me the greater pleasure. One grand feature with pictures is that the best photographs can be saved. I can put the pictures carefully away and whenever I desire I can get them and study them. It tells me the exact story of what kind of picture I was able to make at that time. With the organ it is a bit different. If I learn to play a certain selection to my own satisfac- tion this week, I can't put the selection carefully aside and expect that in a month from now I will play it exactly the same. To my disappointment, I will discover that my favorite number has not stayed learned anymore that the furniture stayed dusted. Perhaps my family would unani- mously agree that my best hobby is the pipe organ. With it I cause nobody any inconvenience at home. They don't even have to listen to me practice, I can't bring the pipe organ home. When all is said and done, the great- est moment of pleasure to me is when I can use my hobby to help my friends. I love my hobby so much that I might be growing selfish spending so much time with it. When somebody wants me to take a picture for them, or play for them on some special occasion. I feel that my time has been well spent. I wonder if I really appreciate how much they Hatter me. Community Chest Campaign Goal Is Set At 250 Dollars With two hundred and Bfty dollars as their goal, the Woodward faculty and student will launch into their annual Community Chest Campaign. Each home room will work as a separate group and a ten cent or more contribution is asked from each student. A total of only 3124.10 was collected last year. Three collections will be made during the first hours.The first of these will be on Wednesday, April 16, the second on Friday, April 18, and the final collection will be on Tuesday, April 22. Pupils from the Oral Exp r e s si o n Class will visit all home rooms Mon- day and Tuesday to explain the need and the agencies of the Community Chest. Mrs. Eva Leu is the building repre- senative, and is in c h arge of the teacher's collection. An average of five dollars per person is contributed by the teachers. Community Chest manuals which ex- plain the purpose and the benefit given to the forty-two agencies it sponsors have been distributed to all teachers. Date Changed The date for the senior class party has been changed from May 9 to May 8 because the operetta will be given on the ninth. The party will be given from 8 to 11 o'clock in the girl's gym, while a re- freshment tax of ten cents per person will be collected. All members of the senior class are urged to attend and to dress in thick costumes if possible. Prizes will be awarded to the best costumed boy and girl. The evenings entertainment will consist of danceing, games, and refresh- two,A's and two B's. jments. POLEH BAYAH Dear Poleh, Why doesn't Albert Kramer go to the Savoy oftener on Saturday!

Each like fried chicken and strawberry shortcakeg movie stars, Judy Garland and Richard Greene, orchestra leaders Tommy Dorsey and Glen Miller, and vocalists, Frank Sonatra and Bing Crosby. They are both fond of dancing and are often'seen together at Falcon's Hall. Listening to the radio and roller skating also occupy a good deal of their time. One of the highlights of their senior year was their attendance of the Bush High School senior prom, held in Detroit's Hotel Statler a few weeks ago. Fortunately. the girls differ in their heart interests for Delores fancies Wallace Niedzwiecki, and Normals sat- isfied with Ted Nayierale. Neither likes teaseing nor jitterbugging. Both are graduates ofSt. Hedwigs and on leaving school, would like to get work in an office. One big difference was girls, however, as Norma ach while Delores is very When questioned as to of the dance, the girls said, We think it will be a success.

Term Paper Writers Offer Easy Way Out To Students The thoughts of a senior, Oh! to be a freshman---a freshman with no worries or cares! You say that's a lot of hooey? Yeah, well that's because you've never written a term paper. What is a term paper? Oh, just a paper in which every one of the thousands and thousands of words has to be accounted for. Now that I've told you what a term paper is, l'll tell you how to write one. First, you read and read. Then you take notes. Then, after outlining, you begin writing. Not much sense in telling you about the next few weeks because all you do is write. You hand in your first draft, the foot- notes are corrected, you revise your paper, then you begin all over again. By this time most of us have nervous prostration and are ready to give up. But since we're seniors taking senior English, we gnash our teeth and carry on. My advise to lowerclassmen is to take 'fthe easy way out ---jump from the Ohio Bank Building without a para- chute.

Gerard admits he was a little nervous but at the same time, very much excited at actually seeing his image transmitted o n t h e screen. Gerard thinks that television, when perfected, will make radio more entertanining to the public.

Orchids to those who acknowledged their debts and took care of them. To those who are still indebted we can only say we're sorry. You must know that until you have your debts paid up you cannot receive your grades. When you purchased your ticket you agreed to keep up your payments. You didn't have to pay twenty-five or fifty cents a week. You were re- quired to pay only ten or fifteen cents. Most of you have followed your agreements loyally, but many of you have fallen down and have not lived up to your promise, baven't you been a little negligent? Do you want to ruin your chances of graduating because your grades were held up for failing to pay a debt that you had forgotten about or neglect- ed? Get busy now, kids, and pay up your activities ticket. If you don't you'll regret it when gradua- tion is near and you have that debt hanging over your head. i....-l. -. Attend Prom At Trianon Ballroom, Tonight ROMPTLY at nine o'clock tonight in the Tria- non ballroom Lou Waterman will raise his baton and the Senior Prom will begin. And simul- taneously as each moment slips by, so will the last formal dance that the seniors may attend disappear. That is perhaps the best reason why the seniors should attend the dance. Except for the senior banquet and graduation, their social calendar for four years in high school closes. Abruptly at twelve tonight the senior activities will, more or less, come to an end. For the juniors, the prom signines the many joyful and happy moments to come. It gives to the juniors a door through which they may glimpse next year's events. To the lower classmen,sophomores and freshmen the prom is a lasting memory of one of the most, delightful times obtained in high school. So, why not attend? Especially you, seniors. Get your tickets and your girl and come. Remember, with the prom closes your social calender. Perfidia To you, my heart cries out Perfidia For I found you, the love of my life in somebody else's, arms, Your eyes are echoing Perfidia Forgetful of our promise of love, Your sharing's another charms, With a sad lament, My dreams have faded, Like a broken melody, While the gods of love look down And laugh at what romantic fools we mortals be, And now, I know my lovelwas not for you, A 1 , , 1-ni .,1,, ,I LIIL ,ALL I -.-L PRINCIPAL POINTST X-K Experience is a hard school but H f fools will learn in no other. This old 9' 2 adage has been quoted a million times. It represents the central core of -'-zz. f-.. thought that not only fools but wiser - .,',,., people must bump up against realities H - before coming to their senses. xx 'A Last week, a former Woodward stu- dent appeared in our building. He was well dressed and had the confident air of one who had met the hard knocks of life and come out triumphant. He told us his experiences, of being buffeted about from one job to another until finally he landed in a place where his training in one of our shops e n able d him, as he put it to us, just hang on until he could thoroughly learn his job. This young man was not one of our good students. All of us who knew him, could recall the times we had talked with him trying to have him get down to business and get something worth while out of his time in high school. How well he can see now what we were trying to do and how much trouble and pain he could have avoided by following our advice. Yes, there are two kinds of experience. The one kind that each must go through for himself, and the other which is technically called vicarious experience that we older ones have had. We thus try through our advice to help the student make a path around or through his difficulties. The wiser ones do profit from the experience of their elders. We are as sure of this as we are sure that man has progressed up the ladder of civiliza- tion, each generation profiting by the experience of others. Your teachers, your parents, your minis- ters in your churches are older and wiser than you. Do not play the fool. Be wise and avoid some of the penalties inflicted upon the headstrong and the foolish by following good advice.

He is cocky but has reason to be when he states that it can't help being a success with the kind of people in the senior class this year. Beside being the chairman's date, Irene has had charge of choosing and ob- taining the dance programs. They're bound to be as attractive as their picker-outer. S U I It's bound to be a huge success, declared Ed- gar fSweet Peel DuBois, publicity msn on the committee. Marilyn Highland, Libbey soph, will be Sweet Pee's date for tonight. 1 4 s Helen Kina, who has no nickname, but lovely blue eyes, is in charge of invitations. Regarding the prom she said, If it's not successful, I wonit know who to blame. Helen will attend the prom as a hostess. s 4 a Alice Red Miller is attending with Dick Mugg- er Bentley.

' I !ll.'lJl.l.l.ll.l VV UUUVVU-1'll Tonight's the big night!. Why? Senior Prom of course. I U l Speaking of the prom Hattie Santus will attend with a blond young man---he does not attendWood- ward. Who is it, Hattie? I made a grave mistake last week by stating that there were 38 day of school. It should have been 35. From today there are 30 days to go. 1 1 . Did you notice all the new curly locks of the girls after spring vacation? Qpermanent wave to youj. Nightmares, sleep- walking, and horrible dreams that some of the seniors have been undergoing can only be attributed to those term papers. Be con- soled by the fact that in college it is often necessary to compose one for every subject, not just English. l O U You who have never played badminton and think it's very simple, try serving the bird for the first or first 20 times. You not only become agitated, but you feel completely helpless to better your aim. The journalism kids fattending the conventionj who are going to the prom will have to do some hustling to get ready on time. Ask Mrs. McManamon if you may read the hum- orogs clipping she received last week from a '36 gra . To remedy that lackadaisical feeling concentrate on your studies. You will be surprised to see that it does work. Q i 1 Did you know that Mr. Sheline received a phone call the other night C April 145 from his fifth hour class, wishing him a happy birthday?

Elmer McDonnall, crack Waite miler, furthered his honors in the event as he set a new mile record for the city a t 4:38.6. Last year McDonnall was the best miler in the city as he finished first against all-city competition. Besides running the mile, he is a first-rate half- miler, taking this event in around 2:107 time. Next to McDonnall, Woodward's Bill Gernhauser is considered one of the most formidable miler in city com- petition. Gernhauser p l a c e d first in every meet he participated in last year, except against McDonnall of Waite. r 1 I U At a tennis practice held last Friday at Bay View Park, Coach G eorge Rohrer and candidates Don Ruff, Don Weber, and Dick Hawkins participated in an unfinished set of doubles,the out- come being four games apiece. The DeVi1biss baieblii squad held a field day as they swamped the Scott nine, 26-3 in their first meeting of the year. I U U Coach Leo Robie's rampaging nine started the season with a bang as they triumphed over the Waite Indians, 8-1, followed by a 15-5 vic t or y over the Scotters. Marok and Graychek turned in exceptionally fine pitching perform ances in these encounters. - C O I The Woodward tracksters opened the seasons against Fremont last Wednes- day, but w ere rained out before the meet was finished. Carl Messner, who was replaced by Dave Brown as head basketball coach at Scott, has announced that h 0 W111 retire from all athletics. Girls Teams To Play Soft- Ball In Intra-Mural Games The girls intra-mural teams have organizeda league to play soft-ball. The teams play each Tuesday, Wednes- day, Thursday, and Friday after school.

Harry Wohler was made manager because Leo Robie has been kept busy with spring baseball, but since so many teachers cannot participate the faculty handball meets have ended for the season. 1 IC 1 All boys in the boys' gym classes are now playings softball outdoors. Most of the boys have completed all their tests consisting of pull-ups, rope climb, baseball pitch, broad jump, dash, etc. New Schedule The intra-mural club league began a new schedule of softball and horseshoe last Monday. They finished up table tennis and handball last week. The winners of the boys' intra-mural table tennis tournament were the Polish Lits who b a t t le d their way to the championship with seven wins and no losses. The Polar Bears emerged victorious in the handball meet by snatching seven wins from their opponents. Taylor Changes Positions In Scrimmage With Clay Last Friday the football team had a scrimmage game with Clay High School. During this game, Coac v Jack Taylor shifted several players into different positions. After the scrimmage game to be held this week, Coach Taylor ex- pects to change a few more positions in trying to find a more balanced team. This year's squad is smaller in size than last, but is a much heavier team. The reserves will be the best in years according to reports. Gym Instructor Returns to Woodward From Convention Art Smith, co-director of physical education at Woodward, recently re' turned from a crowded Washington, D- C., where he attendeda National Phy- sical Education Convention. The theme of the convenion was,,,The part Reo- reation and Physical Education will play in the National Defence Program, The active days of the convention were April 2,3,4,5. Various leaders throughout the coun- try offered discussions and lectures on the subject. Milo Warner, Nation al Commander of the American Legion, addressed the group on the legion's ideas on recreation. He was another representative of Toledo. Mr. Smith acted as chairman of the nomination committee for next year's officials. On his return trip, he toured ' ' New York HITS TO WALLOP BULLDOGS 14-5 l3fMoundsmen For Woodward GOLF SQUAD DROPS INITIAL ENCOUNTER The golf team dropped a hard-fought decision to Libbey at Heather Downs, Tuesday by a 16yg to 1055 score. With the wind and rain at its high- est the squad found themselves hitting into a near gale. Tiny Bobby Harter was high man as he took 4 p o i n t s away from his op- ponent. Bob, playing in the 4 slot, is a two-year veteran. Cas Operacz, captain and first man nailed two points. Johnny Phillips fir- ing from 2 spot got M p oint. Other points garnered were Carl Betz, 2 Stan, Stevens, 2, and Sam Echhart, kj. Carter Beam, of Libbey was low man with an 83. This was exceptional as a high wind and cold- air made it impossi- ble for the players to hit their shots with any accuracy. Polar Bears Beat Macomber 6-5 In Twelve Inning Contest In a thrilling contest that went deep into extra innings, the Polar Bear Nine edged out their third straight win to drop Macomber 6-5 in Wilson Park, Tuesday. The game went 12 innings. The see-saw contest kept b o t h squads on their toes for the entire game, until the 12th frame, when Koza- kowski singled, stole second, and scored the winning run on Myneder's hard smash past short. The Bears pounded out 10 hits and scored 6 runs, while the Mechanics banged out 9 hits and 5 runs. It was in the seventh stanza that the Mechanics began to pound the ball to even up the score and chase Warnke from the mound. Gracheck replaced Warnke and put a stop to the Craftsmen rally. The two Bear hurlers fanne 17 men between them. Woodward knocked Barnachow- ski, Macomber fiinger, out of the box in the 6th after a series of hits. POLEH BAYAH K Dear Bearsie, Who is that brown-eyed, good-looking sophomore that hums with cheerleader Durffey? Inquisitive Susie, My dear I. S., Their are so many of them it is hard to say. My bet would be Milton Mann, however. Yers trooly, P. B. l i R Dearest Poleh, Why the sudden coolness toward Woodward males from Dorthy Shaff? I can't understand it. It's a crime, D.V. Dear D.V.

My dear C., It might be the fact that Carrol Ackley goes for a ravishing Libbey man. 1 1 Are Graychek And- Q Warnke Leo Robie Taking their second consecutive vic tory, the Polar Bear nixie pounded out 14 hits and chased two Scott pitchers from the mound to wallop the Bulldogs, 14-5 in the latter's park last Friday. G r a c h e k and Warnke handled the mound duties for the Bears. Woodward 1-ut loose in the second when they tallied five times. Kempski started the barrage with a single fol- lowed by another by Koster, then My- neder slapped one of his four doubles into deep center driving both boys home. Kornowa walked and pitcher Grachek sent a liner over second push- ing two more runs across the plate. The Bears continued hittingin this manner and scored in nearly every frame, knock- ing two Scott pitchers out of the box. Bob Myneder had a field day, banging gut four doubles and a single for five its. The Bulldogs managed eight hits and five runs off the offerings of Grachek and Warnke. The Bears have started two addition- al games, however, both were rained out before the fifth inning. Reporter Gets First Hand News Items In Auditorium A school movie and a glimpse of cinema phobias. Though the auditorium was dark, this reporter succeeded in prowling through the crowd to catch the students unaware. Jean Marzec raced to her seat, re- moved her shoes, and slept through the whole mystery thriller. Then there was Daniel Olszewski who became so lost in the action that he tore up his homework for the next hour. Calm Eleanor Sieczkowski burst into a fit of tears whenever the heroine went melo-dramatic. Danny Kozakowski told everybody what was coming next because he had seen the movie five times before. At every period between reels, Lois Roth stole a glimpse into her English book to study for an unwelcome test. This reporter got smashed in the scramble that is always after the grand Hnale and barely found strength to in- form you of the above discoveries. Tennis Squad Drops Match With East-side Netmen, 6-3 The tennis team last Tuesday dropped their match with Waite by the set score of six to three. Dick Sheline won two, by scores of 13-11, 6-4, and Dick Hawkins and Don Weber, playing number one doubles, salvaged one by the score of 64, 'osing the other two 2-6. 4-6. The number two doubles team dropped two straight, and Harry Sheline, playing singles, dropped his two. Coach Roher hopes for much better things from his team this year, and expects to get thern.

As it has been for three hundred years, so it is still today, the main path to statesmanship. Thousands of young people, seemingly doomed to the narrow round of lives of toil and poverty, have used the study of law as a means by which to climb out upon the long highway of success. It was the law that glorified the names of Marshall and Websterand Linclon. No matter how great their per- sonal abilities, they scarcely would have set their feet on the high places of our history had not the law pointed the way. But law no longer holds the place it once possessed oflonely loftiness among the professional callings. Business and industry, with the professions t hat their requirements have created, offer an untold number of opportunities to aspiring young men and women gradu- ates of Woodward High School. Yet, among the great complexities and perplexities of modern life, the position of law becomes ever stronger. The diversity of legal enactments in the last ten years has made it pertinent that members of every profession know law. For, just as above the machines and their interests are the paramount interests of men, so above the organ- izations and the processes of industry are the laws in the light of which these ihdustrial activities must become coherent and justifiable if they are to endure. The realm of the law is a fair country to those who learn how to travel its many highways and byways. It is not a region of drifting sand but is rockribbed with the principles of just human relations. TID BITS i What is it that keeps Franny Jec- hura so busy these days?

Now that spring is here, why doesn't your cold shoulder thaw out? I U l What happened to the Jim, c Dear Editor: I think more students should sign prom petitions. They don't seem to real- ize the good time they could have for a mere 51.50. Last year I went to the senior prom for the first time, and that memory will remain with me forever. That,'I think, is the best reaso n for going to the seniors' dance. lt's the memories that last. Although you may forget other things in later life,that experience will remain. - I am writing this because I cannot understand why more students aren't putting their John Henry' on a peti- tion. Itls time they woke up. Just a Junior. Dear Editor: This letter involves double trouble. Why don't more teachers attend school dances? When ever an organization plans for a dance, it is always a problem to persuade instructors to come. There are a few faithful ones, but they are a very few. Now for the other half ofthe trouble. Students have been lax in speaking with those teachers who do come. Per- haps this is one reason for poor faculty attendance. If so, it rests on the pupils to remedy the situation. But teachers, we would like your support at such functions. How about it? Senior. Dear Editor, Why do some people insist on show- ing mob rule and g an g destruction, especially to such a beautiful and use- ful institution as a school building? Last night, sixteen windows were brok- en in the lower floor. This is not only evidence of poor brain power but also reflects a bad name upon the commuity. These same persons would be fighting mad if someone would throw them in jail to serve a term, and they would demand justice. A jail sentence is only half of what people with such thought- lessness deserve. Dear Editor, What are Woodward students made of? All winter long, club members at- tend their meetings off and on but few attend regularly. When their club is sponsoring some event, you find only the few loyal members selling tickets, but on the night of the big event, nearly every club member turns out to brag proudly that the club he belongs to is sponsoring this gathering, not thinking that it might have been a greater success if he had given his whole-hearted support. Then when spring comes bringing warmer weather and inviting sunshine, again many students label themselves, deserters. They forget that they'll have all sum- mer to be out in the sun. All in all, let's attend regularly and support our clubs till school is out, which won't be long now J .P. The bulletin board in the boys' gym is posted with illustrations covering all the phases of athletics. These pic- tures illustrate various methods of participation in the different games.

Rugcutters Have Swell Time At Scholarship Dance Friday As 'fin au comes Back to Me Now this reporter recalls the undoubtedly swell time had by all Woodwardites who attended the Scholarship Dance last Friday. It was evident that everybody was witnessing a second performance of the Easter Parade as Florence Matus- zewski, Dolores Gorski, Irene Hintz, and Helen Wodarski walked in pre- senting a fashi in preview of the latest in spring suits. It was a real jam session in the old schoolhouse and the only homework for the evening was, Let's dancev. There was no Professor Kyser to pre- side over the student body, but the Pol- ish Literary Society's next bid for honors was Jimmie Reemsnyder's boys rendering a hit parade of enchanting melodies. Of course, this female report- er wouldn't dare mention the charming vocalist who made such a hit with the stag line. There were no smarties in this crowd because every rugcutter was presented with a souvenir diploma upon entering the ballroom. Familiar scenes were Dolores Lamp- kowski and Norma Gomalski, co-chair- men, proudly displaying their corsages, Florence Widlund dancing with John Potts with Al Kempski and Ralph Zyc- kowicz admiring the lucky fellow, and ---but I could rattle on for hours. ZETALETHEAN LITERARY SOCIETY BEGAN I TEN YEARS AGO BY WAITE HIGH INDUCTION The Woodward Zetalethean Literary Society, the fifth group of its kind to be established in Toledo, was founded in the spring of 1931, just ten years ago. At this time a small group of girls, Charter members, were inducted by oiiicers of Waite High School Society. Through strict following of the con- stitiution and by-laws, a literary pro- gram has been carried out. Several orig- inal plays have been presented the most noteworthy of which was the Courts of Magazines, a play based on the study of this group. Plans have been made for the presentation of a play based on modern novels, The Haunted Bookshopj, in the fall. A practice of giving b ooks to the school library was started in 1939 and ceeds from the Zet dance, S pring Fever will be used to further this cause. An active part is taken by the Zeta- lethean Literary Society in all school affairs such as the Shekle Shuflie, Gay- ety Nite, and other events and a ban- quet is given for members of the club at the close of each year. 'Phe motto of the club is Nihil Sine Lahore, which means Nothing With- out Labor.

Prepardness for National Defense was the theme of the gathering. Distinguished by badges plus arm bands for thejuniors, delegates were visible in any plaoe in Washington during the week. After registeration the first plenary session of the convention was held in Constitution Hall, 5500 persons attend- ing. Someone remarked that this was the most colorful gathering he had seen as all the uniforms of the various vol- unteer services were being worn. Nor- man Davis, national chairman, opened the meeting. his speech having a nation- al hookup. Senator Harold Burton, from Ohio, and Daniel Wessler, of Port- land, Oregon, spokesman for the Junior Red Cross, were also among the speak- ers. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was a mem- ber of the audience. In the succeeding days the Junior Red Cross meetings were held separate- ly for those of the adult group. Their convention t h e me was Citizenship Training for Internal Defense, and all subjects for discussion centered around it. Instead of prepared talks, juniors started spontaneous discussion from the floor. Nor were they shy. At one time at least thirty hands shot up wishing to be recognized by the chair- man. As it was necessary for each speaker to state his name and chapter one delegate, whose humor ran to foods, announced that he was Phil Salad as in potato. That evening there was a general session which Paul V. McNutt address- ed. Franchot Tone, star, Lucille Man- ners, soprano, and Conrad Thibault, baritone, participated in the Pledge to America with music arranged and conducted by Dr. Frank Black, general music director of the N. B. C. Tuesday afternoon the Juniors were entertained at a tea dance in the Hall of the Americas, Pan American Union. and that evening the Seniors had their formal banquet at the Mayflower Hotel. Robert Jackson, Attorney General, and Viscount Halifax, British Ambassador, were the speakers. Pan American Cooperation was the theme of the Junior Red Cross Dinner and entertainment at the Mayfiower Hotel, Wednesday night. While the chicken was on the plate, one enter- tainer demonstrated songs and dancers from Mexico and Chile. After the enter- tainment delegates left to see Wash- ington's night-life. The final plenary session was held Thursday and the convention was of- ficially adjourned at a luncheon that noon. Woodward Glee Club Invited To Sing For Kiwanis Group Woodward's Glee Club has been in' vited to sing at the Kiwanis Club.The group will make this trip next Wednes- day.

Before it be- came known as Woodward, the school was called Old Central and was located on the site of the new public library. It was named after a Mr. Woodward from St. Louis who is the father of manual training. He introduced indus- trial arts into public schools and origi- nated the motto Learn by doing. Old Central was named Woodward Techni- cal High School in his honor. In 1930, the Electrical Club was adopted in the new building. In Febru- ary of 1930, A. R. Bitter came to Wood- ward and a class in electricity was started. At this time the Electrical Club became active and with the help of William Rohr, adviser of the Engi- neering Society, the club was made an active organization. Many boys from the Engineering Society joined the Electrical Society. William Orocker was the first president of the active club and Mr. Bitter was made adviser. The purpose of the society is to develop an active practical interest in electricity, to develop a spirit of friend- liness amongst electrical students, and to be of service electrically to the school. Supposed Writers Obtain Grand Time At Convention To the soothing strains of the Break- fast Club, thirty-two Woodward jour- nalism students set out for the fourth annual Northwestern Ohio District Journalism Convention at B o W l i n g Green, Ohio. Although annoyed by the noisy sophomores playing cards with those big he men of the Tattler staff, we did manage to catch a note here and there. We drove over to Scott to pick up the rest of our group, but oh--no males. The Woodward boys gladly welcomed the Scott girls, and again we moved on. After arriving at the college, we attended many meetings and furthered our journalistic education. The after- noon was climaxed by the announce- ment of the Tattler's receiving the se- cond award in Class A in Northwest- ern Ohio. It was a grand feeling for this is the Erst time in the history of the Tattler that such an awa r d has been received. Student Council Banquet To Be At Hillcrest Hotel May 21 The annual Student Council banquet will be held Wednesday evening, May 21 at 6:00 o'clock, at the Hillcrest Hotel.

Bob Kubuki is chairman assisted by Betty Hansen, Lois Roth, Bob Hunt, and Betty Wood. Mrs. Katheryn Schuler and Harry E. Wohler are advisers. Principal Misses Prom Another member of the faculty who was forced to miss the Senior Prom because of a trip out of town was C. C. LaRue who attended the Ohio High School Principal Association at 'Colum- bus Ohio. Additional information was Thirty-two Journalism Students Mrs. Hazel McManamon Little did any of Woodward's dele- gates to the Fourth Annual Northwes- tern Ohio District Journalism Conven- tion at Bowling Green, Ohio, Friday, April 25, realize that the Tattler would receive the second award in Class A in Northwestern Ohio. This is the first time in the history of our paper that an award has been received. To the soothing strains of the orches- tra on the Breakfast Club, thirty-two Woodward journalism students set out for the convention which was held on the campus of Bowling Green State University. Although annoyed by the noisy soph- omores playing cards with those big he-men of the Tattler staff, we did manage to catch a note here and there. We drove over to Scott High School to pick up the rest of our group, but, oh! no males. The Woodward boys glad- ly welcomed the Scott girls, and again we moved on. After arriving at the college, we at- tended many round table discussions and meetings and furthered our jour- nalistic education. Then c a m e the grand climax with the presentation of the awards. It was a very happy group that returned to Toledo that afternoon. Mrs. Hazel McManamon, adviser of group, also attended. Highlights Of Senior Prom Are Outlined By Reporter Amid the fragrant scents of orchids, roses, carnations, and sweet peas, land my own dandelionsincludedl the Senior Prom was held last Friday evening at the Trianon. Of cuorse, the seniors will tell you that it was the grandest prom ever sponsored by the senior class. Yet, although Fm still a junior, I'm afraid I must agree, for not only do their books show it, but the smiles of Janet Wozna, Laura Meyers, Dot Dyer and Florence Bochenek furnish further evidence of the Prom's success. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was the grand march. It was beautiful, and although I had to nourish Kermie Eckert and a few others with potato chips to give them the necessary calories to trudge the the mile and a halfto the end ofthe floor, I still enjoyed it.And I noticed everyone especially, Penny Smith wearing those celestial orchids Ray Saba gave her, Irene Kolinski's lovely formal, Mrs. Hazel McManamon's twinkling eyes ll wonder if the Tattler had anything to do with it,?l Howard Phipps in a tuxedo, and Mrs. Upp distributing the palms.

FACULTY ADVISORS ...... ,....,.......,,,,, M rs. Hazel McManamwn Hugh Montgomery The Tattler staff, on behalf of the faculty and students of Woodward, wish to extend deepest sympathies to Isadore Yourist on the death of his father. We Would Sure Miss Them HIS, IN A SENSE, is an obituary, a death no- tice to all departing seniors who are bringing down the curtain on their last and, we hope their most enjoyable year. A school really couldn't exist without them. They are the molecules, always on the go, whose esca- pades make such swell conversation in the halls. They are the disturbing element of any event for they do things no self respecting freshman would ask his grandmother to do. They are the ones who make us wonder if that Math test is really so hard. They worry us, teachers and students, with that irresponsible haven't got it and lazy mannerg aggravating to any up-and-coming sophomore or junior. Still, all in all, their priveleges and rights don't excede ours, only they know the formula of work- ing within the law and getting away with it. Attend Your Own Meetings S IT FAIR that juniors attend senior class meet- ings or viceversa if they don't intend to be on their best behavior, and especially if they don't attend their own class meetings when they are called? Of course this practice is supposed to be prohibi- ted but, as yet, the problem of having only seniors in the senior class meetings and only juniors in the junior class meetings hasnot been solved. These uninvited students should act properly, and leyally attend their own class meetings. Use Fountains ' For Drinking Only EBSTER HAS NOT as yet discovered a word which would adequately describe that group of half-witted, inconsiderate students who in order to probide a little amusement for their half- warped souls, resort to tricks of lowest degree. Every one of y ou at sometime or another has stooped to take a drink from what are supposed to be the latest and safest in public drinking fountains only to be met half-way by a stream ofvvater which is about two feet from its usual route. Believe it or not, the reason for this is merely a small paper wad or a piece of match stick stuck in the spout. Stop and think a moment of the damage this can cause. True enough, an eyeful or noseful of water is not a great catastrophe, but this is only a minor offense. Puddles of water surrounding these fountains surely would not create a very good impression and should a person walking hurridly down the hallencounter one ofthe eyesores a serious accident might happen. Whether this is a lack of foresight or just plain ignornace no one knows, but these actions must be stopped. This is a high school and actions should he indm-A 'The Story of Flying Archibald Black The Story of Flying is a sweeping and inci- dent-packed chronicle of man's conquest of the air, beginning with his earliest aspirations and ending with his plans for the future. Mr. Black tells of the early experiments of Mazim, Langley, Curtiss, Zeppelin, and the Wrights and of the tribulations of a budding industry. He tells of the World War boom with its scandals, of the postwar slump, and of the subsequent recovery crowned by the trans- atlantic Hights of 1927. The account of the more work-a-day but not less interesting side of aviation takes on much of the nature of an inside story, for it is based upon personal experience dating back to 1910. In this part of the book the start of the air mail is described, along with the first night flight and the inception of passenger service. In the latter portion of the book several chapters are devoted to current activities in various bran- ches of flying including photography, airways de- velopment, and the longhoped for sucess with re- volving wings. Here, also, the author tells of the automatic pilot, the wing de-icer, the almost uncan- ny radio altimeter, and other new apparatus. The story of modern air transport leads to the closing chapter on Aircraft of Tomorrow, which points the way toward some probable developments in the near future .

If a man dies tonight, his widow would get her money by first post tomorrow. You don't sayf' drawled the Yankee. Seehere now, you talk about prompt payment. Well, our office is on the sixth floor of a sixty-three story building. One of our clients had his offices on the fifty-seventh story and he fell out the window. We handed him his money as he passed our door. THE BUGAMIST A June bug married an angleworm, An accident cut her in two. They charged the bug with bigamyg Now what could the poor thing do?

May Day It was on a Hne spring morning Which was called the first of May That I began to notice in many a different way, The beauty of the fiowers among the green brushed hills And the laughter of the lassies as they gathered daffodils. And just to sort'a dull the pain, that pulled at my insides I started for the door with a hundred different slides. But just when freedom was in sight A shadow crossed, it fell And there stood my heartless Prof., who sighed a long, drawled Well. Then grasped me by a tender and lifted me inside To teach me how to keep the freedom for which at least I tried. My Sister And I My sister and I Remember still, A tulip garden by an old Dutch mill, And a house that was all our own, until--- But we don't talk about that. My sister and I Recall once more, The fishing schooners Coming into shore, And a dog cart we drove In days before--- But we don't talk about that.

With the rapid increase in high school bowlers, commissioner H. R. Townsend of Columbus said, it is very likely that this sport will be enter- ed in statewide tournaments within two years. 8 ll 11 The site of the ClassAdivision of the state high school basketball tourna- ment is still undecided. Toledo Univer- sity's gymnasium, Xavier's fieldhouse, Cleveland and Akron are considered as possible locations. Wittenberg's gym at Springfield has received the nod the Class B section. C 1 3 Ohio Scholastic athletes participated in Columbus over May 22 and 23, for the state spring sports tournment. l I I The t h i r d annual DeVilbiss Night Relay meet, will be held tomorrow in DeVilbiss stadium from 3 to 6 p. m. A record list of Class A and B schools has already filled the entries for this meet. The events will be: 12 yard high hurdles, 100 yard dash, pole vault, sprint medley, mile run, high jump, shuttle hurdle relay one lap relay, four lap relays. Last year DeVilbiss took the Class A title and Lambertville, Michigan, High team took Class B honors. Woodward Tennis Team Is Beaten By Irish Netmen 6-2 The Woodward tennis team played a match with Central last week and was defeated 6-2. The only two points com- ing when Don and Bob Weber, playing doubles, beat their opponents 6-2, 6-2. Dick Hawkins and Frank Symkowiak, playing number two doubles, dropped their first two sets by scores of 6-1 6-3. Harry Sheline, number one doubles player, also lost two, and Dick Sheline dropped a couple by scores of 8-6, 6-4. A confusing situation arose when the Bear doubles players found that the Central netmen were named Jim and Bob, two Jims and two Bobs- be- ing, not amoozin,' but confoozinf espec- ially when they have such a line of chatter as these four had, plus some side line kibitizers. A number of new men are coming out and among them may be round that added stimulus needed to win matches. Eddie Sloan, Cal Lemerand, and Robert Tuite are three of them, and there will probably be some play- offs at Bayview Park to determine the permenant squad. Baseball News Lefty Marok, the Polar Bears hurl- ing ace turned in' a fine performance against Central allowing only three hits, striking out nine. Lefty got into alittle trouble in the Hrst, when he walked the first two men and Vic Kosydar slapped one of his two hits in- to left scoring both players. However from there on in Marok buckled down and didn't allow another Irish player to reach third. Gracheck's relief role was very effective in the Libbey game. Horseshoe Contests Take Over In Intra-mural League Horseshoe contests were held in the boys' intra-mural league last week with eight teams competing. On April 21, the Gridders were victorious in a game with the Machine Shop. On the same day, the Mechanics lost to the Polar Bears. The Rrenaissance grabbed a hard tossed game from the Triangles on April 22. The Polish Lits snagged a game from the Printers on the same THINCLADS IN MEET Wilson And Bohnsack Are Stars With Fourteen Points Each In a dual track and field meet at DeVilbiss field Tuesday, the Tigers, sparked by Bohnsaclis 14 points, de- feated the Woodward Bears 94-23. Bohnsack led his team with firsts in the high hurdles and broad-jump, sec- ond in the 100 yard dash, third in the 220. Wilson, if Woodward, paced the Bear squad with 14 points as he gar- nered first in the low hurdles and high jump, and a second in the high hurdles.

Kroger Food Expert Gives Lecture In Senior Meeting At a meeting of the senior class Mon- day, Mark Annis of the Kroger Grocery and Baking Company explained the opportunities for the high school grad- uate in the food industry. Mr. Annis said that the appeal of the food industry is high and that it is one of the greatest in America. It is grow- ing constantly the two trends in stores are to larger, better, and fewer stores and to more cooperative stores. Employ- ment is more steady--in bad times the number of employees only varies about twenty per cent. Besides the straight selling positions, there are accounting, office, comptome- ter, stenographic, and cashier jobs for girls. Then advertising, packaging, and research offer much room for clever ideas for both men women.

VVoodward walloped the Cowboys at Highland Park 13-8 and dubbed the Irish 11 2 at Wilson Park. Lefty Marok put on a sparkling perfor- mance' from the hill in the Central fray, giving up only three safe blows. Gracheck and Marok handled the Lib- bey contest. Woodward's hitting power has been very effective in most of their wins and was no exception in the last two victo- ries, with the Bears pounding out ten hits against Central and eleven base knocks against Libbey. In the Central fray Kosterls home run in the fourth with two on accounted for three tallies and Kempski's double in t he sixth pushed across three more runs with Kempski scoring on a fielders vhoice. Behind constant hard hitting, the Bears scored in every s tan za. The Bear's pounding bats got to Libbey's hurler in the second when Kozakowsi singled, went to third on Koster's drive over second, both boys scoring on Hoffman's single into left. However, the Robie- men's big splurge came in the fifth after a series of singles and extra base knocks piling up eight runs. Community Chest The first Community Chest collection was 3102, and the second netted a little over 344.50 which makes a total of approximatley 3150.

It is noted for its majestic soenery with snow covered peaks extending thou- sands of feet into the air, glaciers, little lakes high in the mountains, and dense forests of pine and fir. One of it's most interesting features is the animal life to be found there. Deer are very numerous, and elk, al- though not so widely distributed, may be seen occasionally. Coyotes and black bears are present in the woods, but remain hidden and are seldom visible. Most people are interested in the bea- vers and the dams they build, and al- though it requires great patience to see these small animals at work, an hour or two of waiting at dusk, will often be rewarded. Chipmunks and squirrels overrun the park and beg from all tiurists. The nuts which are handed them are stored in their cheeks until they will hold no more, and then these little rodents leave only long enough to dispose of their booty in some safe hiding place. Hundreds of cabins are scattered throughout this district, and the one in which we spent our vacation faced Longs Peak, the highest peak in the park. Besides this we had a grand view of many other snow capped mountains. In the evenings we went to the open air amphitheatre, sat on the natural benches carved out of the stone, and listened to the illustrated lectures giv- en by the park rangers. Although a huge log fire added much to the pictur- esqueness of the scene, it did little to warm the atmosphere, and the people, huddled under blankets, from hotels in the village of Estes Park, from the trailer camps, and from the mountain cabins gathered to hear these talks. Rocky Mountain Park offers many diversions, one of which is mountain climbing over well marked t r ails. Choosing for our fir .t d a y a hike, marked in the guide book, A condition- ing climb, we started ont early in the morning. Before we had gone far our spirts were somewhat dampened, but we did finally reach Loch Vale, and the beautiful sight of a mountain lake with two glaciers in plain sight, completely surrounded by snow capped peaks, was breath taking. There are many beautiful roads through the park, but perhaps the most famous and the most beautiful is Trail Ridge Road. This is the highest continuous automobile road in America and one section extends for four miles over 12,000 feet in altitude, The road climbs to the very crest of the range and then follows the ridge. Looking down on the fioor of the valley below, automobiles on the highway look like ants moving along. Anyone who likes mountain scenery, who likes to hike, who enjoys horseback riding, or who likes any kind of outdoor life would i'ind a visit to Rocky Moun- tain Park most enjoyable. Bear Batting Averages Led by the consistent hitting of first baseman, Jim Hoffman,the Polar Bears nine has pounded out 67 hits out of 217 times at bat for a team average of .308.

VOX POP Dear Editor, Last Tuesday I heard Nelson Eddy sing, not really, but so it seemed when a member of the Miami University Glee Club burst forth in his rendition of the song about the green-eyed drag- on. The whole program was the most entertaining assembly period I had ever attended in my three years at Woodward. The student body evidently shared m y opinion becau se their attention reached perfection, and I am sure they were every bit as delighted with the gay melodies as I was. I feel safe to say that every Woodward- ite would heartily welcome their return. I hope-that it will be one we may look forward to in the near future. A Junior as o in Dear Editor, The senior prom was a success. But only because of the effort of both the students and faculty. We the members of the senior cabinet, wish to thank Mrs. Eula Upp, Mrs. Kathryn Dinius, Mrs. Kathryn Schuler, Mrs. Dorothy Matheny, Floyd Lords, and Joseph Dence for their helpfulness at the danc- ing classes and at the prom itself. And to the many students who par- ticipated in making the prom a very lasting and happy memory, we wish to express our gratitude. Thanks so much. The Senior Cabinet. n a s Dear Editor, Is it fair that juniors attend senior class meetings or vice-versa if th ey don't intend to be on their best behav- ior, and especially if they dontt attend their own class meeting when they are 9 called. Of course this practice is supposed to be prohibited but, as yet, the prob- lem of having only seniors in the senior class meeting and only juniors in the junior class meetings has not been solved. If these uninvited students would act properly and loyally attend their own class meetings, I can see no reason why this practice should be discontinlgedi Louis Em-m, '40 grad, hasn't forgotten his old Ama Mater.
