F aculty advisors 0 ACTIVITIES: As the Class of 1940 completes its last year in Wooster High School, fPage Fowrteenjl it can look back with pride at what it has done for the school, and with gratitude for what the school has done for it. Every student is better prepared to take his place in the world than he was four years ago, and we hope Wooster High School has benefited from the contributions which every student has made. Some students of 1940 have brought state and nationfwide recognition to themselves and the school through outstanding work in their particular field. Because of President Hovvey Schmid's outstanding personality and leadership, and because of Social chairman Bill Taylor's ability for planning and arranging parties, the Class of 1940 enjoyed several getftogethers. The other officers should be commended for their excellent work. Our advisors, Miss French and Mr. Old' rnan, proved very helpful when assistance was needed.

F aculty advisors O fPage Fortyfsixj ACTIVITIES: The Student Senate is composed of representatives elected at the beginning of the school year by the students of each home room. This representaf tive group of the student body makes it possible for our principal, Mr. Smucker, to present certain problems or gather the reaction of the school on certain policies, The representatives gather opinions, desires, and constructive criticism from their home rooms, and these matters are discussed in the Senate and a solution is sought. The representatives report back to their home rooms matters that are presented by the various Senators and thus the Student Senate is a means of contact bef tween the student body and the administrators. The Senate handles many matters which are of great importance to our school. For instance, class elections are always carried out by the Senate, and the assembly programs are planned by a committee picked from Senate members. These two things are just a sample of the work done by the Senate, but all in all it does much to encourage and promote the general welfare of the school. Mr. Booher and Miss Bowers are the advisors of the club. Observer Annual 1940 Row Row Row Row Row PURPOSE: To foster a deeper l--'jane Lauhach, Mary' Nlinder, Lillian Shafer.

Even in this organization the seniors haven't grown up enough to forget about food. Their meetings were held every two weeks. These meetings were informal suppers at which German conversation was stressed. Regular social events were also a part of the club's program. In many of these the members united with the junior cluh. Among their many social activities was a box social in the fall, a dinner at the Fish Bowl in March, and a Christmas party at which German songs were sung.

' ACTIVITIES: Here is an organization that deserves everybody's attention. In the first place its membership was very large. Some one hundred and thirty girls met every other Monday evening. With such a number nothing could be done without subdivision, so there were six squads formed, two from each class. Each squad had approximately thirty girls who were responsible to their squad leader who in turn was responsible to the squad chairman. This year a council made up of the mothers with Mrs. Lyons as president was organized. These women aided the girls a great deal, sponsoring them in everything they did. fPage Sixtyfonefl Observer Annual - 1940 TOP GROUP Row 1-.lean Long, Virginia Hoffman, Peggy Douglass, Molly Shapiro, Margaret Shreve, julia Amster.

In each meeting something inspirational was given to the girls. Then there were good times for all in the song fests that followed.

With the proceeds derived from the sale of ribbons and refreshments in connection with the football games, the club helped the school and community in many ways during the year. The I'IifY alumni dance, which is now definitely an annual affair, was held during Christmas vacation. At Christmas, baskets of food were distributed to several needy families in the community. An Easter chapel program was pref sented by the club to both the senior and junior high chapel assemblies. A mother and son banquet was held in the spring. During the year, meetings were made interesting by obtaining outside speakers and staging novel programs. The club sent representatives to the HifY conference at Youngstown the first three days of December, The I'IifY and Cr.

The dramatic club has taken this idea and it has become their theme. By trying out at the beginning of the school year the dramatic students were admitted to the club according to their ability. They learned the art of acting and producing plays and made reports on plays they went to see in Cleveland. They had a lot of fun at their metings, especially when they practiced applying make-up. iismlf Row 1 -fBob Straub, Mary Minder, Howey Schmid, Lillian Shafer, Marjorie Young, Row 2 fS1illy Stark, Bill Taylor, Ivfarilyn Miller, Pat Zaring, Mary' Fitch.

Not recovering from this upset, the hoys were hewildered hy Canton Lehman and Dennison hefore finishing the season with sterling perform' ances against Orrville and Dover.

With seven hoys on the squad who had played together since they were freshmen, the team had visions of a successful season. Wlielr the season ended, however, the Generals were the possessors of a dismal record of five wins and thirteen defeats. lnconsistency was the main trouhle with the team.

Playing a type of baseball which is highly creditable to Wtnoster High School, the 1940 baseball team has started to secure victories in every game. Through the courtesy of the American Legion the squad has been outfitted in new uniforms, which improve the appearance of the team tremendously. Besides the varsity, there are two resrve teams playing a complete schedule of games with the county Class B teams. The starting pitchers, who have alternated in the iniield when not on the mound, are Frank Letizia, Ben Iannarelli, and Harry Smith. With Captain jim Berry and Don Gerlaugh splitting the work behind the plate the team has had excellent receiving. The infield is composed of weak hitters but classy fielders with Bob Douglass on first, Harry Smith on second, Ben Iannarelli on short, and Dick Vkfalton covering the hot corner. Catching the long flies are three football men, Hal Dean, Roger Stone' burner, and Bill Kistler. Meeting such teams as Canton McKinley, Alliance, Westcrim Reserve Academy, and Barberton, the Generals cannot be expected to win them all, but it is a sure fact that they will finish high in accomplishments. fPage Ezghtgll l R Observer Ann Row 1 Ed Hignight, Ed Holden, Captain ,lim Taylor, Iinh lVI:lcDowcll, junior XVehb.

If a girl earns 1200 points, she is then awarded a UNVH bracelet and for each 100 points after that she is given a charm for her bracelet. The organization was founded in 1920 by a group of girls who wanted to further the sports program and foster a spirit of good sportsmanship in all school activities. By selling refreshments at the county basketball tournament, the girls earn money to buy equipment for the sports program. This year the girls entertained the aluninae members with an alumnae bridge at the home of Miss Rahl.
