AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA -A--,L4-,AA fPage Tho-eel DEDICATION In the hope that this may express in some measure our appreciation, we of the Observer Annual for the students of Wooster High School wish to dedicate this book to Mr. Donald Welsh. Those who have had even the briefest acquaintance with Mr. Welsh are impressed with his friendly attitude, dry wit, and sage advice. His atmosphere of good will has been felt by both the faculty and the students. The junior Class especially has found him a willing and capable advisor. As Faculty Athletic Man' ager his untiring work has done much to promote Wooster High in the field of sports. Wooster High School realizes and appreciates the worth of Mr. Welsh. fPage Five f Page Sixj ANNUAL STAFF I Editorfinfcliief .......... ....... ..........

IN MEMORIAM JACK MYERS - 1922 - 1940 -lack Myers was a student at Wooster High School only one year, and yet in that relatively short time his friendliness, goodfnatured co' operation, and industry won him a place of esteem among the student body, the faculty, and especially the class of 1941. As a member of the 19394940 junior class he participated in many activities: band, choir, orchestra, operetta, General stall, annual staff, State Fair band, and HifY.

F aculty advisors ' ACTIVITIES: The Student Senate is composed of representatives elected at the I:Page Fo-ftyfsixj 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 reprcentatives report back to their home rooms matters that are pref sented by the various Senators and thus the Student Senate is a means of contact between the student body and the administrators. The Senate handles many matters which are of great importance to our school. This year class elections were carried out by the Senate, and a committee of Senate members planned the assembly programs. Such major projects as es' tablishing a corridor monitor system and the advisability of publishing a stu- dent's hand book were given much consideration during the school term. Action will be taken on these projects by next year's Student Senate. ll QD 4 Ilf Row Row 1-Dick Reiman, Mary Fitch, jean Fetzer, Ruth Clark, Nancy Taylor, Joyce Robison, Marjory Young, Louise Smit. 2-Ellen Kemp, Nadine Haun, Anne Wciser, Virginia Miller, jean Long, Emily Kuhles, William Miner, Betty Lou Good, Jean Dilgard, Bette Lee Matz.

Kean chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in NVooster High School. The students are chosen on a four point basis-scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Five percent of the class is chosen the second semester of the junior year, five percent, the first semester of the senior year, and five percent, the second semester of the senior year. Thus, fifteen percent is chosen from each class for membership in the National Honor Society. Scholarship is judged on the basis of grades made during the four years of high school. Only those ranking in the upper third of the class are eligible for membership. Rank in leadership is determined by the number of activity points pupils have earned by participating in various extrafcurricular activities in accordance with a definitely assigned number of points for each activity. Service and character are judged by a joint ranking of both students and faculty. From these rankings in scholarship, leadership, service, and character a composite ranking is made. Those who rank highest are elected as members in the National Honor Society. 0 B s E B ' V E R A N N U A L fPage Fortyfsevenj if II Qs 4 Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 O fPage Fortyfeightj -Harry Mykrantz, Andrew Weaver, Sam Bachtell, Margaret Chermely, John Foss, Patricia Hen Donn White.

The new 'LGeneral , ironically named junior , was the results of months of summerftime planning by an ambitious staff. The stubborn campaign for subscripf tions, lead by Business Manager Milton Switzer, insured us that Hjunioru was the new W. H. S, publication. Climax of the season was the winning of third place in the Columbia Scholf astic Press Associations national oontest, and the attending by the staff of the Northeastern Ohio Scholastic Journalists' convention at Kent State University. The papers success in the Columbia Press contest may be traced to the guidance of the faculty advisors, Miss Nesbitt and Mr. Moore. fPage Fortyfnine -k I fPage Fiftyjl I QI 41 ll ow ow Z l- -f-' Cholley, Boyer, Messner, Elliott.

A SQUAD: Fred Bowman, Carshall Carlisle, Kenneth Cohen, Al Zerby. FREEDLANDER CUP WINNER: Carshall Carlisle. ' ACTIVITIES: The debaters opened the contest season with only a mediocre record. It semed that no sweeping victories were to be made. Nevertheless, as the season progressed, the debaters won 149 debates and lost only 45, making an averf age of 7575 wins. The A team tied for first place in the district tournament at Mansfield. In an extra round held to break the tie, they defeated Shelby, who had tied with them, and thus qualified for the state contest. In the state contest they failed to reach the Hnals. In the National Forensic League tournament the debaters had a chance to qualify for the National tournament in Kentucky. Mr. Caldwell, the debate coach, is to be commended for his untiring efforts in helping the team. l:Page Fiftyfsevenj 'Q 41 II Row 1-Molly Shapiro, Row Zfjuanita Burton, Row 3- Betty lviorrison, Bill Miner, .lean Long.

' ACTIVITIES: Last year the Sophomore Speech club was organized by Miss Newman because of the great interest of the students to develop their abilities in speaking. This year they decided to continue the club with the ad' vanced name, Junior Speech club, and to inf clude in their program not only speech but also parliamentary law. Robert Busche was appointed parliamentarian and did a good job of keeping order. SOPHOMURE SPEECH CLUB PURPOSE: Learn to speak today, for it will stand you well tomorrow. ACTIVITIES: The Sophomore Speech club of this year was a continuation of the active freshman group of last year. About thirty sophomores met every other Thursday for a workout on pronunciation, enunciation, and other things necessary in order to be a good speaker. To make answering the roll call more inf interesting, the club members liked to answer with tongueftwisters or famous quotations. A few plays were produced by the club and pref sented for club programs. For other programs, members would speak before the club and receive criticisms, thus gaining much valuable speech experience. fPage Fiftyfeightjl Row 1-Winni Mayers, Marilyn- Spealman, Robert Miller, Marilyn Monroe, Edith Reynolds.

Noon meetings were held by the juntonians every Thursday. A temporary chairman was elected at each meeting in order to give all of the members a chance to preside at a meeting. Although there was a tense rivalry between the male and female members, and most of the business before the club was of a nonfserious nature, the members did learn parliamentary procedure in an inter' esting manner. Several members of the club attended State Senate Congress at Wadsworth on January 2425. At this session Richard Reiman was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the other Wooster High members gained valuable experience in using parliamentary procedure.

This organization is non' secret and nonfsocial, and concerns itself prinf cipally with the technicalities of drama. All the members are experienced dramatic artists who have advanced from the Soc and Buskin club by fulfilling the minimum requirements of either twofhundred lines or seventy lines and two backstage jobs.

The G. R. also gave baskets of food to needy families in our own city. Again this year a council, composed of the mothers of the G. R. members, was organized with Mrs. H. C. Young as president. Mrs. Phil Jackson served as vicefpresident, Mrs. Robert Tuck as second vicefpresident, Mrs. Curtis Douglass as secretary, and Mrs. J. E. Kuhles as treasurer. This council acted as an auxiliary organization to help the Girl Reserves accomplish what they wished to do. It sponsored the Christmas Tea, held on December 16, at which the G. R. AllfGirl Dance Orchestra was introduced and proved to be very popular. On March 17, the Council also sponsored the FatherfDaughter Banquet which was so successful that it will probably be an annual affair. The last meeting of the year, to be held at julia Shoolroy's home, will be the very impressive Senior Farewell, given annually by the junior girls for the grad- uating senior Girl Reserves. fPage Sixty thffeeil I 9 4 N Row RUXX' Row 3 Earl Reich, Richard Schmidt, Eldon Starr.

Page ACTIVITIES: This year the Industrial Arts club adopted the name Chippendale Craftsman club in honor of the famous artisan. The club provided an opportunity for those who like to work with tools to make projects which could not be made at home because of the lack of proper home equipment. The organization met twice a week during the sixth period, and the members worked on projects selected by themselves.

Appearing as soloist with the orchestra was Betty Lou Good in Bishop's Lol Here the Gentle Lark . The concert also fcaf tured Ellen Miller and Jacqueline Morris in a violin duet. On March 22 the orchestra reeeived a II rating at the district music conf test at Kent. This rating qualified them for the state contest, which was held at Columbus on April 19. This year the orchestra did something quite different when it broadcast over WTAM on the afternoon of April 26. The orchestra of 194-Of41 performed its last bit of service to the school by furnishing the music for baccalaureate and commencement. fPage Seventyffomil II QD 41 Il Row l Row 2 Row 3 Row 4 Row 5 Row Charlotte Dow, Dorothy Haucnstein, Margaret Sherrick, Nancy Conn, Dick Grady, Wlard Borison, Ruth Clark, Alton Way, Dean Grosjean, Alvin Swinehart, Bill Phillips, Ron Yuncker, Margaret Shreve, Mr. Franks. fMiriam Langell, Frank McClure, Sam Bacrtcll, Helen Tate, Milly Smit, Elmer Cook, Lowell Shaffer, Arlyn Neiswander, Thomas Mykrantz, Bob Edwards, Eugene Hagerman, Richard jones.

CTIVITIES: With its usual gusto, the band swung into its football year. Then at the concert on February 27, it presented a performance of which its members and director might well be proud. Walter Clouser, playing A Carnival of Venice , a clarinet trio, and a trumpet trio gave variety to the program. 'LCoriolan Overture by Beethoven and Richard III Qverture by German were the two selections for which the band received a II rating at the district music contest on March '22, On the afternoon of April 13 the band led the parade of the Knights Templar of Northeastern Uhio. This year, as is the custom, the Memorial Day Parade was again led by the band. The Band Mothers' club presented the band with fifteen new military uni' formsg and a new tuba, which was a gift of the Board of Education, was added to the band this year. The Band Mothers' club also sponsored a benefit movie in Gctober, gave an all-school dance on March 28, and cooperated with the band in all its activities. fPage Seventy Jive ik II so 4 II Row Row Row Row l-ldella Harter, Margaret Hayes, Lovina Parmetcr, janet jackson, Bob Busche, Winifred Mayers, Marilyn Spealman, Patsy Bricker, Mary Christian.

Playing their home games on the remodeled and reconditioned Maurer Field, the boys went unbeaten for ive games until they fell before Canton Lehman. After winning one and losing one more, the Generals closed the season with a very creditable performance against Orrville, although they lost 13f7. This game marked the last chapter in the scholastic gridiron careers of such stars as Captain Don Heckman, Harry Smith, Bill Kistler, Earl Reich, Matt Jackson, Francis Grassman, Carshal Carlisle, Frank Letizia, Calvin MacGillivray, George Miller, Bob Stellwagon, and Melvin Hites. One fact that made this season an unusual one was the changing of head coaches in midfseason. With Mr. Winsper's leaving for army service, Bernard Bicky Bresson was forced to take up the reins.

Handicapped hy inexperienee and lack of practice time, the Generals got off to a poor start hut finished the season in fine style with four triumphs in their last six games. These victories included a decision over the strong Canton St. johns quintet and two wins from our archfrival, Orrville. Inaccurate shooting seemed to he the chief trouhle with the team even though they usually played a fine floor game. Time and again, games were lost simply hecause the opposition made a larger percentage of their shots. Although Wooster loses Captain Wilhur Crasshaugh, Wzilter Ivlumaw, Cal MacGillivray, and Boh Stellwagon hy graduation, prospects for next year are much hrighter with four lettermen and some good reserve material returning.

However, hounded by sickness and ineligibility, the tankers dropped seven of their last eight meets. Led by Captain Charles Mock, the Generals won meets from Akron South, Akron West, and the College Freshmen, and dropped meets to such teams as Canton McKinley, Mansfield, and Fremont Ross, the state champions. With only two of eight lettermen returning next year, the Generals will lose Captain Mock, Bob MacDowell, Matt Jackson, Walter Clouser, George Miller, and Ed Frick by graduation.

BASEBALL Although the baseball team is handicapped by inexperience and ineligibility, the Generals have started to secure victories and apparently are on their way to a successful season. With but two lettermen, Benny Iannarelli and Frank Letizia, returning to action this year, there was a widefopen scramble for the remaining positions. However, the linefups for most of the games this year will probably read something like this: Ross Cody will probably do most of the catching with Iannarelli and Letizia alternating on the mound and at shortfstopg Jim Beachy will cover first with either Gene Tarpley or Duke Roy on second and Dick Walton on third. Inexperience makes the outfield the big question mark but Bob Byler, John Guzzo, and Joe Calabria will probably have the irst bids. With such teams as Canton McKinley, Western Reserve Academy, and Louisville on their schedule, the Generals meet some of the strongest competition in this area. In addition to the varsity, there are also two reserve teams which compete with some of the smaller schools in this district. fPage Eighty-threej II QI 41 II v Row ZA- Row 37 1 th, Grassman, Kistler, Weaver.

The purpose of the club is to furf ther water safety and swimming instructions in Wooster High School, and in camps, pools, or lakes where these girls may work as life savers during the summer. The outstanding activity of the club members is to serve as assistant teachers in the girls' swimming classes. As a result, more individual attention can be given to the swimmers. This year many former junior lifefsavers took the senior lifefsaving course. The annual big party of the Dolphin members, which includes the initiation of new members, followed by a swimming party and dinner, was held this year at the home of Dot Davis.

YALE-HARVARD ALL-STAR BASKETBALL 9 ACTIVITIES: As usual there were more girls out for basketball than other sports, and as usual there was much excitement about the annual YalefHarvard Allfstar conflict. Dot Davis led her Harvard team to victory, the score being 42'22, while the Yale team, captained by Doris Schaaf, offered its opponent plenty of resistance. Because of a shortage of second team players, there was but one second Allfstar team chosen. jean Long was elected captain. Charlotte King did an efficient job of Allfstar management, which made both the game and the dance afterwards move smoothly. The final outcome in the class championship tournament gave the juniors vicf tory over the seniors. The tie was played off in a closefheated game and the juniors smashed through with a one-point lead. SENIOR G. A. A. SPORTS BOARD ' CContinued from Page 851 U ACTIVITIES: The G. A. A. Sports Board is the governing body of the Girls' Athletic Association. It is composed of officers, class representatives, and athletic managers, and is under the supervision of the athletic director, Miss White. This board met every other Friday to discuss informally the various activities and to assist Miss White in arranging and carrying out the plans for different sport seasons. This year the board sold the tickets for the boys' basketball games, and this, along with the sale of schedule pencils, furnished money to help purchase awards and athletic equipment. GIRLS' W ASSOCIATION 9 ACTIVTIES: The members of the Association are girls who have received their letter by earning 75 0 points by participation in various sports. W bracelets are awarded to the members accumulating 1200 points, and for each additional 100 points a bracelet charm is presented. This year the membership rose to 25 girls. Every year more girls are becoming interested in the athletic program. This organization was founded to foster good sportsmanship in all school activities and to further the sports program. The high spots of the year include special initiations, a tea dance, and a refresh' ment stand at the county basketball tournament. The W girls will end this year's activities with a week of camping at Chippewa Lake. fPage Eighty-seven II Ol 4 Il Row l-Doris Davenport, Mary Alice Kistler, Ruth Clark, Nancy Taylor, jean Fisher, Betty Eichar, Dorothy Davis.

SENIOR HIGH ALL-STAR SOCCER U ACTIVITIES: For the past six years the outcome of the All-star Soccer games has always been a tie, but the jinx was finally broken last November when Navy, captained by Jean Fisher, sailed past Nancy Taylor's Army with a victory of 2fO in the annual soccer allfstar game. This year's game was very ably managed by Ellen Kemp. In the race for class championship the senior girls nosed out the juniors and sophomores and carried off the trophy. It wasn't easy because all teams offered plenty of competition. With the help of the athletic director the games were planned by Marguerite Bridenstine, allfschool manager. OTHER SPORTS Baseball was the last sport of the school year. Doris Schaaf, the manager, planned a class tournament and an allfstar game to wind up the athletic program for 194Of41. Georgene Keim conducted the pingfpong tournament which was not able to be completed before spring vacation. Dot Davis and Ruth Clark had the final bout in the tennis tournament to deter' mine the allfschool champion. Hockey was postponed from the fall to the spring because of a lack of time. This sport is a comparatively new one in Wooster and only senior high girls enjoy the privilege of participating. Modern dance, for juniors and seniors only, offers the girls lesson in rhythm and body movement. This year the program was cut very short because there was no conf venient time for practice. Some of the other activities enjoyed by the girls interested were volleyball, deck tennis, hiking, tumbling, and lifefsaving. fPage Eighty-eightj Row l-Y Row 2-f JUNIOR HIGH SPORTS BOARD 0 OFFICERS: Dorothy Smith ...., Betsy Scott .............

Heiress Mar-ries Russian Count Une of the most beautiful of this season's June weddings was that of Elizabeth Kelly, popular debutante, heiress to the famous Kelly glue millions, to Count Calvino MacGillivrayf ovitch, Russian ambassador to the United States. Miss Kelly wore ivory satin and pearls with a fingertip tulle veil extending from a pearl Juliet cap. Her maid of honor, Sue Graven, wore old rose with a shirred bodice and tulle skirt. Her three bridesmaids, Opal Snyder, Muriel Wilson, and Jean Dilgard, wore dresses of carnation pink. The flower girl, Miss Mildred Donaldson, carried the ring on a halffopen lily.

Miriam Neely, vocalist on the Alton Turman Variety program, likes a, nice white dress with elbow puffed sleeves for an afternoon function. Barbara Franks, New York model, says that silk or rayon print is the coolest, but also the hardest to keep fresh. Ruth DeLuco, Washington, D.C. stylist says that dotted swiss with ruffles may be fussy but it makes for a cool feeling. As to men's fashion, Walter Mumaw, Holly' wood clothing expert, is a mite inclined toward hopsacking slacks, no matter what the occa- sion. Anthony Sandore says he should wear more formal and he'll take a tan twill coat with white ducks for afternoon. Then there's the conservative view taken by Donald Smith, whose wife is on the Smith faculty. He likes a grey suit, wool, with white shoes. Why be comfortable? he asks. ALL BABIES CRY FOR DR.

Ourrdef fense program has maintained for the last ten years, ,Wa record among all nations, a record for the planning and carrying out of a defense program second to no other country. The reason for this? Simply the willing coop' eration of millions of loyal Americans. A few examples of cooperation will show what loyal Americanism is. Millard Aufrance, manufacturer of the Aufrance Airplanes, has given onefhalf his factory over for defense purposes. Steve Chizmadia, present head of the O. P. M., announced that 9 out of every 10 airplane manufacturers were doing this very thing. I The United States now maintains an army of 1,000,000,000 men. Among officers of high rank are Richard Gray, Norman Mowrer, and Francis Letizia. The surprising thing about these four men is that they are all giving their services to our glgvernment. In other words, they are dollarfa3year men in our army. An interesting thing was noted in training at Camp Craig, North Carolina, General Rob' ert Anderson peeling potatoes. Even the high' er officers, or at least some of them, do their share of the housework. But women also do their part in defending America. Training camps must have nurses. Miss Priscilla Whitaker, Miss Marjorie Rouhf ier, and Miss Lois Schaffter have taken over 'Yom' Rugs Will Look Cleaner With RITTER RUG RITE KIEL KAR KLEANER Eliminate the ache that always follows a job on your car.

In the Bureau of War Clothing are Mary' ella Lichty, chairman, Lois Snyder, and Esther Spade. These along with many others see that our soldiers are dressed well. The War' Clothing Bureau. has announced the opening of a new factory exclusively for knitting stockings for encamped soldiers. Joseph Calabria is' at head with Vergil Fickes Hrst vicefpresident in charge of Stocking Sizes. Howard Hoffman is second vicefpresident in charge of Khaki Mittens. Fred Smith is em' ployment manager -:with Frances Brumter un' der him as Teacher of the Industry. Among his assistants are Jean Coppola, Maxine Snyf der, Elsie Moretti and Virginia Miller. Womenis World of Sports Dorothy Davis, former Olympic Champ, is now swimming with Billy Rose's aquacade. With the same show is Eleanor Hastings. Speaking of Olympic Champions, it seems, at the present time, that Mary Frances Lee, Sylvia Vichich, and Kathryn Morr stand good chances of representing the United States in the next contest in their fieldls - swimming, diving, and tennis. b'Cleora Muehleisen, who holds the record of fastest woman back strokerv, is now teachf ing in New York and will probably refrain from future contest work. Marguerite Bridenstine and Mariam Evans will soon leave for South America where they will meet the famous women's tennis team at Rio de Janeiro. - :::::::::::po4:::::::::::::: The SMITH Grocery RICHLIEU PRODUCTS and BIRD,S EYE FROSTED FOODS Phones: 8 and 346 w F ,fa Z .
