STUDENT SENATE The school's duly elected representative body met once every two weeks. Throughf out the year the senate sponsored the sale of war stamps, and, if the amount of energy shown by the senators is any indication, the drive was a success. The student activity tickets were also sold and distributed through the senate. As usual the senate was in charge of conducting elections for class officers and sponsored every school dance. During the year they made up new social rules for the school dances which were accepted after some discussion and deliberation. Mr. Reynolds Overbeck presented them to the students in a talk in chapel. V Near the end of the year a committee of the senate discussed and encouraged the adoption of a code of ethics. Ed Abramson was chairman of this group. The final copy of the code had not been adopted as the annual went to press. The code is not to be too generalized but is to contain points particularly fitted for Wooster high school. The success of this code can best be determined next year, but it is not too early to hope that it will be a constant guide and reminder for students of each class. Bill Martin ..., ...,.....

Kean chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in Wooster high school. The students are chosen on a four point basis- scholarship, leadership, service, and character, Five per cent of the class is chosen the second semester of the junior yearg five per cent, the Hrst semester of the senior yearg and Hve per cent, the second semester of the senior year. Thus, fifteen per cent 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. Qnly those ranking in the upper third of the class are eligible for mem, bership. Rank in leadership is determined by the number of extrafcurricular activities in which the students participate. A definitely assigned number of points is given for each activity. A summary is made of all activities. 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.

JUNTO CLUB junto cluh is an honorary organization which admits only presidents of classes or cluhs, speech students with N. F. L. degrees of distinction, and a few others who are thus eligihle. Meetings were held usually every Thursday noon at which time a temporary chairman was elected to preside fthus giving all memhers a hetter chance to learn parliamentary procedure. All forms of interesting and hilarious hills and motions were introduced, discussed, and either passed or defeated. The following is an example of the hrilliant ideas that were conceived in the minds of these memhcrs, One day, during school, hecause of a hreak in the hotfair heating system, heavy, strangling smoke hegan pouring into many of the classrooms from the registers. Therefore, at the next junto meeting a motion was introduced to present to the custodians as a gift from junto cluh several valuahle water pistols, These were to he used to put out any further hazardous fires in the huilding. Bill Martin, president of the student senate, was elected to present these to the custodians. This he graciously did at the next assembly. Many memhers of junto eluh attended the State Student Congress which was held in Wimtuster on April 6, 7, 8, In the House of Representatives junto's prexy, Ed Ahramson, was elected as the outstanding presiding officer, and Dave Funk was runnerfup for the outstanding speaker of the floor. In addition, all other Wtiiistei' speakers received valuahle experience in using parliamentary procedure. Ed Ahranison .i... ,.,,......, P resident Frank McClure .... .....

The adviser chosen was Miss Gwenneth Foss, who was teaching her first year in Wooster high school. The club's honorary adviser is Miss Grace Deems. The club was organized with the purpose of promoting interest in secretarial work and in learning the d0's and don't's of being a secretary. This year the members printed the G. R. programs, material for Student Congress, and the weekly menus for the cafeteria. Various guest speakers were part of the program for the meetings of the club held at the homes of different members. One of the most outstanding cvcnts of thc year was the secretarial project in which the girls for four weeks gained actual training in offices of Wcioster businessmen. For the papcrfscrap drive the girls managed to collect over a ton in two evenings. Club pins were also a new feature this year. President Marjorie Blougli .... Marjorie Lahm .... ............

Breaking a tradition of presenting a threefact play in the fall, the Soc and Buskin cluh enacted three onefact plays of varying content. The Hrst was a Civil Wzir drama entitled The Clodv. The second, ujacoh Comes Home , was a presentfday drama showing stark tragedy coming to a German family. The third was Antic Spring , a lively comedy telling the trials of six young people as they attempt a spring picnic. A one-act play The Valiant went on tour of the city with a cast of five people headed hy Deane Ferm. This was enthusiastically received hy all audiences, In May the spring play was the Hart and Kaufman hilarious comedy George Wzishingtcuii Slept Here , presented hy a cast of fourteen seniors and three juniors. Meetings were in charge of veteran senior cluh memhers, who spoke in detail ahout the mysteries of stage movement, stage husiness, the art of control of attention. and scenic art in the theatre. Night meetings were held at the homes of memhers and guest speakers lectured to dramatic hopefuls. The cluh's multaftalented adviser, Professor Overheck, discussed the theory of acting as endorsed hy the Russian theatre of art. The advisers have felt that the cluh year was a success not only hecause the plays were triumphs hut also hecause more students were given the opportunity to learn ahout stage work in order to carry on for those who graduate this year.

SENIOR HI-Y This year the first chapel program was directed by the Senior HifY club. To keep up the morale of the spectators, club members sold various and sundry refreshf ments at all the football games. Everyone will remember the HifY boys' persistence which soon forced all students to buy those snappy football ribbons. Halibut a nice iish fry at the park? f f that cod help a lot, the boys decided, so members and their guests partook of much sea food on that occasion. The annual Christmas dance was held at St. Marys gym on Christmas night. Again in a dancing mood, the boys sponsored a Remember Pearl Harbor dance in the high school gym which added another leaf to their laurcls. The huge sum of 55100.00 for the baseball team was made at the Boys' Jamboree, which was unusually well attended. Another commendable deed which should be recognized is the foresight and patriotism shown by the Senior HifY members when they purchased two war bonds and two memberships in the Board of Trade. The boys helped in the scrapfdrivc collecf tion. The club had charge of the Easter service for the senior and junior assemblies. The Millersbury and Loudonville Hi-Y clubs got a taste of the senior boys' hrawn when they were initiated by them in the spring.

Guest speakers, open discussions, and recreational gatherings made up a great part of their programs. Besides these, joint meetings were held with the other HifY clubs in order to become better acquainted with the members of the other clubs. Junior HifY also carried on many activities for the benefit of the school. They collected a large amount of scrap paper and made a generous donation to the Red Cross. To earn money for the club, refreshments were sold at the basketball and at one of the football games. These refreshments were greatly appreciated by energetic fans who had worn themselves out in their enthusiasm and felt the need of nourishment to carry on. The boys owe much to their adviser and friend Mr. Arthur Borg, director of the Wtmcmster Y.M.C.A., who helped make this year a successful one. Berman Shafer .... ...,,...........

SOPHOMURE HI-Y This year's Sophomore Hi-Y feels that the club has had one of the best seasons. At the beginning of the year, the members sold soft drinks at the junior high basketball games. Since they were interested in making more money, the sophomore boys sponf sored a tea dance, but not being hardfhearted profiteers, they charged only one nickel as admission. This popular price attracted scores of people but when customers heard the strains of the records that john Weiser had contributed, they immediately under' stood the reason for the low admission price. The Hi-Y accomplished much during the collection of scrap paper because of everyones enthusiasm and willingness to work. The club owes a great part of the credit for a profitable year to their advisers, Mr. Bob jameson and Mr. Earl Gray. Dick Harris ..,...,. Bud Van Lieu .Ioe Retzler ..,.,, Lloyd R0lIl1lCl4 ,,.,.. .

At Thanksgiving each girl presented her conception of the season. Most of the other programs were spent in discussing women's service orf ganizations and other war activities in which women can participate. The cluh gave a Valentine party in collaboration with the F. F. A. chapter. On April 21, the girls in the clothing classes presented a style show in the auditorium emphasizing the conservation of clothing and appropriate styles for the high school girl.

Approximately eighty voices comprised this year's organization, The choir bravely rocked on tottery risers as they sang two numbers at the Thanksgiving assembly. Traditionally the choir was a part of the annual Christmas Sing and added much to the holiday spirit with the rendition of three appropriate selections. After vacation, members of the choir joined forces with the girls' glee club and orchestra to present The Fireflyn on March 15, 16 and 17. Seven weeks of intensive rehearsal seemed to be amply sufficient, for the operetta was a commendable triumph. A joint spring concert with the band and orchestra concluded the year's work. The final and perhaps the most notefworthy number on the program was L'The Voice of Freedom by Rubinstein, featuring the choir and band. The final appearance for the choir was at the Commencement exercises. Tearful senior choir members sang heartily for the last time as members of the school's largest musical organization.

The cluh participated in the annual Christmas sing and provided sacred music for the Christmas assemhly. To start the new year right the glee cluh joined with the a capella choir to Hgure as a choral hackground for the operetta 'The Firefly . All musical organizations are to he commended, for without them the operetta could not have been the success that it was. The glee cluh added to the dignity of the Baccalaureate service when they appeared for the last time.

Un Friday, Nov. 19, the orchestra assisted the Soc and Buslcin eluh in presenting three onefaet plays. A few weeks later, they presented a chapel program: later they played for Thanksgiving assemhly. Under the constant threat of losing their maestro to Uncle Sznn, the orehestra had to rehearse at 7:45 in the morning hefore regular claxes. Vsfhen The Firefly was linally chosen as the annual operetta, the orchestra atf tended tht- nightly rehearsals. The organization can well he commended for the ex- cellent jolw ot' accompanying that they did. After spring vacation, the g1i'oup's talents were turned to preparing for a spring concert which featured the comhined efforts of the orchestra, hand, and a capella choir, The orchestra displayed its wellfdivided talents in the heautiful Clock Symphony and Scenes Alsaciennes hy jules Massenet. This part of the program was ended in a lighter vein with selections from Tha Three Musketecrsl' hy Rudolph Friml. It is hoped that Mi'. Franks will still he here next year to continue as fine work as was accomplished this year. l'lRST VIULINS Nlcliolas Znppas, jaequeline Morris, jane Tlllord, lflorenee lfollis, lvlaltha Ann Urahood.

As usual the hand performed at all the foothall games where many extrafordinary formations were displayed at halfftime. Homecoming should he especially mentioned as the hand divided into three parts to play a musical role in a pageant that was presented in honor of the Homecoming queen. The hand provided music for the Pearl Harhor rally, numerous hond rallies, and other patriotic gatherings, not to mention all the school pep rallies. Since the operetta The Fireflyu took a great many of the hand's practices, a large spring concert was practically impossihlc, Consequently, the hand, orchestra, and a capella choir comhined their talents to give a joint concert the second week of May. This was concluded hy Ruhinsteins Voice of Freedom in which the choir, hand, and orchestra added a dramatic finish to the program. Featured on the hand's part of the program were the wellfknown Toccata and Fuguc in D minor hy Bach and the Czech Rhapsody hy Weiiiherger. These were presented in splendid style which seemed to hear out Mr. Franks's helief that this ycar's hand was one of the finest.

NATIONAL FUBENSIC LEAGUE These four pictures depict the memhers of the Vsfooster chapter of the National Forensic League. In order, these pictures represent achievement. The first group shows the Degree of' Distinction, highest honor that NFL can give. Next highest is the Degree of Excellence, then Honor, then Merit. To reach the highest degree, speakers must have earned at least 150 points in interscholastic speech competition, 100 points are required for the Degree of Exf cellence, WU for Honor, and 20 for memhership and Merit. For seven consecutive years Wcuauster had led the nation as the strongest NFL chapter. Starting out this year far down in the list, our chapter again forged to the front, had added 120 members and degrees hy April, and was leading the country. David Funk captured the Ohio extemporaneous speaking championship, Verne Snyder scored top honors in the District and NFL tournaments in humorous reading, and many other individual honors came to our speakers. Evelyn Horne was first in the State League District in oratorical declamation, Pat Miller was second in dramatic declamation, .Ioan Seifert was third in the same event, Ed Ahramson took first in oratory, and Shirley Smith was third in the same event. Ed took third in the state finals and Shirley fourth. In the NFL District tournament, Verne Snyder took Vsfoosteifs only championship. To the dehaters went third place, third to Ed Ahramson in oratory, third to John Yoder in extemporancous speaking, fourth to David Funk in oratorical declamation, and fourth to Pat Miller in dramatic declamation, For the first time in years, the team fell to third place in the field of 14 schools. The Eastern Ohio Student Congress was held in Vxfooster April WS, and 93 were seated in the House, '24 in the Senate. It was the largest Congress yet held.

To David Funk went the wooden gavel as the second most eff fective speaker from the floor of the House during the Congress sessions. The National Student Congress was held in Columbus on April 2829. David Funk represented our school in the Senate. In the House were seated Evelyn Horne, Ed Abramson, john Yoder, and Verne Snyder. As this yearbook went to press it was still to be seen whether our representatives in the National Congress could win the awards which came to Wooster last year at Indianapolis. At that time, Ioan Huber won the coveted gavel as the outstanding Speaker of the House for the week, David Funk ranked second in the house for effective speaking from the floor, and thc same honor went to Edward Funk in the Senate. Fourteen seniors from this year's chapter are leaving. They will be missed greatly next year. Back are forty NFL members and a large group of other speakers holding points towards NFL membership. From the large and successful junior High speech group will be added a strong group of coming speech champions. One of the highlights of the year was the fourteenth annual Wiucister NFL banquet. It was the thirty-third consecutive speech banquet without a break, a tribute to the longfstandingi place of distinction which speech has occupied in Vxfooster high school.

JUNIORIHGH DEBATE A strong group of junior High debaters competed weekly during the year, aiming at the annual Junior High tournament and the championship awards that went with it. Ed Abramson and Raymond Chittum were the Senior High coaches of these debaters. As a result of their efforts, a goodly group of dehaters will move on in quest of places on the senior teams representing the high school. To George Funk and Phillips Cutright went the team honors in the tournament and the trophies. It was the strongest debate competition in the junior High in years.

Several of the group competed in regular high school practice tournaments and either made NFL membership or points towards membership. Evelyn Horne and Weldtin Kerr were the advisers of the orators, Both are experienced orators. Evelyn tied for first place in the State League in oratorical declamaf tion this year, and Weldcnn is a past Junior High oratory champion.

Several new reading stars appeared this year. Besides Joanne Russell and Doris Monroe, there were Don Butdorf, Barhara Weird, Williziiii Bushnell, and Dwight Wehh.

SENIOR FRENCH CLUB While September weather was still warm and sunny, ambitious French students held informal classes in the park surrounded by works of nature and Miss Anne Rodgers. The club's first business meeting consisted of an election of club officers for the year. This resulted in the unanimous appointment of Mlle. Hauenstein as president. Under the capable leadership of Mlle. Hauenstein, eleven seniors assembled at the domicile of M. Arlyn Neiswander for their first night meeting on December 16. After the business meeting, a fascinating entertainment was presented in the form of a French radio program displaying the talent of several ingenious but nameless members of the club. This was enjoyed immensely by a rather depleted audience, namely, Mlle. Rodgers and M. Ray King. M. Samuel Bachtell received fellowfmembers at his home in February for an evening of music ranging from French opera to nursery rhymes. By unanimous consent, the syncopation of T. Dorsey ended the program. In the spring, the club concluded its year with a delicious buffet supper, served by their generous nprofesseur de Francais.

JUNIOR SPANISH CLUB First year Spanish students organized the junior Spanish club at the beginning of the year. The members started out in a noble way by learning how to count up to ten, A few found this practice so intriguing that they have not passed that stage yet. About the middle of the year the members started, with the aid of the illustrious senior Spanish students, to teach some Mexicans to speak English. These men had just arrived in Wooster to help work on the railroad. Une thing ultimately leads to anotherg soon these ambitious juniors were instructing in the fine art of jitterfbugging. The juniors and seniors helped considerable in aiding PanfAmerican relations, according to their club adviser. They ended the year by learning to count to eleven.

While the memhers consumed howls of chili, they practiced using German in their tahle conversation. Quite often, though, the German strangely heeame very definite English. After supper, word games were played in which the students employed German words instead of English. This helped greatly to huild up their vocahularies. Later in the year, Fraulein Marian Rohr was hostess to her fellow cluh memhers.

After one year of studying the Romans and their customs last year, the cluh members had some very entertaining ideas for making their programs for this year more enjoyable. Hilarity usually reigned at club meetings even though digniied officers presided and tried to set a good example. Leaning toward the dramatic side, the memlwers gave a play depicting lives of the Romans. The year was closed for these students hy a final meeting of hailfandffarewell in the form of a picnic.

FRESHMAN LATIN CLUB The Latins of the school seem to favor box socials because firstfyear students started their club year with one. The puellae of the club worked diligently to prepare appef tizing lunches and the pueri raised enough money to buy them. During the Christmas season, each member brought his own lunch to the club's Christmas meetingl When they had finished dinner, members sang carols in Latin. On April 17, the club gave a play spoken in Latin based on the myth of Circe for the Classical club, at the College of Wcxmster. Veteran fourth year students took part in the program also by enacting the Fifth Book of Vergils' Aeneid. The acting was all pantomime while a narrative was read.

They co- operated because of the shortage of lahor with community apple and potato growers hy helping to pick these crops. Besides this they bought 351400 worth of Wzir Bonds and donated S6 to the Red Cross. john Herpel and Floyd Mumaw, both of whom were graduated last year, had the honor of heing appointed as State Farmers.

THESPIAN SOCIETY Professing one of the most unique initiation rites of any school club, the Thespians welcome fellowfmembers near the end of each school year. Thespian is a nonfsecret and non-social organization except fer the formal banquet and initiation which is an anticipated part of the club's activities, Members are advanced students of drama who have earned ten points W- a requirement for admittance into the organization. These points may be earned by participation in school plays, work backstage. or acting in plays other than at scheol, During the year more points can be gained in this manner: four for a minor role, eight for a major role, four for committee or crew work, eight for heading a committee. An Honor Thespian reaches the heights for forty points and is awarded the Thespian pin at the close of the school year.

Gosh, we certainly will miss him! The sophs took a beating in the sack rush, too. They fought hard, but who wouldn't surrender under the impact of 200 pounds of Bo Wilsoii? Our valiant freshies were gallantly cheered by their loyal feminine counterparts. Lois Bresson is wasting her time here. Surely the Hogcallers' Union could find a spot for those stentorian lungs.

Of course, the Red Riders beat us by a little matter of 13 points to our 7, but my honesty in recording this will perhaps help to prove that this diary is not entirely propaganda. Anyway, our team has-done plenty all right this year, with five wins, one O-O tie, and just three hardffought defeats. FEBRUARY 20, 1941 When not in Rome, do as the Romans do f at least now and anon. But on the other hand, it isn't so easy to eat spaghetti while reclining on the left elbow! The Latin club banquet was certainly realistic, though. Live and learn they say. Well, the featured gladiatorial combat conclusively proved at least one thing--Webb Russell does have blood, despite appearances to the contrary. jim Wilson, the victor, put an end to the misery of his victim with the approval of every spectator but one fah, well, take Hart, girl, the battle was only a fake. Gilbert Pricstly should go into the oracle businessg he could make a fortune telling fortunes. However, if mine comes true, I think I will leap quietly into Lake Erie or some other body of water. MARCH 4, 1941 Look, father, no voice! This time it was the Junior High Colonels' last game of the season. Only one defeat. We certainly have a lot of good material to offer the varsity basketball team next year. Rod Swinehart takes the palm with a total of 106 points. The rest of the first team, Carlisle, Flood, King, Tarpley, and Wilson, all freshmen, are not men to be sneezed at on the floor - or standing up like other people, either!

It seems that this is one dance which draws a noticeable representation of the men-at least, I got a glimpse of one now and then.

QQuestion of the year: Are the two nouns synonymousffj Since I've been too busy to keep up my diary this past week, I'd better mention the Christmas sing. It was, as usual, a very inspirational program and goes to show what music can accomplish, especially at Christmas when everyone is hearing music anyway. Well, I'd better get some shutfeye. Always a good idea to rest up a little before vacation - which in this case begins tomorrow. Let's go! MARCH 20, 1942 What's a good cure for split sides? Laughed so hard at the intermission of the class party tonight, I thought I would literally, figuratively, and specifically burst. Ray King was in charge of the skit f one of a conglomeration of people with signs denoting who, or rather what, each was impersonating. The whole clambake , planned by social chairman Archer, was great. Games, dancing, refreshments, men - oh, bliss! Members of other classes kept trying to crash the party. Why don't they thrown their own brawls and leave a superior class to revel in its superiority? fCox-itinued on Page 701 I:Page Sixty nme THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1944 C LAS S I-I I ST O R Y fContinuedfrom Page 69j MARCH 27, 1942 Flash! Sophomores score again! No, Mr. and Mrs. North wasn't a sophomore class play, but we sure took the spotlight with Hve sophs in the cast. Jackie Morris had the lead as Mrs. North. Webb Genius Russell, Pat Henderson, Dick Bartchy, and Arlyn Neiswander completed the sophomore quota of dramatic talent in this production. And it certainly did go over in a big way. Isn't it surprising what stage makefup can do? That bashed-in effect on the head of Corpse Neiswander was enough to inspire terror in the hearts of the timid! Well, that's all for now. Mr. and Mrs. North will be back on the air next Wednesday, same time, same station - but with a far inferior cast, methinks. APRIL 25, 1942 Boy, am I glad to sit down - I've still got jeep legs or something, not to mention the fact that they're still asleep fmy legs, not the jeeps!j I just looked in the mirror and found to my dismay that whereas my hair was strawberry blonde, it's now hayberry green - looks so nice with my pretty blue face, too. Aren't hayrides wonderful? I didn't want my right arm anyway. The sophomore I'IifY proved a delightful host, but their guests didn't treat them too well. If Rodney Swinehart has a hangover tomorrow, it will be from a force- ful meeting with a bottle. Specifically, a coke bottle wielded by Phyllis Kinney.

Chemistry isn't so good either, especially since I poured sulfuric acid on my book last week! fSee data under Oct. 20 for de' tailed description., Parents were quite philosophic about grades.

With such a promising ancestry, you can't miss. Miss what? Oh, well, who wants to be a Phi Beta Kappa? Another class party - and once again a riot. We heard three enlightening speeches concerning the lives and loves of three prominent juniors. Betty Shoolroy discoursed learnedly upon the art of Flood control, Jackie Morris earnestly entreated in behalf of monarchy and eulogized the Kingg Bill Martin, amid fierce heckling, held forth mightily on the merits of BromofStelzer. I threw a penny in the Wishing Well and wished - well, just wished, period. Not that I'm superstitious, but why not keep on the good side of Fate?

Rolling over Oherlin 6-U and lvledina 510, the Generals hanged into a favored New Philadelphia team and fought them to a scoreless deadlock in the mud hattle of the year, Then, hreaking a thirteenfyear jinx, they defeated a heavily favored Ashland team 2741 on their home field in perhaps one of the hest exhihitions of the T formation this year. The following week the NVoostei' eleven upset a tough Canton Lincoln team hy completely outplaying them hut only gaining a W0 tie. Brushing aside Doylestown to the tune of 416, the Blue and Gold next smashed their traditional rivals, the Urrville Red Riders, 3141, In their last game and the game that had everything in the way of thrills, the Generals outscored the Canton Lehman Polar Bears 2919. This was the first yietorv for the Generals over Lehman in the history of their rivalr and made an ideal finish t A I , V for a sueeessfu season.

The loss of three of their six lettermen eontrihuting, the Cold and Blue dropped two hearthreakers to Loudonville and Rittman in the allfimportant Central Buckeye League. Then Coach Bresoifs offense really started to click as the Generals marched through the remaining six games undefeated. Witli a standing of five wins and three losses the Vv'ooster cagers ranked second in the C,B.L. A seasonal record of ten wins and six losses stands as a fine season for the l943f44 cagers. Next year's squad will lose four lettermen, Ray King, Al Schreiner, Rodney Swinehart, and Ted Wiles. The latter two were top scorers with lio and 138 points respectively. Next year's squad can hope for a good season, too, with excellent material in their returning lettermen.

BASEBALL Wrxvster High hasehall squad started its season with a hang this year. The boys have taken four consecutive games including twin victories over the powerful Canton McKinley Bulldogs. The Generals opened with Mouiit Eaton and easily gained a 7fl victory. With a game under their helts they defeated a tough Canton McKinley nine, 7f4. Rolling on over Shreve, 106, the Blue and Gold again gained a 5-4 decision over a revengeful McKinley squad. The returning lettermen this year are Rod Swinehart, Ted Wiles, Bill Martiri, Floyd Engel, and Paul Miracle, These men form the nucleus of this year's squad which has heen very successful so far. However, the Annual went to press with more than two-thirds of the schedule remaining. The schedule is a tough one and we hope that the team is able to keep a clean record.

SPORTS BOARD The governing body of sports has really worked this year. Under its leadership soccer, hockey, basketball, bowling, swimming, ping pong, volleyball, and baseball were a huge success. Florence Zuppas made a competent president to hold the gavel on Girls' Athletic Association meetings. Several new amendments were added to the charter among which the status of two seniors reigning as basketball captains was changed to one junior and one senior. Miss Baum, a newcomer to VVooster Highs athletic department, helped im' mensely with the program. A new eonstitution was drawn up to do away with superfluous amendments in the old one. JUNIOR HIGH G.

GIRLS'HWH ASSOCIATION These members are those who have earned a minimum of 600 points in the various sports offered in girls' athletics. Our president, Dorothy Smith, detailed a program to invite the Orrville O Association girls to Wcioster for a playday again this, the second year. Basketball, swimming ,and ping pong, with a banquet after, were played with all attending thc WoosterfCJrrville game in the evening. Not to be outdone, the O Association acted as hostesses to Wcmoster at a similar playday when the boys played a return engagement at Orrville. In order to fill the vacant treasury and earn money for the annual trip to Chip , pencils with the basketball schedule engraved upon them were sold to the student body, several tea dances were sponsored by k'W , and candy sales scored a direct hit with the school's sweet tooth. Members were in charge of taking tickets at basketball games again this year. New members were added through the year, bringing the total membership to sixteen when the season ended at Chip .

Class captains were elected hy vote of the girls of each class. Janice Weygzindt, senior, Betty Martin, junior, and Pat Douglass, sophomore, were selected in that capacity. Triumphantly the seniors carried off class honors with an undefeated record. Managing soccer this year was Virginia Hartman. The all important game of the season stood out as a thriller indeed.

ALL-STAR Although hockey is greatly handicapped hy cold weather it is fast hecoming a favorite of the sportsfminded girls of Wtxister High. Thirf tyfodd valiant souls hraved the snow and cold and enough stayed out to complete class games and to cap the season with an allfstar game.

THE GENERAL ANNUAL of1944 ALL- STAR BASKETBALL Again basketball held the lead in interest of all girls' sports. This year forty players re- ported of which twenty-eight made class teams. Two teams-named red and white-were made up from each class, six on a team. The senior Red team won class honors but not without stiff competition. Lucy Belle Kauffman cap' tained the senior Reds with Anna Syrios, Dot Smith, and a borrowed player for each game, as forewardsg and Lucy Kauffman ,Betty Shoolf roy, and Janice Weygandt as guards. The allfstar game, climaxing the season, was played Friday, March 3.

That demon of the basketball court, Anna Syrios, accounted for the 18 of the 22 points for Harvard and Dot Smith contributed the other four. High scorer for Yale was Thelma Hostettler, who dazzled even the boys with her spectacular long field shots. She made 11 points with Martine Rock adding the rest. Thanks go to Marion Huxley, Nancee Isler, and Pat Koontz, who were in charge of plans for the game, banquet, and dance respectively, and who helped to make this year's basketball season a success. f Page Seventyfnine THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1944 Rowl--William Stoops.

RIFLE CLUB The Rifle cluh was formed last year hy the Wtxmster American Legion in order to give hoys who would soon enter the service experience in the safe and correct use of a rifle. This year, though, younger hoys were allowed to join the cluh. The hoys met every Monday evening in the old gym where they shot an average of ten rounds of ammunition a night. All materials such as riHes and ammunition were generously furnished hy the American Legion. The Rifle cluh is a memher of the National Rifle Association, which has the following classes or ranks which may he attained: nrofmarksmanship, marksmanship, marksmanship first class, sharpshooter, and expert. Medals are usually awarded, hut hecause of the war they are unattainahle. Many former memhers of the Rifle eluh, who have heen graduated from school and are now in the service, have found this training very valuahle. Most of the hoys have reached the rank of marksmanship in the army, many have hecome experts, and some have even heen made instructors. james Tewkshury ...... .....

Ze Mexico, she is beautiful, n'est-ce pas? And that ain't no jive, but we didn't have to go there to find out. Right in our own auditorium, we danced amid this exotic scene to the music of Hal Nelson's orchestra. Here's my personal bouf quet of orchids to Betty Shoolroy, social chairman, and her committees for the grand job they did, It certainly will be W one of my most vivid memories, especially the moment when I tripped on my skirt and fell flat on my proboscis amid the terrorfstricken mob!

If anyone mentions fish to me within the next three months, I will bash his sunny little face in. Why do people at fish fries do things to other people or to themselves that they wouldn't for anything have other people see them doing at any other time or among any other group of people?

With the aid of six vitamin pills and a double hypodermic, I nabbed an eligible male for the Sadie Hawkins dance tonight, which was sponsored by our onfthe- ball General staff. With the high school dance band in a goodelookin' groove, we glided merrily upon the floor but not on our feet! Arising from my lowly position among the corn meal, I caught my man on the verge of escape, and we proceeded to dance amid the prostrate forms of backsliding companions. Ah, leap year - but at what shall I leap? NOVEMBER 18, 1943 A I 0 Thought the royal procession would never get under way ' A, at the homecoming game tonight.
