C l6Tk'I76ClSlLTCT THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1947 Mr. Vernon Smucker In our principal, M1'. Ver' non Smuckcr, we find one of those individuals, so rare in this world, who are ahle to achieve ll balance of discipline and friendliness - in short, he the force that keeps the wheels moving. In all dealings with thc stuf dents, Mr. Smucker has had the interest of others at heart. One of the pleasant memories of Woostei' High graduates is the memory of their associaf tion with M1'. Smueker. 'E i Mr. V. A. Garver After the death of Mr. C. M. Layton, the position of Superinf tendent of Wooster City Schools was in need of a capahle successor. Mr, V, A. Garver, who had ref tired from a similar position in the Rittman school system, kindly eonf sented to fill the post of his friend and colleague, Mr. Layton. Since Mr. Garvcrs arrival in the Vxfooster school system, li e li a s made in il ny friends through his wise counsel and friendliness. fPage Nine QPage Ten, THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1947 MEMORIAL Cn November 18, 1946, Vxfooster High School and the community were saddened by the news of the death of Superintendent C. M. Layton. Mr. Layton came to Wooster in 1931 to succeed Miss Lura B. Kean as principal of the high school. The following year he became superintendent of the Woostei' City schools. Among the new ideas which M1'. Layton initiated for the high school are special assemblies on Thanksgiving, Christ' mas, and Easter, the Christmas Sing, and a high school dance band. Mr. Layton will always be remembered for his friendly smile and kindly advice. THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1947 FACULTY s I 1 l J EDWARD E. ADAIR Social Science: The College of NVooster.

A dviser CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR September, 1943 Here I am, a freshman at last. Never thought I'd make it. We had our annual FreshmanfSophomore Scrap. Our guys did a good job, but gosh-those sophomores are strong. Saw Hasty Wertenberger. He looked a little wet, so I asked him if it wasn't a little late to go in swimming, Wonder why he looked at me so funny? Football season got off to a big start. All the freshman girls are in love with Rod Swinehart. We didn't think that one of us would get him in the end. VVe're mighty proud of Don Harris and Bob junkin, who are on the team, too. October, 1943 I got my Hrst six weeks grades. I didn't believe Miss King when she told me I was so dumb, Well, we can't all be as smart as Sid Amster. November, 1943 Amo, Amas, Amat, Amamus, Ama - Ama -- Ch, heck! I never will under' stand Latin. The Freshman Latin Club held a box social today. Margie Silver brought a befutiful box all done up in pink and blue ribbons. Pat Wilson's was pretty, too. Richard Arnold didn't know which one to bid for, but he finally decided on Margie's. I told Joe Anfang which one was mine, but he didn't bid for it at all. Ch, well, I really don't mind eating alone. February, 1944 I just hung my lasso back in the closet after using it for the Sadie Hawkins Dance. What a blowout! Dot Weimer brought that smooth Gene Buehler while Nancy Bachtell and Sally Bethke managed to capture Stan Welty and Walt Grosjean. Bob Davies was led in by Isie Schie. The General played host and everyone had a wonderful time. fContinued on Page 1041 fPage Eighteenj THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1947 Libby B. Abramson She gains a multitude of friends by being one.

The bifmonthly meetings of this organization serve as a contact between students and administrators, The Senate this year worked particulf arly hard to obtain more cofoperation within the school. As in previous years the Senate sponsored the sale of Student Activity Tickets and helped in the sale of Annuals. Senators also took charge of class elections. A new branch of the Senate, called the social committee, sponsored the Hrst allf school dance in the fall and a valentine dance on February 14. Music during the ten minute period on Thursdays was provided by the music appreciation committee of the Senate. The booster committee sponsored the program of running buses to football games and worked to rouse school spirit among the students in general by holding rallies and parades.

The members of this organization are chosen on a four point basis, namely, scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Five per cent of the class is chosen each semester, beginning at the second semester of the junior year. Fifteen per cent of each class is eligible to membership in the National Honor Society. Scholarship is rated on the basis of the grades received in the four years of high school, To be eligible for the society, the student must be in the upper third of his class. Rank in leadership is determined by the number of extra-curricular activities in which the student is active. A definite number of points is given for each activity and a summary is then made of all points. Service and character are judged by a point system by both the students and the faculty. From the rankings in scholarship, leadership, service, and character, a complete ranking is made and those who have the highest number of points are installed in the National Honor Society. The Honor Society does not have special social activities but its members are obligated to work quietly for the betterment of scholarship in the school. jane Til ford ......

F. L. Degree of Distinction, heads of the nine major offices, and a few others eager to learn the basic rules of parliamentary procedure are admitted to this club. Meetings were opened by the president in the sewing room on Tuesday noons, and a short business meeting was conducted by him. A temporary chairman was then elected, a parliamentarian appointed, and the practice legislature proceeded. All types of motions and amendments were introduced and discussed during the year. A typical motion stated that we place our chairs on the tables for higher thinking. To show that we were sometimes serious in our legislature, a motion was passed author' izing a complete set of comic books to be placed in the library for use by illiterate seniors since we do realize the value of visual education. The Junto Club also wishes to take this opportunity to announce publically that Mr. Kilroy was elected an honorary member of Junto. The highlight of the year was the dinner held in January for Juntonians. At that time legislature passed during the year and not previously carried out was enacted.

The first meetings of the Science Club this year were devoted to selecting new members. Applicants from the junior and sophomore classes were accepted. The club met every other Thursday, as it did last year, and had varied programs. After the organization meetings were held, the group paid a visit to the Geology department at the college, where Dr. Karl Ver Steeg, head of the department, spoke to the members. In order to stimulate the interest of the members, programs were planned in which different people took part. The themes for some of these were Air , L'Electricity , and Weather . In December, Mr. joseph B. Polivka from the Experiment Station showed slides and talked to the group about japanese beetles. The club planned trips to the ice plant, the water works, the rubber plant, and the Goodyear plant in Akron. Some of the members served the school by operating the movie projector, the new sound system, and the public address system in the auditorium. James Steiner ....... ...,......

This honorary organization, composed of the advanced students of drama, possesses one of the most unusual rites of all school clubs. The Waicister chapter of the National Thespian is a nonfsecret, nonfsocial organization except for the formal banquet and initiation rites in which the Thcspians wel- come fellowfmembers near the end of the school year. During the year the ten points required for Trcspian membership may be earned by participation in school plays, operettas, work backstage, or acting in plays other than at school. Part of the point sys' tem is as follows: eight points for a major role, four for a minor role, four for committee or crew work, and eight for committee chairman. Uccasionally, some club members earn twenty points to become Star Thespians, or reach the height of forty points to become Honor Thespians. This last distinction is the highest award made to a Thespian and is acclaimed by a jeweled pin, presented at thc close of the school year. leanne Heise ......... ................

This year we were unfortunate in not being able to get Percy Grainger, the famous conductor and composer, with us for our annual band concert on March 25, but we all enjoyed the work done by the band under the direction of Mr. Wallace Franks. One of the main events of the concert was a solo by Thomas Chaoman, Concerto in B flat Major by Alschousky. Mr, Franks made the transcription from the piano part for band accompaniment, Another feature was a duet for piecolo and bassoon by Doris Monroe and Philip Wile. The number was The Cricket and the Bull Frog by Paul Yoder. Some of the other numbers were: Overture to The Marriage of Figaro by NV. A. Mozart: Final from Symphony in F Minor No. 4 by l. Tschaikow sky: The Thunderern by ,lohn Philip Sousa: Martinique by John jo Morrissey: L'Soirecs Musicalesn by RossinifBenjamin Britten: Overture to ustrike Un the Band by George Gershwin. and h'Vanished Army by Kenneth ,lo Alford. There was also a collection of childrens numbers entitled the Children's March by Edwin Franko Goldman. This year the band again traveled to Kent for the Northeastern Ohio music contest. There were also members of the band who made up the ensemble entering other state contests, Again this year the band performed for all of the home football games. They also traveled to Wadswoi'tli. Not only did the band provide music for all of the home football games, but it also appeared at many of the home bas' ketball games to help urge the Generals to victory. At the forming of the concert band after the football season, the members cast their votes for officers and chose Thomas Chapman, president: james Kelly, xicefpresidentg Sue Stewart, secretary: Thomas Neiswander, treasurer: and Phillips Cutright, social chairman, Page Sixtyftwoj THE GENERAL ANNUAL 0f1947 On November 15. the orchestra assisted the Soc and Buskin Club in presenting a three-act play.

After a general introduction of the fundamentals in these three divisions and choosing of individual selections, the class members were individually coached in so far as possible by the leaders and instructed in constructive class criticism It is hoped that, although the program was of necessity cut down somewhat this year, enough interest has been roused that many of the speakers may be enf couraged to continue their speech work throughout high school. fpage Seiventyfnine QPage Eightyj THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 194 THE GENERAL ANNUAL f194 ff flop I J' Q , I 5 THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1947 Row lfjoy Henery, Lucille Crow, NValler Crosiean, Sidi-ey Amster, Row Z-Bruce jones, Bob Davies, Bob Lieliteberg-fr.

The purpose of the club is to plan and supervise all Pep Rallies and promote more school spirit. This year the club succeeded in organizing a Pep Club which enabled any student in grades nine through twelve to join. The purpose of the Pep Club is to bring out the school spirit. 1 School busses were furnished to take all Pep Club members to the outfofftown football games. Seats were reserved for them at the home games. The Booster Club also sold General signs for use on license plates of cars. This idea proved to be very successful. After the homecoming game the Booster Club sponsored a dance for the footf ball queen, her attendants, and the football players. Sidney Amster ,.,.. ,,,,,, P resident Bob Liehteberger ..,i..

The Generals were snowed under by a superior force, 26f0. The Berean jinx on Wooster teams held true as they won in Wooster's first home appearance, 14f6. Next week, Wooster invaded Fawcett stadium to clash with the Lehman Polar Bears. After a hard fought battle, the Bears won 2919, Akron Buchtel furnished the Generals with their Hrst win of the season, l9f13. The Generals were a much improved team in this game. Ashland came here vastly favored and unbeaten this year. Wooster played a ine game, but Ashland eked out a 13f7 victory. Wooster showed somewhat of a letdown from their previous form in the game at Wadsworth. The Grizzlies triumphed l4f6. The Generals' next victory was over Rocky River, a new addition to the schedule, l3f0. Good sportsmanship was shown by both teams in this game. The closing game of the seasons with Grrville at The College of Wooster stadium proved the thriller of the year, with over 3,000 spectators witnessing the Generals' 6-0 victory. This game gave great satisfaction to all the members of the squad and coaching staff because of the loss to Orrville in '45, and also bzcause of the fact that this was 0rrville's Hrst loss in nearly two seasons. fPage Eiglityffoiwj THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1947 VARSITY BASKETBALL Md' FE .V 8. ,xqq Q Row l-Tom flrrclw, Don Harris.

Wonder what they meant by that? December, 1944 Santa Claus came to town and was formal for the N. F. L. Christmas Dance. Nan Tunison came with Gene Buehler. March, 1945 I keep seeing little basketballs before battle tonight. Some of our sophomore Donna Leach tried hard but it was a smashing victory for Harvard-2344! April, 1945 Moonbeams shining up above - 'iThe Red Mill was a wonderful operetta. I almost got the lead but Ann Boyer beat me to it. Bob Stinebring and Harry Weitzel helped back up the chorus line. May, 1945 I adore older men. Already Nan Tunison, jo Russell, and Sally Bethke have snagged some of them. I tried to get Bill Wright to take me on a hayfride but he said he wanted a little Joy. Some other couples there were Pat Stauffer and Hasty Wertcnbergcr, Isie Schie and Blondie Hammond. JUNIOR YEAR he ever good to me this year! I got a new Doris Monroe was looking for Bob Hackett. My, that boy certainly gets around. my eyes. Yale and Harvard had their annual girls got on the team. Charlotta Frye and October, 1946 Boy, what a poor football season this year. To top it all, the bleachers fell at the Orrville game. I was almost killed. You see, I was on the bottom. We elected class officers today and football hero Harris came out on top. Janie' offthefmagie violinfTilford was put in charge of class recordsg Joy Henery was to see that we had a big and better prom. December, 1946 Demosthenes has nothing on me. You ought to hear me recite my Prince of Peace Oration. Jo Russell and Nan Baehtcll are out for it, too. If only I could be as good as they are. There are apparent advantages to speech. You get to go outfofftown on speech trips! Hubba, Hubba! March, 1946 Tonight I went to our big class party and was I in place. It was a farmer party: everyone dressed in overalls and plaid shirts. Say, I said, this is my big chance to hook a man because the girls were all asking the boys to dance. I decided to try Warren Reed, but Mary Alice Starr beat me, so my next attempt was james Blackburn. Again Betty Badertscher broke my heart. just when I was giving up and decided to go home who should pop up out of nowhere but James Anderson. L'May I walk you home? Ah, a man at last! May, 1946 The Dramatic Club presented the play l'The Fighting Littlesm. Weimer was some sort of an Egyptian dancer. Bethke ran around with a fake Southern accent and Heise was a Goody girl. I was in charge of replacing the lightbulbs in the footlights. Afterwards a tired but happy cast trooped over to Jeanne I'Ieise's. What a party! May, 1946 Well, here is the dav of the prom and poor little me doesn't have a date yet. Gee, these Junior boys sure are slow. I wondered down the hall to find myself a victim, but I couldn't make up my mind whom to ask-Gale Dunham or Ronnie Walton. My, was I mad! The prom started at 8:00 o'clock and my date didn't show up until 9:00. When we finally arrived, who should I see but Evelyn Ramsey and Dave Foss. I checked my coat in a little room and proceeded into a beautifully decorated auditorium. The theme was 'LMusieal Rhythm We decided to swing to the music of Byron Logan and while doing so I managed to see Kathie Rohr and Bill Stoopsg fContinued on Page 1071 fPage O71C'i1'I.LYld'l'ECI Five THE GENERAL ANNUAL of 1947 MMR Iii A IDEAL DATE St. Valentines day was again near when the juniors and seniors balloted to determine the 1947 Wcnostci' High School Ideal Date. After the ballots were tabulated, attractive joy I-Ienery and handsome Alex Zuppas emerged the victors. This year seniors only were eligible for the honors. Un Wedllesday evening, February 12, 1947, the Ideal Date was escorted to Canton, Ohio, where they saw the movie The Ra:or's Edge . On the return trip the couple visited the Linway . The Ideal Date has been a custom at Wmuoster High for six years, first in 1941. This year's date, as in previous years, was directed hy the General staff.

On the whole our prom was a huge success and it will be remembered for many years to come. E June, 1946 People are coming up in this great world of ours. Several people were elected president of certain organizations. All I got to do was vote, but here!s whom I voted for and everyone of them won: Sr. C. A. A.-Donna Leaehg Association--Joy Heneryg Clec ClubfCarole Iviontgomeryg JuntoffSidney Amsterg Thespian-Jeanne Heiseg Cir! Reservesf'Dottie 'XVeimcrg HifYfTommy Green. SENIOR YEAR September, 1946 Woe is me! Am I befuddled! Didnt know senior year was going to be so tough. We voted for class officers today. I didn't know whom to vote for but Luke Levers has such a nice smile that I couldnt resist putting an beside his name, Seems as if everyone agreed with mc, too. November, 1946 Some girls certainly are lucky! Sara Engel was crowned Homecoming Queen in our football game with Ashland tonight. Pat Smith, Jane Wallace, and Phyllis Starr looked darling as her attendants. Covered with mud Ernie Fry crowned his best girls with chrysanthenums. I was crowned, too. The water boy hit me on the head with his water bucket when I asked him for a drink. December, 1946 We celebrated a birth today Yep, today was the opening for the new Rhythm Room. I saw Pat Smith and Bruce jones in a corner booth. A large clamor suddenly arose. Upon inspecting I found Nan Tunison and Pap Papenfus arguing over the sparkle in their diamond rings. It must he wonderful to be in love! january, 1946 I'Il be surprised if Keeney's Cafeteria is still standing tomorrow, The Juntonians held a banquet there. I thought 1'd die laughing at the program Sid Ainster and Walt Crosjean planned. Stan Welty ate so much and laughed so hard that I thought he would blow up. John Hammond, Dottie Weimer, and Nan Tunison kept the group entertained. February, 1947 Delmont's brains, Stauifer's clothes, Wright's dancing, Gurney's smile were not cnoughfjoy and Alex topped them all and became the Ideal Date. Adequately chaperoned by McIntosh, Hammond, and yours truly, with the tremendous sum of 355 for expenses they set their course for Canton. fWonder what Barb and Baldy did7j The Linway provided a romantic setting for hamburgers and cokes, but the dish washf ing afterwards wasn't too much fun. March, 1947 Woosh! I nearly lost my life today. Senior girls are learning to drive! I was walking down the street when I heard a voice calling to me. Well, whadda ya know? There was Libby Abramson up a telephone pole. Wonder if she ever got down. April, 1947 The iirst allfschool formal ever held in Wooster High was super! It was the Spring Dance sponsored by the Girls' Glee Club, The auditorium was decorated by Kathleen Parcel! and her committee. They did a wonderful job, too. .Io Kistler was in charge of the novel intermission. Bob Hackett squired Mary Elsie Orr. Some darling freshman boys were there, too. This younger generation! June, 1947 The beginning of the end. Commencement at last. This last week has been a whirl. Presents, Prom, Baccalaureate, Senior Farewell-everything at once. I can't believe my high school days are over. In spite of all my complaining they were swell.

I arrived last night after an exhausting trip. At present, I am sitting on the veranda of Dunhamls Dingy Dump trying to keep cool with a Hydorn electric fan. I left New York on the Golden Gate Special for San Francisco. I discovered that Robert Stinebring is a ticket taker. During a tenfminute stop over at Junkins junetoin, I bought Bill Wright's new book Life in a Printing Company. I stopped in Chicago to see Loren Shearer and Donna Boreman in a new play AOpen the Door by Richard Matheny. After the play I called up Don I-larris, and he, his wife, and I went to Z,uppas's Zebra Room in the Vic Brown Hotel. There we met Tommy Green, who is an inf surance salesman, and we danced to the music of Tommy Chapman's Orchestra. We saw George Keen, George Durrant, Nancy White, Donna jean Silvers, and Juanita Sowers, who play with the orchestra, and Carole Montgomery, who is the soloist. The next morning, Bob Phelps drove me to the station in his taxi. He told me that Pat Wilson is now coaching a professional womens basketball team. Back on the train I went to the observation car, turned on the radio, and listened to Bill Stoops's Sports Shorts. I-lc reported that Larry Fickcs, olympic star, has been nominated for baseball's hall of fame. Bob I-Iacket and Dick Dctrow are playing in the finals in a golf tournament at the famous Pat Smith golf course. Finally I reached San Francisco. I was sitting in the lobby of the hotel when who should walk in but f I don't know, I never saw him before. When I went to the steamship company to get my ticket, I discovered Eleanor Bupp working in the office. To kill some time before my boat sailed, I went to a style show in a large department store where Barbara Conkle was modeling. San Francisco's Mayor, Bob Wertenbcrger, as usual had a front seat. When I went down to the dock to catch my boat, I ran into our old friend Nancy Tunison Weiser and her family, who were waiting for their ship to come in. When I got on the boat, I was greeted by the captain, Jim Anderson. ,lust as the boat was leaving, Dorothy and Emil Guzzo came running down the dock, but they were too late and they missed the boat. Richard Arnold was the ships doctor and Cecilia Bauman was the ship's nurse. Richard Ackerman, Warren Reed, Howard Mentzer, Quentin Martin, Ed Sebuck, Dean Smith, and Melvin Simon were deck hands. Dave Weaver was the ship's cook. On ship I met Dick Stype, Margie Silver, and Mary Louise Sargeant, who are taking a world cruise with a teachers' organization to inspect school systems around the world. When we passed Alcatraz, I noticed the new buildings which were designed by ,lack Specht. I also noticed a bright beam of light coming from the lighthouse and I knew Stan Dawson must be on duty. That evening I went to the movie on the ship and I was ushered to my seat by Blaine Taylor. Martha Talbert and Earl Landes cofstarred in the latest musical. . When I called the ships purser, Jim Blackburn, to find out about my luggage, I discovered that Lucille Reich was the switchboard operator. She told me that Denna Walton, Ida Brown, Martha Ashton, and Dorothy Hile were also operators on the ship. While I was in Hong Kong, I met a group of missionaries who were on their way to missions in Northern China. In this group were Jane Wallace, Florence Reeder, Ann Willoughby, and Eileen Chittum. I took a plane, which was piloted by ,lim Parccll, to India. There I saw Ernie Fry lying on a bed of nails. Katie Rohr, Florence MeQuigg, and ,Ioan Kistler were doing a snake dance to the music of joe Anfangs oboe. From India we flew straight to Why and here I am writing to you. Looking at my watch, I find that it is time for your broadcast from New York, so I will end my letter and tune in short wave.
