S. and the gallant seniors who have successfully completed their mission with bravery, tar beyond the call. As you leaf through this Soldiers' Manual-we mean annual-we hope you will relive these memor- able days at Norwood High. We picture our- selves at boot camp with the spotlight on those who are candidates for O. C. S. lcollege to youl, and those embarking on business careers. From bugle call till we hit the sack, we show you our maneuvers: D. T., P. T., and M. T. ldetention, physical training, mental trainingl. Preliminaries completed--Forward March! Silhouette Stott at 1945 Jlclluiaonla F-l9l'lQ .Stan-.glpanallacll Clglannon O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave prdof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home ofthe brave? On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists ofthe deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, ln full glory reflected now shines on the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner: O long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and wild war's desolation, Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is iust, And this be our motto: ln God is our trust! And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land ofthe free and the home of the brave. :A X , ff-R . 4 Y ik 'k W ' - 'Sh 'k ' . 5 4' 1 i i i K . 4 54, 'QR av!

Self-important seniors strolling to class to catch up on the latest news, iaunty iuniors already thinking about their prom, silly sophomores forever worrying about keeping up with the styles, and frightened freshies reading the numbers on the doors and usually ending up in the wrong place-a typical day at Norwood High. Seventeen became the high school girl's friend and companion. Frank Sinatra and Franklin D. Roosevelt again proved the people's choice in their various professions. Skirts were not so full, but neatly pleated, and sweaters less bag-like in shape. Regardless of rationing, saddles and casuals reigned supreme, and that new sleek hair-do became popular although bangs and pomps were still much in evidence. The burr hair- cut still prevailed among our male population, while drapes, less zooty suits, bright plaid shirts, soft cashmeres, and gay socks and ties adorned their manly l?l frames. After an unusually warm autumn, Norwood welcomed a white Christmas-and then some. ln fact, the ground remained covered by a sheet of ice and snow all winter long. The Eton cap, a dink with a tiny visor, made its appearance in all colors, no doubt to keep the brains of style-conscious chicks warm. We went to all the games and dances, wangled dates for the class plays and prom, in fact we did about everything and loved it. The woeful looks on the seniors' faces at exam time made the freshmen glad for once that they were freshmen. We proudly said goodbye to all the guys who joined up with Uncle Sam, looking forward to the time they would come marching home again. We had fun, but we had our serious side too. The whole student body was conscious of a deep responsibility to our boys fighting for us in some foreign country. Every Monday we bought stamps and bonds, dedicating field ambulances for each of our gold stars. Our boys enrolled in preinduc- tion classes, while the girls backed them up by making surgical dressings and scrapbooks and taking first aid and nursing courses. We worked hard on scrap and paper drives and clothes col- lections. We did all these things and many more. We are proud of our part, but we are humble when we remember how small our share in victory is compared to that of others. 5 LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. William Schaneberger, Mr. Charles Evans, Miss Emma Jungblut, clerk, Mr. Ralph Thayer, Mr. David Ramage, Mr. Paul Sullivan, Superintendent Bates.

But what a difference it would make to our civilization if high school stu- dents were to use it as an expression of their educational ambitions. Gone, indeed, would be those false measures of educational achievement--required books to be read, so many credits to be earned, so many hours to be spent. ln their place would come the quest for the pertinent facts out of which iudgment grows. ln consequence, tomorrow's America would become a stronger, richer, better place in which to live. Not a bad idea-- Don't Fence Me ln! wx clllfhllla clflfan oral.: Cn Norwood men and women are fighting on every battle front and are giving an excellent account of themselves. lt must be our serious purpose to encourage them, to give them every support within our power, and to match their sacrifice in every way possible. Only by doing our full share may we be worthy of the lasting peace for which we are all striving. BEN M. HANNA, Principal B. M.

They will rightfully rule the school next year, and if we can iudge from past records, they will do a great job of it. To raise money for their Junior Prom, the year's highlight socially, the eleven uppers sponsored two dances in the fieldhouse, the Aces Wild and the Prom Preview. lContinued on page 321 11 cllllplpen 74 TOP ROW: M.

The girls in 203 excelled in scholarship, keeping the National Honor Society pennant in their homeroom with an unusually high percentage. ln the sports line the lower iuniors were tops, the boys taking the intramural championship, besides having some of their classmates on the school teams, and the girls winning the G. A. A. trophy by a tight score, 22-2l. For the big event of the year, the Prom, they took active part, having two girls for Prom candi- dates.

Although entering in February, l944, the tenth lowers have the makings of a distinguished class-intelligence, enthusiasm, and beauty, with a capital B. They have displayed their zeal and perseverance in school activities and boast numerous athletes. The lower sophomore boys have one of the most active Hi-Y clubs. These bright students contribute much to all four glee clubs. The Athletic Association also received a donation from these hard-working ten lowers. 10 .Cowen TOP ROW: M. Chaney, D, Lidell, E.

By sponsoring one of the first paper drives of the year, the enterprising upper freshmen started off the year with a bang. After their first few weeks they acclimated themselves and settled down to a more advanced life. Making rapid progress in high school life, they were not outdone in the social circle. They helped put over several lower classmen dances and donated money to the Athletic Association fund by sponsoring bake sales. 10 ,Cowen TOP ROW: T. Healion, A, Wilson, W. Comer, S. Farmer, R.

With an added something, more boys than girls, besides having more members than most mid-year classes, the lower freshmen recovered from their early green- ness, and prepared to take everything in their stride. They ioined clubs and organizations, attended athletic events, dances, and other school activities, giving their patronage to all worthwhile causes. These freshies are looklng forward to coming years lfinancing the Junior Prom and examsl with high hopes for the successful outcome.

The season told a different story as Coach Hale's first year at Norwood ended disastrously. The record: one victory, seven defeats, total opposition points 2l-4, Norwood total, 22. The lndians showed up well in their season's debut with Western Hills, September 22. The powerful Price Hill aggregation won 26-O. 56 Norwood eked out a 2-0 verdict over Fair- field for its first grid victory since early i942. The score came in the second quarter when Pete Sterrett blocked a Fairfield punt which went out of the end zone for an automatic safety.

The disheartened Redskins were trounced 40-O by the Tigers of Withrow, who scored a touchdown on their second play and kept right on going. Bobby Sterrett, ably assisted by brilliant end play by Deiss and Hepp, kept the Indians in the game until the last play as Woodward's Bulldogs captured a 25-20 decision. The stands rocked as the Indians scored their first touch- downs ofthe season. The season ended with the Bluebirds of High- lands invading the local gridiron and handing our Indians a 34-O walloping. Whitey Gerrard's high-flying Papooses gained valuable experience and showed great promise as they triumphed in two of their five tilts. Reserve mainstays were Bill Hammond, Lee Haslinger, Al Fishback, Clyde Sager, Dick Hepp, Dick Combs, Bob Beckstedt, and Howard Lucas. Although they won from Deer Park and Cliaalectballll St. Bernard, the Paps were defeated by Western Hills, Withrow, and Woodward. O I O Whitey Gerrard's second year as Norwood cage mentor produced one of Greater Cincin- nati's top flight squads. The high-flying Indians won eleven, lost six, and were second only to Xavier in Class A play. Mainstays in the Indian lineup were five seniors whose four years of working together enabled them to display speed and teamwork. The stars were Captain Peirano, Wettig, Deiss, Tipton, and B. Sterrett. Able reserve strength was on hand in F. Sterrett, Beckstedt, Isaacs, Schardt, Wolf, and Wood.

LockIand's Panthers were number six on the Indian victory parade to a tune of 39-25. Central Vocational ran the Indian streak to seven as they were easily swamped, 44-I7. The Indians battled Plainville in one of the top features of the prep season, with the Blue Devils winning, 33-30. Rebounding the next week, the Indians took Western Hills into camp, 45-36. Hamilton's powerful Big Blues downed the Redskins, 39-27. The Indians defeated Highlands the follow- ing week, 43-37. 58 Cheerleaders F. Wilson, B. Couden, M. Beck- smith, and A.

Bob Sterrett was high scorer as the Indians regained their old form to beat Withrow, 43-35. The last home game saw Walnut Hllls de- feated 38-29. ln the last game of the season Norwood lost to Covington Holmes. The Papooses had one of the best seasons of any Norwood reserve squad. led by Hall, Hammond, and Haslinger, the Pops won twelve and lost five. After dropping three of their first four games, they settled down, won ten straight, but lost the last two games.

Baseball, Americak favorite sport. Shutfleboard enthusiasts practice up their game. Ping-pong provides pleasant and profitable exercise. 62 Active since 1929, the G. A. A. is open to all girls who wish to participate in sports. Because no dues are collected, the girls sell candy, hot dogs, and cokes at the football games. The aim of the G. A. A. is to have a sport for every girl and every girl in a sport. These include several seasonal sports, composed of hiking, bicycling, baseball, basketball, archery, and a few year round sports, such as swimming, ping-pong, and shuffleboard. Bowling, popular in other years, was discontinued due to the shortage of pin-boys. Points are given for participation in any sport and an individual earning IOO points receives an emblem. A total of IOOO points entitles a girl to a big N, and each addi- tional lOO points earns a bar. At the close of the school year, the G. A. A. elects a board for the following ycar to plan and organize the sports and other activities under the faculty advisors, Miss Griffin, Miss Thayer, Miss Rea, and Miss Kehm. Archery, managed by V. Retallick, is especially popular during the spring and fall months although this year it has fre- quently been conducted in the girls' gym during the cold weather. This is one of the hardest sports in which to earn an emblem, but nevertheless, it has a great many par- ticipants. Points are given for attendance and for the score made by hitting the target. Baseball, America's favorite sport, is well represented in G. A. A., since the turnout for this sport is always good. Come spring and you can see M. Chaney and her girls out practicing for the tourna- ment games held later in the season. The champions got 35 points toward their em- blems and runners-up got 25. The highlight of this year's sports was the basketball tournament played off ac- cg. A. A cording to homerooms, with the winners receiving a silver trophy as a reward. Again the champs were awarded 35 points and contenders 25. Interest in this sport was heightened by the renewal of inter-school competition. A selected team visited and played host to the teams of various schools. Although there is no emblem offered in bicycling, a half point per mile is given toward an However, an emblem is offered for hiking and l point is given for every mile hiked. A group of hikers under the management of L. Barhorst included at least 5 girls, and no hikes of less than 5 miles were credited. The competition and interest was keen in ping-pong, even though no emblem was given. However, all points count toward a big Each girl must play in 3 games, each counting 5 points. likewise, no emblem is offered for shuffieboard, but many girls participated in it for the fun of the game. Swimming, under the leadership of D. larsen, attracted a large number of girls. Not only does it feature endurance swim- ming and life-saving, but once a week anyone may go in for a free swim. Each girl making l00 points is entitled to an emblem. The annual Girls' Week sponsored iointly by G. A. A. and Girls' Advisory Council was the highlight of the year from the feminine standpoint of view. Mayor B. O'Connell and Vice-Mayor J. Kidder, with the able assistance of Fire Chief D. Larsen and Police Chief P. Grower, ruled the city. The usual chain of events occurred-a posture parade, flower sale, and basket- ball tournament.

English courses are kept prac- tical so that students can apply their learning in other departments and to life. To meet special needs the English De- partment offers courses for commercial, retail trades, and vocational shop groups. These are in addition to the traditional academic course. Remedial classes continue to help stu- dents increase their skill in reading and reading cards serve to guide in book selections. A systematic testing program reveals students' achievements and weaknesses to be overcome. An essay and a poetry contest are yearly challenges to English students. Eleven teachers carry out the program. LANGUAGE At Norwood High School two foreign languages are taught-Latin and Spanish. Latin is the base of most modern langu- ages, including English, and is very help- ful in learning the vocabulary and gram- mar of English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Spanish is spoken by our neighbors in Mexico and all the South American republics, except Brazil. Since we shall see a great deal of these neigh- bors after the war, Spanish may be America's second language. 'Twas the night before a book report-. ls Shakespeare that interesting? Roman beauties attract latin students, Habla Vd. Espanol? GENERAL SCIENCE General science is a study which at- tempts to develop a general understand- ing and appreciation of each of the maior sciences, and of the principles by which these sciences explain the natural conditions about us. CHEMISTRY We are living in a chemical age, and we are surrounded by products of the laboratory. We study the application of the scientific method, the prinicples of chemistry, and learn many practical ap- plications of principles. BIOLOGY In biology we study all animals from omeba to man, all plants from bacteria to roses. The microscope shows us why we should wash our hands before eating and why we are so much like grandfather. PHYSICS High school physics is the science that teaches the basic facts of natural law. Although its most definite application is in the field of engineering, physics is of great value to those who wish to under- stand electricity, sound, and electronics. What are Einstein's little freshmen helpers cooking up? Experiment Perilous. Oh well, I didn't need that hand anyway. Root hairs intrigue sophomores. Physics tascinates future Fuhrenheits. GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Girls' Physical and Health Educa- tion Department endeavors to promote the principles of education that lead to happy, efficient, healthful living in a dem- ocratic society. We welcome, as a new staff member, a former Norwood High School graduate, Miss Ruth Thayer. BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Boys' Physical Education Program is faced with preparing our youth for war time requirements. The program has been designed to meet a wartime condition of strength, stamina, coordination, agility, and aquatic skills far beyond that required for peace time pursuits. MUSIC Vocal and instrumental music offered to students includes glee clubs, a choir, a band, and an orchestra. Each activity of- fers one-fourth credit per year. Theory, harmony, and music appreciation are offered as one credit subiects. Miss Ewing and Mr. Humberger direct these organizations. LIBRARY The library, under the management of Miss Moore and a volunteer student staff, is open to all students for reference work and leisure reading during the day and after school. Books, from the collection on the shelves, may be taken out for one or two week periods. The after-effects are worse than this. These Atlas Maidenswoons improve their manly forms. Melodious Mendelsson's compose melodies. You can't judge a book by its cover. COMMERCIAL The training for office work continues to be a popular field for our high school pupils. Approximately one-third of the seniors selected one of their maiors from the commercial course. Business methods, bookkeeping, business management, oftice practice, shorthand, typewriting, business English, and commercial law are offered by the Commercial Department. Our equip- ment and methods of instruction are as modern and up-to-date as we can make them. Many of our students passed the Civil Service examinations in May and re- ceived appointments. Others received merit pins for various tasks well done. INDUSTRIES The first semester's work consisted of woodworking and drawing-a continua- tion of the retrenchment of a year ago. However, Mr. Gates came to our depart- ment early in February, and we were able, once more, to offer general metal work. Enrollment has remained quite large. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION The Vocational Education Department is made up of three main branches-the commercial coop, retail selling, and trades and industries. The machine shop classes and the aircraft engine repair classes are parts ofthe trades and industries program. The past year has seen much work and post-war planning for a new course of study for our high school which will offer many new curricula, plans for additional shops, laboratories, and classrooms. Future secretaries learn the fundamentals of typing. These oftice practice students forget to smile for the birdie. Termites beware! No trespassing in the woodwork- ing department, Big engines fascinate little boys. M099 M 'wo' ,M um NNN HOME ECONOMICS It is of more importance that all stu- dents have some work in the field of home- making than that a few students be pre- pared for specialized vocations. Hence, the Home Economics Department at the present time does not train a girl for any specific vocation. However, she will find the work valuable preliminary training for the numerous opportunities now open to women today. The processes of learning how to live and of living center in the home. Genuine homcmaking is much more than what is called housekeeping. lt is a business, a science and an art. It is the greatest of czll the professions. DRAMA Dramatics promotes growth in physical, mental, and social skills. Some students cnioy acting and writing, while others prefer to serve as electricians, designers, or make-up artists. All study fundamentals of acting, dramatic criticism, and stage design. ART If you can't speak it, or write it, maybe you can draw it, Whatever your art talents, there should be some place for them to shine in the art department. lmitate, inter- pret, create-that's fun. These modern lassies learn modern design. lt is a lucky fellow that gets one of these students. One must suffer for one's art. The artist at work-don't ask her to explain the picture. SOCIAL STUDIES The social studies program has the very difficult task of trying to help Norwood High pupils acquire a helpful understand- ing of some of the meaningful events and real values of the past and present. lt is more than a training program, it is an educational aim. The pupil will have to contribute generously of his time and eFiort to accomplish much in this field. An organ- ization of nations may help in preventing war, but a lasting peace will have to be built on social and ethical values and understandings widely held and deeply felt. The courses which at present serve as a start toward this goal are: American his- tory and government, world history, eco- nomic geography, commercial law, eco- nomics and modern problems. MATHEMATICS Mathematics is contributing much to- ward the war effort. This is a war of ma- chines and of specialists. A sound training in the fundamentals of mathematics is a great asset to those in the armed forces and to those in war work at home. Mathe- matics will play an important part in the readiustment period following the war. Norwood High School has an extensive course of study in mathematics planned to meet the needs of its students.
