N In the hearts of Americans the Statue of Liberty has long symbol- ized such ideals as freedom, se- curity, and equality. In the proc- ess of .our nation's development these ideals have grown to mean even more-their realization in knowledge, in opportunity, and in a better way of life for the fu- ture. For man's continued pur- suit of these aims and ideals the Statue of Liberty stands as a guide to the future. Her torch is a blaz- ing beacon above a war-torn world dark with suffering and tyranny. It shines into the future to that time when the dark mists of war shall have changed to the warm sunshine of peace. Her up- lifted arm beckons us onward to- Ward even greater achievement KEN be as-W4 M 'ii agp +A 2,35 QM 'Vx M 9 K is K. fha.- it f xg ,, az , 'ff -at .'

To demonstrate in a small way the benefits realized from the ideals embodied in this American monument we submit to you this book. published by students of an American public school. It is an uncensored record of young Americans receiving free educa- tions, living free lives, and unit- ing with victory as their purpose. This year as the 1944 Guide con- ducts you through the halls of Ashland High School and into the hearts of its dwellers, its theme is the recognition of our greater American Guide. ,Y Q ifiifgee 1 E 51-Y K . wr..-1-51' iv - Y iiZiQEi CUIITEIITS i' BOOK ONE . . . . .

It comes into our school life at the end of another year of effort in attempting to understand more completely the complex world in which we find ourselves. Great battles are being fought by our soldiers and sailors so that we may keep on living free lives. May we also make them unselfish lives, so that knowledge, opportunity, and better living shall guide us into a new world where all of our people may work strenuously to preserve and extend the American Way. Farewell to the Class of 1944! Our hopes and prayers go with you as you leave the halls of Ashland High. I. E. Bohn ARTHUR B. GORSUCH, Principal Ohio State University, B.S. in Ed., M.A. J. E. BOHN, Superintendent Heidelberg College, B.A.g Ohio State University, M.A. Incredible as it may seem, some day we will be able to say, There was a war. On that day, and every day afterward, we must devote our efforts toward the establishing of a society in which war cannot exist. This book is a permanent embodiment of our right to express ourselves as we see fit. It ex- emplifies one of the Four Freedoms-the un- censored right of free expression. When the bells of peace have rung throughout the land, may the 1944 Guide ever serve as a reminder that there was a time when, through carelessness, greed, soft living, and a general disregard of Christian principles, there was a war. Arthur B. Gorsuch A familiar and popular iigure around school is Mr. Hartzler, who was moved up last spring to fill the position of assistant principal. In addition to his many miscellaneous duties he has charge of the visual aids program for the entire school, the activities program for or- ganizations and special events, the public ad- dress system, and the distribution of activi- ties ticket funds. Mr. Hartzler also conducts an American prob- lems class and the pre-flight aeronautics class. Through his knowledge of meteorology he has become the official weather observer for the city of Ashland. Completing the administration are Miss Smith, dean of girls, and Mr. Paxton, dean of boys, who deal individually with students in helping them to solve many of their prob- lems. The deans serve as counselors in voca- tional guidance for underclassmen. Under their jurisdiction fall many cases of student adjustment. Much of their work lies in problems dealing with attendance. Where necessary, home calls are made. ROGER M. PAXTON, Dean of Boys Stanford University, B.A.' in Soc. Sc., Western Reserve University . My J. E. HARTZLER, Assistant Principal Bluffton College, Wooster College, B.A.: Ohio State University, M.A. An invaluable part of -the deans' work in re- cent years has been their services in Finding employment for students. In this war year with plenty of employment available, many students have found suitable part-time occu- pations through the aid of the deans. In addition to their administrative duties, Miss Smith and Mr. Paxton each conduct two classes a day. Miss Smith teaches Latin II, and Mr. Paxton teaches American literature. SARAH B.

As one of the most important factors contributing to intellectual growth, reading is particularly stressed. Skill in ex- pression is likewise emphasized as a means of developing indi- vidual power. In junior high school a founda- tion is laid for a thorough study of the fundamentals of the Eng- lish language. Instructors for seventh and eighth grade Eng- lish are Miss Adams, Miss Mil- ler, and Miss Mooney. The aims of ninth grade English, taught by Miss Sprague and Miss Stanley, are to emphasize func- tional grammar and to discover and correct errors in usage which persist in each pupil's speech and writing. The student becomes aware of the fact that usage is not static but ever changing. Miss Bowers and Miss Welch offer sophomores an intensive study in grammar, vocabulary, and spelling. Students learn the necessity for clear, accurate ex- pression in everyday practices: they learn conciseness through precis writing. In addition to a thorough review in mechanics, approximately one-third of tenth year English is devoted to the study of literature. Students be- come better acquainted with out- standing English and American -ww..- . ,... ,, , ENGLISH writersg they learn to recognize different types of literature and to appreciate beautiful styles of writing. Their study also in- cludes an analysis of the themes and plots of stories. American literature, taught by Mrs. Hoekstra, Mr. Paxton, and Miss Stanley, is studied in the junior year. A general knowl- edge of the history of American literature is gained through the study of short stories, essays, drama, and poetry. The course also instills a deeper apprecia- tion of the various types of liter- ature and creates a greater inter- est in reading. Good English hab- its are maintained through criti- cisms of creative writing. Twelfth grade English, taught by Miss Campbell, head of the department, and Miss Welch, in- cludes a study of the useful prin- ciples and terminology of gram- matical construction sufficient to meet the needs of freshmen en- tering college. Sentence struc- ture is given special emphasis. One .day a week is devoted to the study of vocabulary and spelling. Special stress is given to the study of words in context as well as dictionary meaning. Approximately one half of the year's work is devoted to a sur- vey course in literature. A study of the authors' lives and the reading of representative forms of literature broaden the stu- dent's background and bring him into contact with new cultures and personalities. Analyses of se- lections include the teaching of certain principles of writing and the pointing out of certain phil- osophies, issues, and forces which have shaped the world. To encourage an interest in cre- ative writing the American Le- gion sponsors annually an essay contest on some timely subject. This year three students, writing on the subject, The Necessity for Closer Relationship with Latin-America, were first place winners in the district. In the l-ield of poetry two junior girls won distinction by placing in a national poetry contest. MILDRED M. ADAMS Otterbein College, B.A., University of Wisconsin, Miami University ELLEN L.

Not only does the stu- dent gain experience in impromp- tu, extemporaneous, and platform speaking, but he also learns the principles of parliamentary prac- tice, declamation, choral reading, and pantomime. The dramatic student studies the history of the drama, seeks through actual reading of plays to gain criteria for judging them, and learns by practice the fundamentals of make-up. Through participation in play scenes the student learns the elements of pantomime, cor- rect stage movement, diction, and character portrayal. MARJORIE SPRAGUE Ashland College, B.A. LIBRARY With approximately ten thousand volumes on its shelves, our library is keyed to service for Ashland High's pupils and teachers. It serves as a reliable source of in- formation with its pamphlets, magazines, and books of all de- scriptions. War stories rank first in popularity among the students, with books on aviation and me- chanics running a close second. Special classes in library instruc- tion are given to all seventh grad- ers during the first semester of school so that the library may be used to better advantage. BONNIE DALE WELCH University of Kentucky, B.A., Univer- sity of Michigan, M. A. .IOURNALISM The press today has become an im- portant part of an American's so- cial and moral well-being. It is a vital factor in the molding of pub- lic opinion. Journalism classes study both the philosophy of the press and the building of a news- paper. First year classes learn the art of newspaper composition through editing High School News, the school's daily column in the city's newspaper. Second year students, chosen by Miss Roth, gain practi- cal experience in both the writing and construction of a newspaper by editing the school newspaper, Panorama.

Medicine, industry, and the armed forces-all need personnel with scientific background. Future nurses find Miss Amstutz's hygiene class invalu- able to them, for a complete study of physiology and anatomy is given to the girls. Basic electricity and fundamentals of machines are the two branches of physics, taught concurrently by Mr. Gnagey. A course in light and sound will be added next year. Mr. Gnagey's chemistry students learn from lab- oratory work as well as from textbooks, dividing their time between class work and individual experimenta- tion. The laboratory work supplements class discussion. A good scientific foundation is laid in eighth grade general science classes, taught by Mrs. Sibert. Meteorol- ogy, fundamental astronomy, basic botany, and zoology are some of the units studied by eighth graders. ga Www 2 wif Iwi fl X Required of all freshmen is ninth year general science, taught by Mr. Wander and Miss Amstutz. In this course, background for physics, chemistry, and biology is provided, as all students must have two units of science to graduate. Both botany and zoology are covered in biology, taught by Mr. Wagner. A study of birds, of soil conservation, of insects, and a special, study of dangers to our ex- istence keep biology students busy. Agricultural stu- dents are especially interested in this branch of science. Because of tire and gasoline shortages, Mr. Wagner was forced to postpone field trips, but pupils bring plant and animal specimens to class. Pre-flight aeronautics helps prepare boys to be pilots, for they study meteorology, aerial navigation, opera- tion of engines, plane identification, and civil aeronau- tics regulations. Pupils take turns every morning in reading the weathe. report of the day from government instruments. MARY ELIZABETH AMSTUTZ F. E.

Through the study of our growth and development, and careful consideration of present-day problems--social, political, and economic-the student may better under- stand our government, its relationships with other na- tions, and the people with whom he will associate in life. Such an understanding of local, national, and interna- tional problems contributes greatly to better citizen- ship for each individual. Ashland High School students graduate with a thorough background in history, geography, and problems. Social science courses in grades seven, eight, eleven, and twelve are required. The student first comes in contact with the high school social science curriculum in seventh grade history and geography, taught by Miss Patten and Miss Kallenbaugh, respectively. Eighth grade so- cial science, conducted by Miss johnson, is divided into two parts. Ohio history is taught in one semester, and civics is offered in the other. World history, taught by Miss Griest, is elective, but many sophomores enroll in it. United States history, an eleventh year subject, is taught by Miss Foust and Miss Griest. Senior social studies, known in Ashland High School as American problems, has been developed into a very interesting course by Mr. Ballou, head of the social science depart- ment, and Mr. Hartzler.

To insure that all students will receive at least a prac- tical knowledge of the fundamental processes of arith- metic, courses in mathematics are required in grades seven, eight, and nine. High school arithmetic is intro- duced to seventh graders by Mr. Hartmang eighth grade mathematics is taught by Mr. Wolfe. The latter also conducts a course in refresher mathematics for upper- classmen. For those ninth graders whose prospective vo- cations will not require advanced mathematics, a gen- eral course is offered by Miss Carpenter. It gives review and further practical training in the fundamentals of arithmetic plus a short study of elementary algebra. Ninth grade students who wish to continue in mathe- matics may take first year algebra, taught by Miss Franz, head of the mathematics department. Mr. Todd follows through with plane geometry in the tenth year and half year courses in advanced algebra, solid- geometry, and trigonometry for juniors and seniors. Next year a full year's course in advanced algebra will be offered. All mathematics courses in the upper classes are elective.

FOREIGN Because of the growing need for a knowledge of the languages of other countries, an opportunity is given to students in Ashland High to study three foreign languages. Latin, taught by Miss Rickel and Miss Smith, furnishes a basis for study of the Romance languages- French and Spanish. At the same time it gives the student a chance to become better acquainted with our own English language. Second year Latin with its study of Cae- sar teaches much of Roman history and customs. Miss Stanley's French students not only study the French language but ART Art courses, taught by Miss Kohl, contribute to the cultural develop- ment of the student and help to foster artistic appreciation. Class work includes sketching from still life and nature, clay modeling, painting, and craft work. There is continual exhibition of outstand- ing class work in the corridors of the school building. Practical ap- plication of art training Finds ex- pression in co-ordination with other departments and organizations. This year, art classes made favors and center pieces for the infantile paralysis bridgeg they assisted the music and dramatics departments by painting stage sets. Joining in the patriotic spirit, they made pic- torial records for the high school bond drives. HELEN I.. KOI'II. Ohio State University, B.S. in Ed. 18 LANGUAGE are also encouraged to speak it. Further interest is fostered through the reading of French novels and plays. Signifying a growing awareness of the importance of our Latin Ameri- can neighbors, a course in Spanish was introduced into the high school curriculum this year. Miss Bowers instructed students in basic vocab- ulary, and by the end of the year the class was taking an active in- terest in conversing in Spanish. As extra curricular work, students read books and novels pertaining to the customs, history, and reli- gions of South American countries. MUSIC Under the leadership of Mr. Pete the music department has risen to a place of honor. Through excel- lent training and hard work the choir, the band, and the orchestra have achieved the reputation of be- ing among the finest of their kind in the state. The opportunity to study under music teachers is given to any mem- ber of the student body. Those stu- dents selected by Mr. Pete may then participate in the musical or- ganization of their choice. Because of the ever present com- petition among the members of the organizations, a high musical stand- ard must be maintained by each participant. LOUIS E.

Our physical educa- tion department has undertaken to condition students for the increased strain and hardships brought on by these unsettled times. Mr. Boyd and Miss Whallon, department heads, are assisted by Mr. Buckner and Mr. Sherck. Fast, vigorous, competitive games and scientifically designed calis- thenics are emphasized in the streamlined gym instruction pro- grams. Boys who have reached the age of seventeen must spend one hour each day in the gymnasium, and every able-bodied student, boy or girl, is required to attend gym class twice weekly. Ever present, but especially so dur- ing a time of war, is the demand for young people trained in commer- cial work. Ashland High's commer- cial courses, taught by Mr. Kent, Miss Kirkendall, and Miss King, are not limited to typing and short- hand, but include a study of corn- mercial law, oflice practice, retail selling, and office machines. One or two years of typing are offered to students for both personal or busi- ness use. Two years of shorthand give students skill in taking dicta- tion, while ofiice practice and pro- duction classes gain practical ex- perience in the use of oilice ma- chines by turning out mimeograph- ed tests. Many of these students are now using this skill in part- time jobs. L. .I. KENT Ashland College, B.S. in Ed SIDNEY R. BOYD A. L. BLICKNER MARY E.

Mr. Krill's students study a four-year course in farming and agricul- tural economics. Miss Mengert and Miss Lutz teach their home eco- nomics classes the psychology of home life as well as the art of sewing and cooking. Ashland High offers a very extensive curricula in industrial arts. Stu- dents who choose this field enter Mr. Chandler's introductory shop classes which are preliminary to mechanical drawing, woodwork, and machine shop, taught by Mr. Tipton, Mr. Buckner, and Mr. Groff, respectively. Mr. Gates gives his printing classes practical training through the printing of programs, advertisements, and tickets for the school. Because of the instruction they receive in these subjects, boys are able to fill skilled industrial positions upon their graduation from high school.

SENIOR COUNCIL An artist of distinct quality is Ashland High School, a specialist in the field of educational painting. Many have heard of her and gazed upon her works, but now she has just finished her most wondrous painting. When she un- veils this work of art to the world this june, all critics will honor and acclaim it as her masterpiece. Only after four years of arduous work did Ashland High School finish her painting. Each year she added stroke after stroke, be- coming more and more confident as she near- ed the termination of her labors, until the finished product appeared-the Class of '44. The first year Ashland High School drew an outline for her painting. She sketched with quick, nervous strokes- the freshmen as they entered the algebra classroom for the first time, or as they brooded over a Latin note- book. As her subjects became adjusted, the artist became more assured and by the end of the first year Ashland High School had sketched the design that would serve as a working plan for the next three years. The second year the artist added basic colors as she depicted the Class of '44 making known its presence in athletics, scholarship, and music. Ashland High School took great care in the painting during this yearg for she knew that if the basic colors were not perfect, the finished product would not attain a place of honor in the world. As she looked upon her work at the end of the year, she wondered if perhaps in this yet unfinished canvas lay the culmination of her art. The third year the painter added the brilliant colors of a junior-the colors symbolizing the election of a junior cabinet, the choosing of class rings, and the maroon and silver of the new junior flag. She painted dashes of gay color to depict the class play, Mr. and Mrs. North, and dashes of blue and yellow to por- tray Holland, the imaginary setting of the Junior-Senior Prom. At the end of the third year the artist felt sure that this would be a creation worthy of her past reputation. The last year was devoted to applying the final colors and completing the deep back- ground. Now the artist depicted the Class of '44 as the leader in organizations, athletics, music, and dramatics. Here and there was added a somber color to represent the mem- bers of the class that went off to warg and then a dash of bright color to represent the Senior Class play, Junior Miss, and the picture was nearing completion. With a few final strokes the painting was finished, and as the artist, Ashland High School, gazed upon her work, she realized that here was her masterpiece-a masterpiece worthy of being hung in the gallery of life. -Russell Geisinger I V, 4 Margie Ambrose Future Homemakers' Association 1-2-3-4: Girl Reserves 3-4, usher 4 'Q X Barbara Atterbolt A award 33 Girls' Athletic Club 2-35 All-Star Volleyball 29 Choir 1-2-33 Girl Reserves 3-4, vice-presi- dent 3 X5 Donna Baker Zella Barr A award 45 Girls' Athletic Club Hayesville High School 1-2: Per- 2-3-4g All-Star Volleyball 35 Choir rysvillg High School 3 1-2-3-43 Girl Reserves 3-4, usher 4 C Richard Bales Robert M.

Many times has this adage been proved to the Class of '45. To us it seems as if the bent old man with the long white whiskers, the scythe, and the hour glass were whisking us far too swiftly through the pleasures and the hard work of high school life. It seems only yesterday that we entered Ashland High School, eagerly looking forward to the coming years. Be- wildered and hesitant at first, but growing more coniident day by day, we entered into the school activities-clubs, sports, music, and dramatics. Members of our class who represented us on the scholarship team won merit for themselves and the school. We were well represented on the honor roll. Before we were aware of it, our freshman year was over. A summer of work and play and we returned to the familiar faces, halls, and sounds of Ashland High. As we enthusiastically under- took our school program, we realized that we were becoming an inseparable part of Ash- land High School. More and more the Class of '45 was making for itself a reputation in scholarship, service, and leadership. We studied harder, we cared more about the im- provement of ourselves and our school. When the final estimate rolled around, the realiza- tion of the two years so swiftly passed made us resolve to do even better during the com- ing ones. Another summer passed, and we once again returned to Ashland High-this time as jun- iors. Following the precedent of classes be- fore us, we elected cabinet officers, selected the class colors, and chose our class rings. We proved our dramatic ability in the class play, The Bishop Misbehavesf' The high- light of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, was characteristic of the class in its outstand- ing success. Already the war was making itself felt as several members of the class had entered the armed forces. Now, as the year draws to a close, we stand upon the threshold of our senior year. Paus- ing here and looking back over the path of time we have traveled, we determine not only to uphold the tradition of our school, but also to carry it higher-to better our records, our- selves, and our school. -Bill Myers ui' fn 5.

Each student is given opportunity in this way to develop in himself leadership, self-reliance, and cooperation-those qualities which build good American citizens. To Opportunity 2 5 ' .

Holding a special place in the hearts of music lovers, this organization offers something that the others cannot supply. The strings take over, the reeds and brasses are softened, and the tympani replaces the trap drums as the Ashland High School orchestra demonstrates its ability. Presenting a Sunday afternoon concert, assisted by the choir, the group brings to its audience a type of music representative of large symphony orchestras. It also performs before and between the acts of the high school plays. To the members of this organization there is always a challenge. A technical skill, a sense of timing, and a feeling for music must be present in every member before the perfect performance can be achieved. BAND A late afternoon sun streams across crowded bleachers, a red, white, and blue Hag flies against a blue skyg and a black and orange band double- times it down a green held to the drumbeat of a stirring Sousa march. What would a football game be without these-without the Ashland High School band's performances before the game and during the half? Not only does the band add spirit to football games, but with its peppy marches it also lends zip and zest to the basketball games. The band displayed its versatility this year by presenting two Sunday afternoon twilight con- certs, demonstrating its ability as a concert band as well as a marching band. It performs its part in the war effort by participating in patriotic parades and rallies. In the summer the people of Ashland may sit under an open sky at Brookside Park and listen to the weekly band concerts. No member of this organization will ever .forget the thrill of exultation as one hundred pairs of feet keep perfect time to the cadences of a drum- beat, and the Ashland High School band marches on to greater and better success.

A moment of forgetfulness is brought to an audience in a war- torn world. Once again the Ashland High School a capella choir is presenting a twilight concert. For many years whenever the name of our school has been mentioned, music lovers have immediate- ly thought of the choir. To the members, however, the choir represents more than technical success. The memory of their days in this organization will never fade from their minds. Not one of them will ever forget the many periods spent in perfecting a program, the processional to Beautiful Savior, the thrill of achievement that comes from a job well done. Besides presenting its own Christmas and Easter concerts, the choir often assists in band and or- chestra concerts, participates in assemblies, and sings at various places outside the school. The a capella choir can stir the patriotism of its listen- ers, can make them laugh at the novelty numbers, or can bring to them a deep spiritual feeling, equal- ly well. As one of our outstanding organizations the choir, through its excellent singing, has brought high honor to our school. Little heard of and seldom praised though they are, the junior band and the junior choir are in- valuable as part of the music department. These two organizations give students an opportunity to lay the foundation needed for participation in the more advanced musical groups. Rehearsing once a week after school, the members of the junior band learn the art of playing together under one director, the Hrst lesson they must mas- ter. Ranging from elementary school to the elev- enth grade, these students work together to gain experience and a feeling for music-requisites for membership in the orchestra and the senior band. The junior band makes its hrst public appearance of the year when it plays for the annual Christ- mas assembly of the Junior English Club. Before a student may become a member of the a capella choir, he must sing in the junior choir. Not only does he receive the necessary training, but from the constant tryouts he learns to over- come shyness before an audience. The junior choir often assists the senior choir in its collaborations with the orchestra.

Membership in the club is attained by earning points which are awarded for acting in plays, serving on committees, selling tickets, or in some way contributing to the furtherance of dramatics in Ashland High School. In the fall the Thespian organization spon- sored its annual full-length production, the hilarious, yet spine-chilling Arsenic and Old Lace. Later in the year various members of the group directed a series of one-act plays. Troupe 29 also had the privilege of formally initiating Perrysville's Troupe No. 581 into the National Thespian Society. To give variety to their dramatic activities, Thespians added a potluck-cinema night to their program and sponsored a spring dance for members and their guests in room 216. lT'S A IIAID LII!

CHAR-R-R-MING LOISI lT'S AGAINST THE LAW OF AVERAGES SENIOR CLASS PLAY On May 19 the Senior Class play, junior Miss, was presented in McDowell Audito- rium. Directed by Miss Ginn, who was as- sisted by Gloria Schibley, student director, the comedy was an outstanding success. Heading the cast were Carolyn Hendry as chubby, thirteen-year-old Judy Graves and Bonnie Smith, as Judy's boisterous friend, Fuffy Adams. Judy's parents QBil1 Joseph and Joan Daltonj and her sophisticated sister Lois CBetty Lou Wellsj failed to be amused when she engineered a romance between shy Ellen Curtis CFlorence Bowmanj and Uncle Willis Reynolds QEdward Hoppesj, whom Judy suspects of a criminal past. Chief cause for their apprehension was Ellen's explosive father CAI Corradoj who happened to be Mr. Graves' boss. Lois's many admirers included smooth Sterl- ing Brown CCarl Lewisjg Merrill Feurbach, a shy boy QRonald Dreyerjg Albert Kunody, a stuffy little character QNei1 Strawserjg ag- gressive Tommy Arbuckle QDale Overlyjg and football stars, Charles and Henry fDoug- las Flaherty and Paul Burleyy. The lone man in Judy's life was Haskell Cummings CHaro1d Carnahanj, a pal of Fuffy's brother' Barlow CBob Schibley,. Adding comedy and confusion were Hilda, the maid CMiriam Gebhartj g Joe, the elevator boy CLee Millerjg and the singing Western Union Boy Uim Mannj. WHAT'S THE MATTER, HILDA?

TODD, HAUCK, AND SCHAFFER PRINTING, DEVELOPING WARRICK, FORBES, AND DEIBLER INSPECTING NEGATIVES PHOTOGRAPHY STAFF The photography staff may be called upon to take pictures at any hour of the day or night. Under the direction of Mr. Todd these boys take most of the pictures used in the Pano- rama and the Guide. The staff did all photog- raphy for the '44 Guide except individual class pictures. The photography staff this year exposed over five hundred films and printed over one thousand pictures. In addition to taking the pictures the staff does its own developing, printing, retouch- ing, enlarging, and reducing. For several years Mr. Todd has taught boys how to do this work, usually demanding a year of ap- prenticeship in the dark room before al- lowing them to do any of the actual photog- raphy. Then, through instruction and actual practice,they learn some of the arts of photog- raphy such as light exposure, action shots, and composition. The members of this club are boys who pos- sess ability and display a definite interest in photography. Mr. Todd chooses those who have maintained good scholastic records and who have exhibited in their mathematics classes such traits as neatness and accuracy. Two years ago the staff began making por- traits for individuals, charging only for the cost of materials. Ever since, there has been great demand among pupils and teachers of the school for these high-quality pictures. SMITH LINDOWER, KILZER, AND WARRICK ENLARGING . 1, fi A ,tv-.I f'fw,g,,, ,5 f - ., .

E...-.- LEWIS AND ESBENSHADE LOOKING AT NEGATIVES u U A ov4v MERLE TELLS MIRIAM THE FINE POINTS ANN, DON, ANNE, AND MISS ROTI-I SET OFF FOR NEW YORK CONNIE AND RUTH AT WORK DONNA AND BETTY JUNE FILE PANORAMA STAFF Above the clamor and din that is ever present in room 115, may be heard the clatter of Bes- sie, the typewriter, as some harried editor turns out copy for a last minute deadline. In keeping with its slogan, Know the Truth, the Panorama tries to give a complete picture of school activities. Don Campbell, the front page editor, and Connie Boyd, his assistant, report the news of assemblies, elections, and play casts. Editorials, letters to the editor, and feature stories are handled by Anne Chrisman, second page editor, while stories for the third page are written by Ann Hurd and Donna Witmer. Merle McKinley and his assistant, Miriam Gebhart, cover Ashland High's sports events. All Panorama cartoons are scratched out on chalk plates by Ruth Dilgard, the staff artist. Betty june Myers, upon whom the whole staff depends, is in charge of circulation. A victory extra, devoted to the part that Ashland High is playing in the war effort and dedicated to the school's graduates who have died in this war, was a May edition. During the third week in March Miss Roth, Don Campbell, Anne Chrisman, and Ann Hurd attended the Scholastic Press Associa- tion in New York City, where they exchanged ideas with high school journalists from all over the country. To commemorate the sixth birthday of the Panorama, the members of the staff, assisted by Miss Roth's speech class, presented a very successful assembly. -v- GUIDE STAFF Despite shortages and the increased demand on time and effort brought on by the war, the 1944 Guide staff faithfully recorded the events of 1943- '44 at Ashland High School. Headaches of admin- istration were shared by Neil Strawser,-editor, Ruth Nelson, business managerg and Miss Welch, faculty adviser. Co-ordinators joan Cross and Florence Bowman scheduled pictures and assisted the photography staff in addition to planning page layouts and mounting pictures. From the pen and typewriter of copy editor Donna Dillon came many lines of original and revised copy, while Alton Chapman, a sophomore, did all the illustra- tions. As is the practice, the editorial staff worked as a group on all sections of the book. However, certain members of the staff had specific duties as well. Supervising the sports sections were Lee Miller for boys and Erva jean Burns for girls. Sarah Freer had charge of the feature section. Completing the editorial staff were Elinor Loris, who suggested the design for the cover, and Shir- ley Shenberger, both of whom worked with indi- vidual class pictures and made posters. While members of the business staff often aided in solving editorial problems, they were mainly con- cerned with salesmanship, advertising, and finan- cial matters. Headed by Ruth Nelson, the business staff was comprised of Carolyn Hendry, advertis- ing managerg Miriam Gebhart, publicity managerg and Louise Halter and Mary Elizabeth Stauffer to both of whom fell the matters connected with cir- culation and distribution. On the Guide staff this year were two junior as- sistants, Margaret Finney and Peggy Faulkner, who helped out wherever possible. A third junior assistant, joan Haflinger, moved to Cleveland at mid-year. ...ag .WH sl! . . .. KZ, in . W , I . Q, of A kv I A , Qi. X .31 A Ei v J ' S, 2 ,.

The College Club provides its mem- bers with the opportunity of becoming better acquainted with colleges and universities throughout the country. Appearing on pro- grams this year were representatives of vari- ous colleges who spoke to the club about the curriculum, activities, tuition, and advan- tages of their respective schools. Because of the wide vocational Fields discussed in the College Club program, students not anticipat- ing college were privileged to join the organi- zation in the hope that they might be aided in selecting a vocation. A trip to Ashland College and a potluck sup- per helped to vary the activities of the club during the year. In conjunction with the National Honor So- ciety, the College Club maintains a student loan fund for deserving Ashland High gradu- ates who desire a college education. 70 FIRST ROW: Paul Minesinger, president Florence Bowman, vice president Sarah Freer, secretary SECOND ROW: joan Moore, treasurer Marilyn Mowrey Carolyn Hendry THIRD ROW: Carolyn Countryman Eugene Garrison Doris Mendenhall Barbara Tavlor Louise Halter FOURTH ROW: Elnora Littleton Lodelle Ross Edward Hoppes Virginia Marsh Miss Franz, adviser FIRST ROW: Walter Hauck Eleanor Mae Lomax Bill Myers SECOND ROW: Wilma Kiefer Mac Sloufer Ann Hurd THIRD ROW: Kathryn Souder Merle McKinley Laura Lou Home Gwyneth Gibson Joyce Stockdale FOURTH ROW: Wilma Ritter Joann Halliday Gloria Barr Vivian Krill Kathryn Hilty FIFTH ROW: Beverly Zehner Marilyn StouFfer Lee Metcalf Betsy Donlev Connie Boyd ABSENT: Ella Mae Bolin Barbara Brandt jack Detrow Elizabeth Kerr Lee Miller FIRST ROW: Tom Quong, president Sarah Freer, vice-president Mary Bsmhill, secretary SECOND ROW: Bob Kreider. treasurer Frances Wolf Harold Shorts THIRD ROW: Marilyn Mowrey Louise Bolin Betty Lou Herbrand Herbert Leibfnrth Claribel Shriver FOURTH ROW: joe Urie june Dilgard Jean Lutz Anne Garretson Don Campbell FIFTH ROW: Mr. Gorsuch, adviser FIRST ROW: Norma Woelfiing David Plank Duane Anderson SECOND ROW: Byron Dilgard Joe Weirick Jim Cowan THIRD ROW: Don Staley Beverly Brown Marion Scott jane Atterholt Speros Karas FOURTH ROW: Carol Marsh Dick Hess Vivian Willis Patti Mosher CliH'ord Hurst FIFTH ROW: Louis Fritz jean Lentz ABSENTY Ann Myers Archie Soules Carolyn Wile STUDENT SENATE The importance of self-government is constantly brought before us today. Re- flecting the importance of their office, the faces of our senators are earnest with purposeg for the oiiice of senator means the responsibility of representing Ash- land High's student opinions. Elected in the early fall by the members of his home room, each representative is expected to make a weekly report to it of the Senate's activities. Also, this year there was introduced a point system whereby a senator must do a certain amount of committee work and, measure up to certain standards in order to main- tain membership in good standing. The Student Senate set off the 4th War Loan Drive in the school with a rousing bond rally. Other services were the spon- soring of the all-school dances and the providing of doormen at the noon mov- ies. 71 K , JUNIOR GIRL RESERVES Fresh white middies and bright blue ties identify any member of the Girl Reserves. As the younger half of this group, the junior Girl Reserves strive to inspire better friendship and higher ideals of womanhood among their members. This year the club contributed greatly to the war effort by making Scrapbooks for servicemen, sending toys to English children at Christ- mas, and donating a generous gift to the Red Cross. Relieving the shortage of nurses, they gave much needed assistance to the staff at Samaritan Hospital. At various times they attended as a group different churches in the city. In addition to this long list of ac- tivities the members held a picnic, gave a mother-daughter banquet, and sponsored the mid-winter Gir' Reserve dance at Tavteen.

A high school organization which is a part of the Y. W. C. A., it endeavors to create a more friend- ly spirit among senior girls. The program for the year included speakers and group gatherings. One of the meetings featured a joint party with the Senior Hi-Y. At another, a private from the Wom- en's Army Corps told about the requirements for the WAC, the different fields of work offered, and the experiences of new re- cruits in basic training. This year as always the G. R.'s presented the traditional and impressive Easter assembly. The final meeting was a banquet in honor of the girls' mothers. 73 A la-1 ,QS- .isis 1 Y W FIRST ROW: Dick Stauffer, president: Bob Bohn, vice-president: Bud Strine, secretary: Bob Moore, treasurer: jim Gossett, chaplain SECOND ROW: Dick Crosby, Dick Eabenshade, Carl Blurnenschein, Leon Jacobs, Charles Dilgard THIRD ROW: Hubert Jackson, Bob McClaran, jack Helsel, Bill Chandler, Bob Brian, Dick I-Iazlett, David Kick FOURTH ROW: Jack Boeh, jim Kilcher, Bill Botdorf FIFTH ROW: Mr. Hartman, adviser: Bob Kreider: Howard Sponsler: Dick Denbow: john Edwards: John Bonliglio ABSENT: Bob Auer: Bob Miller, sergeant-nt-arms JUNIOR HI-Y A stepping stone towards the Senior Hi-Y is the junior section of the club which in- cludes selected freshman and sophomore boys. These boys must conform to the club ideals of clean living, clean speech, clean sportsmanship, and clean scholarship. Since both Hi-Y groups are closely afliliated with the Y. M. C. A., the club's main objective is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of OUT OF SUFFERING COMES HAPPINESS Christian character and leadership. Once in the fall and again in the spring, meetings are devoted to round table discussions to analyze the character of each member. The spring round table reviews the results of the sug- gestions offered in the fall. Planning their meetings after those of the senior group, the members of the Junior Hi- Y participated in such activities as game nights, potlucks, and devotional meetings.

Most students like to participate in at least one as- sembly during the school year. The thrill of appearing before the footlights and the chance to exhibit one's talents are vital parts of high school life. In order to give every member an opportunity to participate in a program, this club present- ed two assemblies. Working long and hard, these future Thespians produced their an- nual Christmas assembly, this year entitled Santa Claus on the Air. In February they gave a successful talent show which was one of the most popular patriotic assemblies of the year. judging from their appearances before the student body, the members of this seventh grade organization have acquired poise and have overcome self-consciousness. x..

The Koda Klub was first organized in 1938 and immediately dedicated itself to serving the school and promoting friendship. Throughout the year Koda members are en- gaged in such projects as assisting with scrap drives, supervising the bicycle courts, and participating in round table discussions for I personal betterment. Although service is the predominant note, the calendar also includes a well-rounded social program. Highlights this year were a barn party, several potlucks, a picnic at Brookside Park, and a meeting at the Miller Recreation Hall. Religion, too, has its place, for the members of this organization attend church as a group once each month.

Its purpose is to increase the members' knowl- edge of French and the spoken word as well as to oHer a better opportunity for social contacts between students in French classes. It also attempts to foster a better understand- ing of the customs and civilization of France. At the meetings this year one of the most timely subjects discussed was the position of France today. The works and lives of French artists were also studied. Another feature of the programs was the group singing of French songs to facilitate usage of the language. Social highlights of the year were a Christ- mas dinner and a farewell party for seniors.

It offers further opportunity to study the people and customs of Latin America. Popularly known as the Spanish Club, the group made a study of noted Latin American artists and personages. Supplementing their study, they visited the home of John C. Myers to view his collection of paintings. Guest speakers at two of their meetings were Mrs. Nagy and Miss Patten, who related stories about their teaching experiences in South America and Puerto Rico. They also described Latin American customs, manners of dress, and forms of entertainment. The organization enjoyed such social diver- sions as a scavenger hunt, a potluck, and a movie on South America.

The aim of every member in all the or- ganizations in the state is to win the coveted State Farmer Degree. Three members-Paul Kestner, Earl McNaull, and Robert Lewis-brought honor to both themselves and their group by win- ning this award. In addition many of the boys entered their prize livestock for competition in the Ashland County Fair. The opening meeting of the year was the formal initiation of new members.

Meetings during the year featured talks by outside speakers, especially on sub- jects pertaining to home life. Interesting addresses were given by Mrs. H. E. An- drews, who spoke on Boy and Girl Rela- tionships, and Mrs. Daum, county health nurse, who told about her expe- riences in the Hawaiian Islands. Although the members spent much of their time in hard work, they found time for such diversions as a box-social, a rab- bit supper with the Future Farmers of America, and a mother-daughter ban- quet.

Members are given a chance to participate in various sports and to develop early in life a Fine sense of sportsman- ship. Their athletic program this year, consisting of kick ball, court basketball, and baseball, was not as varied as that of the senior club, but members derived as much enjoy- ment and benefit from it. The Jr. G. A.

The Sr. Girls' Athletic Club attempts to promote interest in sports as a means of securing healthful recreation and physical development. The girls with A's rendered valu- able service to both school and com- munity by ushering at home foot- ball games and assisting with ra- tioning. Two highlights of the year were the All-Star Basketball Game and participation in the Physical Fit- ness Institute at Galion. Sr. G. A. C. members had their so- cial functions too. Features of the year were the Christmas and Valen- tine dances and the two events which all members look forward to -the annual mother-daughter ban- quet and the senior farewell party. R?

Their duties con- sist of arranging books on the shelves, check- ing them in and out, and taking care of library passes. On the lighter side of the club's activities during the year were a hobo convention, Christmas and St. Patrick's Day parties, and a mock commencement in honor of the senior members. Aside from their service to the school, the club made five cartoon scrapbooks to be sent to the wounded servicemen in Fletcher Gen- eral Hospital, Cambridge, Ohio.

From this need has grown the little sister of the Future Homemakers' Association, the Junior High Home Eco- nomics Club. One of the few clubs open to eighth-grade girls, this organization has a two-fold purpose: to give its mem- bers a chance to associate with other girls and to help them become better homemakers. During the course of the year, members of this group held a picnic, a Christmas dance, and a swimming party. To dem- onstrate their culinary art and to climax their activities for the year, they served a mother-daughter tea.

To direct this spirit into meaning and uniform- ity are the cheerleaders, brightly clad in the orange and black of the school colors. At basketball games and rallies as well, these students are ever present to encourage our teams on to victory. The Cheerleaders' Club was organized to fur- ther the training and interest of younger stu- dents in this vital part of the school's sports program. From this club five experienced students and one alternate are chosen who are known as the varsity and whose duty it is to lead cheers at school events. GO, VARSITY, GOI ARCH!! CHAPTER II . ...ATHLETICS S N D I N N . C . O . Those ten Ashland seniors who saw action in their last high school football game on November 26 are Dick Patterson, Bill Joseph, Bob Dove, Ross Fortney, jack Schaffer, jack Harris, Tom Hoffman, Ted Jacobs, Paul Boyer, and Lee Miller. An alumnus, reminiscing of the days of his athletic career, remembers mostly the high points-the crucial, Heeting mo- ments of any contest. This becomes truer as the years obscure all the small, unimportant details. The cuts and bruises which are an inevitable part of football will soon be forgotten, but the memory of this game or that game will still remain years after graduation. Undoubtedly, too, the spirit of sacrifice and teamwork they picked up on the gridiron will stand these lettermen in good stead long after they leave Ashland High School. They have learned to play a game, not as a means to an end, but for the garne's sake alone.

Coach Buckner, knowing that experienced var- sity material was at a premium, decided to build his offensive around his trio of veterans-Dove, Joseph, and Patterson. He also revised his strategy to include a set of plays from the T-formation, hoping to gain in speed and deception what was lacking in weight. This proved to be a wise move, for although the A's of a year ago averaged nearly 185 pounds to a man, the team that took the field in the opening game against Willard last fall averaged only about 160 pounds. To the astonishment of everyone concerned, including the coach, the squad of '43 turned out to be one big surprise pack- age and did quite well for themselves. But it wasn't all luck. Far from it.

Determined that it wou1dn't happen again, the A's tore into Marion Harding's Presidents and came out with a scoreless tie. Victory over the two remaining league opponents, Galion and Mt. Vernon, would have given Ashland a co-champion- ship with Marion. But overconfidence crept in again, and a supposedly weak Galion team held the A's to a 7-7 tie. Enraged, Ashland traveled to Mt. Vernon and spanked the Yellowjackets, 43-0, in the closing game, thus finishing second in the N. C. O. League. Final tally: five wins, one loss, and two ties. Post-season honors came to Bob Dove, Dick Patterson, and Western Wiles, selected for first string all-N. C.

That mysterious Providence which has ridden with Marion Harding's Presidents for the past four years has finally vanished for Ashland holds the 1943-44 N. C. O. League basketball championship. It was the opinion of those who knew, in pre-season discussion, that Ashland would put a pretty good team on the floor this winterg for there was plenty of veteran material back from the varsity of a year ago. In fact it would have been quite a blow had the A's proved to be anything but good. But it is unlikely that anyone, no matter how optimistic, would have predicted a season as successful as this one. This squad of '43-44 has quite a string of achieve- ments, of which the North Central Ohio championship naturally is most important. In a nineteen-game sched- ule the A's won sixteen and lost only two games to Mansfield and one to Clearview. One of the veterans, first-string forward Ted Jacobs, broke the league scor- ing record and established one of his own with 229 points. Then he followed through and at season's end had a new school record of 376 points. The squad itself equalled the school scoring high for a single game by crushing Shelby, 88 to 45. The grand finale came when four of the first five, all seniors, were mentioned on TED JACOBS BOB MILLER Forward Guard G d 93 RECORD FOR SEASON'S POINT TOTAL c., i.., , 1 BUD STRINE Forward tin ' ,gym . either all-League or all-Ohio teams. Geisinger, Harris, and Jacobs were placed on the all-N. C. O. First live, while Schaffer was given honorable mention. Jacobs was picked for second-string all-Ohio, and Harris re- ceived honorable mention. Altogether the A's piled up a total of 1069 points as against their opponents' 761, which is, incidentally, another school record. The only dull spot in a long and sparkling season came when Ashland was eliminated from the Bellevue tourn- ament in the second round by Mansiield's Tygers, after downing Norwalk in the first game. Five seniors have graduated from the squad: Jack Harris, Ted Jacobs, Russ Geisinger, and Jack Schaffer from the regularsg and Tom Hoffman from the second string, who proved invaluable in his only year of var- sity play. All considered, those five seniors have every right to remember their basketball team of 1943-44 and to be proud of their participation on it. In spite of transportation difficulties the junior varsity was revived again this season, after being discontinued a year ago. Coached by Paul Sherck, the juniors won seven out of thirteen games and will undoubtedly pro- vide Coach Buckner with some very likely varsity po- tentials for next winter.

The A. H. S. spring sportsmen have yet to meet Galion and Wooster and have two games pending with Canton McKinley-one at home and one at Canton. They have already beaten Wooster once, bowed to Galion once, and de- feated Shelby twice. The first-string lineup on the diamond looks something like this: Yeagle, cg Dove, pg Hoff- man, lbg Hurst or Schaffer, Zbg Jacobs, 3b3 Harris, ssg Herron or Tharp, lf, McDaniel, cf, Fulmer, rf. Although it was originally planned to aban- don spring sports for the duration, enough interest was displayed to warrant continua- tion of the baseball program, while track, tennis, and golf became casualties of war. About half of this season's baseball squad are seniors. The eight boys who are graduating are Harry McDaniel, Bob Dove, Jack Harris, Tom Hoffman, Ted Jacobs, Jack Schaffer, Don Fulmer, and Allan Donelson. With a squad which is much smaller than usual, Coach Boyd has to use the experience of his veterans to the best possible advantage. He has it, too, for all but two of his seniors, Hoff- man and Donelson, are rounding out their second stretch of varsity baseball. Although a pitcher always gets either credit or blame for the outcome of a game, every intelligent sports fan knows that the team behind that pitcher is usually just as respon- sible. Every man, from catcher to shortstop to outfielder, must be on his toes and backing his hurler to the utmostg for in a tough, close ball game one man can lose the day with a single error. This baseball team of '44 is no different from any other. Every victory re- sulted from the fact that the pitcher had be- hind him that spirit which can weld nine individuals into a single unit.

This year, however, had you met a sen- ior first team member-though she look ex- hausted-her spirits would not have been lagging. Reason: school champions-victori- ous in every game! Soccer, which opens the year's sports sched- ule, may be selected by sophomore, junior, and senior girls. Those who win a place on the first team receive fifty pointsg those on second, twenty-live. KICKBALL While the senior G. A. C. members play soc- cer, the members of the younger club play kickball in the girls' gym. After participants have attended six practice games, first teams are chosen. This year the ninth grade teams were school champions. BASKETBALL Since more girls turn out for this game than any other, basketball can easily be conceded the title Girls' Most Popular Sport. Be- cause there are so many more participants and competition is so much keener, third teams are chosen as well as first and second ones. Points are awarded as follows: first teams, seventy-fiveg second teams, fifty, third teams, twenty-five.
