Dedication To YOU who are pictured on the title page of this book, to YOU who serve as members of the various Boards of Education who are not pictured on the title page and to YOU who have served as board mem- bers or, who will serve as such in the future we dedicate the SPEEDOMETER OF 1951. VVe have tried to show our appreciation in this volume of all of the contributing agencies aiding the board members of the Portage County Schools in building and maintaining the fine school system which we have for the youth of the county. If it were not for the endless work of board members in the whole system we could not show in the pages of this book the graphic proof of achievement that is pictured herein. The title page of our book is a picture of a pa-nel discussion called by Mr. Rausch in the fall of 1950 for clarincation of financial problems and general questions under Dr. Robert L. Rohe of The State De- partment of Education. At this meeting we were hoping that all members of local boards could be pho- tographed as the formation of Southeast District was completed and many members of local boards were retiring at the end of the year. At that time tive schools, Charlestown, Deerfield, Edinburg, Palmyra and Paris combined their sev- eral high schools to make Southeast High School while retaining their local buildings as elementary cen- ters. Shalersville and Streetsboro also became elementary schools sending their secondary students to strengthen other high schools of the county. The Ga-rrettsville-Nelson merger has precedence of time over the mergers of 1951 however and has proved satisfactory in many ways. The State Department of Education has found the larger unit to be more satisfactory and, again we must thank you board members for helping with the problems which come out of centralization. After you board members, we Wish to thank the personnel of the county office under Mr. Rausch. Mrs. Wilcox, with her work in Speech and Hearing Therapy, Mrs. Martin, for her patience with our staff with our numerous troubles in compiling the book, Mr. Mullaly, who is responsible for seeing that all the boys and girls are present on the day Speedometer pictures are taken - all these fine people have aided us as part of your schools. Dr. Sternlieb and his fine sta-ff of county nurses have been the soul of a fine health program for our boys and girls while Mrs. Clelland and her staff of the Portage County Bookmobile deserve credit for bringing a richness of literature into the lives of our young people. We have listed our cooperating agencies under the heading of V. I. P's. for they are Very Import- ant Persons. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Boards of Education of Portage County, the Student Editors, the Student Business Managers and Administrative Committee members of the Portage County SPEEDOM- ETER of 1951 herewith dedicate this book to you. SOUTHEAST SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION Charles Powers, Everett Thorpe, Mason McConnell, Pres., Wendell Strausser, V.

Working with the faculty sponsor they have done a Hne job portraying the high-lights of each school's activities. ClIO0L 7 w At ater Raymond llenns Nickname-Hay Football 2, 3, 4.

Grade Ten Grade Eight Grade Six Grade Four Grade Two Grade Nine Grade Seven Grade Five Grade Three Grade One Greetings, guys and gals. Welcome to another eventful year at good old A. H. S. Atwater High opened her doors September 5 to greet 100 students who were anxious to begin pondering over schedules and school activities for a new principal and music teacher had joined the staff of brain-builders, and the students could hard- ly wait to try them out. The classes soon became organized and officers were elected. Gertrude Douthitt headed the Senior classg Lavada McHenry, the Juniors, Bill Draku- lich, the Sophomoresg Peck Marts, the Freshmen, Tom Knapp, the eighth gradeg and Nevin Werten- berger, the seventh grade. Phyllis Stephenson and Betty Miller, Juniors, and Irene Graham and Gertrude Douthitt, Seniors, were chosen by the student body to be cheerleaders. Our football season go-t under way September 8 at the Annual Grotto Prevues but a disappointment was in store for the Spartans as Ravenna Town- ship defeated the team 6-0. Some of the highlights of the season were the Athletic Auction which net- ted S5166 to be used for equipment for the Spartans and 'Che fourth Annual Homecoming over which Phyllis Stephenson reigned as queen and Glenn Libis, football captain, as king. The season ended triumphantly with no losses, but with two ties, which made us County Champs. The team enjoyed a chicken dinner at the Tall Pines at which time the trophy was presented to them. Next on the list of events was the Seniors' trip to Massillon for pictures. A visit to McK.inley's rinonument was also enjoyed by the Seniors that ay. 65 Several field trips were taken by the various classes. The home economics girls enjoyed a trip to 0'Neils in Akron, and the commercial. law class visited a trial at Ravenna Court House. ' Crazy But Cute , the Senior play, got under way in November and weather conditions finally per- mitted its presentation in December. Irene Graham and Ray Beans headed the Maga- zine Drive. The top salesma-n, who received the portable radio, was Wayne Hrovatic. Mrs. Sherret appeared in the spot light along with the mixed chorus as t-hey presented a pro- gram of Christmas music at P. T. A. and the Com- munity Christmas. The members of the class of 1952 received their class rings and soon sported their blue and gray class jackets. The members of the class of 1953 ex- citedly ordered their rings and jackets and will proudly be wearing them next year. The basketball sea-son was less flowery for the Spartans as they suffered quite a few losses, but that still didn't bother them as they kept right on tighting. The month of April found the Juniors very busy presenting their class play and giving the Seniors a Prom they wouldn't forget. But the month of May found the Seniors even busier as they started the month off with a won- derful trip to Washington, D. C. and ended it by marching down that aisle in caps and gowns wit-h tears in their eyes, smiles on their faces, and out- stretched hands for that achievement of twelve years, a diploma.

Clelland and her assistants has become an established institution with the schools of the county. Working on a schedule that includes every corner of Portage County, the bookrnobile supplies the needs of adults and children with wholesome literature from its well-stocked shelves. In tfhis way communities that have little or no library facilities can secure books on any sub- ject for any age group. Primary teachers may have collections of books for the little folk while children from third grade up become familiar with the process of borrowing their own beloved favorites. When the big bookmobile pulls into the school or is found parked at a country cross-road we know that rural youth is enjoying another privilege grant- ed by tihe American way of life.

Stormed By 40 New Students Aurora- started the year 1950-51 with an addition- al 40 students from Streetsboror and four new faculty members. At the beginning of the football season the senior class sponsored a Boniire Pep Rally, welcoming the new coach and students. All of the home games were played on the new field. At the end of the season the G. A. A. and Varsity Club sponsored the annual Homecoming Dance with Ethel Lucas reigning as queen. An All Sports Ban- quet was served by the men of the P. T. A. at Streetsboro Gym where Aurora played all its home basketball games this year. The senior class, doubled in number with the com- ing of the Streetsboro students, started off the year with an Ice Capades Party followed by the annual trip to Massillon for senior pictures and a visit to the State Hospital. Looking forward to the trip, they sponsored a P. T. A. dinner and sold Christmas cards to boost the treasury. The Student Council was divided into two groups this year, one for grades seven and eight and one for grades nine through twelve, In November the Fall Festival was given for the benefit of the Ath- letic Association and for the purchase of furniture for the stage. Student Council also was responsible for the Thanksgiving and Christmas programs in addition to a series of movies and assemblies throughout the year. The Y-Teens, being anxious to interest all the new girls, gave a Coketai1 Party and later initiat- ed many of the guests as new members at a Candle- light Ceremonial. Their first project of the year was a trip to- the Cleveland Health Museum. Christmas came with the usual round of parties including the Junior-Senior Christmas Prom which this year was held at the Streetsboro Gym. Then Y-Teens joined with the Hiram Y-Teens in a Christ-Z mas Formal the same as last year. The junior class presented the three-act play, Don't Take My Penny after much conflict with the big snow. The sophomores brought forth Uheir talents by presenting two one-act plays in March, While the seniors followed with the three-act play, A Date With Judy in April. Between Christmas and the end of school, the G. A. A. and the Y-Teens kept things moving with a Mother-Daughter Tea at Streetsboro, the Valen- tine Dance, the Mother-Daughter Banquet, the an- nual trip to the Opera, and May day. At the end of the year the juniors honored the seniors with a dinner dance. The usual round of senior activities including Baccalaureate, Class Night, and the Senior Assembly preceded the long- awaited date of May 25, Commencement. A few days later the seniors were on their Way to the Smokies by way of the Skyline Drive, Natural Bridge, and many other points of interest. FOOTBALL Hiram .............. ........ 0 Aurora.

One of the most important activities is our May Day ceremony. The May Queen will be appointed from the ninth grade class by the Junior High. Clarence Wright, ninth grade class president and patrol captain, will escort the queen. The whole school is looking forward to a gala day at Geauga Lake on the last day of schoofl.

Shalersville students had increased our high school to 129 students. The new building, which was recently completed, provides space for the growing classes in agricul- ture, industrial arts, mechanical drawing, and in- strumental music. The library has been greatly modernized and en- larged and is rapidly gaining the standards of a Class A library. One of the main events of the fall was the Home- coming foo-tball game and dance. Rita Hale, the homecoming queen, was escorted to her throne by the co-captains of the football team, Andy Oros Grade Two Grade Four Grade Six Grade Eight and Dick Hon. Her attendants were Juanita Hos- tetler, Joyce Lesnak, Gwendolyn Hon, and Harriet Payden. In November the Seniors presented the western comedy, Desperate Ambrose , directed by Mrs. Horton Alger. During the winter months basketball was the major attraction. The team had enthusiastic sup- port from the community and were favored by sev- eral victory parties at the school. The school newspaper, the Bellringer, was reor- ganized and several interesting issues have been published. Mrs. James Davis is the sponsor and David Lockwood, the editor. Grade Eleven Grade Nine F. F. A. Grade Ten Faculty Safety Patrol Beta Club Three one-act plays, Love Hits Wilbur , Ma- ma's Getting Married , and Hillbilly Sue were given by the freshman, sophomore, and senior class- es respectively on March 21. With Springtime came the production of the de- li-ghtful operetta, Tulip Time with a cast of Hfty voices from the high school. As a climax to Latin Week, the Latin classes, with Mrs. Davis as sponsor, held a Roman Banquet on March 16. At the annual athletic banquet Coach Emil George presented letters and certiticates of partici- pation to the five cheerleaders and to the boys who played football and basketball. Awards were also given to winners of the intramural basketball championship teams and to individual players. The mixed chorus, girls' ensemble, instrumental ensembles, piano, instrumental and vocal solos, un- der the direction of Mrs. Alger and Mr. Hayes, en- tered district and state competition in early April. On April 27, the junior class presented a three- act comedy directed by Mrs. Davis. The Junior-Senior Prom, one of the most color- ful events of the school year, was given in early May. Graduation exercises were held on May 25 with Mr. Alden Green, school board president, present- ing diplomas to our twenty-seven seniors.

Southeast High School rolled into motion on Sep- tember 5, when 254 pupils reported for the first day of school. The school was under the efficient direc- tion of Mr. Paul Pfeiffer. The faculty included Mrs. Sara Hoyt, mathematicsg Mrs. Ada Stokes, foreign languagesg Miss Adele Phillips, English and speech, Miss Marian Zapka, commercialg Mrs, Mildred Fall, English, biology, and girls physical education: Mrs. Jane Carducci, commercial: Mr. Merrill Dade, science, Mrs. Bernice Coffman, art and home eco- nomicsg Mr. Fordor Hofus, shop, Mrs. Dortha Ruck- man, vocal music, Mr. Kenneth Ruckman, instru- mental musicg Mr. Edward Olszewski, who replaced Mr. Charles Heisa who resigned, social sciences and boys' physical education. ' Mrs. Thelma Lee, the office secretary, ably han- dled all those numerous tasks which have to be done in a school office. Our improving and expand- ing library was under the capable direction of Mrs. Dade. The first few weeks of the year were taken up with getting used to the new routine of classes, and having the class pictures and the senior pictures taken. A number of dances were sponsored by the junior and senior classes during the first semester. The hi-light of the semester was the football dance sponsored by the junior class. Ruth Sampson was crowned the football queen at this dance. After returning from our Christmas vacation we ran smack into the first semester exams. When we had surmounted this obstacle, we started on our second semester activities. Included in these activities were dances, the basketball tournament, the junior play, Half-Past 'Teen , directed by Mrs. Fall, and the senior play directed by Miss Phillips. We had many other activities, too. Noon hours during the year were filled with recreational activi- ties, such as movies, dancing, and intramural bas- ketball games. We had an active safety patrol under the direction of Mr. Hofus. We also had an interesting and busy year in athletics. Most of the time, of course, we studied. Reach- ing for the ultimate goals of graduation and suc- cess in life, we put a great deal of energy into our studies. The elimination scholarship tests were held in April. Our scholarship team represented us ably at the Kent State district tests held early in May. School came to a close with numerous and im- portant events. Final exams, of course, the junior- senior prom, and recognition night were three of the events. Baccalaureate services were held May 20. The great night for the seniors came on May 26 when Commencement exercises were held in the school auditorium. The successful school year of 50-51 came to an end on May 29, 1951.

New teachers this year included Miss Rapstock and Mrs. Hurd, nrst and second grade teachers re- spectively. Mr. and Mrs. Ruckman served as music instructors. Mrs. Ruckman taught vocal music and Mr. Ruckman handled instrumental music, an in- novation at Charlestown School. A masquerade was held in October under the sponsorship of the P. T. A., and the same organiza- tion sponsored a Christmas party before we were dismissed for Christmas vacation. Entertainment for this party was provided in music and plays by the various rooms. The safety patrol served the school faithfully as safety mentors on the playground and busses. A successful seventh and eighth grade basketball team represented our school athletically through- out the season. The home-room mothers quite liberally brought treats to the students on special occasions. April came, and the eighth graders were subject- ed to the annual state tests. May brought thoughts of but one thing - the termination of the school year-at long last! Grade One Grade Three Grade Five Grade Seven Grade Two Grade Four Grade Six Grade Eight Deerfield Grade Deerfield School opened September 5 amid much confusion as one of the four elementary schools in the new Southeast District. In a comparatively short time, considering our tremendous job of re- organization, we were running smoothly with only an occasional bounce. The Annual School Fair, sponsored by the P. T. A., was held September 30. Many exhibits were dis- played and prizes awarded. A chicken and ham supper was an added feature this year, and a play, The Womanless Wedding concluded a very suc- cessful day. Goblins and ghosts ran wild at the Halloween So- cial endorsed by the Band Boosters and the P. T. A. The tales of being snow-bound after Thanksgiv- ing wore thin with the coming of Santa Claus. The first six grades gave a cantata, The Christmas Party directed by the teachers and music directors. A free movie and candy treat, courtesy of the teachers and janitor, preceded the individual class- room parties. The basketball season arrived with the New Year. Any rules against stilts on the basketball court? . . . and we don't mean for the cheerleaders . . . they speak for themselves! Robin Redbreast will round out the year activities with 8th grade tests, recognition banquet, and long awaited graduation. Grade One Grade Three Grades Five and Six Grade Eight Grade Two Grade Four Grade Seven Chorus Palm ra Grade Dear Brother: You asked in your last letter for news about your alma mater, Palmyra School. Since you left for the army, some changes have taken placeg you wouldn't recognize the school once you walked through the building. The first day of school brought many new faces, including students and teachers. The principal and eighth grade teacher is Mr. John J. Mendiolag you see, we only have eight grades now. The seventh grade teacher is Mr. William Peterson, who also has part of the sixth grade. Mrs. Helen Spencer has the fifth grade and half of the sixth. Mrs. Dor- othy Hickman is the fourth grade teacher and Mrs. Alice Shipley has the third -grade. Mrs. Thelma Wig- glesworth teaches the second grade, and Mrs. Paul- ine McKinney, the first grade. Our enrollment of 210 consists of children from Palmyra and Edinburg. They have all worked to- gether so amazingly well that you couldn't tell them apart. We have school functions other than just studies. A safety patrol is very active with Patty Riggen- bach as Captain. For fun we have had movies, a masquerade party at Halloween time, and a grand Christmas party. We were very proud of our Christmas operetta, The Lost Doll directed by Mrs. Kenneth Ruckman, our vocal instructor. On another P. T. A. night the combined orchestra of Paris and Palmyra made their debut under the direction of Kenneth Ruckman, our instrumental teacher. Our custodian is Mr. Walter Marik, and the cooks are Mrs. Maude Strock and Mrs. Mary Simp- son. Yours truly, Pete Grade One Grade Three Grades Five and Six Grade Eight Grade Two Grade Four Grades Six a-nd Seven Chorus Pari Grade The enrollment this year is about two-hundred due to the new students that were the result of thc consolidation. We have seven teachers of which three are new. We also have a new custodian. We have changed our manual training room into a new second grade room, moved the manual train- ing into the commercial room, and the girls are using the typing room for an art room. We have also changed the Study Hall into the fourth and seventh grade rooms, while the Science room is being used for vocal music. Our orchestra, which is gradually growing, played for the Christmas program, after which the tonette band played. We believe we did very well. Cheerleaders have been chosen for our basket- ball team which We think is a very good one. We call them the Knights , We have edited a school paper which is a great success. We call it The Regular Bore. The eighth graders are very anxious to start to Southeast next year.

Needing a new teacher, the board 'hired Mrs. Margaret Fobes as our 2nd and 3rd grade teacher. Mr. Stanton, our retired custodian, has been replaced by Mr. Ralph Rowinsky who is doing a swell job of keeping the school clean and up to working efficiency. The board members, Mr. Cecil Haas, Mrs. Ethel J ahn, Mr. Merle Wilcox, Mr. Glen Harshbarger, and Mrs. Glen Cowan, have worked hard in planning and organizing the transition we have had to go through. They have wisely ordered new playground equip- ment. The merry-go-round was a very overworked piece of equipment in spite of the dizzy effect it had on the children. The gym is a blessing during the extra cold and rainy days. At recess time the children let out their energy by playing in the gym in such a way the noise would scare the bravest of men if he wasn't prepared for it. The seventh and eight grade have given an as- sembly program prepared by themselves. The Christmas Program was produced by all the grades working in coordination. The P. T. A. furnished refreshments after the program. The gym is being used quite extensively by the school, church, P. T. A., and Aurora High School. Mrs. Kernen is glad to have a stage to work on for her piano lessons. Mrs. Goetz likes her new room With only the first grade children to Work with. Mrs. Johnson enjoys the new desk in which she can place her things. Mrs. Fobes has the larg- est in which she has plenty of space, for the two grades. Mrs. Dulebohn misses her front cloak room in which she used to build her puppet stages. Mr. Lewis is still quiet and unmoved only to express the building is sure a swell place to work in vsdth- out two flights of steps to go up. Mr. Swasey is still looking for a good office worker to place in fthe outside office. Mrs. Jorgenson and Mrs. Miller are still continuing their swell cooking and are quite elated in their new kitchen without the rats to bother them. We have a very nice school now and the children are all proud of it. They are doing all they can to keep it that way, which shows us that the work, sweat, and money spent for this grand school is being appreciated by all. uilie Archie Brown Football 1, 2, 3, 45 Bas- ketball 1, 2, 3, 45 Base- ball 2, 3, 45 Track 15 Prince of Peace 45 Class Play 3, 45 Spot-lite Staff 4.

A'h, yes, school days started once again on Sep- tember 4, amidst falling plaster, rain, and a bit of sunshine through the roof, and hopeful Freshmen hearts. Sunshine sometimes fades into darkness and thunder but the Freshmen didn't fade into darkness and their thunder certainly still rolls through the halls. On September 8 the Football Preview was held in Ravenna. Our season was not as successful, as far as wins and losses are concerned, as we would have liked, but the team and the school consider the season a huge success due to sportsmanship, con- duct of the students and the team, and most of all the wonderful school spirit displayed. Preceding our homecoming game with Windham, we held a Pep Rally which, for the time being, took the place of Homecoming . We were handi- capped without our gym, so it was held in the gar- age and we had a big bonfire outside and roasted wieners. This was all topped off by the crowning of the Queen . A good time was had by all! The Seniors went to Davis' Studio in Massillon, September 21 to have graduation pictures taken. We visited Washington High School for lunch and the remainder of the afternoon. Everyone enjoyed the day immensely. A very successful Grade tea was held on Novem- ber 9 for the lst, 2nd and 3rd grades with 60 moth- ers attending. The Honor Society held a Sadie Hawkins Day Dance at the Town Hall November 17. If you weren't dressed in dog-patch style, you had to pay 10c. They had a wonderful turnout and a super time. After Thanksgiving we had an unexpected vaca- tion, not because we were so full of turkey, but be- cause the roads were so full of snow. We had to work extra hard to get back in the old groove. But on December 21 we were relieved by our Christmas vacation, till January 3. Mr. Nelson Somewhere before Christmas our basketball sea- son started by a game with Garrettsville. We had a tough schedule and no gym, but a wonderful team pulled us through in fine shape all the way down through 0l.11' last tournament -game. We were hope- ful during the whole season that our beautiful new gym would be done for the next game but it just didn't seem to work out that way. Turning from athletics to scholastics for awhile, the schedule was tough there, too. From mid-year exams in January to finals in May, there was noth- ing but study - study - study, with one wonderful vacation for Easter from March 22 to 26, with lots o-f eggs, candy, and freedom. The F. H. A. gave a banquet for the schoolmas- ters on April 12 and not wanting to be outdone by the girls, the F. F. A. boys gave a banquet a week later for their fathers. Finally, the Seniors-long-awaited-dream came true. GRADUATION . . . We didn't all pass with flying colors, but we passed - didn't we? I'm not sure if the teachers passed us out of sympathy for us or for themselves. Anyhow, the Seniors of '51 are gone but we hope never forgotten for we will never forget the last year at Suffield High.

In a ten year period enrollment has increased some 600 per cent. To provide tempting and ourishing meals for about six hundred students each day, six women are employed in the two modern cafeterias. The phenomenal growth of the school system is evidenced also by new buildings, new teachers, and new courses of study. These include a complete yearly schedule of mathematics, science, mechanical drawing, shop, and commercial subjects. Pro-blems of health are studied in a health class for seniors. The American Red Cross offers a twenty hour course in -home nursing - care of the sick and the very young - to all freshman girls. News of the football and basketball teams is given elsewhere, but let's not forget the girls! In their new and becoming uniforms they participated in intramural basketball games, baseball, volley- ball, and tumbling. The emphasis this year was on individual sports - archery, badminton, and danc-- ing - that the girls will find valuable in their leis- ure time throughout their lives. One of the many interesting projects of the senior home economics class was a series of various types of parties given in class by the students. These provided excellent experience for the future home- makers. The Windham American Legion Post sponsored an essay contest on What the American Flag Means to Me. A S25 savings bond went to each of the winners-Robert Lehner, Delores Horvath, and Ruby Jaskewicz. Winners in the local Prince of Peace contest were Ceatta O'Sako- and Cynthia Bauer. Eight persons made up the debate squad. Foul weather postponed some of the meets, but the com- petition finally got underway and our four veterans and four novices gained poise and experience, while having a grand time. One evening in early fall and another in late spring found the house lights dimmed and the thes- pians on stage. Both the junior and senior plays were well received by the audiences. The athletic department profited from the suc- cessful efforts of the students in two magazine cam- paigns. A series of entertaining and educational assembly programs was provided throughout the year by the Antrim and Sorenson Lyceum Bureaus. Also out- standing were the special holiday programs given by the students. The high school chorus and the eighth grade gave our Thanksgiving assembly. The Christmas program was presented by the musical organizations and the speech class. An impressive Easter service gave us inspiration for these troubled days. With much hard work on the part of the band members and much cooperation from the citizens of Windham, the band blossomed forth this year with snappy new uniforms. They participated in the Band Contest at Kent State University: they played at all athletic events. Through the tireless efforts of Mr. Tavalario the band made great strides as a result of private lessons, sectional rehearsals, and marching practices during the summer vaca- tion. They presented a fine concert in the fall and thus said, Thank you to their community backers. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But neither the Jacks nor Jills were dull this year. Despite the activities previously mentioned, the sccial whirl was not neglected. Skating parties, class parties, and dances kept the boys and girls busy. The Homecoming celebration was a high- light of autumn. Jeanine Stewart was elected queen of the festivities. The court included Millie Anderson, Betty Lou Ball, Marian Bertram, and Judy Eckman. The school faculty and all other school personnel became better acquainted at a banquet in November. But, this is the seniors' book, so let's review their last, most exciting year. The annual trip to Mas- sillon was enjoyed by all. After the presentation of a three act mystery-comedy, Aunt Cathie's Cat, they began working earnestly on other money-mak- ing ventures to finance their eagerly anticipated trip to Washington, D. C. Among these projects were the sale of greeting cards, the sponsoring of a banquet, bake sales, and dances. The junior class gave them a splendid banquet, the social highlight of their school career. Tired but enthusiastic after the Washington trip, they returned home to face the usual last minute rush. There were the Class Night presentation, final exams, Baccalaureate services, and the climax of it all, Commncement. With energy to spare they concluded a hectic, but rewarding year and they are now taking their places in the big wide World. Good luck, kids! 90 Betty Lon Ilull 1Vest Virginia. 1, 2, 3: Girl Scouts 1, 2: Y-Teen 2: F.H.A. 1: Chorus 3: Cheerleader 4.

Sectional Tournament Score Windham ............... ..... 4 2 Hartville ,,.,, FOOTBALL The Windham football team opened the season with thirty-five boys, fifteen of them lettermen. Thanks to the diligence of the student body in selling magazines, the players were clad in new black and gold uniforms. The student body also made possible the purchase of a heat lamp for the team. At the annual Football Preview they not only looked elegant in the new uniforms, but they played well, defeating Garrettsville, their arch-rival. The Bombers principally utilized the T-formation with variations of the single wing. This year, for the first time, they used the Notre Dame open huddle. The season was a fairly successful one, as may be seen in the record below. Their greatest triumph was winning the homecoming game with Garretts- ville. The social highlights of the season were the rally and bonfire before homecoming and the annual foot- ball banquet, at which nineteen players were award- ed letters. BASKETBALL New uniforms seemed to be the rule at Windham High this year and the basketball team was not an exception. Handsomely attired and fired with en- thusiasm, the fourteen boys made the competition keen among themselves for the starting positions. There were four returning lettermen, but what the others lacked in experience, they made up in drive. Average height o-f the varsity players was five feet eleven inches. This gave them an advantage in retrieving rebounds. The boys worked long and faithfully in daily practices and the school was proud to have them represent it on the courts. Windham's team played host to a highly success- ful invitational tournament during the Christmas vacation. After defeating Mantua in a. thrilling play-off game, they captured the Portage County champion- ship. In the county tournament Rootstown defeated them in the first game. But thye came back to win the next three games and to force Rootstown into a play-off to determine who would go to the sectional tournament at Kent State University. There the boys were defeated by a strong Hartville club. The team, along with the other athletic groups, was feted at a post-season dinner given by the Methodist Men's Club. Lib Which is the most crowded room in Windham High School any period in the day? You guessed it - the library. There is a variety of reasons why it's so popular. One is that it's always gayly decked with timely decorations, be it autumn, winter or spring. New book cover displays also add a note of color. These tend to give the room a warm atmo- sphere, condusive to study or just to reading the latest in the many periodicals in the rack. The seven sets of encyclopedias are constantly used to find out more about the topics discussed in the classrooms. Well-worn dictionaries attest to the students' search for knowledge. For years past, a substantial part of the school budget has been apportioned to the library fund and thus has been built up a fine collection of books, about 2500 volumes. In addition to the fiction and biography shelves for enjoyment, there are enough books on all subjects to answer the questions of even the most avid student. l mry In order to help the boys and girls in locating information, courses are conducted by the librarian for grades sevent through twelve. In these, the Dewey Decimal System is explained and the lec- tures are followed by problems, that give the stu- dents experience in practical application. Junior and senior students assist the librarian- teacher, Mrs. Betz, in checking, stamping, acces- sioning, tiling, and the many other duties necessary for a smooth-running organization. If a student needs a particular book and he can- not lind it, he refers the problem to Mrs. Betz. If she cannot help him, chances are The Portage Coun- ty Bookmobile can. This year the larger part of the library funds was turned over to the grade school in order to build up an equally complete library program for the younger pupils. Excuse me. Think I'll go to the library. 97 Speech and Hearing Therapy Another innovation at Windham schools was the employment of a full time speech and hearing ther- apist. Groundwork for this new program was laid by the County Supervisor of Speech and Hearing, Mrs. VVilcox. The initial work was begun in the fall of 1949 by student-clinicians of Kent State Uni- versity, under the direction of Mrs. Wilcox. Pre- liminary surveys were made, and these established the need for such a plan. The results of the work done with speech and hearing handicaps were met enthusiastically by school administrators. In the fall of this year Mr. Frank Fedorka, a graduate of Kent State, came to Windham. Hav- ing been certified by the state he is the holder of a special provisional certificate in speech and hear- ing therapy. As is true of all pioneer movements, there is much planning to be done and much equipment to be purchased. However, Mr. Fedorka has done an outstanding job with the facilities' available. He conducted a complete survey of the schools and found about a ten per cent incident of speech cases. These students with speech defects were given remedial instruction individually and in groups. These groups were made up of students who had the same type of defects and who were of approximately the same age and grade. Teachers and parents were kept informed of pro- gress, and they were given suggestions for aiding these students in various ways. The hearing program began with a screening of all the students, to iind those with hearing impair- ments. These tests were held in the Community Building. The audiometers used were purchased by the County P. T. A. and were loaned to Windham schools. The students who were found to need treatment were referred to a doctor for a medical diagnosis. Teachers and parents were given information con- cerning these individuals and suggestions for help- ing them. The potentialities of this kind of program are great. It has been discovered by psychologists that children frequently fail to adjust themselves to normal life if they possess such defects as those with which we are dealing here. With proper un- derstanding and treatment of their problems, both physical and mental, there will be a larger number of them who will live happy and rewarding lives. BUSINESS MANAGERS The business managers are to be commended for the efficient way in which they sold advertising, managed the financial side of publishing the book and aided the editorial staff. This assignment meant meeting the public, compiling statistics, and the experiencing of practical salesmanship. We thank our patrons for the way in which they responded to our advertising campaign and we thank the business managers who secured the ad- vertising.
