ADMINISTRATION 'r 'I I U I Q I NJ ' I .P J x I x rx I I x I MI Mr. Koeppe, our Super- intendent, has brought a fine iniiuence to us as a leader. His interest, sym- pathy and understanding in all student activities and school affairs has won for him the love and admiration of the students. Page Eight MR. J. F. KOEPPE Superintendent EVANGELINE DAVIES J. B. CRABBS Q Dean of Girls Principal Our superintendent is an administrator who determines the broad policies of our school. Our principal is an executive, Whose leadership ability enables him to manage and control his divisions or unit in accord- ance with the larger lines of the policy decided upon by our commanding officer. Our Dean of Girls is a specialist in a certain phase of education, assisting the principal in accomplishing the Work of the school. Her work quite naturally falls into three divisions: advisory Work, administrative duties and supervisory tasks. In school work intelligent direction and oversight are necessary and the conduct of all cooperative undertakings, Whether in business, sports, welfare or education calls for team work on the part of all holding respon- sible positions. Again on the part of those responsible for a high degree of individual eniciency, ability to shoulder responsibility, willingness to cooperate whole heartedly, unity in carrying out a purpose, loyalty in sup- port and defense of a plan, and at times self-effacement for the good of all. Our instructors carry out these principles and teach us to do likewise. Page Nine FACULTY ADAH PORTER MELVIN D. WORST IMOGENE SMITH WILBUR SWARTZ LADYBIRD SIPE F.

Far and wide over the steep, high, and rough mountains of education the Central was destined to carry them in their quest for knowledge. The eager porters aboard the train at this first stop were Oliver Adams, Marie Baesel, Le- land Bassett, John B1azek,Jean Brelling, Marian Conrad, Dorothy Curtis, Marietta DelCor- so, Audrey Dix, Ethel Filina, Donald Farnsworth, Burke Frees, Hal Frees, Sid- ney Geiss, Willie Mae Hill, George Hoch, Lucille Jennings, Vivian Kline, Ruth Ellen Lindsey, Wood Middlesworth, Eleanor Munc, Raymond Heintz, Herbert Pin- combe, Helen Steinkamp, Sylvia Skurek, Robert Squire, Theresa Tymke, Leona Wise, and Ralph Worick. History by Marietta Del Corso The second year aboard the Central was smooth riding and our big stop was at Cleveland. Here Hazel Hiner of Penn- sylvania joined the group of happy por- ters. A year later, when the Central made its third great stop at St. Louis, Clarence Judson, and Lloyd Lash boarded the train. Early in the fourth year we found our- selves rolling into the city of Boston where a group of prominent porters, Claudia Brooks, Lewis Cleveland, of Penn- sylvania, Adelbert Fedurek, and Edward Westlake boarded the train. The fifth year found us at Detroit where Ruth Moakley, Bruce Mathis of Minnesota, Robert Nahodil, and Helen Pincombe joined the group. Our last year, the sixth, aboard the good train central was a happy one, and everyone was looking forward to the next Page Fourteen year when they would dash aboard the new streamliner B. H. S. , and a new world of opportunity would be opened to them. A world of opportunity that was to open wide the gates of education and lay strong the foundation on which our success in future life will depend. Already aboard the streamlined B. H. S. that awaited us at Washington D. C. in the seventh year were the porters, Vic- tor Bandwen, Hildegarde Botsch, Wallace Boatman of New York, Dorothy Bucklad, Jeanne Chapman, Marjorie Clough,Gladys Gehrke, Dorothy King, Eleanor Kleve, Dorothy Kujanek, Emma Leinweber, Lloyd Oppenlander, John Petrick, Lois Potter, Helen Reptisky, and Margaret Rudes. Stopping at Seattle the next year, we were joined by Emmajean Clark of Michi- gan, Mary Coloton of Minnesota, Esther Conrad, Elsie Must, Gretchen Raub, and Charlotte Thompson. A great sorrow en- countered us this year in the death of Oliver Adams, an outstanding porter. The ninth year we hailed with victory as we stopped at San Francisco and were recognized as porters of the Senior rank. Having been bestowed with this honor we selected as chief engineer, Donald Farns- worth, assistant engineer Donald Vance, Secretary, Clarence Judson, Treasurer, George Hoch and as advisor Miss Keck. Boarding the train at this stop were Lu- ther Eavenson, Rose Kotlarz, Stanley Mordarski, Clarabelle Neitzel, Benedict Prosowski, Gene Rinehart, Louis Wil- check, Edward Yanke, Leonard Lammer- meier, and Howard Dozier. Bias Our destination in the tenth year was Chicago and the new comers were Roger Clossen, Norman Knuth, Robert Ryder, Eileen Stebbe and Hattie Harris. Claudia Brooks was elected as chief engineer, Jack Phinney as assistant engineer, Marie Baesel as secretary, Jean Brelling as treasurer, and Mr. Pelton as advisor. Our great events of the year were the party and winning second place in the annual stunt night. All of our porters were well represented in all extra-curricular activi- ties. Many of the boys were already win- ning fame and taking the headlines in the sport's world. In our eleventh and most memorable year we glided into New York with Don- ald Farnsworth as chief engineer, Robert Ryder as assistant engineer, Margaret udes as secretary, George Hoch as treas- urer, and Miss Keck as advisor. Joining us this year were Violet Ritchie, Harry Smith, and Robert Taylor. Scarlet and Gray being chosen as our colors, N. Y. City was dazzled by the array of scarlet and gray jackets. The honor of winning first place in the annual stunt night was bestowed on us for our amazing stunt. The play The Strange Bequest, starring Helen Pincombe and Robert Squire, and directed by Miss Smith was a great suc- cess. The Junior-Senior prom was one of the best ever held within the walls of the B, H. S. Our most outstanding porter, Claudia Brooks was also elected President of all the railway corporations for the next year. 1936 and Berea again! Back where we started from to settle down to our last year in earnest study. Helen Pincombe was elected as c h i e f engineer, Clarence Judson as assistant engi- neer, D 0 n al d Farnsworth a s secretary, John Blazek as treasurer, and Mr. Pelton as advisor and advocater. Jack Grimes of Indiana, Frank Kathe, William Neiheiser, of West Virginia, joined our ranks this last year. One of the high spots of the year was the selection of silver rings with a ruby setting. The senior play directed by Miss Keeney was a smashing hit. The climax of the year came in the editing of our streamline Berean which will remain in the history of Berea forever. Class of '37 Berea High School Our happy days aboard the B. H. S., much to our regrets has come to a close. In May 1937, the porters received their diplomas and left the streamliner to em- bark upon a new and different train of life which we can only hope will bring them success and happiness in the future. Page Fifteen IN MEMQRIAM Page S ixteen Oliver Adams In memoriam to one of our dear- est classmates who was taken away from this earth April 4, 1934, we, the seniors of thirty-seven, wish to dedicate this page to Oliver Adams. CLASS Remember our first year at school, We learned the A B C's, And numbers too, Along with philosophy of the Golden Rule. The second year brought us something more, How to read Mother Goose and spell words like dog and door, These were foundation years, For that future shore. The third year brought us other things, More arithmetic, and how to sing, We even learned to read the clock, And that famous rhyme, Hickory Dickory Dock. The fourth year brought us division, Some history too, We learned that Columbus Came here in 1492. The fifth year brought us fractions, The use of common contractions, We acquired health advice So we would know how to keep clean and nice. The sixth year we wrote with pen and ink, Wrote letters to pals who had said goodbye, And looked forward to the day We would transfer to Berea High. The seventh year everything was new, We hardly knew just what to do! We made new friends And hope we'll keep them until the end. POEM The eighth year we began algebra, Determining the values of a through zg They were rather difficult at first, But soon we conquered all of these. The ninth year we had our choice, We might take a college, general, or comrnercial course, We seriously planned So that someday we would be able to take full command. The tenth year we entered senior high, We had a voice in our Alma Mater Song, We were very proud That we could sing Sophomore real loud. The eleventh year we held a promg For the 36 class that was to go ong It occurred on the fifteenth of May, In the orchards of scarlet and gray. The twelfth year brought us the goal of graduation, Are we prepared to apply - What we have learned in days gone by? To take our place in the nation? We are now at the close of our high school life, And we sail forth on unknown seas, May the waves not be too rough or high, So we can go sailing smoothly by. Marjorie Clough.

Their aggressive leadership and accomplishments will leave its print upon the sands of our dear high school. After an apprenticeship of five years our Juniors are now ready to assume the duties and responsibilities with ideals and ambitions for future achievements. The outstanding tasks of the class during 1936-1937 are to produce the Junior play and to sponsor the Junior- Senior Prom. They have fulfilled these tasks admirably. For four years our Sophomores have Worked quietly for recog- nition. Like the Puritan of old their influence is seen trickling into the stream of school activities and they have been making a line con- tribution to our academic, social, and athletic programs. The future expects much from them. Our Freshmen - three years old - have struggled through the difficulties of their academic work, have established themselves as good school citizens and have gained recognition for their industry and accomplishment. Their influence is being felt in every school activity. Our Seventh and Eighth graders referred to by the upper class- men as the Junior Hi's are rapidly orientating themselves. Thus their potentialities are much in evidence. Page Twenty-Four CLASSES Superintendent advises Underclass presidents Inquiring students Page Twenty-Five JUNICDIQS To you the flashy green and gray, we, the class of 'f37 , leave the greatest privileges of all, the lines of our Alma Mater Song - seniors so mighty, and the honor of sitting on the shelf. It is our last request that you will respect the so-ng that we have found to mean so much to us in our last days here. Class ol 1938 ' -M , -iii Page Twenty -Six This year we have found to be the most important in all of our high school days with one activity after another to rush us around and around. To start the social season we held our class party in October, which was the first of the season. Next came our Junior Play, Here Comes Charlie which was a huge success with a record crowd in attend- ance. , . After the play came plans for stunt night and a stunt concerning a night in Spain was decided on. With this pic- turesque and entertaining stunt we like the Juniors of last year claimed first prize. Stunt Night over, we looked forward to the social hit of the season, The Junior-Senior Prom. Like all Juniors, we determined to outdue the class before us, and we feel that we have accomplished our aim of entertaining the Sen- iors in a stately style. Our class like all others has studious people among its members, as well can be seen by glancing at the school honor roll. With the ending of this eventful year we now look forward to next year when it will be our privilege to sit on the shelf.

In the fall - your new and flashy colors will brighten the hallsg the school will learn. to recognize and respect your position and realize you are a part of the school. When in the spring you give the prom for the Seniors, it is our desire that you will shine, and will make a name for yourselves in the hall of fame at B. H. S. Class of 1939 fk Elisa llll Page Twenty-Eight Just before the turn of the next decade our famous group hopes to complete their courses at dear old Berea High School. To be sure we have been overshadowed in the past by the mighty seniors and the Uflighty juniors , but our day is about to dawn. A day never to be forgotten by our Alma Mater. Our scholastic ability ranks high. Al- ready thirty-five per cent of our class is active in the extra- curricular program. The musical groups have felt our in- fluence and will improve with our experience. Our party was one of the most successful-It was really an all school dance. This shows our place in the social program. We are also well represented in Athletics, both boys and girls.

We now start off our Senior High Days. We have long looked forward to the days when we wouldn't be called the Junior High Kids, and could stand on our own and not be dictated to by the Senior high. This year we have declared our independence, without the aid of a sponsor we wrote our stunt, which was too intellectual for the audience to take into consideration. This year we were permitted to hold our first evening class party, which turned out to be a thrilling and unusual affair. We like the others show a tendency toward our subjects as we are also represented on the school's honor roll.

We, like the eleventh grade, have claimed a place in stunt night, as we walked off with second place for our truly original and entertaining stunt, which was an outgrowth of our class room work.

As long as high school life with its extra-curricular program is some- thing more than merely preparation for and attendance at classes, the annual is a logical and proper concomitant of those other phases of high school life. With this in mind the Berean Staff has found joy and satis- faction in preparing and arranging this book to portray the activities of our school. The staff has labored to finance the book with the hope that it will have many successors and that the Berean will continue to have a role to play on the high school stage for many years to come.

The competition of teams between schools has long been considered an ex- tra curricular activity and hence thought of as exhibitionism apart from the normal academic curriculum. Conditions today are testimony of the popularity of this form of competitive sport. It is here to stay-but not to remain unchanged in its administration and conduct. Such a large enterprise needs the constructive support rather than the destructive criticism of the educator. Let us examine briefly the rea- soning which invites the educator to view athletics as a part of the academic cur- riculum. In the first place, one must recognize that physical education is a way of educa- tion. The ability to educate in the use of leisure and in social adjustment through play is the principal tenet of the physical educators. If physical education does these things then it is an educational enterprise and deserves the study of the educator and its place in the curriculum. Second, interscholastic athletics are physical education. They are part of the whole. They do not exist as a separate activity. They are a means by which the physical education of the individual takes place. To accept the narrow view of call- ing gym work physical education and football and basketball athletics is to lose sight of the breadth of the physical education curriculum. As has sometimes been expressed, athletics is to physical education what Shakespeare is to English Literature, or cooking, to home economics Page Fifty-Two AT - a vital, integral, and prominent part of the program. Third, and in light of the above, ath- letics is education and should be consid- ered a part of the curriculum. If the edu- cator will consider athletics as such, prob- lems of conduct or administration will be solved by applying the principles and prac- tices used for the whole of physical edu- cation. The impulse to play is universal. The child playing with his blocks, the boy and girl playing games in the street, the young man and young woman dancing, playing tennis or skatingg the older man intent on making a good golf score, the music-lover taking part in a community sing or the amateur playing his part on the stage, are all expressing the play im- pulse. They are doing the things they want to do for the joy and satisfaction of doing them brings. The problem of play is the problem of a rich and free life. Play and art , Professor John Dewey has said, are moral necessities to keep the balance which work cannot definitely maintain. Play and art add fresh and deeper meaning to the usual activities of lifeg they are responsible for the enrich- ing and freeing of life's meaning. To the child play is the Winning of lifeg to grown people it is the renewing of life. In leisure rightly used, men and women in industry, business and occupations of all kinds, find the relaxation, the recreation and opportunity for creative expression and for service to the community which makes of free time an asset rather than a liability.

Early in September he began to get his charges ready for the opening game with Lorain. Predictions for a good season led to optimism and enthusiasm. We entered the first tilt as underdogs and emerged as such. The Berean tied Par- ma and walloped Fairview, only to meet with a similar fate at the hands of Garfield, a traditional rival. The contest at Rocky River revived our courage to such an extent that we were able to defeat John Hay. We were outclassed by John Marshall and James Ford Rhodes. Some of our squad have done their last bit for Berea High School and we are proud to have them wear the B , Robert Squire, Robert Taylor, Burke Frees, Jack Grimes, Wood Middlesworth, John Petrick elected honorary captain by his team-mates. John Washeleski and Edward Stover withdrew from school after the football season. Two of our fellows were elected to the all conference teams , Jack Berg who has played center to the first team and Johnny Washeleski as full back to the second team.

Mr. Lowry, our new track coach, has some new ideas on track and field events and is planning to take some of the boys to the Public Hall meet and also to the State meet. If all works out as he has planned, your Sports Editor thinks it will be a very successful season. Those out for track this year are: Burke Frees, Nick Andrews, Eddie Westlake, Bill Neiheiser, Bob Squires, Bruce Mathis, Jack Berg, Christy Arnold, Sonny Judson, Wood Middlesworth, Don Farnsworth, Jack Adams, Earl Ross, Sterling Funk, and Jack Boone. x 1 7 N -Q F Page Fifty-Eight Berea High's Basketball team, which has won but two games this year, must be given credit as hard fighters. In every game they fought as only a Berea High Quintet can fight. Sonny Judson who played varsity center last year changed to a guard position this year. Nick Andrews, a new comer to this school,played the other guard. Stan Zach- arias jumped center, and Eddie Westlake and Harold Schu- bert held up their positions as forwards. Eddie, elected captain by his team-mates, Hal and Son- ny have had experience on the varsity before, the other two Zack and Nick have played only second team. Along with the team, the two managers, Donald Farns- worth and Wood Middlesworth deserve a lot of credit. Those earning letters this year were: Eddie Westlake, Burke Frees, Sonny Judson, Adelbert Fedurek, Harold Schubert, Stanley Zacharias, Nick Andrews, and Wood Middlesworth and Donald Farnsworth. The Second Team this year is composed of Sophomores as Coach Lowry feels that a team composed of such boys should be able to play much better together by the time they reach Juniors and Sen- iors. The team only Won two games this year but your Edi- tor feels that success will be theirs after a little practice together, We hold high hopes for them in the coming year. Dec Dec Dec. Dec. Dec Jan.

For he last two years it has been the honor of this years Seniors to be called Champs . This last season they won all of their games, allow- ing no team to score more than 10 points in any one game. Of this record they are justly proud. All Star Team The All Star Teams , Nick and Tux, are composed of the outstand- ing members of each of the four teams. The girls are chosen for their ability to play, their sportsmanship, their team work, and for the love of the game. This year the Nix conquered the Tux by a good margin. This All Star Game is pla.yed for assembly and is enjoyed by the students. The girls who are picked to play on one of these teams feel that it is an honor. The players strive throughout the season to gain a place on one of the teams.

Margaret, wearing a smart riding habit by Marie Baesel, de- signer of the fa- mous Gowns by Marie , got out, called a pleasant Good morning , and came up the flagstone steps. I asked her how she was, and began to laugh. Are you laughing at me? she said, throwing her sports coat across the back of a chair. Not at all. I just Iinish- ed reading in the paper about Jeanne Chapman. What's the latest? As you know, her love affairs with the govern- ment heads of three European countries have placed those countries in a critical state. Of late it has been highly serious, and threatening to peace. The Associated Press saw her yesterday, riding in an automobile identical to that of Haile Se- lassie's and dubbed that three-timing woman - Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simp- son II. How interesting. I'rn starting to Write her life story at Berea High School, where, who knows, she may have already been dreaming of stately castles. It's to be entitled The Three Kings . Well, I have to be going. I'm on my way to Rob- ert Ryder's Ryding Academy and I'm due there in twenty minutes. Oh, I nearly forgot, Marie wants you to call her as soon as you reach the city. I will. Thanks for telling me. Donit mention it. Good-bye. Good-bye, see you again. An hour and a half later my launch, in which I commuted from my home to New York, drew up at the wharf. I took a cab uptown, passing on my way, the Clossen Television Studios, owned by Roger Clos- son, who completed the much needed work on television, thus giving to the world a great gift. Upon reaching my office I telephoned Marie. She told me she had thought about giving a class reunion and wanted my opinion on the matter. I agreed it was an Prophecy by Lewis Cleveland Page Sixty-Six excellent idea, and promised to look up in my iiles the list of students that I had made while writing the class prophecy, so many years ago. I then called in my secretary, Mary Col- oton, gave her the list, and sent her on the next plane to Cleveland, to establish the whereabouts of our former classmates. The following day I received an envel- ope, containing a note from Mary telling me that she was warmly welcomed by old friends, and that John Blazek, new owner of a chain of paint and wallpaper stores, had assisted her greatly in locating some of the people. Inclosed was a list of those who had remained in or near Berea. Leland Bassett, Berea mailman, Hilde- garde Botsch and Gladys Gehrke, nurses at Berea Hospital, Ruth Moakley, Elsie Must, and Violet Richie, teachers at Berea High, commercial, public speaking, and physical education respectively, Louis Wilchek, operator of Wilchek's Star Bo- logna Markets, Sylvia Skurek, Helen Steinkamp, Theresa Tymke, and Dorothy Bucklad, housewives, Ester Conrad, sec- retary and accountant at Bagley Road Lumber Company, Eleanor Kleve, cashier in Bank of Berea, Ed Yanke, game ward- en in the wilds of Waite Street, Claudia Brooks, prominent in social activities, and wife of Mr. Burke Frees, Bell Telephone executive, Hal Frees, undertaker, happy in his work, and possessor of a wife and ten children, Emmajean Clark, business manager of The Great Lakes Exposition, Marjorie Clough and Hazel Hiner, sten- ographers at Glidden Point, William Nei- heiser, architect of notable achievement, credited with the famous hotels of Berea, West Bridge Terraces, Prospect Plaza, and the Ritz Berean Tower, an eighty story skyscraper on the triangle, Clara- bel Neitzel, notary public, Lloyd Oppen- lander and Benedict Prosowski, W.

Almost as soon as I laid down the list, the telephone began ringing. It was Ethel Filina, con- C vfl 197- -: wal. I a-was cert violinist, whom I had asked to check up on those of our class residing in New York. The information she gave me was - Dr. Helen Pincombe, famous beautiful woman doctor and brain special- ist, had just done an amazing operation on Adelbert Fedurek, an electrical engi- neer at R. C. A., Willie Mae Hill had a novelty dance act. Bojangles of Hobo- ken , in the sparkling tap dance review Flapper Tapper , of which Lucille Jen- nings was the star accompanied by her personal maid Hattie Lee Harris. Kathe composed the musical score for this pro- duction. I thanked Ethel, and made notations of these names on the invitation list. Mary returned late that same evening and we sent out the invitations, the re- union to be held about a week later. It was very interesting to read over the names and see what the occupations of the stu- dents were: Jean Brelling, secretary to Dorothy Ku- janek, who was secretary to Bruce Mathis, architect of the new Metro Goldwyn May- er studios, at which Audrey Dix was de- signer of fashions, Luther Eavenson, designer of stage sets for Radio Pictures, Dorothy King, private secretary in Houston, Texas, Leona Wise, dean of a girls' school in Kansas City, Helen Repitsky, housewife in Des Moines, Marietta Del Corso, a nurse at Chicago Clinic, George Hoch, dental specialist in Chicago, Howard Dozier, acknowledged as Booker T.

Robert Squire, ships' doctor for the new Cunard liner Princess Marie , on which Mr. Wal- lace Boatman, attorney for Miss Jeanne Chapman, and Dr. Wood Middlesworth of Vienna, would be sailing for the States. Well, I said, I think I'll go home. Yes, sir, if you haven't any orders for me, I believe I will, too. That's all right, but tomorrow morning call the caterer and make arrangements for the food and the service. I want a full course dinner, served on the terraces a- bout 1:30, Sunday afternoon. I'd do it only I have to meet Marion Conrad at the dock. She's coming in on the transoceanic plane from Buenos Aires. I received a radio- gram from her this evening just before your plane arrived. She says Vivian Kline is a stewardess on board. Marion is the only woman executive on the South Amer- ican Staff of Standard Oil. Wait a moment, while I get my coat, and I'll walk down to the corner with you. I want to get these other invitations in the mail. ' Sunday was indeed a beautiful day. The trees cast long shadows across the smooth lawn and cool breezes blew in from the ocean. Far out across the water, sail- boats, tiny in the distance, their sails gleaming white against the deep blue sky, moved lazily along in the golden afternoon sun. A delicate fragrance of roses filled the air and a calm and serene atmosphere prevailed. Thus it was, in this place, after dinner was over, that the Class of '37 was gath- ered, twenty years after graduation, to meet old friends and to relate their exper- iences of the intervening time.
