The pecuniary value is meager but, as the years roll along, it will bring back memories of your classes, teachers, friends, and school sweethearts. In short, We have at- tempted to pack the story of your high school days in these pages so that in years to come you may again en- joy the moments of your youth. What more can one desire? DEDICATION The Seniors of 1939, with the deepest sincerity, dedi- cate this Berean to Mr. G. W. Dunn. With the fullest appreciation for his advice and efforts to make our school life happy and more beneficial, We shall retain him in our memories long after we have depart- ed from our Alma Mater. MR.

KOEPPE Supe1'z'r1tena'erzt of ii Berea Public Schools Message to the Senior Class To Our Seniors: By the time that you receive your copy of this yearls Annual, your high school days will be practically completed. As you look over these pages in after years, may the reflection of your thoughts on ,days Well spent afford you much pleasure. The place of our High School in this community will largely be determined by the kind of citizen you become when you have taken your place as a member of society. I hope that during your high school life you have been chal- lenged with problems that have taught you to think clearly and logically. In my opinion, all other achievements are subordinate. As you look about you, you may feel that the world has no place for you. It is true that there is a surplus of mediocrity. There is still, however, a scarcity of brains, courage, and initiative. J.

Dean of Girls Page Nine youth Leaders As we seniors have struggled up the rather rough path of these last four years in High School, We have been led very capably by some of the best leaders in the respective fields who have been qualified by their understanding of both the subject and the student. It is to this remarkable group of teachers that we wish to give our humble thanks for their part in teaching us something basic that will aid us in living, today and tomorrow.

Secretary Page Twelve Class History WHILE glancing at my history book and noting that most things have a beginning and a history, it occurred to me that the class of '39 had a history and it was -naturally-a most remarkable one, filled with the exploits of a very talented class. When we first began as a class, Berea was a mere village-that was in '27. In the course of our schooling some of us left Central School where we began and returned at some time or another to finish in High School. Some of us at this early date were beginning our first schooling at four other schools in Berea-Brook- park-Fair Street-the little red schoolhouse on Bagley road, St. Adelbert's and St. Mary's, while a good number of us also were scattered all over the United States in the first grade. As we grow older we seem to form the theory that those school days were days of great bliss and joy-no worries-nothing to prohibit us from enjoying ourselves. But if we think back over our twelve years of school life, we will remember that the little troubles and tasks that we had to surmount were just as large to us then as our so-called greatest hardships of today. During that first year the first 27 members of the class of '39 met and decided whom they would like and whom they would dislike. If I remember correctly the first ones were: Wade Squire, Norman Farnsworth, Melvin Wedell, George Barker, George Shane, Rene Merrill, Nelson Offenberg, Doris Del Corso, Emmajean McRae, Dorothy Ruder, Alvina Leinweber, Norman Miller, Madeline Guenther, Elizabeth Lindsey, Jean Bruce, Louise Lampman, Ethel Bedford, Marian Berry, Clara Dozier, Lizzie Belle Payne, Grace Heineman, Helen Smith, jean Unnewehr, Jane Stull, Elaine Foxx, Betty Eckert, and myself.

Here we encountered Robert Rosbaugh, Ruth Kadow, Doris Dellinger, Carol Puls, Jean Ware, Violet Alexander, and Carolyn Washelesky. It was at this time that we recognized the recess for its true value and a jumping rope was a necessary article-socially. Grace Hammon, Esther Donville, and Florence Fedurek became part of our little group as we entered the third grade. The boys were just beginning to realize that girls can be teased very easily and very successfully. Hugo Blish and Evelyn Marcinski joined us in the fourth year. The teachers at this time repeatedly reminded us that we were in the fourth grade and we should act like fourth graders-We did. Donald Clarke from Cleveland and Flora Guest from Lancaster, New York, were introduced to us in the fifth grade with the exciting sport of baseball-which we continued and played with all our hearts in the sixth. At last the sixth year made us supreme ruler over the playground and every- thing in it. A blonde and a red head-Helen Walker and Kathleen Parsons C respec- tivelyb and Robert Slutz .joined us to add color to an already colorful class. As we reached the high school and the seventh grade we were made a much larger group by the students from Fair Street School: Robert Gutzman, 'Carolyn Kujanek, Beatrice Gehrke, Marie Duktig, and Arthur Vetter-and Brookpark School: Edith Ody, Fred Whitker, Ray Botsch, Deo Dean, Josephine Peselc, Daniel Ody, Henri Rigo, Joan Deex, Lois Oppenlander, Richard Erman, and Adeline Botch. Here we met also Herbert Loomis and Geraldine Klink-Alfred Wilchek and Bob Gehring. As Seventh Graders we gave a program in Assembly on Washington's Birthday depicting George and Martha Washington coming to life in this present day. Jane Stull and Rene Merrill very ably portrayed these historical personages. For a stunt on Stunt Night we Wowed them with'Mr. Mucklo as our sponsor and leader. 1934 brought three new lovelies into our class-Robert Peeples, Quentin Lerch, and Margaret Kyle. Our class party was a Valentine party and we were over- whelmed with a profit of 55.05. Our Stunt nite stunt was created by several graphic scenes of American History such as the most memorable scene of Washington crossing the Delaware-surrounded by several enterprising students under their mother's clean white sheets as realistic ice cakes-and the Battle of Bunker Hill as described by a radio announcer. Twelve girls and three boys met us as Freshman-they were-Ellen Batteurs, Page Thirteen 2 . , 1 a x , ,S ,r f f Page Fourteen Shirley Crooke, June Manning, Mary Smeltzer, Marjorie Turton, Frances Wosicki, Frances Novak, Margaret Schneider, Margaret Conrad, Geraldine and Ursuline Boone-our first and only twins, Ralph Vrana, Geraldine Skora, Donald Skortz, and Sylvester Bobinski. Our first evening party was dominated by the shyness-ele- ment-but that was overcome before long and we took the evening in our stride. As a stunt that year we portrayed Julius Caesar and his death in modern times-it was very convincing. Nick Andrews, Ruth McCoy, and Marion Andrews entered Berea as Sopho- mores. One of our girls-Jean Unnewehr carried off the lead in the Operetta with honors and the supporting cast was 5075 Soph. We began to take our place in athletics this year. In every field we had some interest and some outstanding Sopho- more. The school life had awakened the best in us and we were rising to take our place in the school. Our Medicine Show for stuntunite was amazing--no queerer animals- more peculiar music--or sicker people were ever seen or heard. Mary jo Whitman, Esther Marting, Doris Henkes, Marie Fisher, Florence Drake, and Vincent Sisson became Juniors with us. Soon afterischool started in '37 our blue and white Junior Jackets with their emblems-an old English B-were seen everywhere and on every Junior. As our stunt was Censored, we did a preview of the rest of the stunts. Our Junior Play Murdered Alive was a horrible mystery in which nobody was killed but people fell in and out of clocks and eerie noises were heard all over. Lee Hall who left us for Montana in our Senior year took the un- forgettable part of a very earnest but dumb detective. The parts were all cast well and and it was as great a financial enterprise as it was a dramatic enterprise, although I have heard other comments as to the last-personal comments-purely prejudice- naturally. This year as seniors we have taken over the field as we did in the sixth grade of our learning. Our Seniors who held presidencies and their clubs should be remembered -not that we haven't had presidencies before but these are Seniors-Rene Merrill, Science Club, Helen Smith, G. A. A., Ruth McCoy, Friendship Club, Robert Slutz, Hi-Y, Jane Stull, Masquers, Louise Lampman, Girls League, Norma Miller, Library Guild, Florence Fedurek, Home Ee. Club, and last but not least our student council President, Henri Rigo. Alfred Wells, Ethel Minear, and Lester Berger joined us to finish with us. Our stunt nite was our best yet and the best seen for some time- being a television scene of a nite club built around the theme of the song Deep Purple by Peter De Rose. The orchestra, the trios and the dances were unlike any seen before as to their excellence and positive brilliancy. Our class has been one to be proud of and has never lacked in any of the many good qualities to be found in this world.

W V: .,..,.: - i- ,Q-,.-...Q-if .l--..-.,.H,..-V --5 - - I CLASS PCEM FAREWELL Our youthful stage is now complete, As, glancing o'er our school years now, We see our plans, now obsolete At this-our final formal bow Before the gates of life receive Our humble forms within their realm. And now, Haunted, we must relieve Our fearless master at the helm Of life's great ark-now on its Way Toward reefs and shoals, toward many bay. El We linger here, our last few hours Within these lofty tow'ring walls. Our time is spent, the years have passed As We have ambled through the halls Of this-our Alma Mater great, Where mem'ry wanders-oft recalls Our labors to adapt ourselves To life's eternal, dismal stalls. Cur weak attempts to pierce the haze Of worldly fact and mystery: The pro and con of many a phase Of great events in historyg We worked and wrote and talked within The walls of this - our true domain. In Chemistry we made a din, But in our minds there must remain An image of each course we took, In Latin, art, the music book, Math., or carving on oaks and pines, To take the knocks and give a grin. We've learned some lessons life can teachg And varied others right along The path to knowledge - in our reach And learned them with a happy song. We've had our sorrows, ups and downs And yet we've not complained at all, Our countenances bore no frowns As we endured each bump and fall. True sports we all aspire to be, And friends are our hope and desire. We bear ourselves quite fearlessly Through contests - fair or touched wit We represent the future'man Of this fair land of ours - The really true American, With honest, sacred powers Dealt out by our great God freely - To stay with us eternally. -A'rth ur Vetter h ire Page Twenty-four 1 ,. : :'1z. ,.,q ff7L,f' I , ' , . -.-,- Q' . . 1 - IV ' f:H7IfxQ:Mfz,Ix 99Ia 'ffg3,.a?'- -A51-u. . , ' -:WI , I . .s,.,...vA,, , ., mQ ...,K- ,wf.,., I .I ,,, , ,, ws , ' ff H- Fi zmg f ij-SN 5 X Q , Ip. , f' NWT' :Haj I Off?- Qwiffff f'-TQQMFIV I , IQ?-vgwf JI., W- sm., H-, -'W 1 ---- W- I JUST LOOKING IT OVER NICK JUST SAID SOMETHING!

After much discussion we decided that we wanted something different and chose brown and burnt orange jackets. To start the social season, we swung into action by holding our class party in October. Next came our junior play, High Pressure Homer, which was an all around success. Then came the much awaited highlight of the season-Mthe Junior and Senior Prom. We spared nothing in our efforts to make this a long and oft-remembered night for the parting Seniors. Our class is well represented in every organization in the high school, in all sports, and on the honor roll.

Frank Manning WE, the sophomore class, while eagerly looking forward to the time when we will no longer be under-classmen, are participat- ing in every high school activity. Our athletic ability is proven by the fact that we have several members on both the Hrst and second basketball teams. The musical department has also claimed many of our members. We have mem- bers participating in all three music organizations. Stunt Night as usual gave us the opportunity of proving our superiority to our fellow students and the judges. Our class party, the main social event of the year, was somewhat eclipsed by the junior-senior prom which was held a week later, but a good time was had by allf' Although our social and extra-curricular activities keep us busy, we still 'dnd time to do enough work to see our names on the honor roll. All in all we are one of the most outstanding classes dear old B. H. S. has had the honor to educate, just ask us.

M i I nl 5, -1, ,I ar--if: , 4 4.-rw ,Q-1 6 I What Clubs I'Iave Accomplished at Berea I-Iigh The clubs are the nucleus of all Berea High School social activities. They play an important part in forming friendships and in elevating the standards and ideals of the members. An education without an extra-curricular program will not form social relation- ships which tend to develop useful citizens. To teach the members to understand the bonds which hold true friend-ships together, to help them appreciate Hner music and entertainment, to aid them in their pursuit of a vocation-all which will later add to the happiness of the students-are the common aims of our organizations. STUDENT COUNCIL A representative government is an asset of which we are all proud. Meetings are held weekly in which problems which arise are discussed by representatives of each home room. The students arrange assembly programs, make possible all-school dances and Stunt Night, and edit the handbook. A system such as this makes the students feel more obligated in the success of school affairs, and allows them to express their opinions freely. LIBRARY GUILD The Library Guild is an organization composed of students interested in books Its purpose is to acquaint the members with good books and promote a desire to read extensively. The club sponsored a Tea for the Rocky River, Fairview, and Parma students It also planned an assembly program in which a movie was shown. Miss Weideman sponsors this organization.

This has been the inspiration of many students resulting in a Chorus of the highest rating. The Chorus has cultivated excellent voices and developed an ap- preciation of fine music. It participated in the Music Festival and many other school aHairs. The Chorus won a rating of 1 in its class in the Northeastern Ohio contest. The Berea High School would be lost without its band. Beside playing at football games and a basketball game, it sponsors a Band Concert. It also participated in the Music Festival, and in the Northeastern Ohio Band contest, Where it won the high rating of 2 in its class. A new musical instrument, the Bell Lyre has been added to the band this year. Under the zealous direction of Mr. Hilty, the band has accomplished well its purpose of keeping up the school spirit. ORCHESTRA ' The Orchestra provides the musical entertainment at high school affairs when the need arises. During the year they played at the Science Club Play, and participated in the Music Concert. The membership of the Orchestra is not so large due to the fact that string instruments are quite diiiicult to play. However, the Berea High School is well represented by its Orchestra. Page Thirty-nine ' 1 fm W' rf l-IGME ECGNOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club was originally founded only for girls interested in Home Economics. Its membership has, however, been extended to all girls in the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Parties have been planned, assemblies presented by the girls, and many other social functions held during the course of the past year. Under the leadership of Miss McFadder1, the sponsor, much has been accom- plished. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was organized three years ago by Mr. Lowry, who has been retained as sponsor. It is open to all students of senior high Who are interested in sciences. The club has done much to promote visual education by the use of movies. It also sponsors smaller clubs open to all members, namely, Camera, Scope, Taxidermy, Osteology, and Hunting and Fishing. This year a play, Look Who's Here, was successfully produced by the club. DEBATE TEAM The Debate Club was organized five years ago by Mr. Miller, to whom much credit is due for his excellent coaching. The question for debate this year Was: Resolved: That the United States should form an agreement with Great Britain. The team came in second in the League, but the benefit derived from the research Work done, the experience acquired, and the gratification of the students are ample rewards.

The members, all girls, convene twice a month for business as well as entertaining purposes. The club sponsors one assembly during the year and the annual Football Ban- quet. Congratulations must be given to Miss Robison, the sponsor, for excellent work of the club. JLIINIIGR GIRL RESERVES With To find and give the best as their motto, the students have found in the Junior Girl Reserves, new friendships, and wholesome entertainment. The members are girls of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Their ideals and purposes are much the same as those of the Friendship 'Club. Their symbol is a blue triangle, and their sponsor, Miss Skidmore. The Hi-Y Club is one of the most popular boys' organizations. All new mem- bers must be voted into the club by the older members, and the initiation require- IllCFltS HFC 2ilVViiyS LlI'lllSU2l. Its purpose is based on four principles: Clean fellowship, clean sportsmanship, clean living, and clean speech. The annual Sweetheart Banquet as well as many other activities make their en- tertainment varied and interesting. Mr. Dunseith is the new sponsor. Page Forty-two ,l.

They are taught the fundamentals of makeup, acting, and stage production. In a Night of Plays, the members successfully dramatized three one-act plays, Auf Wiedersehn, Romance is a Racket, and The Happy Journey. Miss Keeney, the sponsor, directed the plays. - JUNIOR PLAY High Pressure Homer, a comedy written by Bruce Brandon, was presented by the Junior class this year. The entire action of the play took place in the home of the Woodruff family in a medium-sized, Eastern town. The inventive mind of Homer Hampton Hay- wood, the wittiness of Junior Woodruff, and the well-portrayed characteristics of the remaining Cast constitute the reason for the success of the play. Under the efficient directing of Mr. Miller, the play resulted in fine enter- tainment and a financially prosperous enterprise. GIRLS' LEAGUE The Girls' League is the largest organization in the school, being composed of all the girls. Meetings are held once a month, and the programs are organized by the various girls' clubs and have proven most entertaining. The league serves as an inspiration of higher ideals, and promotes a better re- lationship among the girls. General welfare work is accomplished by committees appointed to do various tasks about the school. Miss Davies, the League's sponsor, has made the organization a power for good in the lives of the girls of our high school. Page Forty-fare lr- ., ,:. J TI-IE NEWSSTAFF Aspirants for possible literary careers find in the News stall ample opportunity to practice. They prepare the editions of the Focus, as well as columns in both our city newspapers. The items and editorials have been well written thanks to the laudable efforts of the editors, class reporters, and Miss Porter, the Faculty Advisor. BEREAN STAFF The responsibility of arranging and publishing the Berean is laid upon a staff composed of Seniors elected by their classmates. It is the most expensive undertaking of the senior class, and requires the earnest labor of every member. The Berean will ever bring back memories of Berea High School days, there- fore the staff strives to preserve for you the happiest phases of those days. Due credit must be given Mr. Dunn, the sponsor, whose steadfast advice and help have made the Berean possible. MCDVIE GPERATCDRS The operation of the movie machine is a task which requires dependability, alert- ness, and a knowledge of the function of the machine. Through their constant efforts, our movie operators have successfully presented to us the noon movies, as well as films in assemblies, classes, and meetings.

The following are the organizations and activities in which the Activities Club entitles its members to participate: Football Operetta - Basketball Music Festival Track Band Concert Junior High Athletics All School Dances G. A. A. School Paper Berean C50c down paymentj Stunt Night non-transferable Junior Play Masquers Club Senior Play Debate Each member purchases a stamp book for an entire semester. A small period of time is set aside each Monday and Wednesday for the purchasing of stamps from Home Room teachers. The stamp book must be up to date, week by week, before a member is entitled to the privileges of the club. The books are non-transferable. At the end of the first semester all Stamp books are returned and exchanged for new ones. In case of loss, a new book can be received for a small fee if a student can prove sufficiently the number of stamps it contained. Students who are financially unable to join are given the opportunity to work after school in return for their stamps. All the money received is accumulated in an Activity Fund to be distributed where it is most needed. The disbursement of receipts is budgeted on a precentage basis according to a plan set up at the beginning of the school year. The membership of the Activities Club has risen above the expected 400 mark. It has proven highly successful in attaining its purpose, and has added a new enthusiasm in the participation of students in many activities which they were previously unable to attend due to lack of finances. According to the calculations made on the prices of attendance under the old plan and the cost under the Activities Club, the Activities Club has saved each of its members 53.30.

SEASON The football team of the last season was fairly successful winning five out of eight games and tieing one. They won one of their conference games and lost the other. Rocky River was one easy victim and Berea won by a 20-0 score. But the Oberlin game was a different matter. Trailing by a 7-6 score in the final period of one of the most exciting games Berea has ever played, Nick Andrews-star end - caught a pass and raced from the middle of the field to the three yard line. The touchdown was made but they failed to convert. This made the score- Berea 12 to Oberlin's 7. VVith about a minute to play, Hudnell-Oberlin's Negro all-state end-caught a pass and ran for a score. The final was I3-12 in Oberlin's favor: Wliat a heart breaker. In the first game of the year lklarshall managed to tie Berea in the last minute 6-6. Fairview was the next victim and was walloped 3-l-0. Shaker was the next non-conference game and they beat us 12-6. Parma, our great rival, was beaten 14-7. Brush was beaten the next Week 12-6. Then came the Mediiia game. Our boys had a field day and they took turns scoring points. .The final being 46-0.

TRACK The Track Team for 1939 has not yet made history when this article was written, but the new track coach, Mr. Noble, has a fairly good nucleus of boys to work with and he hopes to weld it into a strong team. Although at this time not all the meets have been scheduled, there will probably be one with both Elyria and Strongsville, and of course the Southwestern Confer- ence Meet. A Some of the boys returning this year are Richard Erman, Bob Gehring, Don Clarke, Hugo Blish, Don Phillips, and Jack Boone. BASKETBALL The Basketball Team of 1938-39 under the new coach, Mr. Noble, had a fairly successful season. The team composed of seven seniors started off with a bang and trounced our neighbor Medina to the tune of 24-16. But from then on the luck seemed to change. Our next four games were with Shaker Heights, Maple Heights, john Marshall, and James Ford Rhodes, all of them much larger schools. Shaker Heights had a hard time beating our boys and We gave them quite a scare before they finally won 21-25. But Maple Heights, Marshall, and Rhodes had no trouble and they beat us 31-43, 16-32, 18-39, respectively. Then the team traveled to Wadsworth and were again beaten by a crack quintet 24-36. The next game was a tough one to lose, but a superior Parma team edged us 23-27. Amherst also beat us 24-32. Rocky River played us next and the Berea squad hung up their second victory of the season when we shipped them 34-20. The next game was with the Alumni. Most of the fellows who played for the graduates are now members of amateur class-A teams so it was no wonder that they beat us 17-45. The following game was the best one of the season from Berea's standpoint when the team played a see-saw battle with our arch-enemy Oberlin. When the smoke of the time-keepers gun had cleared it was seen that we had avenged our football loss by beating them 33-31. Fairview was our next victory and we ran over them 30-20. The Lorain game was a close one. As you know Lorain is a member of the Lake Erie League which is more powerful than ours and we almost beat them. But in the last minute they sunk a shot and beat us by two points 22-24. Norwalk, who is very good, was our next opponent and they had a hard time beating us, but they finally won 28-31. Next came our return game with Oberlin and feeling was running high. Many thought we might lose because this game was played in the little cheese-box gym at Oberlin. And they were right for Oberlin turned the tables and beat us 25-31.

This time the score was 28-26. Berea entered the class A sectional tournament and drew for their first opponent Shaw High. They beat us 10-39. And then they went on to the quarter-finals in the state, so we were just the first of many who were beaten by Shaw. The team was composed of Nick Andrews, honorary captain, Rene Merrill, Hugo lilish, Nelson Offenberg, Bob Grospitch, Oliver Pincombe, Bob Gehring, Edgar Brooks, Don Phillips, Dick Ficken, Tom Phillips, and Charles Heffner.

Furthermore it strives to establish educational leadership and to develop a sportsmanlike attitude among the girls through teamplay and co-operation. The big event of the year was the annual Basketball Banquet which was given in honor of the team after its strenuous season. It was very successful. The officers of this organization are: Helen Smith, Presidentg Leonarda Kobie, Vice-Presidentg Virginia Lustig, Secretaryg joan lvlerrill, Treasurerg Katherine Humphreys, Social Chairmang Leona Kobie, Chaplain. Miss Parker, the Physical Ed director, is the Sponsor. 'r- Payf- Fifty-six THE ALI. STARS The All-Star girls' basketball games come as the climax of a hard-fought season. Outstanding members of the four teams competing in the class tournament are chosen to play on the two all-star teams. The girls are chosen for their ability to play, their sportsmanship, their team- work, and their love of the game itself. They are divided into two teams, namely -the Nix and the Tux-and a game is played for assembly.

To win a place on the All-Star team is the highest reward given for outstanding basketball players and it is considered quite an honor Throughout the entire season the girls all play hard to win a position on one of these two teams SENIOR CHAMPS Every year the G. A. A. sponsors a program of intra-mural basketball for girls from the ninth to twelfth grades. At the beginning of the season the girls report for practice. They are divided into teams according to grades and then a series of games is played. This type of competition promotes better playing and good sports- manship. When the final game was finished it was found that the Senior girls were the champs. The competition is keeng therefore, a great interest is taken in these games, not only by the players themselves but also by the whole student body. Miss Genevieve Parker, girls' physical education supervisor, heads these athletic programs for the girls of Berea High School. Page F iffy-eight ATI-ILETIC CAPTAIINIS The captains of Berea High athletic teams this year were Betty Eckert, Doris Del Corso, Richard Erman, and Nick Andrews. Because of their outstanding ability at playing basketball, Betty Eckert and Doris Del Corso were chosen to captain the All-Star teams. Both played on the All-Stars last year and this year they each led a team in the annual game. Both Doris and Betty played on the class team for the past several years and have become very expert at playing. Both are to be commended for their skill and ability to lead. At the end of the football season at the animal banquet it was announced that the team had elected Richard Er- man as their honorary captain. The team could not have elected a bet- ter fellow. For the past two years Rich has played varsity. He plays in the back-field and is such a fast man that he is used for end runs. He was the most energetic player on the field and his pep at all times has inspired many of the other players when they felt tired. Even when he was forced to the sidelines because of injuries he kept cheering the boys. He is also a track-star and was the basketball manager. For three years Nick Andrews has played varsity on the basket- ball team and this year as a fittting climax to a successful career in high school basketball he was elected as honorary captain by his team-mates. Nick has played both guard and forward and this year he was high-point man for the season. He played almost all of the games this year and he was a familiar sight on the floor connecting with one-handed shots from seemingly impossible positions. He was a star- end in football and also a sprinter, high-jumper, and broad-jumper in track. To all of these four persons we offer our heartiest congratulations for their honor- ary positions and we earnestly hope that in the future they will continue to hold other honors such as have been bestowed upon them by their team-mates.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ln 1950, after ten years of absence from the gala gatherings of the class of '39 at Berea High, Betty Eckert, prominent New York hair stylist, and Jean Unnewehr, girl reporter for the New York Times, felt indeed fortunate to receive the invitation to the gala opening of the Orchid Club, a fashionable night spot run entirely by students of the class. Sylvester Bobinski was the creator of this great project, and it was none other than the Great One himself who met the girls at the door when they arrived at nine o'clock on the evening of the opening. Oh, I'm so busy, he murmered, as he straightened the collar of his tuxedo, I just have so much work I don't know where I'm at. The two girls expressed their sympathy to the great executive as he bustled around fulfilling his many duties as manager, which, however, were somewhat lessened by the competent work of a beautiful blonde, Geraldine Skora, who acted as Mr. Bobinski's Girl Friday, as well as his secretary. As the two girls entered the check room to have their wraps checked, they were met by a vivacious blonde, Ethel Minear, who, they learned, had abandoned her old idea of being a missionary to the natives of Africa, and was now holding jobs as hat- check girl in the most torrid night spots in New York. As she disposed of their Wraps, the girls noticed Ethel execute several intricate dance steps as she hummed a few bars of Minnie the Moocherf' As the girls made their way toward one of the tables, they were met by a hand- some head waiter, who turned out to be none other than Vincent Sisson. He escorted them to their seats with flawless manners and with perfect courtesy. The decorations of the room caught the girls' eyes first, for a color parade had been beautifully worked out on the walls. It was indeed a pleasant surprise to learn that the entire architectural part of the undertaking had been handled by Miss Mary Smeltzer, who was fast making an enviable reputation as one of the best architects in the country. The painting of the room had been done by Mademoiselle Louise Lampman, who had lately studied in Paris. It was rumored that she had become so enamoured of the foreigners and their customs that she was scarcely able to carry on a conversation in English, speaking entirely in foreign tongues. As the two girls were waiting for the program to begin, they noticed many new arrivals entering through the mammoth orchid and gold doors. The first of these were Mr. and Mrs. Brooks Clean Warej, who had just returned from their wedding trip, and looked radiantly happy. Betty and Jean learned that this event had finally been made possible, after the groom's final completion of his education. It's been a long wait, Mrs. Brooks said, but it's worth it. The next couple to arrive was Mr. and Mrs. Ody, fthe former Ursuline Boonej, who had been married for some time, and had brought their four small children with them. Next the girls noticed Mr. and Mrs. Offenberg fMary Jo VVhitmanj, who walked majestically across the room to their seats. It was reported that this couple unable to make up their minds whether to live together harmoniously or not, had been divorced and remarried twice. At the present moment they were married, but you never can tell. The lights dimmed, the lovely orchid curtains were drawn, and a hush came over the audience. The program was about to start. The drawn curtains revealed a stage, the background of which was a large orchid made of crepe paper. At one side, on a raised platform, was the all-girl orchestra, whose fame had been sweeping the nation. It was reported that the clarinet-playing leader of the orchestra, Norma Miller, was a second Benny Goodman. The hottest band in America, as it was called, contained the following members, all of them among the foremost jitterbugs of the age: Dorothy Ruder, Elizabeth Lindsey, Jane Stull, Carolyn Kujanek, Violet Alexander, Helen Smith and Helen King. All looked lovely in their changeable Page Sixty-I-wa F-4. , A H - ,, ,,.-W -4 taffeta gowns. All of them were so far unmarried, except the former Miss King, who was successfully combining marriage and a hobby. While her husband Rene Merrill had risen to unsumiountable heights as a stock-broker on Wall Street, and had be- come one of the wealthiest men in America, his lovely wife retained her independence by tooting her clarinet in the aforementioned girl orchestra. As the orchestra launched into their theme song, Deep Purple, tears came to the eyes of the members of that class of 39, who had employed that song in their annual stunt so many years ago at High School. At this tender moment, two unique visitors entered the room, bearing with them the smell of nature, the out-of-doors, and-horses. They were Miss Emmajean McRae, and Miss Elaine Foxx, those two out-of-door girls, who were now running a riding academy for the elite on Park Avenue. The floor show continued, and suddenly a purple spotlight was focused on the stage, at which point appeared an exotic oriental dancer, Miss Shirley Crooke, whose sinuous movements certainly got the audience into a mood. While this act was in pro- gress, and the lights were turned low, a commotion was heard at the rear entrance. Looking around, the girls saw that it was none other than that famous couple, the beautiful Carol Puls, and her escort, the handsome blond, Wade Squire. Both were famous movie stars, and Mr. Squire had just completed his appearance in the popular movie, Love or Passion ?, in which Miss Puls had been his leading lady. As a result of this he had risen to be the most popular matinee idol since Rudolph Valen- tino. It was said that the two were participating in a publicity romance, but it was beginning to look like the real thing. Flashlight bulbs were popping as the handsome couple walked to their seats, surrounded by newspaper reporters. Among these photographers and flashlight poppers was Herbert Loomis, who had just been fired from the photographic staff of the New York Herald Tribune, because, for some reason, his pictures always seemed to come out bottom side up. In the midst of all this confusion, a small, unobstrusive man slipped in and sat down at one of the last rear tables. This turned out to be Melvin Wedell, who had become a minister in a New York church, and naturally was a little out of element in a New York Night Club. However, he soon got acquainted, and was seen chatting gaily with a prominent Alpine mountain climber, recently returned from Switzerland, Miss Ellen Batteurs. At this point another celebrity entered the room. It was the famous chemist, Mr. George Shane, who had just received world renown for his discovery of the 95th element. With him was the equally famous, Daniel Skortz, who had become a com- mentator on world affairs, and was considered to be the best informed man in the country. Turning their attentions back to the floor show, the girls see that a pink spotlight has been turned on a lovely lady with a somewhat familiar air about her. It was Miss Geraldine Boone, who is filling many radio engagements these days, both at home and abroad. After this number, the program was interrupted to announce a series of lectures which will begin the following week in Carnegie Hall. The lecturer will be Mr. Henri Rigo, the rising young Professor of Anatomy at Columbia University. Here the girls noticed the entrance of Mr. Donald Clarke, a noted steeplejack in New York. They learned that he had helped paint 73 stories of the Empire State Building, and seemed to be up in the air most of the time. With him was Mr. George Barker, who had partially fulfilled his old ambition to become a motorman by operat- ing the New York subway. As a special entertainer, Norman Farnsworth, saxaphone virtuoso, had been en- gaged for the evening, and at this point, with a green spotlight focused upon him, he rendered his interpretation of l'm Getting Sentimental Over You. It is common knowledge that Normie has taken the place of Rudy Vallee in the hearts of women the world over. ' Turning their eyes to the back of the room, they noticed the arrival of Quentin Lerch, who is at present the foremost lawyer in the country. His most recent case was Pagz Szxty three --f that of Nick Andrews versus Robert Gehring. Andrews, who was the famous leader of an accordion band, had sued Gehring, a WPA worker, for the alienation of the affections of his wife, the former Esther Donville. Needless to say, this trial attracted nation wide attention, and Mr. Lerch finally accomplished the herculean task of re- uniting the three, by freeing Gehring from the charge. They were just returning from the last day of the trial, and all four looked very happy. In a moment, two more familiar faces were seen as Mr. and Mrs. Richard Erman entered the night club. Mrs. Erman is the former June Manning, who, under that name, had been carving out a niche for herself as a writer and lecturer. Called America's leading woman wit, she had virtually taken Dorothy Parker's place as a sophisticated and witty writer and conversationalist. Her husband was still in the sporting world, being the star of the New York Giants' professional football team. Here the music stops, and a fanfare of trumpets was heard, as the announcer told the audience that a large body of members of the National Federation of Woman's Clubs of America was arriving. They had just returned from a tour of Europe, and were honored guests at the Orchid Club opening. Among the most prominent of these were the Misses Carolyn Washelesky, Grace Heineman, Florence Drake, Florence Fedurek, Beatrice Gehrke, Grace Hammon, Flora Guest, Geraldine Klink, Alvina Leinweber, and Margaret Schneider. After these ladies were comfortably seated, the program began again and the spotlight was focused on three comedy entertainers. Looking more closely, the girls saw that these fat gentlemen who are bopping each other on the head with so much gusto were none other than the Three Stooges -Wells, Whitker, and Wilcheck of their high school days. Their surprise hits a new high as the girls watched their antics in amazement. They were accompanied by that great tuba player, Robert Peeples, who had become equally famous in his profession. It was said that he can reach the lowest note on any scale when he plays Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep. At this moment a sleek suave dark-haired man entered the night club, and as he took off his top hat, they noticed that it was Lester Berger, who was the head of Twentieth Century Fox Studio in Hollywood, and was very wealthy. At this moment another famous couple entered. Deo Dean, who was at present the head of the Communist Party and was a fiery soap-box orator, and Marion Berry, the star forward on the Bloomer Girls' basketball team, were engaged to be married. Making a note to remind them of the wedding date, the girls turned their attentions to the platform, where a gorgeous golden light was being turned on the all-girl or- chestra. Relaxing to the delectable dance music of this lovely-looking array of musicians, and enjoying the delicious food of the Orchid Club's famous chef, Robert Rosbough, they decided that the evening was proving very pleasant indeed. One of the most pleasant features was the renewal of old friendships with Berea High classmates, who seemed to be arriving in droves. They saw Marie Fisher, who was now a famous Woman shoe salesman, Jean Bruce and Ruth Kadow, who were secretaries at the New York Chamber of Commerce, Marion Andrews, who was now designing the ward- robe of the wife of the President of the United States, and Ralph Vrana, a prominent tailor in New York. Joan Deex and Bob Gutzmann were also in attendance, and their arrival was especially noted, for they, as laboratory technicians, were recent winners of the Nobel prize in their own branch of science. The music again stopped, and a fanfare of trumpets was again heard, as a famous diplomat entered the room. With surprise they noticed that it was none other than Arthur Vetter, who, had recently become the President of the League of Nations, and was building up that organization admirably. The girls were both thrilled and honored when he came and chatted with them at their table, telling them of his interesting work. He was, without a doubt, the youngest popular figure in world af- fairs, and has certainly had made a name for himself. ' The music resumed again, and more guests arrived as the evening wore one. Soon Page Szxly four i,,,,.,i,.:f7..- .... ,,,,,m...,..,.,.,,..,..,,,.,,.a.,. 1-.- , ma were seen Lizzie Belle Payne, who had grown very wealthy as the proprietor of a large beauty salon in Harlem, and Clara Dozier, who had attained fame as the soprano soloist in the largest church of that district. It was quite a surprise to see Ethel Bedford enter, escorted by a large group of college boys who were members of the Sigma Delta Foo fraternity. Then it was learned that she was doing a very capable job as housemother for that group, and had grown very popular with the fraternity men. Three familiar faces were noticed when Kathleen Parsons, Helen Walker, and Margaret Kyle entered together, having chosen the occasion as a reunion. All three came from widely diversified parts of the country, and held widely diversified jobs. Katie, much to the surprise of everyone, was doing social work down thar among the hillbillies of Kentucky, while Helen, just as everyone had predicted, was the head librarian at-Berea High School. Margaret held the official title of Professor of the Modern Forms and of Cubistic Art at Sarah Lawrence College, and was en- joying her college work very much, although she did seem a bit highbrow to the others. Glancing over to the farther side of the room, the two girls saw two familiar looking gentlemen enjoying the show immensely. They were Hugo Blish, who looked quite prosperous as the manager of a large SOhio gasoline station and garage, and Ray Botsch, who looked happy, although not quite so prosperous, as a professor of higher mathematics at the newly-established 'Copopa University. It had been rumored that a large branch of Ringling Brothers' circus was passing through the town that night, and, sure enough, who should arrive but two of its most distinguished entertainers, Lois Oppenlander, who was the star tight rope walker, and Doris Henkes, a brilliant acrobat. Craning their necks to the other side of the room, the girls noticed Madeline Guenther sitting at a table with an elderly lady. lt was learned that Madeline, still an old maid, was pining away her youth as a companion to the elderly lady on several trips across the ocean. Looking very jaunty in a tailored uniform was Doris Del Corso, who was a stewardess on the United Air Lines. She reported that Edith Ody and Evelyn Mar- cinske were now being heard over the air in a radio romance entitled Edith and Evelyn, which was advertising Eat-More Breakfast Food. Having finally completed her many social and household tasks, Marjorie Turton arrived somewhat late on the arm of her handsome millionaire-husband, the president of a large steel company. Also somewhat late was Doris Dellinger, who had just finished her work at the New York Unemployment Agency. Doris informed the girls that the quartette, Adeline Botch, Josephine Pesek, Frances Wosicki, and Margaret Conrad, were conducting a very successful radio pro- gram, Get Up and Swing, which provided early- morning exercises for the over- weight. A beautiful red head was glimpsed at the far side of the room, and, just as the girls had thought, it was Ruth McCoy, who was a successful hat designer in Paris. Frances Novak was also seen, and the girls were quite surprised to learn that she was a nurse in one of the largest hospitals of New York. Frances informed them that Marie Duktig would be unable to attend the Club opening, as her pressing duties as a business woman allowed her no extra time. The climax of the evening came, however, when Robert Slutz entered the room, amid a gorgeous fanfare of trumpets and confetti throwing. lt was certainly a great surprise to learn that he was running for President ofthe United States, however, when the girls found that Esther Marting was to be the future first lady, their astonishment was so great that they had just enough energy left to say adieu, as the orchestra played on far into the night ......
