J.Fhlf0EPPE hwp - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - nge nine P T H IC IMO BZVZGU LEADING VGUTI-I GF TODAY The students this year have been unusually fortunate in having as instructors one of the finest faculties of any school of this size. Several additions and replacements were made to bring the staff to its full number. Each teacher is capable not only of teaching one or more subjects but also is called upon to assume the responsibility of some extra-curricular burden. Let's start at the top of the school and try to find out just what these teachers are getting paid for. To begin with, in Senior Study we find NIR. JOHN ALLISON, whom the students affectionately call Little Napoleon. He teaches United States History and Civics. However, he also serves as the sponsor of the Senior class, which is a job in itself. bliss ETH EI. KEENEY, the other Senior homeroom teacher has sev- eral classes in Public Speaking and sophomore English. In addition to these she is the sponsor of the lUasquer's Club. A fine actress herself, lN'Iiss Keeney interests the stu- dents in dramatics and the successful results are already well-known. NIR. lk IEI,VIN VVORST, the Junior class sponsor, is also the faculty manager of ath- letics and consequently is a member of the Athletic Council. He teaches hlathematics and Plane Geometry. NIISS ADAH PORTER has a number of classes in freshman and sophomore English. Also on her shoulders rests the job of faculty adviser of the FOCUS, which she fulfills very well, and she has charge of the annual spelling con- test held here. lN'IR. HORACE PELTON, the head of the Social Science department, teaches VVorld History and the Senior subject, Problems in American Democracy. He is the tenth grade sponsor and directs all of their activities, and is the coach of the debate team. The commercial courses are under the care and supervision of NIR. G. RAY DUN- SEITH. He is also the sponsor of that exclusive For-lN'Ien-Only organization, the Hi-Y. In addition to teaching Health and Elementary Science, NIR, JOHN lx'IL'CKI.O has charge of the Physical Education classes. He is the man who coached Berea,s football teams to two championships within five years. lN'IIss HELEN ROBISON collaborates with lVIr. Dunseith in teaching the numerous commercial subjects. Outside of her classes she is the Friendship Club sponsor. To IWR. xVII.l3L'R SWARTZ, who teaches Physics and llathematics, falls one of the most difficult and important tasks of all. He is the sponsor of Stunt Night and it is up to him to make all the arrangements for this night of nights. The success of many enterprises depends upon lX'IIss LADYBIRD SIPE, who takes care of the business and advertising ends of plays and the like. She teaches lbI2ltllC1l12lflCS and is the sponsor of ninth grade. Under her expert supervision the freshmen have captured first place in Stunt Night for two successive years. NIR. FRANK LOWRY is in charge of the Chemistry department and also teaches General Science. It was only through his efforts that the Science Club was founded and at the present time it is the largest organization of its type in the school. This is NIISS NOVA DENNIS, first year here but already she has become well-liked by the students. She teaches General Science and Biology and presents them in a very interesting manner. bliss JEANNETTE SKIDNTORE possesses a fine classical background and is well fitted to teach Latin and English. She is also the sponsor of the junior Girl Reserves. It is the task of DIR. ADULPH STUDEBAKER to change the Industrial Arts students of today into the car- penters of tomorrow. lNIR. GEORGE YV. DUNN is a very efficient instructor of junior high English and Social Science. He is the faculty adviser of the Berean which entails no end of work. Besides teaching Social Science and Physical Education, NIR. KENNETH NOBLE holds v-iq 1 TT C. page ten down the position of athletic coach. This year he piloted the basketball team to thir- teen victories in sixteen games. RIR. U.-xI,E XVILSON teaches the Romance languages and it is said that not a little romance comes from his classes. IXIISS AANNE PODRACKY teaches Home Economics and lfnglish and is co-sponsor of the Home lic. Club with RIISS RUTH AICFADDEN. 'lihe latter teaches the majority of the Home lic. classes. Bliss EI.1z,u:ETH DYE, in her first year as girls' Physical lid. teacher, has won the respect of her students. She was instrumental in organizing the Leaders' Club. RIR. R.'xl,l'H HILTY has several music classes but his greatest work is done with the band, chorus, and orchestra. Their continued excellent showings have earned lllr. Hilty much renown. KIISS IJOROTHY KNOX is the head of the Art department and is responsible for the posters which advertise school functions. Our modern, up-to-date library is kept that way by Bliss JXNNE XVEIIJMANN, our librarian. She is the sponsor of the Library Guild and helps students become interested in reading. Last but l10t least we come to the office staff. The duties of these administrators are too many to consider here but it is well known that the mechanism of the school is disrupted when even one of them is absent. No end of credit and gratitude goes to RIR. KOEPPE, IXIR. Ckwlms, Bliss IJAVIES, and to their pleasant and efficient secre- tary, Miss Rmfirsxv. Here we have very briefly summarized the responsibilities of our faculty and have tried to point out what an important part they play, both in the classroom and out. SG THAT TI-IEV MAY, TGMGRRQW, LIVE Tuiz io BQTZGFI fran l'fl Z'l'II Cl-IRGNICLE CDF Tl-IE elm of 1940 YVe live iII an age of Science Zlllll every day, every hoIIr, minute, Hlld CVCII every secoIId S0ll'll'thlllg is being revealed through the efforts of science. Television is one of these Zlllll although it has ll0t been perfected for its praetieability it is a very coming feature. Television is somewhat modern and so is our class. The other day a gI'oIIp of budding scien- tists of the class of 1940 was asked to View one of these television sets. Seated comfort- ably we proceeded to watch. To our amaze- ll1Clll', as the dial was tIIrIIed, we saw IlOt present day scenes bllt a group of children in clothes of yesterday. These children were, the narrator told us, pupils in the first grade at Central School iII the year 1928 A. D. Among them we saw Truman Goss, Evelyn Chope, Irene Filina, Gerald- ine Noah, Nlargaret Hiner, lllargaret Cur- tis, Eugenia Ellis, Alvin Jungeberg, Rob- ert Parshall, Virginia VVhitmore, Betty Smith, Edith Schmidt, Jane llfohler, Pris- eilla Staley, Donald Phillips, Norma Run- dle, Diary Rooney, Jeanne MeIIke, Vir- ginia Lustig, Janet Pershing, Elizabeth Ragg, Betty Asling, Jeannette Curtis, SENIIIR CI,,Iss OFFICERS President . . . DON PHILLIPS Vim' Prz-siflvnt liATHERlNE HL'IxIIfHIzEYs Serrrtnry .... JACK ARNOLD Trmsurer TRUMAN Goss page tzeclvr' John Still, VVilma Hilgendorf, Oliver Pin- combe, VVarren Root, Elmer Heintz, Blar- cella La Rue, Edward Donohoe, and James Butler. Our red-haired teacher stood out as being the most memorable character of that first era. The next scene revealed a most out- standing feature: our little second grade band. Chope and Nlenke were chosen as the dual directors. Into our midst came La Verne Trapp, VVesley Baker, and Rob- ert Ridenour. The third scene passed rapidly with Donald Hales entering in the scene, hav- ing left Ulmsted Falls. But our fourth grade, well! that was something. It was then that the pupils, Betty Marciiiski be- came one with us this year, could carry heavy books and change classes by tramp- ing from room to room. One of our teach- ers, lNIiss Clarice Beamer, loved to curb curiosity, upon being asked her age, by saying that she was 99M years old. I might say that she seemed too attractive to be a centenarian less one-fourth of a year. At this point something went wrong with the radio and for a few minutes we sat there, meditating upon childhood and gaining a few chuckles. For instance every time lNIary Rooney had a slight cold she brought a bottle of Vick's nose drops which she used during class periods. However, the set was repaired and presently our Sth grade class iwas shown. As the vision be- came clearer we saw a string orchestra which was composed of students in the sec- ond year violin classg the students were Eu- genia Ellis, Jeanne llenke, Virginia VVhit- more, Janet Pershing, Jeannette Curtis, and Edward Donohoe. page Illirtren The sixth scene brought into view two young ladies in the persons of Claire Thomson and Katherine Humphreys. After a ten-minute intermission of spark- ling, effervescent cokes, we continued to watch the coming scenes. The 7th scene gave us several new class- mates from four other finishing schools. From Brookpark came Ralph Artler, Joyce Barlow, Lee Erman, VVinston Loach, Clar- ence Lichtenberg, Evelyn Nlares, Thelma Puls, Donald King, Dorothy Leinweber, Eleanor Rohde, Jean Scharkey, Jimmy Rademaker, Richard Scrivens, Alice Ocku- ly, and Norbert Lammermeier. Those from Fair Street School were Sam Petrick, Glo- ria Pacino, Olive VVilliams, Nfildred Lat- ko, and lklertle and Bette Vvitbeck. Gladys Beck came from St. lylaryys and Adeline Yanke from St. Adelbert's. Robert VVage- maker and Alfred Schafer came from schools outside the Berea School district. The three instructors of this ever augment- ing class of 125 were Bliss Fraser, llfiss Seith, and HIL Rliller. Our very first rep- resentatives in the Student Council were Betty Geesling fwho moved away in the Sth gradej, Geraldine Noah, and Kfary Rooney. The 8th scene shifted quickly and the only thing We were able to catch a glimpse of was Lee Erman tumblin' like a tumble- weed in the tumbling team. Our ninth scene showed Leona and Leo- narda Kobie, Evelyn Turton, lfarjorie Thompson, Jack Boone, Eugene Holcomb, Jack Arnold, Frank Zacharias, Rita Lam- mermeier and Casper VVilchek hailing from St. lNIary's. There were others from St. fC07ZfiIlllFl1 on Page 722 BCTZGD in Q: ,fi Q!

The Student Council of our school is typical of American Democracy. It is established for and accomplishes the purpose of providing a closer rela- tionship between faculty and student body. The council's largest function however is that of a legislative body for the school. It is at the meetings of this body the grievances, desires, questions, and suggestions of the whole stu- dent body are presented and appropriate legislation enacted. The council is composed of all the home room presidents and eight members at large. llr. Crabbs is our adviser and sponsor. From Student Council are chosen committees to plan our assemblies, our social functions, our home room activities, to help llr. Allen maintain the superb conditions of our buildings and grounds and any other special commit- tees that may be necessary. VVe of the Student Council have striven to do our best and hope we have fulfilled our duty-that of representing the student body of our school. LIBRARY GUILD The Library Guild has done more in the way of literary work this year than in any other year since its existence began. ln broadcasting over the radio two times this year they have learned a great deal in the technical field. Outside speakers have been their main enjoyment at their meetings, but they have also enjoyed the panel type of discussion at which everyone in the guild joins in. They held their annual tea this year on lllarch 13, at which Professor YVicke from the English department of Baldwin-XVallace College spoke. Klothers and faculty were invited. page thirty-fiifa' TIIF I9-I-0 BZFZGD Mic BAND The band has enjoyed a successful season this year. 'liheir efforts to up- hold the reputation of our school have been untiring. They started out last fall by giving unfailing support and enthusiasm to our winning football team. A number of band members also lent their sup- port by playing at the basketball games. A concert was given in the fall. and in lllarch came the annual lllusic Festival in which the Band, Orchestra and Chorus gave excellent performances. ln April the band journeyed to Colum- bus to the state contest. Because of last year's record it was not necessary to attend the regional contest. Thus ended a successful season for the band. lfvelyn Chope served as President of the band, Donna liing as secretary, and lllarjorie Critzer as Librarian. oiacnesim YVere you to pass 102 some seventh period you would hear strains of Grieg, Strauss, or possibly Schubert emitting from that room, lfpon entering you would discover about seven industrious violinists earnestly practicing. This is just a bird's-eye view of the string section which practices this period. Besides nine violinists other instrumentalists comprise the concert orchestra. Our orchestra has existed and conquered despite numerous odds, one be- ing the small number of students participating and the natural preference on the part of the students for popular rather than classical music. l,et's give these musicians a big hand for so faithfully furnishing good music for our school plays and other activities. CHORUS The Berea High Chorus, under the direction of fllr. Hilty, has had a very successful year. lt has made frequent public appearances in the commu- nity. The second annual performance of the fllessiah was the peak of the first .aemester's work. The chorus climaxed its season with a high rating at the state contest at Kent this spring. pnyr' Illirig ua fvnyr' ffliI'ly-.s'4 l'1'11 TIIIC 1940 BCVQGD 614164 fflgl' Il1il'1y-rfgfll DEBATE CLUB This year the proposition for debate was: Resolved, that the Govern- ment Should Own and Operate the Railroads. lllr.

MASQUERS CLUB The lylasquers Club is the senior dramatic club of Berea High School. Any junior or Senior, who is successful in the yearly tryouts is permitted to participate in the club's various activities. The chief purpose of the club is to develop in its members a taste for the best in drama through the production of one act plays. Not only is the knowledge of acting acquired by actual par- ticipation, but the members gain a knowledge of make-up and a first hand view of backstage work, such as lighting, properties, and stage setting. These activities emphasize the necessity of habits of promptness, accuracy, and de- pendability. This year the plays, The Bohemian Shawl, Back of the Yardsf' and Sparkin', were produced on the night of Feb. 16 as the annual group of plays. All were difficult to produce because of the special dialect of each play. Another one act play just Another Saturday and a radio play were also produced this year. This organization is one of the most outstanding in the high school and has completed a year of good semimonthly programs, plays, and good times under the sponsorship of lX'Iiss Keeney. Among the outsiders secured for pro- grams were Kirk NVillis from Play House and VVayne Black from VVGAR. The officers for this year are as follows: President, Geraldine Noah, Vice President, Bob Adamsg Secretary-Treasurer, Jean Scharkey.

The membership is composed of about twenty juniors and seniors who are earnestly interested in teaching as a profession. The club is purely educational and its purpose is to help the prospective teach- er discover and analyze the basic qualifications of his profession. lfxcellent speakers, who spoke on many phases of teaching, were secured throughout the year. It is the aim of the club to give each member an opportunity to teach, for a short period of time, the class or grade in which he is interested.

The purpose of this club is to aid the students of llerea High School in financing their membership in the various activities of the school. This is the second year this club has been active, and it has proved very favorable. The organizations and activities in which the members of the Activities Club are entitled to participate in are as follows: Football, Basketball, Track, xlunior High Athletics, fl. A. A.. lierean C5lIc down payment non-transfer- ablej, lllasquers Club, Debate, Operetta, lllusic Festival, Band Concert, All School dances, School Paper, Stunt Night, junior Play, Senior Play. lfach student desiring to attend or belong to the above organizations be- comes a member of the club by purchasing a stamp book for an entire semes- ter. Stamps, costing ten cents each, are purchased by the student on hlondays and NVednesdays from the 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 not transferable. At the beginning of the second semester new books are issued in exchange for the old ones. ln case of loss or theft, a new book can be obtained for a small fee if the student can prove that the stamp book was up to date. Stu- dents who are financially unable to join are given opportunity to work in re- turn for their stamps. All the money received is accumulated in an Activity Fund to be dis- tributed where it is most needed. The disbursement of receipts is budgeted on a percentage basis according to a plan set up at the beginning of the school year. The membership of the Activities Club for the school year is approxi- mately three hundred and fifty students. The students are able to participate in many activities that they were previously unable to attend. According to a comparison between the old plan and the new plan, the Activities Club saves each of its members 53.30. jmyf' forly ugh!

Some of the factors that make this a successful season are that Berea won its first Championship in the Southwestern League, and that they played the hardest schedule a Berea team ever had confronting them. Berea opened its season at home in 90-degree heat, playing a very tough Cleve- land South team. The final results showed that South were the victors by the count of 12-0. Incidently South Went on to win their Senate division and play in the annual charity game. Petrick's fine line work stood out for Berea in this game. The team next met another Senate foe in John Marshall and administered a sound trouncing to the hapless Lawyers 21-0. Don Phillips completed three touch- down passes in this game. The conference was opened at Rocky River. The Riverites didn't have a look in, as Berea demonstrated a strong aerial attack which gave them a 25-O victory. Four Berea backs threw touchdown passes. The next week the team traveled to Oberlin for their only nocturnal game of the season. The game ended in a I3-13 tie. The climax of this thrilling battle was Rade- maker's 103 yard touchdown run. After this the Red and Blue traveled to Shaker Heights to meet a strong team from the Lake Erie League. Berea emerged on the short end of a -IU-6 score. The less said about this game, the better. The following week Berea met Fairview to decide the championship of the Con- ference. The Bereans thoroughly outclassed Fairview 27-12. Tom Phillips and Zelin- ski were outstanding. After an open date, Berea then met a light but scrappy Brush High team. The final score, on a rain soaked field, was 26-0. In this game Arnold reeled off a 70 yard touchdown run. Next week the Bereans gained a moral victory, although losing to a tough, high- ly favored Lakewood eleven. The score was 13-6. The game marked the last appear- ance of seven Berea seniors namely: Rademaker, D. Phillips, Arnold, Petrie, Zelin- ski, Zacharias, and Schafer.

Some of the second team boys expected to make the first team next year are: Bene- dict, Baker, lklohr, lN'IcDonald, Gehring, and VVilbert. lluch credit must be given Coach Ken Noble for giving Berea a successful team. SUCCESSFUL TRACK SEASCDN EXPECTED The Track season, on this writing has not yet started, The prospects for a good season are not overly bright as only three lettermen are returning.

The athletic teams of fall, winter, and spring were cheered to victory by Edith Guenther, Ruth Davis, Elinor Slutz, and Phyllis Arscott. It has long been evident that the boys played as if inspired when such winsome lasses as these appeared on the field to lead the rooters in en- couraging the team. This year when the Red and Blue romped home with both the football and basketball titles everyone is agreed that much credit is due these four girls. They appeared rain or shine and took their places in front of the stands though there were no students present who were interested in seeing Berea win. They contributed several new cheers to the collection. It is the hope of everyone that they will fill this capacity again next year. -,,- -1 ,,-,,-,-,-,-,TI-lE1940 Berean page fifty-ffm' l rg. 14.14.

SENICDR CLASS PRGPHECV ln the summer of 1950, several years after the second world war had been con- cluded and the third term issue had been settled, there set out from New York City the President Taft, carrying a cargo of Be- rea High School alumni of the Class of 19-HJ, who had agreed to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their graduation by a two-weeks! cruise. VVirh my baggage taken care of, l stood on the deck of the President Taft and watched the Statue of Liberty disappear in the distance, along with the famed New York skyline. This, my first vacation in three years, promised to be a pleasant one, as it was going to follow a course I had al- ways wanted to travel, a course planned by the honorable Harold Lucal, governor of New York State, who had generously chartered this boat to bring about a re- union with his former classmates. As 1 turned from the rail, the first per- son I encountered happened to be one of the crew. ln spite of his heavy coat of tan, 1 finally recognized Aloe Zelinski, one of the main props of the 1939 football team. Aloe, happy at seeing an old classmate once more, offered to show me about the ship. Down on their hands and knees, industriously scrubbing a portion of the deck, were VVil- lard VValchek and Nlelvin VVeddell, two of the hardest working members of the crew, l was informed. VVe next visited the radio room, where we found the captain, Frank Uudowski, conferring with the ra- dio operators, David Flliot and Elmer Heintz. As we left the radio room, we passed the galley. From here came the pleasing odors of fried chicken. l was curious to know the identity of the cook. so ,loe gave me an introduction. It was none other than Herbert Floreske. VVe wanted to do a bit of sampling, but Herbert informed us that dinner would be served shortly, so Aloe directed me to the dining salon. I was shown to my table by the headwaiter, Frank Zacharias. Soon after l was seated, l began to take stock of 1ny dinner companions for the duration of the voyage. Directly across the table from me was seated the world-famous vio- lin virtuoso, Kenneth Bonsell, recently re- tu1'ned fI'01ll a European concert tour. On my right was .lack Boone, swathed in ban- dages, a memento of his latest crackup re- ceived in his job as test pilot with the United States Navy. 'llhen on my left was the star fullback of the Green Hay Pack- ers, Don Phillips, with his wife, the for- mer Thelma Puls. Une place at the table was still vacant, but, just as the Hrst course was being served, who should rush in but Elizabeth Ragg, the wife of Berea's pres- ent mayor, who had been unable to ac- company her, as it was necessary for him to stay home and take care of their two lovely children. During the meal our table was being served by two uniformed stew- ards, lllorand liushlak and Alvin .lunge- berg. Strolling out on deck a few minutes after dinner was over, 1ny attention was attracted to someone who seemed to be leaning over the rail admiring the water, but on looking more closely, I saw that the famous Hollywood make-up artist, page sixiy-four Ralph Artler's first meal on board had been too much for him. Later that evening, I again repaired to the salon to dance to the wild, driving rhythms of Don King and his fourteen hep-cats, two of whom I recognized as members of the Class of 1940, namely, pi- anist jerry Siodla and trombonist jim Aus- UH. Early the next morning, I was awaken- ed by the tremendous snoring of Norbert Lammermeier, the sausage king, who oc- cupied the cabin next to mine. Going out on deck, I perceived that during the night we had dropped anchor at the nation's capital, VVashington, D. C., where another con- signment of passengers awaited us. The first one aboard the ship was the noted radio announcer, Lee Erman, who had just finished describing the hot income- tax battle in Congress. Directly behind him came a stunning-looking young wom- an, who was introduced to me as the sugar heiress, Joyce Barlow, recently returned from London, where she had just divorced her sixth husband, an earl. Next was the most noted woman psychologist of the day, Katherine Humphreys. I noticed she was alone, and remembered stories I had heard of how she had experimented once too often on Bob Adams. A few minutes later, as usual, came Eddie Donohoe, the head pimento stuffer in an olive factory, whose only luggage seemed to consist of a jar of his manufacturer's product. A few hours after the ship had sailed from lvashington, my attention was at- tracted to lifeboat IO on the promenade deck, out of which was being pulled the struggling figure of a stowaway, who prov- jmgzf sixty-five ed to be ,lack Stover, a cab driver, who held the annual record for causing acci- dents in the city of VVashington. Every afternoon the swimming pool was open to the guests, and, deciding that I wanted to cool off, I wandered down there. VVhen I arrived, I found that a great crowd had gathered to watch the practice of the United States Olympic diving team, containing among others the jackknife ex- perts, Gertrude Zelinski and Harold Gutz- mang the swan divers, Norma lllayer and Betty Smith, and the backward flip spe- cialists, LaVerne Trapp and Jack Sawyer. Also watching the diving team, I saw the lovely photographer's model, Leona Kobie, with her equally lovely and distinguished sister Leonarda, the chief fashion expert for Harper's Bazaar. A few hours later I again entered the dining salon for my evening meal, and there I met the rest of my fellow passen- gers who had come on board at VVashing- ton. The first one to meet my eye was jack Arnold, the owner of a chain of 5 and l0c stores second only to VVoolworths. VVitl1 him was his fiancee, Virginia Lustig, who said she didn't mind waiting ten years for jack, but wished he wouldn't think she could wait as long as some of his book re- ports used to. As I looked over the room, I saw Casper VVilchek, photographer for the WHShlllgtOl1 Daily Blurb, who had just celebrated the fifth anniversary of his marriage to Alice Ockuly, and the third birthday of young Casper jr. Casper was taking a picture for his paper of the rising young mathema- tician, Robert Ridenour, who had just an- nounced his great discovery of the fifth di- TIIE19 BCVGGD mension. At Robert's table were Clarence I,ichtenberg, recently appointed warden of Sing Sing Prison, Rita Lammermeier, man- ager of her own gold mine out VVest, and Betty and lNIyrtle Witbeck, secretaries to the United States Vice President. There was one more table of passengers whom I had not met yet, and this was pre- sided over by the world-famed sports writ- er, jimmy Rademaker, beside whom sat Virginia VVhitmore, the conductor of a Hollywood gossip program broadcast over more than one hundred stations. Also sit- ting with -limmy were the architect VVar- ren Root, who had recently completed work on the huge Buckeye State Building, Eu- genia Ellis, the newest soprano star of the New York lletropolitang and Gloria Pa- cino and Evelyn Turton, who were giving Advice to the Lovelornn in their column syndicated in all the Sunday papers. VVhile taking a short walk on deck to digest my dinner, I heard the cry, Klan overboard! and on looking over the side, I witnessed the thrilling rescue of Gladys Beck, a registered nurse from johns Hop- kins Hospital in Baltimore, by Eugene Hol- comb, the head of New York City's Dog Pound. Gladys was given first aid by John Still, chief surgeon of VVashington Nlemo- rial Hospital, and Edith Schmidt, head nurse at this institution. Rumor has it that Edith will soon exchange her nurse's cap for a bridal veil. john and Edith were be- ing advised from the sidelines by Gerald- ine Noah, a missionary doctor among the South African cannibals. She walked with a limp, and I was told that she had had her toe bitten off by one of the natives. After all the excitement was over, it 1 - was seen that Janet Pershing, the wife of Toledo University's football coach, had fainted, and she was also given medical at- tention. An account of the whole affair was sent back to the New York Times by its cub reporter, Irene Chotkevys. Later that night we tied up at lN'Iiami, and the next morning, I saw sneaking onto the boat a rather seedy-looking individual. Upon questioning, he revealed himself as Robert Parshall, an unemployed ventrilo- quist, who was being chased by a Nliami officer of the law, Truman Goss. Follow- ing closely behind him, up the adjacent gangplank came Donald Hales. He was also being chased-by Mary Smith, a wealthy widow, on the lookout for an- other victim. Soon after this, surrounded by a bevy of newspaper reporters and photographers, the glamorous movie star Diana Darling, formerly Eleanor Rohde, boarded the ship. She had been in lliami for the preview of her latest picture, The Chicago Fire or Smoke Gets in Your Eyes, in which she had appeared with her handsome leading man, Oliver Pincombe, who was accom- panying her. One of the last to come aboard was the 1950 Orange Blossom Queen, Eve- lyn Chope, whose interest in Baldwin- VVallace College was still with her after ten years. After this auspicious event, we left the fair city of lNIiami. A few hours out, I heard some loud remarks emanating from the recreation deck, and, upon investiga- tion, I discovered a battle royal going on between Olive VVilliams and Adeline Yan- ke, co-authors of How to Hold Your Temper, over their shuffleboard game. page sixty-szx I was interrupted in my job of consoling the loser fyou guess whol, by the loud droning of an aquaplane overhead, piloted, we afterwards learned, by VVinston Loach, who had overtaken the ship in order to de- posit two important passengers. These per- sonages proved to be Betty Asling, the wife of the present owner of the lllarshall chain of drug stores, and Irene Filina, the first woman safety director of Cleveland. As we entered the harbor of Panama City, the natives rowed out to meet us, begging us to take off their hands one Billy Schultz, a geologist who had wandered up from South America. Immediately after the boat reached the pier, up the gangplank rushed Richard Scrivens, the famous bring lem back alive explorer, pursued by his two porters, james Butler and James Dozier, who claimed that they had not yet received their back pay. Directly after Richard, arrived .lean Scharkey, on vaca- tion from her position as attache at the American embassy in Panama City. A few minutes later, we were honored by the appearance of a traveling company of actors, who had been stranded Without funds in Panama when their play had closed there. This stock company consisted of llfargaret Hiner, Illarcella LaRue, Sam Petrie, Blargaret Curtis, josephine Hlavin, Robert VVagemaker, and VVilma Hilgen- dorf. They 'agreed to pay their passage back to the United States by giving night- ly performances of the play, The Elope- ment or VVho Forgot the Car Keysf' written by the renowned playwriting duo, jane hlohler and lliadeline Andrews, and directed by the day's most sought-after di- rector, Norman Alman, hlusic for this production was promised by .leanne Ilflenke, the blues-singer with the golden voice, accompanied by hlildred Latko and her hot accordion. VVith this pleasant prospect ahead, the passengers were all in a happy mood as the ship passed through the Panama Canal and turned north toward San Francisco. its next destination. This part of the trip Was uneventful up to the time We stopped at a desert island in the Pacific to take on fresh water. There, however, it was astonishing to see coming aboard three savage-looking women, who were barely recognizable as Blary Rooney, Evelyn Nlares, and Norma Rundle. They confessed to us that, having been unfortu- nate in their respective love affairs, they had decided to spend the rest of their lives as hermits, but had become heartily sick of the idea. After this event, it was only a matter of a few hours before we arrived in San Francisco. Coming on board to welcome us was the mayor, Richard VVorick, with his two assistants, Blanche VVosicki and llflarjorie Thompson, who presented our captain with the keys of the city. Another one of our visitors on board was Richard slaberg, who had spent the last ten years at the University of Southern California, and hoped to become a junior next year. Also coming on board was the fashion expert, Jeannette Curtis, who invited me to act as one of the judges of a beauty con- test being held on board that afternoon. VVhen the time for this contest arrived, we found the entrants to be Arline Schrauf, Dorothy Leinweber, Edna Drager, Helen Vianos, and Claire Thomson. After the winner had been named, and just before THE 19 page sixty-seven BZVZGD the ship sailed, l was privileged to receive a short but sweet visit from lietty Klar- cinski and l,ucille Ludwig, who had come :ill the way from Hollywood, where they were employed as costume designers by one of the largest film studios there. Soon after their departure, the ship weighed anchor and departed for its des- tination, Nome, Alaska. This last stop had been planned for the purpose of looking up our old friend, Alfred Schafer, who we heard had become an Alaskan sourdough. NVhen l saw Alfred for the first time in ten years, 1 was pleased to hear him say that he had worked himself up to the po- sition of chief pan-scraper in a gold-mining camp. Alfred introduced me to the camp cook, -lohanna VVagner, who declined our offer to return to civilization with us, as she was at present very much interested in one of the IHlIlCl'S. Our original two weeks were getting short, so we quickly set out on the return trip to New York, which was accomplished in record time. As we approached the pier which meant the end of our journey, I saw among the many friends who had gathered to welcome us back the face of Yvesley llaker, head of the New York branch of the Baker Funeral Home, who had missed the boat when we first sailed. Hoping that he wouldnlt be late at his own funeral, I took a fond leave of my former classmates.

Bill Schultz, Bob Adams, Norman Alman, Norma Slayer, Kladeline Andrews, .lo- hanna NVagner and Richard VVorick also became our acquaintances. Already our classmates were filling spaces left by our predecessors capably in the orchestra, chorus, band, organizations and athletics. The latter had in its midst three heroes-to-be, -lim Rademaker, .lack Arnold, and Don Phillips. At our first evening class party in the ninth grade one would have thought that there was a war between the boys and girls in the Oth grade then, since they segregated and danced only with their own sex fwith about two exceptionsl. The tenth scene caught Phillips shooting for baskets in Basketball, but in track we could see Ralph Artler, ,lack Boone, Ifu- gene llolcomb, Bob VVagemaker, Dave ICI- liot Cwho had entered our school this year from Lincoln High in Cantonj, Bob Ad- ams, VVarren Root, ,loe Zelinski, -lack Ar- nold, Don Phillips, John Still, and Bob Parshall running. However, the girls were not to be surpassed in sports for among the all-star champs in basketball of that year were ,Ieanne Klenke, lfvelyn Chope, Kath- erine llumphreys, llarcella La Rue, and Jeannette Curtis. Since our entrance into Berea High our class has always excelled in scholarship on the honor rolls and that year was no exception. Our stunt which depicted scenes of yesterday and today was exceedingly amusing Cto usl, however, the judges felt otherwise. Irene Chotkevys coming from St. Aloseph's Academy, YVil- lard VValchek, jack Stover and james Do- zier were additions to our class. ln this scene the class is looking forward to the eleventh scene f-Iunior yearj with great expectation. XVhat's this we see? Aba, the .lunior Alacl-gets. The color scheme of brown and burnt orange created quite a sensation in the halls of Berea High. A group of .lun- ior fellas fgirls, hold your placesj parade by, rigged up with hair ribbons, knee pants, paddles, cosmetics, and what have you, This is indicative of Hi-Y initiation. The llfasquers Club held its annual t1'youts by which certain juniors became members. Rlembers of the class of I9-lll were becom- ing to hold important offices in organiza- tions at this time. Our junior Class was so la1'ge that there was an overflow of some fifteen who rec- ognized room 102 as homeroomg the presi- dent of the overflow became Virginia VVhitmore but the entire class president was Don Phillips, who has held that posi- tion for two consecutive years. Our stunt this year brought to life all the toys in a toyshop. It was quite childish, but fun to remember the time when we were actually interested by any toy shop. A future senior-lfrench-translator-of-les- sons-for-other-seniors entered our class in her junior year: she is Arlene Schrauf. Another reposing, intelligent young lady entered our conglomeration: Helen Vianos, from VVest Tech. Richard -Iaberg, from Parma, Kenneth Bonsell, from Lincoln High, .lim Austin, Harold Lucal, Harold Gutzman, and xlosephine Hlavin became juniors with us in our ever increasing -lun- ior Class. lfnder the efficient directing of Klr. lliller we gave as our class play, High Pressure Homerh by Bruce Brandon, star- ring Truman Goss, Virginia VVhitmore, Irene Chotkevys, Robert Parshall, Edith Schmidt, Robert VVagemaker, Betty As- ling, Norma Rundle, NVesley Baker, Leo- narda Kobie, Bob Adams, and lfvelyn Chope. The play was a financially prosper- ous enterprise. Directed by Bliss Keeney we helped in the production of the success- ful 3-plays-in-one-night for the llasquers Club. One last occasion which I might say page s1 z'eI1ly-tu 0 topped all our junior affairs, and that was the junior-Senior prom. VVhere have all those youngsters in the first scene disappeared? VVhere are the girls that wore short dresses and matching pants that showed beneath? VVhat has hap- pened to the little boys in knee pants and blazing, figured, full length stockings, one of which was always down to the ankle? They are no more but instead they are stalwart, stalking, soaring, scholarly sen- iors with plenty of stamina. And why not? After all we are ready to encounter the problems which confront us in life. The President of the student govern- ment is Lee Ermang the leading actress of the lklasquers Club is Geraldine Noah, the girl excelling in sports of G.A.A. is Eve- lyn Chopeg the outstanding girl in Girl's League is Katherine Humphreys, the girl accredited with being most friendly in Friendship Club is Jeanne lvfenkeg the first man in Hi-Y Cwhich is for lllen Onlyj is Don Phillips, the captain of the good ship Football is Sam Petrickg the first chef of the Home Ec Club is Adeline Yankeg the Keeper of the Berean is John Still, we mustn't forget about the film operators who are Elmer Heintz, Jack Boone, and Dave Elliot. Our class is the proud possessor of two pairs of twins: Bette and lN'Iertle VVitbeck, and Leona and Leonarda Kobie. lNIary Smith from Dover, Frank Gu- dowski, and -lack Sawyer have joined us in our last of all scenes. As the scene faded away it reminded us that our twelve years of education are but a mere background and the basis for a higher education. After we leave our Al- PVIH1 the Comjwliments of the Underwood Elliott Fisher Company ma hlater most of our ways will run in different directions and it is the hope of your historian that you will reread this history and remember those of us who are many miles from you. -Virginia VVhitmore PATRQNS Arnold's Sc to 251.00 Store Berea Sc to 191.00 Store Art's lVIen's Shop Nagel and Highwood Hardware Co.
