Through the Pages That every noble purpose may be achieved. I f t m Every family must have a head if it is to be a unified and an efficient group. The head of our family of schools is Superintendent E. L. Bowsher. His is the responsibility of guiding and directing the various members in their many ac- tivities. He keeps a watchful eye on his brood to see that their affairs run smooth- ly. His is the voice of final authority, and to him falls the title Head of the House. Heading the DeVilbiss branch of our family of schools is our principal, Merritt C. Nauts. Under his guidance, scholarship, athletics, and extra-curricular activi- ties are regulated and encouraged. Like any fond parent he is always ready to back his children in their new ideas, restraining them only when his adult wisdom deems it necessary. Any problem that confronts young people is a problem for Mr. Nauts and his counsel has helped many organizations and individuals to find solutions. I - Russell Brown Problems will arise in any family, and capable handling is needed to solve them. Though new to his title, Russell Brown is not new to his job. As Dean of Boys he continues to give the same sound ad- vice he has handed out as a Spanish teacher in DeVilbiss for thirteen years. To the boys whose contacts with him have been both pleasant and otherwise. Mr. Brown has always proved to be un buen amigo. Directors of Activities Raymond Lowry, Geraldine Larkin, Leah Scheuren, Pauline Backus, Mildred Pasch, Russell Brown. There ' s one in every family! Someone to whom you can take your problems and receive some kindly advice. The girls of DeVilbiss find the door of 124 open and Miss Mildred Pasch waiting to help them. Vocational guidance has been one of her favorite fields. Arranging a schedule to fit the needs of the individual is a common task and her counsel has aided more than one girl in achieving her goal. M Ired Pasch 12 Any Bonds today? Hall Permit! ' 1},500° F. Activities Mr. Nauts is a very busy man and needs a little help around the house. Since the Navy claimed Mr. Mathias three years ago, his many duties have been divided among several teachers. His office has been taken over by Mrs. Pauline Backus who works un- der the title of Adjustment Adviser. She acts as a guidance counselor to a group of underclassmen. Mr. Raymond Lowry has charge of the Visual Educa- tion Department. Under his supervision, education- al shorts are shown to classes in 207 and full length features entertain Freshmen during lunch period. He keeps a watchful eye on equipment, repairing it and adding to the supply. Two important features of student self-government are the Hall Patrol and the Student Court. They have been functioning very efficiently this year. Miss Geraldine Larkin handled these groups during the first semester. Keeping the DeVilbiss library up-to-date and or- ganized is the job of Miss Leah Scheuren, Librar- ian. Vocation and college guidance materials are an important part of the library ' s service to stu- dents. The War Bond window offers a chance for all De- Vilbiss students to back the war effort and they have proved their patriotism by putting their cash in Kha- ki through the Curtis Magazine drive.

Not in Piatne. Bob Moor, Commissioner of Athletics. The Commissioners of DeVilbiss High School have spent a busy year and have done an outstanding job in each of their fields of activities. One of their most important pieces of work was the revision of the Constitution, bringing it up-to- date. The Court of Justice and the Hall Patrol have been greatly improved this year due to Commission- er efforts. Another achievement of this busy group was the republication of the Freshman Handbook. The re- organization of over twelve clubs was another step forward. They have successfully promoted the sale of War Bonds which amounted to $15,284.00. The Magazine Subscription Campaign was also under their management and a record total of $13,500.00 was brought in. Working behind the scenes, the Commissioners have assumed many responsibilities for which all too little credit is given. Their jobs are necessary functions in the life of the school and in the activities of the De- Vilbiss family. Nelle Anderson lening, the growing of roses, cooking, housekeeping, traveling — all are the favorite recreations of Mrs. Anderson. Having come to DeVilbiss the year the doors first opened, she has been with the schoi  1 for thirteen years. Frank Archambo Three years ago Mr. Archam- bo left Libbey High School where he had taught tor ten yeai s as a General Science instructor to enter DeVilbiss. Previous to his teaching in Libbey he had been a grad- uate assistant in Physics at the University of Pittsburgh. Pauline Backus 1 ::_■. reading, and eling are the favorite pastimes ol Mrs. Backus. On comple- te  n of her day of teaching and acting as one of our Jeans, she leaves for our rival school, Scott High, to teach adult Spanish classes in night school Mrs. Backus is a member of the original teaching staff of DeVilbiss. C. Y. Balsam of the teachers who has been a member of the DeVil- biss faculty for thirteen years is Mr Balsam. Farming and gardening takes Mr. Bal- sam s leisure time and in- terest. Mary Bargmann The hands that fashion fash- ions also swing a golf club. Miss Mary Bargmann is as much at home on the links as she is on the range. She has been teaching Home Economics in DeVilbiss Foi eleven of the thirteen years the school has existed. Dur- ing the 6th War Loan Drive no one was sate from the super-salesman tactics of this agent ol Uncle Sam. Carl A. Benson In 193? Mr. Benson cl imbed the steps of DeVilbiss with the first Benson burner tucked neatly under his arm. Mr. Benson had just finished his travels in Mexico. Cuba, Jamaica, British Honduras, and through all of Europe, and had now been made a member of the De V 1 1 h i ss teaching staff. In addition to performing his many teaching duties, Mr. Benson is also en- I as a very active union official. Forest Blanchard Mr. Blanchard, another collector at heart, always has an interested eye tor unusual guns, knives and antiques. He finds time, too, to manage a fruit farm in southern Ohio. Active in many groups, Mr. Blanchard is a member of the following organization: of the American Revolu- tion, Society of Colonial Wars, Northwestern Ohio 1 1 ist i i .i I So k ty, and the M.im inic Lodge. Rose Bloom Miss Bloom, a very active member of the DeVilbiss fa- culty, is interested in War Bond and Charit) Drives, and organizational activities — and one discovers that they arc- her hobby. Miss Bloom, a charter member of the DeVil- biss staff, is the guiding light of the aspiring DeVilbiss journalists and in this ca- pacity is more than adviser to the literary staff of the Pnsm Knowing and work- ing with so many young pci i- plc has given her the confidence that she has in the youth of today. Jeannette Brand r member of the orig- inal teaching staff is Mrs Brand, who like so many modern Americans has en- joyed tiaveling in such de- lightful spots as California, Florida, and Europe, to men- tion only a few. She too. has lound bridge playing to be a favorite pastime and hobby, and spends manv hours pur- suing it. Ward Bricker When Mr. Brickei w as ques- tioned as to what he thought oi the young people when lie was of high school aye, he stated that people have been merely repeating the phil- osophy of Peter the Hermit, who wrote about young peo- ple during the twelve cen- tury. Mr. Brieker believes just .is tins philosopher believed eight hundred years ago, that today as then, there are both good and bad youngsters. 16 Mathilde Burns The musical versitility i if Mrs. Mathilde Burns includes playing and teaching practi- cally any instrument in the orchestra. Her most enjoy- able work is teaching grade school children so that some- day they may play in her high school orchestra. Even though she is a teacher her- self, she still continues her music studies. She also plays first viola with the Friends ni Toledo Musi . Charlotte Burwick Quoting Miss Bur wick: 1 have a tremendous respect and admiration for our young people of today in their abil- ity to adapt themselves to an ever- increasing complex life. They have poise and confidence— know their way about. I admire the way they hold discussions on the is- sues of the day, the w-ay they subscribe to c urrent events magazines. I like their keen sense of humor and their sense of fairness Clarence Coontz When asked what his hob- by is, Mr. Coontz, with a twinkle in his eye, will reply, ' ' The drum major, the ma- jorettes and the cheerleaders of our band. An insurance agent and a floor- walker in the toy department of a To- ledo department store leaves little leisure time for this De- Vilhiss teacher. Questioned as to his opinion of the youth of today, Mr. Coontz stated that they arc identical with his i lassmates of his own high school days in Findlay. Wayne Cruey Mr. Cruey ' s outside work is more interesting than some might be, for when he makes the contacts that an insur- ance agent must, he meets so many different kinds of people. Despite the time his work demands, he likes to relax by reading some new book or playing golf. Born in Rantoul, Illinois, Mr. Cruey has been a DeVilbiss teacher for three years. Fern Dickey Miss Dickey, a member of the Toledo Naturalists ' Asso- ciation, finds time to enjoy nature even though employed in an office during the sum- mer months and busy with her teaching during the win- ter. She delights in taking walks to observe the flowers and the birds, and when the weather is not favorable for this she catches up on her reading. Miss Dickey is a comparative newcomer to the school for she has been on the staff for only five year-;. Jane Ehlenfeldt Mis. Ehlenfeldt, a native To- ledoan, with DeVilbiss four years as a student and or.e yeai .is ,i teacher, finds that from all her hosts of hob- ,, interior decorating and dancing share the honors for first plate. Herbert Emery Mr. Emery, no doubt help- ing the food shortage by his enjoyment of gardening, is also a devotee of music — all kinds apparently. Mr. Emery, ,i 1 si a charter member of the faculty, was originally an lowan. S. B. Emery Our teacher of DeVilbiss ' most ancient tongue expects greater accomplishments to be made by the youth of our generation as compared to the youth of his generation. He has also been pinned down to say that they seem to be eclipsing his generation in every way. Est bonus homo ! Lois Entemann Miss Enteman is one facul- ty member who has found her favorite hobby to be in DeVilbiss, since during a stay of six years she has de- cided that the best of all is the G. A. S. Last year she was awarded her Master ' s Degree and now is taking ad- ditional courses just for fun. Mary Fischer Outside of school, Miss Fis- cher has fun training her frisky Boston-terrior puppy. She also enjoys experiment- ing with oil paints and as- sembling early American fur- nishings and family heir- looms. She has given many hours of volunteer service as a Red Cross Gray Lady in Mercy Hospital. 17 Grammar and composition are but two items in the important curriculum of our English classes. Extra interest and learn- ing by participation in community cultural resources is presented to the students in special correlation courses given bi-week- ly at the Toledo Museum of Art. Journalism, too, comes under the heading of the English Department, with practical ex- perience at hand through work on either the school annual or the newspaper. Radio .iml Speech — One of the newer courses offered in our school is the all-important field of radio. Budding scriptwriters, producers, actors, and announcers find their opportunity here. In cooperation with the speech classes a varied program of study and production is scheduled each year, including the reading of announcements and special scripts. Broadcasts over WSPD and WTOL are given through the facilities of the Warren Radio Workshop. 19 Alfred Florence Mr. Florence of the Physical Education Department, has also acquired favorite pas- times with which to while away the few leisure hours one has during war times. He has chosen hunting and fishing, the favorite outdoor sports of all who are inter- ested in outdoor life. The fact that he was born in Scot- land, undoubtedly, is the reason for his nickname ' Scott ie. Ellen Foote Having been with DeVilbiss since it opened. Miss Foote has good reason to have ac- quired the very good knowl- edge of students that she now has ; which knowledge has made her more confident that young people have vast horizons before them, if they but see them . She bel ieves that pupils are now more sophisticated and better equip- ped to look after themselves than they were in previous years. Music is Miss Foote ' s favorite pastime and hobby. Virginia Francis When Mrs. Francis was born in Norfolk, Virginia, her parents named her for the state in which she was born. A true naturalist, she follows her school courses by choosing bird study and camping as her favorite hob- bies, and Bible teaching as a pastime. As an additional activity, she employs part of her time outside of school to Jo some mimeographing and typing. Traveling dur- ing vacations has enabled Mrs. Francis to cross both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, spending some time in Eng- land and three months in Japan. Alice Gerding Some years before the war, in 1933 and 1936 to be ex- act. Miss Gerding supple- mented her college work by studying in Germany and visiting for pleasure, a num- ber of European Countries. Her hobbies consist of sew- ing, cooking, and collecting china and glass. Last sum- mer Miss Gerding worked in a defense plant. Lela Greunke Like so many other women, Mrs Greunke loves to play contract bridge and spends much of her free time pursu- ing this fascinating game. Working in her flower garden whenever she has time is something she alwav doing. Harold Grubs Training men and women to operate machines is Mr. Grub ' s contribution to the war effort. Working sum- mers on his own farm is en- joyed bv Mr. Grubs. Iva Guire Miss Guire ' s Michigan farm calls her when her teaching day is done, and we find her driving daily ,from DeVilbiss to Monroe. A fa- culty member for thirteen years, she hasn ' t yet left us t take up her farming as a full time job. Fannie Gunn Bewildered students, who gaze helplessly around the library as if they had nevtr seen a book before, are all in a day ' s work to Mrs. Gunn. She can usually be found tucked away in the cataloging room, working on books both new and old. During her ten years at DeVilbiss many students have received help from her in finding their way around the library. Frederica Hanson Miss Hanson has the true collector ' s spirit and has long collected antique cranberry glass. American Pressed glass, china, lustreware — in fact, much of early Americana. As a student of nature lore and a member of The Toledo Naturalists ' Association, she enjoys hiking, bird study, and all such outdoor activities. M is-. Hansnn came to DeVil- biss three years ago as a teacher in the Science De- partment. Elaine Hirth Miss Hirth, who has been with DeVilbiss for thirteen years and is a native Toledo- an. is the other guiding light of the Prism Staff in her ca- p.uity of adviser to the busi- ness stair. Her time is well 0C( upied b) fulfilling the de- mands of her teaching, her job downtown, and her church activities With all of these activities taking so much of her energy, she re laves by enjoying the advan- tages of wide reading and music. m 20 Floy Jacobs [ he girls and boys of high ichool age now have more nterests and opportunities : or individual development. Therefore they can carry on i conversation and have ideas in many subjects ; claims Miss Jacobs when one asks bout the progress of Ameri- an High School youth in :he last few generations. Miss la li ihs, who is herself well ead, and who considers read- ng her hobby, has advanced in opinion that coincides with hat of most of our intel- igent, well informed adults. Elizabeth Johnson When DeVilbiss first opened its doors, Miss Johnson joined the faculty. During the ensuing thirteen years there have been many DeVil- biss graduates who can thank Miss Johnson for their knowl- edge of what x equals. The addition of Everyday Living to our curriculum enabled Miss Johnson to prove her capabilities as a Red Cross First-Aid Instructor. Mildred Johnston When asked by the faculty editors her opinion of today ' s generation of youthful Amer- ti ans, Miss Johnston re- marked, I believe that young people today are es- pecially talented and cap- able. She thoroughly enjoys the subject she teaches. This artist enjoys home decora- tion and collects costume dolls as hobbies. Last sum- mer Miss Johnston did some work on the Gallup Poll, and in summers past she has trav- eled and vacationed in New- York City and in the Rocky Mountains. Lucille Kerlin Busy Miss Kerlin sets aside as much time as she can from her teaching and other activi- ties to lose herself in her favorite hobby of tending her flower garden and yard of her new home. Twice a month Miss Kerlin may be found hostessing in the Wil- lard U.S.O. lounge. Interna- tionally minded, she is an International Relations Group Leader in the Toledo branch of A.A.N.W., and a member of a similar study committee of the National Education Association. Clyde Kiker Mr. Kiker, born in Nettleton, Arkansas, and with DeVilbiss these last thirteen years, is an especially interesting person because of the many different jobs he has held. They are greatly diversified and in- clude: machinist and assem- bler at the Spicer Manufac- turing Company, Playground Director for the Board of Education, newspaper report- er, and the teaching of car- pentering to boys in the Newsboys ' Auditorium. This last has always interested him and he still enjoys cab- inet making as his hobby. Harriet Kimble Miss Kimble, a native of Kansas City, has been on the faculty here for ten years. In her American History and Everyday Living classes she aids her students in under- standing their responsibilities as citizens. She has traveled extensively in the West and Fast ol the United States. Amy Kimpton Miss Kimpton teaches arts crafts to Girl Scout Leaders m training camps. Last sum- mer she taught in Camp Juni- per Knoll near Elkhorn, Wis- consin ; and in Camp Julia Grove near Indianapoiis. Mo- toring, sketching and painting are her hobbies. Every spring Miss Kimpton has had her oils and water colors in the Toledo Artists ' Show at the Toledo Museum of Art. Al- ays Miss Kimpton is keenly interested in the art successes of her students, encouraging them to enter various art contests. Margaret King Mrs. King, a native Toledo- an, entered DeVilbiss when it tirst opened in 1931 and served in the capacity of Dean of Girls for eight years. Teaching is Mrs. King ' s fav- orite hobby. Perhaps because ot tier ready humor and good nature, she has been asked to serve as adviser to many clubs and societies in the past, and is now adviser to the Peri- dean Literary Club. Harold Kingeter Mr. Kingeter, comparatively a newcomer to DeVilbiss, hails from the state of Wisconsin, and helps carry the burden of two favorite subjects— wood- shop and drawing. Having had an opportunity to study conditions in other schools, he feels that the young people of DeVilbiss should take ad- vantage of the many oppor- tunities which are now of- fered to them in high school. Mr. Kingeter likes to read in Irs sp.ire time. Ollie Klee Mr. Klee, another faculty member who enjoys doing things outside of school which occupy a great deal of his time and attention, officiates at high school and college basketball and football games during their respective sea- sons. Mr. Klee, a member of the DeVilbiss faculty these last eleven years, wonders if the students in his day weren ' t just a little more serious- minded than the students ot today. Languages — Now, more than ever before, the essentiality of understanding other nations is being realized. No department can more fully advance this knowledge than can the division of languages. Since the war started, the study of German has been practically dropped from the curriculum, but either the Latin, the Spanish, or the French language forms some part of nearly every student ' s high school career. 22 Social Science — The many history courses offered in the DeVilbiss curriculum are all of major importance to our training for the future as well as to our understanding of the backgrounds of the countries with which we are now involved. The study of Ancient and Medieval, American, Modern European, Latin American, Oriental, and World Histories will aid in interpretating the humanity with which we will all be working. 23 Grace Kratz Elizabeth Barrett Browning has nothing on Miss Grace Kratz. Poetry is one of her by-products. The most im- portant things she produces, however, are the students who leave her classes with an un- derstanding of good English. The Sophomore class is for- tunate to have her for an ad- viser. She also pilots Drama, Inc. through the perils of Shakespeare and Shaw. Bernice Krause Mrs. Krause, as many students are doing, works in a depart- ment store, LaSalle Koch ' s, on Mondays and Saturdays. Yet she still finds time to squeeze in some Red Cross work. Mrs. Krause, who has traveled in the East and West, enjoys reading current books and going to the movies. Rightfully, she is very proud of her son, Robert, who is a midshipman at Annapolis. Geraldine Larkin When Miss Larkin is not teaching school, she is prac- ticing law or flying an air- plane. Since her arrival in DeVilbiss three years ago, she has been the instructor of Aeronautics and Commercial Law. At the end of the first semester of this school year, Miss Larkin left DeVilbiss to enter private law practice. The pre-flight classes have re- gretted the loss of their fly- ing teacher. Gertrude Le Gron Miss LeGron has had quite a bit of experience with dogs and enjoys working with them and training them. In the past she has entered pets in four shows. Her present especial pride is her Boxer. During the summer, Mrs. LeGron does her bit for the war effort by working either in an office or in a defense plant. Marie Lerche Miss Lerche, in charge of testing in our building, is one of the Senior Class advisers, and one of the Senior Friend- ship Club advisers. Having spare time and not enough to do, she has been taking I ni versity classes. This busy lady loves to cook. She even has moments for recreation — these she uses for her hobbv ol weaving. Beatrice Louy Burns, Browning, and Benet are not the only B ' s familiar to Miss Beatrice Louy. After spending four summers at the American Conservatory in Chi- cago, she received her degree for her knowledge of Bach. Beethoven, and Brahms. Be- fore the war she traveled ex- tensively in the European countries and in the United States. Raymond Lowry If, by any chance you should find a diplodocus or a tricera- tops, run to Mr. Lowry with your find for his hobby is ' digging for old things. ' Mr. Lowry has traveled around the world twice, spending a great deal of time in China. One of his most worthwhile and in- teresting experiences was as a member of one of Roy Chap- man Andrew ' s expeditions. Ruth Lukens Miss Lukens is, without a doubt, the most widely trav- eled teacher in DeVilbiss for her jaunts have taken her . ' .round the world and back to some of the countries several times. Her photography of her trips has been a great source i ii interest and pleasure to her many friends as well as to the high school students. Blanche Luther Mrs. Luther, one of the bus- iest persons we have ever known, finds time to be an officer or a member of vari- ous organizations such as: The Toledo Councellors Clinic, the Northwestern District of the Ohio National Vocational Guidance Association ; the To- ledo Business and Profession- al Women ' s Club. A U.S.O hostess, an adviser of the DeVilbiss Sunday Musical and Sub-Debs, a Sophomore ( lass adviser, Mrs. Luther is also interested in the t ol lecting of miniature pitchers and in sewing. Olive McHugh When the first spadeful of earth was turned to make the Pest House site the De- Vilbiss camDus, Miss McHugh sa id , Someday I ' 11 teach there. And here she has been ever since, teaching English and more recently Radio As proof of her achievement in the field of radio, in 19 to she accepted a Rockefeller Grant for work with the Eval- uation of School Broadcasts ; m 1 94 1 she worked with a Doctor I. Q. program ; the summers of 1943 and 19 ( i she handled music continuity tor the National Music Camp broadcast from Interhuhen ; and in 1944 she was a mem- ber ol the Wl iters ' War 1 ■ 24 Dave McMurray Mr, McMurray, the physical education instructor for all Freshman boys and a teat hei of Hygiene, considers all sports his main hobby. Gar- dening he lists next in his interests. One of the newer members of the faculty, Mr. McMurray has been on the staff only two years. R- O. Merrill Mr Merrill, like all (i tie sportsmen, is an ardent fish erman. During the past sev- eral summers, as his contri- bution to the manpower short- age, he has worked at the Willys Overland Company, the Acklin Stamping Company, and has done some govern- ment teaching in our school. Mr. Merrill takes special pride in his two sons in servKe, one of whom is a Captain in the Air Corps of the United States Army. B. Faye Miller Miss Miller, our health guar- dian here at DeVilbiss. fur- thers her interest in public health education by doing field work summers in New York City. Also a Red Cross Nurse and a U.S.O. hostess, she still has time to enjoy her favorite hobbies— reading, traveling, and the theater. Dorothy Mills Mis MtlU ' widely diversified hobbies absorb most of her free time during the school year, and consist of modern poetry, symphony concerts, Spanish, stage plays, piano, foreign news, and letters. Dur- ing the summer time, how- ever, hobbies seem unimpor- tant as she reviews each year 1 ome of her traveling ambi- tions. In the past she has spent her summers in Flori- da, Western United States Na- tional Parks, New York City, California, Mexico. One sum- mer she visited thirteen coun- n its in Europe. Ethel Pasquier In days gone by quier was quite Mrs. Pas a traveler She has visited England France, Italy, Switzerland Sicily, Holland, Belgium Norway, Sweden, Denmark Canada, and most of the Unit ed States. Proving that side angle side equals side angle S ' de, leaves Mrs. Pasquier too little time for the reading and gardening she so much en- ioys. A favorite topic of her conversation is her nephew. Lieutenant Jack Hasey — an American in General De Gaulle ' s Army. Lieutenant Hasey ' s autographed book Yankee Fighter is in the DeVilbiss Library. Pierre Pasquier Want a cab ' ' Don ' t be sur- prised if you find Mr. Pas- quier, DeVilbiss ' good French- man, sitting behind the wheel of a taxicab. And he is a taxicab driver extraordi- naire ! Teaching his native language to eager DeVilbiss students and enjoying his hobbies of stamp collecting, painting, and eating keeps him .1 b usy man. Alice Perkins Mis. Perkins, a Texan from 1 1 Paso, was a welcome ad- dition to our staff two years ago. A very busy housewife, she spends most of her hours outside of school in her home duties. Yet she does find time to garden, sew, and play con- cur bridge — all her hobbies. Norman Pollman During this last summer, Mr. Pollman. naturally interested in physical education and sports, was athletic supervisor of Camp Storer, and in sum- mers past he has traveled to Lastern and Western United States and Mexico. Mr. Poll- man and his wife are great movie fans and enjoy seeing one or two movies a week. Irving Pross Mr. Pross, aside from his many teaching duties, has found time to pursue a wide variety of outside interests. His main hobbies are photog- raphy, cabinet making and fishing. Particularly do out- of-door activities interest him. Mr. Pross was born in Platte- ilk. Wisconsin, and has been with the DeVilhiss faculty since the school first opened. Aurelia Quinn Miss Quinn, interested in trav- eling in and around the Car- ibbean in particular, has visit- ed various parts of Mexico, Panama, Trinidad, the West Indies. She has also traveled in Europe. No doubt, she has found many coins and stamps in these countries that were suitable to put in her collec- tion. Another favorite hobby of hers is dogs — in any size, shape, and variety. Miss Quinn has been with DeVilbiss since it first opened in 1931. 25 In nearly every technical field one of the first necessities is basic knowledge of Mathematics in all forms. More than a technical study, however, all phases of this exact science are abasis for logical reasoning and individual discovery. General Math, Beginning and Advanced Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry are all taught in a Mathematics De- partment DeVilbiss can well be proud of. The scientifically-minded students of DeVilbiss are many, judging from the variety of interests to be found in our Science Dcp.il moit. The physical sciences, ranging from General Science, Biology, and Physiology, to Chemistry and Physics are some of the most interesting studies to be found in DeVilbiss ' curriculum. 27 Eva Samsen Mildred Schmidt Ursula Schmit Leah Schueren Edith Schwenke As though teaching Geometry and Trigonometry weren ' t enough. Miss Eva Samsen ex- tends her interest in young people as adviser to the Junior Class and to the Junior Friendship Club. Her sense of humor and her slide rule are legends of DeVilbiss and though her travels have taken her all over the country, she has always come back to 201. Miss Schmidt, a native Tole- do.! n. has taught in our S( ience Department ten years. All sports, particularly ice- skating, are enjoyed by Miss Schmidt. Traveling through the Panama Canal, motoring around our country — have been of the greatest interest and pleasure to this teacher. Miss Schmit is a newcomer to DeVilbiss this year but she has fitted herself into the school activities with ease. Her interest in art and drama- tics has been used by the Se- n ; or Play Committee to great advantage. As an organizer she has proved her capability, i t present she is president of the Toledo School Women ' s Club, an organization whose membership consists of nearly all the women teachers in the city. Miss Schueren, who has trav- eled extensively in the United has hobbies that in- clude books, the theater, con- certs, nature study, young children, and teen-age young- sters. She has loved books and greatly valued the art of reading since girlhood days. Today, she enjoys beautiful poetry, good drama, interest- ing biography, notable travel hooks, profitable fiction. As I ' brarian, she strives to bring people and hooks together. Seven times the cultural cen- ters of Lurope have been isited by parties conducted by Mrs. Schwenke. In Paris, France, Mrs. Schwenke was pnnupal of the American H igh School . Coming to us from Scott, she became a member of the original teach- ing staff of DeVilbiss and has remained with us ever since. Mrs. Schwenke, very much in- terested in art and music, en- joys frequently the facilities i it It-red by the Toledo Muse- um of Art. Maria n Smith Many and varied are her in- terests — music, ballet, poetry, dude ranclting. Miss Smith grows fifty different roses, studies piano, collects Early American glass and recipes. Languages have been almost a hobby since high school days: French, Spanish, Latin, German, and most recently, Portuguese. Her travels have taken her to Europe, Canada, Cuba, Panama, Mexico, and thirty states. Last summer she was chosen by the government for spec ial study in the Spanish Language Institute in Me im City. Ruth Smith Vacationing on a dude-ranch in the Colorado Rockies, mo- toring in the East and West, sailing to Europe, England, and Calif ornia— a 11 are things Miss Smith hopes to resume hen peace makes them pos- sible. Until that time comes, graduate study in English in a Vermont college takes her East each summer. During the sc hool year, her weekly Red Cross volunteer service as a Gray Lady in Flower Hospi tal might be said to be hei hobby. At present Miss Smith is working toward her second two-hundred hour stripe. Barbara Spayd Miss Spayd is another inter- esting person on the DeVilbiss lac u 1 ty and is espec i ally re- membered for being the editor of school editions of novels and poetry. Since Miss Spayd has traveled to Canada, almost .-11 of the United States, Ire- land, Scotland, and England. it is not surprising that one ' hould discover traveling as her hobby — this, together with reading, greatly interests her. D. N. Stalker Last summer after an absence .I seventeen years, Mr. Stalk- er returned to the Merchant M.n me, and he is planning on signing up again as soon , ' s this school term is over. During his service he has made numerous trips to Eu- rcpe, as well as to the Dutch East Indies. A member of the faculty since the school open- ed, Mr. Stalker also has been for several years the acting Industrial Arts Head of all Hie ( itv si hools, Marie Stoll Young people today, for the ■lost part, are more alert, ac- ( ve m more and bigger pur- suits and projects, and are able to assume almost adult responsibilities, was the statement of Miss Stoll when t mi 1 1 on ted with the question put to so many members of the faculty. She has been ith the DeVilbiss staff since September, 19 1 . Genevieve Stowe Miss Stowe, of our English Depigment, is still a firm believer m traveling, even af- ter she has returned from Europe, Mexico, Canada, and all of the United States. Dur- ing the summers since the war began, Miss Stowe has been helping the emergency by of fering her services to a rea estate company, reserving however, for less busy mo ments, the pursuit of her hob by of interior decorating. Anne Sutter Naturally since wc always find math teachers being ex- cellent bridge players, we would expect Mrs. Sutter to name this game as one of her pastimes. After bridge, come gardening and housekeeping — her outside of school hour in- terests. Jane Terhell Naturally interested in sports, Mrs. Terhell derives much en- joyment from bowling and golfing. Her pride and joy is her daughter, who after at- tending college, acquired a position in a research labora- tory of the Sun Oil Company. Mrs. Terhell became a mem- ber of the DeVilbiss teaching staff seven years ago Daisy Van Noorden It you should walk into Miss VanNoorden ' s third hour class around November first, you would find her busily filling Red Cross boxes for the chil- dren of England. At almost any other time you will find her doing anything she can do to help the Junior Red Cross. Miss Van Noorden has been with DeVilbiss since it pencil. David Voss When Mr. Voss sailed the Mediterranean in 1922, visit- ing those countries, he took the advantage of the oppor- tunity of adding to his col- lection of stamps and coins. Mr. Voss, President of the Faculty, is also an adviser of the Senior Class, the Roman Club, and the Chess Club. Marjorie Warner Miss Warner, a native Tole- doan, has been with DeVilbiss since its opening year. She has traveled to Europe once, and to the West several times. Miss Warner ' s interests are :entered around the study of current events, photography, dressmaking, hiking, playing the piano, and the reading of timely books. Carrie Whaley Outside of school walls, Mrs. Whaley is a very busy woman and immensely enjoys her du- ties .1 round her farm taking care of her garden and chick- ens, her four dogs and her cat. Some of the more im- portant activities that took up her time before she became preoccupied by her farm, were traveling to England, and Eu- rope in 1930. Mrs. Whaley was one of those who attend- ed the ceremony of the turn- ing i ! the first ground for I tcVilbiss. Ethel Willoughby Miss Willoughby, a native of [ oledo, began her teaching in DeVilbiss the year the high school opened. Those who know Miss Willoughby know- she appreciates and under- stands and enjoys music. Philip Zaugg Mr. Zaugg ' s particular inter- ests seem to be quite diversi- fied — his woodshop work, his three children, his music. During the summer you might find him attending summer school, working in a factory, or participating in summer opera. Norma Hayes Eight years ago Mrs. Hayes came from Waite High School to work in the DeVilbiss ca- feteria. For the last several years she has served our school as the head dietician. Mrs. Hayes is particularly well suited to her work because foods have been her hobby ever since she was a girl. iLakA 29 ( Undisturbed by Gremlins, the Preflight students in room 250 worked energetically last semester, pursuing knowledge along air-minded lines. Included in their studies were the theories of flying and plane construction and navigation ... On the feminine side of the ledger are the studies presented by the Home Economic! Department of our school. Courses arc- varied, including clothing, sewing, cooking, and home decoration and management. irl — F or those who like bright colors and paintbrushes, the art courses given on our third floor are a school in themselves. Crafts, design, portrait and landscape-painting, commercial art — all phases of art training are taught by our two artist-in- structors . . . Music — To the musically-minded, DeVilbiss offers ample opportunity for the development of either instru- mental or vocal talent. Valuable experience and expert instruction are to be found in our orchestra, band, glee-club, or a ca- pella choir under the guidance of our fine music staff. 1 . ■ i V 3 9 W M ■ mm i 0FHi ; ! 1 ffijjjgM V J| ||fc ' --JwfeL ■JK; - «B Florence Lanz M iss Lanz is another Ameri- can who believes in seeing America first. ' ' She has mo- tored twice throughout the cultural and industrial centers of the East. As proof that she travels in both directions, she relates that she has spent many happy summers on her cou- sin ' s 1600 acre ranch in west- ern Colorado. Besides travel- ing, Miss Lanz enjoys bi idge as her other hobby. Mary Tanber Mrs. Tanber enjoys the sum mer from the cool shade of her cottage in the Ozark Mountains, and there partici pates in the summer sports that are offered. She particu larly enjoys boating and bowl ing and classes them as her favorite pastimes. Mrs. Tan ber, a native of Toledo, join cd the office forte at DeVil hiss in 1941. Betty Weber DeVilbiss has been flattered several times in its thirteen years by having a student af- ter graduation return to work for the school . Miss Weber, a member of the class of ' 44, became once again a part of DeVilbiss when she joined the office force this last fall. Checking and recording the schools ' daily att e n d a n c e keeps Miss Weber busy. Frank Gordon Mr. Gordon, chief engineer of the school, has occupied his position in DeVilbiss for nearly five years, and has worked twenty years for the Toledo Board of Education. He comes from Findlay. Ohio. Like many men, Mr. Gordon enjoys fishing, spending much of his time pursuing this hob- by. Adam Por ' r ' enbaugh Sanitation is the major hobby of Mr. Poffenbaugh although he spends much of his time working in his rose garden and also seems to find time to watch the playing of many spurt matches. For twenty years Mr. Poffenbaugh has been affiliated with the To- ledo Board of Education. He came to DeVilbiss two weeks before its opening in 1932.

Homeroom 117 is just one of the homerooms in DeVilbiss that can say one of its members is now serving in the United States Armed Forces, and we are very proud of him. He is George Miller, who is now serving in the Merchant Marines. Heading the list of class officers is President Dick Pio. Bob Buckley was elected Vice-President, and serving as Secretary-Treasurer is Steve Danko. Our Red Cross Representative is Shirley Blinn while Joan Spearing represents the Pot O ' Gold and the Prism is heralded by Pat Pocotte. Our good record in the purchasing of war stamps is due to the fine work of Suzanne Gross. We are also proud to say that we have a Junior Class officer in our midst. Bob Buckley, who was elected Treasurer. Scholar ship is important in 117 with twelve mem- bers on the Honor Roll. Shirley Blinn, Shirley Boote, Bob Buckley, Suzanne Gross, Rosemary Hoef- fle, Joanne Less, Robert Peele, Dick Pio, Joan Spear- ing, Jack Webb, Marvel Whipple, and Fred Willis are the brainy dozen. Robert Peele is even more ambitious, planning to graduate this year. Our class lost a member when Doris Bell left the chilly North for Georgia. Add Fred Willis to the list of Athletes. Fred is a member of the DeVilbiss Bowling Team. With such a fine group in her homeroom Miss An- derson is looking forward to an active Senior year. 73 CARL BENSON — ROOM 212 Row 1.

Among the flasks and test tubes of Mr. Benson ' s room you can find twenty-three Junior chemists in- terested in practically every phase of school life. Head man is our President, Al Cramer, with Paul Brinker aiding him as Vice-President. Shirley Ruhl holds the office of Secretary and our banker is Treasurer Ed Connaway, who invests our money in War Stamps. Busily selling Pot O ' Gold subscrip- tions is the way we picture Pat Stacey, our So- licitor. Grace Pizer keeps us at almost 100% Prism sales. Club activities occupy the spare time of many of our members. This year our class is represented in the Dramatics Club by its former President, Rod- erick Gettel, and Pat Stacey, the Treasurer. Paul Brinker regularly attends Engineer ' s Club meetings, while Mary Anne McGuire, Marilyn Prentiss, Pat Stacey, and Grace Pizer help keep the Friendship Club running smoothly. Having a good time with the Sub Debs are Shirley Ruhl, Mary Anne Mc- Guire, Pat Stacey, and Grace Pizer. Bill Duensing gees to Hi-Y meetings. Mary Anne McGuire has won a DeVilbiss D and a chevron for her activi- ties in the G. A. S. and the Leaders Club. School service holds a place in our lives, too. La- von Bible spends two hours each week keeping would-be roamers out of the halls. 209 ' s contri- butions to the annual library Christmas program were Roderick Gettel, Beverly Chandler, Javan Ccrl, and Yvonne Fairbanks. Yvonne ' s lovely voice is also heard in the Acapella Choir. Javan Corl came out a winner in the annual Prince of Peace Declamation Contest. Claiming places on the Honor Roll are Pat Stacey, Yvonne Fairbanks, and Al Cramer. 74 CLARENCE COONTZ — ROOM 126 When the boys of homeroom 126 came back to school last fall, they were surprised to see that their ranks had swelled slightly with, of all things, girls! Yes, this Men ' s Club faced a female invasion. The daintier sex even snatched away the majority of homeroom offices, although the men elected Ben Durian, President; George Mooney, Vice-President; Ralph Winter, Treasurer; and Jack Robedeau, Stu- dent Council Representative. The girls filled the other oLices with Edythe Ourbacker acting as Secre- tary, Jean Pray representing the Pot O ' Gold, Sylvia Fishman helping us buy War Bonds, Joyce Morris taking care of Red Cross work, and Charmaine Smith selling Prisms. This new element has benefited us greatly for our class has participated in activities it had never been in before. Prism sales shot up to 100%, War Bond sales increased, and a good showing was made in the magazine drive, to mention a few of our activities. Those whose grades entitled them to places on the Honor Roll are Jack Robedeau, Joyce Mitchell, Ockle Johnson, Ben Durian, Ralph Waters, Jean Fmk- beiner, and Jean Ann Pray. Our basketball team surprisingly enough is compris- ed of all males, such as Jack Meyers, Alan lines, Larry Lennon, Al Schindler, and John Blodgett. There, at least, we have not had to combat the wo- man ' s touch. Row 1, Charmaine Smith, Joyce Mitchell, Charlene Haas. Donna Hill, Jean H.insc-n, Jean Finkenbiner.

Onto the screen comes a picture of Miss Alice Gerding ' s Junior homeroom. We ' d like to have you keep your eye on this group which is really go- ing places at DeVilbiss through the efforts of its capable members. They ' ll do it everytime! Names that have appear- ed on the Honor Roll every quarter are those of Milton Boesel, Bertha Compton, Judy Frease, Betty Lou Huntley, Melvin Mull, Phyllis Tanber, Sue Warnke, and Roger Woodruff. Joanne Birkenkamp is the efficient President, with Bud Boesel as Vice-President. The author of class notes is Barbara Radke. Collector of finances is Bill Bishop. Judy Frease plays a dual role of Student Council Representative and Prism Solicitor with 100% sales. Responsible for the large number of P.T.A. members among the parents of the class is Betty Lou Huntley. A great deal of credit goes to Roger Woodruff for the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. Alice Ankney, Pot O ' Gold Solicitor and Phyllis Tanber, Red Cross Representative have been eager beavers on their jobs. This energetic homeroom is well represented in the clubs at DeVilbiss, such as the G.A.S., Boys ' Ath- letics, Friendship Club, Hi-Y, Spanish Club, and several others. It also boasts of Bill Bishop, a mem- ber of the Varsity Football Squad. To help relieve the labor shortage, many of our students work in Toledo stores and other places of business after school. We warn you again to watch this group as it makes a name for itself in the history of DeVilbiss High School.

This homeroom has many outstanding students to whom we give credit below. The boys who lead in room M-21 are Jim Kirk, President and Lynn Paquette, Vice-President. Har- old Wainscott, the boy with the sense of humor, is Secretary and Russell Spindler takes care of the money. Joan Keller and Ronald Schmidt deserve full credit for their well won places on the school Honor Roll. Although low on Honor Roll students, we make up for it on the athletic field. The boys who rep- resent us on the Varsity football squad are: Bob Nappenbach. Norbert Todd, Russell Spindler, and Dick Saxer. The last three also play Varsity bas- ketball. On the Bowling Team are Dick Saxer, Jim Arbaugh, and Dick Leverenz, who won his letter as manager. Other letter winners are Cheerleader Jim Stoll and Jim Kirk of the Cross Country Team. The special jobs and committee chairmen are as fol- lows: Joan Keller, Student Council; Norbert Todd, Red Cross; Ernest Roehrs, Prism; Barbara Harget, War Stamps; Merrill Brand, Pot O Gold; and John Fink, Junior Representative. Bob Krupa Ensign, the school ' s favorite drum- mer, and Jack Fish of the Stage Crew call M-21 home. We salute Joan Keller, John Flick, Harry Patter- son and Bernice Reingruber, outstanding Bond buy- ers. We also salute |ohn Bradley, who left us for the Navy. We wish him God Speed and hope he ' ll be back soon. We think we have the finest homeroom in the school and look forward to a successful year. We extend our full appreciation to our adviser Mr. Grubs. R„tr 1. Chuck Charpie.

In spite of this fact, three of our officers are boys. Duane Busch- man leads our class as President, and Don Robert- son ably assists him as Vice-President. Sue Brown, Secretary, keeps the minutes, and Harold Ray takes care of our evergrowing Treasury. Lorraine De Smet represents us at Student Council meetings, and Roberta Kammeyer is our Pot O ' Gold representative. Eleanor Channell has done a fine job as Prism Solicitor this year, as we have had an almost one-hundred per cent purchase each time. Our Red Cross Representative, Ann Cravens, work- ed especially hard this year, turning out favors for Toledo Hospital. Dorothy Reed succeeded in bring- ing our class near the top in the Sixth War Loan drive. Room 209 is especially proud of the grades of its Honor Roll students: Sue Brown, Eleanor Channell, Ann Cravens, Lorraine De Smet, Nancy Donnelly, Roberta Kammeyer, Mary Ann Papenfuss, Gretch- en Peper, Don Powlesland, Don Robertson, and Betty Wolfe. Last year we lost some of our finest members: Gale Heiney, Helen Hartley, Carl Thielman, and Polly Moser, but in their places gained some equally fine people. They are Don Robertson, Dick Buckley, Dale Lichtenwald, Rosamond Lasater, and Elaine Athanas. Anne Brown who was with us her Fresh- man year, but went to Tennessee last year, is with her old homeroom again. Our students in extra-curricular activities are: Bill Schuler, Varsity Football: Jim Hunt, Cross Country Team; and Mary Ann Papenfuss and Carol Gallup in the Leaders ' Club.

Miss Jacobs ' homeroom may be composed entirely of weak females but we girls have kept up with the rest of the homerooms in accomplishments and scholarship. At the beginning of the year we elected officers to lead us through our Junior activities. Mary Dewey became President with Marilyn Simpson assisting. Marianne Chambers is scribe to both our group and the entire Junior Class. Joan De Angelo keeps the money, Pauline Photos is Student Council Repre- sentative, and Barbara Jones represents us on the Executive Committee. Donna Rowe heads our Red Cross activities while Leona Blank of the Prism and Beverly Ranck of the Pot O ' Gold relieve us of our hard-earned cash. We can boast of going over the top in all school campaigns. For the Magazine Subscription drive we collected a total of $149. Beverly Ranck, who sold the most subscriptions in one day, attended a movie on school time. The Red Cross drive netted $6.10. Marilyn Simpson, Jean Ann Schroeder, Bar- bara Conover, Wilda Jarrett, Joyce Walters, Evelyn Frankfurt and Mary Dewey together bought $675 worth of Bonds! Thirteen girls of this homeroom add to their patriot- ism by working after school to relieve the shortage of workers. Arlene Davis and Marilyn Zanville did hospital duty under the Red Cross. Never again underestimate the power of women. 79 CLYDE KIKER — ROOM 325 Row 1, Peggy Jackson, Joanne Kuohn, Clare Ann Amundson, Barbara Payne, Phyllis Kramb, Jeanne Haverstock, Nancy Low- ry, Barbara Renn, Ruth Gartner.

Row J, Joe Weaver, Art Fisher, Jim Serviss. Mr. Kiker ' s homeroom, in its Junior year, has con- tinued its fine tradition of being just ordinary folk but very versatile and active in school activities and scholarship. Joe Weaver has the responsibility of President and he is ably assisted by Vice-President Phyllis Kramb. To Peggy Jackson goes the job of Secretary. Joanne Kuohn is watch dog of the Treasury, and Clare Amundson sells War Bonds. Joanne is also our representative on the Pot O ' Gold. Another who is familiar with the smell of printer ' s ink is our Prism representative, Emmajean Struble, assisted by Jeanne Haverstock. Speaking -of struggling reporters, Nancy Lowry is one of the faculty editors of the Pot O ' Gold and is also our Student Council Representative. To round out our officers, Barbara Renn is Girls ' Ath- letic Representative while Boys ' Athletics is ably handled by Chuck Cowles. School clubs occupy the spare time of quite a few. Sorrelles, Curia, Sub Debs, G. A. S., Hi-Y, Civil Air Patrol, and Drama Club are all represented. Phyllis Kramb holds chief executive position in the Drama Club. Joan Kouhn spends her time prac- tising these peppy cheers as cheerleader. Scholar- ship is not lost however. Peggy Jackson, Joanne Kuohn, Nancy Lowry and Jack Pflager are 325 ' s Honor Roll representatives. And speaking of activities - - the greatest in the world - we have two stars in the services — Bob Waters and Maurice Green. Fourth down and coming up with one year to go. We are going to try for a touchdown. 80 GERTRUDE LEGRON — ROOM 161 Row 1, Charlene Kirchner, Elaine Sorgenfrei, Marjorie Turner, Doris Aberling, Mary Jane Seybold, Gloria Harvey, Nor- ma Rowe, Catherine Heywood, Arlene Leonard, Iris Aubry, Joanne Allum, Lucille DeNies.

Row 3, Bob Daugherty, Ray Witt, Bill Brock, Edward Bossier, Dale Landry, Art At- kinson, Robert Bank. We feel like the nomads of DeVilbiss. Our home- room has shifted during our three years from Mr. Archambo to Miss Lukens and now to Mrs. Legron. The guiding lights chosen for the year 1944-45 were Dale Landry, President; and Mary Jane Sey- bold, Secretary-Treasurer. Barbara Moan doubled as Prism Solicitor and War Stamp salesman. Elaine Sorgenfrei and Norma Rowe represented us for the Pot O ' Gold while Junior Executive affairs were han- dled by Pat Monaghan. Our representatives in radio work are Iris Aubry, Bill Brock, and Arthur Atkinson, members of Mrs. Whaley ' s radio production class. Art Atkinson and Mary Jane Seybold brought our class close to the top in the annual Subscription drive. Junior activities were handled by Art At- kinson, Plays; Barbara Moan, Ticket Committee; Bill Brock, Lyceum; and Pat Monaghan, Junior- Senior Farewell. Charlene Kirchner and Robert Bank withdrew to join the business world. We know that Dale Lan- dry, our President, who jumped the gun and en- listed in the Navy in January, will do his bit for Uncle Sam. During our trek we have gained and lost several classmates. There is, however, one whom we have lost and whose place cannot be filled. That person was Walter Abbenzeller who lost his life after par- ticipating in Athletic competition in order that the name of DeVilbiss might become even more impor- tant. 81 RAYMOND LOWRY — ROOM 217 Row 1, Beatrice Kiker, Marianne Sanders, Delores Malko, Barbara Smith, Pat Hinde, Jeanne Larson, Virginia McDole, Nancy Dowling, Marian Hunt, Phyllis Wood, Marilyn Meade, Wanda Carr Row 2, Dick Fowler, Jerry Mellor, Paul Smith, Peggy Nauts, Marge Pollock, Nancy Myers, Bonnie Deardorff, Mary Ann Croke, Herb Steele, Dan Skelley, Cecil Stick- ney, Jr. Row 3, John Schaefer, Jim Morrison, Don Jorris, Dick Pohlad, Bill Steffins, Ned Reidel, Bob Vick, Edward Stebbins. 1 Fed and full after our cafeteria stay, we mount the stairs to room 217 to spend a pleasant half-hour in homeroom. Several new faces have been seen in Mr. Lowry ' s homeroom since last year. Marjorie Pollock desert- ed Scott for our fair school. Jim Morrison left West Virginia for cold Toledo. Dan Skelley switch- ed from Central, and Joan MacBrogan came to us from Lima Central. Presiding officer of this homeroom is Dick Fowler. Marianne Sanders serves as Vice President and Bet- ty Lou Ying Ling handles the money. Bea Kiker, of majorette fame, has the job of secretary. Wanda Carr is Red Cross representative while John Schaefer sells the War Bonds and Stamps. Marilyn Cannon takes our Pot O ' Gold subscriptions. Jerry Mellor heads our intramural basketball team. Helping make the scores are John Schaefer, Jim Morrison, Dick Fowler, Cecil Stickney, Herb Steele, Bill Steffens, and Paul Smith. Some people persist in studying during homeroom period and see where it gets them ! Nancy Myers, |ohn Schaefer, and Marianne Sanders are consistent members of the Honor Roll. Two members of 217 are on representative commit- tees of the junior class; Peggy Nauts is a member of the class play committee; Paul Smith sits with the Junior-Senior Farewell. Thus it can be seen that our homeroom activities add an indispensable part to the school life of DeVilbiss. 82 EVA SAMSEN— ROOM 201 Ah ! Memories of Miss Samsen ' s Junior homeroom. When I close my eyes I can still see Gurdon Tarbox presiding while Jim Charvat represented us at Stu- dent Council meetings. I can still hear Doris Split- gerber hawking Pot O ' Gold subscriptions. I can still see the Honor Roll with names like Carol Eich- m.in. Ginny Grocott, Loisann Levy, Colleen Sweeny, Ruth Kane, and Gurdon Tarbox. I remember Jo- anne Ahlfor ' s irresistible dimples and Betty Gal- lagher ' s Navy letters. I can still recall Merrijo Leabka and Mary Jo Feak, of the horsy set and still see those big orange D ' s sported by Helen Wet- night, Joan Rahla, Ginny Grocott and Ruth Kane. I wonder if Gerald Meredith is in the Navy and if Ralph Davidson and Lauren Drummond liked Whit- mer and Robinson Junior High better than DeVil- biss. I remember Cheerleader Paul Britton and Dan Draheim and Dick Warrick of the Lightweight Football Squad. I remember when Michael Bell came from Philadelphia and how Marilyn Carpenter planned trips to Oak Harbor. Anna Lee Blackstone and Pat Lauffer were on Hall Patrol and Vernon Fear was in the Band. Seems to me the Spanish Club had members like Carol Dielman, Colleen Sweeney, and Carol Eich- man while Sub-Debs claimed Ruth Kane, Margaret Cole and Pat Potter. Dramatics interested Mary Katherine Mowry and Pot O ' Gold used Loisann Levey on the Art Staff. Yes, those were the good old days.

Any War Stamps today? In the corner sit Jack Bryan, President, and Bob Brown, Vice-President, intent upon their algebra homework. Alfred Kane, Secretary, lends an at- tentive ear to absorb the overheard bits of conversa- tion. Bob Brown, and Alfred Kane, who holds a trophy for being the most valuable man on the football team, stop to talk football terms with Bob Kennedy. Now Marilyn Kohn comes in with an armfull of Prisms, and the mad rush is on ! Carol Johnson and Dorothy Ellis are trying in vain to get the attention An active member of the class, Colleen Spencer, heads the West Toledo Canteen Committee. Some other thoughtful person has started a Round-Robin letter to Bob Tanner, former student, now our serv- iceman in the United States Navy. Activities for the welfare of the community and school are taken care of by John Rightmyer, Stu- dent Council Representative, and Maryse Kelley, Red Cross Representative. Things have quieted down somewhat and the class settles down to reading their Prisms. Peace reigns — then — oh-oh — there goes that bell again ! Trudge to fifth hour now ! Row 1.

Herb Gill heads the class officers with Brian Ferries assisting him as Vice-President. Joan Bilkovsky handles minutes and money as Secretary- Treasurer. Rose Reuss attends Student Council meetings while Raymond Burgess goes to Red Cross sessions. Joyce Gray sells Prisms and Donna Biehl- er takes subscriptions for Pot O ' Gold. Betty Heu- penbecker takes the orders for War Bonds and Stamps. Some of the students of Mrs. Brand ' s former home- room have joined us this year. They wish to salute a former classmate of theirs. He is Seaman Sec- ond Class Tom Molett who was killed on Leyte, October 24, 1944. He was one of the crew of the U. S. S. Somona. During the Sixth War Loan we bought $625 in Bonds. Jane King was the outstanding bond buyer during the drive aided by Donna Biehler, Joan Bil- kovsky, and Rita Puczynski. A double threat in Athletics is our own Vice-Presi- dent Brian Ferries. Brian is a member of the Var- sity football and basketball teams. Our service flag has two stars, one of which is for Bob Waters, who is in the Navy at Sampson, New York. The other is for another Navy boy, Stanley Fisher, who was in our homeroom in his freshman year. Honoring the Honor Roll are Joan Bilkovsky, Ro- berta Smith, Raymond Burgess, and Bob Rupli.

The officers whom the class selected have proven their ability. They are: President, Paul De Witt; Secretary-Treasurer, Jim Rosin; Red Cross Representative, Betty Routsong; Prism Solicitor, Jean Decker; Pot O ' Gold Solicitor, Jackie Bode; and Student Council Representative, Janice Nauts. The class is proud of its members on the Basketball team: John Zingg, Dick McFarland, Bob Archer, Paul DeWitt, Don Mallett and Gene Smith. We ap- preciate the fine job they have done. The students from this room who have continuous- ly been outstanding in their grades deserve a pat on the back too. Margy Stover, Sam Mulopulos, Jean Decker, Jim Rosin, and Sue Scott are the brainy Honor Roll scholars. This room has members who hold offices in the various outside clubs: Margy Stover, President of the Junior Sorelles; Janice Nauts, Secretary of the Junior Friendship; and Sam Mulopulos, President of the Chess Club. The rest of the class members are active in these clubs and in the Spanish Club, Hi-Y, Girls ' Athletic Society, Latin Club, and John Zingg is in the Varsity D Club. This homeroom is sorry to announce that it lost two prominent members to the Navy this year, John Zingg and John Stecker. Your homeroom misses you, boys, and wishes you all the luck in the world.

Behind the closed door of room l O, many execu- tives are busy at work. The firm of Williams, Mas- ters Co. is presided over by John K. Williams with the capable aid of William S. Masters, as Vice- President. The private secretary Sue Jaggers oblig- ingly records all business transactions while Florence Beran takes care of the financial end of the business. Miss Van Noorden heads the Board of Directors which consists of Bob Chapman, who represents our firm at the Student Council; Margaret Aubrey. who collects funds for the Junior Red Cross; Carol Bancroft, who heads the Distribution Department of the Prism; Pat Etters, who heads our firm ' s Sub- scription Department of the Pot O ' Gold, and Jerry LeRoy a representative of the Treasury Department, who sells war stamps and bonds. Due to Jerry ' s work, each week many of our office workers invest a bit of their salaries in Bonds and Stamps. Margaret Aubrey, Audrey Barnes, Florence Beran, Bob Chap- man, Betty Dolgin, Pat Etters, Connie Netter, and Eleanor Stone are some of Jerry ' s best customers. Executives who are outstanding in scholastics are: Bob Chapman, Pat Etters, Richard Holscher, Sue Jaggers, John Kaiser, Connie Netter, Shelda Ryburn, and John Williams. The success of the J-Hop and Junior-Senior Farewell Dance depended largely upon planning by Shelda Ryburn and Paul Rupp. We, of the firm Williams, Masters Co., hope to end the fiscal year of 1945 as successfully as we be°an it in 1944. 87 junior (committees A B 1 Junior-Senior Farewell 2.

Selma Liebes, James Gibbs, Jack Havius, Bill Lee, and Don Lichtenwald joined our daily get-to-gethers. The lure of sunny Cali- fornia proved irresistible for two of our members however, and Bob Utter and Fred Waldo headed West after school started. Early in the year we chose our group leaders and the job of President fell to Dick Shannon. The girl with, the notebook and pencil is Joan Abel (Able?) who not only takes the minutes but sells Pot O ' Gold subscriptions on the side. Another lady leading a double life is Marilyn Woessner who holds two jobs, War Stamp Solicitor, and Red Cross Representative. Glenda Crosby is our delegate to the Student Council, Jim Crumley represents us in boys ' athletics while Marilyn Abrahamson holds the same position for the girls. We in 32 3 are probably the quietest homeroom on record. Those guilty of talking out of turn are stood up before the class as an example by Pop Blanchard. This results in less talking and more note passing. In spite of Mr. Blanchard ' s efforts only six of our class members reached the Honor Roll. The In- telligentsia includes Marilyn Abrahamson, Lilian Bums, Glenda Crosby, Marilyn Woessner, Esther Kucharski, and Don Schlatter. We do think, though, that by next year will improve this record — at least we hope to. Row 1, Peggy Schaefer, Phyllis Jordan, Lilian Burns, Ruth Ann Kirkindall. Lorna Crist, Jean Hood.

That statement is probably true but it most certainly doesn ' t keep our room, 263, from being one of the finest sopho- more homerooms in DeVilbiss under the compe- tent guidance of Mrs. Brand. Osterman, (he may be small but he can surely haunt us with those pep talks) ; Red Cross Representa- tive, Joyce Brown; P.T.A. Representative, Lois Schirr; and our Pot O ' Gold Solicitor, Romaine Her- man. We are proud to rank second in the Red Cross contributors. As representatives to the various activities of De- Vilbiss, we chose these students who we thought were best qualified for the positions. As a mem- ber of the Student Council, we have Ray Cannon who we think has served us faithfully. Combined Secretary and Treasurer for our room is Herbert Baker, preceded by Harry Hammond, who recently has withdrawn from T.A.D. Boys ' Athletics, Dan Noyes; Girls ' Athletics, Marilyn Woodgate; War Stamp Solicitor; Sharon Cruey; Prism Solicitor, Bill Our Honor Roll members are: William Barkan, Barbara Coble, Tom Conser, who is also secretary of the Sophomore Class; Ann Girkins, Harry Ham- mond, Ruth Hansen, Dan Noyes, Bill Osterman, Richard Potter, Marilyn Woodgate.

We are the Sophs of one-sixteen For two years now — here we ' ve been We work and strive for all that ' s right And stay up with homework every night ! Hello there! We have just climbed up another step on the ladder and we are continuing to make prog- ress. Here are a few lines to let you know what the upper of the lower classmen are doing. Three of us have been on the honor roll all dur- ing the Freshman year and this year. We are Jane Laures, Mary Vosburgh, and Virginia Linker. Oth- ers on the Honor Roll this year are Allen Adler, Nila Lockrey, Jim Vernor, Delores Dunning, Doris Ann Bowen, Joan Riser, and Robert Young. Early in the year the class organized with the fol- lowing officers: President, Allen Adler; Vice-Presi- dent, Sue Maddock; Secretary, Dolores Dunning; Treasurer, Tom Sawyer. Doris Ann Bowen is our Red Cross representative and Jane Drews and Ray Hickerson are taking care of the War Stamp sales. Jack Evans, our Prism representative, has almost always reached 100 ' , ' in sales. Virginia Linker brings us reports of the Student Council activities. We have many hobbies ranging from all kinds of scrapbooks and collections to girls. Many of us have musical talent. Several with outstanding talent are Neil Stock, who has been a member of the band, and Gordon Gilbert, who improvises on the piano, furnishing us with enjoyable entertainment. Everyone of us is proud as we can be to call De- Vilbiss High School ours and to plan on graduating in the class of ' 47. 93 WAYNE CRUEY — ROOM 210 Row 1, Bob Loshbough, Marilyn Steele, Jane Burmeister, Betty Hepfinger, Joyce Jackson, Ann Barger, Norma Sheets, Kath- erine Hoyt, Merilyn Holmes.

We are members of homeroom 210 and although at times a Chemistry class room is not the most pleasant place to be, we think we have a pretty good group. But — let us give you a few facts and let you judge for yourselves. Our class officers are: President, John Weber; Vice-President, Joyce Jackson; Secretary, Jayne Bur- meister; and Treasurer, Dave Jefferys. We have elected Eleanor Leiner as Red Cross Representative, and Kathy Hoyt as War Stamp Solicitor. Sally Koepp distributes the Prism, and Joyce Jackson sees to subscriptions for the Pot O ' Gold. Here are our Honor Roll students so bring out the red carpet. Introducing Porter McDonald, Sally Koepp, Jayne Burmeister, and Bob Bretherton. While we ' re handing out the honors, a big round of applause should go to Al Leake who is our out- standing War Bond purchaser. Other achievements of our homeroom and its in- dividual members are numerous. The winners of school contests were Dave Jefferys who sold the most magazine subscriptions in the campaign this fall, and Porter McDonnell who had his expenses paid to Columbus to see the Ohio-Michigan football game. Our homeroom in general sold the most sub- scriptions in the school and our reward was a trip downtown on school time to see the movie of our choice. Now, wouldn ' t you like to join us? We have lots of fun ! 94 MARY FISCHER — ROOM 208 ir ' r-iirrtriatiitiii Row 1, Betty Ann McGannon, Joanne Schwambeck, Jane Heck, Donna Kirkman, Adeline Katafiasz, Marilyn Sutton, Marilyn Pe ' iis, Thelma Romanoff, Nancy Wagers, Pat Davis, Donna Crocker, Fadwa Haney, Joan Rutan, Ruth Palluch.

All business matters are taken care of by our capable officers: President, Bill Kaser; Vice President, Al- len Lang; Secretary, Donna Crocker; and Treasurer, Donald Simons. One of our important officers is Student Council Representative Bill Teaderman. During homeroom, we have two girls, Marilyn Sutton, War Stamp solicitor and Marilyn Pettis, Pot O ' Gold Solicitor, skitting around the room draining everyone ' s bank roll. Also as energetic workers we have Pat Davis, Red Cross Represen- tative; Ruth Polluch, Prism Solicitor; Adeline Kata- fiasz, Girls Athletic Representative; and Richard Runion, Boys ' Athletic Representative. While others play checkers we have these studious members who made the honor roll: Marilyn Pettis, Marilyn Sutton, Bill Waser, Nancy Wagers and Betty McGannon. Our patriotic members who bought War Bonds in the Sixth War Loan and buy stamps regularly are: Bill Teaderman, Marilyn Sutton, Jane Heck, Bill Kaser, George Brandt, Eddy Markwood, Fadwa Haney, Thelma Romanoff, Joan Schwanbek, Nancy Wagers and Kenneth Bowers. We are especially proud to have the president of the Sophomore Friendship Club, Fadwa Haney, in our midst, who also sells Bonds and War Stamps in the main lobby.

David Epstein, War Bond and Stamp Solici- tor, proved his mettle as a salesman by selling $1,000 worth of war bonds. Joan Sutton set the campaign rolling when she purchased $300 in bonds on the first day. Jane Diehl represents homeroom 113 on the Stu- dent Council in a really capable and efficient man- ner. Our Red Cross Representative, Lou Stansbury, was a candidate last fall for the office of Sophomore Class Treasurer. President of this august body is Dick McDowell, and George Valassis is his first assistant. All class activities are faithfullly inscribed by Nancy Neale while Bill Dombrowski handles financial matters. Selma Goerlich is a combination paper boy and reporter to the Prism from 113. She sells the pa- pers, collects the money, and keeps the editors abreast of events in our sector. Mary Erler is our Pot O ' Gold representative. Fourteen of the students in this room were on the honor roll the first semester.

By this we mean joining in on all the fun that is awaiting us at the open doors of DeVilbiss. All members of the class went out for the maga- zine campaign. Anyway, that ' s the story we got from each and every member. At the end of the drive we had collected $156.50. We elected Jay Wright, President, to head our group; Don Iagulli, Vice-President; Dick Ruehlin, Secretary; and Marilyn Bntton, Treasurer. We elect- ed Bill Brewer as Student Council Representative; Phyllis Koder, Red Cross Representative; and Jay Wright as our Prism Solicitor. James Cherry rep- resents us for the Pot O ' Gold. Thanks to Tom Gorton, Lee Throne, Donna Marlin, Marilyn McLain, Jean Pfund, John Brenner and Marcella Keller the War Bond Campaign was a success in our room. At the end of the drive we found we had purchased twelve bonds. We filled two Red Cross Christmas boxes for the children in Europe, but up to the present time we haven ' t heard just where or to whom they went. Also we did our bit and joined the Red Cross. From the thoughtfulness of Miss Johnson and her homeroom we enjoyed a Christmas party in our homeroom. We served ice cream and cookies, but most important of all we made new acquaintances. Even with all these activities, we haven ' t neglected our studies; and, as time goes on, we hope to have a larger percentage of honor students.

Marian Todd has the double responsibility of Secretary and Treas- urer. Prism sales are handled by Marilyn Miller. Faith Buttner is the girl to see for Pot O ' Gold subscriptions. Bob Johnson looks after our interests in the Student Council and Red Cross work is handled by Fred Schultz. Our boys are going in for sports this year. The light- weight football team claims Jim Krupp. Dave Davis plays lightweight basketball. John Stoffel is a mem- ber of the Cross Country Team. Our intra-mural basketball team is composed of Charles Green, Bob Johnson, Jack Henry, Walter Lindsey, John Stoffel, Manning Spooner, Jim Krupp, and Dick Speer. Brawn is not the only thing found in 253. Brain is also a part of school life. Our Honor Roll includes Fred Schultz, Bob Johnson, John Stoffel and Jean Polick. Though sorry to lose ten homeroom members, we are pleased with the additions of Pat Rowen, Eugene Fuller, Alan Scholz, Marilyn Foust, Mark Vance, and Dick Speer. Though members may come and go during the next two years we feel that we will still keep the basic spirit that makes 253 such a fine homeroom.

The atmosphere of aeronautics is found every third hour in Miss Geraldine Larkin ' s sophomore home- room, with Bob Terry piloting, assisted by Phillip Grover, Vice President; Marilyn Warner, Secretary; Bob Rosencranz, Treasurer; and Jane- Laibe, Ser- geant-at-arms. Under models of planes we carry on a number of activities. Every day we find Marilyn Warner collect- ing money for War Stamps. Jackie Livi keeps us in- formed on Red Cross and June Hudson on Student Council Activities. A box was donated to the Red Cross and some of the girls made little stuffed animals. We had a total of ninety-three dollars in the magazine drive and over one hundred dollars in War Bonds. In the sports field, our room contributed to the Sophomore Intramurals with a basketball team led by tall and lanky Ray Milne, assisted by Ray Law- niczak and Buddy Boyd, forwards; Dick Steinman and Frank Wilson, guards; and Bob Rosencranz, substitute. Our room is looking forward to seeing to some of them playing on the varsity next year. The Honor Roll for the first quarter included the names of LaDonna Eller, Barbara Moon, Marilyn Warner, Elaine Wilkinson, Jim Huffer, Barbara Miller, Bob Terry and Jack Hazle. These people win recognition while the rest struggle on. Committees throughout the next year were led by Jack Hazle for the Prism; June Hudson, the P.T.A.; and Ruth Recknagel, the Pot O ' Gold.

Our homeroom has been confronted with the mis- fortune of Miss Larkin ' s leaving her position as a teacher here at DeVilbiss in order to have more time to further her practice of law. In her absence Miss Gerding has graciously taken over the task of acting as homeroom adviser to our orphaned brood. The above pictures show the guiding lights of our homeroom ' s activities ; however two of the students, Don Johnston and Selma Liebus, have withdrawn from the group. Our Intramural Basketball Team has done very well this year for we have won four games and lost only one so far. We have high hopes of winning the re- maining matches of the season. As for individual accomplishments, Bob Terry, our president, has spent many hours in flying out at the Franklin Airport. He has already received his pilot ' s license and hopes that some day his hobby may lead to a career in Aviation. We wish you lots of luck and success, Bob. Jim Huffer, who was our president last year, has turned out some mighty fine prints for the Pot O ' Gold with his famous camera and darkroom. The pictures on this page are just a few examples of his work; he has submitted some of his shots in many contests in photography throughout the country. Jim also adds to his accomplishments, the playing of three musical instruments: the clarinet, the saxo- phone, and the piano. It is our hope that in the next two years remaining to us, our homeroom group may find as much pleas- ure in working and playing together as we have in the past. 103 BLANCHE LUTHER — ROOM 226 Row 1, Beverly Jo Williams, Mary Lou Van Buren, Margaret Richerd, Mane Smith, Pat Ellis, Luella Mann, Mary Marihugh, Mildred Hayele, Barbara Ruhr, Phyllis Tuttie, Shirley Sheppard, Lois Eriksen, Jamie Lou Fearing.

Phil Neitzel is our capable President, Pat Ellis acts as Vice-President, while Howard Frank and Bob Feltus are Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. and Beverly Jo Williams is the active chairman of that committee. Luella Mann was in charge of the P.T.A. member- ship drive in which we have a 100% enrollment. On the social committee are Lois Erickson, Margar- et Rickerd, Marie Smith and Bob Feltus. We have twenty-six stars in our window which show we have bought that many bonds. A lot of credit goes to Barbara Christen who purchased ten of these bonds. Another one of our projects for the war effort is U.S.O. work. Barbara Kerr is chairman, with Shirley Sheppard, Beverly Jo Williams, and Phyllis Tuttie assisting. We also collect tax stamps — $500 worth to date, We have had a weiner roast out at Ottawa Park and a sleigh ride party besides, so you can see we are quite active socially. Of course, we are justifiably proud of our ten Honor Roll students; we hope to add more names next year.

Heading the class was Dick Hess, President; John Reason had the Vice President ' s job and Vernell Salter was Secretary. Financial matters were handled by Gordon Bricker. Our contributions to the Red Cross were taken care of by Pat Brown and we put our cash in khaki un- der the direction of Gordon Bricker, War Stamp Chairman. Virginia Kitzman sold Prisms while Duane Hall took Pot O ' Gold subscriptions. The honors of the Honor Roll were heaped on Pat Brown, Betty Jo Chilcote, Iva Rothlisberger, John Dunseith, Duane Hall, and Doug Mooney. Our chests puff slightly as we mention Larry An- drews, our Student Council Representative. Larry as President of the Sophomore Class. As if that weren ' t enough, he was also on the Light Weight Basketball Team. Another athlete was Duane Hall, a member of both the Cross Country and Track teams. Outside interests are brought out in homeroom period. It seems that Donald Patterson toots a tuba, while Dick Burns blows a harmonica. Betty Jo Chil- cote is an accomplished pianist. Star gazing is a hobby of Bob Finch, the astrological expert. Art work appeals to Carmen Kniess. Engineering in South America interests Duane Hall, Spanish stu- dent. Moving seems to be the favorite pastime of Galen Vogelsang for he attended seven different high schools before coming to DeVilbiss. The many and varied interests of this group practi- cally assures it a place of leadership in the junior Class. Row 1.

Maybe Lizzy Arndt had something to do with it when she bought a thousand dollar bond. We were represented by ten students on the honor roll this year. We hope to add to it soon. Maxine Kroman has withdrawn from our home- room and gone back to Chicago. At the begin- ning of this year we lost twelve of our former members and received twelve new ones. We sometimes find it hard to apply ourselves during our half hour, especially during Miss Stoll ' s ab- sences. We ' d be in the cooking room too, Miss Stoll, if we had access to a little food.

The officers of Mrs. Terhell ' s Sophomore home- room are Jim Perry, President; Maryanne Renshaw, Secretary and Treasurer; John Laird, Prism repre- sentative; Maryanne Renshaw, War Stamp solicitor; Marshall Spaulding, Pot O ' Gold representative; Rosita Erausquin, Red Cross representative. Honor roll members are Jeanne Bradner, John Laird, Don Messersmith, Don Shreffler and Jane Thurs- ton. The G.A.S. is represented by Mary Lou Hayne, Doris Robertson, and Jane Thurston. At Christmas we collected money and filled a Red Cross box. Dur- ing the Sixth War Loan drive we bought two hun- dred and seventy-five dollars worth of War Bonds. Maryanne Renshaw and Jim Perry were the best salesmen in the homeroom during the magazine drive. On the boys ' basketball team are Don Shreffler, Captain ; Jim Perry, Don Messersmith, Neal Os- norwitz, |ohn Laird, Marshall Spaulding, Edwin Johnson and Dick Gilbert.

Minutekeeper extraordinary is Pat Binding, our sec- retary. The man who counts the money is Treas- urer Charles Waidelich. Keeping us posted on Student Council news is our representative, Kenneth Cole. Betty Northrup of the Pot O ' Gold and Susan Thurston of the Prism see to it that we subscribe to their respective pub- lications.

Bill Gardner, Bob Hartley, Kenneth Cole, Don Christlieb, Allan Brogan, Bill Butler and Burton Ansted make up the team. We have an interest in the light weight football team since two of its members, Charles Waidelich and Allan Brogan, are members of our homeroom.

Emery greeted him at the door. This began his basic training as a student of T. A. De- Vilbiss High School. After learning to find his way in the long corridors he got acquainted with his fellow homeroom mem- bers and helped to elect the officers. George Rupp became the President, Ronald Kinney was elected Secretary, and Bill Fry was chosen to handle the money. Our ever-bolder freshman bought Prisms from Dick Frazure, paid his Pot O ' Gold subscrip- tion to Ronald Kinney, and put his cash in khaki through Betty Randolph. We gave to the Red Cross in the person of Peggy Doerter. Even staying up late to burn the midnight oil didn ' t help our young friend. He just didn ' t quite make the honor roll. However, his more studious class- mates like Mary Lou Bates, Peggy Doerter, Jaclyn Dohm, Ronald Kinney, Marilyn Knorr, Elizabeth Randolph, Thurayne Thomas and Robert Zweigle made the grade. Came the magazine drive and our little freshman scurried around trying desperately to sell subscrip- tions. But try as he would, he couldn ' t beat Bob Zweigle, who won a twenty-five dollar War Bond. When the Freshman Basketball team was started, our industrious freshman tried and tried but he wasn ' t quite as good as George Rupp, who made the team. He didn ' t even get a place on the home- room team. Being merely a boy, he couldn ' t share honors with Bev Kerr, Thurayne Thomas, or Jackie Dohm, of- ficers of the Freshmen Literary Society. Poor little freshman! But wait, here ' s a cheering thought. Next year he ' ll be a sophomore!

Though a mite green at first the members soon became used to the schedule of classes, rushed lunches, football games and feature movies. After the first flurry of getting settled was over and they became better acquainted, they set about to choose class officers. Nicholas Huffer became presi- dent, Richard Erausquin assisted as vice president, and Phyllis Heine was chosen secretary, Gloria Rank was put in office as treasurer. Discovering that activities around school needed representatives they got their heads together and chose Else Carl to represent the Red Cross, Joanne Morgan to sell Prisms, John Gist to take orders for War Stamps, and Bonnie Forrest to represent the Pot O ' Gold. 119 reached the final ballot in the Freshman Class elections with two candidates but unfortunately was not able to win a place on the roster of officers. However, if at first you don ' t succeed, etc. Success did attain some of our efforts. All that studying obtained places on the Honor Roll for Shirley Keats, Thomas Cramer, Nancy Prottengeier, Richard Wittmann, Virginia Delo, Mary Satre, Richard Erausquin, Phyllis Heine, Janie Allberg, William Graumlich, Nancy Wittman and Iris Keller. And so it goes. Give them three more years at DeVilbiss and they ' ll be sure to come out on top. 115 VIRGINIA FRANCIS — ROOM 107 Row 1, Lila Lavine, Catherine Photns, Nancy Osgood, Norma Koester, Marilyn Fingerhut, Sally Crumley.

Although slightly dismayed to find ourselves among the skeletons of Mrs. Virginia Francis ' room, we have managed to ignore our flesh less friends and proceed to take our place in the DeVilbiss family. For officers to lead our homeroom group we have chosen Russell Terry, President; Yvonne Hunter, Vice-President; Marilyn Hartman, Secretary; and John Kelentic, Treasurer. Representatives were se- lected for various activities. Donald Anderson is Red Cross Representative, John Kelentic is War Stamp Solicitor, and Harold DeMun represents us in Student Council. Prism sales are under the care of Nancy Osgood, while James McFarland sells the Pot O ' Gold. P.T.A. memberships were taken care of by Lila Lavine. We got right into the groove here at DeVilbiss by coming out second highest in the Magazine Drive. We point with pride to Marilyn Hartman who took the prize as highest girl salesman. Our bond and stamp buying was not interrupted, however. We even contributed the Freshman campaign manager, Sally Crumley. Filling two Red Cross boxes for children of foreign countries added to our total of good works for the year. Starting right out in school organizations, we are represented in the G.A.S., the Hi-Y, and the Freshman Literary Society. We are looking for- ward to even more active participation in extra-cur- ricular activities. Keeping up our scholastic standard is easy with eleven people on the honor roll. We hope there will be even more from 107 who will claim that distinction. We hope that our remaining years at DeVilbiss will be just as successful as our first. 116 MILDRED JOHNSTON — ROOM 327 ' ' : - k:: - ; -rr -• -■- Row 1, Virginia Farber, Lois Welker, Rita Teall, Jane Gerliart, Thelma Beasan, Joanne Imholt, Virginia Orthwein, Lois Schmidt, Joanne Bolander, Mary Ann Fleischman, Janice Phillip, Sally Carter, Doris Porter.

Joann Brandt. Up under the eaves among the paint pots of 327, you ' ll find a homeroom group with plenty on the ball. One proof of this is the presence of the Freshman Class Treasurer, Walter Harrison. Handling the President ' s job is Paul Helm. Mary Ann Fleischman is Vice-President, Joan Bolander is Secretary, and Sally Wonders serves as Treas- urer. Walter Harrison represents us at Student Council meetings. Under the direction of Jim Yobst we have more than filled our quota on appeals made by the Red Cross. Thelma Beason has been our Pot O ' Gold representative and Joanne Imholt has taken care of our War Bond and Stamp sales. Our 100% Prism solicitor is Virginia Orthwein. An honor roll record of ten students shows that some people must use homeroom for studying. Jim Yobst, Marilyn Miller, Walter Harrison, Virginia Orthwein, Mary Ann Fleischman, |anice Phillips, Joan Bolander, Jane Gerhardt, Nancy Schorling, and Marian Vine are .the industrious members of the group. We are all interested in DeVilbiss and school life and belong to at least one club or more. The G.A.S. claims a large part of the girls. Our inter- est in athletics is evident through our intra-mural basketball team, which had a very successful sea- son. We all agree that Miss Johnston has done more than her duty. With her help we have made a good start as DeVilbiss Freshmen. 117 LUCILLE KERLIN — ROOM 215 Row 1, Doris Bremer, Beulahjean Markhus, Ruth Crockett, Carol Copelin, Ruth Ehret, Grace Yarnell, Barbara Trevena, Mary Jean Kane, Bonnie Thrailkill, Pat Snody, Joan Crawford, Nancy Stalker, Marilyn Miller.

We feel that our room has cooperated 100% in all phases of school activity, not forgetting the part we ' ve played in community and national service. The officers of homeroom 215 include Dick Han- ley, President, and Tom Williamson, Vice President. Carol Copelin has taken the place of Mary Jean Kane, our Secretary, who left us after the holidays. A homeroom needs to be represented in many things. Our diplomats are Ruth Crockett, Red Cross Representative, responsible for our 100% membership; Bill Stiegelmeyer, Prism salesman; and Jim Villwock, Student Council Representative and Pot O ' Gold solicitor. The brains of the Honor Roll are Doris Bremer, Nancy Hill, Carol Copelin, Buelahjean Markhus, Virginia Ruse, Nancy Stalker, Ruth Crockett, Bill Hallauer, Bill Stiegelmeyer, and Jim Villwock. We are proud of our participation in the Maga- zine Drive. Though we did not come out on top we think we made quite a showing with receipts to- taling over $400. Our part in the Sixth War Loan was not small, either. Over $300 worth of Bonds and Stamps were purchased including the $93 in pennies brought in by Dick Crown. With Miss Kerlin ' s interest and guidance we of homeroom 215 expect to make a name for our- selves throughout DeVilbiss. 118 HARRIET KIMBLE — ROOM 254 There were thirty-eight bewildered but enthusiastic Freshmen who entered Room 254 last September. We gasped in amazement at the long, crowded cor- ridors where we were pushed around unceremoni- ously. Nevertheless, at the end of a strenuous day we had all managed to find our far distant class rooms. In a short time we began to get acquainted and early in the semester we elected our homeroom of- ficers: President, Bill Zahn; Vice President, Don Opperman; Secretary, Jo Ann Kelley; Treasurer, Bill Hubbarth. The following were chosen to rep- resent us in various activities: Student Council, Rodger Wadsworth; Red Cross, Dorothy Fash; Pot O ' Gold Solicitor, Bill Hubbarth; War Stamps and Bond Solicitors, Beryl Beckwith and Nancy Anne Pence; Prism, Jacqueline Schouten and Parent Teachers Association, Yvette Caldwell. Eleven of our group were on the Freshman Honor Roll: Ken- neth Atkinson, Yvette Caldwell, Joan Closs, Wil- liam Filsinger, Bill Hubbarth, Jean Masters, Marilyn Moen, Don Opperman, Sonja Putz, Rodger Wads- worth, and Bill Zawodni made up the Roll. Our class is represented in various activities includ- ing Hi-Y Club, G.A.S., Dramatic Club, Band, Or- chestra and D Club. At our Christmas party we enjoyed singing carols under the leadership of several girls. We discov- ered that an unusual number of our boys sing ex- ceptionally well. We have thoroughly enjoyed our first year at De- Vilbiss. Meanwhile, we are looking forward to the day when we can watch the amazed freshmen from our heights as upperclassmen.

Why, Miss Amy Kimpton ' s, of course! With Marian Van Gorder, Marilyn Weiker, Juanita Dip- man, Leslie Noaker, Jacqueline Haney, Hiett Ward, Ben Davis, Kathy Meeker, Marian Ruegge, and Carol James on the Honor Roll, how could it be otherwise ? Bob Drake ably leads the class with the help of Don Dierks, Vice-President, Kathy Meeker jots down the notes but can never find them. Mary Lou David is the grand and honorable custodian of our empty treasury. Marilyn Weiker is our high pressure Prism sales- man. She has sold 100% every time. We are extremely proud of our Benjamin Davis, better known as Ben, who sold $750.00 in War Bonds. Top that if you can ! Bob Webb and Jim Hoebel sell stamps. Our basketball team was gathered by Jim Hoebel and Jim Robertson. Our players are Don Dierks, Ben Davis, Bob Drake, Charles Kanous, Barney Napolski, Tom Marquardt, Jim Boeble, Chuck Sw- yers, Jim Robertson, and Dick Dersch. Besides all this, Kathy Meeker, Mary Lou David, and Carole James work hard on art. Perhaps you have seen Carole James ' cartons in the Prism. Juanita Dipman has the Red Cross in her capable hands. That seems to be all for now about this wonderful homeroom, but watch our progress in our coming years in DeVilbiss. Row 1, Delores Kislin.

It ' s behind the elevator was one helpful senior ' s in- structions. You ' ll find it above the library said a snickering sophomore. After several false starts, and three wrong turns we finally staggered into the right room and came under the benign guidance of Mr. Kingeter. Some organization was needed to send out searching parties, so we elected Terry Cunningham, President; Dice Rice became Vice-President. Mildred Vann took note of all proceedings as Secretary and Shirley Boor guarded the treasury. kept notified. Brent Biggs brought in the Prism and Ruth Brogham made our contact with the Pot O ' Gold. Charles Casey helped us insure our future security with War Stamp purchases. Isolation must be good for the mind. Or maybe it was studying that did it. At any rate, our honor roll has quite a collection of names. Charles Casey, Jane Lindsay, Brunny Messenger, Jo Anne Michelson, Hazel Murphy, Charles Nauts, Pauline Truman, and Gloria Fish make up our Brain Trust. At least one of us gets around. Mary Lou McGan- non keeps things hopping as cheerleader at the freshman basketball games. So as not to lose contact with the outside world we elected Brunny Messenger to the Student Coun- cil.

FREDERICA HANSON — ROOM 209 Upon entering DeVilbiss twenty-nine freshmen from eleven different schools found themselves in 162, the homeroom of Mr. Pross, an Industrial Sur- vey teacher. Because of the fact that we were too curious of the equipment in his room, we were given a new homeroom, M-3 and also a new home- room teacher, Mr. Merrill. Under Mr. Merrill ' s directions we elected the fol- lowing officers and representatives: Newell Kest, President; Dorothy Przybylski, Vice-President; Lor- etta Smith, Secretary; Bob Schnieder, Treasurer; Red Cross, Nancy Reister; War Stamps, Junior Baugh; Pot O ' Gold, Bob Schnieder; P.T.A., New- ell Kest; Prism and Student Council and Court, John McWilliam, who is also a member of the Freshman basketball team. After getting used to the routine of our daily school work, we went out for after-school activities. Sue Kipperman, Lucille Pease, and Shirley Liliestedt joined the Girls ' Athletic Society. Reuel Rhinebolt went into the Hi-Y. Mary Morrison became a member of the Dramatic Club while Phil Bruns- kill, Richard Holtfreler, Bob Daughters, Newell Kest, and Reuel Rhinebolt made up the members of the homeroom basketball team. We did not forget importance of studies, how- ever. John McWilliam, Sue Kipperman, Richard Holtfreler, Shirley Liliestedt, and Phil Brunskill represented our room on the Honor Roll. Another change came at the beginning of the second semester. Miss Hanson is now our home- room adviser in 209. Here we hope to stay for the next three years and make a name for ourselves in DeVilbiss history. Row 1.

Of course we are referring to Jim Maher, our own Student Council Representative. Not only work, but also play aids us in becoming better students. A roast was held at Ottawa Park Shelter House early in the fall to help us get ac- quainted. Food and transportation courtesy of our parents. Our own homeroom offices are held by Thomas Lober, President; Nancy Alliman, Vice President; Leslie Gerke, Secretary; and Carolyn Bowers, Treasurer. Margaret Wright takes care of Prism sales and Norma Long is our Pot O ' Gold solici- tor. Joan Koechley sells War Stamps to us every Monday and is doing a fine job. Bob Knapp is our faithful Red Cross Representative and Fritz Lauffer takes care of P.T.A. memberships. The Christmas holiday was well observed in 262. Games and entertainment were provided during homeroom period and the festivities were enjoyed by all. We point with justifiable pride to our contribution to school athletics. Jim Maher is on the Freshman basketball team and Fritz Lauffer plays Varsity football. Who wouldn ' t be proud to be in a homeroom with eleven people on the Honor Roll? Scholastically speaking, we think we ' re good. We wish to express our appreciation to Mrs. Mills for helping us become such a well-rounded group. Here ' s looking to an even brighter future.

Bob Sharpe is attending Scott High and Jean Ed- munds moved to Lancaster, Ohio. We are proud to claim the Vice-President of the Freshman Class, Dick Hewey, as a member of our group. Our homeroom President is Roger Balk, Vice-President is Ray Bersticker, Dick Hewey is Secretary and Marian Hagerty, the song bird, is Treasurer. Roger Balk is also Student Council Rep- resentative. John Matthews takes care of our Red Cross activity, John Lange urges us to buy War Stamps, Kate Emmert is our Pot O ' Gold repre- sentative, and Dick Hewey looks out for our Prism sales. Seventeen of us succeeded in making the Honor Roll and we hope to increase this number in the future. We were credited with $150.00 in the magazine sub- scription drive. Our purchases during the Sixth War Loan amounted to $270.00. We filled two Red Cross Christmas boxes and contributed five dol- lars for our Red Cross membership. Turning to extra-curricular activities, we go in for alphabets as members of the Hi-Y, G.A.S., and C.A.P. We go out for music in the Band, Orches- tra, and Chorus. We are off to a flying start with Mrs. Pasquier as our adviser and we hope to make a name. 124 ALICE PERKINS — ROOM 243 Rou 1, Gladys Haderman, Norma Dotson, Martha Wangrin, Betty Lou Moore, Betty Lou Baldwin, Carol Bowman, Yvonne Martin, Nancy Bell, Arlys Easley, Audrey Contat, Patsy Powers, Dorothy Pethe, Ann Nelson, Sally Watson.

Room 243 was host to two fresh starts, a freshman homeroom and a new teacher, Mrs. Alice Perkins. For our first year at DeVilbiss we of 243 put the boys in the top offices. Marvin Cohen became Presi- dent, Tom Karczewski was elected Vice-President. Gormley Sanderson is our Secretary and Carl Schwamm is Treasurer. Student Council Represen- tative is Arthur Boote and Nancy Bell supervises our Red Cross activities. Martha Wangrin sells War Stamps, while Norma Dotson vends the Prism and Jim Miller solicits for Pot O ' Gold. This may be our first year here, but it certainly isn ' t our last and we have already started a record that will continue through our high school career. We hit the Honor Roll first thing with Ruth Car- son, Ann Nelson, Ruth Launer, Yvonne Martin, Marilyn Hamman, Norma Dotson, and Arthur Boote representing us. The three members of the Freshman Baseball Team from 243 are Tom Kar- czewski, Bob Spencer and Russ Milne. A gay time was had by all at the Christmas party Mrs. Perkins gave for the class, and also at Miss Dickey ' s holiday party in our Everyday Living Class. We have started a scrapbook to record these things and others that will happen in the succeeding three years. We are looking forward to a bright future in DeVilbiss, even with only our one small year to serve as a support. 125 AURELIA QUINN — ROOM 104 Row 1, Julie Bobrick, Betty Lou Benadum, Mary Ann Pollitz, Helen Link, Sally Balsmeyer, Nancy Leasure, Virginia Butler, Marilyn Brubaker, Mariam Hudson, Suzanne Latin, Barbara Kerr, Joyce Roth, Betty Sweebe.

To our credit we have such artists as Joseph Henry, composer and musician, and Jack Schmidlin and Owen Teaderman, magacians. An artist in sales- manship is Nick Demos, who won a prize for a day ' s sales of magazine subscriptions. On the Honor Roll the girls are way out in front Marilyn Brubaker, Shirley Campbell, Mariam Hud- son, Joan Thompson, Suzanne Lattin, Barbara Kerr, Arlyne Stoll, Helen Link, Marie Denman, and Lois Foor nearly overwhelm poor Joe Henry, the only boy. Recent arrivals in 104 are Alonzo Sargent from Riverside, West Virginia, and Lois Foor from Whit- mer. We are determined to keep on with our good start and become one of the best homeroom groups. RUTH LUKENS — ROOM 110 In room 110 you can tell where you stand by where you sit. The seating chart is made out according to grades and manipulating your credits so that you can sit next to your particular friend offers quite a di- version. To lead us in our Freshman activities we have chosen Virginia Varner as President. The Vice- President is Peggy Lukens. Keeping the record of class activity is Conrad Stolzenbach III, Secretary. Money matters are handled by Dick Bishop in his role of Treasurer. Seeing that we are represented in Student Council meetings, is the job of John Luthy. Nancy Williams represents us at Red Cross meetings. When Prism day comes around, Kenneth Atkin is on the job as super-salesman. Anyone wanting a Pot O ' Gold subscription should see Ro- berta Baumberger. Suzanne Boesel takes orders for War Bonds and sees that our cash is put in khaki. As members of DeVilbiss High School we are fully prepared to take part is all school activities. During the Sixth War Loan Drive Suzanne Boesel managed our campaign very successfully, and it was during the magazine drive that John Luthy showed his managing ability. Keep an eye on homeroom 1 1 for, in the near future you may see increased activity among our members as we step into the role of upperclassmen.

Arthur Bollinger is ser- geant-at-arms. Before long special activities began to occupy our time as Donald Rehm urged us to buy War Bonds, Joy McCarrell boosted the P.T.A. mem- bership drive, and Dana Keiser and Richard Moore told us to save our tax stamps. We bought our Prisms from Donna Winterfeld and our Pot O ' Golds from Jean Parkes. Dean Wettstone kept us informed of Student Council activities. We contributed thirteen names to the Honor Roll: Robert Behrens, Mary Bonner, Jean Davis, Vernon Flickinger, Gordon Getz, Joanne Lankenau, Joy Mc- Carrell, Glenna Opperman, Marion Rees, Margie Roperbrook, Anna Lee Smith, Deane Wettstone, and Donna Winterfeld. Let ' s look back and review briefly our accomplish- ments for the year. We joined the G.A.S. and made the Freshman basketball team. We worked in the cafeteria and played in the band. We helped to plan the Spring Dance and formed a basketball team. We had a Christmas party where we played games and sang carols. All in all, we feel we had an active year. We look forward with pleasure to three more years filled with more achievements. Row 1, George Mulopulos, Veron Flickinger, Dean Wettstone, Richard Moore.

Out of thirty-seven names, five are Richard. Of course it makes homeroom period a trifle con- fusing. To help straighten things out we elected class offi- cers to assist our adviser. Betty Wanner took over the President ' s gavel, Leland Moree held office as Vice-President, and Richard Forrester got the dou- ble duty of Secretary-Treasurer. The young lady who goes to Student Council meetings is Marilyn Mersereau. Keeping us up on Red Cross affairs is the job of Ramona Miller. Richard Schumm is our Prism newsboy. War Stamp Solicitor Richard Mc- Allister headed our Sixth War Loan drive. We bought one hundred and twelve dollars worth, with Tim Green and Bud Smith heading the list of pur- chasers. When grade cards were issued and Honor Roll time came around you were pretty sure to find the names of Bud Smith, Marilyn Mersereau, Betty Wanner, Margie Perkins, Melvin Dahlman, Virginia Holsch- er, and Ted Bodenmiller. A cheering addition to our room is Marilyn Merser- eau, one of the peppy cheer leaders in black who keep our throats sore at freshman basketball games. One year at DeVilbiss has proved that we like it and that we ' re waiting eagerly for our sophomore year.

MARCHING BAND The rat-a-tat-tat of the snares and the boom-boom of the big bass drum marks the approach of the DeVilbiss High School Band. A shrill whistle, the swing of the baton, and the drum major gives the roll-off signal. The drums beat and the trumpets blare as they swing into the familiar strains of the school song. Following close upon the heels of our drum major, Jim Serviss, are our Flag bearers who so proudly carry Old Glory and the Orange and Black, and our eight fine, high-stepping Ma- jorettes, whose costumes display the rainbow colors of DeVilbiss. This is the picture presented at all football games. When the Band plays it peps up everyone with more school spirit, and helps the Orange and Black through to victory. Some of the world ' s famous marches such as Sousa ' s Stars and Stripes Forever and Semper Fidelis ; Anchors Aweigh, the famous song of the Navy; and the Jolly Trumpeters March, from which the DeVilbiss School Song is taken, are outstanding favorites, and we all thrill to their inspiring tunes. Aside from playing at all of the games in the cry, the Band made a trip to Lima Cen ' ral and spurred our team on to victory. The Band olayed at the Toledo Medical Depot, and also at most of the mass meetings, and at many of the basketball games Again this year the Band was rated among the leaders in marching and in organization, and much of this credit must be given to Mr. Philip Z.iugg for the coop- eration and leadership he has developed in this group in [he two years he has been at DeVilbiss. Let us say, in conclusion, that we are sure the student body realizes how much it owes to the High School Band. and that in the future the students will help to further the cause of this worthy organization which has con- tributed so much to the school. May greater achievements be credited to those who will carry forth, in coming years, the purposes of this group CONCERT BAND With the gaiety of the football season, and the thrilling marching in patriotic parades coming to an end just at the beginning of winter, the DeVilbiss High School Band turns its efforts from the in- spiring marching tunes and school songs to the more gentle type of musical entertainment. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Philip Zaugg, the Band has become a musical organization of real talent and development in the finer qualities of melodic music. There are a few necessary requirements for membership in this organization, as it is an accredited course, and its members receive the same number of credits as given in any regular courses of the general curriculum. One day a week is spent in theory and harmony of music. The text book used is Tapper ' s book of First Year Harmony. One must love music, and have the ability to play some musical instrument of the wind, reed, or percussion types, and have a general knowl- edge of music, and each one must be interested in the general welfare of the entire group. We have studied a large number of interesting selections; the most enjoyable were Au Pays Loi- raine, Cowboy Rhapsody, Begin the Beguine. Lady Be Good, Light Cavalry, Youth Triumphant, The Crusaders, and Come Siceel Death. To raise funds for necessary equipment, and for expenses incurred during the year, the Band gave its annual concert in the DeVilbiss auditorium. This concert was well received by a very appre- ciative audience. Allen Bergman is President of the organization, and is assisted by Kenneth McGill, Vice-president; Rosemary Hoefle, Secretary; Bill Ruddy, Treasurer; and John Flick, Librarian. Those serving on the Ways and Means Committee are Allen Bergman, Chairman; Jerry Emery, Kenneth McGill, Fred Rothacker, John Flick, Rosemary Hoefle, Bill Ruddy. Bob Orr. Inside sow.

In October the Orchestra played here at school for the P.T.A. meeting and for the Northwest District Teachers ' Association meeting held at Ma- comber High School Several small groups, which were led by Mi Lamb, played for programs over W.S.P.D. and W-T.O.L. Also they played at Christmas time in the library and for the Freshman Mother ' s Tea. This year ' s officers are President, Ruth Keller; Secretary, Kathleen Henry; Treasurer, Joe Henry; Librarian, Joe Hendrikx; Manager, Kathleen Henry; Student Directors, Ruth Keller and Joe Henry.

A-CAPELLA CHOIR The selected A-Capella Choir had its beginning in the middle of last year by Mr. J. Phillip Zaugg. It is composed of a group of about twenty mixed voices including Betty Secor, Elizabeth Miller, Jerry Dombrowski, Jerry Granger, Evelyn Aring, Yvonne Fairbanks, and Charlotte Young in the soprano section. Shirley Rutschow, Joan Staubach, Bette Gibson, June Sodd, and Priscilla Inselman are among the alto section. Bob Bailiff, Mevin Mull, Dick Entenman, Jim Serviss and Dick Rod- jewski make up the bass part; while Jim Strub, Dick Shannon, Chuck Volker and Bob Hummond constitute the tenor section. Dick Bohl is the pianist for rehearsal and a few numbers that the choir does not sing a-capella. Most of the music sung by these people is classical, including the semi-classic and modern classic with some choral numbers added to the list. This chorus rates one half credit for the year, and it meets at 12:00 o ' clock noon on the stage. The members of this group are all students who wanted to join something which was more ad- vanced in the field of music. Any student who wishes to join this choir should see Mr. Zaugg and arrange for a try-out. The voices are then classed and the names are put on a waiting list. Then, when a new voice is needed in a certain section, the first name on the waiting list is called upon. This year most of the members have given up the greater part of their lunch hour to song, be- cause the small a-capella group does not as yet have a place in the regular curriculum activities But even though the songs are rehearsed with a sheet of music in one hand and a sandwich the other, the outcome proves to be very pleasing to the ear and definitely worth the attempt. Throughout the year this group participated in many programs including some programs of its own and some upon invitation from outside organizations. Among these were the formal concert given to the students of DeVilbiss in December, a part in a radio broadcast over the high school radio program, What ' s the World Coming To ; two performances at the Y.M.C.A. ; a part in a PTA program in November; and another radio program over W.T.O-L. in April.  - ' Seated at Piano, Elizabeth Miller.

ALL-GIRL CHORUS This All-Girls ' Chorus is a brand new organization which was started at the beginning of the second semester. After much advertising this music class is able to boast of a membership of about forty-five students. It meets on the stage during fifth hour. In this course of music a girl can take either Practical or Applied Chorus. If she takes Applied Chorus it simply means that she takes the course for full credit and must come five days .1 week. This includes four hours of actual singing with one hour of a course in Harmony per week. This strange course of Harmony, of which no one ever hears is learning to produce tone in an orderly and pleasing manner, following the laws of music. It is true that in the beginning most of the girls had not even the faintest idea of what these strange augmented filth and major thirds meant, but they are learning fast under their instructor ' s patient and firm repeated explanation. With Mr. Zaugg directing they sing anything from classical to popular music Most of the time, however, the semi-classical songs rate the highest among the members of the class Some of the best liked pieces are Sweethearts from the operetta Ma) Turn. I Heard A Forest Praying. ' ' Love Is the Wind, and the different selections from the comic opera IxhIki 0] Sei ' ilh The major activities of the Chorus included a performance in the DeViltries 111 the Spring, and participation in a radio program over station W.T.O.L. in April. The President of this organization is Elizabeth Miller, a senior, who also acts as accompanist for those numbers which are not sung A-Capella. Gloria Gray, a senior, is Secretary, while Priscilla Inselman, also a senior, holds the job of Treasurer. Our purpose is to increase the girls ' own enjoyment and to further the understanding and educa- tion in the field of music for the students of DeVilbiss High School. SENIOR HI-Y It was the pounding of the gavel in the hand of President Clarence Pawlicki that brought the meetings of the Senior Hi-Y to order each week in the past school year. The club had an event- ful year despite the fact that many of the fellows were in the Armed Service by the end of school. The other club officers were Chuck Breese, Vice-President, who left for the Navy at the end of the first semester; Jim Lupe, Chuck ' s successor; Dale Flickinger, Secretary; and Bob Crowner, Treasurer. Under the leadership of these fellows and with Mr. Wayne Cruey as their adviser, they had little difficulty in having a good time at all their meetings. The club ' s social affairs were highlighted by two annual dances. The first was a winter dance- sponsored entirely by the DeVilbiss group. The second dance, which took place in the spring, was presented with the cooperation of the Ottawa Hills Hi-Y. There were other events that added fun to the school life of the group. In February the Seniors took part in the monthly forums. They furnished the entertainment at this meeting In the early part of that eventful month the boys of the club joined the Senior Girls Friendship in a splash party at the Y.M.C.A. During the football season the gang ditched their glad rags for a rugged football schedule. The Hi-Y opposed fourteen teams during this season, and only once did they bow to defeat. The Hi-Y stepped out of its football togs and jumped into basketball attire. They stepped into the city Hi-Y championship early in the year. The Hi-Y played games the rest of the season with teams from all over the city. Many seniors who were members of the club held important offices in the school. Several boys played varsity football and basketball. Two senior class offices were held by Hi-Y members and several members were Commissioners. When the school year reached its end the group took the money accumulated from its social affairs and presented the school with a memorial.

B mm SENIOR FRIENDSHIP CLUB The year of 1944-45 opened with a fun-packed social meeting for the Senior Friendship Club. The members met at Ottawa Park and greatly enjoyed the scavenger hunt and roast planned for them. Our meetings are held every second and fourth Tuesday of each month. Any senior girl who wishes to join the club is qualified. The purpose of the club is to aid the girl in becoming self- sufficient, socially conscious, and spiritually developed. In the la te fall, the members entertained their parents at the annual Mwthers ' Tea. We also plan- ned a valentine party at the Lutheran Orphan ' s Home which gave the children at the home a treat. The boys in the Senior Hi-Y were invited by the Friendship Club to a splash party, dance and spread at the Y.M.C.A. Another social meeting was held at Ottawa Park in the form of a Hal- loween party. At a few of our business meetings the program was augmented by a song gathering led by Mrs. Leroy Schill, one of the members of the Y. W. C. A. Board of Directors. We learned some rousing songs and had a pleasant time. The officers of the club include June Franklin, President; Pat Herzberg, Vice-President; Mary Schill, Treasurer; Eugenie Eichman, Secretary; Mabel Suter, Chaplain. The chairmen of the vari- ous committees are Pat South, Service; Barbara Lewis, Publicity; Betty Nisch, Membership; Peg Bartholomew, Ways and Means; Annis Henry and Laura Kaseman, Social; Pat Herzberg, Program.

Its officers are President, John Zingg; Vice- President, Bob Bailiff, Secretary, Alfred Kane; Treasurer, Bob Dixon. No club can carry on without new members, thus on January 4, Joe Weaver, Ken Crossman, Bill Duensing, Jack Fish, and Dick Shimmann became new members for the year of 1945. Some of the reasons why we have such a good club can be attributed to John Rightmeyer, Pro- gram Chairman; Russ Moore, Athletic Chairman; Jim Hunt, Social Chairman; and Jack Fish, Room Chairman. Thanks to Bob Power, our Sergeant-at-Arms, we have a little peace during meetings. Bob Dixon, Publicity Chairman; Bill Skinner, Membership Chairman; Ernie Roehrs, Service Chairman; Chuck Charpie, Auditorium Chairman — all are reliable committeemen. In the athletic field our team won two of its four football games but when they played Scott ' s Hi-Y Basketball team they weren ' t too fortunate. They lost 21-20. The football team consisted of Russ Moore, Don Robertson, Jim Hunt, John Rightmeyer, Jim Arbaugh, Bob Power, Bob Buckley, John Flick, Bob Donley, Dick Shimmann, Chuck Volker, Ernie Roehrs. Chuck Charpie, Dick Pio, and Bill Skinner. The Basketball team consisted of Russ Moore, John Zingg, Al Kane, John Rightmeyer, Jim Ar- baugh, Bob Donley, John Flick, Chuck Volker, Jim Hunt, Don Robertson, Bob Power, Bob Buck- ley, Lynn Paquette, and Mel Mull. The project of sponsoring a dance is looked down upon in the Hi-Y because of several failures. Nevertheless the Junior Hi-Y sponsored a dance at the Women ' s Building, April 7, 1945. Jim Rosin took charge of all details with assistance from Russ Moore and John Rightmeyer on bids; Jim Hunt and Bob Power, general help; and everyone, the selling of bids. 139 Pat Potter, Grace Pizer, Barbara Renn, Yvonne Fairbanks, Marianne Chambers, Joanne Birkenkamp.

JUNIOR FRIENDSHIP CLUB JR The Junior Friendship Club is proud of its increased membership over previous years. The or- ganization .aid cooperation between committees and officers may account for the addition in num- bers. The officers of the club are Joanne Birkenkamp, President; Marianne Chambers, Vice- President; Janice Nauts, Secretary; and Yvonne Fairbanks. Treasurer. So far, the friendship club has had many beneficial talks by people well qualified to instruct stu- dents along particular lines However, besides these educational features, the Friendship Club has had a number of get-to-gethers purely for the purpose of enjoyment. The Club held a progressive dinner in December and a theatre party a little later. The Club is already making plans for selling ice cream bars at the DeViltnes and is hoping for the success this year that they had last. The organization has had close connection with the Y.W.C.A. and would like to express the thanks of every member for the invaluable help and guidance it has received throughout the year A great deal of thanks is due also to the adviser, Miss Eva Samsen for her helpful suggestions and understanding. Miss Samsen has given a great deal of her time and effort and her girls want her to know that they do truly appreciate her contributions to the group. The club also thanks each of its members for their regular attendance and the effort they have shown in bringing the club up to the level it has reached. This is a Friendship Club in spirit as well as in name. SOPHOMORE HI-Y The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain and extend through the school and communi- ty high standards of Christion living. Mr. Phillip Schaefer, our adviser, helped us a great deal this year, and we appreciate very much his aid. Mr. Fred Breed on October 19, 1944, gave us his views on amateur wrestling, compared to pro- fessional wrestling. Mr. Lowry on November 19, gave us a brief outline for improving school standards. Mr. Charles Wertz on February 1, 1945, told us what the Hi-Y had meant to him while he attended high school. We had several joint meetings with other clubs in which we saw movies on Navy training shown through the courtesy of the Navy Recruiting Office. We joined with the freshmen twice and heard Mr. Nauts and Mr. Pollman. Mr. Pollman discussed athletics. February 4, 11, 18, and 25 we spent our Sunday afternoons at the Hi-Y-Friendship Forums. On February 11, DeVilbiss took part in the program, Religion in the Classroom. Every year the Hi-Y Clubs of Toledo hold a basketball tournament which is held during the Christmas holidays in the Y.M.C.A. gym. As usual the Sophomore Club won. The members of the team were as follows: Bill Brewer, George Bettum, Dick Ruhlen, John Stoffel, Bob Huffman Later in the year we had a swimming meet of all the Toledo clubs.

So you ' d like to see how we work it? Well, put on your hik- ing boots and have a vitamin pill. You ' ll need it. With alpenstock in hand we climb to Miss Johnston ' s room, 327. Peeking in we find Prossie, the Art Editor, scribbling figures and muttering Deadline as Barbara Lewis and Loisann Levy hand her aspirin and cold towels. Dwight Johnson murmers to Corky Jones about the satisfaction of work already done. We duck a flying eraser and beat a hasty retreat. Led by compass and sextant to 164, we find Pat Downing arguing with a tearful freshman. Janet Lanz, the Business Manager, knows what to do. Colleen Sweeney, Louise Milne, and I are only assistants. Crowded by eager subscribers, we duck through the door marked No Admittance. Shirley Kaucher, Panel Editor, and her assistants, Betty Blodgett and Kenny McGill, are up to their ears in glue. Deadlines, you know. Backing out, we run into Mable Suter. Ad Manager, explaining the principle of the shot- gun to Thaxton and Weinberg. The photographers. Sue Warnke and Jim Huffer, break up that gruesome twosome, Snyder and Corbin to ask Gerry, the Features Editor, about a picture. Joe checks with Janey Power and Betty Nisch on the Athletic section. Mr. Stalker is phoning Miss Smith again. Let ' s dash up to 202 to see that department. And let ' s have another vitamin pill. Where ' s that Activities page? The typists, Connie Harpst and Phyllis Kraft shrink into a corner as Pat Herzberg, Associate Editor, leafs frantically through her notebook. Peg Bartholo- mew, Editor-in-Chief, checks her dummy with the Westcotts and Dick Bridgeman Class Editors. Jim Proctor, Senior Editor, looks over the index with Tak Yokoyama as Bev Wright, Junior Edi- tor and Joan Staubach, Sophomore Editor, identify pictures. Nancy Lou Walls hands in the Stu- dent Council page and Colleen Moore and Beverly Joy, Freshman Editors, go out after more copy, Nancy Lowry and Shelda Ryburn bring in the Faculty write-ups as Jeanne Miller and Barbara Freed finish Organizations. Then the whole staff begins to read proof. Oh, I ' m so sorry. Do have another vitamin pill. 14: Row 1 , Joe Hendrikx, Gerry Seitz, Joanne Ziegler, June Evans, Florence McNair, Gloria Hollopeter, Betty Dolgin, Margery Garrett, Jackie Hower, Carol Cromwell, Katheryn Crothers, Elaine Wilkinson, Charles Miller.

PORTRAIT OF THE 1945 PRISM STAFF Since both Prism staffs, literary and business, have finally sat still long enough to have their pictures snapped, we also take this opportunity to present a tinted portrait of their Prism ac- tivities. In the 216 Scribble Department . . . In the midst of a peaceful Publications Hour we find Phil Miller, Managing Editor. He an- nounces to the group that news is due today; while Julia Pinkerton, Editor-in-Chief, produces a thumb-screw from her capacious purse to enforce the order. Ruth Gogel, Society Editor, hastily begins to dictate Devil Doings to News Editor and Chief Typist, Martha Goodwin. Don Ken- nedy, Sports Editor, and Dick Ahrendt, Assistant ditto, cease their game of basketball with the waste paper basket, and begin to worry about who made how many points in the last game. Club Editor, Kathryn Crothers, hunts frantically for q while Gerry Seitz waits patiently for the t ypewriter so she can type exchanges. Bill Nilsson remarks casually that the camera is broken again, while Bob Dixon, Harold Briesacher. and Phil Nietzel contemplate drastic measures for the staff photographer. Just then the door opens and in swarm the reporters: June Evans, Jean Fadden, Bette Gibson, Joe (Bugle Call) Hendrikx, Ted Housley, June Hudson, John Laird, Florence McNair, Charles Miller, Dick Runion, Elaine Wilkinson, Jay Wright, Joanne Ziegler, and Dorothy Zackrisson, Feature Editor, who has just been picked up by the hall patrol. Miss Rose Bloom smiles approvingly at the sign above her busy desk, God Bless our Staff. In the 2 50 High-Pressure Department . . . Here we find Richard, the Blackhearted Kasle, directing the Business Staff. Through the capable fingers of Betty Dolgin, Carol Cromwell, and Howard Minke pass the Prism ' s cash under the di- rection of Gloria Hollopeter, Sales Staff Manager. Arnold (Spook) Yost addresses the Ad Staff: Margery Garrett, Joyce Josephsen, Bill Kirk, Carl Thielman, and Dwight Johnson. From their efforts come the advertisements which decorate the Prism ' s pages. The machinations of Prism publicity emanate from Frank Coss, who is scratching out the Prism scripts, and Jo Dee McBee, who directs the painting of gaudy posters. Aiding and abetting are Kinter Berkebile, Joyce Ladig, Jackie Hower, and Ruth Becker. Advising proceedings is Miss Elaine Hirth, who wishes occasionally that she had Miss Bloom ' s sign to smile at. 143 FRESHMAN HI-Y The Freshmen Hi-Y was all ready and organized to start the year ' s activities when school opened last September. The preceding June had seen officers chosen. Bob Drake was elected President, Bnb Eikost became Vice-President and Frederick Haase got the job of Secretary. The role of Treasurer was given Lei and Mnree and Douglas Rust was responsible for order as Sergeant-at-Arms. The year ' s activities were many and varied but all seemed to carry out the Hi-Y purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community a high standard of Christian charac- ter. The weekly meetings were characterized by discussion of problems confronting us in everyday life. Relationships in school, home, church and community were discussed. We were fortunate in enlisting the aid of several fine speakers to help us with our problems. Norm Pollman, Mer- ritt Nauts, Reverend Schumm and Ollie Marquardt, Mud Hen Manager, gave interesting and in- formative talks. We entered into inter-scholastic discussion through the annual February Hi-Y — Friendship Forums. Our calendar also included social functions. A roast, a skating party, and a sleigh ride provided for our recreational needs. Also under the heading of fun came pledge week when new members were taken in. This was thoroughly enjoyed by all. especially the older members. The success of our year s work has depended largely upon our committee system. Bob Eikost, Vice- President, acts as general committee chairman. Clark Crites was in charge of World-Brotherhood Committee, Carl Schwamm, and Dan Rowand were co-chairmen of the Membership Committee and the Athletic Committee was taken care of by Dick McAllister and Tack Schultz. We are toys in a great organization as members of the State and National Hi-Y Yet our activi- ties are the foundation on which that organization rests Our first year has been very successful and we look forward to an even greater future.

LIBRARY TRAINING CLASS The officers of this class are President, Thana Morgan; Vice-President, Roxana Calverd; Secre- tary, Florence Wegner; and Treasurer, Betty Konz. The purpose is to develop a love for books and good reading. The members meet every day for a class period, half of which is devoted to learning library work and methods: the parts of a book, use of the catalog, classification of books, and the wealth of dictionaries and reference books. The other half is spent in shelving books, typing, pasting pockets in magazines and books, serving notices on overdue books and fines, carrying displays, and sundry tasks. Each month every stu- dent is assigned to several sections of book shelves. His job is to shelve these books, keep them in order, and see if any book repairing has to be done. Students can earn extra credit by volunteering to come in before and after school, or by helping during their study periods and homerooms. At the end of the first semester, seven girls and four boys joined the class making a total of twenty students. The members of this class helped to sponsor the Library program of Christmas stories and music and assist with the organization and execution of Book Week. Book Week was observed late in February with its aim and purpose to augment the library col- lection wherever needed through collections from first hour classes. Classes vied with one another for top honors in collections and the winners were awarded recognition by invitation to a very fine auditorium program. Helping choose and buy books gave student donors a greater interest and pride in their school library. Social occasions were various luncheon parties and a picnic at the end of the year. year. Working together resulted in fine friendships among members and one and all profited by better understanding, and enjoying fully the many facilities the library had to offer them. 145 S . fl BL c fl ■ j 4 : b|L ' x L-l i ' ID H ffl 1 1 t • - J B | E JK£ Sfl pP ■ 111 .

Julia Pinkerton, PERICLEAN LITERARY SOCIETY Although distinctly not a long hair organization, the Delta (for DeVilbiss) Chapter of the Peri- clean Literary Society has successfully studied serious drama this year. While delving into the haunts of Shakespeare and attending plays, the group has increased its knowledge and interest in dramatic writings. During the course of the year, we studied Othello, A Kiss for Cinder- ella. and other well-known theatre productions. Poetry, too, was investigated, and a program of verse was planned and presented by Maryse Kelly and Carol Cromwell with o her members par- ticipating. Social events were also planned and executed throughout the year, including a Moth- ers ' Tea. Composed of junior and senior girls, Peris meet semi-monthly in the homes of members. Guid- ing activities were advisers Mrs Margaret King and Mrs. Jeannette Brand. Gerry Snyder officiated as President with Pat Robertson, Vice-President, and JoDee McBee, Secretary, assisting her. June Franklin, Dorothy Zackrisson, and Julia Pinkerton served as Treasurer, Corresponding Secretary, and Sergeant-at-arms, respectively. Our club activities included a creative department. Gerry Snyder, Pat Putter, and JoDee McBee all had some success in the poetic field, while Dorothy Zackrisson brought fame to our name by capturing a one-hundred dollar prize in a national essay contest. Joyce Huebner, interested main- ly in the influence of drama on art, entered a portfolio in the annual Scholastic contest Katherine Heywood lent her talents to the Warren Radio Workshop, for her interest, like that of Marilyn Cannon, lies chiefly along the lines of dramatic production. Our newest member Dorothy Hayes, came to us from the Scott Periclean Society, and has been of immense aid in the reorganization of our new club- Perhaps our proudest achievement was the DeVilbiss Senior Play, written and directed by our own Julia Pinkerton. In stellar roles were two other members. Pat Robertson and June Franklin, who capably filled the parts of mother and daughter. THE ZETALETHEANS This year the Zets were reorganized and a new constitution was written and adopted. The meetings of the group were held in Room 115 and literary aspirants came and spent many infor- mative and enjoyable hours. The second and fourth Wednesdays of each month would find a grand group of girls in this room. The girls of the Zetalethean Literary Society pledged themselves to a greater appreciation of all types of literature. The themes for the meetings were as follows: November, Humorous Poetry; December, the Other Wise Man and the singing of Christmas carols; January and February, Present Day Novels; March and April, the Correlation of Literature and Art; May, Modern Plays. Some of the novels reviewed were Valley of Decision, This was Leydice, Dragonwyck, Leave Her to Heaven, and Christofer Strange. During our correlation work the club made trips to the Art Museum for some practical work. Although we are a literary club the social side was not neglected. We had various evening meet- ings in the homes of club members. The social times proved to be entertaining and profitable too, because they promoted many permanent friendships. The spring roast was held and proved to be one of the high spots of the year. In June, a farewell dinner in honor of departing seniors brought the Club ' s activities to a close in a gala fashion. At various times in the year in order to become better acquainted and familiarized with the Zet organization, background and purpose, members of the societies in other schools were invited to come and speak to our club, giving us many pointers. Ideas were gotten from these meetings that aided the club immensely. Next year when there are some charter members to continue the club, installation of officers with candlelight ceremonies to induce new members is planned. The society ' s eventful year was under the capable leadership of Mable Suter, President; June Young, Vice-President; Pat South, Secretary; and Joanne Behm, Treasurer. The duo who coun- seled and contributed much to make this year the success wc feel it was, were Miss Marjorie Warner and Miss Leah Schueren. . ■■ ■ ■ ■: ju S i hB.- flflfl Jtl $ £ 1 F - i v ' . s M ' J £ V W ■ B L !

To promote interest in Greek and Roman culture is our purpose. The high character of ancient Roman family life is held up as an ideal of the cluh. The industrious and capable officers this year were: Jim Goodrich and Carl Thielman, Consuls ; Bess Fuller, Tribune; Mildred Wilson, Quaestor; Jackie Velleman, Aedile; Phyllis Tanber, Praetor; and Jack Robedeau, Pontifex Maximus. The Romani assembled every second and fourth Tuesday in room 207. We spent much time gaining information about the mythologies and customs of those aforementioned peoples. The Aedile or director of activities supplied the members with many excellent and appropriate programs. At one meeting the program consisted of slides which illustrated stories from classic mythology. Another, the alternate Consul gave an educational talk on the Saturnalia. This feast dedicated to the god Saturn, was celebrated annually by the Romans in the middle of December. The ex- changing of gifts among friends was performed at that period. This part of the Saturnalia cele- bration is similar to our Christmas custom of giving and receiving gifts. Later in the year a short play, concerning our every day use of Latin words and derivatives, was enacted by some of the members. In February, through the kind cooperation of Mr. Lowry and his Visual Education class, we were able to enjoy the presentation of the motion picture The Last Days of Pompeii. That film dealt accurately with the citizens of rich Pompeii, just before and during the famous eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. An event for which the Curia is well known is the Roman Banquet held in the spring. The furniture of the dining room is arranged to resemble that of the Romans as closely as possible. Naturally, only the food that they were accustomed to eating is prepared. The Romans began their banquets with eggs and ended with apples, here the expression ab ovo ad mala. Slaves served the following edibles: fish or pork, rolls with honey, cabbage, asparagus or carrots, and a salad. Sometimes nuts and fruits were also served. Entertainment usually suc- ceeded the meal. The Curia could, not have enjoyed such a successful existance this year without the excellent guidance of our advisers, Mr. Voss, Mr. Sam Emery, and Mr. Lowry. Rou I. Kathleen Henry.

DEBATE CLUB Resolved: That the voting age should be lowered to eighteen. Given their first assignment by Mr. John Webb, coach members of the Debate Club went scurrying to the library to prepare their briefs. Finding information, indexing it, and presenting it before the group gave these industri- ous students their first chance to practice the age-old art of forensic. This new member in the DeVilbiss family of clubs has a strictly studious purpose. Its main in- terest is in debating, an art that offers practice in public-speaking, clear argumentation, and fact- finding. A good debater should be able to take either side of a question and present clear, well- rounded arguments in support of his point. The club was organized under the sponsorship of Mr. Raymond Lowry. JoDee McBee became the first president with Frank Coss assisting as Vice-President. To record activities and collect the dues is the duty of Jack Hart, Secretary. Regular meetings are held once a month in members ' homes. At these meetings they discuss de- bate topics, decide club policies, and debate. Special meetings are called during school to discuss the question, exchange information on the topic, and to check on regular meetings. Topics of interest to students, the nation, and the world come up for discussion. Compulsory military training, lowering the voting age, and India ' s political freedom were debated during the year. The school and public libraries offered the information; putting it together to form good arguments was the job of the debater. As there is no other debating club in the city ' s high schools, the club is grooming itself for con- test with other Northwestern Ohio schools and colleges. The late start and organizational prob- lems of this year prevent active debate outside the school but teams were formed within the club, and next year ' s plans are very hopeful. 149 _ _ ura ' -.-• r • W ' llWW Row 1, Anne Cravens, Jacquie Diller, Annis Henry, Bud Dixon, Bob Crowner, Eugenie Eichman, Joan Pross, Joan Banham, Jane Farber.

LA JUNTA ESPANOLA Amid the reorganization of many clubs this year, many students of Spanish were eagerly antici- pating the time when they could form and become a part of the Spanish Club. In fact, the club ' s popularity was so great, its membership had to be limited to advanced studen s only- Due to the late date of the formation of the club, activities of the year were held to a minimum The annual Fiesta, which is always looked forward to eagerly by all interested in Spanish. u.h not planned because of certain limitations due to the war. The activities of the year were closed by a spring roast, highly enjoyed by all The purpose of La Junta Espaiiola is to gain a better understanding of Spanish speaking countries, and to further interest in the Spanish language Therefore, we have endeavored to include in our programs, people who had interesting information of this sort to offer. In reorganizing, it was necessary to learn something of the club ' s history and the traditions to be upheld. Consequently, we invited Mr. Brown to enlighten us on some of these things. We were also entertained by Mrs. Erausquin who told us of her breathtaking experiences in Spain during the outbreak of the revolution; and by Miss Marian Smith who talked on her recent summer in Mexico. I Our meetings take place the third Wednesday of every month in homes of the members. Presid- ing at these metings is Bob Crowner, our very capable President. He is assisted very ably by Eugenie Eichman, Vice-President and Program Chairman, Annis Henry takes the minutes as Sec- retary, and Bud Dixon, Treasurer, keeps the books. Starting off the program each month with a prayer in Spanish is Joan Pross, our Chaplain. To guide us in our efforts we have Mrs. Backus, Mrs. Mills, Mr. Brown, and Miss Schmit. 150 VARSITY D After a four-year lay off the DeVilbiss Varsity D club again resumed duties this year.

It was last fall when Miss Pasch received two little visitors who inquired in a meek voice (they WERE just freshmen) about literary societies. Now there are twenty-one members instead of two and about the only thing they haven ' t got is a name. The problem of a name has come up several times but the girls haven ' t been able to find one they like, so they have just remained the Freshmen Lit. Their threefold purpose is represented by the thought bar, to speak; hand, to write; and the eye, to read. These are combined in their attractive emblem which was designed by Arylene Stoll, one of their members. The election of officers was held during their second meeting. Thurayne Thomas was elected to lead them as President and Jaclyn Dohm as Vice-President. The Secretary ' s job went to Beverly Kerr and Arylene Stoll is Treasurer. Meetings are held in room 116 every other Wednes- day at 3:00. Their adviser is Miss Charlotte Burwick. Along with having thirteen Honor Roll students among their twenty-one members there are two members of the Dramatic Club and two members of the Curia Club. Most of the girls also be- long to the G.A.S. Norma Dotson, one of the newer members, .participated in the Prince of Peace Declamation Contest, winning a bronze metal. Carolyn Gassen, a former DeVilbiss student, talked to them on Art with Literature as an In- fluence. Carolyn, now a Toledo L ' niversity student, has had several of her paintings on display at the Art Museum. Literature on a world wide theme was the topic for the second semester after which they then re- turned to study modern literature in our own country. Artists, musicians, and writers, as well as literature students, constitute the organization It is the society ' s sincere wish that it may be of some help to every one of its members.

Serving as officers are: Presi- dent, Janet Reister; Vice-President, Ruth Gogel ; Secretary, Donna Biehler; Treasurer, Virginia Grocott, Chaplain, Joanne Birkenkamp; Sergeant-at-arms, Charmaine Smith. At the head of the Publicity Committee is Elaine Wilkenson. Also with her are Pot Potter and Beverly Brown. The Welfare Committee is headed by Joanne Birkenkamp, who is assisted by Jane Laures and Virginia Grocott. Charmaine Smith presides over the Social Committee. With her are Donna Biehler and Shirley Christofel. The Telephone Committee is ably handled by Juanita Schultz, chairman, Carol Gallup, and Virginia Schoor. Shirley Ruhl and Mary Ann Pa- penfus get us new members. Dorothy Zackrisson, chairman, Margaret Cole, Terry Jenkins, and Ruth Gogel plan the program for the year. The Ways and Means Committee has on it Alice Ingwerson, Marjory Maedel, Mary Bergman, Betty Lake, and Pat Eichenlaub. One of our activities was making stocking dolls for the children in war-torn Europe. Making these was not only fun, but helpful to the war effort. Another activity was to make joke books for soldiers in the hospital. We hope many hours were spent laughing at the jokes in the fin- ished product. Every one wants to give Mrs. Luther a great big orchid for all of the help she has given us, as our teacher adviser. She has helped us as no other person would, for she was always willing to give us her time, help, or advice. --c L u oise Chantoff, Virginia Hay ward, Phyllis Weiker, Jeanne Miller, Barbara Freed, Barbara Lewis, Joanne Merrill, Doris Roddy, tt.

It has al- ways been said, stated Miss Bloom at our first meeting, that the prettiest girls in the school belong to Sorelles and I see the tradition is being carried on. (Please don ' t judge us by the above picture.) Let ' s drop in one of the member ' s homes and eavesdrop on one of the meetings, shall we? The deafening chatter of thirty-five senior girk is going at top speed and over there is Marian Smith (Smitty) the President, shouting Order, order! We will now hear from Annis Henry, our Vice-President. Well, ah, says Henry tossing down her Physics, although the Club has just started up I think we ' ve fulfilled our purpose quite well this year. Hey Pross, urges Smitty, how about a report on what we ' ve Well, says Joan standing in her stocking feet, we started mas Carols with the Junior Sorelles in the halls and then . . grand Christmas party for those orphans Christmas vacation.

Smitty approves Now we ' ll have a treasurer ' s report from Kitzman. Bonnie leers at us as she pulls out her blacklist saying O.K. now, yon kids hafta pay your dues. A deafening chorus of groans greets this remark and Elaine Rice the trusty sergeant-at- arms leaps to her feet almost stumbling over our two good natured advisers Mrs. Sutter and Miss Stoll, shouting, SILENCE. Wiih this the hostess appears with chips and cokes. After a mad rush the clock chimes nine and we gather up books, knitting, etc. and prepare to leave. So ends another Sorelle meeting. J54 JUNIOR SORELLES Quiet! shouts Louise Milne, Sergeant-at-arms, .is a bi-monthly Tuesday meeting of the twenty- four Junior Sorelles supposedly comes to order. We have just organized this year under a new constitution and have taken as our welfare project, the Luella Cummings Home. The Sorelles have enjoyed many good times in the company of these teen-age girls, a Christmas Party, a Val- entine Party and other entertainments. Plans are being formulated for group and individual ac- tivities to further understanding and fellowship between the Junior and Senior Sorelle groups. A roast at Pearson Park this spring with baseball, roller skating, and bicycling as the major at- tractions is the most favored future event. The Junior and Senior Sorelles have had several combined activities during the year. They en- tertained the classes of DeVilbiss by caroling in the halls before Christmas. In the spring, the Juniors and Seniors were engaged in a fast-moving game of basketball. The results were such as cannot be announced here. The Junior Sorelles met one evening in one of the member ' s homes for a slumber party. Hair up in rags and curlers; cold cream on faces; and Pops pajamas were very much in evidence. A good time was had by all even though no one received much beauty sleep. We are very proud to have as one of our advisers, Mrs. Perkins, a new member of the faculty this year. Under her guidance and with the assistance of Miss Lukens. we have succeeded in es- tablishing our club well on the road to permanency. Chief among these fun-loving Sorelles are Margie Stover, President; Pat Monoghan, Vice-Presi- dent; Carol Cromwell, Secretary; and Nancy Meyers, Treasurer. These officers were installed at a joint installation service with the Senior Sorelles in the library, by Miss Stoll, soon after the or- ganization in the fall. We are justly proud of the Junior Sorelles, and next year, as an organization, we hope to grow into wider and more useful fields.

We have in our members the Van Johnsons and Hedy Lamarrs of tomorrow. We make the claim that this club has never a dull moment. Something is always happening — good or bad. We are ably advised by Mrs. Carrie Whaley and Miss Grace Kratz. Phyllis Kramb holds the gavel with Jack Webb as her assistant. Roderick Gettel is Recording Secretary while Arlene Leonard is Corresponding Secretary and Librarian. Pat Stacey juggles the finances (and we do mean juggles) and Nancy Lou Walls is our official bouncer. The Executive Board is composed of the six of- ficers and Rosemary Hoefle, Conrad Stolzenback III. Joyce Mitchell and Marianne Chambers. The club boasts a total of seventy-one members. We started the year off with a get-acquainted Halloween party under the direction of JoDee McBee. Next followed a patriotic program dircted by BUI Brock, assisted by Jack Meyers, and produced by Dorothy Zachrisson, assisted by Katharine Heywood. For the club ' s pleasure we presented a Christmas play and program which was the work of Arlene Leonard. We gave a one-act comedy before the Junior Class and ended the year ' s activities with a three-act play. Thanks for the club ' s success this year go to Bill Brock, chairman of the Play Reading Committee; Katharine Heywood, chairman of Play Writing Committee; Rosemary Hoefle, chairman of the Membership Committee; Marilyn Kohn, chairman of the Social Committee; Mary Morrison, chairman of the Typing Com- mittee; Mary Gallagher, chairman of the Entertainment Committee; and to all of our hard work- ing members. However, do not be deceived, we all feel that we have had more laughs and fun out of this club than we have put work into it. So, we are all looking forward eagerly to next year when we shall resume our activities. Rait 1. Hazel Murphy, Barbara Bates, Carol James, Roderick Gettel, Arlene Leonard, Jack Webb.

SHARPS AND FLATS It isn ' t every new club that ' s grown so rapidly as the Sharps and Flats here at DeVilbiss. As the name suggests, it ' s a boys ' and girls ' music club — the only one of its kind. We have a limit of thirty active members, divided equally between boys and girls. Others wishing to join are put on a waiting list. Jim Strub was given the title of President; while the girls got their vote in for a feminine Vice- President, Margaret Rickerd; Kathleen Henry was elected Secretary; and Jim Huffer guards the money. These members are doing fine jobs serving as committee chairmen: Carolyn Freed, So- cial Chairman; Fred Schultz, Telephone Committee Chairman; Joseph Henry and Bill Rudy, co- chairmen for the Program Committee; and Mary Gallagher, Publicity Chairman. The club originated in a very unusual manner by an over heard telephone conversation. Several people liked the idea and decided to do something about it. It was our reliable adviser, Mrs. Luther, who helped establish and gain recognition for the club. We hold our meetings in the homes of members about once a month on Sunday afternoons at 3:00 P. M. We have a business meeting at which Mrs. Luther ' s thoughtful and intelligent sug- gestions are listened to. Our program chairmen make a careful selection so as to provide us with a varied program. Before refreshments are served, we generally have volunteer performers. Our dues are ten cents a meeting. This money is used for future activities such as concerts to which we have voted to go as a group. At the time this is being written, we have had two meetings, one at Carolyn Freed ' s, and one at the Henry home. This is not a study club, but one solely for enjoyment, progress, entertainment, and social activity. We even have a strong desire to form an orchestra. This shall be done after the club has further matured. 157 CHESS CLUB Scaled , Jim Devers, Don Schlatter Hiett Ward, Secretary-Treasurer ; Mr President. Charles Nauts, Robert Peelle.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT This year, 1944-45, saw much shifting around of the Athletic personnel with many new assignments and the addition of Fred Breed to the coaching staff. OIlie Klee resigned as head football coach and Scottie Florence was appointed head coach. Don Sharp was made line coach and Fred Breed took over the lightweights. Norm Pollman, Athletic Director and track coach, came to DeVilbiss in 1931. He was a track star at Scott and Ohio State where his specialty was the hurdles. He has influenced and inspired many teams. Scottie Florence, head football and basketball coach, came to DeVilbiss in 1941 and has been a valuable member of our coaching staff. He receiv- ed his education at Scott High School and Witten- berg College, being an active participant in sports at both schools. Don Sharp, line coach and lightweight basketball coach, was a great quarterback at Scott High School and Toledo University. He also serves as Physical Director at Robinson Junior High. He has worked eight years with our freshman and lightweight squads and has turned out many fine teams. Fred Breed, the newcomer to DeVilbiss, has charge of the lightweight squad and has a class in wrestling. He played football at Scott High School and Ohio University where he was also a star wrestler. The record of DeVilbiss in all sports is the best in the city since DeVilbiss opened and the work of these men will keep it so. 161 VARSITY FOOTBALL c o R B I N G O N I A SCHEDULE DeVilbiss— 6 27— Woodward DeVilbiss — 6 31 — Central DeVilbiss— 7 14— Waite DeVilbiss— 6 19— Scott DeVilbiss— 6 18— Woodward DeVilbiss— 7 19— Central DeVilbiss— 27— Waite DeVilbiss — 7 6 — Lima Central DeVilbiss— 6 27— Scott DeVilbiss — 14 — Fremont DeVilbiss — 6 41— Libbey Row 1, Jim Gover, Don Bubacz, Al Kane, Bob Brown, John Zingg, Carl Hibscher, John Stecker, Bob Nappenbach, Jack Kennedy, Brian Ferries.

As the boys became more accustomed to this style they began to get the feel of it and played good ball, only to have lapses into unorganized play. The team was hampered by injuries. At the end of the year there was only one starting player who hadn ' t been benched by injuries for a week or so. The team took it on the chin all year but always came back for more and gave their best. Although they had what could be called a poor season the school spirit was great. The school backed the team to the utmost and never let them down. This was the toughest schedule a DeVilbiss team has ever played. At the close of every football season the players get together for their annual banquet. The climax of this event comes when the boys vote the player who, in their opinion, has been the most valuable on the team. This year ' s winner, Al Kane, was awarded the Berlin Trophy by his teammates. Since the season has ended several of the boys have joined the Armed Forces of our country. Carl Hibscher, John Stecker, Jack Kennedy, Brian Ferries, Chuck Meranda, Bill Redman, and Bert Fike are playing on Uncle Sam ' s team now.

Last year ' s first string players were all seniors. Their graduation left quite a dent in the squad and this year ' s results were far below the championship ball of last season. During this season the Tigers won three games and lost twelve but they improved with every game. Bert Fike, star center, and Johnny Stecker, guard, received a call from Uncle Sam in the middle of the season. Zeke Tussing was lost by illness and injury. Brian Ferries was out for a few weeks, too, because of illness. To replace them Scottie brought up two players, Dutch Spohler and Russ Spindler, from the lightweight squad. Both Dutch and Russ saw a lot of action the rest of the year. Each game showed the Tigers improving but the other teams had the edge on them in experience. At the playoffs in the Northwestern Ohio District Tournament at the University of Toledo, they drew a rejuvenated Libbey team. Our team played a won- derful game and although they came out on the short end of the score, 38-32, it was a thrilling game all the way. Next year ' s prospects are very bright with six letter men returning to form a strong base for next year ' s team. Norb Todd, Bob Brown, Joe Botek, Paul Rupp, Dutch Spohler, and Russ Spindler will start the season next year. mP ' nH ■ aj — il j m ? r + ' ' i Vri)| nJT LIGHTWEIGHT FOOTBALL Ron i. Floyd li.iJt.

Under the able coaching of Fred Breed the DeVilbiss Kittens showed a very hopeful outlook for future Varsity ball. The team was mostly made up of sophomores and the juniors also turned in a good season. Fred Breed, a newcomer to our staff, did a great deal to bring out the talent which will soon rule our Varsity ball. The boys with this valuable experience will be excellent material for next year ' s Varsity.

Don Sharp ' s Kittens had a poor season this year winning only two games and losing thirteen. Don was greatly hampered by the loss of Dutch Spoh- ler and Russ Spindler to the Varsity. As the season progressed the team played better ball but the opposing teams also improved. One of the main objects of the lightweight teams is to provide a proving ground for Varsity material and this year the team has done just that.

The seniors suf- fered more with these changes than the other three classes did. In the previous years the senior girls had a program that consisted of gym three days a week and such outside activities as bowling clubs, hiking clubs, and riding clubs. This year the program of classes has been set up so that all classes have two days of gym, in- cluding the freshmen who used to have only one. Swimming at the Y.W.C.A. was continu- ed one day a week for seniors again this year. Thus, the whole revision made the activities of all classes more even and made the competi- tion greater. It seems that the Physical Education teachers really had their hands filled all year. If it weren ' t for someone having an appendectomy, a broken ankle, or some other catastrophe, you were sure to see them aiding someone with a skinned knee or elbow. If anyone wanted Miss Entemann she could al- ways be found somewhere behind the pile of papers on her desk. Mrs. Terhell could be located down in the locker room looking around to catch someone munching on potato chips. Mrs. Ehlenfeldt. known by Miss Jane, was the new addition to the staff this year. She is by no means the least of the three, for she was always putting her foot down when nec- essary. Lois Entemann Jane Terhell Jane Ehlenfeldt 171 Fall — The Physical Education Department divides its schedule into three sections: fall, winter, and spring. Field hockey, played out- doors with eleven on a team is the fall sport that Taddies enjoy. Flying hockey sticks and banged-up shins are trade marks of this active sport. Intra-mural teams and regular classes go all out for hockey. The freshmen also play schlog-ball indoors, a game which is a take-off on baseball played with soccer ball. Winter — The winter season got under way with basketball and modern-dance head- ing the schedule. Basketball is the favorite and competition is keen both in classes and in intra-murals. Girls ' basketball is played on a smaller court than boys and has six play- ers on a team. The length of the season means that half the time is spent on basket- ball and the other half on modern dance. Spring Early spring brings volleyball and the nets go up in the gym. Teams of from eight to twelve girls bat the ball back and forth over the net. Warmer weather sends the girls outdoors for baseball. The seniors are confident that after four years they at last know how to catch the ball. Connecting ball and bat, however, is still a problem. 172 Betty Nisch Phyllis Burkett Jane Power June Franklin GIRLS ' ATHLETIC SOCIETY G. A. S. spelled much success from freshmen to seniors this year. The officers, all seniors, got off to a good start. Their first task was to revise and re- write the constitution which had to be changed in order to meet our changed needs. The system of awards was revised so that the freshmen would be able to receive an award for their work through the year instead of a certificate. This change moved up the total requirements for all other awards several hundred points. But even with this revision three girls managed to achieve their gold lockets, which is the highest award a girl can obtain. The activities of the past year were somewhat dif- ferent from previous years. The Christmas Party was the first event of the season and a Roller Skat- ing Party was the mid-winter attraction. Hey Day seemed to top every event during the year in ideas and originality. Five public high schools in Toledo attended a basketball round-robbin, with refresh- ments following. The presidents of the athletic clubs in each high school were the guest speakers. In return for this invitation Waite High invited De- Vilbiss to a splash party. Twenty senior girls at- tended and had one glorious time splashing in the Waite pool. Besides these events, we started a Foul Shooting Contest again this year. The winner, Pat Vannors- dall, can feel honored as the first girl to have her name under the plaque. The annual Pops ' Nite was not forgotten and all the girls accompanied by their dads turned out for an evening of fun with relays, games, and food. The Pops proved to be keen competition in base- ball in spite of their age. The final event of the year was the banquet for the seniors where the awards were given out. If you see a girl sporting any G.A.S. award you will know that she has earned it. Playing on intramural teams, attending meetings, acting as a leader — all these activities add points toward her award: Numerals 300 points Letter 900 points 1st Chevron 1500 points 2nd Chevron 2100 points Silver locket 2700 points Gold locket 3300 points MODERN DANCING litflu Virginia Schoor, Pat Vannorsdall, Janet Lanz, Carol Pattern. BASKETBALL The sound of the buzzer and the shrill blast of the whistle are familiar sounds to these girls who have battled their way to first place in the girls ' in- tra-mural league of basketball. To prove that these girls really had to work for their victorious unde- feated record is the fact that the winning basketball team of the freshman class had to play the undefeat- ed sophomore team. The sophs being the winner of this game played the juniors, but lost. Thus, the champion junior and senior teams were the final contenders for the title of Victors. This was the senior team and the proud captain who led them to victory is Bonnie Kitzman. Row 1, June Seeman, Eugenie Eichman, Donna Bea Merlin, Carol Patton.

HOCKEY Hockey is only played by the upper classmen, and the competition end of the game was exceptionally keen. The crisp fall air and frozen ground kept the games moving at a fast and furious pace. But these girls were rewarded for all the bumps and bruises they obtained, when they ranked as victors of the fall season sport. Under the leadership of their captain, Pat Vannors- dall, this senior team ended the season with an un- defeated record and really deserve the title Champs for their sportsmanship and skill on the hockey field. 175 SENIOR INDEX A Althaus, Jeanne 37 Prism 2, 3.
