$75 7945' MM W45 LIFE UNDER THE BIG TOP Dedication Life under the s'BIg Top, despite the turmoii that is in the world today, has followed the usual pattern. Though much of the festivity and merriment is dulled to some extent, how- ever, the general spirit cannot be altered. Ringmasters, lion tomers, peanut vendors, freaks, clowns, and the main attractions have all workect together in order to insure a successful performance. The ringmusters have directed and supervised the acts. The freaks, clowns, and peanut vendors, have worked hard to fulfill their duties, and the main attractions are now prepared to enter the big show with confidence in their success. Thus, we look to the future when proof of the success of the main attractions will be evident in their future performances. MUSIC, CLOWNS, N, PINK LEMONADE!

Crawford Students who have come in contact with Mr. Crawford are aware of his will- ingness to give his assistance and advice to their particular problems. New students have found him eager to welcome them into the school and guide them toward adiustment to their new schooi routine. Keenly cognizant of Deer Park com- munity interests, he has devoted much of his time working ,with the school board in preparing the blueprints for the new school building of the future. Kenneth Gillilan Mr. Kenneth Gillilan, our assistant principal, has the difficult task of supervising the grade school and man- aging our detention system, and yet he remains amaz- ingly popular. Reason? Be- cause he listens to both sides! Mr. Richard Watters WelI-known Mr. Richard Wutters is now completing his second year as principal of Deer Park High School. He is noted for his ability to solve student problems and is especially liked as a coach of Football. In the past year Mr. Wat- ters has been working hard trying to get a new footbu1l field for the boys to use in the future. ACTIVITIES UNDER THE BIG TOP Board of Education Herbert Thornell, Carter Branch, Joseph Findley, Albert L. Holmes, and Herman Heinichen are the board members of 1945. The board has a big iob in keeping the school running smoothly and emcienfly. This year, faced with The problem of furnishing a home for future genercfions of $tudents, the Board of Education has been working hard on the blue prints for the new school. To these men we owe our appreciafion for the things fhey have done +0 make Ihis a better school. They have given us something to remember our high school days long after graduation.

T. Barnum brings Romance. Cymbals clash and trombones blow- The stallions romp with the vans in tow, The huge red vans with scrolls of gold, And the snarling beasts that the cages hold, Lions, tigers, leopards, bears, Barnum drugs from jungle Icirs; The tall giraffe of mottled hide And the camels march with shambling stride. Look at the zebra team of six! The big bass drum makes a rousing din, The tents are wide, the crowds roll in; Round and round goes the grand parade, The nets are stretched, the mats are laid For acrobats who risk their lives in breathless swings and during dives; The chariots race, the vaulter vauits, The painted clowns throw somersuults. The stem ringmaster's whiplash cracks, The ladies stand on the horsesi bucks And gallop round and never tire But leap through hoops of flaming fire, While, like a prince in his palace hall, P. T. Barnum welcomes all, Lord of the Greatest Show On Earth Giving the world its money's worth. lsee him still at his country place. That plump old man with the shrewd, kind face Silver-crowned with curling hair, Throned on the porch in his rocking-chuir, Watching the Sound till the sky grows dark, Watching the gulls in Seaside Park, King of the Realm of Let's Pretend, P.

The Freshmen intramural teams, although handicapped by inexperience, gave strong resistance to the upper classmen. They immediately showed their strong school spirit by plunging whole- heartedly into the football season, producing athletes who in a few years will be our main source of prowess on the gridiron. At the Freshmen-Sophomore reception in October, the H5010M welcomed the HFresh with an evening of dancing and varied entertainment. In April the Freshmen gave a reception in honor of the Sophomores. The talent displayed at the Freshmen- Sophomore reception recurred later in the Minstrels of '45. In the Field of music the Freshmen huve representatives in bond and orchestra. Activities of this type, however, did not keep the class from winning scholastic honors, several of the students having competed in the District Scholarship Tests. The Freshmen look forward to taking their places among the Upper ctassmen, and guiding next year's Freshmen along the same paths they followed this year. TOP ROW-L. Walter, W. Louder, D. Stringer, V.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The Sophomore Class of 1944-45 is probably the class that has done and will do the most to bring back that happy-go-lucky feeling which was so general before the war. Constituting one o fthe largest classes in the school this year, and therefore having a large group from which selections can be made, it undoubtedly will bring forth many leaders in academic, social, and athletic fields. Among the various activities of this class has been the Sophomore-Freshmen recep- 1 tion. According to many reports this was one of the best receptions ever held in Deer Park. The acme of the social activities was the Stur-Dust Dance. Because of the persever- i ant help and enthusiastic cooperation of members of the committees involved, this l dance had one of the largest turnouts yet recorded, and was unanimously acclaimed i as the best dance this year.

TB THE MYSTERIES OF THE CIRCUS 19 ENTERING THE CENTER RING ARE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Approximately three years ago the present Junior class members entered Into a new circle of social activities as Freshmen. In a very short time they adiusted them- selves to the every day routine and made outstanding achievements in athletics and scholarship. Their sophomore year, flooded with new exciting activities, passed swiftly. On September 9, 1944, these boys and girls became Juniors. Claude Crowe was elected class president; Ginny Snyder, vice president; Lillian Parker, secretary; and Joan Bruner, treasurer. The greatest social event of the year was the Junior Prom held on May 5 at Kemper Lane. The three candidates for Prom Queen were Frances Cantrell, Shirley Schulz, and Mary Herweh. In spite of the midnight curfew, the Prom was a success. Frances Was crowned queen. The Juniors look forward to their senior year in which they will be the main attraction.

Boomlng punts, spiralling posses, plunging runners, scatty dashes, and bone-crushing tackles are a few of the welluremembered incidents in the training of the Wildcat gridders of 1944. On the losing and of the score all the time..mude a tough thing for the boys, but the training of new players promises good returns 'For next year, as only four of the squad were graduated, and one other goes into military service. ' Bachman, quarterback; Mersch, end,- Thompson, tackle; and Forste, end; were the Seniors on the squad, and Curly Crowe, iunior halfback, seems headed for the armed forces soon. Other boys on the squad who won their D, and will be on deck for the team next full are Enters, end; Thormon, tackle; Jackson, fullback; Richort, tackle; Wilson, guard,- Meeker, center; Sprague, halfback; Piepmeyer, halfback; Garrison, guard, and Henneman, guard. 24 TRACK AND CHEERLEADERS TRACK This year our track team was very short of materiul-nevertheless the boys made c: good showing. Paul Spahr, dashman; Johnny Jack- son, dashmcm; Johnny Bull Meeker, broad iumper; Joe Thorman, shot putter; Chuck Brandt, high iumper; and Claude Crowe and Vic Feinuuer, relay men, were our most important entries in the meets in which we competed.

Currens, D. Sticklund, Ge Snyder, VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM The prospects 'for the Deer Park High School 1944-45 basketball season were rather dismal when the season started. Shortly before the first game was scheduled to be played, the team had the great misfortune to lose two of its best players when the Noble brothers enlisted in the U. 5. Navy. How- ever, the candidates for the team who were ieft determined that they would do everything in their power to make the season as successful as possible. That they were successful in their attempt is proved by the fact that they were able to win seven games during the season. The team that Coach Carr started in the maiority of the games was composed entirely of under ciassmen. Three seniors helped to round out the ten players making Up the varsity squad. The fact that the starting five were underclassmen is ample proof that the Deer Park team for the 1945-46 season should be very strong. The majority of the teams that were played this year consisted of Seniors, and these players will not be back next season to represent their schools. On several occasions Coach Carr had very good opportunities to observe that this year's team had a very outstanding spirit, Many games were piayed against teams which were larger and had had more experience in the court game, but on every occasion the Deer Park players came through with real fighting spirit. i'Chuck Brandt was selected early in the season by the other members of the team to serve as captain, and it was under his able leadership that the team demonstrated outstanding qualities.

V. teams to wear the scarlet and grey for several years. Their win-ondeloss record is the best proof as to their ability. The best proof of the real determination to win their games was given by the many close games that they won. To test a fighting team you took at the games that had close scores, and in almost every instance, the Deer Park boys returned a victory. These players are bound to make the efforts of the varsity coach for the 1945-46 season much easier. Many times during the season they were the subiect of very favorable remarks by visiting coaches and spectators. This team finished very high in the league, and showed very good against a team that represented one of the largest high schools in the city of Cincinnati. Six players could really be listed as regulars. They were led by HRazor Rasch, and he proved to be a very popular leader, as well as one of the finest players on the team. Joe Thormcm and Johnnie Ross formed the remainder of the forward strength, while the guard positions were capabty taken care of by Johnnie Jackson and Pete Understein. CHH Cordell played the center position and proved to be one of the best atl-oround players on the team. Coach Carr also had many other players on hls reserve squad, and practically every one of these boys showed a great deal of promise of developing into future court stars. 27 BASEBALL TEAM FIRST ROW LEFT TO RIGHTuW.

The Wildcats that donned the Scarlet and Grey for the 1945 season were bursting with determination to overcome the batting slump which threw them off stride last year, and were, for the most part, successful. Their low batting average of .125 for the 1944 season had to be increased for the 1945 squad to have c: winning season, and their eFforts were iustiftedt With the other departments being handled by experienced men, the pitching staff was to be the deciding factor on which either defect or victory was to be hinged. Krenntng, Neu, and Henneman proved to be the right combination in the infield, while Benhase tackled the catching problems. McGruw, Thompson, and Crowe were planted 'In the outpastures, and Alcorn, Mersch, and Rohmon completed the pitching staff. 28 G.AHA This year, once more, the Girls Athletic As- sociation numbered over one hundred members. Five dances and a Play Day were sponsored in addition to the following sports: votleyball, soccer, basketball, softball, skating, bicycling, hiking, bowling, swimming, badminton, tennis, and track. ' A bowling league of 10 teams was organized in the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes. The Freshmen were placed on two other teams and bowled under the supervision of Miss Robinson. The Junior Class won the softball tournament from the Sophomores 'In a thrilling final game. Basketball honors were won by the Seniors and Juniors, while the Sophomores took the soccer tournament.

In the Millcreek Volley Interscholastic League the Kittens were active in a round robin schedule, playing each school twice. These games were played on Saturday mornings. Wyoming, the league champion, was the only team which our boys did not defeat during the season. 30 The Kittens advanced to the finals in the M. V. I.

L. tennis league, four teams were organized to compete in home- cmd-home matches. Teams of no less than 4 men, 2 men for singles, and two for doubles, were formed. Something new was added in the tennis league. For the first time girls were u'llowed to participate in the league matches, although they could not play in the district meet. GOLF Goif was again carried as a spring sport at Deer Park High School. Several matches were played with member teams of the Millcreek Valley Interscholastic League. The annual league tournament was held in May to decide the league championship. The golf squad this year consisted of several freshmen us well as upperclassmen. The team should, therefore, continue its good work next year. We feel that golf should assume a leading role in the Deer Park sports picture in the future. In the league tournament during the 1944 season the golf team made a creditable showing against experienced opposition, with the total score of the team being 383. Stan Edgemon was low mcm, shooting a 91, while Carl Benhase, George Niesz, and Matthew Haas followed with 94, 96, and 102 respectively. FIRST ROW LEFT TO RIGHT--R. Bradtish, D. Stickiand, D. Mueller.

Chorus Music hath charms and our chorus has done much to prove the truth of this old adage. Tryouts are held at the beginning of the year to replace those members lost through graduation. Under the direction of Miss Howard, re- hearsals are in session twice weekly to work out arrangements for programs or merely for the enioyment to be derived from singing. The chorus has performed for varied programs, including the Minstrel, Christmas assembly, and Baccalaureate. 33 Dramatic Club Reorganized under the able direction of Miss Ann Conrad, the Dramatics Club, Choosing the title of HThespiuns, has again won t: prominent position in school activities. The club met twice each month during the year, presenting for the meetings one- act plays, skits, and dramatic and humoru ous readings. The Highlight of the year was the all- High School production Skidding, in which a muiority of Dramatic Club mem- bers participated. BAND AND ORCHESTRA Band Under the direction of Miss Dorothy Robinson, the Deer Park Band did its best to carry on the school spirit by entertain- ing of basketball, football and baseball games, assemblies, and other school func- tions. Any student interested in beginning a musical! career took advantage of Miss Robinson's knowledge of music. Orchestra The music department is proud to add to its list of musical organizations the name Deer Park Orchestra. The orchestra, directed by Miss D. Robinson, remained fairly active throughout the year. Only students possessing marked mus- ical abilities were eligible to belong to this group, and the membership was det termined by tryouts.

Members of the Chorus chose to replace the traditional Operetta with a bluck-face-minstrel entitled t'Mississippi Boundf' Cast and directed by Miss Dorothy Howard, the acts centered around the Mississippi River front. The interlocutor introduced the varied specialty acts and, together with the four blackhface end men, kept the show running at a smooth pace. Hidden talent of many of our students was uncovered through the Minstrel. Singing, tap dancing, iitterbugging, a comedy dance, and a girl pony chorus GII were featured during the evening. A committee of six was chosen from the chorus. Members of this committee selected the title and assisted Miss Howard in the arrangement of music.

The officials who helped to secure the best of cooperation from the class members were Ross Bachman, president; Ruth Sullivan, vice president; Dolores Mueller, secre- tary; und Ethel Kemp, treasurer. Some of the duties of the class officers were to help select the class flower, the gurdeniu; the ciass colors, red and white; and the class motto, 'tTo strive, to seek, to find, but not to yield . They also helped plan Commencement and any other activities which involved the Senior Class. Their splendid work wilt long be remembered by the Senior Class and the underdassmen. 51 THE MAIN ATTRACTION ON REVIEW SEN'lOR CLASS HISTO RY After much confusion and hesitation, we are attempting to restore some of our high school memories on paper. The Class of '45 made its first appearance before the faculty and students of Deer Park High School, September 5, 1941. This year was to be well remembered by call for it was Decem- ber 7, T941, when our country entered in war with Japan and Germany. Our first social en- deavor was the Freshmen-Sophomore reception, February 18, 1942. We might note that every- one had a swell time At the beginning we pctr- ticipctted, meekly, in the S. A. A. activities, until we became acquainted with its methods. Our SOphomore year not only brought us new knowledge, but also gave us new recogni- tion in the sport field. Basketball took four of our boys, while four more received the spotlight in football. As Juniors we elected our first class officers, only to have the Navy take the first two presi- dents, Jack Hulley and Harry Dodd. We later elected Neal Sennett for the presidency and the other officers carried on their iobs efficiently. We also selected our class rings in this year. 52 The class decided upon a solid gold ring bear- ing the school emblem. This was also the First year we entered into sports on a large scale. Although the war was reducing the Deer Park male population, we had six men on the football team, seven play ing basketball, and two on the track team. One of the big thrills of the year was the JUnior-Senior Prom. Ethel Kemp was crowned Prom Queen. Now we approach our high school goal. We are now Seniors! This year we again elected class officers. The results showed the following: Ross Bachman, president; Ruth Sullivan, vice president; Dolores Mueller, secretary,- and Ethel Kemp, treasurer. A drive for money was the main thought in every Senior's mind. By means of sponsoring tiances, selling magazine subscriptions, and saving tax stamps, we were able to raise more money than any other Senior Class. There has been much excitement these last few days at Deer Park. Our commencement in- vitations and caps and gowns have arrived, thus making school like a style show. THE MIDGETS -- GUESS WHO!
