Loved by all Prof. Widrig was truly an asset to our school, and his absence was keenly felt by all after his retirement due to ill health. He died in the Veterans' Hospital at Brecksville, Ohio. He had been in our school for 14 years. and was sponsor of the Hi-Y boys for thirteen of those years. To quote a statement in the April issue of The Lantern, he was a builder of men. This page has been dedicated to Prof, Wid- rig by the boys of this year's Hi-Y, who wish to represent all of the boys who have known him and have benefited by his counsel. GENERAL STAFF To the Board of Education goes the credit for planning the many and varied maneuvers of the Galion Schools. It is no small task to plan the strategy of such an army of educational institutions. but the board, under the leader- ship of Earl Logan, president, has proved itself worthy of undying praise for their work this year. The group of interested and wholehearted supporters of our school includes: I. C. Gay, Mrs. Helen Monroe, Mrs. Florence Shaw and Herbert E. Edwards, who resigned in March because he was moving away from the City School District. The Board filled the vacancy by the appointment of Paul Durtschi, who has always had a keen interest in our schools and the youth of the city. THE ADIUTANT ISABEL MONROE Miss Monroe is not only chief aide to the head C. O. CML Povenmirej. but is also the clerk of the Board of Education. To hold those jobs it is necessary to know higher mathematics as well as tactics and general field strategy. She is the person to whom the irate captains complain when their pay checks do not come up to their expecta- tions. Poor Izzy! That is enough to make her eligi- ble ior the B. U. F. CBravery Under FireD medal. THE COLONEL THE MAJOR M. A. POVENMIRE SUPERINTENDENT OF GALION PUBLIC SCHOOLS Ohio State University-M. A, Mr. Povenmire, our chief of staff, with his brilliant strategy has done much to im- prove the standards of the school this year. His attacks against the enemies of the democratic functioning of our school have been almost as effective as General Eisenhower's attacks against the Ger- mans. Through his grand personality and untiring efforts he has won the respect and admiration of everyone. The Class of '44 salutes you, Mr. Povenmire. E. R. PICKERING PRINCIPAL OF GALION SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Ohio State University-B. S. in Ed., M. A. Our genial commanding officer, Mr. Pick- ering has carried out his orders to the limit. His terse commands over the P. A. system have been heeded by many as the height of military perfection and should put him in line for promotion. He has done a great deal to see that We get put through the proper training to make us as fine citi- zens as he has proved himself to be. Mr. Pickering has Won many friends during his years at Galion High. THE WACS IUANITA PLACK PRIM We don't know how she does it, but she does it! We mean she keeps that nice smile through a long, hard day oi answering telephone calls, an- swering students' questions, answering teachers' questions, making up Make-up slips, and sign- ing excuses for people who shouldn't be excused. Iuanita is a genial friend to students, but she can fix you with a stern eye when your reason for absence doesn't ring true. We like her a lot. IANE ANGLE Miss Angle looks most natural when wearing head- phones and trying to hear her dictaphone record at the same time that she is answering questions about where are the organ keys, and when will Mr. Povenmire be back? It's a shame to keep such a pretty blond tucked away in the office. Why can't they let her he a teacher and give the dough- boys a break! lane is certainly a nice person and we're all-out for her.

Careworn and weary from midnight Spy meetings, Iirn has brought the annual to its suc- cessful publication.

Paul would seem a quiet, demure, and good little boy, but to his friends he shows much pep and spunk. Paul is serious-mind- ed, but a laugh can be easily secured from him. Vocational Shop 3, 4. CARL BERCAW We certainly envy Carl. His new motor scooter is something special. So is Carl for that matter. Small of stature but big of heart, and just fairly beam- ing all the time-that's Berkie. To find the total number of this chap's friends, borrow an adding machine and give yourself plenty oi time. Hi-Y 2, 3, 4: Spanish Club 3. FAITHE BERRY Faithe blushes furiously at the slightest provoca- tion. She is extremely interested in music and is a valuable member of the A Capella Choir.

BARBARA BOYD For one so small Barbara seems to have a great capacity ior HZO, since every morning before the tardy bell she can be found leaning on the water fountain.

For all of the speed Bob showed on the football field. we cannot understand why he moves so slow- ly in school. It couldn't be laziness, could it Bob? He is probably the outstanding tumbler in our school. Hi-Y 2, 3. secretary 4: Varsity Football 3, 4: Basketball 2. 3, 4: Booster Board 1: Leadership Group 4.

Although she is quiet and reserved most of the time during school, her little naps during fifth period seem to refresh her so much she is an entirely different person the rest of the day. G.

WILLIAM COOK Oxley is the boy that matches wits with Carl Ber- caw every home room period over a game of chess. He can be recognized by his swift, erect, and agile mobility coming to and going from school. Through- out his school life he has been quite poised and studious, yet lately he seems to be more or less in the groove, His renewed interest seemingly lies in a red head.

IEAN COWL The girl that thought she didn't need any physical education because her physical make up now holds a master's degree. lean seems to have her future laid out for her, or rather for her it's going to be live and Dye. She also is yet one jump ahead of Mr. Pickering, the only thing he hasn't given her detention for is her osculatory acts in the hall.

He is one of our best baseball play- ers, stars at football, and holds the record for the obstacle course. He also captained the intramural champs to a decisive victory over the faculty in the basketball carnival. So. we see, next to Gloria athletics come first.

HERBERT DURTSCHI We will always remember Herbie for his last minute dashes down the hall to beat the trady bell. Pity the poor fellow who gets in front of him on these dashes for Herb was one of our fine foot- ball players. We have often wondered why H. P. D, makes so many trips to Bucyrus. Could it be a girl?

Our tip to you is to be careful if he waits on you for we hear he is a very good salesman. They say that Tippy is also a very good chemist. Is this so Mr. Swick?

K ROBERT FABIAN Undoubtedly the most valuable employee of the Central Ohio Steel Products Company, Bob also shines in the shop. helping to keep the other fel- lows happy. He always has the cat that ate the canary look on his face and the amazing thing about it is that he has good reason to do so. Bob is one of the few good dancers in our class and the girls find him a bit hard to out-maneuver. Mir- ror l: Class President 2: Reserve Football 2.

We hope our attempts at more democratic procedure will be followed by other classes and expanded as the years go by. Outstanding events of the year were our splendid class play. the P. T. A. party for Seniors and parents, and our tempestuous class meetings. We certainly salute our class officers tor doing a splendid job this year. Emery, Ruth, Carol and Henry were always willing to work to the limit to go over the top for the Class of '44. Mr. Swick has kept a kindly eye upon us and has proved an ideal sponsor-never intruding, but always there just in casel! Well, it's been great to be together all these years, taking basic training, winning our stripes and bars. We'll remember it always with pleasure, and some day when we look at a yellow- ing diploma, we'll sigh, Oh, icr the good old days in the G. H. S. barracks!

W2 THE SERGEANTS IUNIOR OFFICERS CHARLES NESS, Vice-President CHARLES GRIEBLING, President ELAINE BOOP, Treasurer PEGGY SMITH, Secretary HISTORY OF THE SERGEANTS They always play up the sergeants for being so big and boisterous-well. here is a class that oversteps the bounds when it comes to noise. It can well be said that there is never a dull moment when there is a junior around. They have gone into everything full tilt and have done a grand job of it. There is always a great deal of puffing and snorting in the junior cliques when or- ders come out of headquarters about K. P. duty, 8th period. Next year promises to be most interesting for the future Looies, especial- ly when they start running wild on the many duties confronting them. It hasn't taken them long to catch on to the methods used for being A. W. O. L. and getting by with it. None of them seem to have a whole lot of trouble get- ting those three-day passes. After all, we can't kick. They've shown us a wonderful time at the Iunior- Senior Reception, and that is no small job, especially these days. But what does a little thing like rationing mean to a bunch of battle scarred sergeants with o: capable C. O. like Miss Tracht and a snappy bunch of leaders like Griebling, Ness, Smith and Boop?

THE CORPORALS SOPHOMORE OFFICERS IOHN VOSSERS, Vice-President CHARLES DICKHART, President IOANNE CARMEL, Treasurer MARIAN CRISSINGER. Secretary HISTORY OF THE CORPORALS Here are the Corporals of the high school division, picked on by their super- ior oiiicers, the lordly sergeants and lieutenants, raved and ranted at by the austere captains, but wearing their stripes proudly, nevertheless. In Septem- ber they were so pleased with themselves for having arrived at their new barracks and so delighted that those arduous days of basic training were really past, that it took them weeks to settle down to the routine of non-com life. Charles Dickhart was chosen as chief of the Corporals and made a fine presi- dent. Iohn Vossers was vice-president: Marian Crissinger, secretary, and Ioanne Carmel, treasurer. Working with Miss Helen Simth, class sponsor, these officers can be credited with planning a successful year. The great event of the year, the Sophomore Hop, was held on the night of April 15, in the gymnasium which was decorated lavishly in the class colors of blue and white. The scene represented a carnival in full swing and there were concession booths galore. Refreshments were appropriate to the setting -wieners, pop, candied apples, suckers, sandwiches and ice cream cones. Dancing was enjoyed throughout the evening and a delightful program proved there is an abundance of talent in the group. Now awaiting promotion, the little corporals say, Iust wait until we're ser- geants! Will we be tough, and will we show 'em!

A class of willing and studious boys and girls, they were able to keep the standards set before them. Four issues of the Galion Iunior High School Mirror were published by the journalism class this year, with the help of Miss Elizabeth Line, an earn- est sponsor. In return for their splendid efforts, the journalism class held an enjoyable party March 24, in the junior high school auditorium. The Freshmen have had an excellent record in athletics this year, placing boys on the varsity, and the freshman team winning over upper-classmen. This year the class chose Miss Ollie Brick as its sponsor. Other returns from the class election showed that Ioe McManes had been elected president, Ralph Ramsey, vice-president, Lynn Heskett, secretary, and Daniel King. treasurer. On May 19, the class held its annual party. The Prom, as it is better known, was a great success, with beautiful decorations, good music, and de- licious food. The great day of the year was May 26. commencement day, when Mr. Pat- terson presented the class to Mr. Pickering. Mr. Povenmire then presented each member of the class a promotion certificate. -by Barbara Shaffer.

Ieannette Sperry, Henry Stough, Miss Sayre, Daniel Ritchey, Marjorie Wilson THE SPY EDITORIAL STAFF After very efficiently messing up Miss Sayre's home, the 1944 Spy staff gave in. The war for them is over, but it was fun while it lasted. A more bedrag- gled bunch never took a breath of air! They started out with light hearts and their heads full of ideas. Going on their merry way, the Spy staff de- voured paper after paper, cokes, potato chips and pretzels, finally sinking into Miss Sayre's favorite divan with no work done. How did the work get done? That can be answered by the statement that some traitor allowed a conscientious worker to enter. Now that the staff has nothing to do in the evenings, how they'11 miss the refreshments.

THE SPY BUSINESS STAFF No doubt if we were to have a picture taken of the business staff now, you would recognize none of them. They have over-sold the books, have se- cured too many pages of ads, and have run everyone in the office ragged in trying to get out ot school. They've given everyone a run for his money and they've done a fine job.

The whole thing lies in the fact that the picture was taken first period in the a. m. The first two rows contain our sponsor and officers, first man in the third row is Charles Ganshorn, in charge of the Hi-Y Bulletin Board. Paul Cron- enwett is our publicity chairman, and Earl Miller, figuratively speaking, is our truant officer. In the fourth row, Robert Ginder, who is in charge of refreshments: Robert Garverick and Donald Wolfelt, who made arrange- ments ior many of our meetings. Last we have Ronald Rick, in charge of de- votionals: Richard Sprow and Charles Griebling taking care of many varied arrangements, including details pertaining to the Sweetheart Party. The Hi-Y Cabinet was the leadership group for the club this year. The main thorn in their side was trying to establish and carry out a definite plan of parliamentary law. Much more has been accomplished by this method and they hope it can be carried on. Plans for all Hi-Y activities originated and details were worked out in this cabinet, and they have made all their decisions satisfactory to the club as a whole.

The objective now is an Honor Roll for all past graduates of Galion High School. It is the hope that the club in the fol- lowing years can carry this project to completion. According to custom, the Hi-Y sponsored the Thanksgiving assembly, and also revived the Father and Son Banquet. The final social activity for the year was the Sweetheart Party, which was held on May 6. The 1944-45 of- ficers were installed at that time. The club deeply regrets the loss of Mr. Widrig, known as Prof. to all of the fellows. Our present sponsor, Mr. Probst, has taken over his duties and has done a fine job. We hope all may go as well next year, as there is much planned. Our officers for the year were: President, Herbert Durtschi: Vice President, James Angell: Secretary, Robert Caris: Treasurer, John Jenkins: Sergeant-at Arms, Earl Miller. G. R.

GIRL RESERVES Highlights of the Girl Reserves program this year have been the monthly night meetings, which included a faculty banquet in October in charge of the program committee. The mother and daughter banquet usually held in the spring was foregone in favor of an informal get-together in November. The meeting was in charge of the music and dramatic committees. Members of the service and budget committees arranged the Christmas party and exchange. The climax of the seasonal activities was the annual presentation of the Spirit of Peace. A purely social evening planned by the publicity committee was held in Ianuary. With red and black hearts forming the appropriate background for the col- ortul formals of the dancers, the G. R. sweetheart party was a lovely occa- sion. Dancing was to the music of Don Brokaw and his orchestra. The eve- ning was planned by the social committee. The April meeting was arranged by the membership committee for the purpose of initiating new members into the club. The final meeting was occasioned by the ring committee in tribute to the senior members.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Scholarship, leadership, service and character are the high standards set by the National Honor Society. The officers for this school year 1943-44 were: Marjorie Wilson, president: Shirley Knable. vice president: Barbara Casey, secretary-treasurer: Donald Shifley, chaplain: Barbara Boyd and Walter Karnes, sergeants-at-arms. The club members in cooperation with their sponsor, Miriam Sayre, initiated many new ideas which made for a more efficient and democratic club. Among these were the dances held by the Society. At the October dance one of the leading events of the year, the crowning of a football queen took place. ' Members were also chosen by cr different method than were those of pre- vious years. The students and the faculty voted for the students who were eligible according to the constitution of the club. Five Iuniors from which the future officers were selected and sixteen seniors were elected. A dance voted upon by the new members was held the latter part of the school year at the Hotel Talbott. The formal initiation for the new members took place there.

QUILL AND SCROLL The one big event of the Quill and Scroll took place in March and was the sponsorship of a Kiddie party, at which everyone who carne had to wear clothes appropriate to the name. Among the amusements participated in were scooter riding, drop the handkerchief, red rover, tag, and dancing. The party was cr success and everybody went home reassured that the Quill and Scroll was still in existence. ,At the first of May the new members were taken in at a private initiation ceremony.

The real title of the F. H. A. has a very dignified sound-Future Homemakers of Amer- ica. Concentrate on your work girls, we're all for it. The more you learn about cooking and keeping house the more comfortable you can make the life of some poor G. I. We hear rumors, too, that you practice bathing a rubber baby. We wager that that's a slippery customer. The Future Homemakers of America discuss the problems of home life with their sponsor, Miss Helen Smith, at their meetings which are held twice a month in the home economics rooms. The club has done much to promote good will and friendship among the girls. Special emphasis has been placed on the teaching of thrift, planning nutritious meals and the proper care of the home. The officers of the club are, Ioan Cook, president: Thelma Lamb, vice pres- ident: Lucile Somerlot, secretary-historian: Naomi Girton, treasurer: Kathryn Smith, news reporter. Virgene Taylor was elected state treasurer of the F. H. A. for the year 1943-44, a distinct honor for the local chapter. Row 1 Row 2 Iames Angell, Barbara Casey, Marjorie Wilson, Naomi Girton.

LEADERSHIP GROUP The Congress of the United States has nothing on Galion Senior High. The Leadership group, representing every student organization of the school. is believed to be the beginning of very active participation by students in the formulating of local school laws and solving of student problems. This group assumed the responsibility ot making all arrangements for the pre- sentation of The Barber of Seville, which was given by The American Civic Opera Company, February 14. The presidents of all school organizations, the team captains. the class pres- idents, and the president of each homeroom, comprising the membership of the Leadership group, met at intervals to discuss current school problems and to give their opinions as to how they might be solved. Through this group, each student may express any improvements which he believes necessary and a mutual student-administration understanding has been de- veloped. That this organization may continue to function even more successfully is the wish of the entire student body. Row Row Row Row Row 5.. l-Grace Heiser, Marjorie Staub, Alice Younce, Ieanne Lohr.

Not only did they shine as a brilliant march- ing unit, with their many colorful formations and snappy music, but they excelled in concert work as well. The band, under the leadership of Fredolf Liddell, has given two concerts and by the end of the year will probably have given another one. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the band was that of bringing Dr. Simon. a noted cornetist, and a man having the distinction of playing first cornet in Iohn Phillip Sousa's band, to Galion as guest conductor for one of the spring concerts. Dr. Simon played a solo number on his cornet and one on an English coach horn. The band will long remain in the minds of the students and perhaps the one number outstanding in our memories will be the band's version of Stormy Weather. DRUM MAJOR Another of the traditions of G. H. S. has been broken, For the first time in the history of our school we have had a feminine drum major, and a very capable one at that. Mary Ann Gledhill deserves much credit for stepping into male shoes and leading the band through its many paces. Mary had excellent co-operation from the band because of her pleasing personality and her 5'8 height, dark hair and slim figure, all were added factors in her success. MAIORETTES Led by our Drum Major, Mary Ann Gledhill, the Majorettes, lithe and grace- ful, dressed in their swirling cream colored attire, presented a colorful pic- ture as they came strutting down the field, heads high, batons in hand. Adept in their art, they gave a splendid exhibition ot performing the more difficult techniques with their twirling batons. Although the idea of rnajorettes started only three years ago, they have al- ready become a permanent institution in our school lite. Ieanne Ulmer, Norma Wright.

A CAPELLA CHOIR Galion High may Well be proud of the splendid progress made by the A Ca- pella Choir during the past several years under the direction of Jeanette Slocum. Voice development and tone quality have been developed to a great extent and with eight additional robes which the choir purchased, the sixty voice choir is fast establishing a traditional series of presentations. The choir appeared in their annual concert on February 24, opening the vocal music concert season. The Easter Cantata was given on March 26 and the choir assisted in the Pre-Easter assemblies. The season closed with their iinal appearance at Baccalaureate Services. The concert season does not begin until the latter part of the school year because the choir must spend the early months in rehearsals, which are sometimes temporarily interrupted by sporting events, rendering beautiful voices harsh and rasping. But school spirit is a necessary part of school life. Seriously, the choir is a conscientious group which is interested in improved and better music for Galion.

VICTORY SINGERS The Victory Singers is an organization which was newly formed this year and is a vocal group in keeping with the war spirit, made up of girls who are willing to give out-of-school time for rehearsals and performances. The fifteen girls form a V when singing. Their appearance is particularly striking since they are attired in write tormals with red, white and blue bows in their hair. The girls sing both patriotic and classical numbers. The Victory Singers have appeared on a number of programs, including the P. T. A. meetings, Easter assemblies and the Founder's Day program. They are much in demand, and despite loss of senior members, will prob- ably function next year. The group is under the direction of Ieanette Slocum. Eunice Hanlon is the accompanist and will also be lost by graduation. i wwe v -lr . , .. ,, .t, 1, .. , I , , ,. .

Liddell, and rehearsals began in September, the plan being to use part of the noon hour and the activity period immediately following. The entire orchestra met three or four times each week, devoting part of the time to the stringed instruments as a string ensemble. The orchestra participated in a number of programs, including the Novem- ber East P. T. A. meeting, the Junior class play Cstring ensernblej, the Or- chestra Festival held at Upper Sandusky, the Senior class play, two Sun- day afternoon concerts, and commencement exercises. Our orchestra offers a splendid opportunity for advanced students to become acquainted with a higher type of music. It is hoped that the outstanding work which the orchestra has done in the past year will continue, and that in fu- ture years the orchestra will become as much a part of the school activities as other branches of the musical department.

Mary Ann Gledhill, Shirley Knable, Winona Lehman, Robert Ginder SENIOR CLASS PLAY One of the outstanding events of the spring was the presentation of Every Family Has One, a comedy in three acts, by George Batson. The second dra- matic production staged by the members of the class of '44 proved quite suc- cessful because of the cooperation between the cast and its director, Miss Kathryn Harris, and also the work of the various committees. Every Family Has One, presented on April 28, is the story of the Reardon's, who comprise a typical, though hilarious American family. Laura, the social climbing mother, is quite happy because of having engineered the engage- ment of her daughter, Marcia, to wealthy Sherwin Parker. Nana, the grand- mother, would like to get Mrs. Parker to evacuate their premises. Penelope, the eleven year old daughter, handy with a sling shot and lover of boogie- woogie, adds many mirthful moments, while Warry, a would be Eugene O'Neill, decides that Cousin Lily who pulls skeletons out of the Reardon's family closet and frightens off the Parker family, is really the girl for him. It all ends happily when Marcia is reunited with Todd, the boy she really loves.

IUNIOR CLASS PLAY The Iunior Class produced Happy Landings this year as their class play. Miss Kathryn Harris directed the presentation. The three-act comedy by Kath- erine Kavanaugh concerned the trials and tribulations of the Stackpooles, average American family, when they become involved with a lady from Par-ee in the person of Shirley Kirtland: a modest professor, Paul Finical: a romantic aviator, Leiv Oxaal: his co-pilot, Ioe lack, and a mad Russian, Ronald Rick. The whole procedure was watched over by Miss Sabrina of the Ladies' Lit- erary Society, Persis Townsend, and Miss Busby, her friend and imitator, Dorothy Ross. Members ofthe Stackpoole household included Mrs. Stackpoole, Arlene Cranerp Mr, Stackpoole, Charles Ness: Barbara, their daughter, Patricia Brown: Iuliet, the colored maid, Beverly Bates: Washington Iones, Iuliet's boy friend, Richard Ness. The whole thing ends happily when Barbara gets the aviator. Miss Fifi gets the modest professor. and the house settles down to normal.

The bright idea originated among the master minds of the National Honor Society, who sponsored the after-game dance at which these pictures were taken. Adair Durtschi, popular sophomore, was the choice of the stalwarts for queen. Marjorie Wilson, president of the N. H. S., introduced Adair and presented her the bouquet. Then Captain Shaffer took over and presented her the gift of the team, an autographed football. Picture one shows Emery in characteristic pose just before his memorable get-away. When the chant, We want to see Shaffer dance with the football queen, threatened the rafters, you couldn't see Emery for dust. Picture two shows Coach Lymper substituting for his erstwhile halfback. He seems to be enjoying it, too. G. R. SWEETHEART PARTY Outstanding among social affairs this year was the G. R. Sweetheart Party. These pictures show the dance in full swing, with most of the guests sitting out most of the dances. We wanted a picture of the grand march, but Ioe's trusty camera jammed and although we kept them marching around the gym eight or nine times, he couldn't get a snap. As he prowled about dur- ing the evening he flashed these handsome groups. Picture one shows a bunch of scintillating seniors. The boys, surprisingly, don't look too bored at being dragged to a shindig, and the girls just love a festive occasion. The men are Schreck, Ritchey and Ienkins and their smil- ing best gals, Carol Hocker, Shirley Knable and Barbara Casey. The second shot shows in the foreground those well known steadies Vir- ginia Tracht and Dick Sipes in a gay mood, and in the background Emery Shaffer Cwith his hair combed, and golly he's wearing a tiej and the dame who really tackled him, Marjorie Staub. Group three is a surprise package. Believe it or not, that's Griebling with a girl, Dorothy Ross. The other couple is a super blond-brunette combination, Persis Townsend and Big Garverick. Believe us, that next outfit is a screwy gang! Leiv Oxaal and Elaine Roop always have something to laugh about, and there are the co-editors of the Lantern together-Peg Smith and Paul Finical. We'll bet that the conversa- tion thus interrupted was highly intellectual. Ieanne Ulmer tried a new hair-do for the event-we think it's called the Ubangi swirl. Pry seems to like it. Don't those two ever tire of each other's company? Now there's a gabby crew! Of course with Pat Walker, Ioan Korb, and Gin- der chattering all the time poor Neff doesn't get a chance. McGuire insisted upon taking two shots of the dancing couples. He really wanted to get the fence in the picture because the girls on the decorating committee forced the poor boy to put it up for them. Being only a soph., Ioe couldn't refuse. lust after the shots were taken the fence collapsed! Get a load of Plack and Alice Younce trying some fancy steps. That last group consists of Ruth Ricker beaued by Weithman, and Cronen- wett paired with Diana Helfrich. Diana looks like an infant with that lollypop. How 1 1. 2. There seems to be a little extra confusion on this play. This will give you a good idea of the determination of our fellows: maybe someone did get a signal crossed, but they sure tried to cover it up. Mind you, they did a good job too. After looking at this picture you may understand how our janitors save us so much work. Be careful Ollie, don't drop that chair. Row 2- l. 2. 3. Making their first appearance during the basketball season, our junior cheerleaders proved themselves quite capable of carrying on yelling chores when the senior graduates leave. Here are some of our school patriots at work. They did a swell job and we Wish to commend them for it. We do wonder if the hat Mr. Povenmire is wearing belongs to the scrap? This shows quite Well how some of our industrious seniors spend their activity periods on Monday. We suppose that they are darn glad they were caught by the photographer and not by Mr. Pickering. Row 3- 1. 2. Don Pugh, our fighting halfback, finds a nice hole in the Shelby line and slides through for a nice gain. Dick couldn't be holding, on that play could he?

Prof. Swick appears to have taken cover already. Row 4- l. 2. 3. Please don't take this snap seriously: very seldom does anyone get in such a serious position in chem lab. The sum total of that hard labor may be explained fully in the stench that followed. CHZSD. They say that kind'a work makes muscle, but you'll have to ask Doc about that. He's sure slinging the stuff around. They kept plenty of the boys busy in the scrap drive. Bob better lower his landing gear pretty quick or it'll be a spot land- ing. It's O. K., he made it, and a darn good job at that. What's a little thing like a broken rudder! Row 5- 1. 2. Almost but not quite is our title for this picture. The boys got this far against the N. C. O. champs but couldn't get that extra foot. We won- der if Henry is looking for someone out there? H. P. D. seems to be getting the worst of this event, if you carefully scrutinize it you can detect his presence under an avalanche of snow. What would the Warden say? STRICTLY G. I. FROM OUR FAR-FLUNG BATTLEFRONTS The best story of the year has to do with the little party held at Ivan Mein- zer's one afternoon. It seems that tttfftt came along as an uninvited guest. Looks as if he was taking over the duties of our truant officer. Another news item that comes before our eyes and the eyes of the world is the battle of words. In this corner the little man with the big nose ftftff and in this. one of our best athletes. The winner-? Our next bit of news concerns our Fellowship-Cwhoops, we mean Leader- shipD Group. They wish to thank a certain member of the group, namely for the fine Way he has given them a chance to state their opinions. We would like to mention a funny little incident that happened to one of our senior boys during the month of April, CApril 12, to be exactj. He bragged that he Wouldn't receive a paddling on his birthday. Ask MMM what hap- pened in the first period Trig. class. Here's a article of limited interest. What happened after W. E. 'tttftttf made an announcement pertaining to student ttfttt over the P. Af? Why was everything so quiet all of a sudden? Could it be possible that there are lim- ited, or should we say, restricted, movements in our school. P. S.-Where did W. E. Tgfifxli spend the rest of the afternoon? We wish to award the D. S. M. to Mr. Hftttt for his meritorious service, above and beyond the call of duty, in helping Mr. ttttft to restrain the two recal- citrant juniors during one of our assemblies. After being severely bawled out, Criss left the office after the senior es- capade on March 23, weeping profusely because he had been denied the privilege of going to the Kiddie Dance. Oh, why did Pickering go to Chicago? Things have been altogether too quiet since the senior panel talked to the senior high P. T. A. on April 18. We'd like to know what happened. What is it they say about Miss taking the wind out of Mr. ftftttttk sails'?' And who won in the clock argument? Nobody tells us anything. After a period of several months the G. R. seems to have a sponsor again. We never did find out what was really behind the row between Mt tf and Miss fH0'fM, but it certainly caused a disturbance. What goes now? Every time Tippy little woman hears our basket- ball coach's name mentioned she mutters something unpleasant under her breath and then begins to demonstrate how she is going to tell him off. Did they have a difference about somethingffftttt? It seems that the poor sophomores are still in a daze trying to figure out the problem of evolution. They say, How do you expect us to figure it out when these teachers can't agree? First they go to 314 and Mr. Mtfft tells them one thing, and then they go to 207 where Miss ttfttff tells them some- thing else. Poor sophomores! Stubborn teachers!

OUR FIGHTIN' FOOTBALLERS ROBERT CARIS Robert was one of the fastest boys on this year's team. In several games this year he showed us this speed when he carried the hall. He was a fine ball carrier and part of the time he called signals. We are sorry that we lose Bob by graduation. HARVEY COULTER Harvey proved to be one of the biggest and tough- est boys on the squad this year. He was noted for his hard work on the practice field. Harvey de- lighted in piling the opponents' plays up at the line of scrimmage. He will be back next year. ED DOUGHERTY Eddie was the best passer on the squad this year. Never did a game go by that you did not find him in on the firing line, pitching them with accuracy. He let neither his lack of size nor experience handi- cap him. We lose Eddie by graduation this spring. HERBERT DURTSCHI Trying to run through Durtschi's guard was like trying to run through the wall of China. Herb played a very excellent defensive game this year and his blocking was much appreciated by the backfield. Herb received All-N. C. O. first team and All-Ohio mention. This is his last year. RICHARD DURTSCHI Richard was a fine blocker and tackler. Many times he stopped plays that looked like sure gains for the opposition. He gained a lot of experience this year and he will be in next year's forward wall. ROBERT GARVERICK Bob was one of the biggest boys on the squad and he used his size to advantage. We predict that Bob will be one of the toughest boys in the league next year. He is a junior. CHARLES GRIEBLING Doc was elected captain of the 1944 football team. He is a hard fighter and a great blocker, often clearing the way for touchdowns for the running backs. He was honored with N. C. O. mention. IAMES HOEKSTRA Iim played second string tackle most of the year. However, his fine defensive work in practice earned him the right to play the biggest part of several games. He will be in there next fall. IOHN IENKINS Iohn was one of the hard fighting. never-say-die linemen. Although not spectacular, he was one of our most steady players. His great strength lies in his offensive blocking. He graduates this year. WALTER KARNES This was Walter's first year at football, and this lack oi experience kept him from making the team. However. with dogged perseverence, he was still in there when the final gun ended the season. lf anyone earned a letter for football, Walter did. IOE McGUIRE If Ioe A-had not been injured early in the season he would undoubtedly have been one of the main- springs of the Galion team. We hope this injury to Ioe's back will not hinder his playing in the next two years. SALVADOR MEDRANO Salvador has been known in the league for the past two years because of his fine defensive play at his end position. His play in the Ashland game was spectacular and he was placed on the second All-N. C. O. team. Salvador is a senior. ROBERT MYERS Bob played half-back this year and although he didn't play as much as some of the boys. when he was called upon he always gave us a good brand of football. Bob will be lost by graduation. GENE PLUMMER Gene filled right into McGuire's place when Ioe was injured. He was Galion's leading pass receiv- er. All those who saw him catch the pass that tied the score at Ashland will not soon forget him. Gene has another year at G. H. S. DON PUGH Don, although lacking in size. played the full-back position as well as any 200 pounder. What he lacked in size was made up in superior courage. He was one of the best blockers and tacklers on the team. Don is a sophomore this year. RALPH RAMSEY Ralph was only a freshman this year but he played plenty of football just the same. Our sug- gestion is that you keep an eye on this boy the next three years. He's going places. EMERY SHAFFER Left Half-back. Emery was the man the team chose to lead the Orangemen on the warpath. He proved his worth in leadership and heads-up football. This year's football team owes much of its success to Emery in many different ways. He was chosen on the All-N. C. O. first team. He is a senior. . DICK SIPES Dick played very fine football for Galion this year. He sacrificed personal glory for better team spirit, as his quiet, yet efficient way of playing football is very outstanding. He received All-N. C. O. men- tion. This is Dick's last year at G. H. S. HENRY STOUGH Hank was not only a big factor in the team's good season this year by his fine play on the field, but also in his fine team spirit. He would no doubt have been placed on the League team except for the injury which kept him out much of the season. ART THOMAN Art is one of those happy-go-lucky fellows around school, but once in a football suit. Art is a fight- ing demon, His sensational tackles were very sat- isfying to the home fans. Art will be back next year to get revenge on the Goliaths from Marion. JOHN WISLER Iohn, although small and inexperienced this year. gave us some fine play. As the year progressed he kept showing improvement and gained the right to start games over upper-classmen. We expect much from Iohn next year. DON WOLFELT Red played in the line on offense, but played in the backfield on defense. His biggest disappoint- ment was when they called his 60 yard dash to the goal-line back in the Calvert game. THE VARSITY BASKET SHOOTERS CLARENCE CRISSINGER Criss was one ot the taller boys on the squad. He never gave up and never tailed to roll sev- eral ot his famous hook shots through the rim. Criss is a senior and we are sure to miss his fine play and big smile. ROBERT GARVERICK Garverick delighted in breaking up plays tor the tirst team in practice. Although Bob was a substitute, he saw action in almost all oi the games this year. His best shot was when he swished 'em through from the center of the court. He will probably be one oi the main springs for the next year's squad. Bob is only a junior this year. EARL MILLER Peanut, our high scoring forward. led the team in scoring this year. Although small in stature, he always provided the crowd with a thrill as he dropped them through the hoop from mid-court. Earl was eighth in N. C. O. scoring. IOE MCGUIRE Ioe was new to the squad this year and has proved to be a iast and hard working center. He will be a valuable man in next year's bas- ketball lineup. Ioe is a sophomore. WILLIAM NEFF Bill was the tallest man on our squad this year. Part way through the season the boys gave him the nickname ot Shortie. Bill always played a big part in Galion victories. He was a very dependable player all year, showing up especially well in his passing and in his rebound work. RALPH RAMSEY Ralph is a quick-witted, happy-go-lucky guard. He is really a thorn in the opponents' side and delights in ribbing the other team. Ralph would be a spark plug on any team. He is only a freshman and we expect great things from him in the iuture. EARL DYE Tippy was probably the best passer on the team. He gave us some of the cleverest ball handling ever seen on our tloor. Earl loved to intercept passes and in some games made the fans think he was playing for the opponents because of intercepting so many of their passes. Besides his other fine play, he also had one of the best shot percentages on the squad. Earl is a senior this year and we lose him by grad- uation. ROBERT NEFF Bob is only a sophomore this year but he gave us very good ball. He played part of the sea- son with the Iayvees: however, when his chance came to step up to the varsity, he seized the opportunity and showed the crowd the type oi ball he could play. Bob should cause the opponents plenty oi trouble the next two years. GENE PLUMMER Gene gave us some oi our best basketball this season. Fans will long remember the Crestline game when Gene seemed to be all over the floor picking ot-1 Crestline passes. He is a junior and we are expecting plenty irom him next year. EMERY SHAFFER Emery was one of the best offensive men on the Galion team this year, His quick action shots thrilled the spectators: his smooth play was the outstanding feature of Emery's game. He re- ceived the honor oi being placed on the All- N. C. O. second team. WILLIAM STONER Punk, without doubt, was one ot the best de- fensive players in the league. Although not a very tall boy Bill always managed to get more than his share of the rebounds. When- ever the game was close Bill was at his best. It will seem strange not to see Bill on the floor next year, as he has played tor three years on the varsity. We lose Bill by graduation this spring.

TEAMS HAVE SATISFACTORY SEASONS Our football season started out with a real bang this year when the scores of the first few games threatened the century mark. The real defeat came when we met our ever-unpopular opponent, Marion. Not only did we suffer defeat in score, but our team was weakened for future games through the many personal injuries to our players. The real upset of the year came very unexpectedly at the end of the season when We tied Ashland. Our final game was played against Willard in a con- glomeration of snow and mud, making it exciting for both the players and spectators. This year's team was very fortunate in having capable substitutes upon whom they could rely. The following boys saw much service during the year, al- though they did not play enough to earn their letters: Neil Cerreto, Iohn Weitthoff, Dick Lyons, Iohn Vossers, lack Ferguson, Bill Monroe, Alexander Medrano, George Stoner, Dick Logan, Clarence Lucius, Bill Dorian and Mau- rice Riter. The official report for the season was: 5 victories, 2 ties and 2 losses. This year our basketball squad came through in true fighting style. It all added up to ll victories and 9 defeats. We had a very scrappy gang and it really made our games interesting. It took team work to gain those victories. and every man was in there pulling for G. H. S. The team was handicapped from the beginning because of their small size, but their speed, versatility and tenacity brought them through. The peak of the season was during late December and early Ianuary. There are six varsity players returning next year, and it should prove to be a very successful season. Also the Iunior Varsity gave some fine exhibitions of basketball this winter. From their ranks should come some good varsity material for next year. On Friday, April 21, the mothers of the basketball squad held a banquet for the players. The Honorary Captain and the Most Valuable Player for the year were announced, Earl Miller as captain and Bill Neff, most valuable player. W. H. Anderson, head coach of Bowling Green University, was guest speaker for the evening and motion pictures were shown. Later the varsity G let- ters were awarded to Emery Shaffer, Bill Stoner, Earl Dye, Earl Miller, Bill Neff, Clarence Crissinger, Gene Plummer, Bob Garverick, Charles Griebling. Ioe McGuire, Ralph Ramsey, and to Manager Eugene Hayes. s A . ' f ROBERT SHEFFER HOWARD DEPPEN JAMES LYMPER COACH SHEFFER This was Shefi's third year in Galion. He came here in 1941 as assistant coach of basketball and football teams. Last year he took over the head coach's basketball duties and gave us a fine team. This year's team came up with even a better record. Sheff always has a joke that adds to practice sessions and is liked by all of his boys. ASSISTANT COACH DEPPEN Mr. Deppen came to us this year as our assistant coach in both football and basketball. He has given us very good reserve teams this year. Mr. Deppen likes to be with the boys and they all like him. He is a hard worker and we wish him lots of success in the future. COACH LYMPER Mr. Lymper is our head baseball and football coach. He has served at this job for the past two years and has done it very successfully. He has given us a new football system that has produced much improved teams. We are all very well satisfied with his work. Mr. Lymper is also our physical education director and is well respected for his commando courses. Nancy Myers, Barbara Leiby, Barbara Boyd.

CHEERLEADERS The class of 1944 salutes the cheerleaders as they have done a splendid job of helping to keep up the morale of the boys out on the playing field and floor. Those cheers mean a lot to the boys. we hear. Having three veterans from two years back for teachers, the new cheerleaders soon learned their yells and actions and with a crew of seven. there was never a dull mo- ment during a game, Came on now, yell LOUD! in that convincing way would make even the quietest student want to cheer to the best of his ability for good old G.

This end is accomplished by the physical education program in which all girls have a part. Basketball is the favorite sport among the girls although volleyball, bowl- ing, baseball and field hockey also rank high. Team competition provides an incentive to win in regular gym classes as well as in the intramural tour- naments which are held in the various sports. In the intramural basketball tournament, Edith Lowe's team, consisting of Betty Foust, Ruby Shook, Pat Iones, Elaine Roop, Mary Lou Metzger, Ieanne Powers and Mary Tuscan received top honors. In tournaments between the classes, the juniors won over the other three classes. The junior team is com- posed of Edith Lowe, Peggy Smith, Ruby Shook, Mary Tuscan, Jeanne Pow- ers, Mary Lou Metzger, Elaine Boop and Margie Knorr. Something new in the form of bowling teams caught the interest of many girls as they rolled off the 12 games, with a team of seniors coming out un- defeated, these seniors being Marjorie Wilson, captain: Ruth Ricker, leanne Ulmer, Ioan Korb, and Pat Walker. Six teams bowled in this tournament on Monday evenings after school. A ping-pong tournament among 22 girls was played off during study hall periods, home room and after school. The boys may be toughtened by their obstacle courses, but the girls are close behind with several very good scores. BASEBALL As we go to press, the baseball season is just beginning. All signs point to a promising season. Coach Iames Lymper has a veteran infield, two outfield- ers and a catcher back on the squad. The big weakness will probably be pitching. Iames Tompkins, rated as one of the best high school pitchers in the state, has entered the armed service. Coach Lymper had planned to use him frequently, but believes that the team's batting power and tight defense will offset the difference. The team's No. 1 pitcher will probably be William Stoner. In early practice he has shown considerable speed and perfect con- trol. With a little experience, Coach Lymper looks for him to develop into a fine pitcher. Other hurlers who have shown some promise and will see serv- ice are Edwin Carmel, knuckle ball artist: Emery Shaffer, curve ball pitcher, and William Dorian. The infield is made up of seasoned players. Emery Shaffer at third base: Edwin Carmel, shortstop, Donald Wolfelt, second base: Robert Tucker, a converted outfielder at first base. This should be one of the finest fielding in- fields Galion High has had in a long time. Returning to the outfield, we have Edwin Dougherty, who for two years has covered plenty of ground in center field. Team members believe this will be a good year for Eddie. In left field will be a sophomore, lames Fendrich, who has gained the respect of the whole team with his fine hitting. In right field will be Iohn Wisler. He also is inexperienced but is developing swiftly. With this lineup and a promising array of substitutes Galion feels sure of a good share of victories this 1944 season. INTRAMURALS Under the direction of Coach Lymper, intramurals have become a very im- portant factor in our school life. A very well planned schedule has been the biggest improvement in the intramural program. Basketball and softball seemed to gain the most interest among the games played. Considerable time was spent playing off the basketball tournament, and after a long bat- tle Captain Dougherty's team was on top. This team consisted of Karnes, R. Stoner, Durtschi, Pry and Griebling. The intramurals were played off after school and usually were well attended by the students who turned out to boost their favorites.
