ffl 1' Q UTICA A !!AR'S PROGRESS An increased enrolment, due to the inclusion of the Martinsburg and Morgan Township districts, an enlarged faculty, school-furnished textbooks, and a full-time school secretary have combined to make this a progressive year for Utica H1gh.S6hoo1. A separate shop was provided for manual training. A larger room and additional typewriters improved the commercial department. Blth the addition of two new instructors, physical education became-a part of every pupil's schedule program. A defin- ite step in the direction of visual education was taken with the purchase of a projector, made pos- sible by an intensive magazine drive. ORGANIZATIONS The Student Council sponsored a Halloween par- ty, a traveling colored entertainers' show, various outside and local chapel entertainments, and a series of talks by pupils and teachers on the coun- ty citizenship project. The Inksplash Staff enjoyed a successful tenth year of studying journalism in conjunction with the local newspaper. Three groups, each headed by an editor, contended in editing the Inksplash on successive weeks. The Commercial Club, organized this year, is open to any member taking at least one commercial subject. Guest speakers talked on their particu- lar business fields. The newly organized Damrosch Music Club, a member of the Federation of Junior Music Clubs, has successfully filled a need for deeper musical appreciation. The Northwest Territory Celebration suggested the theme for the 1958 BUILDER. Colored illustra- tions of pioneer days added to its attractiveness. SPORTS Redskins booting the pigskin for Utica were: nDutchn williams, Waldo Mayer, nRbd' Booth, Earl Booth, Bob Young, John Hutton, Harold Tharp, Mathias, Rudolph Matz, Dan John Mantonya, Bob Dunlap, Bob Weston, David Douglass, Carl Weston, Harold Manager. The warriors Law, and George Fehndrick, did not bring home many scalps this year. The varsity basketball team, losing only four games, placed third-in the cou ty. Not one of these four games was lost by over three points-- a record of which to be proud. The positions 1 i -,-.--in onc.ANnzAT10NS left vacant by two seniors, Snoke and Weston, will be hard to fill. Sncke was made captain of the sec- ond county team. Waldo Mathias and Ed Reynolds re- ceived honorable mention. With Stan Martin coach, the quintet reached the district semi-finals at West- erville. Other members of the squad were: Allen Deusohle, John Mantonya, Robert Young, Harold Tharp, Harold Law, Carl Weston, John Hutton, and George Fehndrick, Manager. The reserve squad, coached by Elmer Smith, won eleven out of thirteen games and tied for first place in the cou ty. Players were: Waite Westervelt, Tes- ter Wilkins, Ralph Cochran, Charles Hawkins, Stuart Bovard, Robert Dunlap, George Williams, Dan Mayer, Bob Weston, Harry Dildine, William Tulloss, Rudolph Mats, and Dick Mayer. DRAMATICS The juniors, under the direction of Miss Lawson, presented as their class play this year a mystery, Oh Kayln Romantic interest was supplied by Betty Watts and Bob Hickinbotham, while Phyllis Clippinger and Dan Mayer as Gram and Gramp evoked most laughter. One of the best plays presented at Utica in re- cent years was the BUILDER play, nNo Women Wanted.' The splendid performances of Phyllis Clippinger as a wise-cracking show-girl, and of Charles Martin as her woman-hating catch, together with Jean Patton's por- trayal of a temperamental Mexican, made the produc- tion especially outstanding. Utica's student-financed entry in the District One-Act Play Contest to be held at Denison University on May 6 will be 'A View from the Porch.' Jeanne Scott, Jean Patton, and Dan Mayer com rise the cast. The senior play has not yet been chosen. MUSIC The Christmas Cantata, in appropriate observance of the Yuletide season, featured familiar carols sung by the chorus, tableaux depicting the Christmas story, and a candlelight processional and recessicnal. A trio composed of Frances Berry, Charline Hooper, and Jeanne Scott received the rating of nvery Goodn at the Eastern Central Music District-Contest. Wayne Fawcettfs baritone solo was rated nExcel1ent.' Hg.'111 go to Oberlin May 14 for the state finals. Miss Wolfe will direct the All-County Chorus this spring. Utica representatives will be Charline Hooper, Frances Berry, Evelyn Watts, Jeanne Scott, Betty Davi- son, Marietta Adams, Naomi Finney, Betty Ritchey, Wayne Fawcett, Charles Martin, William Tulloss, Carl Weston, and Ed Reynolds.
